Chapter 706 We all understand!
Tianjin, fruit shop.
The shopkeeper said to Abacus, "Stationmaster Zhang, do we really want to contact that person again? He said at the beginning that he would be back soon, but now he has been gone for more than half a year and we can't even see his shadow. We didn't make much money from him. It's too risky to contact him by radio. It's not worth it!"
Zhang Zhanzhang held his hands in his sleeves and lowered his eyelids. "What do you know? That person is a real businessman, a trader! Intelligence transactions cannot be separated from such people. You have also met Commander Jin. Do you think ordinary intelligence can impress her? Even if there is important intelligence, if there is no knowledgeable person to negotiate the price with her, I am afraid it will not be sold at a good price! Do you know what Commander Jin said today? She said that if we get information about this assassination case, she will offer ten small yellow croakers! As long as we do a few deals like this, we can go outside the Great Wall to buy houses and land, marry a wife and live a good life! Isn't it better than living in fear all day long?"
The shopkeeper's eyes widened, "Can she really produce ten small yellow croakers?"
"Nonsense, have you forgotten how many times you've talked to her? This person has strong connections. She dared to go against that Major Lin before. Now the two are working together again. From what she said, there are higher-ranking officials supporting their cooperation. How much funding do they need? Unlike us, there are only two people in a station, and the funding is only a few dozen dollars a year. We all rely on our own business to make money, and sometimes we even have to pay back to the higher-ups!"
Even though the shopkeeper calls this guy "stationmaster", this station is not that station. This station is a liaison station, some people also call it a transportation station, which is the most basic unit in the underground system.
Moreover, these two people are not from the Special Technology Department, but from the Northern Bureau, so the funding must be less.
The shopkeeper stamped his feet and said, "Okay! Then I'll go send the message!"
...........................
Jinmen.
When Lin Ze had time, he went to the port construction site to inspect.
This kind of inspection is more about conveying an attitude. If the people above pay attention, the people below will work more thoughtfully and carefully.
This is similar to the principle behind decorating your house. If you are too polite to the decoration team and start by buying them water and offering them cigarettes, they may bully you instead.
On the contrary, if you are picky, pay attention to details, and even find faults and ask for rework, people may do their work more seriously and meticulously.
Zhou Xuejin accompanied us on this inspection. After he came here a few times as a routine at the beginning, he is now here almost every day.
Of course, we declare to the outside world that we will strictly control the quality and strive to satisfy Mr. Lin.
In fact, he was too envious of these tens of thousands of workers!
Tens of thousands of workers!
If we could develop one tenth of it...
The progress of the project is not slow. The dredging work has been basically completed and the main work now is backfilling.
Of course, it will take a few years for the port to be fully built. Lin Ze is not in a hurry. The slower the construction, the better. If it is completed before the Japanese surrender, wouldn’t that be too easy for them?
"Xue Jin, how's the food on the construction site? Is Dominic playing any tricks?"
Zhou Xuejin said with a smile, "With Master Lin here, he doesn't dare to play with his weapons. The Americans are rich, and at first they only brought white flour, which the workers dared not eat. Later, I talked to him about using mixed flour as the staple food, and using the money saved to buy more side dishes and cooking oil. Each person doesn't get much, but it can ensure physical strength, so it won't be conspicuous."
Well, no matter what, feeding workers with white flour buns is too easy to attract attention.
"Okay, I'll eat here at noon and see how the workers are eating. By the way, have Miyamoto sent any more clothes? Clothes wear out quickly when doing heavy work."
"Don't worry. Mr. Miyamoto sent another batch not long ago. Now that the weather is hot, it's just the right time for the workers to change."
The construction site was bustling with activity, with people pulling soil, tamping, clearing silt, and breaking stones.
There were no supervisors, only some "construction workers" running around and directing the workers to work.
Old man Li was still working as a hauler, shirtless. It was hot, and he was reluctant to wear the work clothes he was given. They were made of good material. In a few years, when his grandson grew up, he could give them to him to wear.
He was pulling in front, and a younger one was pushing from behind.
After a few trips back and forth, the young man was breathing heavily and wiping the sweat off his face.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, take a break, let's take a break and have a drink of water!"
Old man Li put down the rope on his shoulders and said, "Okay, drink a bowl of water and continue working. It's almost time for lunch, so I can't take a break for too long!"
The young man nodded seriously, "I figured it out. We can push the cart 20 times before noon. This is not a slow job, not a slow job at all!"
The two men came to a small shed, picked up a stoneware bowl, and scooped a bowl of water from a large bucket.
The young man said: "In the past, we drank hot water when it was cold. Now it's so hot, why do we still drink hot water?"
Old man Li pointed out, "Look at how out of breath you are. If you drink more cold water, your lungs will explode! Drink it quickly so that you can work better after you finish it."
In Lin Ze's opinion, the workers' treatment is pitiful.
Every day I have to get up at dawn, eat breakfast, and then go to work. I work until lunch time, then I can take a short break and then continue working until dark.
Apart from food and accommodation, there is almost no salary. Even those experienced workers who were recruited only received two dollars a month, which is pitifully low!
But the workers don't think so.
At first, many people thought that this boss might be out of his mind!
How can you eat three meals a day?
Later, when there was more and more oil in the dish and even some meat slices appeared, they began to sincerely wish their host well!
This is a living Bodhisattva!
When someone broke his leg on a construction site, instead of beating or scolding him, they called a foreign doctor to treat him, and everyone was silent!
Is this paradise?
If he doesn't work hard and instead cheats and acts slyly, is he still a human being?
At the beginning, the workers only vaguely knew that there was a Mr. Lin who provided them with food.
Later on, every night after work, there would be some people who were good at telling stories in each shed.
These people are like storytellers from out of the ordinary. They tell stories with great passion and emotion, and the workers love listening to them!
From these people, the workers gradually understood that it was Master Lin who overcame all difficulties, found work for them, provided them with food, and gave them clothes to wear.
It was also from these people that the workers learned how difficult it was for Master Lin in Tianjin. In order to protect his compatriots, he did not hesitate to work for the Japanese. Once, because he was too kind to the workers, he was reported by someone who could not stand it. As a result, he was taken to Peiping for investigation for several days and almost lost his life.
At that time, some workers slammed the table and stood up, "Fuck him! Whoever wants to make trouble for Master Lin should step on us first! Without Master Lin, we would have starved to death or frozen to death. Our lives are in his hands!"
Later, Director Niu sent someone to refute the rumor, saying that the matter was not like that at all and that everyone should not spread false information.
The workers expressed their understanding one after another, we all understand!
These things cannot be said explicitly, we all understand!
