Chapter 29 Temporary Workers

Li Ming didn't mind much when he saw the old Kutou like this, the attitude towards these local natives could not be blindly tough, let alone unrestrained Huairou. He has a lot of things to do every day, how can he have time to spend here, so Li Ming is not going to say any nonsense, so Li Ming asked Liu Handong to be the translator, and straightforwardly told the company the plan agreed upon before and the old Kutou.

The general meaning is that the Far Eastern Company tries not to disturb the life of the fishing village, and if the people of the village want to continue trading with the company, it is no problem. There is also the elderly and children in the village, if they get sick, they can also go to the company for treatment at any time, but the treatment is paid, and the village needs to pay a certain fee, and the asking price cannot be too low.

It's not that the company is stingy, the rules are the rules, and it's best to ask the villain first and then the gentleman, even if you give them free medical care in the future, then you have to set this rule at the beginning. Although the people in the fishing village are very simple, human nature is very complicated, and once they taste the sweetness, who dares to guarantee that they will not have any other ideas in the future.

Because Li Mingtian considered the problem of manpower shortage, he also expressed to Lao Kutou that he wanted to hire people in the village, and the company was now short of labor, and if he hired people from the village to do some heavy work, it could still temporarily solve the company's current shortage of manpower.

Kulutu lowered his head and thought for a long time, finally picked up the wine glass on the table, and said a few words to Li Ming, and Liu Handong next to him excitedly translated to Li Ming.

"Lao Kutou agreed to your terms, but he told you to keep your promise and not disturb life in the village."

Li Ming was also very happy to listen to Liu Handong's words, and Li Ming was also very conflicted about the relationship with the fishing village, neither wanting to conflict with them nor affecting the company's development plan. Although the agreement with Lao Kutou was only lip service, at least for the time being, the work of the advance team would not be disturbed.

Next, Lao Kutou and Li Ming discussed the next step of the transaction, as well as the company's employment of people from their village. For the transaction with the company, the old warehouse head is still more enthusiastic, but he is not so concerned about hiring people from the village.

Li Ming didn't take it seriously, he already had some ideas in his heart, this can't be rushed, it is not an overnight thing to change their thinking. Early the next morning, Li Ming asked the people below the company to take a batch of small bags of refined salt, sugar, stainless steel tableware and some daily necessities in this material to Song Tao to take them to the fishing village to trade.

For this transaction, Li Ming has only one meaning, to raise the price as much as possible, so that the people in the village know the preciousness of these materials. Then he recruited the young people in the village on a large scale, and agreed with them that as long as they accepted the company's employment and worked for our company for a day, they could not only take care of two meals, but also exchange them for these trading goods by going out of work.

Song Tao led the company's people to the village, which once again caused a sensation, looking at the snow-white refined salt, white sugar, and shining stainless steel tableware, the ladies and ladies in the village were crazy, but when they asked the price, they were almost scared to death, a bag of refined salt and a bag of sugar, and a lot of mountain goods were needed to get it.

Just when they were distressed about whether to change or not, Liu Handong said another way to get these things in a timely manner. That's how they can work in exchange for these trading items, and the company can manage two meals. Hearing this, the people of the village immediately cheered, and they all chose to work in the company in exchange for the goods they fancied.

The work-for-goods plan has been made, and you can exchange a bag of refined salt or white sugar for a day of work, which is extremely expensive, but it still caused a sensation in the village, and the villagers are vying to sign up for employment with Far Eastern companies. Basically, all the gentlemen from every family came, and some even led their own half-grown children to register together.

The next day, the men from all over the village were young and strong, and they were led to the base by Song Tao, but they were not immediately allowed to enter the base, and several people from the medical team helped them do a simple physical examination, and then a group of men were ordered to strip naked, and got into the tents set up by two Soviet anti-chemical shower trucks for anti-chemical disinfection, and even took a good bath.

When they came out of the shower, each of them also received a set of brand-new labor protection equipment, including a set of 85-style polyester card autumn clothes, a pair of high-waisted liberation shoes, an armed belt, two sets of labor protection gloves, a green military satchel, a 78-style military kettle, and I don't know who spoofed them to get a 65-style military hat. From a distance, I thought it was a group of Red Guards who had crossed over.

There was also a sealed cloth bag with their original clothes inside. These clothes are not allowed to be brought into the base and are kept outside the security post. Many people think that this is redundant, and they believe that modern people can kill most germs in this era with antibiotics left in their bodies. But Li Ming still decided to let them carry out chemical protection and decontamination.

Although these benefits are nothing in the eyes of the Far East Company, they make the gang of gentlemen in the village happy and stupid, Tai Nima is good, he has sent so many things before he gets to work, and he can change a generation of snow-white salt for a day, where to find such a good thing. The people of the Far Eastern Company deceived a group of local natives, which was really a last resort, so they wanted to find some compensation for these people in other aspects.

In addition, in order to win over these local natives, they are the first batch of temporary workers of Far Eastern Company in another time and space, try to make them feel the rich benefits of Far Eastern Company, and try to win over the locals in other places as much as possible.

When Li Ming led these 100 village masters to the temporary headquarters, they were immediately robbed by various departments, and with this group of strong and healthy temporary workers, the pressure on various departments was immediately reduced a lot. The rough work and heavy goods in everyone's eyes are not a problem at all in the eyes of this group of stout men, one by one with shovels and pickaxes, they are doing it hard, and they have been stunned for a day.

At noon, they ate the base soup of braised pork, and added some large bones and cabbage and tofu to boil a large pot dish, and the staple food was white rice or steamed buns. In the evening, it was the base soup of potato roast beef, and some stewed vegetables made of potato and beef offal were added, and the white rice and steamed buns were still enough. They were also served with two pickles from Shakou.

This can break a group of local men, Li Ming saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-old child eat eight steamed buns with his own eyes, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly wanted to stop it, but Liu Handong on the side immediately pulled Li Ming back.

"You let them eat, these people can't eat this kind of meal a few times a year, eight steamed buns are trivial to them, during my time in their village, even in the old village chief's house, it was rare to eat such a meal a few times. Half-grown boys, eat poor old men, these boys are half-full all year round. ”

Li Ming smiled bitterly, it is too worthwhile to hire these people, for two big pots of rice, and then give them a bag of refined salt that sells for one dollar in modern society, they will be very happy, you must know that their workload is ten hours a day, and there is no rest day, the key is that these people are too capable, and they will not be lazy if they are stupid.

In fact, this is nothing in the eyes of these men living in the village. In order to survive, the men in the village are not idle all year round, they have to go around every day, hunting and collecting medicine, going to the sea to fish, how can there be an easy job, these digging and digging and planing, lifting and carrying small work compared with their usual work, it is really lightweight, and they don't even sweat much after a day.

At the end of the night, a group of men wearing a green military uniform, a military satchel on the left, a military kettle on the right, and an armed belt around their waists, walked into the village with great virtuosity, which immediately caused a sensation, and the whole village walked out of the house.

The next day, there was chaos outside the outpost of the base, and all the people in the village, except for the old people who were too old to walk and the nursing children, gathered here, and frightened several military personnel of the security department, and almost fired warning shots.

Later, when I inquired, I found out that they were all in a hurry to work, and they immediately contacted Li Ming and reported the situation here, which made Li Mingle bad, and it seems that their coping plan has a good effect.

He hurriedly led the heads of various departments of the company and rushed to the base outpost, but they were also taken aback when they came, there were hundreds of men, women and children, Li Ming actually saw that the old village chief also deliberately changed his clothes and hid in the crowd, Li Ming laughed secretly, but also pretended not to see him.

Li Ming discussed with yesterday's temporary workers, and communicated with the heads of several departments, in order not to discourage the enthusiasm of these people, he decided to use all these people today.

Because of the addition of many temporary workers, the logistics staff of the advance team is already a little insufficient, and those elderly people have joined the logistics team, but the canteen of the temporary workers must be separated, and their canteen cannot be mixed with the canteen of the company's employees, and the local indigenous people must not be allowed to enter the company's logistics department.

In addition, more than 100 young and strong men, all under 50 years old and over 13 years old, were selected, and they were divided with a group of temporary workers yesterday, still doing the previous work, and in the end there were dozens of old and weak left, which was really impossible to arrange.

When the people of the village saw it, they came out to help intercede, and as long as they took care of the gang for two meals, it was okay to do without salt.

As soon as everyone saw it, they all told Li Ming to forget it, and it was not bad for this person's food and a bag of salt, just let them come in, although there was no heavy work, but everyone's clothes needed someone to wash it, and the hygiene of the living area also needed someone to take care of it.
