Chapter 394

By 1827, John Jacobs Astor's American fur company had successfully monopolized the Missouri area's trade with Indians.

In this desolate and savage area, the agents of American fur company are fully armed, and people clearly realize that no competitor, or individual businessman, can dare to enter this area to do fur business.

American fur company has deterred and controlled everything. It does not take the government's representatives seriously at all. It does not recognize any other laws except those needed by its own interests.

It is through the monopoly of the fur trade in Missouri that John Jacobs Astor has made amazing profits. From an ordinary fur trader, he has become the richest man in the United States. With the money earned from the fur trade, he has started to enter the real estate field. At the same time, he has made a lot of investment in coal mines, other kinds of minerals, gas factories and other industries.

Chen Mo's goal this time is to snatch food from the richest man in the United States!

In fact, Chen Mo can choose other targets with weaker strength. However, the time spent in that way is too long and the efficiency is relatively low, which is far less rapid and direct.

Moreover, the so-called richest man in the United States, a savage businessman who monopolized the fur trade in the whole Missouri area by means of powerful force, was not seen by Chen Mo at all. He could deter any armed forces who tried to invade his "territory" to purchase fur. In Chen Mo's eyes, they were just local people and could be destroyed.

But Chen Mo didn't plan to fight on his own. Instead, he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to exercise the fighting ability of Victor and James.

Other industries rarely go as far into the mountains and wilderness as fur trade, and can use force at will. Victor and James, two natural warriors, need such an environment to hone their combat effectiveness.

John Jacobs Astor would not know that the Chinese businessman who had just been laughed at by him not only focused on his most profitable fur business, but also intended to turn his armed forces into the fodder for the growth of his two wild animals!

After staying in a luxury hotel in New York, Chen Mo took victor and James to leave the bustling city and head for Missouri's lush forest.

When they first arrived in New York, they were still very new, but soon felt bored. Apart from the dense buildings, luxurious decorations, and busy people on the street, there seemed to be nothing interesting here. After a few days, these unchanging things soon became boring.

Moreover, New York is a city with extremely developed commerce and finance. The rhythm of the whole city is extremely fast, which makes the two people growing up in the forest manor, surrounded by nature very uncomfortable.

Now I finally left this busy but caged city. Victor and James felt relaxed, like two wild animals locked up, and finally regained their freedom. They were all excited when sitting on the carriage. They were not as depressed as they were in the wine shop the other day.

"Where shall we go this time, sir?"

Victor is driving in front of the carriage. James sits in the carriage and looks at the gradually familiar and comfortable natural scenery outside the window. After many days of depression, he becomes curious about the destination again. He has been with Chen Mo for a long time. James is not as restrained as he was at the beginning. When he has questions, he asks them directly.

Although it's strange for Chen Mo to leave New York soon, James is still very happy.

After all, he is just a teenager. He likes relaxed and casual atmosphere, and the beast like wild nature hidden in his heart, which makes him more like a broad and free environment. Compared with why he left New York, he is more concerned about where they will go, another busy and crowded city, or a quiet and free country.

Victor, who was driving in front of the carriage, heard James through the window and couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Like James, Victor, who grew up at the foot of the Rockies and often played in the forest, didn't like the business atmosphere of New York very much. However, he was a few years older than James and a little more mature. He wasn't as impatient as James.

But Victor was also curious about the destination.

Feeling the deep curiosity of the two little hearts, Chen Mo smiled at the corner of his mouth, slowly opened his mouth, and said slowly with a voice that Victor just could hear outside the front window.

"Let's go hunting in the forest!"

When victor and James heard that their eyes were shining, they were obviously interested in what chenmo called "hunting". When Victor first entered the forest to play, he often set traps in the forest, or used slingshot to hunt some small animals such as rabbits and birds. Naturally, they knew the fun of hunting.

James, who has always been weak and ill, seldom left holiette manor, and never had the chance to enter the forest, yearned for hunting.

But what the excited two people inside and outside the carriage didn't know was that what Chen Mo said about "hunting" was not what they thought. They were not hunting for the small birds and animals Victor had captured before, nor for the large animals such as bison and grizzly bear, but for the armed men of American fur company under John Jacob Astor!With the temptation of hunting, Victor and James, who were suffocating in New York, couldn't help but look forward to the destination. Even the carriage was much faster. It took several days to reach the vast forest of Missouri.

Leaving the carriage in a small village on the edge of the forest, Chen Mo walked into the forest with his hands empty, and Vickery and James, with their faces full of excitement.

Shortly after they left the village, their whereabouts were reported to a group of armed men stationed in the village.

This village is close to the forest and has a dirt road connected with the outside world. It is the only way for many fur merchants to get in and out of the forest, and the best place to rest their feet. In the past, when it was prosperous, many fur merchants settled here every day, and the carriage transporting fur can be seen everywhere.

However, since American fur company monopolized the fur trade in Missouri more than ten years ago, there are few foreign fur merchants here. This village has also become the exclusive stronghold of American fur company's armed personnel. Every information of foreign personnel will be reported to them soon, and these people want to avoid the armed personnel of American fur company, secretly and The fur merchants who trade with the Indians in the forest, if they enter the forest, no one can come out again!
