Maeda frowned. He always felt something was wrong, as if he had been tricked by Toru Ishihara.
Profiteers are indeed quite treacherous.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. As long as Ishihara Toru follows his promise and does not increase the price of coarse grains, he can explain to his superiors that the Chinese people are very docile and will not cause trouble if they have enough to eat.
All he wants is stability.
Back at Ishihara Trading Company, Chu Lingyun immediately called Nitta.
"Notify everyone to collect all the fine grains on the market and leave the coarse grains alone."
"yes."
Nitta immediately responded. He was also a smuggler. He invested three cargo ships in this food war and brought in a lot of food.
All these grains were sold at a loss, and more than a little at a loss.
The money they lost in the early stage is called investment. They are about to usher in the harvest moment. They can earn back ten times or even a hundred times the money they lost earlier.
"Notify my hometown that prices of fine grains in Shanghai are about to rise across the board."
Chu Lingyun said to Fang Shiyi that after collecting the fine grains on the market, he would announce a price increase.
It must increase, otherwise it will not be in line with his character.
If the price of fine grains rises, but coarse grains don't, the people can survive, while he leads these smugglers to make money, leaving others speechless.
"good."
Fang Shiyi completely understood Ishihara Hiroshi's purpose, and he really admired Ishihara Hiroshi. A seemingly unsolvable problem was perfectly solved by him with such repeated operations.
The price of food has risen, and the people are suffering terribly. Even Toru Ishihara cannot keep selling food at a loss.
So Ishihara Hiroshi made a twist. He first approached grain merchants and took the initiative to purchase their grain.
Grain merchants will definitely not be willing to offer a 30% lower price.
No matter how powerful Ishihara Hiroshi is, he is still a businessman and cannot be completely unreasonable.
Little did they know that this was exactly Ishihara Hiroshi's plan. What they wanted was that if they didn't agree, if they really agreed, it would be hard to do anything next.
The grain merchant refused, so Toru Ishihara used merchant methods to start a war with the grain merchant.
He was wealthy and not afraid of losing money. He kept pouring grain into the market, completely driving down the price of grain in Shanghai and allowing the people to live a good year.
This year in Shanghai, no one died of hunger.
Even if there are people who have no ability to work and no one to rely on, there is still Ezakiga helping them.
The grain merchants were completely defeated by Shi Yuanheng and his men. Fang Shiyi, like Ke Gong, didn't know what Ishihara Heng would do next, so as to stabilize grain prices and avoid being suspected.
In the past, grain was sold at low prices in order to defeat competitors and dominate the market.
No matter how low he sells it, others can understand that the cheaper he sells it, the darker his heart is.
Others will not think that he is really helping the people, they will only think that his target is the grain merchants.
This is indeed the case. During this period, more than one grain merchant was forced to death by Ishihara Hiroshi.
The remaining grain merchants were able to survive, and their lifetime of hard work was gone. They were kicked down from the clouds by Toru Ishihara.
Hoarding food makes it difficult for the country to make money, and they deserve it.
Fang Shiyi didn't have any sympathy for them. He was trying to talk to Ishihara Hiroshi in the past two days. He wanted to control the food price within a reasonable range. The result was good. Ishihara Hiroshi went to the liaison department to completely solve the problem.
.
Not only was it solved, but it was solved very well and perfectly.
Grain classification and two-level differentiation.
Fine grains are expensive, rice makes money, and coarse grains maintain their original price.
In this way, refined grains will be like a luxury product, a food that only rich people can enjoy.
Things are expensive, but you don’t have to worry about selling them.
After all, Fang Shiyi has been in the trading company for so long and has such a vision.
What is the most profitable business?
Not exquisite handicrafts, nor fine tea, but silk stockings.
Who would have thought that a thin layer of cloth could be sold for a thousand or even ten thousand times the price of the raw materials.
In addition to stockings, red wine, brand-name watches, lipstick and other cosmetics, they are all huge profits.
The more expensive it is, the more profitable it is.
Fang Shiyi, like Abe, understood that Ishihara Hiroshi wanted to make money from rich people.
Rich people have more money, and it is easier to make money. As long as food makes money, the smugglers will not have any objections, and others will not know Ishihara Hiroshi's true purpose.
Or they might scold him for being so dark-hearted and so high.
However, only fine grains increased by Ishihara Hiroshi, and the highest price increase was rice. Fang Shiyi knew Ishihara Hiroshi's plan best, and the next step was to raise prices by 50%, which was 1.5 times the previous market price.
Once the market accepts it, the price of rice will continue to rise.
Twice as much as before, three times as much as before.
His reputation as a black-hearted businessman cannot be removed. There will be many people scolding him, but those who can scold him will only be people with certain assets.
A truly poor person would never scold him.
Because the price of coarse grains has not increased, not only has it not increased, but the current low price will be maintained so that all poor people can eat.
This time there will definitely be some people who will change their usual fine grains to coarse grains in order to save money, but it doesn't matter, there are many rich people in Shanghai, and they can make a lot of money for Ishihara Hiroshi and the smugglers.
Banknotes and gold bars.
What Fang Shiyi reported was not only that the price of rice was going to increase, but also the entire process.
In Yanzhou, Mr. Ke was silent for a long time after reading the telegram.
High, indeed brilliant.
He really admired Chu Lingyun. The problem that he had not thought of for several days was easily solved by Chu Lingyun.
Grain classification, coarse grains nourish people, fine grains make money.
Chu Lingyun single-handedly saved a large number of poor people in Shanghai without arousing any suspicion.
Outside, he was forced to do nothing.
The Liaison Department asked him to limit grain prices and stabilize the market.
He can even look aggrieved and let people see that he has made a lot less money.
Internally, he did what many comrades wanted to do but were unable to do.
Let the poor survive and eat low-priced food.
The food war has finally come to an end.
All grains in the hands of grain merchants, especially fine grains, were basically purchased.
Even if there is still, it is a small amount and does not affect the overall situation.
In the past few days, there have been rumors in the market that the price of fine grains is about to rise. Many people have stocked up, while others have not taken it seriously.
"Tell everyone that coarse grains will remain unchanged, fine grains will return to their original prices, and rice will increase by another 50% based on the original price."
Chu Lingyun said to Xintian who came over. Xintian nodded quickly and happily accepted the order.
After the war is over, the next step is to make money and make up for all previous losses.
He already knew that this was the result of negotiations between Toru Ishihara and Maeda, the head of the Liaison Department.
He was very satisfied with this result. As expected of Toru Ishihara, he really had a way to get the best result for them.
If all grains are priced at a price limit, how can they still make money?
This will definitely not work. They are not good people. Your Liaison Department harms our interests for the sake of stability.
Ishihara Toru's strategy was to keep the coarse grains unchanged, increase the price of fine grains, and let us decide the rice ourselves, which solved the problem instantly.
Among fine grains, the most popular is rice, and the one they have the most supply of is rice.
Just like this, they can make a lot of money, so what if they lose a small amount of coarse grains? The small amount of money they lose is not even a fraction of rice.
The smugglers have been doing business for so long. They are not Maeda, and they can see the secrets at a glance.
As expected, it had to be Hiroshi Ishihara, who not only helped them preserve their profits but also left the Liaison Department speechless.
No matter how they increase the price next, the Liaison Department will not make any comments.
They did what the Liaison Department asked them to do.
As long as they have coarse food to survive, the people will not make trouble. Those who really want to make trouble are those who have some money, but not much.
They can make trouble no matter what, it won't do any good.
"Are you too dark-hearted? One pound of rice and two pounds per pound?"
At the grain store, a man who came to buy rice suddenly exclaimed, yesterday it was only eight cents, but today the price of rice has actually increased to one dollar and two cents, which is an increase of fifteen times.
In other words, the money that could buy fifteen kilograms of rice yesterday can only buy one kilogram today.
"That's the price. If you want to buy it, hurry up. If you don't want to buy it, leave."
The clerks at the grain store are very arrogant. The increase in rice prices is an order from the boss, not them.
Not only rice, but all fine grains have returned to their original prices, while only coarse grains remain at low prices.
"Just leave."
The man took the rice bag and hurried to the next grain store, only to find that all the grain stores were the same, with uniform prices and an overall increase.
Soon, more people discovered that food prices had increased, and there was a lot of criticism.
The good reputation that Ishihara Trading Company had accumulated collapsed in an instant.
In Iwai Mansion, Teacher Weng came to Yuan Yida's office and slapped today's food price list on his desk.
"Look, that black-hearted businessman in Japan has indeed raised the price. I know that he has no good intentions, and the people's lives will be even more miserable in the future."
Teacher Weng said angrily, while Yuan Yida picked up the price list and read it carefully.
The increase in food prices was something they expected. Ishihara Hiroshi is not a good person. Once his goal is achieved, he will definitely make crazy money to make up for his previous losses.
This is the nature of a businessman.
In the grain price list, rice has the highest price, which is 50% higher than the previous market price. The price of rice per catty has directly exceeded one yuan, reaching one yuan and two.
Ordinary families, whose monthly income is at most a few dozen yuan, cannot afford rice at all.
The price of white flour and other fine grains has also returned to the price of a year ago, with a tenfold increase.
On the other hand, coarse grains have not changed. They are still at the current price, which is very low. Many coarse grains only cost one or two cents per unit, and some are even less than one cent.
Yuan Yida was very surprised. He raised his head and said, "Teacher Weng, have you read the price list?"
"no, what happened?"
Teacher Weng was stunned for a moment. He was a reporter. He could get such a thing. When he saw the price of rice, his head exploded. One yuan was more than one pound. Why didn't these unscrupulous businessmen grab it?
I'm afraid robbing can't make money as fast as this.
"Look behind you."
Yuan Yida asked him to look at the price list again. Teacher Weng immediately looked over and his eyebrows twitched.
"The price of coarse grains has not increased?"
"That's right, if coarse grains don't rise, the people will have a way to survive. The increase in rice prices will affect many people, but if they don't starve to death, how much rice do we have?"
"I don't know. I'll ask."
"No need to ask, tell the cafeteria that we will stop eating fine grains today and we will eat coarse grains. I will go see Iwai right away."
Yuan Yida stood up. He was the head of Iwai Mansion, but there was someone above him, and that was the real master.
There is such a big price difference between coarse grains and fine grains. If you only eat coarse grains, you can save a lot of money.
He did this to show Iwai. After all, Iwai’s money did not come from strong winds. Helping him save would make him happy.
"Sir, this grain price is weird. Why does Shiyuan Commercial Bank only increase fine grain prices and not coarse grain prices?"
Sitting on his knees in front of Iwai Ryuichi, Yuan Yida said softly that Iwai had already read the price list.
"It's nothing weird, this is Ishihara Hiroshi's method."
Iwai smiled. As the consul general, he knew far more than Yuan Yida.
"means?"
Selling grain at low prices is still a trick, Yuan Yida doesn't understand it.
Iwai picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "There are some things you don't know. After Ishihara Trading Company defeated the grain merchants, the Liaison Department Maeda specially talked to Ishihara Hiroshi, hoping that he could stabilize grain prices and not rise too much.
Gao, it is said that the Prime Minister personally reminded me."
Yuan Yida nodded slightly. He understood this. Food prices were too high, which was not conducive to stability.
It is normal for the Liaison Department to intervene.
"Maeda requested that the price be limited to 1.5 times the previous price, but Ishihara Toru did not agree."
It's okay if he didn't agree. How could a businessman agree to such a restriction?
"Ishihara Hiroshi proposed a compromise. In addition to rice, other fine grains will only increase by 1.5 times in accordance with Maeda's requirements, but rice cannot be restricted. In order to allow Maeda to explain to the Prime Minister, he agreed that all coarse grains
Maintain the current price.”
Yuan Yida suddenly realized that this was the case.
After seeing the price list, he thought Ishihara Toru had a conscience and didn't want people to starve to death, so he didn't increase the price of coarse grains.
The reason is that he is forced not to rise, rather than taking the initiative.
If there had been no interference from Liaison, I am afraid that coarse grain prices would have risen as well.
When the Liaison Department took action at this time, Yuan Yida understood that it must limit food prices before they rose, otherwise once they rose, it would be impossible for them to lower them.
Unless the Liaison Department learns from Ishihara Hiroshi and brings in large quantities of grain to suppress grain prices.
They are not Ishihara Hiroshi. Let’s not talk about whether they have so much money. If they really do this, they will completely become enemies with Ishihara Hiroshi.
Hiroshi Ishihara is not one of those grain merchants. If he is angered, it is unknown whether Maeda can secure his position.
You know, the deputy chief, Toshihiro Abe, is Hiroshi Ishihara’s senior brother.
The two of them joined forces to bring Abe to power, and Maeda couldn't stop him at all.
"This is good, but Maeda is a bit stupid and actually relaxed the price of rice. But don't worry, I have found someone to buy low-price rice. The mansion does not need to change the food. You can continue to eat."
Iwai was very satisfied with Yuan Yida's behavior of saving money for him.
Prices have only just increased now. It is conceivable that the price of fine grains will increase even more in the future, especially rice. I don’t know how much it will increase.
Hiroshi Ishihara is smart and has independent pricing power over rice. He has the final say on how much he wants to sell.
"Thank you, sir."
Yuan Yida bowed his head and thanked him. He came here just to find out what was going on.
The current price of rice is still low and will be higher in the future.
However, the price of coarse grains has not increased, and the most important thing is that it will not increase in the future. This is definitely a good thing. Although Ishihara Hiroshi made a compromise for profit, he really saved many people.
As for him wanting to make money, that's understandable.
He didn't make any money, so why did he put so much effort and investment into destroying the original grain merchant?
Fortunately, the Liaison Department took action in time, forcing Ishihara Hiroshi not to raise food prices across the board, giving the people a way to survive.
Returning to Iwai Mansion, Yuan Yida immediately called Teacher Weng.
"It's clear. The Liaison Department was afraid that Ishihara Hiroshi would raise the price of grain too high and intervened. The result of the negotiation between the two parties was that Ishihara Hiroshi had independent pricing power for rice, but other grains were restricted, especially coarse grains. They were not allowed to do so in the future.
Price increase.”
“The price of coarse grains will never increase?”
Teacher Weng was a little surprised. As a red party member, he knew the function of these whole grains very well.
Cheap coarse grains are the rations of most people today, and they rely on this unpalatable food to maintain their lives.
If the price of coarse grains does not rise, many people at the bottom will be able to survive well.
"It can't be said that it will last forever, but it will definitely not rise in the near future. Ishihara Toru is very measured in his actions. Since he promised Maeda, he will not rise for at least a year."
Yuan Yida explained that it is simply impossible to prevent black-hearted businessmen from making money.
But how long can it last? As long as the price of coarse grains does not rise, the people in Shanghai will not starve to death.
This time, many ordinary people will eat coarse grains instead because they cannot afford refined grains.
But no matter what you eat, the most important thing is to survive.
The phenomenon of people starving to death will not happen in Shanghai for the time being.
"It's a pity that it's only in Shanghai. It would be great if it could be like this all over the country."
Teacher Weng regretted that in Shanghai, it was because Ishihara Hiroshi wanted to increase the price too much and was blocked by the Liaison Department. The two parties negotiated and compromised with each other.
Ishihara Heng used rice to make money, and coarse grains stabilized Shanghai.
In other places, old grain dealers still control the market, and they will raise the prices of all grains, not just fine grains.
In this way, Shanghai's ending turned out to be the best.
"It's impossible for the whole country, but it's good to keep Shanghai."
Yuan Yida shook his head. He also hoped that the whole country would be like this, so that at least people in the country would not starve to death. In this situation, famine is the most feared thing.
Once a widespread famine occurs, it is unknown how many people will die.
In the restaurant in the original concession, Chu Lingyun sat at the head of the table, Nitta was next to him, and the others sat on both sides of the long table.
Hearty Japanese food is placed on the table.
They defeated the grain merchants and took control of Shanghai's grain business. This was worthy of congratulations. Chu Lingyun called them over to celebrate.
"Ishihara-kun, it's better that you take over the pricing power of rice. Otherwise, according to the requirements of the Liaison Department, our losses will be huge."
The head of the Liaison Department said that he knew best.
Maeda received an order from the Prime Minister to suppress food prices. He was previously worried that Toru Ishihara would not be able to withstand the pressure and compromise, which would result in them making a lot less money.
As a result, Hiroshi Ishihara used coarse grains in exchange for the independent pricing power of rice.
What is coarse grains? Even if you lose money, how much can you lose?
Moreover, the purchasing price of coarse grains is already low. Most of their coarse grains are now sold for about one cent per catty, but the purchase price is also low, at a little over one yuan per stone.
These coarse grains will not cost you much at all.
After all, only the poorest people will eat these. People with a little money still like white flour, rice and other fine grains.
Nowadays, rice is priced at one dollar and two per catty. Based on the cost price they purchase from Southeast Asian countries, the profit of rice is now three times.
If you sell three kilograms of rice, you can earn two stones of coarse grains.
This is just the beginning, Ishihara Hiroshi said, slowly increase the price, next time it will rise to two yuan a pound, and in the future the price of rice will rise to three or four yuan.
By then, they will earn more.
"Everyone, as long as we all work together, there is nothing we can't do. I will not monopolize the grain business, but there is one thing. Just like selling goods, you have to pay 10% of the payment to Ishihara Trading Company. Is there no problem?"
Chu Lingyun said softly that he could lead these people to make money, but he could not let them make money in vain.
The market is liberalized. As long as they abide by his rules and sell according to the price he sets, Chu Lingyun will not care how much they sell. How much they sell is up to them.
But this amount of money must be given.
"No problem, this is what it should be."
Everyone responded that they were willing to pay the money and it was not burdensome.
Why would Ishihara Hiroshi take them to make money if he didn't pay?
Besides, they have been paying each other before, so since they have an extra source of income, they should pay it.
After paying the money, Ishihara Hiroshi would help them stand in front of them. Just like this time, it seemed that the Liaison Department was involved, but in fact it was an order from the Prime Minister.
Who among them can withstand it?
It was Ishihara Hiroshi who managed to maintain their profits by subverting one of their strengths.
The grain business was a windfall for them, and according to Ishihara Hiroshi's temperament, no one else would be able to come in without his consent in the future.
Shanghai is the largest city. With such a large population, the profits that can be generated by occupying the grain business are very considerable, even as much as the money they make from selling goods.
The worth of everyone can increase exponentially.
"Very good. Let's wait for Xintian to report the price to you. People have a surplus of grain recently, so there is no need to rush to raise prices. After a while, I will let everyone make back ten times the money they lost this time."
Chu Lingyun raised the wine glass and everyone drank it.
According to Ishihara Hiroshi's approach, I'm afraid they will only earn ten times less.
Grain is a long-term business, and this time they took advantage of the bankruptcy of the grain merchants to acquire a large number of industries. In short, everyone was very satisfied this time, and the next period of time was just for them to digest it slowly.
The common people are most sensitive to the price of food. As soon as the price of rice and fine grains increases, Ishihara Trading Company will receive a lot of criticism.
Fortunately, Chu Lingyun did not rise all at once, but in batches.
Except for rice, the prices of other fine grains are the same as before.
But for the people at the bottom, no one scolded them, but they were very grateful.
Their food prices have not changed, and they have no money left to buy too much food. This situation is the most anticipated and best result for them.
In the slums, Esakiga continues to distribute food.
After finishing the clothes, he thought of a way to buy a lot of low-priced tobacco leaves and let people roll cigarettes.
Still not paying wages, but taking care of food.
The rolled cigarettes can be sold at a low price, and the money from the sales can be used to roll them again. This can provide a long-term and stable source of income, which not only gives these people something to do and will not go hungry, but also gives them another channel to make money.
But this way, the slums have a bit more strange sounds.
He said he didn't pay wages and was a black-hearted businessman.
If you give something away for free, no one will comment on it. If you can make money, naturally some people will be jealous.
But they didn't know that Jiang Qihe didn't earn much, not even enough to distribute pancakes to the outside world. Now Jiang Qihe also needs to make money from selling sulfa to supplement his income.
When he first heard this voice, Jiang Qihe was indeed a little sad, but with Fang Shiyi's guidance, he quickly thought about it.
The vast majority of people still respect him and think that he helped give him a way to survive. Those who make sarcastic remarks are basically lazy people.
They were unwilling to work, but they still received the free food distributed by Esakiga.
"Secretary Fang, I want to change the way we provide assistance."
Jiang Qihe came to Ishihara Trading Company and found Fang Shiyi.
"How do you want to change?"
"In the future, those who can receive food will be limited to the elderly and children who have no source of livelihood and cannot work. Those who are young and strong, as long as they have hands and feet, will no longer be given to them."
Esaki He said that he found that these lazy people became more and more lazy because they were supported by themselves. They did nothing and stayed at home every day.
They clearly have the ability to work. When they go out to do things, even if they don't do hard work, they can just do anything and they won't be able to earn even a pancake.
They just didn't want to work, and since Fang Shiyi had been giving them out for free, they started eating Ezakiga as expected.
"It's long overdue."
Alchemist Yi smiled and said that he had tried to persuade them before, but Jiang Qihe couldn't bear it and thought that these people were particularly poor and should be treated equally.
He had good intentions. He provided food and drink for free, and when those people went out to do something, they could save some money. If they saved more, they could marry a wife and have children in the future.
It's a pity that he underestimated human nature and didn't know how lazy these people are.
Esaki He is not stupid, he is a cultured person.
Understand that if you continue to raise them like this, you may not only raise white-eyed wolves, but also completely harm them.
"Yes, you are right, but I am worried about them making trouble."
Ezaki He nodded slightly, these people are young and strong. If they really make trouble, the old people who help distribute food are no match for them.
"Have you forgotten who you are?" Fang Shiyi reminded.
"My identity?"
Esaki He was puzzled, but soon his eyes lit up: "Am I Japanese?"
After living in the slums for so long, he almost forgot that he was a pure Japanese, a Japanese military officer, and a member of the Special Higher Education Course.
"Yes, this identity can be used. In addition, I will send a few people to follow you. If someone makes trouble, you are welcome. If you don't push these people to a desperate situation, they will not work hard."
Fang Shiyi smiled and nodded. Nowadays, the Japanese are the largest in Shanghai. Let alone ordinary people, even people with some status do not dare to offend the Japanese easily.
Ezaki He has such a good skin, but he never thought of using it.
But this also proves that he really does things for the people sincerely and never thinks about himself at all.
"I understand, thank you."
Esaki stood up and bowed deeply. He still maintained the Japanese habits, but he didn't use them in many places.
slum, morning.
A new day has arrived, and many old people are holding bowls and waiting in line to receive their meals. At the front are three thin men.
They are a little thinner, but at least they are normal people and can do things.
It's a pity that they are unwilling to do anything and are too lazy to do anything, just waiting for Esakiga's relief.
"The people receiving food today will need to make adjustments. Those who can work will no longer be given food and will have to earn their own rations. The elderly, children and those who cannot work will remain the same."
Esakiga stood up and shouted with a simple loudspeaker.
The three people at the front were suddenly stunned. What do you mean, people who can work, aren't they the ones you are talking about?
"You three, please leave. I will not distribute food to you here again."
Esaki He looked at the three of them and pointed directly to the side.
These three people are the laziest, but they are active in eating. Sometimes they will take more. They never queue up and stand at the front when they arrive.
Others are old, weak, sick and disabled, so I dare not compete with them.
"Why?"
"That's right, why not give it to us?"
The three people immediately shouted, and the two people next to Esaki He immediately took a step forward.
"There's no reason. You can make your own money. I won't support idlers here in the future."
Esakiga said lightly, and many people behind him secretly applauded. Not only could Esakiga not stand these lazy guys, the old people had already had opinions on them.
They had no choice and could not work, so they came to receive relief food from Esakiga.
These people can obviously do a lot of things, but if they don't do it and rob them every day, no one can look down on them.
"No, you must give us food, otherwise we will shout, you are a hypocrite, hypocritical."
"Yes, this is what we deserve."
The three of them continued shouting, and Esaki glared fiercely: "What did you do to deserve this? I can't control what you want to say, but please leave now."
"If I don't leave, give me something to eat. If you don't give it to me, no one can take it."
The box storing the pancakes hadn't been opened yet, so one person simply stepped forward and wanted to open it himself and get it.
"go out."
Esaki He shouted loudly, he was not a temperless person, he just didn't lose his temper when he was with these poor people.
The people around Jiang Qihe immediately stepped forward and stopped him.
They are the guards of Ishihara Trading Company, and they are Japanese.
There were many Japanese among the guards of Ishihara Trading Company, but not every Japanese could speak Chinese. After a few curse words in Japanese, the three of them immediately did not dare to resist.
"You bully others, I'm going to sue you."
The lazy man who was stopped shouted loudly.
"idiot."
Esaki He suddenly cursed, and the yelling lazy man shivered violently. He finally remembered that this kind man who had been helping them was also Japanese.
He is not Chinese.
Out of fear, he did not dare to shout anymore. The three of them were cleared out, and Esaki He immediately announced the distribution of food.
The remaining people received their food honestly. The three of them watched from a distance, their teeth itching with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.
The three of them were not the only ones to be cleared. There were also other slums coming later. All those who could work would no longer be given any food to them in the future.
Unless there is an emergency, such as illness, or if you haven't received your wages, you really can't eat.
For such a person, Esakiga will give it to him.
The people who were cleared out were naturally dissatisfied and spoke ill of Esakiga everywhere.
It's a pity that no one listens to what they say. They are all people who live together. The people here know very well what kind of people they are. The food Mr. Jiang gives them has always been free and he has not paid a penny.
Even when the price of food increases, we still let them have food to eat.
They have their own scale in their hearts, and they won't believe whatever they say.
The result was beyond Ezakiga's expectation. He thought many people would scold him or even protest.
The fact is that after these people were eliminated, the people all gave him a thumbs up and thought he did the right thing. No one mentioned it before because he made people work to roll cigarettes.
He didn't pay any wages, but his treatment was very good.
Regardless of food, if someone has trouble, especially if they are sick, Esaki He will help.
