America’s Big Hero

Vol 2 Chapter 365: : Credit card machine

In the future, in addition to building coal mines, Guajira will manage the 400,000 or so people well.

To be honest, they are quite poor, and most of them are dangling below the food and clothing line.

Guajira is close to the Caribbean Sea, and the rich resources of the ocean have not been enjoyed, but disasters such as typhoons have endured completely!

After the typhoon passed, the houses collapsed, and the rainstorm continued, the planting industry could not develop at all. Some of them were small-scale planting by families.

In the whole of Guajira, except for Riohacha, which has a fairly complete education system, other cities, in Sean's opinion, are at most a town, there are elementary and junior high schools, but the literacy rate is terrible.

This place is really poor!

So poor that Sean couldn't think of any development strategy for a while.

Not to mention marine fishing, not to mention whether a boat can be bought or not, without the support of meteorological satellites, the changing marine climate of the Caribbean can easily allow fishing boats to go out and not come back!

In the case of Riohacha, the largest seaside city, offshore fishing is okay, but not far.

"What about the tax problem?" Little Booth said, "Especially those residents scattered around towns, who are mainly agricultural, the difficulty of collecting tax is one aspect, the main one is the cost, and the income is not enough. Artificial."

"That will also be charged." Sean said without hesitation: "Tax collection is a demonstration of dominance. Even if you lose money, you must collect it, at least for a long time, and you can't consider the cost issue."

"Let's wait until this kind of rule is recognized. By the way, let the people from Kadeep follow when collecting taxes, don't make it so that no one else knows about it in the end."

After all, Sean shook his head. In 1987, it was the same as it was 300 years ago, and taxes had to be collected manually.

Things are pretty much explained here, Sean is only responsible for the general direction, and the specific things are the responsibility of the team below.

Now that the negotiation has ended, Sean stopped staying here, took Xiao Bu on the plane, and only flew to Newark.

In a flash, I haven't come back for a long time, and I just took a quick look when I came back last time.

It's still the small courtyard next to the Newark Umbrella Base. It looks really small now, but as soon as I walk into the courtyard, I suddenly feel very relaxed, um, kind.

Especially when a few women rushed out, Sean was so satisfied!

"All come, all come!" Sean opened his arms, and several women stood in a row, each hugging and kissing.

Well, the life of the rich is so simple and boring.

In a flash, three days have passed...

...

Sean slumped on the sofa, his eyes sunken...

"all gone?"

"It's all gone!" Norris stood beside him and bowed his head back.

"call!

' Sean let out a long sigh.

Even if he is an iron man, if he is thrown into this kind of Shura field, he will be completely drained!

"Let's go back and ask the yoga company to send a coach over there. I'm getting old and I really need to exercise hard, otherwise, my body can't stand it!" Sean raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, "Oh, yes, if you want a man Coach, don't get a woman here, my body hasn't recovered yet, and I'll be drained by those snake spirits."

"What happened to Kashima?" Sean finally remembered his business.

"The reclamation work has been completed, and the soil has been replaced on the island. It's all black soil obtained from the Mississippi River at your request, boss."

Sean nodded, fine.

There are only three **** lands in the world, one red and black lands!

We are talking about large blocks here, and those with small areas are not included in the calculation.

They are the Ermaozi Plain in Ermaozi, the Mississippi Plain in the United States, and the Northeast Plain in China.

However, Ermaozi and the black soil of the Mississippi Plain suffered considerable damage.

Black storm!

After the large-scale deforestation, there was no forest protection, and together with the wind and sand, the black soil was rolled up to the sky, forming a black storm.

At present, only the black land in the Northeast Plain is the most complete, and the development time is relatively short.

(PS: By the way, there are black soil sellers on the Internet, some of which are simply marked with HLJ black soil, and they were dug directly there, making this kind of money, there is no other way!)

Ahem, of course, Sean didn't care about that, he just let people transport black soil back from the Mississippi River plain, truck by truck, not bad money, he was going to replace all 30 cm of the surface of the island with black soil.

It's called style!

There is no need to be one meter deep, this is all to test that you are now a US citizen!

"Have you arranged for someone to do a comprehensive design for the island?"

"I found four, and the design draft has come out, just waiting for the boss to choose."

"Okay, I'll take a day off. Tomorrow, I'll go directly to the island to see."

...

Finally got a good night's sleep, and fortunately, the food supplements continued, and Sean finally recovered his spirits the next day, at least on the surface, there was no problem.

He took a helicopter to the island, and now the island is full of light. In order to prevent the sea breeze from blowing the black soil, Norris also specially asked people to cover the whole island with a mesh cloth.

No way, the cost of transporting these black soils is very high, a pound of black soil is more expensive than ten pounds of rice!

Otherwise, people will not sell it.

Of the four design drafts, Sean actually looks good on any of them.

Well, they are all traditional American gardens.

This American style... is very interesting. The so-called lack of something, the more longing for something. Although the United States is only 200 years old, it must also have traditions!

American gardens come from English gardens, and English gardens...from Song Dynasty gardens. Of course, after hundreds of years of development, they already have their own set of things.

This is no nonsense, it is true that many things in the British style imitate ancient China, such as the door knocker on 10 Downing Street...

Although Yingmei promotes poverty, backwardness, and ignorance in the east all day, but secretly envy in the heart, such as Marvel, Master Gu Yi.

Gu Yi is a bald woman in the movie. In fact, he first appeared in the comics in 1961. His real name is Yao. He is the supreme mage on earth and the master of Doctor Strange and Baron Mordo.

According to normal logic, Americans should call him 'Ming'. The reason why they all call him 'Yao' is because this name is very familiar to the public!

Coincidence also naturally has a certain place in the hearts of fans.

Closer to home, Sean will not do any Chinese gardens in the United States. In the upper class of the United States, anti-China is the mainstream thought.

The U.S. government is under the control of U.S. capital. The reason why U.S. capital can roam the world and plunder it is largely because the U.S. itself is strong enough.

A real international leading enterprise must be backed by a real big country!

Small countries cannot raise real international leaders, such as Samsung and the like, most of the profits must be turned over to American consortiums.

During World War II, American think tanks reached a consensus that there were only two countries that could pose a threat to the United States, Lao Maozi and Dongfang.

As for Europe, unless integration is completed, there is no chance.

This has nothing to do with the fact that Canada, Tu'ao, and Asan are also vast and have a large population.

Therefore, Sean will not challenge the entire American high society.

For the four design proposals, Sean didn't look at the price.

What's not worth the money, it's nothing more than a trip...cough.

Picked one of the softest design drafts and kept them, the other three were passed by Sean.

Seeing the old rivals complacent, the heads of the three companies couldn't understand why, but they didn't dare to ask Sean, so they could only fight against the old rivals.

They have deliberately understood Sean's character and behavioral logic.

I like battleships, planes and tanks, and I like to be strong and short-tempered when I encounter problems, so the design draft deliberately pursues atmosphere, toughness, and openness. As a result, Sean chose a softer and more delicate one.

This is so illogical!

Sean didn't care what they thought and asked Norris to send people away. Then he pointed to the design draft and said, "I like the garden style of Chinese culture. Under the condition that the main style remains the same, I can absorb the essence of this aspect, and find it if I don't understand it. Chinese ask for advice, I only look at the finished product."

Even if things come to an end here, Sean estimates that the entire island has not been repaired for more than half a year, and the United States has this efficiency.

After that, Sean took a plane to Manhattan, got in the car and went straight to Rockefeller Center, got some supplements from the east, and delivered them to Old Man David.

During this period of time, I have been wandering in Southeast Asia, and I haven't come back for a long time, and I have never seen the old man.

Although it seems that Sean's achievements today are entirely up to him, and the Rockefellers have not contributed much, but in fact it is not the case.

If it wasn't for his surname Rockefeller, the two police officers would not have been so polite to him on the first day of crossing.

When he started out, if Sean wasn't named Rockefeller, the police chief in Newark wouldn't have given him a chance to break the original Mexican gang.

Don't think that only the East likes to maintain stability, but any government doesn't dislike stability. Even if it goes downhill, most people don't want to jump out of their comfort zone.

Later, when Sean dominated New Jersey, the governor also considered that Rockefeller was standing behind Sean. Rockefeller was more measured and powerful, and this gave Sean a chance.

Later, when buying a Black Hawk gunship, do you really think that anyone in the United States can install Hellfire anti-tank missiles on the Black Hawk!

That's because the company's major shareholder is the Rockefeller consortium!

When the umbrella is developing and growing, when buying warships, who buys the junk of the U.S. military if they want?

That is really advanced. How many countries are waving hundreds of times more than Sean, and thousands of times the price, the US military will not consider it, and they will not sell it if they are bombed!

Or because Sean's last name is Rockefeller!

American political scientist Huntington has this sentence in "The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of the World Order": China is not a country, but a civilization disguised as a country.

This book is relatively early, officially released in 1996.

After the Cold War, the United States regarded the east as the first major threat, set up the first island chain, supported the T army S, supported the book, and went all the way to Southeast Asia. This is a military, economic ban, political isolation, economic on the invasion.

However, soon Laomei discovered a huge problem, not acclimatized.

For example, eBay, when eBay played C2C, there was nothing to do with the old horse, accounting for 90% of the market share, eBay's management firmly implemented the North American theory, charging, and then nothing...

There are many similar incidents. They don’t understand that many times, economic negotiations are not the business’s decision, and it is not necessary for everyone to make money.

They don't understand why the whole country has so many TV factories at the same time, bringing down the entire industry and making many Americans lose their money.

Many economic theories and sociological theories that were recognized in the West in the old United States are not easy to use in the east. After the Cold War, they encountered obstacles everywhere, but the disciplines of economics, sociology and other disciplines of famous universities in the United States are studying this problem. , the final conclusion is civilization.

So, from November 1995, the United States introduced the film officially entered.

China is not a country, but a civilization disguised as a country.

Many people in China are proud of this theory... but everyone does not know that this theory was not developed to praise you, but to capture you. Public knowledge has changed from running water to conscious cultivation, and cultural invasion has begun on a large scale.

Closer to home, the counter to this theory is that the United States is a corporation disguised as a country…

And Rockefeller is a shareholder of the company, so no one would doubt that Sean, whose surname was Rockefeller, would betray his company, so that he could get so many resources that others were not entitled to.

(PS: In the above explanation, many readers questioned why they were linked to Rockefeller from the very beginning... I can only say that it is not nonsense, the adaptation is not nonsense, two openings... Cough, time-travel also cannot violate the basic logic.)

...

"Fifth grandpa, medicinal wine is made of good things. Drink a little less every day to prolong your life." Sean placed a large jar of amber medicinal wine on Old David's table.

It's rare that this jar of medicinal wine is not fancy at all, it's just so ordinary.

"What else do you have to do with my old man!" Old man David squinted at Sean.

"I'm so sad for what I said!" Sean's face was 'wronged', clutching his chest, looking like he wanted to die, "I can't be sincere, just because of family affection, without any utilitarian intentions?"

"It's true!" Old man David looked up and down at Sean, and the corners of his mouth slowly grinned.

"Come on, believe it or not!" Sean rolled his eyes.

Sean looked like this, but old man David believed it, "Then I have to take a look."

Old man David turned the jar to look left and right, and the stuff inside was strangely shaped, and it looked like there was a snake, which made him look weird.

This snake is not a good thing at first glance. It must be highly poisonous. Looking at Sean, this little brat is not trying to poison me!

"Hey, stinky old man, I'm so anxious if you do this again. You ask the laboratory to test to see if there is any poison." Sean's face turned dark, and it was rare for him to be kind.

"Cough, cough..." Old man David coughed a few times. It wasn't because he was suspicious that he was seriously ill, but when he came to his position, it was inevitable that he couldn't help himself, and the service team around him would not allow him to eat those foods of unknown origin. s things.

The old man really made a mistake. The entire service team around him is going to be finished, but no one is pursuing it. Unemployment alone is a big problem.

The old guy lives for a day, and a team of people is supported by a high salary for one day, that is a really high salary!

Coaxing Sean to sit down, old man David deliberately sat next to Sean and talked about what happened during this period.

"In Xingcheng, you have to reply to the reporter one more time!" Old man David pouted, "If they dare to take revenge on you, you will naturally want to take revenge back."

"Saudi Arabia wants to retaliate by cutting off the oil supply, the food company's revenge is definitely cutting off the food supply, the bank's revenge is cutting off your cash flow, then the military security company is of course showing its military security capabilities!"

"What's wrong with that?"

Sean looked at the old man David with surprise. He always felt that the old man was very conservative, very conservative and rich, but he didn't expect the old man to be so aggressive and more irritable than himself.

"Don't be surprised, everything has a bottom line. If I were to face this kind of provocation that was almost deadly, I would do more than you, and I would directly provoke chaos in the oil market and pull everyone into the water. !"

"Only when you show your fangs will those vampires know not to provoke you!"

"You kicked the Malays in the ass, which can only make a few countries around Southeast Asia fear your force. Those really big companies don't think there is anything to be afraid of. They also have the ability to make the Malays submit. "

"For example, Malay is the world's largest producer of palm oil, but the export channel is controlled by ADM. As long as you are willing to pay some price, you can support other countries and make Malay lose billions of dollars every year, no worse than you. too much."

"In fact, it's not so troublesome. Just releasing the news of stopping the introduction of palm oil from Malaysia can cause turmoil in the entire palm oil industry chain in Malaysia and cause huge losses.

"This is called a big company, silently controlling life and death!"

Sean blinked, ADM of course he knew that the world's four major grain merchants control the lifeblood of many countries. At the beginning, because of Sri Lanka, Sean still owed them a favor.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Old man David waved his hand and looked solemn, "In the past year, most of your business has been abroad, and some of you have neglected the United States. This is your foundation, and you should pay attention to it. ."

"I understand." Sean lowered his head for a little thought, then nodded again.

Back in Newark, Sean shut himself up at home for a few days. In the future, he should turn his attention back to the United States.

Only if the foundation is stable enough, he can wave unscrupulously outside.

...

"Mr. Sean, good afternoon!" Speaking in weird English, Takashi Iwashita knelt on the ground with a thud as soon as he entered the door.

Takashi Iwashita, the president of Berthes, the company that Sean bought from the book, and later transferred to Akina Nakamori, a company specializing in the production of credit card machines and cash registers.

Sean beckoned, and Akina Nakamori, who had followed Takashi Iwashita, took small steps, bowed his head slightly, walked to Sean's side and sat down with a smile on his face, and took his arm naturally. Laughing, not saying a word.

"These are the two sets of finished products I brought here." Seeing Sean's eyes revisited, Takashi Iwashita immediately got up and opened the two boxes.

One is an all-in-one cash register with a small screen, host and scanner.

One is a separate handheld credit card machine.

Sean picked up the hand-held credit card machine and fiddled with it. Yes, it was designed according to his requirements, and it was almost the same as later generations of credit card machines, except that it needed to be connected to a telephone line.

With this thing, Sean's next plan can be implemented.

Well, what a new company!

It's just that it's not enough for this company to swipe the card machine. Sean thought it was simple before.

...

"The idea is good, very advanced." Monroe Deve played with the credit card machine and praised after listening to Sean's application of the credit card machine in consumer places: "When we have a large consumption, we either carry a huge amount of money with us. In fact, it is inconvenient and insecure, and merchants will also be afraid of the authenticity of the check and the problem of cashing.”

"If you have a credit card machine, it's really convenient."

"Genius idea, the only problem is that there are no other cat cakes except that it is not practical." Monroe Deve put down the card machine and looked at Sean helplessly, "Yes, very, ahead of time!"

"What kind of thing, it's not practical?!" Sean's expression twisted, the corners of his mouth twitched, you are so blind!

"Yes, there is no way to use it. If you want a card swiping machine to complete the deduction with a 'dick', then you need this thing to be connected to the internal system of the card issuing bank to check how much money there is in the card. This can't be done alone. , Oh, by the way, after the inquiry, the deduction has to be completed and the money transferred to a separate account. Is it the same bank? Interbank transfers still use the phone now."

"No bank will open the database for you, and have the authority to operate. Boss, do you know how dangerous that is? Once there is a problem, it will be devastating!"

"So, boss, don't think about it, not even Rockefeller."

Sean: "..."

Blinking his eyes, he just thought about his previous life with a 'di', and it was convenient. After hearing about such a thing as a credit card machine, he immediately became interested, but he forgot that the current credit card machine is only used by the bank, not to the outside world at all.

"No, I remember that VISA already had the concept of swiping a card!" Sean was puzzled.

"It is for travel and business, it is equivalent to a separate sub-account opened in each bank~www.NovelMTL.com~ The user's money is a sub-account in this sub-account, and you are two concepts. , and the place where it is used is also a bank, not any small shop that sells hamburgers."

"I still don't believe it, this thing can't be achieved!" Sean became angry, "Our bank has started to use computer systems now?"

Monroe Deve rolled his eyes, "We've been using IBM's servers for 30 years, otherwise, boss, you wouldn't think we're still copying by hand!

"

"IBM, IBM..." Sean muttered, there was always a feeling that the world was unreal. In 1987, what is the IBM computer like now? What is the system like?

"Okay, let's do this for now, don't worry about it, I'll go back and ask the professionals!" Sean waved, Monroe Deve shrugged, got up and walked out.

Sean sat on the spot, squinting, always feeling as if he had overlooked something important!

Very important, very important.

Very valuable, very valuable!
