Chapter 1 Jin Kela! Kim K-la!
February 1, 1866,
United States of America
Texas
Austin
Next to the State Government:
"Hero Fertilizer - Jin Kela!"
"No loss, no evaporation, zero waste!"
"Jinkela fertilizer can absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium up to two meters or less!"
"Jin Ke La fertilizer, one bag can be used as two bags to sprinkle!"
"Texas needs Kimkora! This is our Texans' own fertilizer! ”
Looking at the saleswomen who were scratching their heads on the stage and posing to sell the fertilizer, Tom Smith, sitting in the office of the governor of the state government not far away, suddenly wondered if this marketing strategy would be criticized by some gender rights groups in the future.
It doesn't matter, this is Texas, the stronghold of American conservatives!
"Mr. Smith, the hero company you created has become our No. 1 tax-paying company in Texas in just over half a year."
"Governor Hamilton, I really love Texas, Texas is my hometown! I won't evade taxes like those foreign companies and selfish farmers. ”
"Yes! Hero Company is really our Texas hero! ”
"No, no, no, every Texan is a hero of Texas!"
"Cheers! For the heroes of Texas! ”
"Cheers! For the heroes of Texas! ”
Andrew Hamilton became governor of Texas on June 17, 1865, and in just six months, Hero Company has become the largest tax-paying corporation in Texas, accounting for more than 60 percent of the state's total revenue.
No way, compared to the state companies that evade taxes and the local big farmers who are armed to resist taxes, the hero companies that take the initiative to pay taxes are simply the real "heroes" of the state government!
And who is Tom Smith, the creator of this hero company?
He was a third-year chemical engineering student who crossed over here on April 1, 1865.
Tom, who has been in this world for more than half a year, relied on the knowledge of his previous life as a third-year student majoring in chemical engineering, and succeeded in synthesizing a large number of scientific and technological products that only later generations could only be found in the middle of the nineteenth century, when chemistry was still entangled with alchemy in the eyes of ordinary people.
Tom founded Hero Inc. and filed a large number of patents.
Petroleum and coal production, chemical fertilizer, chemical synthesis of drugs are now the main industries of Hero Company, and it is also the pillar industry of Hero Company.
Relying on his knowledge of chemistry ahead of his time, Tom earned millions of dollars in six months.
It's an age when workers earn less than a dollar a day, and Tom is already a millionaire!
Today is the day Tom began selling his Hero Agriculture's first petroleum-based fertilizer, the "Golden Fertilizer".
In order to see if the sales tactics he had learned from later generations would be useful, Tom also made a special trip from his hometown of Houston to Austin City.
"Buy Jinkela fertilizer and give away a new drug from Hero Pharmaceutical Company - aspirin!"
"Give me ten bags of a hundred pounds of gold!"
"I want twenty bags!"
"I want five bags!"
Instead of going directly to all the farms to sell the gold, Tom did an advertisement next to the city hall in Austin, the capital of Texas, and Tom only planned to sell it until the end of February, before the spring ploughing began, so that the farmers who didn't buy the gold would know at the time of the fall harvest that there was a gap in gold.
Most of the people who come here to buy gold are small farmers, most of these small farms are family-owned farms, and the whole family works on the farms.
Unlike large farmers who owned large numbers of slaves, small farmers did not have a stable source of farm fertilizer and could not afford to buy fertilizer imported from Europe.
Tom's gold is different, the low price, Texans' local products, and Texans' own "Texan feelings" are all extremely attractive to small Texan farmers.
On top of that, if you buy Hero Corporation's Jin Kela, you can give away a small amount of aspirin and other chemical synthetic drugs.
Driven by Tom's "childcare", Kim was "sold out" at 3 p.m. If you want to buy it, you need to wait until the next day.
Sitting in the governor's office and drinking Texas gin with the governor, Tom looked out the window at the girls braving the low temperature of eleven or twelve degrees but wearing Tom's bikinis and dumping gold and fertilizer, Tom suddenly felt that the world was really interesting, and from different angles, the world was really completely different!
While Tom was admiring the beautiful girls, a strong man six feet tall and weighing two hundred pounds walked into the governor's office, and if you looked closely, you would find that his left hand had only three complete fingers, and his ring finger and little finger were all mutilated.
The strong man walked up to Tom and bent down to whisper a few words in Tom's ear, and Tom listened to every word of the strong man without any waves.
"Governor Hamilton, I'm sorry, it looks like I need to go back to Houston first, we'll see you next time?"
"Mr. Smith, what do you say, what's so sorry, your busy work is good news for all Texans!"
"Cheers! For the people of Texas! ”
"Cheers! For the people of Texas! ”
Tom walked out of the governor's office with the strong man, and shortly after Tom walked out of the office, Andrew Hamilton angrily threw his wine glass on the ground.
"It's just a hairy boy under the age of sixteen, what's so arrogant! Still drinking this cheap American gin, what kind of cheap person do you think of me? Come and drink with me, at least it must be British dry gold! ”
Andrew was a traditional Texan, and an American, and in this era, these American "elites" were the most despised for "American goods."
Tom, who walked out of the governor's office, was talking and laughing with the strong man next to him in the corridor.
"This governor is such a fool, I paid taxes to him to let him do transportation and education, and as a result, the whole Texas except Austin and Houston is still a mess, a fool!"
"Mr. Smith, we haven't gotten out of the state yet, so be careful."
"John, how many times have I told you, just call me Tom, you are my fifth-degree cousin! As for paying attention to talking? ”
Tom took a cigar out of his hand and put it in his mouth, interrupting John, who was about to light a cigarette, and waved it instead.
Several "passing" state government workers walked directly to Tom and lit a cigar for him.
"Did he think his governorship was made by vote? It's hilarious, it's on the dollars of our hero company! ”
"By the way, don't order it, I'm not a smoker, for the sake of my health."
Tom, who had hailed three or four staff members, took the cigars from his mouth, took out a few cigars, and handed out two or three cigars and a few hundred dollars from the latest Texas State Bank to each of the staff members.
Tom really doesn't smoke and carries a cigar with him just to conform to the "social rules" of the United States.
"Next time someone becomes the governor, the company will also prepare a second set of ledgers, and our hero company will do its own education and transportation in Texas."
"These politicians really can't be fed with any amount of money! It's quite American! ”
Tom looked at the new dollars issued by the state bank in his hand.
"I really want to be the Federal Reserve! That's what lies down and makes money, and the whole world works for me! ”
