Blackstone Code

Chapter 65: Eredi, 1 Si Aniu

   Anderson is a very ordinary worker. The factory has been shutting down more and more frequently recently, which makes everyone very uneasy.

   From the one-week suspension of work every month last year, to the current one-week and one-week suspension of work, a kind of panic is spreading in the hearts of every worker, especially... he heard that the factory seems to be unable to sustain it anymore.

   It's not that the factory is losing money. In fact, the factory is not losing money. It's just that the sales of the things it produces are getting worse and worse. Many goods are piled up in the warehouse, slowly becoming dusty.

   If things cannot be sold, there will be no income. Adding the cost of inputs, storage management fees, workers' wages, and other losses have become the biggest headache for factory owners.

   Although he has always assured the workers that he will continue the life of the factory as much as possible, everyone has a feeling that the day of changing jobs is not far away.

Today is payday. Anderson packed himself up and came out of the factory early in the morning. Everyone chatted in groups of ordinary content. Most of them were who suddenly made a fortune or were around. Several of his factories closed down again.

   They didn't feel that life would be so difficult before, especially in the previous years, the factory continued to operate from morning to night, and after the end of each day, the workers were too tired to lift their arms.

   At that time, I was very tired, but also very fulfilling. As long as there is a job, there is a rich return. The factory owner even expanded the factory for this, adding more jobs....

   Everyone was chatting, reminiscing about the past, or being full of fear for the future. At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the factory's financial office.

   The noisy sound immediately pierced everyone's sensitive nerves. Most people immediately finished what they were doing and ran towards the door of the financial office.

   After Anderson approached, he discovered that several workers were arguing with the factory owner, that is, their boss. There were two reasons for the quarrel.

   First, the factory will be shut down from next month. As for the resumption of work, everyone should wait for notification.

   This is equivalent to telling everyone that the factory is over. The so-called resumption of work may not exist at all. The federal salary system is based on the working hour system. You can get how much money you do as many things as you do.

   This kind of system has always been reasonable, especially for the hard-working workers. The more they give, the more they get. Everyone has worked hard to contribute to the factory.

  Once there is a complete shutdown, it means that these workers will not have a penny of income next month!

   The vast majority of ordinary households in the Commonwealth do not have the habit of actively saving. Coupled with the continuous downward adjustment of the savings interest of the six major federal banks in the recent period, the difference between depositing money in the bank and holding it in your hands is not much different.

   This further reduces the urge to deposit money in the bank.

   Money has a very special attribute. When you have money, you will have an inexplicable desire to consume. The more money, the stronger the desire to consume.

   It may be to buy a Haute Doug that you rarely buy to satisfy your appetite, or it may be to buy a pack of good cigarettes that you haven't bought before to enjoy the mellow aroma of money burning.

  Without deposits, life depends entirely on salary. If there is no salary, many families will immediately fall into the terrible situation of cessation of operation!

   What’s more terrifying is that the payment period of various installment products expires, including houses and cars, which will become a burden that overwhelms people’s lives!

   In the past few years, the whole world began to stabilize from the melee, and the Federation, which had been free from war, began to develop rapidly.

   There are a lot of new things, including the methods and concepts of consumption. Not only can the house be installed, but the car can be installed. As long as you have a social security card and legal citizenship, you can buy a TV in installments.

   Everyone is enjoying the huge dividends of the times, as if there are money everywhere, as long as you bend down, you can pick it up.

   But now, these unpaid installments have become nooses around people's necks, which can be tightened anytime and anywhere, and take people's lives!

   Several workers are arguing with their boss about this matter. They demand that the boss start work next month, and no less than ten days. This is their last insistence.

   Work for one day and rest for two days. If this is not guaranteed, their lives will become a problem.

   Obviously, the boss is always cold and shaking his head constantly. It is impossible for him to accept such a request.

   Business is not good now. The market in the surrounding area of ​​Sabine City and even in the state has been saturated. It is difficult for goods to be sold in bulk as before, and the rate of payment is slow. The money returned is basically spent on storage fees and wages.

   Continue to start work. He has no second way to go except bankruptcy. The only thing he can do now is to stop work completely, and then find a way out for his products, or find a problem, and then continue to work after solving it.

  The workers were at a loss at this time. In fact, the factory owner was also at a loss. It was a very popular item. Why couldn't it be sold in just one or two years!

   You should know that in the past, a large number of people drove trucks to rush to load goods outside the warehouse, but now some people actually call him to ask if they can return the goods, even if only 30% of the money is returned!

   In addition to the problem of work stoppage, there is another problem, and that is how the salary is paid this time.

   "There is not much money in the factory's account and it cannot be paid to all of you, so I thought maybe we could use another way to pay you..."

Regarding the issue of work stoppage, everyone has stopped arguing. The workers decided to let the union come forward. They looked at the factory owner coldly at this time, and there was no previous friendship at all. There was not only a wall between each other, but each other. Also became an enemy.

The factory owner's eyelids trembled twice, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, his voice was dry, astringent and hoarse, "I don't know how to say...", he looked at the strange workers around him and sighed. , "You already know the current situation of the factory, I can't afford to pay..."

Before he finished speaking, the group of workers nearest to him suddenly burst into an uproar. This uproar is spreading and spreading rapidly to all sides. The entire factory is noisy, so that in the end the factory owner also put away his unnecessary emotions. Watching the workers arguing indifferently and making noise.

   After another period of time ~lightnovelpub.net~ this kind of noise could not be answered, and it could not solve the demands, so they quieted down.

   At this time, there was a slight sneer on the face of the factory owner. The workers were also to himself, but he quickly took it back.

   "I will send you what we produce, based on the cost price, as a salary."

   "You can refuse to accept it, and you can even go to the labor union or the court to sue me. It just so happens that I can apply for bankruptcy protection. Let's all play together!"

   "If you are willing to accept it, go to the warehouse to collect your'salary'!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the finance office. Then an accountant and several managers began to come out to caress their emotions.

   Anderson stands in the crowd like a puppet and follows the crowd. His mind is full of noise and tinnitus. The only thing he thinks about at this time is that the sky is falling.

   In fact, he doesn't have to worry at all, because he will adapt quickly.

   Some of the workers got into trouble, and some silently went to collect the inventory. At least these things are more or less a thing, as long as they are valuable, it is better than nothing at all, isn't it?

   Outside the warehouse, he numbly took out a pen to sign his name on the salary book, and then looked at the three large boxes of household appliances on the side, his mind buzzed.

   What should I do in the days to come?

   Anderson, carrying three boxes, just walked through the factory door, when a strong wind blew, and suddenly something floated in the wind and covered his face.

   He tore it off and opened it, but it was a poster that was common all over the street. A handsome man with eight teeth showing up and holding a gleaming ad slogan-"Ariday, A Tiny A Niu Dai"
