Chapter 453： : "Chinese-Friendly City"

Sacramento's affairs are very satisfactory. Jiang Hao is going to return to Los Angeles. Before leaving, he meets with the old Durant. The old man looks eager to run for the state legislature. Jiang Hao sends his best wishes.

A few days later, Jiang Hao returned to Los Angeles. At this time people were already aware of his appointment. Jiang Hao convened all members of the parliament and held the first working meeting to determine his status.

Los Angeles is still under construction. Jiang Hao has arranged all the work. Next, Jiang Hao plans to set up a new factory again to produce smoke-free huǒyào and new style qiāng branches. Perhaps Hall qiāng machinery manufacturing company will become a well-known large arms in the United States. the company.

Two months passed and California's election for state legislature ended. The old man Durant became a legislator because of Jiang Hao's funding. This is a happy ending, and Jiang Hao officially became the mayor of Los Angeles.

Now there are countless jobs in Los Angeles that require a lot of manpower. The expansion of Jiang Hao's cigarette factory and the establishment of a qiāng machinery manufacturing plant require a lot of workers. The construction of Santa Monica Pier also requires a lot of manpower. Jiang Hao is also preparing to develop Long Beach. More people.

There is a huge shortage of people in Los Angeles.

Jiang Hao convened a meeting of parliamentarians and said to many lawmakers: "Los Angeles is developing at full speed, which also brings a lot of problems. The most difficult one is that we are short of people, farmers, and workers. During this time, we advertised. With more than a thousand workers from San Francisco, the shortage is still very large. With the current situation, we need at least 10,000 people. Members, gentlemen, is there any good solution? "

Some members also said, "Yes, I have also felt the pressure of lack of manpower. Recently, my farm wanted to recruit a few new farmers to reclaim new land, and it was really irritating."

"We can put ads in the newspapers, maybe someone will come from the east or the middle," someone suggested.

"I'm afraid it will take a long time, and there may not be too good results," someone countered.

...

People have been discussing for a long time, and there is no good way. Jiang Hao met with members of the parliament and said, "I have a proposal, let ’s discuss it. I want to declare Los Angeles as a" friendly city for Chinese people "and attract more Chinese people. What do you think. "

"Before my factory was short of staff, it recruited thousands of Chinese workers. I think they are very hardworking people, hardworking, obedient and well-managed, and there is no bad habit. You must know that during the construction of the big railway, the Chinese were The largest working group, I think if we announce this policy, we may absorb more Chinese, so we will not be short of manpower in Los Angeles. "

This is the real purpose of Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao knows that it is too difficult and difficult to change the status quo of society with the strength of one person. A country such as a 10,000-ton ship is advancing forward. He carries the strength of countless people. White people and Chinese people are involved in ethnic, economic, and cultural conflicts. It can't be reversed by his own strength.

Everything he did before was just trying to give the Chinese a place to breathe.

The lawmakers were a little silent,

Many people have a kind of resistance to Jiang Hao ’s proposal. This is caused by long-term ideology. To say that they are directly opposed to Jiang Hao ’s proposal, these lawmakers are also cautious. Not the main reason, but ultimately it's about interest.

Jiang Hao looked at the lawmakers, his eyes fell on one person, and he smiled and asked, "Congressman, what do you think of my proposal."

Conason opened a large store in Los Angeles. Since the population increased, his business has improved a lot, and more than that. Now, Jiang Hao buys many things needed by many industries from Conason stores, such as gloves, iron Shovel, rope, and so on, just these things can make Conason more than 20,000 to 30,000 dollars a year.

$ 20,000 to $ 30,000 is not a small sum.

Against it?

I am afraid that Hall will not buy from him tomorrow. Connors cannot afford such a large loss. Connorson immediately squeezed out a smile and said to Jiang Hao with a smile: "Mayor, I think you The proposal is for Los Angeles. Los Angeles does lack a lot of labor. The Chinese can come here and make a good supplement to us. I agree with your proposal. "

Jiang Hao smiled and nodded, then turned to look at another member of parliament.

"Mr. Thomas, what do you think of my proposal?" Jiang Hao asked.

Thomas is a farmer who has more than 5,000 acres of land and mainly grows grain. His previous grain needs to be transported to San Francisco for sale. Now Jiang Hao's factory purchases a large amount of flour. Thomas has established a flour mill for this purpose. Company flour business.

Against it?

However, he should still pay more than 10,000 US dollars of debt to Hall City Bank. If Hall company no longer purchases his flour tomorrow, his factory will be shut down immediately and he will become a debtor. Both the flour mill and the farm will Taken away, he will be reduced to a tramp from a decent person.

Thinking of this, Thomas hit a thriller,

No, he must not allow such things to happen, and hell, if you are tired of China, you can live really well.

Thomas immediately stood up and said loudly: "Mayor, I strongly support you. My flour mill is still short of workers. When the Chinese come, I'm going to recruit a few Chinese to work for me. Please hurry up, I can't wait any longer. "

Jiang Hao smiled. "It looks like your flour mill needs to be expanded, which is great news."

Hearing this, Thomas Cao said, is this a signal to myself, to expand the flour mill myself, to buy a large amount of my own flour in the future, yes, Chinese people also have to eat, flour sales naturally More, you can make more money.

At this time Thomas looked at the other members of the parliament who had the closest relationship with him. They were also farmers. Thomas said to them, "It seems that I want to buy more food from you."

The industrial chain is the chain of interests, and every link involves many people.

Upon hearing these farmers, yes, their own grain was sold directly to Thomas' flour mill. If Thomas is finished, he will follow suit.

Several more voiced immediately, "I agree with the mayor's proposal."

"Oh, I think the Chinese are good. They are not as pickled as they are rumored. I usually contact them. They understand politeness and humility."

...

Jiang Hao smiled and nodded, looking at another MP. The MP named Phillips stood up and said, "There are now a few Chinese workers at my ranch. I am considering increasing the number of beef cattle. I also consider Building a milk processing plant also requires more workers, so I support His Excellency's proposal. "

This guy is a real cowboy and raises cows. There are more than 2,000 cows and thousands of sheep in his ranch. This is nothing in the future. But in Los Angeles now, he is definitely a rancher. The sheep used to catch the train and sent to San Francisco for sale, but now they are almost all purchased by the Hall factory.

He wasn't stupid. He was against his gold master. There was no good in fucking. It was to tie his neck to death.

Other ranchers saw Phillips' position and understood that Mayor Hall is not only the mayor, he is also the owner of Hall and can be said to control the entire Los Angeles economy.

Nearly, their company purchases their own cattle and sheep. Far away, he will control the public facilities in Los Angeles in the future, and later Santa Monica Pier. Although it is now government, everyone knows that money. The Los Angeles government. Not at all, even if he has the ability, Mayor Hall will not let him return.

I want to develop my own ranch in the future. Should I use dock transportation? That is a must. If people don't let you in, then die.

"I agree with the mayor's proposal."

"I agree."

"agree."

Most of these legislators have their own industries and almost all have business dealings with Hall, or in other words, rely on Hall to survive. If Jiang Hao cuts off their business, they will immediately fall into the valley.

After all, these people are still under the ability to pay.

Therefore, controlling people's money bags is more effective than controlling people's hands and feet and blocking their mouths.

this is the truth.

Even in modern times, it has not escaped from this model. What mínzhǔ, ǔ, plainly, still set out for their own interests.

"Vote now." Jiang Hao said.

As a result of the vote, 32 members, 21 voted in favor, 9 voted against, and 2 abstained.

Jiang Hao immediately announced, "From now on, Los Angeles is a 'Chinese-friendly city'. I hope that in the future, Los Angeles will be a civilized, modern, open, and rich city. It will abandon discrimination and conflict. Live a happy and happy city. "

"Boom!"

The lawmakers applauded, "Mr. Mayor said so well, we support the mayor's decision."

After the end of the parliament, Jiang Hao returned to his office and took those votes from his hands. Although it was a secret ballot, he wanted to make a mark. Jiang Hao could n’t help but understand the chemistry. On the numbers, one by one appears.

You have to know that the distribution was in order. Jiang Hao made the arrangement deliberately. He has the ability to remember and know who the number is. Just looking at the numbers above, he knows who these votes are.

"Specially popular, kèlíndùn, bùshén ..." Jiang Hao said nine names in a row, all of them are against him. Jiang Hao smiled and murmured: "I will not be in the next parliamentary election. Let you appear in the meeting room. "

He was going to turn his brothers into parliamentarians, such as Pete, Bill, Adams. Some of them are sheriffs, some are company bosses, have certain social status, and they are fully qualified to become parliamentarians. When these people come in, Jiang Hao ’s The right to speak is even stronger.
