Chapter 1540 Black Gold (Second Update, please subscribe)

"A free Ireland."

Richard Brest's answer did not surprise Sun Chenglin.

This is simply normal. After experiencing the Great Irish Famine, all Irish people yearn for independence.

"It's not easy to gain independence from Britain!"

"It's not easy, but I believe that one day Ireland will gain independence. If it can get the support of the empire, then this day will come soon."

Richard Brest thought for a while and said again.

"And I believe that the Empire will certainly support Irish independence, after all, we all have common enemies."

Brest, who has been engaged in foreign affairs liaison for many years, is very clear that for the empire, supporting Irish independence is beneficial and harmless. After all, they have a common enemy.

It is absolutely in the interests of the Empire to create unrest in the British rear.Of course, it is more in the interests of Ireland, because only with the support of a powerful country can Ireland gain independence.

"Perhaps, one day, your dream will come true! However, first of all, we must use our own efforts to ensure that the empire wins this war! You still need to go to Los Angeles again."

Sun Chenglin, with a smile on his face, completely gave up the idea of ​​persuading Brest to be naturalized at this time. For an employee who has worked for the company for more than ten years, if he has not been naturalized, then he must have faith people.

In fact, to some extent, Brest is indeed a man of faith. What is his belief?It was Ireland, a free Ireland, and he was even a member of the Irish Brotherhood.With an innocent background, he studied at a London university and was involved in London's business circles.A hypocritical gentleman like the English, behind the appearance of being no different from the English is the desire for independence.

15 years ago, he came to Mexico with a suitcase. He entered the Mexican Railway Company and began to serve the company. He worked hard to climb to the top in his own way, and worked hard to enter the ranks of golden employees-this is what many foreign employees the goal of the effort.

In all Ming-funded overseas companies, there are gold and silver grades. The former are basically mainly Ming descendants, and they are mainly managers.The latter are mainly foreigners and locals, mainly ordinary employees.Even for employees at the same level, the average salary of the silver level is only about 30% of that of the gold level.

Is this fair?

No one thinks about these issues, but what is certain is that everyone wants to enter the golden zone level and become rich. Gold level employees will eventually become rich, because the empire's lifetime employment system can guarantee that he will have a lifetime of wealth. Filipino's no income.

"Lifetime Employment System" is a management method advocated by Imperial Enterprises. Once an individual enters an organization after receiving school education and starts working, he will continue to work until retirement, and the organization cannot dismiss him for improper reasons. .It first appeared in Nanhua Company, "Nanhua employees don't have to worry about losing their jobs before they reach the predetermined retirement age. The company will never fire any 'Nanhua people'". In this way, the company can ensure excellent employees, and employees can also get Fixed guarantee.The business model pioneered by Nanhua was imitated by other enterprises in the empire, and this lifetime employment system also made a great contribution to the economic take-off of the empire.

This is the dream of many Europeans, and Brest is no exception. The reason why he left London and came to Mexico is because people who study law like him have no chance to enter Daming as immigrants, so he chose After turning the curve to save the country, I came to Mexico, where not only the door is open to European immigrants, but there are also many well-known companies, and they also promote the lifetime employment system.The difference is that only employees at the gold zone level have it.

Brest's quick wit took him to the manager's throne and catapulted him into the prime district, a goal he'd worked hard for 15 years to achieve.

Unlike many people, Brest has no ambition to become a millionaire. He thinks it would be nice to be a golden employee of the company, and this is the goal he has been working hard for, but after achieving this goal, He has higher aspirations.

The war between the Ming and the United States did not affect the operation of the Mexico-U.S. International Railway, and even compared to before the war, the current international railway is busier—every day, a large number of Americans flock to Mexico to escape the war, or Traveling by train from Mexico to Texas, which belongs to the Confederate States of America, they have remained neutral.When you get there, you will naturally not be affected by the war.

Two days later, Brest took the international train and came to Los Angeles again. However, he did not go to see Stanford, but went directly to the urban area. In Los Angeles in 5, although there was no Hollywood in another world, it was more than ten years old. Earlier, after the discovery of high-yield oil deposits in this small town with a population of only [-], drilling companies rushed in like gold diggers.For a time, the city was full of derricks, adjacent to schools, hospitals, beaches and even cemeteries. At first glance, it was comparable to a dense forest, which was breathtaking.

Huntington Beach is lined with oil derricks on one side and crowded with tourists on the other. This is Los Angeles, the oil capital of North America.

"Ten percent of the world's oil is produced in Los Angeles...and that's just Los Angeles."

The reason why Brest came to Los Angeles again was for the oil in Los Angeles and even the whole of California. The crude oil production here reached almost one-fifth of the world's!

For a long time, limited by Imperial Oil's investment in Mexico and monopoly exploration and production rights, the railway company has never had the opportunity to get involved in the oil industry, and now... California is the opportunity for the railway company to enter the oil industry. As long as you seize this opportunity, Mexican railway company will become the fifth largest oil company in the empire.

"There are always innumerable opportunities in war."

Lamenting the opportunity brought by the war, Brest walked to a two-story wooden building near the beach. Although this wooden building is not very eye-catching, it is the Hunter Brothers Oil Company. This company owns dozens of Oil wells, with an annual output of more than 10 tons of oil, are one of the largest oil companies in Los Angeles.

"what!"

Ten minutes later, in the office filled with the smell of petroleum, Charlie Hunter shouted a little excitedly.

"What did you say? Damn it, you're just robbing!"

"Damn, do you think this is Mexico? Damn Mexican bastard! Get your check and go back to Mexico, or..."

Although Brest has a standard Anza appearance, Reed Hunter still calls him a "Mexican bastard". Discrimination against Mexicans in California is nothing short of normal. Out of pistols, in the oil industry, it was perfectly normal to shoot at a disagreement. In order to compete for oil wells, I don’t know how many people were buried in the desert or thrown into the sea.

Black gold... first of all, it is black, and what is black is not oil, but people's hearts.

"Mr. Blaster, I think you should go!"

With a cigar in his mouth, Charlie Hunter took a deep breath, seemed to calm down a little, and then he said.

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you can leave here alive!"
