Workers? There are only laborers here.
Chapter 2753 Workers? There are only laborers here.
"Xiao Tao, you can rest assured that you've entrusted your people to me."
Han Xuanfeng's voice, tinged with pride, rang out as he held the phone.
"Brother Han, thank you for your trouble. It's the first time these guys have gone out, and I'm worried they might cause some trouble."
"Of course, we're not afraid of trouble if it happens, but I just feel it's not good to keep bothering you."
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Han Xuanfeng immediately laughed, "You little rascal, you really dare to think that way."
"If I really go, I'll have to go back to Beijing right away."
Yang Xiaotao laughed on the other end of the line, "It's good that you're back. We don't have to be so far apart to drink anymore."
Han Xuanfeng shook his head.
"By the way, what's the status of that helicopter you mentioned last time?"
Han Xuanfeng asked about the matter he was concerned about.
This matter has been a source of worry for him lately.
Nothing else, we lost to that bastard Zhang again in the last exercise.
Both sides' soldiers performed similarly this time, but Old Zhang, relying on his superior number of main battle tanks, charged around recklessly, making him look bad on the field.
That's when he remembered the helicopter that Yang Xiaotao had mentioned to him.
"We're cooperating with Jinling Aeronautical Institute, as well as the Fifth and Sixth Ministry of Machine Building."
Yang Xiaotao didn't hide anything and briefly explained the situation.
"It should be finished soon. If you're in a hurry, contact Jinling Aeronautical Academy and ask for details."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Han Xuanfeng immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll contact the academy in a bit, and we'll talk again if anything comes up."
After a few brief pleasantries, I called Jinling Aeronautical College.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao sat in his office, looking at the design drawings on his desk, somewhat absentmindedly.
Looking back out the window, my thoughts drifted to Hong Kong.
"I hope everything goes well."
Is this Hong Kong?
"This building is so tall."
"Look, there are so many foreigners with big noses!"
On a double-decker bus, a group of young people were talking quietly, occasionally letting out gasps of surprise.
Some of these young people were wearing Zhongshan suits with pens tucked into their pockets, and their upturned collars gave them a very dignified and serious appearance.
Some were wearing white shirts, blue-gray pants, belts, and short hair, looking very energetic.
Others wore overalls and had short, neat hair that reached their ears, making them look very capable.
This is a clothing decision that young people made after much deliberation.
Under normal circumstances, they would prefer to come wearing grass-green military uniforms.
But this is Hong Kong, so there are more considerations. This time, I changed out of my military uniform.
Even so, a canvas shoulder bag with a red five-pointed star printed on it became the standard for everyone.
As the group of young people looked around, those around them were also observing the group in the car.
One look and you can tell where it comes from just by looking at it – its rustic and unsophisticated style.
But is this blatant blatantness a sign of a policy change?
But those who are observant will immediately look away when they see a neat row of people dressed in gray clothes on the first floor.
No wonder this bus can swagger around the city like that; just by looking at the people sitting inside, like statues, you can tell where they're from.
Their gaze returned to the young man on the top floor.
These people are not simple.
The bus drove through the crowd.
Several middle-aged men with sallow complexions leaned against the wall at the street corner, watching the car approach and then walk away.
The leader had a square face, but his eyes were downcast, giving him a gloomy appearance.
"Brother, they are brothers from the north."
A thin young man behind him spoke up, then watched the bus drive away, saying with a hint of worry, "I wonder where these guys will be taken."
"Big brother, should we help you out?"
After the skinny young man finished speaking, the others behind him echoed him. They were all from out of town, who had secretly come to Hong Kong to beg for food.
As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears.
Having worked my way up in Hong Kong, I understand even better the benefits of people from the same hometown sticking together.
At the very least, they will be bullied less.
Just as the others were urging him on, the eldest brother waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, they're different from us."
"no the same?"
The older brother nodded, then sighed, "They must have come openly and honestly."
After he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
The next second, a young man whose eyes were practically popping out of their sockets jumped up, shouting, "They've attacked! They've won!"
Bang
Before the young man could continue speaking, the older brother kicked him in the stomach.
"Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting?"
The young man clutched his stomach and vomited bile, only then did the panic on his face fade.
"Xiao Hua, didn't you say you wouldn't touch this stuff anymore?"
Suddenly, the older brother noticed a few small plastic bags lying on the ground. He bent down to pick them up, and with just one glance, his expression turned ruthless.
The young man, Xiao Hua, was so frightened that he backed away, crying out, "B-Big brother, I didn't, I didn't!"
"This isn't mine, this isn't mine."
Bang
The older brother kicked him in the head, and the young man, Xiao Hua, covered his head and lay on the ground, too afraid to move.
“Tell me the truth.”
The older brother shouted fiercely, and the young man dared not hide anything, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, it's Jing. She found a boyfriend who is a swindler, and she asked me to help her sell them."
"Brother, it really isn't true."
boom!
Another kick followed, this time the older brother showed no mercy.
The young man collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The eldest brother looked at the others with a sharp gaze, "Do you know why our ancestors were so wealthy, yet now we're so poor and destitute?"
"That's why."
"It's all because of this thing."
The older brother threw the small white bag on the ground and crushed it.
"I've said it before, from now on, no one who follows me is allowed to touch this stuff."
"Whoever touches it dies!"
Those around him shuddered at the sound of his voice, then nodded in unison, "Yes, Brother Qiang."
The older brother nodded, then watched the bus drive away, a hint of regret rising in his heart.
This place may seem extravagant and decadent, but it's actually a paradise for only a select few.
Most people, like him, struggle at the bottom of society.
In some ways, it's even worse than my hometown.
"go!"
The eldest brother led his men away quickly, leaving behind only an unconscious young man and white powder scattered by the wind.
"Team leader, take a look at this."
In the workshop of the new era production factory, Director Yu looked at the team members walking over with a solemn expression.
"Old Li, what's wrong now?"
Director Yu was having a headache. He had been working here for three days, and it was always the same problem: something was wrong here or something else.
Half the time has passed, and not a single game console has been made yet. I'm so anxious that I've even developed blisters in my mouth.
"Team leader, we've found the cause; it's a problem with the circuit board manufacturing process."
Old Li walked up to them with a circuit board in his hand, his expression serious.
Team Leader Yu frowned. "The circuit board issue, wasn't it already resolved?"
"Didn't you teach me how to do it?"
"Why is there still a problem?"
Director Yu was quite angry. In fact, he had drunk a lot of water these past few days, but his urine was still yellow.
Of course, the researchers on the sidelines weren't much better off either.
Old Li felt wronged as well. "We did teach them."
"Okay~~"
Old Li had something he wanted to say, but he was afraid that saying it would affect unity, so he kept it to himself.
Upon seeing this, Director Yu guessed the reason.
The workers here are no good.
They were saying the same thing, so there was no problem with not understanding.
But some people just deliberately act superior, refusing to listen to anything they're told and refusing to do anything they're asked to do.
These past few days they've realized it; they just don't want to follow their arrangements.
Da Xi looked down on them.
If someone like that were in their factory, they would have been dragged out and locked up long ago.
However, this is Hong Kong, and everyone here follows the rules.
"Let's go find Team Leader Guo."
Director Yu knew that if this matter wasn't resolved, it wouldn't be settled even in thirty days, let alone three.
Upon arriving at the office, Director Yu saw Team Leader Deng there as well, so he closed the door and began to recount the day's events.
Guo Liang is also having a headache.
Logically speaking, there should be no problem with the factory's machinery and equipment, and the raw materials used in production should also be inspected by researchers and found to be without issues.
There's no way they shouldn't be unable to do it.
Now, Director Yu's explanation made Guo Liang understand the reason for the matter, and he was then somewhat troubled.
After all, these are the other party's workers.
What if things escalate and become difficult to handle?
The group realized the problem and then all looked at Guo Liang.
The pressure instantly fell on Guo Liang.
After a moment of silence in the room, Guo Liang finally got up.
The incident has already occurred, the problem has been identified, so let's solve it.
If it can't be solved, then try a different approach.
After leaving the office, Guo Liang found Li Ge, who was maintaining order at the factory.
Li Ge and his group had a completely different attitude towards Guo Liang and his ilk.
You can feel the warmth of family in these men.
Through these days of communication, I've also learned about the other party's situation.
Guo Liang felt that these people weren't there to beg for food, but rather to carry out a mission.
After Guo Liang explained the situation, Li Ge remained silent.
"I think we should report this to our superiors and see if we can find a good solution to complete production as soon as possible..."
Guo Liang tried to explain, hoping to resolve the matter tactfully, but Li Ge raised his hand to interrupt him, then smiled and said, "Old Guo, I can handle this."
"you?"
Guo Liang was still somewhat skeptical, but Li Ge revealed a confident smile, "Old Guo, this is Hong Kong, it's different from the mainland!"
After saying that, he patted Lao Guo on the shoulder and said, "Come on, follow me to the workshop!"
Guo Liang was still a little confused, but Li Ge had already walked out of the office.
The group arrived at the workshop. Li Ge looked around and then stood in an open space.
"Stop! Stop!"
Li Ge clapped his hands, the sound of which was barely noticeable amidst the roar of the machines, but it quickly gathered the people together.
Clearly, no one was paying attention to their work.
Brother Li had a table brought over, then jumped up and looked down at the crowd below.
The guards from the surrounding factories stood behind him. They were members of the Flying Dragon Gang, and their bearded, fierce-looking bodies made the workers below immediately quiet down like quails.
"I'm hiring you to work. I'll provide two meals a day, and you'll get fifty yuan for a full day's work."
"Go out and ask around, who the hell has such a good deal?"
Li Ge swore loudly, making Guo Liang and the others exchange bewildered glances.
They found it hard to imagine how the kind and amiable comrade from before could suddenly become a completely different person.
Before they could react, Li Ge pulled out a piece of paper, glanced at it, and said irritably, "I asked you to do the work, but you all slack off and try to do nothing. The master taught you with all his heart and soul, and you didn't learn properly, but you just dragged me down."
"How the hell are you guys so capable?!"
The workers below were all silent, too terrified to even look Li Ge in the eye in the face of his roar.
"Group three, group six, group thirteen..."
"You, take your things and get out of here!"
"And another thing, since you haven't passed your probation period, you haven't received a single penny. You'd better make up for the food and lodging expenses!"
After Li Ge finished speaking, not only the workers below, but even Guo Liang and the others found it unbelievable.
This…
How can they charge money for this?
What kind of logic is this?
"Why!"
Someone shouted from the crowd, "We did the work too! We did the work, and you're not only not paying us, but you're also demanding money! You're going too far..."
People around shouted, and some even called for a protest.
Seeing this scene, Guo Liang's heart sank; this was exactly what he feared most.
However, before Guo Liang could speak, several people walked out from behind Li Ge and quickly came to the front of the crowd. In an instant, the crowd that was still shouting immediately shrank back like quails and dared not speak.
But the group wasn't finished. They dragged three people out of the crowd. These three were the ones who had led the trouble earlier.
Then, to everyone's horror, he was punched and kicked.
Instantly, cries of agony and pleas for mercy rose and fell.
Upon seeing this, Guo Liang frowned deeply.
What puzzled him even more was that the workers, who clearly outnumbered him, were all backing away, showing no backbone whatsoever.
crunch
Guo Liang clenched his fist, then relaxed it.
This is Hong Kong.
Finally, the three men were beaten until their heads were bleeding, and then they were dragged away from the factory.
Li Ge then snorted coldly, "If one person can't do the job well, the whole team is fired."
"This is the rule?"
"Do you understand?"
Li Ge roared, and the crowd below immediately nodded and responded in a cacophony of agreement.
"What the hell are you guys doing, eating like this? So quiet? Don't you want to eat lunch?"
"Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
This time the sound was noticeably louder.
Li Ge jumped off the table with satisfaction, then said to Guo Liang, "Captain Guo, you can continue."
"If you have any problems, feel free to contact me, and I'll take care of them!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Liangmu nodded blankly, then watched Li Ge walk away.
The next second, everyone in the workshop immediately returned to their posts, their swift movements surprising even the technical team.
Throughout the morning, these workers seemed like completely different people, working diligently and doing whatever they were told.
Before lunchtime, all six production lines had successfully produced game consoles.
Hearing that familiar voice, Guo Liang felt a mix of emotions.
He couldn't understand what the people here were thinking.
Workers shouldn't be like this.
During lunch, Guo Liang brought his chicken leg rice to Li Ge and voiced his doubts.
After hearing this, Li Ge finished the chicken leg and then sighed.
"When we first arrived, we also found it difficult to adapt."
"But gradually, I got used to it!"
"The people here fear power, not virtue."
"What they're afraid of is offending people involved in organized crime."
"As for the workers here, hehe..."
Li Ge finished his orange juice in one gulp before saying quietly, "There are no workers here."
"Only laborers!"
