Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement
Chapter 31 Strike
"Bodhisattva, humph, being a Bodhisattva doesn't end well. I'm just unhappy, and no one can make me unhappy."
Chen Yi looked towards the dock and said, "Have someone inform the people at the dock that the strike is starting now."
Li Cheng asked, "So, is Master Yi going to go on strike directly? Should we negotiate with the foreigners first?"
"Of course we need to talk, but we have to let them know what's what before they come looking for me," Chen Yi said.
"Master Yi, I'll go make the arrangements right away." Li Cheng hurried towards the dock.
Chen Yi turned his gaze to Lewis, who had been staying in the warehouse area.
This guy wrote good reports and took decent photos, so Chen Yi hired him to report on things for him.
"Lewis, I'm going to get all the dockworkers on strike to improve their pay. That's big news, so you'd better take good notes."
From his previous conversation with Li Cheng, Lewis had already sensed that something big was about to happen.
Upon receiving Chen Yi's affirmation, he said excitedly, "Mr. Chen, I will definitely do my best to report this matter."
"Lewis, you're a foreigner too. What do you think about my idea of a labor strike?" Chen Yi asked.
Lewis said, "Mr. Chen, I am a person who pursues equality. I also think that the wages of people in Daxuan are too low, which is very unreasonable. What Mr. Chen has done is entirely just."
"Justice, huh? What if I did something unjust? How do you plan to report that?"
Lewis replied without hesitation, "Mr. Chen hired me, so he's my boss. Of course, I'll write whatever Mr. Chen tells me to write."
"Haha, you're quite capable too."
Chen Yi laughed and patted Lewis twice.
Lewis was slapped so hard he grimaced, but dared not say a word.
After all, the person in front of him is both a big spender and a skilled martial artist.
He had never seen a punch and a kick crack the stone floor before.
pier.
On the cargo ship, the foreign captain frowned as he looked at the laborers on the dock and said, "These Da Xuan people have become increasingly rude these days. They even dare to look us straight in the eye while they're working."
Normally, laborers would bow their heads when they saw foreigners.
Lately, the laborers have been staring at them for some reason.
This greatly displeased the captain.
"I think so too, Anthony. I think we should talk to Chairman Zhao of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce and have them discipline these people. We've come out of the ocean, so they should show us the utmost respect," another captain said.
"Brook, you're right, but we have to wait until the goods here are unloaded first, otherwise these Da Xuan people are the laziest and might not work at all."
The foreign captains spoke one after another, their words filled with arrogance and deep disdain for the people of Da Xuan.
After all, their fleet had been overwhelming the Great Xuan Dynasty at sea, forcing them to sign countless treaties.
Therefore, in their view, this group of Da Xuan people should be inferior to them.
"Anthony, something seems off. Why are those Da Xuan people just watching from the docks and not coming to unload the goods?"
Brook noticed something was wrong and frowned.
"Are these idiots out of their minds today? Hey, Da Xuan, get to work." Anthony had a fiery temper and also knew some Da Xuan slang.
Therefore, they started cursing directly in the thick of the big language.
However, his cursing only made the laborers glance at him a couple more times, and they didn't do anything else.
"Damn it, have these bigwigs taken the wrong medicine?"
"Hey, get to work! If you're slow unloading, you won't get a single penny."
The other captains also noticed the situation and started cursing.
However, no matter how much they shouted, the laborers ignored them.
"Get those men to work! I've already paid your guild!" Anthony shouted as he ran off the ship to a henchman carrying a stick.
In his view, these were all overseers, people used by the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce to monitor the laborers' work.
If the laborers cause a problem, it's their responsibility to solve it.
"Our boss, Mr. Yi, said that starting today, he will no longer unload goods for you," the henchman said.
"What? I paid for it." Anthony's eyes widened, and he grabbed the henchman's collar.
When the other henchmen saw this, they immediately surrounded him and started hitting him with sticks.
Anthony was quickly knocked to the ground and curled up in a ball, only able to howl in pain.
Seeing this, the other captains immediately lost their desire to disembark, and those who were halfway up the gangway quickly ran back.
They all had only one thought in their minds.
These people from Da Xuan have gone mad.
However, since the cargo on the ship hadn't been unloaded, they couldn't leave and were stuck on the ship, staring at each other in silence.
The laborers didn't care, but the cargo ship lost money every second it was delayed.
Gradually, some people couldn't hold back any longer and relented, saying, "What do you want in return for unloading the goods?"
Li Cheng was in charge of the situation at the dock.
Seeing that the time was right, he said, "From now on, this dock will be under the control of our boss, Master Yi, and the rules with you will naturally have to change."
If you still need to unload cargo at the dock, then disembark. Our boss wants to have a talk with you.
Don't worry, it's safe.
The foreign captains looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
Judging from the appearance of the dock, something had happened that they were unaware of, and disembarking would likely be dangerous.
But then I thought about the cargo on the ship.
Some people gritted their teeth and disembarked, following Li Cheng.
Anthony, who had been thoroughly beaten up, was the first to walk, his face covered in bruises, but his expression was full of fawning smiles.
Their attitude has completely changed.
Do foreigners also show such expressions and fawn over each other?
The laborers around who witnessed this scene felt a ripple of emotion.
They have always been afraid of foreigners.
During this period, the henchmen's sticks became even more vicious.
In addition, the wages paid are indeed more than before.
This led to the strike at the request of the henchmen.
But deep down, he was still afraid of foreigners.
But now, seeing that these foreigners also have fears and a tendency to fawn, some things in my heart have quietly changed.
Warehouse area.
Chen Yi sat imposingly on the outdoor sofa, waiting for Li Cheng to bring the foreigners over.
Before long, a group of foreigners followed Li Cheng into the warehouse area.
"Master Yi, the person has been brought here," Li Cheng said.
Chen Yi nodded in acknowledgment, then looked at the group of foreigners and said with a smile, "This is probably the first time you captains have met me. My name is Chen Yi, and you can call me Mr. Chen."
The captains didn't reply immediately; their attention was focused on the two corpses hanging from the pole.
They had sailed the seas and had seen dead people before.
But in the city, I've never seen a corpse hung on a pole like that.
That's too brutal.
They also had some guesses about the personality of the new manager of the dock.
He must be a guy who treats human life like dirt.
