Chapter 908: Learning
Moore's reason is quite good. After all, for Moore, if the price of Guxing was stable, the workers would not make trouble. Workers don't have enough to eat, not because their wages are less, but because prices are rising too fast. The envoy wants to come to Guxing, and Moore can't wait for it.
After all, the envoy is in Guxing, and if there is a workers' strike, it is Guxing who will lose face, not his electric light company. When He asked him to talk, Moore seemed reasonable.
If the provincial government must let him pay the money, Moore agreed. However, in the future, the electricity and water bills of the electric light company will increase by 20%. This condition is also unacceptable to the government. Electricity and water, which are needed every day. Don't say two percent, even if it is half a percent, after a year, the increase is an astronomical amount.
Moore took full advantage of his Britishness, and with this connection, he could stand up to the provincial government. The Chinese government has always been fully respectful of foreigners. Moore's approach surprised Zhu Muyun. It can be said that he learned another trick from Moore.
Because of the strike of the electric light company, Zhu Muyun could no longer stay at the Deming Hotel, so he went straight to the electric light company at No. 22 Cooperation Road. At this time, the electric light company has also been without power. I have to say that this is a great irony. Because of the power outage, it was a little dim inside.
"Director Zhu, you're here." When Zhang Guanglin saw Zhu Muyun, it was like seeing a savior. This thing finally happened, and it was very stressful for him.
"It's the same whether I come or not." Zhu Muyun said with a wry smile that originally, he thought that he could easily solve the strike problem.
However, after learning about Moore's negotiations with the provincial government, he realized that he was still far from becoming a successful businessman. The workers' strike seemed like a crisis, but the shrewd Moore found a solution. The government officials asked him to talk, which gave Moore a chance.
Perhaps, this workers' strike, Moore is still eager to do so. Moore, he believes, would prefer to raise the price of electricity. If you can raise the price, it is more important than anything else. Moore took advantage of this opportunity to add a great fortune. Turning bad things into good things, Moore has done it perfectly.
The main reason why Zhu Muyun came was to investigate the leader of the strike. Although he already knew that, in addition to Gao Gaoxiang, there were mainly Mo Qingfeng and Tan Jinfei. Even, Zhu Muyun has already gotten their files.
However, how to "discover" them and report them to the Political Security Bureau requires an appropriate time. Too early and it can be dangerous for them. Too late, and it will make others feel too incompetent. Although Zhu Muyun gives people the impression that he has always been incompetent. Sometimes, however, there are a few beautiful things to do.
Organized cooperation will not bring danger to comrades and will allow them to make meritorious contributions, so why not do it? Such opportunities are not always available. However, the timing of revealing their identities is important.
"You can't say that, the problem can only be solved if you come. Because, I heard the workers say that today's strike is just the beginning. Soon, other workers in the French Concession will also go on strike. Zhang Guanglin said that if the workers of the entire French Concession went on strike, he would not have so much pressure.
"This English boss of yours is a real businessman." Zhu Muyun said that if he had the opportunity, he would like to get to know Moore.
When he was at the Deming Hotel, he met Moore. Although Moore seems to have a good gentlemanly demeanor. However, in his bones, even the Japanese are not in his eyes, how can he care about the Chinese.
"Mr. Moore has always believed that the demands of the workers are unreasonable. For him, it's unfair. Because, the price rise in Guxing is not caused by us. Two years ago, workers were paid enough to support their family. But now, they can't even feed themselves. Zhang Guanglin said with a sigh.
"Why can other workers have enough to eat, but not your electric light company?" Zhu Muyun sneered and said that in the past, the wages of the workers in Guxing were indeed very high. In particular, workers in textile factories are paid frighteningly high salaries of more than 100 yuan a month.
But now, Dongmian Co., Ltd. controls all the textile factories in Guxing, and the income of textile workers is not even one-tenth of what it used to be. This kind of income is no longer enough for them to eat. It is said that the workers of the textile mill are also preparing for a strike. And there are tens of thousands of textile workers in the entire Guxing.
"Mo Mingyue, who I asked you to check last time, have you found it?" Zhu Muyun asked, he didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, it didn't matter who was right and who was wrong in this matter.
"The electric light company has no such person." Zhang Guanglin shook his head and said softly.
"So, there must be something wrong with this person." Zhu Muyun muttered that Mo Ming's real name is Mo Qingfeng, who is the leader of this strike.
"Could he be the head?" Zhang Guanglin asked.
"Quite possibly." Zhu Muyun nodded.
Zhu Muyun stayed in the Deming Hotel for a few days, and except for a phone call with Yu Xinyu every day, the two did not see each other for a few days. The phenomenon of "diligent administration" created by Zhu Muyun was witnessed by Li Bangfan. Every morning, Li Bangfan would come to the Deming Hotel. At that time, Zhu Muyun must have been inspecting the work of the Second Division.
Except for the first day, Li Bangfan stayed at the Deming Hotel. The rest of the time, he was at the Zhennan Hardware Factory during the day. In the electric light company, after discovering "important clues", Zhu Muyun quickly reported to Li Bangfan.
On the way, Zhu Muyun saw the mark left by the military commander's death mailbox, and after he took the information, he looked at it in the car. Deng Xiangtao told him that the five-member railway sabotage team would arrive in Guxing tomorrow and asked him to pay attention to cooperation.
"Bureau, the strike of the electric light company, in addition to Gao Gao Xiang, there is also a person named Mo Mingyue." Zhu Muyun reported his latest discovery.
"These underground parties gather crowds to make trouble, lest the world will not be chaotic, not only to arrest, but also to kill!" Li Bangfan's tone was particularly harsh, and the strike of the electric light company made him very annoyed.
The Political Security Bureau had been informed in advance, but in the end, it was unable to stop the workers from going on strike. And today, Moore is proposing that the workers' demands be met by the provincial government. This is too much, and if it weren't for Moore's identity, he would have been arrested and imprisoned.
"Catch it today?" Zhu Muyun was startled and asked. If they were to be arrested today, the underground party would be completely unprepared.
"Not today, but their whereabouts must be kept track at all times." Li Bangfan shook his head and admonished.
"Yes." Zhu Muyun said firmly, it is one thing to grasp the whereabouts, and it is another thing to catch them or not.
"You have worked hard during this time, the safety of the Deming Hotel, the envoy is still very satisfied." Li Bangfan said that almost all of Zhu Muyun's manpower was placed outside the Deming Hotel.
And Zhu Muyun also stayed at the Deming Hotel. It is extremely rare for Zhu Muyun to be able to do this. Even Li Bangfan only slept in the Deming Hotel for one night, and he didn't stay there the next day.
When Yang Huaiyi gets up in the morning, he likes to walk around. At this time, it was the people from the second department who were on duty on the periphery. Of course, at that time, Zhu Muyun would also be there. He and Yang Huaiyi have met a few times, but they have only met, and the two have not talked, let alone understand each other.
"My mission is to keep the envoy safe. Yang Zhi reported today that the military commander asked him to inquire about our defense. Zhu Muyun said again.
The information given to Yang Zhi by the military commander, regardless of whether Yang Zhi completed it or not, could deduce the intention of the military commander. Of course, Zhu Muyun is only responsible for providing this information, and the specific analysis and inference are done by Li Bangfan.
"It seems that the military commander is ready to act." Li Bangfan muttered. The military commander kept asking Yang Huaiyi to inquire about the news, indicating that the military commander was ready to start the operation.
"I have asked everyone to be vigilant, and I will never let the military command succeed." Zhu Muyun swore and said.
"Well, you go back first. The envoy is in Guxing, there are still a few days, and when he is gone, he will have a good rest. Li Bangfan said.
Since the military commanders wanted to act, Li Bangfan naturally would not let them succeed. He immediately called Zheng Siyuan and told him the information about the general's actions. The underground party has successfully launched a strike, and if the military commanders are allowed to succeed again, the people in the Political Security Bureau will simply fire particle bombs and all of them will commit suicide.
"Bureau, this is the information provided by Zhu Muyun, right?" Zheng Siyuan asked. When he came just now, he saw Zhu Muyun driving away.
"Yes." Li Bangfan nodded, he generally wouldn't hide Zheng Siyuan's affairs from the Political Security Bureau.
"I don't think this information can be trusted. No other channels sent back the news, and he Zhu Muyun mastered it. This guy won't fake information for the sake of performance, right? Zheng Siyuan said.
Recently, Zhu Muyun's limelight has indeed been a bit big. Killed Song San and discovered the underground party. Now, again, there is information about the military command. Who is Zhu Muyun? All the people in the entire Political Security Bureau combined, are not as good as him?
As for killing Song San, it can only be said that Zhu Muyun has a good life. He carefully combed through the case of Jiutou Mountain and found no suspicious points. The only thing that made him a little suspicious was the nameless noodle restaurant on Taikoo Street. The woman who was eating noodles said that her husband was on an errand in the French Concession.
He didn't pay attention at the time, but afterwards, when he remembered it, he was going to investigate again. Zheng Siyuan has no expectations for the nameless noodle restaurant. He just asked one of his subordinates to pay attention to the nameless noodle restaurant these days. He is also a person who admits reason in doing things, and he will not let go of any suspicions, as long as he discovers them.
"This information has not been confirmed, but the military commander has given the order to probe our defenses. According to my analysis, the military command will be able to act in the near future. Li Bangfan said.
"Okay, I'll send someone to set it up." Zheng Siyuan said. Since it was not analyzed by Zhu Muyun, he would naturally execute it.
If Zhu Muyun provided the information, I am afraid that he would be suspicious.
