352 Promising Prospects

The Speaker of Oakland City Council is Wang Feibai, who is also a San Francisco City Councilor.

Li Mu met Wang Feibai at the Auckland Branch of the National Rifle Association, and also met Li Hodge, chairman of the Auckland Rifle Association.

Lee Hodge is a mixed-race, with half Chinese origins. His original name is Lee Hodge.

Li Hodge is the second generation of Chinese born in the United States. His father was originally from Songjiang. He came to the United States in the 1930s and later started a family with a German woman. Li Hodge has six siblings.

When Li Hoqi's father was also from Songjiang, Li Mu was very happy: "We should be half a fellow villager, and I should be from Songjiang, but I don't know the specific address of my family."

When a fellow villager saw his fellow villager, he was filled with tears. This sentence had been ruined by the 21st century, but in the 19th century, the relationship between fellow villagers was really similar to that of a brother.

So Lee Hodge was also excited: "I know, my father mentioned it, so I came to Auckland. My father told me that I hope I can go to Songjiang one day, where my roots are there."

Li Hoqi speaks Chinese well. Although he has a strong Songjiang accent, it is not easy for him to speak Chinese as a second generation of Chinese.

"If you have the chance, we have a lot of business dealings with Songjiang now. If you have the chance, you go to find Cole and let him take you there." Li Mu supports such a root-seeking journey. Regardless of whether the descendants of Chinese are mixed-race or not, Li Mu hopes that they can remember that half of the Chinese blood flows in their bodies.

Westerners have always attached great importance to bloodline, especially aristocrats. In order to maintain the so-called "purity of bloodline", marriage of close relatives is not a problem at all. It is already civilized enough without self-production and sales.

The former "human trafficker" Cole has been promoted to the head of Junma Group in the San Francisco area, and is also the head of the entire West Coast. It includes trade with the Far East and Junma Group's factories in the Far East, which are all within the scope of Cole's responsibility, so it is not too easy to arrange a person to go to Songjiang to play. Just take the Corbyn-Rim Shipping Company ship, and the first class is the first class.

Corbyn Reim Shipping is now a big business, and it doesn’t flow to outsiders. Therefore, all the overseas trade of Junma Group is under the responsibility of Corbyn Reim Shipping. Currently, Corbyn Reim Shipping has more than 60 ships of various types. With the start of production of the San Diego Shipping Plant, Corbyn Reim Shipping will further expand its strength.

Li Mu still attaches great importance to the Rifle Association. After discussing with San Francisco Mayor Bert Bieler to establish a Chinese gathering area, the first institution that Li Mu wanted to establish was the Rifle Association.

Like the original intention of the establishment of the National Rifle Association, Li Mu also wanted to improve the martial spirit of Chinese people through the Rifle Association. Not to mention that they can draw a gun when they have a disagreement, at least they must have a certain ability to protect themselves and not be able to resist when they encounter danger.

A militia organization that complements the Rifle Association. Although the United States has established a standing army, militia organizations at all levels are still the most important standing military forces in the United States. Li Mu must ensure that there is a militia organization composed entirely of Chinese people in Oakland, so that it can better protect the interests of Chinese people when encountering emergencies.

"We must pay attention to popularizing the knowledge of using weapons. The Chinese are actually kind to others, but this world is a jungle society. People are not allowed to love each other. It is best to be afraid of each other, so that no one dares to provoke us." Li Mu even said that people are good and are bullied and ridden by horses. As long as there is a chance, they will always instill similar knowledge into the people around them.

"We held a special meeting to discuss this issue, and everyone's attitudes were very consistent. So now almost all adults in Oakland are members of the Rifle Association. They are also militias and have joined the California National Guard. Our next step is to organize women to receive relevant training, at least use weapons. The Junma Group has provided us with great help and supply us with various weapons at the lowest price. Now the weapons in Oakland are very high, and almost every household has weapons. Many families not only have short guns, but also purchase long guns. It won't take long to make Oakland become a large barracks in California." Wang Feibai answered this question, which sounded very good.

In fact, compared with men, women are more likely to encounter violence. The women in Auckland are not traditional women like the Qing Empire who never go out of the door. Many of them will also go out to work in order to subsidize their household income, so there is also a need for "self-defense".

To be honest, this is simply a miracle about the purchasing power of Chinese people.

Unlike the Western whites who spend money, Chinese are very good at savings. If a white man can get a salary of thirty dollars a month, they can save up to five dollars. Even if a Chinese only get twenty-five dollars a month, they can save twenty dollars. This has been verified by Junma Group.

Therefore, the weapons of Junma Weapons Company have very good sales in Auckland, and the sales of various python-type pistols are the best. The next best sales are not the hunting rifle, but the expensive "Springfield" type shotgun. Because the "Springfield" type shotgun uses smokeless guns, the market price is much more expensive than those old-fashioned rifles such as Spencer's seven-shot and Winchester's thirteen-shot, but in Auckland, the price is not a problem, and the sales of the "Springfield" type shotgun are unexpected.

Of course, there is also the reason why the "Springfield" shotgun is from Junma Weapons. After all, it is not just Junma Weapons that have sales points in Auckland. The "Springfield" Arsenal, Colt Factory, and Winchester have sales points in Auckland, but only Junma Weapons that have always had good sales, and other companies are struggling.

This is also a matter of wealth and water not to go out of the country. After all, Junma’s boss is Li Mu. He has to make money by his own family, and he cannot let those "foreign devils" earn money.

Yes, although this is the United States, and although from the perspective of the entire United States, Chinese are ethnic minorities, Chinese in Auckland are still accustomed to using "foreign devils" to refer to white people.

"Yes, training for women is very important. The Auckland Police Department has been established. A team of women's mount police can be established. This is conducive to improving the overall image of Auckland City, and also helping to carry out work. It can also increase women's enthusiasm for participating in military training. It is a rare good thing." Li Mu has ideals. Thinking of the heroic female mount police, Li Mu was fascinated.

Li Mu didn't know when the female policewoman began to appear, but he thought it would not be possible until the 20th century. After all, in the current Western society, women are generally discriminated against. The best place for women to work is in textile factories. Female workers are rarely seen in other places, let alone linking women with violent institutions.

"Police female - it's inconvenient." Wang Feibai was dumbfounded.

"What's inconvenience? The female policeman is more useful. First of all, it is meticulous and cumbersome secretarial work. These tasks are more suitable for women to handle. Secondly, if you encounter a female suspect when you go to the police, do you ask a man to search? What if something goes wrong? Secondly, it's the city image. Think about it, is the policeman appearing on the street looking good or the unshaven man looking good? If done well, this will be a city business card, which will improve the city's elegance and at the same time attract more women to Auckland. Is it not worth it to have these benefits?" Li Mu looked down on Wang Feibai's short-sighted behavior.

It's normal. Although Wang Feibai is a Chinese who is doing well, he still has the limitations of this era after all, so Wang Feibai is definitely not as good as Li Mu in terms of the value of some new things.

"That's it. Let's set up a women's mount police force in the future - oh, and the internal staff." Wang Feibai knew the mistake and corrected it.

In fact, it is enough to impress Wang Feibai if it is just a person who can attract more women to come to Auckland.

There are more than 10,000 Chinese in Auckland, and less than one-tenth of them have already married. Many Chinese are in their thirties and forties, but have not found a partner yet. This is a very dangerous thing. If handled poorly, it will cause serious social problems.

By the way, the most developed industry in Auckland is not the military industry or the construction industry, but a special industry. This is also impossible. In a city, there is less than 20,000 people with more than 10,000 bachelors, so you can't bother with everything.

Li Mu also attached great importance to this issue. In another time and space, the emergence of the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is certainly the fundamental reason for the gradual decline of Chinese people, and the yin and yang disorder is also a very important reason. Li Mu remembers a documentary in the 21st century. At that time, some of the descendants of Chinese Americans from this period appeared on the screen. Without exception, they were all blonde and blue-eyed white people, and they no longer had any Chinese characteristics.

Li Mu must not watch this situation happen again. All the Chinese in this era have truly existed and cannot be erased as a whole for some special reasons.

"This problem needs to be solved by us. I and a powerful figure in the Qing Empire have begun to cooperate. In the future, more women will arrive in the United States. However, if you want to solve the problems of all Chinese people, you cannot be done overnight. You must also work hard to build Auckland better and more attractive, give women more respect, improve women's social status, and make them live more comfortable here. At the same time, you must also find opportunities to promote the city of Auckland more and attract more people to Auckland, so that the problem can be completely solved." Li Mu thought carefully and has completely transformed into a matchmaker.

One of the important reasons for Li Mu's decision to place the factory in the Qing Empire was the promise that Cheng Gengchi represented the governor of the Qing Empire to Li Mu. According to the agreement between Li Mu and Cheng Gengchi, after the factory was put into production, Cheng Gengchi will be responsible for providing Li Mu with "voluntary immigration", with no less than 10,000 Chinese people per month.

Therefore, the factory progress of the Qing Empire was very fast. At most, the factory would be put into production in August, and at most, the Chinese in the United States would be harmonious with yin and yang.

Yes, the prospects are promising.
