Chapter 135: A blunder!

~8 min read 1,444 words

1855, San Francisco,

on the neat blue-brick road, a carriage drove slowly past.

Opening the carriage and walking down, Uther, supported by his attendants, walked into the Far East Group in front of him.

Looking at the people who were working, Uther couldn't help but sigh, because if it weren't for his "discerning eye for talent," how would San Francisco have welcomed this near-miraculous development?

Inside the office on the top floor, Zhang Cheng was listening to the report.

"Sir, we currently possess thirty thousand acres of land, but most of them are in contact with the Indians. I think we must send people to negotiate!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Mitchell explained.

"I will find a way. How is the gold mine aspect? Have the large gold mines nearby been taken down?"

Tapping the table, Zhang Cheng smiled.

Because the land connected with the Indians was very dangerous, so the price was very cheap.

But it was precisely because of this that Zhang Cheng was not afraid of the Indians, because his approach was different from the white people's!

Over the past year, he had already sent people to establish good relations with nearby tribes. Whatever the other party wanted, Zhang Cheng could provide. Through fur trade, Zhang Cheng had also earned quite a bit of money!

"Sir, this is the weapon newly developed by the arsenal. According to the drawings you provided, they are already trying to crack it!"

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Mitchell handed out a box.

After opening it, Zhang Cheng looked at the brand-new revolver, a smile appearing in his eyes.

Because this was not worse than Colt's revolver; it was big and heavy, and it was already close to the revolvers of later generations!

However, there were still quite a few shortcomings, which was that it was still heavy.

Raising the revolver in his hand, Zhang Cheng made an aiming motion and then asked, "How much deposit do we have in Wells Fargo Bank?"

"There is still more than 1.6 million. Over the past year, we have spent too much!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in front of him, Mitchell couldn't help but feel heartache.

Because this was truly spending money like water!

Rubbing his chin, Zhang Cheng looked at Mitchell and said, "What do you think if we buy shares in Wells Fargo Bank!"

"That group of people in New York will not agree!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Mitchell immediately refused.

"Not bad, this is indeed a problem worth considering!"

Tapping the table, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but have his eyes flash.

Because the future of Wells Fargo Bank was indeed a part he needed to invest in!

Mastering the economy means mastering the country!

In the future, why could the Jews hold "America" to command the princes? That was precisely because they mastered the lifeline of this country!

Since the Jews could do it, why couldn't Zhang Mouren!

For more than two thousand years, the Jews basically were beaten wherever they went. Did people really think they were pitiful?

No, this group of white-eyed wolves were never good things. You want their money, but they want your life!

The practice of the dove occupying the magpie's nest was not the first time they had done it, nor would it be the last!

"If it really doesn't work, let's just have a fire burn the warehouse!"

Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Cheng's mouth gradually raised, turning into Tang Mu Cat!

"Zhang, my friend, the things you've been doing recently have made me feel uncomfortable!"

Pushing the door and entering, Uther looked at Zhang Cheng and immediately questioned him.

"Oh, Uther, my friend! Welcome!"

Looking at Uther with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Go get a bottle of wine; I want to have a good chat with him!"

"Okay, sir!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Mitchell turned and left.

But just at this moment, Uther looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Buddy, you shouldn't have made things so big! The DuPont family is very angry about your approach; you are provoking them!"

"You have the DuPont family people come over; whatever amount of money they want, just take it from me!"

Lighting the cigarette in his hand, Zhang Cheng spoke with a face full of smiles.

Regarding knowledge of gunpowder, Zhang Cheng was just a half-baked person: one part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, three parts charcoal, plus some sugar, and you get a Tsar Bomba!

This was all he knew. Doing chemistry was impossible; after all, he didn't have that ability!

So Zhang Mouren raised the corner of his mouth, and Tang Mu Cat's "good idea" appeared!

He sent people to kidnap several gunpowder experts from the DuPont family, and then the two sides started fighting!

However, he was located in San Francisco, and the DuPont family fundamentally couldn't do anything to Zhang Cheng.

If few people came, Zhang Cheng would just bury them in the fields. After all, it wasn't a rumor that the DuPont family liked to invite people to "ride earth airplanes"! If they really let them come over, Zhang Cheng might have to sleep with the mayor.

Unable to solve Zhang Cheng through "HP" operations, the DuPont family sought pressure from Washington.

But Zhang Cheng was not a vegetarian either. Here, he immediately greeted Wells Fargo Bank in New York.

Facing the request of a "heavy gold" big shot, what could Wells Fargo Bank do? After all, to maintain the situation in San Francisco, Zhang Cheng absolutely could not transfer assets, otherwise, the Citibank next door would laugh crazy!

So Wells Fargo Bank came forward to withstand the pressure, and the DuPont family was completely dumbfounded.

Fight, they couldn't fight; sending people over was purely for fertilization.

Suppress, they couldn't suppress; Wells Fargo Bank had already greeted them!

Facing such difficult conditions, the DuPont family's eyes turned red, and they told Uther to let Zhang Cheng come out and give an explanation, even if it was just a step down, otherwise the two sides would really have to fight with bayonets!

"Can you give me a heads-up next time you do this kind of thing? I'm really afraid of being blown up in the carriage one day!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Uther couldn't help but cover his face.

And after hearing his words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "How about I give you twenty thousand US dollars to buy some sleeping pills!"

"Then I truly thank you very much!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, Uther immediately became excited.

However, just when the two were chatting, Uther said, "Recently, the Chinese in Tang Renjie have been acting too excessively. Derrick asked me to tell you!"

"What?"

Looking at Uther in confusion, a look of astonishment appeared on Zhang Cheng's face.

Because his forces were not involved in Tang Renjie. Over the past year, Zhang Cheng had been honestly developing shipyards, arsenals, and slave transportation businesses.

As for the Chinese who joined Far East Group, Zhang Cheng would arrange work for them and would not let them become unemployed.

"He Wei Hall and Long Zhi Hall, aren't they your people?"

【Warrior!】

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Uther also felt the problem and explained in awkward words.

"What ghost talk are you saying, my friend? How could I take a fancy to that little street interest?"

Looking at Uther, Zhang Cheng hurriedly refuted.

He now had thousands of US dollars coming in every day, so how could he take advantage of the street people!

However, hearing these two names, Zhang Cheng also had ideas in his heart. This should be the predecessor of the Chinese Mutual Aid Association, right?

"If you had said so earlier, Derrick would have sent people to handle them!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Uther couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Because it was precisely because of Zhang Cheng's relationship that Derrick, as mayor, turned a blind eye, but he didn't expect this to be a blunder; it was truly too ridiculous.

"Rest assured, since they are Chinese, then leave it to me to handle!"

Looking at Uther with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Help me hand this to Derrick; he must have worked hard recently!"

"I think Derrick will be very happy!"

Standing up, Uther, who had packed his things, left.

Standing not far from Zhang Cheng, Yu Guang said, "Do you need me to handle it?"

"Go let them be honest, don't make it too excessive!"

Turning to look at Yu Guang, Zhang Cheng nodded and spoke.
