Chapter 452： : Mayor of Los Angeles

Durant was silent for a while, saying, "Hall, I'm going to fight for the state legislature in the second half of this year."

This turning point is a bit big. How to talk about the land sales and the construction of the wharf? I immediately moved to running for the state legislature. Jiang Hao didn't interrupt, he knew that Durant must have the following.

"Los Angeles has been developing very well recently. Mr. Governor wrote to me and expressed my affirmation of my work. I also have some friends myself, but you know, running for state legislators requires a lot of public relations, publicity, and hospitality. My Not much income ... "

Durant said here to look at Jiang Hao.

understood.

This is to find your own fate. No, this is called seeking political support for election funds.

Jiang Hao's relationship with the old man of Durant is not bad. If he takes office, Jiang Hao will have the opportunity to become the mayor of Los Angeles, and the old man to become a state councilor is also good for Jiang Hao, and he is also a political ally.

"One hundred thousand dollars, and I can also contact the Jonathan state legislator, do you think this is OK?" Jiang Hao said.

The old Durant smiled.

Jiang Hao thought to myself that I would start working for myself.

The current situation in the western United States is very different from later generations. The mayors of later generations are mostly elected. However, the actual situation in the west today does not allow elections to be too troublesome and waste resources. If you invest all your energy in getting elections, then Governments are likely to be pulled down, so many are now assigned.

Only officials at the level of governor, member of parliament, secretary of state, and president are called true senior officials, and very formal elections are required.

...

Time is like a tortoise crawling slowly, and people are like ants on the shell of a tortoise, busy with their own affairs.

Half a month later, the city of Los Angeles again convened a parliamentary meeting to discuss the construction of the Santa Monica Pier. Durant did a lot of work before and proposed to pass by majority.

Anyway, there are so many debts owed, and people are looking away, but not their own money. The dock is repaired, which is good for everyone. Some people are willing to take the money, why not.

This project is still in the hands of Jiang Hao, who will fund it and who will be responsible? The agreement signed by Jiang Hao and the Los Angeles City Government is still a three-year repayment period, and the terminal account will be taken before the deadline.

No one is stupid, knowing that the government is definitely not up yet, but this has nothing to do with them. Having more convenient transportation is also good for them. At least, the food and cattle and horses in their plantations and ranches can be transported more conveniently Isn't it?

Sea transportation is the true mode of transportation, which is much more powerful than land transportation.

As for the land, people don't matter any more. The place where Jiang Hao bought didn't enter the city planning map, it is a wilderness. In this way, all the land and beaches from Long Beach to St. Clement's land belong to Jiang Hao. Reached 700,000 acres.

Do n’t be surprised. It ’s 1880. Even in modern times, Jiang Hao did n’t have many of these lands. There is an old guy named John in the United States who has 2.2 million acres of land, almost 9,000 square kilometers.

Old John is actually nothing. The most powerful one is the Pacific Railroad Company. That guy built a 4,500 km railway and got 5.3 billion acres of land from the US government, which is more than the entire area of ​​Texas. Big, you know, Texas is the second largest state in the United States, after Alaska.

Therefore, in this country where capital is king, Jiang Hao got land in a county, it's really not surprising, it's too fucking.

It's July. Mayor Durant found Jiang Hao. "Jon, I'm going to Sacramento. Would you like to accompany me?"

Jiang Hao knew that Durant was going to run a relationship and came to tell him that one of these was for money, and the other was to hope that he would follow him to meet Jonathan.

Jiang Hao said: "Okay, I happen to have something to go to Sacramento. Let me go with Mr. Mayor. By the mayor, I have prepared the money, and I will give it to you before I leave."

Durant is very pleased, "Jon, it will be good for you to meet with the governor.

...

Jiang Hao's trip to Sacramento is not just a running officer. He also has an important thing to do, which is to register a patent.

New patent.

During this time, Jiang Hao made several more inventions. Alas, the incident of the traverser cannot be called plagiarism.

One is smokeless huǒyào, the other is modern step qiāngzǐdàn, and there are two steps qiāng.

The smokeless huǒyào was invented only in 1889. Now the qiāng medicine used, qiāng has been playing for a long time, a lot of soot will appear and attach to the qiāng tube, so in western movies, many qiāng tubes will be disassembled and brushed with a brush Shot of the tube.

When smoke-free huǒyào was invented, it swept the world immediately. This is a good thing. With smoke-free huǒyào, the real modern qiāng machine will come into being, so Jiang Hao designed several bullets. As for step qiāng, Jiang Hao plagiarism is Enfield step qiāng and another classic step qiāng98K, if you want to copy, you must copy the classic.

What, you said the Mauser brothers didn't do it, they really couldn't help it, hahaha.

After arranging things at home, Jiang Hao brought Bill, together with Mayor Durant and his two entourages, and took a train to Sacramento.

On the train, Jiang Hao called Bill to no one and told him, "Bill, I actually thought about not bringing you here before you came. Do you know why?"

Bill shrugged. "I know it would be very troublesome if Mrs. Swift and I were to know about Mrs. Swift."

Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly. "It's more than a trouble, it's a disaster. At that time, I don't know what to do."

"Head, I'll pay attention." Bill said.

Jiang Hao patted Bill's shoulder. "Just know what you have. If something really happens, we may only kill that old guy. This will have a great impact on our future development and kill a councilor. I am afraid the federal government will not give up. "

Bill nodded.

Bill is an adult. Needless to say, Jiang Hao has so far. As for how to do it, I believe that Bill will consider it.

Of course, if Bill really identified that Mrs. Taylor and killed the old Jonathan Jiang Hao, it wouldn't matter if he lost one political ally and spent money to develop new ones.

The train finally arrived in Sacramento. Jiang Hao and Durant separated. Durant got Jiang Hao's political contribution and went to run a relationship. Jiang Hao led Bill to visit Swift. Beautiful Mrs. Taylor.

After eating, chatting, and discussing things, Jonathan was a little surprised and happy when he knew that Jiang Hao became the deputy mayor. Later, Jiang Hao talked about Durant, and then said his own thing. Mayor of Los Angeles. "

Jonathan smiled. "I'm afraid you need to pay a certain benefit. The governor is from a big family. Their family's industry spreads throughout the east. He and I have mentioned Hall cigarettes before."

Is n’t it money? Jiang Hao smiled and said, "What do you think of a state's sales rights, the place is whatever you want."

"I think two or three are more assured," Jonathan said.

"Then three, yes. California's sales are very good and stable. Do you intend to increase the sales rights of a state?" Jiang Hao asked Dr. Jonathan.

Jonathan laughed more happily, and felt that Jiang Hao was really a man.

Jiang Hao's philosophy is that money is used, and everyone who has money can earn it. The concession that they can make is not only not to make money, but also to exchange what they need. Why not?

After signing the contract, Mrs. Taylor was naturally responsible. After signing the agreement, Mrs. Taylor and Jiang Hao couldn't wait to go to another room to talk to Bill. The two got together in a short time.

Jiang Hao shook his head, went out with the patent application materials, and went to the Patent Office for registration. This time he directly found the director. The last time Mr. Jonathan brought Jiang Hao himself, the director also knew him and was very enthusiastic. He assigned his men to register immediately. After Jiang Hao had a cup of coffee in the office of the director, the patent matter was done.

Of course, Jiang Hao did not come empty-handed, and presented a gold lighter produced by Hall as a gift. His relationship was called relationship, and he might use it later.

The patent director was naturally happy to receive the gift.

Jiang Hao returned to the hotel, and Bill came to his room to find Jiang Hao. "Head, I said to Mrs. Taylor. From now on, we will never do this kind of thing in Sacramento, and will not cause you any trouble. Opportunity, we will meet elsewhere to be the most hidden. "

What can Jiang Hao say? Www.novelhall.com ~ Just patted Bill's shoulder.

Three days later, Jiang Hao followed Jonathan to a manor on the outskirts of the city. The manor has a taste of European castle. At first glance, it was carefully built. This is the home of Governor Arnold of California.

Eating and chatting, Governor Arnold is very tall and strong, and also very talkative. He talked about the development of Los Angeles. It seems that Durant has already come. Mr. Governor gave a great affirmation of Jiang Hao's investment and construction in Los Angeles. .

During the period, there was no mention of the right to sell cigarettes. At the Governor's Manor, Jiang Hao and Jonathan were sitting in the same car. Jonathan said: "The governor has agreed. During this time Durant will focus on running for the state legislature in Sacramento. He It will directly order you to be appointed Acting Mayor, and be fully responsible for all Los Angeles affairs. Two months later, the election will end and you will be appointed Mayor of Los Angeles. "

Jiang Hao asked, "What if Durant failed?"

Jonathan smiled, "Fail, hehe, then he can only dimly end, the mayor of Los Angeles will definitely not give him again, this is the commitment of Governor Arnold."

Jiang Hao can only bless the old Durant.
