Chapter 446: Fight for the dock

  Chapter 446 Fighting for the dock

  When the carriage returned to Qingdao town, it was blocked on the road entering the town. Through the carriage window, you can see that there are many young and strong men standing in front, staring at each other like cockfighting.

"what happened?"

   "Return to Lord Zhao, this is the Chaoshan gang and the Jiangxi gang on the wharf in order to fight for the site. There are 1,500 and 600 people on both sides. No one is convinced, so the road is blocked, and the carriage is temporarily unable to pass."

"All of them are full, and I call them the leader and just talk to me. If you have something to do, go to the Liangguang teahouse in the town to drink tea, let them disband all people for me, let the road open, and then No one should eat anything like this. Quante should go and drink Northwest Wind."

   "I know Master Zhao, I'll go and spread the word."

"Humph……"

Zhao Qishan is the director of Qingdao Port Company. Whether it is small and medium trading companies that rent warehouses or gangs who carry life on the docks, they point to him to enjoy food and eat. On this three-acre area of ​​Qingdao Port, what he said is the rules, and no one can do it. violation.

  Although he is only a small shareholder holding 2.7% of the shares, he can represent the kitchen knife group of 4 and Tang Shaoyi's voting rights, totaling 6.6%, and he is a very influential company director.

  More than 80% of Qingdao Port Property's equity is controlled by the Pacific Shipping Company after the split. The company's chairman, general manager and other important positions are also controlled by the company, which is the true behind-the-scenes decision maker of the port.

As a local gentry who once won the honor of being a good citizen, Zhao Qishan is a deputy director of the Qingdao Town Royal Rancher Association, and a very influential town man. He has a strong say in the actual operation of the port. The right of a small gang to take jobs in the port is just a matter of flirty words.

  The young brawny who were crowded at the intersection to sunning their horses, somehow received a message from the gang boss, and quickly evacuated the place with people, and the road became clear again.

  The luxury carriages jammed outside the town drove in one after another. One of the carriages went straight to the entrance of the Liangguang Tea House. The two strong bodyguards on the carriage jumped off and welcomed the door respectfully along with the buddies in the teahouse.

   "Master Zhao is auspicious, you haven't come some days, please take a seat or two inside."

   "Hehe...you little monkey is very clingy."

  Zhao Qishan got off the carriage, looked around left and right calmly, and ordered; "The carriage should take the lady home first. She didn’t bother to listen to these rude guys chewing their tongues."

   "Yes, Lord Zhao."

   "I'll go up for tea first. People from the Chaoshan and Jiangxi gangs are here, let them lead them in and talk, and everyone else will stop me outside."

   "Understood, Zhao Ye, please go upstairs for an elegant seat."

"Um!"

  Zhao Qishan responded. Under the guidance of the shopkeeper in front of the teahouse, Shi Shiran walked up to the second floor and sat down in an elegant seat near the window. A shopkeeper had already served tea and 8 kinds of fruit seeds.

  Not long after

  Two powerful men walked in one after another, saluted Zhao Qishan respectfully, and then sat at the bottom of the tea table one by one.

Among them, Zuo Da, the leader of the Jiangxi Gang, is a strong middle-aged man. He looked at Yudan Kun, the leader of the Chaoshan Gang coldly, and the anger on his face flashed away. He clasped his fists and said to Zhao Qishan; Come on, today our two families have had some unhappiness, which is causing you trouble. Please allow me to report this matter..."

"The surname is Zuo, why is Master Zhao patient to listen to your wicked remarks? You Jiangxi gang obediently let go of Pier 3, and everyone takes a step back. Our Chaoshan gang is no exception. They are in the arena for money. Not to beg for breath..."

   "Do you dream of Qingqiu, Pier 3 is our site. If you want to take it away, you have to see if my hundreds of brothers agree."

   "Huh, there is no room for you Jiangxi guys to be poor..."

   "Shut up all of you!"

  Zhao Qishan slammed his eyebrows, and the two of Zuo Da and Yudan Kun were stunned, and they shut up, but they still stared at each other fiercely, wishing to kill each other alive.

   "I haven't spoken yet, you two have made arrangements clearly, have you forgotten whose side the dock is?" Zhao Qishan's angry expression loomed, staring at both of them and said;

  "How long have you two been here, and have there been two years?

  If you want to eat here, you must abide by my rules, otherwise I will shun you. The three-legged toads in this world are hard to find, and there are many immigrants with two legs.

   Openly ran to the entrance of the town to bask in horses. Isn’t it enough to have a good life and want to spend the second half of your life in the hard labor camp?

  If you think so, I can satisfy you.

Don’t forget who’s heaven is here, don’t bring over your brave and fierce set in the old world, here is the dragon who has to hold it for me, the tiger has to lie down for me, this is the Lord’s earl’s. The world is governed by a constitutional system.

Not to mention you poor workers who are sweaty, domineering white Dutch and local white cowboys, Lord Earl also kills when you say that you kill them, and you don’t want to be a **** who hangs on the gallows. Several of you.

Use your brain to do things. Queensland is a place where rules are held. In the past few years, those horse bandits who murdered unblinkingly hung on the gallows in rows. You have never seen such a spectacular sight, you poor ghosts, you really don’t know how to be afraid. What is it?

  Go out to inquire about the elderly, and then consider whether to fight for the dock, I am afraid that you will have your life to grab it, and you will not have the life to enjoy it. "

   He denounced the pale faces of the two big men, and looked at each other with a look of fear.

  This kind of well-known thing needs to be inquired. In the past few years, the cleanup operation in northern Queensland was very loud, especially the killing of hundreds of horse bandits outside Burns. It was really **** and horrible.

The horse bandits caught in the northern towns must either be thrown into the forced labor camps or put on the gallows. There is no third way out. Every township is surrounded by a row of gallows. The hanged horse bandits hanging on it is spectacular. A big shock deterred the lawlessness.

  From then on

  North Queensland's law and order is clear. Cowboys will surrender their weapons obediently when they drink in the tavern. It is difficult to see vicious criminal cases of rape. After all, breaking the criminal law is not fun, it is really deadly.

  Private ranchers used to be guest horse bandits, but now no one does it.

  Once all the property is found and confiscated, whether you are a white or a Chinese adult man on the gallows, and an adult woman thrown into the brothel of the Chu Pavilion brothel, it will be completely over.

Queensland implements severe penalties to crack down on illegal crimes, but there is no cell yet. Once convicted and not eligible for the gallows, they will inevitably be thrown into the mine forced labor camps and use sweat to wash off their crimes. It will be difficult to come out again in this life. NS.

  After all, hard labor camps are not vacation camps, where they are doing more tiring work than livestock and eating food that is worse than pigs. Whether they can survive it or not is a matter of question.

  Boss Zuo and Yudankun knew the stakes, and stood up palely, and suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Qishan with a "plop".

   "We are all to blame for our ghosts and minds, and we have done something wrong with our heads. Please Master Zhao forgive me a lot of this time. In the future, we will definitely cultivate the longevity tablet for you. Only Zhao Ye will look forward to it."

   "It was all for this group of hard-working brothers, who caused this misfortune, and I asked Master Zhao to punish him. In the future, I will have my life, and there will be no non-compliance."

   "Come on, what's the use of I want you guys like these stinky coolies? Let's all get up and talk." Zhao Qishan's face was slightly stunned, Void raised his hand to make them stand up, and then said earnestly;

  "It’s true that I, Hirota and I came to Australia a few years ago, and they both had no longevity. Every bit of hard work has led to our current wealth.

  You have been here for two years, knowing that it’s easy to have a bite of food and clothing here, and it’s not a big deal to eat big fish or meat, just let go of your belly and eat.

  Such a good thing, I can’t even dream of it in the old continent.

  But in the world of Australia, as long as you are willing to work hard, eating meat is just the simplest wish. Thanks to the blessing of Lord Earl, you can get rich.

  Look around the world

  The newspaper said that the railroad piglets who were sold to North America lived a miserable life in the white society?

Apart from anything else, just look at those autonomous states in southern Australia where whites dominate. Chinese immigrants have no right to marry a wife or own their own property. They have to pay an extra pound in taxes every month. The hard-earned wealth is always available. It is possible to be blackmailed by white people. This is the real situation of Chinese compatriots overseas.

  You can have a good life today, all of which depends on Lord Earl to hold up a sky and protect millions of Chinese overseas citizens to live the good life they dream of.

I don’t want to know what you are at the pier, and I don’t want to know. I know that you are fed and dressed warmly, and you often go to the tavern to get drunk, prostitute Fuso women, prostitute Nanyang indigenous women, and even have money to gamble. , Life is not bad at all.

  No one cares about how you go to live your life, and it deserves to be drunk on the street.

  People must be content, and they must abide by the rules if they want to enjoy a happy and peaceful life. Otherwise, do you think that the tens of thousands of people armed to the teeth of Lord Earl are all good people and are born to do good deeds?

Don’t get lost with profit, whether you’re a gang or a court, a law-abiding association can be protected, but relying on the power of the gang to oppress the good, commit crimes, and engage in shameful deeds, there will be hundreds of mines. Life-long hard labor of thousands of people is not a big deal. Go back and think about it for yourself. Don't let me get dizzy all day long.

  As for the site, I won’t intervene and take care of it. You can discuss it by yourself, but next time there will be an open tanning phenomenon, you can choose 1 from the hard labor camp and the gallows. There is no third way to go.

  I only said so much for the sake of my compatriots, now you can go..."

  'S merciless reprimand, making Zuo boss and Yudankun sweat on their faces, and retired in a panic and respectfully.

  Zhao Qishan calmed down, picked up the tea cup and drank leisurely.

   Saying these words is really for the good of these people, otherwise the criminal law is violated while ignorant, it is really impossible to save the heavenly king and Laozi.

  Queensland’s current stable and peaceful situation completely relies on severe penalties to deter, which is a great thing in the interests of most immigrants and is universally supported.

  Chinese overseas immigrants are hard-working, hardworking, and generally introverted. They are unwilling to make a lot of right and wrong. They can inspire strong enthusiasm for construction in a peaceful environment.

  Looking at the gratifying scenes across Queensland today, we can know that as long as there is a suitable economic and social environment, every overseas Chinese can grow into a towering tree and grow into a member of the lush forest.

But this does not mean that everyone is like this. There are always brave, sly, and slippery people. They don’t want to work and just want to take shortcuts. They have been mistaken by the monk. This is also the case. .

  Especially since the beginning of this year, we have increased the intensity of the introduction of immigrants. It is inevitable that many people will bring in the vices of the old continent.

  At this time, we have to rely on the rules to do things again.

  If anyone who violates the criminal law should be flogged, they should be put into the forced labor camp, and they should be put on the gallows. There is nothing to say.

  The role of the law is to punish the past and the future, treat the sick and save people, and deter lawlessness. Regardless of whether the white Chinese or the upper-class nobles, all are treated equally, so as to form a fair and just legal environment and give people a sense of security.

  Zhao Qishan is not willing to get involved with these gang members too deeply, not to mention hundreds of thugs, because this may be hundreds of troubles.

  Jianghu loyalty is a double-edged sword. If the brothers suffer from a fight, do you want to help you? If you are caught by the police, do you want to get rid of them?

  Inadvertently violates the criminal law. In Queensland, the judicial system is an independent system. After all, Zhao Qishan is just a local gentry who has won good citizen rewards. Although he is quite powerful in Qingdao Town, he has no ability to cover the sky.

  If you accidentally play a big game, you will suffer.

  Okay, I can only do this, and the rest is up to you.

  The help that Zhao Qishan can give to these new immigrants ends here. He is now a rancher with no money. It is wise to keep a proper distance from the bottom of society. The so-called jade does not touch the earthen jar.

His mind turned to Lu Qiang, who left today. What made Lu Qiang, who has always been quite mindful, abandon his profitable port shares, discarded the mansions and shops in Qingdao Town, and plunged into the Jinshui River basin resolutely. Go in the development project.

  If Mayor Li Siyuan was bewitched, wouldn’t it be so powerful!

  What is Lujiazhen?

  It will not make Lu Qiang almost abandon most of his family and plunge into the Jinshui River Basin development project. Is it really for some ridiculous dream?

  Zhao Qishan thought about it, and gradually thought of a possible reason.

Lu Qiang is a rare person from Huguang, probably because of the irresistible involvement in the concept of locality and clan. He wants more people from the same family to come to Australia. To be precise, he immigrated to the Jinshui River Basin in Shangri-La and established a family belonging to his family. In Lujiazhen, this may be his real dream.

  For this, even if you give up most of your wealth, you will not hesitate to do so.

  This **** thing didn’t tell the truth to the few of us. Is it really that way?

  The more Zhao Qishan thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible. Although Lu Qiang can take security in Qingdao Town and migrate some fellow villagers from Huguang to come in, after all, there are only a few dozen people, at most hundreds of people, and large-scale introduction is impossible.

  However, there are preferential policies for the development of the Jinshui River Basin, and immigrants can be recruited at designated locations, but they need to pay a little more. This makes it possible for thousands of fellow villagers to migrate on a large scale.

   Lost this precious opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to see again next time.

  What a Lujia Town, it really lives up to its name.
