No matter how much wealth the Yankee consortium loses, as long as Tom Smith can remain in the United States, he will not worry about finding another opportunity to carve it up in the future.

But if Texas had become independent from the United States, as it had been when it became independent from Mexico, with the support of outside powers.

That's really picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon.

Of course, Tom will not take Texas to independence from the United States, and Tom will help the United States expand its territory.

Tom is going to be the elected emperor of the American Empire, not the garbage king of the Kingdom of Texas.

Just when the Venerable Master finished the argument and was ready to break up.

The father of a father and son sitting in the corner nodded frequently at the information of Tom Smith and John Mueller, as well as other core members of the Smith family.

"It's a pity that I quit shipping a few years ago, otherwise I would have wanted to take a boat to meet this interesting young man."

"If this information is true, then this is a. Especially this young man named Tom is really interesting. ”

"Captain", Cornelius Vanderbilt, played with the sapphire ornament on the cane in his hand, and then looked at his son, his chosen successor, William Henry Vanderbilt.

"Father, what's interesting is that he is just a big factory owner who has mastered the new production technology."

"Sooner or later, other factories will learn his production methods, so that Smith Company will have no advantage at all, and will be reduced to an ordinary factory company."

"In the past few years, there has been a large-scale economic crisis every few years."

"Sooner or later, Smith's capital chain will break due to the economic crisis, and then it can only sell shares for financing."

"Even if their family is lucky, they will become the first family in Texas at most, and if they are unlucky, they may only become the main members of the Texas Houston consortium."

William Henry Vanderbilt did not approve of his father's excessive praise for Tom Smith.

Even the Vanderbilt family's railroad company and the former shipping company have financed their share of capital in exchange for cash flow to survive several massive economic crises.

A German smuggled boy to bastard, by chance, knows a little technology, and can live forever?

Of course, this is not William's opinion alone, and the vast majority of Yankee consortium owners think so.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed to spend a lot of money to appease Tom Smith.

"I don't think so, the United States has a population of more than 30 million or nearly 40 million, and I can earn a million dollars a year just by relying on a "gold rush hotline" sailing from the East Coast to the West Coast, and he is selling necessities to all Americans, and it is a medical life-saving necessity that cannot be bargained, how much do you think he can earn in the past six months? ”

"Take New York as an example, there are millions of people in the New York metropolitan area, and many of Smith's miracle drugs are basically cured, and the price is one day on the black market...... Father, he may have earned tens of millions of dollars in the past three months! ”

William Henry Vanderbilt, as the family's designated successor, quickly understood how profitable Tom's chemical industry chain alone was.

At this time, the two had already left the conference room and boarded the carriage for the return journey.

The gold-rimmed carriage was about to be pulled out of the gates of this luxurious private estate, pulled by several white Lipizzan horses.

"This is only the pharmaceutical industry, even if only the profits of the pharmaceutical industry are calculated, at this rate, it will only take a year or two for him to replace me as the richest man in the United States. Counting other industries, I can't imagine it! ”

"But this kind of chemical industry chain is not a long-term solution after all, not to mention the problem after the technology is cracked, let's talk about the near, Pennsylvania has begun to increase state tariffs."

"Do you think he doesn't know? The Texas State House recently proposed a bill to raise tariffs across the board, do you think there is no Smith behind the introduction of this bill? ”

"Isn't he the dominant party in the industrial chain? Shouldn't free trade be encouraged, and tariff reductions vigorously promoted? ”

Cornelius Vanderbilt touched the sapphire on his cane, and instead of answering his son's question directly, he thought about the interesting young man's previous moves, and smiled slightly.

"Have you ever seen a mafia leader spend all his assets on expanding the industrial chain and expanding the factory?"

He still lives in his office every day, and he has not built a single house as his "mansion". ”

"It wasn't until last month that he recruited his first attendant as a secretary, and I heard that the attendant was quite average."

"People, after being rich, are greedy for pleasure and vanity."

"The sapphire on my crutch could have built a railroad from New York to Washington, but I traded gold and dollars for this stone of little practical value."

"Because I already have too many railroads, 70 percent of the railroads in the entire northern United States are mine, and the railroad network in the United States is almost all about me, so it doesn't matter to me whether there is one more or less."

"If you were a self-made multi-millionaire and you got rich in half a year, would you resist buying some extravagant accessories and beautiful women? Even if it's just a little innocuous money. ”

Cornelius Vanderbilt wanted to use this to educate his children not to be extravagant and greedy for pleasure, but after looking at the sapphire gold cane and a custom suit in his hand, as well as the Breguet watch of the former French royal family that he bought at auction for hundreds of thousands of dollars, he really did not have the confidence to educate his son directly, so he could only use the subtext to wake up his son.

Just as the carriage had just walked out of the gate of the manor, Cornelius raised the golden cane in his hand and pointed to several other rich carriages around him.

"These fools are not going to defeat Tom Smith in this war."

"On one side are the fanatics who gamble their lives and exchange every drop of blood on their bodies for bullets."

"On the other side is just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and the war ended before it even began."

These carriages were carved out of a mold, all of them were drawn by tall white lipiza, and they were all carriages with gold trim.

Even the rich people inside are each holding a similar gold and diamond cane.

Of course, none of the tycoons of the Yankee consortium thought of one thing.

Tom was really going to sell his stake in Smith to these Yankees, and he wasn't kidding.

For Tom, since these Yankees are going to buy Smith, let's call them buy.

Tom really doesn't want Smith anymore,
