Pu Chana was once a hired worker of Xu Zhongqing's family. He was similar to a tenant farmer in the Republic of China. It was not exactly the same. He only came to help the Xu family during busy farming periods. On weekdays, he didn't have much to do with the Xu family. He was more of a day laborer.
Xu Zhongqing was the eldest son of the Xu family, and of course Pu Chana knew him. Xu Zhongqing used to be unattainable to Pu Chana, so it is understandable that Pu Chana was attentive to Xu Zhongqing.
Waving to Pu Chana, Xu Zhongqing put his arm around Pu Chan's shoulders and walked to the side alley, whispered in Pu Chan's ear, and then gave Pu Chan a small bag.
After listening to Xu Zhongqing's words, Pu Zha's expression changed several times, and finally he pinched the small bag that Xu Zhongqing had passed over and nodded heavily.
Next day, Fuxiang Teak Processing Factory.
This place was originally the property of the Xu family, but because the Xu family moved away from Chiang Mai, the place was sold to a wealthy local Siamese businessman at a discount by Xu Ziting, the head of the Xu family.
The so-called discount is a nice way of saying it. Due to some objective reasons, the transfer price was less than one-third of the actual value. Of course the Xu family didn't want to sell it, but the situation was stronger than others. There were some things that Xu Ziting had no choice but to do.
After the local wealthy businessman bought the woodwork factory, he did not intend to run it, but to resell it. The target of the resale was the British. Of course, the price was not much different from the actual value. At least compared with the transfer price of the Xu family, it was still high.
Quite profitable.
In the morning, two British people came to the wood factory under the protection of several local Siamese.
Teak is a precious wood that can be used to make high-end furniture floors or for interior decoration. Teak is widely distributed in Siam and Myanmar. The quality of teak in Myanmar is particularly good. In the 21st century, it was once called Myanmar.
's national treasure.
Fu Xiang Teak Processing Factory is well-known in Chiang Mai. This processing plant not only has the machines used to process wood, but also owns a whole mountain of teak forest. It is precisely because of this convenient condition that Fu Xiang Teak
The woodware from the processing factory sells well in Chiang Mai and is even famous in Myanmar.
After the Xu family moved out of Chiang Mai, the entire processing plant was actually shut down. The workers did not know when the processing plant would reopen. They would gather at the door of the processing plant every day to wait for the latest news. So when the two British people arrived
At that time, hundreds of eagerly waiting workers gathered at the entrance of the factory. They blocked the entrance of the processing plant intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to get the latest news as soon as possible.
It must be said that the Siamese people are indeed a bit shabby. Perhaps because of the hot weather, these Siamese people look like they have no clothes on, and coupled with their poor hygiene, they look like homeless people.
At least that's how it seemed to the two Englishmen.
When the British carriage came to the door of the processing plant, the workers did not get out of the way. They wanted to see what the new boss was like and whether he would treat them as well as the old boss.
If Xu Ziting came over, he would probably comfort him with gentle words and then give a few promises, which might stabilize the overall situation.
But the two British people obviously didn't have that patience, or they didn't think these people were worth their waste of energy, so the few Siamese who followed the carriage were particularly irritable.
You pigs, get out of here and don't stand in the way of the uncle. Four or five Siamese who looked like bodyguards came up with sticks in their hands, cursing and beating, trying to drive these people away.
Hey, be respectful, we are workers in this factory. Some people are shouting loudly, trying to prove that they are not outsiders.
Although the Xu family is a big business, in a foreign country, the Xu family still maintains the kindness and humility of the Chinese people. Xu Ziting has always treated the workers in the factory as a kind and well-off family, so the workers in the factory are not very afraid of the boss.
On the contrary, in many cases, these Siamese people are very good at taking advantage of their local status to fight for themselves some benefits that they should or should not get.
Go away. If you are not honest, then you are nothing. The short stick in the bodyguard's hand flew up and down without any stagnation.
Whether in India, Myanmar, Malaya, or around the world, the British have always played the role of conquerors. This makes the British particularly emboldened, and even their bodyguards are superior to others, so in
When facing the indigenous people, the British have never been weak, or in other words, the British have never been as weak as the Chinese.
Facing the bodyguards' short sticks, some workers were begging and others were wailing. At the same time, more voices were arguing: You can't do this. We have been working here for a long time and our hard work is here.
Faced with the workers' pleading, the bodyguards did not hesitate at all. The sticks they drew were still powerful, and the words they said were still unbearable: "Fuck you for a long time, I have nothing to do with you."
Well, Siam doesn’t have the concept of Mao, that’s probably what it means.
For these bodyguards, this beating should be regarded as a form of intimidation, but for these workers, this feeling is not very good.
In fact, the workers had already dispersed when the bodyguards started swinging their sticks. The bodyguards did not restrain themselves because of the workers' dodge. They chased and beat the workers wantonly, even those who had fallen to the ground.
Although the workers were outnumbered, they had no intention of resisting, and some quickly became aware of the situation.
Not everyone is afraid, but a dozen young and strong Siamese people are particularly unsatisfied. Looking at the bodyguards who are chasing the workers, they have clenched their fists, and the anger in their eyes can make people feel burning.
.
Don't go too far. Someone in the crowd shouted.
Damn, I've always been so exaggerated. The bodyguards' response was particularly straightforward. Two bodyguards even surrounded a worker who had fallen to the ground and beat him. The worker rolled around on the ground to avoid it, and his begging and screaming sounds were particularly miserable, but
The two bodyguards did not stop, but instead received more intensive beatings and laughter.
Why don't you fight with them? Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, and then three or four people pounced on him.
At this time, even if only one person rushes forward, it can mobilize everyone's common hatred.
They don't treat people as human beings at all, and there are still people who are fanning the flames when they are being beaten.
Beat them and more people swarm forward.
Five or six bodyguards may be arrogant when facing a group of weak people, but it is really useless when facing a group of angry people.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the five or six bodyguards were overwhelmed by the angry crowd.
The British on the carriage finally couldn't sit still, and one of the British took out the pistol he was carrying.
Bang
Sharp gunfire rang out, but it was not the worker who fell, but the British man who had just taken out his pistol.
The scene finally got out of control. To be continued.
