John 61 Rockefeller was a man of decisive action, and this was evident when he was only sixteen years old. As soon as he arrived at the school, he went through the withdrawal procedures and left the school. After school ended, as soon as Scrooge arrived home on the front foot, John 61 Rockefeller came to the door.

"Scrooge, I've signed up for the business school, and I'm going there next Monday, two days later. Thank you very much for the help you have given me. But let's get down to business. By noon, Uncle Joseph and I had already signed the contract. Right now...... Well, let's make up for the days you were sick. I've already inquired about the past few days since you were sick. Well, I haven't taught, so I'll tell you about it. Before it's dark, take the book out. ”

In fact, John 61 Rockefeller was indeed not a good teacher, and Scrooge could clearly feel that although he had a good grasp of some knowledge, he was really not good at explaining, and many times he was a little out of words. Fortunately, this knowledge, especially mathematics and the like, is pediatric for Scrooge. In addition, unlike in school, Scrooge was not willing to hide his strengths in this area too much in front of Rockefeller, and he felt that if he showed some talent in these aspects, Rockefeller would have a higher chance of accepting him as a partner when starting a business in the future. So Rockefeller was soon stunned by Scrooge's mathematical talent.

"Scrooge, have you done this practice before?" Rockefeller's eyes widened as he watched Scrooge write the answer directly to the question with just a glance at the question.

"No, I haven't done it." Scrooge replied without raising his head, and began to list the equations on the paper to begin the calculation.

Rockefeller looked at the equations that Scrooge had written on the paper, and found that these equations were the same calculations for the question to which Scrooge had written the answer directly.

"Don't you already have the answer? Why do you want to do this? John 61 Rockefeller asked puzzled.

"Ah, John, you know, I just did mental arithmetic, and mental arithmetic is not as reliable as pen arithmetic. While I'm sure I'm right, it's also necessary to do a written math to avoid a lot of mistakes...... Ah, you see, the calculation is complete, and I am not wrong. Scrooge replied calmly, as if it had been his habit all along.

As expected, Scrooge's serious and rigorous attitude shocked John 61 Rockefeller even more than he had previously reported the answer in one go.

"Scrooge, you're right. In everything you do, you must have such a serious spirit. If a person has such a spirit, he will definitely be able to achieve success. Today you are actually my teacher, thank you, I will remember this spirit. John 61 Rockefeller looked into Scrooge's eyes very seriously and said.

Scrooge was a little embarrassed by John 61 Rockefeller's staring, and quickly said, "John, we have other subjects, such as Chinese ......."

The so-called language actually refers to English. Scrooge's English was good in his last life, and then he studied in the United States for a while, and his middle school English was not a problem for him, but the trick is that it is now the eighteenth century, and the difference between English, especially written language, and the twenty-first century is really not small, and the difference is like, well, just like classical Chinese and vernacular. Therefore, the current middle school English is really something that Scrooge needs to learn seriously.

However, John 61 Rockefeller's language proficiency was more limited than his mathematical proficiency, and it was even more difficult to teach Scrooge.

"John, your language will be strengthened." When it was almost dark, Scrooge closed the book and said to John 61 Rockefeller, "If you are going to do a reckoning in the future, then your current language level and expression skills are sufficient, but if you want to go further and start your own business, better expression skills are very important." ”

"Yes," John 61 Rockefeller nodded with deep understanding, "I didn't think it was a problem before, but now that I've helped you make up for it, I think it's really a problem." Scrooge, is there anything you can do not have? ”

"I'd like to read it......," Scrooge thought for a moment, "it's not easy to read more books, it's not cheap, well, it might be a good idea to go to church and see the priests preach, talk to them, and learn from them." ”

"It's such a good idea, I go to church every week and don't notice. Maybe I'll pay more attention in the future. John 61 Rockefeller stood up and said, "Tomorrow is Sunday, and I can't wait to go to church." Scrooge, let's go together tomorrow. You just didn't die, and you should go to church and thank God. ”

Scrooge knew that Rockefeller had always been a devout "Baptist" believer, at least on the surface. Although some of the things that Rockefeller did were completely different from the teachings of Jesus, at least, it seems that Mr. Rockefeller has always been a devout believer, especially after making a fortune, and even more so through his incessant charitable activities, which eventually made most people forget how he used deception and violence to deal with his peers and swallow up their estates; It also makes them forget how he raised a private army and shot directly at the striking workers. Even a hundred years later, he actually became a representative of the great good man, portrayed by countless media as a pious and generous good man, and who would have thought that he was nothing more than taking a small part of the money snatched from people's pockets and making some "packaging". This really reminds Scrooge of Balzac's famous quote in "The Old Man": "Everyone is born like this, as fishy as the kitchen." If you want to get oil and water, you can't be afraid of getting your hands dirty, as long as you wash them afterwards, all the morality of our time is nothing more! ”

However, Monsieur Voltron still did not really see through this society at that time, although the demonic figure created by Monsieur Balzac was very close to the reality of the world, he was so powerful, so shrewd and ruthless, in terms of ability, determination, and courage, he far surpassed his disciples such as Rastigne, but he still continued to fail, and his students soared one by one, but he always failed until he climbed to the position of the head of a secret police very late. Why is that?

In his previous life, Scrooge had discussed this issue with his friends, and in the end, they had come up with the result that Voltron was so proud that he was too hesitant to salute good on behalf of evil. Or to put it more clearly, he doesn't want to be too hypocritical, he doesn't want to hide his evil. He thought he could wash his hands after he had scooped up enough oil and water, but he didn't understand that in the big kitchen of the world, people who want to climb up must not only constantly "do dirty work" and "dirty hands", but also constantly wash their hands, so that it looks so white and fragrant at all times.

Rockefeller, by contrast, was much more sophisticated, and from the moment he decided to fight the world, he probably understood how important hypocrisy was.

"Okay, let's go together." Scrooge replied, "I should do something for the church to show my gratitude to God." ”

The "Baptist" was the lower part of Protestantism, and its adherents were more devout and fanatical than other church organizations, and its clergy class was more incorruptible. Of course, it also has more rules, such as not smoking, not drinking, not messing with women or whatever. In general, at least for now, this sect has a good reputation. It's a great way to get in and wash your hands at all times.

The next day was Sunday, and Scrooge and John 61 Rockefeller spent almost the whole day in the church, helping the pastors clean the church, and Scrooge told each of the believers who came how he had survived and how grateful he was to God. When the pastor is preaching, listen attentively to the pastor's sermon and carefully observe their language, intonation, expressions, and body movements. And when it was not over, they all volunteered to stay, help the pastors tidy up the church, and humbly asked the pastor for advice on some "soul" issues.

By the time the qiē ended, it was already evening. After that, almost every week, Scrooge and John 61 Rockefeller would come to church and repeat the routine. Gradually, the believers in the neighborhood got to know the two young men, and many times, they greeted them with a smile and praised their piety.

John 61 Rockefeller had already begun his studies in business school, and he studied his knowledge seriously every day, and then came back to teach Scrooge what he had learned before it was dark. And Scrooge's performance when learning this knowledge once again shocked John 61 Rockefeller. With a solid foundation in mathematics, Scrooge was able to quickly grasp the bookkeeping techniques and accounting handling that John 61 Rockefeller thought were complex. Many things that John 61 Rockefeller studied for a long time to understand, but Scrooge was able to figure it out in almost the blink of an eye, and even some things that John 61 Rockefeller himself did not fully understand, Scrooge looked at his textbook, and then looked at his notes, and immediately understood, and even taught John 61 Rockefeller in turn. This surprised John 61 Rockefeller and was a little ashamed, which naturally prompted him to make up his mind to work harder.

In fact, some of John 61 Rockefeller's expressions also amazed Scrooge. If nothing else, as far as John 61 Rockefeller's notes are concerned, their details make Scrooge ashamed. John 61 Rockefeller recorded almost every word that the teacher in the business school said in class, and looking at his notes was almost like going to a class with him.
