By May 1, 1868, diplomatic representatives from all over the world had come to Houston.

They all received invitations from Tom in the name of the Second Mexican Empire.

The diplomatic representatives of all the countries, thinking that the nascent regime wanted diplomatic recognition or something, all of them, like the first four powers, paid a private visit to Tom Smith.

Tom also did not refuse to come, and he came from afar and was a guest, and had friendly consultations with the diplomatic representatives of each country.

But the outcome of each consultation is the same as that of the first four powers and Tom.

No matter how tempting the delegates may have been to offer them, Tom would not agree.

Tom kept asking for more until he left in a rage, scolding Tom for being insatiable.

But the diplomatic representatives of the countries did not leave Houston, and Tom promised them that he would give them a big gift.

It is also rare for representatives of various countries to gather in Houston, they are all the upper nobles of each country, and they take the opportunity to carry out various exchange balls with each other.

The diplomatic representatives of various countries are either dukes or counts, and no matter how bad they are, they are also marquis barons.

Even if they don't have any contact with each other now, they count their ancestors and they are all relatives.

Among these "confessional" balls, the most active were the representatives of Great Britain.

The representative of Great Britain persuaded the representatives of the vast majority of countries to find a way to nibble a few bites of meat from Tom together.

May 5, 1868

Early this morning, diplomatic representatives from all over the world, at Tom's invitation, gathered in a glorious conference room in the city hall of Houston.

In the semi-circular conference room, dozens of diplomatic representatives from various countries sit on the stairs.

In front of each delegate's seat, there were several steel bottles and cans, and several can lifters.

From the representatives of the European powers who sat in the first faction to the representatives of small countries who sat in the middle and back rows,

The countries they represent are all countries or regions that have previously traded with HERO in the field of agricultural products.

Under the "click" of the representative of Great Britain, the delegates in the seat saw the bottles and cans in front of the seats, and they all understood what Tom was going to do today.

Tom wants to export canned produce to these countries in reverse.

Before the opening, the delegates in the audience had already agreed to each other to unanimously resist Tom's dumping of cans.

Even at the expense of armed confrontation.

Among the dozens of delegates in the audience, only one of Tom's closest diplomatic and trading partners did not come, and that was the local court.

Is it that the local dynasty does not give face to the Second Mexican Empire, does it not come?

No, it was Tom who came uninvited.

Why didn't Tom invite the officials of the Ground Dynasty?

The reason is simple, Tom knows that even if tens of thousands of people starve to death, Lafayette will not agree to pay for food relief.

For Lafayette, it's not a house slave who starves to death anyway, a bunch of outsiders can scrape flesh and blood.

Isn't it a waste of money to buy grain and feed it to the poor with money spent in vain?

Would rather be robbed than buy food for disaster relief, this is the political concept of the local dynasty Lafayette.

And for the real ruler of the Earth Dynasty, the scholars, whether the people live or die, can they shake the status of the scholars of the Earth Dynasty?

The scholars who read poetry and books know that even if the earth dies, the world is still a scholar!

Since it was impossible for the earth to pay for food from the top down, there was no need for Tom to invite them.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, all the invited diplomatic representatives filled the conference room one after another.

Tom, dressed in a suit handmade by his mother, Penny, in less than thirty dollars of fabric, entered the conference room with a moving chalkboard that was one person high.

Upon entering the conference room, Tom greeted all the delegates warmly:

"Welcome to Heroine's fair."

Then Tom turned around and wrote a price point on the blackboard, the price of canned yellow peaches.

Sold by the ton, the payment method is gold and silver.

Tom also made it clear that "no other forms of payment are accepted".

After writing, Tom began to introduce the first product of today's trade fair - canned yellow peaches.

"The first product I recommend to you is, canned yellow peaches!"

"Good quality and low price, rich in nutrition, sweet and sour and refreshing ......"

Like a salesman, Tom opened a glass can on the podium in front of him, stuck a piece of pulp with a fork, and ate it with a crisp face.

"And then there's this canned bread, canned apple, canned ramen, canned pizza......"

In this way, Tom recommended the various cans in front of the delegates in turn to the audience.

"I know that your motherland is facing a greater or lesser food shortage, and I sell all these canned food at low prices."

"My Tom assures you that these cans will last for more than 10 years without any additives or preservatives."

"Please hurry up if you want to buy it!"

"Hurry up!"

Tom introduced dozens of canned foods through a series of tastings, but the audience was still lifeless, and it didn't mean that he wanted to buy canned Heroine food.

Tom was a little confused by the monks.

In Tom's cognition, even if the bad guys sell their food for profit, the representatives of various countries are here on behalf of their own governments, and the government is always willing to see the corpses of the people everywhere, right?

While Tom was still puzzled, the diplomatic representative of the Kingdom of Italy, which had just unified Italy, stood up and said to Tom with a high spirit:

"Mr. Smith, we, the Kingdom of Italy, have come to ask for a large quantity of grain products that have been smuggled in the country not long ago!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was like a frying pan, and the representatives of various countries stood up one after another and shouted to Tom:

"Mr. Smith, we, the Russian Empire, have also come to ask for a large amount of grain products that were smuggled in the country not long ago!"

"Mr. Smith, our Ottoman Empire is also here to ask for a large amount of grain products that were smuggled in the country not long ago!"

"Mr. Smith, I ......"

Of all the delegates present, only four did not rise up to beg for food: the Second French Empire, Austria-Hungary, the British Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia.

Tom looked at the high-sounding "justice begging for food" that these diplomatic representatives said, and couldn't figure out why these people were so naïve?

Who the hell gave them the courage to ask me Tom Smith for something?

Tom slapped his hands heavily on the blackboard with the price chart behind him, and then said to all the delegates:

"I only sell these goods on behalf of the heroine company, and as for your smuggling problem, go and connect with the American government!"

As soon as Tom's words fell, a middle-aged man sitting in an inconspicuous position stood up, he was the representative of the Yankee consortium - Charles Francis Adams,

Charles looked at Tom squarely and said to Tom unpopularly:

"On behalf of the federal government of the United States, I ask your company to return the agricultural products illegally smuggled by various countries."
