Chapter 138 The Problem of Hiring
The next day, near noon, the caravan finally came to the Woller werewolf tribe.
I don't know if it was an illusion or not, but Xu Yi felt that this time Lei Ming? Waller's patriarch's attitude towards them became a little more cautious than the last time.
Especially when facing Xu Yi, this attitude change is very obvious.
Last time, Patriarch Woller gave Xu Yi a look of disdain, but this time, when he saw Xu Yi, he even took the initiative to show a smile.
Although the smile on his wolf head was ugly and even terrifying, it was enough to show his enthusiasm for Xu Yi.
Of course, this may also be because he received 500,000 gold coins from humans like Xu Yi.
Even the orcs have to live.
With these 500,000 gold coins, the Woller werewolf tribe can buy a lot of urgently needed living items from humans, improve the lives of the entire tribe, and consolidate his position as the patriarch. Others are also more enthusiastic.
The caravan rested temporarily in the Woller Werewolf Tribe. After lunch, the guards escorted the caravan to the non-ferrous metal vein next to the tribe.
Mining is not something that can be done in one or two days. According to the plan, the three chambers of commerce will now build a living base next to the mine, so that the workers in charge of the preliminary projects can live and live.
After that, a series of subsequent equipment and labor will be delivered one after another, and this ore vein will be truly mined.
According to estimates, this time will be about three to four months.
But the real problem with this mine, compared to mine, is the logistics.
After all, this mine is on the black rice wasteland, and it is not too close to the nearest town of Samara. It will be quite difficult to carry out various logistical supplies.
In order to ensure this, the three decided after consultation. First, let the Amri Chamber of Commerce send a construction team to build the road leading to the town of Samara from the Woller werewolf tribe.
In this way, the delivery time between the small town of Samara and the Woller werewolf tribe can be shortened to half a day, and the orcs who intend to loot can be avoided.
As for the logistics materials, the three chambers of commerce will reasonably transport them to the small town of Samara and store them in advance. You can ship it when you need it.
After solving this initial problem, the Amli Chamber of Commerce will seize the time to build a road connecting Bangta City to the town of Samara.
In this regard, Xu Yi's suggestion is that instead of rebuilding a road connecting Bangta City directly to Samara Town, it is better to build a road connecting Samara Town to Rainfall Valley.
Although this will make a small circle, the total distance may increase by dozens of kilometers, but because of the existence of the rainy road, the Amri Chamber of Commerce does not need to build more than 100 kilometers of roads at a time. It will undoubtedly save a lot of money and time by only building a highway of about 60 to 70 kilometers between the Rainfall Valley and the small town of Samara.
In addition to the material problem, the most troublesome thing for the three people is actually the problem of the workers.
The Black Rice Wasteland is the territory of the orcs, and in the eyes of most humans, the orcs are hideous and vicious. It is not friendly to humans, so it is basically unnecessary. Generally, no human will come to the territory of the orcs.
And if you want to mine this ore vein, it is bound to send a lot of workers.
However, requiring human workers to live and work in orc territory for a long time is too difficult.
For this reason, when the three chambers of commerce hired workers, they all promised high salaries, even close to thirty gold coins a month.
Yet even so. Willing human workers are still far from meeting demand.
When the three discussed the problems to be faced next, every time they discussed this, they felt a little unsustainable.
Before, the three of them could only say that they should take their time. Under the temptation of high salaries, they must be able to recruit enough human workers.
But this time, when he came to the Woller werewolf tribe, and felt the change in the attitude of the head of Lei Ming, the Woller patriarch, Xu Yi thought of a new possibility.
After lunch, Xu Yi met with Patriarch Woller and made his request to him.
"Do you want our clansmen to work for you?" Patriarch Woller stared at Xu Yi with astonished eyes. I wonder if this man is crazy?
Before that, the connection between the orcs and humans was only to take what they needed from each other and make deals that didn't hurt. Other than that, they only had to kill each other, and there was no other connection at all.
This time these humans said they were going to mine near their tribe. Even paying him 500,000 gold coins was enough to surprise him.
Now this human is still saying that he wants to hire his own people to work for their chamber of commerce, which is too outrageous.
"Is there any problem?" Xu Yi smiled, as if he couldn't see the surprise of Patriarch Woller. "I think you should know now, Patriarch Voler, that there are not only human workers, but also elf workers and dwarf workers in our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. So I don't think it's surprising that there are more orc workers?"
Patriarch Woller knew this, but he still felt a little strange.
"Why are those dwarves, even those annoying elves willing to work for you? What benefits have you given them?" Patriarch Voler asked curiously.
"It's nothing special. I just provided them with jobs, and then paid them salaries and benefits on time, just like human workers." Xu Yi spread his hands.
"It's that simple? Those guys are willing to honestly work in your chamber of commerce?"
"It's that simple." Xu Yi nodded. "I don't think this is unacceptable, whether it is dwarves or elves, they also need to survive, don't they? Work in our chamber of commerce can get a stable salary, and then use these salaries to buy what they want. What's wrong with that?"
"You said...they can buy everything they want with gold coins?" Patriarch Voler asked immediately.
"Yes. Because I applied for a labor certificate to the Kingdom Council for them. During the effective period of the labor certificate, whether they are dwarves or elves, they can enjoy the same treatment as ordinary human residents in the kingdom. Of course, they can buy any of them with money. Need something." After a pause, Xu Yi added: "Of course, there are many things that even human residents can't buy, and they are no exception."
"Labor certificate? It's so powerful?" Patriarch Waller immediately became interested in the concept of "labor certificate", grabbed Xu Yi and asked him to explain it for a long time, and only then did he understand the specific meaning of this thing.
"That is to say... if our clansmen work in your chamber of commerce, and you apply for a labor certificate for them, they can go to your human world with gold coins to buy whatever they want? You promise that the money they spend will be the same as yours. Humans spend exactly the same amount of money when they buy things?" Patriarch Worrall asked again.
"I can't guarantee this." Xu Yi shook his head. "But what I can guarantee is that if a product is clearly priced as a gold coin, then humans will spend one gold coin to buy it, and orcs with labor certificates will only spend one gold coin. Merchants I won't ask you for more money just because you're an orc."
"That's enough!" Patriarch Voler patted the table hard, and the wolf's head was full of joy. "You goddamn human merchants... Oh, sorry, President Xu, I'm not talking about you. In short, when we used to buy things from you humans, we could only exchange things for things, but we couldn't buy them with money. I know that the things we exchange for can actually sell more money in your human world, but there is no way, if we don't exchange, the human merchants won't give us at all. If you have this labor certificate, it will be great too much."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Patriarch Woller, are you worried about your 500,000 gold coins?"
Patriarch Woller opened his mouth wide and hit the sky with a haha.
Although Xu Yi and the other three paid him 500,000 gold coins for the purchase of the non-ferrous metal lode last time, as a werewolf, Patriarch Woller knows that even if he spends these 500,000 gold coins to buy the various things the tribe needs from humans. All kinds of materials will definitely be pitted, so he has been worried about how to use these half a million gold coins.
Now that Xu Yi suddenly proposed something like a labor certificate, he immediately saw hope.
"President Xu, if you are willing to do me a favor, I can agree to your request and let the clansmen do the work for you." Chief Waller said.
Xu Yi smiled, seeing the look of anticipation on Patriarch Worrer's face, he didn't even need to guess what he wanted him to do to help him.
"I'm afraid I really can't help with this, you should talk to President Leelsa."
"Reelsa?" Patriarch Woller snorted coldly with a cloud of white air spewing out of his nostrils. "This shameful human has been tricking us long enough, do you still want me to believe him?"
"There's no way." Xu Yi spread his hands, helplessly. "After all, Patriarch Raelsa and I are partners, and I can't reach such an agreement with you without telling him. The trade between the orcs and humans is basically the responsibility of the Renekton Chamber of Commerce. If I promise you, I and I am afraid that there will be no possibility of cooperation between President Reelsa in the future."
"But if you don't promise me, there is no possibility of cooperation between us." Patriarch Woller said unceremoniously.
"No, Patriarch Voler, things are not so absolute." Xu Yi remained unmoved, and still smiled: "Although I can't promise you to help you solve this problem, I can help you and President Reelsa. Negotiate to get him to meet your needs. What do you think?"
Patriarch Woller looked at Xu Yi suspiciously: "Do you really want to help me?"
"Precisely, I want to help everyone if I reach my goals. I used to call this a win-win, but now it's a multi-win."
Patriarch Woller thought for a while, then nodded slowly.
