Mr. Estein had a smile on his face as he walked through the gates of Huntelaar Elementary School. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As he walked forward, Estein tidied up his bow tie and hat from time to time to make sure that no part of his body was rude. As a mid-level executive at Heinz Pharmaceuticals, Mr. Estein certainly has the right to be strict with himself, after all, he is now paid nearly $1,000 a year, which is enough to make a decent living for himself and his family.

"And starting tomorrow, my salary will go up another hundred dollars!"

Thinking of the meeting that had just ended in the morning, Mr. Estein couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Because he worked hard enough, he was transferred to a more important position by the company this morning, and his salary also rose by about 10%, which made Mr. Estein, who came to Huntelaar Primary School, particularly high-spirited!

"This afternoon, the school must give a reply!"

With the pride of his career, Mr. Estein felt full of confidence, and secretly thought: "At the very least, those Chinese should be isolated from class, of course, it would be better if they could be kicked out of school!" How can Mr. Huntelaar's school admit those yellow-skinned guys......"

……

"I, I don't quite understand, sir."

Looking at the school teacher in front of him dumbfounded, Mr. Estein stammered, "What did you mean...... The school will not only not isolate those Chinese, but will ...... Punish our children? ”

"That's right, Mr. Estin!"

Nodding, the young teacher explained lightly: "In fact, the principal has issued the latest school rules, no student is allowed to discriminate, abuse or beat other students for any reason, otherwise the first warning, the second expulsion, no exceptions!" I must warn you, Mr. Estan, that if your son insults any Chinese student again, he will be expelled from the school and will never be admitted again! ”

"Uh......"

With his mouth wide open, Mr. Estein felt himself covered all of a sudden.

This...... What's going on?

Accustomed to the insults to the Chinese in society, Mr. Estein thought that he had gathered so many parents that as long as they united to protest to the school, the other party would naturally obey and isolate the Chinese students into separate classes. And then he'll keep fighting until he kicks them out of the school - it's an insult to have his kids in the same school as the yellow-skinned guys!

But......

But Mr. Estein never expected the school to respond like this!

"Sir, I suppose you must be mistaken, right?"

After being stunned for a moment, Mr. Estein suddenly became angry: "I'm from Heinz Pharmaceutical, you can't treat our children like this!" I ask to see your headmaster immediately......"

"Shut up!"

This time the young teacher did not give Mr. Estein any more face, and he was already a little impatient, and said coldly: "Of course I know that you are from the Huntelaar Pharmaceutical Company, otherwise your child would not be qualified to enter this school at all!" And I'll tell you, John, the maker of these new rules? Mr. Huntelaar, he also issued another order, do you want to know? ”

"Yes...... What is it? ”

When he heard Mr. Huntelaar's name, Estan froze as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

"It's simple, just one word."

Squinting his eyes slightly, the young teacher had no mercy for the parent who took the lead in making trouble, and said coldly: "If any parent dares to make trouble again, he will be out of the Huntelaar family business forever!" ”

"Poof!"

This time he didn't say a word, and Mr. Estein sat down on the ground!

"Fuck off...... ...... forever"

These two words were like two sharp bayonets, piercing Mr. Estan's heart!

Historically, this was the fastest growing era in the United States, and at the same time one of the darkest. In the 1900s, with the Second Industrial Revolution ahead of the curve, Americans had become the world's leading industrial power. The outbreak of the Spanish-American War was proof that American industrial capital began to seek a broader market space. In the process, the Americans have received tremendous benefits.

With the rapid development, there are more pains.

Not to mention other aspects of social problems, the gap between the rich and the poor has become extremely terrible as the three giants of Rockefeller, Morgan and Carnegie began to dominate the United States. In the documentaries made by the Americans themselves, there is almost no hope for civilians in this era, for example, 90% of Americans earn less than $100 a year, and for example, in the annual statistics, 1 in 11 steelworkers will die in a factory!

It's the best of times, and it's the worst of times!

As a member of this era, no one knows this better than Mr. Estein. He still remembers a few years ago when he worked more than ten hours a day in a darkened factory, only to bring back a few black breads for his wife and children. Estein doesn't even want to remember this history now, especially now that he's "human-like."

And all of this is brought about by his job.

The Huntelaar family may not be the most prominent family in New York, after all, whether it is the old Vanderbilt or the new Morgan, Rockefeller and others, they are much more high-profile than him. But there is no doubt that the Huntelaar family must be the most benevolent of the rich people, and in their company, although the workers may not have much income, the working conditions and labor intensity are very satisfying. Moreover, the unique lunch subsidy system also allows workers to have more opportunities to subsidize their families. And for those who are really capable, such as excellent managers and technicians, including skilled workers with the latest technology, the Huntelaar family has never been stingy.

Estein himself was one of the beneficiaries.

So after listening to the young teacher's words at this time, Mr. Estein only felt as if he was immersed in ice water, and could no longer say a word......

Within a month of the new rules being announced, twenty-nine white students were expelled!

There are always people who don't want to accept the facts, so they become John's chickens to scare the monkeys. A few unbelieving parents came to the school to question the teachers, and John did not hesitate to expel him from his company—thanks to 1901, no one dared to make trouble with the Huntelaar family for a few employees.

No matter how many people came to intercede, with the support of John, the big boss behind the scenes, Dewey resolutely expelled these students, and he even fired several teachers who were resolutely opposed under pressure! As the person directly responsible for John, Dewey was well aware of the importance his boss attached to these Chinese children.

So for the next few years, almost every month Huntelaar expelled a few students who didn't know each other, even if they were just little children, and John wouldn't give any of them a second chance - in fact, he never cared about the future of these white kids, and he wouldn't even admit these students if it weren't for the better integration of his fellow citizens into the world!

Thunder means and soon stopped the bad trend.

Although privately very dissatisfied with John's methods, most teachers and parents understood one thing, for a purely personal school, no one could resist John's orders. Not to mention that fundamentally, all the parents of the students are employees of the Huntelaar family, not to mention that the children can't go to school, I'm afraid they won't even have their own jobs!

The United States in these years will not talk to you about human rights!

You don't see that a few years ago, when the workers of Carnegie Steel went on strike, it was not the friendly negotiations of those in power, but the crazy cavalry and roaring cannons! The splatters of blood soon taught the workers how to deal with the capitalists in this day and age. As one of the giants of the United States in this era, perhaps the wealth of the Huntelaar family is not as good as that of Rockefeller, and its influence is not as good as that of Carnegie and Morgan, but with the crazy expansion of Huntelaar banks and insurance companies in recent years, the rapid rise of Heinz Pharmaceutical Company has completely formed a huge consortium, and several giants have tacitly acquiesced that its status can be equal to itself.

Looking at the whole of New York, I'm afraid no one dares to say anything!

Therefore, after communicating with the two teachers in the United States several times, Rong Hong quickly decided to increase the number of students studying in the United States every year: two batches per year, about 100 people in each batch. And Yung Wing also promised that he would try his best to raise more funds to ease John's burden. With the tragic defeat of Gengzi Nian, Chinese people of insight have come to understand one thing more and more: learning from the West is the most urgent need at present. It's just that for most Chinese people, they don't understand what the outside world is like at all, and the discrimination of Westerners against Chinese people has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so at this time, a person who is willing to help China and is very capable appears, which naturally makes many people moved.

So, according to Yung Hong's plan, at the end of June 1901, a new batch of 85 young students would start their journey to the United States. Like many of their predecessors, these young students will travel from Shanghai, to San Francisco, and then to New York by train. What they see along the way will have a great impact on the young mind!

It's just that by this time, John didn't have time to take care of them.

1901 may have been an uneventful year for the whole world, with nothing more than the founding of Australia and the death of Queen Victoria. But for the United States, 1901 was not so simple. Perhaps in his memory of his previous life, John's understanding of the year was limited to a few paragraphs, but the benefits of crossing made him keep these paragraphs firmly in his heart. And then in order to welcome the arrival of this year, he has been preparing for many years in advance...... (To be continued.) )
