Chapter 109: Transnational Marriages

e: Ask for votes at the end of the month, thank you ()

This time, the 2o "laborers" mediated by the Balag family of the Ottoman Empire are, of course, all sisters. Most of them are from Central and West Asia such as Circassia, Georgia, Abkhasia and Arabia, some are from Eastern Europe such as Greece and the Balyu Peninsula, and finally a few are Gypsies and Kurdish girls.

Slaves were part of Ottoman society and flourished for centuries, and they even traded slaves in the form of a state, with special departments and officials in charge of related affairs, and even state-run slave farms. It was not until the nineteenth century that the abolitionist movement began in Europe. In 1847, the Ottoman Empire was under pressure from Britain and Western European powers to ban the slave trade, and many of the 19th-century sultans worked to eradicate the slave trade.

However, slavery had been recognized and supported by the Ottoman religious community and the middle and upper classes for centuries, and had become deeply entrenched in the Ottoman country. Therefore, the Ottoman abolitionist movement was also thunderous and rainy, and there were policies and countermeasures, but it failed to completely abolish slavery. Even in these years, the slave trade was still common in Ottoman countries, and they now used the names of "nannies", "servants", "laborers" and the like, instead of "slaves", "maids", "laborers", and the like.

However, Wen Deji did not want slaves, he just needed a large number of young women to balance the extremely strict gender imbalance in the country, so he asked the relevant authorities to cover these slave traders, issued them a formal labor recruitment commission, and registered them with a formal labor agency license in China.

For the sake of diversification of the supply side, the Balague family is not the only company that is a "labor intermediary". Anyway, there were many slave traders in the Ottoman and Arab regions, and now because of the European crackdown, their business is not very good. The CSD has money, and is willing to provide official legal identity as a cover, and is also responsible for transportation, where can such customers be found?

Last year, Xingke's office in the Middle East just let out some rumors, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen "labor agency companies" with a long history and outstanding reputation to come to the door and recommend themselves.

Guangzhou, Southwest Autonomous Government Foreign Human Resources Bureau.

The Foreign Human Resources Bureau is a government agency that has just been established for half a year, and is subordinate to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Because Guangzhou is currently the largest window city of the CSD to the outside world, it has placed this department here, and it has been a crowded place for the first few months, but since the end of last year, the business here has been busy.

Today, for example, the reception room was packed with a bunch of bearded foreigners. These dozen bearded men were fat and thin, dressed differently, and looked like they were from different countries, but what they all had in common was that they looked extremely humble and had a flattering smile.

A bearded man dressed in a traditional Arab robe stood up and bowed to the young man seated in the throne, smiling all over his face and speaking in stiff Chinese

"Dear Mr. Deputy Director, we still have a high-grade female black slave...... Ahem...... I mean, black maids, all of them are of excellent quality, and they used to be able to be sent to the Sultan's palace, so you really don't want them? The price is negotiable......

Yi Geren shook his head and said lightly: "Well, it has been clearly written on our bid, and we don't want black or brown." Mr. Sharon Bass, because the black and brown men do not conform to our Chinese aesthetics, even if we bring them in, it will be difficult for them to marry in the future...... You must understand that we are not slaves, but women who can become Chinese daughters-in-law. ”

"So, what about the half-bloods, what about the mulattos?" said Sharon Bas reluctantly. His family is also a long-established "labor agency", and now has hundreds of high-class black slaves, uh, black maids. Now the Ottoman royal family, under pressure from Europe, no longer accepts female slaves in the palace, at least not publicly. There is not much demand in other places, and it really can't be sold, and if the CSD doesn't want it anymore, this batch of goods will be smashed in their hands.

"Mixed race can be considered, including white and brown mixed race, no matter what mixed race, as long as it is in line with our Chinese aesthetics, you can ......" Yi Geren explained a few more words, and then asked: "Mr. Sharon Bass, I remember that there are no black and white mixed women among the female workers you introduced, is there one now?"

Sharon Bas hurriedly said: "Well, it's true that there are no yet, but I can make ah, I still have hundreds of high-grade female black ...... Ahem, black maid, only a year later can have half the number of mulattoes......"

"............" Everyone froze.

Creating mulattoes?Everyone was scorched by Sharon Bass's undisciplined words.

An "intermediary" from Egypt couldn't help but scoff: "Mr. Sharonbass, even if you make mulatto, it's a bunch of baby girls." Mr. Deputy Director doesn't want a baby girl......"

"yes, maybe most of them are still boys...... "An Iranian bearded man chimed in, smiling disdainfully.

As soon as these two began, a group of "intermediaries" ridiculed their skills, and said that Sharon Bas turned blue and red for a while. Nowadays, this business is not easy to do, it is completely a buyer's market, and the fewer competitors the better.

"Ahem, cough, cough" Seeing that the more everyone talked, Yi Geren coughed a few times and said, "Mr. Sharon Bas, this suggestion of yours is a bit new, but it is not really useful, and it still needs to be discussed by our experts." Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about normal business ......."

The Iranian bearded man hurriedly said: "Dear Mr. Deputy Director, I have already contacted a large number of women in Armenia...... Uh, female workers. The number is roughly 26 people."

"Oh, so much? from the proper source, is there anything that is not pure?" asked Igoren. When he said "not pure", he meant those women who were engaged in special customs industries, and it was not easy to introduce them, after all, these girls were to be wives. And "proper source" means that the source of the girl is not troublesome, if there is a troublesome background, then forget it. Originally, this kind of thing is easy to say and unpleasant, and there is no need to take on more trouble.

The Iranian bearded man hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the source is absolutely proper, and it was all voluntarily betrayed by their parents." You know, the poor people in those parts of Central Asia have a tradition of selling their daughters since ancient times. These female workers are all women of good families, and there is absolutely no ...... that is not pure."

"Well, yes, yes, you send them to the nearest office first, and let them do a preliminary review first. Igoren beat the Iranians and asked the others, "What about you?"

An intermediary from South America stood up and said: "Dear Mr. Deputy Director, I got 3o South American mixed-race beauties, all of them are of mixed Caucasian and Indian race, most of them are pure virgins, all of them are as beautiful as angels, and their skin is ......"

As he spoke, he began to sell melons, because according to the rules of the Science and Technology Party, imported girls are also divided into grades. This level is comprehensively assessed according to the girl's physical condition, health, appearance and other factors, and the price of different levels is different.

Yi Geren immediately interrupted him: "Mr. Sanchez, now is not the time for you to advertise. The level of your intermediary is up to our experts...... You can rest assured that we will never let our partners suffer, our experts are very fair, and you can rely on them. ”

In a villa on the outskirts of Guangzhou, the two parties were also talking about the introduction of female workers. On one side were representatives of the CSO, and on the other side were Japanese.

Deng Qingshan said with a smile: "Mr. Koizumi, we think the price of 3 pounds is very reasonable. As far as we know, there are a lot of girls in the countryside in your country who are not worth £1o. What's more, there are still a lot of North Korean girls in your batch, and the price you spend will be even lower. ”

The Japanese man opposite him immediately said: "No, 3 pounds is too low, what you said is less than 1o pounds, and that kind of zài does have a deposit, but it is not a buyout, you are a buyout, of course the price is different." This Xiaoquan is not confused, he knows that the example Deng Qingshan said is true, and it is not easy to deny it in this regard, so he can only argue about whether to "buy out".

Koizumi said without blushing: "Deng Sang, if those girls are engaged in the customs industry, they can earn back 3 pounds a year at most, and according to our price of 3o pounds, you are all taking advantage"

For betraying their own girls, Koizumi and these guys are not embarrassed at all. Because this is a very common thing in Japan, since the mid-19th century, Japan has been exporting girls to foreign countries and making money by selling them, and the main export places are Nanyang, India and China. Among the money used by Japan for industrialization and building a modern army, a large proportion of it comes from the skin and flesh of Japanese girls. Since they occupied North Korea, there have been more North Korean girls in brothels everywhere, and their exploitation of North Korean girls has become even more powerful.

Deng Qingshan shook his head and said, "3o pounds is absolutely impossible, Mr. Koizumi, it is too insincere for you to offer this kind of price." As you said yourself, it takes them at least a year to earn 3o pounds, and we pay it all in one lump sum, and I think you should understand the difference between the two. And most of you girls are malnourished and in very poor health, and it will cost us a lot to get them healthy after we take them over. Russia offers girls of much better quality than yours, and the price offered to us is only 7o pounds. ”

The two sides are like vegetable vendors, bargaining pound by pound. The reason for this deal was the transfer of airship technology, and at that time, Japan and Russia also negotiated with the CSD to request the transfer of airship technology, and the CSD also agreed, offering them the same price as Britain and France at 3o million pounds. However, both Japan and Russia were short of funds at this time, Russia was unable to turn around for a while, and its family foundation was still very strong, while Japan was poor.

So the CSD said that it doesn't matter if you don't have cash, you can use other things to offset the bill, and the payment methods we accept are very flexible. The CSD proposed to introduce a group of young girls to the two countries as marriage partners, which is of course not a slave girl transaction, but a "transnational marriage" officially recognized by the governments of both sides.

Mao Xiong agreed almost without any consideration, Russia has a large ethnic population, many of which are conquered peoples, and these ethnic groups have no human rights, so there is no problem at all for them to hand over some girls to deduct the technical fees of the airship, and there is no need to use the girls of the Russian ethnic group to offset the account. With the usual discipline of the woolly bear, it would be stupid not to do this kind of generous thing. And the Chinese side is not too picky, as long as it is a girl of the Asian and European races who is healthy and has good facial features, of course, the hairy bear can't take the black girl.

In Japan, it is not a problem, it is their fine tradition to sell girls, anyway, they are all sold, who is they sold to? Not to mention, compared with the kind of piecemeal selling, it is more convenient for the whole person to sell it in a package, and the money comes faster.

So the three parties hit it off, and Japan and Russia have been working on this since October last year, on the one hand, collecting girls in the country, and on the other hand, bargaining with the Science and Technology Socialist Party. Soon, the Science and Technology Party came up with a set of evaluation criteria, according to age, education, health, gene, IQ, EQ, height and shape, appearance and other 20 criteria, to score these imported girls, these scores as coefficients, multiplied by the negotiated basic price is the final unit price.

In addition, according to the different marital and childbearing status, the basic price of the girls is of course different, and it is divided into three categories. Of course, the yellow flower girl is the most precious, and it is the best class A. Non-virgins are going to be reduced in price and classified as category B. Again, women who have given birth or have done special trades are classified as Category C. With class A as the standard price, class B is 7o class A and class C is 6 of class A

The CSD scoring criteria are perfect, not only very logically rigorous, but also strictly digital. Japan and Russia couldn't find fault with it after looking at it again and again for half a month, and they couldn't come up with a better standard, so they had to accept this set of standards. The hairy bear is very refreshing, and the Japanese chirped crookedly for a long time, and also pinched his nose to admit it.

After the evaluation criteria are set, the three parties bargain for the standard price, which is the basic price of Class A girls.

The Japanese have a tough attitude, and finally bite to the price of 15o pounds and refuse to let go, and the Chinese side is also very firm, at most 6 pounds, not a single one. The two sides did not negotiate on the first day, but the Chinese side was not worried at all, anyway, Japan, a poor man, must be reluctant to spend 3o million pounds in exchange for airship technology, and there are no other resources to exchange, and the only thing that can be favored by the Science and Technology Socialist Party is their sister resources.

After a few days of negotiations, the two sides each made a step and set the standard price of Class A girls at 6 pounds, which is free shipping, that is, Japan is responsible for sending the girls to China, and Japan bears the risk halfway. After receiving the goods according to the actual quantity, China will calculate the price according to the scoring standard.

A few days later, at the meeting of the "China International Talent Exchange Exhibition Company" in Guangzhou, the company's employees were in a meeting. This company is a state-owned semi-enterprise and semi-public institution, and is a subordinate unit of the Foreign Human Resources Bureau.

Deng Qingshan is the manager of this company, he is a Hakka from Guangdong, studied at the University of Bordeaux in France, graduated in international trade, and most importantly, he is proficient in eight Chinese. After working in foreign trade for a period of time, he was transferred here three months ago to be in charge of importing girls. The foreign-related human resources bureau is only responsible for the general direction, determining the source and number of girls, and the specific negotiations, appraisals and other matters are the responsibility of the international talent exchange exhibition company.

A staff member said angrily: "Manager Deng, these Oriental devils are so cunning, more than seventy percent of the girls they sent are North Korean girls, and one percent are Ainu girls......

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's not our Chinese girl, it doesn't matter where they got it. Deng Qingshan said with a smile: "North Korea's can also be, we are equivalent to saving them, if we didn't buy them, they would have been sent into the kiln by the Japanese." ”

Deng Qingshan saw that the faces of several colleagues were not very good-looking, and they seemed to be full of affection. He also knows what's going on, and the matter of importing girls is not too glorious, and some people with a strong sense of justice still have opinions about it. So he said to these people: "There are a few comrades who think that we are trafficking in human beings. I must point out that this kind of thinking is strictly wrong"

Deng Qingshan stood up sternly as he spoke, and then said, "...... If we hadn't intervened, not only the girls in North Korea would have been miserable, but also the girls in Japan and elsewhere. If it weren't for us, the fate of these girls would be very tragic, and it was only basic to be ravaged by others, and some would fall into the hands of those perverts and suffer all kinds of unimaginable torture. ”

“...... We introduced them into China, married us Chinese, and they became decent Chinese citizens from then on, free from their tragic fate. This is liberation, this is saving us, this is doing great good deeds, and making them turn from ghosts to humans, this is a great and just cause," Manager Deng Qingshan concluded in a firm tone. His expression was perfect, full of a sense of sacred mission, and a little compassionate.

Then Deng Qingshan reasoned with the facts, gave a lot of real examples, and nodded more than enough to talk about the staff who were originally affectionate. They were ashamed, and quickly stood up, admitting their mistakes with a flushed face: "Manager, you are right, we are thinking wrong, sorry ......"

Neijiang, the headquarters of the Science and Technology Socialist Party (also the headquarters of Xingke Group)

"Boss, as of the 15th of this month, we have brought in a total of 1,457o female laborers......" Wei Sunan reported to Wen Desi with great interest. At present, the director of the Zhengyin Bureau of Foreign Human Resources is concurrently served by our chief engineer. Chief Engineer Wei is used to calling "boss", and now he can't change his mouth, Wen Desi doesn't care about it.

"How did you settle it?" asked Wen Dehei, noncommittally.

"According to our plan, after entering the country, they will first gather together for half a month of quarantine, during which various examinations will be carried out. After passing the qualifications, they will concentrate on language education and literacy, as well as learning our country's customs and habits, as well as basic life skills training丨This time is generally half a year. Wei Sunan replied.

Wen Desi asked strangely: "Language training and literacy are necessary, and it is also necessary to learn the customs and habits of our country, but what is the matter with this life skills training?
