After the autumn wood

Having traveled to America in the year 1862, this was the beginning of a dream, the finest of times.
What constitutes a true master of success?
Having some notable descendants hardly counts for anything.
To build an Oil Empire alongside Rockefeller
To place Carnegie on the throne of the steel magnate
To help Ford propel the industrialization of automobiles worldwide
To lead Edison to monopolize the future of the electrical industry
To be an Angel Investor for Morgan's capital
Hear this, applause!

American success master

Zhu Wencong took Su Yanqiao to Lawrent's estate to celebrate Christmas; he considered Zhu Wencong to be family.

"My boy! Welcome home!" Lawrent greeted him warmly.


"Uncle, we meet again! Merry Christmas!" Zhu Wencong handed the gift box to the butler.


"Uncle, Merry Christmas! I wish you fortune as high as the heavens and a life as long as the southern mountains!" Su Yanqiao really liked Lawrent; he was like a kind-hearted old grandfather.


Lawrent headed down the garden path, taking time to introduce his meticulously designed estate.


Getting old, getting chatty, Zhu Wencong listened patiently to Lawrent's ramblings.


Such a large estate with only an old man living in it seemed rather pitiful.
