168: The $100,000 Goal in 1888

"After the skin is clean, tie them tightly and put them in the warehouse."

"Each bundle is 30 fur, not 29 or 28. You must count it clearly and don't cause trouble when delivering it."

"Hey, what about you, the same fur is tied together, and the valuable precious fur is placed in Mr. Henry's tent. No one wants to hide it privately, otherwise be careful of your hands!"

In the camp, Taylor, as the foreman, was giving a lecture like a general.

He has said such words many times in the past few days. He can tell whether everyone is surprised or not. Everyone thinks he is farting.

"Let's go, the kitchen is here."

Under William's leadership, Lin Yao came to the kitchen.

The kitchen work is relatively easy. There are 57 people in the entire camp, 28 cobblers and cobbler apprentices, 22 hunters, 4 logistics staff, 2 cooks, and the boss Henry. Just prepare the meals for these people.

They are all big pot rice, mainly meat soup.

There are not many differences between Indian protection, but there are many preys. In addition, the Indians have a strong sense of territory and are not allowed to enter their area. There are so many preys that cannot be eaten.

In the kitchen, there were two chefs, one was William and the other was an old man.

The old man was the chef, and William was the helper, helping him cut meat, roast firewood, etc.

"Our task is very easy, mainly responsible for three meals a day, and prepare hot soup for the hunting team. When we are fine, we have to go to the mountain to pick up wood and ask for dead branches that can burn, otherwise the camp will not be able to be without fire at night."

After walking around the kitchen twice, William introduced Lin Yao.

Lin Yao was not surprised at all when he heard such words. He had relatively few work in the kitchen, but he would not let them play all day.

But compared to hunting teams and cobblers, they have higher degrees of freedom. As long as they complete the task on time, few people will care about them.

For example, William usually takes a nap in the afternoon, and changes to cobblers and fur hunters. If you dare to sleep, you will wait for the foreman to kick your butt.

"The entire camp seems simple, but it is actually divided into three factions. The cobbler is a faction, the fur hunter is a faction, and the logistics and chef are another faction."

"The cobbler is headed by Taylor, the apprentice is a circle, the master is a circle, and people in both circles don't talk much to the hunter."

"The same is true for hunters, led by foreman Gerald, looks down on these craftsmen and thinks they make more money than craftsmen."

"Boss Henry, stay out of the matter and take control of the overall situation."

"When he is fine, he will stay in the tent, keeping his mystery while not easily intervening in conflicts, but instead acquiesced to the opposition between the cobbler and the hunter."

"The logistics staff should be Henry's confidants. Unlike those of us who became monks halfway through, we should have had a long time with our boss."

"Especially Ms. Angela, who is responsible for counting prey and fur, has an ambiguous attitude with the boss, so she may not be the identity of a lover."

Lin Yao calmly analyzed the identities of these people based on the memories of his predecessor and his own observations.

But what interested him the most was not the boss and the two foremen, but the guide and hunter Grass and son.

Hugh Glass is a member of the Hunters and is also their guide.

He had a son, who was called Hawk, who had a distinct Indian appearance and was also a little hunter.

Lin Yao was very curious about the two because Grass's appearance was somewhat similar to Little Little Li.

He watched a movie "The Revenant" in 2015, and there was Little Little Zi here. Coincidentally, the movie also tells the story of a group of fur hunters.

Of course, Lin Yao is not sure whether the two are related.

He had long forgotten that movie, only remembered that they encountered many difficulties, and were chased by Indians because they entered the reserve to poach. They also had internal conflicts during the escape. A companion killed Li Zi's son and left the injured Li Zi in the wild.

As for who is in the story, what are their names? Besides revenge, Lin Yao has no impression of it at all.

So he was not sure whether the little plum in front of him was the little plum among the wilderness hunters.

Perhaps, Grass just looks a bit like Little Plum.

In this way, in a blink of an eye, a morning passed.

Lin Yao observed the entire camp, while also thinking about his own future.

He died and lived, and was resurrected to 1888, another man named Lin Yao.

There were two resurrections, both carriers were called Lin Yao. Does this name have something to do with his resurrection?

In addition, what does the blue light seen before resurrection mean?

Is his resurrection related to the blue light?

For example, the name is coordinates and the blue light is a program.

After death, lock the coordinates, start the program, and successfully reincarnate?

If so, will he die here and continue to be reincarnated as Lin Yao in another world?

Thinking of this, he really had the urge to shoot himself and see if he would be reborn again.

But soon, this impulse was restrained by him again. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but was afraid of one. Who would die if he could live? What if he really died and no longer reincarnated?

He had nothing to say when he died unexpectedly, and he really didn't have the courage to commit suicide.

"A pocket watch, plus $60, is my entire possession. I have become Lin Yao in this world. How should I go in the future?"

Lin Yao was still thinking about the situation in front of him. He did not have much impression of the Citi Kingdom in the 19th century. At this time, Citi Kingdom was still a symbol of poverty, and its international status was even less than that of a second-rate country like Belgium.

The real rise of Citigroup was in the middle and late stages of World War II.

Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and Germany, these old empires that control the European economy were beaten up in the two world wars, and Citigroup took advantage of the situation.

Before World War II, Citigroup was at most an emerging economy, and most of the time, its main job was to lick the empire's dog that day.

Even Rockefeller is proud to be able to attend parties in the British royal family, let alone other mud legs.

Citiland is not yet considered a paradise, it can only be said to be on the way to heaven.

As for returning to Tang State, Lin Yao gave up after thinking about it.

The Tang Kingdom is now in the Guangxu period, and the demon queen is in power. What should I do when I go back? Should I measure the material resources of China with her and make the country happy?

It’s even more unpredictable to do it yourself, and you will be given four or four in minutes.

After thinking about it, we should start from the present.

Since we have arrived in the evil capital society, how can we not witness the charm of capital?

For example, Carnegie Steel Company has not reached its peak yet. If you invest a sum of money, it will be easy to increase it by thirty or fifty times in ten years.

There is also Henry Ford, who built the world's first car in 1896 and began his own car kingdom.

It is now 1888, and there are still 8 years left before 1896.

By 1903, Ford had 11 shareholders and jointly raised $28,000 to register Ford and began to produce cars.

If you have money, make friends with Ford in advance and invest when Ford starts a company, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future.

This is not an exaggeration. From the founding of Ford in 1903 to 1927, Ford produced a total of 15 million Ford T-Shirts in just 24 years.

At that time, Ford's market value exceeded one billion, and in Ford's most difficult entrepreneurial stage, they even offered a farce of $100,000 to buy equipment to give 30% of the shares.

The most ridiculous thing is that no one is optimistic about them, and that crisis almost broke Ford.

Later, Ford's market value exceeded one billion, and many people regretted not agreeing to Ford's request back then.

Otherwise, the 100,000 US dollars would have increased by 300 times by 1927 and would have become 300 million US dollars.

Relying on Ford's dividends alone can make you become the top ten richest people in Citigroup.

Lin Yao feels that life should have some goals.

For example, before 1900, he made $100,000 and joined Ford.

Or, get a Ford company yourself.
