From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 151 Atlas Mining is urgently recruiting skilled workers

Randall was a little confused. He didn't expect Amber to prepare to take away the operations base so openly.

He immediately opened a private chat channel alone, and then continued to ask:

"My boss, are you sure you want to get rid of this thing?"

"Of course, doesn't Timler Mining Company not want this thing? I'll help them recycle it, which can be regarded as waste recycling~"

Amber replied matter-of-factly.

"No, aren't you afraid that this mining company will come to your door?"

Randall knew that Amber always took advantage when it came to taking advantage, but he never thought that this guy was so bold.

"Just come to your door~"

Amber didn't panic at all and didn't think this was a serious problem at all.

"If they really come to me, then I have to take care of the commission they charge for this operation, the transportation and storage fees for the operation base, and the accommodation fees for the over 100 miners who eat, drink, and eat."

Listening to Amber's words, a slightly braver miner raised his hand.

Damn it, fallen into the den of thieves again.

"You said."

"It's good, as long as you gain something~"

Faced with such a reaction, Amber was a little embarrassed, so he continued to add:

"It's okay, you continue. If we finish it as soon as possible, we will close the team as soon as possible~"

"Boss!"

In the main control room, the Marines stopped what they were doing when they saw his figure.

"Thank you for your question. You all must be as brave as this friend so that we can continue to communicate."

Amber clapped and continued:

"Ahem, don't be afraid, everyone! We are not bad people!"

"We are not pirates, nor are we people hired by your company. We are just a civilian merchant ship that happened to be passing by."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the miners began to move. They all looked at their familiar companions, their eyes revealing the same message.

"I also saw the message your company sent out more than ten days ago, requesting to deal with pirates, but no one seems to have responded. I just happened to pass by today and I just helped to eliminate the pirates."

Following his words, the miners slowly became quiet.

"My lord, I want to know what you plan to do with this base and us people?"

"Ahem, because it seems that your company does not intend to recycle this operational base. Based on the principle of not wasting, I plan to take away this base and related equipment directly."

"Awesome. Amber, I find that I can really learn a lot from working with you."

Amber waved her hand, and then floated all the way to the miners who had gathered together, facing the unknown fate with frightened faces.

While chatting privately with Randall, Amber also parked the fanatic on the platform where the assault boat was located, and then floated into the operations base wearing a heavy-duty hydraulic anti-gravity suit that can support extravehicular activities.

After floating along the passage for a while, he opened the hatch of the main control room and got in.

There was another commotion in the crowd. The miners didn't expect Amber to be so straightforward.

However, Amber didn't care about their reactions and continued to talk to herself.

"As for you, you have two options."

Amber held up a finger.

"First, I will send you to a nearby planet or airport. Anyway, you should have chips implanted by Timler Company in your bodies. As long as you reach an area with network, they should send people to take you back. Everyone Then I can continue to work for your company~”

This choice didn't seem very attractive, and the miners present fell silent, waiting for Amber to say the second choice.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Amber raised a second finger.

"Second, come and work in my mining company."

As soon as these words were spoken, many miners showed expressions of "Sure enough,".

In their view, the mysterious man who had just rescued them seemed to be no different from the people of Timler Mining Company. But Amber's next words made these miners begin to wonder if they had heard something wrong.

"If you join our company, I will first remove the chips in your body, and I will not implant any chips, because the employees of our company are free people, not slaves.

After that, I will sign a three-year asteroid operation contract with the new employees. After signing, they will work honestly on the asteroid for the next three years.

At the end of the three-year period, I will settle your labor fees in one lump sum and terminate the contract.

You can take this money and be free to go wherever you want.

Of course, if anyone wants to renew their contract at that time, I will very much welcome it. "

After finishing this long paragraph, Amber stopped and stood in front of everyone with her hands behind her back, waiting for their reactions.

The miners below were all dumbfounded.

They worked for the Timler Mining Company to pay off their debts.

Although most people's debts are inseparable from this company, because they borrowed various student loans and home purchase loans from companies owned by the Timler family for various reasons.

As a result, the amount that needed to be repaid became a terrifying figure based on a formula they couldn't understand at all.

In this case, the 'kind-hearted' Timler family allowed them to repay their debts through labor in their mining companies.

But now, the man who rescued them from pirates actually said he wanted to pay them wages?

For a while, these miners began to whisper among themselves.

Before making a decision, they subconsciously seek the opinions of others, but just to better convince themselves.

After a while, another hand was raised among the miners.

It’s the same miner who bravely asked the question just now.

"Sir, we would like to know whether working in your mining company involves going to any special dangerous environment?"

"No, it's just normal asteroid mining operations."

"Then let me ask you, why did you pay our wages and promise to give us our freedom in three years?"

"I pay to buy your time, skills and labor. Isn't this a normal behavior?"

Amber's answer left the miner speechless for a moment.

This answer was obviously so normal, but to him and other miners, it sounded like a bubble of illusion.

"By the way, I just forgot to mention it."

Amber seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke.

And many miners also showed expressions like, "So you were waiting for me here."

But after they listened to what Amber said, each of them opened their mouths wider than before.

"The asteroid operators affiliated to our company implement a 'four shifts and two shifts' working system.

Daily working hours are eight hours, and weekly working hours shall not exceed 40 hours. In high-risk mining environments, working hours will be further shortened.

According to the work schedule, an activity to 'relax and vent energy' will be held every quarter, and a corresponding mobile entertainment center will be arranged to come to the mining area."

Amber went through some of the basic benefits of miners in one breath, and more than 100 miners were forced to talk to him until the entire control room fell silent.

Although he has always aspired to be a big capitalist, he knows that blindly squeezing his employees will only lead to lower and lower work efficiency.

Compared to mining asteroids, the profits gained from trading ores.

The cost of these miners’ wages and benefits is simply a drop in the bucket.

And now everyone's reaction was also what he expected.

After all, there are not many companies in this world that deal with personnel matters.

Amber looked at the time and it was time to finish.

He looked up at the crowd again, with a slight curve on his lips.

"Do you guys have any more questions?"
