In Lorraine's concept, anything that money can solve is not a difficult problem.

This sentence is not a declaration of all evils of capitalists, but combined with the education received in two lifetimes, he found that [money] was originally a concept that appeared to solve problems.

Time cost, creative cost, execution cost, risk cost, data cost......

All the factors that human beings need to solve problems can be converted into [money] at the end of the day, and the power of the general equivalent is like this.

With this understanding, Lorraine's thinking inevitably skewed towards the position of conscientious capitalists.

When the sailors were tired, they let go of the supply of coffee and tea, and at the same time distributed rum in per capita rations, stimulating the spirits with biostimulants.

Luckily the horseshoe was pinned, so it gave up the small profits at your fingertips, and chose a more optimal plan with increased risks and profits than those that rose.

It's like equating money with priceless life, but there's nothing wrong with it in this day and age.

Priceless means that the value is not constant, and variables mean that there are peaks and valleys, and in this era, the value of human life is undoubtedly at the bottom.

Human life is worthless.

On British soil, children with infinite possibilities are regarded as consumables to the workshop, and in the vast non-white world, labour is priced at only five to fifteen pounds.

Sailors were considered the most valuable skilled trade of the era, so navies kidnapped them with whips and torture, and pirates lured them with limited democracy and freedom.

The Chamber of Commerce is one of the most humane ways to find employment, but the average salary of a sailor in the industry is only barely close to the middle-class salary of £27-32 a year, and more than 70% of employment contracts do not contain clauses related to guarantees, promotions and pensions.

In other words, sailors are clearly risking their lives like soldiers to earn a salary, but not only are they not respected, but they are not only not preserved, but they are not guaranteed their future.

In this regard, the Drake Chamber of Commerce was ahead of its time in its early days.

Although Lorraine did not deliberately provide sailors with above-market remuneration, he did not withhold the promised pension even when the funds were insufficient.

And after Hebasil's expedition, Lorraine, who earned the first pot of gold, was no longer trapped by money, and finally had the ability to implement his ideas.

This idea is the Drake Chamber of Commerce's unique "Professional Employment Contract", or Boatswain Contract for short.

This long-term contract is a sign of the formation of the Drake Chamber of Commerce's corporate culture, which fundamentally widens the gap between them and their peers in the sailor employment environment.

The Employment Contract for Professionals is a comprehensive employment contract for sailors, not just sailors.

For about five years, in addition to a high annual salary of £60, he was entitled to an eighteen-month pension with renewed pay and the privilege of disability transfer without termination.

In addition to this, the first covenant also enjoys two special benefits.

First of all, a long-term sailor can introduce an adult family member to a special family contract without the test.

The annual salary of the family contract is only 12 pounds, but as a land position, the chamber will provide the contractor with a lower and middle level of room and board, a relatively fixed commute time, one day of vacation per week, and the length of service multiplied by three, up to a maximum of 15 days of free annual leave.

These benefits created a stable source of income for the family, ensuring that even if the long-term sailor died, his family could survive under the care of the Chamber of Commerce.

Secondly, a long-term sailor can recommend a minor family member to receive free education from the Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce has its own staff school in Southampton, and Kingston's staff school is steadily under construction.

It is a two-year vocational school that teaches theology, mathematics, sales, accounting, hospitality, administration, etc., with additional training in dance, fashion and make-up for women and martial arts, boating and carpentry for men.

In addition, long-term employees can also recommend students to school at their own expense, no longer limited to immediate family members, but the full tuition fee of the school is as high as £30, and most of the employees' families still cannot afford this expensive education unless they receive a full scholarship for the first subject.

Security and education, Lorraine used these two benefits to draw a big pie for the outstanding employees loyal to the Chamber, so that they would no longer live in fear and begin to be entitled to fantasize about a stable and high-quality life on the ground.

What's more, the contents of the boatswain's covenant are much more than the initial covenant.

Employees who have completed five years of contract performance, or who have been recommended by a branch director or above during the performance process, can get a lifelong renewal opportunity.

The renewal of the contract is no longer limited to the age of 50 for men and 45 for women.

During the performance of the contract, the minimum guaranteed salary of the employee was raised to £80 per annum, the family contract was upgraded to a long-term initial contract, and the recommendation of all children in the immediate family to receive free education was permitted.

And after the renewal period expires, the Chamber of Commerce also prepares the most special re-employment contracts for talents with special talents or special dedication.

With a guaranteed annual salary of £200, full medical and funeral coverage, and as long as they are loyal and useful to the Chamber, the Chambers are willing to make their employees rich for the rest of their lives until death.

With the three related contracts made public by the pair, Lorraine successfully established the Drake Chamber of Commerce as the most centripetal force among the medium-sized chambers of commerce, and the most favored choice for the best sailors.

It's not that he hasn't considered the possibility of other chambers of commerce following suit.

However, most of the truly top-scale chambers of commerce have their own talent training systems, and there are few chambers of commerce at the same level that are more well-funded than him, and the speed of information dissemination in this era cannot be compared with that of later generations......

More than a year after the contract was launched, Drake is still unique in the talent market.

Maybe...... This is the process of those top chambers of commerce to establish a talent training system, right?

Lorraine didn't know.

He only knew that even if he did not put forward plans that would put huge pressure on the finances of the Chamber of Commerce, such as work-related injuries, medical treatment, housing, and general pensions, even if the Chamber of Commerce had actually signed less than 300 initial contracts and less than 20 renewed contracts, he had successfully won the hearts of the people.

Especially after the establishment of the Caribbean Chapter, the first long-term sailors represented by Daddy Leonard came ashore and were reused, and there was no longer a problem of morale and willingness on his ship.

The sailors unabashedly supported him and cooperated with him, whether they were involved in treasonous smuggling activities or taking on difficult combat missions, and they gladly accepted and did their best to contribute their strength to Lorraine's will.

Obviously, the partnership between them is solid, with money as a medium and ending with emotion.

Lorraine knew that he had the hopes of countless sailors to settle down and start a career, and he had no obligation to these expectations, but in the process of his success, he would surely fulfill the expectations of countless others.

Like a savior......

In the direction of the stern, the plume of smoke rising from the sunken slave ship was fading.

In the direction of the bow, the cannon roared, the blockade battle of the first and fifth shipping lanes had begun, and the fourth channel of the decisive battle, the huge Andean had already rushed out of the islands and reefs.

The time is just right......

Lorraine glanced at the battle flags fluttering on the tip of the mast, the mainmast in the center was a brightly colored rice flag representing the naval background, the first mast was a pansy of the Chamber of Commerce representing the status of employment, and the rear mast was the red and white St. George guardian representing the homeland of the Golden Hart.

The hint is obvious enough.

Compared with badgers and wasps, who do not retreat and are prone to give birth to the heart of death, armed merchant ships that generally lack the will to fight and combat standards are obviously more suitable targets for the flag.

For the sake of victory, sink me......

Lorraine looked at the approaching Andes, and her mind was magically out of battle.

What's next? Guide sailors to form a crew union?

Trade unions are an inevitable product of the development of employee treatment to a certain extent, because it is becoming more and more difficult to negotiate with the capitalists, and the naturally weak sailors are bound to unite and pursue the collective demands together.

Lorraine covered her mouth and fell into deep thought.

"Even if there is a historical inevitability in the emergence of trade unions, then it is more beneficial for me to guide the establishment, such as facilitating the theft of the leadership of trade unions, designing an electoral system that is favorable to capital, and allowing trade unions to deteriorate ahead of schedule...... What else? ”

In the murmur, the decisive battle will start......
