daytime.
Su Tianbei, Su Tiannan and Kong Zhenghui selected more than 30 relatively experienced workers and followed Liu Xiaohai to the Baolong Group's mining base on the outskirts of the city.
The Laomo area is mountainous and rich in mining resources, and the Baolong Group is a well-known large enterprise in Longcheng, so the approval documents and land it obtained are relatively high-quality.
The mining area that Su Tiannan and others came to was on the east side of Longcheng and covered a large area. When they entered the construction area, they looked at the fenced construction area and could not see the end. It was not too far from Qiushan Temple and they could see it across the mountain.
The simple construction building in the work area has been almost completed, with rows of small colored steel houses that can accommodate at least several thousand people. The compound is also very lively, with many new workers being assigned dormitories, and various vehicles with mining licenses are also shuttling back and forth.
Su Tiannan, Kong Zhenghui and their gang are not very old. They have never experienced mining before and don't know much about this industry. To be on the safe side, they found experienced old workers in the association to come and take a look at the job.
"Da Ming!"
In the yard, Liu Xiaohai stood next to the car and shouted with a big belly.
Not far away, a young man heard the shout and turned around, then walked over quickly: "Brother Liu!"
"Brother, these are workers from the Tongji Association. They want to see the work area and see what the work is about." Liu Xiaohai handed him a cigarette and said with a smile, "Take them around."
"Okay." The young man nodded and said to the workers, "Come with me."
"Uncle Jiu, you go with this brother and take a good look." Su Tiannan instructed his old worker.
"good!"
After saying this, a group of workers followed the guide to the work area deeper in the mining area.
"Let's go, let's find a place to sit for a while. I'll take you to meet the people from Baolong Company." Liu Xiaohai greeted everyone and turned to run towards the office building on the left side of the courtyard.
…
About ten minutes later, on the third floor of the office building, Su Tiannan just bent down and sat down when he saw several familiar faces. They were all from Changqing Company. Some had worked with Li Hongze and some with Lu Feng.
Su Tianbei grinned and whispered to Liu Xiaohai, "A lot of people from Changqing have come too?"
"This is a big job. There are more than 10,000 people working in four work areas." Liu Xiaohai chuckled and replied, "Not only them, but also people from the Shanghai Association and the Dock Workers' Union have come."
"Yes, this job looks quite big." Su Tianbei nodded.
"Are all the workers recruited Chinese?" Su Tiannan asked casually.
"Of course." Liu Xiaohai took out his cigarette box and posted on social media: "There are no outsiders here, so we can say whatever we want. In District 1, for any big project, none of the low-level jobs are done by indigenous people. If you are a white person with a local household registration in District 1, you get 40 yuan an hour for digging a sewer. What about our compatriots? 40 yuan a day! The difference in status means the price difference is too big."
Su Tiannan nodded slowly without saying anything.
"This job is hard, but the pay is good." Liu Xiaohai smoked a cigarette, patted Su Tianbei's thigh and said, "The work period is over, and you can marry three wives by the end of the year, haha!"
Su Tianbei grinned: "Yes, the price is indeed good."
After a group of leaders sat on the sofa and chatted for about twenty minutes, a woman in her thirties wearing work clothes came over with four or five people.
"Mr. Liu!" the woman called out.
"Hey, Manager Zhang!" Liu Xiaohai stood up and shook hands with the other party. "Come, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Fang, the HR manager of our first work area project team. These are my friends, Su Tiannan, the vice president of Tongji Club, and... "
Everyone stood up, shook hands with each other, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then sat down again.
Although Manager Zhang is a woman, she is very direct in her work. She took out a series of written contracts from her file bag, including a contract template and a worker protection template.
Kong Zhenghui and Su Tiannan took it and looked at it carefully.
After Manager Zhang handed over the things, he said to Liu Xiaohai: "You guys look first, I'll go talk to the side, there are a lot of people waiting."
"Haha, you are busy!" Liu Xiaohai nodded with a smile.
After Manager Zhang left, Liu Xiaohai looked at the man's big butt and commented, "What a nice butt."
"Haha." Su Tianbei grinned: "Brother, you haven't changed your hobby yet."
"What's the point of changing? Why do we make money? Isn't it to make ourselves and others happy?" Liu Xiaohai's answer was very classic.
…
About half an hour later, all the workers who had visited the work area returned, and most of them stood in the yard waiting, while Jiushu came upstairs and said to Su Tiannan: "I'm done."
"How is it?!" Su Tiannan asked.
"It's quite hard work. We have to go into the mines, break tunnels, and manage equipment. We work at least twelve hours a day." Uncle Jiu sighed and said, "But if we get the money, we can do it. The work itself does not have any technical threshold. We old men will each lead a group and we can teach everyone in two days at most."
"Okay, then you go downstairs first and we'll talk to the other party." Su Tiannan trusted the other party's judgment very much.
"Okay." Uncle Jiu turned and left.
On the sofa, Su Tiannan put down the documents in his hand and said softly to Liu Xiaohai: "I took a look. There are no problems with the total project settlement amount, payment method, and deposit amount, but there are a few details on the workers' side that are vague."
"What's vague?" Liu Xiaohai asked.
"How do we pay for the special work insurance and accident insurance for the workers? Does Baolong Group pay for it, or do we pay for it ourselves?" Su Tiannan asked in succession: "We also need the workers' mining qualification certificates. Do they need to be assessed? When can the certificates be issued? This must be discussed in advance, because if the workers don't have certificates, then if something goes wrong, there will be no protection at all."
"Haha, you observe very carefully." Liu Xiaohai replied with a smile.
"We are in the association, so we are definitely concerned about this matter." Su Tiannan replied softly: "Making money is a small matter, now it's about gathering people."
My eldest brother has always been calm and steady in his work, and he has been working in the sanitation field with his family workers for many years, so he considers things very carefully.
After listening to Su Tiannan's words, Liu Xiaohai immediately stood up and said in a very chivalrous manner: "It's okay. If you have any problem, I can help you. Wait, I'll go ask."
In this way, a group of people worked in the work area until evening.
…
District 1, New York City.
Su Tianyu felt a little disappointed because An Qiqi hadn't called him since she was taken back last night.
This reaction made Su Tianyu feel that the relationship between him and her was about to encounter a crisis. Could it be that her mother had some objections, or did she not agree with An Qiqi playing with this group of people? !
When Su Tianyu thought about this, he even lost the desire to go to the beach for vacation, because the main reason he came to New York was to date Xiao An...
"Ding-ling-ling!" The phone suddenly rang. Su Tianyu saw that the note was An Qiqi and immediately picked up the phone.
"My mother asked you to come home for dinner." An Qiqi's clear voice came from the phone.
"What the hell!" Gou Liuzi got so excited that he jumped up.
