Chapter 30 The Precarious Yankee Industrial Zone

The Yankee executives still found out that something was wrong, and fifteen days after the Smith factory began selling goods at low prices,

October 1, 1866,

The Yankee administration urgently passed the State Trade Tax Autonomy Act,

The Länder Trade Tax Autonomy Act delegated the federal government's authority to allow the Länder to set their own tariff rates for their own foreign trade.

To put it bluntly, it is aimed at the impact of the Texas Smith factory area on the state's industry.

At the same time, the Yankee administration stepped up its denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan, officially making the Ku Klux Klan an outlawed party.

But it was too late.

Even if the states confirm that 70 percent of the products in the Smith factory area are the highest taxes in history, and the price of the products in the Smith factory area is less than 50 percent of the products in the state.

What's more, the products in the Smith factory area are of higher quality.

And the Ku Klux Klan, even though it has been outlawed, is growing stronger and stronger with the support of Tom's strong dollar.

Time doesn't stop because of the Yankee's disadvantage.

It's a month, two months, the third month

The news that the Yankes had been expecting that the Smith factory area would go bankrupt due to a "loss-making" sale did not materialize.

Even investors who are expecting financial problems at the Smith factory to start financing the society are not comprehensible.

They don't understand why a factory has been selling for three months at a 70 percent tariff and showing no signs of collapse when the goods are of higher quality and less than 20 percent of the Yankee's local products.

Tom understands them.

It is impossible to comprehend the "perverse" behavior of the Smith Factory District to comprehend the IQ of these pigs.

Tom has been fighting openly and secretly in the Yankee area for more than a year, and Tom knows what kind of idiots these "upper" Yankee "upper" people who claim to be the upstarts of capital.

They are not innovators and pioneers of technology at all.

They are nothing more than a bunch of pigs on the cusp of the storm, washed up by the waves.

By chance, the technicians in the factory came up with a little industrial scientific and technological reform according to the development of science and technology of the times.

These stupid pigs, with the help of "legitimate" means such as patents, have taken technology under their own name, rather than attributing it to all mankind.

After the preoccupation, these factory owners thought that their own capital had brought about these technological reforms.

These stupid pigs still don't forget to brag about their success stories everywhere, as if without this group of pigs in this world, human technology would not have progressed.

Well, when this group of pigs faces an industrial monster that is more than ten times more productive than itself, it is like Lafayette looking at the great powers - stupid and unknowing.

In Tom Smith's eyes, the image of these Yankees is the same as Lafayette in the eyes of the Yankee himself.

With the glory and advantages of the past, they can't keep up with the changes of the times at all, and they should be abandoned by the times.

However, this group of stupid pigs is still unwilling to die in the "quagmire" of backward technology.

Tom has received word that a large number of former mafia members from the Yankey area have infiltrated the Texas area.

What are these people going to do?

Tom could have guessed it on his heels.

December 15th

Austin, the capital city,

"Jin Kela! Kim K-la! ”

"Texas Tannery!"

"Farmer's canned food is a little sweet!"

“……”

On the largest product exhibition plaza in Texas, all kinds of beautiful girls, staring at the temperature above and below zero, wearing Tom's latest design patriotic bikini, waving low-priced products in their hands.

The customers at the bottom have also changed from all the farmers a few months ago to buyers from all over the world.

Texas Government Buildings,

Inside the Governor's Office:

Tom is changing glasses with Governor Cutie.

"Cheers! For a better Republic of Texas. ”

"Cheers! For a better Republic of Texas. ”

Governor James took the initiative to raise the goblet in his hand, shook the French red wine in the goblet, and toasted Tom, who was in his twenties opposite.

Cheers, but Tom just drank some cold boils, Tom is a non-drinker.

Tom believes that alcohol and women only affect the speed of his brain's reactions.

"Mr. Smith, the Smith company you founded has become the backbone of our Texas in just over half a year."

"With millions of people employed, a booming economy, and you're truly the owner of an Esai factory in Texas."

"Seriously, Smith & Co. is really a hero of our Republic of Texas."

Tom waved his hand, somewhat modestly rejecting James' praise.

"No, no, no, every Texan is a hero of Texas!"

Excluding the thousands of people who die suddenly at the post on the Smith Factory District every day, Tom can really say that he is a Texas hero.

Even if you consider these dead people, after all, they all died because of "operation error", such as pouring chemicals into the chemical pool, what is not an operation error?

What? You ask, isn't it normal to make mistakes when working eighteen hours a day?

Tom could only reply: Aren't there still millions of people who haven't died?

Just look at these thousands of special cases, say, did the Yankee assign you to report on these things?

"Cheers! For the heroes of Texas! ”

"Cheers! For the heroes of Texas! ”

After refilling the glass with a little boiled water, Tom slowly walked to the window, looked condescendingly at the beautiful girl who was working as a salesman from the governor's office, and couldn't help but fantasize about how nice it would be if women all over the world became his employees.

It suddenly dawned on Tom that the world was really interesting, and that the world was really completely different from a different point of view.

Just as Tom was sipping boiled water and "supervising" the work of the outstanding beautiful girls, a muscular man who was seven feet tall and weighed two hundred and fifty pounds walked into the president's office.

The strong man, of course, was John Mueller, who walked up to Tom and bent down to whisper a few words in Tom's ear, while Tom listened to every word of John with a smile on his face.

"Cute governor, 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 schedule 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 John, and shortly after Tom walked out of the governor's office, Governor James angrily threw his glass on the ground.

"Neither the farmer nor the fifteen-year-old factory owner, none of these councillors took me seriously!"

"Does it really make sense for me to be the governor of Texas?"

Governor James slumped weakly on the chair in the office, and the governor who was elevated was really tired enough.

A governor who loves the Republic of Texas deeply, but is completely overthrown, lives even more tired.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Tom is still a "conscientious" capitalist.

"This governor is just a showman, and he has a lot of love for the state."

"Rewarded him with tens of thousands of taxes, and all of them were divided up by government workers, and even a road could not be repaired."

"It's really apt to call him a cutie, it's only suitable to be a doll vase."

Tom, who walked out of the governor's office, was talking and laughing with John next to him in the hallway.

"This is Texas, and here, I'm the master of the state."

"As for the governor?"

"What brand of vase is he?"
