The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 549: I didn't expect the chapter title

The profit of several million dollars a year from smuggling cigars is not a small amount of money for Chen Zhengwei.

After absorbing some of the Chinese in Old Silver Mountain into the security company and recruiting more people to fill the fleet, the number of people under his command in the security company and security companies alone totaled nearly 20,000.

The monthly salary alone is almost $80.

Close to 10 million a year.

There is also shipbuilding, fleet maintenance, equipment production and purchase, as well as the maintenance of the police department and the distribution of profits to politicians, which costs 20 million US dollars each year.

That was $1880 million in .

Uprisings in every dynasty in China have fallen into a strange circle. When the uprising just started, the slogans mostly included equal distribution of land and exemption of taxes, or equal distribution of wealth and poverty.

However, when the rebel army reached a certain size, the leader of the rebel army became the largest landlord and rented the land to the people.

Otherwise, the troops under his command would not be able to afford food or wages.

The cost of maintaining an army is too high.

So if anyone dares to touch Chen Zhengwei’s money, Chen Zhengwei will kill his entire family!
Besides, Chen Zhengwei hates it most when someone thinks he is talking nonsense.

"I wanted to beat them up half a year ago. I've tolerated them for so long, and I get fucking angrier every day!" Chen Zhengwei snorted.

"Brother Wei's ambition is getting bigger and bigger! In the past, Brother Wei would definitely not be able to control himself!" Aaron immediately joined in the conversation.

Rong Jiacai glanced at him. This guy’s brain was getting faster and faster.

Chen Zhengwei thought about it, kicked A-Long, and scolded him with a smile:
"You mean, I didn't have a big picture before, right?"

Aaron was laughing and didn't care.

"Aaron, take 5,000 people to Houston!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"Brother Wei, such a big scene?" Aaron asked.

You have to know that when Chen Zhengwei fought against the U.S. Army, he always had about 1000 people at his disposal.

This time, 5000 people are involved.

"The environment over there is complicated. We have to be careful that the local independence army may recover and start guerrilla warfare with us! Those independence army can fight the Spaniards back and forth on that land. The most important point is that they are familiar with the local environment, while they are completely unfamiliar with us. If the battle drags on, our casualties will be great.

“So we have to catch them off guard and decapitate those independent army families in the first wave!

“Then bring the local Chinese back to the port and organize them, and then lure them out for a decisive battle!”

Chen Zhengwei said that he planned to catch those families off guard, organize the local Chinese, and then retreat to the port area.

Otherwise, Cuba’s environment is complex, with dense forests everywhere, and its railway network is not as dense as that of the United States.

The supply could not keep up, the enemy was familiar with the terrain, and we were completely unfamiliar with it. These were all disadvantages. If we dispersed our manpower, thousands of people would be eaten up quickly.

Chen Zhengwei's greatest advantage is his ability to command the battlefield, so a decisive battle is the most suitable.

After dispersing them and capturing a group of them, the battle became much easier.

"Xiucai, the supplies must keep up. Guns, ammunition, mortar shells, grenades, machetes, shovels, bandages, canned food, boots and clothes... all should be sent to Houston. That place is not America, everything is needed there!" Chen Zhengwei crossed his legs and looked at Xiucai again.

Rong Jiacai nodded.

"Situ Ye, first select 1000 people from the security companies and train them in the ability to clean wounds and perform simple treatments on the battlefield. Recruit veterans from the Civil War and hospitals and train them!

"Besides that, you need to find another 5000 people, 3000 of whom will be trained as army personnel and 2000 as navy personnel, to train them to operate torpedo boats."

"Aaron, go get the booklet in my drawer!" Chen Zhengwei said to Aaron.

Aaron went to Chen Zhengwei's desk and took out a booklet.

Chen Zhengwei flipped through it casually and then threw it to Situ Ye.

"Change the training plan in the future and follow this!" said Chen Zhengwei.

Before Situ Ye could take it, A Long grabbed it and said, "Brother Wei, could it be that you wrote the training booklet?"

"Was it written by you, not me? Those things in American military academies are all outdated. They are still the training and tactics content from the Civil War 20 years ago!" Chen Zhengwei curled his lips.

"Hey, this handwriting, could it be my sister-in-law's? It's delicate and heroic, it must be my sister-in-law's! This is a good thing!" After taking the booklet, A Long didn't want to give it to Situ Ye.

As we all know, an American brigadier general and two generals were defeated by Chen Zhengwei.

Sherman was the man who ended the Civil War, but he lost twice to Chen Zhengwei and even lost his life.

Therefore, Aaron immediately treated the military training method written by Chen Zhengwei as a treasure.

However, this booklet does contain a lot of things that are ahead of the times. In addition to the training content, a large number of tactical movements have been added, including crawling, crawling, rolling sideways, tactical evasion, finding cover, etc.

A large amount of squad tactical content has also been added, including formation, support, fire suppression, etc.

"Your eyesight is so good?" Chen Zhengwei smiled. This booklet was indeed written by Lin Changning as he said.

"Although I am a rough man, I have been learning! You can tell from the looks of it that this handwriting was written by a woman. The handwriting reflects the person. My sister-in-law's handwriting is different from that of other women!" Aaron said immediately.

Rong Jiacai and Situ Ye both glanced at A Long.

You have already said all the words, what shall we say?
Aaron, you are eating alone!

"But Brother Wei, when will you teach us how to fight?" Situ Ye said.

"Let's wait a few days! I don't have time recently." Chen Zhengwei waved his hand.

He was simply too lazy to bother with these things, so he could just kill off some of his men and replace them with new ones.

I am going to Cuba soon, and I gritted my teeth and found the time to write this training booklet.

The people from the security company can still make good use of the time and train for another month.

"Go back and form a team of instructors to adjust the training content based on feedback from the battlefield!" Chen Zhengwei said to Situ Ye.

Situ Ye nodded.

"Green, keep an eye on Washington and Louisiana! Notify me if anything happens!"

"Also, you need to train a group of people! We want French, Germans, and British people! As long as they work hard for me, I will pay them enough!"

"These are the main things to do next. You all need to wake up and don't delay things!" Chen Zhengwei warned.

"Brother Wei, we will definitely not delay anything!" Several people agreed.

"Scholar, please stay for a while!" Chen Zhengwei asked the scholar to stay.

"Set up a company for me to manage my assets! I have so many factories and houses that I can't even remember how many there are. It's a bit of a waste of your talent to let you do all these things. Why don't you separate this part out so that you can focus on business!"

"Brother Wei, I understand! There are indeed a lot of things to do now, and I can't handle it all!" Xiucai said with a smile.

"I'll have people dig up some educated and smart people from the Qing Dynasty. Once they get familiar with the environment here, they'll be put to good use!"

"I'm glad you know it!" Chen Zhengwei nodded and asked.

“Are there any newcomers who have emerged recently?”

"There really are two! There's a guy called Wu Yuyi at the bank. He's very smart and has come up with a lot of useful ideas. He's now a branch manager. I plan to give him some more training and then I'll promote him to the headquarters!"

"There's a guy called Su Ya under Ah You. He's very skilled, decisive, and good at winning people over. He's been very popular recently! Even I've heard of his name."

Chen Zhengwei nodded.

After the scholar left, Chen Zhengwei asked someone to call Yan Qingyou over. "Brother Wei!"

"Make some preparations. In a few months, you will go to Chicago and New York and move the security company there," said Chen Zhengwei.

Although Greater Poland is in Chicago and Xu Yan and his team are in New York, they are all doing open business.

Hotels, clubs, factories, etc.

Although the protection fee business does not bring in much income, security companies are a place where one can support his subordinates and firmly control the streets of a city.

Chen Zhengwei was not ready to give up.

"No problem! I can go anytime!" Yan Qingyou smiled immediately. Chen Zhengwei's business was getting bigger and bigger. The security company could even go to war with the army. Moreover, he was not notified of the meeting today. He had some ideas in his mind just now.

I feel like I'm gradually being marginalized.

It's no wonder that he thinks too much. Chen Zhengwei's power is expanding too fast. Other departments are also expanding rapidly. On the contrary, he has been hiding in San Francisco, so it's inevitable that he would be a little worried.

When Chen Zhengwei asked him to expand the company to Chicago and New York, he immediately put those concerns aside.

"Don't be anxious! Our problem now is that the speed of our power expansion far exceeds the speed of replenishment of manpower!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"What's the most important thing now? Talent! We just don't have enough talent! There are too few people who can stand on their own!"

"That's true!" Yan Qingyou nodded.

"I heard that you have a subordinate named Su Ya who is very outstanding?" Chen Zhengwei asked again.

"Brother Wei, have you heard of him too?" Yan Qingyou was a little surprised.

"Yes! I have heard the name! What do you think?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile, taking out a cigar from the box and throwing it to Yan Qingyou.

"He has been with me for more than a year. When he first arrived in San Francisco, he didn't take a job and went straight to a security company. He looks obedient, but he has a lot of thoughts and ambitions, and he is good at winning people's hearts." Yan Qingyou thought for a while and said.

"How can you not have ambition when you come out to do business? If you don't have ambition, you might as well go farming!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"You are not reluctant to let him go, are you? It's been more than a year, which is not a short time. Bring him to me in the evening. If possible, let him stay with me for a while!" Chen Zhengwei said.

He doesn't care whether the other person is ambitious or not. It is normal to have ambition.

As long as I can do things for him and do them well, that's enough.

Otherwise, no matter how loyal you are, what’s the point if you can’t do your job well?

I’m afraid of the kind of people who have ambition but no ability.

"Brother Wei has spoken, how could I not let him go?" Yan Qingyou said with a smile.

After a while, Yan Qingyou left the club and thought about asking his men to call Su Ya over.

Su Ya's name is Mai Shirong. He is only 1.63 meters tall and looks a little thin. He has long hair parted on both sides. He has a delicate appearance and looks like a woman.

"Brother You! Is there something you want me to do?" When Su Ya came in, she was still twirling a knife in her hand. When she saw Yan Qingyou, she put the knife into her sleeve.

"Sit down!" Yan Qingyou said, and waited until Su Ya sat on the chair before continuing:

"Among my men, you are the most outstanding one!"

"Brother Cai and Brother Hello are doing a great job, and the people below respect them very much!" Su Ya smiled immediately.

"You can say this outside, but don't say it here with me! I know what kind of people they are! Their heads are like fucking stones!" Yan Qingyou scolded with a smile.

"Brother Wei is short of staff and asked me for people. I recommended you to him! Do you want to learn from Brother Wei?" Yan Qingyou asked.

Su Ya was immediately surprised when he heard this: "Brother You, you promoted me. I will listen to whatever you say!"

"Just remember that it was me who promoted you!" Yan Qingyou smiled.

"You are smart and ambitious."

When Su Ya heard this, he wanted to explain himself.

Yan Qingyou interrupted him: "It's not a bad thing to be ambitious! If you don't have ambition, you might as well go home and farm!"

"That's why I asked you to learn how to do things from Brother Wei, so that you can have a future. You might be able to fly away in no time!"

"Brother You will always be my big brother!" Su Ya said with some gratitude.

"Yeah!" Yan Qingyou nodded, noticing that Su Ya's trouser legs were covered in mud and blood: "Go change your clothes, I'll take you to see Brother Wei tonight!"

Su Ya left Yan Qingyou with an excited look on his face, waving his fist uncontrollably.

Everyone in San Francisco knows that Wei Ge is the real boss.

He started from scratch and achieved what he has today. He has made a great name for himself in the United States and there is no Chinese who does not respect him.

If you follow Brother Wei and seize the opportunity, you will soar to success.

"Brother Su Ya, why are you so happy today? Tell us about it and let us all be happy together!" A thug saw that Su Ya walked more briskly with an excited smile on his face and couldn't help but greet him.

"I'll tell you later and treat you to a meal then!" Su Ya laughed. Things hadn't been finalized yet, and he didn't want everyone to know about it.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it would be a loss of face.

After changing clothes, he went to find Yan Qingyou again, and then went to see Chen Zhengwei.

"Brother You, what's Brother Wei's personality like? What does he like? What does he hate?" Su Ya asked Yan Qingyou, feeling somewhat nervous.

He had been in San Francisco for so long, but he had only seen Chen Zhengwei a few times, and he only saw him from afar.

However, I have heard a lot about Chen Zhengwei.

The most important point is that Chen Zhengwei’s personality is not very good.

Everyone is afraid of him.

"He likes money, he likes women... He hates people who don't listen to him the most!" Yan Qingyou thought about it and realized that Chen Zhengwei actually hated a lot of things.

For example, you are taller than him, you speak louder, or you walk in front of him... Of course, this is not necessarily the case.

Because Chen Zhengwei mainly depends on his mood.

"But don't worry, Brother Wei is very nice to the people around him!"

Apart from kicking people occasionally, Chen Zhengwei is really nice to the people around him.

A moment later, the two arrived at Chen Zhengwei's house and saw that the house was brightly lit. Light bulbs were hanging in the yard and the house, making the whole house brightly lit.

Electric lights have now begun to be rolled out throughout San Francisco, but for now they are only found in wealthy areas such as Nob Hill and Pacific Heights.

In addition, there are some industries of Chen Zhengwei, such as clubs and the like.

"I have to say, with this electric light, reading is much more comfortable!" Chen Zhengwei closed the book in his hand and looked at Su Ya who was following Yan Qingyou.

"Wow, you are Su Ya, right? So delicate, just like a woman!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Brother Wei!" Su Ya said honestly.

When facing Chen Zhengwei, one can feel a pressure as if facing a tiger.

The thing in front of him didn't look like a human, but more like a grizzly bear or a tiger.
