Chapter 667 Recruiting Soldiers
"Announcement on Holding a Joint Recruitment of Trade Unions by Geng Liangchen and An Yufeng of Tianjin Transportation Industry Association":
At the request of Mr. Geng Liangchen and Mr. An Yufeng, this newspaper made an announcement. At two o'clock this afternoon, on-site job fairs will be held at eight places including the east gate of Quanyechang, the south side of Wanguo Bridge, and Dagu Square... to recruit people throughout the city. Fifty thousand stevedores!
Requirements: good health, hard-working and no gang background such as Qinggang or Santonghui.
Remuneration: Sign a formal labor contract, with a guaranteed monthly salary of no less than 20 yuan!
Interested parties please bring a Dayang registration fee to the recruitment site at the agreed time and location to sign and register. This job fair will start at two o'clock and end at eight o'clock in the evening. The time is limited and no waiting will be done after the deadline. "
Early the next morning, all the major newspapers published such a special recruitment notice.
The recruitment of Liba in the foot industry was actually published in the newspaper. This is definitely a new thing that has never happened before.
Moreover, Geng Liangchen, the hero of Jinmen, is recruiting, which is even more novel!
Coupled with the terrifying number of 50,000 people and the super high monthly salary of 20 oceans, this recruitment notice quickly aroused heated discussion in the city and the public opinion was in an uproar!
Many people think that Geng Liangchen is worthy of being a hero in Jinmen. He makes big moves and stirs up the storm when he appears.
Some people think that Geng Liangchen made a mistake this time and may become the laughing stock of the whole country.
They have reason to say: "Recruiting Liba in the newspaper? Haha, what international joke are you kidding? Which Liba reads the newspaper? How many Liba are literate? Who can afford to read the newspaper? Who will become a Liba? Ba? Geng Liangchen was too clever this time, haha..."
But what these mocking people didn't know was that Su Yi dispersed all the hundreds of subordinates who were loyal to him, went to the place where Lipas often gathered, took a newspaper and read the recruitment notice out loud over and over again.
Unless they are deaf and cannot understand human speech, it is impossible for the Lipas not to receive this exciting and surprising news.
These people who laughed at Su Yi didn't even know that Su Yi had advertised it widely, letting everyone in the city know about his promise - a guaranteed monthly salary of no less than 20 yuan. It's such a rare guarantee.
No one thought that the dignified Jinmen hero would break his promise and ruin his reputation, so the Liba people who should have been skeptical almost all believed Su Yi's promise immediately.
The current income of the Lipas is about seven or eight oceans. Now Su Yi promises that their monthly income will be no less than twenty oceans, which is equivalent to three times their current salary!
For the Liba people who are struggling to make ends meet, who can resist such a temptation?
No one!
Not one!
Not to mention, Su Yi specially sent someone to explain to the Liba people why there was a guaranteed monthly salary of twenty yuan, thus dispelling their last doubts.
Su Yi and An Yufeng jointly promised that starting from tomorrow, all foot guild members who work under the Hong Bang and Geng Bang will only be charged eight yuan in monthly foot guild membership fees. The original car rental fee will be cancelled, and will be charged to management. The fee is ten yuan.
In other words, the monthly expenditure of each Liba was as high as thirty-five oceans, but now it has been reduced by nearly half to only eighteen oceans!
The seventeen oceans saved, plus their original income of seven or eight oceans, wouldn't they be able to get twenty oceans a month?
Knowing where the guaranteed monthly salary of twenty oceans will come from, the Lipas feel more at ease.
Especially with the reputation of Jinmen heroes and the word-of-mouth effect of "Xiao Mengchang", almost no one doubts its authenticity.
Before nine o'clock in the morning, the entire walking circle was completely blown away!
Regardless of whether he had a job or not, Liba was completely crazy.
Who would be willing to take only seven or eight oceans of hard-earned money when they can get a salary of more than 20 oceans?
Who would be willing to contribute to the notorious Qinggang and Santonghui if they could follow the Jinmen heroes who had a good reputation and a reputation for benevolence and justice?
Liba, who works under Geng Liangchen, is given some benefits every now and then. Every time he fights for the dock or makes some achievements, he will definitely be rewarded. But what about the Qinggang and Santonghui?
Nothing!
Not only do you get nothing, but you also have to draw a lottery of life and death. If you are unlucky and win the lottery, you will have to die.
The remuneration is poor and there is no guarantee, and your life is in danger from being prostituted for free from time to time. Even a fool knows what to choose.
Fortunately for the Hong Gang, after all, the Hong Gang also participated in this open recruitment, and An Yufeng had announced early in the morning that the Hong Gang would honor the treatment in the newspaper, but if Liba had equal treatment, If you want to change jobs and change the boss, I'm sorry, but such people will be expelled by Geng Liangchen and the Hong Gang, and they will never be able to earn a living like Zu Xing again in the future.
So on the territory of the Hong Gang, the Liba people were supposed to be working and working, and they were as cheerful as if they were celebrating the New Year. They had nothing else to think about except being happy.
Although Wu Xing and Zhongyi Society did not sign their names in the newspaper, they also informed their subordinates early in the morning that from now on, their treatment would be the same as that of Geng Liangchen and Hong Gang.
Neither Zheng Shanao nor Qian Jin could understand Su Yi's behavior of throwing coins, and thought he was panicking because he had too much money.
Even if you want to win people's hearts, there's no need to spend so much money, right?
If you give the Lipas an extra four or five oceans a month, that's enough for them to be grateful to you. If you give an extra seventeen or eight oceans at once, aren't you afraid of feeding the Lipas to death?
Is this necessary?
Don’t you, Geng Liangchen, understand the principle of promoting rice and fighting against rice and hatred?
Regarding Qian Jin, Su Yi had no obligation to answer his questions, but he did chat a few more words about Zheng Shanao.
"I am the leader of the foot trade, not for money, but for power, influence and fame."
"If I just let the Liba earn four or five more dollars a month, they will support me, but if they encounter a crisis, they will abandon me decisively like this time."
Before today, Su Yi was not bad to his Liba, with high salary, good welfare, humanistic care and generous subsidies, otherwise Su Yi would not have won the title of "Little Mengchang".
But what was the result?
When Su Yi got into trouble, how many Liba fought for him?
More than 10,000 people dispersed in a flash, leaving only 300 people.
Su Yi would not blame these people for being ungrateful, because they were all poor people, working hard to make money, and their families were all waiting for them to support them, so they could not talk about loyalty with Su Yi.
Even if they feel sorry for Su Yi, even if they know that without Su Yi, they will lose their good treatment and will be exploited by other gangs, they will still choose to abandon Su Yi and return to their original life.
Because they have to support their families, they don't want their families to go hungry.
And even if Su Yi gives them eight or ten more dollars, it is not worth their life for Su Yi.
So when the Qing Gang and the Santonghui attacked, the Liba people saw no hope and naturally scattered.
But what if Su Yi gave them more benefits at that time?
"I have tripled their treatment now! Their annual income has increased by nearly two hundred dollars! And I will let them know that only when I am the leader can they get so much money. If I am not the leader, they will not get so much more money. What do you think they will do?"
"In this case, Liba will naturally support you and protect you to death. Anything you say is an imperial decree to them. Your goal can naturally be achieved, but you cut off other people's financial resources. I am afraid that others will hate you to death." Zheng Shanao sighed and said, "Don't talk about others, just talk about me , you make me lose thousands of dollars every month for no reason, why should I be crazy with you? You get power and fame, but I suffer heavy losses, why? "
"I will naturally explain to the Hong Gang and Zhongyi Society." Su Yi said with a smile, "For the martial arts industry, the compensation will be in the martial arts school. For us, the martial arts school is the top priority, and the business of the foot industry is just the hen that lays eggs."
"As for the Qing Gang and the Santong Society..." Su Yi's mouth curled up, "They can either bet with me or wait for the monkeys to scatter when the tree falls!"
"Be careful of their dirty tricks." Zheng Shanao reminded.
"I understand." Su Yi said with a smile.
The Qing Gang and the Santong Society were caught off guard by Su Yi's operation.
Jia Changqing and Wu Zantong were almost mad.
They had planned everything, but they never expected that Su Yi would come up with such a wicked move to fight back against them.
Although they reacted quickly and immediately sent their men to block the Liba and prevent them from escaping, they still lost a lot of people.
The remaining Liba were blocked in time, but unfortunately they could block the people but not the people. These Liba wanted to escape, and they were so numerous that they soon started to make noise and were about to cause a mutiny.
The Qing Gang and the Santong Society were so exhausted that they finally managed to stabilize the Liba by coercion and inducement, but this was only temporary. They knew very well that these Liba might run away at any time. The income doubled from seven oceans to more than twenty oceans per month. No Liba could resist such temptation.
But if they followed Su Yi and gave the Liba such treatment, their monthly income would be reduced by half. How could they accept it?
In order to deal with this emergency, Jia Changqing and Wu Zantong made an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures together.
"Damn Geng Liangchen, he is simply harming others and not benefiting himself, what a bastard!" Jia Changqing was so angry that he kept cursing Wu Zantong and refused to stop.
"Will scolding him make him lose a piece of meat?" Wu Zantong said with a dark face, "Geng Liangchen will gather tens of thousands of Liba for his use in the shortest time if he does this. When that happens, we will have to give up the territory we have conquered and return it to him! Are you willing to accept that all our hard work is in vain?"
"He is digging our foundation!" Jia Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "Old Wu, we can't just sit there and wait for death!"
"What do you want?" Wu Zantong looked at him with a smile.
"Gather the troops and fight him immediately!" Jia Changqing said, "Send people to disrupt his job fair and make him unable to recruit anyone!"
"Haha, go ahead if you want!" Wu Zantong sneered, "Don't even mention whether you can gather people to fight Geng Liangchen. Even if you can, aren't you afraid that these tyrants will turn against Geng Liangchen as soon as they see him? And send people to disrupt the job fair? If Geng Liangchen could be dealt with so easily, why wait until today?"
"Then what do you say we should do?" Jia Changqing said impatiently.
"We can only kill him!" Wu Zantong gritted his teeth and said, "Geng Liangchen is the culprit. As long as he dies, everything will end completely."
Jia Changqing shook his head and sighed, "How easy is it? This person is so popular now, how can he be so easy to kill?"
"It's because it's not easy, so I'm looking for you to join forces!" Wu Zantong said grimly, "Jia Changqing, Geng Liangchen is pressing step by step, you see it? He just wants to kill us all! If we don't take action now, we will just sit and wait for him to die when he is strong enough!"
Jia Changqing's face was uncertain, revealing a look of intention.
Wu Zantong strikes while the iron is hot: "And this matter must be done quickly, otherwise when he recruits enough people, it will be even more difficult to kill him at that time. Maybe we will never have such an opportunity again!"
Jia Changqing was finally persuaded.
Just when the two were about to formally set up the assassination plan and kill Su Yi, a younger brother at the door came to report that Geng Liangchen's men had just arrived. He handed a wooden box to the younger brother who was guarding the door and asked the younger brother to pass it to the two of them, and then left.
The two looked at each other and saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.
This meeting was considered a secret meeting, but Geng Liangchen sent someone directly to the place where they met. Doesn't this mean that Geng Liangchen always knows their whereabouts?
Both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts.
The wooden box was opened, and there was nothing else inside, only a newspaper.
The front-page headline of the newspaper was "Zhang Jingyao was beheaded at the Six Nations Hotel!"
When the two saw this newspaper, their scalps tingled.
They were not stupid people. They knew that Su Yi's move was to warn them not to play dirty.
If we talk about playing dirty, he, Su Yi, is the ancestor!
Su Yi was able to kill Zhang Jingyao in the heavily guarded Six Nations Hotel, so it would be a piece of cake to kill them.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally decided to give up the assassination.
They were frightened by a newspaper from Su Yi.
They couldn't play the game, and they didn't dare to play dirty. They found sadly that they really couldn't do anything to Su Yi.
In the end, the Qing Gang and the Santonghui successively announced to their subordinates that they would follow Su Yi to increase the salary, which stabilized the situation.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the recruitment places listed in the newspaper were already crowded with people.
Although Su Yi stipulated a registration fee of one dollar, the Liba almost rushed to pay it, wanting to be under Su Yi's command.
The subordinates in charge of registration were even too busy later, and a huge wooden box on the side was soon filled with a box of dollars, but people who came to apply for jobs were still pouring into these places.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, according to incomplete statistics, the number of Liba who came to apply for the job had exceeded 30,000!
In other words, Su Yi had collected more than 30,000 yuan in registration fees alone!
At the same time, Su Yi was entertaining his guest, Liang Yanqing, in Dengying Tower.
Yesterday in Liang's house, Su Yi made an appointment with Liang Yanqing for a personal interview through the housekeeper. The latter hesitated again and again, but finally came.
