Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 114 A bunch of sissies!
Now that Thomas had given the optimal solution, Ethan made a few more trips to Oakland in the next few days, wanting to know the specific situation of his father's comrades-in-arms.

After a few days of communication, Ethan learned that Michael's full name is Michael Blanco, born in 36, and actually only [-] years old this year.The reason why he looks so old and his hair is gray is because the pressure of survival after leaving the army made him breathless.Several years of service experience could not help him get a stable job. At this moment, he can only do odd jobs on the wharf in Oakland.

"Although the wages of dock workers are high and decent, only union members can enjoy this kind of treatment." Michael Blanc's wife Fran Anna said with a helpless smile: "Because those who participated in the Vietnam War The reason is that the trade union over there did not approve Michael's membership application at all, so now he can only do odd jobs at the dock. If he is lucky, he can earn twenty dollars a day. There may be no income for a week.”

All ports in America adopt the landlord port model. The American government entrusts the port management authority to be responsible for the planning of the port, and leases the terminal to domestic and foreign port operators in the form of leasing.Port authorities and terminal operators do not directly hire dock workers, but sign an agreement with the workers' association, allowing the union to assign its dock workers, storage workers, and truck drivers to work.

Because of the protection of the trade union, their benefits are very good. In his previous life, Ethan heard that port workers can earn [-] US dollars a year under the condition of an eight-hour working system.

In terms of holidays, the protection of the trade union is also in place. The union workers can get two full days off every pay week, except for the well-known statutory holidays such as Christmas, Christmas Eve, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and New Year. In addition, they can also enjoy paid vacations for holidays such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Lincoln Memorial Day.And after working for one year, and actually working more than [-] hours, all workers can still enjoy a minimum of one week of annual leave.

It is precisely because of the excellent benefits that in Ethan's time, the job of port worker was even played as a hereditary system. If the father worked at the port, at least one child in the family would get Work, because the union will give priority to recruiting the children of these employees as members.

It is also because the benefits of regular employees are so good, so when the regular employees are on vacation, the ports where there is a shortage of personnel need some temporary employees to come to work. Michael Blanco is in this status now, and since he is a temporary employee, then Naturally, there is no guarantee. The trade unions will not be responsible for everything they do, and will only use these cheap labor as a tool to come and go when they are called.

But even so, Michael's situation is considered good among all his companions.

According to his wife, Fran Anna: "Ethan, the other people you met that day didn't have official jobs either. Some of them were fishing with fishing boats, and they might not be able to go ashore for a few days; Others work on the Auckland rail line, where they help to carry goods; Xiaogong, today the farm needs manpower to help harvest vegetables, so he may be digging kale in the field for a day, and tomorrow the orchard needs manpower to pick grapes, and he may become a picker.”

"For people like us, earning three to five thousand dollars a year is already a lot."

"At least……"

"I can't die of hunger."

Hearing such words made Ethan feel heavy in his heart.

He nodded silently, and said, "With this income, it is indeed difficult to support a family."

As soon as this remark came out, Michael's wife Fran Anna laughed immediately.

Shaking his head, he said, "Bringing a family? Oh—Ethan—they don't have to support a family."

"Actually, apart from me and Michael, among the other seven people, only those who worked in the railway transportation department got married, and the others couldn't find wives at all."

"Those who go out to sea to fish can't go home for a few days, and they can't live a life."

"For decoration, I often have to go to other cities with my boss, and sometimes I can't go home, so how many women are willing to stay with him?"

"Not to mention small laborers, not every farmer is Thomas, who can leave time for the workers to go home and eat. They can't wait to harvest all the vegetables and fruits that should be harvested in a few days, because the workers Salaries are all calculated by the day, and in this case, where they can go..."

"Just strip clubs."

Ethan was dumbfounded.

These facts left him at a loss as to what to say.

In the follow-up chat, Ethan also learned that Michael and his wife actually had a child, but because neither of them had a proper job, they could only be forced to seek help from the American Children's Protection Bureau through foster care. Send his biological child to a middle-class family in Sacramento.

With the presentation of these facts one by one, Ethan finally couldn't hold back!
He revealed his identity to the Michael family.

He said that he is the inventor of the popular "Pac-Man", and he also made the previous "Snake", and he came here in the past few days because he wanted to invite them to work there.

This news, to Michael, was simply a shock!
Although he has never played "Snake" and "Pac-Man", because the price of 25 cents a time is too extravagant for them, but he has witnessed the hot scenes of these two games with his own eyes.

When these two games occupied the entertainment room around the Oakland Wharf and became a choice for many workers to relax in their spare time, the scenes that were sought after by tens of thousands of people represented countless money.

And these games are made by Ethan Jones?

"Oh Ethan - when I heard the inventor's name earlier I thought it was the same name!"

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that these two games were really made by you?"

"Oh—Ethan—Jimmy in Heaven would be proud of your accomplishment!"

Michael was thrilled.

But at the same time, he shook his head and rejected Ethan's kindness.

"Ethan, thank you for thinking of us, but let's forget about work."

"If you ask us to pick up guns, or fly a helicopter, we're sure to do well, but if you ask us to make circuit boards, we really can't."

"We never learned about electrical circuits, and our job in the past was to give you trouble."

"Thank you for your kindness. We are very happy that you can come to see us."

Ethan couldn't accept this result.

He immediately said that the production of circuit boards is actually very simple. Before going to work, the company will also provide them with regular training, and they will definitely be allowed to work after they have mastered the skills.

But even so, Michael still hesitated.

Ever since, Ethan released a big move, saying that he asked them to go to work, it was really not a charity, but mainly hoping to have a trustworthy family member to help take care of the factory.

At the same time, he also talked about his experience.

When Michael learned that in order to protect other employees, Ethan's subordinates fired some bad boys according to the normal process, and those bad boys not only did not leave with compensation, but kept making trouble——

He stood up instantly!
"MFxxk!"

"I think these people don't want to live anymore!"

"Not only do you fly smoke yourself, but you also attract traffickers?"

"If I were on the scene, I would have to ask them to eat a bullet no matter what!"

"Businessman? The second thing labor and management hate in this life is businessman!"

'...'

The sudden anger startled Ethan!
But after seeing Michael's indignant appearance, his heart settled down again.

Because he knows.

That violent appearance will only be external.

And when Michael decided to help the son of his comrade-in-arms take care of the factory, the next thing was very easy. He called the seven people he had met before and told them the fact that Ethan was in trouble.

It may be because the current life is too hard, but it may also be that what happened to Ethan made them angry.

After some communication, these people all agreed to Ethan's proposal.

Decided to go to work in Milpita's factory.

Such a situation made Ethan overjoyed. After returning to the company, he called Alan Macy and asked him to buy some vacant land near the Milpita factory, where he wanted to build a staff dormitory area.

This idea was not his sudden idea, but the result of careful consideration.

One, it's too messy in Auckland, it's really not safe to live there.

Second, there is a distance between Auckland and Mirbida. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive to travel back and forth every day, but most importantly, it is also a waste of money when the oil price remains high.

Third, it is naturally to practice Thomas's employment theory.

Of course, although it is a staff dormitory area, the real plan is also a small two-story building. Ethan is not going to give it away for nothing, but decides to spread the final construction price on a ten-year basis and rent it to these uncles. As long as they pay the total price of the house, the house belongs to them.

On the surface, this way of charging is a bit inhumane, but when Michael and the others learned that Ethan was willing to provide them with a house at the construction price, they were still overjoyed.

After all, who wants to live in a slum if there is no choice?
And Ethan created a better living environment for them at the construction price while providing jobs and solving employment. For them, it was no different from doing charity!
Michael and the others are very grateful for such benefits. Some people even suggested that they sell those useless bungalows in Oakland and build houses with their own money. At the same time, they also said that there is no need to hire workers for building houses. Because they can do it themselves...

When these intimate words appeared, Ethan smiled and let them take care of themselves.

At the same time, he also greeted Alan Marcy, asking him to directly exclude Michael's own labor costs and capital contributions after calculating the construction cost, so as to ensure that only the price of the land and what Michael and the others could not afford were received in the end. price difference.

And when the house construction was in full swing, on September [-]th, the released hippies came to make trouble again, and this time, Damio Dean didn't show up at all, because Michael, who was building a house next to him Just copied the hammer and came up.

"Oh! Sxxt! Is it you guys who keep making trouble?"

Although Michael was holding a hammer, he didn't mean to threaten them with a weapon. Instead, he raised his neck and stared at those guys condescendingly. At the same time, he puffed out his chest and kept hitting them.

"MFxxk! The company has paid you compensation according to the law!"

"What? Can you rotten ghosts afford to lose? Stay here like a bitch and refuse to leave?"

"Aha! I tell you! Today is the first time we meet, so we won't beat you!"

"If you dare to come again next time, I'll screw your head off and kick it like a ball!"

Although he has been out of the army for many years, Michael's body is still very good, and the experience of carrying big bags on the pier has given him a body of strong muscles, and he arched a few times like a bull. His legs went limp and he fell to the ground.

"Who are you? We are looking for Damio from the game of fate! It has nothing to do with you!"

The guy who fell on the ground dodged his eyes, but he still screamed while pulling his neck.

"Don't ask for trouble!"

Hearing this threat, the people around were delighted.

"Who are we? We are your grandpa!"

The other guy bared his teeth at the three people on the ground, and at the same time swung his right arm, causing the hammer to make a tearing sound in the air, "We are covering the game of fate, if you dare, keep shouting!"

"You dare to shout! I dare to smash your knees!"

"I can help you shout louder!"

As he spoke, he raised his hammer and slammed it on the ground.

There was only a muffled bang, and the hard hammer kissed the ground lightly, leaving a deep depression on it, and the direction of the rebound was also slightly shifted. After drawing a graceful arc in the air, it moved towards The direction of those hippies fell.

In such a situation, the three of them quickly confessed.

Using both hands and feet, you jerk back.

Kick off all fours, turn over and run.

At this moment, they dare not even fart.

In a flash of effort, he disappeared in front of everyone.

The figure fleeing in embarrassment made Michael and the others burst out laughing.

"It's really a bunch of sissies!"

They gave their evaluation.

"Is this still causing trouble?"

"I'm afraid it's because Fei Yanfei lost his mind?"

But Damio Dean, who witnessed all this in the attic of the factory, was shocked!

"Flower Q! How can these guys be such rubbish?"

He never expected that the guy who had been with him for half a month would be able to coax him so quickly!
Ethan Jones, who also witnessed all this, laughed.

"Simple," he said.

"You can't reason with a guy when he's trying to solve problems in a rogue way."

"Only if you act more hooligan than them, can they sit down on their own initiative."

"It's not because you're right."

"It's because they're afraid of you."

Stanford's top students were taken aback when they heard this theory.

But Ethan didn't mean to explain much, waved his hand, and said: "Since this matter has passed, then let's not get entangled, Damio, let me ask you a question, do you want to make a game?"

Ethan put his hands in his pockets and looked at him calmly.
