Chapter 574 The Heart of Recruiting
For ordinary people, if they want to survive in Shanghai, they usually need to have a man with good physical fitness at home. After all, if there is no pillar of making money in this era, it is better to leave Shanghai.
After all, there is no land to cultivate here, and even if there are some slightly remote places, it is not something that can be guaranteed by a single man. This is the territory of the Japanese, and all Chinese people know the Japanese's character.
If you abandon the most basic living conditions of farming, there is only one way, which is to buy rice and vegetables. For ordinary people, they can basically not get anything to buy food.
In the past, it was the currency of banknotes, but now, don’t joke. Money is similar to white paper these days. As for the so-called banknotes with Japanese hairstyles, the people’s awareness is naturally very low.
Unless there is gold, it’s a pity that if you can take out gold, it’s not called an ordinary person. Even if there are a few rings, pendants, or they will either be snatched away early or hidden deeply. They will never take it out unless they have to.
People like Lin Fei are definitely the ones who want to attract. These days, there are fewer and fewer dock workers in Shanghai. There have been so many things happening in Shanghai recently that many people have escaped directly.
So as soon as Lin Fei arrived here, someone immediately became interested in recruiting him.
Lin Fei originally wanted to refuse such a thing. He was not really short of money. It was a joke that these people wanted to recruit him, but he still smiled. He must have been here for the past two days.
"Brother, I understand everything you said. Don't worry, I've just come to Shanghai. When I finish the job here, I'll mess with you." Lin Fei said with a silly smile.
When the man heard this, he immediately laughed. He had already seen that the man in front of him was not very scheming and was very suitable to be his horse-boy.
Yesterday, a boss in Shanghai was slaughtered in the Japanese military camp. This was a very common thing. After the Japanese arrived in Shanghai, they didn’t know how many boss-level figures they killed, and it was nothing to kill any more.
However, the people who stayed at the docks and nightclubs were so envious that they would not have robbed the docks in the past two days because of the Japanese. Everyone knows that the Japanese are the most sensitive time. At this time, their heads are very unstable.
But in these few days, Shanghai will definitely cause a bloody storm. No one can escape as long as they are stuck in this path.
"Okay, you are so happy, don't worry, follow me Wu Laosan and protect you from wealth in the future. By the way, aren't you here alone to Shanghai? Let's go back with me tonight and let a few girls serve you comfortably." Wu Laosan laughed.
He did not lower his voice. After all, he was responsible for transporting this train, and the people here were all his subordinates.
After hearing what Wu Laosan said, his subordinates quickly congratulated him. They did not have the same vision as Wu Laosan, but they could flatter him.
"Then I thank you Brother Wu. Boy Lin Fei, I have met Brother Wu." Lin Fei said with a smile.
His words were still sincere, but even Wu Laosan could feel the arrogance that appeared faintly on him.
"Haha, since they are all brothers, they will naturally share the joys and sorrows from now on. It's almost time for dinner. Don't work, let's talk to each brother." Wu Laosan said with a laugh. He must have to ask questions about every new brother.
First, for safety, such as undercover sent by other families.
The second is to arrange that if you have any skills these days, it will definitely be the focus of training.
Not everyone who joins the gang is a worker at the dock. It is just the lowest job, exchanging food for body and life. After all, the dock workers have another identity, that is, being a horse-boy and expanding their territory for the boss.
This identity is only suitable for men who don’t know anything. As a gang elder brother, Wu Laosan not only needs a maid, but also needs many other types of talents.
These days, talents are even more precious than decades later.
Lin Fei didn't want to do this coolie at first, but when he saw Wu Laosan say this, he nodded immediately.
The two found a place to avoid the sun and sat down, and one of them took a teacup and started drinking.
"Brother Lin, I see that you are different from us ordinary people. What did you do before?" Wu Laosan asked with a smile.
Lin Fei's face remained unchanged, and he still looked calm.
"Brother Wu, you may not believe it. I used to be a GMD officer." Lin Fei said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Wu Laosan was shocked and the water in the teacup in his hand was sprinkled out.
Lin Fei's words were a bit scary. Although GMD's strength is much worse than before, it is considered a Chinese royal army. The guy in front of him is an officer, so the contrast between coming to Shanghai to do the wharf work is too big.
"Brother Lin, what kind of official did you have been? Since you are an official, why don't you go back to Chongqing?" Wu Laosan said with a frown.
"Hey, I used to be a Nanjing Front Army. I became a small civilian staff officer. In fact, I just brought tea and water to others. You know about Nanjing. Our commander withdrew his troops at that time, and then we walked away. There were so many ordinary people in the city at that time, and I couldn't bear it."
"At the beginning, I wanted to go back to find the former troops. Later, when I heard about the massacre, I gave up. I originally wanted to find a few Japanese to fight, but unfortunately I didn't have any guns and no one. Just think about it, and then I ran all the way, sometimes I did some work for people, and then everyone ran away. I didn't think that Shanghai was a big city and should be able to survive, and then ran to Shanghai."
Lin Fei thinks that he is still very capable of making stories. If nothing else, he can at least hide it from the third son of Wu in front of him.
He did not make up his official position very much. After all, these guys are just local tyrants and are very brave. If he said he was the commander of the Nanjing Front Army, he would probably sell him to the Japanese in a blink of an eye.
After thinking about Lin Fei, Wu Laosan really believed Lin Fei's words. It is normal for some subordinate officers to be separated these days. For example, in Shanghai, there were many soldiers from Nanjing and Shanghai back then.
