"Mr. Qin Lang, the state government hopes that you can help solve the Chinese problem in California. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qin Lang couldn't laugh anymore - it should be like this in theory. Let a Chinese help the California state government deal with a bunch of Chinese...... John. Is B. Reddick playing the trick of using China to make China? Or, this is Henry. Markham, Your Excellency the Governor's idea?

But either way, it's a bad idea.

But he still had a smile on his face. "Can you elaborate on that, Mr. Lieutenant Governor? You know, in our line of business, the word 'solve' can be understood in many different ways. ”

"The state government wants you to intervene to make the Chinese in the state disappear." Reddick still didn't go into enough detail.

"Mr. Lieutenant Governor, the word 'disappear' can only convey a vague message. How far does the state want me to go? Send all the Chinese back to China, or throw them all into the sea? ”

"It's up to you, Mr. Qin Lang. There is only one outcome that the state wants to see: the number of Chinese in California is dwindling. The lieutenant governor shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"So whatever I do, just get the Chinese out of California, even if it's just to send them to Nevada or Arizona?" That's how Qin Lang understands this problem. It was too difficult to send the Chinese back to China, and to throw them into the Pacific...... Even if he had no feelings for them, he didn't want to do it when it wasn't necessary.

Luckily, Reddick or Markham were just trying to make the Chinese disappear from their sight. "As long as you're able to get them there and make sure they don't come back, of course."

"Why?"

"Quite simply, for the gubernatorial election. Mr. Qin Lang, you should be well aware that there is a strong anti-Chinese atmosphere in all parts of the United States, and California is no exception. Unfortunately, there are so many Chinese in California that both the parliament and the general public are very unhappy, which puts tremendous pressure on Governor Markham. ”

Qin Lang's eyebrows raised slightly. "So His Excellency the Governor hopes to win the support of voters by reducing the number of Chinese in the country in order to succeed in his re-election campaign?"

"You're smart, Mr. Qin Lang." Reddick complimented.

"It's not about being smart, Mr. Lieutenant Governor, it's political instinct." If you can win the hearts and minds of voters by attacking the Chinese, and the Chinese don't have the votes, why not do it? Moreover, in the eyes of voters, Governor Markham who has taken practical actions to reduce the number of Chinese is better than the Democratic candidate James Murphy, who can only shout slogans. Bard was more trustworthy, and because of the decline in Chinese and the increase in white employment, they would certainly vote for him.

That's why Reddick was so confident just now. Qin Lang commented secretly. Markham and Reddick did find a way to strike at their campaign opponents without causing public discontent, and even a hundred years later, not many people have to blame them.

Of course, Henry will certainly not be the only one who will benefit from this. Mark Ham or John. B. Reddick, the Republican Party of California will also have great benefits.

In other words, he had to do the task assigned by the state government -- or he would offend not just Markham or Reddick, but almost all of California's Republicans.

It's terrible.

However, although there was no way to avoid the fate of carrying the black cauldron, Qin Lang still decided to make things clearer. "Why did you choose me to do this, Mr. Lieutenant Governor? Of course, I can guess a few reasons: I'm a wealthy Chinese who can do it without drawing too much blame, and more importantly, I can't refuse the state's demands, or the state government will throw me out of the United States. ”

"You're really smart, Mr. Qin Lang." Reddick laughed, "Basically, you're saying the right thing, so I'll just add that most people appreciate your ability to get things done, and the Governor and I believe you can do it well." ”

"I see." Qin Lang nodded. Then he said, "I can help the state government do this, but there are two things I have to make." ”

"What is it?"

"First of all, I'm not the particularly rich kind of person, so I may not be as big of a role you and Governor Markham think I am. Maybe, just maybe, I'll end up sending 2,000 or 3,000 people out of California -- and maybe less. ”

"Mr. Qin Lang, your worries are completely unnecessary. You're a successful businessman who makes a lot of profit every day, and the work you take on will only make you earn a little less, and that's not a difficult thing to do, is it? "John. "And, Governor Markham and I hope to see a downward trend in the number of Chinese, not how many at a time they are decreasing." ”

"Okay then." Qin Lang shrugged his shoulders, "So, the second point, Mr. Lieutenant Governor, I want to know, what kind of benefits can the work I undertake bring to me and my company?" ”

"Isn't that enough for true U.S. citizenship recognized by federal and state governments, and all the rights enjoyed by all U.S. citizens? I don't think you're the kind of person who would worry about racists, right, Mr. Qin Lang? ”

"I'm certainly not worried about racists, Mr. Lieutenant Governor. But simply obtaining a duly recognized U.S. citizen and enjoying power is not enough to compensate for my loss. I need to get more benefits. ”

Reddick stared at his face for a moment, earnestly. "You're a very pure interest animal," he warned, "but don't be too greedy, that's the root of all tragedy." ”

"I'm not greedy at all, Mr. Lieutenant Governor, I'm just asking for what I deserve. And," Qin Lang moved closer to Reddick, "I want to remind you that if my company develops quickly and well, it will be good for you and Governor Markham. Think about it, more taxes, higher employment, a more prosperous economy...... Mr. Lieutenant Governor, this is a situation that is good for all of us. ”

Qin Lang's words made Reddick fall into deep thought. More taxes, higher employment, a more prosperous economy, indeed, these are the things that have been important to him and to Henry. Markham has all the benefits, and this is a boastful achievement during their time in office. As a career politician, it is impossible for him not to be tempted by such temptations.

Moreover, for the California Republican Party, Qin Lang's strength is also good -- he has a clear pro-Republican leaning. The same goes for McBride. If they get richer, it means that Republicans can get more campaign money when they run for governor and congress, and more money means more advantage......

However, even though he had seen such a favorable ending, it was impossible for him to unreservedly ask for Qin Lang. John. B. Reddick could only answer Qin Lang in vague terms. "Mr. Qin Lang, when necessary, the state government can provide some help to your company, but all open violations of the law will be severely investigated."

"Of course, Mr. Lieutenant Governor, I am a legitimate businessman and will never openly violate the law." Qin Lang smiled happily. Violations of the law that are not "public" as long as the people are not aware, as for "when necessary...... It can be necessary at any time as long as there is a need.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Qin Lang." Reddick was also laughing, "I hope you can get to work soon." ”

"Of course." Qin Lang bowed slightly, then turned around and strode towards Rachel and Elizabeth, while the lieutenant governor happily turned to the mayor of San Diego.

……

"So, you just promised John. B. Reddick's Requirements? Qin, I have to say, this matter is very bad, and you may suffer in the end. ”

"If I don't promise him, I'll be out of luck right now, Rachel."

Qin was right, and it was also not a good idea to refuse the state government's request. And he's probably not the only one who is unlucky, you and Mr. O'Connor will be in trouble as well. ”

"Elizabeth!"

"The question now is not whether we should or shouldn't accede to Reddick's request, Rachel, and the question now is where we should send the Chinese in California."

Where to send to? Nevada or Arizona? Seem...... Nevada, of course, has a place where it is good to get the Chinese there without causing trouble, and it is convenient to get Reddick and Markham back to California if they are going to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
