Chapter 140: Sun Hekang
(Ask for a ticket!) Ask for a ticket! )
"Why do you pay attention to other people's granddaughters every day?" Li Yaoyang couldn't help but complain, Fat Dun'er is a foodie, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, he doesn't want to let go.
"Hey~ It's really beautiful, I've seen it once, but it's a little arrogant."
"Shh~ Be quiet, don't let people hear it."
At this time, the old man sitting on the other side of Sun Tongfang spoke:
"Old Dragon, how is Guangjitang's business good lately?"
"It's good, thanks to the love of my father and fellow villagers, who are willing to trust us."
"Huh~ Why are you talking about this, if there is no Guangjitang, everyone will have nowhere to go if they want to see a doctor."
Fat Dun'er whispered on the side:
"Kang Dongliang, Mr. Kang, someone in the family has made a revolution, and he is currently the president of the Bao Chamber of Commerce."
"Baokai?" Li Yaoyang muttered.
"What to make money, what to do, strong financial strength, and close relations with all parties, half of the money earned back to China."
Li Yaoyang was ignorant, but he guessed a little, and he didn't participate in that aspect of things, so as not to be crabbed.
However, this person can be contacted, and it seems that he is easier to get along with than Sun Tongfang.
Just then, the other party shifted his gaze, stroked his beard with one hand, and squinted his eyes to look, as if he was looking at his grandson.
"Who is this little friend?"
Yao Baihu helped introduce:
"Li Yaoyang, the founder of the Dongxing Chamber of Commerce."
Dong xing?
As soon as this name came out, the whole table looked at it, after all, he was not an unknown person, and he was also the number one person in Chinatown.
"It turned out to be Boss Li, but he has no eyes under it."
How dare Li Yaoyang accept this? Hurriedly hand it over:
"Old man Kang is serious, I'm not a celebrity, it's normal not to know me."
"Hehe, the name of Dongxing, everyone in Chinatown should know it, and I just came back from Vancouver, so I didn't recognize it."
The Vancouver he said should be the most well-known Western city for the Chinese in later generations, and now, it is still a new city that has just opened its port, with a population of more than 100,000 or 200,000.
Kang Dongliang said that he came back from Vancouver, did he have relatives over there? Or did you go over there to pan for gold?
Vancouver is the first stop for gold diggers, and 70% of the people who go to the Maple Leaf Country to pan for gold have to transit in Vancouver, which radiates to Alaska and even the Yukon.
In this era, except for gold panning, Li Yaoyang really can't think of anything to go to in Vancouver, where birds don't.
Thinking of this, Long Ye said meaningfully:
"You've sent a lot of gold diggers to Buckville over the years, why haven't you made some gold yourself?"
Li Yaoyang's heart moved, he knew that Long Ye said this to himself, otherwise he would not have mentioned it for no reason.
There are all human spirits here, how can they not hear what he means?
Kang Dongliang kept smiling, his eyes swirled between the two, and he slowly spoke:
"You know, I'm just a middleman, and I earn a service fee, and I don't understand the trade of gold panning, and I don't want to participate in it, so as not to accidentally fall into the river and freeze to death."
After asking and answering, Li Yaoyang understood what Kang Dongliang was doing.
To put it bluntly, it is to send Chinese gold prospectors to Buckville to pan for gold, which is a small town more than 800 kilometers away from Vancouver.
The name Buckville has been inconspicuous throughout the history of the Yukon Gold Rush, but for Chinese gold diggers, it is a place worth writing about.
Gold was first discovered decades ago in B.C.'s Fraser Valley, and as gold was running out there, gold prospectors began to look farther afield.
Or a British prospector discovered the gold of Barkerville and dug up 10 pounds in a matter of hours, making it rich overnight.
Immediately, people heard about it, and soon the site attracted a lot of people and gave it the name of the British prospector.
As this small place became an overnight success, gold diggers from all over the world flocked to it.
Among them were explorers and prospectors, and of course, the goal of all of them was to get rich and find gold, and there were also Chinese.
But the Chinese arrived relatively late, and by the time they arrived, the gold on the surface of Barkerville had been sifted several times.
However, the best quality of the Chinese will is tenacity, and they did not give up easily, but took root here.
As more and more Chinese found gold, they simply settled here.
Today, half of the thousands of residents of Barkerville are Chinese, and they have opened restaurants and inns in the area.
The gold rush there brought people from afar and nearby to settle here, and the increase in population naturally brought about a demand for commerce.
It is precisely by relying on market demand that these thousands of Chinese can make their home here.
The industry that Kang Dongliang does is equivalent to a tandem person, connecting the entire gold panning industry chain from upstream to downstream.
If the industrial chain is a long river, and each link is distributed in the upstream, middle and downstream ferries, then Kang Dongliang's insurance chamber is a boat.
Carry passengers down the river at the source, take guests to various ferry ports, and the cycle repeats.
It's a pity that the timing of Li Yaoyang's crossing is not appropriate, otherwise I really want to go to the Yukon for a walk, and I can play a game of nation-building.
Ahem~ It's a joke.
Getting back to the point, Kang Dongliang's background surfaced, which once again made Li Yaoyang interested in him.
Sun Tongfang answered:
"You're so timid, if I'm 20 years younger, I'm going to have to go to the Yukon River, why the hell can you find gold, we can't?"
"Hehe, there are still a lot of untouched places in the Yukon, and there is a lot of gold."
"Forget it, I'm old, and my legs are not flexible."
Co-authoring is also a cannon king? Li Yaoyang slandered in his heart.
At this time, several old men walked onto the stage, and the scene was solemn.
Li Yaoyang looked over, there were two acquaintances among them, and those few who had not seen them were also elders of the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce.
These people stood on the stage, and the momentum came to their faces, and I don't know if it was intentional, do they want to overwhelm people?
All the guests were looking at the elders of the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce dressed as B, and Li Yaoyang always felt a little familiar with this scene.
After thinking about it for a moment, a picture jumped into my mind, which was exactly the same as the freeze-frame pose when MJ appeared on stage.
About half a minute later, the third elder Miao Jiachang stood up and delivered a speech:
"Everyone, good evening, it's a pleasure to be here with you before the Spring Festival, it's an honor for the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce..."
The opening scene is all clichés, and there is no nutrition.
Okay, Miao Jiachang didn't say much more, and estimated that the time was almost up, and his voice changed:
"With the joint efforts of everyone, the environment in Chinatown is getting better and better, and people live and work in peace and contentment.
However, everyone is still facing the dilemma of not daring to go out of Chinatown, why?
Of course, it is because of the suppression of us by the ghosts, who look down on us Chinese from the bottom of their bones.
Even after so many generations, this has not changed.
Are we going to resign ourselves to it? Let our children and grandchildren continue to suffer such unfair oppression and discrimination? ”
