Exclamations broke out from time to time in the noisy crowd, causing the temporarily unemployed residents of District 5 to gather around curiously.
Ilian's Fifth District is the largest living and working area in the city, with more than six million people living here. Excluding minors and the elderly, the working population here is approximately 2.5 million. Fifteen to 25 percent of them are unemployed, less than 50 percent of the remaining residents have long-term jobs, and the rest are short-term workers.
This is very in line with the characteristics of a tourist city. Whenever the tourist season comes, some small factories may not be able to recruit people. However, once the tourist off-season arrives, small factories and workshops will choose to close temporarily in order to save costs and expenses, resulting in Many people are out of work during a given period of time.
Therefore, during the peak tourist season, which lasts for seven to eight months, people are basically not too picky about their jobs. As long as they earn enough money to survive the off-duty period and have some left over, they are satisfied. They have been here this way over the years, and it is not that no one has protested, but no matter how loud the momentum is, there is no guarantee in the end.
City Hall is a government agency, not a welfare organization. They will not issue basic welfare benefits like the federal government does. Only fools would do that.
With only three months left before the peak tourist season, people are working hard to find jobs, work hard, and strive to earn more money to protect their families from going hungry during the work break.
So when Totti brought 10,000 job quotas, especially long-term employment quotas, all the Guartes were excited! Too many people and too many families need a stable job, especially since the salary standard given by Dulin is higher than the average level of other factories, and there are two meals a day, which is almost equivalent to a fight. Two jobs.
You must know that all the places in the city that require work can only guarantee some food that can barely fill your stomach at noon, and most places do not offer dinner.
Some people of other races struggled to squeeze into the crowd. Their eyes turned red when they looked at Old Toti standing on the flower bed, and they shouted loudly, "Dad Toti, count me in, I have the strength." ! ", the man said and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and the bulging muscles made some thin guys take a breath.
Dad Toti knows this person. He used to work at the dock. He was so squeezed some time ago that he couldn't stand it and resigned. He has not found a satisfactory job yet.
The dock is one of the largest sources of employment in the city, but the operators of the dock cleverly avoid the standards and benefits required by the workers' union. Whenever a worker has worked for two years, they will find ways to torture him and make him Take the initiative to resign and avoid the subsequent series of expenses. For example, the cost of physical examinations twice a year, some protection costs during work breaks, and salary increases after two years of service.
In Ilian and even in developed areas across the country, after a worker works somewhere for two years, his salary will rise step by step in the third year. This ratio is about 5 to 10 percent. There will also be a security payment during the strike period, which in Ilian is almost three months of minimum standard wages accumulated. Some factories need skilled workers with certain skills, and they have to spend this money, but all the ports need are coolies, so they will try their best to force the workers away within the specifications of the contract.
Even if workers resign, they will bring them back later, just to avoid these additional expenses.
The workers' union has nothing to do about this. There are always some people who beg for work in a lowly manner, and they can understand this behavior. Of course, there are also some people who choose to resign completely after a few times, such as the strong man who shouted before.
Father Totti shook his head and apologized with an apologetic smile on his face, "I'm sorry, this time the recruiter is a Guar rich man. His only requirement is that every worker must be a Guar." Special person!" When he said this, Dad Toti's voice rose slightly, with a feeling of elation.
When Abion was still alive, the Guart people's lives were not happy. Although they could find jobs through him, they always felt humiliated, as if they were begging for jobs that only others could get. Some breath holding. Being able to stand here today and say such words in front of so many people, Totti seemed to realize something in a trance. He didn't go into it, it was a good thing, not a bad thing, that was fine.
The strong man's face froze, he waved his hand and squeezed out of the crowd. When he turned around, no one was still looking at him. No matter how strong he is, no matter how hard-working he is, as long as he is not a Guarte, he is not qualified to get that job with extremely generous benefits.
Recruitment is proceeding in an orderly manner, and Totti is also very careful about the selection of workers. He tries to ensure that only one from a family is hired, and that every hired worker has no criminal record and is not a rogue. This is his He could only do this to repay what he could.
The news of the start of construction in District 8 swept through the entire Ilian like a whirlwind. There may not be much movement in Districts 1 and 2, as they are all populated by wealthy people. But most people in the next three districts are concerned. The construction of a city district means huge profits. According to the plan announced by the city hall, the completion of the entire district will require at least about 200 to 300 million yuan. This is all because of Chi Guoguo. profit.
Not only the people of Ilian were excited, but all construction industry personnel and companies from surrounding states and cities also rushed to Ilian to attract some business, and the whole city became unexpectedly lively.
"I'm afraid there won't be a winter break this year." The mayor said with a smile while sitting at a table by the window of a restaurant and looking at the surging crowds on the street.
Before Scott realized what the mayor meant, Dulin had already reacted, "It's true. There are more than 200,000 construction workers working in the Eighth District, and there are hundreds of them." About ten percent belong to the management, and these managers will not work hard on the construction site all day long like the workers. They will come to the city to spend money as long as conditions permit. "
“With so many continuous consumer groups, there is no need to consider the winter break within three years.”
Only then did Scott realize that this was what he was talking about. Even if the foreign capital used local labor in the construction of District 8, it is impossible for even the management to use local people. As long as these management teams exist, they will continue to add vitality to Ilian's tourism market. Originally, the period from the end of autumn to the beginning of winter to the beginning of spring was the off-season for tourism, but these people were able to help Ilian survive these difficult four or five months, and the winter break naturally ceased to exist.
The three of them are able to sit here and eat mainly because of Du Lin's recent active expansion of his business. The mayor has heard that Du Lin has had contact with people from the George family and discussed cooperation matters. George The family has not given a clear answer of "no", and is still discussing and debating whether to make a final decision or not. With such a thing, the mayor needs to pay attention to Dulin. Once Dulin and the George family really become partners, it means that the Ilian region will also have a trust in a certain industry. Powerful super rich man.
This is definitely the most eye-catching achievement of the Mayor during his tenure, and it will bring huge benefits to his promotion. His political mentor even told him in the exchange last night that if necessary, he can use the help of people within the party. Strength, give me a push on this matter. Once the matter is done, Dulin will remember his benefits, and he will have a very powerful ally when he rises in the new party in the future.
So today, the mayor used Scott's mouth to invite Dulin for a meal, to connect and bond, and to lay a solid foundation for the next step.
The Lord Mayor could only sigh in his heart at Du Lin's extraordinarily quick response. Every successful person is definitely not a coincidence, nor is it guided by fate as Juan said. They all have an extraordinary side. . Either decisive or wise, mediocre people may have temporary wealth, but they will never be rich in a lifetime.
"I heard that you want to recruit 10,000 workers?" The mayor cut off a corner of the steak and inserted a silver fork into the mouth of the steak. "Why only Guartes? You may not have noticed that there are already people. Come to me and file a complaint, saying you are racist."
The word racial discrimination is indeed a big killer in the world in Dulin's dream. Anyone who encounters this word in any situation must avoid it. But the deterrent power of racial discrimination in this world is not enough to make people afraid of it. Ever since the provincial people first shouted out this word, this word has become a trick for the provincial people to entertain themselves. They abused this word towards people or things that did not suit their liking, so much so that they were even featured in "Empire" Words on magazine covers are now a waste of time.
Dulin shrugged his shoulders, took out a cigarette and lit it. He swung the hand holding the cigarette, "If they think so, then I can also admit that I am racist. How much do I need to pay?" Fine? Fifty? Or a hundred?”
The mayor chuckled and shook his head, "This has nothing to do with fines. You have to know that Ilian's most important policy is to maintain local stability and ensure good public security. Obviously someone wants to use this incident to cause trouble. If you can’t hold it down, let the city hall come forward, neither I nor you will look good!”
