Scrooge stayed in New York for three days to wait for the Clipper Express to prepare for sailing. Compared to the legendary clipper ship such as the "Grand Republic", which is more than 3,000 tons, the Express is a smaller ship, it has a displacement of only about 1ooo tons, and it is a slender and beautiful luxury high passenger ship, and when downwind, the ship has even run at a height of about 19 knots. At the time, it was the fastest way to get to Europe.

Of course, the two days of waiting in New York will be very busy, although Scrooge and Morgan, as well as Joshua have reached an agreement before, basically completed the distribution of benefits, and the majority of the money has been resolved, but in these two days, there are still many people, including the former partner Warrendrano, have also come to the door, hoping to get a piece of the sulfonamide pie. It's just that at this time, the interests of sulfonamides in the North American Big 6 have basically been carved up, and as for the interests in Europe, it is not something that these people can eat. So, most of these guys are disappointed. Only Warren Drano obtained from Scrooge the right to sell the drug in China, not a monopoly, of course. However, Scrooge was still very skeptical about how much sulfonamides he could sell in China at that time, because as far as he knew, at that time, Chinese still believed in Chinese medicine, which seemed similar to witchcraft in the West. Although the patients of this era are regarded as Autobots or Decepticons, Western medicine that believes in oil to cure all diseases is actually not much better, and the distance between it and witchcraft is not much farther than that of Chinese medicine where "reeds have to be frosted for three years, and crickets are to be original". Even in the thirties of the twentieth century, after Western medicine had made a series of great breakthroughs, according to the descriptions in some literary works, many Chinese still preferred to die rather than see Western medicine. (Refer to "Spring and Autumn of the Family")

In addition to these businessmen who are trying to get a piece of the pie, there are also some experts from various universities in New York who have also visited. Scrooge welcomed their visit, because Scrooge's plan was for his companies to be the face of high technology for a long time. Strictly speaking, there is only one way to achieve high profits, and that is to reduce the proportion of wages in the income distribution. There are many ways to deform. The simplest is to directly reduce the number of wages, or to reduce the number of wages in disguise, the former is like the former boss of the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company, Struo, who directly cuts wages, and the latter is to cut wages by extending working hours. For example, in the past, when you worked 1o hours a day, the boss gave you 72 cents, but now the boss extends the working hours to 16 hours and "increases" the salary to 8o cents a day.

Another method, which Scrooge intends to adopt, is to rely on "high technology" to allow his company to obtain several times the income of other enterprises while the investment and time are comparable to those of ordinary enterprises. As a result, although workers in Scrooge's companies were paid more per hour than in other companies, the total wages as a percentage of income distribution were lower than in sweatshops. This is the path Scrooge will take, not only to reap more profits, but also to deceive a benevolent good reputation, which is very useful in many cases.

And to take this path, Scrooge has an innate advantage. Although before the crossing, the doctor walked all over the street and the turtle was like a dog, a homegrown stupid doctor was nothing, but in this era, let alone a stupid doctor, even a random bachelor of science and engineering can also stick a broom behind the butt and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. What's more, Scrooge knows the general direction of the technology exhibition well, which means that what others also need to put in a lot of input, countless failures, and spend a lot of money to complete will be much easier and smoother here at Scrooge.

However, no matter how capable Scrooge is, he is also a person, and it is absolutely unthinkable to build a high-tech monopoly empire without enough technical talents. Therefore, Scrooge attaches great importance to dealing with the academic community and those academic tyrants. In talks with the presidents of several other American universities, along with President Charles of Harvard, Scrooge proposed a plan that was unanimously supported by them. He said he was willing to set up a fund to encourage scientific research. Well, this plan is called the Mississippi Project. It is used to reward scholars around the world who have achieved great things in a variety of basic disciplines. The universities in the U.S. will form a joint jury to determine who is eligible to win the award.

This suggestion is obviously extremely beneficial to those universities in the United States, and being able to serve as a judge for such an award is very good for the reputation of each university, so it was unanimously agreed by the participants.

"Anyway, I already plan to make Nobel the king of explosives at the right time, so it would be good to simply turn the 'Nobel' Prize into the 'MacDonald Prize'. At least the 'sulfonamide prize' sounds better than the 'dynamite prize'. Scrooge thought.

After three busy days, and the clipper was about to set sail, Scrooge boarded the small ship with some of his retinue, stood on the deck, and waved to the new friends from the various universities who were seeing off on the shore. It wasn't until the boat left the dock that it became smaller and smaller before turning away.

"Boss. It's windy at sea, do you want to go into the cabin and take a break? One of the guards said to Scrooge.

"Oh, not busy. The last time Carroll wrote to me, the voyage at sea was particularly boring, and looking at the endless sea can make people crazy. But why don't I feel that way? Scrooge didn't look back, just silently looked at the deep blue sea in the distance. At this time, a burst of laughter reached his ears.

"Oh my God! Miss Dorothea, don't go to the fence, it's dangerous! Young Master Roy, you're going to take care of your sister for me, God......" The exclamation of a housekeeper reached Scrooge's ears. Scrooge turned his head and saw a (let me use this measure word once, it can be regarded as a tribute to Lori's discussion of Jing Keshou) about eleven or twelve years old Jin Xiao Lori was giggling and running along the deck, looking back and smiling as she ran. A chubby aunt was anxiously following. Behind her was a young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, shaking his head and following behind.

"Lady Stephen, Dorothea sees the sea for the first time, so let her be happy." The young man followed unhurriedly, "Father asked her to come up and also meant to make her happy and happy." ”

"How's that going to work!" The housekeeper panted and said, her face flushed, I don't know if it was because of exercise or because of annoyance, "A lady, always pay attention to her image, even if it is in a place where no one is around, Mr. Odd asked her to come out to see the sea, but he didn't let her ...... like this"

The butler was only concerned with refuting the young man's fallacy, but did not notice that there was a cable across the deck beneath her feet, and with a scream, the fat butler fell straight and straight on the teak deck with a muffled thud. And the little Lori also turned her head to look while running, but there was a burst of garlic under her feet, and she stumbled towards Scrooge.

Seeing a little Lori crashing towards him, Scrooge naturally wanted to open his arms and hug her. Well,You can control Lori casually.,But you won't be controlled by Lori.,This can be regarded as one of the benefits brought by the young age after the crossing.。 However, just when Jin Lori, who was soft and easy to fall into the clear voice, crashed into Scrooge's arms by herself, a hand reached over from the side and held the little Lori.

Scrooge looked at it and saw that it was the guard Pluto who was holding the little Lori by her side.

"Hey! You guy, what kind of mess are you jumping out of here at this time! Scrooge was almost about to scream. Fortunately, the hypocritical instinct accumulated over the years kept him from showing any wrong expression on his face.

"Ah, thank you, uncle!" After the little Lori stood firmly, she immediately stroked her skirt, then lifted the corner of her skirt, lowered her head slightly, and curtsy to Pluto in all directions.

At this time, the housekeeper who had fallen down had already stolen the bell with lightning speed, and with a flexibility and degree that was not commensurate with his figure, she suddenly got up from the deck and appeared beside Xiao Lori. That swiftness and agility reminded Scrooge of Fat or the chubby Gascoigne earlier.

"Miss Dorothea, look at you...... I will sue Mr. Sù Odd about this qiē originally. Then she turned to Pluto and said, "Thank you, sir, for Dorothea would have fallen into the sea." ”

"No, ma'am." Pluto replied honestly, "The railings of the ship are high, and the rope nets are soft and strong, and this lady will not be able to do anything if she hits the railing." ”

"Thank you anyway." The housekeeper said, "You're also traveling to Europe?" She looked at Scrooge again, and then said, "This is your son, right?" What a handsome young man...... Dorothea, look at it, this little brother is much more obedient than you......"

The last half of the sentence not only made Scrooge scorched, but also made Pluto panic, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to pretend to be the boss's father in front of the boss. He hurriedly explained:

"Are you mistaken, this gentleman is my employer, Scrooge? Mr. MacDonald, I'm just ......"

"What? Are you Scrooge? Mr. MacDonald? Is it the same Scrooge who wrote "The Causes of Some Infectious Diseases and the Study of the Therapeutic Effect of Certain Chemicals on Them"? Mr. MacDonald? I've heard that you're on this ship, are you going to Europe to give lectures? My name is Roy, Roy? Odeh, a Mississipian, was going to Europe to study. I love chemistry, do I have a few questions I can ask you? The young man who had just arrived asked aloud, his eyes shining brightly, and his hands and feet seemed to know where to put them.

Fortunately, at this time, the appearance of another boat eased his embarrassment. It was a slender fast cruiser belonging to the British Royal Navy, and it approached the front of the "Fast" and, with a graceful turn, turned to the same course as the "Fast". At the same time, a flag came from the warship: "Royal Navy Cruiser Danger to the conqueror of disease, Scrooge?" Greetings to Mr. MacDonald! ”
