Although this Maeda's mouth was a little broken, he was still very serious when doing things, and it didn't take long to lift all the natural gas tanks on the cart to the small cart.

"Hashimoto, why didn't you run out of gas this time? The jar was noticeably heavier than before. ”

Maeda flipped the canister and said with some doubts: "The natural gas in here is estimated to last three to five days, so Hashimoto, you won't bring these natural gas canisters with Sawada Yoshida on your back, right?" ”

Satoshi Hashimoto rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously: "Maeda, you're slandering me, are you slandering me, am I, Satoshi Hashimoto, the one who would do this?" I would never do things behind anyone's back! ”

Maeda smiled, shook his head and said, "That's true, you guy has always known what you should do and what you shouldn't do, so every boss you've ever followed trusts you and treats you as their confidant; All right. Then let's get ready to enter the factory now. ”

Maeda just wanted to push the car away, but suddenly seemed to think of something, turned back to Liu Xing and said: "This Mr. Meteor, in order to ensure the safety of your life and mine, I hope you can put your mobile phone, belt and other items that may generate sparks and static electricity on the car to avoid causing explosions... Well, although I also think that this is unlikely to happen, after all, the safety measures in our factory are not bad, and it stands to reason that even if you are in there to make a phone call, there will be nothing wrong, but there are still quite a lot of old employees in our factory, and these old men are more unreasonable than the other, forcing us to follow some unnecessary regulations. ”

Looking at Maeda with a helpless face, Satoshi Hashimoto couldn't help but say, "This is not your boss's problem?" All these old men in your factory can still move, but what meaningful things can they do? I remember the last time I was here, I saw an old man who twisted his waist while carrying a gas canister, and was taken to the hospital and still hasn't come out. ”

Hearing Satoshi Hashimoto say this, Maeda said even more speechlessly: "That's not because my boss has a problem with his brain, in the past, in order to keep down the salary, he insisted on signing a lifelong contract with others, but now it is difficult to dismiss these old men, so we can only treat them as our own uncle, but I heard a good news today, that is, our natural gas tank plant is about to be acquired, I think the new boss should not take in so many old men." ”

It's kind of interesting.

Before Satoshi Hashimoto could speak, Liu Xing preemptively asked, "Oh, Brother Maeda, can you tell me how many old men in your factory can't work?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" Maeda said with some doubts: "But this is not impossible to tell you, now we have a total of 83 regular employees in the entire factory, and 15 dispatch employees, these dispatched employees generally work at distribution stations in urban areas, so I don't know much about them; As for the fact that there are at least 20 old men in the factory who can't work properly, they are usually responsible for sweeping the floor, cleaning up things or something, and then the rest of the time is sitting in the office drinking tea, playing mahjong, playing chess, or something. ”

"More than twenty, this ratio is a bit exaggerated, so can the rest of you keep busy?" Liu Xing continued to ask.

Maeda shook his head and said with a wry smile: "In fact, although these old men are all regular employees of the factory, in fact, the boss has regarded them as transparent people, so every time an old man starts drinking tea in the office, the boss will recruit a new employee to replace the position of the old employee, so it stands to reason that our manpower is enough, but those middle-aged people who are not old and a lot less are not a good thing, and they often give their tasks to us young people as seniors to deal with, And they are also responsible for some of the easier work, such as sorting out the natural gas tank, checking whether there is any gas leakage in each location, in short, dirty work is what we young people have to do, so we are tired like dogs every day, so we can barely complete the task. ”

Speaking of which, Maeda didn't forget to show Liu Xing the calluses on his hands.

"It seems that you young people are still quite sad in the factory of your new home, so have you ever thought of coming to work in Sawada Construction? Although it may be a little more tiring on a regular basis, the income will definitely be much higher than what you are now. Liu Xing said.

Maeda's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, "Of course I want to change companies if I can, but the problem is that the contract of this company is for life, so it is impossible to leave this factory early unless you pay a lot of liquidated damages... It's also that I was too young back then, and I signed it directly without looking at the contract, because the companies on the market are different from before, and they will no longer sign lifelong contracts at every turn, after all, there are so many employees who can be used, and there is no shortage of you, so I now regret the decision I made at that time. ”

As Maeda points out, it's rare for companies in island nations today to sign lifetime contracts with job seekers, because this is not the age of bubbles.

In the bubble era, most companies thought about how to spend money rather than how to make money, because the island countries were very rich at that time, so the banks would lower the standards of borrowers for their own performance, basically you only need a clean person, then you can bring a large amount of loans, and these loans are to various companies.

Therefore, in order to strengthen their competitiveness in recruiting employees, many companies have begun to sign lifelong contracts with employees to prove their sincerity... However, some companies do this to keep the cost of firing employees down, because unless the employee makes a major mistake or leaves voluntarily, the company will give the employee a sum of money when the employee leaves.

Although the lifetime contract seems to make the employee have no risk of losing his job, because unless the company goes out of business, then the employees are born to be the company's people, and the death is the company's ghost, and they will never leave the company for the rest of their lives, but in fact, the lifetime contract is a big hole, because the company will determine some "small goals" according to the employee's situation at the time when signing this contract, and these "small goals" are difficult to achieve after the employees are old, so these old employees have to resign voluntarily.

Therefore, you can often see the father and husband who are the heads of the family being kicked out of the company because they can't keep up with the pace of work in TV dramas or movies in island countries.

As a result, these employees who signed lifetime contracts in the bubble era began to experience a wave of layoffs after the 21st century, and because they have been doing the same thing for half their lives, it is difficult for them to find new jobs.

So I have to say that the boss of this natural gas canning company is really "conscience", and he didn't sweep those old employees who ate and waited for death out of the house.

However, Liu Xing actually knows very well that these old employees are actually "landmines" prepared by the public faction, waiting for his party to step on them. Please net

If nothing else, when the Sawada family took over the natural gas canning company, they could also see these old employees who were on the corpse vegetarian meal, and then the Sawada family would have a bit of a headache if they wanted to clean up these old employees, after all, it would be a little unreasonable to directly fire these old employees who signed a lifelong contract, but it would be a burden to leave them, as for really letting them go to the front line for high-intensity labor, then these old employees may be in danger of life, and as long as there are no one or two at that time, it will be even more troublesome at that time,

Therefore, the last and best option is to give these old employees a pension so that they can enjoy their old age... But now it is not ruled out that there will be members of the public faction among these old employees, if there is, then it will be a little difficult for Liu Xing and others to move him.

As for the lifetime contract of other employees, in fact, it is also a little troublesome, because if you want to force the employee who signed a lifetime contract to leave, the only thing you can do is to add tasks to him, put mental pressure on him, and then directly exhaust or force him to collapse, you can say that he is no longer suitable for his current job, so that the employee can be justifiably dismissed... But if this employee works hard and has strong mental strength, then there is really no way for you to let him go, unless you come to live together and let the company give him a funeral.

Of course, these speculations are only based on abiding by the lifetime contract, and Liu Xing and the others will not abide by the lifetime contract when necessary.

Money?

Mere trifle.

Closure for rectification?

I can't ask for it.

While thinking about it, Liu Xing threw his mobile phone and other items on the car, but Liu Xing did not forget to encrypt his mobile phone to ensure that it would not be opened by others to peek.

Then, Liu Xing followed Maeda and others into the factory.

The area of the factory is not large, but there are still a lot of related devices, so in some places the road will be relatively narrow.

In the office near the door, Liu Xing saw several old men in their sixties and seventies playing cards at a glance, which made Liu Xing mistakenly think that he was passing by an elderly activity center.

Walking further, Liu Xing saw several middle-aged men talking and laughing together, and he didn't plan to help when he saw Maeda and others pushing the cart over, while Maeda and others turned a blind eye to them, and walked directly past them with Liu Xing and Satoshi Hashimoto.

After confirming that the middle-aged people did not pay attention to their group, Satoshi Hashimoto whispered to Liu Xing: "Those four people just now are the thorns in this factory, and they often fight with others, but although their fighting style is very fierce, the people who fight with them are at most some skin injuries, so we all think that these four people have practiced the family, otherwise it is impossible to put their strength so freely." ”

As soon as Satoshi Hashimoto's voice fell, KP Broken Bridge said with a smile: "Then now enter the first question of the optional task - trust or not, Liu Xing, do you agree with Satoshi Hashimoto's statement!" ”

Faced with this sudden question, Liu Xing hurriedly closed his eyes and recalled the image of the four middle-aged people, only to find that the four middle-aged men were all muscular hunks, and each of them had flower arms.

Because there is no time limit for this multiple-choice question, theoretically as long as the answer is not revealed, then Liu Xing can not answer it for the time being, so Liu Xing chose to ask Satoshi Hashimoto for help.

"Hashimoto, have you ever seen those four people fight?"

Faced with Liu Xing's question, Satoshi Hashimoto replied without thinking about it: "Of course, these four people will not only fight with young people like Maeda, but also take the initiative to provoke other middle-aged employees, so these four people are alone in the factory; The last time I was here to change the gas tank, I saw a group of thugs blocking the four middle-aged people, and as a result, the thugs with wooden sticks and steel pipes were pressed to the ground and rubbed, almost helpless. ”

"That's right."

Maeda, who heard Satoshi Hashimoto talking to Liu Xing, interjected and said: "The Honchu Foursome was originally the former boss's personal bodyguard, but because of the financial crisis in the past few years, the former boss directly ran away with the money, including all the deposits of the Honchu Foursome; The quartet in this middle school are all orphans, so they originally planned to use that money to buy a farm, and then they can live happily in the countryside, but they didn't expect that the boss who is usually very generous to them would steal all their money, which made them shocked and angry, and finally chose to sign a lifetime contract with the new boss, in order to advance a sum of money to hunt down the escaped former boss, but unfortunately in the end it was lost. ”

So, they returned to work in the factory, because they were practicing their families, they did a good job in this factory, after all, there are too many manual jobs in the factory that need people to do, so the foursome was still very popular with everyone at the beginning, and the reason is, of course, that the foursome is willing to do dirty work; It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, there was a gangster who had just entered the factory, relying on his big brother outside, he wanted to be the number one person in the factory, but he chose to provoke the foursome in the factory as soon as he came, and the result was naturally that the foursome beat the gangster, and then beat the helper called by the gangster again. ”

"But this little gangster just didn't give up, and felt that he hadn't lost yet, so he came up with a bad idea - because no one else saw him when he was fighting with the foursome, so he spread rumors that the foursome was bullying him, an honest man, and it turned out that he really tricked several people into helping, and the foursome didn't care, and they just did it."
