Chapter 80 Job Fair
Aside from a congratulations to Pete, Hawkeye Hank barely said a word and kept enjoying his meal earnestly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Renaud was also quietly observing this person, he didn't have the shrewd appearance of a businessman at all, he was the type that he couldn't recognize in the crowd, how he looked like an ordinary passerby.
But he found a huge market for toilet paper at a glance, which shows that the name Hawkeye is not called in vain.
People are really compared, Badge is already a careful and intelligent person, and in terms of vision, it is still too far behind.
At the end of the meal, Renault pulled out a white and soft tissue from a delicate little box, something he had made purely for personal habit. The cost is still low, the process is quite cumbersome, and some of the raw materials used for bleaching are not easy to find, so it cannot be mass-produced at present.
Hank also unceremoniously pulled one, first sniffed it, there was a faint scent of oranges, then he gently tore the tissue in half, probably to test the toughness of the tissue, and finally he wiped his mouth like Renault.
"Lord Renault, this is a genius idea!" Hank exclaimed, holding a piece of toilet paper.
"Oh?" Renault looked at him with interest, wanting to hear what he had to say about toilet paper towels, "do you think it's convenient?"
"It's not just convenient, I bet that if this kind of paper is sold to the royal capital, it will immediately become the new favorite of the nobles!"
Renault is also a little funny, he has great expectations for writing white paper and glass is currently not favored, but toilet paper is so highly rated.
He clapped his hands and had a complete box of tissues brought up to Hank as a gift.
"Lord Renault, if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to you about paper now...... Power of attorney issues. Hank knew best how to strike while the iron was hot, and immediately brought it up, "I want the agency of the entire Oro Continent." ”
The appetite is not small, and if paper towels are sold to the people, they will not be sold at any price.
But if it is operated by Hank, the effect will be different, although the amount will be much smaller, but it will take the luxury route.
It's a win-win.
So Renault readily agreed: "Okay, we can negotiate the price." ”
Hank was slightly stunned, he was very good at observing words and feelings, and figuring out people's hearts. Renault didn't take this kind of tissue in his eyes at all, and his natural instinct told him that the goods that Black Iron Town was going to produce would be far more than just Liucui wine and paper towels.
How many surprises await him?
"Lord Renault, we can negotiate the price slowly," Hank immediately made a bold decision, "I still have a small request. ”
"Please. ”
"I want to buy a house in Black Iron Town, and I want to live here for a long time in the future. ”
Pete, who was on the sidelines, was surprised to hear this.
The so-called no profit does not get up early, Hawkeye Hank has been looking for business opportunities all year round, why does he suddenly want to settle in Black Iron Town now?
What are you kidding, is he going to retire?
Definitely not, the only possibility is that he thinks Black Iron Town will produce more things that interest him!
Instead of running around, it's better to wait for the rabbit!
Renaud also quickly understood his intentions and finally understood why people would call him "Hawkeye".
Being able to grasp possible business opportunities in a split second is indeed a very discerning businessman.
If there are a few long-term business partners like him, the goods of Black Iron Town will not be sold.
Next, about the price of paper, the two of them took some thought.
It's something that has never existed before, and no one can guarantee the degree to which it will be accepted and demanded.
In the end, it was Hank who made an opinion, paid some deposits first, and then negotiated the specific price after the first batch of paper towels was sold.
Renault thought about it and agreed, believing that Hank would not play some tricks to conceal the actual price for such a small profit.
The most important thing is that the cost of toilet paper is really low, and he will not lose money no matter how he sells it.
Pete left in a hurry before the two could negotiate a price, and to be Tony's right-hand man, he was nimble enough.
From Hank's unusual behavior, he also smelled the interest.
He completely entrusted the Skyfish to the first mate, and he hurried back to Little Wolf Castle with his escort.
There is a huge business opportunity lurking in Black Iron Town, and he needs to meet Tony before the second group of merchants arrives to start more cooperation with Renault.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before the merchants who came to Black Iron Town would trample the docks to the ground, and at that time, he would have to pay more to negotiate cooperation with Renault.
......
For the more than 100 workers who followed the merchant ship Tianyu, Renault first let them all stay and temporarily arranged to go to the chase shop in the accommodation building.
Most of these people are coolies, and they are a little excited to stay in Black Iron Town, and they can't wait to get started.
The next day, the Guards led them to a place called the Great Hall.
Those who were lucky enough to meet the temple sanctuary secretly compared it. Although it does not have the magnificence of the sanctuary, the grand structure and huge space of the auditorium are still quite imposing.
After their names were registered, Badge hurried in.
Behind him there was a lot of noise among the people behind him, the blacksmith Ferrier, the Solo who was in charge of the blast furnace, the head of the paper workshop, and of course, Lauren, the grizzly bear who had not recovered from his serious injuries.
His grizzly-like burly figure made people feel oppressed, and the noisy auditorium was silent for a moment.
Badge gave a concise overview of the jobs available to them, as well as the general requirements and pay levels for each position, and then asked them to tailor their work.
These people have always acted according to orders, where have they ever encountered this kind of thing that can still choose their own work, all kinds of questions and puzzles, so that the escort in charge of the explanation is very busy.
The first job fair in Black Iron Town unfolded in such a mess.
Lauren has the highest priority, as he is not only responsible for leading the convoy, but also for mining. In addition to being physically strong, these people must also have a certain loyalty, so he only needs young people between the ages of sixteen and eighteen.
He was very picky about people, and he removed more than 1,000 people who had been captured from Rohina, and in the end he took less than 100 people.
After some selection, this time he took only ten more, and they will undergo three months of physical training. Those who pass will be incorporated into the official guard, and those who are not qualified will also get a job.
Then there was some dispute between the blacksmith Ferrette and Solo, they both wanted young people, and they had to be flexible, and when they came to the end of the quarrel, they were shocked to find that the head of the paper workshop had taken away more than two dozen without a word.
The clam sandpiper competed with the fisherman for profit, and Ferree simply slapped his ass and left.
The so-called rather scarce than indiscriminate, lathe belongs to technical work, and the rest of the people seem to be powerful, but to let these coolies who don't know a big word to operate the lathe, it is estimated that they will not be able to learn it for half a year.
After careful selection, Solo took more than 30 people with him, and the new coke oven and blast furnace were designed with Renault's participation, adding a lot of automation, saving a lot of manpower.
In the end, there were close to forty people left, all of whom had obvious things in common: they were older, unskilled, and unresponsive.
According to Renault's principle, these people would not have been accepted by Black Iron Town. However, Nian Zai was one of the first workers to come to support the construction of Black Iron Town, and Renault made an exception to temporarily let them belong to Lauren and transfer ore from the mine in a horse-drawn cart.
After all, once the blast furnace is put into production, the city wall and mine track will be built, and factories will be built one after another, so it is still necessary for such a team to export pure labor.
