Chapter 120

Two days later, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's factory on the outskirts of Bonta City welcomed a special guest.

"Miss Sevini, please see, these two workshops are the current factories of our New Air Flight Chamber of Commerce, and the building next to it is our new magic machine tool workshop. According to the deadline given by Director Riley, it can be put into use within this month." Xu Yi stood in the square outside the workshop, introducing to Sevini next to him one by one.

Wien Riley, who was standing beside him, immediately smiled when he heard Xu Yi mention his name and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, you can finish your work at the end of the month."

Sevini looked at the magic machine tool workshop that covers an area of ​​no more than 1,000 square meters, and then looked at the new workshop next to it, which was obviously nearly ten times larger. He frowned and said, "Can such a big house be built within a month? Even if it is built, it cannot be put into use so quickly, right? President Xu, are you too anxious?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "If Superintendent Riley had not insisted on ensuring the quality of the project and not slander them the Amra Guild, I would even ask him to complete the project in the middle of the month."

Manager Riley was immediately happy when he heard Xu Yi inadvertently praised him and Director Amley.

Judging from Xu Yi's attitude of paying so much attention and even being respectful, although Miss Sewini looks very young, she must be a very identifiable person. If she could leave some good impressions in her heart, it would be a good thing for Director Riley and the Amley Chamber of Commerce.

"President Xu, although His Majesty the King has requested relatively tight time, I hope you can avoid excessive pressure and accidents due to this. If those workers are hurt by it, His Majesty the King and I will be uneasy." Sevini looked at Xu Yi and said sincerely.

Xu Yi was slightly stunned. He looked at Sevini and found that her expression was very sincere, not like she was saying polite words against her will. After thinking about it, he nodded and smiled, "Don't worry. Miss Sevini, I attach great importance to the safety of my workers. In addition, I am very at ease with the ability of Amley Chamber of Commerce and Superintendent Riley, and there should be no accidents."

Director Riley immediately reciprocated and said: "Miss Sewini, you don't know. If you want to talk about the treatment of your employees, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very good. Don't say that there is no chamber of commerce in our Bonta City. I'm afraid that there is no chamber of commerce in the entire Lampari Kingdom that can be compared."

"Oh?" Sewini looked at Director Riley and asked with interest: "What are the treatments of the New Flight Chamber of Commerce's employees? Why do you say you think it's so good?"

Director Riley glanced at Xu Yi, saw that he had nothing to say, and smiled and said, "Nothing else is said, the workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only have eight hours of fixed working hours a day, so no chamber of commerce can compare to it."

"Eight hours a day for a fixed working time?" Sewini looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "President Xu. Is this true?"

Xu Yi smiled and nodded.

Of course, Sewini knew that Xu Yi would definitely not deceive her in matters that were so easy to be found, and she was even more surprised.

"Why is this regulation? Although workers also need rest time, they only have eight hours of fixed working hours. Don't you think it's too little? You leave so much rest time for hired workers, don't you think the salary you give them is a waste?"

Xu Yi's expression was a bit strange, thinking that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now causing workers to work overtime every day because of too many orders. If placed on the earth, they will definitely be called an unscrupulous capitalist. Unexpectedly, they will be questioned here and give the workers too much rest time, which will waste their salary.

"This... Miss Sewini, the workers are also human beings. In addition to work, they should also have their own private time. In fact, Superintendent Riley is not right. Recently, because the work of the Chamber of Commerce is too busy, the workers have to work overtime every day and there is no longer so much rest time."

Before Severny could speak, Director Riley couldn't help but say, "Come on, President Xu. The workers in your chamber of commerce want to work overtime. After my workers heard your workers mention their overtime pay, some even wanted to jump to your chamber of commerce."

"Overtime pay?" Sewini was surprised again. "What is this?"

"Uh... it means that if the workers are required to work outside the specified eight-hour working hours, they have to pay them additional compensation. These compensations are called overtime pay." Xu Yi explained.

Sewini looked at Xu Yi with a strange look: "President Xu, you are such a strange president. You are also very strange in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. This is the first time I heard that the employees of the Chamber of Commerce have overtime pay. By the way, President Xu, can I take the liberty to ask, are the wages of the workers in your Chamber of Commerce paying each month?"

"It's nothing to be presumptuous, it's not a secret." Xu Yi smiled and said, "If it's a fixed eight-hour working hours and no overtime work, the wages of workers in these two workshops are about eight gold coins. As for the more overtime work in the past two months, it's usually between ten and sixteen gold coins."

"So much?" Sewini's eyes widened slightly, thought for a while, turned to Supervisor Riley and asked, "Mr. Riley, can I ask your workers how much their monthly salary is?"

Director Riley smiled bitterly, looked at Xu Yi with a resentment, hesitated for a moment, and then hesitated and answered: "This...the job types are different, the salary is different. At present, about four to eight gold coins per month..." Seeing Sewini's strange eyes, Director Riley couldn't help but defend himself, "The price given by our Amley Chamber of Commerce is already high enough. Other workers who build houses like us can only have six gold coins per month at most! Miss Sewini, you can't compare our Chamber of Commerce with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, President Xu...he..."

"What's wrong with me?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

Under the stare of Xu Yi and Sevini, Director Riley laughed dryly for a long time, knowing that he couldn't escape after all, so he lowered his voice and said, "This... President Xu, Miss Sevini, don't say I said it. In fact, when many big bosses of chambers of commerce in Bonta City talked about President Xu privately, they all said... they said that President Xu was completely a waste of his family..."

"Prodigal?" Xu Yi laughed silently: "Is it a prodigal to pay higher wages to workers? I think they are too stingy?"

Superintendent Riley waved his hands repeatedly: "President Xu, you can't say this. Actually, if you want me to say it, you are a bit of a waste. But you are just ordinary hired workers. Do you need to pay them such a high salary? What about your New Flying Chamber of Commerce to pay employees such a high salary, so what should we do if our Bonta City Chamber of Commerce do? Do you know that my workers even protested to me several times. If President Cruise hadn't promised to raise some salary in the future, I'm afraid these workers would have quit."

Xu Yi looked at the somewhat angry Director Riley. He thought that these words were probably not the intention of Director Riley, but the instructions of President Cruise, and could also be regarded as a small warning from other chambers of commerce in Bonta City.

Xu Yi disdained this.

Compared to myself, these guys are the capitalists who are perfectly squeezing the blood and sweat of workers.

Of course, on the Continent of Sains, these guys' approach is normal. However, Xu Yi's approach is really too abnormal, and the opinions of these people are expected.

But Xu Yi did not intend to change it according to their wishes.

Judging from the historical development of the industry on the earth, it is actually not a suitable practice to desperately lower the wages of workers, because this actually violates the laws of social and economic development and will instead inhibit economic development.

If the general public does not have enough economic ability to buy goods, it means that the mass economic market is not active enough. Instead, it will affect the circulation of goods, thereby affecting the profits of the chamber of commerce that sells goods, and eventually forming a vicious cycle.

Moderately increasing workers' salaries like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce allows workers to have enough economic strength to meet the basic needs of their families, while still having spare time to buy other goods, which will make it easier to promote the circulation of goods and accelerate economic development.

For example, the two hundred human workers who are working in the home magic machinery production workshop now have more than ten gold coins every month, not only has the family life improved significantly, but they have even spare money to buy some small toys for the children at home.

Although these toys were not produced by the New Air Chamber of Commerce, the chamber of commerce that produced these toys has benefited, thus allowing the chamber of commerce to obtain more profits, creating more jobs, and increasing the economic income of other people.

If this cycle continues, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will eventually benefit from it.

Take the magic fan as an example. In fact, a magic fan is only priced at two gold coins. If the per capita income of Bangta City can reach the level of workers in the production workshop of home magic machinery, then every family has enough strength to buy one.

In this way, in the small Bangta City alone, the new flying magic fans can be sold for tens of thousands of units, rather than like this summer, just thousands of units.

Xu Yi thinks that people like President Cruise may not understand these principles, and he does not intend to waste time telling them these great principles. The best way is to do it directly.

Only when these guys show the real benefits before them can they understand.

As for now, Xu Yi does not intend to change his approach.

After quickly turning these thoughts in his mind, Xu Yi paused and smiled at Director Riley, saying, "It's okay if you don't do it. Our chamber of commerce is preparing to expand the production scale. Now we are planning to recruit some more workers. If your workers don't want to do it, I welcome them to join our chamber of commerce."

Director Riley suddenly changed his sarcasm: "President Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Yi laughed and patted Director Riley on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing, it's just a joke. Don't worry, Director Riley, please tell President Cruise, saying that since our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce has joined the Commercial Federation, it will definitely not make it difficult for everyone to do. Since the workers' salaries have increased, it is impossible to lower them for no reason. But in other aspects, we can cooperate more. As long as everyone earns gold coins, even if they give workers a higher salary, it is not a difficult thing to accept. Are you right?"

Director Riley looked at Xu Yi with a gloomy face.

Is this Xu Yi talking sarcastic?
