Chapter 7: Gunpowder Factory

California, San Francisco,

Under the fluttering flag, the Ark Company,

Lu Yan was sitting in the office, watching Ross say goodbye to the sheriff and leave,

"Bang!"

Turning around, Rose gritted his teeth with anger on his face and said, "This bastard is simply too rampant, he dares to blatantly want to donate money!" Also threaten us, boss, that you should refuse him! ”

Looking at Lu Yan, Ross opened his mouth angrily,

After the practice of Treasure Island, Ross also understands that strength is the foundation of everything in San Francisco.

But after listening to Ross's words, Lu Yan smoked a cigarette and said, "Why do you want to refuse him?" It's just to make him happy and leave the company, and he won't receive the money anyway, will he? ”

Looking at Lu Yan fiercely, Rose wondered, "You want to deal with him?" ”

"Would I like to have a vicious dog that barks at me?"

Looking at Ross angrily, Lu Yan turned his head and said, "Stanley, take a few compatriots to bury him at night!" ”

"Okay, boss!"

Nodding, Stanley said with a calm face,

Seeing such an obedient Stanley, Ross couldn't help but say: "The bank is already being built, but do we really want to set foot in this industry?" Wells Fargo is not easy to provoke! ”

"Am I afraid of a group of merchants who can't hold knives in their hands?"

With a disdainful smile, Lu Yan rolled his eyes,

Wells Fargo was founded in New York, but its headquarters are in San Francisco, why, because here is their "root",

Five years is enough time for most gold diggers to believe in Wells Fargo.

But Lu Yan will be afraid of competition,

With the million-dollar fortune of Treasure Island, he is enough to support himself to find the right business channel.

The DuPont family started as a gunpowder factory, but now, they have not grown to the next generation.

Lu Yan wants to complete his layout in San Francisco, and he is slowly reaching out to hold the entire Ganifoni Asia!

Why did Texas always make trouble for independence in later generations, and there was nothing the ugly country could do?

That's because people have this strength!

Even if Lu Yan can't do any step in the future, he will cover the sky in Ganifoni Asia!

The next day, the story of the retribution of the small town sheriff of San Francisco spread all around.

When people looked at him being hanged, they immediately showed a look of embarrassment,

The previous sheriff also disappeared inexplicably, and so did the current sheriff,

The sheriff of a small town in San Francisco is a dangerous job!

"Didn't I bury you? How did you hang it? ”

Looking at Stanley curiously, Lu Yan asked a little confused,

You know, hanging people is not his profession, this touches some knowledge blind spots.

"I think it's even more intimidating!"

Looking at Lu Yan, Stanley said with an honest face,

After hearing this, Lu Yan looked at Ross blankly and said, "Is that so?" ”

"I think Stanley did a good job!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Rose didn't care how the sheriff died, because the bastard was damned!

blatantly wants to donate money, and threatens them that if they don't comply, they will send someone to block the Ark Company!

This is no longer jumping on the "grave", but jumping back and forth on the edge of Lu Yan's bottom line, it is difficult for him not to die!

After so much development, the small town of San Francisco still has no trains.

This undoubtedly allowed Lu Yan to find a way to make money,

That's to build a railroad from San Francisco, California to Houston, Texas!

After all, when you arrive in Houston, the Gulf of Mexico is not far away!

Walk through the infamous pirate paradise of the Caribbean!

In order to maintain a source of funds, the slave trade is indispensable.

Because the southern manor owners are rich, the money they use to sell cotton every year, in addition to buying slaves, is used to hoard land and continue to expand the estate.

They are all selling slaves, why can't Lu Yan eat this bowl of rice, he is still an old slave owner!

Besides, after the construction of the railway is completed, Lu Yan can completely expand his business along the railway route.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan hurriedly said, "Rose, help me about Lucio!" ”

"Okay, boss!"

After listening to Lu Yan's words, Rose walked out quickly,

With a pencil in hand, Lu Yan drew out a map of today,

Although not too accurate, most states are already on it,

If he wants to build a railway, his current money is completely insufficient.

If you want to do this, you need partners.

He was going to find someone who could help him fool him, and that was the Morgan family who were still in New Orleans!

Don't underestimate that the Morgan family has not developed yet, but they have taken off from this generation!

For example, the current John Pierpont Morgan, who sells coffee in New Orleans,

After he made his first money, he established the Morgan firm!

also officially opened the road to the rise of the Morgan family,

By the time he died in 1913, the Morgan family's total assets had reached $12.7 billion!

A man known as the "creditor of the world"!

What kind of concept is this, even if Lu Yan hangs up, he can't catch up with the legendary life of others,

This kind of person, if you don't pinch it in your hands, what do you want to do?

Morgan is still in New Orleans today, which is a good time!

Thinking of this, Lu Yan planned to talk to the mayor of the town, and then he was ready to embark on the road to find Morgan!

It's best if the other party is willing to help, if not, Lu Yan can only find a way to copy the other party's life.

As for Morgan? No kidding, he didn't develop, who knows who Morgan is?

Downs Manor,

Lu Yan watched the maid serve a few glasses of wine, and then slowly spoke: "I want to build a gunpowder factory outside the town!" And a weapons company! This needs your help! ”

"Gunpowder Engineering and Weapons Company?"

Looking at Lu Yan in surprise, Lucio couldn't help but say, "This is not a simple matter!" ”

"Don't worry, my friend, I'll figure out the patents and equipment, you just need to get the formalities done, and when the time comes, San Francisco will be more prosperous, right?"

Looking at Lucio, Lu Yan explained,

Today's San Francisco, most of them are gold diggers, and there are really skilled talents, but there is no one at all.

But it doesn't matter, there are no technical talents, won't Lu Yan "borrow" from Europe?

Take the money to smash, he has to have a set of weapons factory of his own,

In the last world, he didn't become a military factory owner for nothing.

Some rifles, even he can assemble them,

Get a gunpowder factory, a military factory, an ironworks, and he has a whole set of weapons in a closed loop!

When the time comes, with the gun in hand, who would dare to question Lu Yan's words?

Hearing Lu Yan say this at the end, Lucio hurriedly said, "I'll mention it to the above!" ”

"It's not to mention, but to be solved, tell me if you have trouble, and I will solve the trouble!"

Looking at Lucio, Lu Yan opened his mouth with a serious face!

Looking at Lu Yan with the corners of his mouth twitching, Lucio couldn't help but say, "What about the sheriff?" ”

"Looking for a smarter guy! Don't be too stupid, or the public will wonder how safe San Francisco is, right? ”

Asked Lucio rhetorically, Lu Yan neither admitted nor denied it,

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Mayor Zhen said with a face full of affirmation: "I will definitely take care of it!" ”

"Very good attitude, Elizabeth, send the mayor away!"

stood up, Lu Yan left directly,

"Mr. Mayor, please!"

Looking at Lucio complimentally, Elizabeth handed him a note vaguely, with a pleading look on her face,

He has been in San Francisco for a long time, and it was not easy for him to come into contact with outsiders, how could he let go of this opportunity,

Looking at Elizabeth, Lucio directly held the note in his palm and left,

Standing in front of the window and watching this scene, Lu Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
