Ernst said casually, which only made Mayne feel a little funny, and he didn't know how to make a bet on this at will, but the boss insisted on this, and he couldn't say anything, and he strictly checked the results of the Mauser brothers, and if there was anything wrong, he would reject their plan, which was his duty as the factory director.

Although Mayne didn't know much about firearms design because of his own lack of imagination, he had a persistent scrutiny of firearms, or rather rigor and rigidity that made him the factory manager.

"Your Highness, if their design is flawed, I won't let them pass." Mayne said.

"Mr. Mayne, this is where your help is needed, and I am sure that your more than twenty years of experience in the industry can help them with the last step," Ernst said. ”

Mayne said: "For your sake, I'll give them this chance, and if they really have talent, I'll support them strongly." ”

……

Far East, Jiaozhou Textile Mill.

"East African textile mills, recruiting workers, preferential treatment, food and accommodation, can take the whole family to live in East Africa, this is a good opportunity, if anyone wants to go, can raise their hands." Carlton, the director of the factory, said to the employees at the staff meeting.

However, no one raised their hands at the venue, and although the treatment of Jiaozhou Textile Factory was not very good, it was better than stability, so the employees did not think of the development of East Africa, which was thousands of miles away.

"Since no one wants to go, then we can only draw lots to pick people, this is the task assigned above, you are not willing to take the initiative to go to East Africa, then it can only depend on luck, the whole family of the person who was selected went to East Africa, or you can resign early." Carlton said.

Carlton's words caused a commotion among the workers in the factory, and now everyone is afraid, East Africa is strange and distant to them, who knows what will happen if they really go there, and it will be impossible to return when the time comes.

An employee plucked up the courage to ask, "Director Carlton!" Why do we have to go to East Africa? ”

Carlton said: "Naturally, East Africa is relatively short of people, especially textile workers, and they also know that the investors of Jiaozhou Textile Factory are the Heixingen royal family, and the Heixingen royal family is the ruler of the East African Kingdom, so it is the decision of the factory, and it is also the meaning of the kingdom." ”

"Is there a guarantee of treatment in East Africa? When we go abroad, we will call the heavens and the earth unspiritual! Someone questioned.

Carlton smiled and said, "Do you mean that your treatment can be guaranteed here?" In fact, it doesn't take too far, go north, Yantai also has a factory invested by the British, you can go to inquire about how the British treat Chinese employees, but your officials don't even let out a fart, the same is true of Jiaozhou, to put it mildly, the treatment of Jiaozhou textile factory is beyond the standard in the same type of enterprises in the Far East, that is, His Royal Highness Ernst is kind enough to give you such a good treatment. ”

As soon as Carlton said this, the employees below had nothing to say, the facts are the facts, the most important thing here is manpower, and Carlton is a foreigner, that is the existence of the official who has to bend down when he sees it, so they really want to bully themselves, and they are really bullied.

Looking at the silent workers, Carlton said: "After going to East Africa, you will become an East African national, East Africa is a country with sound laws, the law will protect your rights and interests, or at least everyone is equal before the law, you don't have to worry too much about the security of East Africa, the most important thing is that prices in East Africa are very stable and cheap, unlike you here, with the same salary, the cost of living in East Africa is lower, not to mention that the wages in East Africa are higher than those in the Far East." ”

"Director Carlton, since the treatment is so good, why don't you recruit workers from your own country, but from us?"

Carlton said: "This is a good treatment for you, but for our people it is a matter of course, naturally it is not very attractive, they are more keen to work in other industries, so we are recruiting workers in the Far East, and the same is the reason for the construction of the Jiaozhou textile factory, because your wages are low." ”

Carlton was blunt, but this is the case in this era, not to mention salary, some people can eat two meals a day, and they are considered well-off.

"Okay, having said all that, did you change your mind and take the initiative to go to East Africa? Rest assured, your value is not so high, and you are still engaged in the textile industry in East Africa. ”

Carlton looked at the inactive employees and said helplessly: "In this case, then we can only draw lots, so it is fair for you, if you are lucky, you will go to East Africa, and if you are unlucky, you will continue to stay in the factory." ”

In the end, Carlton selected more than 3,000 people from the factory by lottery, even if they were reluctant to go to East Africa.

"Director Carlton, we can bring the whole family over when we go to East Africa, is this true?"

"Of course, and they can be guaranteed jobs and food and shelter."

"Ahh And this good thing, why didn't you just say it? ”

The employees originally thought that they only had jobs in the past, so they could only feed their families by themselves, and there was no difference from the Far East.

"Ahh Didn't I say that? I thought you all knew? Carleton was a little stunned, "After all, this is common knowledge in East Africa. ”

Carlton was indeed from East Africa, so he automatically brought the Far East into East Africa.

Hearing that their families also had jobs in East Africa, the workers who had been sad just now turned to ecstasy, and this is not a bad thing to go to East Africa.

"But there is one thing, let me make it clear first, unless you have special skills in your family, such as carpenters, bricklayers...... Otherwise, you can only work as an ordinary peasant in East Africa. Carlton said as he looked at the workers who were talking to each other.

The employees don't matter, the current situation is that some people who want to be farmers may not be able to be, even if they are tenant farmers for the landlord, they have to be upside down.

"Director Carlton, is being a farmer in East Africa the same as here?"

Carlton shook his head and said, "It's not the same, it's a bit like a worker, and it's also a salary." ”

"Food and lodging too?"

"Yes."

"That's good, our family is not afraid of hardship, and we can work like East Africa."

……

The Kingdom of East Africa recruited textile workers from the Far East to hedge against Italian textile workers, and the newly planned textile mill in Nairobi, the influx of Italians almost turned it into an Italian city, so East Africa needed to dilute Italian workers with immigrants from other regions.

Therefore, the employees of the Jiaozhou textile factory were mobilized from East Africa, and when the time came, they mixed with the Italian workers in the factory.
