The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 265 No one in San Francisco has ever said that I have problems with etiquette!
"I said so much, did you write it down?" Chen Zhengwei asked the henchman next to him after he finished talking about the assembly line.

The assembly line can at least increase the current production speed several times, and the workers can be trained even faster. Once they become skilled, the production speed can even be increased dozens of times the current speed.

"Brother Wei, I remember it!" the henchman said hurriedly.

"Take your notes!"

"Brother Wei, I can't write..." The thug looked confused.

"If you don't know how, go and learn! Forget it this time, but remember to take notes next time!" Chen Zhengwei patted him on the back of his head and put the matter aside.

Few of the people under him can read and write.

Now many people can speak relatively simple English, which is a huge improvement.

Then he went to the warehouse next door, where there were more than twenty dark-colored walnut slot machines, which smelled strongly of paint, and the glass coin acceptors on top of the slot machines were also installed.

Chen Zhengwei pulled the handles one by one, felt the smoothness of the wheels, and was satisfied after a while.

"Send these to the bars first! Arrange a few people to play in the bars, so that those bumpkins can know how to play this thing. In the early stage, you can make the odds a little higher, and then gradually reduce the odds."

"Set up a separate department and assign some people to be responsible for managing slot machines. Remember to keep the accounts clear and clean for me. If anyone dares to take any action, I will skin him alive."

"First, we will take some money from the club and give it to the head office to build up this department. We will also give money to the factory to produce slot machines."

"From now on, the finances of each branch will be separated. The factory has its own accounts, and the security company has its own accounts. The accounts of different companies cannot be mixed up!"

"Brother Wei, there are not so many people who can keep accounts. I will go back and select a group of people to learn!" Rong Jiacai said.

"You arrange it!" Chen Zhengwei nodded.

From now on, the accounts of each company must be separated.

It doesn't matter if he hires more people. What he is least afraid of is hiring too many people.

After a round, Chen Zhengwei led his men away, and after getting on the carriage, he said, "Hire some more people here!"

Rong Jiacai nodded.

On the way back, Chen Zhengwei suddenly remembered something and asked, "How is the etiquette teacher teaching recently?"

"Brother Wei, why don't you go and take a look yourself tonight?" Rong Jiacai did not answer directly, but said with a sly smile.

"Okay! Let's go and take a look!" Chen Zhengwei was really curious.

"Where is the place?"

"It's at the club, every night from six to seven, for an hour."

Chen Zhengwei returned to the club and had just returned to his office when Wanyun came over.

"Master Wei, how was your trip to the farm this time?"

"This time I went to kill a bear! I fought the bear one-on-one... The bear was almost three meters tall, and the ground was shaking when it ran... At that time, I told them not to shoot, and then I jumped off the rock and went over..." Chen Zhengwei immediately said excitedly.

"Really? Master Wei is so powerful, it must be very dangerous?" Wan Yun's eyes were shining.

"A one-on-one fight is a man's romance! The danger doesn't matter, and it's just a bear, what can it do to me?" Chen Zhengwei said nonchalantly, boasted for a long time, and then talked about the situation on the farm.

"There are more than 2,000 mu of grape vines, and you can't see the end at a glance! The grapes are beginning to sprout and look full of vitality. In addition, there is a horse farm. You can ride a horse for a long time and not see anyone there..."

"Uncle Wei, I want to go too!" Wan Yun was so excited after hearing what Chen Zhengwei said that she pulled Chen Zhengwei's arm and acted coquettishly.

"I'll take you there next time." Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Master Wei, you have to keep your word and can't deny it!" Wan Yun immediately continued.

"I asked Schultz to buy a number of farms around San Francisco. We won't have to travel so far next time!" Chen Zhengwei pulled Wanyun onto his lap.

He also didn't know how Schultz's purchase of farms around San Francisco was going, and he hadn't seen him since he came back.

At this time, Schultz was on a farm several kilometers away from San Francisco.

"Have you thought it over? Since we are both Germans, I'll give you twenty dollars an acre! A total of one hundred and sixty acres, and I'll give you three thousand two hundred dollars!" Schultz looked at the dirty man in front of him, and behind the man, a woman was hugging her child tightly.

"This is not about money. This is my home, you understand? This is my homeland!"

"You can change your home!" Schultz saw that he had been waiting for a long time, but the other party still didn't give in. He became a little impatient and grabbed the other party's collar with a fierce look in his eyes and said: "Now, sign your name to me, then take your money and things and get out!"

"Go to another state, or go east, wherever you want!"

"I've already given you a chance. Don't push your luck and continue to challenge my patience!"

Seeing Schultz getting angry, the other party backed down and lowered his voice: “I’ll sign!”

In fact, his farm did not have any valuable crops. He only planted corn, tomatoes, lettuce, and a small apple orchard. Although $20 an acre was slightly lower than the market price, it was reasonable.

It's just that he was reluctant to leave the home he had built with his own hands.

The lawyer watched the man put his fingerprint on the transfer contract and then put the contract away.

"The deal is done!"

The thug next to him took out a stack of half 20-dollar bills and threw them in front of the man.

"I'll give you two days, and then disappear with your things!" Schultz said and turned away.

On the way, he met his henchmen who were looking for him.

"Schultz, the boss is back. He should have arrived last night."

"Then I'll go see him!" Schultz nodded. He had left town early this morning and therefore didn't know the news.

He also wanted to go back and talk to Chen Zhengwei about the recent land purchase.

Arriving at the club, Schultz knocked on Chen Zhengwei's office door. After a while, the door opened, and Wanyun's face was still slightly flushed.

After Schultz entered the office, Wanyun left and closed the door.

"Boss, how was your time this time?" Schultz asked with a smile.

"It was a good game. I killed a bear in a one-on-one fight!" Chen Zhengwei never gets tired of bragging about his achievements.

"How big is the bear?" Schultz thought it was a little bear. He had seen bears and knew how scary they were.

"It's almost three meters high, a hungry giant beast! The ground is shaking when it rushes over!" said Chen Zhengwei.

This time Schultz was really surprised, even though Chen Zhengwei was tall and full of explosive power.

But it was a bear.

"I'll have someone make specimens of the bear's head and skin, and hang them in the office in a few days!" As Chen Zhengwei spoke, an idea was running through his mind: how to make the bear look a little bigger.

"What a shocking record!" Schultz looked at Chen Zhengwei again. At this time, Chen Zhengwei was wearing a suit with the top two buttons unbuttoned. Just sitting there, one could feel the power coming from him.

Even his shirt couldn't hide his muscular features.

Chen Zhengwei threw him a cigar: "How is the land purchase going?" "We recently bought 17 farms, totaling more than 4100 acres..." Schultz took out a map of San Francisco with marks on it made with different colored pens.

Some of them have been mapped into color blocks, which have already been purchased.

It can be seen that large tracts of land south of San Francisco have been sold, occupying about half of the area.

However, those closest to San Francisco are still empty.

"This farm belongs to Councilman Thomas... This one belongs to Mayor Anthony... This one is Henry White's farm, he's a millionaire, a shareholder of Pacific Steel Company..."

"I know him!" Chen Zhengwei said directly.

"Many wealthy people like to keep a farm outside the city for vacation. These farms on the edge of San Francisco are almost all of this type."

"Mark their names on the map!" Chen Zhengwei looked at the map, then pointed to a few blank spaces in the middle of his large farm and said, "Buy this first and connect my farm into one!"

"Especially if I buy the area around the farm in Mangrove City and connect it with these. You know, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and don't like to see all kinds of colors on the map... It makes me feel very uncomfortable!"

Chen Zhengwei said directly.

Schultz recently bought 4100 acres, which is equivalent to a little more than 16 square kilometers. Together with his original farm, he now has 20 square kilometers of farmland.

But it was not enough, it did not even meet half of what he wanted.

Besides, he just needed his own farms to be connected. The farms near San Francisco were not really that important.

But he also plans to buy some for vacation.

After all, you can't go that far every time you go on vacation, right?
Of course, he had another idea. San Francisco would definitely build a railway towards Los Angeles in the future... Since they were going to build a railway, why not pass through his own farm all the way?

Maybe I should connect the farms in a line from San Francisco to Los Angeles?
The most urgent task now is to resettle the remnants of the Taiping Army in Peru. After that, we can consider connecting the farm all the way to Los Angeles.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Zhengwei looked at the time and asked, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

"I just got back to San Francisco and rushed over here!"

"Let's go and see it together!" Chen Zhengwei stood up with a smile, put on his coat, and went downstairs with Schultz.

The downstairs bar consists of two smaller areas separated by walls in addition to the largest hall.

After going downstairs and arriving at the innermost area, I saw Rong Jiacai, A'long, Yan Qingyou, A'hu and a dozen other young men all dressed neatly and sitting in front of the table. In front of each of them was a glass of wine, a dish and soup.

A 50-year-old woman wearing a dark dress and looking stern and old-fashioned was walking and saying, "Here, we are not only learning how to use tableware, but also learning an art, a praise of life. Remember, every action at the table is a reflection of your personal cultivation."

Her voice was full of confidence and authority, and she kept glancing at the people sitting at the tables on both sides.

At this time, Aaron had a look of deep resentment on his face.

He held the fork tightly in his hand, as if he would suddenly jump up and stab the fork into the old woman's throat at any time.

"When you use a fork, you should hold it like this, not with a fist. Elegance is the attitude you should always maintain at the dinner table." The woman stopped in front of Aaron.

"FUCKYOU!" Aaron raised his fork directly at her.

"Rude! You have to remember one thing, you are a gentleman of status. No matter what, you have to maintain your demeanor!" The woman's expression did not change at all.

"Damn!" Aaron cursed. He had been tormented by this old woman these past two days.

After all, they were all born in the mud, so how could they learn any etiquette? From the first day, this woman had been picking on them, from their clothes to their tone, to the words they used and their gestures when they spoke.

Seeing Chen Zhengwei coming over at this time, Aaron's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up: "Brother Wei!"

"Speak in a calmer tone and be natural in your attitude. Remember, behave yourself, gentlemen!" The woman continued to scold Aaron, while not forgetting to look at the other people around her.

Then he turned and walked towards Chen Zhengwei.

"Good evening, Mr. Chen!"

"Good evening, your name is...Charlotte?" Chen Zhengwei thought about it and remembered this name because of a movie he had seen.

"Yes, Mr. Chen!" Charlotte said to Chen Zhengwei in a serious tone.

She didn't have a good impression of the man in front of her.

Because she was working as a tutor in a rich man's house at the time, and his men pointed a gun at his daughter's head and asked her to teach these rude and vulgar people etiquette.

"It looks like you are teaching well!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile. "I have brought you a new student!"

Schultz: ???

"The streets are not a place for you to stay forever. You should learn some upper-class etiquette, Schultz!" Chen Zhengwei patted Schultz on the shoulder, then turned and left.

He suddenly lost his curiosity.

But it seems that the other party teaches well.

This will save your subordinates from being disrespectful and being looked down upon when they go out to do things.

"Mr. Chen, maybe you should also listen to the get out of class!" Charlotte spoke behind Chen Zhengwei. Although her voice was calm, it was difficult to conceal the resentment in her voice.

Chen Zhengwei paused for a moment, turned his head and squinted at Charlotte, then smiled and said, "No one in San Francisco has ever said that my etiquette is problematic!"

"Brother Wei, no one has ever said that there is anything wrong with my etiquette!" Aaron immediately jumped up and said.

"I think there's something wrong with your etiquette!" Chen Zhengwei glanced at him, then left with a laugh.

As for etiquette, it is enough for your subordinates to know it. It will give you face when you go out and do things.

As for him? Who dares to say that he has a problem?
……

The next day at noon, when Chen Zhengwei and Wanyun were having breakfast, Rong Jiacai came over with a newspaper and said, "Brother Wei, there's a fight in South America!"

Chen Zhengwei took it and saw the headline that Chile and Bolivia had officially declared war.

Peru is urgently purchasing arms from Europe.

"Brother Wei, the people who went this time should be okay, right?" Rong Jiacai was a little worried. He was afraid that the people he sent this time would be involved.

After all, shells have no eyes.

"It should be fine! Peru is north of Chile and Bolivia, and according to the time, they should have returned long ago!" Chen Zhengwei put the newspaper aside after reading it.

There was some regret in my heart.

It’s a pity that I can’t do arms business of this scale now.

In addition, I should expand the scale of the ironworks.

Chen Zhengwei's method of expanding the company's scale has always been to acquire other companies, especially those in relatively mature industries.

　There was a mistake in the previous content, which has been corrected.

　　It is more than 40 kilometers from Chinatown to the farm, and a horse carriage can travel seven or eight kilometers in an hour.
