The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 744 The Real Big Shot
In the meantime, Chen Zhengwei also went to Hawaii, and the treatment he received in Hawaii made him much more comfortable.

King Kalakaua of Hawaii was assassinated and had no children. His only sister was suspected of being involved in the assassination and was deprived of her inheritance rights by the provisional government.

The current interim government is formed by the original prime minister, foreign minister, and interior minister.

As for what the future holds for Hawaii, they don't know either.

When Chen Zhengwei went to Hawaii this time, they also specifically asked Chen Zhengwei.

"Transform this interim government into a formal government, with a four-year term and the prime minister and ministers elected through popular elections. You will be the first."

"First, remove the laws that restrict Chinese people."

"Mr. Chen, how long will this situation last?" several people asked.

"I'll have someone notify you when the time comes!" Chen Zhengwei didn't know how long it would last, but he would just hold it in his hands first, and when necessary, he would negotiate with the US government and let the Hawaiians hold a referendum to incorporate Hawaii into the United States.

As for the long night and many dreams...that won't happen.

How could he possibly spit out something that had gone into his mouth?
He is the only one who steals other people's things, no one can steal his things.

Seeing Chen Zhengwei's attitude, several people were a little disappointed.

Things have come to this point, and they still hope to quickly incorporate Hawaii into the United States, and then use this achievement to develop in the United States.

As if seeing their thoughts, Chen Zhengwei said: "Don't think too much, I have arranged a way out for you! After your term ends, you can return to the United States at any time. Whether you want to go into politics or business, I will give you a chance."

"America will never forget your contributions."

"We will do it according to Mr. Chen's requirements." Several people could only force a smile.

Although Chen Zhengwei said that the United States will not forget their contributions, who can predict what will happen in the future?
This achievement must be monetized.

But since Chen Zhengwei said so, they didn't dare to refute.

Some people had the idea of contacting the US government, but quickly suppressed it.

Chen Zhengwei will not let them go if that happens.

……

Early in the morning at the end of October, San Francisco was shrouded in fog.

Xiucai, A'long, A'hu, and Schultz were all at the port with their people, and even A'you ran back from Chicago.

There was also a Chinese youth in the crowd who was dressed in white and wearing a red scarf. He looked very flamboyant. It was Rong Jiahong.

There is also San Francisco's Mayor James, as well as some wealthy people in San Francisco and members of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.

"What's going on today? Is there any important person coming?" Not far from the dock, David put down the box in his hand and asked in confusion.

Although he had only been in San Francisco for a short time... he had met some important people.

However, he had just seen those big shots appear at the port.

For example, the mayor of San Francisco, several Chinese bosses, and Schultz... He is the boss of the underground forces in San Francisco, a very vicious German.

And the Italian gangs, they showed up too.

The scene of officials and gang leaders standing together looked a bit strange, especially since there were so many Chinese people there.

"The boss from San Francisco is coming back!" Another dock worker put his hand on a meter-high box, pushed hard and sat on it, then took out his pipe, carefully grabbed a handful of tobacco from the bag and pressed it in to compact the tobacco.

"The boss from San Francisco? Chen from China?" David was confused at first, then he suddenly reacted.

He used to be a farmer, but didn't want to live in the country all his life, so he packed his bags and went to Chicago to make a living, but it wasn't easy to find a job in Chicago.

Finally, I was persuaded at the train station to come to San Francisco, and I have only been here for three months.

The prosperity and booming vitality here are no less than that of Chicago, with new factories opening every day.

This is the only metropolis in the West.

He had heard a lot about Chen Zhengwei here, but when he arrived, Chen Zhengwei had already gone out to sea, so he had never seen him.

"If someone hears this, you'll be in trouble. Remember to call Mr. Chen." Another dock worker immediately warned.

"Here, you can curse the mayor, the governor, and the president, but the only person you can't curse is Mr. Chen."

Seeing the other party so serious, David's heart trembled, and he quickly agreed, and subconsciously turned his head to look around.

"The mayor and Schultz are here, as well as those Chinese. So many people will only show up because Mr. Chen has returned." The other party went on to explain.

There is no need to say anything else.

As the sun came out, the fog gradually dissipated, and the people on the dock were still waiting.

In the distance, several ships appeared on the sea level.

"came back!"

"It seems there was no delay."

"Brother Wei prayed to the Queen Mother before he went out, so everything will go smoothly and he won't run into any trouble."

The ship slowly entered the harbor. Chen Zhengwei stood on the bow, smiling and smoking a cigar: "San Francisco, your boss is back!"

I've been away for so long this time...home is still the best place.

Although Chen Zhengwei feels at ease wherever he is, he feels like he is at home everywhere.

But I feel especially safe in San Francisco.

"It's almost winter when we get back!" Lin Changning held Jindan and helped him tighten his clothes.

Jindan hugged Lin Changning's neck and babbled: "Mom...Mom..."

"Call me daddy..." Lin Changning's face was full of smiles, and he turned the golden egg's face towards Chen Zhengwei.

Jindan looked at Chen Zhengwei and burst into tears.

"Damn it, you're such a loser!" Chen Zhengwei cursed angrily.

"You are too fierce, you can even stop the baby from crying at night!" Lin Changning hurriedly comforted Jindan, patting his back gently, and after a while handed Jindan to the nanny behind him.

"Yes, senior brother, the other kids were so scared when they saw you that they couldn't make a sound, but Jindan still dared to cry!" Li Xiwen laughed behind Chen Zhengwei.

"I'm a cannibal?" Chen Zhengwei almost laughed out of anger.

"It's mainly because my uncle is so powerful that ordinary people don't dare to speak when they see him, let alone children. When I first saw my uncle, I was lucky that he was a family member, otherwise I wouldn't even dare to say a word."

"I heard that Jindan didn't cry when the cannon was fired. Uncle's power is much greater than that of the cannon!" Big Head helped to make amends.

Lin Changning and Li Xiwen both gave Datouzi an appreciative look.

Chen Zhengwei then said angrily: "You are the only one who can talk!"

Then put the matter aside.

After the ship entered the port, Chen Zhengwei got off the boat and everyone hurried to greet him.

"Weige!"

"boss!"

"Mr. Chen!"

"You're so showy. I saw you in the crowd at first sight. Are you going to attend the banquet?" Chen Zhengwei immediately saw Rong Jiahong.

There's no way, his clothes are too conspicuous.

When I got closer, I realized that the clothes were outlined with gold threads.

"Brother Wei, it looks good, doesn't it?" Rong Jiahong spread his arms to show off his clothes.

Chen Zhengwei slapped him on the head and said, "It's normal for Xiucai, A'long, and A'hu to be here. Why are you back too, A'you?"

"I haven't had anything to do recently. When I heard that Brother Wei was back, I immediately rushed back from Chicago. I heard about what Brother Wei did this time. There were hundreds of thousands of Chinese people...Brother Wei is a Buddha for thousands of families. How can I not come?"

"Okay, stay a few more days when you come back!"

"James, you look good!"

"Thanks to you, Mr. Chen!" James said in fluent Chinese.

"Not bad, you speak more fluently now!" Chen Zhengwei patted James on the shoulder and greeted the others. "Du Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look good!"

Behind him, Rong Jiahong covered his head and greeted Lin Changning with a smile.

"sister in law!"

"Wow, so cute, he must be Brother Wei's son! I also brought a gift!" Rong Jiahong took out a golden lock from his pocket and hung it around the neck of the golden egg. There were words "live a long life" on the lock.

Chen Zhengwei chatted with these people for a few words at the port before he got on a carriage surrounded by a group of people. Then one luxurious carriage after another left.

The port finally calmed down.

"See? This is the real big shot in San Francisco!" The dock worker in the distance said in awe.

The tobacco in the pipe had long been smoked out.

He then knocked out the ash from his pipe and put it away: "I'm done with my rest, it's time to get back to work."

David kept looking at the direction Chen Zhengwei left, and only withdrew his gaze reluctantly after hearing this.

When he came out to make his living, he hoped that he could become a big shot and have everyone look up to him.

Just now, those big shots, such as the San Francisco congressmen, were all outside the reception for Chen Zhengwei's group and couldn't even get a word in, as if they were insignificant people.

He saw what it meant to be a big shot.

……

Back in the familiar Chinatown, Chen Zhengwei asked someone to take Zhang Yan and his nephew to Lin Mingsheng's martial arts school first, along with two girls.

They are all Malaysian Chinese, good-looking, not too old, from ordinary backgrounds, and have nowhere to go.

She was found as a concubine for Lin Mingsheng.

Although Lin Mingsheng is a little older, it is normal for a martial artist like him to live to be seventy or eighty.

And I don't have any bad habits.

For these two people, it is a good family.

After all, this is the way the world is now, and it's not easy to survive.

“Chinatown is still so lively!”

The familiar Chinatown, in fact, many people have gone to Los Angeles, but it seems to be more lively here.

There are simply too many Chinese people now. Although some people have left, some new Chinese who have completed the construction of the railway have poured in.

After returning home, Chen Zhengwei asked someone to take all the things upstairs and sat downstairs to talk with Xiucai and others.

Let’s talk about overseas things, including Hawaii, Ryukyu and the Qing Dynasty.

Especially the Malay Peninsula.

"Seven to eight thousand people have been sent here. They have been sent to Oregon. The people sent there before built a town there, and the train that is being built will pass through there."

"Once these people arrive, we can build factories there and start logging."

"There are so many trees over there, we can never cut them all down. There are too few people, and the trees are growing faster than we can cut them down!"

The scholar also told an interesting story: "When those people came over, they asked if they could really get more than 20 silver dollars!"

Then he sighed: "It's not easy for Chinese people abroad! Whether it's in Southeast Asia or the United States, it's not easy to gain a foothold, and it's even harder to live a good life!"

"Be brave, it's not that difficult!" Chen Zhengwei said nonchalantly.

It doesn't look difficult to him anyway.

Isn't it all due to his own efforts that he has come this far?

There are two main reasons for his success.

The first is that no one is better at doing business than him, and the second is that no one is more empathetic than him.

The second point is as important as the first, as it allowed him to avoid a lot of trouble, enemies and dangers.

"It must be easy for Brother Wei to do things, but it is difficult for others!" Rong Jiahong said with a smile.

"I haven't told you yet, why are you back?" Chen Zhengwei glanced at him.

"Ayan also wants to come back, but he has to take care of that earl... He doesn't dare to leave for now, so I have to come back."

"Count?" Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment before reacting.

The person who was to execute the zero-clearance plan that he had arranged seemed to be named David Abagnale.

"Yes, he is now the descendant of a French earl! What is that..." Rong Jiahong thought for a long time, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and took a look at it before saying, "Count of Toulouse!"

Due to the French Revolution, many aristocratic families gradually declined or even died out.

The Count of Toulouse was a branch of the Bourbon family. He had long ago fled to the United States and had long lost contact with France.

"How is he doing now?" Chen Zhengwei asked casually.

"A rising star in New York's social circle... Brother Wei, that guy is really dishonest wherever he goes. He was arranged to work in the club, learn the manners of those rich people, and then he hooked up with a rich man's daughter. The rich girl almost eloped with him."

"Is it cleaned up?" Chen Zhengwei asked.

"The person has been taken away by her father. When he reappeared, he had changed his appearance and no one could recognize him." Rong Jiahong shrugged.

"He's now a rising star in New York social circles, and thanks to some successful investments, he's already gained some fame."

"It just lacks some foundation...it will take some time."

"Keep an eye on him and don't let him get into trouble." Chen Zhengwei said. This guy is a first-class actor and a good scammer.

I'm just a little restless.

But it's normal. Capable people are always restless.

When Chen Zhengwei was talking to others, Qiao Niang rushed in: "Brother!"

She jumped directly onto Chen Zhengwei and started complaining: "Brother, I want to pick you up, but they won't let me!"

Then he started talking like a machine gun: "Brother, did you bring me a gift? You've been gone for so long this time, and I missed you so much. You definitely won't come back empty-handed, right?"

Then he suddenly remembered something: "I miss my sister-in-law too. Is she upstairs? Where's the golden egg? Is she a little older now?"

Chen Zhengwu then came in from the main gate. He was very happy to see Chen Zhengwei, and then he said honestly: "Brother! You're back!"

"The things are all upstairs. Go get them from your sister-in-law! We can talk about other things tonight."

The two of them ran upstairs directly.

……

While the group was talking, a group of dusty Chinese were toiling on their way through the wilderness of Oregon.

They took a train to the nearest town in Oregon, and then set out from there, relying on some ox carts loaded with water and food, and traveled through mountains and rivers for more than ten days.

Along the way, there was nothing but woods and wilderness around.

These fertile lands were completely uninhabited, which was simply impossible in the Qing Dynasty.

Just when they felt that the road would never end, a few horsemen returned from the front and shouted: "We see the town, we will be there in half a day!"

Hearing this, the Chinese people immediately showed excitement, with longing and expectation for their future life in their eyes.

"It's finally here!"

"Rest first, eat something, and then we can continue on our journey!"

　Some things happened at home, so I was delayed yesterday.

　　I thought I could finish it by 9 o'clock, but it lasted until midnight.

　　This chapter is a supplement to yesterday's.

　　There are two more chapters updated tonight.
