At 3:00 p.m. that day, with the signing of the agreement by Stru, the Stru shotgun factory became history. But for Scrooge, it was far from a time to celebrate. The bank loan was about to expire, and if Scrooge used all the money in his hand to repay the loan, he would have almost no money left for production. Therefore, in the repayment of loans at the same time, he must also borrow more money from the bank. On the one hand, he convinced Rockefeller to invest $2,000 in his new factory, on the other hand, a week ago, he and Warren? On the other hand, a week ago, he got in touch with Warren Delano, hoping to get financial support from him. To convince Warren? To convince Warren Delano to provide him with the money, he showed Warren Delano what he had. To convince Warren Delano to provide him with the money, he showed him his patent for the rotary locking chamber. Scrooge believed that Warren Delano, who was an adventurer, would see the value of this item, and that with it, the rifle could shoot several times faster with guaranteed power.

Warren Delano did praise Scrooge for this patent, but he told Scrooge that his money had just been invested in a new adventure - he was trying to acquire a railroad. So for the time being, he can't get the money to help Scrooge. But he can help Scrooge contact a good banker, the banker called Junius. Morgan.

Junius Morgan. He was the founder of the famous J.P. Morgan syndicate, which would become the heart of the U.S. financial industry in the years to come. Warren Delano told Scrooge that if he hoped to get money from Morgan, he had better come up with something tangible to show Junius Morgan as soon as possible. Morgan. So the day after he got to the factory, Scrooge recalled some of his most skilled workers and began making the world's first rifle with a rotating back-draw mechanism according to his drawings. It was almost a copy of the 1871 Mauser rifle.

After three days of work by a group of the best workers, three of these rifles were finally handed over to Scrooge.

"It's heavy." Holding the Macdonald Model 1857 rifle, which is more than one meter three meters long and weighs nearly five kilograms, Scrooge could only sigh.

"It's not heavy for a rifle, but for you, Scrooge, it's probably a little heavy. Well, you'll have to grow up a little bit to be able to carry this thing." Rockefeller, who was invited to watch from the side, snatched the rifle from Scrooge's hand and teased Scrooge while striking a very unorthodox shooting stance.

"Well, don't mess with this thing, let Mr. Kerry try to shoot first," Scrooge said.

"All right." Rockefeller knew he could not do the job he had never fired a gun before. So he handed the gun to Kerry, who was standing next to him.

Kerry is an old technician in the factory, and has a good shot, before the gun factory new guns are mostly by him to test fire. He silently took the rifle from Rockefeller's hand, skillfully pulled the bolt, loaded it into the chamber, and then put the butt firmly on his right shoulder and pointed the muzzle steadily at the target, which was placed a hundred meters away.

"Bang!" A puff of smoke came out of the 11mm barrel, and Kerry lowered the gun and looked over at the target.

Carter, who was standing with a monocular on one side of the target, took one look and immediately reported the score: "9 rings!"

It was a pretty good score, but just one shot doesn't tell you much, because unexpected luck always exists. Scrooge knew that in World War II, a German Tiger tank hit a T-34 tank in motion at a distance of 3,700 meters on its first shot. This achievement was not even possible for the M-1A2 tanks decades later. In the Battle of Kursk, a Soviet 203mm gunshot a shell through the unclosed hatch of a moving Ferdinand self-propelled anti-tank gun from a distance of 12 kilometers, an accuracy that even modern missiles could not achieve. Such an example does not explain the problem.

"Bang!" Kerry fired another shot.

"That fast?" Carter, who was in charge of the target, was shocked, and he hurriedly raised the telescope: "8 rings!"

"Bang!" "9 rings!" This time, just as the gun went off, Carter reported the number of rings.

......

Kerry shot ten shots in one breath, the results are basically in the eight to nine rings, one shot also shot a ten-ring score. If you say that a shot can be by luck, ten shots photosrow have shot such results, which can not be said that the performance of this gun is quite stable.

Kerry stopped and someone took advantage of the time to change the target paper.

"Mr. Kerry, take a break, then shoot ten rounds as fast as you can and see what you can do," Scrooge said to Kerry.

"Boss, no need to take a break, as long as they change the target paper," Kerry said hurriedly. Scrooge was the new boss, and although he was very kind to himself and always addressed himself politely with the word "sir", he could not lose his sense of decency, nor could he show any bad expressions just because Scrooge was a minor. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.

"Then it's hard for you." The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services. Many bosses felt that they supported the workers and that the workers should be grateful to themselves and should kneel to thank themselves for giving them a chance to be exploited. Scrooge did not oppose such propaganda because it was good for him. But he also knew that it was just propaganda. Let the workers believe it is enough, they should not also believe it. Because once you believe in this, it is easy to unconsciously front of the workers to put it on a high shelf, and this is not good for improving relations with workers. Scrooge believes that a better relationship between bosses and workers can always bring about an increase in labor efficiency to a certain extent, and if this can be done without spending money, why not?

At this time, the target paper has been replaced. Kerry stood up and got ready.

"Start!" Scrooge ordered.

"Bang, bang, bang ......" In no time at all, Kerry had fired all ten rounds.

"Two minutes, that's good, ten rounds in two minutes." Scrooge looked at his watch and praised him.

"Two rounds, nine rings, three rounds, eight rings, four rounds, seven rings, and one round, three rings." Carter also reported the number of rings. This was a far cry from the precision shooting of the front-loading rifles of the time.

"All right, let's go back 100 meters and see how this gun does," Scrooge said.

......

A full day of testing showed that this is a groundbreaking rifle. It can still hit a human-sized target quite accurately even at a distance of 400 meters. And the rate of fire was far faster than those using the Minnie rounds in the foregut. The rate of fire is almost five to six times faster. This is a great gun that is unmatched in both accuracy and speed.

Scrooge chose the best of the three guns and took them with him to New York to visit the famous Junius Morgan. He was going to take it to New York to visit the famous Mr. Junius Morgan to get his financial support.

......

Through Warren Delano and Mr. Junius Morgan After making an appointment with Mr. Morgan, Scrooge took Kerry and Carter on a train to New York. Rockefeller also wanted to see Wall Street. At this time, his mother suddenly became ill, so he had to stay behind.

After a day's train ride, he finally arrived in New York. The bullock-like speed of the trains in this era made Scrooge miss the "River Crab" that he used to ride in his previous life. The first time Scrooge came to New York, Kerry had been here once before, but stayed for a short time, so he felt very unfamiliar with New York, but Carter had been to New York a lot when he was a sailor, and every time he returned from Europe, he almost always had to hang out in New York, so he was very familiar with New York, and could give Scrooge as a guide.

They first found a small hotel in New York and stayed there. Scrooge was eager to try the upscale hotels of this era, but, well, money was tight, so, under Carter's guidance, he found another cheap place to stay.

The next morning, they came to Morgan's company, according to the appointment to visit Junius. Morgan. But it was not Junius Morgan who received them. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of services to the public.

JP Morgan wore a hot straight suit, leather shoes also shined, shiny light hair backward combed, a look is a rich playboy look. But Scrooge would not dare to be deceived by his appearance. He knew that the man in front of him was indeed a playboy, but he was also the most legendary figure in the history of American finance.

"You're Scrooge?" JP Morgan seems to be very interested in Scrooge, "I heard about your performance in the Chicago grain futures market. Although there are still many problems with the approach, you have a good vision. This is the first time I've found someone who could make money like this when they were younger than I was. I hope I can make a lot of money with you in the future."

At this time, a beautiful maid in a maid's outfit came over and poured a cup of coffee for JP Morgan, and the whole parlor was immediately filled with a strong aroma.

"Ah, Eugenie, your coffee is getting better and better." JP Morgan said with a smile while putting his hand on the maid's buttocks and squeezing it lightly. The maid giggled and ducked to the side.

"Well, do you guys want a drink? We'll talk while we drink." Jp Morgan said.
