Chapter 25 Chinese Laborers
After the foreman apologized, he immediately lost his use value, and then was kicked away by Boss Yang, and then the goods were polite and polite, took off his hat and bowed in Chinese: "I'm really sorry, I can't teach the contemptible, and my subordinates are too rude, I hope the girl doesn't mind."
After saying that, the thing looked up.
"Huh?" Only then did he find that the beautiful girl was gone, and he was replaced by a middle-aged uncle with a scruffy beard.
"Sir is polite, we should be punished for making mistakes, and we deserve to be punished for making mistakes, and we don't deserve the courtesy of a noble person like you." The middle-aged man said lightly, and then pulled the little girl who was hiding behind him and left.
Boss Yang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and showed a bright smile at the little girl who secretly looked back at him, and the little girl quickly turned back very shyly.
"Mr. Yang, the man is the leader of this group of Chinese laborers, and the girl is his daughter, they were all driven here from California, and they are now living in that shack because they have no place to live." Robert, a British employee in charge of the construction of the site, leaned over and whispered.
"How can people live in such poor conditions? We are not those black-hearted businessmen, as an employer with a conscience, we must always care about the lives of workers!" Boss Yang said solemnly, as if he had just seen the dilapidated shed.
"Understood, I'll solve their accommodation problem right away." Robert said knowingly.
"Prepare some other gifts, if you can meet your compatriots in this foreign country, you have to go over to visit, and I haven't been back for many years." Boss Yang said with emotion.
This little thing is naturally easy to do, after the day of work, he was like a secretary of the town party committee who visited the lonely and widowed old man, with a high face and kindness into the shed where the Chinese workers lived, his identity needless to say, now the Chinese in Texas basically do not know the noble status of the compatriot, such a big man to the door is naturally indispensable for a while.
It's not the first time this kind of thing has been done, the Pingjin SAR parliamentarians visited the voters to canvass votes or he brought it up, and now it's natural to get back to the old business, send some oil, send some noodles, and then send some candy to the children, and then shush the cold and warm to show care, which has already made the humiliated Chinese workers grateful, and even the little girl's father let down his vigilance and slowly talked to Yang Feng about their past.
According to him, these Chinese workers came to the United States more than 20 years ago.
As soon as he heard this, Yang Feng immediately understood their identities, this Tama was a bunch of long-haired remnants.
They originally came to the United States as a pig seller, first in San Francisco, building railroads, mining, logging, and even panning for gold, anyway, they did all the hard work, because the wage requirements were low, and the work was diligent, so the factory owners liked to use Chinese laborers, and as a result, they aroused the hatred of the white workers, and they couldn't stay anymore, so they had to wander around in the United States, where there was work to do, and they could not go on, and they had been struggling to live for more than 20 years.
Of course, Boss Yang was indignant about what happened to them, in fact, the main force of Chinese exclusion in the United States in this era was the wuchan class, on the contrary, those capitalists were very welcome to cheap Chinese workers, and after the introduction of the anti-Chinese bill, they were even boycotted by the factory owners, but in the end they did not stand up to the votes of politicians, he had no interest in improving the treatment of Chinese workers in the United States, and he would not have any good feelings about Chinese workers who grabbed their jobs with low wages, he was concerned about how to use these people, Especially after hearing that many of them have done gold panning.
"Master Han, it's not a problem for you to drift in the United States like this now, I am preparing to invest in Western Australia, and I need a large number of workers, I wonder if you are interested in working for me?" Yang Feng said to the little girl's father, Han Fang.
"Mr. Yang, you see that we are all dragging our families now, and no matter how many miles we go to Western Australia, I am afraid we will not be able to withstand such a toss." The South Korean side is not stupid, fooling us to Western Australia, in case you fail to invest and throw us there, how can we live?
"You can rest assured at this point, first of all, I will sign a contract with you for a certain period of time to work, you can sign it for as many years as you want, secondly, the contract will stipulate the amount of wages and payment methods, and the compensation after the breach of contract, and thirdly, all those who are willing to go will get a settling-in fee, if you agree, the family can follow me to Europe, I still have a large part of the industry in Europe, and it is very simple to arrange dozens of female workers, of course, if you are not willing to go to Europe, you can also work in my industry in the United States." Yang Feng said.
Looking at their surprised eyes, the creature continued: "Of course, after arriving in Western Australia, you must completely obey my arrangement, and you must do whatever you want, even if it is murder and arson, it is very chaotic there, and it is close to the natives, I think this kind of thing will definitely need you to do."
Now the Chinese workers are relieved, of course pies will not fall from the sky, since they are asked to do the work of their lives, then this kind of treatment is normal.
"Mr. Yang, how much can you pay for the settling-in fee?" Han Fang asked, he is really a long-haired remnant, he has done this kind of work, so naturally he will not mind killing people and setting fires or something, but it depends on the price.
"I'll let a dedicated financial person talk to you about this, but it's also graded, one price for family members to arrange work, another price for those who don't need to arrange work, one price for arranging work in Europe, and another price for arranging work in the United States." Yang Feng said that he is not a philanthropist, and he can give these Chinese workers the same price as white people, but no more.
"Mr. Yang, we'll consider it." Han Fang nodded, this is normal, a big boss like him naturally disdains to bargain with coolies like himself.
"Another point is that I will build a school in Europe where all the children of all the people who work for me can go there for free, and if they have good grades, they can even be sent to university." Yang Feng continued.
"What?" At this moment, all the Chinese workers can't sit still, and they are working hard so that the next generation can get out of the sea of suffering. In the United States, they are discriminated against, and no school is even willing to let Chinese children go to school, and now there is such a good thing, which feels unreal for a while.
"However, when they graduate, they have to repay my investment in them in the same way that they worked for me." Boss Yang said lightly, after finishing speaking, he got up and left, this plan he has been brewing for a long time, but he has not found a suitable investment target, in the Republic of China time and space his American aviation school, but for him to send thousands of excellent pilots.
The remaining group of Chinese laborers are destined to be unable to sleep tonight.
After leaving the shed, Yang Feng almost bumped into the little girl who was hiding outside and eavesdropping, looking at her shy eyes, this thing tried to suppress the heart that was about to move, put on a smile that he thought was the most charming and just wanted to go over to talk, suddenly the little girl opened her mouth and screamed in horror as if she had seen a poisonous snake, and at the same time raised her hand to his back.
Boss Yang is also a person who has experienced the battlefield many times, and his reaction speed is extremely sharp, almost at the moment when the gun rang out behind him, he grabbed the beautiful girl's small waist and took her to the ground all of a sudden, and the bullet flew over his head.
On the construction site, he had dozens of bodyguards, and as soon as the gunshots rang out, they immediately pulled out their pistols and ran over to protect him in the middle, and the dense bullets hit the branches and leaves of the trees where the attackers were hiding behind, and soon there was a scream, Yang Feng pressed the beautiful girl tightly in his arms, until the bodyguards rushed over and dragged out the attacker who had been beaten into a honeycomb, and then he reluctantly let go of the warm body in his arms.
The identity of the attacker was quickly ascertained, the son of a rebel who was killed by the National Guard in the Longview rebellion, who was the chief director behind this incident, but anyone with a little brain can guess who will go if they don't seek revenge on him?
"It's terrible, I can't believe that in this civilized country, this kind of murder can happen in broad daylight." In the Texas governor's office, Boss Yang had a severely devastated expression and slapped the governor's desk in a rage.
His Excellency the Governor looked at him with an embarrassed expression, and he was also very annoyed when he talked about this matter, knowing that this guy is now his big benefactor, and he has earned 100,000 US dollars in the land business alone, not to mention that there is a series of investment plans that are being carried out, if Yang Feng dies, then all this will be in vain.
"Mr. Yang, don't worry, I promise that nothing like this will happen again." His Excellency the Governor hurriedly said.
"Guaranteed? Hum! I might as well rely on myself with you cops!" Boss Yang sneered and said: "Obviously, the number of security guards in Ambrera is still too small, not enough to ensure my safety, let alone protect my property in Texas, I have decided to double it again, and the number of employees will be increased to at least five hundred."
The main reason why he said this is that some time ago, the Texas State Assembly had a lot of criticism about a Chinese having a private armed force in Texas, and in order to avoid suspicion, Ambrera only recruited more than 200 employees, and now it is the right time to take the opportunity to expand.
His Excellency the Governor doesn't have much to say, anyway, the law does not limit the number of employees in private security companies, since he is willing to recruit more, he can do whatever he wants, as for how to ensure the safety of Boss Yang, this point is actually not difficult to solve, just monitor the relatives of those who were killed in Longview's rebellion, in other words, His Excellency the Governor is also very worried, and the next person to be shot may be himself.
