Chapter 51 Foreigners love their country more than money
Riding in a Dodge truck and driving at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour on a potholed dirt road, modern people can't imagine that kind of suffering.
At the unloading dock of Tianjin Port, the second master and Tan Sanye jumped out of the cockpit. Even if they are sitting in the sealed cockpit, the two of them are disgraced at this time, where is the demeanor of everyone's son? Whole two groundhogs.
The bodyguard and the driver sitting in the back compartment are even more embarrassed! In addition to the fact that his eyes are clean, his face is covered with dust, and he can't recognize who is who at all.
The second master looked at it, it was not a matter. So he took out the silver and asked Xiao Dezi to lead everyone to find a bathhouse and wash and wash. The second master himself took advantage of no one, closed the door of the cockpit of the car, dodged into the space, and used the purification function of the space platform to quickly remove the dust.
Then he got off the bus and walked to the berth where the port freighter docked.
"Oh! My God! Dear Eric, you have finally appeared! ”
Pete saw the second master who was leading the first mate into the warehouse and shouted excitedly.
"Pete! Why did you come here in person? You're a new millionaire now! How can you do what your subordinates have to do? ”
"Erik, you don't know. Many of the people you recruited regretted before they got on board. I had no choice but to accompany them to China. ”
The second master smiled:
"Pete, come with you, and they'll be able to stay?"
"Haha~~~ Eric, you don't understand Americans! At the very least, I'm a new millionaire. So, my accompaniment can give them confidence. ”
"That's it! Pete, gather them all! I have something to say to them. ”
The second master also thought about it clearly at this time, the twisted melon is not sweet, if you really don't want to stay, let them go back with Pete.
"Gentlemen! Hello! Everyone should know me, I'm your employer, Eric Chang. I've heard that a lot of people who signed employment agreements with me are now repentant? Is it? ”
Looking at the black press, 268 various technicians gathered on the dock from the various cargo ships.
The second master is a little sorry for these talents, none of whom are his subordinates.
"Mr. Eric! When you signed the agreement with me, didn't you say that you were going to China's poorest northwest? ”
A tall, blonde foreigner lined up and walked to the front. When the second master saw it, he understood what was going on.
Originally, these talents selected by the second master in the United States are the most unambitious people in various industries, and they can no longer mix in the factories and mines of various enterprises in the United States, and they will soon be impoverished. Why are you still nostalgic for life in the United States?
Even if he is a patriot and does not want to serve other countries. But the salary given by the second master is twice that of the United States, and with various subsidies far from their homeland, they get more than five times the salary they get in the United States. What's more, if they stay in the country, they face the risk of losing their jobs and having no income?
At that time, when the contract was signed, everyone was willing and happy. How do you regret it as soon as you get on board? If no one instigates and takes the lead, the second master will not believe it. I just don't know how many people are picking?
"Oh! This gentleman, I don't know what your name is? ”
The second master asked with a smile and a non-threatening kindness.
"Hello! Mr. Eric! I'm Riley John from New York, and I'm a professor of medicine at a university. ”
As soon as he said this, the second master remembered that in order to establish a comprehensive university in Xinjiang, he did recruit a group of university professors or teaching assistants.
"Alright! Professor John! I think you've read the treaty carefully before signing the agreement! ”
"Yes, Mr. Eric! But there is no treaty in the treaty that allows us to go to the great northwest of China! ”
"Huh! But it didn't say that you wouldn't go to the Great Northwest, did you? Anyway, it's all in China. I'm not breaking the contract. ”
The second master sneered in his heart, he plagiarized the most coherent employment contract in later generations. Even in later generations, any elite lawyer hired by Party B could not find any faulty terms of employment, and in 1914 you would have picked out the loopholes by you, a medical professor who was not a law major? Have you given 100 years of experience in the development of human beings in vain?
"Alright! I won't say anything else. All you have to do is tell me the last two treaties of this contract. ”
"You're an unequal treaty!"
John certainly knew what the last two treaties were! So, a little annoyed. The second master doesn't care about his anger at all, this kind of racial white-skinned pig who is used to being a "foreign uncle" is a scourge to stay in China. So from the beginning of his life, the second master has decided not to use him.
The second master ignored John, directly took out an employment contract, and said loudly to the foreigners on the dock:
"Gentlemen! At that time, when the contract was signed, I asked you to read it carefully three times and make sure that you had no doubts, and then I signed the treaty on the premise that you were free, not forgetting that it was notarized by an American lawyer at that time. I don't think the gentlemen have any objection to this, right? ”
Seeing that most of the foreigners were nodding, only three of them just looked at John and didn't nod. The second master suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, there were only four people, okay!
"Alright! Some gentlemen seem to be very forgetful! Then I will pick out some key clauses to remind these gentlemen. ”
Article 5 of this contract, after Party B signs this contract, Party A shall pay Party B a settling-in allowance of 5,000 US dollars and an advance of 1,500 US dollars in basic salary for three months. I think everyone got the money, right? ”
Seeing that everyone nodded, the second master continued:
"Article 27 of this contract, after the signing of this contract, if one party breaks the contract, it will be executed in accordance with the penalty clause listed in the treaty. If Party A breaks the contract, Party A will compensate Party B for one year (i.e. 12 months) of wages. If Party B breaks the contract, Party B will pay 10 times the amount paid by Party A. ”
The foreigners were in a commotion, and when they signed the contract, the foreigners only cared about signing and receiving the money, where to take a closer look at the punishment clause that was deliberately made three sizes smaller by the second master!
The foreigners took out the contract one after another, and carefully looked at the small punishment clauses. The second master sneered in his heart, look carefully now, it's late! I've signed it all and want to regret it? There are no doors! Dare to come out of the moth, the second master can make his.
"I think gentlemen have seen the clause of Article 27, so I will settle the reckoning for you, and I will pay each of you 6,500 hundred dollars in cash, and if you do not execute this contract, I will return sixty-five thousand dollars. OK!
Gentlemen, it's simple, isn't it? Just give me back the sixty-five thousand dollars, and you can sail back to the United States tomorrow with Mr. Pete, you see I'm a very enlightened employer, don't I? ”
"Nope! Mr. Eric! You are ~~~"
"Shut up! Mr. John! I don't think you read the last clause 29 of this contract, do you? ”
"What? No way? There are 28 articles in total, where is the 29th article? ”
John hurriedly opened the employment contract, and in the lower right corner of the last page, there was a line that could not be smaller, and if I didn't look carefully, I thought it was the English text of the page number: Article 29, all the right to interpret this contract belongs to Party A.
Hahaha, do you think the second master was plagiarized for nothing? The invisible overlord clause of the future generations, he doesn't need to know too much, okay!
John, a professor with high self-esteem, was completely dumbfounded at this time! Damn, when did employment contracts become so strict? Britain can't find such a loophole-free contract for the old empire of Western Europe!
This is simply a naked power clause, John trembles with anger.
(At this time, there is no such thing as an overlord clause being invalid.) )
"Well, gentlemen, I think you have understood, what will you encounter when you return to the United States? That's unemployment, no income, no food for wives and children! Now, gentlemen, you can make your choice, and continue to stand on the right side of the station that stays, and stand on the left side of the station where you want to go back. ”
After a while, there were only four of them left on the left, and the second master laughed when he saw it.
"Yes gentlemen! The choice has been made. I would like to announce the good news below, gentlemen standing on the right, I am afraid you still don't know how much the family visit allowance is mentioned in the article, right?
Hehe, I was supposed to finish my two-year contract, but I will announce it when I have family leave. Since it's rare for everyone to get together today, I announced the family visit subsidy:
The annual visit allowance for all employed engineers is $30,000, and this money will be paid to you every year, regardless of whether you return to visit your family or not;
The annual visit allowance for all hired technician-level employees is $15,000, and this money will be paid to you every year, regardless of whether you return to visit your family or not. ”
"Oh! My God! Long live Mr. Eric! ”
The foreigners on the right who chose to stay were all crazy, and the top hats were thrown up to the second master, scaring the second master to stop drinking quickly.
In his previous life, every time he captured a hill or a trench, his comrades-in-arms would throw him up excitedly, and then he scattered in a hurry, and the second master, the company commander, fell into a big fart in free fall.
The second master has long been psychologically shadowed by his comrades-in-arms in his previous life for this kind of "throwing high" game!
At this time, Pete also came over and gave a vague thumbs up to the second master. The second master greeted Pete, took out Pete's rebate check from his inner pocket, handed it to him, and said:
"Pete, thank you so much! The rest of the equipment orders still need to be kept an eye on the point. ”
Pete took the check and kissed it hatefully.
"No problem! My dear Eric! ”
"Then Pete, you start arranging for people to unload the ship, just put the goods in the port warehouse first, and then someone will come and pull them away."
"No problem, I'll notify the port to unload the cargo."
"Shoko! Why are there so many foreigners? ”
As soon as I heard the voice, I knew that Tan Sanye and they were back.
"Oh! Taozi is back? These are all technicians that I hire. ”
"Ahh So much? Second master! Expose your brother to the bottom, what are you going to do? ”
Tan Sanye asked in a low voice with a look of ghostly eyes. The second master looked at his little hair's funny appearance and gave him a jump. Hehe smiled and said:
"You kid, you forgot what I told you?"
"What?"
Tan Sanye looked inexplicable.
"Believe in the second master! Eternal life! ~~~”
"you, you're coming again? A little positive, okay? ”
"I plan to engage in industrial construction in Xinjiang, will you participate?"
"Really? But I learned ship power! ”
"Isn't it a steam turbine? Could it be that steam turbines can only be used on ships? Can you use it to generate electricity? ”
The second master scoffed at Tan Sanye's brainlessness.
"Taozi! Go to Xinjiang with your master to engage in construction, do you want to go? Give me a good word! ”
The second master forced him to make a small statement.
"Go! Anyway, there is nothing to do in the capital. I can tell you, I won't say yes to the low wages! ”
"Hahaha! Rest assured! Which of us is with whom! You remember~~~"
"Gotcha! Get! Get! Believe that your second master will have eternal life! Right? Shut up, you! ”
"Okay! I have learned to answer. Second brother is optimistic about you, work hard! Come on! ”
The second master made a fist-clenching motion, and Tan Sanye, who was watching, rolled his eyes.
