Chapter 018 San Francisco

"Mr. Taylor, are you willing to go to China to start your new job?"

A rhetorical question silenced Taylor.

Isn't the reason why I came here just because of my passion for that position and opportunity?

But why is this young man so convinced that he will definitely go to China?

Even before he expressed his willingness, he actually asked himself if he wanted to go to China.

Casting his gaze on Taylor who was deep in thought, Li Zicheng smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and drank tea.

He is about to work hard for a dream, but he is also giving him an ideal! What reason does he have to reject himself now? Now that he is here, he must have taken the bait. The way to deal with such a person is simple.

.

Long before the two met, he had always had the upper hand. He told Mu Ouchu from New York how to drop erbium. Until now, he took the initiative to come to the station to deliver some notes. Did he need to do this? He drove dozens of kilometers just for a copy.

Notes? He wants to be that factory efficiency manager.

Putting the tea cup on the table, Li Zicheng emphasized again.

"Mr. Taylor, maybe you are an authority in management, but who can provide you with a broad enough stage? I think that in the entire United States, or even the world, no one except me can provide such a stage?

"

The extremely confident words made Taylor look at the young man in front of him in surprise. If it weren't for his seriousness and confidence, Taylor would even suspect that this young man was just a dreamer.

Does he know how much it would cost to set up what Mu calls "the largest, most modern and most efficient" company?

How can one person do this, and how can it be done in a short period of time?

Although he was full of doubts and even disbelief, Taylor had to admit that except for the young man in front of him, no one or country in the world could provide him with such a stage. If everything he said could be

If realized, the great achievement will become the most powerful evidence to prove the effectiveness of scientific management to the whole world.

I no longer need to refuse contacts with industrial companies for the so-called advantage of being incompatible with capital, as I did in the past ten years. I will give speeches and write books in the United States and Europe to promote scientific management. An unprecedented success will be

Promote the whole world to take the initiative to learn scientific management.

If it weren't for myself

"Can……"

Looking at the young man who still seemed a little excited, Taylor raised his doubts.

"Sir, do you know how much money it will cost to realize this dream? This is definitely not something that one person or a company can do!"

Mu Xiangyue, who was in shock after listening to Li Zicheng's description of his dream, immediately calmed down a lot after hearing Taylor's doubts. Yes! This requires a lot of money, not to mention an individual, not even China.

It can be taken out, and... As a Chinese, Mu Xiangyue naturally knows the difficulty of setting up industry in China. Although the republic has become a republic, perhaps the republican government will support industry and encourage industry, but it is only for foreign companies to serve China.

Market pressure is fatal to any company.

But the most important factor is money. Without money, everything is empty talk.

But the young man in front of me, who has not even introduced himself since he entered the house until now, does he have that ability? At least does he have the financial resources?

Smiling slightly, Li Zicheng's face showed a rather confident look. Maybe he didn't have anything else, but he now had enough money, and he also had an advantage that was difficult for anyone to match. It was very important for him to have it.

technologies, and they are far ahead of this era. Of course, those technologies need to be absorbed and integrated.

"I think……"

When he lengthened his voice a little, Li Zicheng noticed that Taylor already showed a look of expectation and even some nervousness. Not only was he excited, but the reason why he came here was probably for this matter!

Who wouldn’t want to write a history book and become a member of the epic?

"There is no problem with money!"

As he said that, Li Zicheng smiled.

"Just yesterday, I just got a huge sum of money from Morgan!"

Morgan! Big money!

Taylor, who was originally doubtful, showed a look of surprise and enlightenment until he heard this sentence. When he saw the report in the newspaper yesterday, he still admired China in his heart.

"You...you are Mr. Zicheng Li!"

Taylor almost exclaimed in disbelief.

He is the Li Zicheng who sold a patent for US$76 million!

Different words, but the same surprise.

"You must know that running a steel plant is not an easy task!"

"If it were easy, I wouldn't do it!"

During the question and answer, Li Zicheng laughed loudly, and the hearty laughter echoed in the room. Looking at the young man, Taylor finally stood up after thinking for a long time, and Li Zicheng also took the initiative to ask him when he stood up.

Taylor extended his hand.

"How about it, Mr. Taylor, are you willing to witness the birth of a steel empire in person?"

“Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity!”

When Taylor accepted the invitation, the box room was pushed open, and it was Mu Xiangyue who walked in. After seeing Taylor enter the box, he had been waiting outside until he heard this sentence.

Then he walked in with a smile on his face and looked at the two people standing there holding hands.

Mu Xiangyue said quickly.

"Mr. Taylor, you are finally here!"

"Mu..."

Taylor, who had just accepted the invitation, looked slightly embarrassed, but at this moment Mu Xiangyue smiled and raised the train ticket in his hand.

"Here's your train ticket!"

Pacific Railway - the first railway across the North American continent. The Pacific Railway made a huge contribution to the economic development of the United States. In a certain sense, it was this railway that made the modern United States. It is more than 3,000 kilometers long.

Crossing the entire North American continent, it is the world's first transcontinental railway. This railway is regarded as a miracle in the eyes of Americans. Under the conditions at the time, the construction process was extremely difficult. Among them, the Sierra Nevada Mountains have steep terrain.

It is the most difficult problem in building the Pacific Railway.

The most difficult and dangerous section of this great railway was built by mostly Chinese workers. When the Chinese came to the American continent, they opened gold mines, built railways, developed agriculture in California, and participated in small manufacturing and catering.

The industry and service industry have left the mark of Chinese hard work in all places where it is possible to survive or even where others think it cannot survive. Thousands of Chinese workers were called to participate in the most arduous construction of the Central Pacific Railway. During the project,

With the unique hard-working spirit and outstanding intelligence of the Chinese people, they played a key role and made a decisive contribution to road construction. In addition to sweat and wisdom, the Chinese workers also sacrificed their lives. It is no exaggeration to say that,

The western section of the Pacific Railway was paved by Chinese laborers with their lives.

However, what is outrageous is that when building railways, Chinese workers were treated unfairly such as meager remuneration, racial discrimination and anti-Chinese waves. However, even so, after the California gold rush and the Pacific Railroad, the Chinese who suffered racial discrimination still continued to work.

The place they call "Golden Mountain" survives tenaciously. No matter discrimination, persecution or earthquakes, they have not erased the presence of the Chinese in this city.

San Francisco Train Station is the terminal station of the Pacific Railway. Every day, people come and go from here. For many passengers who come and go here, this is the door to the United States and the gateway to leave the United States.

's export.

In the Baroque-style exit hall of the train station, there are several young people standing next to the pillars. They are dressed in suits. They seem to be no different from Americans, but their skin color and appearance reveal that they are Orientals.

.

"Ajie, why hasn't that person left the station yet?"

Looking through the crowd at the passengers walking out of the station, Li Fengqin asked his friends beside him anxiously.

"Wait a minute, and this is the car he is sitting in!"

Yu Jie, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, took a drag of the cigarette. When he was about to spit, he saw the foreign devils around him. As if he remembered something, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, spit on it and put it back into his pocket. Those foreign devils

They always say that Chinese people don't care about hygiene, so the host of the hall keeps giving orders to everyone to pay attention to hygiene.

"Master, we have arrived in San Francisco, and the ferry ticket is for thirteen days!"

Ah Si, who was carrying his suitcase, said something to the young master in front of him at the exit of the station.

"I know, let's find a hotel to stay in first, and we have to wait for Taylor to help us invite some people back!"

At a glance, he saw two Chinese people among the crowd leaving the station. Yu Jie quickly threw the cigarette butt into the trash can.

"They're coming!"

"Ajie,"

Before Li Fengqin finished speaking, Yu Jie strode towards the two people.

"Excuse me, are you Li Zicheng, Mr. Li?"

"Ah you are?"

Looking in surprise at the young man who suddenly came to him and spoke Cantonese, Li Zicheng was stunned. He seemed to have no friends in San Francisco!

"Mr. Li, our hall master invites you to come!"

"Hall Master?"

That hall master?
