Li Mengyang is sure of one thing, that is, the son of the big man Bill, that is, Rockefeller, the future richest man in the world, and the owner of the building of the same name.

Who would have thought that a guy like Big Man Bill, a charlatan who has nothing to do to sell 'Powerful Pills', would be the father of the richest man in the future?

Moreover, until now, Li Mengyang didn't know what the big man's surname was Bill, of course, it was also Rockefeller, you see, how unreliable is this guy? …… Well, Li Mengyang didn't ask in detail.

How is this confirmed?

It's very simple, because Li Mengyang has seen Rockefeller's photos, if you look closely, it looks very much like Putin, it's just that he has more beard, and now, the young Putin is standing in front of Li Mengyang......

So what is the future richest man here for?

It's simple, I hope that my father can give some time and pay back the money......

Yes, Rockefeller's business at this time is a little unturnable, he borrowed 1,000 dollars from his father before, and he came to intercede.

So, then Li Mengyang is here, he has money, and in fact, he is totaling, does this money have anything to do with him? Will Big Man Bill ...... Well, Bill, the big man, swears to God that it wasn't Mr. Clint's money.

That's right, he cheated that silver mine to get it before, and that's a lot of money.

It doesn't matter, Li Mengyang will make the decision, and borrow $1,000 from the richest man in the future!

It's really too generous, and Rockefeller is really flattered......

Well, the advantages of the traverser are vividly displayed at this time!

However, Li Mengyang has not forgotten Yelena, don't you want a gun for a woman?

Simple, make the barrel shorter, then the caliber becomes smaller, the bullet is smaller, then the cartridge case does not need to be so large, and the requirements for the charge are less.

So, Yelena agreed to help Li Mengyang improve the gunpowder. However, I thought that her conditions were more convenient, that is, the Dupont family, so wouldn't it be easy to make gunpowder?

It turned out that this was really not the case, the DuPont family did not allow women to touch gunpowder!

It turns out that the roots of feminism are here...... Forget it, Li Mengyang funded a real room in New York, but to be honest, Li Mengyang is quite worried, what if a beautiful woman is blown up? Those who engage in gunpowder, especially in this era, are few physically intact.

But people Yelena said it's okay, just hire a few assistants, and the professional kind.

Li Mengyang naturally agreed, anyway, he was not short of money.

Even in the middle of the 19th century, the boss of the listed company was very good......

It should be said that after Li Mengyang came to the east, he used the resources at his disposal, and now he has mastered an ideological weapon, the New York Evening News, an arsenal, and in addition, he has also propagated communist theories, which has planted the seeds in the working class......

It can be said that the whole big plan is almost done, and everything that can be done has been done. However, there is still one last and most important link in this big plan, and that is time!

Li Mengyang knew that he had to wait, wait until that time, and this was also to let the seeds he sown take root and sprout, so that a qiē would come to fruition, and that time would be in 1861!

But there is a saying that 'it is up to man to do things', and a few months later, in September 1859, an accident came......

Eleanor stared at the window of the New York Evening News office in a daze, she was not lazy, but looking out the window at a couple of men and women!

"Who do you think I am?"

Li Mengyang sent Elena away, she came to report her research results today, this result is still good, he is very happy, but when he turned back to his newspaper, he saw Eleanor's cold face.

At this time, there is no one in the newspaper, and there are still a lot of reporters from the "Evening News", but we are an evening newspaper, it is already half of the night, and it should be time to go home from work, Li Mengyang, the boss is still good, he insists on the 8-hour work system.

"For whom?" Li Mengyang was in a good mood, so when he heard this question, he wanted to make a joke, he was always joking with the previous Yelena, "You are my female captive, haha!" ”

"......" Eleanor's face was even more unsightly.

Actually, Eleanor didn't want to face Li Mengyang with such a face, because it made her look like a jealous woman, but the problem is that sometimes, people's temperament explodes and can't be controlled.

"Okay, I'm not strict enough." Li Mengyang saw that there seemed to be something going on here, but he still didn't take it too seriously, "Helen, my goddess, how's it going?" ”

'Eleanor' is a Greek variant of 'Helen', and Helen, the beautiful woman who caused a great war, is praised in poetry and evidenced by the Trojan Horse...... In addition, the current Eleanor is indeed beautiful and generous, and Li Mengyang's words are not against his will. Moreover, it is still a pun here, inheriting the previous 'female captive', which happens to tell things through ancient stories, which is very meaningful.

"You ......" However, such 'rhetoric' did not impress Eleanor, but made her even more angry, but at this time, someone suddenly came in.

"Daddy! Someone is looking for you! It was Xiao Shanzi, a daredevil, who was somewhat flustered, which attracted Li Mengyang's attention.

"Who?"

"We've met before, in Kansas!"

"Huh?"

Kansas? It's been more than a year since he's been gone, so who could be looking for him?

"Aha! Mr. Brown really didn't expect to see you here. Matthew's voice came in first.

"Yes! I didn't expect that either! But this time, my old friend and I came because of something! ”

Li Mengyang heard it, it was John Brown!

When an outsider came, Eleanor had no choice but to suppress her anger and glare at him fiercely before leaving the newspaper office.

Li Mengyang didn't fail to see Eleanor's sharp gaze, but he was now more concerned about this visiting John Brown, what was this old guy doing in New York?

"Hah! This is Clint Lee, right? As soon as John Brown came in, he hugged Li Mengyang very warmly, as if the two were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

"Hello Mr. Brown." Li Mengyang just said that Li Mengyang, to be honest, he really couldn't understand what was wrong with John Brown, and when he was in Kansas, they didn't know each other very well.

"That's right! That's him, he used to be called Clint Eastwood! "Matthew didn't know what was wrong, so he mentioned it.

When Li Mengyang saw the wine bottle in this guy's hand, he basically understood that he had filled too much horse urine!

"yes, that's me, hey, that'...... Who is this gentleman? Li Mengyang saw that John Brown had also brought a person, an old man about the same age as him, but very chubby.

"Come on! Let me introduce you to this famous philanthropist in Boston, Thomas Parkinson, who is also an old friend of mine, hahaha! John Brown laughed as he spoke, apparently the two of them had a good relationship.

"Hello."

"Hello! Mr. Li, you are really amazing, as a Qing countryman, you can write such a beautiful article, this is simply a blessing from God! ”

This Parkinson's, Li Mengyang has really heard of it, it seems to be quite famous in Boston, he seems to be a Unitarian pastor, he often goes to the newspapers, Boston is very close to New York, everyone can find some news from each other.

"Thomas came this time to see your newspaper, and he really wanted to see what the largest newspaper in the United States was like, and now he has seen it." John Brown explains their intentions.

"Hah! It's really good, I want to invest in the newspaper industry! Parkinson looked around.

Li Mengyang didn't think about what these two old men said at this time, what kind of visit, this is obviously an excuse, if you come to visit, you can wait until now? There's no one in this newspaper?

Li Mengyang was thinking about something else, that is, the source of funds for this guy John Brown.

"I'm sure Mr. Parkinson must have wanted to emancipate the slaves." Very abruptly, Li Mengyang came to such a sentence.

"Hah! Of course! Parkinson replied simply.

In fact, I know this sentence without asking, if I can get together with John Brown, can I have other views on the matter of slavery? However, this is just an introduction for Li Mengyang.

"I believe that Mr. Parkinson must have given Mr. Brown great support?" Li Mengyang's words are equivalent to asking directly, 'You are the financier behind Brown, right?' But this question is very appropriate to come up at this time, because it is really normal to talk about abolition of slavery now, and there is also the previous sentence.

"Of course! For abolition, I can go bankrupt! Parkinson gave the answer directly, and it was an honor for him.

"Worthy of a philanthropist! God will bless you! Li Mengyang had already set out his words, and then gave a completely worthless God blessing, he is not a believer.

In fact, Li Mengyang has always been a little curious about who is behind John Brown, because although this old guy used his son and son-in-law to be his own soldiers, but this also needs money, as far as his wool business, Li Mengyang has done it, and he can't make a lot of money!

So, the question now is, why did John Brown come to him Li Mengyang? Do you want to make more money?

Li Mengyang didn't know Parkinson's true financial strength at this time, so he could only make such an inference, but ......

"Hah! I'll go to the toilet first, people are old, people are old...... "Parkinson's urgency."

Li Mengyang asked Xiao Shanzi to take him there, at least don't let Matthew's drunkard make a fool of himself again, then the next thing is the dialogue time between John Brown, Li Mengyang and Matthew.

What people didn't expect was that this old guy got straight to the point as soon as he came up.

"You're Clint Eastwood, aren't you?" John Brown said this to Li Mengyang.

"Of course I am." Li Mengyang spread his hands and expressed his acknowledgement.

But!

"I'm talking about, Clint Eastwood, the thief!" John Brown laughed, and he smiled cautiously!

"......" Li Mengyang wanted to deny it, but when he looked at John Brown's smile, he remembered that his former director of education also laughed like this when he caught himself making mistakes......

The next words involved a big plan of John Brown, and this qiē was clearly heard by Eleanor, who was hiding nearby......
