1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 509 The gangsters in the United States are really fierce

"You don't know about two transfers and one house?" Strauss was a little surprised.

"I don't know." Liang Yao pedaled his bicycle and shook his head.

"Recently, there are a lot of government affairs, and I have to be busy with many mundane affairs, and I pay less attention to civil affairs."

"Since you married Miss Elizabeth with a bicycle team in New York, bicycles and sewing machines have become the standard dowry gifts for West Coasters, plus a wedding house, commonly known as two turns and one house. " Strauss joked.

"You advertised yourself, and the effect is amazing. I heard that this trend has now spread to the cities in the east."

"Two transfers and one house are not cheap." Liang Yao suddenly realized that it was two transfers and one house.

At the beginning, he did this for the purpose of advertising his products.

Sewing machines and bicycles are less expensive now than they were when they first went on sale, but neither is cheap.

"You may not be able to buy an ordinary bicycle for $130, and an ordinary pedal sewing machine for $82, not including a house. You have raised the cost of marriage for Americans by yourself." Rolls laughed.

In this era when Americans' monthly salary is generally only US$7 or US$8, more than US$200 is an astronomical sum for ordinary people.

"You might as well just say that I have become the public enemy of unmarried men in America." Liang Yao gave Strauss a white look.

"At the same time, you are also the prince charming in the hearts of unmarried women in the United States." Strauss continued to joke.

"Handsome and rich, you are already a celebrity in the military and political circles in your 20s, and you have the title of Viscount of France. There is no other perfect person like you in the entire United States."

"Your little mouth looks like it's been smeared with honey." Liang Yao said with a smile.

"It seems that you are in a good mood now, and I have something to ask you." Strauss said poorly.

"Let's talk about it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush between us. What I can do, I will definitely do for you." Liang Yao said.

"You can definitely do it, and only you can do this," said Strauss.

"The construction of Liangzhou is on the right track. I have been in charge of attracting investment and recruiting immigrants in California these days. Although my work has achieved some results, I still hope that Liangzhou will have some high-end manufacturing in its initial stage. Industry."

"So, what do you like? Let's hear it." Liang Yao slowed down his riding pace.

Although the focus of Liang Yao's construction is in California, the two little brothers, Oregon and Liangzhou, can help if they have any difficulties.

"Bicycle." Strauss pointed to his bicycle.

"Bicycle? Bicycle production requires skilled senior technicians. Besides, California also produces bicycles. Liangzhou is a new state. The market size of Xinzhou is limited, and the economic level is far inferior to that of California and Oregon." Liang Yao frowned. .

It's not that he doesn't want to set up a factory in Liangzhou, but that the bicycles from the Liangzhou factory can't compete with the bicycles made in California.

"I've also thought about your questions. There is indeed a huge shortage of skilled workers in Liangzhou, but we can train them, although it will cost more money in the early stage.

I have also thought about the sales issue. The bicycles produced in Liangzhou cannot compete with California, so they will not be sold in California and Ohio.

My family and many friends do some small business in Germany for a living. I want to produce bicycles in Liangzhou, and then ship them to Germany for my family and friends to use their sales channels for sales.I think there will be a big market for bicycles in Germany. "Strauss looked at Liang Yao eagerly.

There is a reason why some people can make some famous names in history. This Strauss does have a business mind.

He can benefit from setting up a factory in Liangzhou to produce bicycles, both public and private.

"Okay." Liang Yao nodded in agreement, he was still clear about what Strauss was thinking.

"That's really great! On behalf of the people of Liangzhou, thank you!" Strauss was very happy.

"However, let me put my ugly words in front of me. Right now, the bottleneck of General Machinery's production of bicycles is not manpower or technology, but raw materials. You have to find a way for raw materials yourself, and I won't help you solve them." Liang Yao said.

"You mean rubber?" Strauss guessed.

"Yes, the output of rubber is limited. The main rubber producing country is only Brazil, and the output is not much." Liang Yao said.

In the 19s, Southeast Asia, the most important rubber producing area in later generations, had not yet started planting rubber.At this time, only South America (mainly Brazil), the original factory of rubber, has rubber.

Moreover, rubber had not yet started to be planted on a large scale at this time, and the output was very limited, so Liang Yao could not buy much rubber.

As for his transplanting of rubber to Borneo and opening up a large number of rubber plantations, it will take at least six or seven years for these rubber trees to produce rubber, and this is still under the condition of smooth transplantation.

"Understood, this should also be resolved by myself." Strauss nodded.

"The gangsters in the United States are really fierce. They are simply lawless. They even dare to smash the city hall."

"If it were in the Qing Dynasty, it would be a capital offense to make trouble in the county government. If you smash the county government, wouldn't you be charged with provoking trouble and committing the crime of rebellion and punishing the nine clans?"

"Isn't it! I think these people are just tired of living, and it's not that they will starve to death if they can't eat."

"Brother Lin, I heard that one of your shops in New York was ransacked by mobsters, is there such a thing?"

"Don't mention it, it's fucking bad to mention this matter. I just received a telegram today that another shop was robbed by these god-killing rioters. These rioters, protesting and petitioning to put pressure on the government are false. By marching It is true to pray that the wrongdoing is done."

"The most chaotic place is New York. I heard that the mobsters who caused trouble and petitioned almost ransacked the entire Broadway, and even the shelves of the shops that suffered the crime were torn down."

"Chen Xiandi, this statement is not good, and Chicago is not much better."

"Philadelphia! I'm going to get angry when I mention this. These people bully us and only pick our Chinese shops to rob!"

"It's not going to be a good thing if this trouble continues. It's getting harder and harder to do business in the east."

Returning to Tingtao Garden after a long journey, Liang Yao heard the Chinese businessmen who arrived earlier complained one by one.

"Everyone stay safe."

Entering the living room, Liang Yao raised his fists to greet the guests in the living room.

"Mr. Speaker, you are here."

As soon as Liang Yao appeared, the living room suddenly fell silent.

Pan Zhengwei from the Tongfu Group stepped forward and asked, "I wonder if the president called us for important matters?"

Liang Yao convened these Chinese businessmen in the name of the chairman of the American Chinese Chamber of Commerce this time, so Pan Zhengwei is called the chairman.

"Everyone, please take a seat and have tea." Liang Yao pressed his hands to signal everyone to sit down, took a sip of tea from the maid, and continued.

"Liang has heard about all the bad things you have encountered recently."
