Spy Under Sky Chapter 316

After Araki Oi came to Shanghai, although he made a fortune from Dai Zhenwu by playing billiards, he did not make any breakthrough in the labor business.

After all, compared with the extremely poor North China, the economic situation in Shanghai and its surrounding Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is much better. In particular, the existence of Shanghai, an international metropolis, has given the poor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang a place to live. As long as you are willing to endure hardships and work hard, you can always find a bowl of food in Shanghai, an international metropolis, instead of having to leave your hometown and go to Guandong with your family to survive like the poor in Shandong, Hebei and other North China regions.

Therefore, even though Araki Ooi was very eloquent, he was unable to recruit many workers. After all, who would be willing to leave the mild climate of the Jiangnan region and go to the icy and snowy border areas to make a living as long as they could find a meal here?

Just this afternoon, Araki Oi received a telegram from Amakasu Masahiko in Tianjin. In the telegram, Amakasu Masahiko scolded Araki Oi harshly and warned him that if he could not recruit a group of laborers and send them back within half a month, Amakasu Masahiko would consider transferring him back to Tianjin and sending someone else to take over the work of the labor agency.

Although Araki Ooi had only been in Shanghai for less than 20 days, he had already fallen in love with the life in the largest international city in the Far East. Apart from other things, there were not so many fools like Dai Zhenwu in the billiard rooms in Tianjin for him to harvest, not to mention that after returning to Tianjin, he had to report to Masahiko Amakasu every day and obey his assignments. It was not like he was in Shanghai now, where he was far away from home and could do whatever he wanted every day.
