1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 90 Nonsense (third shift)
Liang Yao did have such an idea, trying to divide and resolve these pawns of the New York consortium.

It's just a pity that he didn't succeed. The degree of unity of these financial groups and their lackeys was beyond Liang Yao's expectations.

Nigel still has some knowledge. It seems that being able to become Vanderbilt's trusted assistant is not as simple as having strong business ability.

The maid brought the refill tea to Nigel. Nigel took his hand out of his pocket, took the cup of tea, and tasted it seriously, like a senior tea lover.

"Do you know tea?" Liang Yao asked curiously.

"I don't understand, but it's delicious. I like it very much." Nigel said very honestly, "I can't buy such authentic Chinese tea in New York. Can you send me a bag of tea later? My tea is coming soon." It's over."

"Nigel, I don't think you came to me today just for the tea, right?" Liang Yao put away the list in his hand.

"As you said, the two ships of the California Shipping Company have problems and need to be repaired at your shipyard." Nigel explained the purpose of coming, "Your shipyard is the only place in California where ships can be repaired. It will take three weeks."

"You can jump in the queue, but you have to pay extra. I'll go back and say hello to the shipyard." Liang Yao said.

"There is one more thing about Kony. If Kony keeps doing nothing like this, I'm afraid Mr. Vanderbilt's side will not be easy for you to explain." Nigel reminded Liang Yao, "Although I also know what Master Kony is. No, I can’t help you much, but he will definitely carry the bag, so let him follow you, maybe he can learn something from you, even if it’s superficial.”

Liang Yao didn't forget Kony, but since John arrived in California, he had to concentrate on dealing with those consortiums that flocked to him, and he didn't have time to take care of Kony, the second generation ancestor.

"Sir, here is the brochure you want."

Hu Jinchen handed Liang Yao a booklet called "Ghost Tales".

Hu Jinchen was the most capable of the fifteen buddies Wu Yuanhua gave him. Strauss went to the east to purchase companies, purchase machines and supplies, and Liang Yao needed a capable assistant by his side.

He thought it over and over again, and finally chose the most capable one from the fifteen former Jardines to stay with him.

Liang Yao was flipping through this booklet called "Ghost Tales". The so-called ghost stories are the words of ghosts.

This "Nonsense" is equivalent to a quick start manual for spoken English in this era.

"You learned English from this booklet at the beginning?" Liang Yao flipped through the "Ghost Tales" in his hand, which basically consisted of some daily expressions, and beside it were annotations in Chinese characters with similar pronunciations.

But after reading, there are some more complicated sentences, and the content is basically related to business, such as how to ask the unit price of the goods, and how to bargain and other sentences.

"Mr. Hui, on Shisanhang Street, almost everyone has a copy. In addition to "Ghost Tales", there is also "Red-haired Ghost Tales". It's just that since I was born, most of the foreign businessmen who came to Guangzhou to do business are British businessmen, so I learned "Ghost Tales" " is also the most." Hu Jinchen replied respectfully.

Compared with Strauss, Hu Jinchen does not have the confidence of Strauss.

Although Strauss, Hu Jinchen and him are all in the relationship between employers and employees, Hu Jinchen's behavior looks more like Liang Yao's servant, and the relationship between the two is more like a master and servant.

Even when speaking, Hu Jinchen was cautious, for fear of making Liang Yao unhappy.

"What's the effect?" Liang Yao asked as he closed the booklet.

"If it's nonsense, that is, if you want to speak English like a foreigner like Mr., it is absolutely impossible to rely on this booklet, but after learning this booklet, you can communicate with foreigners and do some simple business. .”

Hu Jinchen said very seriously.

"Foreigners speak many languages, but English is the simplest and easiest to learn."

"Since that's the case, you will send this brochure to the newspaper's printing factory later, and hand it over to the newspaper for publication and distribution." Liang Yao said.

He does not want Chinese immigrants in California to live in their comfort zone forever, especially those Chinese businessmen who are interested in doing business.

With California's closed geographical conditions, it is impossible to develop a car behind closed doors.He must use the strength of the eastern part of the United States to attract factory owners and businessmen from the eastern part of the country to build factories and do business in California.

At that time, it is necessary to deal with these white people from the east, and if you want to deal with them, do business, and let them accept you, you must first learn their language.

In the same way, if the Chinese in California can form a large and powerful group in the future, those foreigners will naturally learn the language of the Chinese in turn and get close to the Chinese.

This is just the first step. Liang Yao also wants these Chinese elites who got rich first to infiltrate the American political arena and escort their business.

Businessmen in the United States are not involved in politics, and sooner or later they will be fat in the eyes of other capital giants.

They want to eat you justifiably, but it's just a matter of passing a few bills in Congress.

It's just that this step is long and difficult. Even Liang Yao himself has not yet set foot in the political arena of the United States.

But he can start by changing California, step by step, and come down to earth.

"Mr.'s schools in Sacramento and San Francisco have already been built. I wonder when Mr. will find time to cut the ribbon for the school buildings?" Hu Jinchen asked.

"The school has been built, but I can't find teachers who are proficient in Chinese and English. I will cut the ribbon after I find enough teachers." Liang Yao said.

The two schools in Sacramento and San Francisco are language schools established by Liang Yao.

There are nearly [-] Chinese children in California, and Liang Yao wants to select some smart children to enter language schools to learn English, and then send them to middle schools and universities in the east for further studies.

He hopes that the Chinese can have their own engineers, mechanics, bankers, ship navigators, doctors and other high-end talents to serve his future career.

And there is no way to quickly develop these talents. At present, they can only be cultivated through the relatively complete education system in the east.

Now, Liang Yao is facing a very embarrassing problem, that is, he cannot find enough teachers.

The most suitable teachers for language schools are missionaries and nuns who come to China to preach. These people are not low in their own knowledge and are proficient in Sinology.

Yung Wing, Huang Kuan, and Huang Sheng, the earliest Chinese students who studied abroad, completed their language education and basic education in missionary schools in Xiangshan, and their teachers were pastors and nuns who came to China to preach.

After the first Opium War, the quality of the missionaries who came to China has declined compared with the missionaries in Kang, Yongqian, but there are still many well-educated people.

After the Second Opium War, a large number of so-called missionaries who went to China to "preach missionaries" were, to put it bluntly, foreign trash who could not get along in their own country, came to China to become masters, cheated and abducted, and caused trouble everywhere.

Liang Yao has already written letters to missionary schools in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and Shanghai, expressing his willingness to fully subsidize qualified students trained by missionary schools to study in institutions of higher learning in the United States and even the United Kingdom.

He hopes to recruit some missionaries and nuns who are proficient in Sinology to teach in schools in California, but he has not yet received any reply from the church, pastors and nuns.

　Three more!Ask for a follow-up and a ticket!Thank you everyone!I'm running naked again!
