Chapter 101 The scene was full of victims.

After hearing this, Mars was completely stunned. She never expected such a reason to be hidden behind this matter!

When Mars looked at Renoson, Locke, and Sanchez, their faces were all filled with eager expressions, as if they were looking forward to the next development of the story.

She asked in disbelief, "Are you guys really that in sync? It's as if you planned this in advance."

Salmer Koch, who was usually a man of few words, spoke up to clear Mars's doubts.

"Because every family present has suffered at the hands of Human Rights Organizations. The Vanderbilt Family's history of building railroads is repeatedly mentioned and labeled as anti-human."

"The Morgan Family made their fortune in finance and has always been synonymous with vampires. The DuPont Family made theirs in gunpowder and has been deeply involved in the chemical and military industries for many years, earning them the title of warmongers."

"Our Koch Industries mainly deals in chemicals and has been slandered by Human Rights Organizations as bloody capitalists who make their fortune by burning human lives."

"In reality, that trash only does these things to make money. If they just wanted money, that would be fine; we'd just give it to them and be done with it."

"But they don't stop after taking the money. Even after being paid, they still ruin our reputations, and they demand more money every year, only becoming slightly more restrained than before."

"Now that there's a chance to mess with them, why not try?"

Salmer Koch's words were met with unanimous agreement. Locke Vanderbilt, who felt this most deeply, couldn't help but add:

"Why do you think our Vanderbilt Family's reputation is so bad? Isn't it because those trashy Human Rights Organizations helped spread the word?"

"Back then, all the capitalists in the world were the same. Why focus on smearing our Vanderbilt Family? Wasn't it just because our family sold off all the railroads back then?"

"Seeing that our family had no power, they targeted us relentlessly. Why should we swallow this insult?"

"Don't think your Mars Family is any better. Your family is in the sugar business, and you put a lot of effort into promoting corn syrup."

"Human Rights Organizations have targeted the companies under your Mars Family more than once over this, and your family has paid plenty of protection fees over the years."

Salmer Koch and Locke Vanderbilt went back and forth, making Mars feel utterly ashamed, as she really didn't know about her family's business being extorted by Human Rights Organizations.

In 1967, high-fructose corn syrup was successfully commercialized in America. That year, the fructose content of corn syrup was fifteen percent.

By 1968, the fructose content had increased to forty-two percent, and its sweetness was basically comparable to cane sugar.

As a world-leading sugar giant, how could the Mars Family pass up this opportunity to make a fortune? They unhesitatingly began replacing the cane sugar in their candies and snacks with corn syrup.

The cost of corn syrup was less than sixty percent of the cost of cane sugar, and there was no significant difference in taste. The Mars Family's actions were beyond reproach from a business perspective.

But corn syrup had a major flaw: the high fructose content in corn syrup is not easily digested or metabolized by the human body, leading to excess calories and fat accumulation. To put it bluntly, it's indigestible and easily causes weight gain.

Furthermore, corn syrup places a huge burden on the liver and pancreas. Long-term consumption can easily induce obesity, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and various other cardiovascular diseases.

When the American Medical Union saw the long-term side effects of corn syrup consumption, they were amazed. Weren't these chronic diseases exactly what they liked most? So, they also joined the ranks of those promoting corn syrup.

But the problem was that the public got sick from eating sweets, and they would never think of the American Medical Union as an accomplice. Therefore, the Mars Family, standing in the front row as the biggest target, became the bullseye.

Although Mars was a woman and hadn't been involved in the family's core business, she still knew a bit about these issues.

Women's political sensitivity is generally low, and Mars was no exception. So, when everyone else was in sync about setting a trap for the Human Rights Organizations, she was the only one who didn't react in time.

Who could blame them? All these great families were at odds with the Human Rights Organizations!

It was no exaggeration to describe the current Human Rights Organizations as incredibly powerful. Several of their key leaders could stand on equal footing with governors of various states in America.

Once the main leaders of the organization gained fame, their success rate in elections was generally quite high. Therefore, many talented people who wanted to make a mark in politics used Human Rights Organizations as the starting point for their political careers.

This was mainly due to the ideological struggle between the US and the Soviet Union; Human Rights Organizations were a trump card for America.

At this time, no one would have imagined that decades later, Human Rights Organizations would fall to becoming weapons used by major corporations, noble families, and politicians to attack their enemies.

Wang Xiuyuan was different from these wealthy heirs; he simply felt that America wasn't chaotic enough.

Currently, the dominance of Human Rights Organizations didn't meet his expectations. Only when everyone was evenly matched would the situation become chaotic. If America didn't descend into chaos, how could he harvest sin points?

Wang Xiuyuan clapped his hands, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.

"The way to operate this is very simple. You can push meat processing companies to the front and let them handle the purchase of hunted wild boar meat."

"Then, make private cooperation agreements with Animal Protection Organizations, Nature Conservation Organizations, the Agricultural Association, and the Livestock Association. There's a high probability they will agree."

"If the Human Rights Organizations don't jump out to cause trouble, then act as if nothing happened. But once they do, those four organizations and the meat companies must come out and open fire."

"Anyway, I've already told you the specific operational process. You'll have to consider for yourselves whether to do it or not, as long as it doesn't affect the prison's operations."

"That's all. If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

Wang Xiuyuan was about to leave when, unexpectedly, Clinton Prison's Logistics Supervisor stopped him.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Wang."

Wang Xiuyuan was a bit confused. He had already addressed all the issues during his inspection. He couldn't think of anything else that needed solving.

"What is it? Just say it."

"According to federal regulations, the prison needs to provide fish to the inmates regularly to supplement their diet. We've already discussed vegetables and meat, but you haven't mentioned fish yet."

"Also, fruit isn't cheap these days either. I wonder if you have any suggestions regarding the procurement of fish and fruit?"

Wang Xiuyuan's forehead was covered in black lines. America was really ridiculous—they were just a bunch of inmates in prison.

They had no shortage of vegetables and meat at every meal, and yet they still had to provide them with fish and fruit. Was this being in prison or on vacation?

This was only because America was currently super rich and had a large enough budget to squander. What if they tried this in a few decades?

When a large number of ordinary people at the bottom worked their hearts out and still struggled to eat their fill, who would care about these prisoners who had committed crimes? Not starving the prisoners to death was only because they could still work and make money.
