African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 286 Worker Transfer
Ernst said casually, but it just made Mayne feel a little funny. He didn't understand firearms, so he bet on this aspect at will, but the boss insisted on this, so he couldn't say anything. It is my duty as the factory manager to dismiss their proposal if something is wrong.

Although Mayne doesn't know much about firearm design because he lacks imagination, he has a persistent examination of firearms. In other words, rigor and rigidity are the reasons why he became the director of the factory.

"Your Highness, if their design is flawed, I will not let them pass." Mayne said.

Ernst said: "Mr. Mayne, this requires your help. I believe that your more than 20 years of experience in the industry can help them complete the last step."

Mayne said: "For your sake, I will give them this chance. If they are really talented, I will also strongly support them."

Far East, Jiaozhou Textile Factory.

"The East African textile factory recruits workers. The treatment is favorable, including food and housing, and you can take the whole family to live in East Africa. This is a good opportunity. If anyone wants to go, you can raise your hand if you want to go." Said to all the employees at the staff meeting.

But no one raised their hands at the meeting. Although the treatment of Jiaozhou Textile Factory is not very good, it is stable, so the employees do not want to develop in East Africa thousands of miles away.

"Since no one wants to go, then we can only choose people by drawing lots. This is a task assigned by the higher authorities. If you are not willing to take the initiative to go to East Africa, then it depends on luck. The whole family of the selected people will go to East Africa Go, or you can resign early," Carlton said.

Carlton’s words caused commotion among the workers in the factory, and now everyone is scared. East Africa is strange and far away to them.

Some employees mustered up the courage to ask: "Director Carlton! Why do we have to go to East Africa?"

Carlton said: "Naturally, there is a shortage of people in East Africa, especially textile workers. You also know that the investors in Jiaozhou Textile Factory are the Hexingen royal family, and the Hexingen royal family is also the ruler of the East African kingdom, so they are the workers in the factory. Decision is also the meaning of the kingdom."

"Then is there any guarantee for going to East Africa? When we leave the country, we will say that we should not do it every day, and the land will not work!" Someone questioned.

Carlton said with a smile: "Do you mean that your treatment can be guaranteed here? In fact, it doesn't have to be too far. Go north, and there are factories invested by the British in Yantai. You can go and find out how the British treat them. Chinese employees, but your officials don’t even fart. Similarly, Jiaozhou is the same. To put it bluntly, the treatment of Jiaozhou Textile Factory is beyond the standard in the same type of enterprises in the Far East, that is, His Highness Ernst is kind. That’s why I treat you so well.”

When Carlton said this, the employees at the bottom had nothing to say. Facts are facts. The most indispensable thing here is manpower. Moreover, Carlton is a foreigner. He is an existence that officials and lords will bend over when they see it, so To say that they really want to bully themselves is to really bully.

Looking at the silent workers, Carlton said: "After going to East Africa, you will become a citizen of East Africa. East Africa is a country with sound laws. The law will protect your rights, or at least everyone is equal before the law. You don't have to. I am too worried about the law and order in East Africa, the most important thing is that the prices in East Africa are very stable and cheap, unlike yours where the fluctuations are so great, with the same salary, the cost of living in East Africa is lower, not to mention that the wages in East Africa are higher than those in the Far East.”

"Director Carlton, since the salary is so good, why don't you recruit workers from your own country, instead recruit people from us all the way?"

Carlton said: "This treatment is very good for you, but it is a matter of course for our people. Naturally, it is not very attractive. They are more keen to engage in other industries, so we recruit workers in the Far East. At the same time This is also the reason for the construction of the Jiaozhou textile factory, because your wages are low."

Carlton was outspoken, but this is the situation in this era. Not to mention wages, some people can eat two meals a day, which is considered a well-off family.

"Well, having said so much, have you changed your mind and taken the initiative to go to East Africa? Don't worry, your value is not that high. You will still be engaged in the textile industry in East Africa."

Carlton looked at the unactive employees and said helplessly: "Since this is the case, then we can only draw lots. This is fair for you. If you are lucky, go to East Africa, and if you are unlucky, you will stay in the factory."

In the end, Carlton selected more than 3000 people from the factory by lottery, even though they were unwilling to go to East Africa.

"Director Carlton, we can take the whole family there when we go to East Africa, is that true?"

"Of course, and they can guarantee their jobs, food and housing."

"Ah! There is another good thing, why didn't you say it just now?"

The employees originally thought that if they had a job in the past, they could only support the whole family by themselves, which was no different from the Far East. Carlton didn’t say just now that the workers’ relatives would also be provided with food, lodging and assigned work.

"Ah! Didn't I say that? I thought you all knew about it?" Carlton said in astonishment, "After all, this is common sense in East Africa."

Carleton is indeed from East Africa, so that automatically brings the Far East into East Africa.

Hearing that his family had jobs in East Africa, the workers who were still frowning just now turned into ecstasy. Going to East Africa is not a bad thing.

"But there is a word, let me make it clear first, unless your family members have special skills, such as carpenters, bricklayers... otherwise you can only be ordinary farmers in East Africa." Carlton said, looking at the whispering workers.

The employees don't care. The current situation is that some people may not be able to become farmers if they want to be farmers. Even if they become tenant farmers for landlords, they may have to pay back.

"Director Carlton, is being a farmer in East Africa the same as here?"

Carlton shook his head and said, "It's not the same, but it's a bit like a worker, who also gets paid."

"Food and lodging are also included?"

"Yes."

"That's good. Our family is not afraid of hardship. We can work in East Africa as well."

……

The East African Kingdom recruited textile workers from the Far East to hedge against Italian textile workers. The newly planned textile factory in Nairobi was almost turned into an Italian city by the influx of a large number of Italians. Therefore, East Africa needed to use immigrants from other regions to dilute Italian workers.

Therefore, some employees of the Jiaozhou textile factory were mobilized from East Africa, and then mixed with the Italian workers in the factory.
