"Male Workers, Female Workers, Child Workers......"

"Minimum Labor Guarantees and Labor Contracts!"

"Insurance ......"

"Eight-hour workday, twelve-hour workday......"

……

Anda Aida looked at the information collected by Kojima seriously, and the satisfaction on his face became higher and higher. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "Yo Xi, Chairman Sanno, this is a complete copy of the Chinese system." ”

Last year, the old Confucianism in China used 'unkindness' as an excuse to revive the first war of the new Confucianism, and Japan also heard about it. On the eve of the Sino-Japanese conflict, the second subsequent war was after the Sino-Japanese conflict. During the war, the Japanese did not hear much about it, and after the war, a large number of Chinese businessmen poured into Japan, and countless news was brought into Japan. The flames of war between the Chinese government and the opposition began to ignite from that time, and they have not yet been completely extinguished. However, the Chinese government was still very efficient, quickly filtering out the reality of disabled workers, female workers, and child laborers, and developing a series of safeguards based on the feedback.

Although these measures are completely rudimentary and simple in Chen Ming's eyes. But for the people of this era, it is already absolute good governance.

And the set of rules and regulations that Mitsubishi Textile is now implementing is the policy of the Chinese.

Each worker can only work a maximum of 12 hours a day, regardless of gender, and any more is considered 'overtime', and the factory mainly pays overtime, and the overtime pay in hourly units is higher than the normal average hourly wage.

Female workers can only work up to twelve hours, including overtime; Child labour is eight hours, and the maximum working time per day is 10 hours. The two-hour system is a good way to put a protective net on female and child workers.

Then came the establishment of the minimum labor security system and the minimum labor security system for various industries, which directly killed the entire 'apprenticeship' in China. The characteristics of the old era have faded a little.

And then there's the insurance money.

The factory owner has a labor contract with his workers, according to which the factory owner is required to take out insurance for his workers, although the per capita cost is very low. But if a worker is injured or even disabled as a result of an accident, then an insurance company set up by the Chinese government can pay the main compensation on behalf of the factory owner. This industry has just emerged in China, but it has been around in the West for a long time.

Since the Chinese government opened the insurance industry, several insurance companies have emerged in China one after another, involving life, property, fire, shipping, etc., and even pensions.

There is also a force in Japan, with several insurance stores already appearing in Nagasaki, Osaka, and Edo, and perhaps in the near future, the Japanese insurance industry will be officially born.

But now Adachi Aida just wants to laugh, wants to laugh. "Chairman Mino is too wishful thinking." An insurance firm that Mino had not been able to set up on his own, he now has his company's insurance business under the name of a Chinese insurance company in Nagasaki. Isn't this a bit too much of a show of kindness?

You must know that since the textile industry has entered the hydraulic stage, there have been frequent industrial accidents. Whether it is a small citizen or a peasant, once they enter the factory to work, their bodies are sold to the capital, and they are no longer at their own discretion. In the event of a work-related accident, the factory will subsidize a small amount of medical expenses, but most of them are a drop in the bucket, as was the case in China. And during the treatment of the workers, the factory basically did not pay wages. Therefore, in the case of lack of funds to see a doctor, whether it is a Chinese worker or a Japanese worker, it is all "a minor illness and a major illness waiting to die". If you can still work after you get well, you are lucky; If you can't work, you can only wait to be fired by the factory.

What happened in China is also happening in Japan. Moreover, the Japanese proprietors behaved more harshly than the Chinese merchants. This is because Japan has a relatively more abundant manpower than China at the moment.

This is not a mistake. China's population of 20,000 is spread across the country, and although the population of the major new industrial cities is concentrated, the density is not comparable to that of Nagasaki, Osaka, Edo, Yokohama, Kobe and other cities in Japan. There are 20 or 30 million people in Japan, and they are nested on three small islands.

Today, Japanese companies, like many factories in China, lack the necessary labor protection conditions, and industrial accidents are common. And once a family suffers a work injury, what awaits that family is the most terrible doom.

Now textile enterprises, on the one hand, is the factory itself is not in place, such as long hair for the manipulation of textile machinery has hindered, will bring greater possible harm to workers, China has implemented both men and women to work to take the hood system, Japan is still the same, there is no requirement in this regard.

Anyway, the number and probability of work-related injuries in this era are too high. Mino Pingbei lit up the 'insurance money', which is a brick for his own finances.

"He thought that Japan no longer had the power to threaten him, in fact, Japan really did not, but what he never expected was that he had become the prey of China's cotton spinning giants." Even if the Sumitomo family's textile company were to operate, it would not be possible to produce cotton cloth at a lower cost than Mitsubishi Boshoku, so there was really no force in Japan that could threaten the commercial kingdom of Mino Heihoku.

So in order to show his benevolence, in order to win the loyalty of the workers, he gave the latter higher treatment, so that the workers of Mitsubishi would be more loyal to him. There's nothing wrong with that.

The fault is that he should not forget the Chinese.

The war between China and Japan in the cotton cloth trade now seems to be the rise of the Japanese, but in fact the Chinese still have an absolute advantage. If normal commercial competition can't kill Mitsubishi, there will be abnormal price competition. The Chinese have far more capital than Mitsubishi, and the next thing for the two sides is a price war with bayonets, and that is the strength of both sides.

And the Sumitomo family joined forces with Chinese allies, and Anda Sanada had no reason to believe that he would lose to Mino. This blow may not kill Mino, but it will definitely make Mitsubishi Boshoku fall back to the ground from the blue sky high above.

"Kindergarten? What is it? "Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a word on the document that was definitely not unfamiliar, but Anda Aida was stunned." Kindergarten and Mitsubishi ??? "Is there any connection?

"Your Excellency, this is a child management established by Chairman Mino in order to cherish the female workers who take care of children. In order to let the women workers work wholeheartedly. "It's also about winning people's hearts. Kojima said silently in his heart.

"Yo Xi, President Mino is really going to be a saint." Anda Sanada had to sigh at the degree of Mino Pingbei's 'death', which really opened his eyes.

Of course, at this time, Anda Sanada was only happy in his heart. The higher Mitsubishi's 'labor' costs, the better it will be for his plans.

"Your Excellency." Kojima Matachi leaned in and whispered. "From what I know, it is very likely that Chairman Mino will announce the establishment of a workers' hospital in the near future, or a first-class doctor from China. He also said that in the working meals for the workers, there should be at least one fish every day. The workers at Mitsubishi are very excited right now......"

Kojima Matachi didn't know how to evaluate Mino Pingbei in his heart.

Benevolent? Or stupid......

In the eyes of many people, these two words are linked, but for Kojima, nothing more impactful and exciting than what he has witnessed with his own eyes.

Shaking his head, Anda Aida frowned slightly.

"What about these three Chinese"

"These three are managers, accountants and chief engineers specially invited by Chairman Mino from China, and Chairman Mino has placed them in very high positions from the beginning, and he has also reformed the previous contract labor system, and even almost turned against several managers of the factory for this......

Kojima Matachi understands this very well, so as soon as Anda Aida asked, he had already answered.

"Almost turned around?" Adachi Aida's eyes lit up. "And now? Is their relationship still stiff now? ”

"Pretty much." Kojima Matachi thought for a moment before saying. "According to the information of the subordinates, the China policies implemented by Mitsubishi Textile are mainly promoted by these three Chinese. As soon as he came, he was in a high position, and he also won the trust of Chairman Mino, which made the original supervisors quite dissatisfied......"

"Yo Xi." Anda Sanada tapped his fingers on the table, "You quietly contact these people to see if you can get one or two out of them." "Maybe the level of these people is really not as good as the Chinese, but they are still much stronger than the people that the Sumitomo family is preparing now." They were responsible for the overall process of the first phase of Mitsubishi Boshoku and the early operation of the factory, and they had experience that the Sumitomo family desperately needed. "Then send someone to collect information about those Chinese, especially their origins."

Experienced staff who can be in charge of the operation of the first phase of Mitsubishi Boshoku's factory are not insignificant people, and such people can be easily poached by Mino Pingbei. This should be Mino Pingbei's 'ally' in China!

"I understand." Kojima nodded heavily.

Anda Aida looked at the spherical back of Kojima Matachi leaving, and a sneer appeared on his face. He seems to have discovered another secret of Mino. When the big plan is about to begin, it is better to discover as many secrets as possible.

"The opportunity is coming." How much effort he put in to conceive a plan. If it can succeed, Mitsubishi Boshoku will no longer be an unattainable god, but only a pioneer one step ahead. It's still a big heel, a pioneer who hurts his vitality, and the Sumitomo family can always surpass him.

……

In the production hall of the Toyo Yarn Mill, almost all the windows are tightly closed. This is a new yarn mill that is also based in Nagasaki, and it is just spinning yarn. It's already time for spring and summer communication, and the whole plant is like a big stuffy furnace that is not ventilated.

Because of the stuffiness, most of the female workers wear very thin clothes, whether in China or in Japan, because of the traditional concept of comfort, female workers working in the yarn mill and textile factory will always be subjected to some criticism. Not only because they don't wear much for themselves, but also because many of the male workers take off their shirts because of the unbearable heat in the factory, and they go in and out shirtless when they work.

In the textile workshop, a male worker is walking towards the exit with goods in his arms.

Although the male worker was shirtless, the female workers around him were not embarrassed at all, and they had long been accustomed to good fighting.

Just when the male worker was only ten steps away from the exit, the soles of his feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately a foreman who passed by at this time helped to help him, otherwise not only would he have fallen into the mud, but the yarn in his hand would have been stuck to the mud. This is going to be deducted.

"Be careful. If you drop these goods, you'll be in vain for the past few days. "The foreman is the supervisor, the most junior manager in the spinning workshop. Toyo Yarn Mill is a very simple spinning mill, and it still implements the 'contract labor system', which has been eliminated by China for a long time.

That is, the entire production is contracted to the foreman by bidding, and the foreman recruits workers for production.

The pattern is similar to the three-weaving yamen of the original Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The foreman is the No. 1 worker, who is specifically responsible for supervising the production of the workers, and generally does not work, so to speak, the contract foreman. The female foreman also has the right to restrain and supervise the work, regardless of whether she is familiar with the work, she must obey the dispatch of the female foreman, and the offender will be fined one for the first time, twice the fine, and three times for replacement. These foremen had the power to punish the workers, and at the beginning of the factory system, it was common for the foremen to oppress and extort ordinary workers. Some factories even give each worker a badge with black letters: xxx, what mistakes have been made, how many fines or days of suspension have been made. The foreman hung this penalty sign in front of the worker's machine, indicating that the worker had been fined. Very insulting. In case of theft or laziness, workers are dragged to the factory gate and expelled from the factory, never to be used again. If the production volume is not enough, or the production equipment is damaged, the wages will be deducted, and the factory will be expelled at the worst.

This work system was quickly phased out in China.

However, in Japan, factory owners, who pursue maximum profit and 'effort', are still holding on to this production system. Toyo Yarn Mill is one of them.

"Kudo-kun, thank you very much......" The worker thanked the foreman again and again. There are bad guys in this foreman, but there are also good ones, and Kudo in front of him is one of them.

"I was so lucky to meet Kudo. It's really dangerous—" After putting the goods in a clean place, the male worker wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and said with some palpitations.

If he really slipped, it didn't matter if he fell into the mud all over his body, he was afraid that the cotton yarn he was holding would stain, and in that case he was afraid that he would have to work for three or five days in vain before he could be fined.

"But this damn place is really bad, even if it's so hot, even the ground is so slippery......"

The male worker secretly cursed the owner of the factory in his heart. The workshop of this Toyo mill is known as the "living hell" among the workers. The working conditions are very harsh, and the workers are still working long hours. Because the Toyo Yarn Mill was built and put into operation without sufficient fund-raising, the shareholder boss and others did not make further improvements to the working environment after the plant was built and the machines moved in to start work.

The ventilation performance of the factory is relatively poor, the surface is still muddy, and the humid indoor environment makes the mud floor very slippery. In many places, the stagnant water has turned into small puddles. This is because most of the workers at the mill come from the countryside near Nagasaki and basically commute to work on foot, rather than living in dormitories. Factories have also ceased to provide meals to ordinary workers. At this point, Mitsubishi Textile has done a very good job, and from the very beginning, Mino Pingbei has provided its workers with a higher treatment than the workers of other new textile enterprises.

Working meals are provided, and a place to take a break at noon is provided. At the Toyo Yarn Factory, workers here carry a rice basket every day when they come to work, and the factory only provides workers with a "hot rice bowl".

And I don't know if it's because of working in this long-term unbreathable workshop, the workers find themselves now prone to colds, preferring a sultry environment to a cooler climate. Take the big stuffy furnace in the production workshop as an example, from the initial discomfort to the current 'like', this change makes every conscious worker creepy.

God knows what's there to like here. The air is harsh, there is not enough oxygen, and the sultry environment is often suffocating. The workers wore very little clothing because of the heat, so if the indoor temperature was uneven, it was bound to catch a cold.

All the workers know is that they are now less and less willing to touch the fresh air. I don't know why.

According to the science of later generations, the long-term hot and impermeable working environment will reduce the function of the human body, and with the gradual decline of various functions of the human body, the heat emitted by the body will gradually decrease, which depends on the heat outside to maintain, so the workers feel the most comfortable in the stuffy factory air with the windows closed tightly......

Horror, right?

The clean place was actually a car, each of which belonged to its own foreman, and all had signs on it. When the cart is full of goods, the foreman will lead the cart out of the workshop and deliver it to where the yarn is supposed to go. (To be continued.) )
