546 Long Wind and Waves
"Filing a trade before selling, not after buying, is an unspoken rule in the slave trade. The reason, of course, is to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Any product will be lost in the production, sales and even use, so there are quantitative indicators such as scrap rate, product service life and utilization rate. Of course, reducing scrap rates and increasing product utilization is one of the goals pursued by all companies, but it must be admitted that normal wastage can never be avoided, just like standard error. Effectiveness and efficiency are actually two different things, once efficiency exceeds a certain threshold point, efficiency begins to turn downward. Especially in the slave trade, this deviation between efficiency and efficiency obviously has a magnifying effect, infinitely magnified. No slave trader can guarantee that there will be no injuries, sickness, deaths, and attrition during transportation, no ranch can guarantee that no one will die during training, and no slave owner can guarantee that a few slaves who can still move will not be killed because of the agitation of one day. Among them, once the limit of efficiency is exceeded, the survival rate of slaves may only increase by 1 percent, and the production efficiency of slave traders may have to be reduced by 10 times, and finally cause a loss of profits of more than 100 times. ”
"Simple, fast and efficient, the slave trade industry is always the most profitable, and there is no need to take care of life. It would be uneconomical, then, to waste all kinds of resources and time costs to go through all kinds of formalities and pay all kinds of taxes for slaves who are destined to fill the 'scrap rate'. And if the buy-sell rate of a slave-owned enterprise shows a low level in the Exchange and Exchange system for a long time, such as less than 80 percent, or even less than 60 percent, then it can easily attract the special attention of many agencies, such as tax police, industry and commerce, health, security, and even urban management and human rights organizations, which are very annoying but very likely to affect your business license and downgrade the company's qualifications. Therefore, it is in everyone's interest to treat a 'scrap' or 'normal wear and tear' and let them sleep in the trading system, and then silently evaporate from the various intermediate links. As a result, it became the norm in the slave trade to postpone the filing of the Slave Trade Regulations, which should have been made after the completion of one transaction, until the commencement of the next transaction. The standard for the completion of the transaction is no longer the record, but the payment of both money and goods, and the replacement of chips. ”
"For example, I recorded in the transaction record that I was sold into the Green Meadows Slave Ranch at the age of fifteen, and at the age of eighteen, I was sold into the Cosmic Wind Slave Trading Company. But in fact, I was sold into the Green Meadows Slave Ranch at the age of eleven years and ten months, and then two years ahead of the record, on the eve of the age of sixteen, the Green Meadows Ranch was auctioned off to the Cosmic Wind Slave Trading Company. By the time I was eighteen, I had established myself in the Cosmic Slave Trading Company and had been given a regular position. The reason why there is such a year deviation in the record is the embodiment of this efficiency and business rules. ”
"Even in a high-class ranch such as Yerba Buenaodi, there are high requirements for the origin and qualifications of slaves, and there is still no guarantee that every slave who is brought in will be trained and graduated. Death from exhaustion, excessive punishment, teaching mistakes, and even suicide due to unbearable stress are the hellish reasons for countless children to die for a variety of reasons, from lower to advanced classes, every day. It disappeared from the world forever and silently, without records, without explanations, and certainly without funerals. It took me more than four years to complete all the training courses, graduate from the advanced class, and when it was time to hand over to the firm to be listed for auction, the general affairs department of the ranch began to file the transaction for me that should have been done four years ago. When I received the notice of filing for the medical examination, I was so happy that I was able to dance on my tiptoes. This proved that I had won, and I had worked tirelessly for four years to finally earn myself the right to live with my head held high. I won't die until I leave the meadows, because my life has value. ”
Gu Hanhan chewed on the "head high" in Lichun's mouth, so he said: "Then, you went to the auction table and were bought by another slave company. [@* #*Free to read]
"Yes, miss, and then I was auctioned off by another slave company, which meant that a new round of effort and competition for survival had to start again. It's nothing, I'm not afraid," she said, "Life is endless, struggle is endless, and that's how people live." ”
"Take Me The Cosmic Wind Slave Trading Company is a large group that operates a chain market, and the owner not only has a large slave store in the southern continent of Beacon Star, but also hundreds of slave shops in the universe within thousands of light-years around Beacon Star. The company's business was mainly to do cheap slave retail, and occasionally a little wholesale. Cosmic Wind bought me primarily to participate in the company's operations as an employee—a common occurrence, not limited to the slave trade. Many business owners believe in the use of slaves to govern slaves, believing that it would be more profitable to use slaves to manage slave operations. Of course, the cosmic wind is a cheap slave seller, and it does not have slaves that meet the requirements of management, and it itself does not have the ability to cultivate such slaves, so they buy slaves from the auction company twice a year. ”
"There were 68 people from five ranches, three headhunters and two training agencies, and seven from private transfers. At the beginning, all the people gathered at the company's headquarters to learn, mainly training rules and regulations, company business, etc., and the induction training of ordinary new employees is not very different. After the training, it is assigned to various departments, branches and markets, and officially start work. The vast majority of people are sent to extraterrestrial branches or markets as salesmen or some junior management positions. About a dozen people were left behind in the company's headquarters, and their positions started as trainees and were assigned to various departments to do miscellaneous work. I was also one of the dozen or so people who stayed at the company's headquarters, but I was assigned to the boss's president's office, where I worked as a trainee for the boss's secretary. The boss of the cosmic wind is fond of young people between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, that is, the kind of boys and girls who grasp the last tail of puberty and whose characteristics are between teenagers and youths. In the spirit of making the best use of things and making the best use of talents, the company's manpower will cooperate with the boss's housekeeper, and after each outsourced slave training, one or two young people who can not only undertake the work needs of the secretary's assistant but also meet the boss's hobbies will be selected to enrich the president's office. ”
"It's definitely a first-class place to visit. Staying in the president's office, a place that oversees the overall situation of the company, the work is in the boss's eyes up, and you can see the place in a few steps, and the same trainee obviously has a higher starting point and a greater chance of getting promoted. Originally, this beauty difference was not my turn, and the manpower was actually another girl at the beginning. But she didn't dare to go, so she made a very sincere request to Manman, and Manpower was also moved by her, so the opportunity fell to me. Of course, the president's office is indeed not without danger, and opportunities always coexist with dangers. As a slave trainee, it's easy to be scapegoated or the target of anger in the president's office. And if you think about it, you also know that the opportunity cost is too great to poke under the nose of the boss all day long. No matter how good a slave is, who can guarantee that he will never make a mistake? If he also makes a mistake or does not do a good job, in other places, the most he can do is to deduct his salary and not be promoted and tossed by his superiors, otherwise he will be accused of manpower, and there is always room for ease and turnaround. But if the boss is angry or unhappy, he can do it on the spot if he wants to kill a few slaves, and he doesn't need to report to anyone. ”
"There are a bunch of secretaries and secretaries of the boss's office in the president's office, as well as two top bosses of personal assistants, who are very good at doing things and even more so in personnel. But after a few months of getting used to it, it feels pretty good. The boss's secretary I was directly appointed to was a serious lady in her forties, professional and erudite, usually very strict, but also very kind, not only helped me adapt to the complicated affairs of the president so that I could get a foothold there, but also taught me many tricks in the work that I would never learn in the ranch. In the head office, the hired slave employees are half and half of the normally recruited employees, and we can enjoy the same wages and benefits as ordinary employees, and we can also take normal vacations when the company's manpower and the boss's housekeeper are not specifically requested. The boss is not bad, good-natured, not harsh, never kills anyone with his own hands, only occasionally whips us a few times when he gets angry. But how can a slave not be whipped, as long as he does not delay things, it is not worth mentioning. ”
Gu Hanhan listened to Lichun talk about her "not bad" boss in a turbulent tone, talked about his hobbies and temperament, and completely put himself in the position of an object, a livestock or a qualified slave, and put the "boss" in the position of a user and owner, and only admired Ms. Lichun's respectable professionalism. She asked herself that if she was in Lichun's situation, she would never be able to do this anyway. Yes, she often messes up even a long-term stable, harmonious and happy pure healing relationship!
So, with a delicate feeling, Gu Hanhan asked again: "Then what happened later? How did you come to the slave hypermarket in the Nanzhou Continent?"
"Later, I was eighteen years old!" Li Chun smiled, "There was no vacant position for promotion at that time when the president ran the company. I got old again, so of course I had to quit the president's office. ”
"But I'm not coming to the slave shop right away. She said, "The special assistant and my boss in the office are quite satisfied with my work for more than two years, and my boss has no bad impression of me." So they didn't send me out, but let me stay in the head office and go to other departments, and my position was officially promoted to assistant. It was at this time that the human resources officially filed for the transaction, which was two years earlier than that of Qingcaodi. ”
"Well, I bought you this time, and it only took five minutes to get you the record," Gu Hanhan thought, "Congratulations, Ms. Lichun, obviously you have made progress again." ”
