Chapter 928
I would like to hear the details
"That being said, we are only tourists in the Philippines. If something happens, if it doesn't end well, not only will we be deported, but other people will also be affected." Yan Yangxian and his group
Old guys are not afraid of causing trouble, but they think more about how to deal with the aftermath.
Of course Lin Tian understood what he meant and said seriously: "Mr. Yan, I have been thinking about this matter for a few days. I have reached an agreement with the Chen family. Uncle Chen has also made it clear that he will help us..."
"You guys can do it! Did you handle the matter without saying a word?" Gu Quanxiu sighed as the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead.
Lin Tian smiled modestly, and his expression became more serious: "Before coming to the Philippines, I thought what happened to Mr. Yu was just an accidental phenomenon framed by a villain, but I met Hu Deyi and this group of people in the Philippines.
After living as a Chinese medicine doctor, I discovered that they also have extraordinary medical skills, but they are at the lowest level of society. Why is this? Are we Chinese being bullied for nothing?"
Another impassioned speech attracted a round of applause from the audience. Some people are born to be looked up to and admired by others. Lin Tian unfortunately fell into this category of people.
"Then what are you going to do?" Yan Yangxian asked a little uneasily when he saw his impassioned speech.
"The pressure of public opinion." Lin Tian had nothing to hide from them and told the truth.
Everyone knows that Lin Tian used public opinion many times in Yanjing and successfully directed people's attention, turning the storm into the focus of everyone's attention again and again, thus forcing his opponents to compromise with him again and again.
This time, it is obvious that what is different from the previous times is that they do not have the right time, location, and people, so how can they correctly guide the direction of public opinion?
Several old people exchanged opinions with each other with their eyes, expressing expectations and worries, but mostly admiration for Lin Tian.
"This guy might give us a big surprise." The three old people thought at the same time.
**********
On the fourth day of the violence, the door of the Manila City Hall was surrounded by local Chinese. They held signs, pulled banners, shouted slogans, and shouted slogans in front of a human wall of armed police.
Standing at the front of the crowd was Yan Dongyang. He wore a white turban on his head, which read, "We must live with dignity and oppose violence."
Most of the banners were slogans protesting the unfair treatment of the local Chinese by the city government. This time they were very organized and chanted slogans in front of the city hall. About a hundred people gathered and the momentum was huge.
As the activity progressed, local people joined the protest team one after another, so that the protest team grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.
mayor's office
Wearing a formal suit and with only a few sparse hair on his shiny forehead, Edeobi has been the mayor of Manila for three years and has encountered quite a few things before.
Of course, he understood that this time the Chinese protest was completely directed at the last violent incident. The government adopted a silent attitude towards the violent incident last time, and issued a silence order to prevent the media from reporting it, intending to deal with it in a low-key manner.
But what no one expected was that the Chinese, who had always believed in being honest and responsible, would collectively stand up to protest. This unexpected move made him confused for a moment.
"Labus, get over here." Ed Obi picked up the phone and roared, venting all the unhappiness in his heart.
Labusi was his secretary and had been working diligently. When he heard the mayor's call, he put down the work at hand and walked all the way to Ede Obi, and asked cautiously: "Mayor, what are your orders?
"
Ede Obi was in a bad mood, and Labusi's question undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. He immediately cursed: "Didn't you see the people outside? You haven't asked me what my orders are. I want to ask you."
Have you thought of any measures?"
Labus immediately understood that the mayor just wanted to find someone to vent to. No matter what he said, he would be scolded. As the mayor's secretary, he had long been prepared for all kinds of sacrifices. He calmly replied: "Mayor
Sir, I have contacted Borak, and he has sent people to surround the city hall to prevent the agitated citizens from taking advantage of it..."
"I know all this. What I want to know is, who is responsible for this and dares to run in front of the city hall to cause trouble!" Labus' precautions did not weaken Ed Obi's anger at all.
On the contrary, some phenomena have become worse.
"I'm checking!" Labus took a deep breath, knowing that as soon as he said this sentence, he would be greeted with a torrent of curses.
He was nervous and well prepared. To his surprise, the mayor did not curse, but stood in front of the window with his back on his back and looked through the window at the dark crowd outside the iron gate.
"Catch the leader!" the mayor ordered.
Labusi quickly waved his hand and said: "You must not! Mr. Mayor."
"Why?" There was a sharp look in Ede Obi's eyes, which made Labus tremble all over.
"The people protesting now are very excited. If the leaders are arrested again, it will intensify the conflict." Labusi had no choice but to tell the truth.
Ede Obi is not a stupid pig who can only get angry. In more cases, he will also consider the priorities of things. After thinking for a moment, he said to Labus: "Then please invite a few representatives to come in. I want to talk to them."
talk."
Seeing that the mayor changed his mind, Labus couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, turned around and walked out.
A few minutes later, Labus followed Lin Tian and Chen Yongqiang into Ed Obi's office.
"Is it you?" Ed Obi was surprised. He did not expect that the head of the famous Chen family would be the organizer of this protest.
In the face of doubts, Chen Yongqiang nodded without any burden and said: "Yes, I am here to talk to you on behalf of the nearly 200,000 Chinese in Manila."
"Oh, what are you going to talk about?" Ede Obi put away his surprise and sat back down, asking in a completely business-like manner.
"Before I say anything, let me introduce this person to you." Chen Yongqiang solemnly introduced Lin Tiandao to Ed Obi: "His name is Lin Tian, and he is a famous Chinese medicine doctor in China."
Ed Obi was not impressed by Chen Yongqiang's words and asked in an understatement: "What can I do for you?"
Chen Yongqiang pushed Lin Tian to the front desk, and he started translating on the side. He didn't think there was anything wrong at all, which surprised Ed Obi.
"I am here to express my wishes to you on behalf of the Chinese who have always been at the bottom in Manila!" Lin Tian did not like the mayor who was in front of him, but he would still be patient if he asked for help.
Communicate with the Mayor.
"What do you want to express? Don't you have to use illegal gatherings to express it? Our government has many normal channels, why do you choose this one?"
Everyone could tell that Ed Obi's words were full of anger. He was very unhappy, and Lin Tian was even more unhappy. However, hitting the table and hitting the bench now would not solve any problem.
"Mr. Mayor, I hope you can understand that this kind of prejudice has existed for many years. Today, as the times are getting more and more advanced, can't this bad habit be abandoned?"
As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, Ede Obi replied impatiently: "Mr. Lin, what you said is really one-sided. The Chinese in Manila are not discriminated against. For example, Mr. Chen, who has several figures in Manila,
He has a fortune of tens of billions and is respected by the people here. You can ask him. Our president also meets with him frequently. How can you say that the Philippines discriminates against Chinese people based on your own subjective assumptions?"
Ed Obi did not lie. Six of the top ten richest people in the Philippines are Chinese. With his extraordinary wisdom and courage, after earning his first pot of gold in the Philippines, he gradually became
The land develops and grows.
"I didn't say Uncle Chen, but I said you ignored other Chinese people, just..."
Before Lin Tian finished speaking, Ed Obi interrupted rudely: "What do you mean we ignore the Chinese? Society is fair, and if you give something, you will be rewarded. Those guys who are lying on the ground waiting for food, are they?
If we don’t deserve to be poor, should we care about their birth, old age, illness and death? We are the government, not a charity. We cannot achieve equality for everyone. Wealth and poverty are all natural selection. We have no way. The laws currently enforced by the government are
We must protect the interests of a large number of people, not a small group of people..."
Ede Obi's sharp words surprised Lin Tian. Even Chen Yongqiang, who had dealt with him on weekdays, was also surprised. Both of them looked at him in surprise. However, this aroused Lin Tian's arrogance.
He is a guy who never admits defeat.
"Well, since the mayor said that your law protects a large part of the interests, I want to ask, why do you discriminate against Chinese medicine so much? You also specially enacted a law to restrict Chinese people from using Chinese medicine to treat people. This is clearly discrimination.
!”
Instead of being angry after hearing his words, Ed Obi burst into laughter, and his laughter was full of wantonness.
"Why are you laughing?" Boss Lin Tian asked unhappily.
Ed Obi still knew some inside information about this law, and he said confidently: "About this law, there was no such law in the first place. Then, why did it come into being? Do you know why?"
Listening to his tone, Lin Tian faintly sensed a bad atmosphere, but he still said calmly: "I would like to hear the details."
A confident smile appeared on Ede Obi's lips. Of course he knew very well that once he told the truth, Lin Tian would immediately be speechless. Of course, this was only the first step. All he had to do was
