Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career
Chapter 69 The Love and Career of a Beautiful Industrialist 14
Yun Suisi gently closed the door and returned to the room with Jun Sui.
Both of them looked extremely solemn, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Before long, Ran Cang rushed back, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Boss, I've found out."
A large-scale conflict broke out at the docks in the east of the city, seemingly between foreign forces and some local factions.
Foreign powers attempted to forcibly seize the docks, but some local merchants and workers rose up in resistance.
Yun Suisi clenched his fist. "These foreign powers are really going too far."
Jun Sui frowned slightly. "We cannot sit idly by, but this matter also needs to be handled with caution."
After all, foreign powers are involved, and a slight misstep could lead to even bigger trouble.
"Then what should we do?" Ran Cang asked anxiously.
Yun Suisi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the dock to check the situation first, and then make a decision."
"Ran Cang, go and inform our people to be prepared and ready to act at any time."
The three quickly arrived at the East Wharf of the city.
The scene was chaotic, with foreign soldiers armed and confronting local merchants and workers.
The faces of the people were filled with anger and fear.
Yun Suisi and Jun Sui quietly blended into the crowd, their hearts pounding as they nervously observed the situation.
At this moment, the air at the dock seemed to freeze, filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to erupt at any moment.
The foreign officer strode forward arrogantly, his eyes filled with arrogance and domineering, and loudly proclaimed in broken Chinese:
"This place is now ours. You'd better leave immediately, or you'll face the consequences."
Each word was like a bomb, causing a stir in the crowd.
A local business representative stepped forward, his face filled with determination and resilience, and said without fear:
“This is our dock, you can’t just take it over like this.”
Our ancestors have lived and worked here for generations; this is our root!
His voice was a little trembling, but full of power.
The foreign officer sneered, his smile full of contempt.
He waved his hand, and the foreign soldiers immediately raised their guns, the metallic gleaming with a cold threat in the sunlight.
The people were so frightened that they retreated in disarray, their faces filled with terror.
But what's admirable is that not a single person left.
They stood closely together, expressing their resistance through silence.
Yun Suisi was extremely anxious, and his mind was racing.
He knew that if conflict broke out, the people would suffer enormous harm.
Innocent lives could be lost in an instant, families could be destroyed, and this land could be plunged into endless suffering.
He looked at Jun Sui, who nodded slightly, her eyes also filled with the same worry.
Just then, Yun Suisi suddenly thought of a solution.
He whispered a few words to Ran Cang, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear them.
"Ran Cang, quickly contact the reporters of the major newspapers in the city and make sure they arrive at the dock as soon as possible."
Also, notify our people to prepare banners and signs nearby, so that the protest can begin once the reporters arrive.
Ran Cang's eyes lit up, he nodded, and quickly left, his figure disappearing into the chaotic crowd.
Yun Suisi took a deep breath, mustered his courage, stepped forward, and said to the foreign officer:
"Sir, I am a businessman here. Let's talk this out."
Forcibly occupying the dock like this will not benefit you either.
Why don't we sit down and talk? Perhaps we can find a better solution.
His tone was calm yet firm, attempting to ease the tension.
The foreign officer hesitated for a moment, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
But in the end, he agreed to Yun Suisi's proposal.
They arrived at an abandoned warehouse, which was dark, damp, and filled with an old, musty smell.
The negotiations began, and Yun Suisi straightened his back, looking steadily at the foreign officers.
He exuded a confidence and determination, like an unshakeable mountain.
"Sir, you've seen the current situation."
This pier is a vital part of the local people's lives and economy. Your forced occupation will only provoke stronger resistance from the people.
Once a wave of resistance rises, your actions on this land will be hindered at every turn, which will be of no benefit to you.
Yun Suisi spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, yet with an undeniable power.
The foreign officer frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he still listened patiently.
His gaze kept drifting to the side, as if he were waiting for some opportunity.
Yun Suisi took a small step forward and continued:
"Sir, you might as well think about it. If you seize the dock, the people will lose their place of livelihood and they will surely rise up in resistance."
This resistance is not limited to armed force; it may also include various forms of boycott.
For example, they will refuse to do any business with you, your goods will be unable to be sold locally, and your trade routes will be cut off.
Moreover, the people's resistance will spread, and people in other regions will also develop resentment and vigilance towards you.
This is extremely detrimental to your interests throughout China.
The foreign officer snorted, "Hmph, you Chinese are always so stubborn."
We have overwhelming military power; we can easily seize this dock. You have no ability to resist.
Yun Sui met the foreign officer's gaze without fear.
"Sir, force cannot solve all problems."
If you use force, it will only escalate the conflict.
At that time, not only will you suffer losses, but this land will also be engulfed in endless war.
I believe this is not the outcome you wanted to see.
"Then tell me, what guarantees can you give us?" the foreign officer questioned.
Yun Suisi pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Sir, we can establish a joint management committee, with representatives from both sides jointly managing the dock."
This ensures fairness and justice, and protects the interests of both parties.
"You see, this way you can participate in the management of the docks, ensuring the smooth operation of your trade, while also avoiding strong public resistance. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
Yun Suisi spread his hands, making a sincere gesture.
The foreign officer scoffed, "Hmph, your proposal sounds good, but how will our interests be protected?"
We need exclusive rights to operate the port to ensure the smooth operation of our trade.
Moreover, we must charge high fees to cover our costs.
In addition, it is necessary to conduct strict inspections of goods entering and leaving the port to prevent the inflow of items detrimental to us.
Yun Suisi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Sir, it's impossible to monopolize the dock's operating rights."
This pier is the common property of the local people, and we cannot simply give it away.
The exorbitant fees are unreasonable, as they will severely dampen the enthusiasm of local merchants and ultimately affect your trade.
Regarding strict inspection of goods, we can jointly develop a reasonable standard to ensure the safety of both parties, but it cannot be decided unilaterally by you.
The foreign officer wavered somewhat, but still insisted, "No, our conditions cannot be changed."
Yun Suisi smiled and said, "Sir, please reconsider."
If we can reach a cooperation agreement, it would also be a good opportunity for you and your country.
We can learn from each other and make progress together through trade.
Moreover, we can also enhance friendship and understanding between our two countries through cooperation.
This will be very beneficial for future development.
At this moment, Jun Sui, who had been silent all along, took a small step forward.
He was dressed in a crisp warlord uniform, the exquisite epaulets gleaming with a cold light in the dim light.
Jun Sui's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on the foreign officer.
The imposing aura emanating from him seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
