Zhang Shun quickly arranged things according to Bai Lang's arrangement. And in the process, he also had a taste for it.
I remembered what the obvious look of contempt on Bai Lang's face meant when he heard the word "war". That's a huge cognitive difference.
In Zhang Shun's previous understanding, he felt that "going to war" meant fighting over something. In Bailang's view, "starting a war" means fighting to the death.
On the other hand, it is also a matter of cognition.
Even though Zhang Shun knew that he would be clumsy when dealing with this kind of trouble that was not "normal", he didn't feel like he was doing anything wrong. At best, it can be regarded as "not knowing how to adapt".
But now Zhang Shun found himself seeing a new "business" that was different from the business experience he had formed over the previous ten years.
That afternoon, all cargo ships docked at the new wharf were informed that workers on board the ship were not allowed to be used for loading and unloading, and workers on the wharf had to do this. The few workers who were missing at the dock were taken care of by Zhang Shun on his way back. People who do hard work are easy to find. As long as you ignore the rules set by yourself within the horse racing industry, you can recruit people at will.
Faced with this regulation, there are naturally some ship owners who refuse to comply. Some of them do not want to give up the benefits they have obtained, while others want to suppress Zhang Shun at the dock. Now the news that someone here at the dock wants to beat Zhang Shun has already spread.
But as soon as the dispute started, it was extinguished by Wang Si who suddenly arrived.
What? unreasonable? Slap a few big mouths and slap them down, knocking out your back molars. Why don't you try yelling a few more words?
Which company is in charge of you? When you arrive at Changshui New Terminal, you have to use the labor and stevedores here. The price is also the market price, and I don't want to rip you off. If you really want to confront me, I will hand you a knife.
"."
Faced with Wang Si's domineering and fierceness, no one on the dock dared to say "no" again. Even if the ship owner still had ideas in mind, the stevedores who came with the ship no longer dared to move. They were just doing hard work. The people in the knife shop told them not to move and they had to be careful even when breathing. They didn't dare to touch the cargo on the ship for fear of being chopped off with a knife.
"From now on, I will arrange for two brothers to be permanently stationed here. If anyone is not discerning, or is deliberately looking for trouble, just let them deal with it." Wang Si gave Zhang Shun some reassurance before leaving. And he looked relaxed and didn't think there was any trouble in this matter.
People from the knife shop come and go in just one meal. But he directly eliminated what Zhang Shun thought was a big trouble.
Simple and crude!
"Is this the way the knife shop does business?" Zhang Shun thought in his mind. He used to think that there were only two ways to do business. One was his self-proclaimed righteous way, which was about following rules and principles. One is the method of his great enemy Hu Xia, who seems to be on the right path but likes to secretly stumble and attack his opponent's vital points with dirty tricks, and then crush his opponent in a seemingly "honest" way.
Now Zhang Shun has seen the third type: I don't care what tricks you use, it's me who has the final say on my territory. If you have any objections, then draw your sword. If you can do it better than me, then you can take it all away. If you can't do it, then you can take it all away. Just squat down for me.
If I don't play tricks with you or play tricks with you, I will compare myself to whoever is stronger. The complex and ever-changing business experience instantly turned into the killing path of the knife studio.
Zhang Shun also followed Mingwu. No wonder Bailang was so dissatisfied with his performance before, and here is the result! Because from the point of view of the knife studio, Hengshun Chemaxing's provocation was simply child's play, and there was no need to waste confidence at all, just slap him in the face.
And what Bailang received was not just the slap from the dock, but also the one behind him!
Of course, only the owners of Hengshun Car and Horse Racing can fully understand the feelings after being slapped.
"What?! You said that the people from the knife shop directly beat up the stevedores on our ship, and said that only their people can be used at the dock?" Hu Xia's face was full of surprise. He didn't expect that Bai Lang would dare to directly ask the people from the knife studio to do it. He also realized that his previous judgment might not be correct.
"Yes, sir. Now those boat gang members also have some opinions. Do you think those people will start a riot directly?"
"It's impossible. The nature of the people in the boat gang is the same as that of our carriage gang. They rely on the trust of their employers. The news coming out of the industrial park these days seems to be a big move made by the city lord's government, and the benefits are huge. At present, The ship gangs are hired by several big companies in the iron and steel industry. To the ship gangs, they are the basic necessities and food. How could they leave their basic necessities and make trouble against the white waves just for the mere advantage we give them? What are you thinking? ?”
Zhao Xun responded quickly.
The two of them had just exchanged a few words when another news was hurriedly delivered outside the study: a total of nine coachmen from the Carriage and Horse Shop were beaten by streetwalkers from the Tang Knife Hall in front of their homes. He also left a message saying that if he dared to work at Hengshun Carriage and Horse Racing Co., Ltd., he would be beaten.
"Bai Lang! What is he going to do?!" Hu Xia suddenly stood up from the chair. He knew very well that Bailang was returning the method he had used before. But the effect is completely different.
Because compared to the size of Changshui New Terminal, a few less stevedores won’t hurt your muscles at all. As long as you don’t care about the internal regulations of the horse and carriage shop, Lifu can be found anywhere on the street.
But the driver is different! It's not like you'll find it just by looking for it.
Being a cart driver is a technical job. No one can drive an ox cart, a horse carriage or even a donkey cart. In addition, the size of Hengshun Carriage and Horse Racing is much larger than that of Changshui New Wharf. The pressure endured is even more extraordinary.
What's more, if I beat you nine drivers today, I can beat you nine more tomorrow, and the same thing the day after tomorrow! You must know that there are quite a few coachmen and valets living in the Dongcheng area of Hengshun Carriage Company. Is it really worth it if they all get beaten up? !
Moreover, Hu Xia was sure that just beating people up was not enough. He might even poach people from inside if things went wrong! This would be a big, embarrassing and embarrassing trouble for Hengshun Car and Horse Racing! Because we can’t just stop hiring rickshaw drivers who live in Dongcheng in the future, right? Or should we move all our coachmen to the West City? This is not what Hengshun Car and Horse Racing can afford.
"Master, why don't you give Luo Yamen a message?" Zhao Xun also knew that this matter must be treated with caution, otherwise big problems will occur. Therefore, I think we should directly ask Russell Chen, the head of the Yamen in Yongchuan City, to help suppress the knife shop. After all, in official circles, almost everyone subconsciously felt that the Yamen was superior to the Swordsman's Hall.
However, Hu Xia shook his head and thought for a while before saying: "You should prepare a generous gift immediately. I will go to Mr. Zhou's house now."
"Master Zhou? But it's late at night now."
"I can't worry about so much anymore. This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles!" Hu Xia said while waving his hands to the housekeeper to do as he said. A trace of regret suddenly welled up in my heart. I regret that I was careless about the matter at the dock.
