Chapter 160 Verbal confrontation
Sheffield himself didn't mind what other people called him, but it aroused Evelin's hatred and hatred. Although she was judged by Sheffield as having a sense of justice, she was not right. Her boss was insulted for no reason, which made her furious.
I asked, "Why are these people like this?"
"If I were to wear a police uniform, I would probably get a lot of respect, but I'm not one of those bastards wearing dog skin." In Sheffield's eyes, the police are just uniformed bodyguards who serve themselves.
Departments, no matter how many there are, there will be no more.
However, in all dynasties, people of all generations have fear of the government. Chinese people despise businessmen in their bones. This is something that cannot be helped, and in fact, there is no need to change. In fact, looking down on businessmen is a common phenomenon in the world.
Even in Europe, the current center of the world, many ordinary people look down on businessmen.
Do you think that everywhere is a beacon of capitalism? At present, the only country where money worship occupies the mainstream of society is the United States. Massive wealth is sought after, not reviled. Sheffield will definitely be worthy of this pursuit, realize his ideals as soon as possible, and raise the ceiling of the United States
It was built so tightly that these bastards would never be able to get in.
Therefore, the Pacific Coast has become extremely important. In Sheffield's eyes, his current behavior is no less than that of his grandfather who moved his family from New Orleans and established a foothold in Texas, which was still very desolate at the time. This is Sheffield's
A crucial step in the history of the family that should not have existed.
Now what he has to complete is the second step. This step is to go out and successfully establish a foothold on the Pacific coast. Only then will he have the capital to compete with Yang Ji. On the one hand, as the heir to a large company, he
Without any shame, he sent a telegram to Arlington, saying that he needed a certain amount of manpower now, not workers, but employees of the Black Gold Company.
As a Dixie who had just arrived on the West Coast, he had no feelings for the two million West Coast citizens. He would not frown even if they were all dead, but his own safety was very important. He spoke when it was time to speak.
What's more, it really takes a little strength to scare some assholes, such as the middle-aged man who is talking nonsense in front of him, wearing a white shirt on the upper body and overalls on the lower body, talking non-stop, acting like an asshole who says I am a local.
The California Workers Party is actually a civil organization, similar to the Ku Klux Klan, but it mainly focuses on safeguarding the interests of the working class. Sheffield kept nodding his head, thinking, what the hell does it have to do with me?
I traveled across the thirteen states in the south, what kind of people have I not seen? Talking and laughing with Rockefeller and Dupont? Who do you think you are, dare to talk nonsense in front of me? Have you washed the mud under your feet?
Of course, Sheffield was just thinking in his heart that it is natural human rights and it is understandable for people to come and talk to the ugly capitalists for the benefit of the working class in this country.
"Mr. William, we know that you are a very rich and generous man, but can you consider the rights and interests of the citizens of this country? Why hire some outsiders?" The simple worker representative burst into tears in front of Sheffield, saying that he could not understand the social elite's behavior.
He acted without regard for the overall situation. It was obvious that the other party had said this statement many times, otherwise he would not have been so seamlessly connected and said it without any slip of the tongue.
Sheffield's guess was not wrong at all. This worker representative had really said similar words to different capitalists many times. The earliest time could even be traced back ten years ago. He also said the same thing to various capitalists who did not care about the overall situation.
Saw a lot.
"Then what do you want to do?" Sheffield felt a little funny when he saw this scene. He really didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing one day, and he actually stood on the opposite side of the working class. He really lived up to his previous life.
The teachings of teachers in school.
"Boss, our workers also need this job!" Finally, the worker representative said sternly, "Behind every hard-working worker is a family."
"Oh?" Sheffield blinked to show that he understood what the other party meant, and then took out the English version of the recruitment notice and placed it on the table. The first item was, sixteen hours of work, fifteen dollars per month.
.Looking at the worker representative holding up the recruitment notice, Sheffield chirped, "If you workers can do it, I will stop recruiting immediately and let you go to work."
"Is this? Is this condition too harsh?" The worker representatives looked at the job recruitment notice seriously, and they were a little doubtful that if we went back to ten years ago, there would be people with such conditions.
"It's impossible to get the job notice back. A piece of paper is quite expensive!" Sheffield took back the job notice unceremoniously and said with a look of disgust, "There is so much land in California, you can definitely buy a piece of your own."
Farming, there is no need to compete with illegal immigrants for jobs. In the final analysis, are you not lazy? I think if those Chinese workers had the same rights to purchase land as you, you would not even be able to eat, not even drink."
"Do you think I look down on you too much? Let me tell you, I am not even willing to give out this little money. Back then, our family's labor force was free, and with a gun to the forehead, who would dare not to work? How could anyone?
A gangster like you, talking like this in front of me?" Sheffield stood up, pinching his waist, and sternly accused the California Workers' Party of greed. It simply left no profit for the capitalists and only knew how to blame and hate.
Be rich without thinking about what you have failed to do well.
"The citizens of the United States built their country through struggle and have the frugality and diligence of the Puritans. At least I don't see it in you, but I see it in the Chinese workers."
As a representative of the California Workers' Party, the visitor felt that he was used to the shamelessness of capitalists. But this was the first time he had seen such a shameless capitalist with such a huge accumulation of knowledge.
Before she could react, Sheffield was already ready to see off the guests. At this moment, Evelin, dressed in a small uniform, squirmed in, smiled friendly at the visitor, and handed the telegram to the visitor.
Sheffield said, "It's a telegram from Arlington."
"All of them?" Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said to the workers' representatives who had not yet left, "You people can't even see the danger in front of you. You only focus on the small profits every day.
Let me ask you, the Chinese workers are across the Pacific Ocean, and this group itself will not settle in the United States. They will leave as soon as they finish their work. On the other side of the border, the Spanish-speaking Mexicans not only do not leave after they arrive, but they also stay here.
Settlement, who do you think is the greater threat?"
"Those Mexicans won't take your jobs? What's so scary about the Chinese workers? I can recognize them at a glance, but I can't tell the Mexicans at a glance, but they still steal your job opportunities without knowing it.
, they are all right next to Mexico, why don’t you Californians have any vigilance at all? Huh?”
"This?" The worker representative was stunned. This was different from the negotiation he had imagined. It seemed that the young boss was still standing on his own perspective on certain matters, but from a more grand perspective.
"What is this? You can't even see the border. The blood and sacrifice of many outstanding soldiers of the United States, and then let people steal their hometown, this has become a joke." Sheffield impatiently accused, including the California Workers' Party
A group of people with short-sightedness said, "Will you be happy if you fire all the Chinese workers and replace them with Mexicans? But you still have no jobs. If you could tell me how many illegal Mexican immigrants there are in California now, next time
I will discuss this issue with you. I am very busy now, do you know where the door is? Please help me!"
In this confrontation between capitalists and workers' representatives, Sheffield won a complete victory with the strong attitude of the old slave owners and the new capitalists, but he knew that this was just the beginning, and it would take a lot of effort to conquer these Californians.
Evelin witnessed the second half of this confrontation. The ugly capitalists defeated the workers' representatives throughout the whole process and achieved a complete victory. The loser was ashamed of the fact that he was so strong despite his young age.
"What are you looking at? I have flowers on my face?" Sheffield, holding the telegram in his hand, suddenly looked up at Evelin's beautiful face and said smugly, "I can see that you have been deeply attracted to me, even though I first
It makes you embarrassed to open your mouth, and you will definitely not admit this fact, but that is the way it is, and your heart will not lie to you."
"Why did the boss talk like that!" Evelin's neck instantly turned red, and it quickly spread to her face, and she said embarrassedly, "Although I was hired by you, I didn't think much about it."
"Only you know if you think too much about it!" Sheffield said narcissistically, "There is nothing we can do about it. When I was in college, girls always confessed to me."
"Going to college?" Evelin looked at Sheffield carefully, and it didn't look like she was lying!
Of course I'm not lying. Is it possible for ordinary people to get into the girls' school in Austin? It's easy to get into Sheffield. He and a boy often appear in a girls' school, so they can naturally gain a lot of favor.
No wonder his words were so reasonable, even eloquent adults couldn't speak to him! A flash of envy flashed in Evelin's eyes. The other person had gone to college even younger than her, but she hadn't.
"You should pay more attention to the recruitment at the University of California, Los Angeles. However, I only want women for secretarial work. Men are not suitable for this job. After the recruitment comes back, I will personally investigate. If there are not enough people, I will also say it on the telegram at home. Austin
Chapter completed!
