More than a year ago, from Hannah's letters, Tom had already found signs that the people of this era were going to crack all the products of Hero Company.

It's not something that Tom can control, the Yankees and the Europeans have long gone crazy, these madmen buy all the raw materials used by Hero in large quantities, and let Hannah and other most advanced chemical scientists of this era go to experiments regardless of the cost, and use a lot of experiments to speculate how to produce Hero series products.

The effect of the product was also used by a large number of "volunteers" to experiment at the first time.

Drug experiments will even actively create "suitable" "sick volunteers".

Several chemical products extracted directly from plants were the first to be cracked by the Yankees, and the Europeans were not to be outdone, and they cracked the production methods of some Hero Company's products.

Tom also used these "indigenous" ideas to improve the craftsmanship of many hero companies, so that some of the production lines of hero companies were more suitable for the backward industrial level of this era.

In any case, Hero's "unique technology" began to be cracked, and Hero's technological leadership in the chemical industry was also in jeopardy.

Chemical fertilizers, cement, steelmaking and other chemical technologies in this timeline have all begun to develop rapidly under the "fan" of Tom's little butterfly.

A "hero" who was far ahead began to drag the "natives" behind him and continued to climb up on the "towering giant tree" of chemistry.

As long as the countries around the world do not popularize the "unique technology" of Hero Company, this kind of brute force will not end, and no interest group is willing to be "squeezed" by Hero Company all the time relying on technology.

Especially in medicine and munitions!

Tom inadvertently caused the first "financial turmoil" that swept the world simply for his own benefit.

Tom's original intention was just to take advantage of the fact that Hero Company still had an advantage in production technology to make his "Hero Dollar" become the standard dollar of the United States, which became more and more difficult to do.

Tom's original plan for the first economic crisis was not intended to affect the world, but he just wanted to engage the Yankees, but Tom's "accident" caused millions of people to starve to death and tens of millions of people to lose their jobs.

Tom said that it was really accidental, caused by a mistake in operation.

Tom is just a "time-traveling trainee" who has traveled for three years, and he is still an "intern" capitalist, so I don't think those dead people should blame Tom.

Even if Tom is to blame, Tom can only eat Texas steak, drink Texas red wine, and play Texas Hold'em and say "I was wrong, but I just won't change".

As for the second financial crisis, it was deliberately caused by Tom after he tasted the sweetness, but felt that the "sweetness" was not big enough.

And it was Tom who knew that it would bring the world into greater turmoil, that more people would die, and that he knew all the consequences......

Tom is still going to cause this economic crisis.

Tom had to make his fortune from the economic crisis.

As for Tom to blame if there is another deceased this time, Tom can only ask the other party to prepare a lawyer first, and meet in court.

Hero Inc. went bankrupt?

Heroes Inc. is bankrupt!

Hero Inc. goes bankrupt.

The news spread faster than the Lincoln assassination, after all, no one used Lincoln condoms, took Lincoln's "painkillers," and used Lincoln's money-laundering fertilizer......

What's more, the instant bankruptcy three days after the explosion of the Hero Factory District also made the vast majority of people not react.

For three days, at this point in 1868, the news could not reach Europe from Houston.

The Europeans also fantasized about exporting domestic agricultural products in exchange for a better economy, after all, starving a few more untouchables would make the nobles earn more gold nuggets.

This is a safe deal.

The Yankews relied on telegrams to receive the news as soon as possible, and as early as April 1, after the explosion, the Yankews began to worry, for fear that the hero dollars in their hands would not be able to buy hero goods.

The bankruptcy announcement on April 4 completely shattered the last vestiges of the Yankees' illusions of "holding hero dollars".

Thousands of Yankews are heading to Houston to claim compensation from Hero with their previous contract with Hero.

The Vanderbilt father and son sat in an office in New York and smiled at each other.

Father and son had long since bought the ownership of a large number of railroads with the "hero dollars" earned from reselling agricultural products, and the "hero dollars" in their hands were only used to maintain a minimum flow of funds.

The impact of this turmoil on their own railway transportation industry is relatively small at present, even if there is another large-scale economic crisis, the railway company only needs to lay off a large number of employees, anyway, this kind of service industry, when to recruit a lot of people.

As long as the core technical personnel are retained, it is good.

For the Vanderbilt family, as long as they survive this economic crisis, the American railroads themselves control more than 90 percent, especially the New York related railroads, all of which have Vanderbilt's name.

When the time comes, the freight of the American railroad will be the Vanderbilt family, and the Vanderbilt father and son are now looking forward to the "good" scene of the economic crisis in the near future.

Many Yankee consortiums that noticed the "weird reselling" of agricultural products by Hero Company also took precautions, but they didn't expect such a sudden declaration of bankruptcy, and most of the Yankee consortium appropriately reduced the "hero dollars" they held in their hands after the explosion.

No matter how much they reduce their holdings, for these Yankee consortia, each consortium also has hundreds of millions of dollars in "hero dollars" in its banks.

The bankruptcy of the hero company made the banks of the major consortia the first to wonder what to do.

The vast majority of the dollars on the market are "hero dollars", and the "hero dollars" are also the most recognized, but banks, especially these Yankey banks, will not openly admit that there is a difference between the dollars.

Even at the peak of the "Yankee dollar" vs. the "hero dollar", the Yankee himself knew that the "Yankee dollar" would definitely die, and ordered that banks were not allowed to exchange two dollars 1:1, and even did not accept deposits of "Yankee dollars", and the exchange of the two dollars on the surface was still 1:1.

At the time, the Yankee government and banks also did not publicly admit that the "Yankee dollar" and the "hero dollar" were not the same currency - the dollar.

And now the banks are facing a problem, the collapse of the "hero dollar" is already a foregone conclusion, what to do with the deposits of these "hero dollars"?

More importantly, what exactly is the new "standard dollar" after the collapse of the hero dollar? Could it be that the U.S. financial system is about to collapse completely?

After the bankruptcy of Hero Company, the workers of the original Hero Company in Texas are confused?

"Aren't we still working?"

"The hero company is bankrupt, so whose family is this daily salary, food, dormitory building, etc.?"

"The lettering on this sack is indeed different, what do you know about these letters?"

"If I were literate, I would still be able to build roads with you here?"

"Whatever it means, let's get to work first, it looks like I'm going to eat boiled noodles tonight."

"Boiled noodles, that tomato whistle is so fragrant~"

The workers were just a little confused, but they still went to work normally, and anyway, people who had jobs would not be idle and had nothing to do to care about these "financial problems".

It can't be helped, the 16-hour daily wage has drained the energy of these workers, and their remaining energy is only allowed to think about what to eat for dinner.
