8 Tricks

Lin Yilong was tight-lipped about Katie's question, but while he was eating, several border guards raided the restaurant and took Han Yuxi and a Chinese cashier.

Raids by border police are a common occurrence in some non-European restaurants, mainly for illegal immigrants who are unable to find work through work centres and have to rely on referrals from acquaintances. This is the first time in the process of waiting.

The steps during the raid were simple: seven or eight border police officers in police tactical suits entered the hotel menacingly with search warrants, stopped at the bar, and demanded that the cashier pull out her work insurance number, but few non-European bosses would actually apply for these things for their employees. If you do not have a social security number and do not have a valid visa to work, you will be taken away for investigation. The cashier and Han Yuxi, who did not have a social security number, were directly asked by the border police to cooperate with the investigation and got into the police car.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Han Yuxi saw Lin Yilong in a casual suit and his girlfriend waiting for the meal. Until she was scolded by the border police, she did not wait for the gaze of nostalgia or forgiveness - or sympathy, completely alienated and strange.

Han Yuxi pointed at Lin Yilong like crazy: "He ......."

It seemed that the border police were still unsatisfied, and following Han Yuxi's index finger, they saw an East Asian-faced person sitting next to the beautiful woman waiting on the side, and Han Yuxi also came forward to make it clear that it might be illegal, so he walked up to Lin Yilong and asked him to show his passport.

"We are customers and are not in your jurisdiction. "If you have any objections, please go to the Home Office and apply for an investigation order." ”

Seeing Katie protecting Lin Yilong, the border police who came to investigate retreated, took the investigators, and rejoined their colleagues.

At this time, the so-called ostentatious celebration also lost its object, so Katie and Lin Yilong got up and went to the restaurant on the top floor of the meridian tower to continue enjoying lunch.

"Isn't that a bit excessive? Katie knew that this was Lin Yilong's masterpiece and asked.

"Huh?" Lin Yilong picked up a small piece of mushroom and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"The phone number that complained about the restaurant, you must have called. Katie confirmed.

"Not bad!"

"Then you really complained in retaliation against her?"

"As Her Majesty's law-abiding citizen, isn't it your duty to provide clues to the police?" Lin Yilong bit the baked potato cubes and said the word "responsibility" very seriously, "What's the problem?"

"I'm ......," Katie was a little deflated, "I'm still too young." ”

"You can't hold your judgment right: Didn't Katie notice that the commercial services next to that restaurant were all emptied?" Lin Yilong asked.

"What do you say?" Katie was inexplicable at Lin Yilong's words questioning ability, she had done her homework in advance, and there should not have been any major reversal, but things were twists and turns, making her unable to see the facts clearly.

"Quite simply, now the owner of the building where the restaurant is located is our patron. Lin Yilong said proudly, "If the only obstacle that prevents our customers from converting the restaurant into a showroom is the Chinese restaurant, do you understand it now?"

"As your secretary, why didn't I get such information?" asked Katie angrily.

"Aren't all the plans of Talbot Metal available on the intranet through the account they provide?" Lin Yilong said, "Although we don't have to worry about work now, we also have to solve the user's problems perfectly, right?"

"Hmm!," Katie said, "If it's a simple negotiation, wouldn't it be better to leave it to me?"

"It's really better, but overall, you don't have a lot of experience, and some of the tricks that aren't very popular on the table can't be used because you don't know the illegal 'unspoken rules' in this area. Lin Yilong said.

In order to avoid work insurance, many bosses are flexible when hiring employees, adopt the practice of paying cash directly, and do not consider issues such as tax declaration and pension, so they do not distinguish between so-called legal residents and illegal residents. In the restaurant industry, because the employees have to adapt to long hours of work and have to pay overtime outside the eight hours, the restaurateurs are more willing to accept the weaker bargaining power to "fiddle" with illegal immigrants, and once the incident happens, the owner will be saddled with a fine of 5,000 pounds per illegal worker from the Home Office, which is more than enough but more acceptable.

But employing three or four of these compatriots would be devastating for a crumbling business.

"If, in your opinion, I, as an agent of a commercial real estate, ask the owner to pay the rent or move out at this time, which option do you think the restaurant owner will choose?" Lin Yilong said, "Will you continue to struggle to maintain the sluggish customers, or will you clean up when you see the good?"

Katie gasped.

If the restaurant is a residential location, many of the statutory protections available to tenants – such as a grace period for rent, a grace period for finding other residences, and other possible circumstances – are not applicable to commercial properties.

"Should I send a reminder letter beforehand?" asked Katie, uncertainly, "if not, then adopt another negotiation method." ”

"That's why I said that you might not be comfortable with such unconventional methods – if it's simple, clear, and easy to use, why choose a complicated, obscure, difficult way?" Lin concluded, "If you're really going down the Westminster path, I think these are ways you don't want to accept to consider." ”

"I try to understand that way. Katie pondered her question, "But what if the boss insists on his right to rent?"

"How to persevere?"

"If the other people he hires, such as bartenders, cleaners, and waiters, are all contract workers, the terminator has to pay a severance pay. "If you had terminated your employment at that point, you would have to pay a lot of compensation." ”

"So Katie thinks that the owner of a restaurant like that, who has to reduce the burden by hiring illegal foreign workers even for normal waiter wages, will provide his own kitchen with complete social insurance records?" Lin Yilong took out the question, "Both of these are arguable, but they still need to be investigated in the end." ”

"I see. Yilong, you can finally be happier now?" Katie asked.

"What should I be happy about?" Lin Yilong asked meaningfully.

"For me. Katie sat in a straight position and said in a confident tone.

Lin Yilong was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face, and nodded to Katie.
