Doug thought of this but didn't say it out loud.

Sometimes it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to know.

If Doug said directly at this moment, would the South use torpedoes to block the waterway?

Vanderbilt might pretend to be stupid, or blame Doug.

Because, if you don’t sell picric acid to the outside world, can the South create threatening torpedoes?

Of course, although in fact, once picric acid is released, in peacetime, laws can still be used to restrict production by other merchants.

However, in the current wartime opposites.

If there is a chemical factory in the south that produces picric acid by itself, Doug has no way to deal with it.

After all, in peacetime, the lawyer first warns that if they don’t listen, use force to make them obedient.

However, although the Clayden Consortium has a team with strong combat effectiveness.

But even if all the security guards of Shiraishi Security Company go to the south, how can they ensure that they find a factory that synthesizes picric acid and eliminate it accurately?

Of course, in fact, Doug does not think that there are factories in the south to synthesize picric acid.

What he now suspects is that there are chemical factories in the north that secretly synthesize picric acid and sell it to the south.

Don’t think about this for now. The most important thing now is how to get Vanderbilt to reduce the transportation costs of railways.

As for railway transportation now, when it is close to monopoly, Doug has no good way to persuade Vanderbilt to lower the price.

Just like the plot shown in "Monopoly", once a player gains a de facto monopoly in a certain business.

Then, he will increase the price of this service by 100%.

However, the result of the game is the increase in tolls.

And in reality, it's like Vanderbilt.

"Captain, although I live in New Haven, I grew up listening to your story. I have always admired your courage and your career.

I believe you must also know that only a stable social environment can make more money.

And now, our north is fighting against the south.

Only when we win can we have a stable business environment and make more money.

It is precisely because of this that I believe you must be patriotic. At least you love our business environment in the north.

And your endless price increase is getting farther and farther away from victory.

I think with your wisdom.

You must have foresight and can relax a little short-term interests for the long-term interests.

I wonder if you think so?"

Doug said it was very restrained.

However, Vanderbilt obviously didn't listen.

He still had a serious expression on his face. He glanced at Doug deeply, and then said, "Boy, do you think I'm a confused person? Do you think I don't know that this war was initiated by you!"

"Ah?" Doug looked surprised, "Why did you say that? I...how did I start this war? What good will this do to me? I also hope for peace..."

"Don't pretend to be stupid! Do you think I don't know how much benefits you have gained now? You can now own the central bank.

Are you still afraid of not having money?

Compared to you, I just raised the shipping price a little, what is this?

If you say that my price increase is considered a robber.

Then would you be very civilized to grab money directly from all the northerners?”

Vanderbilt is naturally disgusted with any financial practitioner.

After all, before he was settled, he had just been cheated of huge amounts of money by several financial practitioners.

Compared with those Wall Street "talents" who thieves and thieves, Doug's behavior simply stole the entire United States into his hands.

As for Vanderbilt, why did Doug plunder the money from all the northerners?

It is because currency corresponds to commodities.

When the total amount of goods remains unchanged, if the currency is over-issued.

This will lead to the original product corresponding to one dollar, but now the product corresponding to two dollars.

The money in everyone's hands has not changed.

Those who have one dollar in their hands yesterday would not have two dollars in their hands just because the Bank of America printed one more dollar today.

The original one dollar could buy goods worth one dollar, but now one dollar can only buy goods worth fifty cents.

In other words, the money in everyone's hands has depreciated.

Why depreciate?

It is because Bank of America printed too much money.

The extra money will be distributed to specific people in a targeted manner.

For example, the US government has no money to buy weapons, but the frontline needs weapons.

Therefore, Bank of America printed a batch of money and lent the money to the US government.

The US government uses this money to buy weapons for Winchester Weapons.

The money harvested by Winchester will be deposited back to Bank of America.

In other words, the money finally came to Doug's hands.

In addition, the Clayden Consortium has many industries. As long as the US government needs it, it can borrow money from the US Bank and then purchase goods in a targeted manner.

Although it seems like a number game.

However, as long as the US federal government recognizes this number, the money is real money.

In this process, the wealth of the Clayden Consortium expanded sharply.

And this way of making money is the easiest way to make money in the world.

Many people always wonder why so many people get rich so easily.

Is this because of their strong personal abilities?

No.

No.

Under certain conditions, one can completely see that one has zero personal abilities and can look down on more than 99% of humans on the earth.

Of course, even if Doug is making money in this way at this moment.

However, he will still say to his employees that "work to get rich."

Because finance is not born out of thin air.

Money will only be useful when there are still people producing goods.

However, for those who have fallen in love with finance, it is impossible for them to make products.

However, there are always people who want to make products.

In the end, we can only use various methods to deceive ordinary people into working.

Of course, ordinary people cannot see or understand what the Clayden Consortium does.

But, for a top American rich man like Vanderbilt, what secret can you hide from him?

Doug could only smile with an embarrassing but polite smile.

He thought a little before saying to Vanderbilt, "Captain, you can't say that. Bank of America may have a little trouble for the people's lives in the future.

But, now.

Decoupling the US dollar from metal currencies completely liberates productivity.

The productivity we have now can completely defeat the South.

But now it is troubled by transportation capacity.

Can you reduce the price of freight and promote the prosperity of the economy?”

"Promote economic prosperity and make you more money?" Vanderbilt said unfriendly.

Doug also saw how difficult it is to convince an elderly person. The most important thing is that this man is still one of the richest people in the world.

Although Doug came with sincerity, at this moment, he said, "Since you think this is more appropriate, I have no choice but to wish your railway business a healthy development."

After Doug finished speaking, he got up and left Vanderbilt's office.

After leaving the Vanderbilt Building, five personal security personnel immediately posted it up.

Even the entire street, since Doug came out, fell on the calm lake like a drop of water and began to move.
