With the help of Sheriff George Maher, William Hope came to Zhao to pass on his salary after terminating his contract with his original employer.
At this time, Miao Cuihua was shaving Zhao Chuanxin.
Zhao Chuanxin likes sunshine, so he doesn’t like to stay indoors.
Miao Cuihua sat on the stool, leaned over and shaved his face seriously and carefully with an old-fashioned razor.
After working hard for several days, Zhao Chuanxin rarely took a break and enjoyed the leisurely sunshine.
Having a haircut and shaving are the most intoxicating activities. After a while, Zhao Chuanxin's consciousness began to blur, and he was just one step away from falling asleep.
Just when the defense of sobriety was in danger, damn Freddy Pavitt’s voice sounded, “Master, the cowboy named William Hope of that day is here.”
Miao Cui Hua glared at Freddy Pavitt dissatisfied.
In the past few days, Zhao Chuanxin had been forgetting to sleep and eat, and his beard was unkempt, which made her feel very distressed.
Finally took a break and was interrupted by Freddy Pavitt.
Zhao Chuanxin opened his eyes and "bring him here."
William Hope was looking at the size and luxury of the manor in astonishment.
He did not expect that the irritable man who George Maher refused to tell him his identity would actually own such a magnificent manor.
As a result, I became more cautious.
This is the humility a low-level person should have when facing capitalists.
He took off his hat and bent down, "Hello, sir."
Trying to look less vulgar.
But the stench of cow dung and sweat could not be concealed.
Zhao Chuanxin took the wet towel from Miao Cuihua and wiped off the remaining foam on his face.
He got straight to the point, "Serena, let me ask you, do you know this place, Cooldex?"
William Hope nodded, "Yes, it's in Westchester." County, not far from North Tarrytown, on the east bank of the Hudson River. I once wanted to try my luck there. There were too many wild animals in the area and no one wanted to risk hiring people to herd them, but the pasture was good."
Zhao Chuanxin stood up and patted his shoulder, "Xiao Wei, I am very optimistic about you. God will give you a big responsibility, can you take it?"
Miao Cuihua, who is familiar with Zhao Chuanxin , immediately knew that Zhao Chuanxin might be plotting against someone.
When you are polite to others, you must ask for something. Zhao Chuanxin always demonstrates this vividly.
But William Hope didn't understand. He was flattered, "Sir, I can do nothing but ride horses and herd cattle."
"Humility, that's not what you Europeans and Americans are doing. , too modest."
"Ah this"
Isn't this the stereotype that Europeans and Americans have about Asians?
"I want to buy a batch of cattle. Breeding in Kurdex, what breed do you think I should buy?"
William Hope thought for a moment and carefully answered, "Sir, Scottish hardy cattle, Jesse cattle, Holstein cattle, Brown Swiss cattle, these What kind of cows can produce milk?It produces meat and is a more suitable breed of cattle for grazing in Kurdex. Being close to New York City, whether it is beef or milk, there is no need to worry about sales. "
Listening to what he said, it seems that this cowboy still has two skills.
Zhao Chuanxin said, "How many cows do you think you can raise with your ability? "
"Sir, my guys and I can put up to 400 heads. But there are many ferocious beasts in Kurdex. If you prepare some shepherd dogs, you are most likely to have 300 of them. ”
Zhao Chuanxin was shocked.
Outside the customs, because there was no pasture, even in later generations, his family raised cattle. Zhao Chuanxin saw that the most he raised was only ten.
But William Hope keeps talking about three to four hundred heads.
Zhao Chuanxin is a bit overwhelmed. Now is the time to spend money. >
He asked slightly hesitantly, "How much does a cow cost?"
Speaking of this, that was William Hope's specialty.
He knew everything about it: "Sir, that's the price." It depends on whether you want to produce milk or meat. I recommend buying a Holstein cow, a calf. If the calf has a beautiful color, a good frame, and thick legs, the price may reach $30. If it's regular, it'll cost at least about $18. In order to produce quickly, the adult cattle and young cattle should be mixed. It is best to buy the mother cow and the calf together. The price of adult cattle varies widely, ranging from US$80 to US$150. If you want to buy at a low price, it is best to go to the south and west to buy. Each cow can be at least 510 US dollars cheaper."
Zhao Chuanxin won the prize. After a rough calculation, I, Cao, have a lot of eight classics. Money.
Buying cattle will definitely require additional equipment.
And he doesn’t have time to go west or south to buy cattle.
Think of it. It was a lot of money, so he hesitated even more.
Relocating the factory, plus buying cattle, was another big bill.
Zhao Chuanxin stroked his hair, "Otherwise, don't pay 400." If there are too many heads, let’s not have 300 heads. I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it, so just 200 heads. ”
Didn’t you just say that you would be given a big responsibility?
William Hope was confused.
Why are you afraid that you can’t manage it now?
When he was about to speak, Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him, "That's it. Serena, I am very optimistic about you. So, I will keep this batch of cattle in your name. At the same time, you have to build a local factory, also under your name. "
This time it was William Hope's turn to be shocked.
He stammered and his mouth went dry, "Sir, I, I really don't understand anything else. "
"Don't worry, I will go with you. If you don’t know how to do it, you can learn slowly, and one day you will know how to do it. ”
Originally, Zhao Chuanxin did not intend to suffer this fate.
But he has to raise 200 cows, which is not a small sum of money. He would not be relieved if he did not go.
p>
People in this era, whether in the East or the West, do not dare to accept the pie that falls from the sky casually.
William Hope hesitated, but Zhao Chuanxin did not give him a chance. He turned to Freddie Pavitt and said, "Tomorrow, I will set off and take William to Kurdex to explore the road first. Find a good place and I will inform you When the time comes, you will slowly move the factory there. If anyone asks, just say you are bankrupt and sell the equipment." Freddy Pavitt pulled Zhao Chuanxin aside and whispered, "This. William Hope, is he reliable?"
"I will gradually make him lose the courage to be greedy," Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully.
Benjamin Goldberg and Marcus Nkrumah went to the punching bag to practice boxing, and came back breathless and said, "Master, I think I can beat everyone in the school."
Zhao Chuanxin looked at his little arms and legs and shook his head, "Obviously, you can't."
Benjamin Goldberg was a little frustrated.
"Master, what's the use of my practicing boxing?"
"You should study like a teacher, and don't always show off your courage. Collect the soldiers from all over the world, gather them in Xianyang, and become The God of War is what a man should do."
Freddie Pavitt wiped the sweat from his forehead.
If you want to say that the best man in the world, it must be the master
Zhao Chuanxin then said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense. Tomorrow, master will take you to Kurdex. We still have to design a semi-automatic rifle on the way, and time is not waiting for us.”
While Zhao Chuanxin and the American consortium were engaging in turn-based tactics, the rest of the world was also moving at high speed.
Hawaii.
Since Hawaii was returned to the United States, the United States has introduced many laws targeting Asian immigrants.
For example, for the Qing Dynasty, each boat could not have more than 25 people, and they had to hold a special passport to land on the island.
At that time, Zhao Chuanxin and others were stopped at the port.
These laws also target Japanese immigrants. In Hawaii, the largest immigrant group is Japanese.
Hawaii recently passed a law requiring all immigrants to be fingerprinted when entering Hawaii.
The people of the Qing Dynasty were used to being bullied and did not dare to resist.
But the Japanese exploded when they heard it.
The Japanese feel good about themselves now. Since the victory in the Russo-Japanese War, especially the victory in the Battle of Tsushima, they feel that they are capable and can compete with European and American powers.
Obviously, although this law targets the entire Asian group, it is better to say that it mainly targets the Japanese who immigrate to Hawaii.
Because the number is too large, it has aroused the vigilance of the United States.
This contradiction has been accumulated for the time being.
After Zhao Chuanxin left Hawaii, Japan Plant Fertilizer Co., Ltd. planned to acquire Hawaii's Golden Island, where it planned to plant pine trees for timber and build a large-scale agricultural park.
The local Kanaka people stopped working as soon as they heard this.
They planted good land for sugarcane cultivation on Golden Island, but the Japanese actually wanted itCross-cutting
Conflict broke out completely.
The Japanese and the Kanaka people protested at the same time, but the Japanese protested against the United States by marching, while the Kanaka people, under the leadership of the high priest, were fully prepared to fight with the Japanese. .
Although they have now become a minority in Hawaii, they are no worse than the Japanese in terms of warlikeness.
American reporters heard the news and came to Hawaii for interviews, hoping to get first-hand information.
Then,
They heard the arrogant slogans of the Japanese immigrant parade.
"Hawaii should belong to Japan"
"Americans get out of Hawaii, or Japan will bomb San Francisco"
American reporters were stunned
< p>Who gave them the courage to shout this?This kind of slogan is definitely not groundless.
They began to conduct in-depth investigation and found out that this slogan was shouted by a Japanese military officer named Miyoshi Zengzang in order to strengthen his emotions during his speech.
Of course he cannot represent Japan.
But in the eyes of American reporters, this is a provocation
They also received news that the top Japanese military officials, led by Hasegawa Yoshimichi, often use the United States as their imaginary enemy. In a war with the United States, Japanese warships would bombard and land wherever they wanted.
When the news was published in American newspapers, some people laughed, some felt that Japan was overestimating its capabilities, and some felt that Japan was a threat.
White house,
Da Luo put down the newspaper and first asked his secretary and assistant William Bro, "The Queen of the Netherlands will arrive tomorrow, right?"
William Bro He is a workaholic and is Da Luo's personal secretary. He handles every detail and everything will go through his hands.
He said, "Yes, sir, I have already arranged the official reception, and the rest is up to Madam."
Da Luo clicked on the newspaper again, "Japan People are really arrogant. However, they are a jealous, allergic and warlike nation. They can do anything and pose a great threat to Hawaii."
William Broe nodded in approval." Sir, our Great White Fleet is almost ready, so don't worry too much about Japan."
Da Luo was a little angry at Japan's attitude, "These damn bastards are always unwilling to stop, let the navy prepare. We want them to sail around the world before Christmas and let the Japanese see our force." Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
