Chapter 263: Underground and Above
"Don't shoot!" The man said suddenly, and as soon as the words fell, the man disappeared before their eyes.
Tang Anshu was stunned and looked at the others for a long time, and the others also looked at him with great doubts.
What the hell is going on?
A few Ming soldiers who suddenly appeared bizarrely, a watch that they had never seen before, and a person who was dressed very strangely, what the hell was going on?
All the people were stunned, and they stood there staring at each other.
Tang Anshu came back to his senses: "That person just now was talking about not shooting, right?" ”
Everyone else nodded silently, and indeed, they all heard the words "don't shoot" very clearly.
"Just wait a little bit, maybe we'll know what's going on." After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he looked at everyone again, "Wait a minute, if that person appears again, don't shoot, see what he has to say." ”
The rest of them nodded silently, but their palms were sweaty, because it was so weird.
Time passed slowly, minute by minute, but the vibration did not appear again, and after waiting for another hour, everyone's nervous mood gradually relaxed.
Xionghuang stepped forward and said, "Let's not wait here, let's find a way to the next area." ”
Tang Anshu said: "You guys go and find it, I'll stay here, what if that person appears again?" I had a feeling that that person had the answers we were looking for. ”
Xionghuang asked, "I'll take a look at the map." ”
Tang Anshu took out the map, and Xionghuang looked at it carefully: "It's not clearly marked, but since a ship is drawn here, it means that the method of going to the next area must be hidden in a certain ship, it is too dangerous here, we can't find it separately." ”
Tang Anshu said: "Yexin stays here with me, you go and look for it, find one or two first, and then come back to rest, we are all too tired." ”
Xionghuang hesitated and said, "If you don't hurry up, it will be bad if Hu Shen and them come from another road and catch up with us." ”
Tang Anshu shook his head and said: "It's so weird here, even if it's Hu Shen, you have to take it step by step, it's not that simple." ”
Xionghuang had to nod and turn away with the others, while Raimaru turned back three times in one step, always wanting to see the mysterious woman in white again.

Yongcheng Xingang Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, Zhang Fuzhi was sitting in the position, but now Jiang Boqi was sitting, and the person sitting next to him was not Li Songming, but Ma Sanyuan, the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce proposed by Jiang Boqi.
Ma Sanyuan was originally the owner of the largest money village in Yongcheng, since the rise of Zhang Fuzhi's family, the Ma family's business plummeted, and finally became Zhang Fuzhi's vassal, so Ma Sanyuan has always hated Zhang Fuzhi, and Zhang Fuzhi also wanted to put him to death many times, and every time he escaped death because of Jiang Boqi's secret help.
Therefore, after Zhang Fuzhi's death, Jiang Boqi took his place, and it was logical to re-support Ma Sanyuan, after all, he could not monopolize most of the business in Yongcheng alone, at least on the bright side, he still managed his own business.
At this time, Li Songming was sitting in the corner, smoking and drinking tea like a retired old man, and he didn't ask anything.
He is now relaxed, the Japanese are no longer looking for him, Zhang Fuzhi is also dead, and his remaining little business does not pose any threat to Jiang Boqi, the second brother, as long as he keeps to himself, he can spend his lower body safely.
Therefore, Li Songming is very satisfied with the status quo and has no intention of struggling at all.
Jiang Boqi glanced at the businessmen sitting below and asked, "I summoned here today, there is nothing else, I just want to ask about everyone's plans for the future." ”
The merchant below whispered, and no one knew what he meant. Is it a threat? Could it be that Jiang Boqi is more ruthless than when Zhang Fuzhi was there? Zhang Fuzhi also lent money and collected profits at best, shouldn't he want to bring other transactions under his command?
Jiang Boqi knew everyone's worries: "Don't get me wrong, I mean, now there are wars everywhere, and the revolutionary army is about to hit our Yongcheng, I heard a few days ago that the revolutionary army has sent people to Shanghai to contact the people of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium, but no one has ever come to our Yongcheng." ”
Only then did everyone understand that Jiang Boqi's concern was that the revolutionary army chose a certain businessman in the Chamber of Commerce instead of him.
One of the businessmen said with interest: "President Jiang, now that you are the president of the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce, even if the revolutionary army comes to contact, it will definitely not look for anyone else, but at the moment, I think that there is another thing that is our urgent need." ”
Jiang Boqi asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The merchant said, "Don't you know? The workers below shouted all day long, 'Down with the powers, get rid of the warlords,' and when they were fine, they gathered in groups of three or five, shouted slogans, and engaged in activities, and if they didn't go along with them, they would strike, and this was not the way to go. ”
Jiang Boqi is not worried about this, since the revolutionary army has been coming to the good news, these workers in Yongcheng are also excited, these workers who were bullied in the past have now organized and set up their own trade unions, and even the former hooligan gang Crab Gang now dare not provoke the trade union.
Another businessman also got up and said, "President Jiang, you have to think of a way, can't we go on like this, we are the bosses, they are working for us, we can't let us beg them every day, right?" ”
Jiang Boqi said lightly: "You don't pay people less, right?" ”
The businessman said with a heartfelt voice: "The salary should be calculated as it should be, how can it be given less?" ”
Jiang Boqi said deliberately: "That's strange, why hasn't this kind of thing happened in my factory?" ”
The merchant was speechless, not wanting to say anything more, so he sat down angrily.
Li Songming, who was sitting on the side, just chuckled, like a ticket holder watching a play.
Jiang Boqi got up and walked down: "Everyone, the slogan of the revolutionary army is 'Down with the powers, get rid of the warlords', we are neither a great power nor a warlord, what are we afraid of?" Besides, I have read the declaration of the Northern Expedition of the Revolutionary Army word for word, it has nothing to do with us, we do our duty, the Revolutionary Army will not embarrass us, they can't come, don't let us do business, right? ”
After Jiang Boqi finished speaking, no one spoke, and at this time, the manager of Jiang Boqi's shipyard hurriedly ran in.
Jiang Boqi frowned and looked at the manager, and after the manager stepped forward and whispered a few words, Jiang Boqi was shocked: "What? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, several shipyard workers walked in, and the leader said: "Boss Jiang, I am Li Ke, chairman of the shipyard trade union. ”
Jiang Boqi nodded and said, "What are you doing?" It's time to work. ”
Li Kedao: "Boss Jiang, last month, two of our workers were injured while working as a captain, so they went home to rest, but when the wages were settled, there were no two of them. ”
Jiang Boqi saw that the other businessmen were watching, and it was not easy for Li Ke to say it privately, so he had to say, "You continue to speak." ”
Li Kedao: "They were injured when they went to work, and they didn't do it on purpose, so the union thinks they should be paid last month's wages." ”
Jiang Boqi nodded and asked, "How did their injuries get caused?" ”
Li Kedao: "Caused when I was working. ”
Jiang Boqi asked again: "Be specific." ”
Li Kedao: "When I was carrying wood, I hit my foot. ”
Jiang Boqi stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Did I hit their feet?" ”
Li Ke looked at Jiang Boqi's appearance, but he was not surprised, because he had expected this result.
Jiang Boqi said: "It's not me, it's their own carelessness, they didn't go to work after they were injured, why should I pay?" According to you, I have to be responsible for the cold at work? If a female worker gets pregnant while working, do I have to help her raise the baby? ”
Jiang Boqi's words caused laughter in the chamber of commerce, Li Ke looked around, didn't say anything, and left with a blushing face.
Ma Sanyuan stepped forward at this time and said, "President, it seems that you have provoked the people of the trade union." ”
Jiang Boqi disagreed: "What can they do? Strike? Okay, let's go, I'll fire them if they strike, and there are people lining up to find jobs. ”
After Jiang Boqi finished speaking, he bowed his hand, said goodbye to everyone, and returned to the shipyard with the manager.
What Jiang Boqi didn't expect was that when he returned to the shipyard, the gate of the shipyard was full of workers, and when he got out of the car, those workers rushed up together, shouting in unison for him to give an explanation.
Jiang Boqi ignored the workers, and just walked through the crowd to the door of his office.
Standing at the door, Jiang Boqi turned around and found that the workers were all standing downstairs, waving their fists and denouncing themselves.
Jiang Boqi scolded secretly, and remembered what the businessman said before, so he opened the door and walked into the office.
Unexpectedly, after Jiang Boqi walked into the office, he saw An Wanghai sitting there at a glance, and Guan Mochen next to him.
"Yo, Mr. An, no, Chief of Staff An." Jiang Boqi said hello and walked towards Guan Mochen, "This must be the newly appointed chief of staff, right?" Is it also the administrative manager of our Yongcheng? ”
Guan Mochen stretched out his hand: "Boss Jiang is polite, I am in Xia Guan Mochen." ”
Jiang Boqi shook Guan Mochen's hand, and signaled to the manager: "Make tea, don't be stunned." ”
After that, Jiang Boqi sat back at the desk: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the distinguished guest had arrived, and there was something going on in the factory today, so let the two of you laugh." ”
An Wanghai didn't say a word, just looked at the newspaper.
Guan Mochen walked to the desk and said, "Boss Jiang, I'm here today just to deal with the workers' affairs." ”
Jiang Boqi wondered, glanced at An Wanghai, but An Wanghai was still reading the newspaper.
Jiang Boqi had to ask, "What's the matter?" ”
Guan Mochen said: "Last month, two workers in your factory injured their feet while moving things, and they recuperated at home for half a month. ”
Jiang Boqi said: "Oh, I just found out about this, I also explained, I explained it like this, I want to think about it, I remember, oh, I remember, I said - did I hit their feet?" It's not me, it's their own carelessness, they don't go to work, why should I pay? According to you, I have to be responsible for the cold at work? If a female worker gets pregnant while working, do I have to help her raise the baby? ”
After Jiang Boqi finished speaking, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Guan, do you think what I said makes sense?" ”
Guan Mochen said lightly: "It doesn't make sense." ”
Jiang Boqi said: "Okay, let's be reasonable." ”
Guan Mochen sat down directly: "That's what I mean." ”
