Chapter 237: 236 layoffs

The incident had a very simple cause: the railroad workers building California's north-south railway went on strike.

White people, born with inherent dignity, couldn't handle this deadly labor, complaining it was too exhausting even when they worked only intermittently.

Seeing railroad workers able to lie down and rest, other white people immediately stopped working and began to imitate the striking railroad workers.

The successive strikes brought California's industry to an abrupt halt, catching countless people off guard.

Yesterday, Su Yanqiao reported to Zhu Wencong, and today the backers urgently convened a meeting to deal with the situation, as industry is the lifeline!

The only large-scale industry currently not affected by the strike was Zhu Wencong's farm, and he was the least anxious of all.

Zhu Wencong had initially planned to feign ignorance, but, unfortunately, the backers came directly to his door, requesting his presence at the meeting.
