Chapter 196: Poor Mombasa
Seeing Jiao Bai packing up his things and about to leave to go back to the hotel, Tang Guyun hurriedly asked, "Boss, when we were working before, we caught two thieves. They somehow got into the warehouse area, and they actually came into our warehouse and tried to steal our equipment, and I caught them and beat them. What do you think these two thieves should do, do you want to kill them directly? ”
Jiao Bai held his forehead with his hand, quite speechless, Tang Guyun's apocalyptic thinking is really terrifying, he shouts and kills at every turn. And it's not a special case, many of the zombies that Jiao Bai brought to the earth are also this thinking routine. This may also have something to do with the fact that they are zombies, although Tang Guyun now has the appearance of a human being, but their minds are still zombies after all, and it is probably their instinct to ignore life.
"Leave it to the local police to deal with, I don't want you to get into a life lawsuit, and then go to the prison to get you, how troublesome it is. Also, remember that it's not in the last days, it's on Earth, and don't shout and kill at every turn. ”
"Understand the boss, I'll hand them over to the police. But boss, you don't have a chance to go to the prison to catch me, those police can't catch me at all. ”
After speaking, Tang Guyun walked out of the warehouse, probably to escort the two thieves. Jiao Bai was a little uneasy, and took a look at the past, the so-called thieves were just two fourteen or fifteen-year-old black children, wearing some shabby clothes, with yellow faces and thin muscles. Now they are lying on the ground, wailing incessantly. Jiao Bai stepped forward to take a look, but fortunately, these two people only had broken their arms, Tang Guyun had already shown mercy to his subordinates, and he didn't put too heavy hands, otherwise their lives would not have been saved. Jiao Bai tried to communicate with the two thieves in English, but the two thieves couldn't understand it at all, and they yelled at Jiao Bai in the local language.
Jiao Bai shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I originally wanted to release you, but I didn't understand the language, so I had to call the police to deal with it." ”
Jiao Bai took out his mobile phone and dialed the local police number. The Mombasa police station is located here in the warehouse area, and not long after the call was made, two policemen came to the warehouse designated by Jiao Bai. After seeing the two thieves, one of the policemen yelled at the two of them, and the two thieves were so frightened that they even stopped wailing.
The policeman turned around, bowed to Jiao Bai and apologized, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiao, I've caused you trouble." The two thieves are repeat offenders and have been in jail more than once. It's only been two days since I got out of prison, and it's not another offense. ”
Jiao Bai asked with some doubts: "How old are they, don't they need to go to school?" How do you end up in jail so often? ”
The policeman smiled helplessly, and his dark face was full of gloom, "Sir, don't look at Mombasa, where there are many high-rise buildings, and the streets are also clean and tidy, and it looks prosperous." In fact, that's just the surface, it's all for tourists. The real people of Mombasa live in the Old Town, which is very dirty and messy. The people's life is also very hard, their income is very small, and they cannot afford to send their children to school. In Mombasa, the good schools are all run by foreigners, and the tuition fees are frighteningly expensive, and even some wealthy businessmen cannot afford the cost of their children's education. The government has opened a number of affordable schools, but the number is scarce, the quality of teaching is worrying, and even if children are sent in, there will be no future when they come out. ”
Jiao Bai sighed, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this is especially true for a country. Although Mauria is a small country with a population of tens of millions, it is very difficult for the government to solve the problem of survival of these people, and the problem of education naturally has to be ranked behind survival, and the resources invested must not be much.
Seeing off the police and the two thieves, Jiao Bai also left the warehouse area, drove into the city, and came to a small five-story building, where the branch of Shanshan Mall in Mauria was located.
It's been a week since I came to Mauria, and this is Jiao Bai's first time in the company. Peng Jie, who got the news in advance, came downstairs with several company executives to greet her. After some greetings, Peng Jie took Jiao Bai to visit the branch, and then held a meeting attended by all members.
At the meeting, Peng Jie introduced Jiao Bai to all employees. I heard that it was the big boss of the company and the richest man in China who came to Mombasa in person, and everyone applauded warmly. Jiao Bai stood up, came to the podium, and looked at the employees with yellow and black skin tones in the audience, he still felt a sense of accomplishment, after all, his company also had foreign employees. Turning up the microphone, Jiao Bai said:
"I've been in Mombasa for a week and I've been busy with other things, so I'm sorry I didn't have time to meet you until today. In order to save everyone's time, I will only talk about two things here, one of which is a salary increase, and the basic salary of all employees will be increased by 20%. In addition, after I came to Mauria, I noticed a strange phenomenon, the employees of a company often have two salary scales, foreign employees are one standard, Mauria locals are the other, and the latter is often only a fraction of the former, or even a dozen. Including our Shanshan business, it is also the implementation of two sets of wage standards. It's not good, everyone does the same job, why should the locals take less, it doesn't make sense. That's why I'm here to announce that all employees at the Mauria branch of Sansan Mall will receive equal pay for equal work. ”
The staff in the audience who heard the news were all excited and applauded vigorously, after all, no one likes the salary increase. But many local employees in Mombasa didn't understand what Jiao Bai said, and they didn't know why when they saw Huaxia colleagues applauding. In the paragraph just now, Jiao Bai said it in English, but Jiao Bai's English was learned when he learned programming, he learned it incidentally, he could read and write, but he couldn't say it, the pronunciation was not standard, and there were many special expressions of Chinese-style English, and only Chinese people who had also received Chinese-style English education could understand it, and it was normal for foreigners to not understand it.
"Lin, what did the boss just say that made you so excited?"
"Raise wages, who is not excited, everyone's wages will increase by 20, and you local employees will rise even more, and you will get the same salary as us in the future."
"Oh my God, that's great, wouldn't I be able to get paid several times more than before, the boss is an angel sent by God to save us! No, the boss is a Chinese person, how to say it in your Chinese language, oh, I think of it, the boss is really the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering. ”
The applause lasted for a long time, and many local employees understood the meaning of what Jiao Bai said after listening to the "translation" of their colleagues, and applauded with hindsight.
