Chapter 43 Howard!Captain America!

Time flies, and it is already summer in a flash, and the weather in Chicago is starting to get hotter.

In the early morning, Josie, wearing a POLO shirt, was sitting leisurely in the yard drinking coffee.

Of course, he doesn't only drink coffee, and he's not from Modu, who would die without coffee, and occasionally drinks black tea.

As for green tea, it's not that he doesn't want to drink it, but the tea in the US market. Like the UK, black tea is the mainstream. Except for Chinatown, it is difficult to buy green tea in other places.

But the problem is that the Pacific War is now fierce, and things from Asia can’t be shipped. It’s hard to buy green tea in Chinatown, and most of them are broken tea. The situation in Los Angeles on the west coast may be better, but it’s considered central. The Chicago of the region... alas!

So Josie can only drink some coffee and black tea honestly for the time being.

In fact, thanks to the fact that he is rich and powerful now, if he is just an ordinary person, he doesn’t even drink coffee and black tea—both of which are also controlled goods, and the former can only buy one pound every five weeks , the latter is 20 grams per week... how about feeding cats like this?

Fortunately, it will be almost two years.

He is young and can afford it.

"Honey, here's some bad news. It looks like you've been targeted by the United Labor Organization!" Margot, who was wearing a white tulle dress, sat down beside Josie with an invitation letter.

"...It's only been more than three months? Are you selling bonds again?" Josie immediately felt dizzy when he heard the United Labor Organization.

It is now the beginning of July, and at the end of March, he bought 300 million bonds at one time, which really brought him great fame and benefits.

For example, the establishment of three factories is almost a green light all the way, and the supply of various raw materials has also been satisfied.

Especially the syrup factory, glucoamylase successfully started mass production a month ago through the researchers hired from the University of Chicago, and the first batch of corn starch syrup also successfully interviewed a week ago.

After the experience of the military representatives, this batch of syrup and the subsequent production were directly covered by the military. Now Josie can be regarded as a ride on the most powerful army of this era-not to mention the quality, At least during this period, the U.S. military was definitely number one in the world in terms of scale and equipment.

But this is not without cost. Since then, he has been targeted by various anti-fa XX organizations in the United States during this period, and he has been thinking about going to him all day long.

Are you not the anti-French XX pioneer?If you have money to buy 300 million bonds and spend tens of thousands of dollars to support our work, isn't it too much?
However, the situation is not serious, and ordinary small organizations of this type can easily deal with it.

For example, the excuse that I have bought bonds with all my money, how about I donate some bonds to support you?

At this time, the other party will usually shut up.

Because what these organizations need is money and materials. Although bonds are good, they cannot be used as money in the short term.

But keep the bonds?Are you really contributing to the anti-fa XX, or are you making money for yourself?

But take the bond and go directly to the bank to redeem it?It's impossible. The military sells bonds just to raise funds to fight the war. The bonds are redeemed before they expire. If ordinary people lack money, it is reasonable to say, but you, an anti-French XX organization, are you sure you are not poaching the corner of the US military?
But some things related to the military are not so easy to deal with.

After all, Josie's sugar factory has just received a large order from the military, so it can't be justified without money.

At this point, the U.S. military can be said to be a model of conscientious customers. Most of the orders are paid in cash or in advance, and there is no default.

Unlike the UK next door, there are all kinds of IOUs.

It's just that it didn't take long for Josie to receive the money here, and the United Labor Organization came on the back foot.

This is a cooperative agency appointed by the Ministry of Defense.

The attitude of sending the invitation letter to Josie is also obvious.

Your order made that much money?Shouldn't they support us again, such as buying some bonds?After all, the interest rate on bonds is not low, so you won’t lose money, right?
In this case, can Josie not buy it?

If you don’t buy it, you won’t want any subsequent military orders.

Of course, Josie doesn't really care much about the military's orders. After all, he has a trading system. The same candy sold to Daenerys will make an unknown number of times the profit of selling it to the military.

But Josie was very concerned about the name of the military supplier.

Having such an identity is very helpful for his class promotion in the United States and his integration into various capital circles.

And two years later, after World War II ended, this status became even more valuable.

At that time, no matter whether he goes to Europe or to the foot pot chicken, he can be a superior existence, and in those places, he can scrape the ground at a very low price.

So don't talk about buying bonds, even if it's a pure donation, he has to keep his name.

It's just that this feeling of letting the military handle it makes him very unhappy.

"Haha, my dear, don't be so unhappy. Compared to Howard in New York, you are pretty good, but he was forcibly recruited by the military." Seeing that Josie was a little unhappy, Margot persuaded with a smile .

"How can I compare with him? He is an aviation expert, and I'm just a high school dropout." Josie shook his head and said, but at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, shouldn't Howard Hughes live in Los Angeles?
"Honey, you don't have to be so self-deprecating. You have just turned 16, and you already own three factories, and you have also received orders from the military, especially the glucoamylase and fructose syrup produced by the sugar factory, which are monopoly products. , your achievements will definitely be stronger than his in the future." Margot walked behind Josie, put his arm around his shoulders, and said close to his face, "Speaking of this time, the United Labor Organization came to Chicago this time, but there are still many things to do. Hollywood stars accompanied, such as Jane Russell, Whitney Frost, Pauline Goddard and many other big stars. Especially Whitney Frost, she and Judy Garland The Siegfried Girl who played with her was really good."

Whitney Frost?Josie looked blank, he had never heard of it.

He had a little impression of Jane Russell, who was Howard Hughes' concubine. It seemed that she was resisted because she wore too revealing clothes when filming a film during World War II, and then she could only play a small role.

"By the way, there should be a program list on the invitation letter, let's take a look." Margot said happily again.

Josie smiled helplessly, and opened the invitation letter in front of her.

In the next second, his expression changed instantly.

"Margot What's the full name of Howard you mentioned just now?" Josie asked.

"Howard Stark? What's the matter? Before he was forcibly recruited by the Ministry of Defense last month, he held a technology expo. The scale was quite large, but I knew it was too late, otherwise we can I went to New York to see, and I heard that there are a lot of novel things there. At this time, Josie's voice sounded a little trembling, which made Margot feel a little strange, but she still answered truthfully.

Because she was standing behind her, Margot didn't notice Josie's livid face and her staring eyes at the program named "Captain America" ​​in the program list on the invitation letter.
