Chapter 446: People are wealth
In the Western pioneer era, the sheriff played an important role in the place, and the more correct name should be called the sheriff. Unlike modern police, the sheriff has the right to arrest people and also the right to judge. In western films, many bad characters are sheriffs because they have great power and can deal with people at will.
Now Jiang Hao is the sheriff of Los Angeles City and has a certain ability to protect his own industry.
Hall Farm is very busy now, with hundreds of farmers cultivating the land, clearing weeds, and deeply plowing the plantings. The neat ridges look pleasing to the eye.
Some of these lands are grown in corn and wheat, mainly to ensure food rations. The remaining large amount of land is grown in tobacco and marijuana. The land in southern Los Angeles is very fertile, and the Los Angeles River provides sufficient water. I believe it should grow well.
Hall Tobacco Company officially started construction, and there are now more than 200 workers. This time, Bill and his team recruited some mechanics and skilled tobacco workers to lead everyone to produce. They are still using traditional machinery and the speed is not fast, so Jiang Hao took the lead in letting them practice.
At this moment, Jiang Hao was leading several mechanics to make new cigarette machines. He had the ability to remember everything he saw. He had all the mechanical drawings of the new cigarette machine assembly line in his mind. He took a few days to draw the drawings and began to make someone to make the machine. He was supervising the worker next to him.
As for the filter, that thing is not complicated. Jiang Hao only took a few days to get the finished product. When manufacturing the cigarette machine assembly line, he also considered it. At that time, he could be formed in one piece and directly made the filter cigarette.
Everything is heading in a beautiful direction.
A month later, the new machine was finally built, and the assembly line was moved into the new factory, tobacco, cigarette paper, and filters were put in, and soon finished cigarettes were sprayed out. People were stunned when they saw the machine that kept spraying cigarettes.
"My God, this is too fast."
"This is definitely a miracle. I want to say that there is absolutely no faster cigarette machine in this world than ours."
"Oh, it's so wonderful to mold the filter in one go."
The mechanics and cigarette workers exclaimed.
Jiang Hao, Bill, Pitt and others also seemed very much. This was the result of their efforts. The rapid production means that they would make more money.
"Test how much you can produce in an hour." Jiang Hao said.
An hour passed, and the statistics were released, and the statistician's surprise report was reported: "Boss, you can produce 36,000 filter cigarettes in one hour, that is, you can produce 1,800 packs, 180 pieces, and more than half a box in one hour."
Jiang Hao shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction, "According to the 12-hour production per day, it is still too slow to produce 8 boxes of cigarettes per day."
You know, those cigarette machines in later generations produced tens of thousands of them in one minute, which is really incomparable.
Someone was surprised and said, "Boss, it's already very fast, 8 boxes of cigarettes, but the production line of the original 10-day production line has increased the speed by 10 times, far exceeding that of all cigarette factories in the United States and even the world."
When Jiang Hao heard this, he smiled, "That's right, you can't be too eager. Nowadays, you can't run fast. It's enough to surpass your opponent."
Then Jiang Hao instructed the mechanic to continue to build a cigarette production line, and at least 10 production lines were created.
However, in this way, there will be many things next. The tobacco they bought before probably won’t last long. They need to purchase a large amount of raw materials, build a new factory and recruit more workers, all of which need to be solved.
Another more important thing is to register a patent.
There is no registration authority in Los Angeles. He wants to rush to Sacramento, the capital of California, as soon as possible to register his two inventions, new cigarette machines and filter technology, which are his magic weapon for monopolizing the tobacco industry.
OK, then let's solve it at one time. Jiang Hao decided to lead the team to Sacramento in person.
Fortunately, he has a group of brothers. These guys all look like a bunch of rough men, but they have been rigorously trained in the Great Western Conference. None of them is a fool. Even Roy, a funny guy, is very concise when doing things.
Hall Farm was handed over to Jenny, who was the hostess, and he was assigned a few managers to manage the farm's planting.
The cigarette factory was handed over to Chris Adams. This is a smart guy. He has enough IQ to manage the cigarette factory well. Besides, there are also manufacturing workshop supervisors and production workshop supervisors promoted by Jiang Hao, so there is no big problem.
Let the strong man Vien form a manor guard. This guy used to be a soldier. Although he looked like a rough man, he was actually very smart. In the future, Jiang Hao's career will become bigger and bigger and he needs stronger armed forces, so let's start from now on.
Moreover, Jiang Hao is also planning to recruit a group of Chinese in the guard team to build a solid foundation and prevent the white people under his command from having any sense of superiority and discrimination. The first batch of 20 people, whites and Chinese, each account for half. Jiang Hao requires Vien to strictly select and manage.
In the public security office, Jiang Hao handed it over to Pitt. Pitt is the second best in the group of people who are the ones who are rigorous and careful in their work and are not easy to be impulsive. Jiang Hao is very relieved to be in charge of the public security office. He left Elmer and Charles to Pitt, and the original five people were enough.
Jiang Hao had a lot of things to do when he went out, and he had to be without staff, so he was going to bring five brothers, Bill, Coburn, Vaughan, John, and Roy, and added 6 managers, so I believe he could handle it.
Woo woo woo woo

The train stopped at the San Francisco Station, Jiang Hao and others got off, and trucks of goods were moved down. This time, Jiang Hao brought 120 boxes of cigarettes produced and decided to try selling them.
When he checked into the hotel, Jiang Hao said to everyone in the room: "I have to go to Sacramento. The registration of patents cannot be delayed. If it is leaked or it is too late, the losses will be immeasurable. Coburn, Vaughan, John, and Roy, you four are staying. The task is to sell cigarettes, purchase raw materials for cigarettes, purchase a batch of new steam engines and new machinery spare parts, and more importantly, recruit more workers, this time, no less than 500 people."
"The 6 supervisors are all left to you. I will take Bill to Sacramento by train tomorrow."
"Okay head." Several people responded.
The task was quite arduous, but the few people did not retreat and agreed. Jiang Hao was also very glad that he had such a trustworthy subordinate. People were wealth. If he had to work alone, it would probably be very, very difficult.
After only one night off, Jiang Hao set out for Sacramento with Bill and 10 boxes of cigarettes.
When the train is running, the mountains and fields on both sides are clearly visible, just like the most beautiful landscape painting. If it is a high-speed rail in later generations, you will not be able to see such a scene because your eyes cannot keep up with the speed at all.
When they arrived in Sacramento, after the two checked into the hotel, Jiang Hao took Bill to the Patent Office to register and handed over the materials, but were told that they needed to queue for review.
"How long will it take?" Jiang Hao asked.
The staff said arrogantly: "Who knows, there are many people queuing up in front. The men in charge of the review are very busy. It is normal to wait for two or three months. I have seen those who have been waiting for a year or two. Maybe you can entrust them to the lawyers and ask them to help register. I have a few lawyers in my hand. Do I need me to provide their addresses?"
It's a normal routine to chew.
Jiang Hao returned to the hotel, frowned and thought about the matter. It would be okay to find a lawyer, but the patent in his hand was a practical patent. If those lawyers use tricks and invade the patent, then even if he kills that guy, it would be useless.
This society is a society where individuals cannibalize people, and Jiang Hao never imagined it to be so beautiful.
Bill saw Jiang Hao worried and said, "Head, why not look for an acquaintance."
"We don't know acquaintances in Sacramento," said Jiang Hao.
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 legislator. If he could find that Mrs. Taylor, he might be able to ask her husband for help."
Hey, it's a way.
Jiang Hao suddenly became happy, "Yes, I remember that you saved that Mrs. Taylor. You two had a great time talking on the train. Bill, I will leave this matter to you, contact Mrs. Taylor to see."
"Okay, I'll go find someone now," Bill said.
