[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

Hearing what Scarlet said, Margot immediately put down the document in her hand, picked up the document that Scarlett had just brought over, looked at it, and said, "I don't think there is a problem with it."

Scarlett pointed to the document at the back and said, "But you haven't read the back."

"The data is fine."

"I mean, more than half of those outstanding shares went into the pockets of those black people!" Scarlett had already held back her words, and she could hide it in front of other employees, but in front of Margot, she would not Need to continue to suppress: "Those Yankees thought that those black slaves didn't know about stocks, so on No. 16, which was also the day after wages were paid, they raised their stock prices..."

Margot said, "Negroes are not stupid. If the stock price is too high, they won't buy it."

Scarlett said: "Of course. And these black people only buy but not sell."

"Isn't this a good thing? If it's white people, I'm still worried that they will store up their warehouses, and then, just like the Rothschild family at the time, deliberately let the stock price fluctuate greatly, thereby creating economic panic. As for these stocks being in the hands of these black people , Based on their usual behavior, it is impossible for them to go in and out of the stock exchange frequently, and naturally it is impossible to raise or lower the price. That is to say, stocks are safer in the hands of black people than in the hands of white people.”

Scarlett was dumbfounded: "But, but next month, don't you plan to carry out allotment and dividends?"

Margot replied, "That's right, the current stock price is a bit high. I'm going to make ten out of ten, bring down the stock price, and give twelve cents to every dollar in dividends. What's the problem?"

Scarlett was dumbfounded: "You are giving money to those black people!"

Margot said: "What does it matter? In Business Talk, Scarlett, these black people trust me and invest their money in me so that my business has more funds to resist risks. Then, I pay dividends to What's wrong with them?!"

Scarlett had a headache: "But Margot, you're making one, what's that word called? Yes, middle class! Yes, that's the word! Margot, you're making middle class! And it's black! You You should know how much this affects politics!"

Margot replied: "Of course. Scarlett, it's been four years, and the world is changing every day. If it was said that giving houses, wages, and benefits could buy the hearts of black people, now it's nothing. That's not enough anymore. Scarlett, the Yankees will definitely learn from us, and we just need to be a little more than them..."

"And you make black people rich too?"

"America's laws don't say black people can't be rich."

"But American law doesn't say that black people can become rich!" Scarlet said helplessly, "Okay, okay. But Margot, I want to remind you that those black people are already eye-catching enough. I I mean, we Southerners might not say anything, we grew up on black mama's knees after all, but it's not a good thing for those Yankees to have more money than they do."

Margo froze.

She really hadn't thought about it.

Of course, this is inseparable from her life experience in two lifetimes.After all, in another time and space she is familiar with, black people have become presidents of the United States and have been re-elected. Of course, she doesn't think it will be a problem for black people to become rich.

But she will never forget that this is the United States in the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States after the first industrial revolution.Margot still remembered that in the middle of the twentieth century, American classes were clearly defined. For example, on the bus, the front seats are reserved for white people, and black people and other people of color can only sit in the back, or simply stand, no, more should Said, they couldn't even stand next to white people, only in the aisle in the back half of the car.In the middle of the twentieth century, the laws of many states stipulated that if a black man sat in a seat reserved for a white man, the prison awaited him.

This is the so-called free America.

And now it is the middle of the nineteenth century.

Taking a deep breath, Margot replied: "Scarlett, the United States is free, and everyone is free. Since the stock price has been suppressed by allotment of shares at the previous board of directors, then Keep doing it."

"The outstanding shares?"

"I'll think of another way later."

Scarlett was helpless.

As Margot said, this is the decision of the board of directors, and there is nothing she can do about it.However, she secretly informed Uncle Peter.

Uncle Peter is the black housekeeper of the Hamilton family. Charles went to study at Harvard University, and when Melanie entered the social world, these were all decided by Uncle Peter.Uncle Peter's authority in the Hamilton family is definitely not comparable to that of Peter from Tara Manor.

It can be seen that this does not hinder the love of the Hamilton family for this venerable old butler.

So does Scarlett.

Although she has a bad temper and dissatisfaction with the Hamilton family, Scarlett still knows that Uncle Peter really cares about her young mistress, and how much Uncle Peter spends on her son Weibo.

Scarlett didn't want Uncle Peter to be hurt.

When Peter knew it, it was no different from the fact that all the black people in Atlanta who had bought stocks knew it.On the third day, the black people knew that Margot planned to carry out the allotment and dividends without discrimination. They all knew that they would have a lot of money and face new dangers.

Black people who had no work at night gathered in the prophet's house, hoping to get advice.

Looking at these compatriots, the Prophet just said:

"First of all, I would like to thank Miss Margot for her equal treatment of blacks and whites, and for everything she has given us. Although so far, I still believe that the Yankees contributed to the disappearance of black slavery, but the real The only one who respects us and treats us as human beings is Miss Margot from beginning to end.

"Miss Margot gave us the same opportunity to compete for careers as white people, gave us the same opportunity to study and study like white people, and gave us the same opportunity to own wealth. This is something that black people in other places do not have outside Atlanta. Yes. But, my fellow citizens, is that enough?"

The black people below talked a lot, they whispered to each other for a while, and then someone spoke:

"Prophet, what are you trying to say?"

Why do they always feel that there is something wrong with the prophet’s words today?
