The internal opinions of the California Railroad Company have reached a consensus, and the next step is to win the support of external forces.

Liang Yao is naturally responsible for lobbying Vanderbilt, and the federal government and Congress also need to find supporters. After all, this is an American characteristic.

It would be difficult to do without the support of the federal government, but it may not be possible with the support of the federal government.

For such a major project, the federal government must come forward to propose a bill and submit it to Congress for a vote. Only if Congress votes and passes it can this project be carried out.

"Fremont, my good brother, thank you for your hard work. Without you, there would be no sketch of the Pacific Railroad."

After the meeting, Liang Yao said to Fremont with great gratitude.

"I really don't know how to thank you."

Fremont couldn't help laughing: "I am the first American to arrive in California. I have deep feelings for this land, and I don't need to say such disgusting words.

Your kid just hopes that our family and my father-in-law’s family can support the Pacific Railway proposal in Congress. Don’t worry, even if you don’t mention it, I will do it.”

Fremont had long seen through Liang Yao's thoughts. He was born in a wealthy family and is now a shareholder of the California Railroad Company and the United Mining Company. Money no longer means much to him. He has more interests.

High-level pursuits.

That pursuit is California, a prosperous California.

"As long as they are willing to give us support in Congress, I can sell them 20% of the shares of Atlantic Railway Company at a preferential price. Atlantic Railway Company is a high-quality railway company, and there is money in the shares of high-quality railway companies right now.

I can’t buy it,” Liang Yao said.

If you want to win the support of these people, you can't do it without giving some big sweeteners. Liang Yao also hopes to become long-term partners with these American aristocratic families through benefit sharing. Of course, it would be great if some of the liquidity can be recovered by selling shares.

However, after all, Liang Yao's cash flow is relatively tight now.

After the Land Grant Act was signed in 1850, American railroads ushered in a golden age of barbaric growth. The railroad industry was as popular in America in the mid-19th century as real estate was in China in the first decade of the 21st century.

.

Railways and gold, two powerful economic weapons, made the United States the first Western capitalist country to emerge from the world economic crisis in the 1840s.

Atlantic Railway Company is now a large railway company with assets of over 3 million U.S. dollars. The sweetness of 20% of Atlantic Railway Company's shares is not insignificant, and it is tempting enough even for a wealthy family with a net worth of millions.

"You are really willing to spend a lot of money." Fremont said with emotion.

"I would give up everything for California." Liang Yao said with a smile, and then Liang Yao turned to look at Ga Wen, "Ge Wen, I'm afraid you have to go to Ohio this time."

"Our family is just a small family and has no influence in the Congress." Ge Wen helplessly spread his hands.

Compared with Fremont's prominent family background, the influence of Gervin's family is much inferior.

"But many steel tycoons in Ohio have a good relationship with you." Liang Yao said.

"That's also thanks to you." Gwen replied.

"Building railways requires a large amount of qualified rails. Go to Ohio and tell the steel tycoons in Ohio that as long as they are willing to support the Pacific Railroad proposal in Congress and after the Pacific Railroad starts construction, we will give priority to purchasing the rails produced by them." Liang

Yao said to Ge Wen, "This is a win-win deal."

Ge Wen nodded: "This matter is on my shoulders. I am also a member of California. I know what to do."
