1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 75 Can the United States Donate Officials? (three more!)

When Liang Yao returned to Tingtao Garden, the servant told him that Dr. Robinson had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.

Dr. Robinson's mental state is particularly good. It can also be seen from Robinson's mental state that the cholera in California has been effectively controlled.

"Liang Yao, I'm here to thank you for those cholera patients." Robinson said.

"They should thank you doctors who have worked tirelessly."

Liang Yao asked Wu Yuanhua to find a place to sit down first.

Wu Yuanhua found a sofa and sat down, listening to the conversation between Liang Yao and Robinson with interest.

Wu Yuanhua had been dealing with foreigners with his father since he was a child, and thought that his English was already very good. Unexpectedly, Liang Yao could speak English more fluently than him.

After Robinson became the leader of the Boston Company, he gradually acquired some leadership qualities.Wu Yuanhua also expected that this foreigner was not an ordinary foreigner.

"Without your financial support and effective organization, no amount of hard work will work. This is a new manual I have revised from your existing Cholera Control Manual.

Now there are only more than [-] cholera patients left in the hospital. The cholera in California will soon be eradicated by us, but we cannot take it lightly and need to prevent the cholera outbreak from happening again. Robinson handed over his revised "Handbook on Cholera Prevention and Control".

"So we have created a miracle in the history of medicine?"

Liang Yao was flipping through the "Cholera Prevention Handbook" that Robinson handed him.

"Indeed! This is a great medical miracle! We have done what New York, Philadelphia, and Boston have not done. Based on the experience of these days, I have used sucrose and salt to concoct the best, Nutrient solution most easily absorbed by cholera patients.

It's just that you provided the idea of ​​preparing the nutrient solution. I don't know if you have the idea of ​​registering a patent. "

"My suggestion is to register a patent in the names of you and me, but after registering the patent, the formula can be released to the public for free." Liang Yao said with a smile.

The benefit of publishing the formula of the nutrient solution is far greater than that of registering a patent.

What he lacks now is prestige, not money.

The simple Robinson didn't know what Liang Yao was thinking at this time. He always thought that although Liang Yao loved money, he was a person of high moral character.

"This is really good news for thousands of cholera patients!" Dr. Robinson said happily.

"I used to be a member of the New York Medical Association. I have summed up the experience of preventing and controlling cholera in California and am about to send it to New York. But before that, I hope to obtain your consent and your signature. After all You are the greatest contributor to the fight against cholera in California!"

"I am happy to sign this experience summary, which is an excellent news material." Liang Yao said.

"News material?" Robinson expressed some confusion.

"I mean not only to send the summary of our experience of successfully defeating cholera to the New York Medical Association, but also to publish it in the newspaper so that more people can see it.

It would be better that way, whether ordinary people, doctors or government officials, would be able to learn more quickly about our experience of successfully combating cholera, Dr. Robinson, what do you think? "

"Ah?! Why didn't I think of it, or you were more thoughtful!" Dr. Robinson rubbed his forehead.

"It has been a long time since a Citizens' Committee meeting has been held, and I think it is necessary to hold a Citizens' Committee meeting in the near future."

Liang Yao changed the subject and mentioned the matter of the citizens' committee.

Originally formed in response to Brannan's threat, the Citizens' Committee was attended primarily by California gold mining companies and organizations.

After Brannan's death, the Citizens' Committee was not disbanded.

Liang Yao knew that the Eastern Consortium was a stronger and more terrifying enemy than Brannan. He was not strong enough now, and he didn't want to fight alone when facing the threat of the Eastern Consortium.

"The leaders of many mining companies have also mentioned this matter to me. They are also worried that the arrival of the Eastern Consortium will squeeze their living space. It's just that you are accompanying Mr. Vanderbilt to investigate in the front end, and I am treating cholera patients in the hospital. , are all so busy that they can't get away."

Robinson said.

Those gold mining companies and organizations also realized the threat that the arrival of the Eastern Consortium would pose to California.

Some gold prospectors had worked in certain consortiums in the east. They left the east to California either because they were laid off, or because the wages were too low to support their families, they simply resigned and went to California to try their luck.

They also knew that those eastern consortiums would not be as magnanimous as Liang Yao when they arrived in California. They only needed to pay the land rent every month, and they could stay in Liang Yao's private territory to pan for gold.

On this point, the interests of the gold diggers and Liang Yao are the same.

"Then choose a time to hold a meeting. California is about to become a state. I think we gold diggers can best represent the interests of the California people." Liang Yao said, "When the Eastern Consortium arrives, it will not only squeeze the gold diggers. The living space is so simple, for these people, watching others make money is more uncomfortable than losing money themselves."

After seeing off Robinson, Liang Yao and Wu Yuanhua started talking.

"Brother, may I ask, what does Jianzhou mean?" Wu Yuanhua asked curiously.

"It is to establish a local government. There is no emperor in the United States, and the local government is organized by the local gentry." Liang Yao said very perfunctorily. He was not interested in explaining the political systems of the Qing Dynasty and the United States to Wu Yuanhua.

"Without the Son of Heaven, wouldn't that be a mess?" Wu Yuanhua felt very unbelievable.

"In ancient times, when there was no emperor, didn't the ancestors live well?" Liang Yao laughed.

"Brother, I wonder if the United States can donate officials?" Wu Yuanhua asked, wondering whether the Wu family could find a way out in the United States like the Liang family.

With the court's insatiable greed, although the Wu family still has some family wealth left, according to the court's method of collecting money, the Wu family's property will be emptied sooner or later.

Businessmen in the Qing Dynasty, even official businessmen, were among the most insecure businessmen in the world.

"Brother Wu is addicted to official donation?" Liang Yao couldn't help teasing.

"Ahem." Wu Yuanhua habitually lowered his voice and said, "Brother, this is to find a way out. To tell you the truth, since the five-port trade agreement and my father's driving to the west, our Wu family and these merchants in Guangzhou have lived a very difficult life. It's hard to live, the court is pressing for money.

We merchants can only demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall, but this is not the way to go. According to this demolition method, whether it is the east wall or the west wall, it will be demolished sooner or later.

Brother Wangxian reads the friendship of fellow countrymen, and can point out the way for Brother Yu. "

"Donation is possible, but the donation method in the United States is different from that in the Qing Dynasty. However, with the reputation accumulated by generations of Jardine House, there is no need to follow these crooked ways." Liang Yao said.

The Wu family has a good reputation in western business circles, and the reputation of Jardine House has been accumulated by generations of the Wu family, and its brand value is immeasurable.

Even the British were jealous of this, and the shameless British guys finally used their brains to set up a copycat Jardine Matheson, with the purpose of confusing the audition with the name and using the influence of Jardine Matheson.

Although there is only one word difference between Jardine House and Jardine Matheson, Jardine House and Jardine Matheson are completely different things. It is a pity that the Wu family does not have the so-called sense of property rights, which is cheaper for the British.

By the time Jardine Matheson became bigger, Jardine Matheson had completely weakened, and there was nothing to do about it.

"What does my brother mean?"

Wu Yuanhua knew very well that Liang Yao was able to create a world in a foreign country at a young age because of his excellence, so he listened carefully to Liang Yao's words.
