【379】Long Hao in Chinatown

"Okay! Don't worry, Gao Tuan."

The group leader Zhang Xingxing responded, and then clicked his tongue: "Yo, I think the people in Hongmen are making a lot of noise here. What do you mean, young master? How does Fang Mingde manage people? Gao Tuan, what is Hongmen doing?" Do you want to completely turn against us?"

"Zhang Xingxing, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

Gao Tianyang stared, and reprimanded, "You pig-headed, don't you see that these Hongmen people are dogs raised by people who don't deal with the young master? They used to be in the kennel and it was difficult to clean them up, but now they are jumping one after another. I came out, you all wrote it down for me, and when we settle accounts with their Hongmen after the fall, we will also clean up the house for them!"

In fact, Gao Tianyang understood the young master's plan of "leading snakes out of the hole and sweeping out dissidents" long ago, and the personnel were arranged in place long ago. What he said to Long Hao before he came to Milk Square, he also pretended to be confused with understanding.

After all, before the matter was officially pointed out by Long Hao, Gao Tianyang would not make his own opinions and act on his own, so as not to break the rules.

And when Long Hao gave the order of 'let them make trouble, remember the appearance and settle the account later', Gao Tianyang quickly passed on the order, ordering the personnel of the SS regiment to take real actions.

"Cleaning the portal? What a good idea!"

Zhang Xingxing raised his eyebrows with joy, clapped his hands and said: "I have long been disgusted with some of Hongmen's practices, what the hell, it was the young master who saved them from being controlled by foreigners, that Hong Tianzhu is lucky, he didn't let the young master pass the door His daughter-in-law was sent to Poseidon to study..."[

"It's not Poseidon, it's Boston!"

A regiment soldier who was supervising the battle situation of the parade below interrupted leisurely: "Poseidon is the sea god of foreigners, and Boston is the big city in the eastern part of the United States! Team leader, you don't listen to me when I tell you to read more books... ..."

"'Fuck', you read a lot?"

Zhang Xingxue high school group.He kicked the soldier's fat ass with a flying kick: "Why didn't you beat me in the test to select the team leader last time?"

The soldier rubbed his butt, and shouted in grief and indignation: Woohoo, next time I will work harder and kick your 'orangutan ball' down...

Gao Tianyang shook his head helplessly when he saw the people in this group joking and bickering in a friendly manner.Re-raised the binoculars: The Hongmen are deeply rooted in San Francisco and even the United States, and it is unrealistic to uproot them in a short period of time. The order that the young master gave me at the beginning was also to proceed step by step, using practicality and reason to gradually guide the Hongmen into our help, But unfortunately...

Gao Tianyang was right. Before leaving the United States to go to Europe, Long Hao’s strategy was indeed to focus on Fang Mingde and Hong Zaimo as a supplement. He gradually included Hongmen in his account so as to better control the underground discourse power of Chinese Americans. .

after all.Hongmen has been operating in the United States for so many years. Although it has encountered infighting between Hong Jaegan and Hong Jaejin, its reputation and appeal cannot be underestimated. In modern business terms, its cash flow is poor. Some, but the shape assets are still quite generous!

Therefore, with this strategy as a guide, Long Hao invested quite a lot of money in Hongmen!

Hongmen said to the end.It is also an aggregate of Chinese interests who are oppressed in the United States, and it is an organization that does its best to ensure that the rights and interests of Chinese are properly fulfilled.It is not a 'bad group' connected by fists and dark transactions like later generations (everyone knows what I am talking about, so as not to harmonize, as long as everyone understands it).

Therefore, once Long Hao invested a huge amount of funds, it was actually tantamount to cutting another knife in the already damaged gauze: in recent months, the Chinese people at the bottom have a good impression of Master Long.The reliance on Hongmen has been surpassed. According to this trend, even if Hongmen disappears on a certain day, it will not have any impact, just like the sunrise and sunset.The Chinese people will see it when they see it, and they will not express any surprise or nostalgia.

Not to mention other changes, just the return of those fishermen who were summoned by Huaxia Town with shining dollar bills is enough to make the Chinese in San Francisco fall for Master Long...

The people on Long Hao's side are satisfied with such a trend, but some old courtiers in Hongmen must be dissatisfied in their hearts. When going out, many vested interests will of course refuse.

In fact, even Fang Mingde, who has a very good relationship with Long Hao, is satisfied with Long Hao's way of subtly 'smearing' Hongmen... is still unknown.

"If you are not satisfied, then you have to swallow your dissatisfaction in your stomach!" [

Gao Tianyang touched his lips lightly, and said in a voice that he couldn't even hear: "The young master said that everything that is outdated and rotten must be destroyed! Hehe, the people in the Hongmen are dancing very happily now, at least Cass As far as the Tero region is concerned, so far, I have not seen a few members of the Hongmen join the parade to defend the young master...Fang Mingde, Hong Tianzhu, what are you thinking?"

Indeed, in the parade conflicts on the streets of San Francisco, Hong Jae-gen's subordinates were the most outstanding ones, and some "old men" of Hongmen, who had no idea what they were thinking, stayed behind closed doors, and no one was seen. .

Well, let’s not list Hongmen’s abnormal situation for the time being, let’s put our eyes higher, because San Francisco is in chaos now, and the waves caused by Hongmen in it are not dazzling, but more Go with the flow.

On June 6, until the evening, the marching crowd, regardless of whether they were injured or not, tacitly agreed to cease fighting and began to clean up the battlefield and collect corpses.

San Francisco in 1892 was not yet a city that never sleeps in later generations, and it was necessary to ask the city "government" that controlled the power supply to fight at night.

According to the incomplete statistics of the "government" and reporters afterwards, on June 6st alone, as many as 1 people were killed and injured in San Francisco, and the damage caused was estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Among the losses, most of them were shops and warehouses that were stolen and looted. In addition, many residents who usually had a lot of hatred were also knocked open and smashed indiscriminately.

June 6st was the beginning, and in the early morning of June 1nd, Long Hao appeared at the city government. He saddenedly appealed to the parade to calm down and stop causing bloody tragedies!

At the same time, he also expressed his opinion on Rothschild Bank's refusal to accept his check: "I am very disappointed with Rothschild, a European banking giant. , is a barbaric appropriation of my legal property! I represent myself and the British royal family. List the Rothschild family as 'non grata', and unless they apologize, my goods and business will be jeopardized They closed the door! In addition, what I, Long Hao, said is true. Even if the Rothschild Bank is robbed, my financial resources will not be a problem. Please rest assured that the sea merchants who have suffered losses, you will definitely get paid... In Chinatown , I have deposited a large gold brick with a weight of 2021 tons and a purity of 9999%..."

Long Hao's words were like a stone thrown into the sea, stirring up a thousand waves, and those malicious people immediately opened their eyes wide!

What?Big gold brick?

A 20-ton gold brick?

Wow, this Earl of Beihai didn't deliberately bluff when he was at the end of his rope.Fool us with this impossible-sounding gimmick! ?

However, this doubt was quickly dispelled. There were not a few maritime merchants and reporters who visited the salvage demonstration on the Zhenshi that day. They had all seen this unbelievably heavy gold brick. With them testifying, Long Hao The credibility of these words immediately reached its peak!

It's really a big gold brick!A big gold brick with a total price of 1400 million US dollars!

As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts, and I don't know if Long Hao took this into consideration when he said these words, anyway. Just because of Long Hao's words on June 6, it will become even more intense than yesterday!

The sun hasn't quite reached the sky yet.Yesterday's parade crowd was mobilized again. They all belonged to the anti-earl camp. Like mice, they got out from near the pier, first pretended to disperse, and held up slogans in some streets to protest.Then they converged on Chinatown in unison.

Gold nuggets, big gold nuggets weighing [-] tons, as long as the knife at hand is sharp enough to dig a little bit from it, our losses will be returned!

that's all.The head of the anti-earl parade was hot, and they didn't think about the fact that there must be heavy force protection next to the big gold nugget. In their hearts, they held the absurd idea that there are more people and more power, and creditors are justified in collecting debts. With red eyes, they swarmed towards Chinatown go.

--------

Chinatown is not a street, it is more like a small town with Chinese elements. Ninety-five percent of the residents in it are Chinese, with braids behind their heads, representing awe and nostalgia for the dynasty on the other side of the ocean.

However, this situation has changed since last year, because a person who is said to be the grandson-in-law of the Hong family has dug a large gold mine with huge reserves in the north, and led a group of domestic refugees to live and work there in peace.The weather there is cold, the environment is harsh, and farming is not realistic. The only way to fill our stomachs is to use the rich water resources there to raise fish.

Regardless of the real situation, anyway, the person who came here to recruit fishermen at the beginning introduced it this way, and because they dug a large gold mine, the wages are generally very high. Anyone who is willing to go to the north to be a fisherman will have a fortune A lot of money for settling down and an enviable salary that drools.

I still remember that at that time, many fishermen were afraid to go. If it hadn’t been for the opening of Hongmen, I am afraid that this happy opportunity would be missed.

When the first batch of recruited fishermen returned to San Francisco on a 'vacation', and showed everyone the inch cut on their heads and the shiny thick dollar bills in their palms, the Chinese in Chinatown knew that going to the north to raise fish was a very lucrative opportunity. Future jobs, not only is it not cold, there is a lot of money to get, and I heard that if the people above show kindness, they will organize everyone to go to the abandoned mine to 'search for treasures'!

What is it?You don't know what Taobao is?

You fool, don’t you understand Taobao?

That is, if each person pays ten yuan, they can go to the waste mine for a day. When they come out, as long as you can move out the stones by yourself, they are all yours!

What is it?You say I'm stupid?Spend ten dollars to buy a chance to move stones?

Hey, don't you believe me if you're a fool?Damn, you deserve it because you are hiding in San Francisco and dare not go out into the world!

Then where is the ordinary stone, did you hear the previous words clearly?There is a waste mine!The stones all over the place are stones shining with golden lights!It's gold, it's gold ore!

Just take a pocket, and it will be worth at least a hundred dollars or more!Earn a lot of money!

Haha, be envious, that's the real kind person!

With the testimony of the previous batch of fishermen who came back from the "gold panning" in the north, since the end of last year, they are willing to shave off the pig's tail on their heads, and are willing to board an ocean-going freighter operated by armed sailors to go to the "Huaxia Town" in the north. 'The Chinese.There are more and more!

Hey, everyone is a poor person living overseas, as long as they can live well, the braid on the back of the head is nothing!

And ah, it's easier to shave it, as if creating a rebellion against the imperial court in the air.It's like fucking the emperor's old ladies in the air, hahaha, have fun!happy!readily!

Not only is it a way to make a fortune by taking a boat to the north to raise fish, since the "great good man" Master Long appeared in San Francisco, although he has not shown up many times in person, his subordinates have followed his orders, which is really true. Created a lot of good facts to improve the lives of residents in Chinatown!

For example, he placed a lot of big orders for local blacksmith shops, garment shops, and grain and oil companies in Chinatown, and every time a freighter came back from the north or west (?).Young Master Long's subordinates will spend a lot of money to purchase these things.

For another example, the Spanish princess that Young Master Long served (it turned out to be his mother-in-law later) spent a lot of money to buy the title deeds of many poorly managed shops from Chinatown, and after reforming them, he established a company called "Zhongshan Soul". Clothing shop.

At first, the neighbors in Chinatown didn't take this tailor shop seriously, thinking that it was just a plaything for that delicate, unbelievably beautiful foreign princess.It's lucky to be able to live without loss.

But who knows, the clothes made by this tailor shop are really beautiful.Although they are very expensive, there are some foreigners who take advantage of them to buy them. Oh, a suit of clothes costs hundreds of dollars. This is money grabbing!

Prodigal Oh!Oh waste!Luxury!

These brainless foreigners, they spend money like this.Sooner or later we will become as poor as we are!

Many Chinese employees who bought out their 'service years' from the acquired clothing store cursed like this without malice at that time.

Of course, buyouts are not all. When Zhongshan Soul Garment Store was first established, Melissa also "rehired" Chinese employees.Although Melissa's wages were high, but because everyone was not very optimistic about the tailor-made clothing store that the princess played with at the time, not many people were willing to accept the 're-employment' contract.

Although you pay a lot of wages, if the shop closes down, we won't get the rest of the money!It's better to go to other clothing stores. Although the money earned is less, but the money is steady, and it is better than a long stream of water!Many Chinese employees who are unwilling to rehire think so.

But soon they regretted it. The clothes of Zhongshanhun became more and more beautiful and fashionable, and the sales became more and more expensive, but there was no sign of bankruptcy.

On the contrary, the sales volume is increasing day by day. Within a month, many branches have been opened outside of Chinatown. According to the feedback from the Chinese employees working there: Zhongshan Soul’s clothes are very popular with dignitaries and dignitaries in big cities in the eastern United States, and they cost several hundred dollars. A set is not expensive, as soon as a brand-new style comes out, it will be snapped up and put on a train to be transported to New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities!

The employees working in Zhongshan Soul received almost the upper limit stipulated in the contract in the first month, and the total amount was more than they worked hard for a year before!

But later, the neighbors in Chinatown gradually realized that Master Long and that Princess Melissa actually went to Europe and cured the Queen of England's stubborn illness. Not only did they get back an "earl" and a "princess", The brand of Zhongshan soul entered the British royal family!

Hey, this is terrible, the British royal family, isn't the soul of Zhongshan a tribute for the queen?

No wonder the price keeps going up!Employees' salaries and benefits are also doubling somersaults! !

Knowing that I was mistaken, many old tailors and apprentices who were unwilling to go to Zhongshan Soul at the beginning, now want to join Zhongshan Soul to help... Unfortunately, it is too late now, Zhongshan Soul is no longer recruiting, Or to be more precise, it no longer recruits these 'experienced' tailors with low levels of knowledge. What it needs is compound fashion talents who have received higher education in the West.

Faced with this situation, these people are not all regretful, lamenting that they were short-sighted at the beginning, regretting that they missed the golden carriage to the destination of happiness!

And now, a set of Zhongshan Soul's clothes is going to be sold in limited quantities, and a set starts at least ten thousand dollars, and the price is not on the market... Hearing the news, those people felt pain in their chests, beat their chests and stamped their feet, and couldn't help it. Few people have to face their own mother-in-law's nagging every night.

"It's you. At the beginning, you were invited to go by the contract document, but you didn't want to go. Now look at Wang Peak, the opposite door. He can earn more than 20 US dollars every day, and there are dividends and benefits every two months! But look at you, you are there every day. My foreigner's ready-to-wear shop works from dawn to dusk, and the money I get in a month is less than 100 dollars! Huh, I'm really blind, why did I fall in love with you, a worthless bastard!"

"Call, call, you know how to call, who told me that the Zhongshanhun clothing store was unreliable and easy to fall, and refused to let me go! It's good now, and you are the one who complains, huh, If I’m working in Zhongshanhun now, I’m sure I’ll do better than that Wang Peak, and if I make money, my concubine will buy two of them, so I won’t suffer from the idleness of you yellow-faced woman all day long!”

"Oh, Chen Tebu, you can do it, and you still want to take a concubine? Wow, my mother is dead, and I will fight with you, a heartless man today! Let you take a concubine, let you take a concubine, let you have little flesh in your crotch Killing talents still need to be bothered..." (To be continued...)
