Just as Duckburg was in full combat readiness, a messenger returned to Duckburg with news about Scrooge.

The letter was sent back from Cleveland by wireless telegraph using the highest level cipher, so the telegram was not translated. After Dorothea gets the secret message, she must wait for the secrecy in the Duck Castle. The staff of the department translated it.

"Ma'am, this is a translated message." The interpreter handed the translated message to Dorothea.

"Bring a team of guards and rush to the 'Salvation' hospital as much as possible, I'm fine, don't make a noise. Stay safe on the road. ”

"Quiet?" Dorothea thought, "The news of his assassination will definitely cause an uproar in the market, and then a lot of guys who have long watched the Macdonald consortium keep getting rich will definitely take the opportunity to attack the McDonald consortium, is he trying to ......"

"You guys go and charter the next train car to Cleveland right now. No, it's two cars connected in time. Let Anna take a group of people and set off first. Dorothea thought for a moment and ordered.

……

Although it was an express train, by the time Dorothea arrived in Cleveland, it was already the afternoon of the next day. At the station, Dorothea took someone to a change of car and rushed to the "Salvation" hospital. Just before she was about to board the bulletproof car, Dorothea suddenly remembered something and said to the guards beside her, "Go and buy me some copies of today's newspaper." ”

The guard soon returned, handing several newspapers to Dorothea, who was already sitting in the car.

Dorothea took the newspaper and lowered her head, the first thing that came into her sight was a New York Tribune placed at the top of the stack, all the text on the front page of this newspaper today was a full two sizes larger, and on the masthead there were two words written in oversized bold font: Bombardment Scrooge.

Dorothea took a closer look at the poster. I have to admit that the level of the New York Tribune is really good. In their front-page article, in addition to reporting on Scrooge's attack, they also analyzed in detail the reasons for Scrooge's attack.

"The MacDonald Consortium has a nickname called 'Tentacle Monster', which means that the MacDonald Consortium is like a 'tentacle monster', extending its tentacles to various areas where it may make money. The McDonald consortium also has a nickname, called 'roller', which means that as long as the McDonald consortium enters a certain field, it will expand rapidly in that field, and through various competitive means, it will crush those competitors like a roller. In a sense, the history of the MacDonald's growth is a history of constantly crushing competitors.

If we take steel as an example, before the McDonald consortium entered the steel industry, there were hundreds of steel companies in the United States, but since the establishment of MacDonald Steel, in just a few years, the number of steel companies in the United States has decreased from hundreds to no more than fifteen. Most of these remnant iron and steel enterprises are located in the relatively remote west, and the inconvenience of transportation makes them survive. McDonald Steel alone occupies more than 60 percent of the market share of the entire U.S. steel market, and more than half of the remaining 30 percent of the market is foreign steel companies, and the rest of the other steel companies in the United States can occupy no more than 10 percent of the market share combined. Such a market share makes the pricing power of the entire market completely controlled in the hands of MacDonald Steel, and the free competition that existed in the steel market is dead, and it is now impossible for anyone to enter this market freely, because there is a gluttonous beast in this market.

Another example is oil, if you pay attention to the share of Standard Oil in the oil industry, you will find that this is another MacDonald steel, in the oil industry, Standard Oil is also a roller that can crush other people's dreams of making a fortune in this field. It has the most critical patents, the most advanced refining equipment, and the most stable supply of crude oil -- the ten largest oil fields in the United States, all of which are MacDonald's industries. Just as the largest iron ore mine in the United States belongs to the MacDonald family.

In fact, we are not only these, we are thinking about it, electrical, pharmaceutical, munitions, as long as there are 'tentacle monsters' interfering in the industry, it will expel other people and crush their dreams of making a fortune like a road roller. For most entrepreneurs, the name MacDonald has become their worst nightmare. Even the entrepreneurs who have no competition with the MacDonald consortium for the time being, when they pray to God every night, say, 'Thank you, merciful Lord, that you did not let MacDonald's tentacles into the industry I am engaged in. And when they are gambling with others, they will say, 'If I lie to you, let the McDonald consortium enter the ** industry tomorrow!'" ’

Although Mr. Scrooge MacDonald was a good man in society, a rare philanthropist. He has helped many people, and he can't say enough good things. But we must also admit that Mr. Scrooge MacDonald has also crushed many people's dreams, and has even become the deepest nightmare for many people who are dreaming of getting rich. So, we can say that as many people praise Mr. MacDonald, there are as many people who grit their teeth and curse him. So it is not surprising that Mr. Scrooge MacDonald would be assassinated in a very normal way, on the contrary, it is honestly surprising that the assassination of Mr. Scrooge MacDonald has not happened until now.

Not to mention the assassination of Mr. Scrooge MacDonald, which is another very tempting affair. The growth of the MacDonald consortium is inseparable from the genius leadership of Mr. Scrooge MacDonald. He is the brain of the entire MacDonald consortium, the headquarters of the McDonald consortium. To shell Scrooge is to shell the headquarters of the MacDonald consortium. Once he is gone, there is no one in the MacDonald consortium who can replace him, at least not for now. The great Caesar also had a godson named Octavian, but the MacDonalds did not have Octavian. No matter how good the rest of the MacDonald family is, the most they can do is to keep the situation going, and those who worry all day about seeing the Macdonald Consortium enter their own business in the financial news early tomorrow morning can rest assured. Moreover, if Mr. Scrooge MacDonald can be killed, and in fact no one in the MacDonald family is capable of ruling such a large empire, then it is more likely that the vast empire will collapse in an extreme period of time, as was the case after the death of the great King Alexander. The generals have torn the earth one after another, and foreign enemies have also taken the opportunity to invade. In the end, there will be nothing left except a legend that has been passed down through history. Now, with the assassination of Mr. Scrooge MacDonald and the unknown fate of the MacDonald Foundation, the MacDonald Consortium is facing an existential crisis. They go from being the most fearsome predators to prey at once, and their former friends may all turn into jackals who want to drink their blood. ”

"Humph! They think well. Dorothea's lips showed a sneer. If Scrooge had indeed been assassinated, the MacDonald consortium would probably have been doomed. In the long run, Dorothea and her family may have to throw out a lot of industries, withdraw from many fields, and then rely on the gold in the underground vault to wait for the children to grow up. But now, Scrooge is nothing serious, and those guys are probably going to be unlucky. It must have been interesting that the wolves had gathered around what they thought was a harmless big fat sheep or a little white rabbit, but the rabbit suddenly turned into a nineteen-meter-long, twenty-two-ton spinysaurus from prehistoric times.

As Dorothea pondered, the car slowly stopped. The bodyguard sitting next to her said, "Madam, we have arrived. ”

Dorothea looked out the window of the car, and it was indeed in the backyard of the "Salvation" hospital.

As she got out of the car, Dorothea saw Dr. Heim, the vice president, come to greet her.

"Doctor, how is my husband doing?" Dorothea asked. Although she knew that Scrooge was not a big problem, she thought about being bombed first. Shelling, followed by shelling. So Dorothea is still very worried about whether Scrooge is injured, how the injury is, whether he has broken his appearance, and whether he will .......

"Madame, please come with me." Dr. Heim didn't say much, but led Dorothea straight into a small building.

"Ma'am, Mr. MacDonald is waiting for you inside." Heim walked to a door and stopped.

Dorothea pushed open the door and went in, and saw that Scrooge was wearing a hospital gown, with Erlang's legs crossed, leaning on the sofa and reading the newspaper.

"Are you alright?" Dorothea asked, walking over to Scrooge.

"It's fine." Scrooge put down the newspaper and showed his face. Dorothea saw that Scrooge's nose was covered with a large piece of gauze, which was particularly funny.

"What's wrong with your nose?"

"I touched it on the table, and it bleed. Nothing is a big deal. Scrooge said with a smile.

"It's not going to be a nose, is it?" Seeing that Scrooge was fine, Dorothea was much more relieved.

"Madame, don't worry. Mr. MacDonald only had some blood in his nose, but there was nothing wrong with the bridge of his nose. "In addition, Mr. MacDonald had a few other contusions and sprains, but they were not a major problem and he recovered in about a week." ”

"Thank you, Dr. Heim." Dorothea said.

"Madame, if there is nothing to do, please allow me to leave for a while." Heim said to Dorothea.

"Ah, please take care of yourself." Dorothea replied.

Dr. Heim turned and walked out, closing the door, and now only Scrooge and Dorothea were left in the room.
