America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

At this point in time, many people in America have seen an opportunity because of the emergence of the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Numerous detective agencies have sprung up in America, but most of them are not profitable.

Therefore, these detective agencies will disappear again in a short period of time.

However, this industry is so profitable that detective agencies go bankrupt one after another, only to reappear in the next.

The Pinkerton Detective Agency is like a mountain pressing down on these detective agencies.

In New York, several detective agencies that were already struggling to survive were approached by Li Changsheng's clone and immediately agreed to be acquired.

After simply integrating five detective agencies, the Global Detective Agency was established.

The first task after the detective agency was established was naturally to investigate who was trying to steal the patent from Li Changsheng's clone.

After merging the five companies, the detective agency now has more than 100 detectives.

Within just three hours, someone had found out the company behind it.

McVell, the alter ego of the president of the Global Detective Agency, sneered after reading the information.

"So that's why they came to us!"

"Oh, it's a steel company. And judging from the situation, it's a steel company that was only recently established."

"Germania Steel Company, this company was just established and it has already invested so much, and it's even producing cast iron. It would be strange if there wasn't someone behind it."

"It seems that the investors behind this company saw that the iron blocks they produced could not be sold, so they thought of taking my patent and turning the steel mill into a radiator factory."

"I have to say, if your plan succeeds, it could really help you transform your business, and it might even allow you to expand and grow the steel plant."

"But unfortunately, since you're going to take action, I don't mind turning my radiator factory into a steel mill."

"After all, steel mills can produce more things, and their future development will be better."

"The limitations of a radiator factory are still too great."

McVell called everyone from the detective agency together and looked at them as he spoke.

"You may not know this, but although we are a detective agency, we are actually affiliated with the Global Patent Group."

"And the Global Patent Group is a truly large conglomerate that spans the world."

"For them, the last thing they lack is money. They don't care about any problem that money can solve."

"Our detective agency has just been established, and what we lack most is money. Only with money can we grow and expand."

"As the detective agency grows and prospers, you are all veterans, and you all have opportunities for the future."

"So now your task is simple: find out who's behind this Germania Steel Company."

"Since he doesn't want to follow the rules, then let's not talk to him about the rules."

"As long as we handle this matter well, the money will be plentiful. The growth and expansion of the detective agency will also be inevitable."

"If the Future Detective Agency develops well, you can each be in charge of an area."

It must be said that, as Li Changsheng said, everyone in this world values ​​only interests.

More than 100 detectives, lured by McQuay's promises, quickly learned that the Germania Steel Company was not backed by one person, but by a group of wealthy second-generation heirs from Missouri steel mills.

Thanks to their family connections, they quickly obtained the latest equipment and technology, and soon assembled a team to set up a factory. Unfortunately, problems arose when it came time to sell their products.

This period was the opportune time for American Steel to transform.

This was also the time when a large number of new types of steel emerged.

With the emergence of various new types of steel, steel production has increased year by year, so cast iron has become less and less useful.

This has resulted in cast iron being difficult to sell.

Large companies have monopolized the market for cast iron, so new companies like theirs simply can't sell their cast iron products.

Just when these rich kids thought their company was going to fail, they heard about the patent for this radiator, which was made of cast iron, and so they set their sights on Li Changsheng.

It's a patent of a Chinese person; we can just take it.

In the end, we found out that the Chinese had sold it to an American. That was fine too. They had no connections. We could just take it back anyway, it would just cost a little more money.

As long as we can secure the patent for the radiator, everything else will be fine.

With this patent, their steel mill could be revived and even expanded.

Just as they were envisioning a bright future, they woke up to find everyone completely bewildered.

There were more than a dozen rich kids in total. After they woke up from a nap, they found that all their hair was gone.

An address was left next to them, and when they arrived at the address, they found that all of them, more than a dozen people, were already there.

Also appearing before them was Li Changsheng's clone, McVeigh.

"Gentlemen, let me introduce myself. My name is McQuay."

"You may not know me, but I must say that I am the president of the Global Detective Agency."

"Of course, you may be unfamiliar with this name, since you may only know Pinkerton Detective Agency."

"But it doesn't matter. All you need to know is that our detective agency was established because of you, and that it was established under the Global Patent Group."

"Now, on behalf of Global Patent Group, I would like to discuss this with you."

"If you are willing to donate your Germania Steel Group to Global Patent Group free of charge, then all previous unpleasantness will be wiped clean."

"Furthermore, we can cooperate in the future. After all, you have so many steel mills behind you, and there are still many opportunities for cooperation between the steel groups in the future."

What do you all think?

These dozen or so people had no choice but to come because their heads had been shaved off and they were threatened with death the next day if they didn't come.

I never expected this to be the result.

At this moment, although they regretted it, they did not want to give up the steel plant they had worked so hard to build.

One of them mustered up the courage to speak.

"What if we disagree?"

McVell laughed.

"You disagree? That's fine, I'll respectfully see you off."

Seeing the smiles on their faces, McVeigh's clone continued.

"But you must be very careful when you get back. Who knows, something might happen to one of you someday?"

Threat.

A naked threat.

However, no matter how resentful these second-generation rich kids were, they dared not show it.

Finally, considering their own safety, these people gritted their teeth and signed the papers, transferring the Germania Steel Plant to Universal Patent Group.

However, how could this matter possibly end there?

Li Changsheng's goal this time is to make a name for the Global Patent Group and the Global Detective Agency, so this is just the beginning.
