Chapter 40 I Don't Treat Them As Official Workers

"What's going on?" Xu Yi looked at Cantona, who had a prominent scratch on his face, and Director Riley, whose eyes were bruised, and asked amusingly, "Could it be that the two of you feel that you are here? Work is too boring, and you have nothing to do and fight each other?"

Cantona smiled awkwardly, while Director Riley gave a wry smile and shook his head: "President Xu, don't make fun of us, I don't believe you don't know what happened. Regarding this matter, I still need you Just give an opinion on how to deal with it.”

Seeing the distressed expressions on the faces of the two, Xu Yi put away his thoughts of making fun of them, pondered for a while, and felt that this matter was indeed a bit tricky. When you come, leave it to him to deal with it.

Four days ago, on the 100,000 hectares of land leased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from Patriarch Wei Lun, more than 1,000 farmers and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Lampari Kingdom came from Bangta City to hire locally. Serious group clashes suddenly broke out among the five thousand local farmers.

According to the statistics after the event, a total of more than 300 farmers in Bangta City and more than 500 local farmers participated in the conflict and took action. Although there was no serious accident such as death, there were serious injuries. 100 people, more than 400 people were slightly injured, and even Cantona, who is currently mainly in charge of the farm work, and Director Riley, who has no connection at all, were implicated and suffered some minor injuries.

Because of this serious accident, all the work on this Xinfei farm has been temporarily stopped. Cantona and his subordinates have been busy with follow-up work, and have not slept well for several days.

"As for this matter itself, there is nothing difficult to deal with." Xu Yi thought about it for a while, and said to Cantona: "For our farmers in Bangta City, Cantona, you go out and make adjustments in private, while for our farmers in Bangta City, Cantona will come forward and make adjustments in private. The farmers hired from the local area, I went to the head of Weilun to come forward, I believe that as long as a certain punishment is given, no one will dare to make trouble again."

Cantona hesitated: "Although no one dares to make trouble again, but... President Xu, I think our farmers in Bangta City are right this time. They are the farmers hired by the Principality of Standing. I'm too lazy to die, and I don't want to do anything all day long. But I still have a salary similar to my own, and I'm not happy with it. What's more, those guys are not satisfied, and they come to accuse the farmers in Bangta City on their own initiative. They're being paid way too high, it's not fair. Well, I don't know who it's really unfair."

Xu Yi stared at Cantona and asked, "Is this your true opinion?"

Cantona was startled, met Xu Yi's gaze, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, this is what I really think. President Xu. I have been in charge here for more than half a month, but I have seen with my own eyes how lazy those guys in the Principality of Standin are. As I see it, the peasants of our Bangta City are One man does as much work every day as five of them, and yet each of them still gets enough gold coins, and we peasants who have come all the way from Bangta City. One year is not enough. You can only get a hundred gold coins, but on average, you don’t even have ten gold coins in a month, which is less than twice as much as theirs.”

"But in fact, they do get a lot higher salaries than those in the Principality of Standing, don't they?" Xu Yi asked back. "So from the standpoint of the workers in the Principality of Standing, their dissatisfaction is also justified."

"Bah! Do they have the ability to do more work? According to what I said, they should follow the rules of our Bangta City, and pay according to the amount of work. If you do more, you will pay more, and you will do less. Give less, if you don’t do anything, then don’t even think of a copper coin!”

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "This idea is good, but unfortunately, the situation here in the Principality of Standing is different. So it can't be implemented."

"Why can't it be implemented?" Cantona asked in disbelief.

"Because I think you also know very well that most of the salaries received by these workers actually end up in the pockets of Patriarch Wei Lun."

Cantona was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses in an instant, and glanced left and right. He asked in a low voice, "President Xu, according to what you said, this matter was actually provoked by Patriarch Wei Lun? No wonder these guys from the Principality of Standing have always been very honest, but it happened before you came. There has been a sudden disturbance in the past two days. After a long time, I just want to make conditions for you."

Director Riley on the side snorted angrily: "Humph! This dead fat pig, it's a pity that he has been praising you, President Xu, in front of us these days, but he is doing such nasty things behind his back. The means, it's just damn!"

As the party involved, Xu Yi didn't care much, and waved his hand with a smile: "You don't have to react so strongly, I'm just guessing about this, and there's no evidence. We will continue to cooperate with Patriarch Weilun in the future, so we will each other. The relationship between them should not be too strained.”

"Then you mean to accept his threat this time?" Cantona said in dissatisfaction. "President Xu, this fat bastard is insatiable. If you promise him once, I'm sure he will keep doing it in the future."

"Yeah, this kind of person's mind must be like this. As long as you give in to him once, he will intensify. President Xu, I don't think he should be allowed to succeed this time, otherwise there will be endless trouble." Director Riley also road.

"Don't worry, I know it." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "If it's just a money request, I'm the least worried. Besides, even if he can have enough money, it's still a question of whether he has the life to spend it..."

Cantona and Director Riley froze for a moment at the same time, looked at each other, and both saw a stern look in each other's eyes.

From Xu Yi's words, they could smell a hint of grimness.

"Okay, the work of appeasing the farmers from Bangta City is mainly left to Cantona. Director Riley, we are old friends, so you can help where you can. I thank you first."

"President Xu, you're welcome." Director Riley waved his hands again and again. "In terms of our relationship, it's just a small matter. But I think it would be better if you personally came forward to appease it. To be honest, so many farmers in our Bangta City are willing to leave Bangta City, I came all the way here to farm, but it was all on the signs of you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

"Well, of course I will also come forward, but I won't be here for long, and there are many other things to do, so the follow-up work still has to be done by you." Xu Yi nodded and asked Kan again. Tuner urged: "Remember, we must let the farmers from Bangta City calm down and don't let them have doubts about continuing to cultivate farms here."

"Okay, I'll do my best." Cantona nodded in response, thought for a while and then asked, "President Xu, do you think... give them some compensation to make them feel at ease?"

"No." Xu Yi shook his head and rejected the proposal. "Seriously, they are also at fault for this matter, and if it is dealt with properly, they even need to be punished."

"And punishment?" Cantona said in surprise: "Then I'm worried that they will simply quit."

"So this is just a superficial way of dealing with it. On the surface, we want to punish this kind of behavior severely to avoid similar conflicts next time. But in private, we told them the actual attitude of our new flight chamber of commerce. I am in this matter. It would be inconvenient to come forward, so it is up to Cantona to communicate."

Cantona nodded in understanding.

"In addition, the model of the farm has to be changed. Since these local farmers in the Principality of Standing are not easy to use, then don't let them work together with the farmers from our Bangta City. There are so many farmlands anyway. With the help of the magic machine, the people from Bangta City alone are enough to reclaim this farm." Xu Yi said again.

"Then what do these five thousand people do?"

"There are a lot of things that can be done. For example, in charge of infrastructure construction around the farm, repairing roads, building houses and so on."

Director Riley immediately grimaced: "President Xu, your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to stay with these people, and our Amli Chamber of Commerce is not willing to use them. I know how lazy these guys are. Send it here, won't that hold us back?"

"Their salary is paid by our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, what are you afraid of?" Xu Yi said. "If you're worried about their hindrance, don't let them do those skilled jobs. There are so many simple jobs that only require physical strength in building roads and docks. You can leave them to do it. Although they are lazy enough, But there are 5,000 people anyway, and what you can do is a little bit.”

Director Riley frowned and asked suspiciously, "President Xu, why do I feel... You don't seem to care about these 5,000 people at all, and you don't really think of them as workers of your chamber of commerce. ."

Xu Yi shrugged: "Whenever these guys have changed their laziness, I will treat them as real workers of our chamber of commerce. You didn't realize that they could only get five gold coins a month in salary. Besides, don't they have all the benefits that our employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce enjoy?"

"Then your monthly salary of more than 20,000 gold coins is not worth it?" Director Riley exclaimed.

"No way, this is the price that must be paid." Xu Yi stood up. "Director Riley, please help Cantona to discuss how to deal with it. I have to talk to Patriarch Wei Lun first."

There was a hint of surprise on the faces of the two, and Cantona asked worriedly, "President Xu, shouldn't you... want to go to a showdown with that dead fat man?"

"Now is not the time." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "I'm just... going to make a deal with him."
