Why did Li Mengyang know Vanderbilt so well?

It's actually very simple. Li Mengyang has read some of his life introductions in later generations. This is not because he is so rich that he attracted Li Mengyang. Although Vanderbilt is indeed very rich, it is because the introduction to this person in our country is very interesting. ↗

In our country, there is usually a saying about him, "Vanderbilt was born in 1794 in a poor family on Statue Island next to New York City... When he turned sixteen, his parents lent him a hundred dollars to do business by himself."

How funny is this sentence?

Although Li Mengyang was not like this at that time, he also knew what kind of purchasing power 100 US dollars was in 1820!

If the poor families at that time could afford $100, Li Mengyang believed that the current Americans in 1858, especially those in the eastern region, would be willing to join in and become part of this poor family. The key is that they obviously bought a cargo ship for the 100 yuan.

Well, this is the original reason why Li Mengyang is interested. After carefully studying this Vanderbilt, he found it even more interesting.

Simply put, this person is very rich and very rich. When he died, his net worth was one-87% of that of the US GDP. These are not the most interesting things, and there are more interesting things.

That is, this person likes a woman, which can be said to be a mistress. The woman is called Tennessee Crufflin, and the woman's sister is Victoria. Although the surnames of the two of them are somewhat different, yes, we can basically deduce such a relationship.

That is, Victoria, a female psychic, introduced her sister to her big client, Vanderbilt while doing business.

What happened afterwards? These two women, Victoria and Tennessee, became the most popular, and were relatively rare. Wall Street financial rich women!

What does this mean?

On the one hand, it shows that Vanderbilt is rich, and on the other hand, it shows that this rich man is an old guy who is superstitious and lustful, because Tennessee was originally a miserable woman, and the psychic, what is it?

Of course, we can't slander people like this, but there is another problem here, that is, as long as we get this Victoria, we should be able to get Vanderbilt and his ship!

That's right, it was precisely because of this that Li Mengyang asked Matthew to contact that Victoria. At least this task is still quite erotic, and he always can't do it, right? Then others seem to be the only one with Matthew.

In fact, this task is somewhat dangerous, that is, Vanderbilt is said to have syphilis. This disease was actually transmitted from Indians to white people. In Europe, this disease has taken many lives. It can be said that the Indians have taken revenge. However, the fact that Fan Mok got sick was still secret at this time, so Li Mengyang naturally couldn't explain it so clearly, so he could only tell Matthew so much.

But Mr. Matthew insists on "people" and "hearts" all, this... I wish you good luck!

As for why we need to deal with this Fan Monopoly, in fact, the reason why this Fan Monopoly started out was because of the gold digging trend. He was not going to make gold, but he was a lucky man to go to the west!

There are some individuals in later generations, such as gzjy, big v, etc., who play the wonderful jokes in business, "The gold digger is in front of the gold mountain and a river in the middle, and then I do transportation, which is more enjoyable than gold digging." In fact, someone has done this a long time ago.

But is this rich man and this shipping company very much related to Li Mengyang?

You should know that there are no bridges between the major islands in New York at this time. If you want to do something in this place, then can you not have a boat?

If you say so, Li Mengyang is going to be in New York... I can't say it now, but I can't say it to Matthew anyway...

"Hey! Why are you guys here?"

"Why can't I come? I'm a great inventor!"

"Hahaha...yes! You inventor, you invented the weapon of death! As a result, it did not bring death to the enemy, but it brought death to us!"

"You don't understand! You don't understand!"

"Hahaha...we don't understand! You understand, okay? Hahaha..."

It was originally a very harmonious gathering, but all the celebrities came, but there was such a disharmonious voice. Why?

"I'm looking for Vanderbilt! I have a new invention! It's the best boat!"

"Hahaha...how many more people do you want to kill?"

"You bastards!"

Of course, this party was held in the name of Vanderbilt, and at this time, Van Monopoly was the king of sea transportation in the United States. If someone really made a good boat and came here to find Van Monopoly, it seemed reasonable, but...

Li Mengyang looked at the guy who was teased by others and was wearing a US military uniform. He seemed to be from the navy and his rank was not low, but it was very old and had patches on it.

This matter is interesting. They are public officials, you guys... well, all those who can come here are either rich or noble. They mocked this guy for a while.

However, this really aroused Li Mengyang's interest. He carefully observed the US Navy and saw that this man was not young, bald, and could drink especially. Even when he was arguing with others, Li Mengyang saw him put two glasses into his stomach.

For some reason, Li Mengyang was quite dazed at this time. He felt as if he had seen an uncle "geek", who were those technical geniuses, but he had a particularly unkempt appearance. This old American navy really looked like...

"Hey! Hello, great writer!"

Just when Li Mengyang wanted to meet this "geek" uncle for a while, a woman photographed him from behind.

"I'm not a great writer, at most I'm a novelist." You can tell from my voice that he is a woman, so before Li Mengyang could turn around, he replied humbly, but when he turned around...

Huo! He turned out to be a beauty! He looks a bit like Sfimaso!

I really feel this way, but beautiful women like Sophie Marceau were not pretty in the mid-19th century. Many people may not know that during this period, European and American women regarded fat as beauty, but they should not be too fat. Yes, it is similar to our Tang Dynasty period.

Li Mengyang didn't know about this, but after he attended many such parties, it was difficult to think about it. But think about it, the heroine in "Titanic" that Li Mengyang had watched, and the casting was very accurate.

"Hey~ Our great writer has watched me for so long. Do you think you like me?" The beauty was very bold, as if she was teasing Li Mengyang.

"Miss, I just think you are very beautiful." Li Mengyang maintained a gentlemanly demeanor.

There is no way, this is the case in the upper class. Li Mengyang came in as a Chinese at this time, and some things were still unwilling to be willful.

"Hahaha... But no one told me that, you are really amazing, especially your mouth." This beauty can no longer be said to be bold, she is simply straightforward.

You know, this is really a high-class gathering, and the American trend is now "respecting Europe and fawning on foreign countries". In other words, everyone is working hard to learn from Europe, and this is not as casual as in later generations.

"Yeah." But unexpectedly, Li Mengyang agreed, but then he said: "Tell you a secret. When I write novels, I always write with my pen in my mouth."

"Ah hahaha!"

Obviously, this is a joke, a very interesting and witty joke. It seems that this guy Li Mengyang has integrated well into the upper class of the United States.

"I didn't expect that I would get unexpected results when I attended such a party." This beauty was quite smart. What she said was a pun.

"I have been chatting for so long, but I still don't know the lady's name." Li Mengyang, the guy, was serious, "Hello, Clint Li."

"Ilena, Ilena DuPont." When talking about this surname, Ilena hesitated for a moment.

"DuPont?" Li Mengyang would of course know the surname DuPont. When he was in San Francisco, he lived on DuPont Street. How could this surname be unclear as a time traveler?

"Yes, it's that DuPont!" Irina admitted generously.

That's right. For such a party, everyone comes from either wealth or honor. It's normal for people from the DuPont family to attend?

"I didn't expect that the DuPont family members..." Is this guy Li Mengyang going to complain?

"Do you think that the people in the DuPont family are all weird people who like explosions?" Elena complained about herself first.

"No." Li Mengyang stopped him, "I didn't expect the DuPont family to be so beautiful."

"Ha!" Women like to be praised, "slick and slick!" However, women should also be reserved.

Facing Elena's sarcasm, Li Mengyang was not angry. He said a little depressedly: "It's so difficult to be an honest person these days."

"Ah hahaha..." This sentence made Elena laugh so hard that her stomach hurt.

Well, the above conversations are actually not nutritious, but many nutritious conversations start with unnutrition.

Ilena smiled enough and said seriously: "Do you know why, a famous person like you, but no woman is close to you?"

This question is very interesting. Li Mengyang has been in many similar parties, but there are really few women who dare to contact him. At first, he thought that it was probably because he was a Chinese, but later he found that there seemed to be Chinese people in the eastern part of the country, not many, but there were, and their situation was different from his own... In this world, men have always been rich and powerful, but there are no shortages of women, but Li Mengyang, a newcomer in the newspaper industry, and a well-known novelist, is a bit weird.

"Why?" Li Mengyang was very curious.

Ilena immediately gave the answer, but said with a smile.

"Because a lot of people are rumoring, do you like men?"
