Chapter 47: "Selling Piglets"
Su Mu thought it was a good suggestion, it was definitely much better to go to those groups to seek cooperation than to run around the street like headless flies, Castellar Middle School has reported today, just in time to contact the students.
Just do it!
The three of them packed their things and set off, and Mr. Smith drove an old Dodge pickup, just in time to send them over.
Knowing that this protest was initiated and organized by Leon Sue, he was determined to follow these two teenagers to see what step he could achieve in the end.
As a well-informed adult, he knows that it is not so simple to involve this kind of thing, if the American official is so easy to speak, there will not be so many contradictions, no matter what, being able to fight for the rights of the old people is enough to leave a very good impression in Mr. Smith's mind.
In this era, there is no shortage of talents, what is lacking is talents with noble spirits, Su Mu's approach is very in line with his belief in life, otherwise he would not have stayed on a hot day, and helped distribute leaflets regardless of returns, the starting point is simply for fairness and justice.
Of course, it's hard to say what Mr. Smith would think if he knew that he was Su Mu......
Su Mu and his friend Du Zhong whispered in Chinese, and it was very rude to whisper in other languages in the presence of others, but the content of the conversation must not be heard by Mr. Smith, otherwise it is likely to be annoyed and angry, and most of the things about entering Loyola Private High School will also be in vain.
At this moment, his tone was unhappy, and he lowered his voice and said to Du Zhong: "It's all your fault!
Now I just want him to go back as soon as possible, and preferably never see each other again, at least until I enroll...... I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, it looks like I should submit a few more resumes, and I have to leave a way back. ”
Du Zhong replied heartlessly: "This gentleman seems to have a good temper, otherwise if you explain, maybe he will forgive you?"
"I don't want to gamble on the possibility that the risk of failure is too high.
Let's take it one step at a time, we'll talk about it later, what a simple teacher, I'm starting to worry about what I can learn at Loyola High School. ”
"Isn't that the case in private high schools, do you think that like Castellal, teachers spend all day wondering how to discipline their students?"
Du Zhong shook his head and continued: "No, teachers in good schools don't need to think about this aspect, they are generally dissuaded directly if there is a small problem, you only need to study and socialize there, don't think about this kind of thing, I heard that even the teachers in Loyola Middle School are men, hahaha!"
Su Mu dropped the sentence lightly: "Then I'll make do with you." ”
As if he was stuck in the neck, Du Zhong couldn't laugh for a moment, his face showed horror, and he said for a long time: "Your sister's ......"
Castellar Middle School is right in front.
Su Mu thought he would never use it again a few days ago, but he didn't expect to come back today, and he really didn't have much confidence in mobilizing these students to support him......
Boss Han Yu didn't get involved in Su Mu's affairs, he was so busy all day long that he couldn't see people because of the preparation for the construction of a fun shopping supermarket, and the money was spent like paper.
The supermarket is different from the small convenience store he usually runs, and he still needs to learn a lot of management knowledge while preparing to renovate the old glass yard, and the supplier also needs to be contacted.
The price given by the middleman is not suitable, and he has to contact the manufacturer in person, and some shopping malls feel that the scale is too small, and they are not willing to arrange special delivery, and sometimes the freight is higher than the price offered by the local supplier, these things make Boss Han dizzy, and recently finally had the idea of hiring a professional manager, ready to poach talents directly from Wal-Mart to help.
Of course, for the time being, there is no need for the time being, the upfront funds are not much, he must be careful in his calculations, in line with the principle of saving as much as he can, save more funds, and keep them for later use.
I regret that before signing the agreement, I should have 55 percent, or even 60 percent of the shares, and I am not happy with Su Mu lying down and taking money, but if it is not for Su Mu to invest a sum of money, Boss Han Yu himself will not be able to take out so much money for the time being, and the scale of the supermarket market will inevitably be limited, and it can only be said that there will be gains and losses.
The roof of the old glass factory was quickly torn down by Chinese laborers, leaving only four empty exterior walls, and the windows had to be replaced, some of which were now blocked with bricks by craftsmen, and about 1,500 square meters of space were used as warehouses, or they would have to be rented elsewhere.
For the boss Han Yu, who is seriously short of funds, it is good to save a little more, spend more money than he imagined, and be able to support until the day of the opening of the Qugou supermarket is thankful, today I learned that the salary can be given on credit until the end of the year, and the material supplier is willing to temporarily pay on credit until the end of the year in order to get this business, which is good news, so that the money in hand is almost enough.
Chinese craftsmen are very efficient, and their work attitude is also serious, as long as they pay more for overtime or something, no one will be unwilling.
Boss Han Yu saw that the workers were still cleaning up the debris on a hot day, so he specially asked people to cook a few large pots of mung bean soup, and at this moment beckoned the craftsmen to rest for a while, and let them drink some soup before continuing.
His ancestors were sent to the United States by "selling piglets", and his grandfather also worked on the construction site before his death, and finally fell ill, so he knew to cherish the health of the craftsmen.
Many young people don't understand the meaning of "selling piglets", and the "pig" here does not refer to real pigs, but people!
The vast majority of them are mainly Chinese, and it is not only blacks who were abducted to the American continent to do hard labor, but also the ancestors of many Chinese people who are now abducted and sold.
After the Opium War, the Western invaders wantonly abducted and abducted Chinese laborers in the southeastern coastal areas of China and sent them to Nanyang and the Americas for resale.
History books will only teach people about the Industrial Revolution, but they will not describe the history of the lack of labor and the sale of Chinese people as cattle.
In addition, there are simple jobs on credit, that is, the fare of the ship abroad is paid by the recruiter first, and the person who owes the debt must be controlled by the employer in the foreign country until the debt and interest are paid off, and many people do not want to make money in this foreign country to live a good life, and even die without paying off the high debt, and finally have to let the child or wife continue to pay.
At that time, transportation was inconvenient, and it took about three to five months to sail from China to various parts of the Americas, and the Chinese laborers were imprisoned in the cabins, living in extremely harsh conditions, and the death rate was as high as about half, so this kind of ship was also called "floating hell" at that time.
After coming to the Americas, Chinese workers still lived an inhuman life, with a mortality rate of more than half, and it can be said that at that time, the bones of Chinese were covered under the railroads in the United States.
Boss Han Yu's ancestors were even more miserable, they were kidnapped and sent directly in a wooden box, and they almost died halfway, and they never forgot their hometown when they died, and finally died crying.
Speaking of the old Chinese living in the United States, every family in Chinatown has a sad past......
