Chapter 402: Charcoal in the Snow

This is a proper way to unload the mill and kill the donkey, run the factory, and after making money, Barnett plans to dump these old employees.

Of course, Barnett doesn't really need them anymore, otherwise he would have torn his face directly, and he really thought it was to give them face to these old employees? Is it still possible to have a relationship with the capitalists?

The work of sake brewing is not something that newcomers can do, and if they can, it is better to be old people, and their experience is incomparable to that of newcomers. When there is a problem, Cork and they can easily solve it.

But the brewery had reached a certain stage of development, and it was almost impossible to expand as wildly as before, and Barnett didn't want to spend as much money on the workers as he used to. You can't make money from the market, you can squeeze it from these workers, as long as it's money, there's nothing bad about it, the only bad thing may be that the money is too little.

Cork stared at Barnett coldly, feeling bad in his heart, and a breath of air was blocked in his heart, and it was difficult to vent.

"Stare at me?" Barnett mocked: "I just said, if you love to do it, you can get out if you don't do it!" ”

"Even half of your wages are much more than the rest of the people outside, don't be dissatisfied! If you have the ability, get out, I don't think you can afford to support your family. Barnett said arrogantly.

He has already eaten right, these workers, the older they get, the better they can handle, and when they are old and have a family, they can't make any mistakes, otherwise their families may be ruined. On the contrary, those young guys have no worries, so they won't do it if they don't dare to.

Barnett is sure that even if some of the workers are angry and will leave, it is impossible for all of them to leave, as long as there are those who stay, then his brewery can continue to operate, it is nothing more than to recruit some new people.

When that batch of newcomers is proficient, he can also fire the old people who remained, and if this goes on repeatedly, aren't these workers still in his hands? In the future, the price can be pushed down.

Barnett waved his hand angrily and said, "Get out, I'll give you a day to go back and think about it, if you don't want to do it, you won't use it tomorrow, and if you want to do it, you will continue to come tomorrow, don't mention the salary when you come, whoever mentions it will fire you!" ”

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became solidified, and after Barnett left, everyone left the office one after another.

It's completely different from the state when they first came here, they were imposing when they came, and now they are all in a state of malaise.

Even Corke, who took the lead, became a little confused, he didn't know what his purpose was, and he also recognized the reality, and understood how naΓ―ve he and the others were at the beginning, and the other party actually didn't take them seriously at all.

At this time, there was also a subtle discussion around.

"What should I do now?" Someone worried.

"I can't do it anymore, this Barnett doesn't treat us as human beings anymore, why should we continue to suffer here!"

Someone hesitated, "But...... We've been making wine for more than a decade, but what else can we do? And although the salary has been cut in half, the other jobs are not as much as this one. ”

"yes, what else can we do. I have five children at home, what if I don't have a job? ”

Listening to the words of these workers, Cork couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The corners of his mouth showed a wry smile, what kind of bullshit person in charge of this is, it is useless at all at a critical time. I thought it would be useful to stick together, but people didn't care about that at all.

Cork didn't know how he got home, and when he pushed the door open, his wife asked with concern, "How is it?" Is the money coming? I don't have much money at home now. ”

Cork shook his head, went straight back to the room without saying anything, and his wife roughly understood the outcome of the matter after seeing it, and she didn't put too much pressure on Cork, just left him alone.

During the meal, the wife called Cork again, but Cork did not answer, and the wife had a trace of worry in her heart, but in the end, she still let Cork stay alone and did not disturb too much.

Cork didn't know what he was thinking about lying on the bed, but he just had to think that even if his head was a mess, he wouldn't let himself go.

I don't know how long it took, but Cork felt that it was getting darker, but he still didn't mean to get up until his wife knocked on the door.

"Cork, there's a guest coming for you, get up and have a look."

Cork was stunned, got up from the bed, rubbed his face to make himself look more energetic, now that it was dark, he thought it should be a co-worker who came to find him.

After walking out the door, Cork looked at the two people in front of him with a surprised expression on his face.

"Lord of the Castle!"

Claire gave Cork a friendly smile, "Come here so late, don't bother." ”

Cork hurriedly shouted at his wife, "Go and get a chair, the other guests are standing." ”

There weren't any couches or anything like that in Cork's house, so Claire sat on a small wooden chair that could be heard squeaking and rubbing when he shook it vigorously.

Claire took the initiative to speak: "Do you want to think about things during the day today?" ”

"Let's go to my town and make wine, and we can discuss the conditions."

After hearing Claire's words, a trace of dazedness flashed in Cork's eyes, this morning's events had already made him doubt his judgment a little, and he didn't know how to choose.

Claire was not in a hurry after speaking, and did not take the initiative to persuade the other party or anything, just watched the other party give him enough time to think.

Lorna glanced at the hesitant Cork, knowing in her heart that the other party would definitely agree. At noon today, the quarrel between Cork and Barnett was clearly seen by Rhona not far away. The previous invitation gave the other party one more choice, and in this case, Claire invited the other party again, and with the conditions given by Claire, it was really not a problem to win them.

Rhona also understood what Claire said, it should be mine, it will always be mine.

Sure enough, just as Lorna predicted, within a few minutes, Cork in front of him raised his head and asked, "What kind of conditions can you give?" ”

After the other party said this, Rhona quickly looked at Claire, and sure enough, his face did not fluctuate much at all, as if this was a matter of course.

"Each person earns a gold coin a month, which is the basic salary, in addition to the bonuses that you get when the brewery sells beer, as well as various subsidies in normal times. The sum of the zeros and zeros should be about twenty-five gold coins for your workers' wages. Claire said softly, these are considered technicians, and more than twenty gold coins are not very expensive.

After listening to Claire's words, Cork's eyes were about to pop out, twenty-five gold coins? They used to be just over ten gold coins, so their wages would be doubled.
