1850 American Gold Tycoon

"Is it the California Intelligence Bureau that was established just a few days ago?"

Robinson thought about the California Intelligence Bureau, which had just been established for less than a week. He did not think that a newly established department would be able to play a big role in solving the demonstrations. Google search reading

A demonstration of more than a thousand people is a big trouble for the California Police Department.

"Yes, the matter will be resolved soon. The state and city governments will continue to do what they should do. Don't worry about this demonstration. Those lawless people who incited the people will also pay due for what they have done. The price." Liang Yao said confidently.

It's not that the Loyalty Association cannot be used, but it is not very suitable for this situation.

After all, the Loyalty Association is only a non-governmental organization, and it is more appropriate to leave demonstrations to government agencies like the California Intelligence Agency.

He believes that Pinkerton, the director of the California Intelligence Bureau, is also capable of solving this demonstration. He just needs to wait for the troublesome companies and factories to pay their fines.

At this time, in the Civic Square of San Francisco, a team rode into the Civic Square with a high profile on a tall horse.

The leader of this team is Pinkerton, the director of the California Intelligence Agency.

Since the California Intelligence Agency has just been established less than a week ago, only California senior officials and legislators know about the existence of the California Intelligence Agency.

Ordinary people still don't know what the California Intelligence Agency is, but they just look curiously at these men wearing black round hats, black woolen coats, eye badges on their chests, and a Colt Six on each side of their waists. Wheel guy.

Are these people the new police officers in California?

The citizens and demonstrators who were watching the excitement in Plaza San Francesco looked at these unfamiliar faces and couldn't help but guess.

But the origins of these unkind-looking people seem to be not that simple.

Some people also associate these people with the bandits in the west who robbed homes and homes.

But before the crowd could respond, Pinkerton pulled out the six-gun revolver at his waist and fired a shot into the sky.

"The CIA is in charge, and the rest are waiting to disperse!"

The onlookers burst into exclamations,

He hurriedly left the Civic Square.

After the idle onlookers left, the originally crowded Civic Square instantly became spacious.

In the huge citizen square, in the blink of an eye, only a thousand demonstrators were left.

In their hands, they also held slogans such as freedom to work, guilt-free labor, opposition to depriving children of their right to work, and slogans such as "If you want bread, don't study, Liang Yao is out of office."

But at this moment, facing more than a hundred men in black who were standing on horses with guns and fierce looks, the demonstrators immediately panicked.

California's young politicians have no experience in dealing with demonstrations. These first demonstrators after California became a state also have no experience in dealing with government suppression of demonstrations.

What's more, these people are not so much demonstrating as they are getting paid to go to work.

After all, you can get $15 for standing around the Civic Square holding a sign and shouting slogans for a day, which is much easier than working on the assembly line in a factory.

The CIA agents riding on tall horses were very oppressive to the demonstrators.

This ragtag group was at a loss for a moment when facing the CIA people, and they froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.

"Arrests!"

Pinkerton waved his hand, and CIA agents directly arrested the organizers and small leaders of the demonstration based on the identification of members of the Loyalty Society mixed in the crowd.

The arrest was made in just five minutes.

"You have five minutes to leave the Civic Square. If you haven't left the Civic Square within five minutes, the CIA will invite you and these gentlemen to have afternoon tea in our bureau."

Pinkerton pointed at the arrested organizers and small leaders and shouted in a threatening tone to the demonstrators who were stunned on the spot.

In less than two minutes, the demonstrators in the Civic Square dispersed in a hurry, fearing that they would be arrested if they took a step slower.

They came to the square to hold signs and chant slogans for the 15 US dollars a day. It was not worth putting themselves in jail just for the 15 US dollars.

Although they didn't know where the California Intelligence Agency was, they were sure that it was definitely not a good place.

Pinkerton doesn't look like a troublesome guy, not someone to be trifled with.

The city of San Francisco soon returned to normal order. Everyone went back to their homes, ate when it was time to have fun, and continued to have fun when it was time to have fun.

"Mr. Milnas! There must be a mole among us! My assistant was captured by some CIA just now!"

"How dare you arrest people in broad daylight! Does California still have laws?!"

"This is a bloody, brutal, and terrifying reign!"

"The state government has no right to require us to pay fines! This is robbery! Who knows whose pocket the money will end up in!"

"The state government has gone too far! It not only robbed us, law-abiding big taxpayers, but also deprived the people of their free right to work!"

"If this continues, we will all be doomed. Mr. Milnas, you must stand up and speak justice for us."

In a luxurious manor in Jinshan Bay, the factory owners who huddled together to keep warm were furious after learning that the demonstration failed. They all expressed their anger.

Everyone turned their attention to Milnas, their leader.

Hopefully Milnas, the leader, can lead them out of this predicament.

Milnas was also distraught. At first, he was complacent when he saw that the San Francisco city and state governments were helpless against the demonstrators.

But seeing that the demonstrations were easily resolved by the California Intelligence Bureau, his mood instantly fell into a valley, as if he had returned to the time when he was escorting gold and preparing to leave the Sacramento mine.

Milnas looked at John, an old friend who had shared the joys and sorrows with him.

"What are you looking at me for?"

John was holding a wine glass in his hand, and his father Backhouse sent him a letter, asking him to establish a good relationship with Liang Yao and buy land for real estate in San Francisco.

John California's main industries are real estate and several gold mines in the Nevada District.

And since his gold mine in Nevada did not require child labor, this matter could be said to have nothing to do with him. John, who was standing on the dry shore, naturally had no interest in getting involved in their affairs.

Of course, John still has interest in going to the theater.

John came here today mainly to watch the excitement, not to cause trouble for himself.

John, who had been taught several lessons, had already learned the lesson, and Liang Yao was not someone to be trifled with. If you want to get rich in California, don't fight this guy.

Liang Yao is not completely unreasonable. He is in the mine in Nevada administrative district. As long as the taxes are paid on time, no one will give him a hard time, and the mined gold can be taken out of California and shipped to New York.

Before, John looked at Liang Yao through colored glasses, but after putting aside these prejudices, John also felt that the business environment in California was indeed not bad. There are also many opportunities to make a fortune.

"Jeffrey, you said you are a big taxpayer, but as far as I know, you run a coal mine, and California is now tax-free for industrial and mining enterprises except gold." John said to Jeffrey.

"When it comes to being a big taxpayer, I am a big taxpayer. What kind of big taxpayer do you think you are? As for abiding by the law and complaining that there are no laws in California, it is because you violated California law first and hired child labor. I would like to advise you based on my experience, old man Pay the fine honestly and don't go against Liang Yao."

"John, I heard that your father and Liang Yao had reached some kind of ulterior deal. At first I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it is true." Milnas was very disappointed with this old man.

"It's not an ulterior deal, but a normal business cooperation." John said seriously.

"Milnas, recognize the reality. This is the advice I am giving you as your old friend. Disrupting the demonstrators is just the beginning. You and I both know that Liang Yao has more than this."

Based on John's understanding of Liang Yao, Liang Yao would never give up unless he paid a fine to the state government.

"No! Gentlemen! Bank of America, Bank of Boston, Barings Bank, and Banque de France issued an announcement. Considering the reputation of the banks and their support for the California government's ban on child labor, they will no longer pay fines for unpaid fines and no social responsibility. Illegal businesses and factories offer loans!”

Milnas' assistant took three steps at a time and ran into the hall and said to everyone.

After learning that all banks in California would stop providing loans to them, the factory owners in the hall felt like they were mourning, and all of them lowered their heads in frustration like wilted eggplants.

They all know what this means. Without bank loans, they will not only be unable to continue to expand.

The more serious problem is that their funds will not be able to be circulated.

The consequence of a broken capital chain is bankruptcy

Milnas closed his eyes in pain.

He is not short of these. Milnas' family has a big business, so this fine is just a drop of money for his family.

Milnas' main purpose in participating in this matter, besides not wanting to pay a fine, was to disgust Liang Yao. To repay the hatred for winning the gold.

Liang Yao showed his trump card and joined forces with Bank of Boston, Bank of Barings, and Bank of France to cut off the loans of these factory owners and cut off their capital chain.

These factory owners definitely don't dare to continue fighting with Liang Yao, so they can only choose to pay the fine and settle the matter.

He originally wanted to cause trouble for Liang Yao, but he didn't expect that he would cause trouble for himself in the end.

"Is there any worse news?"

Milnas took a few deep breaths, calmed down and asked his assistant.

I thought there could be no worse news than this, right?

"have."

Soon, the assistant's words gave Milnas another merciless blow.

"If you pay the fine now, you have to pay double the fine."

Upon hearing the news, Milnas almost lost his balance and almost stumbled to the ground.

Several small factory owners, whose financial resources were already weak, suddenly fainted.

If I knew it would be like this, I might as well just pay the fine.
