Chapter 412 Indian Warriors in New York!
Wearing bird feathers, draped with black long hair, an Indian-style leather jacket and trousers, an Indian soldier with a sturdy face, escorted a dozen carriages full of goods all the way from Missouri to New York.
It only took Chen Mo ten minutes to fly in a steel suit, but they walked for nearly ten days.
It's not that no one hit their ideas along the way, but in the face of Indian soldiers with better weapons and equipment than the army, and a stronger sense of battle, after destroying a few armed gangs that they despised because they were Indians , then arrived in New York smoothly all the way.
When they first entered New York, this special team caused a stir. Fortunately, they went directly to the central part of Manhattan belonging to Chen Mo. Only the people in Chen Mo's farm saw it, otherwise even the police would be alarmed. The presence of heavily armed Indians in the city would still cause quite a stir.
That's it, the news of this Indian team quickly spread throughout New York, and John Jacob Astor finally knew who was against him!
However, he is gradually losing sight of Chen Mo now.
In the beginning, the Chinese rich man made a lot of enclosures in the remote suburbs in the northern part of the New York City area, and was ridiculed by them, but as Brooklyn was also taken over by him, he has become the largest landowner around New York, although It's just some suburban land, but it has already made many people mutter in their hearts.
But no matter what they think, they can't guess Chen Mo's intention. These lands will not be available for decades. What's the point of buying them at this time? It is better to invest money in the real estate and financial fields in the urban area. As long as the operation is good, it will soon be able to turn several times.
However, although he is puzzled, no one will call him an idiot anymore. No matter what, these assets are real. Even if he does nothing, does not carry out any commercial operations, and only keeps these lands, his assets have already crossed New York. the vast majority of people.
When someone who is similar to you or even worse than you does something you don't understand, people will laugh at him, but when a person who is much better than you does the same thing, no one will laugh at him .
However, compared to Chen Mo's intention to buy these remote lands, John Jacob Astor was more curious about how he conquered those rebellious Indian tribes, even if he had been operating in the Missouri area for so many years, It only monopolized the trade with the Indians, so that they could only trade with him, and were oppressed and exploited by him, but it was impossible to subdue and order them to do things for themselves.
He didn't even dare to exchange muskets and other weapons with these Indians, for fear that they would rebel against him and threaten his rule in the Missouri area.
And Chen Mo, a seemingly conservative and short-sighted Chinese rich man who only knows how to blindly hoard land, was able to subdue them and use these arrogant Indians for his own use, breaking his monopoly in the Missouri area. Jacob Astor couldn't help but glance at Chen Mo, it seems that this Chinese rich man is not as simple as they thought!
But he won't just let it go!
So what if the Indian tribes are subdued, these savage and backward Indians are nothing more than talking beasts, and they are not even citizens of the United States at all, and they are not protected by law. Even if they are all killed, there is no problem.
If it wasn't for these wildlings who are good at hunting to provide him with precious furs, he would have used the powerful armed forces in his hands to slaughter all these disobedient wildlings.
Compared with the armed men of the American Fur Company who have advanced firearms, the Indians who still use bows and spears as weapons, although they have higher fighting literacy and are more intrepid and not afraid of death, are at an absolute disadvantage in firepower. It is not the opponent of these armed men.
Even if these Indian natives who were subdued by Chen Mo have muskets, what if they leave the forest,
John Jacob Astor has a way to deal with them, but what he cares more about is actually Chen Mo!
Before, he didn't know who he was fighting for control of the Missouri area, so he had been passive. Now that he knew that Chen Mo was attacking him, John Jacob Astor was not worried.
If Chen Mo had been hiding behind the scenes, carefully hiding himself, and not letting the Indians transport furs to his land with such great fanfare, it would be difficult for John Jacob Astor to find him, so he would take him. There is no way.
It's a pity that this Chinese rich man doesn't know if he is arrogant or really has no brains, but he exposed himself so easily.
It's easy to do things when you find the real master. The armed men in the Missouri Forest are not Chen Mo's subordinates and the opponents of these Indian natives who have muskets. Increase the size of each acquisition team.
But in New York, where he has been operating for decades, it is not easy to deal with Chen Mo, an outsider who has no foundation!
In recent years, he has not been too concerned with the business in Missouri, and has completely left it to his subordinates to take care of it, while he has been staying in New York all the time, developing in real estate, finance, mining, industry and other fields, and seems to have long forgotten his original The savage and ruthless businessman who claims to be a civilized businessman does not intend to use force against Chen Mo for the time being, but intends to use his best "commercial means" to deal with Chen Mo, an outsider, so as to show his means of being rich in the United States!
After some investigation, Chen Mo's actions after coming to New York were basically understood by him. He learned that Chen Mo hired top talents in various industries with high salary and formed a private team to take care of business affairs for him. John Jacob Bo Astor smiled disdainfully.
"This bumpkin from China has some brains and knows how to hire professionals to serve him."
Raising his right hand, he put the thick Cuban cigar between his fingers into his mouth and inhaled lightly. John Jacob Astor slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said contemptuously.
"However, this is the United States, the United States where money is paramount! Fight with me, you are still a little tender!"
John Jacob Astor has discovered that Chen Mo has a fatal flaw, that is, this private business team.
All of Chen Mo's business activities, whether it is acquiring land or selling fur, are done through this team. Once this team defected, Chen Mo would instantly become nothing!
