Just when the whole of Hong Kong was talking about Shi Zhijian being impeached by the Legislative Council, Shi Zhijian, as a party involved, took a car and rushed to mediate the conflict between the rickshaw union and the taxi organization.
"Let's have a cigarette!" Shi Zhijian said from behind.
Chen Huimin sat on the driver's seat, took out the cigarette case, and handed the cigarette case to Shi Zhijian with one hand.
Shi Zhijian could still get help from Chen Huimin to smoke some cigarettes outside, but he was strictly prohibited from doing so at home.
In order to let the Shi family flourish as soon as possible, Shi Yufeng became more and more strict on Shi Zhijian's physical management.
Shi Zhijian took out a cigarette from the box and bit it on his mouth. Dasha beside him quickly took out a lighter and helped him light the cigarette.
"Boss, don't go up when we get to the scene later. Dasha and I will help you find out the situation first."
"Yes! Those who pull rickshaws are very fierce, and those who drive taxis are not easy to mess with! This time the two major industries are in conflict, and there will be a fight in 89!" Dasha said at the side.
Shi Zhijian felt warm when he heard this. He knew that Chen Huimin and Dasha cared about him.
But in his current position, seeing things is no longer as simple as before.
As a member of parliament who mediates conflicts, if you don't take part in person, you will be laughed to death!
What's more, in his eyes, Shi Zhijian, both the rickshaw union and the taxi association are just a bunch of rabble.
This conflict is also a matter of their own interests - in order to survive, they have no choice but to form gangs and become hostile to each other!
In fact, there has been a long-standing conflict between rickshaws and taxis.
Ever since taxis appeared to carry passengers, they have gradually become hostile to rickshaws.
In the beginning, rickshaws could tolerate taxis taking away their business. After all, only ordinary people could afford taxis at that time. The cost of more than one yuan per kilometer made many people prohibitive.
On the other hand, rickshaws are still the mainstay of transportation due to their advantage of being "high quality and low price" for only a few cents per kilometer.
However, with the development of the times, the cost of taxis has become more and more accepted by the public. Many people have gradually begun to choose taxis as their main means of transportation in order to be in a hurry, for convenience, and for reasons such as vanity.
Since then, the business of rickshaws, which was already bleak, has become even more difficult. Many rickshaw drivers can't even haul three or five people a day! Even their livelihood has become a problem!
In Hong Kong in this era, there were three types of taxis, namely the urban taxis commonly known as "Red Birds", which were painted red and could travel across the three islands of Hong Kong.
The other is the New Territories taxi, commonly known as "Grasshopper", which is painted green and can only drive in the New Territories.
The last type of Lantau taxi, commonly known as "Blue Lantern", has a blue body and can only drive passengers within the scope of Lantau Island.
It can be said that these three types of taxis are distinct, each has its own territory and cannot be crossed.
The person who clashed with the rickshaw union members this time was the "Red Bird" organization of the Kowloon Line.
…
Inside the Dragon Phoenix Teahouse.
The two major organizations had fifty or sixty members each, staring at each other with eager eyes.
The leader of the rickshaw union is called "New Territories Niu". As his name suggests, he looks as strong as an ox.
The leader of Red Bird Taxi is called "Da Fei Chen", he has a crew cut and a strong build.
New Territories Niu opened his Tang shirt, put one foot on the chair, and said to Da Fei Chen in an arrogant manner: "Da Fei Chen! If you driving taxis want to compete with us pulling rickshaws, you'd better test your abilities first!"
Da Fei Chen also stepped on the chair and pointed at the nose of the New Territories cow: "Why, you think there are so many of you that we are afraid of you? Aunt Pu, you don't even take a pee and look in the mirror. You are a bunch of miserable people. You don’t even have enough to eat, and you still dare to fight with us? I’m really afraid that I’ll beat you to death!”
"Hey! If you say this, we won't have anything to talk about?!"
"It's okay to talk! We're doing taxi business, what's in your way? Why did you stop our car?"
"You've crossed the line, but we're not allowed to talk about it?"
"Everyone is crossing the line, let's make it clear first!"
"Let's talk! Our rickshaws have always been running the Yau Tsim Mong line. Your taxis have always been running in Kwun Tong and Sham Shui Po. Now they are suddenly taking our jobs and trying to starve us to death?" the New Territories cow snorted. road.
Da Fei Chen laughed: "I'm going to give you a hard time! You guys are telling me that the Yau Tsim Mong route belongs to you? Why don't you go to Kwun Tong and Sham Shui Po?"
"That's how it used to be! We don't mess with each other! You want to cheat now?"
"You also said, now is now, and then was before! Yes, we at Red Bird used to often run the Sham Shui Po and Kwun Tong lines. We were pitiful for you, and we were afraid that you would be exhausted from running too far! Now in the Yau Tsim Mong area Customers like to take our taxis, are you going to bite me?"
"What?"
"What what?"
"Fuck your mother!"
"I'll throw your mother away!"
The New Territories Cows are about to start a war when they get off the bench!
Da Fei Chen didn't show any weakness and had already taken out the car wrench from behind!
The two gangs were yelling at each other, and swear words were flying all over the place!
You send my greetings to my mother, and I send my greetings to your eight generations of ancestors!
The teahouse owner was so frightened that he hid under the counter and prayed to God in his heart, hoping not to be affected!
Seeing that the situation was tense, someone suddenly shouted: "Congressman Shi is here!"
Councilor Shi?
Shi Zhijian?!
Whether it was New Territories Niu or Da Fei Chen, they all trembled when they heard Shi Zhijian's name.
Everyone else also stopped yelling and looked towards the stairs together.
When a young boy in the crowd saw this, he couldn't help but mutter: "What the hell, Congressman Shi? Look, you're scaring everyone!" The newborn calf looked disdainful!
The moment I calm down in the teahouse, the sound of leather shoes can be heard on the stairs, step by step, not in a hurry.
Soon, Shi Zhijian, dressed in white, appeared at the stairs!
New Territory Niu, Da Fei Chen and others all held their breaths, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Shi Zhijian is very famous, especially recently the whole of Hong Kong is praising his name.
In the eyes of everyone, Shi Zhijian is simply three-headed and six-armed.
But the young man in white clothes in front of him was so polite and elegant, yet he had a vaguely intimidating aura about him.
Looking at Shi Zhijian again, after going upstairs, he glanced at everyone on both sides, and finally his eyes fell on the stubborn New Territories Cow and the arrogant Da Fei Chen.
Shi Zhijian flicked the cigarette ashes in his hand and pointed to the dining table with his right hand holding the cigarette. There was no emotion or anger in his tone: "Everyone, sit down first! No need to stand up to greet me!"
"Are you... Senator Shek?" New Territories Niu stuttered.
Da Fei Chen looked down on the New Territories Niu: "Of course it's Congressman Shek! Have you ever seen such a handsome guy next to you?"
Shi Zhijian smiled and didn't care about Da Fei Chen's flattery. Gu Yi
Chen Huimin and Dasha, who were closely following Shi Zhijian, stepped forward, cleared a table, and invited Shi Zhijian to sit down.
Shi Zhijian sat down in front of everyone and looked at New Territory Niu and Da Fei Chen again.
The two understood immediately and sat down at the dining table. Because they couldn't figure out Shi Zhijian's thoughts, they didn't dare to sit up straight. They just half-pull their buttocks next to the chair.
Shi Zhijian tapped his fingers on the table and told the restaurant owner: "Please, bring me some cages of barbecued pork buns!"
"Hey!" The owner of the tea restaurant immediately shocked the place when he saw the big shot. He felt confident and asked the waiter to bring two cages of barbecued pork buns and put them on the table.
Shi Zhijian smoked a cigarette and said to New Territories Niu and Da Fei Chen: "Eat!"
"Well?"
New Territories Cow looks towards Da Fei Chen.
Da Fei Chen laughed and said, "Councillor Shi felt sorry for us because we didn't have enough to eat, so he invited us to eat barbecued pork! Thank you in advance!" After saying that, he took a cage of three, five, and divided two and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing this, the New Territories cattle also started to eat.
Soon, the two cages of barbecued pork bottomed out!
Shi Zhijian said to the boss: "Bring over ten more cages!"
"Well?"
The situation is very delicate!
Soon ten cages of barbecued pork were placed in front of him, and Shi Zhijian said to New Territories Niu and Da Fei Chen: "Continue!"
New Territories Niu looked at Da Fei Chen again.
Da Fei Chen laughed and said, "Congressman Shi is afraid that we won't be full with one basket of food, so please let us eat a few more baskets! Come on!" He picked up the barbecued pork buns and stuffed them into his mouth again!
Seeing this, the New Territories cattle started eating too!
Ten cages!
Twenty cages!
Even if New Territories Cow and Da Fei Chen are big eaters, they still can't withstand Shi Zhijian's torture!
Soon they couldn't eat any more! The barbecued pork stuffed into their mouths gushed out!
Seeing them like this, those around them all had dry throats and felt the same way!
"No! Cough cough cough! I can't eat any more!" Da Fei Chen spat out the barbecued pork dregs in his mouth and coughed.
"Me too! Ugh——!" New Territories Cow bent over and retched.
Everyone saw them like this, but they didn't dare to help.
Shi Zhijian crushed the cigarette in the ashtray and then looked up at the two of them: "Can you still eat it?"
New Territory Niu and Da Fei Chen both had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads and shook their heads hurriedly.
After Shi Zhijian said this, he stood up and turned around to look at the environment, "As the saying goes, you can eat as much food as your stomach has! If you are greedy, it will easily burst!"
"Congressman Shi, no..."
"Shut up!" Shi Zhijian turned around and stared with blazing eyes. Da Fei Chen, who was about to speak, was so frightened that he immediately shut his mouth.
The hundreds of people in the entire teahouse were so frightened into silence by Shi Zhijian's words.
The boy who looked down on Shi Zhijian before felt what "aura" means for the first time!
"You can run a taxi business! You can go to Yau Tsim Mong from Kwun Tong or Sham Shui Po! But why do you want to have a conflict with them? Do you want to fight, do you want to kill someone? Do you really think that you can settle it in one fight?
!That’s great, come on!”
Da Fei, Chen and others did not dare to say anything, let alone refute.
Shi Zhijian looked at New Territories Niu and others again: "I know how hard it is for you rickshaw pullers! I also know that it is difficult for you to do business! It must be the fault of the taxis that it is difficult to do business? Think about it, buses and trams are so popular now,
Sooner or later, rickshaws will be replaced! When the time comes, are you going to fight against the other side? Are you going to fight against the bus company or the tram company? If you can’t fight, you have to think about it. This is called the trend of the times!”
New Territories Niu and others were speechless.
Shi Zhijian took one last look at everyone: "You are actually in the same group! Why bother to make things difficult for each other? We are all ordinary people, so why should we fight against each other? You should be helping each other! It is not easy for poor people to make a living, and they have many friends.
Road! If you can’t pull a rickshaw, why don’t you learn to drive a taxi with them? You don’t have enough people to drive a taxi, so why don’t you help them switch careers and become friends?!”
"But driving a foreign car is so difficult!"
"Yes, you still need to understand foreign languages and get a driver's license!" A group of New Territories cattle said bitterly.
"It's more comfortable to pull a rickshaw, just pull it and run away!"
Shi Zhijian smiled when he saw everyone's fear and excitement: "They are human beings, and you are human beings too! Why can't you do what they can do?"
New Territories Niu and others were speechless again!
Shi Zhijian turned around and walked back to Da Fei Chen, who looked ugly: "I ask you to help them, are you willing?"
Da Fei Chen nodded fiercely: "Congressman Shi is right! We are all poor people, and many of them come to Hong Kong to make a living! We should help each other! Today I, Da Fei Chen, swear to Congressman Shi that from now on
If one of the rickshaw pullers wants to change careers, I, Da Fei Chen, will definitely help him to the end!" He slapped his chest hard.
Shi Zhijian nodded and looked at the New Territories Cow again.
The New Territories Cow didn't hesitate. He raised his fist and said to Da Fei Chen: "Thank you first!"
Suddenly, the tense situation turned into a deep brotherly love!
Seeing this, Shi Zhijian ordered the boss: "Place more than a dozen banquets, including abalone fins and belly! I'm inviting these friends to dinner today! As for the accounts, all of them will be recorded in my account!"
"Yes, Congressman Shi!" the restaurant owner said cheerfully. Unexpectedly, not only did he not start a fight, but he also made a big business!
"Congressman Shi is too kind!"
"Yeah, how can we be so embarrassed!"
When they heard that Shi Zhijian was going to treat them to a meal of abalone fins and belly, these Kuhaha people immediately clasped their fists in thanksgiving.
Shi Zhijian also clasped his fists at them: "You are willing to turn the conflict into friendship just to give me Mr. Shi some face. It's just a meal. Please don't be polite!"
"Congressman Shi takes Bo Yuntian seriously!"
"Yes, long live Congressman Shi!"
These poor people are very simple. It is best if someone treats them and fills their stomachs!
For them, there was no need for a big shot like Shi Zhijian to treat them to a meal! But now, Shi Zhijian's move made them grateful, because this was not just a meal, but Shi Zhijian showed absolute respect for them!
Just when New Territory Niu and Da Fei Chen's gang were clasping their fists and bowing to express their gratitude to Shi Zhijian, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs, very fast!
"Mr. Shi! Mr. Shi, are you there?" It was the fat lawyer Liang Youcai's voice.
Shi Zhijian frowned and saw Liang Youcai hurriedly coming up from downstairs. As soon as he saw Shi Zhijian, he hurriedly ran to him. Regardless of the many people around him watching, he leaned towards Shi Zhijian and whispered softly in Shi Zhijian's ear: "It's not good, boss."
! Those ghost guys in the Legislative Council are going to publicly impeach you!" Then the ghost guys made a fuss about the Flying Tigers, a gold-eating beast, thinking that the Flying Tigers wasted public children, squandered taxpayers' money, etc.!
Shi Zhijian's expression did not change when he heard this, but he laughed out loud and said: "Those ghost guys like this trick the most! Even the President of the United States has been impeached. It seems that they are really at their wits end!"
Liang Youcai was going crazy with anxiety. Unexpectedly, Shi Zhijian acted as if nothing had happened when he heard the news. He couldn't help but said: "If the impeachment is successful, boss, you will be kicked out of the Legislative Council! And by then, the Flying Tigers will also
Will be dismissed immediately!"
Shi Zhijian raised his eyebrows and walked downstairs: "Then let's give it a try! I want to let these ghosts know that I am bringing shame on myself!"
