《1855 American Tycoon》Chapter 92: Area 51
Advertisement
Scrooge has always been a person full of action. Once he had an idea, he immediately acted. So a few days later, a document entitled "McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company Workers' Association Constitution" was drafted by his lawyers.
"Well, very good. Thank you for your work, Mr. Romers," Scrooge said to Lawyer Romers, who was standing before him.
Lawyer Ramesh is still very young, less than thirty years old at this time. But he is now well-known in the entire American lawyer circle, because he is proficient in juggling legal terms, and is good at using various means to influence and even mislead the jury, and has won a series of near-impossible victories in court.
Lawyers Scrooge and Rohmes worked together very early. As early as when Scrooge sought out the shotgun factory, he had some dealings with this lawyer Daguo. Of course, at that time, Lawyer Luo Maisi was just a newcomer who was not too conspicuous. Later, with the establishment of the Blackwater Company, Scrooge had more dealings with Lawyer Lomes. At this time, Lawyer Lomes got into big trouble because he was found out trying to help criminals forge evidence in a criminal case. Although Ramesh relied on his profound legal knowledge and his three-inch tongue that could turn straw into gold, he finally exonerated himself and was exempted from being disqualified as a lawyer. But Lawyer Ramesh, who has ruined his reputation, is having a hard time.
After carefully studying the failure of Lawyer Romers, Scrooge concluded that Lawyer Romers was worth investing in. Scrooge believes that studying a case of a person's failure is even more important than studying a case of a person's victory. Because when a person fails, his various qualities will be brought into full play. Thousands of years ago, Confucius also said, "People's faults belong to their party. If you observe them, you will know benevolence." That is to say, people's mistakes are often due to their selfishness. If you look at the reasons for his mistakes, you can know whether she has benevolence or not. This method can not only be used to examine whether others have benevolence but also can examine many other contents.
Take the failure of Lawyer Luo Maisi as an example. He took over a lawsuit that seemed almost impossible to win by others. From this behavior, it can be seen that he was eager to be famous or to gain benefits. After studying the case carefully, he knew very well that the guy he was defending was a criminal and a scumbag. But he still defended that guy, even falsified evidence that he knew the law and violated the law, and instructed others to give perjury. This shows that Lawyer Luo Maisi is a person who has no right or wrong to win by any means. Lawyer Luo Maisi almost succeeded. If his client had a boring conscience, and at the last and most critical moment of the trial, he had a conscience discovery and repentance. Attorney Max's winning record is expected to continue. As a result, Lawyer Luo Maisi, who specialized in cheating others, was cheated by his client. And after finding himself in an extremely bad situation, Ramesh did not lose his mind. He passed a series of arguments to clear himself of the charge of falsifying evidence and perjury, and instead successfully pushed all of this away Onto the guy he seduced into perjury. This also shows that Luo Maisi not only has a high professional level but also has a top-notch psychological qualities. Such a guy is exactly what the Blackwater Company, which often needs to do those not-so-clean things, urgently needs. So shortly after the establishment of Blackwater, Lawyer Luo Maisi became a member of Blackwater.

After joining Blackwater, Lawyer Ramesh was almost like a fish in water. With the support of Heishui's powerful underground forces and the active cooperation of some judges, as long as Lawyer Luo Maisi goes out to fight the lawsuit, he will be almost invincible. After two years, he has become a well-known devil's advocate in the entire legal profession.
Scrooge was very satisfied with the charter that Ramesh drafted for Scrooge. This charter stipulates that the McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Workers Association is an independent workers' organization. The McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Workers Association (hereinafter referred to as the union) believes that all people working in The are a community of interests. Whether it is capital or workers, they are all consistent in fundamental interests and are a community of stakeholders. The rise and fall of the company are not only related to the interests of the capital but also directly related to the interests of the workers. Both the employer and the labor side should establish the correct concept of honor and disgrace and value orientation that the company prospers and the company loses its shame, and unite closely around the leadership with Mr. Scrooge McDonald as the core, for the sake of the company Strive for prosperity and development. The purpose of the association is to enable workers to better communicate with management, solve some minor problems harmoniously, and avoid misunderstandings caused by poor communication on some minor issues. And strive to seek benefits for workers within a reasonable range.
To support the work of the trade union, the company will give a part of the funds to the trade union every month to improve the welfare of the workers. The use of this fund will be fully disclosed for the supervision of the majority of workers. The leadership of the trade union is composed of representatives recommended by both employers and employees. The executive body of the trade union is the trade union committee. The committee shall have a chairman, a vice-chairman, four members, and eight officers. To support their work, the company will provide them with special labor allowances.
Such a trade union, holding the company's money, the main leaders' salaries paid by the company, and a small amount of money occasionally used to buy and fool the workers, will become a huge help for Scrooge to control and stabilize the company.
"Okay, you give this regulation to the director of Hamilton and try it out with him first. You also stay there to help him and get this thing done well." Scrooge said to Ramesh.
"Okay, Mr. MacDonald." Lawyer Ramesh stood up, nodded to Scrooge, and walked out.
...
The McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company purchased an island on Lake Erie as a research base. The base is under the tight protection of Blackwater security twenty-four hours a day. There are checkpoints everywhere on the island, walls, and eyes everywhere.

Rambo is a novice who has just joined Blackwater for only a few months, and he was also dispatched to this island to do security work. As a newcomer, this can only be done in the outermost green circle. The island is divided into a red zone, orange zone, yellow zone, and green zone with the research institute as the center. The red zone is the innermost circle center, while the green zone is the outermost layer. There is a four-meter-high barbed wire fence and many sentries between each circle.
Rambo was told that there are dangers everywhere on the island, so don't walk around. Because in some places where you seem to be safe, there may be deadly traps lurking. The more traditional ones, such as the animal trap that can break your leg bones; the more advanced ones, even include some special gadgets that the company has successfully researched but have not yet put on the market, such as a kind that will explode when you step on it. stuff. Of course, Rambo is not sure whether there is such a thing, and the person who told him the rumor is not sure whether there is such a thing.
However, there is no problem with the existence of traps and traps. Because one of Lambo's tasks is to maintain these traps, to oil these traps. Rambo had already oiled the twentieth trap today and carefully concealed it with dead branches and leaves. At this moment, he felt that the ground shook slightly, and then there was an explosion sound from the red zone.
But that's okay. During this period, explosions continued to occur on the other side of the red zone. When it is dense, there will be an explosion every hour on average. No big deal this time around today.
But today's explosion is different from the explosion a few days ago. Today's explosion is not an experiment, but a debriefing demonstration.
"Mr. Scrooge, we have tested several explosives during this period. Including nitroglycerin, diatomaceous earth nitroglycerin, picric acid, and trinitrotoluene." A researcher is reporting the research situation to Scrooge.
"Well, Mr. Brandt, please continue to talk about the experiment. You know that although I often run outside, to be honest, my favorite is the laboratory." Scrooge said politely to the researcher.
Mr. Brandt is a Frenchman who was picked up from the University of Paris in 1858 when Scrooge fell to France. This daring guy had just done an experiment to synthesize nitroglycerin in the university dormitory, and then took it to the playground and successfully detonated it. The result of such lawless behavior was of course his expulsion. But Scrooge admired his ability very much, so he took him back to the United States. Now this guy has become a pioneer in explosives experiments.
"In terms of power, nitroglycerin is still the most powerful. It is followed by picric acid, followed by trinitrotoluene, and finally diatomaceous earth nitroglycerin explosives. But considering the convenience and safety of use, I am personally Most satisfied with trinitrotoluene."
This result was not unexpected for Scrooge. Scrooge knew that although nitroglycerin was powerful, it was too unstable and unsafe. In the original history, almost all of the Nobel family died on this thing. After using diatomaceous earth as a stabilizer, there is no problem with safety, but the power is nearly half smaller. Picric acid is usually very stable and will not explode when burned, but it cannot see metal, and it will have a chemical reaction when it is put together with metal, and then it may explode by itself. So it is no accident that later TNT became the king of explosives.
"So, how is his industrial production problem solved? And how is the industrial production problem of smokeless gunpowder solved?" Compared with the previous ones, this problem is what Scrooge cares about the most.
"Most of the problems have been solved. Speaking of smokeless powder, Mr. MacDonald, I have just been inspired by Italian pasta and made a new style of smokeless powder, which is especially suitable for rifles. Would you like to know more about it?" Seeing his innovation, Brandt immediately got excited.
"Well, tell me about your new propellant," Scrooge said.
