Chapter 273: Sorting is not for you
Leave Manhattan and head to Brooklyn.
This is a suburban location, where a private prison of the Correctional Company is located, and there is no wilderness except for the river basin.
The prison was topped with barbed wire to allow escapes.
Along the way, Wang Qiang sat in the back seat of the car and looked at the environment of the prison with great interest, the layout is a bit like the prison in "The Shawshank Redemption", but the equipment is more modern.
According to Stephen Johnson next to him, the prison is divided into seven ABCGEDG districts, each of which is divided into east-west or north-south districts, and each east-west-north-south district is divided into two districts, and one community accommodates about 60 people, which is calculated to contain more than 1,000 people in this prison.
In the end, Stephen Johnson, Wang Qiang, and the chauffeur acting as an interpreter were led by the warden to an empty room on the west side, which was already filled with prisoners, who looked good except for prison uniforms, and at least a bottle of water was placed in front of each prisoner.
Heavily armed administrators stared at each other, as if they were afraid that the prisoners would make a fuss.
Walking in, the warden straightened his back and walked to the rostrum where the microphone was placed, and said in English, "You will have a job next, please cherish this opportunity." ”
Although it was only a short sentence, the prisoners below cheered.
"Got a job?"
"The food can get better!"
"Oh my God, at last there is life. ”
"Man, our hard days are over. ”
Seeing everyone's joy, Wang Qiang was a little puzzled and asked a few words.
The driver probably knew something inside, but he didn't talk to Stephen Johnson, and explained directly in Chinese: "The treatment of prisoners who have work in private prisons is different from those who don't, such as food, and work, and have money to buy cigarettes, make phone calls, and even buy women's magazines...... Ahem, just listen anyway. ”
Wang Qiang understood this.
The warden said a few more words, then walked up to Stephen Johnson and said, "That's it." ”
Stephen Johnson nodded and looked sideways at Wang Qiang, "Wang, in the next few days, you are here to train them in theoretical knowledge, and I will ask the warden to prepare the required storage for you as soon as possible, and you need to provide the equipment yourself." ”
"Okay. Wang Qiang responded.
"I'm still a little bit of a preemptive. Stephen Johnson said hello and left.
The warden called a white administrator to work with Wang.
The manager's name is Jack William, an older surname.
Wang Qiang communicated with William, saying that he needed a blackboard and chalk, and William quickly asked people to get it.
Everything is ready.
Walking in front of the blackboard and letting the driver hold the microphone, Wang Qiang said, "Hello everyone." ”
The driver spoke into the microphone in English.
"Hi. ”
"Hello man. ”
"Do you want to give us a lesson?"
The prisoners below were optimistic, and their responses were varied.
After saying hello, Wang Qiang didn't waste time, and directly began to teach the prisoners, "The next work you will be engaged in is called warehousing and sorting, of course, some people have to be engaged in handling work, but the work is relatively easy, you don't need to worry." ”
The prisoners below were relieved to hear that the work was easier.
Subsequently, Wang Qiang began to train and explain, "What is warehousing? Warehousing refers to the general term for the storage, custody and storage-related storage activities of materials through warehouses. It arises with the creation of material storage, and it develops with the development of productive forces. Warehousing is one of the important links in the circulation of commodities and an important pillar of logistics activities...... What does sorting mean? Sorting is the operation of stacking items according to the varieties and the order of entering and leaving the warehouse......"
He roughly described the nature of the work.
The prisoners listened with great interest, and it was clear that they were very bored inside.
On the first day of training, Wang Qiang did not conduct training for a single type of work, but integrated the work they needed to introduce it, because some things need to be put into the warehouse for them to get started, so that they can really understand it, otherwise it is useless to say more.
The first day of the course is relatively simple.
At noon, Wang Qiang and the driver enjoyed the food in the prison, well, in fact, it was the food eaten by the prisoners.
It is said that dinner in prison is the same as lunch, but there will be a little more hard dishes, such as starchy meat, a little bit of meat foam in macaroni, and canned fruits and vegetables, and they eat Spanish cuisine at noon, tomato sauce and all kinds of cheap staple foods, I heard that tomorrow it will be Mexican food, the day after tomorrow it will be American food, these are the three kinds.
……
The days of training flew by.
It's the third day of training.
In the large warehouse near the west side, Wang Qiang is observing the simulated work of prisoners on the assembly line sorting.
Suddenly, he noticed that one of the black men who was sorting and scanning was a little unsure of what to do, and stepped forward, "Hey, Bruce, don't you remember the process I told you?"
Bruce took the scanner and said helplessly: "You said a bit too much, I can't remember." ”
Generally speaking, the braincase of blacks is slightly worse than that of whites, congenital.
However, Wang Qiang was not impatient, and taught him very seriously: "First of all, you have to understand that orders are not picked, such as the foam boxes we simulated, then you need to pick them out of the storage area or sorting area from various commodities, and then gather them together." He personally stacked the foam boxes one by one, "and then it was the picking ......."
Batch Picking ......
"Composite Picking ......"
The last is to enter the logistics procedure, which does not need them to bother, as long as they enter the warehouse by category and wait for the freight to come and tow away.
During the explanation, a large group of people gathered around, and they all stared intently.
After teaching, Wang Qiang looked at Bruce, "Understood?"
Bruce scratched his head, showing his white scary teeth, "Still don't understand......"
Wang Qiang: "......"
I'll go, I've demonstrated it so carefully, you still don't understand?
He didn't know if Bruce was innocent or if he really didn't understand, so he tentatively asked, "I'll ask you a question." ”
Bruce nodded, "You say." ”
"When I was six years old, my sister was half my age, so when I was sixty, how old was my sister?" Wang Qiang is still a little unbeliever, you can't answer such a simple question, right?
The two white men on the side laughed.
"It's that simple?"
"Anyone can figure it out. ”
"Of course I know it's simple. Bruce glanced at them disdainfully, with a relaxed expression, turned his head to look at Wang Qiang and grinned, "Thirty years old." ”
A few people around burst into laughter.
There was also a brown guy holding his stomach and laughing.
Wang Qiang almost fainted, thinking that Bruce didn't hear the question clearly, and repeated again: "I mean, when I was six years old, my sister was half my age, and when I was sixty, how old was she?"
Bruce looked strange and said, "Thirty years old is right, your sister is half your age, when you are sixty, isn't she thirty years old?"
All right.
You win.
I'll admit I'm even more stupid than you to ask you such an intelligent question.
Wang Qiang was speechless, and pointed in the direction of the porter not far away, "You will be responsible for carrying it in the future, such a simple job as sorting is not suitable for you." ”
