All Heavens Film and Television: I became a god by brushing my proficiency

Chapter 34; You are very smart (1 more, ask for a monthly ticket, recommend a ticket)
On the other side, Wiggins and Jackson left.

The two did not go back to the ship directly, but went to a tavern in the foreign concession together.

The two asked for a private room, ordered a lot of wine, and asked the person in charge of the tavern to find some beautiful women to accompany them.

The two chatted and drank.

What they were talking about was some past events, and the two had a very happy chat. As for the past events that were just invited by Nalan He, they had already selectively forgotten.

After all, they don't take such things to heart.

Soon, the door of the private room was pushed open.

An Asian man in his 30s walked in.

"Boss." As soon as the man came in, he walked up to Jason and called out respectfully.

His name is Zhou Li, a Cantonese. In his early years, he believed that the lighthouse country was full of gold, and then went to the lighthouse country in San Francisco to dig for gold.

After boarding the boat, I realized that I was cheated.

When he arrived in San Francisco, he was marked and made a slave.

Then I began to mine day and night, pay back the boat ticket, and pay for food, clothing and housing.

Anyway, no matter how you pay it back, it’s still not over.

He saw people resisting, but all those who resisted disappeared since then.

Zhou Li is still young, he doesn't want to die, he started to try to change.

He began to learn the words of foreigners, perhaps because of his good language talent, he quickly learned the basic usage of English.

This also allowed him to communicate with foreigners.

Because he is smart and able to come to things, slowly, he has a status.

At the beginning, it was used by foreigners to manage his compatriots. Because he was also Chinese, he knew his compatriots well, so his work was done very well.

In the end, he was appreciated.

Gaining freedom also made him understand that only by being loyal to foreigners can he gain freedom and a better life.

But money and status corrupted him, and he forgot who he really was.

He began to become a lackey of foreigners.

Become a Chinese comprador, come to Foshan to trick those ignorant young adults to go to San Francisco to dig gold.

He didn't think he was doing something wrong.

Because in his opinion, the future path is chosen by himself. If those people were not greedy for money and stupid, how could they be deceived by him.

Even if they were cheated, they deserved it.

And now, he works for Jackson.

Jackson is a businessman who not only sells opium, but also does human trafficking.

That is to deceive the Chinese to go to Jinshan and sell them as piglets to those mine owners.

Young Chinese are young and strong, and one can be sold for about fifty dollars.

Sending a little more at a time is enough for him to make a fortune.

In addition, when he came, he would bring a boatload of opium to sell, and he could earn about 40 to [-] U.S. dollars.

Although it may take three to four months to go back and forth, sometimes it takes longer than half a year.

But one round trip can earn 40 million U.S. dollars. This amount, in this era, is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Of course, it is not easy for merchant ships to travel at sea, after all, there are many pirates at sea.

So the role of Wiggins is important.

With his fleet escort, the safety of the merchant ships under his name is guaranteed.

Although he also has to pay half of the profits.

But it's worth it.

Otherwise, he is a native of the Lighthouse country, and Wiggins is a British major general, so why should he have such a good relationship with him.

Everything is nothing more than profit.

"Well, this is General Wiggins, you know him."

Hearing this, Zhou Li immediately apologized with a smile and said, "General Wiggins."

Wiggins glanced at Zhou Li contemptuously, not even interested in responding to him.

Zhou Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But Jackson didn't care.

"Okay, let me report how many people you have recruited during this time."

Jason didn't like Zhou Li either, because he was from the Qing Dynasty.

But Zhou Li is very useful in doing things, so even if he doesn't like Zhou Li, he still uses Zhou Li.

Because he can help him make money.

"Boss, there are already more than 700 people who are willing to go to Jinshan to dig gold with us." Zhou Li heard Jackson's question.

The embarrassment on his face disappeared, and he immediately piled up a smile again, reporting his 'achievements'.

"And these people are basically young and strong, most of them are young people in their 20s, not many in their 30s."

"It's only seven hundred. It's too little. Keep recruiting. I bought three more boats to accommodate more people."

"Continue to recruit at least 500 people."

"You still have ten days. Within ten days, you must recruit all the people for me."

"Okay, boss." Zhou Li nodded quickly.

"Okay, go down, you have nothing to do here."

Jason waved his hand.

Started to drive Zhou Li away.

As for the benefits of doing business, he didn't mention it at all.

But Zhou Li didn't dare to say anything.

I dare not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Boss, I'll leave first and continue to recruit people." Zhou Li said with a smile.

After laughing with him, he bent down and left the private room.

Wait until Zhou Li leaves.

A smile appeared on Wiggins' face immediately.

He laughed and said, "Jason, you are amazing. How did you train this guy to be so obedient?"

"I also have a few Chinese slaves, they are not as obedient as yours."

Wiggins directly used bars to describe Zhou Li.

Obviously, in his eyes, Zhou Li was not a human being at all.

No different than a dog.

"It's very simple. When the dog is so hungry, throw it a bone. Although it will grin at you, it will eat the bone."

"Eating too many bones, when it sees you, it will bow its head and wag its tail at you, and obey you."

"Hahahaha, it makes sense, Jason, you are very smart, no wonder you can make such a big business."

"My brother has a daughter. Maybe if I have time, I can introduce you to each other."

"General Wiggins, are you serious?"

"Of course, Jason, I appreciate your cleverness and wisdom."

"Originally, I planned to test you for a while longer, but I am very satisfied with your performance."

"So, I'd like to help you with this."

"And I would like to be a family with you." Wiggins said with a smile.

When Ji Xun heard this, his face immediately became overjoyed.

His expression is not pretending, but really very happy, even surprised.

During this period of Great Britain, Queen Victoria was in power, and this was also the most powerful period of Great Britain. It is precisely because of this period that Great Britain has the saying that the sun never sets.

As a British rear admiral, Wisgen's status in the UK is naturally not simple.

Otherwise, he would not be able to sit in his current position at all.

Wiggins' family is a noble in England, and it's not a small noble.

It would be of great benefit to Jackson if he could marry with Wiggins' family.

It is also a great honor.

Because the lighthouse country in this period was somewhat pro-British, its status in the world was far inferior to that of the later lighthouse country, and it was also not as good as the current Great Britain.

After all, the past presidents of the Beacon Country are basically British Beacon Country people.

For example, the first president of the Beacon Country, George Washington, was a native of the Beacon Country.

His family was even an aristocrat in England.

Because of their blood, they are naturally pro-British.

Moreover, the people of the Lighthouse Country during this period also honored the noble conferment of the Queen of England.

If anyone can become a British nobleman, it will definitely be a very, very long-faced thing.

Because becoming an aristocrat means that your class is different, and you are different from ordinary people.

This is the dream of many Beacon Country people.

But it is not easy to be named a nobleman by Queen Victoria.

As far as Jason is concerned, even if he can't immediately become a nobleman, he can become the son-in-law of a nobleman.

With the support of the Wiggins family in the future, his business will grow bigger.

It is not impossible to be named a nobleman.

How could this not surprise him.
