Chapter 186: No benefits, jealous people
Chapter 186: The jealous person
"It's not because of you, you still have to leave guns for those white people?" As soon as Guo Jinzhang finished speaking, Hu Youde immediately muttered.
"The gun is originally their own. Do you want to try it?" Liang Zuying glanced over. Although Guo Jinzhang had discussed with some Chinese workers' leaders about whether to leave guns for white people and made a decision, the matter was not thorough. The Chinese workers who came out of Colorado were fine and strictly implemented the orders, but the Chinese in Chinatown did not have such good qualities. Although the "temporary military control committee" had already issued an order, some people were still disobedient and intended to forcibly surrender guns to some white people. As a result, it was self-evident that San Francisco had just been occupied by Chinese people, and those white people were the most insecure. At this time, the surrender of the gun just touched the sensitive point of the white people. A small-scale conflict broke out between the two sides, which almost caused a block of ***. In the end, it was Guo Jinzhang who ordered the Chinese workers' cavalry in Colorado to go to suppress the situation.
"If there is no gun, will they dare to rebel?" Hu Youde snorted coldly, still dissatisfied.
"Do you understand the cause and effect? No gun? There is a gun. If you rob it, then they will rebel... If you really have the ability, why didn't you seize the gun a few years ago?" Liu Tongfu retorted.
"You are still timid..."
"If I were timid, you wouldn't be sitting here now." Guo Jinzhang looked at him lightly: "Also, I don't want me to be interrupted for no reason when I speak, especially you! Do you understand?"
"You..." Hu Youde's expression changed again after being scolded by Guo Jinzhang so mercilessly. He was about to say something again, but was stopped by Deng Sanguan.
"Be honest with me." He Luyuan also glared at the side.
"Hmph!" So many people disliked themselves, especially Guo Jinzhang's eyes became colder and colder. Hu Youde did not dare to take any more thorns, and sat back with a cold snorted.
"I said earlier that there are many poor people among white people. Once these people have nothing to do, they may fall into a very embarrassing living environment, and may even be unable to survive. What will they do if they can't survive? Of course, they are taking risks. So, what we have to do is to prevent this danger..." Guo Jinzhang continued, "Maybe some of you will say that even if you want to prevent this danger, wouldn't it be enough to spend some money to give them some porridge, bread or something? There is no need to spend millions of dollars as troublesome. After all, it is millions of dollars, not a small amount of money for two cents."
"This is right. Millions of dollars are not three or two points. Are you careful?" Without Hu Youde's "enemy", Zhao Dachang began to have his usual habit of opposing Guo Jinzhang.
"It is precisely because of my caution that I brought up this million-dollar relief project." Guo Jinzhang smiled, "Everyone, San Francisco is very big, but in my eyes, this city is terrible in any aspect, especially on the streets, before they were occupied by us, there were almost horse manure everywhere... Is it smelly?"
"Of course it smells bad. Is that too much?" Liu Tongfu said.
"There are horse riding everywhere, and there are carriages. If it doesn't smell bad, wouldn't it be unreasonable?" Deng Sanguan also spoke.
"It's not only smelly, but also narrow!" Guo Jinzhang stretched out his finger and pointed it twice, "The road is narrow and it is inconvenient to walk, and there is no distinction between riding roads and sidewalks... Especially in some places with a large population, it often causes congestion."
"What's our business?" Li Asheng asked with a frown.
"Of course it's our business. Because the reason I suggest spending millions of dollars is to carry out municipal reforms and bring the old appearance of the San Francisco neighborhoods!" Guo Jinzhang said with a smile.
"Get a new look?" Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and it became more and more inexplicable and difficult to understand. We are Chinese, and we are carrying out municipal reforms for white people? Why? Hu Youde even wanted to get up and make a fuss again, but he also knew that Guo Jinzhang was really angry with him just now. If he got up and made trouble, he would probably anger the other party. This guy is the head of those people in Colorado. It is said that he cut off dozens of heads at one time. Although he had Chinatown as a backing, there was no need to do that. Moreover, He Luyuan next to him was also looking at him, so he still didn't stand up.
"Why municipal reform?" The reaction of the crowd was naturally seen in Guo Jinzhang's eyes. Seeing everyone's doubts, he began to tell his reasons again: "1. It is impossible for us to pull those white people out of the city to do any project. Because if we pull them out of the city, those white people are likely to resist... Because they leave their homes and the environment they are familiar with, they will feel dangerous. People are very likely to do irrational behavior in dangerous environments. And what about us? They do not have enough force to ensure that they can restrain these white people. It is not easy for us to let them stay in the city honestly and continue to live in the original way. Therefore, the construction site is only in the city, so that they will have a sense of security and feel that this job can be done."
"Secondly, San Francisco is an old city, a city formed by the spontaneous gathering of immigrants from all over the world. It is easy for residents to gather together. If we do not carry out municipal reforms, but simply build some houses in some places, it is very likely to infringe on the interests of some people. Of course, we have violated the interests of many of them now. However, these interests are more of their collective or national interests, and they have little to do with individuals, such as banks... The bosses of their banks are still far away in New York, and those bank managers and others have no reason to be unable to get along with us for the boss's money, and there is no reason to take risks to themselves. So, they won't do anything."
"Then we will not violate their interests by forcibly ordering the bosses of those factories to start construction?" Liu Tongfu asked.
"It's offended. But there's no big problem. Because those bosses actually still make money. As long as there's a profit, or even as long as they can maintain balance of income and expenditure, under our deterrence, they won't do anything extreme. Especially with their workers standing on our side," Guo Jinzhang said with a smile.
"Hmph, of course we are on our side. It's only eight hours a day, and the wages are not enough. Where can I find such a good day?" Zhao Dachang said with an unhappy look.
"That's why he said Jin Zhang was smart." Li Asheng smiled and patted him, "Give those workers good things and don't let them be bored... We all said that he was full, but who dares to say it now?"
"The bosses of those factories will definitely dare to say it, but they will only say it when they stay at home." Liang Zuying also smiled: "I'm afraid they wouldn't have thought that one day his workers would stand on our side and cause trouble for them."
"This is the benefit. Where profit comes, enemies who are incompatible and irreconcilable may also be held tightly together. Moreover, we have not violated the interests of most white people, so we are naturally more likely to be accepted by those who get benefits." Guo Jinzhang said.
"Then how to do this municipal project?" Deng Sanguan asked again.
"I said that road reconstruction, port cleaning, etc., are all OK." Guo Jinzhang replied.
"Can this work work?" Cheng Degui still seemed a little unsteady, "Don't forget, we are afraid that those white people will get together and cause trouble. Now they are still honest, but if they start any project, they will definitely get together. This is all strong labor. Once someone is inciting evil spirits, what should we do? Take action directly?"
"If someone deliberately *** the enemy and directly suppress it." Guo Jinzhang didn't hesitate, "However, once the project starts, I hope everyone can remember one thing, that is, our project this time is not really for doing anything good for San Francisco, nor for building any project. We are just to spend money to delay the citizens of San Francisco... Don't underestimate these projects. Why do Americans want to extinguish China? Just because we can do it and steal their jobs? No, this is just one of the reasons.
One reason is that the economy of the United States is not good now and many people cannot find jobs. In this case, they have met a group of hard-working Chinese like us. How can we not be anxious? But now that the city is under our control, they will feel uncomfortable no matter what. But at the beginning of these projects, even if they still look down on us in their hearts or even hate us, they will take the initiative to lean on our side for their own interests, and they will even become our right-hand man to maintain the current urban order."
"I don't believe it." Hu Youde finally muttered again with a rare slightest.
"Believe it or not is your own business." Guo Jinzhang glanced at him, "My plan is that after the municipal engineering starts, workers will pay two to three dollars a day according to the intensity of their work..."
"How many?" Everyone seemed to be shocked, especially the few people in Chinatown, who almost jumped up.
"Two to three dollars? Then what they get the most is, won't it be ninety dollars a month?" He Luyuan counted with his fingers, his eyes staring like a copper bell.
"That's right." Guo Jinzhang nodded.
"I object. This is too outrageous." Hu Youde shouted again.
"The objection is invalid." Guo Jinzhang was too lazy to even look at him.
"Ninety dollars a month? I said Brother Guo, do you know that the most profitable person in San Francisco may not be able to make this amount in a month?" Deng Sanguan turned into a collusion index finger with a wry smile on his face, "If the brothers in Chinatown know this, I'm afraid they won't even think about it, and they will just make up your project, so how could they let those white people do it?"
"I know my brothers have a hard life. But I said that the money is to let those white people who are fine have something to do, so as not to have trouble in their spare time; the other is to let them stand on our side for the sake of money and stabilize the city order. In this way, we can control San Francisco more firmly. Therefore, no matter who the brothers are, they cannot take this job." Guo Jinzhang said.
"Then you don't have to set that high, right?" He Luyuan shouted.
"Maybe that high, why should those white people stand on our side?" Guo Jinzhang asked back.
"Then, that's too high." Others still find it difficult to accept. Ninety dollars a month, and sixty dollars a month. Even among the white people, this is a high salary. And for Chinese people, this is even more unimaginable treatment... You know, even a relatively stable Chinese, earning thirty dollars a month in the United States is enough to be secretly happy, and when the Americans needed Chinese workers the most, they only gave twenty-six dollars a month.
"Anyway, we are not the ones who spend money, so what are you afraid of? Moreover, the American army is about to leave Nevada. Do you think this municipal project can be completed for a month? Even if it is settled one day, how much can it really be spent?" Guo Jinzhang said again.
"this……"
"Yes, Americans will arrive soon, why did you forget this?"
...
The current capitalist world is actually in an economic crisis of overproduction, so more and more white people are led by politicians and ulterior motives because they cannot find jobs, and are angry with the "cheap" Chinese workers. The reason why those politicians and ulterior motives do this is because they cannot find a way to solve the economic crisis and can only wait for the crisis to pass by themselves.
Throughout the history of the United States, only Roosevelt's "New Deal" played a certain positive role in the outbreak of the economic crisis. The wheelchair president, who was elected US president four times, increased national income by providing jobs to the unemployed and stimulated the balance between consumption and production. In the early days of Roosevelt's administration, there were more than 17 million unemployed troops nationwide. In 1934, the US government changed the simple relief to "work-for-relief", and clearly stipulated that no relief funds were paid to unemployed people with work ability, but helped them get wages by participating in different labor. This move created employment opportunities for the vast majority of unskilled unemployed workers. By the eve of World War II, the total number of projects invested by the government reached 23 million, accounting for more than 1/2 of the total labor population in the country. It played an extremely important role in increasing the income of low-income groups, narrowing the social distribution gap, and promoting increased demand.
Of course, Roosevelt's arrangement is just a very ordinary thing in the future New China. After all, it is just a means of "macro-control" of the economy and a form of socialist economy. At that time, some people criticized Roosevelt for doing social justice... However, in addition to leading the United States to win World War II and allowing the United States of America to take advantage of this war to win world hegemony, they successfully used the "New Deal" to fight against the most serious economic crisis in the capitalist world, but were also recognized by Americans and even Roosevelt's other great achievement.
Unfortunately, only Roosevelt has used this method. Before Guo Jinzhang came to the United States, Obama took over the US president. In order to fight the various difficulties brought to the United States by the economic crisis in 2008, he seemed to have thought about this. Unfortunately, after many years of construction, the United States' infrastructure construction has been extremely complete, and it can be used for many years. Not only does it not require more construction, but it is not even necessary to repair a large scale. This situation made President Obama, who had a headache, envious of China's high-speed rail... If the United States did not have it,
How good it would be to be so rich and have so many people? It would be impossible for everyone to take a plane or drive by themselves. The railway will become the most economical and most intimate mode of transportation for everyone. In that way, we can also board the high-speed rail... But unfortunately, all this is limited to Obama's yy. The first black president is likely to be overwhelmed by this economic crisis, and then leave the White House stage with a big blame on his back... Think about it, why do you, a black man, have to go to the "White" Palace for? Don't you know this is incompatible?
Of course, these are just some news circulating in society, and it is still a bit clear whether it is accurate. But Guo Jinzhang is very confident that as soon as his municipal engineering is launched, those white people who had no jobs or had no stable jobs will definitely respond immediately... At that time, these people will be the natural defenders of urban order. Back then, Roosevelt was elected four presidents and four presidents in a row. How unimaginable is this in the United States? Although this is mainly because Roosevelt led the American people to win World War II and win the world.
The hegemony of the world has made Americans feel unprecedentedly proud, but who dares to say that there is no contribution to the "New Deal"? Because of Roosevelt's powerful measures in the economic crisis, a large number of Americans won jobs. Therefore, they broke the rules that had been passed down for nearly two hundred years and sent the gentleman in a wheelchair to the White House four times. Now, even though there is a racial barrier, in a short period of time, those white people who had no jobs and had problems with full food suddenly received high salaries. Will they still oppose the Chinese occupying the city?
"Those who get the benefits will certainly not object, but those who don't get benefits will certainly object."
At the San Francisco Police Department, Charlotte, who had not appeared for a long time, faced Guo Jinzhang, who was sitting behind the desk with a pale face, and tried hard to keep calm.
"No benefit, jealous?" Guo Jinzhang has been very busy. However, when he heard that Charlotte, an "old friend" who had been at the Los Angeles Police Department, he still took time. However, he did not expect that the two of them would talk about this aspect while chatting, and Charlotte even put forward opinions on his policies.
"I have been the mayor for a long time and have some understanding of the psychology of some ordinary citizens. Although your plan can win over many people, especially those poor people, more people will feel uncomfortable or even resentful because they can only watch you give the benefits to those poor people who are usually at the bottom of society..." Charlotte said again.
