Chapter 175 Gold Rush
Chapter 175 “Gold Rush”
"What, Mr. Governor, don't you want to agree?" Guo Jinzhang smiled and raised his chin slightly to Li Asheng on the side. Then, Perkins saw the other party start to rub his fists, and the "slap" sounded.
"I, I, I agree!" It's death, and it's death if you don't agree. But if you agree, you'll die in the future. If you don't agree, you'll die now. Perkins lamented, and his whole body seemed to have been suddenly pulled away from all his energy and collapsed directly on Edmund.
"George, George..." Unexpectedly, Perkins was so useless, but he couldn't hold on. Edmund held this guy who could be called his own boss, and was so anxious that he almost smashed his face. But at this time, Guo Jinzhang turned around and looked at him:
"Don't call him for now, talk about you, Mr. Edmund."
"You, you...I'm just an assistant." Why did you find yourself? Edmund was nervous and almost threw Perkins in his hand directly to the ground.
"Assistant is assistant, but you always know some people." Guo Jinzhang still smiled, "Send a telegram and say... In the process of chasing us, I discovered the gold mine! Ask your friends who are interested."
"Gold Mine..." Edmund was stunned and asked Perkins to come forward to attract all the important people in the state. Now he is asked to use gold mine to lure those rich people. How did this guy's mind grow in front of him? Can he be more vicious?
"What, don't you want to?" Guo Jinzhang pursed his lips and his tone became a little gloomy.
"I, I..." Of course I don't want to. But... Edmund wiped his sweat and suddenly saw the place where the reporters stood just now, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared: "I think those reporters might be more convenient for those reporters to pass these news back."
"We have a limited number of people. It is not easy to 'receive' too many people. And you can rest assured that we will try our best to 'invite' the bosses and editors of newspapers or radio stations, and they will definitely know more people, right?" Guo Jinzhang smiled.
"You devil!" Edmund didn't dare to think further. The guy in front of him was just trying to give all the prominent and slightly influential figures in California. How dare he, how dare he?
"Actually, I think I'm very devilish, so thank you for your praise." Guo Jinzhang smiled and nodded at him, then looked stern: "Do you send a telegram?"
“…I’ll send it!”
"I am smart, I like smart people. If you come, take Mr. Edmund to register first."
...
Edmund was taken to the "San Francisco Telegraph Office Director" appointed by Guo Jinzhang. Perkins was also with him. Both of them were a little lost because they knew that after the telegram was sent, their political life would be completely completed and there would be no chance of recovery. At that time, it would be difficult for them to survive in the western United States, but even in the eastern part, it would be difficult to find a place to gain a foothold. Who told them to "betray" so many people? It is not scary to lose the battle. After all, it is not only those who are defeating the battle, but they are not the only ones who are defeating the battle, but they are defeated by the Chinese.
It is shameful, but compared to those unlucky people who lost to the Indians, they are not necessarily too inferior, but this kind of "betrayal" is the most unacceptable. Even if they know that they are threatened, no one will forgive them. The Republican Party where they are will be separated from them at the first time. Because their "sell" will probably directly "sell" the various forces and relations of the Republican Party in the western United States. Politics never talks about human favors. This is how the big guys in the party will protect them? If they don't deal with them, they will be very considerate.
"Are you really Chinese? Chinese from the other side of the Pacific?" Before being pulled to send a telegram, Perkins finally recovered a little bit of his spirit, but the Governor looked at Guo Jinzhang with a very terrifying look, and it looked like he was looking at a devil. However, this look could not scare people, Guo Jinzhang just smiled:
"Of course I am a Chinese. It's a Chinese who can change it!"
"Then how do you know how to deceive us with telegrams and continue to deceive so many people? The Chinese cannot think of these." Perkins was obviously very dissatisfied. In this battle, he felt that he had lost too unjustly and too frustrated. He could never get up again after falling to the ground.
"Why don't the Chinese think of these?" Guo Jinzhang looked at him contemptuously, "As for why he thought of using telegrams to deceive you, it's very simple: because you invented the telegram!"
“…”
He invented the telegram, so he deserved to be deceived? Guo Jinzhang's answer almost made Perkins vomit blood, and he wanted to take revenge. All the Chinese workers around him were staring at him with guns, and they would probably be beaten into a hornet's nest if they were moved. Moreover, although the Chinese man in front of him looked not tall and young, his calloused hands could not be dealt with by him, a pampered governor. Therefore, he could only "report" to the "Telecom Office" with Edmund's support.
"It's all like this, I don't want to admit failure. These white people just need to teach a lesson." Li Asheng looked at Perkins and Edmund's infatuated appearance and couldn't help but curl his lips.
"They are white people, and they are governors, and they can't accept such failure emotionally for a while, and they can't do anything to us. I can only find some sense of racial superiority to comfort the injured soul. I have seen more of this situation." Guo Jinzhang smiled.
"Have you seen it many times? Have you dealt with white people a lot?" Li Asheng looked at him in surprise and asked.
"Why, have you dealt with them less often?" Guo Jinzhang gave him a blank look and turned away. Of course, he would not tell Li Asheng that he had seen this situation "in the future". However, what he saw at that time was not the performance of white people, but the poor performance of the *******s who were both yellow people. Seeing that China became stronger and stronger, their advantages disappeared little by little, and even the domestic economic situation did not improve any good. The ****s wanted to find some superiority in both ethnic and cultural aspects, and then drag the Chinese ancestors to their side, saying that they were their people, and then register China first.
Traditional festivals say that it is theirs; even Sun Wukong's monkey created purely by art will be snatched away, saying that it is their monkey, and even the one in Sun Wukong's hand is a pure one... Such a manifestation is indeed worthy of being a country that eats kimchi. It is so sour and sour to the bones. It's a pity that this country does not produce Shanxi old vinegar, otherwise it will definitely be sour, and it will even directly claim that Shanxi old vinegar was invented and passed down to China by their country, and it may even be included in their once "broad and vast" territory.
"What should I do next? Wait for the arrest of someone?" After following Guo Jinzhang's words, he figured out what a sense of racial superiority was, Li Asheng chased after him and asked.
"Of course it's to arrest people, but everyone should be careful. You must have open and secret whistles, and you should also scammers farther away. We can deceive others, but there is no requirement in this world that people will definitely be deceived. Be more at ease!" Guo Jinzhang replied.
"Don't worry, I will continue to explain." Li Asheng nodded.
"It is best to give me a few more words when explaining. White people can cry if they are not careful, but it's okay if they are not deceived. If they learn from us, they will take advantage of it. If we are not careful, there will be no place to cry." Guo Jinzhang reminded again.
"Okay." Li Asheng nodded again. Guo Jinzhang has always been very careful. No matter what he does, he always wants to think about whether there is a way out and whether there will be any mistakes. He has become accustomed to this and agrees deeply. Just a few people, in a country where all white people are, if you are not careful, it is really an old birthday boy who has hanged himself and has long life.
******************************
"Quick, hurry, we must hurry up and get over it as soon as possible. We must never let others take all the benefits."
"Gold mine is actually a gold mine. I said, this is Jinzhou, how could all gold be dug so quickly? Sure enough, there is still..."
...
Under the threat of life safety, Perkins, Hamilton, Edmund, and Edmund, and Edmund, all started sending newspapers in their own name... According to the "information" that Guo Jinzhang gave them, the governor and the mayor sent telegrams to some senior political figures, without saying anything else, saying that there was a major matter here that they needed to discuss together, and mentioned the matters involving huge interests in a very vague way. Edmund and Deputy Mayor Edmund, Asimo, were much more direct. They told the relatives who were close to them, and the Chinese discovered a gold mine, come quickly.
Of course, these four people are very sensitive and have "thinking". They have thought about using other cryptic words in the telegram to remind their friends. However, with the arrangement of a time traveler who has watched many spy war dramas in later generations, how could they have such an opportunity? Before sending the telegram, Guo Jinzhang ordered the Chinese workers to separate the four of them, and then asked the deputy mayor about the mayor's social situation, and asked the assistant to the governor about the social relations of the governor. Similarly, the mayor and the governor will also be "inquired". After that, the four of them must be disconnected again. For example, the mayor must think about whether he knows some things about the assistant to the governor, and the assistant to the governor will be asked if he knows what the deputy mayor has done before. After this, he will enter again.
The next time they were arranged, until each of the four people was asked about the situation of the other three people they knew. But that didn't count. Didn't Hamilton bring the reporters? According to Guo Jinzhang's original words, the reporters were well-informed people, so the Chinese workers would conduct "single" inquiries with those reporters by the Chinese workers, and the reporters' answers would be mixed together... In this way, because they were not sure what others would know about them, the people who were asked dared not lie, obediently explained and explained everything they could. However, even so, Guo Jinzhang still did not fully believe them, combined the explanations of these people, and carefully screened them, and only sent telegrams to some of the more confident people.
But that's enough.
News will spread. Moreover, those who receive the telegram are also very smart big shots. They often conduct investigations after receiving the telegram. For example, a wealthy man with most minerals in California, after receiving reports of gold mines, they do not think about occupying territory first, but calling first, or sending people to find out about the specific situation. If the official or parliamentarian does not know, they will immediately go to their own network of relationships as soon as possible... Everyone knows how to keep it confidential, but they can't resist the number of people. Especially when everyone finds through various channels that the state legislator, the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court, the San Francisco prosecutor and some other senior officials are moving towards the "site of the incident", they immediately can't sit still. They won't think about why the Supreme Court is asked to come forward in such an incident, nor do they think about how it would be.
So many people knew about this matter at the first time, and they would only think about it "good" side, that is: the gold mine was really discovered. Therefore, the governor of California and the mayor of San Francisco would personally rush to the site of the incident. Next, these smart people "consciously" helped Guo Jinzhang and others to supplement the matter: the location of the person where the gold mine was located was not owned by anyone, and was on the border of the city of San Francisco, and was with the state government.
The location where the directly-governed territories intersect is what ordinary people call the "three no-couns" zone. But the governor and the mayor both want to take this gold mine into their own hands, so they insist that the land is under their jurisdiction and neither side can convince each other, because the boundaries of that area have always been blurred and there are actually no strict regulations, especially in areas like the vast and sparsely populated areas in the west, it is normal for this boundary to have a deviation of dozens of miles.
Because of the stalemate, the governor and mayor naturally have to find support... This became the reason why they got the news. Especially when the "smart people" learned that the senior officials who went to the government and mayor personally sent telegrams to invite them to the government and mayor had never heard of any gold mines. They just knew that there seemed to be some interest issues, and they were even more convinced of their previous speculation: It was not a huge interest issue. Will the governor and mayor invite the prosecutor and the justice in such a big way? Obviously, both of them wanted to be in the gold mine.
The final legal confirmation of the issue is made! That is to say, that gold mine should be a big gold mine! a huge gold mine! So big that the governor and mayor can no longer maintain a calm mind. Otherwise, how could they acquiesce to the deputy mayor and assistant governor to send reports to their respective relatives without a complete conclusion? This is a rare "hand-to-hand combat" in politics. They each show their "muscles" to their opponents and show strong strength, and then they can firmly grasp the initiative in the distribution of interests.
"Fortunately, it is the mayor of San Francisco. If it were other areas, there would probably be no chance to seize any benefit from the governor's hands." The news spread more and more widely. In less than a day, many big names from San Francisco sighed like this. They chased each other to the scene, for fear that the governor would have robbed the benefits that should have belonged to them. Of course, there are also many transcendent big names. They do not care about the interests of any state or city. They only care about the same thing, that is, the interests of themselves and the forces they represent.
Everyone had their own thoughts, as if they were moths flying into the fire. In just two or three days, one after another, one after another, rushed towards the "site of the incident". With their actions, more news came to San Francisco and Sacramento, even California, and even Nevada and Oregon. So, more people rushed to the place where people only saw people but never left. And that's not all, as the news gradually "leaked."
", In addition to the rich, more ordinary people began to rush towards there. These people did not think of going directly to the legendary huge gold mine, but planned to explore the surrounding areas. Just like when California was still in the gold rush, a place produced gold, and the surrounding area would definitely be filled with gold at the first time, because people knew that a place produced gold, then it was very likely that gold would be produced around it, because gold mines often represent a mine belt...
However, just as many people predict that California will usher in a new "gold rush", and the road between Sacramento and San Francisco is gradually crowded with people with various kinds of people holding tools, the gold mine that has been "shining" for those days, attracting countless people who are interested in wealth to move towards it suddenly disappeared and suddenly became without a trace!
...
"M, what's this? It's just a few telegrams, why did it attract so many people?"
Liu Tongfu was scolding, Zhao Dachang was scolding, and even Li Asheng, who had performed well recently, was scolding. As the leader and the maker of the entire plan, Guo Jinzhang could only smile bitterly.
"This is the commonality of white people in Europe and the United States. Wealth is the most powerful source of motivation for them. For wealth, they can do many things that are impossible to ordinary people, and many people think that cannot happen will also happen because of them. It's that simple."
"Simple? Is this simple?" Liu Tongfu immediately smiled mournfully when he heard Guo Jinzhang's words. He pointed behind him: "Brother, look at it yourself. It's only three days, three days, how many people are there?"
"Isn't it only three or four hundred?" Guo Jinzhang smiled bitterly.
"Luckily we left early. Otherwise," Li Asheng recalled the situation he encountered in the past few days and showed a look of lingering fear: "If this was met by those later white people, our 500-plus brothers would have been explained."
"Yes. I still underestimated the influence of these white men on wealth. M. I had known that it was better than gold mines." Guo Jinzhang also sighed and couldn't help looking back. As his eyes swept over, a team of hundreds of horses and nearly a hundred carriages was slowly walking on this roadless wilderness. Not to mention, the middle of the team was crowded with Chinese workers riding horses and guns in the middle to watch was a team of almost entirely composed of "gents" wearing tuxedoes, various suits and top hats. The hands of these "gents" were tied, and dozens of people were tied to a rope, one by one, and a sad atmosphere filled it.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have let Azu and his men take away the militia, police, army and other prisoners first. If they were put together, it would be spectacular!" Liu Tongfu also looked back and became more and more happy. Who would have thought that so many people had summoned in just a few telegrams. In Jin Zhang's words, this is almost the "essence" of California and San Francisco. Of course, if there were no more than two hundred followers tied to the back, then they would be all "essence".
"Jin Zhang, how do you deal with so many people?" Li Asheng asked.
"hey-hey……"
