Chapter 165 of Chapter 165 Bribery at the same time

"Why don't you speak up? Speak up and show your courage to exclude the Chinese." Sheffield stretched out his hands and cheered for these working class members. "What's wrong? You don't want to speak up for your rights at this time? Maybe I should go find a job with the Mexicans."

Sheffield sneered, "I really thought I was facing a group of patriots, but it turns out that this is all you can do. From this point of view, you Californians are really not as good as us Texans. Please forgive me for being so blunt, but this is my true thought."

"Mr. William, they are descendants of the Spanish, but they speak a different language." Finally, a man named Ximan mustered up the courage to speak, "and these people are lazy."

"To be precise, they are descendants of Spaniards and Indians, and maybe black people, as can be seen from their skin color. Of course, I don't exclude any women. I'm just correcting your statement. For example, I can tell if they are yellow people, but I can't tell these Mexicans who crossed the border at a glance unless they speak. So our tradition as Texans is to be vigilant against Mexicans and prevent these losers from changing the outcome of the war by immigration." Sheffield reminded calmly, "As a college student who graduated from the University of Austin, my academic experience tells me that California was also snatched from the Mexicans."

"You are all paying attention to the yellow people coming from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Why can't you spare a little attention to the illegal immigrants in front of you? These are the opponents we defeated? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the other side, or are you new immigrants to the United States who lack loyalty to the country? Our family participated in the Mexican War, and some family members died on the battlefield." Sheffield had an imperialist face and was very proud of this history. Without the Mexican-American War, there would be no Texas today, and many territories, and naturally he would not have his current status.

"As a descendant of a robber, I don't hide my thoughts. I'm afraid of revenge from the victims. In fact, you should have the same thoughts, but I don't know why you don't seem to have them." Sheffield said indifferently, "There must be some problems here. Your wave of xenophobia in California seems a little weird."

Now a very young and successful person with extensive knowledge is analyzing the unreasonable aspects of this. This makes people think deeply, is there something wrong?

No one knows the answer, but xenophobia soon became the target of Chinese people.

"Mr. William!" Harvey said slowly at this time, "I remembered this person named Connie. He is a descendant of the Irish."

"Who is Coney?" Sheffield didn't know this person. Affected by the potato famine, Irish boys went out to make a living at an early age. Coney was the second of seven sons in the family and lost his father at a young age. He was only eleven years old and did not go to school. He began to work on a sailing ship to make a living. Later, he arrived in the United States and married an Irish woman. He had one son and two daughters. He and his family settled in San Francisco and started a truck transportation business. His business was prosperous, and he later led the California Workers Party, despising the press, capitalists, politicians and Chinese.

Listening to Harvey's narration, Sheffield had already simulated a rough idea in his mind. Isn't this an example of a second devil being more arrogant than the real devil? A typical example of convert fanaticism. He already knew that the razing of Chinatown was done by Spanish immigrants, and the earliest leader of the Workers' Party was Irish.

Because the Irish had always resisted the British, they were naturally treated cruelly. Since the immigrants to the United States were mainly from Britain and Germany, this wave naturally existed in the United States as well, and the Irish were not even considered white.

This was probably the time when Cohen immigrated here. These later immigrants were obviously discriminated against, but the Irish were probably the most discriminated against among all the European immigrants.

"It turns out that the first leader of your Workers' Party is an Irishman who is famous for having children. This is really interesting!" Sheffield said sarcastically, "He took advantage of his appearance similar to that of white people and did this because he couldn't compete with the Chinese? I think there is something wrong with this."

There are many other reasons for excluding Chinese workers, but Sheffield cannot delve into this further. He cannot really say that this is what the citizens really think. He has no way to solve this problem, but he can expand it. If everyone is excluded equally, it will be much easier to deal with without a clear target.

Now everyone else has learned from Sheffield that this boss who came to California from the South hates Mexicans the most. He believes that these Mexicans have evil intentions and are preparing to slowly seize the territory of the United States through population migration, which has no interest to most California citizens.

Anyway, it would be the same if the California Workers' Party were to go back to its old ways and attack another group of immigrants. There is no moral guilt involved.

As a citizen of this country, why would you feel guilty about attacking outsiders? This is completely normal.

Sheffield also knew this mentality, so he was confident that this thing would succeed. Isn't it xenophobia? Let him, a capitalist, tell these workers how to be xenophobic.

Of course, during this process, Sheffield was constantly making sarcastic remarks. Listening to the leadership of Irish immigrants, who regarded illegal immigrants from neighboring countries with territorial disputes as allies, this extreme operation of not distinguishing between friend and foe made him feel superior in terms of intelligence. "You people with unclear brains want to take advantage of me? Let me tell you directly that any businessman is pursuing profits, and no one will support a group of losers. If I were not afraid that Mexicans would become the majority of the population here in the future, I could have opened a factory directly in Mexico, saved costs and sold it back to China. I wouldn't have to take a penny more, and the profit would have increased."

Snapping his fingers, John Connor took out a stack of dollars and placed it in front of the three people. Sheffield said slowly, "Actually, I don't want to cause trouble. I just want to start a business here. I still need some workers in the food industry factory. Of course, I like workers who don't make trouble. As long as you can calm the workers' emotions, we can cooperate. We are friends after receiving the money. If you insist on going against me, there is nothing I can do. Maybe the police station will issue me a commendation again. I will never have too many commendations that can get the support of citizens."

The shameless capitalists actually tried to bribe the representatives of the working class with dirty money. This despicable behavior is despicable. Several worker representatives were filled with indignation, thinking that a little impatience would ruin a big plan, and put the US dollars in their pockets with heavy hearts, ready to pretend to be compliant for the time being and endure for the sake of the overall situation.

Pah! Sheffield lit a cigar and took two puffs. He ordered, "How to be xenophobic, how to be xenophobic, everything is up to me. I will give you a chance to make a scene, but you have to grasp the limit. The Chinese workers I am currently using don't want to be disturbed."

After the three members of the California Workers' Party left, Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said, "To be honest, I don't have any ill feelings towards those Chinese workers who made money and left. They will return to their own countries. Isn't that good? What I am afraid of is those who refuse to leave. They are obviously illegal immigrants, but they act like masters. Mexicans are our long-term enemies. Especially now that the population in the West is sparse, we must not relax."

Harvey nodded, as if he understood Sheffield's idea. At least on the surface, the heir to this big company expressed his concern for the country and the people, and asked, "What should we do?"

Of course there is a way, but this method cannot be said now. Sheffield lowered his voice and said, "If Mr. City Councilman can allow me to buy the land near the Mexican border at a suitable price, I can guarantee that the citizens of California will never be disturbed by these enemies pretending to be friends again. I am quite professional in this area."

"Are you planning to build a wall?" Because there are quite a few Chinese people in California, Harvey has also heard of something called the Great Wall.

"No, I plan to build a wall in their hearts." Sheffield smiled inexplicably, but did not mention how to do it. "If the congressman can help me get as much land as possible at the lowest possible price, I believe he will become a partner of Sheffield United Company."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Give me some time!" After hesitating for a moment, Harvey did not directly reject Sheffield's request and prepared to give it a try.

"Look, this is a councilman who serves the citizens. No wonder Mr. Harvey became a city councilman at such a young age. I think that in a few years, Councilman Harvey might be the governor of California. At least the voters of the California Workers Party should support him." Sheffield pointed to Harvey's position and turned to John Connor and the others and asked, "Look, isn't it?"

"It's rare to see a congressman as young as Mr. Harvey." The bodyguards nodded in understanding. The more they looked at Harvey, the more they felt that he had the potential to be a governor.

Harvey clearly received the signal of being wooed, and said modestly, "This also depends on the support of voters and industrialists."

"A congressman like Mr. Harvey who is capable and has a good attitude will definitely be supported by voters and businessmen." Sheffield stood up and said, counting on his fingers. "Then I will wait for good news from Congressman Harvey and leave first."

After walking out of Harvey's residence, Sheffield suddenly stopped and tilted his head to whisper to John Connor, "I don't like Connie. Don't let him come out to cause trouble. Get rid of him."

This order was heard clearly by Evelin who followed behind, and her weak body was shocked.
