Rickshaw strikes, all the time, are affecting the British Concession.

Three days later, Jardine Matheson, Swire & Co., HSBC and other large enterprises jointly put pressure on the Ministry of Industry to resume the operation of rickshaws in the British Concession as soon as possible.

At the same time, the British Consulate, the British Command, and even the staff of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of Industry were protesting.

In the British Concession, where there were no rickshaws, travel was all by car.

But there are very few cars to sit in, and most of them are still on foot.

There are also taxis in the British Concession, but they are expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.

The major enterprises and units in the British Concession all put pressure on the Ministry of Industry, but Barnes could not resist it, so he had to take the initiative to negotiate with the rickshaw driver.

Originally, such negotiations should have been conducted by Barnes himself.

However, he really did not want to face these lowly Chinese, and besides, the rickshaw driver protested and was beaten and scolded, and a considerable part of it was the result of patrolling.

So Barnes gave Claysenki the task.

Claisenki is a police officer, how could he negotiate with a rickshaw driver?

After receiving the task, he naturally called Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou is Chinese and speaks fluent English.

At the same time, Lu Chengzhou investigated the reasons for the rickshaw strike and also inquired about the conditions under which they could resume work.

With Lu Chengzhou as an assistant, Clay Senqi believes that he can definitely negotiate smoothly and gain the upper hand.

Klaisenki's idea is only half right.

He let Lu Chengzhou be his assistant, and he will definitely be able to negotiate smoothly, but he may not be able to gain the upper hand.

Even if he can gain the upper hand, it is on the surface, or he thinks it is.

Although Lu Chengzhou is an assistant, he is responsible for specific matters during negotiations.

Lu Chengzhou was responsible for talking with the rickshaw representatives, and after the talks, he reported to Klaesenki, who in turn reported to Barns.

Barnes didn't want to deal with the Chinese, and neither did Claysench.

With Lu Chengzhou's assistant, Clay Senqi felt that his choice was too wise.

Because of Lu Chengzhou's "active communication", the negotiations quickly made progress.

The Ministry of Industry basically agreed to the conditions proposed by the rickshaw driver.

For example, in the future, during the inspection of the vehicle, the Ministry of Industry shall not have any incidents of beating rickshaw drivers, and must be polite in terms of language.

And, in the future, in the British Concession, the British Concession patrols and treats rickshaw drivers without any insults.

The Ministry of Industry and the Bureau have all said that they will accept it, and they will also urge all patrols.

In the past, rickshaw drivers only protested against the "British patrols", but this negotiation, joining the "British Concession", targeted all patrols.

In addition, if the vehicle inspection is postponed, the Ministry of Industry will pay an extension fee of two yuan for every hour that passes.

All drivers who participated in the strike were compensated 10 yuan per day.

At the same time, the "donation from the United Kingdom" and the "car share money" in the past few days must also be borne by the Ministry of Industry and Bureau.

The previous conditions, Barnes said they were acceptable.

The British are all gentlemen, how can they do such a thing as beating and scolding the coachman?

Even if there were, Barnes would have asked them to correct it when they found out.

What's the point of showing off your might in front of the Chinese? At least, Barnes felt that there would be no sense of accomplishment.

However, with the deferred fee and compensation, Barnes is not so happy.

For this reason, he also specially called Clay Senqi and Lu Chengzhou over to discuss, if according to the requirements of the rickshaw driver, the Ministry of Industry Bureau will lose hundreds of thousands?

This is absolutely unacceptable to Barns.

Fortunately, Lu Chengzhou had already left behind, and he swore that "I will definitely communicate well with the rickshaw driver to keep the price to the lowest." ”

After Lu Chengzhou's "efforts", the extension fee was changed from two yuan per hour to two yuan for half a day.

Moreover, the daily compensation has also been changed from 10 yuan to 3 yuan.

As for the "donation from the UK" in the past few days, it can be exempted.

However, the "car share money" has nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and Lu Chengzhou "categorically" rejected the unreasonable request of the rickshaw driver.

Lu Chengzhou was able to press the other party's conditions to such an extent, and Barnes was very satisfied.

When Clay Senqi and Lu Chengzhou came back to report, Barnes praised Lu Chengzhou's behavior in front of Claysenqi.

Lu Chengzhou can speak fluent English, and in the negotiation with the rickshaw driver, he avoided his embarrassment.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for participating in the negotiations, avoiding greater losses for the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and striving for the greatest interests for us." Barnes shook Lu Chengzhou's hand and said kindly.

The turmoil that originally took hundreds of thousands of yuan to solve can be solved with only tens of thousands.

Barnsch feels that Lu Chengzhou has made a lot of contributions.

"It is my privilege, whether it is, present, or future, I am proud to serve the British Concession." Lu Chengzhou said humbly.

Although his face was getting thicker and thicker now, his face still felt a little hot when he heard Barnes praise him so much.

"I can also feel honored that the police force has such a young talent as you." Barnsch said with a smile.

The British have long been desperate for the rickshaw to be restored as soon as possible.

Barnes asked Lu Chengzhou to notify the rickshaw driver's representative as soon as possible so that they could start work as soon as possible.

The rickshaw driver, on the other hand, was also cheered when he learned that the Ministry of Industry had agreed to the compensation plan.

Strikes, not good for both sides.

The negotiations went well, the compensation was available, and of course they were happy.

After the negotiation agreement was sent to Barnes for signature, the rickshaws in the British Concession resumed operation one after another.

That night, Zhang Baotou and Zhu Biao rushed to Lu Chengzhou's house again.

"Thank you so much, Officer Lu." After Zhang Baotou saw Lu Chengzhou, he bowed respectfully to him.

"I received your wishes, but I don't need to thank you, I just did what I had to do." Lu Chengzhou let go and said modestly.

During the day, he only met Zhang Baotou and Zhu Biao, and they came to visit at night, and if they fell into the eyes of those who cared, they would definitely be suspicious.

Of course, the people of the military command intelligence group outside, Lu Chengzhou don't have to worry.

Even if He He or Liu Youjun knew that he had secretly fought for the benefits of the rickshaw driver, they would not say anything.

He He really didn't say anything, he just suspected that Lu Chengzhou's approach seemed to be a little inconsistent with his previous suspicions about him.

Lu Chengzhou and the rickshaw driver strike must have something to do with it.

Even, He He suspects that it was Lu Chengyi who orchestrated the rickshaw strike.

Otherwise, Zhang Baotou and Zhu Biao would not often go to Lu Chengzhou's house to conspire.

This time, Lu Chengzhou, on behalf of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, negotiated with the rickshaw drivers, nominally, to fight for the interests of the Ministry of Industry and urge the rickshaws to end the strike.

In fact, Lu Chengzhou fought for a lot of benefits for the rickshaw in the British Concession.

The compensation of three yuan a day made all the rickshaw drivers feel that the strike in the past few days is worth it.

Some of them are hungry on strike.

With this compensation, it's all worth it.
