Chapter 33 The situation has changed, and it will not work if you don't fight

(Dear friends, don't forget to recommend and collect!) )

"What? Strike? What do the overseers eat? ”

"yes, we paid so much money to support them, don't these bastards know what to do?"

"No, the situation is more complicated this time, according to Jack's miscellaneous words, the striking workers didn't do any damage, they just went on strike, so if you shoot or something, it will become strict."

In a hotel in Santa Fe, a group of polite whites in tuxedos, white shirts, bow ties, and bowties gathered at a table to discuss the strike led by Mr. Li. Judging by their clothing, they were all gentlemen, rich people, that is, they should be the owners of this silver mine.

"No sabotage?" At this time, one of the relatively young white men spoke, and apparently, this unbroken strike caught his attention.

"yes, they just took signs with all kinds of slogans on them, and they walked around there." The person who reported the incident just now said the situation, but there was a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

"Hahaha...... Monkey tricks? Hahaha...... "Obviously, the boss is much more unscrupulous, and one of the 'gentlemen' laughs very exaggeratedly.

"Hahaha...... Are all those stray eggs gone? Do they really think that doing so will make us comply? ”

"I've met workers before, and they're going to at least burn the goods, or dump the tea like they did decades ago, and they've got to smash something, right?"

Obviously, these bosses have been on the battlefield for a long time, and the workers have not made trouble once or twice.

"Gentlemen!" But at this time, the young man's face became solemn, "Haven't you thought that the workers have not done any damage now, so legally speaking, we have no reason to whip them and shoot them?" ”

"This ......"

"So what?"

Some gentlemen thought of the strictness of this question, but some were still so hard-mouthed.

The young gentleman smiled helplessly, "What can it be?" We need more money now, we need more silver ore, and if they all strike, what are we going to do? Gentlemen! Can't you see the strictness in this? ”

"......" The gentlemen who had been laughing loudly just now shut up, and they realized the power of the strike at this time.

"Damn it, that bastard Bill! It is because of him that we are in such a predicament! ”

"That's right! That's the bastard, he cheated us out of our money! DAMM-HIM! ”

Scammed out of money? So it seems that because of this, these miners treat the miners harshly?

"I've checked it before." The young man spoke, "That Bill should be his pseudonym, and his real name should be Rockefeller!" He was a habitual liar, and he usually wandered around the east as a medicinal herb merchant, but he didn't expect him to come back to the west. Well, but we don't have enough evidence. ”

Rockefeller?

This surname, if Li Mengyang hears it, he will definitely be surprised, it's too subversive, right?

But then, there's something even more interesting.

"That bastard, if you catch him, you have to look good!" A gang of mine owners was resentful.

The young man brought the topic back again, "We can't be in a hurry about that liar, it's not easy to catch him, that guy is very cunning. What we need to be wary of now is a strike on the mines, and if it is not handled well, then our debt will become even bigger. ”

Debt? This should be a financial issue, but at this time, the person who reported the matter spoke.

"Mr. Leland, in fact, we don't need to worry too much, because the mine is still working, hehehe, don't forget, we still have a lot of Chinese workers, these guys are very obedient."

"Aha! That's great! ”

"This, that ore ......"

Yes, maybe it's still working, but this production is ......

"There are about 100 Chinese workers, and the production has really suffered, but I think the Irish can't afford it."

"Are those Irish really unaffordable?" The Mr. Leland asked again.

"So what do you say?" Now the older gentlemen are eager to hear what the younger ones have to say.

"I think we should take the initiative!"

"Huh? This ......"

yes, what's the way to take the initiative?

"It's simple." Mr. Leland smiled and said, "Since the Chinese workers are still willing to continue working, then the best thing we can do now is to buy more Chinese workers!" ”

Hey, that's a ...... idea.

"Great!"

"Good way, this way, those bastards are useless no matter how they strike!"

The minds of the businessmen are spinning, and they have found a solution to the strike, but there is a question here, that is, how can the Chinese workers get them?

"Gentlemen! We need some more financing, we'll have to borrow some more, but I promise, I, Leland Stanford, swear to God! I will personally go to California and bring a large number of Chinese workers to you! ”

Leland Stanford?

If Li Mengyang could witness this silver mine shareholders' meeting, then he would definitely be shocked to drop his jaw, maybe the Rockefeller before was probably not the oil tycoon later, but this Leland Stanford, that definitely didn't run away, right? This guy is the railway predator of the future!

Of course, Li Mengyang can't see it, he is thinking about another question now, which is also very important, that is, what does Jack's table reveal?

Jack used foul language as soon as he came up, and then he bared his teeth and claws, but no matter how you looked at it, I felt that his lustful and inward-looking appearance was exposed.

Let's just say that the man Jack pointed at the gun, in the group of strikers, that person is not an important person, and he is not a free man who can earn wages, he is also a contract worker, that is, he has no wages, but he will not be long before the contract is ended.

This reflects a problem, that is, Jack is not stupid, he knows the value of these workers, killing the laborers, it is equivalent to making the mine lose property, maybe Jack can be greedy, can be ruthless, but he can't let the mine property suffer, because his saving is to ensure the safety of the property.

Therefore, Jack didn't dare to directly threaten laborers with relatively high value, such as Li Mengyang, who was bought at a high price.

The so-called, rat trap, that's it.

In addition, it can also be seen that Jack, the foreman of the contractor, has no experience in dealing with this kind of incident, all he thinks of is fighting and killing, but this kind of action does not pose any threat to the strike, and will only make the workers more united.

Moreover, the workers did not destroy anything, but did not go to work, and there were many of them, quite united, and the supervisors who usually showed off their might were not easy to do.

In this way, our strike should develop in a good direction, and Li Mengyang should have made the right move!

"Brother Zhou! I come to ask you again, join us on strike! ”

Li Mengyang came to Zhou Dashan again, hoping that their family could join the strike, and only if everyone stopped doing it, that would be the best.

"Li Tou, Xiao Shanzi promised you before, but he was young and ignorant. I beg you, don't let our family get involved in this, okay? I beg you! Zhou Dashan knelt down with a puff as he spoke.

Zhou Dashan, such a man, actually knelt down for Li Mengyang because of this matter at this time!

"Oops! Brother Zhou! Don't do that! "Where did Li Mengyang suffer this? Hurry up and help.

"Li Tou, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg ......"

Not only did he kneel, but he also kowtowed like pounding garlic......

Li Mengyang felt a chill in his heart, this is the people under the feudal imperial power!

Seriously, Li Mengyang has a lot of truths, and he really wants the good of the Chinese workers and strives for more for them, but now they are praying to themselves, the person who wants to save them, not to save them! …… Ay~

Ten days later, things had changed.

"I've fucking had enough! We're going to have to give those Chinese workers some colors! ”

"No, I said no!"

"Bastard! It's because we listen to you that we're so hungry now! ”

"Fack YOU! Yankees! It's all the same as those bastards! ”

"Damn it! We can't listen to you anymore! ”

Or in that mine, a group of people are arguing, and Li Mengyang is simply a group of Confucians in the middle, oh, no, these Irish people are all dirty.

The strike is now running into a problem, that is, the mine owners and the overseers have not reacted at all, and the striking workers, they have prepared some resources, that is, food, are running out of food, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and now it is the depths of winter, and the expected negotiations have not taken place at all.

The Irish have found the reason for this qiē, and that is the Chinese workers, yes, the bastards who don't participate in the strike.

"We can't go violent! In that case, we're going to give the overseers a handle who can accuse us of sabotaging the mine! The law will support them! Li Mengyang is right.

"NONO, WE WON'T LISTEN TO YOU, WE HAVE TO DO THOSE CHINESE WORKERS, DON'T THEY WANT TO STRIKE? Okay, we'll beat them until they can't work! ”

"Hahaha! I can't resist it for a long time! ”

"Yes, that's it!"

It turns out that the Irish led by Brady want to deal with Chinese laborers, and they are violent means, but isn't it strange that this goal of these guys is this?

Yes, fundamentally, these workers are so hungry and cold, it must be caused by the mine owners and overseers, why don't they deal with these people?

"Those Chinese workers are dragging us back, and I think we should give them a little bit of power!" Even Matthew, who took the initiative to come to Li Mengyang, saw it this way, so what about the others?

"Brother Li, I understand what you mean, but ......" Yang Guangren first said to Li Mengyang, and then he stood up and said loudly: "Although I am also a Chinese worker, now I want to cut off relations with them!" If you want to fight, I'm on it too! ”

After such a long time, Yang Guangren's English can be spoken.

"That's right! We don't bother to be in their company! ”

Not only Yang Guangren, but also other Chinese workers who attended the strike meeting also stood up to speak.

What a strange scene!

"Everyone! Gentlemen! Li Mengyang used his last strength, "Give me another chance, let me convince them, give me another chance!" (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
