Alchemy Greater China

[439] Rockefeller from joy to sorrow

As for whether there are superstructures of certain countries in hand, let's not pursue it for now. Anyway, when the "economic sanctions against the United States" are about to come to an end, the "academic sanctions against the United States" oriented towards technology are already vast. Stepping out of Europa, an invisible academic blockade stands on the Atlantic Ocean!

At the beginning, the newly formed Cleveland "government" didn't take this "academic sanction" seriously. In other words, the new President had too many important things to deal with, which caused the staff to greatly prioritize this matter.

After all, the United States is still an emerging industrial country at the stage of the 'world factory', and it doesn't pay much attention to academics, technology, and knowledge.

But when the academic blockade lasted for three months, and the time entered October 1892, the United States was shocked to find that many research projects in its universities could not continue!Because the professor who was the main research force was transferred back to Europe, important materials and data were also destroyed...

The most direct impact is that more than a thousand experimental projects entrusted by capitalists in the country were interrupted, aborted, and dropped. A large number of small and medium-sized capitalists who had borrowed money were forced to declare bankruptcy because they could not put into production. The unemployment rate in the eastern United States was 12. October was up [-] percent.

Dozens of prestigious universities were also affected by the catastrophe. They were sued by the bankrupt capitalists and demanded compensation for their economic losses...

In big cities like Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia, people have already taken to the streets to protest the inaction of the "government" in Cleveland, demanding that they negotiate with the European academic community as soon as possible to lift this nightmare academic sanction.

Cleveland panicked.Quickly asked the boss in the background - the Rockefeller family.

Speaking of which, how could Cleveland hook up with the Rockefeller family, one of Long Hao's enemies?In fact, this is not surprising. [

The presidents of the United States are the spokespersons of the super chaebols. If their policies are to be implemented, they must have the support of these chaebols, and even many of them.He was originally a member of the chaebol.

After Cleveland came to power, he naturally had to choose a backer, and the Rockefeller family, which had recently grown in power, became his best choice.

And when it comes to Rockefeller's rising power, we have to mention the stock case of the 'Earl Plate Roller Coaster'.

The stock market before the big miracle day needs to be repeated. A number of super consortiums led by DuPont made a large short sale of the earl plate.

But when the miracle day came, six British battleships sank mysteriously.Seeing that the earl plate was about to explode, jp Morgan suddenly made a move, which hurt others and stopped the trading of the earl plate in the four major exchanges.

When trading resumed, consortiums such as DuPont and Lehman Brothers suffered heavy losses on short futures orders. It is conservatively estimated that the overall loss was as high as [-] million U.S. dollars!

They originally wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob them, but their vitality was seriously injured.

And the Morgan consortium was also uncomfortable, because they violated many orders of jp Morgan, and made too many mistakes in buying and selling Earl plate stocks.Being chased and spanked by tk Morgan, although he made some money back on the Miracle Day, he was caught in the trap when the Xiabo Department ravaged California, and the loss was not small, at least the 8000 million US dollars of JP Morgan's "pocket money" Lost all.

Fortunately, the family of the Morgan Consortium has a big business, and JP Morgan was discharged from the hospital in time. Taking this opportunity, he severely repaired those disobedient elders in the family, and retired those who should retire.The exile of the exile.Those who should be buried in the soil have regained the power of the family in their hands.Even stronger than before!

When it comes to overall profit and loss, it's hard to say whether JP Morgan is losing money or making money.

The super chaebol collective in the east encountered 'Waterloo' in the earl plate.It is naturally Rockefeller who has been on the sidelines for the benefit of the fisherman. Therefore, the qualification to operate behind the scenes of this US "government" falls on John Rockefeller without any hesitation.

No, Mahan's high position in the Admiralty is the manifestation of Rockefeller's energy.

In other confidential departments, John Rockefeller also exchanged interests with Glover Cleveland, each of which obtained relatively satisfactory results.

It can be said that apart from Long Hao, perhaps they are the ones who have benefited the most from the bombardment crisis and jmw.

Moreover, John is also very proud of his arrangement in the Gulf of Alaska: using an oil exploration ship to strangle the lifeline of the Earl of the North Sea's gold mine, this magical stroke made him happy for several days. [

John Rockefeller, who was proud of his horseshoe disease and was about to sing a song, was kicked by academic sanctions. Before Cleveland's call for help came, he had already been affected by this seemingly inconspicuous "whirlwind".

Not to mention that many of the bankrupt small and medium-sized capitalists are inextricably linked to Rockefeller, even if the experimental project jointly conducted by this family and several universities has to be interrupted, it is enough to make John Rockefeller furious!

Oil refining technology, ship power project, iron and steel smelting technology, artillery development project...these key projects that Rockefeller spent a lot of time researching have all been "stranded" without exception, not to mention universities, and even independent projects sponsored by consortia. The research room also sneaked away many scientists.

Because of the word from Europe, scholars working in the United States will not be included in the shortlist for the next year's International Academic Awards.

John Rockefeller would not be in a hurry if he just blocked the United States. He didn't believe that Europe would really let go of such a big market as the United States?Will those European scientists who are greedy for fame really have the heart to miss the high salary he offers?

However, the academic sanctions in Europe do not block the entire United States, but clearly give a "loophole": scholars who study at Stanford University, or scientists who work for companies under the name of the Earl of the North Sea, are not included in the scope of the ban.

This damn, it can be regarded as a resounding slap in the face of the Eastern University Union, and even John Rockefeller was slapped until his old face was red, blue and embarrassing!

This "loophole" in European academic circles is clearly supported by the Earl of Beihai: Well, the US "government" doesn't do anything, right?Then I will strongly praise Stanford University, which is controlled by Earl, and its scientific research projects.

In addition, the media that was 'ripened' by Long Hao fanned the flames.Stanford University became popular immediately, and it became popular all over the world.

In September alone, Stanford University announced the opening of three campuses, in Los Angeles, Salem and Seattle.

And send high-paying invitations.Invite well-known or powerful professors to teach at Stanford University and provide the funds needed to meet their research projects.

Also offering high salaries, there is also a research institution under the name of the Earl of Beihai. Among them, Meihao Chemical Factory, which produces penicillin and whitening medicine, is the most famous. The salary it gives is even higher than the highest salary given by the Rockefeller family. Better than thirty percent.

In this way, academic sanctions and the temptation of high salaries go hand in hand, and it's no wonder that universities in the eastern United States and the chaebols in the east can retain talents.

For this reason, John Rockefeller roared loudly at the internal meeting of the family: Shame!It's so shameful that the oriental boy is unconscious.So why did Beihai Bank get so much money to loan money to the school?Isn't this throwing banknotes into the Pacific Ocean?

John thought that he had blocked off Alaska, so he cut off Long Hao's financial resources, but who knew that Long Hao had made a lot of money from the Rothschild family, and the money he made in the stock market and the war, It is also enough to cover the output of Alaska for several years.

Alaska is no longer Long Hao's main source of income.

In this regard, although John is not very clear.But it is also very naive: the Earl of Beihai is in a "coma" too soon. Originally, when Harrison stepped down, he was going to urge the new US "government" to conduct a criminal investigation on Long Hao, so as to forcibly annex his possessions. A few 'hens' who laid golden eggs (zss and Meihao), however, the Earl of Beihai fainted in World War I and immediately became a victim of tragedy. The investigation of what sank five American destroyers could not proceed at all .

otherwise.European countries will definitely accuse the United States of being dishonest.Whether the brutal economic sanctions will be withdrawn will also become a variable!At least.The postponement is certain, and under the big stick of economic sanctions, the super consortiums like Rockefeller are the ones who have been hit the hardest.

so.John had no choice but to grit his teeth and let Long Hao go, but who knows, academic sanctions came after he let go. Instead, those "hens" that made him envious, with the help of many scientists who flocked in, became well-nourished. There is a growing tendency to fill up... In the past, one golden egg was laid a day, maybe in a few months, it will become two, three, or even more a day!

This made John Rockefeller really sleepless. The reason is that the Earl of the North Sea is Carnegie's financial backing, and according to intelligence, Carnegie has successfully obtained the mining and operation rights of several mines in Australia, and... The right to build three railways!

This information came after Cleveland's call for help. It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. It completely turned John's triumphant horseshoe into a sad and difficult heart!

Who is Andrew Carnegie?

That was John Rockefeller's confidant, and John's fear of him was several times that of another John (jp Morgan).

It’s been a long time since I heard from Carnegie. John Rockefeller thought he died in the bombardment crisis or the June Mire Battle, but who would have thought that he would go to Australia to mine and build roads without knowing the truth? ?

What a white whale energy group, if Rockefeller hadn't arranged some high-end eyeliner in Australia, this Carnegie would have played a trick under his nose!

After John received the information, his face seemed to be full of chlorine gas, green like lettuce: Andrew, Andrew, you are getting more and more out of bounds, and you actually use an empty shell group to play secret tricks with me, you your glory, your pride?What about the Iron Kingdom you built from scratch?How can you still look like a noble king, you are just a tortoise shrunk in a shell, bah, you are no longer worthy to be my opponent, John Rockefeller...Damn it!

After scolding, John Rockefeller still felt a burst of fear, he knew Carnegie too well!

This talented steel magnate, if it wasn't for his shortcomings in background and lack of attention to resources, he and JP Morgan combined might not necessarily be his opponent.

Who makes the United States have the greatest demand for steel at this stage, and the era of oil and finance is far from coming.

Once Carnegie makes up for the shortcomings in capital and iron ore resources, the super chaebol circle in the United States will cause a huge change.However, Rockefeller and Morgan, who are in conflict with Carnegie, can only fight to the end with them, and they will never stop!

Do it, damn it.How could they have the right to explore mining areas in Australia?

I remember that these good things have been divided up ten years ago, and even I only got a little bit of leftovers, and Carnegie...is absolutely impossible to get some of them from those people?

No, I want to act. Roosevelt and Mahan must act for me...

After talking about the dynamics of the eastern chaebol, the time is pulled back to late July, San Francisco, which is in full swing.

Yuan'er passed in a week of wild thoughts.On this day, Long Bo and others finally arrived.

Long Hao 'happened' at the end of June, but it took nearly a month for Long Bo to come late. Is this an ulterior motive?This time, are you well-prepared for a major earthquake?

Yuan'er led the people, and while waiting at the train station, her heart was beating more and more.

Yes, you read that right.It's the train station!

On the premise that the port of San Francisco resumes international navigation, Long Bo and his party actually came by train. This alone is enough to make Yuan'er, Gao Tianyang and others feel uneasy.

The train finally arrived, and the first one to get off was Long Bo, with a straight waist and dignified as always.Rao Gao Tianyang is now alone.But as the servant of the Long family, when facing the old housekeeper.He also lowered his head.

This is the family tradition of the Chinese people. Even though it has been three years since the escape, this habit has been rooted in the bones.Apart from Long Hao, Long Bo can be regarded as the most authoritative and most able to call the shots in this group of people!

It is even possible to win Gao Tianyang and Long Ganruo with one word.

After all, Long Hao came from the world rebuilt after the disaster in the future, and his understanding of the relationship between Chinese people's dignity, fame, master and servant, etc. is not so thorough. After that, the first thing to do is...restrain his old housekeeper.

No matter how loyal he is, there must be checks and balances, because in many cases, loyalty does not mean doing good things.

On this point, I have to admit that as an alchemist, Long Hao did not do well.

It's okay as usual, with him, the only son of the Long family, leading the battle, the general direction can be grasped, but now, Long Hao's "irresponsible" walk away has brought hidden dangers to Huaxia Town. In the blink of an eye, there may be a huge hidden danger that may destroy the achievements of these three years of hard work.

Long Bo stood on the platform with his hands behind his back, and there were still people getting off the car one by one behind him, but Long Bo's cold eyes made Yuan'er wait for the pick-up person, almost ignoring the people who fell down, but he kept trembling slightly, bearing the extreme pressure. big pressure.

Just when Yuan'er and the others couldn't bear it anymore, Long Bo finally spoke.

"Master is still in the hospital?"

"Ah? Um..."

"Nonsense, Yuan'er, why don't you stay with the young master? It's been a long time since you've been out, how about the rules..."

This is already a very severe reprimand. Uncle Long is like Yuan'er's half father, or even a grandfather. Suddenly, Yuan'er's eyes turned red and she shed tears.

In other words, she didn't regard the person on the bed as a young master at all in her heart, and she felt that it was normal for her to leave today and come to the station to greet her, but she didn't want to be caught by Uncle Long, so she beat her down.

"Yuan, Yuan'er knows it's wrong."

"Uncle Long, the carriage is outside, shall we go to the hospital first?" Gao Tianyang took a breath and interjected.

"Let's not be busy..."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Long refused: "I have to wait for one more person, and we will go together when they are all together, hey!"

Hearing this slightly nasty sigh, the people who picked up the car, including Long Ganruo, couldn't help being a little surprised: Who are we waiting for?Who can make Long Bo wait?

That's right, the only person in Huaxia Town who is qualified to let Long Bo wait, seems to be still in the intensive care bed of the San Francisco Hospital!

The answer to the mystery was soon revealed, and the person waiting was... an eunuch!

A young eunuch from the Qing Dynasty, only in his thirties, wearing an inappropriate 'zombie suit', with a stiff face, a bunch of braids at the back of his head, flicking back and forth like a dog's tail, and talking like a male duck in spring , making people uncomfortable to hear.

All in all, it gives everyone a very bad feeling!

They have been away from home for three years. Yuaner and the others have experienced hardships and good times. They have also gone back to the land of the motherland several times, but this is the first time I have seen eunuchs, a 'specialty' in the Forbidden City!

This seems to remind everyone that the orthodox ruling class in China is still the Aixinjueluo family, and the majority of compatriots are still groaning under the feet of these eunuch masters. The goals of Huaxia Town and Longlin Party are far from being realized.

The little eunuch's name is Sun Jian, formerly known as Sun Jian, and he is a confidant of the chief eunuch Li Lianying. This time he went abroad and crossed the sea. Ben, this little bamboo shoot died eight times.

However, now that the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty is weak, it is all supported by Cixi and a group of capable Han officials. Back then, An Dehai was able to 'leave the capital without permission'. Today, it is not uncommon for Sun Jianer to appear in San Francisco, thousands of miles away. , not to mention, he has an imperial decree!

It is said that Long Bo's "on the road" was delayed for nearly a month, which was also related to this eunuch.

Pressing the reason first, the bamboo shoot got out of the car and paced back and forth on the platform several times.

But seeing him with his hunched back straight, walking in all directions, as if he wanted to step on a golden hall in a foreign country.

In fact, he only changed into this zombie official uniform when he arrived at the San Francisco station, in order to scare the 'servants' of the Earl of Beihai!

The reason is very simple, because he represents Lafayette, the emperor!
