"John, you know, our family may be a little more prosperous than yours, after all, our family is my father and my eldest brother who are making money. However, $4o is not a small number for us either. I personally don't have that much money and can only turn to my parents for help. I don't know how much they'll be able to come up with, but I'll try to convince them as much as I can. But, John, you have to tell me first, if you get this money and finish your business school, how are you going to pay it back? Scrooge said.

"Scrooge, you've really changed a lot, and you're thinking about so many questions. I couldn't think about so many things when I was your age. "John? Rockefeller said, "In the future, if I want to be my own boss and start a company, I will definitely find you as a partner." I've already done my research, and now there are a lot of new companies that are opening up, and the rest of the staff are relatively easy to find. However, there is a relative shortage of bookkeepers, so if I finish my business school, it will not be a big problem for me to find a job. Today, a person who has mastered basic bookkeeping skills will generally be paid between $5 and $6 a month for the first year. I spend less than $2 a month, so it only takes me a little over a year to pay off my debts. ”

"Sounds good." Scrooge said, "I think I was convinced by you." I will convince my parents of the ......"

At this time, the middle school had already appeared not far in front of them. The two of them walked through the school gate and walked all the way to the classroom of Scrooge's class. Rockefeller handed Scrooge the bag he had been helping Scrooge carry: "Okay, it's here." Oh, by the way, I haven't told anyone about this for the time being, so you can keep it a secret for me......"

Scrooge nodded, and walked into the classroom. At this time, there were already some people in the classroom, but the teacher had not yet come. As soon as I saw Scrooge come in, the classroom immediately became lively.

"Hey, Scrooge! I heard that you idiot fell from a tree? A boy with some small red freckles on his nose yelled first.

"Scrooge, it seems that your leather is really strong!" A light-haired boy reached out and pinched Scrooge's face, saying, "Look, it's thick!" ”

"Stop, Tom!" A small boy stood up, "Even the patient is bullied, it's really useless!" ”

The light-haired kid named Tom looked at the little man, pouted for a moment, and said, "Carter, you really don't understand any humor, I'm just joking with Scrooge, no malice." ”

"You're bullying Shi Gao for healing!" The little man named Carter said coldly, "And you, Rom, you are too, a bully of the sick!" ”

"I don't bother with a guy like you who doesn't have a sense of humor!" The freckle-spotted child sat down in a huff.

The little man looked at Scrooge again and said, "Scrooge, I heard that you broke your head, and I can't remember some things." Is that so? ”

"Yes." Scrooge replied.

"Do you remember where you sit? Remember what we called? Carter then asked.

Scrooge shook his head.

"Don't remember anything?" Carter shook his head, "Do you remember how to do those damn math problems?" ”

"I should remember this." Considering that there are no damn Olympiads in this era. Therefore, Scrooge is still very confident in doing middle school math problems in this era.

"That's great!" Carter smiled, "Hurry up and make up for what you didn't learn - it's up to you for the final exam in a month!" …… Alright, brothers, now, I'll give each of you three minutes to introduce ourselves to our Scrooge. Well, let's start with me! ”

"My name is Carter, and I have a strange ailment, which is that I don't feel pain." Carter began to introduce himself, "My greatest strength is that I have a lot of strength and can fight. Except for physical education, my grades in all subjects were not very good, at most I just passed. I've been dating for a long time and I know that I'm a very good person to deal with. ”

After Carter had introduced himself, he looked around the room and said, "Tom, then you!" ”

"Well, my name is Tom, and we're old friends. I like to joke about it sometimes, but as you know, I don't mean anything. Well, the final exam is up to you! ”

"Jessica, then you're ......"

"My name is Jessica and my dad is ......"

Maybe there weren't many people studying at that time, and although 66 people kept coming, the total number of students was not much. So this self-introduction ended just before the class.

The first lesson was the math that Scrooge was best at. As expected, the middle school mathematics of this era is really very simple compared to the current Scrooge, so simple that Scrooge only needs to glance at it to report the answer directly. Such a class would inevitably be distracted, and Scrooge held his cheek with one hand and made the appearance of looking at the blackboard, but he began to think about his future path.

"The Civil War seems to be about to explode, right? If you remember correctly, it seems that it was around 1861. War is definitely a good opportunity to make money, think about what ways you can make money? First, it was speculation, and if memory serves, wasn't Morgan's first ill-gotten gain made by reselling gold during the Civil War? But...... Forget it, I'm not like Morgan, what kind of society* is there, I can always be the first to know all kinds of inside information, go to Wall Street to play speculation, I'm afraid I don't know how I died. Or is it reliable from industry......

…… Oil should be a good deal. At the beginning of the Civil War, there was no agriculture in the South, there was no lamp oil for lighting in the cities, all ships were used for war, and whaling ships were no exception, so the blubber used for lubricating oil was also gone, and almost all of this had to be solved by the extraction and refining of oil. Rockefeller is relying on this family, hugging his thighs tightly, he should be able to get a little light, but Rockefeller this guy ...... It seems that what he has been best at in history is kicking partners out of the company, right? Even if you are a traverser, you can't guarantee that there won't be a day...... Why don't you just build a weapon? Before he crossed over, he was an engineer in North Industries, although the main research project before he crossed looked a little too far ahead in the current era, but he was still very familiar with firearms and something, as a side business to cheat foreigners, what bolt-action sniper rifles, pump-action shotguns, various automatic rifles, machine guns, and various copycat versions of automatic pistols and revolvers, he was still quite familiar, as long as he had the first start-up capital, it was not impossible to knock these things out, I just don't know what the level of materials in this era was, but considering that it didn't take long, it seems that in 1866, the Germans created the Mauser rifle and completed the leap from modern rifles to modern rifles. In this way, even if it is difficult to create an automatic rifle, it is still possible to build an old-fashioned Mauser, well, even the old-fashioned Mauser 1871 is much stronger than the breech guns used by the Americans in the Civil War......

However, it seems that breech guns have always been rejected by some old stereotypes, and I remember that in Europe, a certain big man even claimed that he would rather lose the war than use a "non-man" weapon like a breech gun, and of course, it could be that these old antiques took money from the merchants who made breech guns. If it is the latter, I am afraid that I will encounter such a problem in the United States. If we don't solve it, we can't make money from war effectively...... Or, after this thing is made, sell it to the southerners first, as long as the southerners can use these things to beat the northerners, the north will definitely buy it in large quantities, there is a saying? 'Arms dealers who do not sell weapons to attack their own homeland are not real arms dealers'? Well, you have to let the Yankees bleed enough blood first, and then let the Yankees bleed more, and then there will be a chance to ......"

"Scrooge, you answer this question...... Scrooge! Scrooge! What are you doing! Just as Scrooge was thinking about being ferocious, a voice rang in his ears.

Math teacher Rodriguez was standing next to Scrooge, in fact, because Scrooge had been staring at the blackboard, Mr. Rodriguez was not able to immediately show Scrooge's distraction, he came up with a slightly difficult problem on the blackboard, and randomly clicked a few students, but they couldn't answer stupidly, so Mr. Rodriguez habitually called Scrooge's name. This call, Mr. Rodriguez appeared, and Scrooge was distracted.

"Ah, I, I'm thinking." Scrooge was taken aback.

Mr. Rodriguez's attitude softened, because he knew that Scrooge's head had just fallen, and it seemed that there was a problem with his memory, and that he had missed so many classes, and that he might not be able to answer such a question immediately. His anger just now was actually just a habitual gesture - in the face of those little bastards, he was not accustomed to putting on an angry look, and he simply couldn't suppress those guys.

"Oh, Scrooge, do you understand today?" Teacher Rodriguez said gently.

"Well, it's okay." Scrooge said.

"Will you be able to do the questions on the blackboard?"

"Ah, the question on the blackboard?" Scrooge hurriedly glanced at the blackboard, on which was a very common application problem about degree, distance, and time, and it was only difficult to reach the Celestial Empire in later generations.

"An hour and 15 minutes." Scrooge came up with an answer almost instantly, but instead of giving the answer, he shook his head—now, he didn't want to be too special.

"Well, that's nothing, Scrooge, after all, you've missed a lot of classes. Sit down and listen well. Teacher Rodriguez said.

…… The first day of class passed without a shock, and unlike ordinary travelers, Scrooge was very mediocre and didn't do anything to stun his friends. Because Scrooge knew that it was not interesting, his stage was not here, it was only five and a half years before the Civil War, and he didn't have much time to waste in such a school, maybe he should drop out of school and start a business like Rockefeller.
