Act IX Conquest
In recent years, except for those extremely wealthy factories, most of the factories recruited workers by posting a recruitment notice at the door of the factory.
Don't think that such a remote factory can't hire workers.
In 1859, almost a year after the gold rush, the economy returned to depressed America. Those workers who need work are like dogs looking for work in rotting flesh.
Within half an hour of posting the job posting written by Doug himself, more than 20 people had already gathered at the door.
As for why Doug is hiring?
Do you think there is a factory that will continue to maintain workers when there is no capacity?
This was an era when there was no law to enforce labor guarantees, and it was the best age for industrial capitalists.
"Which of you has ever worked in a dyeing factory?"
"Me!"
"Me!!"
"Me!"
"I !!!"
"Who among you is literate?"
"Me!"
"Me!!"
"I !!"
……
Standing high up on the steps, Doug asked question after question.
Unlike Australia, where the penal colony is, modern America is built on the Maitans of the Mayflower.
The Puritans had the following characteristics.
1. Be ruthless to yourself, very self-disciplined, and not very greedy for material enjoyment.
Second, pay attention to knowledge and be more educated.
These characteristics are undoubtedly in line with industrialization.
Therefore, the United States, which has a short history, has been able to develop rapidly at a speed that surpasses that of other countries.
The industrial population, which is precious in any country, is not scarce in the newly industrialized country of the United States.
Of course, the vast majority of immigrants who come to the eastern United States from all over the world fantasize about working here for a few years, saving up money, and then going to the west to buy a piece of wasteland and become a leisurely landowner.
This is the American dream that the US government and the capitalists have worked together to extract cheap labor.
Doug looked down at one young face after another, and from the color of their hair, eyes, and skin tones, as well as their respective positions, it was possible to roughly distinguish their ethnicity and relatives.
Anglo-Saxon, Irish, German, Italian.
Doug judged from his surname and appearance that he was most likely German, but that was no reason for him to recruit Germans.
Because he didn't have half an understanding of the damned Germany, and the same was true of Ireland, England, Italy.
Therefore, he intends to recruit a few workers of each race, so that they can check and balance each other, so as to avoid the absurdity of one race becoming bigger and negotiating terms with him, the boss.
"You, you, and you. ”
Doug's hand kept tapping, depending on the skin tone, hair color, and the way each person stood.
Those who were ordered were overjoyed, and those who were not ordered were depressed.
Just when Doug ordered six people, estimated that it was enough for the time being, and wanted to stop, a girl suddenly heard in the distance, "Wait." ”
Doug looked up, and five seconds later, he saw a group of aggressive women walking this way.
The red-haired woman is wrapped in a headscarf, and the skin on her face is rough but childish.
She stood at the bottom of the steps, looked up at Doug above, and said without humility or arrogance, "You want to recruit here?"
"Yes, but you're late, you've recruited enough. Doug gestured to the six men he had just picked out.
The red-haired girl in her overalls looked at the six men, and a sneer immediately appeared on her face, "Heh, do you want to hire them?"
"Why not?" asked Doug rhetorically.
"You don't know what kind of people to hire!" the worker-like girl took a step forward, looking up at Doug with her chest held high, like Mai Mang on the tip of a needle.
"Oh, then tell me what kind of people I should hire, people like you?" Doug smiled slightly, dissolving the-for-tat atmosphere.
The demands and routines of the woman or girl in front of her are very easy to understand, which is nothing more than to give yourself a disadvantage first, and then let yourself hire a group of women.
Now that I have a judgment in my heart, I will continue to watch her perform.
"He, Jacob, stole three times from the factory where he used to work!"
"He's got a sex sickness!"
……
"He's Nathan, notoriously cheating!"
"Also, do you really expect them to be literate? They can't even write their own names, and you still expect them to be literate!??"
"So, you shouldn't hire them, you should hire us, the dyeing factory is where women should work!" said the red-haired woman, patting her chest.
The men who had just heard her speak on the side looked very angry. But no one came up to deal with this person who "insulted" them, I guess what he said is true?
Doug shook his head slightly disappointed, he originally wanted to watch a scene of two groups of stray dogs, fighting for food, dog-eat-dog, but it's a pity that the male dog is not doing anything here!
Doug didn't really care about the news that the female worker in front of him broke. He didn't really want to be an industrialist, and he didn't have the heart to select workers.
All he wanted was the factory to get up and running and give him a chance to tell a story.
Whether it is "ecological anti" or "suffocating for dreams", he has never thought of making a fortune honestly with industry.
What about sneaky?
What about sexual (harmony) diseases?
What about stealing and slipping?
It's not that you can't ask for it!
It's just that......
Doug now has a new choice, this strong woman in front of him.
He was not interested in her revelations, but in her character. This kind of strong personality looks like a natural manager, if the printing and dyeing factory can be managed by her, the production efficiency and profit will be higher than a group of garbage in any case.
Doug squinted his eyes at the six men he had just chosen to appear to be "eyeless".
Among the six men, Nathan, who is the most cheating and tricky, knows what Doug is thinking as soon as he comes into contact with Doug's eyes.
He didn't want to lose his job, so he took a step forward and yelled at the red-haired woman, "Rose, you...... You don't want to take your job away from us!"
The red-haired Rose didn't care at all, she raised her head and looked at Doug, "It's all up to Your Excellency the Factory Owner's choice. ”
Doug didn't have stage fright when he heard that he was being dragged into the water, he first turned his head to the six men on the other side and said, "I'm sorry, it looks like you guys are really not very suitable to be workers......
He spoke slowly, not because he wasn't fast, but because he wanted to see the guys' expressions change.
At the moment when their faces were calm, as if they were about to drip water, Doug continued, "However, I think my printing and dyeing factory lacks a few security guards, do you want to be security guards?"
Most of the people present felt a sense of paradox when they heard Doug's words.
Let people who are accustomed to sneaking around be security guards, wouldn't this make rats look at the rice barn, waiting to be stolen by the guards?
However, Doug's expression is very confident, he doesn't care about a person's past, he never believes in personal conduct, he only believes in the power of the system.
His eyes met that of Jacob, who had been thinking of luck and immediately fell to the bottom. Under the scorching sun, he was in a cold sweat behind his back, and he believed that as long as he took a little thing from the printing and dyeing factory, his hands would definitely be cut off.
Satisfied with the menace in her eyes, Doug turned to look at Rose.
There were no less than ten female workers with Rose, and of course he could not have accepted them all.
"Including you, I can ask for six female workers. The requirements are the same as before, I'll give you two minutes, you can pick yourself. ”
After Doug finished speaking, he continued to watch the play, looking at the little woman Ross, to see how she was going to choose people.
As for whether the person she chooses, loyal to herself, will unite against herself, Doug doesn't care.
To put an outline and grasp the main contradiction, it is enough to make Ross kneel down and sing conquest to himself, isn't it?
