At this time, the western part of the United States was completely desolate.
Now, the people who come to these places are those who are extremely poor, have lost their land, or can't live in the central and eastern regions. They are either alone, or lead their families, drive their carriages, and take their only possessions. Attracted by the preferential policies launched by the U.S. government to attract immigrants and develop the west, they have traveled thousands of miles to this wilderness Land.
And those rich businessmen and capitalists, at this time, do not see these desolate lands at all. Comparatively speaking, they prefer the high-speed development of the Middle East with the industrial revolution, where there is gold everywhere. As long as they have enough funds, even if they put money into the stock market or start a factory, they can earn a lot of money. These desolate lands Their land has no attraction at all.
However, it's not that no one is interested in the future development of these areas and comes here ahead of time to invest. However, the desolate and backward environment like the wilderness still drives away most of the people. After all, not every rich person can live in such a bad environment. There are no hospitals, no shops, no bars, except for vast land and bad rings There is nothing here.
They are used to the comfortable and convenient life in the prosperous city, so it is difficult for them to adapt to the primitive and hard life here. In the end, there are few speculators left. Even those who stay are not sure when they will leave.
These speculators who came to the West with the poor are actually small businessmen. They have limited funds and have little development in big cities. In the west, they just hire some poor farmers who come to the West and build small farms. In essence, they are not much different from these poor people.
The real powerful people are all comfortable sitting in their own offices, commanding their subordinates to take care of their own industries. Who would go to such a wild place to find guilt.
Chen Mo can be regarded as a real powerful capitalist, but he did not sit in his office to direct the team work, but personally led the team to the northwest.
However, Chen Mo's arrival is quite different from that of the poor people or speculators who drive the old carriages and families.
Hundreds of fierce Indian soldiers on horseback, with guns on their backs, roaring and galloping, escorted a long convoy full of supplies to march towards this vast land.
The vast wilderness, natural stone arches, huge canyons, charming gullies, rapid waterfalls, dark green Colorado River, rough and desolate red land, has weathered into grotesque rock cliffs.
The carriage drives on the vast land in the West. The scenery changes along the way. It's magnificent, beautiful and desolate. In the distance, it occasionally passes the vigorous figure of the cowboy riding the steed. The sound of dada's horse hoof and the yellow dust raised by the running of the cattle are flying in this vast and desolate land. It seems to be in an American large area, with a strong taste of the West.
Hearing the fresh and incomparable smell of cow dung from the wind, Chen Mo did not see any change on his face. He took back his sight out of the window, but quietly slowed down his breathing frequency in the dark.
This cowboy is really bad. It seems necessary to improve their treatment properly.
Chen Mo, who has a lot of money, came all the way to buy a huge and incomparable vast land, and built huge pastures that can't be seen at all.
Chen Mo shocked the poor people who came to explore the western wilderness, and then, when Chen Mo offered very generous conditions to recruit cowboys, countless people rushed to sign up.
Compared with the hard work and grazing in the wilderness, Chen Mo, the rich rancher, offered much more attractive treatment.
However, it's strange that all applicants have to go through the interview of the rich man in person before they can officially join his ranch and become his employees.
In fact, Chen Mo is just sitting on the side of the interview site, and several interviewers are responsible for interviewing the candidates.
But the whole interview time is not long, everyone only has a few minutes, the interview process is also very simple, just casually asked a few questions, but in the end, less than half of the people can pass.
Chen Mo still has certain requirements for his staff's character and loyalty, especially for the first group of people. Although these cowboys don't need to be as loyal as his private business team, no one can join them. The questions he asks seem simple, but Chen Mo can tell if he didn't lie. Lies don't leave Chen Mo alone What's the role? He can directly torture people through these simple questions and know the most real ideas in their hearts.
Of course, these are the first core members selected by Chen Mo himself. The area of these pastures is very vast. Now they are just in the beginning. With the construction of pastures and the increase of the number of cattle, sheep and horses, more and more people will be recruited in the future. The number of these people will be in the unit of 10000. This is not what Chen Mo can explore, but After the development of the backyard is more prosperous and huge, everything is on the right track. At that time, Chen Mo doesn't need every employee to be extremely loyal. As long as the character and loyalty of this part of the most core personnel are guaranteed, it's enough.With Chen Mo's route all the way to the west, a lot of money has been thrown out. Chen Mo has also built a series of huge super ranches on this land which is still in the wild state, becoming the largest landowner and rancher in the west, even in the United States.
Indians, whites, blacks, all became his employees.
After the completion of this series of major actions, the time also entered April 1846, which was not long before the outbreak of the US Mexico war.
At this time, although the United States acquired a large area of land in the west by purchasing land from European colonies such as Britain and France, its land area is far from the scale of later generations.
California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming will all belong to Mexico at this time.
Since the independence of Mexico from the Spanish colonists in 1821, various political forces in the country have been fighting with each other, coups or rebellions have been taking place, and the political situation has been turbulent for a long time.
Since 1821, everything in Mexico has been in a mess.
In more than 20 years, there have been more than 40 governments, almost all of which are the result of military coups.
