Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

There are so many people looking for a way out these days. Chen Zhongying wants to find a way out, and so do the crew members of Gaosheng Navigation.

Strictly speaking, these are the shipowners who signed a ship leasing contract with Gao Yao.

For example, Mu Yi.

Mu Yi is here to deliver a letter of credit to Gao Yao.

Years ago, Sandus told Gao Yao that after research and evaluation, HSBC believed that it could provide loans to Gao Yao's ships.

A first for a generation!

But there is a prerequisite, there must be a letter of credit, which is the so-called guarantee.

That's very simple. Muyi is a big customer of HSBC and also an important customer for chartering ships. He came forward to find HSBC to open it himself...

After opening it, I sent it to Gao Yao.

"Doctor Gao."

We haven’t seen each other for a while. Mu Yi looks quite haggard. This guy is busy...

As the war there becomes more intense, the alliance has more things to do, and Mu Yi, as the helmsman of the alliance, naturally becomes busier.

"Mr. Mu, congratulations on getting rich."

Gao Yao smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. I heard that you are very busy recently."

"Serve the people."

Mu Yi handed the document bag to Gao Yao: "This is the letter of credit requested by Mr. Li."

"Thank you."

Gao Yao casually took it and put it aside. Seeing that Mu Yi had dark circles under his eyes, he advised: "The body is the capital of revolution."

"Mr. Mu, although you have to work hard, you still need to pay attention to your health."

Mu Yi smiled slightly: "Until victory comes, these old bones can still hold on."

Gao Yao was in awe. He admired these revolutionaries who really risked their lives in order to shape a new China.

"Mr. Mu, we are old friends."

To be honest, Gao Yao really made a lot of money from United...

For example, boat rental, western medicine, etc.

Of course, he should earn the money. In the entire Hong Kong Island, he is the most realistic price offered by someone else.

Especially penicillin. Looking at the entire Hong Kong Island, who can do it like him without adding glucose to it?There are also Western medicines, which are all serious products, without any flour!

"If you have anything to do, just tell me straight to the point."

Mu Yi pondered for a moment and then said: "Dr. Gao, there are two crews on board, and we want to change them."

Generally, a boat is rented with the person and the boat together. Gaoyao must not only provide the boat, but also the crew.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of sailors on Hong Kong Island, and the ship recommendation centers are also very good, so you can easily find enough crew members.

"no problem."

Gao Yao agreed immediately. He knew that some of Lianhe's business was relatively secretive, so he thought Lianhe might not want to leak the secrets, so he didn't take it seriously.

As for the replaced crew members, Mr. Gao just paid them a sum of money.

Mu Yi saw that Gao Yao didn't seem to understand the situation. Then he remembered that Gao Yao didn't go to the shipping company very often. Maybe he really didn't know the inside story.

He is a soldier who has been tested by the fire of revolution. He gritted his teeth and said: "Dr. Gao, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"please say."

Gao Yao's expression suddenly became serious. Is there something else going on here?Or are you looking for yourself in the north?

He thought about it, that was a problem.

At least the current Gao Yao does not want to have too direct contact with the north...

Mu Yi said: "I heard from people that the wages of the crew members on the ship are often withheld."

Gao Yao was startled, his face suddenly darkened, and he regained his composure after a moment: "That's it."

"Thank you, Mr. Mu, for reminding me."

Mu Yi nodded: "It's the rule, but hey, I'm too talkative."

He stood up and said, "Dr. Gao, I won't send it away."

Withholding salary?

Gao Yao called Axia: "Axia, how are the wages of the crew members of the Shipping Department distributed?"

Axia quickly said: "According to the contract, the salary is uniformly distributed to the ship recommendation hall, and then they pay it to the crew."

"Because the crew members all sign contracts with the shipbuilding companies first, this is the only way."

A car and boat shop is just like a boat shop. This boat shop is like a human being.

Gao Yao reacted immediately. He didn't expect that a third party would become popular on Hong Kong Island at this time.

Axia saw Gao Yao's serious expression and asked, "Brother Yao, are you deducting salary from recommending the shipyard?"

She is a smart person. She learned accounting and other skills when she was at home since she was a child, and she is very clear about them.

He immediately said: "If that's the case, it wouldn't be surprising."

"Recommending a shipbuilding company to hire crew members will naturally lead to geese plucking their feathers."

"I heard that the general rule is to deduct the first three months' salary."

Gao Yao thought to himself that this is really the same as that of later generations. Damn it. It seems that no matter what era it is, in fact, the roots are exactly the same.

"I want brother."

Axia sighed: "There is really nothing we can do about it. If we don't go through the ship recommendation hall, it will be difficult to find crew members, and they may not dare to come."

Gao Yao shook his head. He had never heard that you had to go through a third party to work in a factory.

He only knows that in future generations, if big factories are willing to recruit directly, those who want to start work will be able to overcome all barriers.

"Mr. Mu just came to see me."

Gao Yao said in a deep voice: "He said he was here to deliver me a letter of credit, but actually he was telling me about the crew."

He looked at Axia, he thought Axia was good, she had a beautiful heart and a beautiful person, and she was his right-hand man, Gao Mou.

"Axia, do you know what this means?"

Gao Yao said quietly: "It means that the crew members are very likely to be exploited very badly, which has already affected the operation of the ship."

"If you don't believe it, you can check the ship's maintenance records."

Gao Yao never believed that a person who was exploited would work hard and do things seriously, and he knew better that for Mu Yi to take the initiative to bring it up, it meant that the grievances were very serious.

Axia was taken aback, and she immediately said: "It's true."

"Vessel reports indicate that items are often lost while underway and repairs are short and frequent."

Gao Yao chuckled: "They are being exploited and don't dare to give in because they are afraid of losing their jobs."

"So we can only make small fuss."

He sighed, this nation has always been like this. As long as there is still a mouthful of food to eat, they will never dare to cause any big trouble.

Axia said: "In the future, we will recruit our own sailors?"

She hesitated and said, "Would it break the rules?"

"Rules are meant to be broken."

Gao Yao pondered, he thought it was a bit funny, this shipyard must be connected with the seamen's union.

Exactly 20 years ago, it was this seamen's union that launched an unprecedented seamen's strike in order to fight for the interests of seafarers.

It directly turned Hong Kong Island into a smelly port...

It has only been 20 years, but the union is still doing this to its own people?
Axia said: "Husband, the seamen's union is not easy to mess with."

"I'm not easy to mess with either."

Gao Yao said calmly: "All these existing contracts are invalid, and the shipbuilding company should compensate them according to the price."

"Don't worry about the money."

“The most important thing in doing business is reputation, and you need to treat people as human beings.”

Gao Yao believed that it was reasonable for our ancestors to say that people are inherently good by nature.

In later generations, Northern Europe established a high welfare system. When it was launched, there was a lot of criticism in the world.

Most experts criticize the system for being careless and fostering lazy people.

They think that allowing a person to live a reasonably good life on the dole without working is digging his own grave.It will greatly increase the financial burden on the country, and at the same time make other people who are working seriously dissatisfied. By then, the whole people will be at ease.

Quite the opposite is true…

With high welfare, people are more motivated and pursuing...

It's wicked!
In fact, Gao Yao thought it was not that complicated. Our ancestors had already said that if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette. These experts are just selectively ignoring it.

Axia hummed, her heart warmed, it was so rare to have a brother.

"This world should not be black and white, nor should it be a simple jungle of the weak and the strong."

Gao Yao walked slowly with his hands behind his back. Capital always consciously looks for the place with the lowest production cost.

Not only does the cost have to be low, but it also has to be efficient.

Looking at the five continents, it seems that the struggling people in East Asia are the most hardworking.

This is one of the main reasons why Hong Kong Island was able to transform into industrial production in the 50s due to the embargo restrictions of Americcon.

Although he may not necessarily be able to change the general trend, Gao Yao believes that at least he can start from himself and lead by example.

"Let's build a school."

Gao Yao will build several schools this year, including the college we just discussed with Tang Junyi, Grantham Junior College, plus those literacy classes...

Nowadays, it is normal to have an additional school dedicated to training seafarers.

Axia was stunned. Is there a school specially built for sailors?

"That's it."

Gao Yao said: "My initial idea is that the training is free, but after they complete the course, they have to sign a three-year service contract with us. After the expiration, they can come and go as they please."

Axia thought to herself, isn't this just doing a good deed?However, she naturally supported what her brother wanted to do, so she said softly: "I'll discuss it with Mr. Li."

"Ah."

Gao Yao said: "We should treat it as a long-term undertaking."

……

Huang Agou also thinks so. He believes that Sihai Security is also a long-term business, but it has not been opened at the gold and silver trading center. To be honest, it makes him anxious.

It's fine now. Li Si fell from the sky and was robbed, but Huang Agou was very happy.

Soon, the bad guy who was hiding on the Tan Ka Tsai boat in Seac Pai Wan was found out. In addition to him, there were three accomplices.

These guys are considered sharp, and they actually know how to run to Shek Pai Wan to avoid disaster.

Normally, you would never find it in a place like that.

But who made the whole world, black and white, to attack them now?There is no escape from heaven and earth.

"Old Wang, you are quite powerful."

Huang Agou looked at the bad boy kneeling on the ground with a dead smile: "It's so bold to cause trouble in my territory."

"Brother Dog, Brother Dog, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

The bad boy pointed at Li Si and said, "He is not from Chaozhou."

The bad boy Wang had already found out clearly that Sihai Security only cares about Chaozhou people, so he dared to attack Li Si.

Even so, just in case, he went to Yongle Street before taking action.

The main thing is safety first.

"Fuck your mother's fart."

Huang Agou looked at his brothers. These bastards all had big mouths. When did he say that Sihai Security was only responsible for Chaozhou people?
He scolded: "We are all brothers from all over the world. You are trying to steal money from my territory just because you don't give me face."

Huang Agou lazily talked nonsense with the bad guy. He walked towards Li Si and said, "Brother Li, please tell me first how much you will lose."

"I'll always help you concoct it."

"no, I'm fine."

Every day, Li Si felt like there was nothing in sight.

It's so magical. The things that were stolen can be recovered within half a day?
"Brother Huang, I am very satisfied with these."

Li Si then took out a piece of small yellow croaker and handed it to Huang Agou: "Thank you, Brother Huang, for your help."

Huang Agou smiled and said, "Since something happened to you on Bonham East Street, that's what I, Mr. Huang, should do."

"It's not easy to go out. Put it away so no one can see it."

Li Si was stunned.

Huang Agou had already turned back to Wang Zaiwang and others: "Do you want to die or live?"

Several people nodded desperately: "Brother Dog, I want to live, I want to live."

Huang Agou said slowly: "If you want to live, you can report to the miscellaneous room later."

"Just admit more cases that need to be admitted. Anyway, if you have more debts, you won't have to worry about it."

A newbie next to him didn't seem to understand, so he said timidly: "What if you don't recognize it?"

"Fall on the street!"

Before Huang Agou could say anything, the Bad Boy Wang became anxious. He knocked over the raw melon and egg, and then yelled: "Brother Gou is giving us a chance, do you understand?"

"Do you think anyone can help Sir carry the case?"

"Dog brother."

The bad boy smiled apologetically at Huang Agou again: "This kid has stupid eyes, I will talk him through."

"It doesn't matter. If you can't figure it out, just jump into the sea."

Huang Agou asked someone to take away the bad boy king, and then he walked towards the gang of bad boy king's comrades,
"Where's your boss Tang Shuiying?"

"Dog brother."

Huang Agou, who was full of aura, suppressed the group of people with pale faces. One of them said tremblingly: "Don't worry, my boss will definitely come."

"Then have a look."

Huang Agou didn't care about this. If Tang Shuiying didn't come, this guy wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the world.

"Set a stove."

Unknowingly, the sky had turned dark. For the first time, Huang Agou felt that he had something to do. Time passed so quickly.

He turned around and looked at Li Si, who looked like he was either leaving or not, then he smiled and said, "Brother Li, you want to go back?"

Li Si was a little embarrassed. Huang Agou didn't accept money, which made him a little confused about what to do.

"Yes, you have been out for a long time, so your family may be worried."

Huang Agou called Paiguqiang over: "Aqiang, you go back with Brother Li."

"To avoid any further trouble."

Li Si felt ashamed and said: "Brother Huang, you are helping me like this, I don't know what to do."

He gritted his teeth and said: "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water."

"If mine is used in the future, I will do my best."

"Need not."

Huang Agou waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you want to thank us, thank our President Gao."

"It was the president who asked us to set up a post on Bonham East Street to protect the villagers."

President Gao…

Li Si chewed silently in his heart, he knew this person.

After coming to Hong Kong Island, this is the name I hear the most.

Any Chinese person will smile as soon as he mentions this name, as if he is very honored.

Because of this, a saying has recently become popular in Hong Kong: If people don’t know Dr. Gao, even if they call him a hero, it will be in vain!

"Thank you."

Li Si bowed in groups, his eyes filled with moisture. These people met him unexpectedly, but they were willing to help him in times of crisis.

"If one day."

Li Si solemnly said: "I will definitely repay President Gao and all of you for your kindness."

Everyone laughed, but no one took this to heart. (End of chapter)
