1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 157 Coal and Steel Alliance
"The California Industrial Association, the California Coal and Steel Alliance, will be established. I will serve as the chairman of the industrial association and the chairman of the council of the Coal and Steel Alliance. These days, I am discussing this matter with my Mexican friends."

Although there are iron mines in Nevada, California can completely develop its own coal and steel enterprises.But exploration and mining take time. Before that, Liang Yao still needs the iron ore provided by the Mexicans.

After California's coal and iron mines became self-sufficient, Liang Yao would still choose to bring Mexicans into California's coal and steel alliance.

It's just that the purpose at that time was not just for the iron ore in Mexico.

Steel is now a sunrise industry, and the demand for steel is huge all over the world. At least in the next century, the supply of the steel market in the whole world will be less than the demand.

As long as steel that meets the quality standards can be produced, there is no need to worry about no market.

The same is true for coal, which will dominate the energy market for a long time to come.

With Liang Yao's statement, the attitudes of these state legislators who own mines are very decisive, and they choose to join the California Coal and Steel Alliance without hesitation.They believed in Liang Yao's vision and judgment.

Liang Yao's personal statement made the state government's policy of reducing taxes for non-gold industrial and mining enterprises more attractive.

Liang Yao's willingness to serve as the leader of the California Coal and Steel Alliance gave them great confidence and decided to use part of his wealth to test the waters.

Although their education level is not high, even ordinary Americans are well aware of the huge gap in the American steel market.

The industry association was formed in the state legislature, much to Fair's dismay.

After the establishment of the Agricultural Association, Fair wanted to follow Chen Baoliang's example and recruit a group of mine owners to form an industrial association to protect the interests of California's industrial and mining industry.

Fair still overestimated himself. Although he is a well-known rich man in California, he is the Minister of Industry.

But he is far from the appeal and strength to form an industrial association.

Except for some gold mine owners, no one paid attention to Fair.

The industry is far more than gold mining. There is only one person in California who has the ability to bring together all the industrial and mining leaders in California.

This person was the speaker of the state assembly, Liang Yao, who was eloquent and eloquent on the podium.

Fair listened carefully to Liang Yao's speech. The California Coal and Steel Alliance will establish a council as a coordinating body, and will grant the council the power to make decisions on major issues, approve and even supervise members of the California Coal and Steel Alliance.

At the same time, a council of the coal and steel alliance is set up, as long as it is a member of the coal and steel alliance, it is eligible to participate in the meeting.

These are all reasonable in Fei Er's view, but the next one surprised Fei Er.

That is, the coal and steel alliance actually has a court.

Also feeling wrong was Stanford.

Those old hats don't know much about this so-called coal and steel alliance, but Stanford, who is familiar with the law, knows that this is not just a coal and steel alliance.

The coal and steel alliance has a council, a parliament, and a court, and it looks like a national organization no matter how you look at it.

I heard that there are Mexicans joining, that is to say, if the Mexicans in the alliance commit crimes, the court of the Coal and Steel Alliance can still try the Mexicans?
Looking at the state legislators enthusiastically signing up to join the Coal and Steel Alliance regardless of whether they are in the industrial or mining industry, Stanford can't care about these people anymore. He doesn't want to lose this opportunity again.

California lacks judicial talents, and he is one of the few senior judicial talents in California.

The league's courts have him.

After the state legislature, lawmakers left the state legislature in droves.

"The California Legislature is the most efficient legislature I have ever seen. It would be unimaginable for a state legislature in another state to pass so many bills in one day." Ge Wen said with emotion.

Ge Wen is a political elite who has received an elite education. He knows that what Liang Yao did in California violates the spirit of the American Constitution.

But he is a vested interest in California, so there is no need to jump out against Liang Yao, and to oppose Liang Yao is to make trouble with gold.Ge Wen's private wealth mainly comes from the United Gold Mining Company jointly established by him, Liang Yao, and Fremont, and each of the three holds one-third of the shares.

Furthermore, with Liang Yao's prestige and influence in California, it would not have any good results to stand up against Liang Yao.

Ge Wen even felt that Liang Yao's strategy in California was very suitable for the state of California.

As a new state with immigrant population as the main body, in the case of low population quality, the old eastern state obviously does not work in California.

Moreover, California's population structure is very complex, and there are immigrants from any country. This is enough for the local rulers in any state to have a headache.

There must be a politically strong person to keep California stable and keep the California economy on track.

"Efficiency is above all else. I heard that the gold in the mining area of ​​the United Gold Mining Company has also been exhausted. Abandon the old mining area and go to the Nevada area or the northern mountainous area. Many gold mining companies have discovered new gold in these places these days. .” Liang Yao threw the briefcase in his hand to Kony who followed him.

"Many gold producing areas have been discovered, but none of them are rich mining areas." Ge Wen said with some regret, "Fortunately, I have also saved a lot of gold this year, and I can also do some other industries with you.

When my estate is finished, I want to bring my family to California. "

When Ge Wen came back from Washington this time, he bought a piece of land next to Tingtao Garden from Liang Yao. He is currently building his private estate and plans to settle in California for a long time.

"Not all gold mining areas are as rich as those in Sacramento," Liang Yao said.

"This session of the state legislature has been successfully concluded, and the development of California has entered the right track.

I think it's time for me to go to the East to personally thank your teacher, the Secretary of the Treasury, His Excellency Corwin, who has helped California a lot this time and won a lot of votes for us in Congress. "

"Your Excellency Ke Wen is also very interested in you, I think he is also very happy to meet you." Ge Wen said happily.

"There are also steel entrepreneurs in Ohio recommended to us by His Excellency Curwin. I want to visit them in Ohio." Liang Yao said.

"I'll go with you and go back to Ohio to pick up my family." Ge Wen said, "My estate needs some cement, and you are the only one who has these things in California."

"There are some, but the output of my cement plant is not high. You know, California is in short supply of cement. Since we are friends, I can give you 3000 pounds (1360kg) of cement as a priority."

Liang Yao told the truth.

His cement factory now has steam crushers, steam pulverizers, and steam mills, and many processes can be completed by machines.

However, the mixing of lime powder with iron and sand, and finally the mixing of clinker and gypsum, especially the process of mixing lime powder with iron and sand requires manual and precise proportioning.

However, there are not many skilled workers in cement factories, which limits the output of cement.

With the technology of this era, cement cannot be produced automatically.

"Maybe we can make cement together."

Ge Wen touched his chin and said.
