Chapter 214: Also understand Chinese

"It hurts!" Evelyn covered her hips and looked at Sheffield pitifully. The latter withdrew his hand and pretended to be angrily. "How can I talk to the boss, I am the one who pays you. You should be clear about this relationship."
"I'm the one who sleeps with you!" Evelyn whispered in a whisper, and she felt a loss in my heart.
"Aunt Daisy has stepped down as warden. Although she manages a women's prison, her ability is the most powerful among the three wardens. Now Guantanamo Prison is being established, but it is still more important in Manila." Xie Field put away the frivolous look, "I heard that Manila ’s prison is enough to contain 10,000 people, so it ’s fine, no need for expansion. I estimate that the limit of carrying can hold 40,000 prisoners, but considering the next military action, One prison is not enough. To suppress the Philippine Resistance, there will definitely be countless people being locked in, so the current idea is to build another one. "
In the management of prisons, Sheffield can be said to have achieved the ultimate cost savings, if you can deal with it, you can deal with it. If he can't deal with it, he wants to build a new one. If possible, he wants to try the prisons established by the Spanish.
Walking through the Manila prison, Sheffield seemed to come to the back garden of his home, put his handkerchief to his nose and entered the cell, and put forward a series of suggestions for improvement. "Considering space saving, the ground floor should be eliminated and the prisoner should be given a photo The bed must not be omitted. The space occupied by all lying on the ground is too large, which is not conducive to the use of space. This height can be effectively used! "
Sheffield held out her hand to measure it and then gestured, "The Filipinos are relatively short, so that they are separated by 18 inches. I think this cell can be changed to four floors. The prisoners on the top floor may suffer a bit. This is OK. Overcome, who is the good person who comes in here? This comes in only when the sin deserves it. "
"Prison management order is the most important. If the prisoner is disobedient, everything is false. So take this set of rules!" Sheffield took out the rules from the private prison in Texas. He pinched his waist and said straightforwardly, "No one in this world is fearless, and most people are afraid of death, so they must be rigorous in treating prisoners and must not have the slightest sympathy, especially for these Philippine natives, opposing the occupation of the US military is Against civilization, you are all welcome. "
"At present, all the prison management in Spain is retained, and the Chinese workers who have signed the contract with us are notified to reform the prison!" Sheffield commanded, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, "I will be here today, I have other things in the afternoon. Itinerary, just during this time there are few prisoners, start immediately. "
Perhaps it was because of the urgency of the obvious destiny that Sheffield lived up to Hawaii because he understood that the federal government may make a very difficult decision similar to Hawaii at any time.
After meeting with the military and the former Spanish colonists, he counted the basic conditions of Manila like his own assets. A rough idea has appeared in Sheffield's mind. It takes manpower to realize the idea. After arriving in Manila for half a month, he felt it was time to meet with the Chinese leaders.
The Chinese workers hired by the United Company are currently gathered in the northern suburbs. These Chinese workers were lured by high wages. Sheffield did not do it very well and fooled them with a Yin-Yang contract. But he didn't think he was doing something wrong. Cost savings were necessary. Although the salary fell to eight dollars a month, this was also a big expense.
This is Sheffield, and if he is replaced by another person, the Chinese worker cannot get even this salary. If you know that the Irish newspapers are staring at the United Company, it is almost a big crime for the United Company.
Since the Irish were mentioned, Sheffield didn't know it until he arrived in the Philippines. The founder of the Philippines, Rizal, who was shot by the Spanish two years ago, married an Irish girl at the execution ground, and moved many Filipinos who instigated resistance.
What about this matter? Irish people are also excluded by citizens of the United States. Because the ratio of men and women of Chinese workers has reached a terrible level, many years ago, Chinese people wanted to find a partner. Only Irish women agreed. Perhaps this is why the Irish in the United States are the most hostile to the Chinese.
Among the Filipino Chinese, one of the ten ancestors from Fujian, Fujian, and Quanzhou is the most popular among them. Among all Chinese Filipinos, no matter whether they are Philippine or not, more than 8% and 90% are of Minnan origin. The remaining about 10% are mostly from Guangdong, and few from other provinces. Hokkien is a common language in the Filipino community.
The Chinese community is mainly near Manila. This is where Sheffield of the province is looking out. The only obstacle is that Sheffield does n’t understand the Hokkien dialect. If she can sing the song "Shrimp", she can understand it.
This is a bit of a face for someone who prides himself on why he understands. He can only find Chinese who can speak Mandarin as an intermediary to communicate with these Fujianese.
If it was not for the Chinese in California to communicate in advance, Sheffield took the Alamo company to visit, enough to make these Chinese people feel terrified, and beyond their expectations, Sheffield did not take a condescending attitude. Even Sheffield went to the Chinese cemetery to see the history of Chinese in the Philippines.
"Six years of Emperor Ming Chongzhen and seventeen years of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty!" Some words on the tombstones can also be recognized, which records the history of migration, and those who can leave the tombstones are families with some assets and more people. It is impossible to leave a tombstone.
The emigration of the Chinese continues, because Sheffield saw two people with braids, indicating that some people have not been in the Philippines for a long time. They should have arrived in the Philippines in recent years.
"Boss!" Gu Cheng whispered, pointing to the waiting local Chinese in the Philippines. He is currently the leader of the Chinese workers shipped from the United Company. She naturally knew that Sheffield would speak Mandarin.
"Then the cemetery is not suitable. Find a place that can be seen through." Sheffield nodded and completed the investigation. At present, the Philippines still has a large population of Chinese people, enough for 400,000. I have n’t seen whether it is the Chinese population, and no one knows how many.
As he walked, he asked, "Are many workers dissatisfied with the decline in treatment? The riots should not dare, but nobody wants to decline in treatment."
"Huh? Boss, it's easy to hide from others, but you can't hide it, you know us!" Gu Cheng, who followed, smiled bitterly, "How can there be no dissatisfaction, the salary has been reduced so many."
"Look long-term. Some things are not reflected in wages. You have to know that in the United States, the status of Chinese workers is fixed. It is impossible to buy any piece of land, but the Philippines can. And the United States has a strong mainstream culture, no matter what you do Everything must be crushed. The Philippines is more original and more suitable for your self-reliance. "Sheffield did not deny that the wage cuts tricked the Chinese workers. This thing is done by myself," I am a person who pursues interests. , As long as you can make the joint company grow and grow, you will never lose your money. "
Otherwise, what is Sheffield doing for the Pacific Ocean? To benefit the Filipino people? He came here specifically to scrape the ground. Fortunately, this is a place with a population of 7 million to 800,000 square kilometers and a population of nearly 10 million. If the joint company can dominate here, this is a huge driving force for expansion.
Without this motivation, where does Sheffield think about where the U.S. military is going? Really thought he was so patriotic?
Who can make the United Company the controller of the Philippines, who is a friend of Sheffield, how fast and easy to save, how fast and fast to devour the Philippines, how low and how low the cost, this is his pure businessman the goal of.
Gu Cheng brought Sheffield to a place that could be regarded as a manor and introduced, "The owner here is Hong, whose name is Hong Shijun, and he has been in the Philippines for 200 years."
"Oh? Under Wuwumen, talents come out in abundance?" Sheffield smiled and chuckled. Gu Cheng secretly swallowed. He hadn't seen it before, but he heard it from Zhang Deqing. At the time, the United Company had heard such a sentence after hearing that the Chinese community had blackmailed the wages of Chinese workers.
Later, those societies in the name of protecting the Chinese disappeared. This thing was done by Sheffield. The gangsters are just gangsters, always under the guise of protecting the interests of the Chinese, a little stinky and shameless. When tidying up the Chinese gang, it was a complete mess, which disappointed his boss. Until the end, he didn't see how the protected the Chinese.
"My employee is the salary I paid, which is very normal, but no one can the salary I paid. An employee cannot have two bosses!" She felt that Gu Cheng was suddenly silenced, and Sheffield knew where the problem was. , Must have been scared.
Entering the residence of the local Chinese leader, Sheffield officially started the strategy of getting local Chinese. Before that, he had already settled the US military and the former colonists of Spain, and now he lacks a construction force.
The geological environment in the Philippines is not lacking in minerals, but Sheffield does n’t know where, but he is going to hire an exploration team to find it, but the situation is not clear now. This requires the armed forces to protect the exploration team. If it is found, it needs to build a railway transportation. When it comes out, the construction of railways also requires labor. Many industries are related. This is why many single-industry giants have begun to penetrate into related industries after they have achieved a dominant position.
"I am only pursuing interests. As long as my goal is completed, what the Chinese want to do is your freedom." Sheffield set out his own conditions and also reminded, "For local natives, we in the United States People are colonizers, and you are also outsiders. If you understand this, everything can be discussed. The cooperation between the two parties can be a symbiotic relationship. "
