Chapter 57 You can't imagine the happiness of southerners
In fact, Tang Ning is not crazy. He is planning for a rainy day. Although Lincoln has died, the Civil War is obviously impossible because it would not have happened without Lincoln. Tang Ning will be satisfied if it can be delayed for a year and a half.
, so this battle will most likely still have to be fought.
And if we follow the historical process, then New Orleans will be captured by the Northern Army in April 1862, one year after the outbreak of the Civil War. Only after obtaining the power of Louisiana in 1871 can it return to the hands of the original slave owners, so
By then, these manors and cotton fields will be worthless. It is prudent to sell them as soon as possible. In fact, if she were not afraid of shocking the world, Tangning would really like to sell all the cotton fields in her hand to Jonathan...
Although Jonathan didn't know Tang Ning's true thoughts, Jonathan naturally wouldn't refuse Tang Ning's approach and was extremely grateful. He held Tang Ning's hand and said sincerely: "Tony, I can recognize such a good friend like you."
, it’s really my luck! But don’t worry, I will never let you suffer in terms of price. I will buy it at twice the market price. Don’t refuse it. If you refuse, I won’t buy it!”
Seeing Jonathan's insistence, Tangning had no choice but to agree. However, in fact, Jonathan did not suffer any loss, because the original price of the wasteland and the cultivated land were different, not to mention that the land occupied by an established family like Tangning was so large.
They are all of good quality, and they also include the cost of the original relationship.
The next day, Tangning took Jonathan to go through the transfer procedures. His move naturally caused an uproar in the circle of New Orleans estate owners. Fortunately, he had a cover up of helping a friend, so he scolded him in private.
There are fewer prodigal sons, but more people say they were deceived by the Yankees...
Of course, not everyone doesn't understand. For example, Nicole came over and complained: "Tony, you cunning guy, didn't you tell me last time that now is not the time to sell cotton fields? Why did you sell half of it yourself first?"
go?"
"I just happened to meet Jonathan and wanted to buy it, so I conveniently sold half of it to him. In fact, if I wasn't afraid of scaring him, I really wanted to sell everything to him!" Tangning explained.
Nicole snorted coldly: "If you really sell it to him, then he won't be the only one who will be scared!" Then he sighed and said: "Hey, why can't I meet someone as suitable as Jonathan?
Where are the buyers?”
"Don't worry, I'll be able to help you contact someone soon!" Tangning said suddenly.
"Huh? Jonathan has other friends who also want to buy cotton fields and manors?" Nicole guessed.
Tangning shook her head and replied, "Well, he didn't say that, but I guess it's very likely, and through his incident, it gave me an inspiration."
"What inspiration?" Nicole asked curiously.
Tangning first told Nicole about Jonathan's "idyllic" fantasy, and while she was smiling and trembling with flowers, she said: "I believe that the second generation of rich people in the north are, well, those rich people.
Among the children, Jonathan is definitely not the only one who has this idea, so we have to find ways to open up their purchasing power, so that not only can we cash out these dangerous assets, but also if the Civil War breaks out in the future, these people may also become war fighters.
Resistance and scruples, in short, it is only good for us, no harm!"
At this point, Tangning took a sip of coffee and continued, "And we can still train people like this."
"How to cultivate it?" Nicole asked puzzledly.
Tangning explained: "I believe there must be many people who like female slaves, gladiatorial games, and pastoral songs far away from the smoke and industrial noise, but maybe they are not as lucky as Jonathan to experience them all personally.
So what should we do with potential customers who have no experience? Is it necessary for us to let them know about the happiness of being a southerner through certain publicity? Otherwise, they will not be able to imagine the happiness of being a southerner!"
Nicole nodded and agreed: "Well, I do believe that any man will like female slaves and gladiatorial games. Well, that's not necessarily the case. You are an exception!"
"Why am I an exception? Don't I like female slaves?" Tangning retorted.
"Don't pretend to be confused. What I'm saying is that you don't like gladiatorial matches!" Nicole replied angrily, then changed the subject and asked: "By the way, how do you plan to promote these things?"
At this point, she seemed to have thought of something, and guessed: "Don't you want to write a novel, just like you wrote "Gone with the Wind" to spread your analysis of the Civil War?"
"You were half right!"
"Half? Which half?" Nicole asked with a frown.
"It is true that we need to write something to spread the word, but we can no longer write novels like "Gone with the Wind"," Tang Ning explained.
"Then what to write?" Nicole asked.
Tang Ning analyzed: "You have to write something targeted. For example, to promote pastoral songs, you have to write some poems and poems about distant places. As for gladiatorial matches and female slaves, you have to write something that normal newspapers cannot publish."
"What is it that normal newspapers can't publish?" Nicole asked again.
"How should I explain it to you?" Tangning frowned and muttered, then said, "Well, you wait for me to write a paragraph!"
After a while, Nicole saw the page that Tang Ning had just written. She blushed and said, "You, you are too obscene! No wonder you said that normal newspapers wouldn't publish it. I think it's abnormal."
Even newspapers won’t publish it!”
Tangning replied disapprovingly: "It's true that obscenity is a little bit obscene, but how many men do you think can dislike this kind of thing? Even if they criticize and reject it on the surface, they will definitely look at it secretly.
This is human nature! It doesn’t matter if the newspaper doesn’t publish it. The worst thing I can do is print some and go. Anyway, I don’t want to make money from this, as long as it can arouse the desire of some gay people!”
While Tang Ning was chatting, Nicole suddenly came over and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever played like this? Is it fun?"
"Of course it's fun, do you want to give it a try?" Tangning asked with a wicked smile.
