Chapter 443 People Are Wealth

In the era of the pioneering west, the sheriff played a pivotal role in a place. The more correct title should be called the sheriff. Unlike the modern police, the sheriff has the right to arrest people and also has the right to judge. In western films, Many bad characters are sheriffs, because they have great power and can dispose of people at will.

Now Jiang Hao is the sheriff of Los Angeles, and he already has a certain strength to protect his own property.

Hall Farm is very busy now. Hundreds of farmers are plowing the land, clearing weeds, deep plowing and replanting. The neat rows of fields look pleasing to the eye.

Some of these lands are planted with corn and wheat, mainly to ensure rations, and the remaining large amount of land is all planted with tobacco and marijuana. The land in the south of Los Angeles is very fertile, and the Los Angeles River provides sufficient water sources. I believe the growth should be good.

Hall Tobacco Company officially started construction, and now there are more than 200 workers. This time, Bill and the others recruited some mechanics and skilled tobacco workers to lead everyone in the production. Now they are still using traditional machinery, and the speed is not fast. Jiang Hao will let them practice first. up.

At this moment, Jiang Hao is leading several mechanical masters to manufacture a new cigarette maker. He has the ability to never forget. He has all the mechanical drawings of the new cigarette maker assembly line in his mind. He's overseeing the work.

As for the filter tip, that thing is not complicated. It only took Jiang Hao a few days to make the finished product. When manufacturing the cigarette machine assembly line, he also took it into consideration. At that time, it can be molded into one piece and directly make filter cigarettes.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

A month later, the new machine was finally built, and the assembly line was moved into the new factory. Shredded tobacco, cigarette paper, and filters were put in, and soon finished cigarettes were sprayed out one by one. People were stunned to see the machine constantly spraying out cigarettes.

"My God, that's too fast."

"This is absolutely a miracle. I want to say that there is absolutely no cigarette rolling machine faster than ours in this world."

"Oh, even the filter is molded in one go, it's just wonderful."

Mechanics and cigarette workers let out a gasp of wonder.

Jiang Hao is also very similar to Bill, Pete and others. This is the result of their hard work. The faster production means that they will earn more money.

"Test how much you can produce in an hour." Jiang Hao said.

After an hour passed, the statistical results came out, and the statistician reported pleasantly: "Boss, 36,000 filter cigarettes can be produced in one hour, that is to say, 1,800 packs, 180 cigarettes, and more than half a carton can be produced in one hour."

Jiang Hao shook his head, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Based on 12 hours of production a day, a production line can only produce 8 boxes of cigarettes a day, which is still too slow."

You know, those cigarette rolling machines of later generations can produce tens of thousands of cigarettes in a minute, which is really incomparable.

Someone said in amazement, "Boss, it's already very fast, 8 boxes of cigarettes, but we have increased the speed by 10 times from the original 10-day production line, far exceeding all cigarette factories in the United States and even the world."

Jiang Hao listened, and smiled, "That's right, you can't be too eager, the current technology is just like this, you don't want to run fast, just surpassing your opponent is enough."

Then Jiang Hao ordered the mechanics to continue building the cigarette production line, at least 10 production lines will be produced.

But in this way, there will be a lot of things going on. The shredded tobacco they bought before may not last long. They need to buy a lot of raw materials, build new factories, and recruit more workers. These things need to be resolved.

There is one more important thing, to register a patent.

There is no registration office in Los Angeles, and he wants to rush to Sacramento, the capital of California, to register his two inventions, a new cigarette machine and filter technology, which are his magic weapons for monopolizing the tobacco industry.

OK, let's solve it once and for all, Jiang Hao decided to lead the team to Sacramento himself.

Fortunately, he has a group of brothers. These guys seem to be a bunch of rough guys, but they have all gone through rigorous experience in the Great West. None of them are fools. Even Roy, who is so funny, does things well. .

The Hall farm was handed over to Jenny, who was the hostess, and assigned him a few stewards, enough to manage the farm and plant things.

The cigarette factory was handed over to Chris Adams. He is a shrewd guy with enough IQ to manage the cigarette factory well. Besides, there are also the manufacturing workshop supervisor and production workshop supervisor promoted by Jiang Hao, so it is not a big problem.

Let the strong man Wayne form the manor guard team. This guy used to be a soldier. Don't look at the image of a rough guy, but he is actually very smart. In the future, Jiang Hao's career will grow bigger and bigger, and he needs stronger armed forces. from now on.

Moreover, Jiang Hao is also planning to recruit a group of Chinese in the guard team to lay a good foundation so that the whites under him will not have any sense of superiority and discrimination. The first batch of 20 people will be half white and half Chinese. Jiang Hao asked Wayne Strict selection and strict management.

At the public security station, Jiang Hao handed it over to Pete. Pete is the second-best marksman among them. Leave it to Pete, plus the original 5 people, the strength is enough.

Jiang Hao has a lot of things to do when he goes out this trip, and he cannot be short of manpower, so he plans to bring five brothers Bill, Cobain, Vaughn, John, and Roy, plus 6 stewards, I believe it should be able to Cope with it.

woo woo woo~~~

Pants pants pants pants~ 呲~

The train stopped at San Francisco Station, Jiang Hao and others got off the train, and the truckloads of goods were moved down. Jiang Hao brought 120 boxes of cigarettes produced this time, and decided to try selling them.

Checking into the hotel, Jiang Hao said to everyone in the room: "I still have to go to Sacramento, and the registration of the patent cannot be delayed. If it is leaked or late, the loss will be immeasurable. Cobain, Vaughn, John, Roy, you four To stay, the task is to sell cigarettes, purchase cigarette raw materials, purchase a batch of new steam engines and new mechanical parts, and more importantly, recruit more workers, this time no less than 500 people.”

"The six executives are all left to you. I will take Bill to Sacramento by train tomorrow."

"Good head." Several people responded.

The task was difficult, but several people did not back down, and all agreed. Jiang Hao was also very fortunate that he had such a group of trustworthy subordinates. People are wealth. If he were to work hard alone, it would be very, very difficult.

After only one night's rest, Jiang Hao took Bill and 10 boxes of cigarettes and set off for Sacramento.

The train is running, and the mountains and forests on both sides are clearly visible, just like a most beautiful landscape painting. If it is a high-speed train in the future, you will not be able to see such a scene, because your eyes can't keep up with the speed.

When they came to Sacramento, after the two checked into the hotel, Jiang Hao took Bill to the Patent Office to register and hand in the materials, but was told that he needed to queue up for review.

"How long will it take?" Jiang Hao asked.

The staff said arrogantly: "Who knows, there are still a lot of people queuing up ahead, and the gentlemen in charge of review are very busy. It's normal to wait for two or three months. I've seen some wait for one or two years, maybe You can entrust lawyers to help them register, I have several lawyers in hand, do you need me to provide their addresses?"

Hook to eat, very normal routine.

When Jiang Hao returned to the hotel, he frowned and thought about the matter. He could find a lawyer, but the patent in his hand was a utility patent. If those lawyers used tricks to usurp the patent, then even if he killed that guy, it would not help.

This society is a society where individuals cannibalize people. Jiang Hao never imagined how beautiful he was.

Bill saw Jiang Hao worried, and said, "Boss, why don't we find some acquaintances."

"In Sacramento, we don't know any acquaintances." Jiang Hao said.

Bill hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, do you still remember the Mrs. Taylor I met on the train? His husband is a California state congressman. If you can find Mrs. Taylor, maybe you can ask her husband for help. "

Hey, it's a way.

Jiang Hao suddenly became happy, "Yes, I remember that you saved that Mrs. Taylor, and you two had a good talk on the train. Bill, I will leave this matter to you. Contact that Mrs. Taylor. .”

"Okay, I'll go find someone right now," Bill said.

Bill went out of the hotel, found a carriage, and asked, "Do you know a Sacramento state senator named Swift, Jonathan Swift?"
