Red Dead Redemption Dawn Chapter 184

A day passed in a flash, and John, who had rested all day, came to the pier in Blackwater Town at 8:00 in the morning to prepare for Saint Denis.

Disembarked on time at 4pm after enjoying the morning wind.

Stepping into the city again, John didn't have much emotion.

He stopped the groom and went straight to the address Zheng Guotian told him.

in the poverty-stricken areas of the east.

Most of the people here are people who wear some patches, and this is one of the poorest districts in Saint Denis.

Most of the Chinese also live here, and the area where the Agni Gang is located is adjacent to this place.

The driver naturally knew that there was a Qing Dynasty Chamber of Commerce here.

The location is in the heart of the district.

"Sir, this is it." The groom took John to a shop.

After delivering the money for the carriage, John glanced at the door.

On it are written the three characters 'Tongxianghui' in Chinese characters.

John picked up his hat, shook it casually and walked in.

"Sir, I'm a staff member here, Li Jianguo. How can I help you?" The man who asked the question was a man of Han nationality with decent features, probably in his twenties.

"Where's your person in charge?" John said after looking at him twice.

"Sir, please come and sit inside first." Li Jianguo saw that John was dressed well and had a good temperament, so he did not neglect to invite John to sit inside.

Follow him into the store.

"Sir, please take a seat. I'm going to invite the person in charge to come out." Zhang Jianguo served coffee and walked back.

Before John could drink his coffee, he saw a forty-year-old Han man walking in front of Zhang Jianguo.

"Hello, I'm the person in charge here, Xu Wenbin. I still don't know what to call Mr. Sir." Xu Wenbin was of medium stature, looking in his forties, with sharp eyes and a good mental state.

"John Wick." John stood up and shook his hand.

"Mr. Wick, you are very welcome to come here. Excuse me, sir, what is the purpose of coming here this time?" Xu Wenbin asked cautiously.

"Mr. Xu Wenbin, I have a construction project this time that needs to recruit a group of Qing people to work for me." John didn't think about detours.

"Oh~" Xu Wenbin was very happy to introduce to John when he heard the business coming, "Mr. Wick, we are one of the workers' agencies that best serve the entire federal construction. We take on any job, as long as the price is right, we can do it. Next."

"This time, I want to convene a hundred strong Han people to help me complete a project. The time span is very large, and it will take about half a year." John briefly explained his request.

"One hundred able-bodied adults?" Xu Wenbin knew that it was a big business as soon as he heard the number, which made Xu Wenbin happy. In the past year or so, the number of jobs that he can undertake has become less and less, and the income has gradually become lower, and here There is no sign of any reduction in the protection fee that the government agencies have to eat.

As a result, the entire Association has not had enough funds to maintain normal operations recently.

"Yes, a hundred. If it's suitable, I will ask for more to hold some important positions for a long time." The Han people's requirements are very low, because they know that the environment here is not friendly to them, so I can give them a stable job. Work and a stable source of food and accommodation, wages are a small problem, and they will not make any drastic reactions to some harsh requirements.

To sum up: work hard, do the most things, and get the least wages.

From the perspective of the boss, that is, the capitalist, the Han people are really easy to use. Therefore, the most fierce opposition to the Chinese Exclusion Act was not the Han people themselves, but the capitalists.

"Yes, yes, we have all kinds of talents, carpenters, artisans, cementers, cooks, and porters, coolies, we have all kinds of talents. We have all kinds of talents here. As long as Wick We will find the most suitable person and type of worker for you, sir." Xu Wenbin said happily.

"I just don't know where Mr. Wick needs to start construction this time, and what the specific work is. I can select the most suitable workers for Mr. Xu Wenbin." Xu Wenbin asked.

"The specific location is in Heishui Town. I want to develop a canal on my land and build some buildings. Of course, there will be at least 70 young people among them, and they will be responsible for digging the canal and transporting wood. Of course, Among the remaining people, there must be at least ten cooks, ten carpenters, ten cement workers, and ten accountants who can read (literally speaking, they know English)." John explained briefly, but he didn't have so many requirements. , but a thought suddenly flashed through John's mind, and some more people were added.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Wick, I will definitely fulfill your request. But it will take some time. Is it convenient for Mr. Wick to leave an address?" Xu Wenbin was very happy. It's really big engineering, big business.

"How long will it take you to gather these people?" John asked rhetorically.

"Well, probably, it will take about a whole day. It is expected that we will be able to gather for Heishui Town the next morning. After all, there are a lot of people, and we have to report to the government agencies here. Otherwise, gathering so many people at once will cause the government's dissatisfaction. , I hope Mr. can understand." Xu Wenbin explained patiently.

"Well, then I'll stay here for two days, and then I'll follow them to Blackwater Town," John said.

"That's great, sir, do you have a place to live? We can arrange it for you." Xu Wenbin asked cautiously.

"Well, not yet, you can arrange it." John nodded and did not reject his kindness.

"Mr. Wick, we have a rule that a contract needs to be signed for the number of people to convene." Xu Wenbin said cautiously.

"Well, yes, you can write. The working period is at least half a year, and it is very likely to be a whole year." John nodded, in fact, this is not the rule, it is the same everywhere.

"Okay, sir, I'll prepare the contract now. Please wait a moment, sir. It'll be ready soon." Xu Wenbin immediately turned to the people around him and asked them to prepare the contract. After making his request, John turned around and asked, "I have a friend who told me that I can find him here. Can you tell him where he lives?"

"Really, what's the name of your friend, Mr. Wick? If he is in this area, then I will definitely help you find him." Xu Wenbin vowed.

"His name is Zheng Guotian." John said without thinking.

"Zheng Guotian? Is he from us?!!" Xu Wenbin was a little surprised.

In his perception, John was a landowner and a rich man who owned a large area of ​​land. His friends were the sheriff of the district or a rich man of the same level. How could he be friends with their people? And also someone he hadn't heard of.

"Yes, also from the Qing Dynasty, can you find him?"

"Yes, naturally, sir, don't worry." Xu Wenbin became more confident after knowing that it was his own family.

This was at John's request and the contract was printed.

John took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. There was basically no problem, but the number of people was cut off by one-third.

The reason for the one-third that was cut off was that the third had been recruited by John in Blackwater.

Xu Wenbin saw that John stayed on those few lines of text, so he took the initiative to explain, "Sir, rest assured~www.mtlnovel.com~ The number of people can definitely meet the requirements of Mr., because the law requires that even the most heavy work is required. At least one-third white. If we don't drop the numbers, the government here may fine us."

"It's okay, I understand. If there is any dissatisfaction with the government agencies here, you can come to me. I can handle it for you." John said generously.

Xu Wenbin was very happy with John's understanding. After the two sides signed the contract, John paid a deposit of five hundred dollars on the spot.

And he didn't take it to a nearby pub to rest.

John was taken to the most luxurious room on the top floor of the hotel.

"Mr Wake, we'll bring your friend directly to you shortly. Is there anything else you need help with, sir?"

"It's almost time, let your people prepare a table of meals. Hmm~ I want Chinese food, Dongpo pork, and Gong Bao chicken, as well as some Guangzhou specialties. In addition to what I said, I'm getting a five-course meal. One soup. Rice for five people." John looked at the time and it was half past five, and it was time to eat when it was done.

The man was stunned for a long time when he heard John's request, but after Xu Wenbin's order, he quickly responded and nodded, "Okay, sir, I'll go and prepare it for you."

"Well, let's go."

Then he gave John the room key and left.

John pushed the door and went in, the style was very orthodox British decoration.

But it is indeed quite luxurious, and the room is also very large, about more than 30 square meters, with a small living room of 20 square meters.

There were also some good brandies in the room.

John lay on the sofa and closed his eyes.
