"Layoffs?"

Along with his voice, Zhang Biao's expression appropriately showed his shock to several of his friends. But this is a matter of course www.biquge.info he had just returned to the Canton Bay base after a long time in the desert in the northwest, and before he could catch his breath, someone burst into his room and told him that the company was laying off employees on a large scale - not many people could keep their composure in the face of such sudden and unfortunate news.

At least Zhang Biao doesn't belong to the category of people who can keep their composure.

"Why are there layoffs?" He asked eagerly, trying to figure out what was going on.

Regrettably, no one could answer his question. Wendesi, Vince. Vane and William. Butz was not a senior executive of the company - in fact, even senior executives did not know the real reason - and had no way to derive a relatively reasonable conclusion, so they could only shake their heads at him.

"Only God and the boss know why there are layoffs." Butz grunted.

Zhang Biao felt a new feeling: frustration. But he didn't give up. "What about the grapevine? And what do our well-informed people say? ”

"They say it's the War Department putting pressure on the company." Vince. Vane replied, with a look of "all," he said, "because we influenced the promotion of Army officers, took away the medals that should have belonged to them, and lured some people into applying for retirement on their own initiative." ”

"It's a cliché, nothing new." Wen Deji commented.

"But that's what it seems to be - I mean the impact we have on the Army." Zhang Biao said.

"But that's clearly not the reason for the layoffs."

"Maybe ......" was silent for a while, and Zhang Biao then asked, "Who have been laid off?" ”

"You should ask who hasn't been laid off." Despite the fact that no one else was there, and almost all of them knew about the layoffs, Vane kept his voice down and said cautiously, "Based on the unreliable information I have heard, the company will lay off at least fifteen thousand people." ”

"The number I heard was seventeen thousand." "Not necessarily reliable," Butz said. ”

Zhang Biao opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Wen Desi had already made a not-so-pleasant addition to the statements of Vane and Butz: "As of today, nine thousand people have been laid off, and believe me, this is an infallible number. ”

"So much?"

"Like we said at the beginning, mass layoffs." Wen Deji pouted, "However, probably half of the people who have been laid off will be happy." ”

"Happy?"

"You don't have a habit of saving money, you always waste money on women, and you like to gamble and drink, so you still don't have any savings after working in the company for so many years-"

"What do you want to say, Bundehei?" Zhang Biao shouted angrily - it is always unacceptable to be exposed, even if it is an old friend for many years.

Fortunately, the goal of Moon's goal is not to expose his bad habits, but only to serve as a comparison. "But there are people who are different from you, they have good habits, they don't gamble, they don't drink, they don't waste money on women, so they have a lot of savings, a few thousand, enough for them to buy a large piece of land, or open a factory, or a hotel, or a restaurant, or whatever."

Zhang Biao furrowed his eyebrows. "I still don't understand what you mean."

"I mean, if a guy has that much savings, buys land, or opens a shop, then he's not going to stay in the company anymore — he doesn't want to stay in the company anymore." Wen Desi spread his hands, "No matter what, being a mercenary is always more dangerous than being a landlord or boss. ”

"You're trying to say that if a guy has that much in savings, he's going to quit." Now, Zhang Biao finally understood what he meant, "The company is laying off employees, and this kind of person will indeed be happy." ”

"And there are a lot of them, thousands." "Half of the people I know have bought land and opened shops in their hometowns. You know, there was one guy who not only called his brothers of the same clan when he bought the land, but also brought the whole platoon with him, and the result was ......?"

"Stop! Fourth, stop! Zhang Biao cried out in frustration. He knew that the guy mentioned by Wen Desi was not the only one who took his colleagues back to his hometown to do private business, nor was he the one who brought the most people, but no matter what those guys did, it had nothing to do with him, and it had nothing to do with the current problem. It's not that Zhang Biao doesn't dislike interesting topics, but right now, he does care more about the company's layoff plans.

There was no other reason than that he didn't want the layoffs to affect him.

However, he also knew that Moonheir, Vane, and Butz did not know the list of layoffs, and that he could not get valuable information from them—the only thing he could do except deduce his own situation from their situation, a possible outcome.

Zhang Biao was silent for a while, calming his emotions back, and then asked, "How is your situation?" Don't tell me someone has been laid off. ”

"Actually......" Wendesi, Vane and Butz exchanged glances before pushing Butz out. In fact, I've been laid off. ”

"You!" Zhang Biao could hardly believe his ears, "How come?" ”

"I asked for it." "The company gave me three options, VIP security, United Textile Technologies security, or a registered part-time employee, so I chose the last one. ”

"You said you were made redundant."

"Registered part-time employees are synonymous with being laid off."

"You've made yourself redundant, William, are you crazy?"

"Of course not." Butz rolled his eyes and continued, "I can't stand the VIP security department's requirement that all personnel be on standby twenty-four hours a day during the mission, and the salary level of the security department of United Textile Technology is half as low as it is now, even though the company intends to promote me to the rank of deputy captain commanding forty-eight people. In contrast, registering a part-time employee is the best option. ”

"Well, what does that mean?" Zhang Biao asked.

"Meaning," Butts said, "I'm registered with the company, I have a record of identity, but I don't have a fixed position or salary, and if there's a job, someone from the company will contact me, and I can choose to accept it or reject it." When I don't have a job, I can do anything, including accepting a job from another company. ”

"Sounds good." After thinking about it, Zhang Biao turned his head to the other two. "What about you?"

"I stay in the combat unit." Vane replied, "Thomas needed a new sergeant major, and Wen recommended me." ”

"And where have you been?" Zhang Biao looked at Wen Desi. Vane was given the position his, so he must have given himself a new job.

Even if he still stays in the company.

"Training Department." "Although the income will be lower than it is now, there is no danger. ”

"He happens to be one of those good guys who doesn't gamble, doesn't drink, doesn't waste money on women." Van deliberately squeezed his eyes at Zhang Biao and Butz, mocking, "The only problem is that he is still unwilling to leave the company, so he has found a way to change to an easy job." ”

"It wasn't an easy job." "And maybe I'll be in the north for a long time, maybe a few years." ”

"What's wrong again?" Zhang Biao suddenly felt that he knew too little of something, as if he didn't know anything.

"It's the Emperor." As if trying to show a kind of respect, he lowered his voice and looked solemn—but his tone completely undermined the effort, not sarcastic, but also a little mockery. Just a few days ago, he inspected the Forces nouvelles again and made a speech. He said......"

"He said he wanted to build an army of 600,000 men." Butz interjected.

Moon's heist ignored the harassment. Whatever Butz's intentions, one thing is certain: he failed to fully convey what the emperor meant—it had to be in Chinese, and it had to be in the kind of tone that only big people would use. "To restore the power of the state, a strong army must be built. To make our Qing Empire a first-class army country in the world, it is all up to your soldiers. He paused and thought for a few seconds, then continued, "I expect that in fifteen years, there will be a new army of 600,000 people, and it will be a first-class army nation in the world. ”

"So?"

"Do you think the boss will let go of this business?"

Of course not. Zhang Biao thought that maybe the boss would lay off employees, but he would definitely not let go of a good business.

"If the company gets this deal, I'm going to go to the north to train the New Army soldiers." Wen Desi sighed, "Actually, I would prefer to stay here and train the members of the militia in Guangdong." ”

"Wen, I don't think the company would do that." "The company may ask you to go to Vietnam to train the Vietnamese National Army, or the Philippines to train the police and security forces, but they will never let you stay in Guangzhou Bay," Butz said mockingly. The job here is just too easy for you. ”

"William ......"

Wen Desi only said that one word, and then was interrupted by Zhang Biao. "Anyway, at least his new job is confirmed. So do you. He nodded to Vane and Butz, and smiled self-deprecatingly. Now only I have not been given a clear arrangement. ”

He had hoped to be able to deduce his own situation from the three of them, but he had realized that it seemed like an impossible task. Although they had joined the mercenaries almost at the same time and had carried out essentially the same mission, he was disturbed by the fact that, apparently, the company still had different decisions.

Still, Zhang Biao wondered how he would be treated.

Knowing what he was worried about, Wen Desi comforted: "Someone will knock on the door......"

There was a knock on the door. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
