Zhao Lin had no idea what they were up to, so he took the document tentatively and read it carefully.
There were neat Song-style characters on it, exactly the same as on Green Star, without any difference. This gave him a very strange feeling.
But he still focused on the matter and read it carefully.
This is an application to abandon a depleted mine, which means that the mine in this place is about to be mined out and there is no need to invest more, so all equipment and personnel must be evacuated.
This seems to be an easy matter, just evacuate the people.
But the subsequent problems are very troublesome. Whether to ship the equipment or not, the shipping cost is more valuable than the equipment itself.
As for the workers, how will they be arranged in the future? Should they be dismissed right away? Or arranged to other mines?
But other factories also have one person per job and cannot accommodate more people.
If they are dismissed like this, how will the workers' food problem be solved? If they can't earn money, they will have nothing to eat. Should they all starve to death?
But the company doesn’t have enough budget to keep supporting them. How can we solve this problem?
This problem is actually easy to solve. Just disband the team and blow up the equipment. If the workers make trouble, send troops to suppress it. The company has always done this.
Because it is simple, it is used to test Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin thought carefully for a moment, then said: "I think we should continue digging. We can cut the wages in half, and we should be able to make ends meet."
Xu Yuanyao laughed and said, "There's nothing left to dig out here. It would be a complete waste to continue investing. We might as well just blow up the equipment and fire all the workers like before and put an end to it all!"
Zhao Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Yuanyao carefully.
She is good-looking and has a charming figure, but how could she be so cruel?
"If we fire all the workers, there are hundreds of thousands of them. How much compensation do we need? This money can support the operation of the mine for decades!" Zhao Lin was unhappy.
"Dismissal compensation?"
Hai Luo and Xu Yuanyao were both stunned. "Why should we give compensation? We have never given any."
"If you don't give them compensation, won't the workers make trouble?" Now it was Zhao Lin's turn to be surprised.
"Let them make trouble. If they make trouble, we will send troops to suppress them. As long as the warships arrive, they will have to obey obediently."
“…”
"Don't tell me you have always done this." Zhao Lin's voice gradually became colder.
"Is there anything wrong? They are just the lowest-level workers. How much trouble can they cause? What is there to worry about?" He Luo asked in surprise.
Zhao Lin finally understood. He should have thought of it a long time ago.
This is the world of companies and capitalists.
Which capitalist would seek welfare for the workers? Now that they have guns, cannons and armies, it is impossible for workers to protect their rights.
"I'm curious, if we fire all these workers, what will happen if a new mineral source is discovered? Will they still come if we find them?"
"Yes!"
"They have no jobs, so they are eager to sign up. By then, the old ones who are supposed to starve to death will have starved to death, and there will be strong and skilled workers left. They can bring some newcomers here, and we won't have to pay so much. Why not?"
He Luo smiled with great pride.
This method took them a long time to figure out, and it is simply the most cost-effective method.
Zhao Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is the evil capitalist.
These workers are nominally workers, but in reality they are slaves who can be abandoned at any time. They are so obedient. Don’t they want to rebel under such cruel exploitation? !
Zhao Lin asked his own question.
"Of course!"
Hai Luo said as a matter of course: "Look at these documents, these are all rebels, and some have directly become star pirates, but they will soon be wiped out by our fleet. However, these are all military matters and have nothing to do with us."
"What an idiot!" Zhao Lin couldn't help but curse.
"What did you say?" He Luo's face changed drastically. No one had ever dared to call her an idiot.
"Aren't you idiots? Mobilizing the army doesn't cost money?" Zhao Lin asked with a sneer.
"Of course it costs money. That's a huge fleet, and the cost of each exercise is astronomical, not to mention the rebellion suppression. But that's the military's business. What does it have to do with me?" He Luo said as a matter of course.
"Can I ask about your company's financial situation?" Zhao Lin asked contemptuously.
"This is our secret..."
"Well, since it's confidential, I won't ask. But if you want to ask for my opinion, my opinion is to keep the mine and keep these workers. If there is no work, pay them half of their salary. All mining equipment should also be kept."
“But what should we do with this extra budget?”
"I just can't believe that such a big company can't even come up with such a small amount of money." Zhao Lin asked back.
"Of course I can take it out, but tell me what's the point of it?" Xu Yuanyao asked with an unhappy look on his face.
"Then why don't you follow my advice? What do you need me for?" Zhao Lin threw the document away and turned away without paying any attention.
"Hey...what's your attitude..." Xu Yuanyao was furious. This newcomer was too arrogant.
He Luo pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it as you wish. I want to see what the difference will be!"
"Vice President……"
"Shut up, I've already made my decision!"
