Hu Zhiyong gained a reputation in the Virginia State Police, and the mayor of the government rushed over to entertain this wealthy Chinese man. After bargaining over the wine table, the mayor finally agreed to the terms of the third son of the Hu family.
"Five hundred acres of land, four hundred green certificates and visas, an investment of US$50 million will solve the problem of one thousand unemployed workers ending their careers."
Hu Zhiyong never expected that he would get an investment site here, let alone that he would be able to obtain green certificates for hundreds of Chinese Americans at once. After careful consideration, he planned to transfer Li Shicheng to Virginia to take charge of the overall situation.
Charlottesville is a small town with more than 40,000 residents. It is nestled in the foothills of the lush Blue Ridge Mountains, and has the green and clear Rivanna River flowing beside it. The scenery is very beautiful.
Mountain springs, streams, waterfalls, and rivers criss-crossed the mountains, and the mountains were covered with dense forests. Deep in the mountains, there were thousands of hectares of fertile land that no one cared about. The depressed Fire Phoenix girl became happy.
"Master, there is no man's land within more than a hundred kilometers. This land is of great benefit to our training!"
Hu Zhiyong nodded with a smile, pointed to the small town outside the mountain pass and said: "Build a winery and a wood processing plant there, and there will be no problem in solving a thousand unemployed workers!"
"What are you growing on this piece of land? Are you going to let it go uncultivated?" Huo Feng pointed at the fertile land in the canyon, wishing he could turn it into a self-sustaining farm right away.
"Keep it!" Hu Zhiyong looked at the land and said with a frown: "There will never be a shortage of food in Virginia. It is most suitable to turn this place into a pasture!"
"Grapes are planted on the mountainside, and the valleys are turned into pastures. Haha, we are back to the grazing era." Huofeng couldn't help laughing.
During the Great Depression, it was very difficult to have a full meal. Hu Zhiyong began to recruit workers to open roads in the mountains, build bridges, plant grapes, and raise livestock and poultry. In an instant, he employed tens of thousands of people in Virginia.
people.
The mayor came in person and expressed his affirmation of Hu Zhiyong's actions.
A large amount of machinery, equipment and manpower were used to build the 130-mile road. Once the road was opened, citizens from hundreds of miles around returned to Fahui. Hu Zhiyong impressed the first state official with his sincerity and got the opportunity to harvest trees.
of permission to cut.
The spruce trunk is tall and straight, with few knots, slightly soft material, straight and uniform texture, fine structure, easy to process, and has good resonance performance. It can be used for construction, musical instruments (piano, violin), boats, furniture, appliances, boxes
, planed plywood and veneer, as well as wood fiber industrial raw materials and other materials. Hemlock is a kind of evergreen tree, tall, solid material, resistant to water and moisture, and suitable for construction, furniture and other materials.
A woodware factory with more than 300 people was put into operation. Hu Zhiyong first recruited skilled furniture designers as the person in charge. After all this work, Hu Zhiyong said goodbye to Liang Mingjie, who was here to preside over the work, and hurried back to Los Angeles with Huofeng.
After driving home quickly all day and night, Li Hansheng walked in sweating profusely. Bailey gently reminded this capable supervisor: "Don't worry, as long as the third young master comes back, the sky will not fall!"
"What's going on?" Hu Zhiyong asked hurriedly when he saw Bailey's mysterious look.
"Master, someone in Chinatown recently came to our factory to cause trouble, making it impossible for our factory to operate normally."
"Chinatown?" Hu Zhiyong was stunned: "They are all Chinese, what are they causing trouble here?"
"Hi!" Li Hansheng stamped his foot and said, "I want to be a worker here!"
Hu Zhiyong was even more surprised: "Don't we accept Chinese workers?"
"That's it." Li Hansheng began to talk about the origin of the matter.
There are leather shoe factories and pharmaceutical factories in Los Angeles, and the employment requirements are very strict. After examination and acceptance in Chinatown, only four or five people entered these two factories. Because of the high salary and good treatment, many people were jealous, and they were instigated by people with ulterior motives.
Come and start making trouble.
After hearing this, Hu Zhiyong laughed loudly: "It's easy to handle, it's up to me!"
Early the next morning, Hu Zhiyong moved a chair and sat at the factory gate. Seeing more than 20 people coming as usual, he stood up and walked over: "Who wants to come here to work?"
Everyone looked at each other and thought proudly: "It seems that this place has been disturbed and is ready to accept everyone."
"No one is willing? It's strange. Yesterday, I heard that someone wanted to work. How come no one is willing to do it now?" Hu Zhiyong said to himself as he walked back thinking, already feeling happy.
"Really recruiting?" A thirty-year-old strong man asked awkwardly.
"What can you do? What skills and specialties do you have?" Hu Zhiyong stopped and asked with a smile.
"this--"
"This is a factory, not a charity!" Hu Zhiyong's face changed, and he stared at them and warned them seriously: "Isn't internal fighting glorious? You are here to work, not to go thousands of miles away to fight with someone! You have no skills.
You have to rely on strength, don’t fucking think I’m easy to bully!”
"We are all Chinese, can you use foreigners instead of Chinese?" A arrogant young man clapped the iron rod in his hand and protested towards Hu Zhiyong unconvinced.
"Do you know how to make medicine?" Hu Zhiyong pointed to the Americans who came to work: "They are all very good technicians. Is it wrong for me to use them? OK, I will open another pharmaceutical factory. Who has the ability to manage the factory for me?"
?”
Everyone was speechless, and the young man said anxiously to everyone: "Don't listen to him, he is a traitor!"
"Traitor? Hahahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong laughed endlessly, and his inner voice was deafening. Everyone hurriedly backed away, turning around and running away.
"Stop!" Hu Zhiyong walked up to the young man: "You are a patriot, and now I will send you back to China to serve as a soldier! Huofeng, take him down, send him to the freighter and let him return to China!"
No one could have imagined that Hu Zhiyong would do this. When the young man saw that something was going wrong, he ran away. The fire phoenix flew up with a kick, knocked him to the ground and stepped on him.
"Send him away, a black sheep like this is unforgivable!" Hu Zhiyong said with a dark face and decisively waved his hand to escort the young man away.
"I won't leave, I won't leave, and I will never make trouble again!" the young man cried loudly, begging Hu Zhiyong to let him go.
Hu Zhiyong walked over in a hurry, stared at him and smiled evilly: "You are like a dragon. If you go back and work for a few years, you may become a full-time official and honor your ancestors. This is a society governed by the rule of law. How about I send you to the police station and jail?"
"No, no, please spare me this time, and I promise not to make trouble again!" The young man was completely frightened, and kept crying with tears streaming down his face.
"Everyone, I own a large area of mountains, forests and land in Virginia. If you are interested in sex, you can sign up there. To be honest, it makes me sad to see that you are not living well, but you must also understand my difficulties. Now I am recruiting a group of cultivators.
Workers building roads, building houses, and farming, if you are interested, stand forward!"
"How's the salary?" A forty-year-old middle-aged man spoke first and asked further: "Can you bring your family members?"
"I promise that the salary issue will be reasonable. Regarding family members, we can only make arrangements later." Hu Zhiyong looked at everyone: "We are all Chinese. If you really can't make it, come to me and I will take care of you. But what you do is really disgusting. Do you want to
Are you taking China’s Wo Li Dou out of the country?”
Many people lowered their heads in shame, and some quietly stepped back and ran away. Hu Zhiyong said kindly to those who stayed behind: "Go back and tell the folks in Chinatown that it is the last word to learn more skills!"
The people finally dispersed, Huo Feng pushed the young man in front of him: "Let's go, I'll let you go this time, if I come to cause trouble again, leave your legs to me!"
"Really let me go?" Seeing that Hu Zhiyong didn't speak, the young man leaned down and asked in a low voice.
"Let's go!" Hu Zhiyong said angrily: "You still want to stay and let me control your meal?"
The young man did not dare to answer, so he got up from the ground and ran away in a hurry.
"Master, I think a group of security personnel should be sent over!" Seeing that the matter was successfully resolved, Li Hansheng came over and made suggestions.
"Don't be busy yet!" It's not like Hu Zhiyong has never considered this kind of thing. The key is that the green certificate is difficult to apply for. People who come here must be beneficial to production. After the war, he will not leave a group of old people alone.
"Go to Chinatown to recruit workers, and those who are willing to work will be sent to Virginia. Tell them that it is a mountainous area and don't regret it!"
"Yes!" Li Hansheng led the people away. Hu Zhiyong stood up and said to Huo Feng: "Is there any news from home?"
"I heard that preparations are being made to attack Fengtian. According to your instructions, we have dispatched the guard camp and the Blood Wolf Team. Li Chaolan now has more than 20,000 people, so I guess there will be no problem in defeating him." Huofeng briefly reported on Zhuanghe's affairs, and told Li Shicheng that he had already
The news of coming by boat was told to Hu Zhiyong.
"How long will it take for Bailey to give birth?" Hu Zhiyong couldn't bear it anymore and asked softly about Bailey giving birth.
"It will take at least twenty days." Huo Feng sneered, "Are you eager to go back?"
"Alas!" How could Hu Zhiyong not be anxious? There are tens of thousands of people in his family who need to be controlled by him. If something goes wrong, many people will die.
"There is no big war at the moment, so you should wait patiently." Huofeng comforted him, took his hand and said, "Let's go find Boss Zhou to have tea and chat."
Kaba Ridge is 30 miles away from Fengcheng. It is the only way to the western mountains and Xiuyan. There is a Sanyi Temple at the foot of the ridge with a 9-foot high wall. It is very strong. A company of puppet army mounted police is stationed here. Deng Tiemei sent an independent battalion.
They raided Sanyi Temple at night and seized 70 horses, 60 guns and many other trophies. After the People's Self-Defense Forces occupied Sanyi Temple, they set up checkpoints on Kaba Ridge, dug trenches, and built fortifications. This became the basis of the triangle resistance zone.
The east gate formed a separatist trend, and the west of Kabaling became the domain of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. The Japanese and puppet troops in Fengcheng and other places easily did not dare to invade.
The Japanese army finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to mobilize troops from various places to raid the Fengcheng area. Seeing that there were not many Japanese and puppet personnel in Fengtian, Li Chaolan held a combat meeting overnight to prepare for action.
"Commander Li, set the date and I'll notify our friendly forces!" The 24th Route Army of the Northeast Volunteer Army has five detachments. The first detachment captain is Li Chaolan's uncle Zhang Yihou. Guard Battalion and Blood Wolf Team
They are all on standby in Qingyuan, and no one knows the true origin of these troops.
"They have left a telegraph operator, I will handle this matter!" Li Chaolan kept Zhuanghe's soldiers and horses strictly confidential. After letting Zhang Yihou sit down, he said: "Comrades! The date is set for August 28, and all ministries must be on time.
Arrive at the designated location!"
"Yes!" Everyone knew that the battle would begin in two days. Everyone stood up in high spirits and began to go back to mobilize the troops.
