Chapter 198, Wedding (1)

As mentioned earlier, Scotchi's wedding is very popular, and it is also a big thing in the eyes of ordinary people. The United States is a country that emphasizes the so-called personal struggle. It is always promoting the people. As long as you have talent and are willing to work hard, you will definitely have a day to make a comeback. Scotchi is such a role model. It is like an editor always telling writers that as long as you have talent and can increase more than 10,000 per day, you may become a great god like Tang San. But in general, the editor has a conscience than the United States, because the editor is talking about "possible", which is a possibility.

;But in the American Dream, it is intentionally or unintentionally making you think that this is "certain", an inevitable, but it does not tell you that the total number of society can climb up is quite limited. Such propaganda is very beneficial. The biggest advantage is that once someone fails, his own reaction is that this is because I have no ability and don’t work hard. Well, it’s me who is wrong anyway, not society. It is of course a middle-class person to attribute all the mistakes to society; but at the same time, it is to attribute all the problems to yourself, thinking that the Sahara has not become a forest, and it is all because of not working hard enough. This is also confusing.

However, many times, education, publicity, etc., are not all really for people to understand, and sometimes they are just to make people confused. But there is a contradiction here, that is, when working, we always hope that the people below are smart and capable, but when we share money, we hope that they are stupid and stupid. How can this be done? The solution is to make them smart and capable, teach them natural science, and to make them stupid, we must let them learn some humanities.

In addition, Dorothea is from the south, so her marriage to Scozhi has been hyped up by those who are interested and has become a symbol of reconciliation between the north and the south, so the wedding seems to have added another important meaning.

Since Scozhi's wedding is so important, it is naturally troublesome to prepare. This is not to say that those messy etiquettes, Scozhi and Dorothea were both authentic Americans. In that era, in the eyes of Europeans, Americans were all barbarians who were not etiquette, but on the other hand, in the eyes of Americans, the Europeans' bullshit etiquette was purely pretending. In addition, Scozhi's Protestant belief (if any) also opposed those red tape etiquettes. Therefore, the groom and the bride did not need to undergo professional etiquette training.

But this does not mean that there will be few troubles. Determining the list of weddings and reviewing the design of the wedding is all troublesome. The American people do not agree with excessive luxury, so they must be simple; but if they are simple, they must not be simple and unearthed buns. They must be simple and high-end, atmospheric and up-to-date. They must not lose luxury or shabby. This balance is not easy to grasp.

However, there are many scholars who have studied this aspect at Rockefeller College at Cleveland University. The think tank they formed proposed several detailed plans for choice. In the end, Scrooge and Dorothea finally picked out one.

...

"Clark, can you get an invitation?"

Clark, who was about to go out, turned his head and saw that it was his wife Mary.

"Who asked you to get an invitation again?" Clark smiled. As the manager and joint venture of MacDonald Foods, it was no problem to get an invitation to attend Scrooge's wedding.

"Steve and the others, their daughter is fifteen years old this year. It's time to go out and see the world, right?" said Mary.

Steve was Mary's cousin. He was originally a small businessman. Later, Clark became more developed with Scrooge, so they followed Clark to stick some light.

"What is the best thing about this? Their business is too small. Mr. McDonald was very busy at that time. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of important people coming to congratulate him. When they go, they will only look at Mr. McDonald at most, and there is no hope of talking to him. What's the use of going?" Clark said.

"You old fool!" Mary replied with a smile, "Steve and the others went there not to get in touch with the MacDonald's house, but to get in touch with other guests who came to the MacDonald's house. Mina is fifteen this year and is already a big girl. I think there should be many boys of the same age as him among the guests..."

"So it's this, well, it's easy. It's just wrapped around me." Clark said, putting on his coat, and a four-wheeled carriage was waiting outside to pick him up to work.

...

MacDonald Food’s business has always been very good, and even the economic downturn has not had much impact on them. Although many who used to eat Spam now cannot afford Spam now, more of those who used to eat young meat have now changed to Spam now. Today’s MacDonald Food not only includes general grain products, animal feed, pigs, chickens, and ducks, but also has its own marine fishing fleet.

Mr. McDonald is about to get married, and the food at the wedding is of course provided by McDonald Food. For example, the pigs raised in the 163 pig farm are definitely not the kind that is sold in just one hundred and sixty-three days, but the special pigs raised in the most traditional and greenest way.

In fact, since the establishment of MacDonald Foods, in addition to making money, they have also undertaken the task of providing the safest food to the company's senior management, not only for pigs, but also for chickens, milk, and cheese (this is very necessary. In those days, in order to keep fresh, those black-hearted merchants were vigorously adding compounds containing mercury. The amount was limited to eating them on the spot, and for the sake of eating them on the spot, the British added patina to the tea). Anyway, since the company was established, Scourge had eaten safe food for the first time in his two lives.

"Are there fresh bluefin tuna?" Clark asked.

"Last night, the 'Honest Man' returned to the port and brought back one, weighing 380 pounds, which should be enough," the secretary replied.

"How was it saved?" Clark asked.

"It's pretty well preserved. Very fresh," the assistant replied.

"Ah, so we'll have everything ready here," Clark said.

...

"Andrew, are you really going to go to Scolz? McDonald's wedding in person?" asked First Lady Eliza? McCardell.

"Yes." President Andrew Johnson replied.

"But there has never been a precedent for a president to attend a rich man's wedding in person. Maybe others would say that you are too pleased with those big capitals. They would say a lot of bad things." The wife said worriedly.

"Isn't this a good thing?" President Andrew replied, "First of all, Scrooge's reputation has always been very good. She is not only a big capital, but also a great scientist and a great philanthropist. Considering the latter two identities, I attended his wedding, which was nothing bad. And if someone was willing to attack me for this, it would be better. First of all, what impact would such an attack have on me? If it weren't for Lincoln's assassination, I wouldn't be president anyway. And by the next presidential election, do you think I have any chance to win the Republican who just won the Civil War? So, any attack on me actually has no real meaning and can be ignored most of the time.

Secondly, if they are willing to accuse me of this matter, it is difficult not to involve Scourge McDonald when they accuse me of this. It is easy to cause conflicts between the MacDonald family and the Republican Party. Isn’t this a very beneficial thing for the Democratic Party? So, attending Scourge McDonald’s wedding is beneficial but not harmful.”

...

"Scrooge invited a lot of Democrats to his wedding. What do you think?" After spending a night on the yacht with his club members, they talked about Scrooge's wedding the next morning.

"Mr. McDonald never does meaningless things. Although the Democrats are unlikely to re-rule in the short term, they are still very influential in the South. Yes, Republicans have won the recent elections in the South. But everyone knows how this victory came about. This victory cannot last for a long time. Sooner or later, the South will be the world of the Democratic Party. And the South is so severely damaged that it will have a lot of business, especially steel business. So, Scrooge wants to win the Democratic Party at this time," said a banker.

"I think that's the case, too," said another banker. "But if this happens, Republicans will definitely be dissatisfied. We may be able to use this dissatisfaction to strengthen our influence on the Republican Party. However, we cannot expect the Republican Party to fall out directly with Scrooge, after all, he is also a big funder of the Republican Party."

"You're all right," Morgan said. "But there is another point, you have to be clear, what is the biggest difference between the Republican and the Democratic Party in political views?" Morgan looked around and saw no one chewing the sound. Obviously everyone was waiting for him to give the answer.
