Prince Yang has been in constant trouble in the United States recently. In addition to the tension between the two parties due to the Chinese Exclusion Act, there is also entanglement with the antitrust department. The Yang consortium has formed monopolies in many fields. This is an indisputable fact, but it is different from the European market.
The difference is that his monopoly in the United States is more obvious or naked.
General Electric has expelled almost all power system suppliers in the three-phase power supply market. Whether it is Edison's DC power or Westinghouse's two-phase AC power, they do not have the ability to compete with it in the market. As for the construction of large thermal power plants
, they are even beyond their reach. But General Electric’s production base is in the UK, and it uses subcontracting for production in the UK. The entire system involves hundreds of British companies. This is not a monopoly of Yang Feng, but a monopoly of the British.
, although GE can be ruled a monopoly without an investigation, Americans have never had the guts to do so. They do not want to face the wrath of the British Empire.
General Motors' monopoly is also obvious. Strictly speaking, there is only one car manufacturer in the U.S. market, because other car companies that have swarmed into the market in recent years have simply replaced General Motors' parts with a different casing.
.
Of course, he not only produces cars, but also monopolizes the market from cars to construction machinery and agricultural machinery. But the US government doesn't have the guts to attack him. They can easily attack Rockefeller, because the oil fields in Rockefeller's hands are the same as anyone else.
Yes, but if Yang Feng is provoked to shut down General Motors, not everyone can make his products. Because the company's core parts are only produced in Sweden and Germany, and the United States cannot even produce steel that meets standards.
Not to mention that European factories are still using machine tools with much higher precision than this era. Once Yang Feng is angered and closes the company, the U.S. government will have to bear the anger of countless unemployed workers. This is the case for those ambitious people who want to make GM
Investors driving cars out of the United States will not think about them.
There is also Monsanto, which no one paid much attention to when it was founded. This pesticide company headquartered in Dallas is now protected as a treasure by the state of Texas, although there are some reports that their products are highly toxic.
, while killing pests, it also kills a lot of other things, and there are even cases of people dying due to accidental poisoning. But compared with the abundant harvest of food and cotton on the farm, this little thing is not worth mentioning. The entire United States
Farmers are eagerly hoping that he can increase production and stop engaging in quota sales.
"We need DDT and B66. More DDT and B66. We are willing to drown in their ocean." This was the cry of a farmer during an interview with a reporter.
What’s also special about this company is that it is the only manufacturer of these two pesticides in the world. If Prince Yang transfers production to Europe because of his anger, let alone American farmers, it will be Duran, Texas.
Not those members of Congress.
"Fight with me, you're not even close!" Prince Yang, who was standing at the window and watched Tian Bei get into the car, said viciously. He decided to go back and bring a ship of genetically modified seeds when he had time, and sell them to the US market alone, suppressing the US industry and supporting
American agriculture, let Americans be the food base of the world with peace of mind!
As for buying conventional seeds at home, hybrid crops are too dependent. For the sake of safety, it is better not to let the Chinese go down this road for the time being. He is very much looking forward to the fact that after decades of planting, Americans will even use conventional seeds.
When all the seeds are gone, and the supply of hybrid seeds is suddenly cut off, what kind of chaos will they get into?
Ye Zi, who was standing next to him, came over and tilted his head to look at the ferocious expression on his face curiously.
"What are you looking at?" Yang Feng said angrily, reaching out and slapped her hard on the butt, causing Ye Zi to let out an uncontrollable groan, and then the little demon said mysteriously: "
Do you care if someone wants to rebel?"
"Who?" Prince Yang was stunned for a moment.
"The one you told me to pay special attention to!" Ye Zi said.
"Where is it?" Prince Yang suddenly became energetic. Brother Pao has been dormant for more than a year, and now he finally has something worth looking forward to.
"Anhui, Wuhu, I have to say that it makes sense for you to pay attention to this person. He can bring dead people to life with his mouth. The people I arranged were almost bewitched by him." Ye Zi said with lingering fear.
"Isn't that nonsense? He just relies on his mouth to make a living!" Prince Yang said.
After Brother Pao was humiliated and left angrily, he met someone arranged by Ye Zi on the boat to Hong Kong. Under the deliberate flattery of the other party, the two soon met each other and then went together.
Hong Kong joined the Xingzhong Association there and has been planning an uprising for more than a year. Because the members of the Xingzhong Association are all Cantonese, they don’t like to develop into the mainland as Yang Feng expected, but in Guangzhou
Since there was really no chance for an uprising, Li Hongzhang made Guangdong and Guangxi look like iron barrels. The elite Huai army troops were like wolves and tigers, and they were not something they could provoke.
In addition, because of Yang Feng's support, the economy of Guangdong and Guangxi has developed rapidly. Not to mention ordinary people, even many people in the Xingzhong Association have given up the idea of uprising. In this case, they have no choice but to overthrow
This decadent regime can only attack those places with a better revolutionary foundation, so the poor Anhui governor Furun became their first target.
Brother Pao, Lu Haodong and others have been active in Wuhu for a long time, and have established contacts with many people with lofty ideals in Anhui. Under the banner of the Nongsang Research Institute, they have developed many downlines, including some famous figures in later generations.
Just like Wu Yue, Bai Wenwei, and even Chen Qingtong, it can be said that there is a gathering of talents. Especially after Guangxu canceled the imperial examination, the revolutionary power suddenly surged, and a large number of talents who were forced to die finally saw clearly.
The nature of this reactionary dynasty, coupled with Yang Feng's anti-Manchu broadcasts some time ago, made them unhesitatingly devote themselves to the glorious cause of expelling the Tartars and restoring China.
I guess Guangxu cried when he heard this slogan. He also expelled the Tartars. We almost killed all of us. Now Beijing is almost a ghost town. Aren't you satisfied with this? However, this slogan is still very popular in Anhui.
, after all, the governor of Anhui is still a Manchu. In addition, many Manchus who escaped from Beijing also took refuge with him. Not only did these people lose all their property, they also persisted in their stubbornness and often showed off their yellow and red belts.
The people in Anhui are extremely angry. Wuhu is also a well-informed place. The people have long known where these people come from. To put it bluntly, the emperor should not come to us to find a way to survive. He is a big-tailed eagle. He has the ability to go to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.
They went all the way, even to Zhang Zhidong's territory, and they kept their tail between their legs. Wasn't it because the governor of Anhui was a Manchu and he still had thousands of new troops? He got angry and kicked Lian Furun away together.
"So do you think they have any hope of success?" Yang Feng asked curiously.
"Are you kidding? Only those 100 talents can rebel? It seems that they also invited a group of bandits. It is said that there are hundreds of people. The two sides combined can probably gather up to 500 people. Furun has an associate
The New Army has a base stationed in Wuhu, with about two thousand people, all with new guns and artillery. Because the military pay is timely, they are somewhat loyal to Furun. At least the pressure on the scholars is not enough to make them rebel. "Ye
Zi said contemptuously.
"Then it's none of our business!" Prince Yang said with a smile. He was still happy to let Brother Pao stir things up, which would also serve as a reminder to the people that it was time to change the emperor.
"But I find it strange. This person should be said to be very smart. Why does he do such a stupid thing? Such a rebellion will not have any hope of success, and it will just make those who follow him die." Ye Zi said doubtfully.
.
"You don't understand this. How much did our consortium spend on advertising abroad last year?" Yang Feng said with a smile.
"In addition to charity work, benefits to newspapers and radio stations in various countries, plus sponsorship to royal families in various countries, theater promotional signs, advertising fees on the streets, balloon and airship performance promotion fees, and naming fees for some public facilities
, which adds up to about half a million pounds. I understand what you mean. You are saying that these human lives are his advertising fees. Anyway, as long as he does not have to die.
But what is his purpose? Advertising fees need to be profitable. He does not really hope that through step-by-step advertising, he will get the whole country to rebel with him, and then promote him to the throne or the president or something.
Right? Anyone who is not stupid now knows that this world belongs to you. If he is so simple, then I really misjudged him." Ye Zi said, although this woman is not the most beautiful in Prince Yang's palace, she is undoubtedly.
She is the most favored because she has a lovely mind.
"What about outside of China? Do all countries like this result? I'm afraid they prefer a chaotic and weak China, but this will definitely not happen in my hands. I will only give them a strong China.
, and this country may be very aggressive, but they don’t want to offend me publicly, so they need someone who can cause trouble for me, so won’t the investors come here?” Yang Feng said.
"No way? How can this person be so cunning?" Ye Zi said in surprise.
"Then we will wait and see. Now he is shouting to expel the Tartars and restore China. If I become emperor and achieve this goal, he will cheer for victory from then on and be his Mongolian doctor honestly, then it will prove that I am wrong.
Yes, if he shouts another slogan and continues to toss, it means I am right." Yang Feng said lightly. (To be continued...)
