The buildings in the entire Kowloon Walled City were in a mess, and the roads were extremely crowded and crooked. After Fu Yaozu kept asking around, he finally found Dashan and Pangdong who were working in a suggested factory.
It would be better to say that this is a simple small workshop than a factory.
This is a food processing workshop, and the customers are also people from Kowloon Walled City.
The small workshop was spartan, consisting of two low, dilapidated rooms with peeling walls, uneven floors, and a tattered asbestos roof. The rooms were cluttered with miscellaneous items and tools, creating a chaotic appearance. The grimy tables, chairs, and benches were covered in dust and stains, as if they had never been cleaned. Even the water they used seemed unclean; the water in the bucket was murky and covered in a layer of greasy foam.
But there's no way around it; that's just the way life is here in Kowloon Walled City. It's a slum in a bustling city, where people live in poverty and squalor, barely scraping by, and most have no other options.
If you want to buy a decent house in a place like Hong Kong where every inch of land is valuable, even if the whole family saves together, they may not be able to do so.
In the 1970s, a 70-square-meter house in Hong Kong cost more than 200,000 yuan, and it was difficult for ordinary people in Hong Kong to buy a house by their own hard work.
In Kowloon Walled City, these workers can only work hard in this simple little workshop, earning a meager income to make a living.
Besides, Dashan and Pangdong were able to find this job thanks to their fellow townsmen. Being able to get a job with a stable income is considered good luck among many illegal immigrants.
Dashan and Pangdong are ordinary farmers from the coastal areas. Since the 1960s, local farmers from the coastal areas have fled to Hong Kong in large numbers.
Therefore, the farmers who smuggled in from these places basically think that they have more or less relatives or fellow countrymen here, and they can seek refuge with these relatives and friends who have already established a firm foothold in Hong Kong!
That’s why Dashan and Pangdong, who had just arrived in Hong Kong, could easily find a stable job and a permanent residence in Hong Kong.
Although this job is hard and the salary is low, it is stable!
This is much better than the situation of those helpless stowaways!
After all, most people still rely on odd jobs and selling their labor to barely fill their stomachs. Some even have no choice but to join gangs and live a life on the edge of a knife every day.
Dashan and Pangdong were a little surprised to see Fu Yaozu coming to Kowloon Walled City to find them.
They had also heard not long ago that Fu Yaozu was now working for a boss. In their opinion, Fu Yaozu was lucky. Working for a big boss was much more promising than working day and night in such a small workshop. They didn't expect that the other party would come to them.
When they learned that Fu Yaozu was inquiring about personnel information in Kowloon Walled City on behalf of his boss in order to recruit people for work, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"You've come to us! We work here during the day and live here at night. Who else knows more than us? Whatever our boss wants to know, we'll tell him everything we know!"
"That's right! We're very familiar with this place! If you want to know anything, just ask! I guarantee we'll satisfy the boss!"
Both of them felt that this was an opportunity to work for the big boss, and they both greeted Fu Yaozu very enthusiastically, thinking that maybe in the end he would recruit them to work for him because of the information they provided.
The two of them worked in this small workshop, busy like a top every day, but the reward they got in the end was not much!
I want to send more back home, but it’s a bit tight.
They have gone through untold hardships and survived many dangers to finally arrive in Hong Kong, not just to settle down here, but they also have a family in their hometown who are waiting for them to send money and things back home to support the whole family!
This is a rare opportunity to get in touch with the big boss, so of course they don't want to miss it!
If they can work for the big boss, they may be appreciated by him, then their rapid rise to prominence will be just around the corner, right?
Thinking of this, the two of them treated Fu Yaozu even more attentively!
Fu Yaozu was a little confused at first when faced with the two people's enthusiastic attitude. After he reacted, he understood what they were thinking. There were two informants who could provide information, and maybe the boss would really want to recruit them to work for her. However, he did not show too much for the time being, but just stated his purpose.
"So, you want to find out if there are any powerful people in Kowloon Walled City, right?" Dashan's mind worked quickly, and he immediately thought that the boss should be able to find someone useful among them.
There are many more in Kowloon Walled City!
real!
Due to years of political movements in mainland China, countless highly skilled doctors, scholars and professors who were labeled as the "stinking ninth", soldiers who were marginalized and had to choose to retire, and many educated youth who went to the countryside and felt hopeless in life, have chosen to smuggle into Hong Kong for various reasons over the years.
Just to get out of the predicament at that time.
After these people came to Hong Kong, some of them found a way out with their own knowledge and abilities, escaped from here, and successfully established themselves in Hong Kong.
However, there are still many who have suffered setbacks in Hong Kong because their academic qualifications or achievements are not recognized by the British Hong Kong government, or for other reasons. In the end, they can only find a job that can barely make a living and barely make ends meet.
