[Comprehensive Classics] I crossed with the Daping layer

Flora Manor, New York, USA

"Master, there is news that Mr. Wycombe has gone." The housekeeper Betty hurried through the luxurious courtyard and came to the garden.Her hostess is tending flowers and plants, wearing a lavender silk dress, which brings out the hostess's better figure.

Betty stopped three steps away from the figure, put her hands on her abdomen, and said while bowing.

Qiaoqiao put down the scissors in his hand, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, and wiped his hands clean.

"Get ready for the funeral." The tone was cold, not at all like a woman who just learned that her 'husband' died.

For Wycombe's death, Jojo was not surprised at all. As a drug addict, death is a matter of time.

When he first came to the United States, Qiao Qiao auctioned off the set of blue diamond jewelry and got his first pot of gold.And then there are some investments made.For example, the largest power plant in the United States today.Because she also provided a lot of help technically, she holds a lot of shares.

This is her largest investment. Although it only started to make a profit last year, it can bring her about [-] to [-] pounds a year in the future.

There are also some small investments that have gradually begun to generate income for her.

The return on investment that Qiao Qiao can get every year is about [-] pounds.She can definitely be called a rich woman now.Because of the busy business expansion, less attention has been paid to Wycombe.After she reacted, she found that Wickham had already been addicted to drugs.

Naturally, Jojo would not pull Wickham to go to drug rehabilitation. After warning him, Jojo rented an apartment for him in another place, and gave him [-] pounds of pocket money every month. Never mind him.

Unexpectedly, he tossed himself to death in just two years.

Wycombe's funeral was very simple, after all, his death was not honorable.In the upper class, Mr. Wycombe is notoriously blind, and he doesn't like his capable and beautiful wife.I just like fooling around with those old and decrepit ladies.At last it was agreed that this might be Mr. Wickham's preference.

I don't know how many people are waiting for Wycombe to die so that Mrs. Wycombe can be single again, and then they will have a chance.Who made Mrs. Wycombe extremely loyal to marriage despite being young and beautiful.

In the past few years, there have been countless gentlemen who have wanted to get her favor, but she has never seen anyone who is different from her.The men went from wanting her to be their mistress, to wanting to be her lover, and now they are looking forward to Mr. Wycombe's early abdication.

After Wycombe's funeral, Jojo began her next plan.After she auctioned off the set of diamond jewelry, the money was used in three parts. One was to rent this manor in the suburbs of New York.The second is to invest in power plants.The third is to buy a piece of uninhabited wasteland.

In the sparsely populated United States, uninhabited remote land is unimaginably cheap.In the future, it will develop into Denver, the capital and largest city of Colorado, because of the famous Pikes Peak Gold Rush.

Because of the investment in the power plant, Qiao Qiao has met several very good partners in the United States.William Rockefeller and Benjamin Harrison, look at their surnames to know the power of their families in the United States.

Qiao Qiao is not interested in industrial management, one is that the conditions do not allow it, and the other is that he has no patience.Although with her strength and hole cards, even as a daughter, it is not difficult to make a fortune.But there's no need, she doesn't like these things, and she doesn't intend to force herself.

So after news of a gold mine at Pikes Peak came out, Jojo approached William Rockefeller and Benjamin Harrison to cooperate.She used the land as an investment, accounting for half of the shares, and the two of them were responsible for the development of these things.

"Miss Lydia, this investment, I mean, we took advantage of it." William Rockefeller was a little unbelievable about this investment, which was like picking up money for nothing.

Although Benjamin Harrison didn't say anything, it was obvious that he thought so too.

"Gentlemen, I am not investing in this gold mine, I am investing in Rockefeller and Harrison, and my instinct tells me that this will be the wisest investment in my life." Jojo has just signed with three parties contract, looked at it, and picked up the red wine on the table.

"Happy cooperation." Raise your glass.

William Rockefeller and Benjamin Harrison looked at each other and toasted.

With the increasing benefits brought by the gold mines, the cooperation between Jojo, Rockefeller, and Harrison has become deeper and deeper.The most important thing in the industrial age is technology and machines that are constantly being updated.

Qiao Qiao has a good talent in this area. He invested in technology and invested in several factories with the two.Of course, at the same time, the relationship between Rockefeller and Harrison is getting closer.The Rockefeller family's industry is mainly oil and minerals.The Harrison family, on the other hand, paid more attention to politics and military affairs.

This is also one of the reasons why Qiao Qiao chose these two companies to cooperate.The two sides have different development directions, and the chances of disagreement in the future are small.

The tripartite relationship gradually stabilized.

No matter how you look at it, Qiao Qiao is the weakest in this tripartite relationship, but she also has her own cards.Every contractual agreement signed between them is bound by contract.Contract inheritance from the interstellar era, you are trustworthy.

Of course, Qiao Qiao also believes in her technological monopoly. If anyone can't think about it and must fight her, then either you will die or I will live.

Time flies, when Jojo finished his 21st birthday and learned that the new president of the United States was Abraham Lincoln, he knew that he should leave this country.

"What did you say? Lydia, you are leaving the United States?" William Rockefeller found it hard to believe: "Are you sure you want to return to England to settle?"

"I don't know if I will settle down, but I probably won't come to the United States in recent years." No matter what, I have to wait for the four-year Civil War to end.

"But you have so many industries in America."

"Dear Mr. William, and oh, and Mr. Benjamin, I, Lydia Bennett, have absolute confidence in the character of both gentlemen. Even if I were not here, it would be mine, and I wouldn't lose a dollar, would I? "

"Of course. But..."

"William, it doesn't matter if Lydia leaves the United States. She is always so perceptive. It may not be peaceful here soon." Benjamin, who is in the military and political circles, knows more about the direction of the family's development.Now that the contradiction between the North and the South is getting deeper and deeper, if this continues, I am afraid that only war can solve the problem.

Once war begins, the order of the country must be chaotic.For a single and wealthy lady like Lydia, there is really no guarantee that she is absolutely safe.It is better to leave the United States now.Lydia is British, and returning home is a normal thing.There is no sign of war in Britain today.

Having said that, William didn't say anything more.It is a universally accepted rule that war keeps women away.

Of course, it's not that Lydia can go back if she wants to go back. She also has a lot of things to deal with in the United States. The most important thing is to find a qualified agent for herself.

After considering all aspects, Qiao Qiao chose the person introduced by William, a senior agent in his 30s.According to William, this Mr. Anthony Smith may not have great abilities, but he is very responsible. As an executor, he will definitely carry out the orders of his employer 100% seriously, and will never make his own decisions.

Jojo felt that this was the character she most wanted her agent to have, so she signed the contract with Mr. Smith without saying a word.The remuneration given by Qiao Qiao is definitely one of the best in the industry.This Mr. Smith was obviously satisfied.And because Jojo is a lady, she didn't mean any slight.

In May, Jojo got on the ship to England, the same first-class cabin and the same dance party.The journey this time was different from the thrilling one she had come to the United States last time.The ship arrived at the port of London, England safely.

The environment in London, England has always been such an indescribable environment.Jojo doesn't plan to live in London permanently, it's too unfriendly to the body.

However, London is the capital of the United Kingdom, the political and economic center, and any news will spread in London as soon as possible. She must have a fixed foothold here.

So the first thing Qiao Qiao had to do when he came back was to buy a house.

She wasn't short of money, but she didn't want to be high-profile, so she found an intermediary lawyer and said her request. All Qiao Qiao could do was wait.

The Winkley lawyer didn't keep Jojo waiting long, and quickly brought the information of the three properties.

The three properties are one in Mount Street, one in Baker Street and the last in Pall Mall.Attorney Winkley took Jojo to see the three properties.The one on Mount Street was directly passed by her. The area is too small and the traffic is inconvenient.

The two properties on Baker Street and Pall Mall Street are three-story houses, and the area is not small.The name Baker Street is really familiar.The world's only consulting detective Sherlock Holmes lives at 221B Baker Street.

Speaking of the surname Holmes, it reminded Jojo of the Mycroft Holmes he met a few years ago.The men of the Holmes family seemed to be very difficult to deal with.So stay away.

But there is one good thing about Baker Street, that is, there are fireplaces on every floor of the house, and the bathroom system is relatively advanced.

The size of the house on Pall Mall Street is good. Qiaoqiao likes to live in a big house, but the facilities inside are not as satisfactory.

"Baker Street and Pall Mall have good security, especially Pall Mall, where government workers live nearby. Not far from Downing Street, the security is absolutely London is one of the best."

As a metropolis, London is a bustling capital, and it is also a crime capital. It is unknown how many people are sunk into the Thames River for various reasons every day.

The security situation in the vicinity of the residence is also a very important consideration.
