Chapter 910: Anne in 1911
Some people may not believe that the United States in 1911 will be in such chaos?
To tell the truth, the United States at this time was so chaotic, and the judiciary was still very corrupt. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As long as you have money, then in the United States you are basically equivalent to an 'emperor' existence, and everyone has to prostrate under your feet.
You know, the problem of corruption in the United States was only solved in the 80s, and this kind of problem has always existed before that, otherwise how could the Italian mafia be active for decades.
As an American, Anne has a deep understanding of this history, and of course she will use it to make it easier for her to act in the United States.
Abide by the rules, make money in her duty Anne doesn't understand, the problem is that even if she wants her duty, someone will force her to use such violent means.
Why did Cluffie's entire family perish?
It boiled down to the Texas side that Anne had a violent conflict with him.
Anne and the Cluffie family both want to monopolize the oil resources in Texas and control the land that contains black wealth here, and both sides will not give an inch on this issue, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all, so there is no way to work together.
As the indigenous Cluffie family of this time and space, they started by relying on violent means, which has led to the point where they are today, becoming American oil tycoons.
In the process of the rise of the Cluffie family, I don't know how many families have perished.
It can be said that every banknote of the Cluffie family has scarlet blood flowing on it.
In addition, the people of the Cluffie family also like to eat alone, and they don't like to compete with others in the oil field, once they find that someone wants to enter this field, then they will be ruthlessly attacked by the Cluffie family.
Assassination! Intimidation! These methods are endless!
It is precisely by relying on this way that the Cluffie family, under the leadership of the elder Cluffie, has created today's glory, wealth and status.
So how would they react when they found out that a woman was challenging their authority in the oil industry?
After some spying, they found that this woman had no less wealth than them, and at the same time mastered more advanced oil extraction technology, and also had many advantages, it became inevitable to use violent means to protect their own interests and eliminate this potential challenger at the same time.
It's just that no one in the Cluffie family thought that violence would bring them ruin.
In three attacks, Anne was confronted by gunmen sent by the Cluffie family, and after three full attacks, she began to fight back.
And the counterattack is so fierce that there is no room for room at all.
Come to think of it, everyone is going to have their own lives, so why should they have too many scruples on their side.
Even if you keep your hands, you don't necessarily feel that people will be grateful to you, on the contrary, you may feel that you are a bully, and you are a big fool.
Anne doesn't want to be a big fool, and she doesn't want people to feel like a bully.
In this era of 1911, it is necessary to show your strength and muscles.
So, the Cluffie family became a role model.
Within a short period of time, members of the Cluffie family were assassinated, or died what appeared to be accidents.
The explosion in the small town of Illinois caused the death of the last member of the Cluffie family, and the old Cluffie family is completely gone.
Because of the collapse of the Cluffie family, Anne now has no rivals in the oil field.
Coupled with the large amount of money (counterfeit money) in her hands, Anne could have found the farmers who owned the land alone and negotiated the purchase of the land without competition.
It's just that although there is no trouble with the Cluffie family, there will still be a little trouble coming to the door.
After all, there are always few people who are driven by the temptation of wealth.
Old Nord's report to Anne refers to these people.
As Anne gave the order, Old Nord immediately conveyed this instruction to the people below, and the native Americans of this time and space who were attached to Annie quickly began to act.
At this time, there were many people who did things for Anne.
Just like many rich people in the United States in this time and space, Anne also has a large number of people who specialize in doing 'unseemly' things to deal with some trivial and small things.
In addition, Anne is very generous and not stingy at all, so many people are willing to do things for Anne.
And among these people, there are even some parliamentarians, police chiefs and other existences.
The police chief of the small town of Illinois took a large sum of money from Anne, so he claimed that the explosion of the Cluffey oil branch was an accident, and there was no real story behind the incident.
In addition, Anne bribed a large number of media reporters, so these reporters shook their pens and smoothly diverted the public's attention, focusing on the side branch of the Cluffie family's wealth.
But for people with high status who can know the truth, they have begun to be afraid of such drastic methods as Anne.
As soon as he made a move, he was ruthless and killed his entire family, which made the American predators in 1911 very uneasy.
At this point, Anne is considered to have the number one in the United States.
------ Dividing Line------
On the outskirts of the small town of Illinois, in a remote grove on the farm, the farmer's family was tied upside down, trembling as they looked at several strong men not far away, taking turns beating a collaborator who wanted to contribute money and partner with him to develop the wealth under the farm.
It was a businessman from New York.
But at this time, this guy looked miserable, miserable, because he had been beaten by those strong men for hours, and now he didn't look like a human being.
One of the men, who looked like the leader, walked up to the merchant and raised his right hand to grab his jaw hard, straightening his face so that it was facing him.
In the firelight, it was clear that the businessman from New York had swollen cheeks, black eyes, and a few missing teeth in his mouth.
"Finally, I'll ask you, are you still reluctant to leave Illinois?"
The businessman, who had been beaten for several hours and had no human appearance at all, opened his swollen eyelids with great difficulty, glanced at the vicious man in front of him with difficulty, and then said with some indistinct words: "Even God can't stop my investment plan." ”
The land owned by the farmer has been explored to reveal a huge amount of oil resources.
Therefore, as long as he can persevere, then he can make a lot of money.
Faced with such a temptation of wealth, this businessman from New York did not want to quit like this anyway.
Even in the face of vicious beatings and inhuman destruction, he was unwilling to give up.
I have to say, this is a guy who sacrifices his life and money.
However, people like him are not unique in the United States in this era.
It can be said that most people would rather die than get rich.
After listening to his answer, the vicious man completely lost his patience.
"Well, it seems that fate is your own choice, maybe you still don't understand whose interests you are violating. ”
After saying that, the vicious man tilted his head at his companion, and then several men on the side came over and carried the businessman from New York to the edge of a dirt pit.
This pit was dug not long ago.
"Don't scare me, do you think you can force me to submit by such means!"
Although the businessman's eyes also flashed with fear, he was still holding on, and thought that the other party was scaring him, and he would not really do anything to himself.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
And the price of mistake is to pay with your own life.
Without saying a word, the men led the merchant to the edge of the pit and retreated, and then one of their companions appeared behind the merchant and slammed his shovel on the back of the merchant's head.
The limp body fell and slipped into the dirt pit.
The vicious man in the lead jumped out of the pit, and his companion handed him a stick, which he literally swung into his head a few times, and then jumped up again.
A few people on the side began to bury the earth in the pit.
Not far away, the farmer's family was already frightened at this moment.
After all, experiencing such a thing firsthand, it is difficult for people to maintain that calm mind.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then threw it on.
The vicious man walked up to the farmer's family: "Now that some of the flies have been solved, I wonder if we can talk about the farm land next?"
The farmer's family is already ownerless at this time, plus the other party is ruthless, and their family is in the hands of others, so what else can they do.
Eventually, the purchase of the land went well, and the family got a fair price and sold their land to the Wheatstone Oil Company.
After signing the contract, the farmer's family left Illinois overnight, a place that would make them feel horrified in the future.
And there were many more things like this happening around Illinois that night, some people died because of it, and some people were able to see the situation and left a small life.
Either way, Anne got the land she wanted.
Those opponents who wanted to compete with her were also eliminated by her one by one.
By the time these things were happening in small town of Illinois, Anne was on her way to New York on a train from the 1911 era.
In a luxurious whole independent carriage, Anne sat at the window and watched the night outside, while the butler Old Nord flipped through some papers on the other side.
After a while, old Nord looked up and said to Anne, "Kanai Steel is not satisfied with our offer, and has declared that he will never sell his hard work, and it seems that you are going to enter the steel industry by another means, Miss." ”
Anne turned her head slowly, looked at the old butler with an indifferent expression and said: "Send someone to find iron ore, and at the same time let people find a mine with an agreement with Kanai to talk, I want to control all the iron ore in my own hands, as long as I control the source of ore, Kanai is equivalent to being choked by me, and then send someone to talk to him." ”
The old butler Nord nodded, and complimented, "Very clever approach, miss. ”
