Anderson is a very ordinary worker, and the recent frequency of factory shutdowns has made everyone very uneasy.

From last year's one-week shutdown per month, to now, a week-long shutdown, a panic is spreading in the hearts of every worker, especially ...... He had heard that the factory seemed to be running out.

It's not that the factory is losing money or anything, in fact, the factory is not losing money, it's just that the sales of the things it produces are getting worse and worse, and many goods are piled up in the warehouse, slowly falling into dust.

If things can't be sold, there is no income, plus the cost of inputs, warehouse management expenses, workers' wages and other losses have become the biggest headache for factory owners.

Although he always assured the workers that he would keep the factory alive as long as possible, everyone had a feeling that the day was not far off for a job change.

Today was payday, and Anderson packed himself up early in the morning and came outside the factory, chatting in groups about some common things, most of them who suddenly got rich, or how many of the surrounding factories had closed down.

They didn't feel that life would be so difficult before, especially in the past few years, when the factory was constantly running from morning to night, and the workers were so tired that they couldn't lift their arms at the end of each day's work.

At that time, it was very tiring, but it was also very fulfilling, as long as the work was well rewarded, the factory owner even expanded the factory for this purpose, adding more jobs......

Everyone was chatting, reminiscing about the past, or fearing the future, when there was a sudden commotion in the factory's finance office.

The noise instantly pricked everyone's sensitive nerves, and most people immediately finished what they were doing and trotted towards the door of the finance office.

When Anderson got closer, he realized that several workers were arguing with the factory owner, their boss, for two reasons.

First, the factory will be completely shut down from next month, and everyone will have to wait for notice of what will be resumed.

This is tantamount to telling everyone that the factory is finished, the so-called resumption of work may not exist at all, and the federal salary adopts a working hour system, and you can get how much money you can get for what you do.

This system has always been reasonable, especially for the hard-working workers, who get more for the more they give, and everyone is ready to contribute to the factory.

Once there is a total shutdown, it means that these workers will not have a penny of income next month!

The vast majority of ordinary families in the federation do not have the habit of actively saving, and in addition, the savings interest rates of the six major federal banks have been continuously lowered recently, and the difference between keeping money in the bank and holding it in your hands is not much different.

This further reduces the urge to put money in the bank.

Money has a very special attribute, when you have money in your hands, there will be an inexplicable desire to consume, the more money, the stronger the desire to consume.

It could be buying a rare Haute Doug to satisfy your appetite, or it could be buying a pack of good cigarettes that you haven't bought before to enjoy the smell of money burning.

If you don't have a salary, you will immediately fall into a terrible situation of termination!

What's even more terrifying is that the payment period of various installment products expires, including houses and cars, which will become a burden that overwhelms people's lives!

A few years ago, the whole world began to stabilize from the chaos, and the Federation, which had been isolated from the war, began to grow rapidly.

A large number of things have been introduced, including consumption methods and concepts, not only houses can be installed, cars can be installments, as long as there is a social security card, as long as there is a legal citizenship, even if you buy a TV, you can install.

Everyone is enjoying the huge dividends of the times, as if there is money everywhere, as long as you bend down, you can pick up the money.

But now, these unpaid installments have become a noose around people's necks, which can be tightened anytime and anywhere, taking people's lives!

Several workers are arguing with their bosses over the matter, and they demand that the boss must start work in the next month, and no less than ten days, which is their last insistence.

One day of work, two days off, if that is not guaranteed, their lives will become a problem.

Obviously, the boss kept a cold face and kept shaking his head, and it was impossible for him to accept such a request.

Now the business is not doing well, the market in the surrounding area of Sabin City and even in the state is saturated, it is difficult to sell goods in large quantities as before, the speed of payment is slow, and the money returned is basically consumed on storage fees and wages.

The only thing he can do now is to stop work completely, and then find a way out for his goods, or find a problem, and solve it before he can continue to work.

The workers were at a loss at this time, in fact, the factory owner was also at a loss, it was obviously a very popular thing, why could it not be sold in just one or two years!

You must know that in the past, a large number of people drove trucks outside the warehouse to rush to load goods, but now, some people actually call him to ask if they can return the goods, even if only 30% of the money is refunded!

In addition to this issue of the shutdown, there is also the question of how the salary will be paid this time.

"There isn't much money left in the factory's accounts to pay all of you, so I thought maybe we could pay you in another way......"

On the issue of the stoppage, the quarrel had ceased, and the workers decided to let the union come forward, and they looked at the factory owner with cold faces, and there was no friendship at all, and not only did they have a wall with each other, but they also became enemies of each other.

The factory owner's eyelids trembled twice, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, his voice was a little dry, astringent, and hoarse, "I don't know how to say it......", he looked at the strange workers around him, and sighed, "You already know the current situation of the factory, and I can't come up with any money......

Before he finished speaking, the workers closest to him suddenly became in an uproar, and this uproar was rapidly spreading to all sides, spreading, and the whole factory was noisy, so that in the end the factory owner also put away his unnecessary emotions, and indifferently watched the workers quarrel and make a fuss.

After another period of time, the noise could not be responded to, and the appeal could not be resolved, and they quieted down.

At this time, there was a hint of ridicule on the face of the factory owner, and it was also his own to these workers, but he quickly took it back.

"I will pay you what we produce at cost price. ”

"You can refuse to accept it, or even go to the union or the court to sue me, just so that I can file for bankruptcy protection, and everyone will play together!"

"If you're willing to accept it, go to the warehouse and get your 'paycheck!'" he said, turning straight back to the finance office, and then an accountant and several management began to come out to soothe his emotions.

Anderson stood like a puppet in the crowd, his mind full of noise and tinnitus, and the only thing he thought about at this moment was that the sky was falling.

In fact, he doesn't have to worry at all, because he will adapt quickly.

Some of the workers made a fuss, and some of them silently went to pick up the goods in stock, at least these things are more or less a thing, as long as it is a thing, it is valuable, it is better than nothing, isn't it?

Outside the warehouse, he numbly took out a pen and signed his name on the account book of receiving his salary, and then looked at the three large boxes of household appliances on the side, his brain buzzing.

The days to come...... What to do?

As soon as Anderson, who was carrying three suitcases, walked out of the factory gate, a strong wind blew, and suddenly something came with the wind and covered his face.

He tore it off, but it was a common poster all over the street, a man with an extraordinary appearance baring eight teeth, holding a glittering advertising slogan - "Eridai, a trace of a cow"
