New Ming Empire mixed in America

If there is no room for détente between California and Los Angeles, then Stanford can continue to promote the war against those Easterners.

Let the guy who used despicable means cause the Stanford family to suffer heavy losses pay the price.

In the last currency war, several banks controlled by the Stanford family were severely damaged, and now they have almost lost the right to mint coins.

Of course, he can also issue currency, but whether Californians will accept it or not is another matter.

Nowadays, what is popular in California are the exquisite banknotes with anti-counterfeiting marks, as well as the equally exquisite aluminum crown coins and stainless steel new crown coins.

Not only can no one copy these currencies, they also retain their value very well.

Even if you take these two currencies to Europe, you can spend them at a price higher than their own value.

Moreover, Stanford's target against the Xinming Empire was not just because of the bank's losses.

More importantly, the Central Pacific Railroad Company he planned to build was aborted due to a public bidding move by the New Ming Dynasty California Railroad Freight Company.

Old and new grudges, as well as Li Mingqi's underground reward for the Stanford family, all became the motivation for his purchase plan at this time.

He must make those Easterners pay the price!

So the meeting to buy Los Angeles lasted from morning to afternoon, with an hour's break for lunch.

But after talking for almost a whole day, the price in Los Angeles has not dropped at all.

Stanford even added one more thing, that is, asking Li Mingqi to come to Sacramento to sign the agreement in person.

"If you are so insincere, I think we don't need to talk anymore."

After taking a few deep breaths, Barton slowly regained his composure, looked at Stanford and said:

"If members of the Legislature can act based on their personal preferences, I think the California Legislature can be dissolved."

"Los Angeles is now actually in the hands of His Majesty Li Mingqi. If you want a war, I think you will get the result you want!"

Standing up, Barton patted Cui Jianguo on the shoulder, then pushed the chair away and walked out of the conference room.

"Mr. Stanford, will we completely offend the Orientals in Los Angeles by doing this?"

A congressman close to Stanford asked him a question in a low voice. Although the voice was not loud, it seemed extremely abrupt in the conference room at this time.

It was only then that the remaining members of the conference room realized what had happened.

"Mr. Stanford, I think you should give us an explanation."

"We believed you when you said there was a way to make the Orientals pay more, but the current situation is the price you said?"

Isaac Quinn, then the lieutenant governor, glared at Stanford.

What happened now has exceeded their expectations, which is different from what Stanford promised.

This matter was left entirely to Stanford to take the lead, and he was the one who pushed it.

Because among all the congressmen, only Leland Stanford in front of him is a real big capitalist.

In addition, Stanford came to the door several times and swore on family honor that he would treat the purchase plan fairly, so Lieutenant Governor Isaac was convinced.

In order not to interfere with Leland Stanford's performance, he even moved the meeting forward to prevent other congressmen from interfering with the outcome of the negotiations.

But now it seems that he should...perhaps...probably be taken advantage of as a fool.

At this time, his eyes gradually became cold, and he stared at Stanford without saying a word, waiting for the other party to give him an explanation.

"This is my explanation to you, I just want those Orientals to pay the price!"

"Don't forget, you are a Republican, not those damn Democrats! You have to consider the interests of the North and not speak for those red necks!"

Stanford's voice was still so calm and even a little unscrupulous.

Don’t the interests of the North represent the interests of the factory owners?

Although he thought this, Isaac Quinn did not answer the question because he knew that whatever he said was useless now.

He was used by the other party, and he was still a disposable item that was thrown away after use.

What awaits him in the future is probably the crazy revenge of the factory owners who were kept in the dark by him, and these bankers will definitely not help.

"You will regret it, I swear!"

After taking a deep breath, Isaac Quinn turned around and walked out of the conference room after saying a harsh word.

"You will regret it, I swear...haha..."

Stanford repeated the lieutenant governor's threat in a mocking tone.

On the other side, Isaac Quinn quickly caught up with Patton and Cui Jianguo as he walked out of the conference room.

There was no gloominess on his face just now in the conference room, but a smile on his face.

"Two diplomats, please wait a moment..."

Barton, who originally didn't want to pay attention to Isaac, slowed down when he heard this. This was not because of the friendly tone of the other party, but because of the word "diplomat" that the other party said.

Isaac used this title, which meant that the other party recognized the legitimacy of the Xinming Empire.

Although Li Mingqi did not need this recognition, nor did the Xinming Empire. But Patton, who was born in England, was extremely useful to this recognition.

As for the Duke of Wei, Cui Jianguo...he just came to expand his knowledge.

Li Mingqi did not want to give up on the founding hero of this empire, and now he even wanted to guide him to become a diplomat.

So this time when Patton was asked to come to discuss the purchase of Los Angeles, he was asked to come with him, and for this purpose he was paired with a translator.

Just as Isaac Quinn and Barton were chatting, in a corner of the street, two gang members with scorpion tattoos on their hands were staring at them.

"Shall we take action now? The Stanford family has promised to take action as soon as possible!" A gang member asked his companions in a low voice.

"No, at least we have to wait until the deputy governor leaves before we can take action. Otherwise, we will have no place in California."

His companion whispered back, and then the two of them continued to stare in silence.

But it didn't last long, and the gang member who spoke first spoke again: "I heard that those Easterners are not easy to deal with. Thousands of people from the Ninth Infantry Regiment died in Los Angeles."

His companion frowned, and then replied suicidally: "Can you be quiet for a while? No matter how powerful those Easterners are, can they still come to Sacramento to cause trouble for us?"

After reprimanding his companions, the small corner became quiet again.

"I heard..." (asking in a low voice)

"Fake, can you shut up? I really don't know why you let me come out to work with you!" (crazy reply)

"You should have lowered your voice. It's better now. Those Orientals have discovered us!" (Aggrieved Baba)

"Fuck Fuck!" (frustrated)

Barton looked at the two strong men fighting each other in the corner with strange eyes.

Then he turned to Lieutenant Governor Isaac, who had just boasted about how harmonious Sacramento was, and said, "The folk customs here are really simple..."

However, this episode did not interrupt the interest of several people. At Isaac's strong invitation, they took a carriage to Isaac's luxurious manor in the suburbs to be guests.
