0686 [Play another day!] (5000 word chapter)(1/2)

Unfortunately, before the parade could reach the front of the "Oriental Daily" newspaper office, it started to rain in a steady stream.

During this period of time, there was a lot of rain in Hong Kong, and God wiped away tears at every turn. The people who were originally watching the excitement had to disperse and seek shelter elsewhere. Only a few little kids were not afraid of the rain and laughed and played around the parade.

It's like a stage performance. If the audience is full, the actors on the stage will be in high spirits.

On the contrary, if the seats under the stage are empty, the performers on the stage will feel disappointed and embarrassed.

Wang Kuifa, who was leading the parade, saw that there were fewer and fewer people in the team, and many people ran out to take shelter from the rain. He cursed in his heart, "I'm embarrassing your mother. You can't even bear this pain, how can you defeat those black-hearted capitalists?!"

In fact, the poor in this era are most afraid of getting wet, because treating colds and fevers requires money, and medical treatment in this era is very expensive, and there is no free medical care, let alone medical insurance and social security. Everyone is seeking happiness and good health.

To live longer.

Wow!

The drizzle gradually became heavier and turned into rain beans, falling down!

"Wow, it's raining heavily! Take shelter first!"

"Yeah, it's raining too much. Let's march later!"

Another large wave of people fled from the team.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Cao Apao, the dock worker who had the best relationship with Wang Kuifa, couldn't help but said to Wang Kuifa: "Brother Fa, why don't we take shelter from the rain first? Look, it's raining so hard!"

Wang Kuifa pushed Cao Apao away and yelled at him: "Why avoid? I avoid your mother! Why didn't you say avoidance when collecting money? Use people's money to eliminate disasters! You're such a big deal.

The wind and rain frightened you? Your mother!"

"Also, the newspaper office of "Oriental Daily" is just ahead! We just need to bring the team there and let the newspaper reporters take more photos. Today's task will be completed! Don't give me any more nagging!"

Cao Apao said with a bitter face: "No, you see, many people have deserted the team and ran away! If we persist, we will be drowned when we get to the newspaper office!"

"It's better to become a drowned rat! Let those ghost guys see how determined we are to ask for a raise!" Wang Kuifa wiped the rain off his face, then raised his arms and shouted: "Go forward!"

Cao Apao saw that Wang Kuifa was so stubborn and no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart, "I don't know, you took advantage of the cobra Xie Yonghua and came here to show off your power and give orders. Poor people like us are different. We can easily get sick if we soak in the rain."

Why don't you spend money to treat us?!

In the pouring rain, the remaining demonstrators had no choice but to rush forward.

At this moment, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was blowing loudly, making the awnings of the surrounding shops rustle.

The banners in the team could no longer lift, and they were wrinkled in the wind and rain, looking very embarrassed.



Braving the wind and rain, everyone rushed forward with their heads down.

At this time, seven or eight cars suddenly drove towards this direction from the front.

Gradually, getting closer.

Crunch!

Even if it is windy and rainy, you can clearly hear the sound of the car braking.

In the pouring rain, a black Bentley made a beautiful drift, rolled up a layer of water waves, and lay across the front, blocking the parade.

"Uh, what happened?"

The team stopped, and the leaders Wang Kuifa, Cao Apao and others couldn't help but squint and look ahead in the rain.

Everyone in the team was wiping away the rain and looking ahead in surprise.

As the black Bentley sedan pulled up to the front, the six cars behind it also parked neatly on both sides. More than twenty people in black got out of the car, all holding black umbrellas, and ran to the front to form a spectacular umbrella aisle.

Click!

The Bentley opened, Chen Huimin got out of the car, opened an umbrella, and then Shi Zhijian, who had a slicked back hair and was wearing a white suit, got out of the car.

Shi Zhijian's shiny black leather shoes fell on the rainy ground. He raised his head, lifted his waist, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards Wang Kuifa and others.

Wang Kuifa and others stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes and some disbelief.

"What are you doing? Making a movie?! This lineup, this attitude—"

Soon, Shi Zhijian strolled up to the crowd, and the raindrops hit the umbrella, making a "crackling" sound.

Shi Zhijian calmly took out his handkerchief and dipped it into his cheeks that were splashed by the rain. Then he stuffed the handkerchief into his arms again and raised his hand toward his side——

Dasha came forward with an umbrella and handed him a loudspeaker specially designed for the police.

Shi Zhijian took the horn and patted it, and the horn made a harsh "bang bang" sound.

Shi Zhijian then picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to the parade: "Hello everyone, I am the new director of Wharf Company, and my name is Shi Zhijian!"

"Shi Zhijian? Why is this name so familiar?"

"So young!"

"Yes, you became the director at such a young age!"

People in the team talked about it.

"Now, I want to negotiate with you on behalf of the company. Which one of you can make the decision?" Shi Zhijian looked around the parade, and finally his eyes fell on the tough-looking Wang Kuifa at the front.

Wang Kuifa couldn't figure out Shi Zhijian's background, so he immediately stepped forward, patted his chest in the heavy rain and said, "Me! My name is Wang Kuifa, and I can make the decision!"

People next to them: "Yes, Fa Ge is our leader. What do you have to say to him?"

Shi Zhijian smiled: "Really? You know what I say. Now I am speaking to you on behalf of the company. If you have any requests, just make them!"

When Wang Kuifa heard that the other party was here to negotiate, he immediately felt confident. He wiped the rain off his face and waved his hands and said: "It's very simple, raise your salary!"

"How much more?"

"At least twice as much!"

"Double?" Shi Zhijian paused, "If I remember correctly, your current minimum salary is 300 Hong Kong dollars. If it is doubled, it will be 600 yuan, right?"

"Yes! It seems that you are really the new director, and you even want to ask us such a small question! Hahaha!" Wang Kuifa laughed wantonly.

Cao Apao and others also laughed.

The laughter was full of contempt for Shi Zhijian! He has no hair on his lips and can't do his job well! Even though the battle was huge, he turned out to be a young boy!

Faced with everyone's ridicule, Shi Zhijian said nothing and just snapped his fingers backward.

Dasha stepped forward and showed a black leather suitcase.

Shi Zhijian signaled and asked Dasha to open the suitcase.

Snap!

The suitcase is opened——

Instantly, the people at the front of the parade stopped laughing.

The people behind were still laughing, but suddenly they realized something was wrong. Why was there no sound in front? They stretched their necks and looked forward, and then they were also stunned!

I saw a box full of money in the black suitcase in front of me!

The brand new and neat banknotes rustled in the wind, giving off a seductive smell!

Wang Kuifa's eyes went straight when he saw so much money.

Cao Apao and the others were even more unbearable. Their jaws dropped in shock, their mouths opened wide, and their eyes widened!

How many should this be?

Three hundred thousand?

Or half a million?

How have these poor people ever seen so much money?

"There are five hundred thousand here! This is the benefit I have obtained from the company for you!" Shi Zhi vowed firmly.

"It is impossible to increase your salary by doubling it! The minimum wage in Hong Kong is now NT$400. The most I can promise you is this salary!"

"Now there are two ways for you. Either accept my mediation, get a salary of 400 yuan, and continue to work under the contract with the company. I will fight for more benefits for you in the future, such as holiday overtime pay, etc. Or all of you -"

Shi Zhijian circled the index finger of his right hand, his eyes blazing: "Take this 500,000 yuan and cancel the contract with the company!"

"What?" The scene exploded!

They asked for a salary increase to be doubled to 600 yuan! But the other party was only willing to give 400 yuan!

If they are not satisfied, more than 1,000 of them will divide 500,000 yuan among them. No one can get 500 yuan and directly terminate the contract with the company and leave!

Someone in the team started to make a commotion.

In fact, the salary level offered by Shi Zhijian is already very good. The minimum wage in Hong Kong was NT$300 three years ago. At that time, Shi Zhijian's elder sister Shi Yufeng earned that much in one month's work at Li Jiacheng Plastic Flower Factory.

Then the minimum wage level changed from 300 to 400 in three years. These dock workers' jobs have no technical content and have not increased. It is understandable that the dock workers are demanding a wage increase this time.

To this end, Shi Zhijian also studied with the senior executives of Wharf and Jardine Matheson, and felt that in order to solve the dock workers' strike, the problem must be solved fundamentally, that is, a wage increase!

Four hundred yuan is indeed the minimum salary level in Hong Kong, but it is already one-third more than before. More importantly, Shi Zhijian promised to give them overtime pay and holiday pay in the future. So as long as they are diligent enough, at least a month

You can also earn five or six hundred yuan!

As for getting out of here after being given half a million, apart from having the brute force to find a job at the dock, the most they can do outside is to pull a rickshaw or go to a fruit stall to help people load and unload goods. The problem is
