Chapter 946 Remuneration Issue

Roland closed the book and let out a sigh of relief.

The arrival of a large number of witches from Sleeping Island will undoubtedly inject immeasurable vitality into the industrial manufacturing of Neverwinter City, but... there are also several thorny problems before him.

The biggest one is the remuneration issue.

They are affiliated with Maleficent and are in principle led by Tilly. Whether they are willing to accept employment depends on their personal wishes. Although Tilly's attitude towards him has changed greatly, Roland felt that he really couldn't say anything to ask him to withdraw his previous promise and use his relationship to drive the witch.

In other words, the job plan in the book is just his personal plan. How much it can really be realized depends on how many witches in Maleficent are willing to join the production wave.

Talking to them about slogans such as "labor is the most glorious" and "labor changes destiny" will definitely have little effect, and statements such as "for home" are even less meaningful. For them, a place that can be called home I'm afraid there is only one place called Sleeping Island.

Roland believed that as long as he lived there for a few years, anyone would fall in love with this city and regard it as their own, but that was not the case now - it was normal for newcomers to be subconsciously wary and apprehensive about unfamiliar places. For example, he cannot wait until a few years later to develop industry, so in the end it still depends on the remuneration.

In short, there must be a desire to drive them to work.

He had previously asked Tilly about the bounty services provided by witches to fjord merchants or explorers on Sleeping Island. The prices were quite expensive, and most of them ranged from dozens to hundreds of gold dragons. Although the money was used by Tilly to purchase basic living necessities, the witches still followed the original quota distribution and lived in poverty, but this did not mean that they had never seen money.

What's more, 30% of the gold dragons earned from the Chaos Drink trade now belong to Tili, so it is foreseeable that a small part will be used to improve the living standards of her companions. In other words, even if the witch does not work, she will not starve to death, and her life will even be much better than on the island.

So relying on a few golden dragons alone may not work.

And they are not afraid of low remuneration, but afraid of comparison - most of the salaries of the Witch Union are between one and three gold dragons, so why should they offer higher wages to outsiders? Even if the salary of the latter is increased, it will easily lead to criticism: it has not changed much in almost two years, and the salary of the Witch of Sleeping Island has increased as soon as he came. Does it mean that the salary of the old man must be improved by the newcomer?

Even if the alliance members would not say this, Roland was unwilling to do so.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Nightingale, who was lying on the recliner and reading comic books.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, Nightingale turned slightly sideways and asked, "What's wrong?"

A perfect curve.

No, now is not the time to think about this. Roland cleared his throat and asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Two years and eleven months plus twenty-six days," Nightingale sat up straight, "Why do you ask?"

So precise?

"I remember you were given a monthly salary of two gold dragons at the beginning, right?"

"Ah, at that time," she showed a smile that didn't mean anything. "Yes, twice as many as Anna, and I refused. Later, it was your repeated pleas that made me reluctantly agree to be your personal guard."

There is no need to plead. It was obviously you who decided to stay after you saw Anna spend her adulthood safely, went back to try to dissuade Hakara, and then had a complete falling out! Roland rolled his eyes secretly, "In these years, have you ever felt that your contribution--0---0---little--said---this is a gorgeous dividing line--let go of that A reminder to netizens of Witch 00 novels: please pay attention to resting your eyes when reading for a long time. Recommended reading of 00 novels: Superstar Grandmaster-0--0---Little--Said---This is the gorgeous dividing line---and failure to gain Proportional, and have you considered leaving?”

"What do you want to say?" The smile on Nightingale's face suddenly froze, replaced by a hint of panic, "Why should I...leave?"

"No, it's just a metaphor." Roland immediately realized that this sentence could easily cause ambiguity and quickly changed his words, "The focus is on the first half of the sentence. Is there any witch who thinks the salary is too low?"

After confirming that he was serious, Nightingale seemed relieved and appeared in front of his desk, "How is it possible? One golden dragon is already half a year's income for ordinary people. We are not working harder than those workers, so naturally we can't talk about it. It’s not directly proportional. Besides, even if you have a sum of money, you don’t know where to use it – after all, you don’t have to worry about food and clothing. Such a life is already a life that you couldn’t even imagine in the past.”

"Perhaps not every witch thinks so..."

"That's weird! If you don't believe me, you can ask Wendy," Nightingale said confidently, "She knows much more about the sisters than I do."

"That's fine," Roland shrugged. "It just so happens that we also need her opinion on this matter."

"What's the matter?" she asked curiously.

"It's a secret, but you'll know it soon." Roland smiled slightly.

…

"Your Majesty, I have never thought of it this way!" After Wendy arrived, she didn't expect her reaction to be even more intense. "Even if you don't pay me, I still want to build this place - I once said that Neverwinter City will It is the new holy mountain of witches, and the other sisters also serve you with the same expectations! If the city hall is short of money, I am willing to give you all the golden dragons I have saved. "

"Uh... Okay, I'm just collecting my opinions." Roland suddenly felt a little moved. He touched his nose and turned his head, "Then is there anything in particular you want?"

"This..." Wendy was stunned for a moment, but Nightingale had already blinked at her rapidly. "If I have to say, I think...well...maybe...it would be nice if there was one more bottle of Chaos Drink every month..."

"You too?" Roland looked at Nightingale.

"Are you playing a wishing game?" the latter chuckled, "Since you are just saying it casually, I think two bottles would be better."

Sure enough, he already had a general framework in mind for the reform of witches' remuneration.

If there is anything more valuable than money, it is something that money cannot buy. Although many witches patronize Evelin's Baiwei Wine House, the high price will deter most people and choose cheaper fruit wine instead - it's not that they can't afford it at all, but their consumption philosophy will prevent them from using it. A lot of golden dragons were invested in such luxury goods.

What's more, the chaos drinks sold in the wine shop are all old varieties. The low sales volume makes it difficult to replace the inventory, and the freshness is not as good as the new products released every month.

What if the Chaos Drink, originally a perk, was turned into a special purchase item?

It can be called a points system or a dual-currency system. Through work, you can obtain rewards exclusive to witches, and then use these rewards to exchange for things that golden dragons cannot buy. Doesn’t the work itself have an appeal? At the same time, it also avoids the sense of gap caused by increasing salary.

In addition, the special purchases are not limited to chaos drinks. He has countless ideas in his mind to ensure that they will not be imitated by others if they are attractive enough. There is really no one other than this one. Searching.

Want to get them? Come and work hard!
