Chapter 143: Captives become employees
Got together and talked about the situation, Wang Feng was very concerned about Hong Shun and his logistics soldiers, Ma Shuyuan said that he also learned about the situation after he came, these pirates really didn't work for long, and those previous backbones were very stubborn, so they resisted desperately, refused to surrender, and were all wiped out.
Hong Shun is actually a simple soldier, and his thoughts are not so complicated. He just wants to find a military environment to live in, and he is also a guy who likes excitement and is not tolerant of loneliness.
It's quite a temper with the brothers.,At the beginning, there was a little bit of competition.,No one was convinced.,Later, I also saw the brothers' skills.,Now I've put away my arrogance.,Approachable.。
Those captives are now treated better than they were pirates before, they are well fed and clothed, and they don't beat or scold. In the past, the leader was extremely strict with his subordinates, and there was a danger of losing his head if he was not careful, and he didn't treat them as human beings at all, so they didn't have any rebellion against us, but they were very happy, and they were not lazy in their work, they were all from poor families, who would be pirates with good conditions?
Ma Shuyuan even wanted to select some of them to train and form a new combat detachment. Recently, he has been hanging out with these people every day, learning their language, and getting closer to them.
These guys are all locals, familiar with the terrain, climate habits, excellent physical strength, and strong tenacity, if they are trained well, they may not be qualified fighters.
He already has a preliminary list in his heart, all of them are good seedlings in his mind, needless to say, he has the vision of a challenger, Wang Feng has complete trust in him.
However, Ma Shuyuan's suggestion is a bit too whimsical, isn't it? Although everyone did not express resolute opposition when he said it, they all showed a little hesitation, after all, it was only a few months of work, and he was still a life-and-death enemy before, but now he has suddenly become a comrade-in-arms?
After all, they have Filipinos, Burmese, Indonesians, and some Thais. Isn't it a joke that there are difficulties in language communication, so fighting together?
Wang Shulin said, then we will really become a multinational force. Ma Shuyuan disagreed, as long as he was an excellent and loyal soldier, it didn't matter which country he was from.
Feelings can be cultivated slowly, and cooperative operations can be trained slowly, but these are all good seedlings, and if they are allowed to do logistics, they will be bad talents.
Wang Feng was also a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Ma Shuyuan said was not unreasonable. What I lack most now is manpower, and if I pull up dozens of people, of course, it will be good.
So Wang Feng agreed in principle, but he still had to be cautious, he didn't care what to do, but the requirements must be carefully selected, rather than indiscriminate, qualifications are important, but character is more important, and you must not accept those slippery and treacherous people, otherwise a mouse feces will spoil a pot of soup, and if it doesn't work, you can also be pulled back to Haicheng to do closed training in the camp.
Ma Shuyuan said that there is no need for that, but I will be cautious and cautious, as for Hong Shun, Ma Shuyuan feels that if he is asked to do logistics work, it will bury him a bit. Wang Feng said that these multinational troops should be brought by you in person or handed over to Wang Shulin, they can also be done, Hong Shun is not suitable to be their officer anymore, you can let him do it first, and if there are new recruits coming over after a while, you can consider bringing them to him.
Everyone nodded yes, it makes sense, and it's good for Hong Shun. Ma Shuyuan said that this person has a strong sense of responsibility, but also a person who can't be idle, during this period of time to build the wharf, he has also paid a lot of effort, but also to appease the emotions of his subordinates, and try to do a good job to meet the construction requirements, I think his enthusiasm for building a port is higher than mine.
Wang Shulin also smiled and said No, the shutdown on a windy day just watched him wander alone on the unrepaired dock, as if he was in a hurry or something. I asked him what are you doing here? He scolded this ghost for not being good at the weather, which affected the progress of his project.
Such a person is really strange, and he did it purely out of his own will, and he didn't mean to please Wang Feng at all.
This is the spirit of work, Wang Feng sighed, and felt more and more that Hong Shun was a usable talent. In the evening, a simple fireworks show was held on the island, which was regarded as welcoming Wang Feng and them back, and the workers on the dock also participated together, eating fresh vegetables and meat newly shipped, and drinking beer specially brought by Wang Feng, and there was no limit, and they could drink as much as they could, except for those on duty, of course.
Fortunately, the brothers were fine, but the former captives and now dockers were overjoyed, nothing like this had happened before. Wang Feng is considered the leader, but he doesn't have a fight at all, he treats everyone equally, and he is very kind when he talks and laughs. After a night of carnival, the next day they all mustered up the energy to unload the goods, and Wang Feng gathered them together again to start paying wages.
These workers are actually quite satisfied with their current life, and now Ma Shuyuan and they basically don't restrict their activities, and they can wander around the whole island casually, except for a few forbidden areas, even if you lie on the beach and sleep on the beach, no one cares.
If you like to fish, you can fish, you can catch crabs, and even drive a small boat out for a few miles to cast nets Ma Shuyuan, and let them pay attention to safety.
The food Ma Shuyuan ate was basically the same as them, and sometimes even this chief even went to their camp to eat. Three meals a day are all served on time, all of them are unlimited, as long as you can eat, they are enough, which is less than when I was a pirate in the past. At that time, if there was no operation at sea, only one meal a day was served, and it was limited.
Because the pirate leader thinks that idle people should be like this, and if they don't do things, then they need to eat so much? Isn't it a waste of food, how precious is food?
He himself eats several meals a day, and his mouth is full of oil. Everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak, who dares to be dissatisfied is a severe beating without discussion, and it is not unheard of to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
One is tyrant-style management, and the other is humanized management, and everyone doesn't have a point in their hearts about which is better or worse? Hong Shun has already promised them, saying that he has reached an agreement with Wang Feng, and Wang Feng has promised to give them an appropriate amount of wages and distribute them according to their work.
Everyone is grateful to Hong Shun and Wang Feng for this, but if they don't give them salaries, they don't have any opinions to be honest, and it's good to be alive without eating and drinking.
Wang Feng has never been stingy with his subordinates, he will feel distressed when he spends too much on a meal, he will feel distressed when he buys an expensive dress, and he will not blink an eye at his brothers no matter how much money he spends.
Although these workers were born as captives, Wang Feng did not treat them as slaves. Not only did he set their salaries, but he also had them make a salary attendance sheet, counting their names and home addresses.
It's good that they don't have to pay five insurances, and there is no personal insurance, because even if you want to do it for them, there is nowhere to do it. Wang Feng didn't save the labor cost of building the wharf this time, so he hit them on their heads, but Ma Shuyuan said that it couldn't be paid according to the wages of overseas workers in China, and what else was there to go to sea, meat and vegetable subsidies, etc., which was too high and unreasonable.
Wang Feng knew that Ma Shuyuan meant that he couldn't get used to problems, so the two discussed it and gave it according to the compromise plan. Each person will send 6,000 yuan, and if they need to mail it home, they will write the address in a unified manner, and Wang Feng will send someone to help them exchange it for the local currency or US dollars or euros, and mail it directly from China.
If you want to buy something, fill out the declaration form every time the ship comes, and bring it with you the next time the cargo comes. Everyone was gathered and didn't know what was going on, and they were a little nervous, but when they heard that it was good news, they couldn't help but cheer. Every time he announced it, he cheered once, and he couldn't control the joy in his heart, and Hong Shun shouted a few times before suppressing it.
Some of the guys sat on the ground and cried when they received the money, and they had never received a penny of salary since they became pirates, but they made money as prisoners.
It's really a joke of fate, where does everything start? But Wang Feng also said that this is the corresponding remuneration according to the labor paid by everyone, and in the future, there will be an attendance sheet, and there will be any sick leave.
In half a month, the civil engineering project will begin, Wang Feng hopes that everyone will have a good rest for a few days, and then work hard for a few months, when the bonus will be there, the food will also be strengthened, and you can also consider giving each person a little wine a day to relieve fatigue. Of course, there is spiritual encouragement, but it is mainly a material reward, Wang Feng is a doer, and he knows that empty words are useless.
So the crowd was excited, saying that he must work hard and live up to the boss's trust Yunyun, anyway, Wang Feng didn't understand a sentence. Then it was even more lively, there were many people who wanted to write family letters, but there were also illiterate people, so they could only beg others to write. Others hope that it is just a message, and those who do not have family make a list to buy what they want.
There are people who buy everything, alcohol, cigarettes, and even tobacco leaves, as well as medicines, food, and most of them buy semiconductor radios, and naturally they also need batteries, and this is the sea, and only radios can be used as a source of information about the outside world. Originally, they couldn't think of it at all, but when they saw that Ma Shuyuan had one in his pocket, their eyes were very hot.
There are also those who want to buy a mobile phone, and it's okay if there is no power, so just buy it. What cameras, clothes, shoes, messy just counting this almost drove the guy in charge crazy.
The main reason is that the language is not comprehensible, and it also needs to be translated and checked, and it is always a mess, but this is a gratifying phenomenon, noisy but very popular.
The cargo ship left the port and continued to carry supplies. There is a construction team here this time, mainly technicians, more than 100 people are enough to work, and now they are basically mechanized, and the manpower is not too much. The project on the island is not small, but it is not too big, and more than 100 people plus technicians are enough to complete it.
What is existing on the island is sand, and Wang Feng bought a second-hand sand mining boat in order to save trouble, which is only tens of thousands of yuan, but it may save a lot of trouble, anyway, there is not much money, and it is not distressing to throw it away when it is used up.
Some of the stones on the island have been seen and used by the technicians who built the port before, and they can fully meet the construction requirements. These two things don't have to be transported thousands of miles away.
But reinforced concrete, as well as steel plate angles, hollow bricks, and other things will have to be transported by freighters. Wang Feng stayed on the island for a whole month, taking a group of brothers around to investigate and inspect every day, and almost all over the island.
Because there are so many things to investigate, it is necessary to find a suitable location to build a headquarters, an information department, the location of the barracks, the location of the watchtower, the cold storage, and so on.
When the freighter arrived, all the urgently needed supplies and personnel were brought in, and after a day's rest, they returned to continue delivering supplies. The whole island immediately turned into a large construction site, and during the day it was filled with the roar of machinery and trucks, full of people and traffic, but it was well organized.
