Chapter 338 The Arrogant Japanese
With the help of Sheriff George Maher, William Hope came to Zhao Chuanxin after he terminated the contract with his original employer.

At this time, Miao Cuihua was shaving Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin likes sunshine, so he doesn't like to stay in the house.

Miao Cuihua sat on the stool, leaned over to use an old-fashioned razor for him, and shaved his face seriously and carefully.

After suffering from liver pain for several days, it was rare for Zhao Chuanxin to rest for a while and enjoy the leisurely sunlight.

Haircut and shave are the most intoxicating activities, and Zhao Chuanxin's consciousness began to blur after a while, and he was only a step away from falling asleep.

Just when the sober line of defense was in jeopardy, the voice of the damned Freddie Pavitt sounded: "Master, the cowboy named William Hope of the day is here."

Miao Cuihua glared at Freddy Pavitt dissatisfied.

In the past few days, Zhao Chuanxin forgot to sleep and eat, and was unshaven, she felt very distressed.

After a break, he was interrupted by Freddie Pavitt.

Zhao Chuanxin opened his eyes: "Bring him here."

William Hope was looking at the scale and luxury of the manor in astonishment.

He hadn't expected that the irascible man whom Georges Maher refused to tell him about his identity actually had such a magnificent manor.

So, become more cautious.

This is a low-level person, facing the humility that capitalists should have.

He took off his hat and bent over: "Hello, sir."

Try to make yourself look, not so vulgar.

But the smell of cow dung and sweat on his body couldn't be concealed.

Zhao Chuanxin took the wet towel from Miao Cuihua and wiped off the remaining foam on his face.

He got straight to the point: "Serena, let me ask you, do you know the place Kurdex?"

William Hope nodded: "Yes, it's in Westchester County, not far from North Tarrytown, on the east bank of the Hudson River. I once wanted to go there to try my luck, there are too many local beasts, no People are willing to take the risk of hiring someone to graze, but the pastures are good."

Zhao Chuanxin got up and patted him on the shoulder: "Serena, I'm very optimistic about you, the sky will surely send you a big responsibility, can you take it?"

Miao Cuihua, who was familiar with Zhao Chuanxin, immediately knew that Zhao Chuanxin might be plotting against someone.

To be courteous to others, one must ask for something, which Zhao Chuanxin always interprets vividly.

But William Hope didn't understand, he was flattered: "Sir, I don't know anything else but riding a horse and herding cattle."

"Humility, you Europeans and Americans are not good at this point, you are too modest."

"Ah this..."

Isn't this the stereotype that Europeans and Americans have about Asians?
"I'm going to buy a batch of cattle to raise in Kurdex. What breed do you think I'm going to buy?"

William Hope thought for a moment and answered carefully: "Sir, Scottish cold-resistant cattle, Jesse cattle, Holstein cattle, Brown Swiss cattle, these types of cattle can produce both milk and meat, and they are more suitable for grazing in Kurdex. Breed of cattle. Based in New York City, no matter whether it is beef or milk, there is no need to worry about sales.”

Hearing what he said clearly and logically, it seems that this cowboy still has two brushes.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "How many cows do you think you can raise with your ability?"

"Sir, my fellows and I can put up to 400. But Kurdex has many ferocious beasts. If you prepare some shepherd dogs, it's best to put 300."

Zhao Chuanxin was taken aback.

Outside the customs, because there is no pasture, even in later generations, Zhao Chuanxin, who raises cattle in his own family, saw that the most he raised was only thirty or fifty.

But William Hope talked about three or four hundred heads.

Zhao Chuanxin is a bit out of control, now is the time to spend money everywhere.

He hesitated and asked, "What's the price for a cow?"

Speaking of which, that's William Hope's specialty.

He said: "Sir, it depends on whether you want to produce milk or meat. I suggest buying a Holstein, a small calf. If the color is beautiful, the frame is good, and the calf with thick legs, the price may reach 30 US dollars. If it is ordinary Yes, it costs at least $18. In order to produce quickly, you need to mix adult cows and young calves. It is best to buy both cows and calves. The price difference between adult cows is relatively large, between $80 and $150 It varies between. If you want to buy at a low price, you'd better go to the south and west to buy, at least 5-10 dollars per cow can be cheaper..."

Zhao Chuanxin won the prize. After a rough calculation, I, Cao, have a lot of money.

There must be additional configuration to buy a cow.

And he didn't have time to go west or south to buy cattle.

Thinking of spending so much money, he hesitated even more.

Relocating the factory and buying cattle is another big bill.

Zhao Chuanxin stroked his hair: "How about, let's not have 400 heads, let's not have 300 heads, I'm afraid you can't manage it, let's just have 200 heads."

Didn't you just say that you want to make yourself a big job?
William Hope was dumbfounded.

Why are you afraid that you won't be able to manage it now?

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "That's it. Serena, I am very optimistic about you. So, I will record this batch of cattle under your name. At the same time, you have to go to the local Build a factory, also in your name."

This time it was William Hope's turn to startle.

He stammered, his mouth was dry: "Sir, I, I really don't know anything else."

"Don't worry, I will go with you. If you don't, you can learn slowly, and there will be a day."

Originally, Zhao Chuanxin didn't intend to suffer this crime.

But to raise 200 cows, that is not a small sum, and he is not at ease if he does not go.

People in this era, regardless of the East and the West, dare not just accept the pie that falls from the sky.

William Hope hesitated, but Zhao Chuanxin refused to give him a chance. He turned to Freddie Pavitt and said, "Tomorrow, I will set off and take William to Kurdex to explore the road first. Find a good place, and I will I will inform you. When the time comes, you will slowly move the factory there. If someone asks, you will say that you are bankrupt and sell the equipment.”

Freddy Pavitt pulled Zhao Chuanxin aside and whispered, "Is this William Hope reliable?"

"I will make him gradually lose the courage to be greedy." Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully.

Benjamin Goldberg and Marcus Nkrumah went to punching bags and came back out of breath and said, "Master, I think I can beat everyone in school."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at his little arms and legs, and shook his head: "Obviously, you can't."

Benjamin Goldberg was a little frustrated.

"Master, then what's the use of me practicing boxing?"

"You have to learn like a teacher, and don't always show off your bravery. Collecting soldiers from all over the world, gathering them in Xianyang, and becoming the god of war in the world is what a man should do seriously."

Freddie Pavitt wiped sweat from his brow.

If you want to say that the best man in the world is the master, right?

Zhao Chuanxin continued: "Okay, don't talk nonsense. Tomorrow, Master will take you to Kurdex. On the way, we have to design a semi-automatic rifle. Time will never wait."

……

While Zhao Chuanxin and the American consortium were conducting a turn-based approach, the rest of the world was also running at high speed.

hawaii.

Since Hawaii was returned to the United States, the United States has introduced many laws targeting immigrants from Asia.

For example, the people of the Qing Dynasty, each boat should have no more than 25 people, and they must hold a special passport to land on the island.

At that time, Zhao Chuanxin and others were stopped at the port.

These laws also target Japanese immigrants, the largest immigrant group in Hawaii.

Hawaii recently passed a law requiring all immigrants to be fingerprinted when entering Hawaii.

The Qing people were so used to being bullied that they dared not resist at all.

But the Japanese exploded as soon as they heard it.

The Japanese feel good about themselves now. Since the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, especially the victory of the Tsushima Sea Battle, they feel that they are doing well, and they can wrestle with the European and American powers.

Obviously, although this law is aimed at the entire Asian group on the surface, it is better to say that it is mainly aimed at Japanese immigrants who came to Hawaii.

Because the number is too large, it has aroused the vigilance of the United States.

This contradiction is temporarily backlogged.

After Zhao Chuanxin left Hawaii, Nippon Plant Fertilizer Co., Ltd. intends to acquire the Golden Island in Hawaii, planning to plant pine trees there as timber and build a large-scale agricultural park at the same time.

The local Kanakas stopped doing it as soon as they heard it.

They planted sugar cane well on the Golden Island, and the Japanese wanted to make a move?
The contradiction broke out completely.

The Japanese and the Kanakas protested at the same time, but the Japanese protested against the United States by marching, while the Kanakas, led by the high priest, were fully prepared to fight the Japanese crowd.

Even though they have now become a minority in Hawaii, they are no worse than the Japanese in terms of war.

American journalists were moved by the news and came to Hawaii for interviews, wanting to get first-hand information.

then,

They heard the arrogant slogans of the Japanese immigrant marches.

"Hawaii should belong to Japan!"

"Americans get out of Hawaii, or Japan will bombard San Francisco!"

American reporters were stunned!

Who gave them the courage to shout like that?

This kind of slogan will definitely not be groundless.

They began to conduct in-depth investigations, only to find out that this slogan was shouted by a Japanese military officer named Miyoshi Zenzo in order to strengthen his emotions when he was giving a speech.

Of course he does not represent Japan.

But in the eyes of American journalists, this is provocation!

They also got news that the top Japanese military leaders headed by Yoshimichi Hasegawa also often use the United States as an imaginary enemy, imagining war with the United States, where Japanese warships will bombard and land.

When the news was published in American newspapers, some people laughed, some felt that Japan was overreaching, and some felt that Japan was a threat.

white house,
Da Luo put down the newspaper and first asked his secretary and assistant William Bro: "The Queen of the Netherlands will arrive tomorrow, right?"

William Bro is a workaholic and is Da Luo's personal secretary. Everything will go through his hands.

He said: "Yes, sir, I have arranged the official reception, and the rest is up to Madam."

Da Luo clicked on the newspaper again: "The Japanese are really arrogant. However, they are a jealous, allergic and warlike nation. They can do anything and pose a great threat to Hawaii!"

William Bro nodded in approval: "Sir, our Great White Fleet is almost ready, so don't worry too much about Japan."

Da Luo was a little angry with Japan's attitude: "These damned bastards are always unwilling to stop. Let the navy prepare. I want them to sail around the world before Christmas, so that the Japanese can see our military power!"
