My courtyard shelter

Meimei drank two bowls of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, and Xu Dong felt extremely comfortable. It was a blessing to be able to drink such a delicious soup these days.

After lunch, Su Wenfeng left with an excuse.

Xu Dong said on the spot that he would personally visit him in two days. Since the other party was giving him face like this, he couldn't say nothing at all, otherwise it would be too rude.

No matter what, the branch base still has to make a living on other people's territory, not looking at the monk's face but the Buddha's face.

In the afternoon, accompanied by President Damu and Ye Hui, Xu Dong first visited the sub-base under construction, and then walked around the industrial zone.

Generally speaking, the construction progress of the branch base is still very fast. Two-thirds of it has been completed. It only needs the final finishing touches and equipment installation. It is estimated that it will be fully put into production in July or August next year.

As for the huge industrial zone, it can only be said that it has just started. At present, except for the behemoth of the sub-base, the rest are just small fish and shrimps.

The only thing that can be considered large-scale is the mariculture that President Omu mentioned before. The Nisang people are very good at the ocean. They have built dozens of kilometers of breeding bases along the coastline.

Looks very ambitious!

In the evening, Xu Dong entertained Ye Hui alone on the yacht, and the two chatted while eating.

"Mr. Ye, you have been in Maputo for more than half a year. How do you feel about it overall?"

"The future is bright, but the road is tortuous."

Ye Hui directly applied a popular saying.

"Where is the light? Where are the twists and turns?"

“Southern Philippines has potential. If developed, it will definitely become a locomotive for the entire Philippines. Even if the climate recovers in the future, the natural conditions here will not be bad.

However, the foundation of South Africa is so poor that it will take at least thirty years to fully develop. There will be no miracles in a short time.

We must endure loneliness. It is unrealistic to do it overnight. It is too far away from the country and the construction cost cannot be reduced. We can only take one step at a time. "

Xu Dong took a sip of red wine: "Then it's still the same old question. Based on your observation, is this place suitable for headquarters?"

"I think it's suitable." Ye Hui nodded.

"What's the reason? Tell me in detail."

"Dr. Xu, indoor planting technology in China and even in Kangaroo Country is very mature. Our seaweed powder is at best a substitute project and will never become mainstream.

The Philippines is different here. The total population here is only over 20 million. The food pressure is not great. There is not even a large planting base here.

As long as the cost is kept down, our seaweed powder has a chance to become a staple food. Moreover, the Philippines is close to Europa, and exports are more convenient. This is a huge market. "

Xu Dong nodded and then changed the topic: "There are too few immigrants here. How can the company's employees solve the problem?"

"Director Xu, I have two solutions here."

"Which two?"

"The first one is to replace workers with machines as much as possible. I asked someone about it. There are many second-hand automated production lines on the black market in North Philippines. They can be used with a little modification."

"How much labor can be reduced? How much capital will be invested?" Xu Dong quickly asked.

"It can probably reduce the number of employees by more than half. The key is that the investment is not much. Many second-hand equipment here are cheap and should not exceed one billion."

"are you sure?"

Xu Dong was a little surprised.

Domestic production equipment has always been very tight. A lot of equipment that was previously ordered by the branch base is still queued up, and the arrival date is far away.

Ye Hui smiled confidently: "Director Xu, I can vouch for this. Europa has been in a bad spot recently. Many factories are trying their best to sell off equipment."

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, it's a mess over there. It's not surprising what happens."

"Okay, what about the second option?"

Ye Hui shrugged: "Director Xu, this shouldn't be difficult to guess. Didn't President Damu demonstrate it to you during lunch?"

"You mean bringing in workers from Europe?"

"Yes, Europa labor is cheap, has high average quality, and is very popular in the local market. Many factories in our industrial zone use a large number of Europa workers."

"But what I heard in North Philippines is different from what you said? Over there, the reputation of Europa laborers is not very good. They are said to be lazy and cunning. They are simply notorious."

"Well, we are all formal employers here, and they have signed labor contracts, and the dispatch workers are more willing to come to South Philippines to work.

As for our neighbors to the north, especially in the Northern Philippines, they especially like to take advantage of fire and plunder. To be honest, what they recruit is not laborers, but slaves. It is not surprising that conflicts break out between the two sides. "

Ye Hui's face was full of contempt.

How old is this? Those "Tu emperors" did not learn from the good, but only learned from the bad. They actually followed the beautiful country and started to engage in slave labor.

It is also a beautiful day: treat others in their own way.

In fact, these people do not understand modern management at all. "Slavery" is the most inefficient method of production and has long been eliminated by capitalists.

The most important thing is that anyone who has received a complete basic education is unlikely to tolerate such a personal insult, and it would be strange not to resist.

"That's it." Xu Donghuan said in realization, "I thought they were used to having four days off and three days off, and they couldn't stand the current working environment."

"Mr. Xu, that's all old news. It's been almost 17 years since the big solar flare. Europeans have to survive, and they've long been accustomed to hard times.

Speaking of which, many ordinary people here are more hardworking than people in our country.

In our country, even if you don't work hard, you can survive on the rationing system. It's different in Europe. Not making money means no food to eat, and people will really starve to death."

Xu Dong picked up a piece of fish: "I heard that Europeans like to stick together. They have established many unions privately. Are there any risks?"

Europe is rich in extreme leftism.

He didn't want to argue with these people.

"Mr. Xu, you're definitely overthinking it. The reason they choose to stick together is mainly to fight against those black-hearted bosses in the north.

Our wages and benefits are very good here. They don't have time to cherish them. How could they ruin their own jobs? Besides, our unions are under the unified management of the Nantou Group, so there won't be any trouble."

Xu Dong nodded subconsciously.

However, he did not completely believe the other party. After all, Ye Hui had worked abroad for a long time and recognized the Western trade unions in her bones.

"There is no rush to recruit workers. We should focus on immigrants from our country. I will discuss with General Manager Su to see if we can make special arrangements and recruit a group of employees from China.

If domestic employees are really not enough, we will consider European workers. I remind you here that we should give priority to female employees, and those with families are second. Do you understand what I mean?"

Compared with male employees, female employees are slightly inferior in terms of combat effectiveness and resistance. This move is also to be on the safe side.

"I understand!" Ye Hui nodded immediately.

"It's good that you understand. I will propose the relocation of the headquarters to the board of directors when I return. It should not be difficult to pass. You should prepare first."

Ye Hui was overjoyed: "Boss Xu, don't worry, our family community will be completed in two months, and it will be able to accommodate as many people as possible."
