184 is not a one-way person!
After disbanding, back in the dormitory, the anxious Wang Dashan unpacked it, it was bulging, and when he opened it, he saw two sets of blue overalls, a pair of leather boots, a leather hat, a glove, a lighter, a razor, and a chocolate.
Hurriedly put these equipment on his body, Wang Dashan trembled, and kowtowed his feet proudly, "Look, this body, clothes, hats, gloves, and cowhide shoes are much more aura than the soldiers of Yuan Datou I have seen!" ”
Wang Dashan took aim with a gun and pointed at Zhong Xiu, and found that Zhong Xiu ignored him, which was a little boring.
"What is this thing for?" Wang Dashan saw Zhong Xiu staring at the chocolate in his hand in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Look at what is written on this iron bump?" I can't understand the chicken intestines of foreigners! ”
Zhong Xiu put the chocolate back in his arms, glanced at Wang Dashan, who looked like a human, and replied: "This is not called an iron pimple, it is called a lighter!" The brand on it is called zippo, and the Chinese name is Zhibao lighter, which is a good thing, and only senior officials in China can afford to use it. ”
Zhong Xiu gently broke the lighter, a crisp metal sound, the flame slowly rose, the blue flame seemed to return to the gradually dilapidated home, a skinny man reclined on the pit, holding this long smoking gun, while sucking the smoke from the tube, the air was filled with the smell of intoxication, the dim light reflected the deep face, and a sickly expression of intoxication and contentment!
Alas, a woman standing next to him stood in the doorway, watching the scene with concern, shaking her head, covering the eyes of a child who was waist-high with him, and then turned away heavily.
Since he was sensible, such scenes have often appeared in Zhong Xiu's life. A well-to-do family was gradually corrupted by his depraved father. Everything was taken and pawned, only to return the excitement and satisfaction of the man's breath, but to starve the mother and son.
The former young grandmother had to help others wash clothes, the once little master endured humiliation to go to school, and once when he knew that the ruthless man wanted to take the woman in the family to "pawn", a heartfelt anger made the 17-year-old boy "kill" the incorrigible addict father, but unfortunately not only did not succeed, but was driven out.
Later, he wandered to the recruitment bureau opened by the British, and entered the Chinese labor camp with the tide. On the way to San Francisco, the long journey, coupled with the oppressive atmosphere on the ship, once made Zhong Xiu, a discouraged teenager, desperate, and a few days ago, for him, jumping into the sea was a great temptation.
Don't know what's going on at home? I hope my mother will be okay when I go in the future, otherwise those damn guys will not want to end well! Zhong Xiu thought.
With a "ding" sound, Zhong Xiu took back the lighter and put it in his pocket. This is a good habit, and Zhong Xiu at this moment didn't know that it was this lighter that helped him block a bullet later.
After a while, Zhang Bang came first, and he said to Zhong Xiu: "Ah Xiu, I know that you have gone to school and know a lot. That's right, we are going to cooperate with the Chinese volunteer group to build a camp school in the Chinese workers' camp, and when we are fine, we will organize everyone to learn Braille, learn two sentences of foreign language, and when the time comes, we can also communicate with people when we go to Europe, but we can't be teachers here, so I hope you will also participate. Zhang Bang looked at Zhong Xiu expectantly, and said, "At the same time, if you are a teacher, the treatment is equivalent to that of a translator, and there is a subsidy of 10 oceans per month." ”
"Good! I'm participating! Zhong Xiu didn't think about it, and agreed. He knew that the treatment of translators in the Chinese workers' camp was almost the best, they didn't have to do coolies, and they got a lot of money, so why didn't they do it?
"That's it!" Zhang Bangxian left happily. In fact, the subsidy for the teachers came from the Nanyang Foundation, which was preparing to recruit the prestigious people in the camp through the guò school, and these people were slowly leading them to become a supplementary force in the Nanyang cause.
"Literacy is to hold it! I don't have such a good life, I didn't have the money to go to school when I was a child, I either did farm work or hunted after adults, or, Ah Xiu, you also taught me to write? Wang Dashan said.
"Okay!"
San Francisco, Anliangtang Branch.
Chen Tianming was crossing around the room, the clear yellow light shining on his Chinese face, his brows were furrowed, as if he was entangled in something, and the tea on the coffee table was already cold.
In the past two years, by virtue of holding shares in the US-China Trading Company, the San Francisco branch of Anliangtang has made a lot of money, and some old people in the hall saw that it was profitable and began to covet the US-China Trading Company, and frequently interfered in the affairs of the US-China Trading Company, but each time they were blocked by Zeng Liming.
Not only that, after two capital injections into the Meihua Trading Company, An Liangtang's shares have been diluted from the original 30 to less than 10, and it is even more difficult to meddle in the Meihua Trading Company.
This made some people in the hall even more dissatisfied with the Meihua Trading Company, thinking that the other party crossed the river and demolished the bridge and wanted to annex the shares of An Liangtang. To put it bluntly, it is red-eyed.
"Those guys don't know the height of the sky, and they are holding back in Chinatown, and they don't know that the US-China Trading Company is something they can move? The eyes are red, and the ability to be blushing can be red! Now An Liangtang can't do without Meihua, not Meihua can't do without An Liangtang, if you fall out with the other party, it is estimated that you are still hurt, no, you can't let those people mess around! ”
Chen Tianming thought. Last month, one of the leaders of An Liangtang tried to force Chinese immigrants organized by Meihua to join Anliangtang, but was stopped by Meihua, and An Liangtang was very dissatisfied, believing that Meihua was too deceitful.
In terms of immigration, the US-China Trading Company has always been very strict, and from this year onwards, An Liangtang will not be allowed to get involved in domestic immigrants, which makes An Liangtang, which has always been based on Chinese immigrants, very uncomfortable, although every year An Liangtang can feed the gang from the dividends of the US-China Company, but it is accustomed to seeing Chinese immigrants as its own forbidden An Liangtang, and gangs like An Liangtang cannot accept the embarrassing fact that the US-China Company "eats alone" no matter what.
If it is said that because of the contradiction over the right to control immigration, the two sides are secretly competing and constantly dirty, then last week, the seizure of a batch of goods by Meihua Company in An Liangtang put the contradiction between the two sides on the table.
Because there were hundreds of kilograms of opium on board, according to the agreement between the two sides, An Liangtang was not allowed to use a piece of the Meihua Company to engage in opium-related activities, and once discovered, the Meihua Company had the right to seize it, and it would also investigate the relevant responsible persons.
In fact, this article has not been implemented thoroughly, from the beginning because of the relationship between An Liangtang, the Meihua company turned a blind eye to some small amounts of private goods, if the other party is excessive, it will warn it, but basically it can still cooperate amicably.
But after entering 1917, the attitude of the Meihua Company hardened, and this time it seized the largest batch of goods of the year from An Liangtang, just like stepping on the tail of An Liangtang, so An Liangtang was very popular!
This business is not Chen Tianming's responsibility, he is reluctant to engage in this kind of business, but it is not easy to object, because of this tradition, although in addition to the Meihua Trading Company, An Liangtang has been influenced by Situ Nan, and has also invested in many other industries and made a lot of money, but there will always be no one who thinks that there is less money.
The change in the attitude of the Meihua Company made Chen Tianming secretly vigilant, and the current situation made him very entangled, because the development speed of the Meihua Company far exceeded that of An Liangtang, and he knew that if it continued like this, An Liangtang would decline sooner or later, either dissolved or reduced to a vassal of the Meihua Company!
Moreover, now it seems that the Meihua company is getting more and more?? Is it like some people in the church said, to go to war with the United States and China? Owning the U.S.-China Trading Company? Chen Tianming gave up this idea without even thinking about it, it was too unrealistic.
If it was two years ago, if the US-China Trading Company was absorbed by force alone, Chen Tianming would still be a little sure, but is US-China just a trading company? Not to mention the young man behind Meihua, I shudder just thinking of Chen Tianming, a security consulting company in Los Angeles.
Although Los Angeles and San Francisco are a little far away, he still knows some things, Situ Yong, the number one master in the hall, spent a short time in the security company a few years ago, and knows that the security company has a large number of masters.
Last year, there was a big case in the San Francisco underworld, the disappearance of the local leader of the Ku Klux Klan, and the death of super thug Rocky, who caused a sensation, but then disappeared.
Chen Tianming had no clues, and vaguely felt that it was done by the gang in Los Angeles, and only those people would have such ability, but like most people, there was no evidence, just suspicion in his heart.
In fact, few people in California have ever heard of a monstrous security company in Los Angeles because it's never revealed.
"Brother Chen, is there anything wrong with me?" Situ Yong walked in with a calm face, in the past two years, the frizzy and aggressive previous year had become a little more mature.
"Situ Nan is coming to San Francisco, you know?". Chen Tianming said.
"Brother Nan is coming to San Francisco?" Situ Yong said in surprise, but seeing that Chen Tianming's face was a little stern, Situ Yong realized something, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, are you embarrassed?" ”
"It's a little difficult, you say, that, what kind of person is Situ Nan? You see, Meihua is constantly squeezing us out now, what do they want to do? Chen Tianming asked.
"Oh! That's it! Actually, I'm not too familiar with Situ Nan, how can I say it? When Uncle (Situ Nan Meiden) took me to Los Angeles to meet him, it was a very coincidence that he and Uncle were fellow villagers, so I also called him Brother Nan. He was pretty good to me, I spent some time in the security company and then came back. Later, I went to the mainland again, and I haven't seen Situ Nan for two years.
As for what kind of person he is, it's hard to say, but in short, he is a very powerful person. But at that time, Uncle said that he and we are not all the way! Situ Yong said.
"Not all the way???" Chen Tianming nodded, as if he had an understanding, he thought: The other party is a regular large company, and we are a gang, so naturally we are not all the way. Perhaps, all of them won't be mixed up with gangs, right?
Chen Tianming suddenly thought of the domestic revolution, a large number of An Liangtang gangs participated in the revolution under the call of Sun Yat-sen, but every time they made achievements, An Liangtang people would be excluded by others.
