Chapter 892: The Guardian Corridor
"Rest assured, as president of the union, I have already negotiated with General Manager Smith that there will be a salary negotiation meeting in two days.
We haven't raised wages for five or six years, and this time we have to raise it a little anyway, if it can't be raised, you don't need to rush, I will resign and leave. ”
Vincent immediately assured everyone.
He also knows that these big bosses are actually not very interested in the moon landing, and what they really care about is always their own vital interests, to put it bluntly, it is a salary increase.
"President Vincent, we believe in you, you are more reliable than Andrew, Andrew's son of a bitch, I didn't expect him to be the trust arranged by the company, it's so hateful, no wonder the salary can't go up."
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged Asian man said worriedly:
"If we make such a fuss, will the company fire us? Now it is not easy to find a stable job, we still have family to support, we should be cautious, don't be impulsive. ”
Without waiting for Vincent to answer, Arthur hurriedly replied: "Aso, you are willing to be a dog for the capitalists, don't drag us into the water, I told you a long time ago, if you can't get used to it, it's better to go back to your Nisang hometown!" ”
"Don't be kidding, Nissan is long gone, I'm a true American, my son too, and so am my future grandson."
Aso Iemasa hurriedly corrected loudly.
"Aso, if you are afraid of struggle, I suggest that you move your family to South Philippines, I heard that there are quite a few Nissan factories over there, and your compatriots will definitely be willing to accept you."
Vincent helped.
He also wanted to get rid of the other party.
This Nissan is the least resistant of all the workers, and if he stays, he will only drag his feet, and maybe even run out to tell the truth.
"I'm not going to leave America." Aso Iemasa stubbornly shook his head, "Don't persuade me, when I first set foot on this land, I swore that I would never leave here in this life." ”
"Why? Asia has developed rapidly over the years, and you Nissan people are mixing very well, especially in the South Philippines, where you are doing well. ”
Vincent couldn't help but wonder.
Aso Iechang sighed, and simply replied: "Great Xia has never been a country of immigrants, America is, and we have deep historical grievances with the other side, and I firmly believe in my own judgment." ”
When Vincent heard this, he looked at the other party quite sympathetically, and the person in front of him should have been drilled into the horns of the bull, and he couldn't get out of his own world.
In the Bactrian dialect, this is called:
With the heart of a villain, spend the belly of a gentleman.
Great Xia is already different from the past, and there is no need for the people of Great Xia to dwell on the past, what they have to do is to look to the future, just like the famous slogan:
10,000 years is too long.
Moreover, it has been more than 20 years since the establishment of Yahu, and I have never heard of any incidents of persecution or exclusion of the Nisan people.
……
Finally, turn your attention to the Tianzhu Peninsula.
Compared to other places, everything is normal on this side of the Tianzhu Peninsula, as if nothing has happened.
The magnates are busy eating, drinking, and merrymaking, so happy,
Civilians can only work hard and complain, and some people have made statistics that on average, every five minutes, one person will be exhausted to death on the Tianzhu Peninsula.
The average life expectancy here is less than 30 years.
It is the lowest region in the world.
Most people are also used to it, and they don't feel much sadness because they still have an afterlife, and no matter how hard and tired it is, it is worth it.
But among the powerful, there was one exception.
In the southernmost part of the peninsula, in the kingdom of Ceylon, King Lanier was looking at the map at a loss.
This is a rare wise lord on the Tianzhu Peninsula, and his country can definitely rank among the top three in terms of comprehensive national strength.
At this time, the other party is worried about a major event.
"Malik, Yahu's Lugang Group wants to lease our Manar Peninsula, do you think they are normal business dealings, or do they have another purpose?"
Speaking of this Mannar Peninsula, it is located in the northwest of the island of Ceylon and covers an area of less than 100 square kilometers, but its location is important.
Especially in recent years, as the sea level continues to fall, a long and narrow land corridor has gradually formed between the Tianzhu continent and the Manar Peninsula.
That is, the famous Baoke corridor.
Thus, Ceylon became a land-linked island.
"Your Majesty, I think this is a normal business investment, so we don't have to worry too much."
Malek understated.
Of course, he knew that the Luzhou Port Group was not good, but Yahu was too big, and they couldn't resist at all, so it was better to choose to pretend to be confused than to humiliate themselves!
Lanier was a little angry: "Malek, are you old and confused? Have you forgotten how important Mannar is to us? ”
Even before the reign of the lord of Ceylon had great ambitions.
He compared the Kingdom of Ceylon to the historical Kingdom of Sardinia, hoping that one day, he would be able to unify the Tianzhu Peninsula and reproduce the glory of the Tianzhu people.
And without a decent navy, Mannar is the only passage to the Tianzhu Continent.
The importance of this cannot be overstated.
"Your Majesty, Lugang Group is the largest port company in Asia, with a background of all over the world, if you offend them, I am afraid it will have a disastrous impact on our foreign trade, please think twice."
"Are we just going to have to do it?"
Prime Minister Malik persuaded again: "The Lugang Group has written in the contract that they just want to dig an artificial canal, and they have absolutely no ill will towards us."
Besides, once this canal is successfully dug up, it will also be good for our economy, which is a great thing to kill two birds with one stone, so why should we oppose it? ”
"Malik, if the Great Xia people occupy the Mannar Peninsula, I'm afraid our dream of reunification will no longer be possible, I am really unwilling."
Lanier smacked his thigh.
Malik sighed, stepped aside and turned on the TV, then pointed to the TV screen and explained:
"Your Majesty, Yahu has just launched a spacecraft to the moon, and their national power is expanding rapidly, so it is really unwise to confront them at this time.
This time, the action of the Lugang Group is most likely to give us a warning, if we don't listen to persuasion, there will be a catastrophe in the future. ”
"Warning? We didn't move a single soldier, how did they find out? ”
"Your Majesty, at the Peninsula Import and Export Expo last week, didn't you call for the establishment of the Tianzhu Alliance in your speech last week? This should be the trigger for this incident. ”
"I'm just casually saying that I'm still 108,000 miles away from success?"
Lanier exclaimed.
"There is an old saying in Daxia, which is called preventing micro things and eliminating gradual progress, which means that bad things and bad thoughts must be stopped at the beginning of the bud and not allowed to develop."
"So I brought it on myself?"
Malik hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, this matter is really not necessarily a bad thing for us, it is too risky to unify Tianzhu, unless there is a change in Asia, the possibility is almost zero." ”
"Don't I understand?" King Lanier said in great frustration, "Look at the current world trend, Asian, American, and European Unions, reunification is the king, and only a unified Tianzhu can stand up as a backbone in the forest of nations in the world." ”
Malik did not answer directly, but said a Tianzhu proverb:
"Remember that sometimes, it's good luck to get even the best harvest."
