Chapter 388 The Shocked Old Wu

Speaking of Ye Qing, a group of people led the motorcade and just walked into the construction site, and the nearby Chinese workers rushed up.

Not to mention that Ye Qing has long been a well-known figure in the Chinese labor group. Even Lei Ding and Cheng Zeng, because they are highly valued by Wu Lao and others, most of the Chinese laborers also know them.


What’s more, the few people at this time have put on new clothes. Lei Ding and Er Niu are still carrying a long spear. They look like they have a completely new temperament, and everyone who sees them can’t help but want Come up and ask a few words.



However, Ye Qing did not give these people a chance to stay here, and said with a smile to these onlookers: “Don’t worry, let’s go back to the residential area and talk about it.

Cheng also woke up immediately, and said to the fellow villagers around him again and again: “Don’t worry, if you have any questions, we will answer them one by one later.”

Since Qingdu had already spoken, the surrounding Chinese workers naturally wouldn’t have any more opinions. They all followed Ye Qing and others enthusiastically to the accommodation area.

When the few people gradually approached the accommodation area, the figures of Lao Wu and Lao Zhu appeared in front of them. Upon seeing this, Ye Qing smiled. If Lei Ding and Cheng represent the young group of Chinese laborers, then Mr. Wu and Mrs. Zhu can undoubtedly represent the entire group of Chinese laborers.

Lao Wu and Lao Zhu actually didn’t know beforehand that Lei Dingcheng and Ye Qing were going out to buy weapons with Ye Qing. It was not until this morning that young Chinese workers came to tell him about it.

Obviously, yesterday the two elders held a noncommittal attitude towards Ye Qing’s suggestion. They are not too willing to break the status quo in this way. After all, life now makes them more satisfied.

Lao Wu and Lao Zhu are not young people like Lei Ding. They will be fascinated by Ye Qing’s words. They will think more about the changes that may occur after they have done this.

There is no doubt that Ye Qing’s idea for them is a possibility, but the two cannot rule out that the purchase of weapons by the Chinese party caused dissatisfaction among other high-levels. This is the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Ye Qing is just four people. Can they really guarantee their safety?

All in all, this thing can be done, but it is not necessary. The existence of Ye Qing allows them to get higher wages and more reasonable working hours, but it does not necessarily allow them to have armed forces. Mr. Wu didn’t intend to take such a risk.

But in any case, it was done. When Old Wu learned that the two boys Lei Ding and Cheng had already set off and raised a lot of funds last night, he could only sigh and let him go.

When these people returned to the construction site, Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhu heard the news for the first time, and they waited here early, waiting for the arrival of Ye Qing and his party.

As Mr. Wu wished, Ye Qing came back safely with some of his kids. But beyond their expectations, Ye Qing followed a lot of workers and carriages.

When he walked to Wu Lao, Ye Qing found that Wu Lao’s eyes were full of shock. Ye Qing chuckled and said, “Old Wu, I’m very sorry to take your disciple out for a trip. It should worry you.”

Mr. Wu had already recovered at this time, and hurriedly said: “Mr. Ye is serious, you have helped us so much, it is reasonable to let these boys accompany you out of the door.” But the polite remark just now After speaking, Mr. Wu asked impatiently: “However, Mr. Ye, you are out this time, did you go out to buy firearms as you said yesterday?

Ye Qing naturally replied: “That’s it, Mr. Wu, look at what Lei Ding is carrying on his shoulders, it’s one of them.

Old Wu naturally had seen the long spear carried by Lei Ding, and Lei Ding was now looking at Old Wu with some pride.

Old Wu’s eyes became severe instantly, warning Lei Ding not to get overwhelmed.

Lei Ding immediately reacted, quickly took the gun off his shoulder, and stood aside respectfully with his head down.

Only then did Elder Wu retract his gaze and continue to face Ye Qing: “Can I take the liberty to ask, Mr. Ye, how many guns have you bought this time?”

Ye Qing smiled, turned his head to look at Garcia behind him, and asked: “Garcia, how many guns did you send this time?”

Garcia immediately replied: “Seventeen rifles and fifty-five pistols.

Ye Qing nodded, looked at Old Wu again, waiting for his response.

Old Wu was naturally completely shocked.

His previous ideas actually had certain limitations. First of all, he overestimated the company’s top management, and overestimated the price of America’s guns. Underestimated the power of this big gang of Chinese workers, and underestimated the strength of Ye Qing’s support for them.

All the problems he worried about were putting the Chinese workers in a disadvantaged position. He never thought that relying on buying guns, Chinese workers can have self-protection or even more strength than the company!

Feeling that Mr. Wu was shocked again, Ye Qing said: “Wu, if you have any questions, you can ask Lei Ding and the others. I will arrange to move the guns down here.”

Wu Lao nodded subconsciously, Ye Qing turned around and began to communicate with Garcia, and handed over the next stage to Lei Ding and Cheng Jiren.

Seeing that Ye Qing started talking to Garcia, he was already eager to move. The Chinese workers who were curious about Lei Dingcheng’s outing immediately rushed up, walked to a few people, and asked:

“Leiding, did you go far this time, and what did it look like. Compared with ours in China?” A large part of this group of Chinese workers came to America by ship from **, and then they were sent directly. When building a railway here, I have basically never seen what the real America looks like. Even if I saw it, it was just a glimpse. I didn’t think like these people. Not only did they walk into the town (Wang Dehao), but they also bought things and ate their food.

Several people were naturally also willing to answer everyone’s questions and began to tell what they had seen and heard in the town.

Of course, most people are more interested in these brand-new firearms. They had seen such a weapon in the hands of the overseers, and even these overseers sometimes shot them to deter them, causing them to be very curious about this weapon.

Lei Ding could still hold Henry M1860 in his hand, and the gun in Er Niu’s hand standing behind him had long been borrowed by several familiar fellows to play with. But they did not put a bullet in the gun. After all, neither of them had fired a few shots, so they didn’t dare to carry guns with bullets everywhere.

When Lei Ding and the others were busy answering the questions of the Chinese workers, Cheng Xiang had already walked in front of Wu Lao. It is good for Lei Ding to answer the questions of the compatriots. He is obliged to report the details of this operation to Lao Wu.
