Scene 217 A life without regrets?(1/2)
"All reading?" Doug put down the documents in his hand, stood in front of the window, stretching his body.
Although this body is still very young and the vitality of youth is surging almost all the time, his long-term work at the desk still makes his body feel tired.
Nick stood behind him, looking at his changing figure and replied, "It's all over."
Doug turned around and saw a braised egg. He was slightly startled. He took a sip of tea and asked in surprise, "Have you visited five places in just one day?
Well…it does look like it is. Do you just have less hair on your head?”
"I..." Nick nodded.
"Don't worry, it will grow again." Doug comforted, but after comforting him, he added, "If it doesn't grow, you'll make a fortune..."
"For? Why?" Nick heard Doug's first half of his words, his heart fell down, and when he heard the second half of his words, his heart rose again.
Doug Clayden said with a serious face, "Nick, don't you have a girlfriend?"
"No……"
"Of course you won't understand if you don't have a girlfriend. If a young woman had thick hair everywhere, would you still like her?"
"I……"
"You may, maybe not. But I can let you do." Doug said before Nick said.
"Why?" Nick asked.
"Good question. Because, I have the ability to make everyone think that women should be hairless. I can post one news after another in the newspaper, and I can promote hairlessness as beauty, exquisiteness, hairlessness as sloppy, and ugly.
In this way, will there be a need for hairlessness and can you sell the things that make you hairless?"
"That's it." Nick admitted.
Although he just admitted it honestly, he had endless plays in his heart.
What did he think?
He thought a lot.
He thought of how to make arrangements, advances, and achieves results.
The size of the US newspaper group is still expanding.
The area where there was originally only one newspaper may be preparing for a second newspaper.
There was originally no newspaper office, but it had either acquired or established a newspaper office.
This expansion model of the US newspaper group is not very healthy to some extent.
Because there are already newspapers without even their own newspaper machines.
It would be embarrassing to use a set of equipment when two opponents who deliberately stood up and looked at each other disliked each other.
What’s even more embarrassing is that some newspapers don’t even have their own printing presses.
I can only go to another nearby city to print newspapers.
In this way, although the timeliness is reduced a little.
However, these newspapers that fill the market gap can still make a barely profitable.
As for Doug Clayden himself, why did he do this?
Didn’t he know that once the railway is laid, a large number of newspapers will go bankrupt?
He knows, of course.
But he doesn't care.
Be able to make money today and attract today's attention.
In order to make today's people instill in various ideas, we can seek greater benefits.
This is enough!
Many people say that capitalists are just a group of profit-oriented things. They can only see immediate interests, but not long-term interests.
However, for the so-called long-term interests, sacrifice immediate interests. Is this the right thing to do?
Maybe it seems to be in Doug's past, but not in Doug's current view.
Because, long-term interests, to put it bluntly, are only short-term interests in the future.
Since I can gain short-term benefits now, I can gain short-term benefits in the future.
As long as I change direction quickly enough, I have never abandoned long-term interests for short-term interests.
In fact, the vast majority of capitalists do this.
However, for various reasons, there are many people who turn to failure.
Those who have never experienced it will start to say hindsight, "You see, these capitalists are so short-sighted and give up their long-term interests for the sake of immediate interests."
Of course, capitalists will indeed sell the noose that traps themselves to the executioner.
Because it's very simple, when he was selling it, he never thought that this kind of thing would be used on himself.
Just like the guns sold by Wensser Weapons, the explosives sold by Tom and Doug Chemicals.
Can't these things be used to attack Doug?
If Doug is attacked, Doug will die too.
Was it just him who personally sold the explosives that killed him and the bullets that killed him?
yes!
Of course!
However, although Doug has hired several bodyguards.
But he never thought that these things would target him when he was selling them.
Is this Doug's limitation?
No, no.
Because in Doug's opinion, he is no longer a creature with ordinary people.
Just like, he worked hard to promote the Civil War and support Lincoln to power.
Does he expect to go to the front line and contribute his life to the unification of the north and south of the United States?
No!
Absolutely not!
Doug's purpose in promoting the Civil War was simple.
First, he wanted to obtain wartime economic privileges, such as the right to issue currency without collateral.
Secondly, he wants to sell weapons. But it is definitely not enough to sell weapons to the north, and it must also be sold to the south.
When slaves were not counting humans and blacks were not counting humans, the north had a large population and the south had a small population.
However, in terms of average wealth, the south has more wealth than the north.
Therefore, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages and have their own advantages.
Only by selling weapons to two places at the same time can you gain the greatest benefit.
Are weapons merchants who have not sold weapons to both sides of the war considered qualified weapons merchants?
No!
Not counting!
Absolutely not counting!
Why is this so?
The reason is very simple, because only in this way can the benefits be the greatest.
Therefore, sometimes, the other side of the war feels that the weapons merchants in their opponents actually break through the blockade and sell weapons to themselves. They must be "good people" and must support themselves.
But how could they know whether the heavy blockades that can be easily broken through were deliberately set up by weapons merchants?
Because, after such a setting, it not only doubles the price of weapons, but also filters out friendly businesses.
Doug couldn't wait to see the Civil War begin.
However, Lincoln has not been elected yet, and it will take time.
As for the current president, Doug had no idea of cooperating.
Because, others have their own interest groups.
If you go by yourself, you may pay ten thousand, but you can only get ten.
Moreover, they are about to expire soon.
The coffee is cold when people walk.
After the president left the White House, he could only rely on selling books and walking around the Taiwan Strait.
