Yangjiao's top management still discovered something was wrong. Fifteen days after Smith's factory area started selling goods at low prices,
October 1, 1866
The Yang government urgently passed the "State Trade Tax Autonomy Act",
The "State Trade Tax Autonomy Act" decentralizes the power of the federal government and allows states to independently establish their own tariff rates for foreign trade.
To put it bluntly, it is aimed at the impact of the Smith Factory District in Texas on the state's industry.
At the same time, the Yang government stepped up its denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan and officially established the Ku Klux Klan as an illegal party.
But it was too late.
Even if each state imposes a 70% tax on products from the Smith Factory District, which is the highest tax rate in history, the price of the products in the Smith Factory District in each state is less than 50% of that of the products in the state's factory district.
More importantly, the products in Smith's factory area are of higher quality.
As for the Ku Klux Klan, even though it has been designated as an illegal organization, with the support of Tom's powerful US dollars, the Ku Klux Klan is growing day by day.
Time will not stop because of Yankee's disadvantage.
One month, two months, third month
The news that the Yankees were expecting that the Smith Factory District was going bankrupt due to being sold at a "loss" did not appear.
Even investors who began to look at social financing after expecting financial problems in the Smith Factory District couldn't understand it.
They don’t understand why there is a factory that has been selling products for three months with a 70% tariff when the products are of higher quality and the ex-factory price is less than 20% of Yangji’s local products, and there has been no collapse.
signs.
Tom understands them.
Understanding the intelligence of these pigs is incomprehensible to the "aberrant" behavior of Smith's factory complex.
Tom has been fighting openly and secretly in the gay area for more than a year. Tom knows what kind of fools these gay "upper class" people who call themselves the new capital rich are.
They are not technological innovators and pioneers at all.
They are just a group of pigs on the cusp of the storm, washed up into the sky by huge waves.
By chance, the technical staff in the factory came up with some industrial technological reforms based on the technological development of the times and accumulated accumulated experience.
These stupid pigs, with the help of "legitimate" means such as patents, claim technology in their own names instead of attributing it to all mankind.
After plundering and plundering, these factory owners thought that it was their own capital that prompted these technological reforms.
These stupid pigs don't forget to brag about their success stories everywhere, as if without these pigs in the world, human science and technology would not progress.
So, when these pigs face an industrial monster whose production efficiency is more than ten times their own, they are like Lafayette looking at the great powers - stupid and unaware.
In the eyes of Tom Smith, the image of these gay men is the same as the image of Lafayette in the eyes of gay Yang himself.
Holding on to their previous glory and advantages, they are completely unable to keep up with the changes of the times, and they should be abandoned by the times.
However, these stupid pigs are not willing to die in the "quagmire" of backward technology.
Tom has received news that from the Yankee area, there are a large number of former members of the major mafia in various states who have mixed into the Texas area.
What are these people going to do?
Tom Heel can guess it.
December 15
The capital city of Austin,
"Jin Ke La! Jin Ke La!"
“Texas Tannery!”
“Farmer’s can is a little sweet!”
"..."
In the largest product exhibition and sales plaza in Texas, all kinds of beautiful girls stared at the temperature above and below zero, wearing Tom's latest patriotic bikini design, waving low-priced products in their hands.
The customers below have also changed from all farmers a few months ago to purchasers from all over the world.
Texas government buildings,
Inside the Governor's Office:
Tom was drinking and drinking with the cute governor.
"Cheers! To a better Republic of Texas."
"Cheers! To a better Republic of Texas."
Governor James took the initiative to raise the goblet in his hand, shook the French red wine in the goblet, and toasted to Tom, who was in his twenties opposite.
It was said to be a toast, but Tom just drank some cold drinks. Tom was a teetotaler.
Tom believes that alcohol and women will only affect the reaction speed of his brain.
"Mr. Smith, the Smith Company you founded has become the backbone of our state of Texas in just over half a year."
"Millions of people are employed and the economy is booming. You are truly a Texas factory owner."
"Seriously, Smith Company is truly a hero to our Republic of Texas."
Tom waved his hand and declined James' compliment modestly.
"No, no, no, every Texan is a Texas hero!"
If you don't take into account the thousands of people who die suddenly every day on the job in the Smith Factory District, Tom can really say that he is a Texas hero.
Even if we consider these dead people, after all, they all died due to "operational errors", such as pouring chemicals and falling into a chemical pool. What is it other than operational errors?
What? You ask, working eighteen hours a day, isn't it normal for mistakes to happen?
Tom could only answer: Aren't there still millions of people who are still alive?
Why are you just looking at these thousands of special cases and wondering if Mr. Yang assigned you to report on these things?
"Cheers! To the heroes of Texas!"
"Cheers! To the heroes of Texas!"
After refilling the wine glass with some boiled water, Tom slowly walked to the window and looked down at the beautiful sales girl outside the window from the governor's office. He couldn't help but imagine how great it would be if all the women in the world became his employees.
.
Tom suddenly realized that the world was really interesting. From different angles, the world was really completely different.
While Tom was sipping boiled water and "supervising" the work of the beautiful girls with outstanding figures, a muscular man with a height of seven feet and a weight of 250 pounds walked into the president's office.
This strong man was of course John Mueller. John walked up to Tom, bent down and whispered a few words in Tom's ear, while Tom listened to every word of John with a smile.
"Cute Governor, I'm sorry, it seems I need to go back to Houston first. See you next time?"
"Mr. Smith, what are you talking about? What are you sorry for? Your busy schedule is good news for all Texans."
"Cheers! To the people of Texas!"
"Cheers! To the people of Texas!"
Tom took John out of the governor's office. Not long after Tom walked out of the governor's office, Governor James angrily threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
"Whether it's those farmers or this fifteen-year-old factory owner, none of these congressmen take me seriously!"
"As the governor of Texas, does it really make sense for me to be the governor of Texas?"
Governor James slumped down on the chair in his office. The governor was really tired.
A governor who loves the Republican state of Texas deeply, but is completely ignored, lives an even more tiring life.
The only good thing is that Tom is still a "conscientious" capitalist.
"This governor is just a showman and has no passion for loving the state."
"He was rewarded with tens of thousands of tax dollars, but all of them were divided up by government workers. He couldn't even build roads."
"Calling him little cutie is really appropriate. He is only suitable as a doll vase."
When Tom walked out of the governor's office, he was talking and laughing with John next to him in the corridor.
"This is Texas, and I am the master of the state here."
