Chapter 60: Too Much Deception

"Bruce, remember what I said, don't these people off, now I need to find a chance to help them."

Remembering that after York helped Zhou Yu unload all the stones, he turned around and walked towards the workers who had just been transported, and he once again had a sense of justice.

"Mr. Reporter, do you know that it is very dangerous like this?"

Zhou Yu sighed helplessly in his heart, put down the trolley and followed.

East District, inside the Chinese Workers' Camp.

"Mr. George, why? Why do we do less work than any other worker, but more than anyone else? ”

Lu Xiucai took the salary of only 10 shillings in his hand, and discussed the matter with George very seriously.

George glanced at Lu Xiucai on his eyelids, and said in a humming voice: "You have only been here for less than a month and don't know the rules here, your remuneration is 1 pound per week, but in the first six months, you have to hand over a part of the remuneration to the management department, all of them have come over like this, if you don't believe it, you can ask."

And the Chinese workers are in charge of food and housing, so it's useless for you to ask for so much money, understand? If you understand, you will go back to work for me, and if you don't understand, you will go back to work! ”

Lu Xiucai held two 5 shillings coins with lions and crowns printed on them, took a few deep breaths, held back his anger, and turned around and walked out of the overseer's room.

Seeing him walk away, George put away his relaxed attitude, took off the hat on his head, fanned himself, and said to himself:

"Hell...... I feel more and more that this position is not easy to sit in, and those Chinese workers who come from C13 are really difficult to mess with...... Do you want to apply for a change of position for me? You can also go to the gate. ”

Yes, George's various practices came from the arrangement of his superiors, and also from the Clay brothers' behind-the-scenes promotion, but the root cause of this is still the low status of Chinese workers and their lack of attention.

"Xiucai, how's it going? How can there only be so much money? This is completely different from what was said in advance. ”

Seeing Lu Xiucai walking back with a gloomy face, Liu Banxian hurriedly leaned up and asked.

Lu Xiucai shook his head and said: "He said that a certain percentage of the management fee would be deducted in the first six months, but this deduction was too much, and the Chinese workers already got less than the local workers, so they deducted it like this...... They used us like animals! ”

"These damn foreign devils, they don't look down on us at all! Brothers, copy the guys and them! When we got on the ship, we clearly said that it was 30 oceans per person per month, but now it is only 10 shillings, although it is issued once a week! How many oceans can this be equal to? Damn, I don't think an ocean is enough! These dog-day turtle grandsons, fuck them! ”

Liu Banxian looked at the pitiful two coins, and suddenly became nameless, and immediately beat his chest to go back to the No. 04 warehouse dormitory and dig out the weapon.

"Fortune teller, calm me down! Hold him down! ”

Lu Xiucai snorted, and Uncle and nephew Dabao hurriedly stepped up and grabbed Liu Banxian's arm left and right, and whispered comfort:

"Fortune teller, don't get excited, Mr. Zhou is not here now, we can endure it, and when he comes back, we will not have a penny."

"That's it, to dissipate the anger, it should be given to those foreigners, let them buy coffins, by the way, I've been having a weird dream lately, you fortune teller help me calculate a hexagram, see if it's bad or lucky."

Uncle and nephew Dabao, you and I said a word, and successfully led Liu Banxian'er's train of thought astray.

However, Lu Xiucai knew that this group of people took advantage of the absence of Zhou Yu and other hardliners to challenge their bottom line.

If they are carried away by anger and do something irrational, they are falling into the hands of the other person.

"Whew...... Calm down...... Calm ......"

Lu Xiucai adjusted his breathing, called the cripple and Zhou Zhen to his side, whispered a few words, and everyone returned to their workstations to start work.

George, who was anxious about paying his wages, found that these Chinese workers did not do anything excessive, and were still very obedient to go to and from work on time every day, as if nothing had happened, and gladly accepted the wages that even he felt were pitiful.

"Hell, George, don't these Chinese workers have a temper? It's only 10 shillings a week, which they can bear? ”

Another overseer looked at the Chinese workers as they were doing as usual, and expressed his doubts.

However, George looked at this scene and pouted and shook his head: "The more they are like this, the more uneasy I feel in my heart, I really don't know what serious consequences will be caused by these people once they break out......

Don't forget, there are more than 50,000 of them, more than 50,000! And there are less than 100 of us, and even if we have guns in our hands, we will be torn to pieces by these Chinese workers in an instant......

I really don't know what the above thinks, is it really to squeeze the last drop of oil out of the bodies of these Chinese workers? ”

St John's Street, North London.

Behind the fireplace of a lively tavern, the Razor Party finalists complete their first horse race.

Although Tommy lost a lot of money for leaking the news that the horse had been enchanted, there was no trace of nervousness on his face, but a look of joy.

"Tommy, can you still laugh? We lost more than £200 in yesterday's game alone! And the news that the horse has been enchanted has spread more and more, and I want to see the next race and not let it go out of the race, we need to stop the loss in time! What do you think? ”

Arthur Shelby, who had a tendon, waved his arms, looking extremely angry.

Tommy ignored him, but shook the glass in his hand, drank the liquor in one gulp, turned and walked out of the house, and before leaving, he threw down the phrase, "Send this horse to race tomorrow." ”

"What? Are you losing money and losing addiction? Or do you choose to believe Mr. Zhou's words unconditionally? Hell, even if he saved our lives, he couldn't drag the whole family into the quagmire! ”

Tommy put on his newsboy hat, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, looked at his brother with caring eyes, and said:

"Arthur, with your IQ, you can't understand the deeper meaning of this matter, but I promise you that the money we lose now will be multiplied and multiplied in the future, and if not, then the Shelbiga Razors will listen to you from now on."

"What?"

Arthur was slightly stunned, and then pointed at Tommy and said: "This is what you said Tommy, don't think that your eldest brother and I will only fight and kill, let me manage and lead the family to glory!" I'll see how you get all the money you lost back! ”

The corners of Tom's mouth curled slightly, and he pulled the swarthy racehorses out of the stable.

The horse was named "Lucky Star" by those gamblers in a recent race, and while there were some skepticism before the race, according to well-informed sources, the horse had been enchanted by a mysterious Oriental Warlock and would definitely run first.

At first, the news was only circulated on a small scale, and many people were on the fence, but in yesterday's game it turned out to be a proverb.

The horse won the championship with a huge advantage of several positions ahead of the second-place finisher, and the group of people who had previously released the news couldn't be happier.

We laughed and defied the skeptical voices and threatened to press the "lucky star" again in the next race.

This result caused many gamblers with a wait-and-see attitude to choose to follow suit and bet on the "Lucky Star", which also caused the Razors to lose hundreds of pounds in the next two games, but the news of the "Lucky Star" being enchanted spread in the betting circle.
