85. Black Iron City
"Manager, this is this month's report, this quarter, under your leadership, the entire mining area has exceeded the tasks assigned by the head office, reaching 3.2 times that of the same period last year, here, I only express my gratitude to you on behalf of myself and the 2,400 colleagues and 17,000 miners in the mining area."
At the beginning of the conference, Bo Rilang set the tone for the entire meeting, and everyone who participated in the meeting also had a beaming look on their faces, many of them, two months ago, were still staunch hereditary factions, and they were not pleasing to Shu Han, a foreign slave, and now, when Shu Han's eyes swept to their bodies, they saw that warm gaze surged on Shu Han's cheeks, if the eyes could transmit temperature, Shu Han would be roasted in an instant.
In the past three months, the wages of each of them have almost doubled, and many overseers have even tripled or quadrupled, so that a large number of people who were originally hovering at the bottom class have reached the peak of the middle class.
Even the Zhao family's bank has carried out a large-scale repair and reconstruction in the past three months, more than doubling the expansion of the entire building, and the bankers' sensitivity to money is obviously much higher than that of ordinary people, which shows how profitable this mining area is now.
And at the same time as the wages of these overseers have risen, their work tasks have been much lighter, and there are fewer people who are willing to be overseers, after all, far away from the city, life is inconvenient, and at the same time, the environment is bad, there is oil and dust everywhere, people only need to stay here for a year, even white people can dye you black, not to mention the various diseases that come with it, for the people in the city, it is simply a lower than ordinary place.
And the salary is not high, very low, such a low salary, poor treatment, environmental work, naturally not many people are willing to apply, in the mining area, except for the hereditary faction, most of the outsiders are carrying mistakes, people with disgraceful things written in the file, innocent families, will never let their children come here to farm.
At the same time, Shu Han also asked the company in his own name to be able to give a batch of masks, so that the supervisors would not work in a dangerous environment, which also made the lives of the supervisors be guaranteed to a certain extent, so the number of people who came to sign up naturally increased.
On the other hand, the profits of the mining area increased, and Shu Han also took the opportunity to improve the working conditions of the slaves, such as putting a little effort into food and housing, so that they could at least be more comfortable than before, and at the same time create an incentive system, so that they can get a better life through slaves, and even Shu Han also asked for two free people per year from within the company, giving the best slaves, so that they can regain their freedom, This makes them more willing to work, rather than being forced to work under the pressure of the overseer.
These ideas are not Shu Han's patents, in fact, before this, some people have thought about it, and even the company has put it into practice, and the company also knows that if you want to let the horse run, you have to let the horse eat grass, so the incentive system has also been officially promulgated in the mining area.
But because the output of the mining area is too low, even if it is encouraged, the production of each person will not increase much, and it is not even as much as the reward money, so it will be slowly abolished.
The cooperation of the slaves, which is of course a bad thing for a small number of psychologically abnormal overseers, these people take the pleasure of beating slaves, but most of the overseers do not have such a hobby, as long as the slaves can complete their work on time, they do not want to fight, and now the slaves have become more willing to take the initiative to work, which is naturally a good thing.
And Shu Han also relied on this, not only to earn a lot of money, but also to envelop the entire mining area, the hearts of the vast majority of people, so to speak, now Shu Han is in this land, who wants to die, that person will definitely not live tomorrow, as long as Shu Han moves a thought, some people are willing to help him do these unsightly things.
"This is not my own credit, to have today's results, all depends on everyone present, it is your hard work, so that the company's industry can flourish, your hard work, I will report to the group word for word, I think, this year's year-end bonus, you can look forward to it." Shu Han said with a smile, staying here for such a long time, how to talk to his subordinates, how to talk is loved by others, under the teaching of Zhang Song, Shi Ping and others, his ability in this area can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
Sure enough, when these words were spoken, all the overseers and overseers present were cheering, which laid a good foundation for the next meeting, and also made the parties appear much more moderate in the subsequent meetings.
Especially with the recruitment of a large number of overseers into the mining area, the strength of the outsiders who originally occupied the weak position has now increased greatly, and the two sides can be said to be fighting very fiercely in private, especially in front of Shu Han, he can't stand this, in order for the meeting to go smoothly, say some nice auspicious words, this is not something that will be excluded for Shu Han.
When the meeting was over, Shu Han naturally took the lead in leaving, followed by Bo Rilang, and after Shu Han returned to his office, he said to Bo Rilang: "Is it finally my turn to take a vacation tomorrow?" ”
"Yes, if you need anything, I can prepare it for you in advance." Bo Rilang glanced at the itinerary in his Chinese folder, said decisively, and then laughed, this itinerary was set a week ago, he himself didn't look at it and was about to forget, but he didn't expect Shu Han to remember it so well.
He smiled and said, "Manager, this is your first time back in the city, right?" ”
"Well, is there anything you need to prepare? What else do you need to bring a few pairs of clothes and pants? Shu Han said with a smile, he did have considerable expectations for going to Black Iron City, in his memory, everything in Black Iron City was vague, the original owner of the body had spent time in the nursery until he was fifteen years old, and he did not leave that place for a single step, and the only time he left was to go out in an ox cart, and then he was sent directly to the mining area.
It was still one night, everything was quiet on the road, in his memory, the little Shu Han seemed to have been crying, the day before leaving, he was pressed in the toilet by other children in the nursery and beaten violently, those children, as for who those children were, why they beat him, Shu Han can no longer remember, but he can vaguely remember that it was not only himself who was beaten, but many other people who had been condemned to slavery.
And those who beat them were those who had good genes and were in the first place in the adoption sequence, and Shu Han couldn't remember the reason for this, but this incident was very clear in Shu Han's memory, and the first time Shu Han saw Black Iron City, it was in a painful way to meet this city where he had lived for fifteen years.
These thoughts are churning in Shu Han's memory, although Shu Han at this time is no longer the Shu Han of the past, but when these thoughts come to his heart, it still makes Shu Han's curious mood mixed with a trace of sadness, which becomes complicated, but he is still quite happy, the city of the end, he really wants to see, especially there are many places in the city that Shu Han wants to go, and he is ready to take advantage of this time to go back and buy a house in the city first.
This was unthinkable three months ago, after all, the housing prices in the Black Iron City are not cheap, but for Shu Han today, as long as it is not a house in the core area, he can still afford it, these three months, not counting the basic salary, the reward alone is more than four thousand gold coins, such a huge amount of money is enough for Shu Han to buy a small bungalow in the old area of the Black Iron City and a courtyard house in the suburbs.
