In the past life game, Henri Lemieux is reluctant.

But because of St. Denis' financial problems, there was also the threat posed by Brontë.

In the end, he could only pinch his nose and sign a series of treaties with Cornwall against the Indians.

On the one hand, he needed to bring in foreign forces to deal with Brontë.

On the other hand, Cornwall needs to invest in the city of Saint-Denis to improve the local financial situation.

But now with him, naturally everything has changed.

For Henri Lemieux, there was an extra strength to be able to go with him against Brontë.

As for changing the finances of St. Denis.

In a short period of time, with the current scale of Chen Xu, it is indeed not enough to affect the economy of a city.

But the key point is that the previous women's rights protection movement directly alarmed some people at the higher echelons of the elephant party.

Although Chen Xu gained a lot of benefits from "920".

But as the origin, St. Denis, as the mayor, he also reaped a lot of benefits.

In the short term, perhaps St. Denis' fiscal problems will still exist.

But it won't be a big problem.

And with Chen Xu's growth, these troubles will also be solved at a relatively fast speed.

In this case, Henri Lemieux would certainly not be completely accommodating to Cornwall.

Even if you want to sign, you have to cut the flesh on the other party.

"Cornwall looks anxious?" Chen Xu asked towards Henry Lemieux.

In the game plot of the previous life, Cornwall did not have many opportunities to appear.

But Chen Xu clearly understood that the other party was definitely a top figure in the upper echelons of the Federation.

He also had people gather some information and intelligence from Cornwall.

But after all, it is only collected from ordinary channels.

What it is, only some people in the upper circles can understand more clearly.

After all, for ordinary people, sometimes you are exposed to something from newspapers and other information channels.

It may not be the truth of the matter, it's just something that others want you to see.

"That's right, you should know about electric lights." Henri Lemieux said towards Chen Xu.

"A great invention, of course." Chen Xu nodded gently.

Located in Saint-Denis, there are already some places where kerosene lamps are replaced by electric lamps.

It's just not as fast as the cities in the east.

"Every new type of industry, a new type of energy, will put some people on the throne, and at the same time make some people fall off the throne." Henri Lemieux whispered.

"Electric lights have such potential, and the operators behind it are the famous Morgan family." Henri Lemieux said with some emotion.

Any federal person is no stranger to the Morgan family.

Especially during the economic crisis more than a decade ago, the Morgan family successfully issued Treasury bonds for the Federation, so much so that they took this set of free rides.

It has almost seventy percent of the federal finance and banking industry.

But later, with the advent of steel and oil, the hegemon in the Federation was no longer their Morgan family.

"If it weren't for the elder Morgan's concerns about the emerging industry, the spread of electric lights would have been faster than we thought." Henri Lemieux said with a shrug.

For ordinary people, they only find the invention of electricity and electric light amazing.

But in fact, for most people in the upper class, they understand what electricity is.

It terrifies beneficiaries of the kerosene lamp kingdom like Cornwall.

Let the latecomers like Morgan Jr. be filled with the same ambition as the humble pioneers of the steel and oil empires.

It also makes conservatives like Morgan Sr. disdainful.

For Cornwall, the invention of the electric lamp was likely to replace the kerosene lamp and cost him a lot.

For Morgan Jr., the electric light may have made him a pioneer like Cornwall, his father Morgan the Elder, a symbol of the times.

For the elder Morgan, the Morgan family has now become the top consortium of the Federation, and there is no need to get involved in a risky new industry.

After all, it is unknown whether electricity can replace kerosene lamps and become the symbol of the next era.

Everyone involved is actually making a big gamble. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

"That's why Cornwall is so eager." Chen Xu nodded gently.

Combined with some of the information I have collected, I can almost put it together.

"There's oil under that land?" Chen Xu asked.

"Cornwall has already surveyed people from Leland Oil Development Company in advance, although the means are not very pretty." Henri Lemieux scoffed.

"But it seems that the Indians don't want to give up this land..." Chen Xu looked in the direction of the banquet door.

Following Chen Xu's gaze, the smile on Henri Lemieux's face disappeared without a trace.

In that direction, a middle-aged man dressed in decent clothes was walking towards them with two bronzed Indians.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xu instantly knew who the other party was.

The writer Ephrin Miller, whom Ducky admired, and Rain Fall, the patriarch of the Wapiti Indian Reservation, and his son Flying Eagle.

"It's that madman again, and those two red-skinned pigs!" Henri Lemieux cursed lowly.

Pierre next to him called over and commanded two words.

Then he saw Pierre with two guards greeting him, taking Evelynmiller with Falling Rain and Flying Eagle to other places.

"Evelyn Miller? With the Indians? Chen Xu pretended not to know.

"That's right." Henri Lemieux nodded.

"I've read the books he wrote, an old-time idea." Chen Xu smiled disapprovingly.

It's not casual, Chen Xu has really seen it.

After all, in the previous Vanderlinder gang, the other party was the writer that Ducky admired the most.

Also influenced by Ducky, Arthur, John, and some other gang members had heard the man's book.

But to Henri Lemieux and the like, Evelyn Miller seemed to them simply incomprehensible.

After all, if the other party is just to please those who miss the Old West era, then they can understand and say 2.0 may still smile.

But the other party himself is the staunchest supporter of the Old West.

That's annoying.

And they can't do anything about it, after all, Evelyn Miller is a well-known author and a best-selling author.

This also means that the other party has a small capital, and the company that publishes his book will also stand behind him.

It has to be said that this is also a kind of irony, the other side opposes the existing federal system and misses the Old West.

But he is a profiteer, even protected by existing rules and institutions, even if he does not want to.

"It's all a bunch of unreasonable madmen." Henry Lemieux scolded.

But just when Henri Lemieux vented some of his negative emotions.

Chen Xu's sudden words made him stop instantly.

"Do you think we can get that land?"
