Chapter 487: The Nation of Hope

The buzz of Manhattan is an absolute blow to the people of this era.

At least, in the eyes of the merchants who traveled between Manhattan and Europe, the Arab world, and the African continent, there was no port or city in this world comparable to that of Manhattan.

Not even Alexandria, one of the most bustling and lively cities in the Mediterranean.

At the berth of the port of Manhattan, there are Portuguese and French Galen ships docked.

The poles that lowered the sails stood so densely packed that you couldn't see the end at all.

Various accents come and go on the docks, mixed with some weird Mandarin.

Countless laborers carried down the goods on the merchant ship, neatly stacked them in the demarcated area of the wharf, and then carefully laid out rainproof cloths.

There are also many laborers who are moving the goods from the neat cargo stacking place to the merchant ship warehouse little by little.

These laborers are careful when carrying goods.

It can be seen that these merchants who employ them must have paid for the insurance of the goods.

That person has money and people to eliminate disasters, and since they have been paid, then these laborers will definitely do their best.

Otherwise, I'm sorry for such a high salary.

Besides, if they don't do their best, the little supervisors won't let them go.

Here, there is a penalty for doing something wrong.

Of course, as long as you follow the rules, then your life here will be fine.

Don't look at the hard work, but the income is still good.

And since the price of the labor industry was monopolized by the gangsters, and their own service quality has also kept up, basically the income of every labor worker has doubled.

None of them could have imagined that the gangsters not only did not squeeze their income, but also carried them to fulfill their promise of increasing income.

If this were to be done on the European continent, it would be impossible.

This made all the laborers who were begging for a living at the dock completely convinced.

Of course. No one has to pay a little bit of a monthly management fee, and they have to be trained from time to time, so no one is going to object to it, right?

After all, it's good for you.

Serve with a smile, the hirer is God, they are our food and clothing.

This is the slogan of the gang managers.

It's better to say it's not so much a gangster than a company.

It's just that if this company infringes on his interests, then the means he uses are very violent.

In the entire Manhattan docks in the labor industry, it is basically impossible for anyone else to interfere.

Plus the support of the intelligence services. Monopoly has become inevitable.

But the laborers and businessmen got the benefits, so who would manage and monopolize it, they didn't care at all.

Things in the world are so realistic, and what they see is the benefits and benefits that this kind of management brings to them.

When the gangs did not have a monopoly, there were often fights here among the laborers for the right to load and unload goods.

Even the strict management of the police department here in Manhattan can't stop them from fighting for this kind of thing.

It can be seen that people can really die for the sake of profit.

Not anymore.

You don't have to fight each other. It's already under the same organization, isn't it?

For those merchants, the benefits are even greater.

First of all, although those laborers used to do things, they always accidentally caused unnecessary damage to the goods. Inflict some losses on yourself.

But you can't deal with these people, and if you do, then you're going to be out of luck.

Your cargo is unmanned, even if you barely find someone. Then what happens next will also make you feel painful.

After a few steps, the goods will fall, and the fragile goods inside will rot and not look good.

It's not impossible for something like this to happen.

So, the merchants at that time. Most of the time, I don't want to offend these workers.

For such a thing, Zhao Hongyu and they don't have a good solution.

After all, many times some unspoken rules will appear, because there are a lot of interests involved.

In the end, this problem was solved by Wang Shan.

Today's laborers, with their smiles and considerate service, have changed the impression of those businessmen on them.

Of course, after all, the price paid by these businessmen is not 30% higher than before, isn't it?

On the pier, some clever children will even wholesale some drinks from some taverns to sell at the pier. Those drinks, known as sodas, are sold wholesale for two copper plates per cup, but when they are sold at the docks, they can be sold for five copper plates per cup.

Therefore, some children who have a little money in their hands and are still working here will take out this drink while soliciting customers to make some extra money.

Most of the bosses have turned a blind eye to these children's practices.

After all, these children are also saving money for their future lives, aren't they?

These bosses of Chinese descent have also inherited the unique kindness of Chinese people.

And their kindness, of course, has been rewarded.

These children, who are still young now, were very loyal to their employers when the Song Empire began a vigorous voyage of national trade in the future.

Because of the precociousness of these children, they can clearly feel the kindness of their bosses.

Compare people's hearts with people's hearts, how can these children who have not learned badly be moved.

Most of them have wandered in Europe.

When they were in Europe, no one saw them as human beings.

Sometimes, boys and girls are bullied by the church and some noble lords.

Only here in Manhattan, with the kind bosses of Chinese genes, did they truly experience respect and kindness.

"Sir, do you need a guide? You're the first to come, you're very embarrassed, I've been here for a long time. I've never seen you before, Manhattan is huge, if you don't know the way for the first time, I only need a dragon ocean and I can serve you, whether it's business or hotel and pub entertainment, I know it. ”

"Whether you need to sell goods or buy goods, I can provide you with a detailed reference, and if you can't trust me, our agency can also serve you......"

"Do you want to stay in the hotel? Our store is clean and hygienic, and it is very close to the Ministry of Commerce and the dock. Convenient for you to travel and discuss business, it is definitely the best choice for your stay in Manhattan. ”

"Sir, let's eat, our restaurant has the most delicious food, and it is very famous here in Manhattan. If you are too troublesome, we also provide a food delivery service, you just need to leave an address and the name of the dish you need, and we will deliver it to you in the shortest possible time. ”

Such scenes can often be seen on the docks of Manhattan.

And the one who did it. Most of them are boys and girls.

Adults in general, they're embarrassed to do this.

The European businessmen who came to Manhattan for the first time were really unaccustomed to such enthusiastic solicitation methods.

But the kids were very discerning. We don't keep talking when the guest is impatient.

In many cases, they will make their goals interested in the shortest possible time, and then quickly and briefly explain the advantages of their store. And then let the target get himself into the store.

However, they don't exaggerate, and they often talk about the real advantages of their stores.

Because that's what those bosses ask for.

False propaganda is unacceptable.

Manhattan today. It's as lively as it was in the fifties and sixties.

Of course, this is only on the port side of Manhattan.

If you leave the port, except for the business district, the rest of the place is not so lively and very deserted.

After all, the rest of Manhattan is residential.

So, what are you going to do with that excitement?

Zhao Hongyu's overall planning for Manhattan is all imitation of the model of the United States in later generations.

Residential areas want to be quiet and covered with forests.

They won't follow the example of later generations in China, build skyscrapers and cut down all the trees.

In addition to the merchant ships that carried Portugal and France, there were also imperial merchant ships coming from the Caribbean.

Although the number of merchant ships is not very large, it also proves that the empire also began to have merchant ships, appeared at sea and began to operate.

These merchant ships were carrying fresh fruit from the Caribbean Sea.

After all, Manhattan has just experienced winter and spring, and there is still no fruit.

It's a different story in the Caribbean.

The climate is spring-like all year round, and fresh fruits from the tropics are everywhere.

Therefore, merchant ships in the Caribbean will bring several batches of fruits to the market every month.

Not to mention, because of the high income, the desire of people in Manhattan to spend has also increased.

Although the price of fruit is a bit expensive, it will still sell out.

Many Europeans will buy an apple or dragon fruit every once in a while and bring it home to their children.

Even those underage children at the Manhattan pier can't help but use their hard-earned money to buy a fruit or two to satisfy their hunger.

Some of these children have never even tasted fruit.

It is only here in Manhattan that they can rely on their own income to buy a fruit to taste for themselves.

If it were Europe, it would be absolutely impossible.

In spring, everything looks alive.

And the hearts of the people here are also full of longing and expectation for a happy life.

But each of them knows that in this kingdom, if they can struggle, then everything can be achieved.

Because there is no oppression here...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
