The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 253 Arrival in San Francisco

The fact that several thousand people would soon join surprised both Greater Poland and Schulz.

After a brief thought, Dapolan asked, "Boss, with so many people in the company, where does the profit come from?"

"That's a good question!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

Dapolan shrugged. Although he was not as successful as Chen Zhengwei, he had also gathered a group of people on his own before.

And unlike Schultz, who occupies a block, he does not have a fixed territory and income.

Therefore, he is more sensitive to things like companies and profits.

"The security company's income mainly comes from protection fees on the site. Of course, it will be called security fees from now on!"

"The security company's income needs to expand the market. For example, it can provide escort for banks and jewelry companies, provide bodyguards for the wealthy, and provide guards for factories and even banks!" said Chen Zhengwei.

Due to the chaos in the West, bank robberies occurred frequently, so banks often needed to outsource their security work.

“However, these tasks will not be expanded until after this year’s election. Before that, the head office will inject part of the profits of other companies into the project.

For well-known reasons, Chinese are not allowed to be involved in security and safety companies, so the license can only be obtained after the term is renewed. "

Chen Zhengwei said.

Everyone understands this matter. In fact, most of the industries that Chen Zhengwei is currently working in do not allow Chinese people to participate, or they are strictly restricted.

For example, Chinese people can open a family-run ironworks, but they are not allowed to hold a major stake in a medium-sized or larger ironworks.

For example, the warehousing company at the port, or the newspaper company.

Such as owning farms and mines.

Chen Zhengwei registered many of his properties under other people's names.

This is also what he hates the most.

These local regulations have seriously hampered his expansion.

Many things require going in circles.

Security companies that own private military forces are particularly affected. If they do not lift those restrictions, they will not be able to conduct business at all.

"Yu Chong, I will give you 15% of the shares of the labor service company!" Chen Zhengwei said to Yu Chong again.

"Thank you, boss!" Yu Chong smiled.

The labor company has developed well under his leadership these days. Now, 40,000 Chinese workers have been registered. Except for a very small number of those who work on farms for a long time, almost all Chinese workers have been registered.

All employment of Chinese workers must go through labor service companies.

In addition, Yu Chong also used his own methods to persuade some factories to hire Chinese workers.

"The scale of the labor company can be expanded, for example, to recruit foreign ethnic groups such as Poles, Germans, and even Italians! Especially those new immigrants who have just got off the ship!" Chen Zhengwei expressed his opinion.

"Although labor companies need to take a cut, they can help them get better treatment and help them recover work injury compensation. Labor companies can get closer to labor unions in this regard! You know about labor unions, right?"

In reality, trade unions are now very weak and are often suppressed.

Therefore, with the help of Chen Zhengwei's influence and the power of security companies and security companies, labor companies can completely replace trade unions in this regard.

Don't they have to pay to join the union?
And the labor service company will also introduce jobs to them.

"The current economy is not very prosperous, and there are many unemployed people! If we can find jobs for them, many people will be willing to do so. But jobs are limited after all!" Yu Chong said after thinking for a while.

"Xiucai, please ask someone to inspect food processing factories, such as those that can produce canned food," said Chen Zhengwei.

"There are so many ships docking in San Francisco every day, and they need a lot of supplies. We can open some food processing plants and create some jobs. We don't need to worry about sales!"

Just let the ships passing by buy some. They also need to eat anyway, so it doesn't matter whose they buy from.
Although this will cause some other food processing plants to close down, Chen Zhengwei plans to expand the scale of the food processing plant and sell seafood such as canned fish to other parts of the United States via railroads.

After all, the most common things in San Francisco are cargo ships and fishing boats.

If sales are good and the number of fishermen increases, job opportunities will also be expanded.

Even if the food processing factory makes less money, the labor company can still make a profit from it.

Chen Zhengwei repeated his thoughts.

"Brother Wei, I still think you should be the mayor!" Chen Zhenghu couldn't help but speak again.

"If I become the mayor of San Francisco, within five years, the population and size of San Francisco will double!" Chen Zhengwei stretched out his hand and smiled at several people.

"I believe what the boss said!" Yu Chong said with a smile. He heard a lot from Chen Zhengwei's words and was very surprised.

Chen Zhengwei considers the issue from the overall perspective of San Francisco, and even considers the racial conflicts caused by unemployment, so he wants to expand the market.

And not just for making money.

It is hard to imagine that someone like Chen Zhengwei would actually consider these things.

Chen Zhengwei treats San Francisco and even California as his base for business operations.

Because the end point of the route from China to the United States is here.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door and then Attorney Brett came in.

"boss!"

"Give them the contract!" said Chen Zhengwei.

The purpose of this meeting is to thoroughly arrange the company's framework, and everything else will be based on this framework.

"This is the share contract that Mr. Chen arranged for you! If you have any questions, you can ask me!" Brett took out several contracts from his bag.

"Sign the contracts first. After the branches are established, these contracts will become formal," said Chen Zhengwei.

"I don't understand it, but I'll sign it if Brother Wei asks me to!" Aaron took the contract and put his fingerprint on the last page without even looking at it.

The same thing happened to Ah Hu and Ah You. Rong Jiacai pressed his fingerprints first, then slowly read the agreement.

As for Greater Poland, Schulz and Yu Chong, they all had to read the contract first before putting their fingerprints on it.

Once the contract is signed, the matter is settled.

Everyone has a clear idea of how things will develop in the future, and knows what they should do and what they can get.

"Yu Chong, if you do a good job, I will give you shares in the head office!" Chen Zhengwei said to Yu Chong again.

"I will!" Yu Chong nodded. What everyone envied him most was the shares of the head office.

You should know that although the income of the labor company is good, it is only the dividend of the labor company.

But the head office is different.

"Don't rush to leave, let's have dinner together tonight!" Chen Zhengwei said again.

The dinner that everyone had at Dingshilou in the evening was quite lively and everyone was in a very good mood.

Even Schultz became familiar with the others.

Especially Yan Qingyou.

……

The next day, Chen Zhengwei climbed out of Wanyun's bed.

He is extremely busy now. He has to go out six days out of seven, and he is getting married soon, so he simply does not have enough time.

"Brother Wei, there's a letter for you!" While they were having dinner, his henchmen brought in a few letters.

Chen Zhengwei was surprised at first, then he took it and looked at it for a few seconds, then smiled at Lin Changning and Lin Mingsheng, "It's a letter from those students Zhan Tianyou and Huang Kaijia!"

Several people expressed their greetings in the letters, after all, they had been entertained by Chen Zhengwei for several days.

It is also a way to report safety.

In addition, Chen Zhengwei wanted to find a Yale University graduate to work for him. Everyone took this matter to heart and helped inquire among some groups at Yale University.

After dinner, Chen Zhengwei called Xiucai over and said, "Write them a letter and tell them the telegram address and number. They can contact you if they have any questions."

"You arrange for someone to find Juan. From now on, the smuggling of cigars and coffee beans in the West will also belong to us. We will take over all the goods they have!"

"Pick a group of people who are good at talking and assign them to Lin Zhengan and Xu Yan to open up sales in all aspects. Also pick a few from Da Poland and Schultz's subordinates, and recruit some foreigners from outside!"

The four people who were in jail at the time all had relatively good brains.

Rong Jiahong and Rong Jiasheng took people to the Old Silver Mountain, and these two people were arranged to open up the channels.

"It's not just cigars and coffee. Slot machines and food processing are also handled by them. They are considered the sales department of the head office." Chen Zhengwei does not plan to set up a separate sales department for each branch for the time being. He would like to set up a department directly in the head office so that resources can be more concentrated.

The branch will pay part of the money to use the channels of the head office.

When the scale becomes bigger in the future, the sales channels will be decentralized to each branch.

"Ask around to find out where there are pharmaceutical factories that produce opioid painkillers!"

……

While Chen Zhengwei was talking to Rong Jiacai, a ship slowly sailed into the port of San Francisco.

It was a wooden sailboat, and some people were standing on the deck, cheering as they watched the pier getting closer.

I set off from Guangdong on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and after more than a month, I finally arrived.

In the cabin filled with the smell of feces and urine, some young men stood up and looked upwards. The sunlight shone through the gaps above their heads and sprinkled on everyone's face.

"Finally we're here!"

"I almost died on the ship for more than a month!"

"Brother Hu and his friends are doing well in San Francisco. They should have meat to eat tonight, right?"

A group of young people were discussing enthusiastically, with anticipation on their faces.

They were different from the others. They were all young people from the Chen, Rong and Yan families. They already had roots in San Francisco, so they were not worried at all.

Their goal is very clear, which is to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and to make a fortune.

When others saw them, they were a little envious.

"Guang, please take care of me when we get to San Francisco!"

"Don't worry, as long as I have something to eat, yours will also be there!" The young man called A Guang turned around and said with a smile.

Along the way, they became familiar with the other people in the cabin.

They are numerous and powerful, and others dare not provoke them.

They also knew that they had backgrounds and connections in San Francisco, so everyone else tried to curry favor with them, and even ate the most at the meals every day.

After more than a month, they naturally became friends with other people.

"Little one, follow me for a while!" Some people began to instruct the half-grown children around them.

"Xiaozi Situ, follow us for a while, and don't get lost!" A young man smiled to a half-grown child in the cabin.

"It's okay to get lost, just don't get lost on the ghost girl's belly!" the others laughed.

The half-grown child was Situ Xianyi. Although there were children of this age in the cabin, they were all related and brought together, so they could take care of each other.

He is alone.

Moreover, he had learned martial arts, and he was straightforward in his speech and actions. Along the way, other people liked him quite a lot.
