Chapter 159: Look at luck
Ye Luo's heart was settled, and he couldn't wait to say: "Since that's the case, can you contact them, and let them come now if you can?"
Resolute!
These four words are used to describe Ye Luo's style of doing things.
There is one thing to say, the depression and discomfort of not being able to recruit people for a long time are only clear to the parties concerned.
Ye Luo was also forced to have no choice, so he would pay the attention of the trainee's parents, you must know that the island is so big, and there are four adults and one child so far.
Alice and Scarlett are even more unlikely to let them work, and the only ones left are him, Daxter and Renison.
Daxter and Renison were supposed to be in charge of the big and small affairs of the fishery, but it turned out to be not only in charge of the fishery, but also in charge of picking and transporting vegetables.
Especially after cooperating with Lin Kai and Delis, the demand for ingredients has increased greatly, and it used to be once every three days.
Now it's once every two days, and it's going to be once a day in the future.
Thankfully, the fry in the fishery are still too small to be caught.
Otherwise, even if they were exhausted, Dast and Renison would definitely not be able to handle these tasks.
Ye Luo himself knew in his heart that it was precisely because of the lack of manpower that he did not dare to start developing farms and ranches.
"Okay, I'll call them and see. ”
After Xia Xiaofei finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and dialed it.
Ye Luo watched eagerly from the side.
Soon.
The phone was answered.
Xia Xiaofei didn't wait for the other side to speak, and took the lead in speaking: "Hello Mr. Robert, I'm Xia Xiaofei, do you have time now?
"Ahh Hello Manager Xia, I have time, I happen to have nothing to do now, go to the studio?" A rough middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xia Xiaofei said: "Well, yes, let's come to the studio once if you can." ”
"Okay, I'll go over now. Robert readily agreed.
After Xia Xiaofei got the answer she wanted, she didn't say anything, but hung up the phone directly, then flipped through the address book, found the number, and called directly.
I waited for about ten seconds.
The phone is connected.
This time, Xia Xiaofei didn't have time to speak, when she heard a male voice on the other end of the phone: "Hello Manager Xia, is there something wrong with you calling me? Or is my daughter causing you trouble?"
"No, that's right, Mr. Wiggins, I'm calling you to ask, do you have time now, and if so, can you come to the studio?"
Xia Xiaofei was slightly stunned, and then explained: "I called Mr. Robert just now, and he should be rushing to the studio at this moment. ”
"Robert, is that guy coming to the studio too?"
Wiggins' voice was puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll come over now." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the studio. ”
Xia Xiaofei replied and hung up the phone.
At this time, Ye Luo on the side hurriedly asked, "How is it?
"They all said they wanted to come, but it should take some time. Xia Xiaofei nodded and explained honestly.
She doesn't joke about business, public to public, private to private, she is very clear.
Ye Luo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell: "That's good, it's up to me next." ”
Afterwards, Ye Luo and Xia Xiaofei began to chat nonsense......
......
About forty minutes passed.
"Knock knock knock. ”
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
Xia Xiaofei and Ye Luo looked at the door together, Ye Luo consciously didn't make a sound, Xia Xiaofei coughed: "Come in." ”
As soon as the words fell.
The door to the office opened, led by a young girl in her early twenties, followed by two middle-aged men in their forties, whose burly physique was almost as big as Daxter.
I saw that the young girl glanced curiously at Ye Luo, who was sitting on the sofa and did not make a sound, and then said to Xia Xiaofei: "Sister Fei, I brought Mr. Robert and Mr. Willis here." ”
"Okay, you can go out and get busy first. Xia Xiaofei nodded.
The young girl turned around and left the office without hesitation, closing the door by the way.
At this moment, Robert and Wiggins were standing not far from the door, and the expressions on their faces were a little restrained.
"Don't stand, sit down. Xia Xiaofei saw that the two of them were a little uncomfortable, and greeted the two with a chuckle.
Robert and Wiggins looked at each other, and then each found a place to sit on the empty couch.
After the two of them sat down, Xia Xiaofei pointed at Ye Luo and said to the two: "The person who asked you to come this time is not me, but him." ”
"Hello. I'm Robert, are you looking for something with us?" said Robert, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hello, I'm Wiggins. Wiggins looked equally puzzled.
"Hello, I'm Ye Luo. ”
Ye Luo smiled, and then said, "Here's the thing, I heard that you are all engaged in fishing?"
"That was before. Robert smiled wryly.
Wiggins looked bitter: "We haven't fished in years, it's not that we don't want to, but the cost is too great." ”
"Oh, why, can you tell me to take a look?" Ye Luo's eyes showed curiosity.
Wiggins glanced at Robert, and saw that he didn't have an idea, and knew that the explanation undoubtedly fell on him: "The fishing industry on Norpland Island has been very bad in recent years, because the waters around the island have been very polluted, and the fish have either run out or died. ”
"You can't catch fish in the surrounding waters, but you can always catch fish if you go farther away, right?" asked Ye Luo, pretending not to understand anything.
Wiggins shook his head and explained: "You're right, we did the same before, but you ignored one point, that is, going farther means that the fishing boat consumes more fuel, even if you catch fish, this time the oil money alone is a large expense, and if you are lucky, you can barely make some money after deducting the oil money, and your luck is almost upside down." ”
Wiggins only said that the fishing ground consumes oil, and there are many others that he did not say, and if you fish, you must hire someone, then you have to pay a salary, which is a big expense, and if you are unlucky, not only can you not catch fish, but also break the trawl, or if the fishing boat has a problem with the motive, these will cost a lot of money.
"What's more, the market price is far lower than we expected. ”
At this time, Robert on the side said: "Generally speaking, the price of fish in the market will maintain a stable price, it stands to reason that in the case of no fish caught around Newfoundland, the price of fish in the market should be increased, but such a shameless trader actually desperately lowered the price, not only did the price not increase, not to mention, not even half of the original price." ”
After a pause, Robit continued with an angry face: "You must know that we fishermen rely on fishing to support our families, and after such a thing, every time we go out to sea to fish, after deducting the necessary expenses, the money we earn is even far less than that of odd jobs, because of this, many people like us who make a living from fishing have to give up fishing and find some other temporary jobs to do. ”
Xia Xiaofei and Ye Luo did not speak, while Robert and Wiggins were equally silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.
After half ringing.
Ye Luo took the initiative to break the silence: "So now that you don't fish, what is the income of a temporary worker every day?"
Only by figuring out their current income can Ye Luo know how sure he is of winning them.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Robert's face: "It depends on luck." ”
"Huh?"
Ye Luo was slightly stunned, and he reacted instantly, and he wondered: "Luck?"
"It's ......," Robert hesitated to say.
And Wiggins next to him timely explained: "That's right, it's luck, now the economic recession of the entire Newfoundland Island is something that everyone knows, and the unemployed account for about one-third of it, and it's not easy for people like us who can only fish to find a job, because we can't do anything other than fishing, so we can only do some manual work, such as going to the dock to help unload people." ”
Maybe Wiggins tore the fig leaf, and Robert didn't dodge, and took the initiative to take over the topic: "In addition to unloading at the dock, other jobs are basically not our turn, even if it is unloading, after all, there are so many people like us who are guarding the dock every day, scrambling to do the work, lucky we were picked, and if we are unlucky, we can only watch others work with envy." ”
"If we can't find a job at the dock, then we have to look for other jobs, and under normal circumstances, we will go to the factory gate to see if there is any work to load the goods onto the truck, or else we will go to find some other work that requires strength. ”
Robert said that 'the clouds are light and the wind is light', but Ye Luo can feel their difficulty.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. ”
Originally, he was going to probe the details of the two of them, he put away his careful thoughts, and took the initiative to throw out an olive branch: "Since you don't have a stable income now, it just so happens that I have a job here that suits you, and this is also the main purpose of me asking Xia Xiaofei to come to you, I don't know if you want to do it?"
"What job?" said Robert, a little excited, and didn't say yes at once.
"Can you tell us about it? We're deciding whether to accept it or not. Wiggins was also a little excited, and he didn't agree immediately, looking a little cautious.
Seeing that the two of them were obviously excited to agree, but because they wanted to figure out this kind of careful action, Ye Luo could understand, after all, if it was him, it would be like this.
"You don't have to worry about what I'm going to do for you to do something illegal. ”
Ye Luo introduced himself to the two: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ye Luo, I am an island owner, I currently have a fishing ground that has been on the right track, and there are farms and pastures that have not had time to expand, and now my island is short of people, so I plan to recruit you to work on my island, how do you feel?"
Robert and Wigginston looked at each other, one was that the time was a little uncertain.
And Xia Xiaofei, who didn't say anything after Ye Luo opened his mouth, said in a timely manner: "His identity is not only the owner of the island, but also the studio where we are currently located, and I am working for him, so you don't have to worry about being deceived or something." ”
