Chapter 138 The Problem of Hiring
The next day, near noon, the caravan finally arrived at the Worel Werewolf Tribe.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Xu Yi felt that this time the Thundering? The attitude of the Woral’s patriarch towards them became more cautious than the last time.
Especially when facing Xu Yi, this attitude change is very obvious.
The last time the patriarch Woral looked disdainful to Xu Yi, but this time he actually smiled when he saw Xu Yi.
Although the smile on his wolf's head was ugly and even a little scary, it was enough to reflect his enthusiasm for Xu Yi.
Of course, this may be because he received 500,000 gold coins from humans like Xu Yi.
Even the orcs have to live.
With these 500,000 gold coins, the Wollar werewolf tribe can buy a large number of urgently needed daily necessities from humans, improve the lives of the entire tribe tribe and strengthen his position as the patriarch. Of course, he would be more enthusiastic about Xu Yi and others.
The caravan was resting temporarily in the Woror Werewolf Tribe. After lunch, the guards guarded the convoy to the non-ferrous metal mine veins next to the tribe.
Mining is not something that can be done in one or two days. According to the plan, the three chambers of commerce will now build a living base next to the mine vein, allowing the workers responsible for the preliminary projects to live and live.
After that, a series of subsequent equipment and manual labor will be transported one after another, and this ore vein will be truly mined.
According to estimates, this time will take about three to four months.
But compared with mining, the real problem with this mine is the logistics.
After all, this mine vein is on the Black Rice Wasteland, and it is not particularly close to the nearest town of Samara. It will be quite difficult to carry out various logistics supplies.
In order to ensure this, the three of them decided after consultation and asked the Amri Chamber of Commerce to send a construction team to build the road leading to the Woral werewolf tribe to the town of Samara.
In this way, the shipping time between the town of Samara and the Woral werewolf tribe can be shortened to half a day, and the orcs who intend to rob can be avoided.
As for logistics supplies, they are reasonably transported to Samara Town by the three chambers of commerce and stored in advance. They can be transported over when needed.
After solving this initial problem, the Amri Chamber of Commerce will seize the time to build the highway between Bangta City and Samara Town.
Xu Yi’s suggestion is that instead of rebuilding a road connecting the town of Samara directly, it is better to build a road connecting the town of Samara to the Luoyu Valley.
Although this will take a circle that is not big or small, the total distance may increase by dozens of kilometers, because of the existence of the Rainy Highway, the Amri Chamber of Commerce does not need to build more than 100 kilometers of roads at a time. It only needs to build a road with a distance of about 60 to 70 kilometers between the Rainy Valley and the town of Samara, which will undoubtedly save a lot of money and time.
In addition to the material issues, what troubles the three of them the most is actually the workers' problems.
The Black Rice Wasteland is the territory of the orcs, and in the eyes of most humans, orcs are hateful and ferocious. They are not friendly to humans, so it is basically not necessary. Generally, no human will come to the territory of the orcs.
If you want to mine this ore vein, you will have to send many workers.
However, it is really too difficult to require human workers to live and work in orc territory for a long time.
For this reason, when the three chambers of commerce hired workers, they promised high salaries, even close to thirty gold coins per month.
However, even so, the human workers who are willing to come are still far from meeting the needs.
When the three of them discussed the issues they would face next, they felt unsustainable every time they discussed this.
Before, all three of them could only say that they would take their time. Under the temptation of high salaries, they would inevitably be able to recruit enough human workers.
But this time when I came to the Worel Werewolf Tribe and felt the change in the attitude of the Worel patriarch, Xu Yi thought of a new possibility.
After lunch, Xu Yi made an appointment with the patriarch Woral and made his own request to him.
"Do you want our tribe members to work for you?" The leader of the Wollar widened his wolf's eyes and looked at Xu Yi in surprise. He wondered if this human was crazy?
Before this, the connection between the orcs and humans could only be achieved by taking each other's needs and doing unpainable transactions. Apart from that, there was only one who fought each other and had no other connection at all.
This time, these humans said they wanted to run to their tribe to start mining. They even paid him 500,000 gold coins, which surprised him enough.
Now this human is actually saying that he wants to hire his own tribe members to work for their chamber of commerce, which is ridiculous.
"Is there any problem?" Xu Yi smiled, as if he could not see the surprise of the Worel Priest. "I think you should know now that in our New Flight Chamber of Commerce, there are not only human workers, but also elf workers and dwarf workers. I don't think it's strange that there are more orc workers, right?"
The patriarch Woral knew this, but he still felt a little strange.
"Why are those dwarves, even those annoying elves, willing to work for you? What benefits did you give them?" asked the patriarch Woral, curiously.
"Nothing special. I just provided them with work, and then paid them on time and benefited like human workers." Xu Yi spread his hands.
"It's that simple? Those guys are willing to work in your chamber of commerce honestly?" The patriarch Woral obviously didn't believe it.
"It's that simple." Xu Yi nodded. "I don't think there is anything unacceptable to this. Whether it's dwarves or elves, they also need to survive, right? Is there anything wrong with working in our chamber of commerce that can get a stable salary and then buy what they want to get with these salary. "
"You said... they can buy all the things they hope to get with gold coins?" The patriarch Woral immediately asked.
"Yes. Because I applied for a labor certificate to the Kingdom Council for them. During the period when the labor certificate comes into effect, no matter they are dwarves or elves, they can enjoy the same treatment as ordinary human residents in the kingdom. Of course, they can buy whatever they need with money." After a pause, Xu Yi added: "Of course, there are many things that even human residents cannot buy, and they are no exception."
"Labor certificate? So powerful?" The patriarch Woral immediately became very interested in the concept of "Labor certificate". He grabbed Xu Yi and asked him to explain for a long time before he understood the specific meaning of this thing.
"That is to say... if our tribe members work in your chamber of commerce and then you apply for a labor certificate for them, they can take gold coins to your human world and buy things casually? Do you guarantee that the money they spend exactly the same money you humans spent when they bought things?" asked the chief Woral again.
"I can't guarantee this." Xu Yi shook his head. "But what I can guarantee is that if the price of a product is a gold coin, then when humans go to buy it, the orcs holding labor certificates will only spend one gold coin. Merchants will not ask for more money just because you are an orc."
"That's enough!" Patriarch Wolle slapped the table hard, and the wolf's head was filled with joy. "You damn human traders... Oh, sorry, President Xu, I'm not talking about you. In short, when we bought things from you humans, we could only exchange things, but we couldn't buy them with money. Many times, we knew that the things we exchanged could actually sell more money in your human world, but there was no way. If we didn't exchange them, the human traders wouldn't give us at all. If we had this labor certificate, it would be much better."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Captain Woral, are you worried about your 500,000 gold coins?"
The patriarch Woral opened his mouth wide and whined him up to the sky.
Although Xu Yi and the other two paid him 500,000 gold coins last time because of purchasing the non-ferrous metal vein, as a werewolf, the leader of the Wollar knew that even if he used these 500,000 gold coins to buy various materials needed by the tribe from humans, he would definitely be cheated. So he was always worried about how to use these 500,000 gold coins.
Now that Xu Yi suddenly filed a labor certificate, he immediately saw hope.
"President Xu, if you are willing to do me a favor, I can agree to your request and let the tribesmen work for you." said the leader of the Woral.
Xu Yi smiled and saw the look of expectation on the face of the patriarch Woral, he knew nothing to guess what he wanted to help him.
"I'm afraid I really can't help with this, so you should talk to President Reelsa."
"Relsa?" A white air spurted out from the nostrils of the patriarch Voral, and he snorted coldly. "This shameful human has tricked us for a long time. Do you still want me to believe him?"
"There's nothing to do." Xu Yi spread his hands and said helplessly. "After all, the patriarch Relsa and I are partners, and I can't reach such an agreement with you without hiding it. The trade between the orcs and humans is basically the responsibility of the Recton Chamber of Commerce. If I promise you this way, there may be no possibility of cooperation between me and President Relsa in the future."
"But if you don't agree to me, there is no possibility of cooperation between us." The patriarch Woral said without hesitation.
"No, the matter is not so absolute." Xu Yi was unmoved and smiled: "Although I can't promise you to help you solve this problem, I can discuss with you and President Reelsa for you and try to make him meet your needs. What do you think?"
The patriarch Woral looked at Xu Yi with a suspicion: "You really want to help me?"
“To be precise, I want to help everyone while achieving my goal. I used to call this win-win, but now it is a win-win.”
The patriarch Woral thought for a while and nodded slowly.
