1850 American Gold Baron
Chapter 10: Apology
Robinson was a good and conscientious doctor. He would come on time every day to treat Deng Wenyao and pay attention to Deng Wenyao's injury.
Liang Yao could tell that Dr. Robinson was not just for show, he was very responsible for every patient.
"Hello, Dr. Robinson, would you like some tea?"
Deng Ying held a cup of freshly brewed hot tea and said hello to Robinson in the simple English she had just learned.
Dr. Robinson responded with a warm smile, said thank you to Deng Ying, said that their tea was delicious, and tentatively asked if he could sell him some tea leaves.
Deng Ying had just learned English for a few days, but she didn't understand what Dr. Robinson said. She froze on the spot, tugging at her sleeves, and was at a loss.
"Get Dr. Robinson two bags of good tea."
Liang Yao said to Deng Ying. After hearing this, Deng Ying quickly brought two better tea bricks like a rabbit.
"Mr. Deng's injuries are almost healed." Robinson said while packing the medicine box. "The gangsters nearby have become more and more rampant in the past few days. In just one week, eighteen people died at the hands of these gangsters."
"These gangsters are really hateful, and we should strengthen our vigilance." Liang Yao fully agreed with this.
"This is one thing, but our strength is too weak. Not to mention ordinary gangsters, the group of deserters alone has more than forty people, or even more. They are not ordinary gangsters, they are professional soldiers who have participated in the war.
Sacramento is the largest gold mining area nearby, and I think they will focus on it soon." Dr. Robinson had something to say.
"Dr. Robinson, you can say what you want, no need to beat around the bush, I'm all ears." Liang Yao heard something in Robinson's words.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Chief Flagg. Can you please visit Chief Flagg and ask the California Mounted Police to station in Sacramento to maintain law and order?" Dr. Robinson expressed his thoughts.
He has sent gold to Flagg several times, can the relationship be bad?
Liang Yao smiled and said, "Dr. Robinson and Sheriff Flagg also have a very good relationship."
Robinson smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Chief Flagg only respects my medical skills, not me as a person. He is a person who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early. Our Boston company has not done anything these days."
How much gold will be collected, and even the livelihood of our team, has become a big problem."
Robinson watched with great envy as several Deng brothers took out the wet felt collection pads from the bottom of the washing tank and collected the fine gold particles from the collection pads very easily.
He had to admit that the entire Boston Company team had underestimated these wise Easterners. They had successfully mined a large amount of gold, and many members of the Boston Company still pinned their hopes on the so-called high-tech washing machine.
On the gold machine.
Robinson has realized that the so-called high-tech gold laundering machine may be just a lie. The salesperson exaggerated its role, and the engineers who designed it were either trying to defraud money or knew nothing about gold mining.
Seeing that Liang Yao was silent, Robinson did not go any further on this issue. Liang Yao was just a gold digger like them and had no obligation to provide security services for Sacramento.
"Can I have our engineers come over and teach you how to make and use this tool?" Robinson asked, pointing to their washing tank.
He realized that if they wanted to pan for gold, they had to give up the high-tech gold laundering machine and learn gold panning skills from these smart Orientals.
Perhaps the rumors about the ignorance and barbarism of that distant eastern country are just a lie. The hypocritical British like to fabricate lies that are beneficial to them to show off the legitimacy of their aggressive behavior.
The same is true for the United States. In the recent US-Mexican War, Robinson also believed that the United States was an unjust party.
"Of course. In this case, I won't owe you any favors. I can give the drawings to your engineers, but the Boston Company must apologize to me and my compatriots and admit that your gold mining technology is not as good as ours."
News about gold mining technology spreads very fast in the gold mining area, and the ore washing tank is not a high-tech thing. Liang Yao can't hide it even if he wants to, so he might as well be a favor and give it to Robinson. Liang Yao is already preparing to upgrade him
The gold mining technology is not intended to be gold mining with low-threshold technology such as washing the ore tank.
"I apologize to you for the disrespectful actions and reckless language of the members of the Boston Company." Dr. Robinson apologized to Liang Yao very sincerely.
Liang Yao shook his head: "As far as I know, it was not Mr. Robinson who made the rude remarks that day. Mr. Robinson does not have to pay for the wrong words and deeds of others."
"I understand, please wait a moment."
Robinson said goodbye to Liang Yao first, and soon Captain Weber of the Boston Company came to Liang Yao's camp with their engineers and several core members.
Their faces no longer had the previous contempt and arrogance, and they had to admit that these Easterners were far better at gold mining than they were.
"I would like to apologize to you on behalf of Boston Company, Mr. Liang."
The middle-aged Weber treated Liang Yao with the same respect as he had faced his superiors in the army, which made Weber feel very uncomfortable. The young boy in front of him looked not even as old as his child.
However, in order for the Boston Company to find more gold, Weber bowed his head to Liang Yao and admitted his mistake.
"You are not apologizing to me, sir, but you are apologizing to me and my compatriots." Liang Yao corrected him very seriously.
Weber had no choice but to take the members of the Boston company to apologize to Liang Yao and the others, and his tone became more sincere.
Several cousins of Deng Yan and Liang Yao had just learned English for a few days. They knew that the foreigner's "sorry" meant sorry.
"This is the drawing of the washing tank, but I will charge you a royalty fee for 1,000 ounces of gold."
Berry from the Boston Company couldn't wait to take away the drawings from Liang Yao's hand, but Liang Yao pulled the drawings back.
"We don't have 1,000 ounces of gold, can it be cheaper?" Weber hesitated and pleaded.
Liang Yao does not intend to make any concessions on the price: "As long as there is a washing tank, with the manpower of your team, it will only take a few days to obtain 1,000 ounces of gold."
"Okay, I will give you 350 ounces of gold first. This is all we have. For the remaining gold, I will sign a contract with you on behalf of the Boston Company and pay you immediately after I find the remaining 650 ounces of gold."
Weber said.
Liang Yao agreed to Weber's proposal, and Weber asked for 350 ounces of gold, and then signed a contract with Liang Yao.
The engineer of the Boston Company couldn't help but beat his chest after getting the drawings. He always thought that these Oriental gold mining tools must have hidden secrets, but he didn't expect that they were such simple things.
Any carpenter can make this kind of thing, and they actually paid 1,000 ounces of gold for it!
After the people from the Boston company left, Liang Yao began to think about expanding his team.
A small team of several people could no longer give him a sense of security. Robinson was right. Perhaps asking Flag to send some mounted police to Sacramento could improve the security situation here. At least improve the security situation around his camp.
Of course, getting those mounted police officers to come to Sacramento requires gold, but the money is worth spending. If unfortunately they are robbed by those gangsters, losing the gold is a small matter, but losing a life is a big deal.
