Pona used to be a hired worker of Xu Zhongqing's family, similar to the tenants of the Republic of China, not exactly the same, but he would help the Xu family when he was busy with farming, and he didn't have much to do with the Xu family on weekdays, so he was more of a short-term worker.

Xu Zhongqing, as the eldest son of the Xu family, of course he knew him, and the former Xu Zhongqing was unattainable for the Flutterna, so it is understandable that Flutter Zhana's hospitality to Xu Zhongqing.

beckoned to Poncha Na, Xu Zhongqing put his arm around Pcha Na's shoulders and walked into the alley next to him, whispered in Phu Cha Na's ear, and then stuffed a small bag into Phu Cha Na.

After listening to Xu Zhongqing's words, his complexion changed several times, and finally pinched the small bag that Xu Zhongqing had raced over, and nodded heavily.

The next day, Fuxiang teak processing factory.

It was originally the property of the Xu family, but because the Xu family moved out of Chiang Mai, it was sold to a wealthy local Siamese merchant at a discount by the Xu family's patriarch, Xu Ziting.

The so-called "discount", this is a better way to say, because of some objective reasons, the transfer price is less than one-third of the actual value, of course the Xu family does not want to sell, but the situation is stronger than people, and Xu Ziting is helpless about some things.

After the local wealthy merchant bought the carpentry factory, he did not want to operate, but to resell, the object of the resale was the British, the price, of course, and the actual value is not much different, at least compared with the transfer price of the Xu family, there is still a lot of profit.

In the morning, two Englishmen went to the carpentry factory under the protection of several Siamese natives.

Teak is a valuable wood that can be used to make high-end furniture, flooring, or interior decoration, teak is widely distributed in Siam and Myanmar, and Myanmar teak is especially good, and in the 21st century it was once called Myanmar's "national treasure".

The Phuoc Xiang Teak Processing Factory is famous in Chiang Mai, this processing plant not only has the machines used to process wood, but also has a whole mountain of teak forests, it is because of this convenient condition, so the wood of the Phuoc Xiang Teak Processing Factory sells well in Chiang Mai, and even in Myanmar is famous.

After the Xu family moved out of Chiang Mai, the entire processing plant was in a state of closure, and the workers did not know when the processing plant would reopen, and would gather at the gate of the processing plant every day to wait for the latest news, so when the two British arrived, hundreds of anticipating workers gathered at the factory gate, they intentionally or unintentionally blocked the door of the processing plant, wanting to get the latest news as soon as possible.

It must be said that the Siamese are indeed a bit unkempt, perhaps because of the hot weather, these Siamese people look a little unclothed, and with poor hygiene, they look like vagabonds, at least in the eyes of the two Englishmen.

When the carriage of the British came to the gate of the processing plant, the workers did not get out of the way, they wanted to see what the new boss was like, and whether he would be as good to them as the old owner.

If Xu Ziting came over, it was likely that he would be comforted by warm words, and then give a few promises, maybe he would be able to stabilize the overall situation.

But the two Englishmen apparently did not have that patience, or they did not think that these men were worth wasting their spirits, so the few Siamese who followed the carriage were particularly irritable.

"You pigs, get out of the way, don't get in the way of the master—" Four or five Siamese bodyguards, with short clubs in their hands, came up and whipped and beat them, trying to disperse them.

"Hey, be respectful, we're workers in this factory—" someone shouted, trying to prove that he wasn't an outsider.

Although the Xu family is a big family, but in a foreign country, the Xu family still maintains the kindness and humility of the Chinese, and treats the workers in the factory, Xu Ziting has always been a good family, so the workers in the factory are not very afraid of the boss, but in many cases, these Siamese people are very good at using their advantages to fight for some benefits that they should get or should not obtain.

"Fuck off – if you're not being honest, then you're nothing." The short stick in the bodyguard's hand flew up and down without the slightest stagnation.

Whether it is in India, Burma, or Malaya, or the world, the British have always played the role of conquerors, which makes the British extremely confident, and even their bodyguards will be superior, so when facing the indigenous population, the British have never been "weak", or rather, the British have never been as "weak" as the Chinese.

In the face of the bodyguard's short stick, some workers are pleading, some are wailing, and more voices are arguing: "You can't do this, we've been working here for a long time, and we have our hearts and minds here—"

In the face of the pleading of the workers, the bodyguards did not hesitate at all, the short stick they pulled down was still powerful, and the words in their mouths were still unbearable: "you for a long time, and it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu——"

Well, Siam doesn't have the concept of "Mao", that's probably what it means.

For these bodyguards, this stick should be considered a kind of dismounting, but for these workers, the feeling is not very good.

In fact, when the bodyguards first began to wave their short sticks, the workers had already dispersed, and those bodyguards did not restrain because of the workers' dodge, they wantonly chased and beat the workers, even those who had fallen to the ground.

Although the workers were outnumbered, they had no sense of resistance, and soon some people became popular.

Not everyone was afraid, and a dozen young and strong Siamese people were extremely unhappy, and they looked at the bodyguards who were chasing the workers, and they had already clenched their fists, and the anger in their eyes could make people feel burning.

"Don't go too far!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"The boys have always been so excessive!" The bodyguards' response was particularly crisp, and the two bodyguards even beat around a worker who had fallen to the ground, and the worker rolled around on the ground to dodge, and the sound of pleading and screaming was particularly bleak, but it did not stop the two bodyguards, but ushered in more intensive whipping and laughter.

"Why fight with them!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and then three or four people pounced.

At this time, in fact, even if only one person rushes forward, it can mobilize everyone's common hatred.

"This is not treating people as human beings at all, beating them!" Others are fanning the flames.

"Beat them up!" More people flocked to it.

Five or six bodyguards may be arrogant in the face of a group of weak people, but in the face of a group of angry people, it is really useless.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the five or six bodyguards were overwhelmed by the angry crowd.

The Englishman in the carriage finally couldn't sit still, and one of the Englishmen pulled out the pistol he was carrying.

Bang!

Sharp gunshots rang out, but it was not the worker who fell, but the Englishman who had just pulled out his pistol.

The scene finally got out of hand. (To be continued.) )
