Chapter 41: Just one step away

At this time, although the League had set up a branch in San Francisco, the branch could only be described as simple, so after obtaining Huang Hao's consent, Sun Yat-sen lived in Huang Hao's house, and Huang Hao was the mother of Wen Xiongfei, the founder of the San Francisco branch.

Living here is secluded and safe, and it is easy to contact other members of the Alliance.

Since Huang Yihua was one of the earliest members of the San Francisco branch, and he also made a lot of efforts in the establishment of the branch, it was easy for him to take a few little brothers to meet Sun Yat-sen, who was reading the newspaper.

"You're here?" Sun Yat-sen, who had already learned from Li Shinan, Huang Baiyao and Wen Xiongfei that Huang Yihua had contributed a lot to the establishment of the San Francisco branch, was very cordial to Huang Yihua and others.

It's just that Sun Yat-sen, who was kept in the dark, didn't know that Huang Yihua originally planned to come back the next day, and the reason why he came today was just to avoid Yan Guang.

However, when a few people sat down to talk, and one of the little brothers brought by Huang Yihua mentioned Yan Guang, Sun Yat-sen still showed great interest.

"Is that Yan Guang, who is known as the king of Chinese inventors?" Two years ago, that is, when Yan Guang invented things at its craziest, the name Yan Guang often appeared in Western newspapers, so Sun Yat-sen was very impressed.

"That's right." Huang Yihua nodded, with a look of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"I didn't expect him to have such a deep friendship with your grandfather, if you can pull him into the alliance..."At this time, Sun Yat-sen was thinking about how to pull Yan Guang into the alliance to expand the influence of the alliance.

However, hearing Sun Yat-sen's mention, Huang Yihua had another idea.

"That guy is very rich in running an industry in Sichuan, and he once said that the stock in London is worth 5 million, if he can donate 1 percent of it, even if it is 500 percent, it will have a great effect on the revolution, of course, this guy may be bragging, but donating 180,000 is still no problem, right?" Huang Yihua thought that when Yan Guang left, Huang Lao had given him 30,000 US dollars to use as funds for running an industry, and with this friendship, he was Huang Lao's grandson, so it should be no problem...

Thinking of this, Huang Yihua told Sun Yat-sen what he thought, Sun Yat-sen was also surprised after hearing about this Yan Guang's net worth, although Huang Yihua also said that there might be some moisture in it, but Sun Yat-sen still wanted to see him in person.

Of course, fundraising is definitely needed, but it would be better if he could be drawn into the alliance, not only his influence could be greatly expanded, but even his financial resources could be expanded many times.

As in later generations, the League will have a very difficult time raising money at this time.

At that time, the Manchu Qing political axe still had a certain amount of power among overseas Chinese, and the Qing consul also bribed some bigwigs and masters, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate and kidnap the members of the League.

Moreover, the upper echelons of overseas Chinese in the United States at that time were not moved by Sun Yat-sen's propaganda at all, and not only were they unwilling to donate, but they also ridiculed and ridiculed Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideas as bragging, which could not be fulfilled at all. The rest are like Huang Lao, after seeing the revolutionary uprising and losing successive battles, they have little interest in smashing money as water.

In addition to these extreme people, there are also some middle-level people who do not oppose Sun Yat-sen's idea of "expelling the Tartars" and establishing the Republic of China, but because of their concerns and fear, they also give Sun Yat-sen a cold reception. In the eyes of these people, the Qing government axe is like this, although it should be overthrown, but this behavior is heretical after all. If we support them now, we will not be able to guarantee that there will be no worries about our lives once we return to China in the future. Those who could really accept and support the revolutionary ideas propagated by Sun Yat-sen were the lower classes of overseas Chinese. However, because this group of people was forced by life and were busy looking for work, it was difficult to share Sun Yat-sen's worries in fundraising.

That's why Sun Yat-sen will be interested in people like Yan Guang and have influence, at least a little bit of influence on people like Huang Lao, and there is money, five million dollars to arm two regular infantry divisions of European standards is enough, what kind of people will such people be pulled in if they don't pull into the alliance?

It's just that when Huang Yihua ran home and planned to invite Yan Guang and Sun Yat-sen to meet, he found that Yan Guang had already left with someone, as for where he went?

Mexico...

Sun Yat-sen still regretted not being able to meet Yan Guang, but he didn't know that if Yan Guang knew that he was almost able to meet Sun Yat-sen, he would be even more regretful than Sun Yat-sen himself.

As for Sun Yat-sen's purpose to get Yan Guang to join the Alliance, and donate money or something?

In Yan Guang's opinion, as long as he can meet Sun Yat-sen, it is absolutely no problem to be three or five hundred thousand, of course, it can only be thirty or fifty thousand now, because Yan Guang can't do this kind of thing by funding the opponent, even if the other party is Sun Yat-sen.

didn't know that he had just passed by Sun Yat-sen, and at this time, Yan Guang had just gone through the formalities of tens of millions of Mexico, and was taking Wang Er and others to Mexico.

On the way, Yan Guang was idle and bored to Wang Erdao. "You know what? As long as this trip can be successful, I will knock out all my teeth and replace them with gold ones. ”

Wang Er just glanced at him. “…… It's okay if you knock it out now and replace it with gold. ”

“…… Next time, it's a broken leg..."

――――――――――

Although the journey from San Francisco to Mexico was not as long as from Shanghai to San Francisco, the journey was definitely uncomfortable, because just as they were about to arrive in Mexico, they were very unlucky enough to be caught in a storm...

Very good, although the ship did not sink, but it also made the thirty young men he brought soft, so after getting off the ship, Yan Guang could only book some rooms first, so that these people could rest for a while.

And during this time, Yan Guang took Wang Er and two or three people who were barely standing up to inquire about the news about Tampico in Puerto Vallarta, that's right, Tampico...

Although Yan Guang doesn't know much about Mexico's oil, Yan Guang has heard of the names of Tampico and the Petroleos Mexicanos and the Mexican Eagle Oil Company that have risen because of Tampico...

Of course, it may be because Yan Guang's little butterfly fan is so powerful, so the Mexican Eagle Company, which was supposed to have discovered oil in Tampico in mid-1908, has not found the oil hidden under Tampico until now.

And according to the news that Yan Guang heard, because of this relationship, the Mexican Eagle has been on the verge of bankruptcy, and although Petromex is better in comparison, it is also limited

These are the Witmen of the Mexican Eagle. Pearson and Edward of Petroleos Mexicanos. It's not good news for Dohanni, but it's definitely great news for Yan Guang...
