Things in Sacramento were very successful. Jiang Hao was about to return to Los Angeles. Before leaving, he met old man Durant. The old man looked confident about running for the state assemblyman. Jiang Hao sent his blessings.

A few days later, Jiang Hao returned to Los Angeles. At this time, people already knew about his appointment. Jiang Hao convened all the members of parliament and held the first working meeting to determine his status.

Los Angeles is still underway for major construction, and Jiang Hao arranges all his work. Next, Jiang Hao is preparing to build a new factory again to produce smokeless guns and new guns. Perhaps Hall Gun Manufacturing Company will become a well-known major arms company in the United States in the future.

Time flies, two months passed, and California's campaign for state assembly ended. Old Durant really became a state assemblyman because of Jiang Hao's funding. This is also a happy ending, and Jiang Hao officially became the mayor of Los Angeles.

There are countless jobs in Los Angeles now, requiring a large number of staff. Jiang Hao's cigarette factory is expanded and the gun manufacturing factory is established, requiring a lot of workers. Santa Monica Pier construction also requires a large number of staff. Jiang Hao is also preparing to develop Long Beach, requiring more and more staff.

Los Angeles is now short of people.

Jiang Hao held a meeting of lawmakers and said to many lawmakers: "Los Angeles is developing at full speed, which has also brought many problems. The most difficult one is that we lack a lot of people, farmers and workers. During this period, we have advertised and got more than a thousand workers from San Francisco, but the amount is still very, very large. With the current situation, we lack at least more than 10,000 people. Are there any good solutions, gentlemen, do you have any good solutions?"

Some MPs also said: "Yes, I also feel the pressure of lack of manpower. Recently, my farm wants to recruit a few new farmers and can't find people even if they reclaim new land."

"We can publish recruitment advertisements in newspapers, and maybe someone will come from the east or the middle." Someone suggested.

"That may take a long time, and it may not be a good result." Someone retorted

People have been discussing for a long time, but there is no good way. Jiang Hao looked at the congressmen and said, "I have a suggestion. Let's discuss it. I want to announce that Los Angeles is a Chinese-friendly city to attract more Chinese people. What do you think."

"Before, my factory recruited thousands of Chinese workers because of its lack of staff. I think they are a very hardworking group of people, hard-working, obedient and easy to manage, and have no bad habits. You should know that during the construction of the railway, Chinese were the largest working group. I think if we announce this policy, we may attract more Chinese people, so that we will not be short of staff in Los Angeles."

This is Jiang Hao’s real purpose.

Jiang Hao knew that it was too difficult to change the social status quo by relying on one person's power. A country was moving forward like a 10,000 tons of ship. He carried the power of countless people. Whites and Chinese involved in conflicts in various aspects such as ethnicity, economy, culture, etc., and his own strength alone could not be reversed.

Everything he did before was just trying to give the Chinese a breather.

The MPs were a little silent.

Many people have a kind of resistance to Jiang Hao's proposal from the heart. This is caused by long-term ideas. But if you want to directly oppose Jiang Hao's proposal, these congressmen are also worried. Although Jiang Hao's authority is getting stronger, this is not the main reason. In the final analysis, it is still related to interests.

Jiang Hao looked at the MPs, his eyes fell on someone, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Connorson, what do you think of my proposal?"

Connorson opened a big store in Los Angeles. Since the population increased, his business has improved a lot. Not only that, many of the things Jiang Hao needs now are purchased from Connorson stores, such as gloves, shovels, ropes, etc. But these things can make Connorson earn 20,000 or 30,000 more than a year.

Two or three thousand dollars is not a small amount of money.

Oppose it?

I'm afraid Hall will not purchase goods from him tomorrow. Connors can't afford such a huge loss. Connors immediately squeezed out a smile and said to Jiang Hao with a smile: "Mayor, I think your proposal is for Los Angeles. Los Angeles really lacks a lot of labor. Chinese people come here to add a good supplement to us. I agree with your proposal."

Jiang Hao nodded with a smile, then turned to look at the other MP.

"Mr. Thomas, what do you think of my proposal?" Jiang Hao asked.

Thomas is a farmer with more than 5,000 acres of land and mainly grows grain. His previous grain needs to be transported to San Francisco for sale. Now Jiang Hao’s factory purchases a large amount of flour. Thomas has specially established a flour mill to supply Hall’s flour business.

Oppose it?

He should still have more than 10,000 US dollars in debt from Hall City Bank. If Hall Company no longer purchases its flour tomorrow, its factory will immediately stop work and close down. He will become a debtor, and the flour mill and farm will be taken away. He will become a decent person and suddenly become a homeless man.

Thinking of this, Thomas shuddered,

No, he will never allow such things to happen. He will go to hell, it is really good to live a good life.

Thomas immediately stood up and said loudly: "His mayor, I firmly support you. My flour mill is still short of workers. When the Chinese come, I am still planning to recruit a few Chinese to work for me. Please hurry up, I can't wait."

Jiang Hao smiled, "It seems that your flour mill needs to be expanded, which is really good news."

Hearing this sentence, Thomas, I said, is this a signal to myself? Is it a sign that I will expand my flour mill and buy a large amount of my flour in the future? Yes, Chinese people also have to eat when they come, so naturally there will be more flour sales and you can make more money.

At this time, Thomas looked at the other members with the best relationship with him, who were also farmers. Thomas was picky about these people and said, "It seems that I want to buy more food from you."

The industrial chain is the interest chain, and all links involve many people.

When these farmers heard this, they said, "Yes, they sold their grain directly to Thomas' flour mill. If Thomas was finished, they would also be finished."

Several people immediately spoke, "I agree with the mayor's proposal."

"Oh, I think Chinese are good. They are not as pickled as rumored. When I contact them, they are very polite and humble."

Jiang Hao nodded and looked at another MP. The MP named Phillips immediately stood up and said, "There are several Chinese workers working in my ranch now. I am considering increasing the number of beef cattle and also considering building a milk processing plant. It also requires more workers, so I support the Mayor's proposal."

This guy is a real cowboy and a cattle breeder. His ranch has more than 2,000 cattle and thousands of sheep, which is nothing in later generations, but in Los Angeles, he is definitely a big rancher. The cattle and sheep he slaughtered were used to catch trains and sent to San Francisco for sale, but now they are almost all purchased by Hall factory.

He is not stupid. He has no fucking benefits when he goes against his financial backer. He is putting a rope around his neck and seeking death.

When the other ranchers saw Phillips' statement, they also understood that Mayor Hall is not only the mayor, he is also the boss of Hall Company, and can be said to control the entire Los Angeles economy.

Their company purchases their own cattle and sheep, and the farthest, he will control the public facilities in the entire Los Angeles in the future, as well as the Santa Monica Pier in the future. Although it is the government now, everyone knows that the Los Angeles government cannot pay back the money at all. Even if it has the ability, Mayor Hall will not let him pay back it back.

In the future, if you want to develop your own ranch, do you need to use dock transportation? That is a must. If someone doesn’t let you in, then die.

"I agree with the mayor's proposal."

"I agree, too."

"agree."

Most of these members have their own industries and almost all have business dealings with Hall Company. In other words, they rely on Hall Company to survive. If Jiang Hao cuts off their business, they will immediately fall into the valley.

After all, these people were defeated by their ability to make money.

Therefore, controlling people's money bags is more effective than controlling people's hands and feet and blocking their mouths.

This is reality.

Even in modern times, we have not deviated from this model. What democracy is, to put it bluntly, it is still for our own interests.

"Please vote now." Jiang Hao said.

The result of the vote was that 32 members of parliament, 21 voted in favor, 9 voted against, and 2 abstained.

Jiang Hao immediately announced, "From now on, Los Angeles will be a Chinese-friendly city. I hope that in the future, Los Angeles will be a civilized, modern, open and rich city, abandoning discrimination and conflict, and allowing the people to live a happy and fulfilling life."

"Wow!"

The councillors applauded, "Mr. Mayor said so well, we support the mayor's decision."

After the parliament ended, Jiang Hao returned to his office and took the votes from his silence. Although it was a secret vote, it was hard for Jiang Hao, who knew chemistry to make a mark, took out the image droplets on the votes against them, and numbers appeared one by one.

You know, there is a sequence of distribution. Jiang Hao made a special arrangement. He had the ability to remember what number he was. Just look at the numbers above to know whose votes belong to.

"Teuber, Clinton, Bush" Jiang Hao said 9 names in a row, all of whom were against him. Jiang Hao smiled and murmured: "I will not let you appear in the conference room again in the next election of lawmakers."
