"Woke up, woke up!"
"He's awake! Oh my God, his eyes are moving!"
"God! Jesus!"
"Hey, Bill, I can't believe you woke him up! God bless, you finally ......"
"Scrooge ...... can you hear my voice?"
......
When Luo Yong tried very hard to open his eyes, he heard a large group of people around him chattering something in English. The sound was so noisy that it gave Luo Yong a headache. He reluctantly opened his eyes, well, a large group of Europeans is forming a circle around him, surrounded by the middle, each of their necks is stretched long.
At this time, the midday sun was shining through the gap between the heads of the circle and shone on Luo Yong's face. The sunlight was so strong that Luo Yong just opened his eyes a slit and had to close them again, and at the same time, he wanted to raise his hands to block the overly strong sunlight. However, he was not able to raise his hand, instead of this action also made him dizzy, almost passed out again.
"Here comes the stretcher ...... be careful, John, give me a hand, lift his head...... be careful, not too hard ...... Cal, lift his upon his hips, not from the waist, from the hips! You idiot, don't you even know where the buttocks are? ...... Be gentle! You'll hurt him again."
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
......
The first thing that he tried very hard to figure out these days was that he had the misfortune to become a member of the crossing army.
Unfortunate? Yes, very unfortunate. Many people think that crossing is a low-risk, high-yield business. You see, which poor loser after crossing, does not immediately get a set of protagonist templates, from then on good luck? To practice, there is a grandfather came out, with what the gods of the absolute, kowtowing to beg you to learn, that attitude, then the school in this realm of the people's teachers who begged you to learn well absolutely a thousand times more grandchildren; tired of not wanting to practice well? It does not matter, the old grandfather will beg you, begging you to let him give you all his centuries and thousands of years of power. Want a beautiful woman? That is a tiger torso a shock, immediately there is a large number of excellent beauty backward to come, from Laurie to the imperial sister, from innocent girls to mature wives, there should be everything, all backward. Anyway, one is "with your dowry, with your sister, sitting in that cloud boat too".
But the truth is not necessarily so. This is like speculating on stocks, or gambling on rocks, we hear the stories of "successful people", as for those who jumped off a building of the unlucky, who cares who he is? And the danger of crossing is much greater than speculating on stocks and gambling on rocks. It is not on the such as "a nymphomaniac girl woke up and found herself crossed into a beautiful woman, and poetry, song, and music will not, the piano, calligraphy, and painting is not a master. She is trying to put on a wonderful harem ** biography, and suddenly someone came to urge: 'Do not go out quickly to give a toast to General Wang.'" Or "a loser man woke up and found himself literary and musical, and now is a square, in front of a guqin, elegantly excited, playing a song like flowing clouds, skills amazed the audience. Amid the beauty, a military general said: 'Is the song of Guangling finished?'" The most unlucky and unpleasant things, really wear to the ancient times when social productivity is extremely underdeveloped and it is difficult to communicate because of the change of ancient and modern language, when you think about it, it is the same as throwing you directly to the DRC, Rwanda and other black African regions and what is the difference?

After spending a few days, Luo Yong figured out that he had now traveled to the United States in 1855 and had become a kid named Scrooge McDonald who was just 11 years old. McDonald's little kid. A few days ago, he fell from a tree and died. Fortunately, the neighbor, Bill Rockefeller, who was said to be a medicine expert (of course, some people say that he was a fraud who sold "special medicine for cancer"), was at home. Rockefeller happened to be at home, and with some help, he was rescued.
Of course, Scrooge's parents are now extremely grateful to Bill. They were ashamed that they had believed the rumors that Bill was a charlatan with no moral values and had even slandered his reputation in front of others more than once. When Bill woke Scrooge up, Scrooge's father, Joseph, apologized to Bill in front of the crowd in a most sincere manner.
Beale was indeed very knowledgeable, and when Scrooge showed up in the following days with strange phenomena, such as suddenly not recognizing people or having a strange accent, Joseph asked his neighbor Beale for advice while he sent for a priest to see if something was wrong. Beale told Joseph to relax, telling him that it was not surprising that people who had fallen and injured their heads would often have similar symptoms. This statement was also approved by Pastor Stephen, who arrived later, so Joseph and his wife Laura were relieved. They admired Bill on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were not surprised by Luo Yong's various oddities since then, and at most, they just muttered: "Poor Scrooge, I hope he gets better soon."
A week later, Scrooge was able to get up. MacDonald was finally able to get up and go out of bed. After spending two days running around, Luo Yong - Scrooge was finally convinced that he had traveled to the nineteenth century in the United States.
To say, Luo Yong's luck is not bad for the travelers. His father Joseph was a good shoemaker, and his shoes were beautiful, comfortable, and durable, and had a very good reputation in the neighborhood. With Joseph's craftsmanship, the family's life is not bad. Every other week, the family can still eat meat. To say the least, the neighboring Beale family is better. As the youngest son, Scrooge, is the most beloved child in the family, whether it is the father Joseph, or mother Laura, or has begun to help his father make shoes older brother Carol are very much loved him.
However, this is not the most satisfying part of Luo Yong, such a standard of living, no matter what, still can not be compared with Luo Yong's original standard of living. What satisfied Luo Yong was his neighboring letter, Rockefeller. And Luo Yong is now sure that this Rockefeller, is the Rockefeller that will become a legend.
Neighbor Bill Rockefeller had three sons. Rockefeller had three sons and two daughters (actually three, but one of them died at the age of two), their eldest son was called John, the second son was called William, the third son was called Frank; the eldest daughter was called Lucy, the second daughter was called Mary. This is not the Rockefeller family, which will become famous in the world, right? According to history, John? Rockefeller will become the oil king, he founded the Standard Oil Company at the most powerful time, controlling more than 80 percent of the United States, more than half of the world's oil. And he became the first in the history of the United States personal assets of more than $ 1 billion super-rich, and by the time of his death, his wealth of up to $ 1.4 billion!

This $1.4 billion is not the $1.4 billion of the 21st century. The ratio of this money to the GDP of the United States, which was already the world's number one economic power, was as high as 1:65, and his wealth was as high as $255 billion, based on a total U.S. GDP of $16.56 trillion in 2013!
Of course, the Rockefeller family is not yet rich, the future richest man in the United States, the oil king John Rockefeller, is still in the old days. Rockefeller is still honestly in high school. But this is not a good opportunity? As long as you hold on to this thigh, the future of the day will be great hope.
Scrooge was four years younger than John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller was four years younger, but because of the good family conditions, so Scrooge began to study a little younger than John. As a result, the two are now attending the same high school. Only John is a grade higher than Scrooge. The two of them used to go to school together every day.
After resting at home for two more days to make sure he was okay, Scrooge finally had to go to school. After breakfast, John Rockefeller, a neighbor, came to call him. The next man, John Rockefeller, came to call him.
"Scrooge, it's time for you to go to school today!" The two walked out together, "My mom told me to take care of you on the way, he always worries that my dad is not very reliable ...... Well, let's not talk about this ...... I heard that I heard that you have forgotten a lot of things, those things you learned in school still remember?"
"I've forgotten some, but I remember most of it. Even if you don't remember, it's good to relearn. I think if you work hard, there is no reason why you can't learn." To Scrooge, who spent his life as an engineer, it seems that what was taught in nineteenth-century American high schools should not be difficult to deal with.
John Rockefeller suddenly stood still. Rockefeller suddenly stood still, staring at Scrooge up and down for half a day, then said, "Strange, can a fall turn a person into a completely different person? You are now much more stable than before, well, also more confident! It's like you've grown up all of a sudden."
It was a strange feeling to see a 16-year-old kid saying that he had grown up all of a sudden. Even though he knew that the half-grown kid in front of him was the future number one billionaire in American history, and even though he knew that he would drop out of high school this year and go to business school to learn bookkeeping and then start on the road to legend, Scrooge still felt strange.
The road to school is long, and it takes almost half an hour to walk there, and the two of them talk while walking.
"Well ...... Scrooge, there is one thing I don't know if you remember?" John? Rockefeller suddenly said.
"What is it?" Scrooge asked.
"I knew you had forgotten." John Rockefeller shook his head and said. Rockefeller shook his head, then said, "I'm not going to continue in high school, I'm going to go to the business school in town to learn bookkeeping, I think it's more practical for me. You know, our family is not in good shape. My father has not been very reliable, although he did well when he saved you this time, he ...... anyway, as the eldest son, I must take up the responsibility of supporting the family as soon as possible."
"I seem to know a little." I seem to remember that the tuition of this kind of school is not cheap, John, you have so much money?"
"My father promised to lend me $40, but he asked me for fifteen percent interest. Damn, this interest rate is much higher than the bank! He just bullied me into not being able to borrow money from the bank. I was wondering if you could ask your family to lend me some money, just a portion, and when I get to work, I can pay you back at the bank's interest rate, no, a little higher than the bank's interest rate, eleven percent. How about that?" John Rockefeller was expectant. Rockefeller looked at Scrooge's eyes with anticipation.
