1850 American Gold Tycoon

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 cholera in California has been effectively controlled.

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

"They should be more grateful to you doctors who work 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 great interest.

Wu Yuanhua had been following his father in dealing with foreigners since he was a child. He thought that his English was already very good, but he didn't expect that Liang Yao could speak English even more fluently than him.

After Robinson became the leader of the Boston Company, he gradually gained some leadership qualities. Wu Yuanhua also expected that this foreigner was no ordinary foreigner.

"Without your financial support and effective organization, no matter how hard you work, it will be useless. This is a new manual I revised based on your existing "Cholera Prevention and Control Manual".

There are now only more than 300 cholera patients left in the hospital. We will soon eliminate cholera in California, but we cannot take it lightly and we need to prevent another outbreak of cholera. "Robinson handed over his revised "Cholera Prevention and Control Manual."

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

Liang Yao flipped through the "Cholera Prevention and Control Manual" handed to him by Robinson.

"It's true! This is a great medical miracle! We have done something that big cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Boston have not done. Based on my experience these days, I have used sucrose and salt to prepare a formula with the best ratio. Nutrient solution most easily absorbed by cholera patients.

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

"It's just sugar water and salt water. What's the use of registering a patent? Besides, making the formula of the nutrient solution public is a good thing that will benefit all people." Liang Yao said with a smile.

Publishing the formula of the nutrient solution would bring him far greater benefits than registering a patent.

What he lacks now is prestige, not money.

The naive Robinson didn't know what Liang Yao was thinking at this time. He thought Liang Yao was a man of noble character.

"This is indeed good news for thousands of cholera patients!" Dr. Robinson said with great joy.

"I was a member of the New York Medical Association. I have summarized the experience of preventing cholera in California and am preparing 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. This is an excellent news material." Liang Yao said.

"News material?" Robinson expressed some confusion about this.

“What I mean is that we should not only send the summary of our successful victory over cholera to the Medical Association in New York, but also publish it in newspapers so that more people can see it.

In this way, the effect will be better. Whether ordinary people, doctors or government officials, they can get our experience in successfully preventing and treating cholera more quickly. Dr. Robinson, what do you think? "

"Ah?! Why didn't I think of it? You were more thoughtful!" Dr. Robinson said, stroking his forehead.

“The Citizens’ Committee meeting has not been held for a long time, and I think it is necessary to hold one in the near future.”

Liang Yao changed the topic and mentioned the citizens' committee.

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

The Citizens' Council did not disband after Brannan's death.

Liang Yao knows very well that the Eastern Consortium is a stronger and more terrifying enemy than Brannan. He is not strong enough yet and does not want to fight alone when facing the threat of the Eastern Consortium.

"Many leaders of mining companies have also mentioned this to me. They are also worried that the arrival of the Eastern Consortium will squeeze their living space. It's just that during the front-end time, you were accompanying Mr. Vanderbilt on inspections, and I was treating cholera patients in the hospital. , they 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 diggers had experience working for certain consortiums in the East. The reason they left the East for California was 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 know that those eastern consortiums will not be as generous as Liang Yao when they arrive in California. They only need to pay land rent every month to stay in Liang Yao's private land to mine 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 be established as a state. I think the people who can best represent the interests of the people of California are us gold diggers." Liang Yao said, "Once the Eastern Consortium arrives, it will not just squeeze the gold diggers. The living space is so simple, people like them feel more uncomfortable watching others make money than losing money themselves."

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

"My dear brother, may I ask, what does establishing a state mean?" Wu Yuanhua asked curiously.

"It means establishing local governments. There is no emperor in the United States, and local governments rely on local gentry to organize themselves." 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.

"If there is no emperor, wouldn't it be chaos?" Wu Yuanhua felt very incredible.

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

"Brother, I wonder if America can donate officials?" Wu Yuanhua asked. He was wondering whether the Wu family could find a retreat in America like the Liang family.

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

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

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

"Ahem." Wu Yuanhua habitually lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I want to find a way out. To be honest, brother, since the five families started trading and my father left Hexi, our Wu family and the business days in Guangzhou have been It was a hard time, the court was pressing hard for money.

We merchants can only demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall, but this is not an option. According to this demolition method, both the east wall and the west wall will be demolished sooner or later.

I hope that the wise brother will be able to point out a clear path for the foolish brother because of his friendship with his fellow countrymen. "

"It is possible to donate, but the donation method in the United States is different from the donation method in the Qing Dynasty. However, with the reputation accumulated by Yihe Bank for generations, there is no need to follow these crooked ways." Liang Yao said.

The Wu family has a good reputation in Western business circles, and Yihexing's reputation has been accumulated by the Wu family for generations. Its brand value is immeasurable.

Even the British were jealous of this. The shameless British finally used their brains to create a copycat of Jardine Matheson. The purpose was to confuse the audience with the name and use the influence of Jardine Matheson.

Although there is only one word difference between Jardine Matheson and Jardine Matheson, Jardine Matheson and Jardine Matheson are two completely different things. It is a pity that the Wu family has no so-called property rights awareness and takes advantage of the British.

By the time Yihe Bank became bigger, Yihe Bank had completely declined, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

"What do you mean, brother Xian?"

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