1850 American Gold Tycoon.

"Let me go to Borneo Island? Look at the garden? Where is this Borneo Island? Is it far from California?"

Deng Wenqi was particularly surprised by Liang Yao's new arrangement.

Deng Wenqi didn't even know where the Borneo island Liang Yao was talking about was.

"Borneo Island is far away from California, but it is relatively close to our hometown, Xiangshan. It is only four thousand miles across the sea from Xiangshan." Liang Yao said.

Although [-] miles is a long distance, compared to the [-] miles between Guangdong and California, [-] miles is already considered short.

It takes only five days to reach Borneo Island by steamboat from Fragrant Hills, and nearly a month from Fragrant Hills to California.

"Is it important what the third brother wants to grow on this Baba island?" Deng Wenqi asked in confusion.

"It's very important, more important than gold." Liang Yao replied.

Among the five brothers of the Deng family, the second eldest, Deng Wenshun, and the third eldest, Deng Wenyu, have the highest upper limit. One of them is now the mayor of Los Angeles, and the other is the finance minister of California.

The boss, Deng Wenyao, is well-behaved and is a senior executive of the American Group.

The ones with the lowest upper limit are the fourth brother Deng Wenkang and the fifth child Deng Wenqi.

Deng Wenkang and Martin are now in charge of Umbrella's gold prospecting in Australia together with Martin, and Deng Wenqi, the fifth brother, is now the president of Xiangshan Gold Mining and the mayor of Reno Town.

In addition to the differences in education levels among the five brothers, the differences in personality and ability among the three also determine the upper limit of their future.

Of course, the five Deng family brothers are relatively speaking internally.

Compared with ordinary gold diggers, the current lower limit of the five brothers is the ceiling that most ordinary people cannot reach in their entire lives.

"Since it's something that the third brother thinks is important, I'll take my wife to Borneo after explaining about Reno and Xiangshan Gold Mining."

Deng Wenqi's mind is relatively simple among the five brothers, and he has no independent opinions. If Liang Yao tells him to go east, he will go east, and if he goes west, he will go west.

Regarding Liang Yao's transfer to him, Deng Wenqi has no complaints. He is very grateful to Liang Yao for giving him everything today. He regards Liang Yao as a good brother and has absolute trust in Liang Yao.

If Deng Wenshun and Deng Wenyu were transferred to a place as far away as Borneo, although the two brothers would eventually accept it, there would still be some doubts in their hearts whether Liang Yao didn't trust him, and whether his role in Liang Yao was not the same as before So important or something like that.

But Deng Wenqi and Deng Wenkang will not.

"Third brother, let me tell you something up front. I only know how to dig gold, and I don't know how to grow the gum you mentioned. When I arrive in Borneo, I will look after the garden for you." Deng Wenqi added.

"There is a special person responsible for planting trees and seedlings. You just need to help me look after the garden and expand a few more plantations." Liang Yao said, "I will let the boss take over the affairs of Reno and Xiangshan Gold Mining."

Pontianak also has gold, and it stands to reason that Deng Wenqi's expertise can also be brought into play in Pontianak.

But this is the property of the local Chinese, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

Liang Yao went to Pontianak to open up plantations and cooperate with the local Chinese, not to grab food in the past.

Furthermore, although Pontianak has gold, its gold reserves are not enough compared to California and Australia.

Liang Yao already had the two big gold mountains of California and Australia, and if he went to compete with the Chinese in the Lanfang Republic of Pontianak for the gold ingot in Pontianak, it would be tantamount to throwing everything away.

"Before going to Pontianak, what else do you need to explain?" Deng Wenqi knocked on the table, urging his daughter-in-law Wu Jifen to bring the food quickly.

"There are some things I need to explain to you." Liang Yao said, "Don't worry, let's talk while eating."

Although Deng Wenqi was relatively young, he was the first of the five brothers of the Deng family to start a family.

The remaining four Deng family brothers have not yet married.

Wu Jifen is Wu Yuanhua's daughter, just now when Wu Jifen heard that Liang Yao was going to transfer Deng Wenqi to Pontianak, Wu Jifen's face became unhappy.

Deng Wenqi didn't know where Borneo was, but Wu Jifen, who grew up in a merchant's family, knew.

Wu Jifen remained silent and brought the food without saying a word.

This made Deng Wenqi very dissatisfied: "Smelly woman! Who are you showing your face to?! Let's see how I deal with you later!"

After admonishing Wu Jifen, Deng Wenqi turned his head and said to Liang Yao apologetically, "This woman is ignorant, third brother don't want to know her like a woman."

Of course, Liang Yao would not compete with a woman. He picked up a bowl of pickled meat with pickled vegetables, poured the juice from the pork with pickled vegetables on the rice, and then poured the juicy rice in the bowl into his mouth.

"Your wife's skills are pretty good. Don't underestimate her as a woman. I heard that this little girl has been helping her father with his business since she was 11 years old. She can write and count, and she can tell more nonsense than you." Liang Yao said while eating.

Pinkerton gave up immediately after trying unsuccessfully to use chopsticks to pick up food, switching to his more familiar knives, forks and spoons.

"Oriental food, I still like the sushi I have eaten at your house, as long as I grab it with my hands." Pinkerton couldn't help but complain.

"I really don't know why your hands are so flexible, you can eat with two sticks." Fremont on the side couldn't help complaining.

However, Fremont did not pick up a plate of knives, forks and spoons prepared for him, but stubbornly insisted on using chopsticks to eat.

Fremont believes that the knife and fork to hold these delicious oriental foods has no soul, and to hold oriental foods, one should use oriental tableware.

Fremont is a senior politician in California. Now the Chinese are the majority and dominant ethnicity in California. If he wants to do political work in California in the future, he thinks it will not work if he doesn’t work hard to understand Chinese culture.

"It's just a habit from childhood." Liang Yao explained to Deng Wenqi after wiping his greasy mouth with a plate of napkins.

"There are tens of thousands of Chinese in Borneo, most of whom are from Cantonese, Teochew, Hakka, Hokkien and Fuzhou. Dutch ghosts often bully them, sow discord between them and make them fight among themselves.

I have already made an agreement with their general manager Liu Asheng, we will provide them with armed protection, and they will find us planting land. "

The situation in Borneo is more complicated, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and the Lanfang Republic is not the only force of the local Chinese.

In addition to the Lanfang Republic, the Dagang Company and the Santiaogou Company of the Heshun General Office are also the most powerful Chinese forces in the area.

The Chinese live together as a group, and the Chinese in different regions control the sites in different regions.

Generally speaking, Fujianese and Cantonese occupy the coastal areas, and Hakkas control the inland areas.

Then people from these different regions joined together to form different companies and parties due to interest issues, and their strength was further dispersed.

The Dutch took advantage of the fact that the Chinese were scattered and that there were conflicts between different Chinese groups to instigate the relationship between the Chinese and force the Chinese to fight among themselves. At the same time, they supported some Chinese groups to fight against the powerful Chinese, so as to ensure the Dutch East India Company’s advantage on the island of Borneo. status.

However, these forces are not all forces on Borneo Island. There are also several sultanates on Borneo Island. They are said to be sultanates, but they are actually just a few small chieftains.
