Chapter 40 I didn't see them as full-fledged workers
"What's going on?" Xu Yi looked at Cantona, who had an extra conspicuous scratch on his face, and Director Riley, who had bruises at the corners of his eyes, and asked a little funny, "Could it be that you two think that working here is too boring, and you have nothing to do to fight with each other?"
Cantona smiled awkwardly, and Director Riley smiled wryly and shook his head, "President Xu, don't make fun of us, I don't believe you don't know what's going on." I still need you to give a comment on how to deal with this matter. ”
Seeing the distressed expressions on the faces of the two, Xu Yi put away his thoughts about making fun of them, and pondered for a while, feeling that this matter was indeed a bit tricky, no wonder the two of them did not deal with it immediately, but waited a few more days, and then handed it over to him to deal with after he came.
Four days ago, on the 100,000 hectares of land leased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Weilun Patriarch, a group conflict suddenly broke out between more than 1,000 farmers from the Lampari Kingdom who had come all the way from Bangta City and the 5,000 local farmers hired by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
According to the statistics after the incident, a total of about 300 farmers in Bonta City and more than 500 local farmers participated in the conflict and took action, although there were no serious accidents such as fatalities, but as a result, a total of nearly 100 people were seriously injured, more than 400 people were slightly injured, and even Cantona, who is currently mainly responsible for the work of the farm, and Director Riley, who has nothing to do with it, were also implicated and slightly injured.
Because of this incident, all the work of this Xinfei farm has been temporarily suspended, and Cantona and his subordinates have been busy dealing with the follow-up work, and they have not slept well for several days.
"There's nothing hard about the matter itself. Xu also thought about it for a while. "For our peasants in the city of Bonta. Cantona, you go and come forward. Privately adjust, and for the farmers hired locally, I went to the Weilun patriarch to intervene, believing that as long as a certain punishment is given, no one will dare to make trouble again. ”
Cantona hesitated: "Although no one dares to make any more trouble, but ...... President Hsu, I think this time our farmers in Bang Ta City are right. These peasants hired locally in the Duchy of Stantin were obviously too lazy to die, and they were unwilling to do any work all day long. But I still have to get a salary similar to my own, and I'm not happy to change it. What's more, those guys are not satisfied, and they actually took the initiative to come and accuse our farmers of Bangta City of being paid too high, which is unfair. Hmph, I don't know who it's really unfair to. ”
Xu Yi stared at Cantona and asked, "Is this what you really think?"
Cantona was stunned, met Xu Yi's gaze, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, that's what I really think. President Hsu. I've been in charge here for more than half a month, but I've seen for myself how lazy those guys from the Duchy of Stantin are. Look at me. Our peasants in Bonta City can even do as much work as five of them a day, but each of them can still get enough hardware, while those of us who have come all the way from Buntar City can only get 100 gold coins a year, and on average we don't even get 10 gold coins a month, which is less than twice as much. ”
"But in reality, they do get a much higher salary than these people in the Duchy of Stantin, aren't they?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically. So from the point of view of the workers of the Duchy of Stantin, their discontent is also very justified. ”
According to what I said, they should follow the rules of our Bangta City, pay according to the amount of work, give more for more work, give less for less work, and if you don't do anything, then don't even think of a copper coin!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "This idea is good, but it's a pity that the situation here in the Duchy of Stantin is different, so it can't be implemented." ”
"Why can't it be done?" asked Cantona, unconvinced.
"Because I think you know very well that most of the wages received by these workers actually end up in the pockets of the Patriarch of Weilun. ”
Cantona was slightly stunned, then came to his senses in an instant, glanced left and right, and asked in a low voice: "President Xu, according to what you say, this matter was actually provoked by the Patriarch of Weilun?" No wonder these guys from the Duchy of Stantin have always been quite honest, but they suddenly made trouble in the two days before you came. I've been doing it for a long time, and I just want to put forward conditions to you. ”
Director Riley on the side snorted angrily: "Hmph, this dead fat pig, because he has been constantly praising you in front of us these days, I can't imagine that he is doing such obscene means behind his back, it's just damn good!"
As a party concerned, Xu Yi didn't care much about it, and waved his hand with a smile: "You don't have to react so strongly, I just guessed about this matter, and there is no evidence." In the future, we will continue to cooperate with Patriarch Weilun, so the relationship between us must not be too stiff. ”
"And you mean to accept his threat this time?" said Cantona, unconvinced. "President Xu, this fat man is insatiable, if you promise him once, I'm sure he will continue to do this in the future. ”
"Yes, that's what this kind of person thinks. As long as you give in to him once, he will become even worse. President Xu, I also don't think he should be allowed to succeed this time, otherwise he will suffer endlessly. Director Riley also said.
"Don't worry, I know it. Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "If it's just a request for money, I'm the least worried. Besides, even if he can have enough money, it's still a question of whether he will have the life to spend it......"
Cantona and Director Riley were stunned at the same time, and they looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of awe-inspiring in each other's eyes.
From Xu Yi's words, they actually smelled a hint of coldness.
"Well, the job of pacifying the peasants from Bunta City will be left to Cantona. Director Riley, we're old friends, so I'll thank you for helping with this matter where you can help me with it. ”
"President Xu, you're gracious. Director Riley waved his hand. "With our relationship, it's just a small thing. However, I think it would have been better if you had personally interdicted yourself to appease you. To tell you the truth, so many of our farmers in Bang Ta City are willing to leave Bang Ta City and come all the way here to farm, but it is all for the sake of you and the signboard of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Well, of course I'll come forward, but I won't be here for long, and there are a lot of other things to do, so the rest of the work will have to be done by you. Xu Yi nodded, and once again told Cantona: "Remember, we must let the farmers from Bangta City settle down, and don't let them have doubts about continuing to cultivate farms here." ”
"Okay, I'll do my best. Cantona nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "President Xu, do you think it's ...... Give them some compensation to put them at ease?"
"No, I can't. Xu Yi shook his head and vetoed this suggestion. "Seriously, they are also at fault in this matter, and if it is handled properly, they even need to be punished. ”
"And punishment?" Cantona said in surprise, "Then I'm afraid they'll just quit." ”
"So that's just the superficial way of dealing with it. On the surface, we need to punish this kind of behavior severely to avoid similar conflicts next time. But privately, I told them the actual attitude of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It's not convenient for me to come forward in this matter, so it's up to you to communicate with Cantona. ”
Cantona nodded in understanding.
"In addition, the model of the farm needs to be changed. Since these local peasants in the Duchy of Stantin are not useful, then don't let them work together with our peasants from Bangta City in the future. Anyway, with the help of so many farmland magic machines, our people from Bangta City alone are enough to reclaim this farm. Xu Yi said again.
"Then what are these 5,000 people going to do?"
"There's a lot to do. For example, he is responsible for the infrastructure around the farm, repairing roads, building houses, etc. ”
Director Riley immediately made a bitter face: "President Xu, these people are not willing to stay in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and our Amrley Chamber of Commerce is not willing to use them." I know how lazy these guys are, and sending them here won't hold us back?"
"Their salaries are paid by our new flying merchants, what are you afraid of?" Xu Yi said. "If you're worried about them holding them back, don't let them do the technical work. There are so many simple tasks that only need to be done in the form of road and docks, and you leave it to them. Although they are lazy enough, there are 5,000 people, and they can do a little bit. ”
Director Riley frowned and asked suspiciously, "President Xu, what do I think...... You don't seem to have taken these 5,000 people seriously at all, and you don't really see them as workers in your Chamber of Commerce. ”
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "When these guys change their laziness, I will treat them as real workers in our Chamber of Commerce." Didn't you notice that they didn't have any of the benefits that our employees of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce enjoyed, except for the five gold coins they received every month?"
"Isn't your salary of more than 20,000 gold coins a month in vain?" Director Riley said.
"It can't be helped, it's a price that has to be paid. Xu also stood up. "Director Riley, please help Cantona discuss what to do, I need to talk to Patriarch Verun now. ”
A hint of surprise crossed their faces, and Cantona asked with some concern, "President Xu, are you supposed to ...... Do you want to go to a showdown with that dead fat man?"
"It's not the time. Xu Yi smiled slightly. "I just...... Just go make a deal with him. (To be continued......)
