Chapter 327 The Chinese Exclusion Act expires
Sheffield's lawyer's letter is still on the tables of many newspapers. Now that they think of it, the acquisition of Hearst Media can be a reminder to these newspapers that the matter is not over yet.
Hearst finally chose to turn around in a chic way, and Sheffield's robbery was the decisive factor. However, in the eyes of public opinion, Hearst was able to give up such a huge undertaking, and he was considered responsible for the assassination of the president. Many people are like this. Once
The person involved has really achieved satisfactory results, and it is not unforgivable to the public.
However, the Japanese who bow and apologize when there is nothing wrong, and then treat it as if nothing is wrong are outside this range. The slave owners who beat to death for not apologizing are also outside this range.
Now that he has arrived in San Francisco, Sheffield naturally wants to meet with the current president of the San Francisco Chinese Association to talk about future cooperation. In fact, there are not many Chinese in San Francisco anymore. Through two projects, he has dispersed the Chinese here.
I went out a lot. The president’s name is Ma De. It’s very easy to remember. It’s a good name.
When Sheffield entered the headquarters of the Chinese Union in San Francisco, he showed no signs of surprise and sat directly in the president's seat. This gesture was inevitably a bit embarrassing.
"According to your words, those who come here are guests, sit down!" Sheffield said in Mandarin with a smile, reminding the respected people here to be careful what they say. I understand Chinese.
"Boss William, it's very refreshing to come to our Chinese Workers' Federation when you have time." Ma De said politely with a smile. In fact, he was only in his thirties, and he had frequent contact with people in Sheffield before.
Unlike Zhang Deqing and Gu Cheng, Ma De came to San Francisco not long ago, only one year.
"What's the point? This is the land of the United States of America. Wherever I go, I always go to my home." Sheffield chuckled and continued, "To be honest, you may feel uncomfortable.
, but the fact is that I am the owner here, and you are the guests. If I want to, you have to leave. You don’t have to leave if you don’t want to, just work hard and make me feel your value."
"But your army is in our home, so how can we settle this account?" came a small complaint.
Sheffield's main organs were all healthy, so he naturally heard it and said fairly, "The troops of the United States are in your country. This is naturally a mistake. You are in San Francisco. It is also a mistake for the citizens of the United States. A mistake.
It’s just a mistake, there’s nothing to hide it from.”
Although this kind of vocabulary is a bit imperialistic, this is not an unreasonable world. Sheffield just wants to ensure that no trouble occurs wherever he can go. As for other countries, they can stand on their own feet.
"There is no need to discuss this issue. I know both Zhang Deqing and Gu Cheng. You Chinese people should understand my attitude. I do not exclude any group. There is no big threat to your group at the moment. The factory needs people and you need jobs.
, the salary is calculated according to 60% of that of citizens of the United States, and none of you have the same treatment as all our citizen workers. I hope we can continue to cooperate." Sheffield repeated the previous conditions eloquently, expressing that the two parties could still cooperate.
Don't even think about taking advantage of the slave owner. There are only two types of people in his eyes, those who can provide benefit value and those who cannot provide benefit value. Once a group is judged to be unable to provide benefit value, some coercive means must be used.
Currently, this group is working to exchange for the residence where they will work for the next few years, which is the prison reinforcement project.
The Chinese labor force in San Francisco is currently only ten thousand people. Sheffield has already chosen a good place. Puerto Rico’s Paradise Island project still requires a certain amount of labor. As before, it saves costs and exchanges the Chinese for an unrestricted space.
, escaping the Great West, which was shrouded in the Chinese Exclusion Act, was a good thing for both parties.
The contract has been handed over to Evelin's secretariat in Los Angeles to be drafted and completed, and it will be implemented immediately after signing.
The two parties have not cooperated once or twice. They are clear about the conditions they can provide. Moreover, compared with others, Sheffield only requires a penny for what you pay. As for these Chinese workers who still have potential, they can completely keep them to themselves.
.
At least on the surface, the cooperation between the two parties was very fair. On the last day in San Francisco, Sheffield signed employment contracts with these people at the Chinese Federation of Trade Unions.
"As for your current residence, if you have ownership, it must be transferred to me free of charge." Before leaving the Chinese Federation of Trade Unions, Sheffield suddenly remembered this matter, slapped his head and emphasized, "It is a free transfer, and you must accept it.
.”
This was a blatant robbery, but Sheffield said it righteously. He had to think about his own business and couldn't do it in vain.
Returning to his residence, Sheffield rubbed his forehead and calculated how much profit he could get from it. However, after calculation, the profit was still unsatisfactory. The slave owner, who thought it was a loss even if he couldn't pick up the money when he went out, beat his chest and couldn't help himself.
Evelin had already brought warm coffee over. Seeing Sheffield's current state, she smiled helplessly, "Actually, you can explain the benefits to the Chinese workers. Not only will they not feel like they were robbed, but they will thank you."
, wouldn’t this be beneficial to both parties?”
"What did you say?" Sheffield raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took the coffee and took a sip, "They should still hate me. Hating me is beneficial to both parties. Otherwise, I can't explain the purpose of my current actions? Is it possible that they hate me?
Is it for the so-called kindness? Evelin, I am a slave owner. If we go back thirty years and my grandfather said to the slave owners that if we disband the slaves, the Yankees will not attack us. What do you think?
Will the slave owner agree?"
Evelin bit her red lips lightly, a sad look flashed across her face and said, "But it's obviously good for both parties, so it's too unfair to be scolded in vain."
"No injustice, no injustice, no injustice. It's better to talk about benefits than reason." Sheffield pulled Evelin into his arms, and when he was about to take action, he aroused resistance, "Natalia didn't sleep."
The arrogant and lustful slave owner let himself go more and more, but Evelin still couldn't let go. Sheffield whispered, "Stop making trouble, you weren't like this when you were at Oak Manor. Why did you start to act coy again when you returned to California?"
I’m up now, I have a baby, why am I so shy now!”
As for how the Chinese Exclusion Act formed a foundation among citizens and eventually led to its passage, the reasons are too complicated. Among them, the Irish, the third largest ethnic group in the United States, contributed to the flames. The Chinese themselves were incompatible with the main group of European immigrants, and other reasons. Anyway, it appeared.
Already.
And it is also very supported by the citizens of California. To give an inappropriate example, if the Himalayas were not so towering, shouting the third brother who really smells good would still cause huge trouble to China. This slave owner did not do it for the United States.
Let's face it, no one in their right mind can turn a blind eye.
More than a hundred years later, the rise of the Republic has just begun. If it is like the United States, and its basic conditions are far behind those of neighboring countries, maybe its borders will also be impacted by the poor from neighboring small countries, and the problems of the Republic have just begun.
However, this Chinese Exclusion Act is not impossible to solve. This bill came about because the number of Chinese has increased, and the sparsely populated West feels threatened, especially the citizens of California. Now there are fewer and fewer Chinese, and they have all been taken away by Sheffield. The number of Chinese has reduced to
If the number of threats posed to California citizens was not established, the basis for the Chinese Exclusion Act would naturally disappear.
The most important thing is that the Chinese Exclusion Act is a temporary bill, just like Sheffield's contracting of southern private prisons. It has a deadline and will expire next year.
Historically, the Chinese Exclusion Act will become a permanent bill next year. Before that, it was only a temporary bill.
Naturally, when the temporary bill expires, it can no longer be extended. The premise is that the Chinese no longer pose a threat in the eyes of the citizenry. Sheffield continues to recruit workers from the Chinese community and follows the footsteps of the US military and sends a large number of workers to the Philippines.
Another large shipment was sent to Panama, this time the Chinese from San Francisco were packed and sent to Puerto Rico.
All of this is to reduce the number of Chinese and destroy the public opinion basis of the Chinese Exclusion Act, so that once the Chinese Exclusion Act expires this time, the Chinese will no longer become a problem, and the Chinese Exclusion Act will naturally not need to be extended, and the Chinese will not be affected.
Yes, there is no need to implement the bill.
By next year, no one will be able to remember this matter, and the Chinese Exclusion Act will automatically be invalidated. Even if someone remembers it, they can use the few remaining Chinese to stop it.
But this matter cannot be done in vain. In the eyes of slave owners, the word "white left" is equated with idiot. He cannot do things without profit. These Chinese workers must accept the dispatch of the United Company and become the driving force for the growth of the United Company. He
The boss was the one who came forward to handle this matter, and in the end Sheffield felt it was not enough and forced the Chinese to hand over their current property in San Francisco.
Let him take advantage of it. Evelin mainly thinks that the two sides can discuss it, so that the slave owner can still act as a savior in the eyes of the Chinese. Unfortunately, Sheffield feels that the identity of the slave owner is far more important than the savior.
During this time in California, Sheffield's main job was to worry about Hearst Media and contracts with Chinese workers. He was so busy that he hit the back of his head and received countless greetings from foreigners every day.
Hearst turned around in a dashing way, and now Sheffield has to do all the worrying. He will wipe Hearst's butt, wipe the Democratic Party's butt, and send a team of lawyers to the door to tell the excrement collectors that he was definitely not joking when he said he would sue.
