"John, you know, our family situation may be a little more generous than your family, after all, our family is my father and my brother two people in the money. However, $40 is not a small amount for us. I didn't have that much money personally, so I had to ask my parents for help. I don't know how much money they can come up with, but I will try to convince them as much as I can. But, John, you have to tell me first, if you get this money after you finish business school, how do you plan to pay it back." Scrooge said.

"Scrooge, you've changed a lot, you're thinking about so many things. I couldn't think about so many things when I was your age." John Rockefeller said. Rockefeller said, "In the future, if I want to be my boss and start a company, I will find you as a partner. I have investigated, now many new companies, other staff are relatively easy to find. But there is a relative shortage of people who can keep accounts, so if I finish my business school studies, I will have no problem finding a job. Nowadays, a person who has mastered basic bookkeeping skills can usually get a monthly salary ranging from $5-$6 in the first year. I don't spend more than $2 a month, so, in just over a year, I'll be able to pay off my debts."

"That sounds good." Scrooge said, "I think I'm convinced. I'll convince my parents. ......"

By this time, the high school was not far in front of them. The two men walked through the doors of the school until they reached the classroom of Scrooge's class. John Rockefeller handed Scrooge the school bag he had been carrying: "Well, here we are. Oh, by the way, I have not told anyone about this, for the time being, so you can keep it a secret for me ......"

The first thing I did was nod my head and walk into the classroom. This time there are already some people in the classroom, but the teacher has not yet come. As soon as he saw Scrooge come in, the classroom immediately became lively.

"Hey, Scrooge! I heard you fell out of a tree, you idiot?" A boy with some red freckles on his nose yelled out first.

"Scrooge, it looks like your family's leather is sturdy!" A light-haired boy reached out and squeezed Scrooge's face, saying, "Look, it's thick!"

"Stop it, Tom!" A small boy stood up, "Bullying even the sick, you've got no talent!"

The light-haired kid named Tom looked at the little guy, turned his mouth up, and said, "Carter, you don't know anything about humor, I was just joking with Scrooge, no offense."

"You're just bullying Scrooge into being sick!" The small man called Carter coldly said, "And you, Rom, you are also, also a bully of the sick, no good thing!"

"I don't want to be bothered with a humorless guy like you!" The child with freckles on his nose also sat down resentfully.

The little man looked at Scrooge again and said, "Scrooge, I heard that you hurt your head and can't remember some things. Is that right?"

"Yes," Scrooge replied.

"Then do you remember where you were sitting? Do you remember what we were called?" Carter then asked.

Scrooge shook his head.

"Don't you remember anything?" Carter shook his head, "Then do you remember how to do the damn math problems?"

"I think so." Because there is no damn math in this era. Therefore, Scrooge is still confident in doing the mathematical problems of this era in high school.

"That's great!" Carter showed a smile, "take the time to make up for not learning - a month after the final exam depends on you! ...... Okay, guys, now, I'm going to give you each three minutes to introduce yourselves to our Scrooge. Well, let's start with me!"

"My name is Carter, I have a strange disease, that is, I have no pain sensation." Carter began to introduce himself, "My greatest strength is the strength, will fight. In addition to sports, my grades are not too good in all subjects, at most just passing the way. And I've been around for a long time, you know, I'm a very good person to deal with."

After Carter introduced himself, he looked around the classroom and said, "Tom, it's you next!"

"Well, I'm Tom, and we've been friends for a long time. I like to joke around sometimes, but as you know, I don't mean any harm. Well, I'm counting on you for the final exam!"

"Jessica, next to you ......"

"My name is Jessica, and my dad is ......."

Perhaps it was because there were not many people studying at that time, although people kept arriving one after another, but the total number of students was not large. So the introductions were over just before the class started.

The first class was on mathematics, which was the original Scrooge's specialty. As expected, the math in this era is very simple compared to the current Scrooge, so simple that Scrooge can just glance at it and give the answer. Inevitably, such a class will be distracted, Scrooge with a hand on the cheek, as if looking at the blackboard, but in his mind began to calculate his future path.

"The Civil War seems to be about to break out, right? If I remember correctly, it should be around 1861. War is a good opportunity to make a fortune, think about what you can do to make a fortune? If memory serves, Morgan's first ill-gotten gains were made by selling gold during the Civil War, right? But ...... or forget it, I'm not like Morgan, which social background, always be able to know all kinds of insider information first, to play speculation on Wall Street, only afraid of how to die do not know. Still, the reliable industry to come ......

...... oil should be a good deal. The South began the Civil War, without the South's agriculture, the city even used for lighting lamp oil are gone, all the ships were used in the war, whaling ships are no exception, so when the lubricating oil with whale blubber is also gone, almost all of these rely on the extraction and refining of oil to solve. Rockefeller on this rich, clinging to his thigh, should also be able to get some light, but, Rockefeller this guy ...... seems to be the history of his best is to kick partners out of the company, right? Even if you are a traveler, there is no guarantee that there will not be a day when ...... you can simply build weapons! The company's main research project before he crossed over was a little too advanced in this day and age, but he was still very familiar with firearms, as a side business to cheat foreigners, what bolt-action sniper guns, pump-action shotguns, various automatic rifles, machine guns, and various cottage versions of automatic pistols and rotary pistols, he was still quite familiar with. As long as there is the first start-up capital, it is not impossible to copy these things out, just do not know how the material level of this era, but considering that it does not take long, it seems to be 1866, the Germans made the Mauser rifle, completed the leap from the modern rifle to the modern rifle. In this way, even if there is difficulty in making a self-propelled rifle, it is still possible to make an old-fashioned Mauser, well, even if it is an old-fashioned Mauser 1871, it is much stronger than those front-bore guns used by the Americans in the Civil War ......

However, it seems that the breach gun thing has been rejected by some old curmudgeons, I remember that in Europe, a big man even declared that he would rather lose the war than use the breach gun such "unmanly" weapons, of course, it may be that these old fogeys received money from those who made the breach gun business. If the latter is the case, I am afraid that I will also encounter such a problem in the United States. If you don't solve it, you can't effectively use the war to make money ...... Or, after this thing is built, sell it to the South first, as long as the South can use these things to beat the shit out of the Yankees, the North will purchase it in large quantities, there is a saying how to say it? What's the saying? 'An arms dealer who doesn't sell weapons to fight his homeland is not a real arms dealer'? Well, we must first let the Yankees shed enough blood, then let the Southerners shed more blood, and then we will have a chance ......"

"Scrooge, you answer this question ...... Scrooge! Scrooge! What are you doing!" In the case of Scrooge thinking fiercely wild, a voice in his ears sounded.

The mathematics teacher Rodriguez was standing next to Scrooge because Scrooge had been staring at the blackboard, Rodriguez's teacher did not immediately notice Scrooge was lost in thought, he came up with a slightly difficult problem on the blackboard, casually pointing out a few students, is the stupid wooden answer, so Rodriguez teacher habitually called out Scrooge's name. During this call, Rodriguez's teacher realized that Scrooge was lost in thought.

"Ah, I... I was thinking." Scrooge was startled.

Rodriguez's teacher's attitude is gentle, because he knows that Scrooge's brain has just fallen, seems to have memory problems, plus so many missed classes, such a question, maybe he can not answer immediately. The anger he just had was just a habitual gesture - facing those little bastards, without the habit of acting angry, there is simply no way to suppress those guys.

"Oh, Scrooge, did you understand what was said today?" Mr. Rodriguez said gently.

"Yeah, I guess so," Scrooge said.

"Can you do the problems on the board?"

"Oh, the problems on the board?" The problem on the board was a very common application problem about speed, distance, and time, which was only difficult in the latter days of China, but only in the upper elementary grades.

"One hour and 15 minutes." Scrooge came up with an answer almost instantly, but instead of saying it, he shook his head - he didn't want to appear too special right now.

"Well, that's all right, Scrooge, after all, you've missed a lot of class. Sit down and listen." Mr. Rodriguez said.

...... The first day of class went by without a hitch, and unlike ordinary travelers, Scrooge behaved very mediocre and did not do anything to shock his buddies. Because Scrooge knows, this is not meaningful, their stage is not here, only five and a half years from the Civil War, they do not have much time to waste in such a school, perhaps they should also and Rockefeller to drop out of school to start a business.
