1850 American Gold Tycoon

"The California Industrial Association and the California Coal and Steel Alliance will be established. I will serve as the president of the industrial association and the chairman of the board of directors of the Coal and Steel Alliance. These days, I am discussing this matter with my Mexican friends."

Although there are iron ore mines in Nevada, California can definitely develop its own coal and steel enterprises. But exploration and mining take time. Before that, Liang Yao still needs iron ore provided by the Mexicans.

After California achieves self-sufficiency in coal and iron mines, Liang Yao will still choose to bring Mexicans to join California's coal and steel alliance.

But the purpose at that time was not just for the iron ore in Mexico.

Steel is now a rising industry, and there is a huge demand for steel all over the world. At least for the next century, the entire world steel market will be in short supply.

As long as we can produce steel that meets the quality standards, we won't have to worry about lack of sales.

The same is true for coal. This energy source will dominate the energy market for a long time to come.

With Liang Yao's statement, these state legislators whose families own mines took a very decisive attitude and chose to join the California Coal and Steel Alliance without hesitation. They believed in Liang Yao's vision and judgment.

Liang Yao's personal statement makes the state government's tax reduction policy for non-gold industrial and mining enterprises more attractive.

Liang Yao's willingness to serve as the leader of the California Coal and Steel Alliance gave them great confidence, and they decided to use part of their wealth to test the waters.

Although their level of education is not high, even ordinary Americans are well aware of the huge gap in the American steel market.

An industrial association was formed in the state assembly, much to Fair's dismay.

After the establishment of the Agricultural Association, Fair wanted to follow Chen Baoliang's example and recruit a group of mine owners to form an industrial association to protect the interests of California's industrial and mining workers.

Fair still overestimated himself, even though he was a well-known rich man in California and the Minister of Industry.

But he is far from the appeal and strength to form an industrial association.

Except for some gold mine owners, no one paid any attention to Fell.

Industry goes far beyond gold mining. There is only one person in the entire California who has the ability to unite all the industrial and mining bosses in California.

This person was Liang Yao, the state speaker who spoke eloquently on the podium.

Fair listened carefully to Liang Yao's speech. The California Coal and Steel Alliance will establish a council as a coordinating body and grant the council the power to resolve, approve and even supervise members on major matters.

At the same time, a parliament of the Coal and Steel Alliance was established, and members of the Coal and Steel Alliance were eligible to participate in the meeting.

These all seemed reasonable to Feier, but it was the next one that surprised Feier.

That is, the Coal and Steel Alliance actually has a court.

Stanford also felt something was wrong.

Those old haters didn’t know much about this so-called coal and steel alliance, but Stanford, who was familiar with the law, knew very well that this was more than just a coal and steel alliance.

The Coal and Steel Alliance has a board of directors, a parliament, and a court. It looks like a national organization no matter how you look at it.

I heard that there are also Mexicans joining, which means that if Mexicans in the alliance commit crimes in the future, the courts of the Coal and Steel Alliance will still be able to judge Mexicans?

Seeing the state legislators enthusiastically signing up to join the Coal and Steel Alliance, regardless of whether they were engaged in industry or mining, Stanford couldn't care less about these people. He didn't want to lose this opportunity again.

California is short of judicial talents, and he is one of the few high-level judicial talents in California.

The Alliance's courts use him.

Lawmakers left the statehouse in droves after it concluded.

"The California Legislature is the most efficient Legislature I have ever seen. It would be unimaginable for state Legislatures in other states to pass so many bills in one day." Gervin said with emotion.

Ge Wen is a political elite who has received an elite education. He knows that what Liang Yao did in California violates the spirit of the American Constitution.

But he is a vested interest in California, and there is no need to jump out and oppose Liang Yao. Opposing Liang Yao means being in trouble with gold. Ge Wen's private wealth mainly comes from the United Gold Mining Company jointly established by him, Liang Yao and Fremont, with each of the three holding one-third of the shares.

Furthermore, with Liang Yao’s power and influence in California, standing up to oppose Liang Yao will not bring any good results.

Ge Wen even felt that the strategy implemented by Liang Yao in California was very suitable for California's state conditions.

As a new state with a mainly immigrant population, and with a low-quality population, the approach of the old eastern states obviously won’t work in California.

Moreover, the population structure of California is very complex, with immigrants from all countries present. This would be a headache for the local rulers in any state.

There must be a strong political figure to maintain California's stability and keep California's economy on track.

"Efficiency is above all else. I heard that the gold in the mining areas of United Gold Mining Company has been exhausted. Give up the old mining areas and head to the Nevada area or the northern mountains. These days, many gold mining companies have discovered new gold sources in these places. ." Liang Yao threw the briefcase in his hand to Kony who was following behind.

"We have discovered many gold producing areas, but none of them are rich ore areas." Ge Wen said with some regret, "But fortunately, I have also saved a lot of gold this year, and I can also do other industries with you.

After my estate is built, I want to bring my family to California. "

Ge Wen came back from Washington this time and bought a piece of land next to Tingtao Garden from Liang Yao. He is currently undertaking extensive construction work to build his private estate and has made plans to settle in California for a long time.

"Not all gold mining areas can be as wealthy as the gold mining area in Sacramento." Liang Yao said.

“This session of the state Legislature has been successfully concluded, and the development of California has entered into a formal state.

I think it’s time for me to go east to personally thank your teacher, the Minister of Finance, Mr. Corwin. He helped California a lot this time and won a lot of votes for us in Congress. "

"Your Excellency Corwin is also particularly interested in you. I think he is also very happy to see you." Ge Wen said happily.

"There are also those Ohio steel entrepreneurs recommended to us by Mr. Corwin. I want to visit them in person in Ohio." Liang Yao said.

"I'll go with you and return to Ohio to pick up my family." Gervin said, "My estate needs some cement, and you are the only one in California who has these things."

"Yes, there are some, but the output of my cement plant is not high. You know, there is a shortage of cement in California right now. Since we are friends, I can give you 3,000 pounds (1,360kg) of cement as a priority."

Liang Yao told the truth.

His cement plant now has steam crushers, steam pulverizers, and steam mills, and many processes can be completed by machines.

However, the two processes of mixing lime powder with iron and sand, and finally mixing clinker and gypsum, especially the mixing of lime powder with iron and sand, require precise manual proportioning.

There are not many skilled workers in cement plants, which limits cement production.

With the technology of this era, cement production cannot be automated.

"Maybe we can make cement together."

Ge Wen touched his chin and said.
