Manager Fang was like sitting on pins and needles, discussing with the boss the style of his workers, which still made him very unconfident, he thought of a way, and said: "It is better to let the workers contact their families in China by themselves, and let the family introduce them to the object, so that there is an object, and the workers can also take care of it!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at Fang Bai and said, "These workers went abroad to work, and their families had already been broken by the matchmaker, right?" Going abroad to earn foreign exchange, what a big face in China, we workers don't have to worry about finding a partner! ”

Fang Bai smiled, nodded and said, "Mr. Lin, I really can't hide this from you!" We workers made money by the company to help remit back to China, only keep some pocket money, now everyone's relatives in the country are having a better life, others look greedy, the young men's families are almost to Zhang Luo object! ”

"That's good news!" Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile.

Lin Qiangsheng's salary to his compatriots is very high, the monthly salary is basically more than 1,200 US dollars, and the salary of skilled workers is higher, basically reaching a monthly salary of 2,000 US dollars, although it cannot be compared with the workers in the United States, but in China according to the exchange rate is more than four times, that is, 5,000 yuan per person per month, which is a great wage level in China in the mid-80s!

The wages and benefits of construction workers in the United States are very high, and this is not only the case in the table. In absolute terms, wages are much higher than those of construction workers in China and other developing countries. And it's higher than the average wage for workers in all industries in the United States.

Moreover, the wages mentioned here refer to the wages or salaries paid during regular working hours, excluding overtime bonuses, holiday allowances, insurance, pensions and other benefits.

Since the 40s of the 20th century, the average wage level of construction workers in the United States has maintained a high level of rise. Lin Qiangsheng remembers a report in his previous life that the average hourly wage of construction workers in the United States in 2002 was 12.51 US dollars, equivalent to 130 yuan (black market price). The monthly salary is more than $3,000. This level is higher than the average hourly wage of $17.75 for all occupations.

In 2006, the average hourly wage of $20.02 for construction workers was higher than the average wage for production workers in all major industries except the information industry, and higher than the average hourly wage of $19.00 for all employees in local and state government departments.

Moving bricks abroad is really profitable, especially those skilled jobs in the construction industry, such as water and electricity lines, which belong to the category of senior blue-collar workers in the United States.

In addition to having a salary that is higher than the average for all industries, the U.S. construction industry has a well-established benefits package that is higher than the average for all industries. as well as various subsidies and insurances.

With such high salaries, it's no wonder that more and more Mexicans and workers from other countries are coming to the United States to work in the construction industry.

In the United States, there are also regular and temporary workers, in the construction industry, the restaurant industry, the retail industry, and the domestic service industry. Temporary workers are particularly common and numerous. But these jobs are all foreigners' world, just compare the restaurant industry and the retail industry that need to show their faces, there is a difference between the front desk and the back office, basically white people and other races dominate the front desk, while Asians can only work in the back of the inconspicuous positions, such as washing dishes, cleaning and other shady jobs!

These industries are also home to a large number of illegal immigrants. The crime rate is particularly high, and people from Mexico, Africa, South America, Asia and Eastern Europe gather in the underappreciated corners of these industries, silently enduring, silently dedicating, taking the least wages and taking the greatest risks.

Moreover, as an illegal husband, you often encounter wage arrears, especially the patient Chinese, the boss will threaten to call the police to force the migrant workers away, and the average migrant worker is afraid of being repatriated and chooses to rest the matter!

Lin Qiangsheng wants to change this situation, break the impression that Chinese are kind and deceitful, and he wants to let Chinese occupy a place in the largest industry in the United States, this process is extremely difficult after all!

But the opportunity also exists, it's not impossible!

In the construction industry in the United States, there are also contractors and subcontractors who pit people. In a city like New York, where about 100,000 workers work in the construction industry, illegal employment in the construction industry is mainly found in small construction projects. In order to reduce costs, these project contractors often deduct workers' benefits. As a result, most of the illegal construction workers work in poor conditions, with low wages, and sometimes suffer from contractors who do not pay their salaries.

Temporary workers in the construction industry in the United States, most of whom are employed through employment agencies, earn an average of $6 to $8 per hour, with a maximum of $10 per hour. Temporary workers who are directly employed by contractors earn more than $6 to $25 an hour on average, but most workers earn an average of $40 to $60 a day. And illegal construction workers often have no medical benefits, no vacations, and no pay during sick leave.

Low pay is not the worst, but even worse is the encounter with contractors who don't pay a penny. A survey of daily paid temporary workers in New York found that about 50 percent of temporary construction workers had at least one experience of doing nothing.

Some contractors wait for the project to be completed and leave with money without paying the workers anything. Some contractors promised to pay their workers after receiving the payment for the work, coaxing them to continue working for free, and some even did not receive their wages for three months in a row.

In fact, the United States is not a paradise, just in the construction industry, full of illegal immigrants from all over the world, among which the good and the bad are uneven, and the personnel are inferior. And the unscrupulous contractor has taken a fancy to this, and the big fraud is simply the American version of the unspoken rules of the construction industry!

Lin Qiangsheng said to Fang Bai: "The workers have a partner at home, and they are counting on them to take care of it. Your method is only applicable to some honest people, and there are still some people who can't bear it, what should I do? And honest people also have times of indulgence, we can't control it! ”

Fang Bai opened his mouth and said with emotion: "The workers are not familiar with life in the United States, and they don't dare to go out after their work, so they can only stay on the construction site, or they will sleep a lot, and they really can't hold it back after a long time, and if they want to go out, I can only tell them to go around!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said: "You can't just tell it, this time Cheng Xiang met a Mexican girl like Leolia, if it is an American girl, even if the other party takes the initiative, her parents can still send Cheng Xiang to prison!" ”

"The U.S. government stipulates that 21-year-old adults, and ten-year-old foreign girls like Leoria look mature, similar to us Chinese in our 20s." If he meets an American parent, Cheng Xiang will be arrested according to a felony and will be sentenced to a serious crime, which is an extremely strict thing! ”

Manager Fang nodded and said, "I know, I'll find an opportunity to talk to the workers about this!" ”

This time it was a small project to build a training base on Lin Qiangsheng's own site, and the construction site was full of workers from China, with nearly two-thirds of Dongxing Properties' dispatched laborers.

Lin Qiangsheng said to the other manager: "In the future, there will be more and more workers from China, and the management will become more and more difficult. ”

"What then?" Manager Fang asked cautiously.

Lin Qiangsheng knocked on the armrest of the chair and said, "I plan to hire a general manager for the American branch of Dongxing Properties, a serious American, and let him form a complete company system and management team." In the near future, I will contact such a person, after the general manager takes office, you have to cooperate with him to manage, and at the same time learn more, and pick up the burden of this construction company! ”

Fang Bai said in surprise: "Mr. Lin, can I do it?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng patted Fang Bai on the shoulder and said: "Although you studied civil engineering in China, I think you still have a set of management, foreign managers manage the company system, you manage our workers, after all, I still have to rely on my own people!" ”

Fang Bai nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, you trust me so much, I will definitely do a good job!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "There is still something in front of me, I want to do it immediately, I will ask the local police station to send someone to publicize and explain the law of the United States, and the professional translators will be there in these two days!" ”

He said to Fang Bai: "In the United States, only by understanding the laws here can workers rely on the law to protect themselves when they encounter problems!" Not only the United States, but any other country in the future must rely on and respect local laws in order to protect themselves!

Moreover, I hired the local police, which is also a goodwill move, and it is also very important to have a good relationship with the local police system wherever our project goes! ”

Fang Bai wrote down these words in his notebook, and Lin Qiangsheng asked him again: "At present, how many compatriots in the company have obtained US green cards?" ”

Fang Bai thought for a while and said, "At present, there are only five people who have obtained green cards, and they are all engineers, and there are no workers!" ”

"Only five?" Lin Qiangsheng asked in surprise.

Fang Bai nodded and said, "These five engineers are still borrowed from you, some are engaged in hydropower and some are engaged in electricity, all of them are external!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng frowned and said to him: "This is not good, in the future, the company will increase the number of green cards among workers, and it is not possible to engage in the construction industry in the United States without joining the union, we must be generous in our business, not like those illegal workers, we can only do some small projects!"

In the future, we will not only increase the number of green cards, but also let employees become naturalized and have the right to vote and be elected, so that we can find political spokespersons, earn the interests of our own ethnic groups, and compete with other ethnic groups! ”
