Chapter 0644: I'll Give You Another Chance to Organize the Language [4 More]
This time, the team led by Lu Yunsheng, in addition to the 3,000 escort regiments who were preparing to line up to receive green cards, also had a group of people who were talents in the financial industry who Li Cheng greeted in Shanghai.
If you want to invest heavily here, buy all kinds of factories and pastures, etc., you count on 3,000 guerrillas to do it...... It's a bit unreliable.
The 3,000 Escort Regiment did not bring their families, and many of the financial talents who wanted to stay here for a long time to buy property properties and take care of them by the way brought their families.
Everyone saluted a lot, such as clothing, how many sets each person bringed, in addition to guns and bullets.
Many of the guns and bullets they brought this time already belonged to the Shanghu Military Factory under Li Cheng's command, and he left for more than half a year, and the Shanghai Military Factory could have been mass-produced a long time ago.
Seeing that most of the coolies on the dock were all Chinese, Lu Yunsheng smiled happily, the Chinese workers here are also their own people who want to recruit and unite.
instructed the translator to carry the goods with Cameron, the leader, and so on, Lu Yunsheng walked to the dock and casually greeted the plainly dressed Chinese workers, "Where are you all from, and how long have you been in San Francisco?"
It was Zhang Yutang who was greeted by Lu Yunsheng, and Zhang Yutang was originally a little afraid of the wealth and nobility of Lu Yunsheng and others......
Even when they were in China, they were low-level coolies and small people, and they were not in the same class as the big people.
Fortunately, Lu Yunsheng is very infectious, and making friends from different walks of life is his specialty, and after chatting casually for a while, Zhang Yutang was completely relaxed, and he knew everything under the inquiry.
He also quickly learned that even though the Chinese workers made great efforts to develop the western part of Bald Eagle, build railroads and even rebuild San Francisco, and many people were tired to death, they were still the lowest people here, and they were more discriminated against than poor ghosts, sailors, and blacks.
In order to prevent the Chinese workers and Chinese Americans from polluting their noble atmosphere, the white people only drew a small area centered on Tuban Street in San Francisco, which was for all Chinese Americans to live in.
That area is of course the poorest and most remote area in the current San Francisco, but it is also the origin of the largest Chinatown in San Francisco in the future.
After Zhang Yutang learned that the Chinese laborers who worked as coolies on the wharf could basically earn one or twenty cents a day, but they had to be taken away by the white supervisor four or five cents, Lu Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh.
One hundred cents is equal to a knife, a knife is almost two oceans, and the income of more than ten cents a day is also equivalent to the daily income of 0.3 yuan in China, three cents.
Three cents a day, in fact, is not bad, at this time, the dock coolies in the Republic of China are also close to this income standard.
It's nothing more than that the domestic coolie work is very unstable, and there may be no income for a small half of a month, not that the domestic freight volume is small, like the Shanghai Beach, the freight throughput is very large, how can there be a lack of opportunities?
The domestic coolie work is unstable, and there are too many people who eat this line of food!
Many people can't get the opportunity to work as coolies.
And in San Francisco, you let blacks and whites try this kind of work like this? How many of them are not cheating and tricking you, but lazy if you can be lazy? Only the Chinese don't mind suffering at all in this regard.
However, the daily income of coolies in the Republic of China is similar to that of bald eagles......
But the prices of the two countries are different, and the consumption level is different.
In general, if you are willing to endure hardships, you can still live, which is somewhat easier than in the Republic of China.
In Lu Yunsheng sighed and sorted out the various differences, Zhang Yutang also showed a bright smile, "As long as we work hard here, it is not difficult to eat by ourselves, we are already a better job, much better than those piglets who were really thrown into the mine, at least Hongmen is willing to help us stand on the platform." ”
"If you are sick, you can ask a doctor to ask for leave, and if you encounter a robbery, even if you are robbed of money occasionally, with the support of Hongmen, you will not be killed at will, those pig workers are bitter, you can't make a few dollars, not to mention, once you get sick, you are directly thrown out of the mine to let you wait for death." ”
In his bright smile, Lu Yunsheng was speechless again.
He is also from a poor background, but looking at Zhang Yutang, he still has a feeling that it is difficult to explain.
Just as he sighed, the translator who was talking about business with Cameron before suddenly hurried over, "Boss Lu, that foreigner wants to kill us." ”
"It's not that we don't understand the market, but the goods actually said that we should carry all the salutes off the ship, and collect 1,000 dollars first, and then collect 2,000 dollars when the coolies help us carry them to the pointing place. ”
"I protested before, and he actually said that although we have guns, this is a bald eagle, and it is not our turn to mess around, and if we don't recognize this number, no one in the whole dock area will dare to take our work. ”
"Not only that, but it wasn't that easy for us to get out of the dock safely and get to our destination. ”
Lu Yunsheng smiled, he had only asked the price before, a Chinese worker like Zhang Yutang worked hard for a day, earning one or twenty cents, and there were more than 100 coolies managed by Cameron, and the Chinese coolies in the entire dock were only about 1,000.
In other words, these 1,000 people only harvested 1,200 US dollars in a hard day.
Now move off the ship and transport it to the designated place, 3,000 knives before and after?? Does this require more than 1,000 Chinese laborers to be busy from early morning to sunset?
No wonder that on that day, MacArthur, a major, would take the initiative to ask, what should they do if they are discriminated against and blackmailed after they come?
I just got off the boat, still with a gun, and I met this scene!
Lu Daheng, who has been wandering the streets and grew up from a pear seller, is just a temptation for this door to clear and Cameron's offer.
If he admits it, not to mention that Cameron will continue to advance an inch, and the other whites and blacks will see his weakness and besiege them, and they will not be left with any bones left.
Before Lu Yunsheng could speak, Zhang Yutang was shocked and said, "Three thousand knives??hiss, how can it be ......?"
"Usually we help a guest carry their luggage from the boat, and when they are delivered to the car or the hotel or something, a few cents a day. ”
"More than a dozen trips a day, 30 points are a good income. ”
Lu Yunsheng smiled and took out a cigar and lit it, and said to the translator, "Go and call Cameron over." ”
A moment later, not only Cameron came over with a few white stewards, but Lu Yunsheng had more than a dozen uniformed men with guns behind him.
Seeing the scene here, the white soldiers who were originally stationed at the dock also had a tendency to gather, but ...... Looking at the subdued troops who kept coming down from several different cruise ships, more and more people gathered, and gradually there was a tendency to break a thousand.
The white soldiers who were about to assemble stopped doing nothing, just watched from afar.
Cameron also began to change color, thousands of Chinese soldiers gathered, all with long and short guns in their hands, and they still looked quite like it?
Lu Yunsheng smiled and spat out the smoke ring, "Cameron, right, I'll give you another chance to organize the language, you say, how much does it cost to do our business??"
