Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1498 Indian Restaurant
Speaking of the cruelty and tyranny of colonialism, countries such as Belgium and the Netherlands have gone too far than the UK. Compared with the UK, these small countries still lack some confidence and calmness, and can only use cruel means to maintain colonial rule. It's just a catch-and-go idea.

The situation mentioned by Harrington was indeed widespread in the former Congo Free State, and also in southern Africa, but there were fewer cases. This does not mean that the British are more benevolent than the Belgians. It only proves the means by which the British maintain colonial rule. Smarter and gentler, there is no difference in essence.

This kind of situation certainly does not exist in southern Africa now. Workers who do not work well can directly deduct money or be dismissed and deported. They exist in the form of charitable foundations, and they only protect the rights of southern Africans, paying little attention to African-American workers.

Entering Fawalt, large-scale factory areas and towering chimneys appeared one after another on both sides of the highway. They belonged to steel groups, mining groups, special metal companies, cement companies, and chemical companies that have just emerged in recent years.

"Favalt Steel Group has more than 5000 formal employees, and the total area of ​​the six factories exceeds 150 square kilometers. Our total output value last year exceeded 3.5 million rand, and our tax payment exceeded 4000 million. It is one of the largest enterprises in southern Africa. One." Spark didn't dwell on the issue of beheading, as British newspapers had been criticizing the Belgians for more than ten years.

Cars drive off the expressway and enter the industrial area, and the road traffic conditions are no less than that of the expressway.

These roads were built by Fawalt Steel Group itself.

"Wait, there are only [-] workers in the Fawalt Steel Group?" Harrington thought he had caught the loopholes of the Fawalt Steel Group. Such a large company obviously had more than this number of workers.

"Regular employees—" Spark euphemistically reminded that those African-American workers were not southern Africans, so naturally they couldn't be regular employees.

There is no such thing as casual labor in Southern Africa.

Harrington remained silent again, and exchanged glances with the members of the investigation team beside him, both of whom had helplessness in their eyes.

In the face of such a Fawalt Steel Group, the British government has nothing to do. The Commonwealth is too big, and the investigation of one company by one company will exhaust the British judges.

As a first-class enterprise in southern Africa, Fawalt Steel Group has its own hospitality hotel. The hotel facilities are as luxurious as the Rhodesia Hotel. After the investigation team checked into the hotel, Harrington had a whim and did not want to eat in the hotel room. Instead, I want to go to the employee cafeteria of the Fawalt Steel Group.

Spark would not refuse this kind of request, so he went directly to the staff canteen.

Harrington still underestimated the size of Fawalt Steel Group. The entire Fawalt Steel Group has 22 employee restaurants of different styles, providing a total of more than 15 employees with different grades of working meals.

If you want to look, you need to look at restaurants that serve African-American workers with work meals.

Spark let Harrington choose one at random, and without saying hello in advance, he called the driver and set off.

Harrington chose an Indian-style restaurant with a large scale that can accommodate about 800 people dining at the same time. Fawalt Steel Group implements a three-shift work system, providing employees with a working meal every six hours , The restaurant employees also work in two shifts. The form is similar to a buffet. Employees can eat as much as they want, but waste is prohibited.

When I came to the restaurant, it was not time to eat. The sanitary condition of the restaurant was quite good. The glass on the windows was wiped clean, and the tables and chairs were all made of steel.

That's right, the iron and steel group, the most indispensable thing is iron.

"Such a restaurant requires nearly 20 people to clean. Everyone has their own area of ​​responsibility. If the restaurant manager finds that the cleaning is not clean, he will be punished according to the regulations. The hygiene of the food is also guaranteed. The group will send a car to the farm every day. The association purchases the freshest vegetables and fruits—" Sparke had a proud expression on his face, such a level of protection may be difficult to achieve even for local companies in the UK.

"It's just vegetables and fruits, I'm afraid it can't guarantee the nutritional level of the food—" Harrington can still jump out of the problem.

Spark's expression is broken. Of course, there are meat and poultry eggs, but there is no need to elaborate on them one by one.

At this time, it was almost time for meals. A stout African-American aunt poured a bucket full of food into a large basin for the employees. The food smelled good, very fragrant, but the appearance was not good. Compliment, sticky and sticky is like throwing all the ingredients together and cooking it, which makes people lose their appetite.

Harrington frowned directly. The expressions of the other investigators were either excited or uncomfortable. The only female even made a retching motion.

"Indians are like this. They like to cook everything together, and then the cooked things look like that." Spark's expression was a bit ugly. It's not that the restaurant deliberately fooled the Indian employees. It's just this habit, if you don't do it, it's disrespectful.

Harrington hadn’t had time to speak yet, when the large troops who had just finished work swarmed in. People in the iron and steel factory kept stopping the machines, and they took turns to eat. The time was tight, and the hungry workers came to the restaurant, each with a stainless steel plate and spoon, He rushed to the dining table and took it himself.

A spoonful of rice, a spoonful of mash mixed with potatoes and a small amount of chicken, a spoonful of diced carrots and diced potatoes, and a strict limit on eggs, each person can only take one, and finally you can get a cup of boiled eggs with unknown vegetables and eggs vegetable soup.

By Harrington's standards, such a meal is really not on the table.

But as Spark said just now, it’s just a simple work meal, and the most important thing is to have a large amount to keep you full. Don’t even think about the combination of taste and nutrition.

It can be seen that the workers are still very satisfied with the working meals provided by the restaurant. They each carry a plate full of food, sit down at any place and start to eat. There is no prayer before the meal, and there is no waste. Yes, Harrington didn't even notice that when the workers came to the restaurant, suddenly there were more than a dozen overseers in uniform with big turbans on their heads, sticks in their hands, and menacing expressions.

"Are these supervisors regular employees of the steel group?" Harrington wanted to know more about the situation.

"No, they are also hired workers. Only the shift supervisors and technicians are regular workers. These Indian supervisors and African supervisors in other shifts are hired workers just like the workers, but their salaries are comparable to ordinary workers. The ratio is higher." Spark explained in detail that Fawalt Steel Group also has a deep understanding of the ultimate mystery of "using barbarians to control barbarians", using Indians to manage Indians, and using Africans to manage Africans, there are many benefits.

It cannot be ignored that the most vicious treatment of Indian workers is either the southern Africans, or the Africans, or the Indians.

In the same way, Africans are also the ones who treat African workers the hardest. Therefore, if Indians are used to manage Indians, the southern African supervisor will be in a detached position as an "arbiter", and lazy employees will naturally There will be Indian supervisors to supervise. If the Indian supervisors strike too hard and arouse "public anger", then the supervisors can be punished accordingly to calm public anger.

In this way, the contradiction between management and workers in southern Africa became a contradiction among Indian workers.

"How high?" Harrington asked.

"Ten percent, or 20.00%, anyway, it won't be much higher, it's just a symbolic distinction." Spark's expression was calm, don't underestimate the ten percent, it's enough to reveal the darkest side of his heart.

"Gol, come here." Spark simply raised his hand and called an Indian overseer over, asking him to communicate with Harrington himself.

Harrington noticed sensitively that when Spark called Goyle over, he quietly walked away two positions.

Harrington didn't think there was a problem with Spark's action, and thought that Spark was leaving enough space for himself and Goyle.

Then Harrington felt a biochemical attack——

When Spark called Goyle, Goyle's face immediately showed a flattering expression, which was in stark contrast to the fierceness just now.

Then Goyle trotted all the way to Harrington with his head down and his body down. In order to match Harrington's height, Goyle's legs were even bent.

At this time, if there is a tail behind Gore, it must be wagging very happily.

"Hello Goyle, I'm going to ask you a few questions now—" Harrington suppressed the smell coming from Goyle, and then couldn't help it: "—Sorry, can you stay away from me? "

Gore showed a bewildered expression on his face, and looked at Harrington full of surprise and astonishment.

"Gol, you can answer whatever you ask—" Spark actually returned to Harrington and Goyle at this time, looking at Goyle without any abnormality, and even gave Goyle a warm smile.

"Okay sir, may I ask—" Goyle's smile to Spark immediately became sweeter than when he faced Harrington.

Hareton himself didn't realize it yet, but the only woman in the investigation team whispered to the man next to him: "No matter how dissatisfied Harrington is with Goyle, he shouldn't show it so directly."

"It can't be Harrington's fault. If you smell that person, you should know how Harrington feels—" The man was still defending Harrington.

"Gentlemen, you must know that they have just come out of the workshop. It is normal for them to smell a little bit. They don't have a chance to take a shower until after work. Don't you think that their working environment is the same as yours—" Spark endured I can't stop explaining that Fawalt Steel Group really doesn't care about it. Fawalt Steel Group is still very strict in terms of hygiene.
