The banquet is over and the benefits begin to be distributed.
Today's San Francisco is divided into two parts.
Wells Fargo adheres to its old beliefs and focuses on banking and financial matters.
But Ark Group is different. In addition to banks, they are also good at discovering new things.
Those are slave companies and various military factories,
Develop small towns, contract construction, and be responsible for the safety of various areas,
As long as it makes money, Ark Group will do it!
A few days later, Morgan returned with the results of negotiations with the states,
The effect this time was obviously very smooth, because Ark Group was not short of money or people, and the railway matters were quickly arranged and put online.
While Morgan was busy dealing with the railway company, Lu Yan was hunted down again!
Holding a shovel in his hand, Bennett roared: "Asshole, who asked you to help tie my parents and sisters here!"
Faced with Bennett's roar, Lu Yan couldn't help but turn around and said, "Don't you want to see your parents and sisters?"
"But is this how you let me see them?"
Looking at Lu Yan in shock, Bennett forgot how to defend himself.
She just wanted to express her intention to leave, but what about Lu Yan? Forget about tying up one person, and tie up her whole family!
Now that's it, let's go back to Britain? Next life!
"Hey, I've been kind enough to you, put it down, this thing is for planting trees!"
After snatching Bennett's shovel away, Lu Yan rolled his eyes angrily.
Didn't she say she wanted to see her parents and sisters? He helped her bring people here, but he didn't even know how to be grateful to himself!
When Lu Yan left, Bennett stamped his feet and said, "Damn bastard!"
Arriving at the manor, Lu Yan looked at Elizabeth who was reviewing the documents and said, "How is the matter handled? Has the town approved it?"
When Lu Yan asked, Elizabeth shook her head and said, "They refused because of insufficient funds!"
"Funds? Isn't that a town we built ourselves?"
Looking at Elizabeth in shock, Lu Yan asked with confusion on his face,
Because he wanted to build a town next to San Francisco, but was rejected by the superiors.
When Lu Yan found Lucio, he said he had no idea about it.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan understood that his plan had been blocked!
"Who did it?"
Sitting next to Elizabeth, Lu Yan "consciously" put his hands on her waist,
Looking at Lu Yan angrily, Elizabeth glanced sideways and said: "A congressman named Philon, he is not getting along well with Lucio at the moment!"
Hearing this, Lu Yan frowned and said, "Will it have any impact on our group?"
“He was planning to abolish slavery because he thought it seemed inhumane!”
After speaking helplessly, Elizabeth immediately rolled her eyes.
After hearing what she said, Lu Yan's eyes flickered and he said, "Is this guy here to cause trouble?"
How long had it been since the Slavery Bill was passed before this guy thought of opposing it?
Or after the railway company started operating, didn't he know how much money Lu Yan would lose by doing this?
"We have only two options now. One is to find a way to 'persuade' him, and the other is to stop the next plan!"
Looking at Lu Yan, Elizabeth spoke seriously,
Because once the bill is cancelled, all slaves today will regain their "freedom",
This is something that Lu Yan and everyone cannot bear!
Lu Yan's Ark Group, as someone supported by local mine owners, must resolve this matter!
Tapping his slender fingertips on the table, Lu Yan said, "Does he have anything to do with Wells Fargo?"
"I don't know. Ross has sent people to investigate, but it will take some time!"
After slapping Lu Yan's hand away, Elizabeth couldn't help rolling her eyes and said, "Aren't you going to find your Louise and Anna?"
"If you want, I can marry you anytime!"
Looking at Elizabeth with a smile on his face, Lu Yan became affectionate,
But after hearing what he said, Elizabeth stood up and said, "You should deal with the next thing carefully, I'm going to have afternoon tea!"
Watching Elizabeth leave, Lu Yan couldn't help but want to slap himself.
He had nothing to do to disturb Elizabeth. Now, so many companies need to solve their own problems!
Thinking about it, Lu Yan opened the documents one after another and began to read them carefully.
The arms factory is the simplest company, because starting from steelmaking, everything is handled by its own people.
The DuPont family has now begun to rise, but the two sides have not met.
It was not until after the Civil War, around 1872, that the DuPont family began to fully occupy the entire gunpowder market.
But Lu Yan will definitely not let them get what they want.
As a military factory, gunpowder is already at your throat. What kind of weapons do you have? You can go back and sell sweet potatoes!
Besides, he was a staunch supporter of the South during the Civil War!
If you want to abolish slavery, what will you do with all the free labor? Is it a waste of time?
Lincoln's actions were not only damaging the interests of southern manor owners, but also digging into Lu Yan's roots!
A few days later, Ross came back with news,
But what is surprising is that Philon is not a "monkey" from Wells Fargo.
But people coming from the north,
Thinking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help but frown. Did the North sense the future so early?
But even so, he still had to have a good chat with the other party!
We met at a manor somewhere. Lu Yan arrived very early.
Just as he sat down, Philon walked into the living room and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lu!"
"Me too, Mr. Fearon!"
After standing up and exchanging greetings, Lu Yan looked at him and said, "I am very straightforward, just like the rules of the Ark Group! I never play tricks. There is a box of gold here. No matter what the north promises you, I can give you double , provided that you give up that stupid plan!”
"Sorry, Mr. Lu, the existence of slaves in California is shameful. They are also human beings and deserve fairness and freedom."
Looking at Lu Yan, Philon did not choose to accept the gold.
Hearing what the other party said, Lu Yan was not angry. He stood up and applauded: "Mr. Feilon, I really didn't expect that you are such a brilliant person with human nature!"
"Mr. Lu, this is just what I should do!"
Speaking with a smile on his face, Philon nodded calmly.
Leaving the manor at midnight,
Lu Yan sat behind the carriage and said with cold eyes: "Find someone to blow him up to the sky! How can such an idiot become a member of the House of Representatives? Are those voters idiots? I can do it too!"
Throw the cigarette out of the carriage,
Lu Yan, who had completely torn away his disguise, was dumbfounded at the moment.
Where did the "Virgin Mary" come from, talking about freedom in this era? Is he crazy?
Did he think that before the DuPont family invented the "earth airplane"? Wouldn't he, Lu, ask someone to sit down?
Sure enough, two days later, when Congressman Philon was traveling to preach freedom and equality, he was directly hit by a bomb.
That scene was a nightmare for countless people, because everyone was scattered and couldn't put it together.
After learning the news, Lucio was so frightened that he didn't dare to go out for several days.
Because he knows who did it,
Except for Lu Yan, no one in California dares to use this method!
After learning that Philon was gone, Lu Yan happily drank a glass of wine.
Mudd, when he talks about freedom in front of slave owners, who is he trying to eliminate?
Faced with a lawless master like Lu Yan, the California State Assembly also wanted to suppress it, but had no choice but to give Lu Yan too much.
After all, he is just a congressman. Just replace him with another one. He is not so bad now!
