……

The hoarse roars of the mercenaries running around the playground drifted into Qin Lang's office through the open windows, and almost immediately, Rachel and Elizabeth's brows furrowed at the same time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You shouldn't teach those mercenaries to sing this kind of song, Qin." They accused. In the eyes of conservative Catholic women in the late nineteenth century, it is true that they would be embarrassed by the erotic elements of the Marine Corps anthems, not to mention the less subtle erotic elements in the lyrics.

“…… Eskimo.pussy.is.mighty.cold……”

"Qin! We strongly recommend that you completely revise the lyrics! ”

Hardly any hesitation, Qin Lang rejected Rachel and Elizabeth's request. "Do you know what I think about this? It was you who chose to go to the Umbrella headquarters for the meeting, and if the meeting was held at the headquarters of the Great Viper Weapons Corporation, you would not hear anything. ”

"!" Rachel said, visibly annoyed, "It has nothing to do with where the meeting is taking place—"

"Rachel, lyrics aren't the focus of today's meeting." O'Connor interjected suddenly. He walked over to the window and closed it, and the mercenary's roar died away. "Let's continue with the conversation."

"Plugging your ears doesn't change anything, Sean." Still, she temporarily stopped pursuing the issue of erotic lyrics and returned to the topic of the conference. "The Baja California government refuses to sell any of the islands, it only agrees to lease ......"

The main topic of the meeting, of course, was how to accomplish the poor tasks of the state government. Now, one of the three options has been sentenced to death. John. B. Reddick rejected the proposal to settle the Chinese on one of the islands in the Channel Islands, and he stressed to Qin Lang that the Chinese must be sent out of California - it didn't matter where they were sent, but they must not be anywhere in California.

The only options left were Groom Lake and the small islands of Baja California. However, Rachel received no good news, as the Baja California government not only refused to sell the islands, but also did not agree to sign a long-term lease agreement. "We can only sign short-term lease agreements for three years. If we want to continue using those islands after the expiration date, we will have to re-sign the agreement. Rachel looked upset.

"Our negotiators are smart, aren't they?" Officials in the Baja California government appear to know how to avoid losses. Land is increasing in value while the Mexican peso is depreciating, and short-term rentals are certainly more advantageous than long-term leases. As for the refusal to sell the islands, this is not an economic issue, but a political one.

After being plundered by the United States during the Mexican-American War, the United States sold its territory to American merchants...... Officials in Baja California haven't gone crazy yet.

This is also good news for Qin Lang. If the Mexican's demands are beyond what is acceptable to the company, he can rightfully establish the "Fifty-One District" at Groom's Lake. "What is the rent required by the Baja California government?"

"The price we are asking for is 400 pesos a year for the larger islands and 300 pesos for the smaller ones, and the remaining two are added to the price - as long as we lease two large islands at the same time."

It's still acceptable. Qin Lang was a little regretful, but nodded quietly and turned to O'Connor. "How's the situation at Groom Lake?"

O'Connor got almost perfect news. "Two dollars per hundred acres. And local officials also said that if we bought more, the price could be a little cheaper. ”

"How much cheaper?"

"It depends on how much land we want to buy."

How much land do you want to buy? Of course, Qin Lang would like to buy one hundred and forty-four square miles of land according to the actual area of District 51, which is easy to achieve. Even without taking into account the local officials' "if you buy more, the price can be a little cheaper", 144 acres of land only cost 1,800 dollars, which is really very cheap.

However, he could not buy the entire "District of Fifty-One" or decide at once how much land to buy—all the shareholders of the company were in the office, except for Duncan, and he had to consult them.

"So," he said, "where do you think we should choose?" ”

Rachel, O'Connor, and Yi Shui discussed in a low voice for a moment, then she asked, "Do you still want to buy the land for Bridegroom's Lake now, Qin?" ”

"Of course."

"Then we will continue to negotiate with the government of Baja California for the largest and the two smallest islands for less than five hundred pesos, while you and O'Connor, go to Nevada and buy the Bridegroom Lake area." "We split the first group into two parts. ”

"Part of it is used to test whether the Groom's Lake area is suitable for long-term human survival?"

"That's right."

"Okay then," Qin Lang agreed, "We'll do it." ”

And so, the official action began. Qin Lang and O'Connor traveled to Nevada to buy land, while Rachel and Yi Shui continued to negotiate with Baja California officials. As for Elizabeth, she was not idle, according to Qin Lang's instructions, she went to Phoenix, where she registered a new company called "Phoenix Environmental Protection Technology Research Center", and then began to recruit workers in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Of course, only Chinese laborers were recruited.

The salary offered by the Phoenix Environmental Protection Technology Research Center is low in the eyes of the vast majority of Americans, who are reluctant to apply; The small number of people who were completely unaware of the nature of the new company chose to wait and see - in nineteenth-century America, some knew about "environment", some knew about "conservation", some knew about "technology", and some knew "research......

But when all the words are combined, no one knows what they mean.

Basically, very few people would like to work for a company that doesn't even know what to do, and that's why Qin Lang asked Elizabeth to give the company name so strangely. And for those guys who are willing to accept low wages and don't care what they want to do in the future, Qin Lang also has enough means to deal with them.

For example, a physical examination. No American can pass the physical examination of the doctor hired by the "center", and all American applicants who think they are in good health will be surprised to find that they are already riddled with diseases...... While they will refuse to believe the inspection report, the recruiters at the "center" will be completely convinced, so it is impossible for them to be hired.

And in Los Angeles, every American who goes to the "center" recruiting point to sign up sometimes encounters something even more embarrassing: once someone squeezes into a large crowd of Chinese and starts to line up, two police officers will soon escort him out of the line with a kind smile and begin a careful investigation of him, from his name, age, and parents all the way to his place of birth and whether he has a criminal record.

And when they're done, the hiring is over.

Anyone knows there must be something wrong with this, but no one cares. Those who are willing to accept low wages and don't care what they are going to do in the future are only a minority after all - so who cares or sympathizes with the plight of the few?

Moreover, the prevailing opinion in California is that since it is a company from Arizona that is recruiting Chinese, although it uses some shady tactics in the process of recruiting workers, this is not entirely a bad thing, at least it has taken some of the Chinese out of California.

So, why oppose it?

As a result, the recruitment of the "Phoenix Environmental Protection Technology Research Center" continued, and for the first time, 200 Chinese, they were already on their way to San Diego.
