Cosma Empire

Exclamations erupted from the noisy crowd from time to time, causing those residents of District 5 who were temporarily unemployed to surround them curiously.

Irian's fifth district is the largest living and working area in the city, with more than six million people living here. Excluding minors and the elderly, the working population here is about 2.5 million. Among them, 15% to 25% are unemployed, less than 50% of the remaining residents have permanent jobs, and the rest are short-term workers.

This is very much in line with the characteristics of a tourist city. When the tourist season comes, some small factories may not be able to recruit people, but once the tourist season comes, small factories and workshops will choose to temporarily close in order to save costs and expenses, resulting in A lot of people are out of work for a given period of time.

Therefore, during the seven to eight-month peak tourist season, people are basically not too picky about their jobs, as long as they earn enough money to get through the rest period and have some left over, they will be satisfied. They have come here all these years, and it is not that no one has protested, but no matter how loud the momentum is, they will not get any guarantee in the end.

The city hall is a government agency, not a welfare organization. They will not provide basic security benefits like the federal government, and only fools will do that.

With only three months left before the tourist peak season, people are trying to find jobs, work hard, and strive to earn more money to ensure that their families will not be hungry during the work stoppage period.

So when Totti brought 10,000 jobs, especially long-term jobs, all the Guartes were boiling! Too many people, too many families need a stable job, especially the salary standard given by Dulin is higher than the average level of other factories, and there are two meals a day, which is almost equivalent to a beating Two jobs.

You must know that all the places that need to work in the entire city can only guarantee some food that can barely fill your stomach at noon, and most places do not have dinner.

Some people of other races squeezed into the crowd, looking at the old Totti standing on the flower bed, their eyes were red, and they shouted loudly, "Father Totti, count me in, I have the strength of a arm !", the man said and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and the tall and bulging muscles made some thin guys gasp.

Father Totti knew this person. He had been working at the pier before. He was so squeezed out some time ago that he couldn't stand it and resigned. He hasn't found a satisfactory job yet.

The wharf is one of the largest sources of employment in the city, but the operators of the wharf cleverly evade the standards and benefits required by the workers' union. Whenever a worker has worked for two years, they will find a way to toss him and let him Take the initiative to resign and avoid the next series of expenses. For example, the medical examination fee twice a year, the guarantee fee for some off-work periods, and the salary increase after two years of service.

In Irian and even the developed areas of the country,

After a worker has worked in a certain place for two years, his salary will have a step-up increase in the third year, which is about 5% to 10%. And there will be a security payment for the off-work period, which is almost three months of minimum standard wages in Irian. Some factories need skilled workers with certain skills, and they have to spend this money, but what the port needs is coolies, so they will try their best to force workers away within the contract specifications.

Even when workers resign, they will call them back later, just to avoid these additional expenses.

The workers' union has nothing to do about it. There are always some people who humbly beg for work, and they can understand such behavior. Of course, there are also some people who choose to resign completely after a few times, such as the strong man who shouted before.

Papa Totti shook his head and apologized first with an apologetic smile on his face, "I'm sorry, the recruiter this time is a rich man from Gual, and his only requirement is that every worker must be Gual Special people!" When he said this, Papa Totti's voice rose slightly, with a sense of elation.

When Abien was still alive, the Guarts did not live a happy life. Although they could find a job through him, they felt humbled every time, as if they were begging others for a job. Some hold your breath. Being able to stand here today, in front of so many people saying such words, Totti seemed to realize something in a trance. He didn't go into it, it's a good thing, not a bad thing, that's all.

The strong man froze, shook his hands and squeezed out of the crowd. When he turned around, no one was still watching him. No matter how strong he is, no matter how hard-working he is, as long as he is not a Guart, he is not eligible for the job with extremely good benefits.

Recruitment is going on in an orderly manner, and Totti is also very careful about the selection of workers. He tries to ensure that only one worker is hired per family, and every worker hired has no criminal record, nor is he a hooligan. He can only do what he can in return.

The news of the start of construction in the eighth district swept through the whole of Irian like a whirlwind. There may be no movement in the first and second districts. The people living here are rich people. However, most people in the latter three districts are moved by the news. The construction of a city means huge profits. According to the plan announced by the city hall, the construction of the entire district will require at least 200 to 300 million funds. profits.

Not only the people in Irian were excited, but all the construction industry personnel and companies in the surrounding states and cities also rushed to Irian to attract some business, and the whole city unexpectedly became lively.

"I'm afraid there won't be a winter break this year." The mayor said with a smile while sitting at a table by the window of a restaurant, looking at the crowds on the street.

When Scott didn't realize what the mayor meant, Du Lin had already reacted, "Indeed, there are more than 200,000 construction workers working in the eighth district, and a hundred of them About 10% belong to the management, and these managers will not work hard on the construction site all day like those workers, and they will come to the city to spend as long as conditions permit."

"With so many continuous consumer groups, there is no need to consider the winter break within three years."

It was only at this time that Scott realized that this was what he was talking about. Even if the foreign capital used local labor in the construction of the eighth district, it is impossible to use local people for the management. As long as these managements exist, they will continuously add vitality to Irian's tourism market. Originally, from the end of autumn to the beginning of winter and the beginning of spring in the following year was the off-season for tourism, but these people were able to help Irian survive the difficult four or five months, and the winter break naturally ceased to exist.

The three of them were able to sit here and eat mainly because of Durin's recent active expansion of his business. The mayor has heard that Durin has contacted people from the George family and discussed cooperation matters. George The family did not give a clear answer to the rejection, and they are still discussing and discussing until now, and it is still a matter of decision whether to make a final decision. There is such a thing that the mayor needs to pay attention to Du Lin. Once Du Lin and the George family really become partners, it means that the Illian region will also have a trustee in a certain industry. Powerful super rich.

This is definitely the most outstanding achievement of the mayor during his tenure, and it will bring great benefits to his promotion. His political mentor even told him in the exchange last night that if necessary, he can use the party members Strength, give this a push. Once the matter is done, Du Lin will remember his benefits, and he will have a very powerful ally when he is promoted in the new party in the future.

So today, under the pretense of Scott, the mayor invited Du Lin to have a meal, to connect with each other, and to lay a good foundation for the next step.

The mayor can only sigh in his heart for Du Lin's extra-quick response. Every successful person is definitely not a coincidence, and it is not like Juan said that they are guided by fate. They all have a side that is beyond ordinary people. . Whether decisive or wise, a mediocre person may have a fortune for a while, but it is absolutely impossible to have a fortune for a lifetime.

"I heard that you want to recruit 10,000 workers?" The mayor cut off a corner of the steak and inserted it into the mouth with a silver fork. "Why do you only need Guarts? You may not have noticed, there are already people You filed a complaint with me, saying you were racist.”

The word racial discrimination is indeed a big killer in the world in Doolin's dream. Anyone who encounters this word should avoid it. But the deterrent power of racial discrimination in this world is not enough to make people frightened. Since the first time the provincial people shouted this word, this word has become a tactic for self-entertainment. They abused this word for people or things that did not suit them, so that they once appeared in "Empire" The words on the cover of the magazine are now rotten.

Du Lin shrugged, took out a cigarette and lit it, and scratched his hand holding the cigarette, "If they think so, then I can also admit that I am racist, how much do I need to pay?" A fine? Fifty? Or a hundred?"

The mayor chuckled and shook his head, "It has nothing to do with fines. You must know that Irian's most important policy is to maintain local stability and ensure good law and order. It is obvious that someone wants to use this incident to cause trouble. If you can't hold it down and let the city hall come forward, neither I nor you will look good!"
