The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 252: Honest Mr. Chen
"How are you going to accommodate those people? It won't be difficult to make arrangements for more than 10,000 people." After learning that the ship had set sail for Peru, Lin Mingsheng asked Chen Zhengwei during dinner.

"First arrange them to farms and mines, and then organize those who can still hold knives and guns!" Chen Zhengwei said while eating.

"Mine?" Lin Mingsheng was a little surprised. What mine?
"Didn't I tell you? I have a mine!" Chen Zhengwei's expression was even more surprised than Lin Mingsheng's.

Although the mine is not yet in his hands.

Lin Mingsheng looked at him for a long time and knew that this guy was hiding a lot.

Moreover, Lin Mingsheng really couldn't guess how much money Chen Zhengwei had now.

"I have an iron mine. I'll have someone go take a look in a few days. They've been mining for so many years, they must be very good at it! I'll pay them when the time comes!" Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment and said, "We have to wait until they pay off the boat money first!"

"I need to arrange a boat to pick them up. Not to mention the connections I need to make, the round trip shipping cost will be 200,000. You can't ask me to pay for it, right? Even if the boat ticket is 15 yuan per person... I really am a living Bodhisattva!"

In fact, the round trip cost 70,000 yuan, but Chen Zhengwei planned to divide the resettlement into two parts, with half of the people placed in Panama.

This means that you have to make two trips and the cost will be more than 100,000 yuan.

What's more, he also took advantage of the shipping company's favor. Is Mr. Chen's favor worthless? He didn't make a penny out of 100,000 yuan!
He also has to assign jobs to these people.

He has never done such a loss-making business since he was born.

"At worst, I can charge them less interest! 5% a month is fine, and I can pay it off in two months!" Chen Zhengwei calculated in his mind.

After listening to it, Lin Mingsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The boat ticket from Hawaii to here costs more than twenty dollars.

The one-way trip from San Francisco to Peru is farther than to Hawaii, so we have to go with an empty ship. To pick people up and bring them back, we have to make connections and arrange the ship.

Chen Zhengwei did a really honest thing.

Although he forgot that the boat ticket from Hawaii comes with beds, these people were penned in the cabin like pigs and could barely lie down.

But even so, what Mr. Chen did was indeed very kind.

"How many farms do you have?" Lin Mingsheng asked.

"Ten square kilometers?" Chen Zhengwei's words were a little doubtful. He didn't know how many farms he had.

He never went there once.

Except for the initial six square kilometers, all the farms where we had collected debts caught fire and entire families died.

After the bank made a fake mortgage loan, these farms were legitimately and legally in Chen Zhengwei's hands.

Of course, Chinese could not own land outside of Chinatown unless it was in Chen Zhengwei's name.

"I plan to buy a few dozen square kilometers of farms! Half of them will be planted with grapes, and then a few wineries will be built. It should be able to accommodate quite a few people." Chen Zhengwei said nonchalantly.

Lin Mingsheng nodded. It seemed that Chen Zhengwei had been settled in, so he didn’t need to worry about the arrangements for those people.

"Do you want to go to the farm to play? Go hunting!" Chen Zhengwei turned around and asked Lin Changning.

Lin Changning was obviously tempted.

"Let's talk about it later!" Lin Mingsheng reminded them that they would be getting married in half a month.

"Also, the person who was sent here has woken up! But his condition is not very good. The bullet damaged his lungs. It's hard to say whether he can survive!"

Before, Chen Zhengwei had someone send the Chicago man to the pharmacy, but they sent him directly to Lin Mingsheng.

After all, in the entire Chinatown, Lin Mingsheng is the best at treating this type of gunshot wound.

"I'll see you later!"

Chen Zhengwei nodded. After finishing his meal, Chen Zhengwei followed him to the pharmacy and said to Li Xiwen, "Go find Xiucai and ask him to notify A-Long, A-You and the others to come to the club for a meeting later!"

Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment and said, "Call Dapolan and Schulz as well!"

In the pharmacy, Lucky Star Colm had woken up, but he was very weak, his lungs were in excruciating pain, and he coughed up blood from time to time.

Every time his chest rose and fell violently, it caused him to feel dizzy with pain.

Chen Zhengwei walked in and looked down at him for a few seconds: "You are very lucky, you are not dead yet!"

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"I'm... from Chicago..." Colm Lucky Star struggled to say. He finally saw the Chinese man who often appeared in other people's mouths.

"What are you doing here?"

"Let's talk about a business deal..." Lucky Star Colm said intermittently.

Chen Zhengwei then understood the whole story. The other party came to Jamie Mays to buy opium and go back to make painkillers.

Opioid painkillers! They are everywhere these days, with almost no regulation.

Since workers work more than 12 hours a day, the work intensity is very high, and if they don't work for a day, they will not get paid. Such a life is simply not a life for human beings.

What's more, many people suffer from serious occupational diseases.

Opioid painkillers can help them reduce their pain.

It is also said to bring a sense of happiness.

"So you guys are still doing good things? Nowadays, all gangs have a strong sense of social responsibility!" Chen Zhengwei sneered, then said thoughtfully:

“Is this thing very profitable?”

He knew it should be profitable, but he didn't know how much.

"The opium alkali extracted from a pound of opium can make more than 5 painkillers... the most expensive of painkillers can be sold for yuan..." Fuxing Colm was trying hard to persuade Chen Zhengwei. Only in this way would the other party devote all his heart to treating him.

"Fuck, how much does a pound of opium cost? After being made into painkillers, it can be sold for 500 yuan?" Chen Zhengwei was shocked by the profit.

Even if the drug is less effective and of lower quality, 100 tablets can still be sold for $3.

Especially in a factory-intensive city like Chicago.

Profits of dozens of times. The cost of a pound of opium at the port is no more than 10 yuan, and that is the best quality.

"Who is your boss? How powerful is he in Chicago?"

"Clayton Jackson, our influence is huge... as big as half of Chicago... half of Chicago is bigger than San Francisco!" Colm said intermittently, cursing in his heart: Fuck San Francisco.

In fact, he was exaggerating. The largest gang in Chicago was the Chicago Gang, which occupied half of Chicago.

The second is the South Gang, which is the gang controlled by Clayton Jackson. It controls the southern part of Chicago and occupies more than a quarter of Chicago.

Next came the North Side Gang, which controlled the northern part of Chicago.

Besides them, there are some small gangs.

"Try your best to save him!" Chen Zhengwei said after thinking for a while.

If he doesn't intend to return the 220,000 yuan, the two sides will definitely become enemies.

But he was interested in Chicago.

It is America's future industrial center, a booming sunrise city with many opportunities.

Moreover, that place is Republican territory, making it a suitable direction for his next expansion.

Although New York is a financial center, it is the Democratic Party's stronghold, so it is not within Chen Zhengwei's consideration.

Chen Zhengwei left the pharmacy with a look of struggle and entanglement on his face. It was too easy to make money from the painkillers, and it was also a charity!

After considering for a long time, I finally decided to sell the batch of goods again to the pharmaceutical factory.

After all, there is always business to be done.

Building a pharmaceutical factory is not something that can be done in a day or two, and the investment is huge, at least hundreds of millions of dollars, and it also requires experienced management personnel and complete production equipment.

After returning to the club, an hour later, everyone else arrived, including Aaron, You, Hu and others, as well as Da Poland, Schulz and Yu Chong.

This was also the first time Yu Chong was called to a meeting.

"I like to hold meetings in bright places!" Chen Zhengwei sat in his office with windows facing south, providing excellent light.

"We run a company, not gutter rats!"

He didn't know why those gang members liked to talk in dark places. For example, Italians liked to talk at night or in a dimly lit study.

Juan also comes to see me every night.

Everyone else sat on the couch and laughed.

"There are two more people today, and I have something to tell you!" Chen Zhengwei looked at Schultz and Dapolan.

"I declare again that we are not a gang. We are a company. We will make different divisions according to the company's positioning, such as security companies, entertainment companies, agricultural companies, mining and metallurgical companies, and in the future there may also be financial companies and pharmaceutical companies."

"So do you want to have a certain cooperative relationship with my company like you do now, maintaining a certain degree of independence, or do you want to bring people to join the company!"

“This is an opportunity for you! After joining the company, your status will change a little, but I can guarantee that you will live a better life than before! You will enjoy the company’s ubiquitous influence and a higher social status!”

"Money, power, status! What you will gain is far more than what you have now!"

"From now on, when you attend high society banquets, others must respectfully address you as sir!"

"I'll join!" Greater Poland said directly.

He didn't need to hesitate, he had been bound to Chen Zhengwei for a long time, and he also knew a lot of things.

It was obviously in his better interest to join.

Schultz hesitated for a moment before nodding. In fact, he preferred the current model, but he was very afraid of Chen Zhengwei, so he agreed after much hesitation.

"Then we will be truly family from now on." Chen Zhengwei smiled.

"I have already told you some things before. The company is divided into the head office and subsidiaries. You will own some dividend shares in the head office."

"In addition to this, you will also own shares in your respective subsidiaries."

"Even if you can't fight anymore in the future, you have contributed to the company and have dividends. You can get large dividends every year and live a luxurious life! Whether in San Francisco, Chicago, or New York, you are all superior people!"

Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Xiucai is the deputy manager of the head office, mainly responsible for the management of the head office. You own 2% of the head office's shares, and Ah Hu, as the head of personnel, owns 0.75% of the shares."

"Yan Qingyou and Schultz, as deputy managers of the security company, you also own 1.5% of the shares of the head office, and each of you owns 10% of the shares of the security company."

After all, Schultz joined with people.

"In the future, the entire San Francisco will be divided into several areas, each under the responsibility of a security company! This includes Chinatown."

"Except for Aaron's people, most of your subordinates will be transferred to the security company, including Schultz's people. Go back and register!"

"Aaron, Dapolan is the deputy manager of the security company, so you two should bring your people in together! You two also own 1.5% of the parent company and 10% of the branch company's shares."

"Brother Wei, will there be a group of people coming to San Francisco?" Aaron asked excitedly. He had also heard about the group of people from Peru in the past few days.

Most of the personnel have been assigned to security companies. Will these people be assigned to security companies?

"You are well-informed. Some of these people will be selected to join the security company, and the other part will join the security company!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"More than ten thousand people!" Aaron exclaimed.

"Not that many. Some of them were sold over later! I estimate that there are only a few thousand people who can handle knives and guns! The most elite among them will be assigned to the security company!"

Chen Zhengwei smiled and said.

Then he said to Schultz and Great Poland in English: "A group of people will be sent over later, and there will probably be several thousand people joining the security companies and security companies!"

Upon hearing this number, Schultz and Dapolan's eyebrows jumped and they looked surprised.

You have to know that Greater Poland had only more than 200 men under his command, and Schulz had a little more, but only more than 300 men.
