Chapter Twenty-Nine: Make Texas Great Again!

"Brother Tom, those coal merchants won't accept any more dollars from our Texas State Bank."

"Not only coal, but also lumber, cloth, cotton, etc., almost all the suppliers of raw materials refuse to accept dollars from our Texas State Bank anymore, they only want the banks in the Yankey area to issue dollars."

"I calculated, if this continues, in another half a month at most, our Smith factory area will be shut down."

"And that's not counting the influx of thousands of Irish and Eastern European refugees every day, and if you count them all, we won't be able to support the Smith factory that now employs half a million people for a maximum of 10 days."

In Smith Farm, Tom sat leisurely in his office leather chair, with his legs crossed on the desk, smoking a fake glass cigarette in his mouth, listening to the reports of his subordinates.

Before Tom came to Texas, he had been planting a dark line to infiltrate the Texas State Bank.

Last month, Tom took complete control of the Texas State Bank, and Tom, who coincided with the bankruptcy border, quickly ordered a massive printing of state dollars to fill the gap in the cash chain.

These newly printed dollars became Tom's means of paying the raw material suppliers at the Smith site.

Employees are also starting to pay these new, ink-smelling dollars.

Gradually, because of Tom's extensive money printing, the supplier found that the Texas State Bank's dollars were becoming less and less valuable.

Elsewhere, Texas State Bank printed dollars are already being disrecognized, and suppliers at the Smith plant are not recognizing these baseless dollars.

A group of men reported these "sad news" to Tom with sad faces.

"Da~Da~Da~"

The cheap leather shoes on Tom's feet, which cost less than twenty dollars, collided with each other with a crisp sound as Tom's toes danced.

This rhythmic and regular sound told everyone present that Tom had no psychological burden.

Finally, the cheap leather shoes stopped knocking, and Tom lowered his legs, adjusted his sitting position, and sat upright looking at the core members of the Smith family in front of him.

Tom pulled out a $100 bill from the Texas State Bank, which had just been printed less than three days ago, from the pile of papers on his desk, and sniffed the pleasant smell of ink with the tip of his nose.

“In God We Trust!”

Looking at the twelve-letter phrase on the dollar, Tom didn't seem to worry about the depreciation of the Texas State Bank's dollar at all.

Instead of answering his men's concerns head-on, Tom asked other questions.

"Is there still a mafia in Texas that doesn't have long eyes?"

"Nope."

John Mill, the first to answer, now leads the Mueller family, which is made up of veterans from the German region, and has completely taken control of the Texas underworld.

"Is the size of the Smith plant enough to operate at full capacity with more than 10 million employees?"

"That's enough, it's stopped now."

"Boss, what's the use of building so big, where does Texas have so many people?"

This time it was Loki who answered, and Tom asked his doubts, but Tom didn't answer, but continued to ask the next question.

"Is the Ku Klux Klan still as powerful but without any real power?"

"Yes."

The third question was answered by Johnny.

"Everything is ready."

"Brothers, it's time!"

"Make Texas Great Again!"

Tom pulled out dozens of file bags from the drawer, and distributed each file bag to a different core member of the Smith family according to the name on it.

Judging by the dust that had accumulated around the edges of the file bag, the papers had been stored in Tom's drawer for a long time.

Tom was waiting for the moment.

Wait for the time when the name Tom Smith can shine again in the United States of America.

The next day, all the products in the Smith factory area were directly reduced by 80% from the price of Yankee products, and began to impact the markets in the United States and Europe.

The production methods of the chemical plant in the Smith Factory District are a perfect combination of Tom's knowledge of chemistry from the 21st century and the bottlenecks of 19th-century industry that Tom learned in his previous life from a beautiful chemist.

It is no exaggeration to say that the per capita production efficiency of the chemical plants in the Smith factory area is more than ten times that of the Yankeos and European chemical plants, and even if the price of the Smith factory is now set at one-tenth of the price, it will be hugely profitable.

Before, Tom was gathering strength and waiting for the right time.

The United States of America, indeed, has high tariffs to protect its factories.

To be precise, it was the Yankee government that used tariffs to protect the development of the Yankee Industrial Zone.

The industrial products in Europe have always been more affordable than those in the Yankee Industrial Zone.

But Texas is part of the United States, and the Yankee administration can no longer use tariffs as an excuse to protect its congressmen's factories.

The fertilizer factory was the first to be hit, followed by the explosives factory, the dye factory and other industries closely related to the chemical industry.

Tom is different from the previous life with no business experience, the previous life Tom started from a fertilizer factory and a pharmaceutical factory, little by little, and developed steadily.

In this life, I personally experienced the intrigues between the Yankee industrial areas for another year.

With the large amount of money accumulated before, when Tom built the Smith factory area in Texas, he no longer started with one or two industries, but relied on the advantages of the chemical industry to impact all industries.

Even if it is not directly related to the chemical industry, Tom has begun to invest heavily in it.

In the apparel industry, for example, Tom relies on the proximity to cotton production and the production of dyes in his own chemical plants, and can produce cheap clothes on a large scale at less than one-tenth of the cost of factories in the Yankey area.

Not to mention high-end clothing, even the blown French fashion is not competitive with Smith's clothes composed of colorful dyes and delicate soft fabrics.

How can any factory be able to maintain profitability at such low prices, when the small factories in the Yankey area are beginning to lose their jobs on a large scale, and the big factories controlled by the lawmakers who think that Tom's Smith factory area are just bluffing?

If these people start rioting after the population loses their jobs, the problem will soon cause alarm among the Yankee leadership.

But with the help of human rights fighters in the United States, especially those of the women's liberation movement, the Yankee top brass did not face this demographic "big problem" at all.

Without the law and order problems caused by the overpopulation, the productivity and social environment in the Yankey area have become better.

An unstoppable positive loop of no solution begins.

Large populations in the Yankey area began to pour into Texas by train, guided by human rights fighters.

With millions of employees who come to Ireland by sea.

The sparse population is no longer a shackle that restricts the explosion of Texas' industrial power.

Texas, the 300,000-square-mile, flat, mineral-rich state of the United States, began to rapidly develop the industrial potential it was supposed to have.
