super god warlord

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "You have done a good job. As long as no one shoots and kills the workers, there is room for improvement."

At this moment, loud slogans suddenly sounded outside. Zhao Shouhong looked out the window, and saw a large group of workers in variegated costumes holding up slogans, shouting various slogans and walking towards the street.Looking at their neat and orderly team and the carefully guarded policemen beside them, Zhao Shouhong nodded.

Zhao Shouhong didn't say anything, but Yun Daiying was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head.The parade didn't come early or late, but ran to the government gate to demonstrate just as soon as Zhao Shouhong arrived. Isn't this an eye salve for himself?Thinking of this, Yun Daiying couldn't help but secretly glanced at Zhao Shouhong, and found that the other side looked normal, so he was a little relieved.

Zhao Shouhong looked very calm. He just watched the parade outside for a few seconds, then turned around and continued to ask: "We haven't finished talking yet. You said that you have communicated with the capitalists. How is the situation?"

Yun Daiying frowned and said, "Most of those capitalists are Saar people. They are arrogant and do not cooperate at all. I asked them to implement the labor laws of the Western Special Administrative Region, but these people actually resisted with extraterritorial rights and refused to implement them."

"It's unreasonable." Zhao Shouhong said angrily: "These bastards are pretending to be confused. Extraterritoriality has been cancelled. This has been clearly stipulated in the new treaty. It is impossible for them not to know. Send someone to inform them immediately. The new treaty It has been half a year since the signing, and they have no extraterritorial rights. Order them to implement the labor law immediately, otherwise they will be severely punished according to the provisions of the law."

"Yes, I'll send someone there right away." With Zhao Shouhong in charge, Yun Daiying's courage also strengthened. In his opinion, there is no one who can make the Lord Commander suffer.

I also looked at the workers' parade outside, and they were already standing in front of the government gate.Although they didn't take any drastic actions, they chanted slogans loudly in front of the door, asking Yun Daiying to go out and answer.Zhao Shouhong saw it with a slight smile: "Okay, let's set a higher standard this time, and I'll negotiate with them."

"My lord, don't do it. Your safety is the most important thing." Yun Daiying was startled: "Hong Kong has just been recovered, and the forces of all parties are intricate. What if there is an accident?"

"It's okay, I'm sure." Zhao Shouhong ignored Yun Daiying's persuasion, and strode towards the government gate.The guards did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly chased him out.Seeing that even Zhao Shouhong had gone out, the officials who stayed in the government building also ran out in a panic.

At this time, Su Zhaozheng was standing in the front row of the parade on the square outside the government gate. As a member of the Communist Party, he knew the great reputation of the Western Special Administrative Region government.It is for this reason that he hopes to gain the sympathy of the government so that workers can have a salary enough to support their families.For this unimaginably low condition, they are willing to fight with their lives.

Under the loud shouts of the parade, the gate of the government really opened. Two rows of mighty guards ran out of the gate first, setting up a mighty formation on both sides. Then a large group of policemen opened the blockade in front of the workers to stop the demonstration. The crowd continued to approach the gate.The workers became restless. They knew that in such a battle, there must be some big shots coming out.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes came out quickly, and among the group of people following him was Yun Daiying, who had met the parade before.Su Zhaozheng's heart sank. Obviously, the rank of the leader is much higher than that of the Hong Kong government chief Yun Daiying.But soon Su Zhaozheng became excited, because the more important people came, the more likely their wishes would come true.

Under the leadership of Su Zhaozheng, the workers shouted the slogan of protest again, and the sound shook the world and the momentum was quite astonishing.Looking at this group of workers in rags but full of fighting spirit, Zhao Shouhong knew that they were driven to a desperate situation, so they took such a risk.

He didn't have the slightest dislike for these people, and he didn't even have any dislike for the Hualan Communist Party that launched the strike.This is not only determined by the kind of patriotism and party education of later generations, and my original identity, but a sense of responsibility to the people.Only such a party that is deeply rooted in the people can discover mistakes in governance in time and keep the country from getting lost.After using the Hualan Pioneer Party to replace the historical mission of the Hualan Communist Party, Zhao Shouhong thought of the significance and role of this party for the first time.

"Hi everyone." Zhao Shouhong said suddenly.Although his voice was not loud, it made everyone quiet.Now that the senior government official has come out, it means that he is willing to listen to the opinions of the people. There is no need to shout slogans at this time.

Zhao Shouhong looked at the crowd of workers, and said again: "I am Zhao Shouhong, the general manager of the Western Special Zone. This time, I heard that you have difficulties, so I came here in person. Now I am here. If you have any difficulties Just tell me that in the Western Special Zone, everyone has the right to live and receive corresponding labor remuneration. As long as your right to live is threatened, you can submit opinions to the government. If the government does not solve the problem, you can Smash it here." He pointed to the government building while speaking.

9 Chapter Twenty Shipping Company

There was a whisper in the crowd, and then Su Zhaozheng strode out.He felt a little uneasy, because he knew that if the other party did something, he would definitely die without a place to bury him, but he had to go out.After going on strike for so long, what they want is for the government to help solve the problem. Now that the government has made a promise, and it was personally guaranteed by General Zhao Shouhong of the Western Special Zone, he must try.

Facing Zhao Shouhong, Su Zhaozheng said loudly: "My lord, we have no intention of challenging the authority of the government, but we must report some situations. These brothers are workers of various shipping companies in Hong Kong. They risk their lives every day, Fighting against the wind and waves on the sea, there is no time to rest throughout the year. But their salary is difficult to support their families. Recently, due to frequent foreign trade, the business of the shipping company is booming, and the boss forces the workers to work overtime, but the wages are one cent Don’t give too much, we really can’t survive.”

Zhao Shouhong frowned when he heard this, and he asked, "My brother, how much do those companies pay you, and how many hours do you work every day?"

Su Zhaozheng said: "I work sixteen hours a day, and I only get two cents, which is Hua Yuan."

"What?" Zhao Shouhong was obviously furious. These damned Saar people simply don't treat Hualan people as human beings. They even paid people to work for [-] hours for only such a small amount of money. No wonder the workers couldn't stand it. up.Imagine a person who works such long hours every day, but his family does not have enough food and clothing. No one can bear it.

Zhao Shouhong suddenly bowed deeply to all the workers.Everyone was taken aback by his actions, and even Su Zhaozheng didn't understand why the other party made such actions.Zhao Shouhong raised his head and said to everyone: "I'm really sorry everyone. The Western Special Administrative Region government has taken over Hong Kong for more than a month, but it has failed to settle everyone's life. I am here to apologize to everyone. For those businessmen who lower their wages, we will never It will not be tolerated, and must be severely punished according to the labor law of the special zone. Since everyone is here today, we will go and reason with those people together. If they are stubborn, I will definitely give everyone an explanation."

"Okay." Hearing that the general is going to negotiate with the capitalists with them, the workers applauded, but Zhou Pingtong, the brigade commander of the Internal Guard Brigade who followed Zhao Shouhong, and a group of officials broke out in a cold sweat.If the Lord Chief wants to go to the factory with the parade, this is a big safety issue. If something goes wrong, no one can afford the responsibility.

Everyone wanted to stop them, but Zhao Shouhong couldn't help but walked down the steps quickly to the workers.The workers were a little moved to see that the general is so approachable, especially when Zhao Shouhong walked side by side with him and talked cordially with his dirty clothes, they even began to reflect on whether it was appropriate to put pressure on the government.Even Su Zhaozheng had to admire Zhao Shouhong's affinity.

Zhou Pingtong didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly led the guards to squeeze over to protect Zhao Shouhong's safety.However, Zhao Shouhong insisted not to let the guards surround him, and he wanted to go with the workers to judge the capitalists.The mighty team set out again, but this time the target was the largest Bardo shipping company in Victoria Harbour, which was also the largest shipping company in Hong Kong for the Saar people.

On the streets of Hong Kong, a strange scene appeared. A group of officials and soldiers actually walked together with ragged workers.Among them, the most gorgeously dressed official chatted eagerly with the dirty workers, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

In the ordinary life, there is such a novelty, which is obviously very attractive to the common people, and many citizens soon joined the parade.They looked at the official curiously, not knowing why he was here and was so close to the workers at the bottom.More and more people watched the excitement, and the parade expanded rapidly without knowing it, and soon filled several nearby streets.

The parade gradually approached the building of the Baduo Shipping Company, and in front of the building, there were already dozens of Saar people holding guns, nervously watching the direction of the parade.Walking nearly [-] meters away, Zhao Shouhong stood still. He frowned at the Saarmen holding guns, and then said loudly to the back: "Zhou Pingtong, come here."

"Yes." Zhou Pingtong, the brigade commander, was like a guard in front of Zhao Shouhong. He immediately squeezed through the crowd to come to Zhao Shouhong's side and raised his hands to salute meticulously.

Zhao Shouhong pointed to those people and said, "According to the laws of the Western Special Zone, no non-government organization is allowed to possess firearms. Now I order you to lead people to hand over their guns immediately, and you are allowed to kill them in case of resistance."

"Yes." Zhou Pingtong agreed loudly, and after leaving a dozen guards to protect Zhao Shouhong's safety, he rushed forward with more than 70 guards.

All the guards pulled out the fast and slow Mauser pistols at their waists and pointed at the nervous Saars.Zhou Pingtong took a step forward and shouted loudly in Saar: "Listen, you people, according to the laws of the Western District, no non-government organization is allowed to own firearms. You have violated the law. I now order you to surrender immediately, Otherwise I will kill you as pirates."

There was a sudden commotion among the Saar people, and one of them quickly shouted: "Huaran people, go back, this is the territory of the Saar people, not the place where you should come. According to the laws of the Saar Empire, we have overseas The firearms are legal, and you have no right to confiscate them." That man was obviously the leader among them, seeing him speak like this, the others also gripped their firearms tightly, obviously not intending to disarm them.

Zhou Pingtong frowned and continued loudly: "I repeat again, according to the new treaty signed a few months ago, Hong Kong has returned to the Hualan Kingdom, and is no longer the concession of the Saar Empire. In addition, the Saar people in China The extraterritoriality of the Lan Kingdom has also been cancelled, and now you are violating the laws of our country. I will give you five seconds, if you do not put down your arms by then, we will treat them as pirates."

Zhou Pingtong's words made those Saar people panic, but they still didn't intend to disarm.Seeing that the time was approaching, Zhou Pingtong said loudly: "Attention everyone, the bullets are loaded."

Just when the fire was about to break out, a hurried voice suddenly appeared upstairs: "Please wait a moment." An elderly man in Saar's gentleman's attire ran down in a hurry, and he waved a white handkerchief at him panting. Zhou Pingtong shouted: "My lord, please wait a moment, we are willing to disarm. We are all law-abiding businessmen, but we don't understand the laws of the SAR. Please forgive me."

Chapter 921 Don't give an inch

Seeing someone come out, Zhou Pingtong nodded, but he still didn't order everyone to take back their weapons.Seeing that the other party was still vigilant, the old Saarman said to the group of people behind him: "Everyone put down their weapons. Let's not confront the government. We are businessmen, not thugs."

Seeing the old man speak, those Saars reluctantly put their weapons on the ground, and then everyone stepped back a few steps.In order to ensure Zhao Shouhong's safety, Zhou Pingtong didn't dare to be careless. He sent ten guards over there, collected all the weapons, and removed the bolts of the guns, and then let Zhao Shouhong and others come over with confidence. .

Zhao Shouhong walked up to the old man and said in Saar: "Hi sir, I am Zhao Shouhong, the general manager of the Western Special Zone. This time I want to represent the workers in negotiating with your company. Please find someone who can take charge."

Although seeing those well-equipped and well-trained guards, the old man knew that a big man might be coming, but he never expected that it was actually Zhao Shouhong who came in person.When the other party announced his name, he was so frightened that he almost dropped his cane on the ground.The old man's face was a bit ugly, he said quickly: "Our boss is upstairs, I'll introduce you." After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, and went upstairs to inform the boss first.

Edward, the boss of Baduo Shipping Company, heard that Zhao Shouhong was coming, so he hurried out of the office to greet him in person.But when he saw a large group of workers squeezing in, Edward's expression changed.The old man also sensed the seriousness of the problem, and he hurried forward and said: "There are too many people, go down quickly, as long as General Zhao is the representative." No one listened to his words, and the workers were still going Squeeze forward.

Seeing the sweating old man, Zhao Shouhong smiled and said to Su Zhaozheng: "You should talk to the workers and find a few representatives to go in with me. After all, we are here to negotiate, so we don't need so many people."

Su Zhaozheng nodded and said, "Okay, let me talk about it." He turned around and communicated with the workers. After a while, everyone withdrew from the building. Except for Zhao Shouhong, Su Zhaozheng, Zhou Pingtong and five or six guards, only Three other worker representatives.

Under Edward's guidance, these people walked towards the office. Zhao Shouhong turned his head to the old man Saar and said, "Your family is not the only one I want to negotiate with this time. You send someone to go and let some workers go on strike." All the shipping companies, please send the person in charge, and I will discuss it together."

"Yes, yes." The old man nodded and hurried downstairs.Those native Hong Kong workers, who have never seen the Saar people who show off their might so obediently on weekdays, couldn't help covering their mouths and sniggering. Only Edward's face was quite embarrassed.

Everyone sat down in the spacious office, Zhao Shouhong said: "I am here this time to represent these workers in negotiating with the factory. After all, the Western Special Zone is not an autocratic government. We protect commercial activities and will not suppress businessmen without reason. I have listened to the explanations of the workers just now, and now I hope Mr. Edward can explain a thing or two to me."

Because Zhao Shouhong speaks Saar language, although these native Hong Kong people have learned some Saar language on weekdays because of the Saar concession, but it is a simple communicative language.Most of what Zhao Shouhong said now was diplomatic rhetoric, and most of them couldn't understand them.Seeing what Zhao Shouhong did today, Su Zhaozheng also knew that he was a good official for the people, and he was relieved to let him negotiate with the Saar people. After all, the title of anti-foreign hero was not called for nothing.

Edward looked at the worker representatives next to him and said: "We Saar merchants strictly abide by business principles and never do anything illegal. I think this time the workers deliberately found fault and made a lot of rude demands. The government Since the rights of businessmen should be protected, such strikes should be suppressed."

Zhao Shouhong's face remained unchanged, he listened to Edward's statement with a smile, and then asked suddenly: "Your company has never done anything illegal?"

"Of course, I can guarantee this." Edward nodded.

"Very good, then how much do you pay the workers, and how many hours do they work every day?" Zhao Shouhong asked back.

Edward said with some embarrassment: "This is an internal matter of the company, and the government has no jurisdiction."

"Who said that?" Zhao Shouhong's face suddenly became serious: "According to the provisions of the labor law that has been promulgated for several years in the Western Special Zone, the working hours of workers shall not exceed eight hours a day, and the daily salary shall not be less than two Chinese yuan. I don't know. Did your company comply."

"This..." Edward's face changed several times, but he was completely speechless.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, and a Saar merchant with a big beard came in, and he said as he walked: "My lord, with all due respect, such a high salary and such a short working time, our The company simply cannot operate."

"Really?" Zhao Shouhong gave him a cold look and said, "I haven't asked your name yet."

The man took off his top hat and saluted: "Hello, my lord, I'm Bakb, the general manager of Nissun Shipping Company."
