867 Characteristic grazing at the Wonder Ranch

(Thanks to my friend Sacred Heart Flying, a pot of Pu'er, and passing by the 6 month ticket encouragement)

The cleaning of the house is not so easy to complete, and after lunch, everyone is engaged in the vigorous cleaning.

While he was busy, Fernando approached him, and Rodriguez, the president of the labor union with whom he had made an appointment, had arrived at the ranch.

"Mr. Dexter, it seems that I was lucky to have met you on my first visit. After seeing Liu Heming, Rodriguez said very enthusiastically.

"I'm afraid of your people coming, because as long as your union people come, I'm sure there will be a lot of things going on here. Liu Heming quipped.

"Sorry, I just came back and was cleaning, come with me to the conference room. Fernando, you too, I don't know as much about the situation in the ranch as you do. ”

Coming to the conference room, Liu Heming turned out the cigar box and put it to the side. I'm not familiar with Rodriguez yet, and it's up to him to smoke or not.

"Mr. Dexter, I've talked to Fernando before I came here, and I don't know if you can hire more American workers on your ranch. Rodriguez asked straight to the point.

"This question is actually a big headache for us ranchers or farmers. Liu Heming said with a wry smile.

"From the first day of the recruitment process on my farm, we took this aspect very seriously. But unfortunately, even though the wages we pay are not low, much higher than the minimum hourly wage announced by your labor union, not many people are willing to work on my ranch. ”

"If I remember correctly, your latest standard is a little over $10 even in California, and now the workers on our ranches are paid as little as $15 an hour and as high as nearly $20. ”

"And that's not even counting the benefits that we've given them, like the housing, food, and sanitation that you're asking for. ”

"I can't say that my welfare standards here are the best in the country, but I can responsibly say that they are at the top level at the moment. ”

"I think you have a problem that has never been considered as a phenomenon, and that is that the lack of American workers on the ranch is not because of us ranchers or farmers, but because American workers don't want to do this kind of hard work. ”

"Fernando, how many American workers are hired in our ranch, and what is the situation?" Liu Heming turned his head to look at Fernando and asked.

"Boss, we have hired a total of one hundred and sixty-two ranch workers, but only seventy-three people are able to work in the ranch now. Fernando said.

Liu Heming looked at Rodriguez and shrugged his shoulders.

Rodriguez smiled wryly and nodded, he was still well aware of such a common situation. It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he met Liu Heming, he told him about it.

From this point, it can be seen that this Dexter is really disgusted with the labor union.

"Mr. Dexter, this is indeed an important issue at the moment. So is it possible to create some jobs on your ranch such as herding cowboys, even if they pay less? Rodriguez said.

"I think many people are still very enthusiastic about this job, so you can also ease the employment conflict, and our work will be much easier. ”

"Mr. Rodriguez, the person who is now in charge of herding on the ranch, is a project that we have with the U.S. Department of Veterans Services. Fernando spoke.

"Some of them are disabled people, and some of them are soldiers who have been left with mental illness on the battlefield and need to be recuperated. There are currently one hundred and seven people on the ranch, which is much more than the requirements for herders. ”

"So the extra people will help take care of the wildlife in the ranch. Frankly, the value they create is much lower than the amount of money we put in them. ”

Rodriguez didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do. These veterans are indeed more likely to be cared for than those who are physically and mentally sound.

"Mr. Rodriguez, you may not believe it. In my pasture, it is actually possible to graze without artificial grazing. With these animals at home, I can take care of the herding work completely. Liu Heming said with a smile.

"Haha, let's go outside. It can also give you some insight into the work on my ranch, in fact, we also want more American workers to work on my ranch, and I don't want to be protested any longer. ”

Rodriguez smiled and nodded, and followed Liu Heming outside.

They are just a coordinated department, but with the development of the economy, the current contradictions are becoming more and more prominent, which makes them also have a headache.

There are many jobs on the side of Magic Ranch, and he really hopes that Liu Heming can listen to persuasion, give up some interests, and then hire more American workers.

Liu Heming randomly found three horses, and then the three of them got on the horses and walked towards the grazing area deep in the pasture.

There was no need to hurry, Fernando was in charge of giving Rodriguez a briefing on the situation in the ranch, and he called some lions, tigers and wolves by the way.

"Bolt, why did you come here to be lazy?" Liu Heming asked with a smile after seeing that the bolt was also here.

"Haha, boss, now that Robin is at the police station, we can all be lazy. Is there anything here?" asked Bolt as he rode over.

"This is Rodriguez, the president of the labor union, and I told him about the way we graze on our pasture. Liu Heming explained.

After saying that, he jumped off his horse and came to the group of small animals that were about to graze, "Children, I will assign you some work today." Don't let those sheep run away, go ahead. ”

Rodriguez was still curious, thinking that he thought it was unrealistic for Liu Heming to say that it was possible to graze without artificial grazing. But after he saw Liu Heming finish speaking, these lions, tigers and wolves scattered and ran away, and then grazing seriously on the edge of a few sheep, he didn't know what to say.

"They will drive the sheep back to the pen when the weather gets dark, and they will also guard the door of the sheepfold to prevent them from sneaking out at night. Liu Heming said with a smile.

"And what about the cows that sit and rest?" Rodriguez asked, looking into the distance.

"They're even less manageable. There is a leader cow in every herd, and they can manage the herd themselves without us having to worry about it at all. Liu Heming said.

"So, do you think I still need a lot of cowboys on my ranch? Actually, these are the people now, and the more work is to clean up the manure of these cows and sheep. ”

"These are the people who can do the job, but a lot of the American workers we hire can't. Compared to the planting job, this job is the easiest in the pasture. ”

"What about the industries in your ranch, such as fertilizer mills and flour mills, wineries. "Rodriguez is making a final effort.

"There are indeed some places there, but they are reserved for some residents of Xiangshui Town and the families of the workers in the ranch in the future. Liu Heming said.

"I want to develop not only the ranch, but also the town of Xiangshui. The degree of mechanization of these industries is very high, and the demand for workers is much less than that of planting or breeding. ”

"We really want to be able to recruit workers, just like we're not just running recruitment ads on your side, we're also hanging on our ranch's website. ”

"If it weren't for the proportion of American employees, I would have recruited all the people on my ranch by now. These foreign workers are very satisfied with the salary and the job. ”

"Everybody wants to find a job that is easy but very lucrative, but as a manager, I can't hire idlers, I need these people to make my farm work. ”

"I think you labor unions should not only think about the workers, but also from our point of view. This problem has been going on for so long, and it can't be said that it has anything to do with the fact that some ranches want to hire cheap black workers, but I think the more important thing is the concept of American workers. ”

"The high unemployment rate of low-end workers in the United States is not because of the migrant workers who have taken their jobs, but because they have already delivered them to them, and they disdain them. ”

"Some people are even more interested in receiving government benefits than working. Because as long as they have income from their jobs, this benefit is cut off. ”

Rodriguez's heart was a little bitter, Liu Heming had blocked all the possibilities of coming over this time. He doesn't make changes in hiring for the sake of social impact.

At this time, the tearing family group also ran over from a distance, and they were pure nonsense. Especially Erha, he directly pounced on the sheep and ran around in it.

A gray wolf who is in charge of taking care of this flock is very unhappy, and they are doing a good job, but you come to make trouble? A small runner also rushed into the flock, and then drove Erha out.

Erha is also not to be outdone, and he confronted others for a while. It's just that in terms of momentum and physique, it is much worse than the wolf, and it didn't take long for his belly to show out.

The wolf didn't bother to look at it, and ran away again and lay down. Erha, ran to Liu Heming's side upside up, now he has the backbone, and he jumped and barked at the wolf.

"Okay, people don't take you seriously, what are you screaming about. Liu Heming jumped off the horse, patted it on the body, and said helplessly.

Erha glanced at him pitifully, and his mouth was also very aggrieved and hummed.

Liu Heming had no choice but to carry it to the saddle and let it stand on the horse and play.
