1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 103 This is the brand effect
San Francisco is rising at an astonishing rate, and the whole city is full of vitality.

Because of gold, ships from all over the world come to the port of San Francisco every day, either full of goods or full of gold diggers, to enter the port of San Francisco, injecting fresh blood into the city.

For this emerging city, people from different places have different names for her. Americans call it San Francisco, which is the most official name. The city is also called Yerba Buena.

Because it was a small fishing village in Mexico called Yerba Buena four years ago.

No one would have thought that in just four years, this small fishing village would become the largest city on the west coast of the United States, bar none.

Chinese immigrants have the most vivid name for this city, because the name San Francisco is very awkward for Chinese to pronounce.So they simply transliterated the name of the city and called it San Francisco.

But this simple transliterated name always feels strange to Chinese people, and soon Jinshan, a more vivid and appropriate name, spread among Chinese immigrants.

The simple image of Jinshan and its very attractive name gradually replaced San Francisco. It was passed on by word of mouth among Chinese immigrants, and even brought back to their hometown on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, attracting more Chinese to travel across the ocean with dreams of making a fortune. here.

A series of brand-new buildings have sprung up centered on commercial streets and civic squares. The modular and lightweight buildings have shown the gold diggers who have just arrived in California what California speed is.

I am afraid that in the entire United States, only California is the place where the construction speed of buildings is measured in days.

Since the gold diggers in California were so busy, they didn't have time to build buildings, but they had gold.

Numerous large and small construction companies and construction teams have been established. As long as you have enough gold, they can build a brand new house for you within [-] days, or even more than [-] days.

If the construction company promises you a construction period of less than [-] days, then you have to be careful. Most of the houses they build for you are shabby buildings.

According to the report of the most authoritative local newspaper, that is, the "California Daily": September 1850, 9, this newspaper has published 6 news about the tofu building this month.

The poor Wilson family had just happily moved into their new home, ready to welcome a new life, but within 24 hours of moving in, the house collapsed tragically.

The Wilsons were unfortunately crushed to death by the collapsing beam. Fortunately, their 8-year-old child is still alive, thanks to the staff of the fire station who felt in time and rescued the poor child from the rubble.

If you want to build a new house, I suggest you contact Mr. Liang's California Construction Company, which is the largest and most reliable construction company in California.

Not only are they efficient, but to date, the company has not had a single accident in any of the buildings it has built.The only downside is that they charge a bit more than other construction companies.

If you have limited funds, you can contact Vanderbilt Construction Company, which is a newly established construction company, but their reputation and service are good, and the president of the construction company is the son of Commodore Mr. Vanderbilt Mr. Coney.

The construction companies established by Chinese immigrants are also trustworthy. So far, there have been few negative news about Chinese construction companies.

"Kony, where did you get the money to start a construction company? The California Daily isn't cheap, is it?"

Liang Yao, who returned to Jinshan City after the bandit suppression operation, was browsing the news of the past few days in his study.

"Go to the casino in exchange."

The image of Kony standing behind Liang Yao has taken on a new look, and he answered Liang Yao's question calmly.

"While I was suppressing bandits, you went to gamble again? Sure enough, you are a dog for a day and a dog for life. You really can't change your shit." Liang Yao put down the newspaper, with an angry look on his face.

"You misunderstood me, do you still remember the clothes Elizabeth prepared for me?" Coney hurriedly explained.

"Yeah, but what does that have to do with your construction company money?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. Elizabeth sewed a $1 money order in one of the shirt pockets." Speaking of this, Coney's nose was sore.

"Elizabeth has so much money? Didn't you say that your father is picky about your brothers and sisters?"

Liang Yao remembered that Elizabeth told him that the monthly pocket money of their siblings was no more than a dozen dollars.

Of course, more than a dozen dollars is not a small amount for ordinary people. Griffin's soldiers are only paid eight dollars a month, and the monthly salary of ordinary engineers in the east is only 15 dollars a month.

But in California, where prices are extremely high, more than ten dollars is really just pocket money. The purchasing power of more than ten dollars in California is very limited, and it can barely support a person living in California for four or five days.

"I think Elizabeth pleaded with my father for me." Coney wiped the corners of his eyes and continued, "Your Bank of America can't exchange Citibank's dollar bills, so I can only go to the casino to try my luck and see Is anyone willing to take a Citibank money order, and finally that vampire at Stanford exchanged my $6000 bank draft for $[-] in California gold coins."

"That fellow at Stanford is so black-hearted." Liang Yao couldn't help sighing, and then he pointed to the news of the house collapse in the newspaper and warned Coney, "As long as you don't delay your job here, I have no objection to you starting a construction company , but I don't want your construction company to appear in the negative news in the newspaper, understand?"

Being able to learn from him to open a construction company shows that Kony is not hopeless, and his brain is not stupid.

"I wish I could work for you. Working for you, I can learn a lot more than in business school. My construction company is not large at present, and I can still handle it. It won't affect my job."

Kony now understood why Jones, the president of the Bank of America, wanted to return to Liang Yao's side and serve as Liang Yao's assistant, and why his father valued a young man about his age so much.

"Don't you hate your father? Why does your construction company still use the Vanderbilt family name?" Liang Yao teased.

"That's what you told me. The name of the Vanderbilt family is worth a thousand dollars. It's a brand effect. It's not for nothing," Kony said.

While Liang Yao was talking with Coney, Hu Jinchen came in and told Liang Yao, "Mr. Liang, Mr. Ge Wen, please see me."

"Mr. Ge Wen has arrived at Jinshan? Hurry up and invite Mr. Ge Wen in." Liang Yao asked Hu Jinchen to invite Ge Wen in quickly.

"I'm going to prepare a pot of hot tea for you and Mr. Ge Wen. I think you must have a lot of things to talk about." Coney followed Hu Jinchen out of the study.
