"It's a little tricky, huh?"

Shao Nianshi, who had already come out of the largest department store in Qingcheng, muttered, tied the samples that had already accumulated into a large roll to the back seat of his bicycle, and rode in the direction of the textile mills belonging to six different consortia in Showa and Riyao, Japan.

After all, after the initial collection of cloth samples in the market, it is necessary to learn about the production environment of your opponents.

As an initial plan, Shao Nianshi planned to go to the German textile factory first, but when he had a brief exchange with the German comprador who worked closely with flour at the dock in Qingcheng, Shao Nianshi gave up this plan.

Because from the mouth of this Mr. Fredeke, I learned that his German countryman had recently planned to sell his property in Qingcheng and planned to return to China to do his due part for the development of his motherland.

The director of the first textile factory in Qingcheng actually came to this ancient land with the task of plundering the wealth of the East.

But now, because the two countries have a preliminary intention to cooperate, the country needs him to sacrifice a part of his personal interests in order to complete the work of maintaining friendship between the alliance powers.

And this blond-haired and blue-eyed German people, who were bent on worshipping the Führer's personal charm, after receiving the order, were really ready to sell their property in Qingcheng for the sake of the overall situation without regrets.

This made Freddeke, who was a little less pure-blooded, very puzzled, but after several attempts to dissuade him to no avail, he gave up his plan to communicate with this friend.

Therefore, after a brief communication with this foreign friend who was already fluent in Chinese, he headed directly to the relatively dense area of the Japanese factory.

If we talk about the location of the factory established by the Japanese, we can see that there is not much friendship between these groups in the face of interests.

Three of them showed an irregular and sporadic distribution, and thanks to the other three occupying the northwest of Qingcheng, Shao Nianshi had to run a lot less wrongly.

It's just that the scene was a little different from Shao Nian's original imagination, these three factories that are not far away from each other, not only do they not have any thriving people, but everywhere reveals a depressed and pessimistic dead air.

From time to time, they appeared around the factory, with sharp weapons pinned to their waists and sentry sticks stuck behind their backs, not like security guards guarding the factory, but like prison guards blocking the prison.

And the time that Shao Nian is now passing is exactly the noon of the day.

If it were on the body of ordinary people, everyone should feel hungry at this time and have lunch time.

But now, the huge factory area has not even come out of the workers, Shao Nian has observed, on the opposite side of the factory area, there are a lot of low and cheap small sheds, looking at the bare-bottomed children who emerge there, the old women washing clothes next to the water pipes, and a few women who have just returned from working in the half-cultivated vegetable fields behind, these must be the families of the workers working in the opposite factory area, why have not many workers returned home to fill their stomachs after so long?

Just when Shao Nian felt very strange, he found that the gate of the Sunshine Textile Factory closest to him was pushed open by a short man walking outside the road with a Rendanhu.

He held a large white piece of paper in his hand, a bucket of slimy paste, the lid of which was hidden, and a small brush used to paint the wall peeked out of the crack, revealing his presence.

When the short man came to the courtyard wall on the side outside the gate, he spread out the paper rolled into a tube in his hand, brushed it twice, smeared the paste, and snapped, and at once pasted the paper with large characters on the courtyard wall.

Shao Nianshi saw that the little man did not leave after pasting, and felt a little strange, and was thinking about pedaling the car to see what was written on it, but found that after the short man had done this series of actions, the area of the shed behind him was boiling because of the other party's behavior.

"It's time to recruit again! ”

"Do you really want to call the family to come over? My family is working with them, and I'm about to die of exhaustion. ”

"Where can you go if you don't go to work here? It's better to die of exhaustion than to starve to death and not find a job, right?"

There was a lot of discussion among everyone, with dialects from all over the world, which made Shao Nianshi a little confused, but he finally grasped a little bit of the theme of the topic itself.

So, his behavior that he was originally going to pedal changed in the past, and he slowly paced towards the opposite factory, and sure enough, he caught up with the half-grown young men who were notified by his family.

"Hey, what are you doing here, are you going to apply for a job?"

A few people with smart legs and feet are reluctant to deal with this strange person, who looks like a young master at a glance.

When they just glanced at Shao Nian with their eyes, they pursed their lips disdainfully, and kept running in the direction of the short man.

Only the slowest boy in the crowd had some kindness, he was a little different from the skinny children in front of him, he had a rare bit of blood, and even a circle of baby fat on his face.

As soon as he spoke, Shao Nianshi understood why the other party was so kind.

"Big, big brother, that's, that's the Japanese factory to recruit, recruit ......"

"Recruiting workers?"

"Yes! Recruit workers!"

He used to be a man of few words, probably no one was willing to talk to him in the past, but now there are young people who are willing to talk to him, but it doesn't show his enthusiasm.

On the other side is a small stammer, but it doesn't matter, as long as it can achieve the purpose of collecting intelligence when Shao Nian was in time, all he has to pay is patience.

So, one deliberately slowed down, and the other knew that his hope of being recruited into the factory was not great, so the two of them turned to the side of the road very tacitly, and after giving way to the road, they made it clear to Shao Nianshi about the recruitment of workers in the Japanese textile factory.

It turns out that there are three textile factories in this northwestern suburb, but the life of the workers looking for work here is really not very good.

Most of them were workers who had been deceived from the wharves, railway stations, and the labor market in Qingcheng in the early days of the textile mills.

These workers who came to Qingcheng from all over Shandong and even all over the country to look for opportunities and livelihoods did not know what kind of tiger and wolf's den they had entered in the factory.

In the first month or two, the workers in the Japanese textile factories were okay and were able to get their wages on time.

Although the wages offered by these Japanese managers are one or two dollars lower than the market price, they are still in a bleak period when it is not easy to find a job, not to mention the large number of workers they recruit.

So the workers are grateful for having a stable job.

As men who work hard to make money to support their families, if something big happens, they will not resign and leave easily.

But when they got done their jobs and their families moved from the city to the shack across the street from the factory, the factory's policy suddenly changed dramatically.

In order to prevent the loss of personnel, every month, the workers were paid only 80 percent of the wages promised by the factory.

As for the remaining 20 percent, it is pledged in the factory as a deposit, and after you have worked for three years, the mortgaged wages are returned to the workers.

If you want to make trouble, you can leave bare-bottomed immediately.

Not only can't I get back the 20% of the collateral, but I don't want to get this month's salary in my hands.

The workers and their families could only accept this.

Because if they quit for the sake of dissatisfaction and backbone, then they will face the dilemma of being penniless this month.

Eighty percent of the salary, tighten the belt and always live.

Then, it was precisely because of the compromise of life that the workers who were deeply trapped in the Japanese textile factories ushered in the oppression of those shameless Japanese people again and again.

After the period of wage seizure, there is an unlimited extension of working hours.

Everyone got up early to go to work, and working until eight or nine o'clock in the evening was the kindness of the factory to them.

If you are late for 10 consecutive days, or if you take more than 3 days of sick leave, then congratulations, you will be automatically dismissed from the factory with no severance pay and no deposit refund.

If that weren't enough, the Chinese workers couldn't walk through the same gate as the Japanese staff, and the fact that an underground tunnel had been dug specifically for the Chinese workers had already trampled their faces to the ground.

But in order to survive, in order for a family of several people to be able to eat a full meal, even if these people have to go down to the surface from a cellar-like passage at the side door to the surface of the nine steps when they go to work, and then walk through the courtyard wall and then walk up to the surface of the nine steps, commonly known as crossing an eighteen-story underworld, they all tried to endure it.

After all, as more and more small local factories close down, German textile mills have laid off their workers because of poor performance, and the only companies in Qingcheng that continue to recruit textile workers are these Japanese-owned textile factories.

This is also why the textile factories in Japan are so strict, and as soon as they release the recruitment notice, these people, who seem to have lost their spirits, seem to have the only remaining vitality, and rush towards the side door of the factory.

Because this represents a hope, the key to the survival of a family, if one of the family can find a job in the factory, then the salary of fifteen yuan a month is enough for a family of five to live well.

If there are two workers in a family, they will not only be fed and clothed, but they will also be able to provide for a child to be literate or a strong laborer to marry a daughter-in-law.

This money, in the eyes of Shao Nianshi now, can't even buy a decent set of clothes to wear, but in the eyes of those workers running in the wasteland, it is a huge amount of money that can survive.

"Oh, I see. ”

Shao Nianshi was not curious all of a sudden.

Because from these figures who are eager to live, he has found, hehe, the opportunity for him to dig into the foot of the wall at will.

At present, Dahua Textile Factory and China Printing and Dyeing Factory are still in the preparatory stage of building factories.

When they officially recruit workers from the society, it is the arrival of the barren period of employment for Japanese textile enterprises.

After all, whether he or Chen Jiefu, he can be regarded as an entrepreneur and businessman with some conscience.

While pursuing the expansion of interests to the greatest extent, they also pay great attention to the sustainable development of talents.

If you want to keep a factory up and running, it is useless to rely on high-pressure policies alone.

Shao Nianshi believed that as long as they Dahua released the news, not to mention half of the skilled workers here, at least thirty percent would be invested in his command.

And he also has a certain degree of understanding of the business model of the Japanese factory through this aspect.

At a time when the national situation is becoming more and more uncertain, it is inappropriate for Japanese managers to apply the same methods practiced by Japanese managers in China to private enterprises.

So, Shao Nianshi, a shareholder of Dahua who was grateful for the little stammering and kindness opposite, said to the little boy squatting beside him: "If I can find you a job, you can get 16 oceans a month, or the kind that doesn't need to deduct the deposit." ”

"Would you and your family be willing to move out of the shed where we live now and come with me to work in my factory?"

When the little stammerer heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

He was so excited that he didn't stumble for a moment: "Really, don't lie to me!"

"Go, of course I'll go!

Anyway, their house is just a broken shed made of tattered wood and discarded building materials.

Because of the tuberculosis caused by his father's work, their family will not be worse than now.

Instead of waiting here for an opportunity with no way forward, it is better to fight hard and put hope in this big brother who has inexplicably popped up, but at first glance does not look like an ordinary person.

After all, he was the only one who had the patience to listen to himself and never laughed at his own faults at all.

Seeing that this little stammerer agreed so happily, Shao Nianshi, who likes to deal with happy people, patted this kid on the shoulder: "Since this is the case, bring the family with you." ”

"Well, I'll tell you the address, can you remember it?"

"Forget it, I'll write while talking, even if you don't know how to read, with this note, you can find the address I gave you. ”

"I remember clearly, the gate is the Chinese printing and dyeing factory, and the construction site that goes inside is where you will work in the future. ”

"And it has a nice name, Dahua Textile Factory. ”
