Chapter 30: After Mass Layoffs
As soon as the news of the large-scale layoffs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce broke, it immediately shocked everyone in several nearby countries.
Although it is normal for the Chamber of Commerce to dismiss employees it does not need, it is simply unique for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to lay off more than 18,000 employees in one go.
Many people's first reaction when they learned the news was that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was going to be finished.
Because under normal circumstances, a chamber of commerce would only carry out large-scale layoffs like it does now when it is in a state of decline.
When it is on the rise, the Chamber of Commerce will only continue to recruit a large number of employees to ensure that its business continues to grow.
But before that, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had been continuously recruiting workers openly.
Even just half a month ago, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was using all channels to publish news in the Duchy of Stantin and several surrounding countries to recruit, so why is it suddenly firing so many employees in one go now?
Is it just because of the timing of the strike that broke out before the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?
It would be too strict to lay off so many employees in one go just because they participated in the strike.
For a time, because of the strike and large-scale layoffs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, people in several surrounding countries launched a fierce debate, and major newspapers published corresponding articles almost every day to discuss this and report on the follow-up development.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was originally the most concerned chamber of commerce in the surrounding countries, and now because of these two things that happened in a row, it has become the focus of everyone's attention.
Just for different people. The focus is different.
Most ordinary people just watch the hilarity. And the people who have business dealings with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But he paid more attention to what kind of impact these two things would have on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Especially those who have placed orders with the new flying chamber of commerce are extremely worried.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always been short of production capacity, and now it has fired more than 18,000 workers in one go, which will inevitably greatly affect normal production, and the production capacity will only be even more insufficient.
As they expected, after the large-scale layoffs, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce immediately sent a letter of apology to all customers who placed orders, saying that it was because of the recent internal changes in the chamber of commerce. Production has been affected to a certain extent, and the time to complete the order may be slightly delayed.
And the customers who received this letter could only reluctantly accept it.
There is no way, although there are currently chambers of commerce that produce a large number of magic machines in several surrounding countries, but except for the field of household magic machinery, the rest of the magic machinery is currently only manufactured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and they can't find other chambers of commerce to replace it.
Even in the field of household magic machinery, the new flying brand household magic machinery is also the best and most high-end household magic machinery for all workers, and there is no one.
When many people buy household magic machinery, they recognize the new flying brand, and they don't buy it.
So despite the announcement of the new flying chamber of commerce, production was affected. The order was postponed, but the vast majority of people were still patiently waiting for the resumption of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Instead of thinking about other brands of household magic machines.
Of course, there are still a small number of people who will still consider buying other brands of household magic machines because they need it urgently.
So in the period after these two major events happened in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the sales of other brands of household magic machinery invariably increased in different ways.
And these other brands of household magic machinery, there are several brands of performance, quality after several years of development has been quite good, even if it is still not as good as the new flying brand household magic machinery, but in the lower price advantage than the new flying brand household magic machinery, but it has also been recognized by many people.
To sum up, these two things that happened to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had a great impact on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but it was a very good opportunity for other chambers of commerce that produced magic machinery.
And for the other Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce, compared to the temporary increase in sales, the biggest attention of the vast majority of the Chamber of Commerce was on the more than 18,000 workers who were dismissed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
These workers are all skilled workers who have worked in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for at least one year, and if they can gain a foothold in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then it proves that they have enough skills and experience, and for other magic machinery chambers of commerce, each of them is a rare talent.
So after the news of the dismissal of more than 18,000 workers by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came out, countless people poured into the Duchy of Stantin, and found the workers who were dismissed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the first time and robbed them.
It only took half a month for the more than 18,000 workers who were dismissed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to find jobs.
Because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also gave each worker a minimum of 50 gold coins in compensation when dismissing these workers, these workers actually did not have any substantial losses at all, and completed the identity change from a worker of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to a worker of other chambers of commerce very smoothly.
And because countless chambers of commerce are competing with each other, when these dismissed workers enter other chambers of commerce, the salaries they get are even higher than the salaries they received before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
Compared to the time when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it might be more advantageous.
For a while, even many workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who were not on the list of dismissed workers were also fluctuating because of this.
"Hey, Archie, don't you really think about it?" a sallow young man asked with an expectant look as he stopped Archie, who had just left home. "The monthly salary given by the Domino Chamber of Commerce is much higher than that of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is enough to give me twenty-five gold coins a month! You have now been admitted to the second-level welder grade certificate, if you go with me, you will definitely get more than me, maybe there will be thirty gold coins!"
Archie frowned, waved his hand irritably, and snorted coldly, "Don't go." Luther, you can go if you like, don't always come and pull me around. Really, I don't know? The Domino Chamber of Commerce has privately made a condition for you, as long as you help them pull someone over, they will give you a reward of ten gold coins. Am I right?"
The young man known as Luthor immediately put on a look of grievance. He shouted, "That's what the Domino Chamber of Commerce did. But the gods are above. Archie, I want you to go too, just because you are my friend, and I want you to be with me! If you are willing to come, I will give you the ten gold coins that Domino gave me, and I will not keep a single copper coin!
"Then I'm not going either. Archie said coldly. "I'm doing well in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now, and I've never thought of going to other chambers of commerce. It's you, Luther. Since you still regard me as a friend, then I advise you, don't look at the fact that you can get a higher monthly salary at the Domino Chamber of Commerce now, but have you ever thought about what will happen in the future? Can the Domino Chamber of Commerce be on a par with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce? Can you get the same benefits as the New Flying Chamber of Commerce at the Domino Chamber of Commerce? Can you still get a pension even when you are old and immobile?"
Luthor pouted: "Cut, do you think you can get it by staying in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Don't look at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now, but the ghost knows how long the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can still save zĂ i, and maybe it will go out of business tomorrow." â
Archie raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Luther, don't think that you can curse it here at will if you leave the New Flying Chamber of Commerce! So I hold a grudge, but I also advised you at the beginning. Don't follow those guys to mess around. Now that he has been dismissed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because of his trouble, is it still to blame others?"
Luther's neck stiffened, and he exclaimed, "What's wrong with my request for higher treatment? Isn't this okay? Why can those dwarves be treated so well, but we human workers can't? If you want me to say, it's the elders who are prejudiced at all! He protects the aliens in the Chamber of Commerce, but never values us human workers! Is he still human?"
Looking at Luther's excited face, Archie calmed down.
Squinting at Luthor for a moment, Archie calmly continued, "Luther, there are three dwarven mechanics in your mana air conditioning assembly workshop, right?"
"Yes, it's because these three dwarven mechanics are so much better paid and paid than the other human workers in our workshop. If the Elder Adults give us the same treatment, how can we make trouble, why should they be treated better than us when everyone is doing the same job?" said Luthor with an indignant expression.
Archie let out a sneer: "Luther, if I'm not mistaken, the youngest of the three dwarven mechanics in your workshop also has a fourth-level technical certificate, and there is more than one type of work, right?"
Luthor snorted, "So what?"
"What about you?" Archie sneered again. "You haven't even taken the second-level welder grade so far, have you?"
Luther's face turned slightly red, and then he said angrily, "What are you doing? Do you want to laugh at me? Don't think that you can laugh at me if you pass the second-level welder exam? You're not much better than me, okay?"
Archie shook his head slightly, "I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about the three dwarven mechanics." Don't you really blush when you can't even pass the second-level welder level, but you shout that you want to get the same treatment as the dwarven mechanics who have at least the fourth-level technical level certificate?"
Luthor paused, waved his hand in annoyance, and said loudly, "Hey, Archie, which side are you on? Are you, like the Elder, speaking for the dwarves? You're still not human? Or aren't you my friend?"
Archie stared at Luthor and said word by word, "I'm human, but I'm on the side of reason. The Elder has long said that the more capable you are, the better you are treated, and it is the same for all workers, human beings and other races. As for you...... Luther, if you continue to mess around like this, then ...... Let's break up. â
"Break up?" Luthor looked at Archie blankly, couldn't help but take two steps back, pointed at Archie, and said tremblingly, "You...... You're trying to protect a few dwarves, and you're going to ...... You want to break up with me? I ...... We've been friends since we were kids......."
Archie's expression softened slightly, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly and walked over and patted Luthor on the shoulder.
"Luther, if you're not having a good time at the Domino's Chamber of Commerce, try to find a way back. Believe me, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is much more promising than all the chambers of commerce, and it is far better to stay here with peace of mind than in other chambers of commerce. â
Without waiting for Luthor to say anything, he turned and left.
Luthor stared blankly at Archie's departing back, and after a moment, a hint of anger welled up in his heart, and he snorted heavily, and turned to walk in the other direction.
The Domino Chamber of Commerce agreed, and as long as he could pull a worker from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he would be paid fifty gold coins in private.
Archie didn't agree, he had to hurry up and find someone else. (To be continued......)
