“Labor Party Chairman Lim Yew Hock?”

“The Labour Party was a political party announced by several union leaders. Lim Yew Hock served as the chairman of the Labour Party and also served as the chairman of the Civil Service and Administrative Staff Union.”

"Why are you suddenly talking about Lin Youfu?"

“All strikes in Singapore are closely related to the Labour Party. The Labour Party wants to gain more support by improving workers’ treatment. Strikes are merely a means of negotiating with employers.

But strikes can also become a means of creating social chaos, exacerbating conflicts, triggering bloodshed, further creating hatred, and leading angry strikers to take up arms and start a revolution.

"You mean?"

Xian Yaowen stood up and smiled: "Revolution is also a business. Revolutionary slogans are actually advertisements, just like the slogan of Tiger Balm. It is usually impossible to attract people in any way. However, it doesn't matter whether you can do it or not. What matters is whether you can attract a large number of people to join your team. As long as the team is large enough, the revolution will eventually win.

The young lady just now seemed to be quite idealistic and passionate. She came from a good family, had received a few years of education, and had some knowledge. However, she was simple-minded and did not know what the responsibility of supporting a family was. Such people were most easily misled by advertisements.

Passion can easily resonate with others, and I guess she is also very good at bewitching others.

Human desires are difficult to satisfy. At the same time, it is difficult for people to objectively evaluate the value of their labor, especially the indirect value and added value.

When it comes to our hotel employees, we cannot just give them high salaries, we also need someone to encourage them regularly and inspire their enthusiasm for work. A revolutionary idealist is very suitable for this job. "

Li Yueru rolled her eyes at Xian Yaowen and said, "Just pick up girls, why are you making excuses for yourself?"

Xian Yaowen chuckled, "Sister Chao Qiong, don't get me wrong, I don't have any intention of pursuing that lady, at least not now. Even if I do, it will only be in passing. Excuse me, I'm going to say hello to Kane."

Looking at Xian Yaowen's leaving back, Li Yueru's eyes flashed with a complicated look. She felt that Xian Yaowen's purpose of investing in the welfare hotel was not as simple as making some money.

"Be a member of the snowball, or be the one pushing the snowball?"

She is interested in everything.

When Xian Yaowen walked towards Kane, the furious Kane saw him, smiled and came forward.

"Adam, having lunch here?"

"Yes, and you?"

"As you can see, we're preventing crimes from happening," Kane said, spreading his hands.

"I saw it." Xian Yaowen chuckled and pointed at Li Yueru, "Miss Li, a shareholder of the hotel, she and I have been sitting there for... about twenty minutes."

Kane glanced at Li Yueru and said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't see you."

Xian Yaowen made a gesture that it was okay, "Did you gain anything?"

"what?"

"Lu Yuejing."

"He's got a hard mouth, and there's no more to gain."

"Well, I think even the hardest mouth will eventually open. The bodies of She Agui and Lan E'niang have been found and are stored in the charity cemetery in Shuo'e Lane. Their families have already arrived. If you need to go through any procedures, you can go there this afternoon."

"Yes, we need to go through some formalities. I will send someone over this afternoon." Kane pointed at Zhou Yingli and said, "Adam, let me introduce you. This is Zhou Yingli. I am friends with his father Zhou Pengfei."

Xian Yaowen looked at Zhou Yingli and searched for the name Zhou Pengfei in his mind. There was no such person, and he was not on his list of people to watch. He stretched out his right hand and smiled faintly, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Xian Yaowen."

"Hello." Zhou Yingli held Xian Yaowen's hand, "I am Zhou Yingli."

Xian Yaowen smiled faintly, withdrew his hand, and gestured to Ruoning, "Mr. Zhou, who is this?"

"Ouyang Ruoning, my girlfriend."

Xian Yaowen nodded to Ouyang Ruoning and guessed that she was a nurse because he smelled a faint smell of alcohol and residual sulfur soap. If his guess was correct, it basically meant that she came from a middle-class wealthy family.

Ouyang Ruoning responded with a polite smile and then turned his attention back to Zhou Yingli.

Xian Yaowen looked at Zhou Yingli and said, "Mr. Zhou, I have some trivial matters to attend to today. Let's drink tea together next time."

"Ok."

Xian Yaowen nodded slightly to Zhou Yingli and looked at Kane. "Tomorrow is the weekend. I plan to have a barbecue in the garden. I have prepared top-quality sirloin and Bavarian beer. John, please bring your wife along."

"There will be Bavarian beer and barbecue, and Minnie will be very happy to accept the invitation," Kane said with a smile.

Kane's wife, Minnie Kronenburg, is of German-Eurasian descent. Her father is a beer brewer who spent several years in Shanghai, promoting his own brewed Kronenburg beer, but was not very successful.

"Six o'clock."

"We'll be there on time."

After making an appointment with Kane, Xian Yaowen nodded to Zhou Yingli and Ouyang Ruoning, then returned to the table and continued eating shrimp noodles.

Yizhuang.

Xu Fangrong lay on She Agui's coffin, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Ever since She Yunxiao was born and she finished her confinement, She Agui's frequency of sleeping with her has gradually become almost the same as that of a swan song. I remember the last time he slept with her was the last time. In a blink of an eye, it has been almost two and a half years.

As for women, their feelings will fade if they don't sleep often. Besides, Xu Fangrong and She Agui didn't have much feelings for each other from the beginning. She was naturally a little sad when She Agui died, but it wasn't enough to make her cry, let alone be heartbroken.

In fact, she couldn't cry at all, so she had to resort to magic and rubbed pepper around her eyes. It worked. She couldn't stop her tears.

She had to cry, it was burning and painful, and tears would relieve the pain, so she cried her heart out, her eyes were red and swollen, and anyone who saw her would say that she and She Agui were deeply in love, and that they should keep an eye on her, lest they be unable to bear the thought of being together through life and death.

Compared to her, Lan E'niang's younger brother Lan Fengye can be said to be very quiet. He has not made any big noise since he arrived at the charity cemetery. He asked the people in the charity cemetery about the situation, burned paper and offered incense for Lan E'niang, and then stayed aside quietly.

He and Lan E'niang are more than ten years apart in age, and they don't have much of a sibling relationship. Instead, they do have a bit of a mother-son relationship. They are clearly of the same generation but more like older and younger generations. It's hard to say how close the two are.

Later, Lan E'niang followed She Agui. This was a very shameful thing for the Lan family. The consequence was "just as if they had never given birth to this daughter". Therefore, when Lan Fengye reached the age of sensibility, he saw Lan E'niang so many times that he could not use one hand enough to count.

Now, he has started a family and the relationship with his relatives has not changed, but the distance has been refreshed. Naturally, his relationship with Lan E'niang is more distant. He came here because of ethical principles and blood ties, not because of emotions.

Xian Yaowen and his companion returned to the charity cemetery, but did not go directly into the coffin room. Instead, they first met with Qi Longque who stayed behind outside, asked about the situation, and learned about Xu Fangrong and Lan Fengye's respective performances before entering the coffin room.

As soon as Fang entered, he was spotted by Xu Shaoyu, who had been anxiously waiting for the VIP to be seated. He took one look and immediately looked at Xu Fangrong. Seeing that she was in good shape, his heart, which had been hanging in the balance, instantly settled down. He just hoped that Xu Fangrong would perform well.

He lowered his head and said something to the child who was playing with a windmill nearby, then walked towards Xian Yaowen, "Mr. Xian."

"Mr. Xu, here you are." Xian Yaowen pointed at the child, "Is that Mr. She?"

"Yes, Yun Xiao is Mr. She's son and my nephew."

Xian Yaowen nodded without comment, "It seems that Mr. She has more than one wife?"

"Mr. Xian, Mr. She never told me how many wives he had, let alone where they lived. If Fangrong was not my sister, I probably wouldn't know where she lived." Xu Shaoyu said with a slightly self-deprecating tone.

"Alas." Xian Yaowen sighed, "Mr. She's caution has now become a problem. The weather is hot, and it's not a good idea to leave the coffin here. I asked the host, and he said the day after tomorrow is a suitable day for burial, but the family members are not all here... Alas, I don't know what to do."

After a pause, he continued, "Although Mr. She and I are close friends, we are not from the same family after all. Mr. She's funeral arrangements should still be decided by his family. I will wait outside until my sister-in-law calms down a bit, and then we can discuss it together."

Xu Shaoyu said anxiously, "I'll go call Fang Rong."

"Don't worry, let sister-in-law be alone for a while."

After stopping Xu Shaoyu, Xian Yaowen walked out of the coffin room and stood at the corner of the stairs with Li Yueru.

Xian Yaowen glanced at his watch and started timing. He wanted to accurately calculate Xu Shaoyu's patience to decide whether to kick him out of Lan Gui Trading Company.

She Agui is dead, and the relationship with Indonesia cannot be developed slowly, it must be reconnected as soon as possible. Not to mention that he has big ideas for Indonesia, even the current smuggling trade contains huge profits.

Goods worth 50 Malaysian ringgits can be sold at a 27% price difference when shipped back to Hong Kong, and there is no worry about selling them. The net profit of Jinji Trading Company can reach almost 16 Hong Kong dollars. Now that the route is open, it is not a problem to make three or four trips a month. Even without considering the increase in purchase volume in the later period, the annual net profit is at least 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

If we take into account the fact that there are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference, the number may reach tens of millions.

Of course, whether it can be counted and how much can be counted depends on Xu Shaoyu. He is greedy for others' share but not for his partner's share. If Xu Shaoyu can replace She Agui's role, he doesn't care who makes the difference.

Xu Shaoyu had just shown signs of being overly hasty, but he chose to ignore it. It is normal for people who have never seen a lot of money to lose control when suddenly faced with an opportunity to make a lot of money. It only shows that he has no deviation in his perception of the value of money and is a serious person, so he can be forgiven.

If Xu Shaoyu is still impatient even after being given time to adjust his mood and think slowly, then it can only be said that this person lacks self-control and is not up to great use. It is better not to have such a middleman.

As time went by, Xian Yaowen and Li Yueru chatted about Cantonese opera. (End of this chapter)
