Chapter 157: Free New America!

1865,

four years had passed since that war.

After the North completely failed, the plantation owners regained control of this land.

And those capitalists who once wanted to liberate slaves were also completely defeated and speechless.

Because all their bargaining chips had disappeared in the fire of Washington!

However, after winning the war, the South mastered America in a smarter way, and that was the union method!

And each state had its own laws and regulations, and even were not under each other's jurisdiction!

The fragrance of freedom blew across the entire North America!

San Francisco, on the tidy street,

a carriage drove slowly by, arriving before a high-rise building.

Getting off from above, Scarlett stepped on the slave who had walked up, then slowly walked forward.

"Very happy to see you, Madam!"

Looking at Scarlett with a face full of smiles, the security personnel at the door bowed and asked.

"Where is Zhang?"

Looking at the security personnel before her, Scarlett couldn't help but ask.

"The boss should be upstairs!"

Retreating to the side, the security personnel smiled awkwardly.

And hearing this sentence, Scarlett shrugged her shoulders and said, "He better pray that I didn't catch him fooling around with other women!"

Lifting her long skirt, Scarlett walked upstairs angrily.

But just after she arrived outside the office, she saw Li Yong and the others playing cards together.

Looking at the suddenly appearing Scarlett, Li Yong hurriedly shouted, "Madam, why are you here!"

"Damn it, Li! Are you notifying the guy inside?"

Looking at Li Yong angrily, Scarlett couldn't help but become angry.

And just in the next second, noisy sounds came from inside the office.

Pushing Li Yong aside, Scarlett kicked the door open angrily and said, "Damn bastard, I told you..."

"Hmm? I..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng and Calvin awkwardly, Scarlett couldn't help but smile and say, "Hello, you two!"

"Cousin, before you come in, you should learn to knock!"

Looking at Scarlett unhappily, Warren couldn't help but cover his face.

"Sorry, cousin, I thought..."

Sticking out her tongue, Scarlett glared at Zhang Cheng.

Because if it weren't for him changing female secretaries every month, why would she be so nervous?

And were Anna and Louise idiots? If a man doesn't cheat, is he still a man?

Expecting Zhang Cheng to learn "gentlemanly demeanor" was not as good as considering how Lin Ken could lift the coffin lid and resurrect!

"Hehehe, who told you to stop, hurry up and do it!"

Holding a golden cane, Calvin looked at the slave on the carpet and couldn't help but roar.

"Crack!"

Raising their revolvers, the cowboys beside them revealed smiles.

And seeing this scene, Scarlett stomped her feet unhappily and said, "Calvin, I refuse to let you come to my manor as a guest!"

"Alright then!"

Spreading his hands indifferently, Calvin revealed a smile without caring at all.

Because he knew Scarlett hated this kind of duel!

However, what did that matter? As long as Zhang Cheng and Warren liked it, the three of them were truly good friends!

Two minutes later, a slave lay weakly on the ground, his neck being tightly pinched by someone.

Just after he stopped breathing, Zhang Cheng said with a face full of smiles, "Drag him down!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Walking out from behind, two cowboys skillfully grabbed a slave's ankles.

A few minutes later, the maids walked in to clean up the room, and Calvin looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "You shouldn't have married Scarlett, that woman is too annoying!"

"Calvin, I don't allow you to talk about my cousin like that!"

Looking at Calvin seriously, Warren became serious.

"Alright, buddy! I apologize to you!" Speaking with a face full of smiles, Calvin turned his head and said, "Have you heard? Those factories have also started to purchase slaves in large quantities, especially your fleet, which can always make a fortune every time!"

Hearing Calvin's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "How about the tariffs? Did Jefferson solve this trouble?"

"Many plantations don't agree; after all, they think Jefferson betrayed us!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Calvin's face was also full of dissatisfaction.

"Buddy, how much can cotton earn? You run factories; as long as those slaves don't die, they will all be your wealth!"

Looking at Calvin with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

How much can planting land earn? Business without capital is the most profitable!

Although it said that at the beginning, it needed a little investment, but the next business, wouldn't it be pure profit?

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Warren said in astonishment, "Could it be that Jefferson has already chatted with you!"

"If we didn't agree, do you think he would dare to do this?"

Speaking with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The one sitting in Washington was Jefferson, but the people who truly spoke were them, these "behind-the-scenes manipulators"!

Southern plantation owners, Western Far East Group, Northern capitalists, and the Indians gradually rising in each state—these people were the core that composed the "New America"!

Did Jefferson want to give the Indians a voice? No, he didn't want to, but there was no way; Zhang Cheng's Far East Group and the Indians were tied together. Once a problem appeared, Jefferson would be forced to start a second civil war!

Southern plantation owners supported Jefferson last time because of the Northern threat, but the Western Far East Group completely didn't have this situation.

What they wanted to do was plant cotton, raise slaves, and make money!

The North, don't even mention the North; they were beaten up by Zhang Cheng four years ago, and Lin Ken's gold-inlaid skull was still in his office, and they hadn't recovered until now!

Therefore, Jefferson was now pulling Zhang Cheng to negotiate with the South; only when both sides talked about the profit point would they pass this resolution.

And this was politics!

It was impossible for one family to dominate; after all, if everyone listened to Jefferson, then Zhang Cheng would have to flip the table!

Free America, shooting every day—this was the New America he hoped for!

This world, compared to the future, was even crazier; that was the right taste!

Zhang Cheng: As long as I am here

Caesar Manor,

The Krieg soldiers were standing guard.

Arriving in the living room and seeing his daughter, who was just learning to speak, running toward him, Zhang Cheng immediately scooped her up into his arms and said, "Oh, my dear little princess, how are you?"

"Da-da!"

Waving her little hands excitedly, his daughter couldn't help but shout out.

And just at this moment, Anna walked out slowly, tucking her hair behind her ears, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Holding her son's hand, Scarlett spoke up, "Shall we dine now?"

"No, wait a little longer. The fireworks for the group's tenth anniversary are about to start!"

Inviting everyone to come out, Zhang Cheng raised his head and looked toward the distance.

Accompanied by the sound of synchronized fireworks, the sky was instantly illuminated.

Clinging to Zhang Cheng's arms, Louise and Anna both revealed smiles.

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a smile, Scarlett held their son and said, "Do you see, my dear? Everything that these fireworks cover will belong to you in the future!"

Hearing his mother's words, the boy looked up and said, "Then can I become the President?"

Suddenly hearing the child's words, everyone present burst into laughter, appearing exceptionally happy.

Looking at Zhang Cheng with confusion, his son asked, "Father, is this very funny?"

"No, my child, this matter is very funny indeed!"

Revealing a brilliant smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
