This time, the team supporting the North only brought a few officers to serve as grassroots backbones for the resistance.

There are also some weapons and equipment.

The biggest support was actually 500,000 taels of silver on board.

This is a huge sum of money.

This money will support Li Weili's rich personality, and it will also be the starting capital for the resistance.

At this time, what rich people loved most was not building houses, but building cities.

In the Voyager game, what rewards do players receive when they upgrade to a certain level in the later stages?

It is the power to build a port.

Li Weili has been in San Francisco for nearly a month.

He first registered a company.

The name of this company is West Coast Corporation.

The company's business mainly involves investing in mines, farms and railways.

These industries are all industries with relatively large investment. The biggest investment is actually purchasing.

To open mines, build farms, and build railways, you have to buy land from the government.

And the current California government is so poor that it can't uncover the blame.

The state Legislature is controlled by several large California families.

These people control the best land and mines and other natural resources in California. But what they are most passionate about is tax evasion.

The California government has no way to deal with big families like them.

How much tax can we collect from ordinary people?

Of course, for a government, there is a more profitable business than tax collection.

That is selling land.

It is very difficult to find things underground with current exploration technology.

Therefore, even the wealthy and wealthy are unwilling to invest in unknown lands.

But Warren wanted to buy an inconspicuous piece of coastline from the California government.

There was no need for Warren to lower the price. The California government directly sold Eureka and the surrounding square kilometers of land to Warren at a low price of 150,000 US dollars, and also gave him a preferential installment payment policy.

You must know that a few years later, Tsarist Russia sold the entire Alaska to the United States for only $7.2 million.

In this way, Eureka is theoretically Warren's private property.

The people brought by the fleet began to build port and other infrastructure there.

Everyone was wondering where Warren would find people to develop Eureka.

At a cocktail party, Warren accidentally revealed shocking news.

He was able to get laborers from the East. Of course they were not Chinese laborers.

Because the Chinese labor trade had been completely cut off as Dong Liang took control of the southeastern coast.

Warren said he could get laborers from Fuso and the Peninsula. These people looked like the Chinese and were equally hardworking.

This incident caused quite a sensation in the circle, and many people rushed to curry favor with Warren.

This successful businessman who came back from the Eastern gold rush, this suspected illegitimate son of a large North American family, is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface.

After being in the circle of these people for a long time, Warren sometimes has the illusion of who he really is.

The rich man Warren is still a common boy from Guangzhou, Li Weili.

At this time, Warren would take out a photo of his parents. The parents in the photo looked old and had wrinkles on their faces, but they had kind smiles on their faces.

The old man seemed to be telling him to do things well.

The two old men are both honest and responsible people. They have taught Li Weili to be grateful since he was a child.

Li Weili knew that if he were not Chinese, he might still be the lowest-level clerk.

Now his life can be described as rich and luxurious. He has a BMW and a fancy car when he goes out, and a beautiful white girl throws himself into his arms.

He couldn't even imagine such a life.

His Chinese parents often warned him to be content. However, he is a somewhat ambitious young man, but he hopes to get what he wants through his own efforts instead of using his own thoughts.

He knew very well how powerful the Chinese were. He had also seen the methods of the ANBU.

Li Weili will not do stupid things.

"Warren, congratulations, we have achieved the first step of our goal. Next we need to start our own trading company and shipping company."

"The three-dry-ton mixed passenger and cargo ship built by Huangpu Shipyard will be delivered directly in Guangzhou and will be under the name of our West Coast Company. We must register the ship before the ship arrives, so that we can save money.

A lot of trouble."

At this time, Rong Qingshu walked behind him.

Rong Qingshu, who is in his forties or fifties, has a gentle appearance and is a handsome old man. He has rich experience and is calm and sophisticated in his work.

His external identity is that of the housekeeper Warren hired when he was in the East.

He always followed Warren in a brocade robe and attended various events with him.

But he is very low-key, like a transparent person.

Very few people notice him.

"Uncle Rong, you planned it well. I just ate, drank and had fun, and didn't do anything." Li Weili said modestly.

"You've done a great job, even acting is very tiring." Uncle Rong Qing encouraged him.

Uncle Rongqing is actually the leader of this team, and their official organization is ANBU North America Station.

"Hey, I wonder if Mr. Lin has found the rebels. They couldn't really be wiped out by the Rangers like the newspapers in California said." Li Weili asked with a worried look.

This white young man has snow-white skin, blond hair, slightly yellowed eyebrows and sapphire-like eyes.

Coupled with his current wealthy persona, I don’t know how many girls in California are attracted to him.

Some lonely ladies actually regarded him as the object of their fantasies in their minds in the dead of night.

"No, American newspapers like to brag. This must be the news released by the Brown family to take credit. By the way, if you meet someone from the Brown family, you must be careful. We are going to engage in the shipping industry and labor trade next.

There is competition with his family’s business.”

Rong Qingshu reminded. As for how to deal with the Brown family, Rong Qingshu could only take one step at a time. His reminder was just to protect Li Weili.

For people in the western region, once a conflict arises, anything is likely to happen. They especially like to use guns to resolve conflicts.

"Okay, Uncle Rong, the Brown family really doesn't seem to like us. They rarely come to the receptions we hold. But other families are happy to see us competing with the Brown family. I think we can take advantage of this,

We can make our competition with the Brown family public, so other families might support us later."

Rong Qingshu looked at Li Weili with admiration. After all, this white boy grew up drinking water from China.

When thinking about problems, I am also full of Eastern wisdom.

"Yes, you are right. We cannot please everyone. If we want to gain a foothold here, we must find our own position and know who are our allies and who are our enemies. To be a leader who can shake Brown

Competitors to the family's monopoly on shipping and labor trade are also a good idea." Rong Qingshu nodded.

After the Eureka matter is resolved, the first step of the North American layout is completed.

Rong Qingshu still didn't know that Lin Zhenduan was leading people towards Eureka.

They took a boat from Portland and followed the coastline, arriving in Eureka in only four or five days.

On the boat, Lin Zhenduan discussed the next plan with Chu Yunliang.

If they want to rely on Eureka for development, they cannot stray too far away from Eureka.

The east side of Eureka is all forest and there are no roads.

Chu Yunliang has been here in North America for a long time and knows the geography here very well.

In the area west of the Rocky Mountains, the terrain is rich and diverse. Forests, mountains, canyon plains, deserts, and salt lakes are often intertwined.

Chu Yunliang proposed that their resistance army would establish a base in the mountains and forests to the east.

Then all they have to do is find an uninhabited valley.

There were at most a few Indians in those forests anyway.

At that time, they can use this base as the center and continue to cross the border to the Oregon region in the north.

Wait until the white population in Oregon decreases significantly.

West Coast companies can go there and cleanly take over unowned properties.

I believe that in the Oregon area that was ravaged by Indians, land will be quite cheap.

Many white people will sell their land here at a low price.
