Xiao Shenglin brought a lot of things and even paid the hospital's medical fees. He was very friendly and won a good reputation for himself.
In the afternoon, Xiao Shenglin, on behalf of the Shandong Province government, paid for the funerals of the dead workers. The funerals would be held the next day.
It didn't matter how much money was given to the workers 'families. The most important thing was that he had the intention. Xiao Shenglin expressed that he was different from Zhang Zongchang. He would definitely come up with a result that would satisfy everyone.
At night, Xiao Shenglin realized that Liang Tongrong had not returned, but he did not care. This girl was very wild. She probably went to a restaurant and inn to stay.
The next day, the president of the union, Pan Shaoqi, brought some other people in charge of the union to find Xiao Shenglin early in the morning.
"Xiao Shao Shuai, sorry for making you lose money. Our union doesn't have any money on hand to deal with the plight of our workers.”Pan Shaoqi didn't look like someone from a poor family because he was dressed in a suit.
"Don't say that. We're all Chinese. The Japanese must have lost the battle and vented their anger on you.”Xiao Shenglin invited them to sit down. The orderly made tea for them and served them some snacks.
"Besides, things that can be solved with money aren't problems.”Xiao Shenglin expressed that he was not short of money.
Pan Shaoqi sighed. The Xiao siblings were better than Zhang Zongchang. A few years ago, there was a strike in Qing Dao. Zhang Zongchang was a killer. Unlike the Xiao siblings, he was a traitorous warlord.
"Young Marshal, the Japanese have already begun to ask us to resume work. Now that we have your support, we have more confidence.”Pan Shaoqi pushed up his glasses. If there was no one behind him, then the situation of the union would be even more difficult.
"Yes, it's fine. My sister and I are everyone's backers. We definitely won't compromise with the Japanese. I'm telling everyone that I want to take back Qing Dao and get all the Japanese out of our city.”Xiao Shenglin shouted passionately.
"Alright, even if I, Pan Shaoqi, have to give up my life, I'll help the young marshal take back Qing Dao.”Pan Shaoqi was born and raised in Qingdaoan. He hated the Japanese for what they did in this land.
"You're being too serious. There's no need for everyone to risk their lives. War is the duty of a soldier.”Xiao Shenglin started to change the topic and asked about other people's family situations.
Pan Shaoqi came from a comprador family. He was 31 years old this year and had two children. He was proficient in Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese, French, and German. He graduated from Harvard University with a high IQ.
Talent! Xiao Shenglin's eyes lit up. This person was simply a gift from the heavens.
The rest of the people were also from merchant families. Most of them had small fortunes, but it was difficult for them to do business in Qing Dao because Japanese companies and factories were rampant here.
Xiao Shenglin had always wanted to open his own bank, but his sister didn't know anything about it. She knew how to wield knives and guns. It would be difficult for her to do those things.
Xiao Shenglin could do it himself, but he still had to go to the United States to get money.
"Big Brother Pan, immediately contact the people from the Chamber of Commerce. Then, we'll do this." Xiao Shenglin had tripped up the Japanese. They had cut off water and electricity, as well as food. He did not believe that they would not leave.
The funeral procession began to set off, and the cries continued. In order to act, Xiao Shenglin also went all out. He invited countless reporters, put on white clothes, and then let the soldiers carry the coffin.
The effect of this was very good. His younger brother, the Military Governor, had also stepped onto the stage of history. He was even more eye-catching than when he had blown up Zhang Zongchang.
Xiao Shengnan, who was far away in Jinan City, saw the headline of the newspaper. Xiao Shenglin, who was dressed in white, raised his right fist and shouted," We will never yield. The Chinese will never be slaves."”
All major cities began to denounce the Japanese. The sales of newspapers were hot. Xiao Shenglin was regarded as a new idol by some high school and university students because of his young age.
The massive strike movement began to support the workers in Tsingtao. Countless Japanese shops were smashed and robbed.
This was no longer just Shandong Province. It had already spread to the entire country. There was also the momentum of anti-imperialist and anti-colonial. A vast fire had started.
The Japanese had suffered heavy losses. They had never expected things to be so serious and that it would affect the interests of other countries.
For example, in Hong Kong, the strike had almost paralyzed the city's functions, and countless goods were left unmoved.
Only Chang Kaishen was cursing. He had just achieved unification on the road, and someone was already making things difficult for him. The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, and Italy all asked him to suppress them as soon as possible so that the workers could return to work as soon as possible to ensure their interests.
Especially the Japanese, they suffered the greatest losses.
"This Xiao Shenglin is a calf. I'm so angry.”Chang Kaishen looked at the newspaper and cursed. He was happy, but the person who wiped his butt was in big trouble.
"Chairman, in fact, we only need to guarantee the interests of other countries, except for the Japanese. Then, we will push all the problems to the Xiao siblings. If Xiao Shengnan doesn't handle it well, we can dismiss her.”Yang Yongtai made another move for Chang Kaishen, which was a good excuse to take Xiao Shengnan's position as the Shandong chairman.
Xiao Shenglin, who was scolded by Chang Kaishen, was negotiating with the Japanese. His performance was still very angry with the Japanese, as if he was not the weak one, but the Japanese.
"Baka, the Great Japan Empire will never accept such an outcome. If you don't have the ability to suppress them, we can send the Marine Corps to land.”Little Ji Pingzhe shouted in Japanese, as if he wanted to swallow Xiao Shenglin alive.
Xiao Shenglin also knew Japanese. He had spent 100 points to learn Japanese. Otherwise, he would have known that the other party was scolding him in Japanese.
"Mr. Xiao Ji, why are you in such a hurry? We can talk slowly. I heard that your Japanese geisha are not bad.”Xiao Shenglin put on a fake smile and kept looking for excuses to delay. Now, the tens of thousands of Japanese immigrants in Qing Dao were in a situation where they were cut off from water and food.
Little Ji and Pingzhe were furious. If this dragged on, they would starve to death.
If it wasn't for the fact that the cannons were facing the sea, he would have asked the garrison to fire at the city and kill those Chinese people.
The military port had always been occupied by the Japanese, but the urban area was not. It was somewhat autonomous, but a lot of power was in the hands of the Japanese.
"Xiao Sang, you have to know that those who oppose the Great Japan Empire will not have a good ending.”Little Ji Pingzhe began to threaten, his tone sinister.
"Hahaha, working with you guys didn't end well. For example, Zhang Zongchang and I were also assassinated in Xi'an.”Xiao Shenglin was playing with the jade ring in his hand. Was he threatening her? It was useless.
