[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

Morgan House.

"Master," an old man in an old-fashioned suit said to the man sitting on the sofa with a lion-headed silver-handled cane, "Mr. Edison is still begging to see you outside the door, may I ask..."

"No," Morgan poked the carpet fiercely with his cane, and he quickly made several marks on the delicate cashmere carpet, "if you say no, you won't see, tell him that Morgan will withdraw its capital from his company immediately , there is no room for negotiation on this matter.”

Morgan suddenly looked at the butler York with suspicious eyes. He was not in a good mood this time, and Edison's repeated nagging had already annoyed him, "Did you get any benefits from that person outside the door?" This helps him speak.

York has been with Morgan for decades, and he has never been so indiscriminately accused by him. Although he knows that the old Morgan is in a bad mood because of the failure of the bid for the hydropower station, the housekeeper is still very wronged: "Master, how can you say that about old York? Old York asked himself that he did not do anything wrong to the master." Although he was only a housekeeper and knew nothing, the only person who could help the master was a technical talent like Mr. Edison.

"Then you won't let the bodyguard drive him away?" Morgan blew his eyebrows and stared angrily.

"Master, is there really no room for negotiation regarding the hydropower project?"

"There's no room for negotiation. Who told me in the past that his DC power would be safe. How many times have I warned him not to underestimate the enemy?"

What puzzled him the most was that the Butler family and Tesla actually used the trick of giving up the AC power patent royalties, and the timing of the announcement was very clever.

Now that I think about it, the interlocking actions of recruiting and dismantling debts cannot be said to be seamless, but it is true that he underestimated the Butler family.

Morgan stroked his curly beard that had been carefully permed. Although he lost the confrontation this time, in his opinion, this was definitely not the end.

This time all bids will not be released to the public, but Morgan has already got Butler's bid, and also got the real reason why they lost this time from his friends in the government.

From Morgan's point of view, his investment vision is not wrong, and the prospect of electric power is absolutely beyond doubt

The mistake was that he believed Edison, who was full of big words. If Edison hadn't lied about the military situation, the project would have been in his pocket long ago.How could he not allow him to dismantle the team, this person still has the face to see him, how thick-skinned he is.

Thinking of this, Morgan said angrily, "Get me a car, don't tell him I'm leaving, he has to wait here, just let him wait, I don't have time to listen to his nonsense."

☆

Of course, Morgan would not just let go of this piece of fat. After losing the project, he immediately took many measures, including a financial attack on Butler Company, and also acquired some companies that cooperated with Butler Company.

What Morgan did was to open the gap in Butler's family's capital chain, so that he could possibly get this lost project into his pocket.

During the World Expo, Bonnie and Xiaobo did not stay in Chicago all the time. Xiaobo stayed for about a month because he was the music director, and then he went to Chicago several times intermittently.And Bonnie stayed for more than a week before returning to Atlanta because of work. In July they successfully bid for the project of the hydropower station. After finishing the work, he quickly returned to the headquarters of Butler Company.

After winning the Niagara Hydropower Project, Rhett took Scarlett to New York, and Melanie took care of the family affairs, so that they had no worries.

Over the past few months, Butler's company has entered a very critical moment from private rivalry to direct confrontation with Morgan.

When Morgan created problems for them from time to time, Bonnie didn't intend to use soldiers to cover up the water.

After the International Women's Conference, Bonnie received almost the same attention as her century wedding marketing, and almost all the citizens began to discuss the hydropower project war and the impact of electricity.

On the other hand, this is definitely an alternative promotion of electricity, a new energy source. After the move of abandoning patent royalties was spread, the national discussion on electricity reached a climax.

To fight back against a powerful opponent, Bonnie prepared two hands.

The obvious card is to use the opponent's attack on women this time to put himself on the moral high ground. With the media's constant "revealing", it is even more known to everyone that this time the opponent even used himself in order to snatch the project of the hydropower station. The government's relationship was to exploit Bonnie's support for women's affirmative action.

A few months ago, Bonnie was indeed taken away because of the women's rights movement, and finally she was released because of the concerted efforts of the women in Atlanta and those who supported her. A round of resistance movements, and these things together have been discussed in newspapers in the North and South of the United States for at least half a month, which has also greatly increased the attention of women's rights in the United States.

To a certain extent, this incident also made feminists think that Morgan did not want women to get the right to vote. It was a move that killed two birds with one stone. After this incident was exposed, Morgan’s public relations statement People did not have any positive response to this matter, and they did not respond positively when questioned by reporters who supported women's suffrage, which made the matter even worse.

The opponent was too strong, and Bonnie had to use a stronger voice to leverage her strength. However, the opponent's repeated avoidance could basically explain the opponent's attitude.

And all the media controlled by Morgan's subordinates were also silent. On the one hand, there were the southern media controlled by Butler, who reported hot reports, and on the other, the indifferent northern media. The contest between fire and ice made many people immediately discover the clues behind it, and some even Initiated a boycott of these newspapers and magazines controlled by Morgan.

Morgan's media countered that the Butler family was spreading rumors, but this time, the situation was one-sided, and the two sides started a crazy public opinion war.

The two sides dug out all kinds of black material from each other, and Bonnie exposed Morgan's real black material, but Morgan's method of discrediting Butler's business was more of rumors.

You must know that since the rise of Butler Company, Bonnie has started to reform the company, trying to transform Butler's company system into a more modern enterprise. Whether it is the salary and welfare of employees, it is almost impeccable. , almost everyone is proud to join Butler's company, because as long as you work hard, you will be able to secure your family and your own iron rice bowl, which is almost beyond criticism for Bonnie.

Morgan later shifted the argument, focusing on the relationship between Butler's company in the state government and the state legislature, and also implied that the Butler family used their power to do some ulterior motives in Georgia.

Of course, the Morgan side also focused on suppressing the voices of women's rights. Some of the radical methods of women's rights were criticized, and Morgan's side found an entry point.

Originally, in this era, more men were quite disdainful of women's struggle for so-called rights, so Morgan's public opinion made many traditional men who were impacted by women's rights start to spit out a bad breath.

At the critical moment when feminist voices were suppressed, under the instruction of Bonnie, Louise released the evidence she had obtained earlier about Morgan's control of the presidential election. The evidence was directly published in the newspaper. The real evidence once again detonated the public public opinion.

Morgan's previous public opinion attack on Butler Corporation was collusion with important government officials, but now there is evidence that Morgan manipulated the presidential election. Even if it is not the most direct evidence, it has made many people see clearly true colors.

Although all the evidence was released, this move did not cause a complete storm, and it was entirely because the other party was too powerful-when the media did not discuss it, in this era when there was no social network at all, the public They hardly have any direct channels to express their opinions, and over time, this matter was forgotten.

However, after the wars were fought, the pressure on the Butler family in terms of financial attacks suddenly decreased, because Morgan had to concentrate on dealing with these increasingly radical voices.

The bright cards are in full swing, and Bonnie and Louise are also working on the dark cards.

Louise had found out a long time ago that some workers in Morgan's factory in Buffalo were dissatisfied with Morgan's squeeze and began to be agitated. Louise had already installed several people to work in Morgan's factory a few months ago. A month later, they instigated the workers to go on strike very smoothly.

Over the past decade or so, the economic crisis has continued, and many people at the bottom of society have long been dissatisfied, and a new force has begun to rise—anarchist organizations.

The people who join the anarchist organization are almost all radicals. They are exploited by the capitalists but have nowhere to turn. They think that the collusion between the government and the capitalists has led to the poor life of the people at the bottom. The government is the culprit of everything, so they oppose it. Capitalists even expressed strong dissatisfaction with the government.

The anarchist organization stood side by side with these strikers. The workers had long been furious. The members of the anarchist organization were originally radicals. When the sparks collided between the two sides, the entire city of Buffalo was instantly ignited.

Wave after wave of strikes in Buffalo quickly spread to other cities, and the government and parliament were nearly paralyzed because of these people's disturbances.

And at this time, tangible evidence about Morgan's manipulation of the presidential election was released, which confirmed the previous thoughts of the members of the anarchist organization.

And this is definitely an opportunity for the crazy expansion of anarchist organizations. These people's distrust of the government is getting deeper and deeper because of the discovery of these government-business collusion.

Besides fomenting strikes, they even recruited some dangerous members, some of whom didn't even know what anarchism was.

It's just to get benefits from the troubles, but also because of the participation of these people, they can grow rapidly.

The government thought they were a rabble before, but now they are starting to have a headache for them.

Things started to get worse and worse, and there were even signs of derailment.

Bonnie started from behind, but she didn't think about controlling it. She put Morgan on the opposite side of the middle and lower classes and women in society. This situation made their confrontation with Morgan more likely to win.

Morgan seems to be still thinking that money can solve everything. His attack on Butler is not only using public opinion to fight against smears, but also a financial attack that will do his best.

Reid is also a good player in this area, so in the contest between the two sides, the two met each other and did not take much advantage of each other.

☆

When Bonnie was meeting with women's rights activists, some women's rights activists asked her if it was time to reintroduce the women's suffrage bill.

Women's suffrage bills had actually been brought up in Parliament decades earlier, but never passed.

"I'm afraid it's not the time yet," Bonnie said calmly, "I think things will continue to ferment, so what we need is a more powerful attack."

"Isn't it the right time in this situation?"

Bonnie shook her head, "We need the moment to pass in one fell swoop, not when they are still vacillating."

However, judging from the current situation, that time may come soon.
