Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

"Alright, An, it's getting late, let's talk another day!"

"Yes, Mom, let's go home!"

Everyone has already left.

Seeing that Anne was still staring intently at Henry, as if she still had many questions to ask, Gloria gently patted her arm to remind her that it was getting late.

Gordon held Ann's hand and whispered.

An looked at the gradually emptying square and realized the passage of time.

He smiled sheepishly and apologized to Henry, "Sorry, Henry, I was just too excited."

Your talent is truly astonishing; I don't even know how to express it.

Henry waved his hand and smiled, "It's alright, Aunt, I'm glad you like my work."

As for the literary seminar, we can discuss that in more detail later.

Now, it's definitely time to go home and rest.

Good night……"

After saying goodbye to each other, the four boarded their respective convoys.

On the way home, the car was unusually quiet, with only the occasional sound of tires rubbing against the road.

The city was exceptionally quiet under the cover of night, with only a few streetlights flickering faintly.

"Henry, you shouldn't be getting into a conflict with the Thais at this time."

This will create a negative rift between you and the Columbia control.

Gloria broke the silence, her voice tinged with worry.

Henry slowly opened his eyes and asked firmly, "Mom, if I show submission, will they smoothly hand over control of Columbia to me?"

"I know, Henry."

However, sometimes we still need to remain calm and avoid unnecessary disputes.

After all, our current situation is not stable, and any wrong move could have unpredictable consequences.

I understand your concerns.

However, we cannot compromise on certain things.

That would only embolden the Thais.

After hearing this, Gloria patted Henry's hand helplessly and comforted him, "Well, Henry, I just hope you can be more careful."

We have many more opportunities; there's no need to rush.

We must learn from the mistakes of the Ford family and strive to avoid them.

Gloria wasn't worried about the little incident at tonight's auction;

After all, Getty isn't your average gun!

The reason she emphasized this repeatedly was because she noticed Henry's increasingly obvious hostility towards Tai.

This made her deeply fear that Henry would follow in Ford's footsteps.

In 1920, Henry Ford, America's first anti-government figure, used his keen insight to expose the hypocrisy of the Thais.

At that time, he felt deeply about the potential threat that Thais posed to the country and society, and resolutely funded the writing of a powerful book - "THE INTERNATIONAL JEW: The World's Foremost Problem".

In this book, Ford details how the Thais, by controlling the news media, implementing authoritarian guidance, and even distorting core culture, have shrouded innocent people in a false information cocoon.

The public is unknowingly misled and blindly follows others, like a blind man riding a blind horse, approaching a deep pool in the middle of the night, unaware of the danger.

Looking back from a modern perspective, it must be said that Ford was a visionary and thoughtful man.

However, in the 1920s and 30s, Ford's vision did not receive the recognition it deserved.

On the contrary, his remarks were distorted into heresy by the Thai-controlled media and were met with fierce criticism from the public.

Ayew and his ilk used their influence in media channels such as film, television, and newspapers to launch a comprehensive crackdown on Ford.

First, Jewish journalist Bernstein launched a fierce attack on Ford in his book "The History of Lies," published the following year, accusing him of fabricating facts and spreading rumors.

Then, Thai lawyer Alan Shapiro followed up by suing Ford for defamation, attempting to destroy his reputation through legal means.

Not to be outdone, the Liberty Times devoted an entire page to spreading the rumor that "Ford's chief engineer was a German spy."

This series of malicious attacks tarnished Ford's reputation, and the company, once hailed as the pride of America, was instantly labeled a "German spy company."

It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them!

Faced with these unfounded accusations and attacks, Ford had no choice but to file a lawsuit in court to prove that its engineers were not spies.

Although he ultimately won the lawsuit, he still lost a great deal of public support.

This is because Thais have controlled the American film, television, and newspaper industries through various means since the early 20th century.

The media's discourse power is generally concentrated in the hands of the Thais, who are unwilling to follow up on the subsequent developments of this incident.

In particular, the three most influential newspapers in the United States—The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post—are all under their control.

Against this backdrop, Ford found itself in an unprecedented predicament.

Forced to bow down and submit to the Thai conglomerate, the newspaper publicly apologized and, seven years later, reluctantly closed down the Dearborn Independent.

Until the eve of his death, Ford was still repenting for his past actions and hoping to gain the understanding of the Thai chaebol.

You must understand, this is Henry Ford!

As the creator of the world's first automotive assembly line, the other party transformed automobiles from luxury goods into a means of transportation for ordinary people.

Based on this alone, he was on par with Rockefeller at the time.

But even such an outstanding Anglo-Saxon elite and head of an automotive tycoon had to bow down and compromise when faced with pressure from Thai conglomerates.

If this had happened to anyone else, Gloria couldn't even imagine the terrible fate that would have befallen them.

"Of course I know that."

However, my situation is different from Mr. Ford's.

He declared war on the entire Thai ethnic group.

As for me, I was just teaching a piece of trash from Thailand a lesson.

I don't think the Thai forces in California would retaliate against me on such a large scale because of this.

To distract Gloria, Henry changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Mom, what's going on with you tonight?"

Did you get any valuable resources in exchange?

"Of course, my son."

I really learned a lot from tonight's party.

After Gloria realized that Henry wasn't acting recklessly, she smiled slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes, "I used the Grand Cherokee design blueprints you gave me to secure Chrysler's cooperation."

They also acquired the Townsend family's medium-sized beverage factory in Illinois.

"A beverage factory?"

"good!

The Townsend family went to great lengths to acquire Chrysler.

They are now restructuring their assets, attempting to divest some non-core businesses in order to focus more on their core industries.
