1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 510 Fighting violence with violence

To be honest, Liang Yao was very disappointed with the Buchanan government that had just come to power.

He does not expect mediocre people like Buchanan to bring the United States out of the quagmire of the economic crisis. His greatest expectation for the Buchanan government is to maintain the basic social order in the United States and ensure his normal economic activities in the east.

Obviously, he overestimated the capabilities of Buchanan and his cabinet, and the Buchanan government could not even do this.

Far from being contained, the riots in the east tended to intensify.

Thinking of this, Liang Yao inexplicably missed the time when Fillmore was in power.

Although Fillmore is not a great talent, he is at least a qualified conservative president.

The president of the United States is really worse than one term, Liang Yao sighed in his heart.

Those who are now in power in Washington are not even politicians at all, they are simply a group of political clowns.

"President, among us, you have the most face and the most weight in your words. You have to make the decision for us." A Cantonese businessman ran up to Liang Yao and said in Cantonese.

He hoped to narrow the distance between the two of them with his accent, and hoped that Liang Yao could help him out in the friendship of fellow countrymen.

"God will help those who help themselves, and those who abandon themselves will be abandoned by heaven. Only you can be your own masters." Liang Yao took another sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"I have a question for you guys. Maybe you can tell the difference between a Yankee and a Dixie?"

"Old Dixie prefers riding, shooting and hunting, and the southern sun is harsh, so Dixie's neck and face look redder, which seems to be caused by the sun.

But not every Dixie is like that.If the old man could tell whether a man was a Dixie or a Yankee, the old man couldn't be sure. "

Pan Zhengwei, who almost rushed to Tingtao Garden with Liang Yao, thought carefully and said.

Pan's Tongfu Group has done a lot of business in the United States in recent years. Tongfu Group was listed on the Wall Street Exchange last year.

Therefore, the Pan family also had to deal frequently with the barbarians of the foreign country he once thought.

The Pans did business with the Yankees in the north and the Dixie people in the south.On this issue, Pan Zhengwei still has a say.

"Then can you tell the difference between Tsinghua people, Yankee people, and Dixie people?" Liang Yao continued to ask the next question.

"The president was joking. Even if we cut our braids, took off our robes and mandarin jackets, and put on Hanfu and even western clothes. But the yellow skin, black and straight hair, these things are left to us by our ancestors and cannot be changed." Pan Zhengwei said.

"The president means that there are thugs targeting us Chinese?" Wu Yuanhua suddenly reacted.

"That's right. There are many freedmen among the blacks. However, since the founding of the United States seventy years ago, although these black freedmen are free in name, they have not actually been treated as real citizens." Liang Yao sneered.

"Since they discriminate against blacks and don't treat blacks as human beings, they will naturally discriminate against us Chinese, and don't treat us Chinese as human beings, thinking that we are weak and can be bullied!"

"It's unreasonable! I'll call Washington to protest!" Wu Yuanhua was filled with righteous indignation, and angrily ran to the telegraph room to send a telegram.

"Hold on! These white-skinned politicians in the United States are all low-spirited. It's useless to play tricks on them. You have to teach them a deep lesson before they can remember." Liang Yao stopped Wu Yuanhua.

Liang Yao understood the nature of Washington politicians better than the Chinese businessmen present, and they would definitely not take a mere verbal protest to heart.

In this matter, they must not back down, otherwise, those clowns in Washington will only become more unscrupulous.It is not even ruled out that these clowns took the risk, and in order to divert the contradiction between the north and the south, they aimed their spearhead at the west and turned it into a contradiction between the east and the west.

This kind of result was the last thing Liang Yao wanted to see.

In this way, the official blatant racial discrimination activities against the Chinese, and the anti-Chinese movement will not be far away.

Liang Yao had to prepare for the worst.

"President, what should we do? We all listen to you!"

"Yes, we all listen to you! We will do whatever you say!"

Chinese businessmen are aware of the seriousness of the problem, and they only follow Liang Yao's lead.

"Okay! Since you all praised Liang, this master, Liang will do it for you!" Liang Yao said very happily.

"With your words, we can rest assured. Just tell us, what should we do?" The Chinese businessmen all gathered around Liang Yao and listened carefully to Liang Yao's words, for fear of missing a word.

"First, we must retaliate with an eye and fight violence with violence. Call all local chambers of commerce and associations in the east and ask them to tell all Chinese who make a living in the east to gather temporarily and prepare guns. If you encounter any unruly people If you want to do something wrong, you don't need to ask too many questions, just shoot and kill, regardless of whether it's right or wrong!" Liang Yao said the first thing.

"The Chinese in the east already gather together, and each chamber of commerce also has weapons and ammunition. This is not too difficult to do. I will do it." Wu Yuanhua nodded.

"It's true that those ghosts should show some color, otherwise they would think that we Chinese are easy to bully."

Everyone has no objection to this one, and expressed their support one after another.

"Secondly, from today onwards, Chinese businessmen have suspended all commercial activities in the eastern region and went on strike to protest. Anyone who violates this rule and trades without authorization will be immediately expelled from the chamber of commerce and will never be allowed to re-enter the chamber of commerce!" Liang Yao said.

The strike clause has sparked controversy.

Once the market strikes, the first thing to do is to face direct commercial losses.

This is still secondary, once the original business partners and customer cooperation are temporarily canceled, it is inevitable that people will lose their trust, and what they will lose are these business partners and customers that they have finally won.

"President, the villain thinks this is inappropriate and hastily strikes the market. If our customers find a replacement during our strike, I'm afraid." Zeng Jinsong hesitated.

These words made Liang Yao angry, and Liang Yao was about to scold Zeng Jinsong angrily.Deng Wenyu was already pointing at Zeng Jinsong's nose and yelling at him.

"Confused! You short-sighted people! Just now you said that you should listen to the third brother. Why, when it comes to the market strike, you can't bear a little bit of money? My third brother earns less money with you on weekdays?!
If we give up today, even if we can earn money in the future, we will still earn money on our knees, and we need to act according to other people's opinions!If we are tough today, once things are done, we will all stand and make money in the future, and no one dares to provoke us! "

"Jin Song, have you been blinded by money? You can't tell right from wrong?!" Wu Yuanhua was also very dissatisfied with Zeng Jinsong's words, and ignored his seniority and etiquette, calling him by his first name.

Liang Yao stood up and said to Zeiss: "Caisi, send an immediate message to the New York branch of the Americas Group. From now on, the Americas Group will suspend all business in the east!"

"Yes! Your Excellency." Chase nodded, trotted all the way out of the living room, and went to the telegraph room to send a message.

Liang Yao's cold eyes swept over everyone: "Liang has always been not forceful. If you don't want to participate in the strike, you can directly raise it now, leave the chamber of commerce on your own, and go to the road in the future, each going to the other side. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't worry about it." Find the Chamber of Commerce, let alone mention that you are a member of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, you are Chinese!"
