I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

And his designated heir before his death was a man named William Vanderbilt.

The rest of the Vanderbilt family disappeared into the long river of history.

Zhu Fugui has no interest in this kind of anecdote about a decadent wealthy family. He only cares about his own boat, and if he has the opportunity to lift his lucky star, little sister Julie is also fine.

But the boat comes first.

Such a tearful sale opportunity is extremely rare, you must seize it!

Of course, it was impossible for Zhu Fugui to go to New York to discuss business in person.

Leaving aside the danger of the king of a country going to a foreign country, it is very inconvenient for Zhu Fugui to do business in New York as a Chinese.

It doesn't mean that you will definitely be pitted or rejected.

After all, no one can refuse the fragrant silver dollar.

The point is that as an oriental person spending a lot of money in New York, the fast-running reporters in New York are likely to put Zhu Fugui under the spotlight for observation.

Those are Wallace's seniors, and they must be very skilled in business!

Being observed by them, Da Ming is in danger!

In fact, Wang Zhonghuang and Morishita Noichiro's shogunate apology group were very suitable as tools for buying ships.

Their identities are very official, and their footsteps are very clear.

But when Zhu Fugui received Julie's letter, the apology group had already set off for more than half a month.

So the most suitable candidate left in Zhu Fugui's hands was Donald.

So Zhu Fugui introduced his old friend, Mr. Donald, a Jewish chaebol in detail, in his reply letter to Julie, and said that he would rush to New York as soon as possible to reach a relevant agreement.

Chapter 127 Farewell, population sprint at the end of the year

Donald is now a tried and true old comrade.

Zhu Fugui didn't have much hope for his loyalty, but he still had great confidence in his shrewdness and judging the situation as a Jew.

Comrade Old Tang's current interests are deeply tied to Daming, and his wife and daughter have already lived in Fengdu.

Mrs. Tang teaches foreign languages ​​at the Daming Royal Academy, and little Ivana dominates the Royal Kindergarten (mainly because there are few children, she is the oldest).

In fact, within the second ring road of Fengdu, Zhu Fugui left a house for the Donald family, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

The future appreciation space is incredible!

Not long after sending the letter, Zhu Fugui announced that Donald had come to the palace to meet him.

It is very convenient to talk to smart people. Zhu Fugui briefly explained the situation, and Donald understood the ins and outs of the matter:

When His Majesty the Emperor was engaged in gang activities in New York in his early years, he had an affair with a noble lady named Julie.

Now it seems that this noble lady has become a widow, and a widow with a lot of assets.

In order to maintain a decent life, she decided to sell her husband's hard-earned business for cash...

It's a really sad story.

Donald could even think that if he died young, his prodigal daughter would not be much better.

Therefore, it is a wise move to be loyal to Daming and hug Zhu Fugui's thick legs tightly.

No wonder Donald thought so.

It is unimaginable to sell ten steamships at one time in this era.

If Donald could have the keen and decisive business decision-making ability like old Vanderbilt, he wouldn't have made his fortune by relying on Ming when he was nearly forty.

Donald couldn't imagine the reason for selling the boat, he could only imagine a scene in which the widow planted grass on the dead husband's head. This was the limitation of his vision.

Either way, Donald is perfectly qualified as a trade representative.

Therefore, he patted his chest and said that he would definitely complete this huge deal for Daming.

Of course Zhu Fugui would not hand over so much money to Donald, that was to lure the fat man to commit a crime.

He just used to talk about business and talk about business.

The final transaction only needs to be the same as the previous clothing business, through the bank or the high seas transaction.

At that time, let Wang Zhonghuang, Morishita and the others bring the ship and warship back together, it will be very happy to think about it.

……

November 11, the day before Thanksgiving.

Zhu Fugui bids Donald farewell on Port Angeles.

Unlike the apology group who traveled by land, Donald will leave by sea.

It takes about 4000 kilometers to travel across North America by land.

To the west of the Mississippi River, there are a large number of areas where the road conditions are very bad. In some areas, horse-drawn carriages can only travel 20 kilometers a day.

Even if you are lucky and use transportation such as trains and river boats, it will take about 30 days to complete the journey.

Before the opening of the Pacific Railroad, the fastest way to travel from the West Coast to the East Coast was by ocean liner.

It's just that the Panama Canal is still on the drawings of the Spanish and French in this era, and it has not yet been dug. It takes a big circle to go by sea.

Ships departing from the west coast must go south all the way around the southernmost tip of the South American continent and complete a 12000-kilometer voyage to the east coast.

According to the speed of ocean-going ships in this era at about 14 knots, it would take about 16 days to complete the voyage if there is no delay in stopping for supplies.

In order to get in touch with the apology group as soon as possible and ensure the conclusion of the ship purchase agreement, Zhu Fugui took out his internal funds and paid for Donald's business trips abroad.

A first-class ticket for a luxury cruise ship still costs a lot of money, and Zhu Fugui's mint has to be open for at least 15 seconds, which is really heartbreaking.

But, as a leader, you can't let your subordinates pay for the country out of their own pockets. This is the right thing to do.

Today's pier is not very lively.

Many lazy Chinese coolies are gathering in groups to bask in the sun.

They looked at Zhu Fugui and his party curiously.

Even though the clothes were light and simple, Zhu Fugui still brought a bodyguard who guarded Xiaoqi by his side.

Although they were wearing long windbreaker casual clothes with their weapons hidden inside their clothes, they couldn't hide the aura on their bodies.

And in the semi-enclosed protective circle formed by the guards, Zhu Fugui was bidding farewell to his beloved general.

"I would rather think of a pinch of soil in my hometown than ten thousand taels of gold in another country!"

Zhu Fugui took out a bottle of Fugui Coke, sprinkled a handful of soil from Xinfeng into it, and handed it to Donald, "Sangui, don't forget your original intention when you arrive in New York, think about your wife and children, they are all waiting you!"

Listening to His Majesty the Emperor uttering the most vicious threat in the most provocative words, Donald's eyes couldn't help but twitch:

"Sleeping Lord, please take good care of my wife and daughter. Don't worry, when it comes to wealth, I don't think anyone in the world is more generous than you... The one you mentioned..."

"Are you talking about the crown of Zhongzheng? That emerald the size of a pigeon egg? Don't worry, as long as Tang Aiqing gets things done, I will naturally not be stingy with rewards!"

After all, Zhu Fugui still didn't have the nerve to use "Meiling's Heart" to fool Donald.

After all, it is still a strange thing for two super-large rubies to appear at the same time.

So this time, Zhu Fugui chose a less exaggerated artificial emerald, and used it as a carrot tied in front of Donald's eyes, urging him to work hard.

After gulping down the Coke mixed with soil, Donald reluctantly boarded the Pumpkin Knight cruise ship bound for Boston and passing through New York.

"Remember to issue the invoice!" Zhu Fugui waved a red handkerchief with a pattern of dragons, saying goodbye to Donald for the last time.

……

Cruise ship, as the name suggests, the mail of this era is also transported by this large ship.

Zhu Fugui's letter to Julie was only five days earlier than Donald's.

So no surprises, Comrade Tang Sangui will also arrive in New York within a week after Julie receives the letter.

After seeing off Tang Sangui, Zhu Fugui patted Joseph who was dozing beside him.

Joseph is the official spelling of Qiao, and only those who are close to him will call him Qiao, while Zhu Fugui usually calls him by his Chinese name:

"Qiao Jingzhong, while Sangui is in New York, you should pay close attention to the errands in the mine. Winter is here, and Xinfeng needs more coal for heating and power generation!"

"However, Sleepy God, since the Chinese workers left, the manpower in the mine is not enough. If we increase the production capacity..."

"How is it possible? Isn't it supplemented by white slaves? The total number of people remains the same, how can the production capacity be reduced?"

"How can those people compare with Hua Gong, they..."

"There is nothing to say, what the Chinese can do, the white people can also do, be confident, you have to believe in loyalty, you white people are no worse than the Chinese, I am optimistic about you!"

Zhu Fugui patted Joseph on the shoulder again, and left without looking back, leaving the latter sighing in the sea breeze.

……

Sitting in the carriage on the return journey, Zhu Fugui was thinking about a question.

There are nearly 2 Chinese in Gastown and Port Angeles. It can be said that all Chinese in Canada are concentrated here.

It is imperative to absorb these Chinese in order to expand the population of Xinfeng, and even maintain the output of the Prash Coal Mine.

However, for a long time, Zhu Fugui would rather transport people from the mainland of China than to recruit people from Port Angeles and Gastown.

This is because according to Baozhitang's information, the Chinese in these two places have lived in North America for a long time, and some are even ABC, the so-called second-generation immigrants.

Their recognition of Huaxia has not declined much, but they have formed an intricate gang culture.

Of course, among the new immigrants recruited from the mainland of China, there are also so-called Hongmen, but these people can neither form a group nor become popular, and they can't make a splash after undergoing ideological remolding.

But the gangs in Angeles City and Gastown are different.

They accept the management of the Wuzhou Hongmen Zhigong General Hall, but the binding force of this management is very low. In fact, they still form various small gangs according to their places of origin.

It is said that Hongmen was founded by Chen Jinnan, the chief envoy of Dongning in the Southern Ming Dynasty, with the aim of resisting the persecution of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and preserving the culture of the Han nationality.

Theoretically, this is the political legacy of the third Ming Empire. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui should be the natural master of Hongmen.

However, Zhu Fugui is very aware of the attributes of those gangsters who have more success than failure, and have always kept them at a distance.

Although the Zhigong General Church has produced legendary figures like Situ Meitang and many heroic sons and daughters, the backward organizational form of gangs and churches is ultimately difficult to handle.

And Zhu Fugui, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, seemed inappropriate to eliminate him in an organized way, so Zhu Fugui looked at the fat around his mouth and hesitated to speak.

But now that the total population of Xinfeng has reached more than [-], just a big mouthful of fat meat should not be too greasy to death.

Therefore, in addition to buying a fleet of ships to transport people back to the mainland, Zhu Fugui is going to order Baozhitang to secretly screen the Chinese coolies with simple backgrounds, send them to Xinfeng for naturalization, and strive to increase the total population of Xinfeng to 2 people.

A butt at the beginning, to be precise, an arrow on the butt, and a small city-state with 2 people a year later, such a performance should not be embarrassing in front of the ancestors, right?

Zhu Fugui took out the Crown of Zhongzheng from his pocket, and played with it in his hands.

(The 2 people count more than 5000 people who are expected to arrive in the fifth phase of immigrants in December. In addition, the calendar should return to the traditional Chinese calendar after the Ming Dynasty changed to the Yuan Dynasty, but for the convenience of reading and writing, the month is still calculated according to the Western calendar, and New Year’s Day is also Refers to January 1st instead of the traditional Spring Festival. Otherwise, checking the date would be a nightmare project for the stupid author, please forgive me.)

Chapter 128 Journey to the East

"The Great King of Kings, Ruler of the Great Ming Empire, Guardian of Conscience and Virtue in the World, Perfect Man of Perfection, Your Majesty Zhu Fugui, Your Loyal Knight, Sangui, started recording on the first day he left you : Today the sea is beautiful and peaceful..."

……

"Today is the third day since I left you. The cruise ship docked at the port of San Francisco in California. Here, I saw many of your compatriots. Like the Chinese in Gastown, they are skinny, with confused eyes, waiting With your guidance and salvation."

……

"It's been a week since I left Daming. I lost weight day by day because I missed my hometown. The waitress on the ship said that I lost at least three pounds."

"The cruise ship passed by an island called Tierra del Fuego today. Here I saw the penguin that naturalists call it. This is really a huge bird, which is quite different from the naive appearance they describe."

"I suggest that if the empire's expeditionary forces pass by here in the future, these penguins can be used as food. I don't think they should be harder to swallow than turkeys! I swear, if you are willing to bring the penguins in the Secret Code of the Imperial Dining Room A kind of 'crispy powder', I think the taste will be better."

……

"After passing through the wild lands of South America, the cruise ship headed north to Havana, the largest port in Cuba. Here I saw groups of black slaves transporting sugar cane. The atrocities of the Spaniards are well known, but I think sugar cane is Innocent. Our Fortune Coke needs it, I miss the damn sweetness and bubbles popping on my tongue."

……

"The two-and-a-half-week journey is coming to an end. Your loyal Sangui will continue to record what you have seen and heard along the way. Next, I will visit Mrs. Julie and complete the mission of the empire as soon as possible."

……

The sound of sirens one after another outside the window heralded the arrival of New York Harbor, the busiest port in the Western Hemisphere.
