Born In England

2 months later.

The first batch of more than 5,000 people finally came to Singapore.

Arrange accommodation and meals in a unified manner, and at the same time start to arrange work for everyone step by step.

In this way, the first group of people felt at ease, and Li Er did not lie to them.

Next, there will be a second batch and a third batch of people coming.

In a flash, another half a year has passed.

It was now the end of 1895.

Get ready for 1896!

Singapore.

Lee's TT factory.

In the evening.

Workers leave work.

A beehive of Huaxia workers came out of the factory one after another.

Salary is paid today, find a place to have a drink tonight? Sun Xiaoqiang's companion Zhao Tiezhu said.

Drink it, but I'll go to the post office first, and plan to send some money home. Sun Xiaoqiang said with a chuckle.

He has been here for more than half a year.

Also worked for three months.

Not to mention food and housing every month, the monthly salary is ten pounds!

This is something he didn't even dare to think about before!

Although he is just a raw material mover in the TT factory.

It's hard.

But as a rural person, he can still afford this bit of suffering.

It can be said that most of the Chinese people here are more able to bear hardships and stand hard work.

Haha, I plan to send money too!

Li Lin's company also set up a mailing company to send money home to these fellow villagers.

Not counting sending money.

Just hand over the money to the mailing company,

The mailing company counts, and a telegram is sent to Yangcheng, and the mailing company there writes a letter to the family members who sent the money, and let them come to collect the money.

There is no need to actually send the money back, otherwise it would be too much trouble.

The two chatted while walking.

Why do these local people look at us strangely and full of hostility! As Sun Xiaoqiang walked, he noticed that the local people on the street were not very friendly to their eyes.

Hey! We have tens of thousands of people working here. Li's factory for a few days almost recruited us fellow villagers. I even heard that many of Li's factories fired the original locals for a few days. , Leave jobs to our own people, doesn’t this make many local people lose their jobs?”

In addition, I heard from some fellow villagers on the pier that we migrants have had a lot of conflicts with the locals, so they must look at us with hostility, let's go, let's go quickly. This area is the area of ​​locals. Zhao Tiezhu said in a low voice.

Li Lin's TT factory is located in the area where the locals live.

There is no way, there are too many factories in the area where the Huaxia people live, so they can only open some factories in other areas.

The management here in Singapore is wonderful.

The British attached great importance to the commercial and trade activities in Singapore, so merchants were listed as the highest class in society, followed by artisans, and farmers in the third class.

Place different ethnic groups such as Europeans, Chinese, Hard people, locals (aboriginal), Bugis and Alabos in different areas. Considering the possibility of disputes among migrant residents due to different dialect groups, the British administrators further separated them according to different dialect groups in order to achieve the goal of dividing and conquering.

In fact, it is to prevent more intense conflicts between various ethnic groups.

The main ethnic groups here are all in great conflict!

Especially the locals are very hostile to outsiders.

And those outsiders also hated each other.

So the relationship is very complicated.

Coincidentally, several of Li Lin's new TT factories are located in other areas.

For example, the factory where Zhao Tiezhu and the others are located is located in an area where the locals are located.

Just when they passed a small alley.

Suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed out from the front and back of the alley, surrounding the two of them.

Balabala (they just paid their wages today, they robbed them of their money!) a tall local who seemed to be the leader said viciously.

They hated this group of foreign Chinese people very much.

He previously worked in a factory of the Lee Group.

But he was fired half a year ago because he wanted to give up the jobs to these Chinese people.

He was furious.

One of his sisters had another relative, too.

Now, the Li Group does not recruit workers other than Huaxia people at all.

There are dozens of Lee Group factories in Singapore.

It is the largest group of companies in the country.

This leaves them with no work to do now. Do they still have to work as laborers at the docks? Or go to the plantation as a coolie?

They don't want to!

But there is nothing that can be done right now.

But they found a way to make money.

That is to rob these Chinese people of their money!

snort!

They are the local snakes.

Suddenly, a group of people rushed forward.

What do you want to do? Sun Xiaoqiang's expressions suddenly changed.

However, the other party did not listen to them at all, and the language of the two parties did not understand each other.

In the end, both Sun Xiaoqiang and Zhao Tiezhu shouted: Root! Rob!

This shout immediately attracted the attention of some Chinese off-duty people not far away.

After all, there are seven or eight hundred Chinese people working in the factory here.

It was off-duty time again, so it immediately attracted attention.

Go, go and see what's going on!

At the same time, the few locals had already snatched the salary that Zhao Tiezhu and the others had just paid.

Robbery! They are stealing money!

Immediately, more than 20 Huaxia workers surrounded more than 20 people from the other side.

Why are you robbing money? Zhao Dagang, the leader of the village, glared at him.

Dilabula. The leader of the local people on the opposite side said.

What he meant was: We didn't steal money, it was you Chinese people who wanted to steal our money, and then we defeated you.

Anyway, in one sentence, what is black becomes white.

Both sides are language barriers.

Immediately, the locals were local snakes, and they began to shake people.

Immediately, hundreds of locals rushed over and surrounded Zhao Dagang and others.

The conflict between the two sides has gone one step further!

You guys are the only ones? Hurry up and send someone to call for someone! Damn it! Zhao Dagang was not afraid, and immediately yelled.

Immediately, many fellow villagers passing by after get off work rushed over one after another.

Immediately, thousands of people confronted each other like this.

I don't know who will do it first, and the two sides started fighting directly.

Immediately, the scuffle began.

In the end, it was the security guards who came over and stopped the two sides, and arrested the main people of both sides!

On the side of the Governor's Mansion, Li Lin had already had a problem with Li Lin.

In addition, they in England are more friendly to the locals, and more indifferent to the Chinese.

Therefore, the locals were released directly, and Zhao Dagang and others were locked up.

Soon, the news spread to Qinglongmen on the other side of Singapore.
