The carriage carried Steele, Mia and Liz from the east gate of Bonta City to the lower reaches of the Sandy River not far east of the old city of Bonta City.
When the Sandy River stopped at the newly built dock near the entrance of the Sanlang Canal, you could see that in addition to dozens of human workers on the dock, there was also a group of about a hundred orcs with different appearances. clan.
Seeing the carriage approaching, President Porter, the leader of the human side, and a tiger orc who seemed to be the leader of the orc tribe came forward to greet them.
Steele got out of the carriage with Liz's help. President Potter glanced at her belly and quickly said apologetically: "Madam, I'm really sorry that you have to go out in this kind of weather." It’s really hard work.”
"Nothing." Steele waved his hand with a smile and turned to look at the tiger orc. "Lorkhan, are all your people here?"
The tiger orc opened his mouth and said, "Everyone is here. Look, they are all waiting there."
Steele's eyes swept over the orcs, read the header with satisfaction, and then asked President Potter: "President Potter, have you inspected these orcs? Do you think they are qualified?"
President Porter read the words with a smile on his face: "Satisfied, very satisfied. Our fleet only needs to be strong enough and physically strong enough. They are just right."
Steele turned to Lockhan and asked: "What about you, are you satisfied with the treatment conditions and work proposed by the Potter Chamber of Commerce?"
Lockhan read the words as hard as pounding garlic: "Yeah, we are also very satisfied. Brothers have said that working here is much better than at home."
"Okay. Since both of you have no objections, let's start signing the employment contract. I will serve as a witness." Steele said.
"good."
"good."
President Potter and Lockhane agreed in unison, and walked to a small cabin next to the pier to prepare to sign the contract.
In fact, they have already agreed on everything with each other, but because this is the first time in Bangta City and the Lampali Kingdom that other chambers of commerce have hired orc workers, they need the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, the only one with aliens. The chamber of commerce that certifies labor qualifications will come as a witness.
It actually made no difference whether Steele came or not, but given the first time this had happened. Still, Steele came in person.
"Madam, it's very windy and cold by the river, why don't you go inside?" Liz reminded her in a low voice.
Steele shook his head, walked up to the group of orcs, and looked at them one by one.
These orcs were similar to the orcs she had come into contact with before. They were all dressed in rags, and some even didn't even have a complete set of clothes, leaving large areas of skin exposed.
Although the physique of the orcs is much stronger than that of ordinary humans, many orcs are still shivering from the cold at this time. His face was ugly.
Among them, there are two teenagers from the Fox tribe and the Rabbit tribe who are slightly weaker in physique and have extremely immature faces. Their faces are full of blue. It looked as if he would pass out from the cold at any moment.
Steele couldn't help but frowned, turned around and called Mia over.
"Let's arrange a place for them to live first. Don't let them stand here and freeze for a while. Then they can't even do their work." Steele explained.
Mia was a little embarrassed: "They are not official workers of our chamber of commerce yet, so it is not easy to arrange..."
"It won't be for a while." Steele glared at her. "Let's arrange it first. In addition, it would be better to give each of them a set of clothes first."
Mia was even more hesitant: "One set of clothes for each person... That costs a lot of money... Our chamber of commerce has just reopened, and money is already tight..."
Steele was a little angry: "How many gold coins is a set of clothes for each person worth? If you are afraid of spending additional money, just give this set of clothes to them as work clothes, and then deduct it from their new clothes in the future?" If you are worried about spending too much, then go to Armani Chamber of Commerce to buy it and let Armani Chamber of Commerce provide you with a batch at a low price.”
Seeing that Steele's tone was a bit harsh, Mia didn't dare to have any thoughts of rebuttal and quickly agreed.
After calculating in her mind, a hint of joy appeared on her face.
Now that Miss Steele has said this, she will definitely buy a batch of clothes at extremely low prices as long as she goes to the Armani Chamber of Commerce.
Then she would deduct the clothes distributed to the orc workers from their salaries according to the market price in the future. Wouldn't it be a small profit instead
Naturally, the joy on Mia's face couldn't be hidden from Steele. After thinking about it, she understood Mia's inner thoughts, and she was suddenly angry and a little funny.
President Porter is obviously very generous and far-sighted, and is called a promising businessman by Xu Yi. Why did he marry such a stingy, calculating, and half-reading wife
It was clear that just one set of clothes could win over the hearts of these orc workers, but she was still thinking about it.
It would be strange if President Potter didn't get angry to death if he knew what she was thinking.
Thinking of this, Steele was suddenly startled.
Have you ever shown the same attitude when doing something without realizing it
If she were like Mia, Xu Yi would definitely be extremely disgusted.
What's more, even if Xu Yi is not disgusted, she absolutely cannot accept herself becoming such a woman.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Steele waved his hand, signaling Mia to immediately arrange for the placement of the orc workers.
Not long after, President Potter and Lockhane walked out again.
Steele took the two copies of the employment contract handed over to him and read it carefully. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he took out his personal seal, stamped it on it, and handed it back to the two of them.
After taking over the contract, President Potter and Lorkhan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
President Potter took the initiative to extend his hand to Lockhan: "Lockhan, from now on, our Chamber of Commerce's fleet will depend on you and the orc brothers for your help."
Lockhan cracked his mouth and laughed: "Don't worry, we orcs are all on the same page. If the contract is signed, we will definitely work hard."
Although the two chatted happily and the atmosphere was lively, Steele poured cold water on both of them.
"President Potter, as an employer, if Lorkhan and other orcs violate the employment contract, you have the right to fire them. However, it should be noted that since the contract has been signed, you must treat them as Ordinary human workers are treated the same, there can be no discrimination.”
"Absolutely, Madam, please rest assured." President Porter read with a smile.
"Lorkhan, since you and the other orcs have accepted the employment contract, you must strictly abide by the provisions of the contract and work conscientiously without making mistakes. If you are fired by the Potter Chamber of Commerce for violating the contract, then according to the regulations, Depending on the seriousness of the case, your labor certificate may be revoked and you may not apply for a labor certificate again within two to five years, so please cherish this job opportunity.”
Lockhan clapped his chest hard and said loudly: "We orcs will never go back on our word, and we will definitely do whatever we promise!"
"Okay." Steele read the first chapter and said to President Potter: "Okay, my work is done, and I will go back to rest first. If you have any questions about the orcs' employees in the future, you are welcome to Potter. President, please continue to contact our Crescent Chamber of Commerce."
President Potter quickly stopped Steele who was about to leave and said sincerely: "Madam, there is one more thing I need you to do me a favor with."
Steele looked at him quizzically.
Why didn't this guy say anything else before
President Potter smiled slightly awkwardly and asked Mia to continue arranging things for the orc workers, while he led Steele to a sealed hut on the other side of the dock.
This hut was built on the edge of the pier close to the river, and a shed was built just on the river.
After entering the hut, you can see three small boats floating on the covered water.
Steele glanced at the three boats, and then at President Potter with a flattering smile in front of him. His heart moved, and he roughly understood what was going on.
But on the surface, she remained silent, just kept smiling, waiting for President Potter to speak.
President Potter was silent for a moment, rubbed his hands, and asked with some embarrassment: "Madam, I heard... the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seems to be developing a new type of magic machine called a magic ship?"
As expected.
Steele smiled slightly: "You are still very well informed. Is it because Xu Yi mentioned it to you before?"
"President Xu mentioned this idea to me before, but I know that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has only recently made research and development actions in this area. Madam, do you know about this magic ship... What is the current development progress? When can it be actually developed? Come out and can it be officially sold and used?"
Steele shook his head slightly: "I only know that the Magic Research Institute did have this research and development project during this time, but the progress of the research and development... I don't know clearly. And even if it is clear, I'm afraid it's not easy to disclose it to you. You should understand."
"I understand, I understand, is this confidential?" President Potter read the first sentence repeatedly. "But I'm not asking for secrets. The main reason is to... know the news in advance. So that as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can really develop this magic ship, I can buy it as soon as possible."
"There's not even a shadow of this magic ship at the moment, and you just want to buy it?" Steele asked.
"Of course!" President Potter said with extraordinary certainty: "Since it is something developed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the effect is of course very powerful. I am sure that this magic ship will be in short supply like the magic locomotive. I don't want to I will compete with a bunch of people in the future, so I hope... Well, I hope Madam, you can talk to President Xu and let our Chamber of Commerce reserve a few magic ships in advance." (To be continued...)
