Chapter 995: The missing gold, five whips upon starting work!
California, Wells Fargo Bank,
When five million dollars worth of gold disappeared, the New York headquarters immediately sent a letter of reprimand.
That was, no matter what they did, they had to find this batch of gold back.
Facing the message from headquarters, the branch manager could only dispatch the most elite cowboys in his hands, and seek help from the Texas Rangers.
After all, five boxes of gold in this era were equivalent to more than 800 million today!
Having lost such a huge sum, let alone the New York headquarters exploding, even during the period when Zhang Cheng was president, he would have gone crazy.
A month later, the already prosperous Big Whiskey town was now crowded because of the gold.
However, many people didn't come to look for gold, but to work.
Because Zhang Cheng had spread the news of recruitment, causing many people to come here to "work."
Watching the long lines at the scene, Zhang Cheng said with satisfaction: "It seems many people like the reward I give!"
Hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, Lai Fujie beside him said: "Boss, there are many white people among them? Should we throw them all into the mine?"
"Lai Fujie, how many times have I told you, we must treat everyone equally. Since they are here to look for work, why should we treat them differently!"
Looking at Lai Fujie with a smile, the corners of Zhang Cheng’s mouth gradually rose.
But just as he picked up his wine glass, LaBoeuf appeared.
Looking at the old acquaintance in front of him, Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "What are you doing here looking for me? LaBoeuf!"
"Do you know about the gold?"
Speaking to Zhang Cheng, LaBoeuf couldn't help but ask, and then sat down on his own.
Because the two had fought side by side before, getting along wasn't too awkward.
"I've heard of it, but after it was robbed, I led people to pursue the robbers, but the snow was too heavy!"
Explaining to LaBoeuf, Zhang Cheng showed a very helpless look.
Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, LaBoeuf said: "Then do you want to join together? I heard the reward offered by Wells Fargo is very high, nearly 200,000 dollars!"
"Sorry, LaBoeuf, I'm busy with the mine!"
Apologizing to LaBoeuf, Zhang Cheng showed a look of being unable to help.
After all, he was the one who robbed the gold, and that group of robbers just passed it through their hands.
Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, LaBoeuf didn't lose heart, but smiled and said: "If I need help, I hope you can help!"
"Of course, no problem, after all, we are partners!"
Extending his hand, Zhang Cheng watched LaBoeuf leave with a smile.
And just then, Tristan walked up and said: "Boss, the first batch of people is ready and can be sent to the mine at any time!"
"Then take them away. Remember, take everyone, don't leave anyone behind, understand?"
Looking at Tristan, Zhang Cheng smiled.
"I know, don't worry!"
Guaranteeing to Zhang Cheng, Tristan thought the other party was afraid that this group of people would accidentally enter the Indian territory and be in danger.
But he didn't know that Zhang Cheng meant for him to take everyone, so that no labor force could escape!
After five or six days of long travel, the first batch of three hundred people arrived at the mine.
However, when they arrived, everyone was dumbfounded, because it was too barren here, completely different from what was said in the recruitment news.
And just then, rapid hoofbeats rang out, and the Indians appeared.
When they held long guns and surrounded the people, they immediately roared.
Looking at the fierce Indians, many people at the scene were panicked.
Some even intended to pull out the revolver from their waist, but fell into a pool of blood in the next second.
Standing at a commanding height, Krieg coldly overlooked everything and continued to stare at them.
"Everyone, welcome to the mine. From now on, you will work here until you die!"
Speaking of this, Lai Fujie turned his head and said: "Distribute iron picks to them!"
"No, you bunch of liars, you deceived us!"
Roaring loudly, a black man stood out and shouted.
However, hearing his words, Lai Fujie turned around and said: "We didn't deceive anyone. After all, the high-paying job is true, and food and housing are also true, but only one thing is false, that is, you have to work here until you die!"
Facing Lai Fujie’s explanation, everyone just stood on the spot, and no one picked up the iron pick.
"Crack!"
The horse whip danced, and Lai Fujie roared at one person: "Get in there and work, or I'll kill you all!"
"Ah!"
Under the scream, a negro standing in front immediately wailed, because a bloodstain appeared on his face.
"Krieg!"
Speaking coldly, just as Lai Fujie finished speaking, the Kriegers who walked out from the periphery were already holding engineering shovels, ready to take action.
"Hey, calm down, Lai Fujie, the boss said they can't all die!"
Pulling Lai Fujie, Tristan felt some unbearable heart, but could only execute the order.
Because he knew too well what would happen if Zhang Cheng got angry.
After all, even the legendary vampire had his head cut off by the other party; could this group of people rebel?
And just as the scene turned into a standoff, a person rode a horse from the distance.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Cheng snatched the horse whip and waved it.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
A few whistling sounds rang out, and the negroes at the scene retreated in fear, as if the memories of their ancestors had been awakened.
"Get in there, otherwise I'll make you die!"
Speaking coldly, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold.
Hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, the Kriegers also stepped forward.
"We won't..."
Just as a sturdy negro walked out, Zhang Cheng immediately waved the whip in his hand.
"Crack!"
Under the shrill scream, half of the man’s face was bloody and blurred.
However, Zhang Cheng didn't stop his movements, waving the whip repeatedly until the other party completely lost all movement, and then he said: "Give them five whips each, remember who the master is!"
Pulling out the whip from his waist, the Kriegers strictly began to execute the order.
In the constantly ringing wails, this group of people was eventually forced to pick up iron picks and enter the mine.
Watching this scene, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and say: "See? This is the correct way to use a whip!"
And hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, the Indians not far away stepped forward and said: "Zhang!"
"Very happy to see you, Qiu! Your next task is very simple, which is not to let anyone leave this forest, understand?"
Extending his hand with a smile, Zhang Cheng shook hands with the other party tightly.
"I know, Zhang!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng happily, Qiu also smiled.
Because since cooperating with Zhang Cheng, the tribe’s living standards had clearly improved a lot.
And thinking of the 20% silver mine income every year, he couldn't help but smile.
When the stumbling mine started business, Zhang Cheng continued to expand the "recruitment work"; after all, three hundred people weren't enough, at least three thousand were needed. As for the later stage, there would be even more.
After all, people will be consumed, so he must have a long-term plan!
Looking at Zhang Cheng sitting on the horse, coldly staring at everything, Tristan felt that the boss seemed even more terrifying than a vampire!
Vampire: I at most suck some blood, but he wants your life!
