For Akagi Hsiung and Ruan Jinlong, they are just gang bosses entrenched in Chinatown. The most ambitious thing in their lives is to dominate Chinatown, divide their territory, and make a fortune!
They never thought that one day they would be able to kidnap a Viscount of the British Empire with their own hands!
A person with the Viscount's status is too far away and out of reach for them!
Although the British economy has declined in the 1970s, the afterglow of the British Empire is still there, and its glory still affects many people, including Akagi Hung and Nguyen Kim Long!
They knew very well what the consequences would be if they kidnapped a viscount. Even if they didn't kill the nine clans, they would still confiscate their homes and wipe them out! They came to England to make a fortune, not to bring trouble to their families!
So at the first moment, Akagi Xiong ran to Shi Zhijian and knelt down in front of him: "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Ruan Jinlong was stunned for a moment, then ran towards Shi Zhijian at the same speed: "I'm sorry, I was wrong too!"
When the minions around them saw the big boss in this state, they no longer dared to remain stunned, and they all fell to their knees on the ground, looking as if they had done something wrong.
Shi Zhijian looked at the people kneeling in front of him, took out a cigarette from his arms and held it in the corner of his mouth -
Seeing this, Ruan Jinlong moved faster than Akagi Xiong this time. He knelt down and took out the lighter and lit it.
Shi Zhijian glanced at him, and under the pleading eyes of the other party, he lit the cigarette with flame.
Ruan Jinlong felt relieved.
He hurriedly thought of something else and hurriedly picked up the Viscount Medal and handed it to Shi Zhijian with fear.
Shi Zhijian blew out the smoke and smiled, "Why, don't you want to check again?"
"No need! Mr. Shi!" Ruan Jinlong said with a trembling mouth.
Shi Zhijian looked at the crowd of people kneeling down, "So now, since you know my identity and I know my words, what should I do?"
"Please show your respect!"
"We didn't mean it!"
Everyone knelt down and begged.
Shi Zhijian sighed: "Actually, I can understand your difficulties. After all, it's because I destroyed the ecological balance of your two gangs in Chinatown! Since this matter started because of me, let me solve it!"
"Huh?" The two gangs Ruan Jinlong and Chi Muxiong looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't understand what Shi Zhijian meant.
"You came across the ocean to England, didn't you just want to survive and make a fortune? Then you can return to your hometown in fine clothes and let people look at you! So let me ask you, have you really made a fortune?"
Shi Zhijian's question made everyone stunned.
Although Akagi Hsiung and Ruan Jinlong are gang bosses, tying up people and domineering in Chinatown, and doing a lot of extortion and so on, when it comes to making a fortune, they really haven't made a fortune!
The larger the territory they have, the more people and horses they need, and the more people and horses they have, the more they spend! This is simply an endless cycle!
So much so that after all these years, the two of them didn't have much money on hand, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the risk to kidnap Shi Zhijian this time. They were really forced to have no way out.
"Let me help you, I'm a good person!" Shi Zhijian flicked his cigarette shamelessly, "Well, now I give you a chance, my coal yard needs a lot of labor force-"
"Mr. Shi, do you want us to dig coal?"
"Wrong! How can I let you do that kind of hard work? I am also a person with a conscience!"
Shi Zhijian's words made Chi Muxiong and Ruan Jinlong look ashamed. They had always believed that Shi Zhijian was a profiteer. Now it seems that their understanding was wrong and their awareness was too low!
"Chief Charlemagne and I are planning to set up a labor agency, mainly engaged in overseas labor services. If you are willing, you two can go over and help him!"
"Uh, labor agency?"
"Yes, this is a legitimate business!" Shi Zhijian said earnestly, "You are too old to be young. You can't keep fighting and killing in this life, so you should find some serious business to do! Akagi Xiong, what are you doing in Japan?
Pack up all the idlers, lazy people, and members of the Yamaguchi-gumi and make them sign labor contracts to dig coal in my mine!"
"As for you, Ruan Jinlong, you can also recruit the young people from Vietnam who want to go out and the ambitious men who want to work hard, sign a contract with our company, and let us dig coal together and build a good coal mine together.
cause!"
"In short, the essence of this labor agency is to make the best use of people's talents! Our slogan is, it's glorious to work, it's shameful not to work! Let's dig coal together and create the future with our hands! What do you think?" Shi Zhijian looked at Akagi Xiong and Ruan Jinlong with a smile.
Two people.
"this--"
"Oh, I forgot to mention the important point! Like Sheriff Charlemagne, you also receive commissions based on your head. For every person who introduces someone to join our Shinhwa Group coal mine, you can get a commission of two pounds! Just imagine, if you work hard,
Introduce tens of thousands of people here..."
Akagi Xiong and Ruan Jinlong’s eyes lit up!
"In addition, as the person in charge of the labor agency, I will give you two 5% of the company's shares. This means that you can get a lot of dividends every year by relying on the shares. If the business is good, you will be able to earn a lot of dividends every year.
It’s possible to make three and a half million pounds!”
Akagi Xiong and Ruan Jinlong were completely moved.
"Mr. Shi, no need to say anything! I do!"
"I do too!"
The two of them were so excited!
It's very easy to trick people from your own country into coming to the UK to mine coal! It's a child's play to trick tens of thousands of people in a year! After three years of doing this, you will become a millionaire, and you will definitely make a lot of money!
"I didn't expect you to have such fighting spirit! This business will depend on the two of you working together in the future!" Shi Zhijian praised, "Well, I have even thought about the name of the labor agency. We cannot use the name of our Shinhwa Group, so we will be independent.
Come out and call it a 'loving labor agency'!"
"Love?"
"Yes! We must use love to create the world, use love to awaken those foreigners, and tell them how meaningful coal mining is! Use our hands to create warmth for the British people and the people of other countries! Every day
The burning of a coal is our dedication of love!"
Although Akagi Xiong and Ruan Jinlong knew that most of what Shi Zhijian said was nonsense, they didn't know why they felt it made sense to their ears! As they listened, they began to burn with passion, and they felt more and more that Shi Zhijian was right and very right.
good!
For Shi Zhijian, recruiting these two thieves was a helpless move. His acquisition of Sanbai Company was about to be completed, but the human resources could not catch up with the recruitment.
More than half of the 300 companies are coal mines. These coal mines require a large amount of labor for coal mining. Where do the people come from? The British guys with high wages and benefits alone can drag Shi Zhijian to death. The best way is to hire foreign workers!
The biggest advantage of foreign workers is that their salary requirements are relatively low, and there are basically no benefits. The most important thing is that they will not rely on labor unions to find jobs! They are also very obedient!
Shi Zhijian did not come to the UK to do charity.
According to his research, the British economic development after World War II can be divided into two stages: the post-war period of stable development in the 1950s and 1960s. Its main characteristics are slow and sustained economic growth, low unemployment, abundant materials, and continuous consumption levels of the people.
increase.
Economic stagflation in the 1970s. In the 1970s, the United Kingdom always maintained the lowest economic growth rate, the highest inflation rate, and the highest trade deficit record among all developed capitalist countries.
One of the reasons why British coal mining is known as a "sick" industry.
The depletion of old coal mines, expensive refining costs, dilapidated equipment, minimal investment, falling demand due to imports of cleaner, cheaper, more efficient fuels, etc., have brought many coal mines to the brink of bankruptcy!
But in fact, Shi Zhijian clearly knows that these reasons are all excuses. The real reason is the increased burden on human resources! The salary of British coal miners is increasing at a rate of 5.4% every year. Even if the coal mines are not efficient, they still
We need to increase wages for workers.
In addition, in terms of welfare benefits, education funds, medical funds and other projects must be provided for workers’ wives and children. These burdens directly drag these coal mines to death!
Therefore, if you want to revitalize these bankrupt coal mines, you must take drastic measures and make a big change!
This is Shi Zhijian's purpose - to recruit foreign workers to work for him instead of the British, so as to control the resource market of the British Empire!
…
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
A loud siren sounded outside the warehouse!
"No, the police are here!"
"It's really the police, what should I do?"
A bunch of gangsters in the warehouse were panicking and didn't know what to do.
No one expected that just after they kidnapped Shi Zhijian, the London police were chasing them. I had never seen them handle a case with such speed before!
Akagi Xiong and Ruan Jinlong were also horrified, and both looked at Shi Zhijian in panic.
I'm afraid that Shi Zhijian will go back on what he just said, and then they will die without a burial place!
Shi Zhijian comforted them: "Don't panic, I will take care of it later! As for you, you must be obedient!"
"Okay, Mr. Shi! We listen to you!"
"We will do whatever you say!"
In front of Shi Zhijian, this group of ruthless gangsters transformed into good children, waiting eagerly for Shi Zhijian to save their lives.
"Damn bastard! How dare you kidnap Viscount Shi Zhijian in front of me! You don't even take Charlemagne seriously!" Charlemagne said with a vicious look on his face in the police car, biting a big cigar.
For him, the previous kidnapping was simply a shame! While he was peeing, the great Viscount was kidnapped, and he was slapped on the forehead with a razor blade and viciously threatened! This must not be tolerated.
!
So after returning to the police station to mobilize troops, Charlemagne relied on powerful tips to track down the warehouse immediately!
"Sir, we have surrounded this warehouse and we are following your instructions now!" A police officer ran over and saluted.
"Well, very good!" Charlemagne jumped out of the police car with a cigar in his mouth, adjusted his police hat, and then looked up at the warehouse in front of him with great authority!
More than thirty police officers with guns and ammunition are ambushing around the warehouse. They can rush in with a single order!
Charlemagne waved to the side.
The person next to him quickly handed the loudspeaker into his hand.
Charlemagne patted the horn, feeling the sound, and then raised the big stick and shouted to the warehouse: "People inside, listen, you are surrounded by me! If you know what to do, raise your hands and surrender! Zhong You,
We must ensure the safety of Mr. Shi Zhijianshi!"
No movement!
The policeman next to him said to Charlemagne: "Sir, how about we rush in?"
Charlemagne directly hit him in the face with the cigar he held: "Come in? What if the kidnappers get desperate and take Mr. Shi hostage? If something happens to him, who can be responsible?"
His hands were burned by the cigar and his cheeks were sore, but he didn't dare to say anything.
At this moment, there was a creak and the warehouse door opened.
"All on alert!"
Wow!
All police officers pointed their guns at the gate.
Charlemagne also looked ahead nervously, fearing that Shi Zhijian would be in danger.
Amid everyone's nervousness, Shi Zhijian, dressed in white, walked out of the warehouse with ease.
"Everyone, please don't act rashly!" Charlemagne saw that it was Shi Zhijian and immediately ordered his men, fearing that they would do something wrong if they were nervous.
Following closely behind Shi Zhijian were Akagi Xiong, Ruan Jinlong and others.
The police officers became nervous again and immediately pointed their guns at them.
But I saw the kidnappers raising their hands one by one, obviously raising their hands to surrender!
Charlemagne breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said: "Come forward and rescue Mr. Shi!"
Wow!
The police officers rushed forward, protected Shi Zhijian, and surrounded the kidnappers. Just when they were about to handcuff Akagi Xiong and others, Shi Zhijian turned around and said, "Wait a minute! Let me have a few words with your chief!"
All the police officers looked at each other, but they knew that Shi Zhijian's identity was not trivial, so they obediently did not take action, and just kept Akagi Xiong and others under guard.
When Charlemagne heard that Shi Zhijian wanted to talk to him, he hurriedly walked over and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, for making you suffer!"
"It's okay, let's talk further!" Shi Zhijian pulled Charlemagne aside.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhijian told Charlemagne what happened in the warehouse, and told Charlemagne that he had accepted Chi Muxiong and Ruan Jinlong as his younger brothers, and asked them to help Charlemagne set up a labor agency to operate human resources externally.
"Uh, what?" Charlemagne was dumbfounded after hearing this, wondering if he heard correctly.
I feel like this Mr. Shi is really not following the rules and has no trace of what he does.
"I am doing this for your own good! After all, many times it is inconvenient for you to come forward, so you still need someone to help you block the gun!" Shi Zhijian pointed out the key point in one sentence.
Charlemagne rolled his eyes and understood.
The establishment of a labor agency is, to put it nicely, to manage human resources. To put it bluntly, it is tantamount to tricking Japanese and Vietnamese people into mining coal for Shi Zhijian. After all, it is not good for this kind of thing to spread!
"Thank you, Mr. Shi! You are very considerate!" Charlemagne said with great gratitude.
"Since you're on my ship, I have to protect you, right?" Shi Zhijian patted Charlemagne on the shoulder.
Charlemagne's bones were soft and his teeth were grinning when he smiled, just like a pet cat after being eaten by its owner!
This scene stunned the surrounding police officers. Chief Charlemagne, who always showed off his power in front of them, actually had such a side?!
