Chapter 120
Two days later, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce welcomed a special guest to its factory on the outskirts of Bangta City.
"Miss Sevigny, please see, these two workshops are the current factories of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the building under construction next to it is our new magic machine tool workshop. According to the deadline given by Director Riley, within this month It can be put into use." Xu Yi stood in the square outside the workshop and introduced to Sevigny beside him one by one.
Wayne Riley, who was on the side, heard Xu Yi mention his name, and immediately put on a smile and nodded again and again; "Yes, if there is no accident, it can be used by the end of the month."
Sevigny glanced at the magic machine tool workshop, which covers an area of no more than 1,000 square meters, and then looked at the new workshop next to it, which was obviously nearly ten times larger, frowned and said: "Such a big house can be completed within a month. Is it built? Even if it is built, it can’t be put into use so soon, right? President Xu, are you too anxious?”
Xu Yi shrugged: "If Director Riley hadn't insisted on ensuring the quality of the project and didn't smear them with the Amra Guild, I would have even asked him to complete the project in the middle of the month."
Director Riley was overjoyed when he heard that Xu Yi had inadvertently praised himself and Director Amley.
Judging from Xu Yi's attitude of being so serious and even somewhat respectful, although this Miss Sevigny looks very young, she must be a very distinguished person. If she can leave a good impression in her heart, whether it is for Director Riley or All good things for the Amley Chamber of Commerce.
"President Xu, although the time requested by His Majesty is relatively tight, I hope that you will not put too much pressure on it and cause accidents. If those workers are hurt in any way, His Majesty and I will both feel uneasy. "Sevigny looked at Xu Yi with a sincere expression.
Xu Yi was slightly startled, looked at Sevigny, and found that her expression was very sincere, not like she was saying polite words against her heart, and thought about it. Nodding and smiling, "Don't worry, Miss Sevigny, I attach great importance to the safety of my workers. In addition, I am very assured of the abilities of the Amley Chamber of Commerce and Director Riley, and there should be no accidents."
Director Riley immediately reciprocated: "Miss Sevigny. You don't know. When it comes to the treatment of the employees, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the best. Don't say that there is no Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City. I'm afraid that there is no chamber of commerce in the entire Lampari Kingdom."
"Oh?" Sevigny looked at Director Riley and asked with interest: "What is the treatment of the employees of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce? Why do you say you think it is so good?"
Director Riley glanced at Xu Yi, and when he saw that he had nothing to say, he smiled: "Let's not say anything else, the workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only have a fixed working time of eight hours a day, and no chamber of commerce can compare to this. Get it."
"Eight hours a day for a fixed working time?" Sevigny looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "President Xu, is this true?"
Xu Yi smiled and nodded.
Of course Sevigny knew that Xu Yi would definitely not lie to her about something so easy to find out. Even more surprised now.
"Why is there such a rule? Although employees also need rest time, but only eight hours of regular work time, don't you think it's too little? You give employees so much time to rest, don't you think it's given to them Is the salary a little wasteful?"
Xu Yi's expression was a little weird, thinking that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now has too many orders. As a result, the workers work overtime every day. If they were put on the earth, they would definitely be called unscrupulous capitalists. Unexpectedly, they would be questioned here to give the workers too much time to rest and waste their wages.
"This...Miss Sevigny, workers are human too. Besides work, they should also have their own private time. In fact, Director Riley is not right. Recently, because the work of the Chamber of Commerce is too busy, the workers every day I have to work overtime, and there is not so much time for rest.”
Before Sevigny could speak, Director Riley couldn't help but said: "Come on, President Xu. The workers in your chamber of commerce don't want to work overtime. After the workers under my command heard your workers mention their overtime pay Some people even want to jump to your chamber of commerce."
"Overtime pay?" Sevigny was surprised again. "What is this?"
"Uh...that is, outside of the stipulated eight-hour working hours, if workers are required to work, they must be paid additional remuneration. These remunerations are called overtime pay." Xu Yi explained.
Sevigny looked at Xu Yi strangely: "President Xu, you are really a strange president. Your new flying chamber of commerce is also very strange. This is the first time I heard that the employees of the chamber of commerce have overtime pay. By the way. , President Xu, can I take the liberty to ask, what is the monthly salary of these employees of your chamber of commerce... workers?"
"It's not presumptuous, and it's not a secret." Xu Yi smiled and said, "If it is a fixed eight-hour working time and no overtime, the wages of the workers in these two workshops will be around eight gold coins. As for these two Because there is a lot of overtime in a month, it is usually between ten and sixteen gold coins.”
"So much?" Sevigny narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, then turned to Director Riley and asked, "Mr. Riley, can I ask what the monthly salary of your workers is?"
Director Riley gave a wry smile, looked at Xu Yi with a bit of resentment, hesitated for a moment, and then hesitantly replied; "This... different types of work, different salaries, currently a month is about... about four To about eight gold coins..." Seeing Sevigny's strange eyes, Director Riley couldn't help but defend; "Our Amley Chamber of Commerce's price is already high enough, and the other workers who build houses like us are one. The moon is only six gold coins at most! Miss Sevigny, you can't compare our Chamber of Commerce with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, President Xu... he..."
"What's wrong with me?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Under the staring gazes of Xu Yi and Sevigny, Director Riley laughed dryly for a long time, knowing that he could not escape after all, he lowered his voice and said: "This... President Xu, Miss Sevigny, you must not I said it. In fact, when many big bosses of the chambers of commerce in Bangta City talked about President Xu in private, they all said... they all said that President Xu was a complete loser..."
"Prodigal?" Xu Yi laughed dumbly: "Is it a prodigal if the workers' salaries are higher? I think they are too stingy?"
Director Riley waved his hands again and again: "President Xu, you can't talk nonsense. In fact, if you want to tell me, you are indeed a bit of a loser. It's just some ordinary employees, you must pay them such a high salary. What's more, your new flying business will offer employees such a high salary, what should we do with other business associations in Bangta City? Do you know that my workers have even protested to me several times. If it wasn't for Crewe President Si promised to give them some salary increases in the future. I'm afraid these workers have long quit."
Xu Yi looked at the somewhat indignant Director Riley, and thought that these words were not the intention of Director Riley, but the instigation of President Cruise, and it could also be regarded as a small gift from other businessmen in Bangta City. warn.
Xu also dismissed it.
compared to yourself. These guys are truly capitalists who squeeze the blood and sweat of the workers.
Of course, on the Sainz Continent, the actions of these guys are normal, but Xu Yi's actions are a little too abnormal, and the opinions of these people are also expected.
But Xu Yi didn't plan to change it according to their intentions.
Judging from the historical development of industries on the earth, it is actually not an appropriate approach to desperately lower the wages of workers, because this actually violates the laws of social and economic development, and it will inhibit economic development.
If the general public does not have enough economic ability to buy commodities, it means that the mass economic market is not active enough, but it will affect the circulation of commodities. This affects the profits of the chambers of commerce that sell goods, and ultimately forms a vicious circle.
However, a moderate increase in the wages of workers like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce allows workers to have enough economic strength to meet the basic needs of the family, while still having spare energy to purchase other commodities, which is easier to promote the circulation of commodities. Speed up economic development.
For example, the 200 human workers currently working in the home magic machinery production workshop, because they can get more than ten gold coins from the new flying chamber of commerce every month. Children buy some small toys.
Although these toys are not produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the chamber of commerce that produces these toys has benefited from it, so that the chamber of commerce can obtain more profits and create more jobs. Increase the economic income of other people.
This cycle continues, and eventually the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also benefit from it.
Take the magic fan as an example. In fact, a magic fan is only priced at two gold coins. If the per capita income of Bangta City can reach the level of the workers in the household magic machinery production workshop, then in fact, every family has enough. Strength to buy one.
In this way, the light is in the small Bangta City. Xinfei brand magic fans can sell tens of thousands of units, not just thousands of units like this summer.
Xu Yi felt that people like President Cruise might not understand these truths, and he didn't intend to waste time explaining these big truths to them. The best way is to just do it.
These guys are only likely to understand when the real benefits are presented to them.
As for now, Xu Yi also does not intend to change his approach.
After these thoughts quickly passed through his mind, Xu Yi paused and smiled at Director Riley: "It's okay, our chamber of commerce is preparing to expand the scale of production, and now we are planning to recruit some more workers. If workers don't want to do it, I welcome them to join our chamber of commerce."
Director Riley's color suddenly changed: "President Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Yi laughed, patted Director Riley on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing interesting, it's just a joke. Don't worry, Director Riley, please tell President Cruise that since we have joined the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce If there is a business union, it will definitely not make it difficult for everyone. Since the wages of the workers have risen, it is impossible to drop them for no reason. But in other areas, we can cooperate more, as long as everyone Even if they all earn gold coins, even if they pay the workers a little bit higher, that’s not a difficult thing to accept, don’t you think?”
Director Riley looked at Xu Yi with a gloomy expression on his face.
This Xu Yi, is this talking nonsense?
