Chapter 1 Tom is gone

March 1, 1866,

United States of America,

empire state,

new york city,

In the suburban square, there are two exhibition stages: east and west:

On the west platform, a group of workers in ragged clothes and "full of indignation" were shouting:

"Texas, USA, Texas, USA, the largest leather factory - Hero Tannery has closed down!"

"The bastard boss Tom was eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. He owed 3.5 billion and ran away with his sister-in-law."

"We have no choice but to earn low wages with fur."

"The original price is more than three hundred, more than two hundred, more than one hundred furs, all of them are twenty yuan, all of them are twenty yuan!"

"Tom bastard, you are not a human being. We have worked hard for you for more than half a year."

"You don't pay wages, but you pay me back my hard-earned money!"

"Repay me my hard-earned money!"

East booth:

It was a group of coquettish female salesmen who were trying their best to promote the fertilizers in their hands, and from time to time they made some provocative moves to tease the farmers in the audience.

"Super Fertilizer-Jin Ke La!"

"Jinkeli fertilizer, no loss, no evaporation, zero waste!"

"Jinjia fertilizer can absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium below two meters high!"

"One bag of golden fertilizer can be used as two bags for spreading!"

"America needs golden fertilizer! This is our own fertilizer as Americans!"

In the factory area not far away, there is a conference room in the office building of a fertilizer factory.

Sitting on the main seat is seventeen-year-old Tom, who is also the current president of the company.

"Brother-in-law, do you really want to sell all the shares in the company under your name?"

"We are developing well in the New York area, why do you want to go to the Dixie area to develop? Those rednecks are a bunch of shit."

(The northern part of the United States is called Yankee Territory, and the southern part is called Dixie Territory)

"What's so good about Texas is that it just joined the United States a few years ago. Wouldn't it be nice for us to stay in New York?"

"..."

Tom Smith ignored the criticism from these "relatives" and sat alone in the main seat of the conference room, recalling the past.

He is a time traveler and has traveled through time more than once.

Tom was just a junior college student at Tianchao University, majoring in chemical engineering.

In his previous life, he traveled through time and became the child of a farmer in Texas, USA. He started from scratch and became the richest man in the world. He was a man of influence in Texas, the United States, and even the whole world. He was so happy.

Unforeseen circumstances occurred, and I didn't expect that at my most glorious moment, I would travel through time again.

Time traveled and became a stowaway from the Second German Empire to the United States.

It’s a tough start, but the traverser doesn’t give up.

After about a year, Tom relied on his chemical engineering knowledge from his first life and business experience from his second life.

The founder of a 30-square-meter barber shop owned by his brother-in-law and developed into a company worth tens of millions of dollars.

Now, it's Tom's last day in New York.

Tom is going to Texas, to Houston, and back to the Dixie region of America to create a new world!

"I will leave New York in a carriage this afternoon. It's up to you. I won't stay in New York another day."

"If you don't want to go, you can stay. I just said that I will go back to Houston. As for you, haha..."

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

Tom only needs a tool to be obedient, not a thorn in the side of random thoughts.

Tom ignored the discussion of the board of directors and walked out of the meeting room, leaving only a determined figure behind.

"What a bullshit bastard! If I hadn't taken him in, he would have been taken to the factory to work as a coolie. Why are you pretending to be 2,500,000 to 80,000 yuan now?"

As soon as Tom left, his brother-in-law got a little unhappy and started scolding him in the board meeting.

Some members of the board of directors are family members of Tom's brother-in-law, and some are wealthy people who received subsequent financing.

These people have long been dissatisfied with Tom's "one word" in the joint-stock company. They just tolerate Tom because the company has been making profits.

"Tom, Tom, what a poor name... You can kill five people named Tom with just one shot in New York. If it weren't for the support of our family, they would have starved to death on the streets of New York. Why are you so crazy!"

"He's not from our family, he's just a woman's younger brother. He just knows a little bit about how to make fertilizers. What's so great about him."

"But we can't keep this bastard if he insists on leaving."

In just one year, Tom's brother-in-law's family has transformed from a group of barbers into a wealthy family with an average assets of US$100,000 per person.

They have forgotten who made them suddenly "rich".

"Gentlemen, it is a trivial matter for President Tom to resign and sell his shares. We can still produce Jinkela fertilizer. The problem is, what if he hides his secret and goes to Texas to produce better fertilizer?"

"Even if President Tom doesn't hide his secrets, with his chemical talent, it's hard to guarantee that he won't launch better fertilizers in the future."

"By then, it will be difficult to say whether your fertilizer factory's position in the industry will be..."

The speaker was a representative from Chase Bank, which also had a stake in the company. This representative did not want people like Tom to go to the Dixie area.

Texas is not New York. The former is an area beyond the control of the Morgan consortium.

"Boom!"

"Then do him! It's over once and for all!"

Tom's brother-in-law slammed his right hand on the conference table. Blinded by profit, he no longer cared about family ties.

What's more, Tom and I have no blood relationship.

"His shitty sister also did it together! She gave birth to two daughters for me! Can't I have a son? I have long wanted to change women. Let's die together!"

Not only Tom, but also Tom's sister had to die. The brother-in-law, who was red-eyed because of his eagerness, wanted to deal with the siblings together and exchange them for wives who could give birth to sons.

Not only the brother-in-law, but also all shareholders, guided by the words of Chase Bank representatives, felt that it was a wise move to get rid of Tom.

"Isn't he going to leave in a carriage in the afternoon? Prepare explosives to blow them up!"

"The amount of explosives is larger, and this guy likes to confuse the public with three or four carriages. I will blow them all up!"

"The benefits are indispensable to you!"

The brother-in-law directed the mafia under his command and asked them to deal with Tom. The brother-in-law knew very well Tom's habits and even liked to send a few empty carriages to prevent him from being assassinated.

"The Americas are so beautiful that they have brought countless empires to their knees."

"Charlemagne, Caesar, slightly failed in domestic affairs, Habsburg, lack of military virtue."

"The great emperor of that generation, Emperor Napoleon, only knew how to restore and establish dictatorship."

"America! Your Emperor! Is back!"

Tom stood by the window, looking at the majestic waves of the North Atlantic outside the window, and couldn't help but compose a "liric" in Chinese to express his heroic ambitions.

"In my last life, I was the richest man in the world! In this life, I want to be the emperor of the United States!"

"And like Napoleon, he must become the emperor voted for by all the people of the United States!"

It's a pity that no one here can understand his lofty ideals.

"Boom!"

Explosions and fire coming from all directions interrupted Tom's thoughts.
