Act 129 Influenza

Doug couldn't find Black Eagle Bank's shareholders, not because they knew about Doug's takeover.

Rather, it was because of the group gathering at the Wilderness Villa that he contracted the flu.

However, these people did not know that they had influenza, and there was no clear title for influenza in another world until the Spanish flu of 1918.

Therefore, these people try to make their bodies better through various methods.

Like what......

Praying to God for repentance, it is said that if you are pious enough, all diseases will not be cured. After all, the reason they get this disease is because they gather to do things that adults would be happy about.

Another example......

Do something good and give a few days of relief to coolies who were sent to the forest farm to work as loggers in order to repay their bank loans when they are due.

Of course, there are also those who actually ask for a doctor.

However, doctors in this era have not yet recognized the virus. Therefore, there is no good way to deal with viral influenza.

Even......

In this era when the surgical environment was still like a slaughterhouse, there was no recommendation to keep the patient clean and tidy.

Mr. Potato ran for a long time before he learned the news.

When he told Doug about their illness, Doug decided not to contact the shareholders first. In this day and age, he didn't want to get sick.

However, he also knows that not getting sick is not something that can be completely avoided without contact.

Even if he tries not to go out, there will not be too few people coming out of the printing and dyeing factory every day.

Although in downtown New Haven, the buying boom for "Monopoly" has waned somewhat.

However, in this era of barren entertainment, any kind of interesting entertainment will spread rapidly through the traffic line.

Monopoly, a game that has no mandatory requirements for the venue, environment, or number of people, quickly spread.

Although the first sellers preferred to take the Monopoly apart and take the cash out and sell it.

However, when the first dealers who really wanted to operate on a large scale came to New Haven and were taught by Doug that "there is a package of sales methods for Monopoly", the unsealed version of Monopoly did not sell so well.

Doug's Monopoly propaganda strategy, except for the part of the little shoe-shiner, all the remaining links are templated and reproducible.

New Haven can graffiti posters on the wall, but why not New York? Chicago too?

For the dealers, they paid an agency fee to Doug and at the same time took the goods from the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory. What they get is a marketing strategy that can be replicated.

It doesn't take their minds to be open-minded, they just need to follow the step-by-step process.

This is true of the vast majority of things in this world, and it is easier for people to imitate than to pioneer.

For latecomers, it is easy to find the appearance of a pioneer and imitate it, and even from the bottom of my heart, I feel that it is nothing more than that.

Does that sound unfair to the Trailblazers?

That's true.

However, most of the time, pioneers reap the benefits of their pioneering behavior.

It includes both monetary wealth and spiritual wealth.

In this era, the vast majority of scientists in the field of practical science can become the richest people in the world as long as they factory their results and do not rely on others.

This is true of William Henry Parkin, an organic chemist who synthesized aniline violet in the UK, and so will Alfred Bernhard Nobel, who just left for Stockholm.

The outstanding people among the pioneers can not only use their accumulated wealth to name awards and inspire future pioneers.

It can also make their names become specific unit nouns, so that all those who come after them will remember them.

For middle school students hundreds of years from now, it may be just a short conclusion in the classroom, or a small experiment, which may be the result of the pioneering pioneers' life's work.

If you have to ask, don't you know how Doug promotes "Monopoly" and makes "Monopoly" a hit, and you will do it yourself.

There is no doubt that under the temptation of profit, there will be people who will do this.

However, this is not a big problem for Doug to worry about.

Although in the English region, because of the convenient transportation by sea, I feel that the world communicates very quickly.

However, if Doug really organized his own people to carry out the marketing of Monopoly in the United States and even the world, it would be an impossible thing.

In this way, it is better to make the impossible possible. Although, for this reason, some expected future gains will be lost, but for capitalists, only by surviving today can there be tomorrow, isn't it?

The franchise fees and purchase fees of more than a dozen agent dealers have allowed Doug to accumulate enough cash in his hands to repay the loan from Black Hawk Bank.

However, Doug was in no hurry to repay the loan.

Because, early repayment will not benefit him, and there will be no difference between interest and repayment when due, and in addition, it will have the negative effect of extremely tight cash flow.

Although the Winchester Arms Company wanted to hold the competition, the progress was somewhat slow.

But Winchester Arms, because of Drake's victory in New York, received an order that was enough to surprise Oliver.

But......

If you want to produce large quantities, you need to invest a lot of labor and material costs upfront.

It's a pity that the weapons and equipment sold to Drake were all sold at cost price, and the cash in Oliver's hand was still left over from Doug's shareholding at that time.

How is it possible to make weapons and equipment mass-produced with the few remaining gold coins?

After he deeply realized the importance of cash flow, and knew that if there was no cash, even if there was an opportunity to make money in front of him, he could only do it in a hurry, and he found Doug again.

However, although Doug readily agreed to give money, he made a suggestion that Oliver was very troubled by - he wanted to continue to inject money into Winchester Arms Company.

Right!

Not borrowing, but capitalizing.

If the Winchester Arms Company still looks like it was about to go bankrupt, as long as the company can continue to exist, Oliver will not have any entanglements.

But!

The current Winchester Arms Company is about to get on the right track.

At this time, Doug's desire to continue to inject capital is tantamount to digging Oliver's heart with a knife.

Oliver made a difficult choice, but finally agreed.

However, behind this forced consent, he had some thoughts about Doug in his heart.

Apparently, he had forgotten who brought Winchester Arms back to life.

Man, sometimes the memory is not as good as a goldfish.
