Chapter 64 The hero company is about to transform

October 2, 1867

Texas,

Houston,

smith farm,

Tom Smith's office.

Tom sat back on a leather boss's chair and leisurely looked at the latest information on the gay region in his hand:

"good!"

"Corpse littered the fields, the people were in dire straits, they exchanged their children for food, and riots continued..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't know, I thought I was in the Earthly Dynasty."

"No, there are no "first-class foreign masters" here who seek authority, and they cannot be compared to the Earthly Dynasty."

Tom leaned on the sofa and thought seriously about the current situation in his hometown in Dichao and how it was different from the gay area.

"Wait a minute, if there is a person now who has foreign currency, wouldn't he be a "first-class person" with the Yang guys?"

"That's not right either. Those who have foreign currency will be brutally eaten by gay Yang. Gay Yang is not as easy to talk to as my fellow countrymen."

Looking at the "Gee Yang Territory Report" in the newspaper, Tom couldn't help but applaud, and even thought about what consequences it would have if such a large-scale economic crisis occurred in the country.

In fact, there is no need for Tom to think about it. Even if there is no economic crisis in the Qing Dynasty, ordinary people are still living like this.

A soft knock on the door reached Tom's ears, interrupting Tom's fantasy:

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Enter."

The three people who responded were John, Johnny and Rocky.

Tom looked at his three core senior executives in front of him, took out a few documents, and handed them to the three of them.

"Let's do what Mr. Yang did and shut down part of the factory first." Tom pointed to the "Partial Factory Suspension Plan in Smith Factory Area" in his hand and ordered the three of them to close part of the Smith factory.

"Is this really good?" Loki asked hesitantly.

"What if we don't do this? We can't support these millions of employees. Labor alone costs one million US dollars a day or 60 million US dollars a month. As long as the plan works and our transformation is successful, they will become an independent company in no time."

Employees who are paid wages." Tom still insisted on firing these employees.

Tom plans to take this opportunity to completely turn these employees into "slaves" who don't even have to pay a salary.

"I trust you, Tom, you just need to tell us what we need to do." John was the first to stand up and express his support for Tom.

The other two also nodded.

"Listen carefully..."

Tom has made plans to lay off these employees "voluntarily".

The other three people's eyes widened when they heard Tom's plan.

This was the first time the three of them heard that Tom had devised such a heinous plan. Even John, known as the "Three-Fingered Devil", was hesitant.

"Tom, do you really want to do this?"

Tom ignored the shock of the three of them, took out the gold fake cigarette and smoked the filtered air heavily.

As Tom strained his lungs, he felt the passage of time and felt alive.

Tom looked out the window at the bustling downtown Houston.

He nodded slightly.

John no longer hesitated and walked out of Tom Smith's office with the remaining two people, deciding to implement this plan that he thought was outrageous.

Tom put his legs on his desk, holding a gold fake cigarette in his mouth, thinking about how many people would die in this economic crisis.

"Anyway, there are already a steady stream of employees coming to us. With these millions of people, it doesn't hurt to sacrifice a little, right?"

"Die, die, all of them die."

"Especially those white people who want a raise in wages, go to hell."

——————

The next day, numerous Texas government staff entered the Smith factory areas in major Smith factories in Texas with injunctions and search warrants.

In a certain Smith Factory area, a middle-level leader of the Texas government, together with hundreds of state government employees working at the grassroots level, began to continuously seal down the hero factory.

"Quickly, shut down these illegal factories!"

"This is a seal order signed by Governor Andrew Hamilton, sealing the Hero Company factory."

"These factories are suspected of illegal production, and the Texas government, on behalf of the federal government, has completely shut down these illegal factories."

"Hurry, hurry, prepare the sealing slip at the back in advance."

Every factory seemed to have agreed in advance that they would not resist the government officials' seizure and even helped the government officials evacuate their employees who were working.

Countless employees who were forced to stop working were dissatisfied and talked to each other:

"Why should the state government close the factory?"

"State governments are bullshit! They are slaves who obey the federal government!"

"We obviously work hard, but these governments make us unemployed! We want to protest, march, and demand the election of a new governor and state government!"

"Let's get our jobs back and support our families again!"

Among employees in Texas, a large number of protest organizations emerged because of the government's large-scale closure of the Smith factory area.

Led by "some people", these organizations took the free train service provided by hero company and came to Austin, the capital of Texas. They gathered under the state government to protest against the state government.

A "cowardly act" of "submission" to the federal government.

Governor James is a little confused. In recent years, as the hero company has continued to grow, his life has become more and more prosperous, and his approval rate in public opinion polls is close to 100%.

This sudden workers' demonstration left Governor James confused.

Governor James carefully recalled what happened during this time?

Obviously nothing happened.

"What's going on? Why are so many workers here now making trouble and demonstrating?"

"Looking at their work uniforms, they should all be employees of Hero Company, right? Aren't their employees the most satisfied with the Texas government?"

"What exactly is in the documents you sent over recently?"

“Is there a bill that offends these employees?”

Governor James could only question the staff around him. There were usually a large number of documents that required the governor's signature, and Andrew Hamilton could not read them all. He could only ask the staff to select some important bills that required his own decision-making.

What to do with the unimportant ones? Leave them all to the staff to decide, and I am only responsible for signing.

Governor James immediately thought that some of the bills he signed unintentionally may have touched the interests of employees.

"Boom!! Boom! Boom!!"

A knock on the door that was about to break interrupted Governor James' questioning.

Several senior state government officials walked into state government offices with bad expressions.

An official who seemed to be the leader stood in front of Governor James, took out a few pieces of paper, and read them out in front of James.

"James W. Throckmorton, you are suspected of corruption and bribery, harboring and conniving underworld organizations, the crime of unknown sources of huge amounts of property, and the crime of misappropriation of public funds. This is an arrest warrant signed by the Texas state government."

"James W. Throckmorton, just now, the state Senate has voted to impeach you. You are no longer the governor."

An official handed James two documents, which were an arrest warrant and an impeachment warrant against James.

James was a little confused, feeling that the whole world had betrayed him overnight.

"Bang!"

A gunshot sounded from outside the window.
