Chapter 29 Strike
Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce need to bear the consequences of cooperating with other races, but it is not just the sensational effect it brings. <
Unlike the advertising effect brought about by the sensational effect, which will also bring higher popularity to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are many other consequences, but it is easy to cause damage to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
For example, one of the problems that has always plagued the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is that there are too many different races employed in the Chamber of Commerce. Although it has brought the Chamber of Commerce a huge advantage that other Chambers of Commerce cannot match, it has also greatly increased the difficulty of management.
Even among the same human beings, there are groups, not to mention that even the races are not the same.
This problem was not obvious when the scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was not particularly large, but now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has as many as more than 300 subordinates of various magic machinery factories, and the total number of employees under its name has exceeded an astonishing ten. This problem has become increasingly serious as the number of human employees and employees of different races has increased significantly.
Among the more than 100,000 employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, human employees still account for the absolute majority, with a total of more than 80,000.
Among other different races, there are more than 8,000 dwarves, more than 15,000 orcs, and only 3,000 elves, and most of them are not actually under the actual jurisdiction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, if the comparison is purely based on the number of people, human employees completely crush the employees of other races.
However, among the employees of different races, only a small number of elf employees are directly employed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which can be ignored, while the dwarf employees occupy a large number of skilled senior technical workers and even mechanical engineers because of the talent of dwarves in forging and smelting. Compared with the position of most human employees, the status is much higher.
Because of this, Xu Yi has always had high requirements for technology. Therefore, these dwarf employees have always received preferential treatment in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Although the dwarves are honest. Very easy to get along with. But such special treatment made many human employees feel a little unfair and dissatisfied.
Dissatisfaction has accumulated for a long time, and it will naturally explode.
So when Xu Yi returned to the Principality of Standing from the Kingdom of Rulson, he encountered something unexpected.
Inside the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, workers went on strike!
When listening to Kennard report this matter to himself, Xu Yi's face has always been very strange.
He wasn't angry, but felt about it. It was so absurd that he was completely unexpected.
The treatment I give to the workers is much better than any chamber of commerce on the continent of Saines, and they still go on strike?
You know, before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce appeared, the highest monthly salary of employees of other chambers of commerce was only a few times gold coins.
After the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, under Xu Yi's single-handed promotion, the salaries of employees of various chambers of commerce in Bangta City have risen all the way, and now they have reached an average of nearly 20 gold coins.
Such a month's income can almost equal to the family income of a commoner family in Zengnei who helped him for a whole year!
Are they still dissatisfied? Do you still want to go on strike in the name of improving wages?
Xu Yi was really not very angry, he just thought it was a bit unbelievable. On the contrary, he didn't even have the thought of getting angry.
Prior to this, Xu Yi had never heard of a large-scale strike by employees of any chamber of commerce. They don't even dare to make trouble.
Because it was extremely difficult to enter a chamber of commerce and get a job opportunity, everyone cherished it.
But now, maybe the magic industry driven by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has given people too many job opportunities, so that they can easily get jobs in bucuo, so they no longer cherish it as much as before.
Even if you don't work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are still many chambers of commerce that are also engaged in the magic machinery industry and need a lot of workers.
Almost all the workers from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are highly skilled and have rich work experience. They also have various technical points mastered in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so they are extremely popular in other chambers of commerce. These workers have no worries about their future.
So Xu Yijing calmed down and thought that it was only inevitable that this kind of thing happened, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.
After all, human greed can never be satisfied.
There is nothing wrong with people choosing better terms when given the opportunity.
As the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is completely meaningless to discuss the so-called morality and conscience in the face of tens of thousands of objects.
Taking a look at the declaration of a so-called strike movement leader from Kennard's hand, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
The slogan declared in this declaration is to strive for the same level of treatment for the human employees in the chamber of commerce as other alien races in the chamber of commerce, and to require the chamber of commerce to treat humans and other alien races fairly. In fact, it is nothing more than greed.
"Kennard, what are you going to do?" Xu Yi asked suddenly.
Kennard knew that Xu Yi was taking the opportunity to test him, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "I originally planned to meet with this worker leader and have a talk with him, and we will discuss the conditions. If we can agree, then It’s easy to say, if we can’t reach an agreement, we’ll think about the next step.”
Xu Yi shook his head: "This is not good."
Kennard was not surprised, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"First of all, our chamber of commerce already has insufficient production capacity. If we negotiate with these workers, it will inevitably delay time and affect production too much."
"I can try to compress the negotiation time as much as possible."
"This is in the hands of the workers, and they will definitely be forced to agree to some unreasonable conditions. But if we don't agree, we can't afford it more than the workers." Xu Yidao. "Secondly, if there is a first negotiation with the workers, there will be a second one, and it will only become more and more difficult to deal with in the future."
"Then, Mr. President, you mean not to negotiate with the workers? But we can't delay..." Kennard frowned.
Xu Yi knew very well that with Kennard's ability, there would definitely be a proper solution, but his decision this time was completely different from Kennard's idea, so he directly rejected Kennard's plan.
"I can't afford it. I won't delay it." Xu Yi glanced at the announcement in his hand. smiled. He waved his hand and made a chopping gesture. "All workers who participated in the strike this time will be fired."
"Huh?" Kennard looked at Xu Yi in shock, and couldn't believe his ears. "Master... Chairman, you... there are more than 18,000 workers participating in the strike! You want to dismiss them all? Then the production of our chamber of commerce will not only be affected, but it may be completely paralyzed Yes! If we do this, we will lose at least three million gold coins!"
Hearing the figure of three million gold coins, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, Kennard. Actually, you have considered this plan, haven't you? How else would you come up with this number?"
Kennard was taken aback, and said dumbfoundedly: "I just made an assessment out of caution, but I never thought about doing it like this."
Glancing at the calm expression on Xu Yi's face, and relying on years of experience working with Xu Yi, Kennard judged that Xu Yi had obviously made up his mind.
But Xu Yi's approach is really astonishing. Even though Kennard never really objected to Xu Yi's decision, he still couldn't help persuading him: "My lord, I think... we'd better play it safe." Right? It doesn’t need to be so drastic at all. If you want to punish some of the workers who participated in the strike to warn others. We only target those workers who took the lead in rioting, why should we target all workers? Zhidào. There are many workers They participated only because they were bewitched, they may not know what they want to do at all."
"I don't know what I'm doing?" Xu Yi sneered. "Everyone is an adult, what are you kidding about? Alright, I've already decided, I'll do it. Kennard, you are mainly responsible for this aspect, and the specific work is left to you."
Kennard took the declaration that Xu Yi handed back with a bitter face, looked at the name of the worker leader on the signature, and wished to bite this guy to death.
Does this guy really think of himself as someone? How dare you offend the Chairman!
Although the chairman has seldom intervened in the management of specific affairs within the Chamber of Commerce in the past two years, he has absolute supreme authority in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. As long as he decides something, even Kennard, the CEO, will not any objection possible.
But thinking that more than 18,000 workers would be dismissed at once, Kennard's head felt extremely painful.
Seeing the painful expression on Kennard's face, Xu Yi smiled slightly, and patted Kennard's shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
"Okay, Kennard, don't worry, I'm not really angry. I just think that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. This strike reminded me that various problems within the Chamber of Commerce have accumulated to a certain extent. There is indeed a need for a thorough reform. The leader of the striking workers said that bucuo has always treated different races differently within the chamber of commerce, and it is no wonder they feel that it is unfair.”
Kennard frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Then... what are you going to do, Mr. Chairman?"
"It's very simple. Let's kick off all the guys who have already left their hearts, and redefine the levels for all the remaining employees. Although we have set some levels between magic research and ordinary workers before, But it's rough. For example, workers are graded entirely by years, which is not fair. Now I ask to be evaluated by skills plus working hours at the same time, and the grades of employees are differentiated. The better the technology, the better. The longer the service time for the Chamber of Commerce, the higher the level and the better the treatment they will enjoy."
Kennard thought for a while, then nodded lightly: "In fact, I have had this idea for a long time, but the chamber of commerce is developing too fast, and the number of employees is also growing too fast, so I haven't had time to make reforms."
"So, it's good to take this opportunity to reform on a large scale." Xu Yi laughed. "If it wasn't for this incident, we wouldn't have an excuse for such a large-scale reform. Didn't those workers say that the treatment of the dwarves is too good and unfair? Well, I want to get the same treatment as the dwarves , You have to put in the same hard work as the dwarves. If you don’t accept it, it’s very simple, just leave our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But if you leave and want to come back...hehe, you have to start from scratch.”
Seeing Xu Yi's schadenfreude smile, Kennard shook his head slightly.
The president kept saying that he was not angry, but seeing his behavior, it was clear that he was still angry. To be continued...)
