Scrooge had heard about Gardner spending more than half of his day fishing, horseback riding, and frequent clubs. However, Scrooge did not express any dissatisfaction, at least not as dissatisfied as Rockefeller. In Rockefeller's view, this is a typical waste of time and talent.

"Gardner's personal abilities are quite good, maybe he can't catch up with a pervert like you, but he shouldn't be worse than me, definitely better than Clark. He is clear and responsive, and if he is willing to put his mind to the company's business, it will definitely help the company much more than it is now. But he ...... that he had to give himself half a day off every day to do those meaningless and things, which was simply a slow suicide! Rockefeller shook his head and said to Scrooge, looking distressed.

"John, remember that time we were in Warren? Does Draenor eat barbecue there? Scrooge smiled.

"Yes." Rockefeller replied without thinking, "How could I have forgotten that?" ”

"And do you remember Mr. Warren's peculiar spice?"

"That damn old thing! It's a shame that Warren's pervert can eat it! When Rockefeller remembered this, he felt that strange smell immediately came out of his mouth, so he took the water on the table and poured it twice.

It wasn't long ago that Scrooge and Rockefeller had gone to New York to run a business. By the way, I will also visit Volendrano. At that time, Mr. Warren had just returned from hunting and had brought back a wild boar that was instructing his servants to make roasted tenderloin.

"Ah, John, and Scrooge. It's a coincidence that you've arrived. Oh my God, you didn't smell the scent and came here, did you? ”

"Ahh Ahh A gust of wind blew the smell of chili powder into Rockefeller's nose, and Rockefeller sneezed twice so violently that tears were about to flow out.

"You call it scent, too? It's so spicy, how to eat it! Rockefeller said.

"You illiterate hillbilly! This is an Indian pepper brought by my friend who traveled thousands of miles to India, and it smells spicy, but it tastes like you've gone to heaven. But cowards don't dare to eat it. Warren Drano boasted triumphantly, while squinting at Rockefeller and Scrooge, as if I just looked down on you cowards.

At this time, the chef brought a few skewers of tenderloin to the table. Warren Drano picked up a bunch, took a bite, and then closed his eyes as he chewed, and then his face turned red all at once, as if he had drunk two or three bottles of Red Star Erguotou. After a long while, he opened his eyes and said, "Ah, it's like going to heaven!" How about a string? ”

Scrooge hurriedly waved his hand and relied on his underage to sell cute: "My mother said that children can't eat chili peppers." ”

What Indian peppers are, others don't know, but Scrooge knows it very well. It's also called the Indian pepper, and it's one of the hottest peppers in the world. By later standards, the hottest spice is no more than 25oo Squaville, but this Indian ghost pepper can be as hot as 1 million Squaville. Once, as a representative of the Northern Company, Scrooge from the previous life went to Bangladesh, a neighbor of India. At that time, the owner used to give each of them a small jar of pickled this thing. Scrooge took a small sip, well, that taste, and I will never forget it in my life. Seeing that Warren Drano could really eat this thing, Scrooge was really a little impressed.

Rockefeller, who didn't know how powerful he was, didn't want to show weakness, so he picked up a skewer of barbecue and brought it to his mouth......

"At first I didn't feel anything, and then all of a sudden, 'boom', like being hit directly by a cannon of at least 24 pounds on the battlefield, my whole head, and even my whole body exploded, and I was reduced to pieces, and I didn't feel anything, and even my thoughts seemed to be gone, and then after a long time, my soul returned to my body—and until now, my mouth was still on fire—water! Give me water! After rinsing his mouth with almost two tons of water, Rockefeller, who had barely regained his ability to speak, described the taste of the pepper in this way.

"Why are you mentioning this?" Rockefeller asked.

"That Indian pepper, Warren really thinks it's delicious. But do you think it's delicious? ”

"I'm not a pervert, how can I ......"

So, other people's paradise may be hell for you, and vice versa. You think Mr. Gardner is wasting his life, but maybe to him, it's just enjoying life. Scrooge said unhurriedly.

"How is this calculated...... Forget it, I'm not going to talk to you about that. Would you tolerate your employees 'enjoying life' like this? Rockefeller immediately changed his perspective.

"It depends, if I pay him to make a hundred parts a day, and he only makes 9o, then even if he is in the factory all day, I have to let him go or lose his salary. But if he does all the work in the first half of the day, well, then what is he doing in the second half of the day, what does it matter to me? As far as I know, Mr. Gardner has done what would normally be done in a day by an average person in half a day, so what do you have to complain about? ”

"But he could have done better......"

"Yes, you see, we're going back in circles." Scrooge smiled, "Actually, let's think about it, what did you expect from Mr. Clark when he said he was going to bring in a new joint venture to the company?" ”

"Well, if you can come up with money, so that we have the money to enter new fields, don't be too conservative, don't be too bad in terms of ability." Rockefeller said.

"Look, then, what doesn't Mr. Gardner do not meet your requirements? Besides, if he values the company's business as much as you do, well, you think it's nice to have a strengthened version of Mr. Clark in the company, or that he wears the same pants as Mr. Clark for everything. ”

"If he had been like that, he wouldn't have been a strengthened version of Clark, but a weakened version of Scrooge."

"If he were a person like me, then he would be full of control over the company. Do you think you're going to like a guy like that...... Don't talk about me, I basically don't care about Clark Rockefeller, and you're mostly focused on this company, and basically don't care about McDonald's Infantry Weapons business, do you? ”

"I'm going to focus on the McDonald Infantry Weapons Company, and I'm not going to fight you for control. Because I asked myself if I was not as good as you could in these areas. You take the lead and divide more meat. Rockefeller said.

"But what would you think if I put my main focus on the Clark Rockefeller Corporation and compete with you for the baton?" Scrooge asked.

"I don't have to be very opposed, as long as you can prove that you can make money like munitions by buying and selling grain." Rockefeller said with a grin.

"It's strange to believe you! Your guy's control is not ordinarily strong. Scrooge complained in his heart. But he also saw that Rockefeller now had a much smaller opinion of Gardner.

"I just can't get used to this guy's posture of treating the company's affairs as a side hustle, especially when I'm busy every day, and I get angry when I see a guy who is idle. Actually, there's nothing too bad about this guy like this. Rockefeller added.

"I understand, you just envy, jealousy, and hate." Scrooge smiled.

But Scrooge knew that Mr. Gardner wasn't really an idle playboy. For this joint venture who was also introduced by Clark in the original history, it also left a mark in history. He should be the first partner in history to be kicked out of the company by Rockefeller. And he was also the only joint venture person who was willingly kicked out of the company by Rockefeller -- at that time, Rockefeller saw through that this guy's ambition was not in running a business at all, but in politics, so he desperately encouraged him to enter politics, and expressed his willingness to buy his shares at a high price, so that he could have money to run for election or something. So Gardner really sold his shares and withdrew. Mr. Gardner later became mayor of Cleveland and was later elected to Congress, though Scrooge could not remember whether he was a senator or a representative.

……

"Many old members of the Whig Party have joined the Republican Party, Gardner, you are also an old Party member, are you interested in joining our Republican Party?" A tall man on a horse asked Gardner.

"You're talking about the Republican Party that Mr. Lincoln is organizing. I noticed this new party. Gardner loosened the reins and let his horse walk slowly on the grass.

"I think this party has a lot to offer." The tall man said, "The members of the Republican Party are staunch abolitionists, so that the mainstream forces that were originally part of the Whig Party will unite under this banner." At the same time, Mr. Lincoln was a politician who knew how to measure, was good at coordination, and at the same time had a clear position and a strong will. The Democrats were able to win this election because of a split in the Whig Party, and if the Whig Party was united by those who were staunchly opposed to slavery, we would surely win four years later. ”

"What does Mr. Lincoln think of the contradictions with the South?" Gardner asked.

"Mr. Lincoln believed that slavery in the South could not continue in any way, and that the whole of America could not be accommodated at the expense of the whole of America in response to the opposition of the South. At the same time, however, Mr. Lincoln stressed that the conflict between the North and the South should be resolved through consultation, and not by other means. The man replied.

"Ah, this one is very interesting. As you may know, I recently took a stake in a grain company. In addition, my personal expenses have always been small, so financially, I can only provide limited help to the Republican Party. But, recently I got to know a very interesting guy, well, have you heard of that kid boss of the McDonald Infantry Weapons Company? He might also be interested in these Republican ideas......"
