The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 267 No One Is Better at Business Than Me
Chen Zhengwei didn't expect that two changes would occur after his Sanda level was improved to Master.

First of all, Sanda has been transformed into fighting, and with an additional explanation, one can easily detect the advantages and disadvantages of various other fighting skills and learn them.

This made Chen Zhengwei feel that he was good enough and could learn Cailifox!
The derivative skill of toughness also becomes tempered by thousands of hammers.

Chen Zhengwei now really wants to know whether “every part of the body can be used as a weapon” really includes the whole body.

After all, as a fighting master, he needs to understand his physical condition in order to squeeze out every bit of his body's potential and exert his greatest strength.

Chen Zhengwei thought about it and decided to challenge Anna in a one-on-one duel today to test his own abilities, and then fight eight people tomorrow to challenge his physical limits.

While thinking, Chen Zhengwei felt his hands, feet, arms, elbows, knees and legs were all a little itchy, and the itchy feeling came from the bones.

Chen Zhengwei guessed in his heart that it should be just like those Lin Mingshengs who have been pounding wooden stakes for years, and Muay Thai fighters who use trees wrapped with hemp ropes as stakes during training. After long-term training, not only are the fists smoothed, but the bone density of the arms and calves is also different from that of ordinary people.

One kick could even break a wooden stick, not to mention kicking an ordinary person's bones.

After a long time, the itchy feeling disappeared. Chen Zhengwei rolled up his sleeves to check his skin. It seemed that there was no change, but when he pressed it with his hand, it felt like pressing on old cowhide, and it was more resilient than before.

This is also the change that occurs after long-term pounding and constant self-hammering.

Chen Zhengwei looked at the ordinary skill points. He only had one left last time, and he had one left this time. This thing had the largest number, but he didn't have that many skills.

Chen Zhengwei thought about it and decided that he should learn how to swim when he had time.

Then shut down the system.

I walked to the mirror in my bedroom and saw that I had indeed grown taller and stronger.

His shirt was so tight on his body that it looked like it would burst at any moment, and his pants were a little too short.

Chen Zhengwei measured himself and found that he was 1.82 meters tall. He was immediately delighted.

In this era, the average height of American men was only 1.71 to 1.72 meters.

Due to nutrition, the new immigrants are shorter.

For example, the average height of Italian men is only 1.65 meters, and the average height of Irish men is only about 1.68 meters.

Now when I walk on the street I look down at everyone I see.

They are all dwarfs.

"Brother Wei!" Rong Jiacai knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

When Rong Jiacai came in, he saw Chen Zhengwei walking out of the bedroom.

"Brother Wei, your clothes seem to be too small!" Rong Jiacai said.

"I think so too. The pants are too short!" Chen Zhengwei was even happier after hearing this.

"Brother Wei seems to have grown taller again!" Rong Jiacai said with some envy.

"Really? I'm still in my growth spurt!" Chen Zhengwei laughed out loud, and he found Rong Jiacai pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at him.

"Brother Wei, do you have any tips on how to grow taller?" Rong Jiacai immediately asked.

"Eat more and exercise more! It's because of my unremitting efforts that I grew so fast!" Chen Zhengwei was in a very good mood and taught Rong Jiacai his experience in growing taller.

"Then I'll try it too!" Rong Jiacai didn't want to believe it in his heart, but how much has Chen Zhengwei grown in these few months?

He was also a little shaken in his heart.

Choy Li Fot seems to be very useful for growing taller...

He plans to take gifts to Lin Mingsheng tomorrow to become his disciple.

What if it works?
What's more, Lin Mingsheng is Chen Zhengwei's father-in-law, so it's not a loss to become his disciple.

"Brother Wei, do you have something to talk to me about?" Rong Jiacai asked after sitting down.

"You arrange a few people to go to Connecticut, persuade these people, and bring them back to me!" Chen Zhengwei handed the letter to Rong Jiacai.

"Tell them that I have the best laboratory in the United States, with sufficient funding, and I will pay them twice the market price!"

Although the laboratory did not exist yet, Chen Zhengwei did not know what needed to be prepared.

But it will be there when they come.

Once people arrive in San Francisco, can they still run away?
"Give Zhang Kangren another thousand yuan. He needs money to deal with people!"

Since Zhang Kangren is serious about his work, Chen Zhengwei must offer him benefits. Only when he sees the benefits will he work harder.

What's more, with money he can get along better with Yale students!
"He is quite serious about it. I think he will most likely stay in the United States after graduation!" Rong Jiacai thought for a moment and said.

He had tried those students and could hear it from their words.

People like Huang Kaijia and Ouyang Geng will definitely not stay in the United States, while poor kids like Zhang Kangren and Tan Yaoxun are more inclined to stay in the United States.

As for the others, there is no clear tendency yet.

"It would be great if a top student from the law department is willing to come and work," Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"I've kept in touch with them over the past two years, and invited them to come over every holiday. I'll have a good talk with them when they graduate!"

Rong Jiacai nodded: "I'll arrange for someone to go over right away!"

Before Rong Jiacai left, there was another knock on the door: "Brother Wei, there's a telegram! It's from Situ Ye!"

"It seems that they have arrived in Panama. You worried for nothing!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"As long as they are safe!" Rong Jiacai was also happy for Situ Ye and the others.

The henchman came in and brought the telegram over.

Chen Zhengwei took a look and saw that Situ Ye and his team had indeed arrived in Panama and had already contacted Juan's people.

More than 14,200 Chinese workers were rescued this time. Although most of them were thin, they were relatively healthy.

After all, in the mines, if you are not in good health, you will not be able to survive.

They will rest in Panama for a few days and then leave some of them there temporarily. Otherwise, the environment in the cabin is too bad, and people are almost crowded, with just enough space for everyone to lie down.

The first group of people returning to San Francisco was 8000.

After reading it, Chen Zhengwei put the telegram on the table and Rong Jiacai took it and read it.

"8000 people! That's not easy to arrange!" Rong Jiacai sighed.

"There have been quite a few people coming here by boat recently. This month we've had six boatloads of people, more than 2,000 people, and they're all looking for work."

"Why buy so many farms? Let them go to the mountains to cut wood and build houses. Each person can eat enough for 10 cents a day, and can have meat every meal for 20 cents. people, less than $ a month, I can afford it."

Chen Zhengwei waved his hand. It was thanks to his club being opened and his ability to make money that he was able to do so. Otherwise, these people alone would have bankrupted him.

"One million a year!" said Rong Jiacai.

Ninety thousand yuan a month, Chen Zhengwei felt he could afford it.

When Chen Zhengwei heard the one million a year salary, he suddenly felt bad. He couldn't stand Rong Jiacai anymore and wanted to kick him.

It turns out that quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

"Fortunately, the shipping and food expenses are charged with interest!" Chen Zhengwei patted his chest, still a little frightened. He almost lost millions of dollars in a year.

"Has the mine been surveyed? What are the results?" "Didn't the survey results be sent to you, Brother Wei?" Rong Jiacai asked in surprise.

Chen Zhengwei's expression was even more surprised than his.

Is this happening?

After pulling open the table and searching for a long time, I finally found a survey result.

Chen Zhengwei recalled what he was busy doing at the time and threw the report into the drawer.

After looking through the report, I found that the quality of the ore there was OK, similar to what the bank told me. The main problem was that the equipment was old and small in scale, and the original owner was only focused on finding a gold mine and had no intention of operating it.

"The mine has been taken over, right? Go find some workers who are familiar with the mine, and find a few more knowledgeable people, and purchase a batch of new equipment!" Chen Zhengwei said.

After that group of people arrived, they were first asked to build houses, raise them for ten days or half a month, and then they were screened.

Those who can carry guns are kept, and those who cannot are sent to mine or work on farms and factories, and a portion of their wages is deducted every month to repay the debt.

The boat ticket costs $15, plus the transportation and food expenses, $20 is enough. Add the 5% interest every month, and it can be paid off in two or three months.

"I'm planning to expand my business. The fastest way is to swallow up other small and medium-sized iron mills and then merge them! You can ask the person in charge of the iron mill, they should know the specific situation." Chen Zhengwei thought for a while and said again.

"Ask them to give me a list of which ironworks in San Francisco are worth acquiring."

……

In Panama, Situ Ye sat on an open-air chair on the street, looked at the lively crowd around him, and let out a long sigh.

They had previously occupied the port of Iquique, and in order to prevent Iquique officials from sending telegrams to inform the outside world of the situation, they even kidnapped all the Iquique officials.

Then it took two and a half days to load everyone on board and we sailed directly out of Iquique.

They also deliberately deviated from the normal route to avoid being encountered by the Peruvian navy. Even so, they still encountered a Peruvian navy ship and almost got into trouble.

At that time, even the cannons captured from the Iquique Fortress were carried onto the deck.

Fortunately, they were flying the Bolivian flag, and the other party was a naval ship in training and had not received any mission.

This is how I managed to get away with it without any danger.

Because it deviated from the normal route, it took ten days of sailing on the sea to reach Panama.

Situ Ye felt that what he had done this time would be something he could brag about to his grandchildren when he was old.

"Thanks to you this time!" Situ Ye said to a Spaniard next to him.

"Our boss ordered us to do that...but there are so many people on board your ship, packed together in the cabin like sardines." The Spaniard said frivolously.

But Situ Ye didn't care.

"We will leave some people behind these days and pick them up when we return next time. Will there be any trouble?"

"Our boss has already told us. Don't worry, I will settle them down. But you have to leave some people behind to watch over them and prevent them from causing trouble!" said the Spaniard. Juan has some plantations here, and he could let those people stay on the plantations first.

Although a few thousand people is not a small number, it is not too many either.

They were still able to accommodate it easily.

"Thank you. I'll treat you to a drink next time you come to San Francisco!" Situ Ye said with a smile.

"Today is an insincere statement, just like saying hello when meeting someone: It's a nice day today. If we want to drink, today is the day!" The Spaniard laughed.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Zhengwei went to pick up Anna first.

Whenever he went out, he looked down upon everyone he met.

The streets are full of dwarfs.

When she saw Chen Zhengwei, Anna immediately rushed over, hugged his neck, and kissed him on the lips.

"I haven't seen you for many days. Are you busy recently?"

"Yes, I'm busy arranging some things. I've been so busy that I've been thinking about a very serious issue recently!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"what?"

"The bigger the business grows, the busier I get. I don't even have time to spend money. Why the hell should I do business?" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows and cursed.

"Is this a rich person's trouble? Everyone wants to have such trouble!" Anna sighed, running her fingers from Chen Zhengwei's chin to his chest.

"But you don't have to think about anything today..."

"Of course, but before that there is something else to discuss!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"Let's go to the club!"

He estimated that Juan would come to find him.

Just as he expected, Juan arrived while they were having dinner at the club.

"Would you like to eat something together? I didn't know you would come!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile. The dishes he and Anna ordered had just been served.

"Of course!" Juan nodded, and then said to the waiter, "Let the chef introduce today's dishes!"

After a moment, after Juan had chosen his dinner, he looked at Ana again.

"Just say it directly!"

"Your people have arrived in Panama, and I had them placed on the plantation!"

"It seems to be going well!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Those countries in South America are different from the United States. If you have money there, you can do everything!" Juan smiled with some reserve.

"In the United States, you can do everything if you have money!" Chen Zhengwei corrected.

"You're right! The main reason is that I'm not rich enough. This is my problem, not America's!" Juan laughed.

After laughing, Juan said, "My ship will come with us this time. We have 20 barrels of cigars, all of which are good Cuban goods. We also have 50 tons of coffee beans, mainly from Colombia and Panama. They are all top-quality coffee beans, and the market price is to cents per pound."

Juan came over to tell Chen Zhengwei that it was time to prepare the money.

Coffee beans were not expensive, with one ton costing only over seven hundred yuan. He gave Chen Zhengwei an even lower price, an average of only four hundred yuan per ton, and forty tons only cost sixteen thousand yuan.

It’s the cigars that matter.

There were one hundred cigars in one barrel, and five hundred barrels meant fifty thousand cigars. Those cigars alone were worth a hundred thousand.

"Don't worry, I can take out the money anytime!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile, then turned around and asked Anna: "Do you like coffee?"

"It's okay..." Anna whispered.

"You can consider taking a bath with coffee..." Chen Zhengwei smiled, then thought about it and felt that this was a good idea.

How much coffee can a person drink in a day? How long will it take to sell 40 tons of coffee beans in a place as small as San Francisco?
It’s different when used for bathing.

"Tomorrow I will find two scientific research institutions and ask them to issue a report saying that taking a bath with coffee can beautify the skin and make it whiter and tighter! Many ladies will be interested in it!" Chen Zhengwei said, picking up the wine glass.

Juan was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed: "Chen, you are the best businessman I have ever seen!"

"You are right. No one is better at doing business than me. Otherwise, how could I have achieved what I have today?" Chen Zhengwei laughed.
