1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 335
James and Lionel's nephew sailed into New York Harbor on a [-]-ton luxury yacht, the Elegance.

This is a propeller-driven steam ship, without the bulky and huge paddle wheels on both sides of the ship, which makes this yacht look very elegant.

The exterior decoration of the ship is also extremely luxurious. There is a beautifully carved figure on the bow of the ship. From a distance, it can be seen that the owner of this yacht is either rich or noble.

In the United States, the Polaris, which people talk about, is inevitably eclipsed in front of the Elegance.

After seeing the ship, Vanderbilt even had the idea of ​​rebuilding a luxury yacht comparable to the Elegance.

Of course, this is just an idea. Most of Vanderbilt's shipyards have been handed over to Liang Yao, and he no longer has the ability to build large luxury yachts by himself.

Liang Yao welcomed James and Lionel and his nephew at the busy New York Harbor pier.

Under the eyes of everyone, the two stepped off the Yacht Elegance side by side, neither of them willing to give in.

Lionel is richer than his uncle, and James is older than his nephew, his elder.That's why they don't give in to each other.

What surprised Liang Yao was that Lionel was not bald, but had very thick hair.

Lionel also seemed willing to show off his impressively thick locks.

He was well-dressed, with a neatly folded bow tie on his chest, but he didn't wear a top hat, as if he was deliberately showing off his proud thick hair.

Middle-aged Jews like Lionel are very rare without baldness. Not only are they not bald, they also have thick hair, which is the first time Liang Yao has seen.

Liang Yao's subordinate, Strauss, is also a Jew. He is only in his twenties this year, and his hairline has already started to move up obviously, and his hair is getting thinner and thinner.

I'm afraid Strauss will also feel envious when he sees Lionel's beautiful hair.

As for Lionel's uncle, he wrapped his head tightly with a top hat. Needless to say, the amount of hair on the top of his head must not be optimistic.

"America welcomes you, New York welcomes you, Senator Lionel and Sir James." Liang Yao welcomed the arrival of these two.

Liang Yao had done his homework on the Rothschild family in this period very early on, so he still had a certain understanding of the family.

Of the five branches of the Rothschild family, except for the branch of Lionel in London, which has no title, the other four have baronetships in their respective countries.

During the Dorian period in Britain, it was not easy for foreigners to obtain British titles, especially foreign Jews who were not well-known in Europe.It can be said that Lionel's father, Nathan, has fully stacked the debuff for obtaining the British title.

Although Lionel's father Nathan has made a lot of contributions to the British government, he has not been able to obtain the British title he dreamed of throughout his life, which is one of the few regrets in his father's life.

"Nice to meet you, General Liang. When I was in London, I heard that the United States had a 23-year-old general. I didn't expect that we would meet in New York today."

Liang Yao's first impression of Lionel was not bad.

Liang Yao has a handsome appearance, a tall and burly figure, and decent manners. The only thing Lionel regrets is that Liang Yao's English has a strong American flavor and is not classy enough.

It would be great if Liang Yao could speak an authentic Cockney English.

"You are very discerning. The Rothschild family has come to cooperate with us for such a huge commercial project as kerosene. You have found the right person. Our family has a sales network in every big city on the continent of Europa." James smiled. said.

"As long as you can provide enough goods, you can drill a steady stream of real gold and silver in the continent of Europa."

The ability of the Rothschild family to become bigger and bigger in Europe has a lot to do with the abilities of the old Meyer's five sons.

Maybe it's the smoke rising from the old Meyer's ancestral grave. His five sons are more capable than the other, and none of them has lived up to his high expectations. They have all made the Rothschild family's industry bigger and stronger in their countries, and even monopolized it. The financial lifeline of a country.

James' vision is naturally not comparable to the idiots of Sears and his ilk.

From August's few words, he was keenly aware that the kerosene business was very promising, and the market size was appalling.

Therefore, he immediately called a few nephews to discuss the matter, and finally decided to go to the United States with Lionel and meet Liang Yao for a while.

"Can you really increase kerosene production to over 1500 million liters in a year? To over 5000 million liters in two years?"

Lionel, who was exposed to kerosene for the first time, was someone who liked to try new things, before August brought kerosene back to Europe.

A very small amount of kerosene from California has already flowed into the British market, but this is the kerosene produced in the early days of California, and the quality of kerosene produced today is even worse.

After using it, Lionel found that this kind of kerosene burns stably, and the lighting effect is better than other vegetable fuels and animal fuels.

It's just that the amount of kerosene in the British market was very scarce at that time, and there were different opinions on the source, so Lionel didn't take it too seriously.

After knowing clearly that this brand new fuel oil is all produced in California, America, and that Liang Yao has the ability to expand the production of kerosene to more than 5000 million liters within two years, and the cost is still very low, Lionel is no longer calm I can't come down.

He knows what it means to monopolize a kind of consumables that people need daily. If you don’t have one, it means the necessities of life like clothes and salt. influence the politics of a country.

That is why he was willing to condescend from London to come to the humble land of America.

"As long as the two of you can provide me with enough low-interest loans to expand my production capacity, this amount of output is no problem at all." Liang Yao said confidently, and then changed the subject, "I wonder if you have brought what I want? "

The things he was referring to were, of course, the Amster Company's artillery technical drawings, as well as the experimental artillery.

Lionel smiled cunningly, and said to Liang Yao, "Mr. Liang, would you be interested in visiting our yacht?"

"Of course I'm interested." Liang Yao smiled.

The Yacht Elegance is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, so why not take a look on the yacht.

The Elegance belonged to Lionel, and Lionel was a distinguished member of Congress, and his status in London was very prominent. Naturally, no one dared to search his yacht.

The technical drawings and artillery samples stolen by Amstel Corporation in the big bang are likely hidden on the Elegance.

And who would dare to believe that a member of Congress of a country would single-handedly plan the bombing of its own military factory, and use his own yacht to transport the stolen technical drawings and artillery samples to a country on the other side of the ocean that does not have a harmonious relationship with his motherland? Woolen cloth?

Lionel led Liang Yao aboard the Yacht Elegance under the envious gazes of the New York nobles.
