Lu Chengzhou secretly helped the rickshaw driver, partly out of sympathy and the kindness of a Chinese.
At the same time, Lu Chengzhou also wanted to establish an intelligence network and establish a good relationship with the rickshaw drivers, which was only the first step.
The rickshaw pullers who solicit customers on the street every day can quickly know what is happening in the concession.
Moreover, messages between rickshaw pullers are transmitted very quickly.
As you can see from their strike this time, news spreads quickly.
This is very beneficial to Lu Chengzhou.
He did not dare to expect that all these rickshaw pullers would be included in his intelligence network. As long as some of them could provide him with some news on the street, it would be enough.
However, at this time, Lu Chengzhou did not want to have much to do with them.
After all, we just finished negotiating with them during the day. At the negotiation table, Lu Chengzhou "tried his best" to fight for the interests of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. In the evening, everyone drank and talked. This is unreasonable.
If the Ministry of Industry Bureau found out, he, the deputy inspector who had just been praised by Barnes, would probably go home.
"Today is not a good time to have a long conversation. If you have a chance in the future, let's find a time to have a good chat." Lu Chengzhou said.
He could understand the feelings of Zhang Baotou and Zhu Biao. After all, leading thousands of people to go on strike puts a lot of pressure on their hearts.
If the Ministry of Industry and Commerce does not agree to their conditions, can the strike continue?
If the rickshaw pullers do not receive compensation from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, they will not be able to face these compatriots in the future.
The most important thing is that through this strike, the rickshaw pullers not only won the victory, so that the foreigners in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce no longer dare to look down upon them, but at the same time, they also built up confidence and will be more united in the future.
Everyone was very grateful to Zhang Baotou and Zhu Biao. Everyone believed that it was under their leadership that this strike could be successful.
But Zhang Baotou and Zhu Biao knew that it was Lu Chengzhou who they really wanted to be grateful for.
Without Lu Chengzhou's reminder, they would not have fought against the Ministry of Industry for the benefit of the riders.
Without Lu Chengzhou's hint, they would not fight for their rights reasonably.
This strike was of far-reaching significance. From then on, the foreigners in the British Concession no longer dared to look down upon them as a group.
"We have only one purpose here today, to thank Lu Chengzhou. From now on, as long as Officer Lu is of use to us, he will do it without any hesitation." Zhu Biao said sincerely.
"From now on, as long as the road police officer uses my car, it will be free of charge." Zhang Baotou said firmly.
"That's not okay, I just did something trivial. If you don't charge me, I will never ride in your car again." Lu Chengzhou shook his head. He was not a man who took advantage of petty gains.
As a deputy inspector, Lu Chengzhou did have some privileges. For example, for rickshaw drivers like Zhang Baotou who often drove in his area, Lu Chengzhou could take a ride occasionally without paying.
Even going to a street store and buying things without paying is reasonable.
Lu Chengzhou didn't need to ask for these things, others would take the initiative not to take his money.
"Police Officer Lu is fair and selfless, and I admire him very much." Zhu Biao said with emotion after hearing Lu Chengzhou's words.
"I can't speak of impartiality. You have worked hard to make money, and I will never take advantage of the advantage of taking the bus." Lu Chengzhou said humbly.
Everyone has their own bottom line as a person, and Lu Chengzhou's bottom line is not to compete for profits with those at the bottom.
"I really don't know how to express our gratitude." Zhang Baotou said sheepishly.
Lu Chengzhou had been so helpful, and he really didn't know how to express his feelings to Lu Chengzhou.
He also discussed this matter with Zhu Biao.
Both of them were miserable. They could neither afford a decent gift nor give Lu Chengzhou other gifts.
"Let's do this. From now on, you guys will help me pay attention to the news on the street. If I encounter any valuable clues, I can apply to the police for some field service expenses." Lu Chengzhou thought for a while and said with a smile.
"That's no problem. As long as there is news, I will report it every day." Zhang Baotou said firmly.
He might not be able to do other things, but he really did this incidentally.
When nothing happens, Zhang Baotou will set up a dragon gate formation with other coachmen.
When I meet other rickshaw drivers on the street, what they talk about the most is the new things happening in the concession.
Lu Chengzhou is a deputy inspector, and of course he wants to know what is happening in his jurisdiction in a timely manner.
"Then it's settled, I will come and chat with you every day." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
Zhang Baotou is often in his jurisdiction. When he is not alive, if he talks to him for a few words, the tail behind him may not pay attention.
Lu Chengzhou is a deputy inspector, and it is his job responsibility to understand the situation on the streets.
"In the future, I will come here often and report to the police officer." Zhu Biao suddenly said.
"Welcome, welcome. Your support of my work is my greatest gratitude. In the future, maybe I will thank you even more." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
In the next few days, Lu Chengzhou rode every day. When he met Zhang Baotou on the street, he would always chat with him.
Zhu Biao also comes here every day. His scope of activities is wider than Zhang Baotou and he comes into contact with more people.
With Zhang Baotou and Zhu Biao, Lu Chengzhou could always keep abreast of what was happening in the British Concession.
Especially when it comes to matters within his jurisdiction, he sometimes knows more than the inspector below.
Lu Chengzhou contacted Zhang Baotou and Zhu Biao. At first, the people from the Haigu station intelligence team did not pay attention to him.
However, Lu Chengzhou chatted with the rickshaw drivers on the street every day. Sometimes when Zhang Baotou was not around, Lu Chengzhou would communicate with other people, talk on the phone, and learn about the news on the street.
Lu Chengzhou is a professionally trained agent and can discover a lot of useful information from conversations.
After receiving several reports, He He made several special observations in person.
He was surprised to find that Lu Chengzhou had a very lively chat with these rickshaw pullers.
Lu Chengzhou, who didn't smoke before, now always carried a pack of cigarettes on his body. When the coachmen received the cigarettes from Lu Chengzhou, they quickly dispelled their fear.
Lu Chengzhou really didn't smoke much since he started working.
But he found that most of the rickshaw pullers smoked. Although they smoked the poorest quality cigarettes, they still enjoyed it.
As long as we smoke, everyone will start talking.
After discovering this, he would always put a pack of cigarettes on himself.
There are many cigarette factories in Haigu, some are domestically produced, and some are run by foreigners. Most of them adopt modern assembly line production, such as Evergrande cigarettes, Bee cigarettes, and Laodao cigarettes.
Lu Chengzhou didn't know which cigarette was better, so he just wanted to buy expensive ones.
Lu Chengzhou's conversational skills were professionally trained, and these rickshaw pullers felt honored that Lu Chengzhou could take the initiative to hand over the details.
In particular, Zhang Baotou said that after Lu Chengzhou helped a lot during the strike, they were also grateful to Lu Chengzhou.
