Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The bustling scene in Manhattan is absolutely shocking to people of this era.

    ??At least, in the eyes of businessmen who travel between Manhattan and Europe, the Arab world, and the African continent, there is no port or city in the world that can compare with Manhattan.

    Not even Alexandria, the most prosperous and lively port in the Mediterranean.

    On the dock berth of Manhattan Port, there are galenic ships from Portugal and France docked one after another.

    The pole of the sail was lowered and stood there so densely that it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

    Various accents appeared one after another on the pier, including some weird Mandarin accents.

    Countless laborers moved the goods from the merchant ships, neatly stacked them in the designated area on the dock, and then carefully spread the tarpaulin.

    There are also many laborers who are moving the goods little by little from the neatly stacked goods to the merchant ship's warehouse.

    These laborers are very careful when carrying goods.

    It can be seen that the merchants who hired them must have paid for the insurance of the goods.

    Since the man¡¯s money and people¡¯s help to eliminate disasters have been paid, then these laborers will definitely do their best.

    Besides, if they don¡¯t do their best, the little supervisors won¡¯t let them go.

    ? Here, you will be punished if you do something wrong.

    Of course, as long as you follow the rules, your life here will be good.

    Although labor is a hard job, the income is still high.

    ¡°And since the labor industry was monopolized by gangs and prices were raised, and their service quality kept up, basically every laborer¡¯s income doubled.

    None of them could have imagined that not only did the gang not squeeze their income, but they actually fulfilled their promise of increasing their income.

    ¡°If this matter were done on the European continent, it would be simply impossible.

    This made all the laborers who made a living at the dock completely convinced.

    certainly.  No one has to pay a small amount of management fees every month and receive training from time to time, so no one will object to it, right?

    After all, this is good for you.

    Service with a smile, the employer is God, they are our food and clothing parents.

    This is the slogan handed down by the gang managers.

    Rather than saying this is a gang, it would be better to say this is a company.

    It¡¯s just that if you infringe on this company¡¯s interests, then the methods he uses will be very violent.

    ¡°It is basically impossible for anyone else to intervene in the labor industry here at the Manhattan Pier.

    ? plus the support of intelligence agencies.  Monopoly has become inevitable.

    "But laborers and businessmen have benefited, so they don't care at all who manages and monopolizes it.

    Things in the world are so realistic. What they see are the benefits and benefits that such management brings to them.

    When the gangs did not have a monopoly, workers often fought here to compete for the right to load and unload goods.

    Even if the police department here in Manhattan is very strict, it can't stop them from fighting for this kind of thing.

    It can be seen that people can really risk their lives for the sake of profit.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? That¡¯s different now.

    We don¡¯t have to fight with each other anymore.  They are all managed by the same organization, right?

    For those businessmen, this benefit is even greater.

    First of all, although the laborers in the past were good at doing things, they always accidentally caused unnecessary damage to the goods.  Inflict some losses on yourself.

    But you can¡¯t argue with these people. If you do, you will be unlucky next.

    There is no one to load and unload your goods, even if you barely find someone.  Then what happens next will make you miserable.

    After taking a few steps, the goods will fall down, and the fragile goods inside will become rotten.

    It¡¯s not impossible for something like this to happen.

    So, the businessmen at that time.  Most of the time, I will not offend these laborers.

    "Zhao Hongyu and the others don't have a good solution for this kind of thing.

    After all, many unspoken rules always appear, because they involve a lot of interests.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???This problem was solved by Wang Shan.

    Today's laborers, with their smiles and considerate services, have changed the impression of businessmen on them.

    Of course, after all, the price paid by these businessmen is 30% higher than before, right?

    On the pier, some clever children will even wholesale some drinks from some taverns and sell them at the pier.  The wholesale price of those drinks called soda is two copper coins a cup, but when sold at the dock, they can be sold for five copper coins a cup.

    Therefore, some children who have a little money and are still working here will make some extra money by selling this drink outside while soliciting customers.

    Regarding the behavior of these children, most of their bosses have adopted the approach of turning a blind eye.

    After all, these children are here to save money for their future lives, right?

    These bosses of Chinese origin have also inherited the unique kindness of the Chinese people.

    And of course their kindness was rewarded.

    These children, who are still young now, will be very loyal to their employers when the Song Empire begins its vigorous voyage and national trade in the future.

    Because of the precocity of these children, they can clearly feel the kindness of their bosses.

    "Comparing the human heart with the human heart, how can it be impossible for these children who are not bad learners to be moved?"

    You know, most of them have had the experience of wandering in Europe.

    When they were in Europe, no one treated them as human beings.

    Sometimes, the boys or girls among them were bullied by the church and some perverts from the noble lords.

    Only here in Manhattan, with the kind-hearted bosses of Chinese descent, can they truly experience respect and kindness.

    "Sir, do you need a tour guide? You are the first to come here. You are very unfamiliar. My little Bart has been working here for a long time. I have never seen you before. Manhattan is a big city. If you are here for the first time,  If you don¡¯t know your way here, you only need one Longyang and I can serve you. Whether it is business transactions or entertainment in hotels and taverns, I know everything."

    "Whether you need to sell or buy goods, I can provide you with detailed references. If you don't trust me, our agency can also serve you"

    "Would you like to stay in a hotel? Our store has a clean and hygienic environment and is very close to the Ministry of Commerce and the pier. It is convenient for you to travel and discuss business. It is definitely the best choice for you when you live in Manhattan."

    "Sir, let's eat. The food in our store is the most delicious and is very famous here in Manhattan. If you find it troublesome, our store also provides food delivery service. You just need to leave an address and the name of the dish you want.  That¡¯s it, we will deliver it to you in the shortest possible time.¡±

    Scenes like this can often be seen on the piers of Manhattan.

    And do this.  Most of them are boys and girls.

    Most adults are too embarrassed to do this.

    Those European businessmen who came to Manhattan for the first time were really not used to such enthusiastic solicitation methods.

    But those kids are very discerning.  Don't continue talking when the guest is impatient.

    They will often get their target interested in the shortest possible time, and then tell him the advantages of their store quickly and briefly.  Then let the target be taken to the store by himself.

    However, they don¡¯t exaggerate and often talk about the real advantages of their stores.

    Because this is what the bosses asked for.

    False propaganda is unacceptable.

    Manhattan today.  It's as lively as it was in the 1950s and 1960s.

    Of course, this is only on the harbor side of Manhattan.

    If you leave the port, except for the business district, other places will not be so lively but rather deserted.

    After all, the rest of Manhattan are residential areas.

    So, why is it so lively?

    Zhao Hongyu and others¡¯ overall planning for Manhattan are all imitating the American model of later generations.

    What a residential area needs is tranquility and forest green coverage.

    They will not follow the example of later generations of China, who built skyscrapers and cut down all the trees.

    In addition to the merchant ships sailing from Portugal and France, there are also empires coming from the Caribbean.The boat is off.

    Although the number of merchant ships is not very large, it also proves that the empire also began to have merchant ships, appeared on the sea and began operations.

    These merchant ships carry some fresh fruits from the Caribbean.

    After all, Manhattan has just experienced winter and ushered in spring, and there is still no fruit.

    ¡°It¡¯s different in the Caribbean.

    The climate there is like spring all year round, and tropical fresh fruits are everywhere.

    Therefore, merchant ships in the Caribbean will transport several batches of fruits to the market a month.

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, because of the high income, people¡¯s consumption in Manhattan has also increased.

    Although the fruit is a bit expensive, it will still be sold out.

    Many Europeans will buy an apple or dragon fruit every now and then to take home and bring it to their children.

    Even those underage children on the Manhattan Pier can¡¯t help but use their hard-earned money to buy one or two fruits to satisfy their cravings.

    You know, some of these children have never even tasted fruit.

    Only here in Manhattan can they rely on their own income to buy a fruit and taste it themselves.

    If it were Europe, that would be absolutely impossible.

    In spring, everything seems to be full of vitality.

    And the people here are full of longing and expectation for a happy life.

    But each of them knows that in this country, as long as they can struggle, anything can be achieved.

    Because there is no oppression here
