Chapter 22 Salary

The workers in the bloody city are the best workers and the worst workers. m*/.//*

They are physically strong, skilled in technology, and have extraordinary physical strength. One person can be used by ten people.

They work hard and can work 24 hours a day.

Their prices are cheap. Compared to what they paid, their wages are simply too cheap. Although the overtime pay is three times higher, it is only counted as extra working hours. That is to say, the sixteen hours other than eight hours are counted as three times.

They are versatile and can engage in various jobs, and they will be able to do whatever they are assigned to. If you give them battleships, they can even go up and drive battleships, and they are no worse than those professional soldiers you have trained.

They were brave and fearless, and dared to go up and fight even in the face of bugs. Although their combat effectiveness was a bit weak, the bug that broke into the air-raid shelter was killed by a group of workers with welding torches.

but!

If you dare not pay a salary, then you will see the other side of them.

These workers will immediately turn into mobs, smashing and looting everything they have built.

Don't think about defaulting on debts. For workers, in these days when today is uncertain of tomorrow, defaulting on debts is equivalent to defaulting on debts.

Don't even think about posting half and dragging half, the workers here even have a fucking union!

The only reason for their existence is to ask for a bill when the time comes, and it won't work if it's delayed for a minute, and it won't work if there is one less person!

Don't even think about killing them all.

In that case, you will no longer be able to recruit any workers from anywhere!

There are not a few workers who have been tossed out of the base because of calculation errors and unable to pay salaries.

So, when Shen Yi held the bill and looked at the smiling face of the trade union chairman, even he started to tremble.

Since entering the city, he has never seen anyone tremble.

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

The young union chairman bowed to Shen Yi: "I'm very sure, General. Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-three people, including twenty senior engineering managers, need to pay a total of 135,650 alliance currency. In addition, you also need An extra 203475 alliance currency for last month's overtime pay,

You need to pay a total of 339,125 alliance currency. By the way, this does not include the cost of the more than 300 soldiers. They will find you in addition. "

Light workers are 339,000 points!

The overtime salary alone is 200,000 points!

Why, I don't remember asking them to work so much overtime! ! !

Well, the overtime pay was three times the working hours, Shen Yi realized that he had forgotten this.

Capitalists habitually forget everything that needs to be paid.

But facing this bill, Shen Yi was going to go crazy.

It has only been three days since the ten energy converters were put into full operation, and the previous income has been used to make up for the construction consumption. And in three days, only 20 energy beads were produced in total - the overlapping of the radiation areas would inevitably reduce the efficiency of the energy converters, and ten sets was already the upper limit of the core base.

In other words, he is still close to 140,000 points away!

This is not counting the salaries of those soldiers!

Three hundred and twelve people, including two senior military officers, are 316 points. Fortunately, they do not have overtime pay, but they have *** pensions. Fortunately, the pensions can be owed...

In other words, he still has a difference of 170,000 points!

"Can't you delay the payment?" Shen Yi asked. ankanshu

The chairman of the trade union, who was still smiling at Mimi just now, immediately changed his face and became ferocious: "Even if you are a general, you can't owe the blood and sweat of our laborers! Our fearless workers' union will not accept this condition! If today If you don't pay all dues by 12pm, we won't be working for you anymore. If you can't even pay overtime, we'll tear down everything we've worked so hard to build! And I also Just to remind you, only the first month, you can default on overtime pay, and from the next month onwards, all overtime pay must be paid immediately!"

In the rage of being owed wages, he doesn't even call you by name.

Shen Yi took a deep breath.

Damn, now even the general dare not be presumptuous to him, a worker actually roared at himself, threatening himself!

The problem is that he still has to endure it!

"So...well, I can pay all the overtime first, and then I'll look at the rest of the money and decide to hire a few workers."

Hearing this, the union chairman's face obviously improved: "If your funds are insufficient, you can choose to temporarily dismiss some of them and hire us again at any time, but for the convenience of accounting, our salary time is uniform, from The first paycheck starts counting, and there is no discount. That is, if you recruit union workers a few days later, the salary will not be reduced, and the next payday will still be the same as everyone else."

Shen Yi took another breath, nodded his head: "I see, it's okay."

All he can say is it's okay.

So the union chairman smiled sweeter: "In addition, I want to remind you, General. We have been working for you for the past month, and your living conditions have been very bad. Of course, we can understand your difficulty. So we endured it. Now that the base construction has been completed, the general also needs to consider the living needs of the workers. In the next month, you must build a living area for us with a per capita living area of ​​no less than 100 square meters. We cannot Then live in a tent. Of course, we still build it, but you are still responsible for the wages and basic materials. There is also a garbage disposal center, and the garbage dumps at the base are almost becoming mountains."

"...Is there any more?" Shen Yi asked helplessly.

"There will be no more for the time being, but with the development of the base, the needs of the workers will also increase. I suggest that you take more needs into consideration in the next planning. If you are willing to provide me with a little consulting fee, I will I can tell you that for the next eleven months, the workers will need your increased services every month."

"How much?"

"Ten thousand yuan is enough."

Fuck your sister, that's a month's wages for two workers!

Greedy guy! Shen Yi almost cried out.

But he obediently paid for it.

I've never been so frustrated.

Sure enough, with the development and construction of the base, the requirements of the workers will gradually increase, from the most basic being able to tolerate everything, to the need for more and more living conditions in the future.

Better food processing plants, supporting living needs, as well as light industry and commercial development, etc., workers will put forward more demands every month until you get out.

As is the case with the workers, so with those recruited soldiers, all need adequate living conditions to develop.

If you don't meet these conditions, the workers won't strike or riot/riot, but they will be passive, work efficiency will be greatly reduced, and trouble you from time to time.

What could have been accomplished by ten workers will be developed by twenty workers.

Their work attitude and efficiency will decline from super workers to the level of Chinese workers, and continue to decline to European and American workers, African workers, and finally Indian workers.

As for the shops, the workers will not do them, but the bases can be opened to allow Star Alliance merchants to come and do business.

They don't have to pay salaries, but they can pay some taxes for the base. Just renting or selling houses can make the base earn a fortune.

From this point of view, the development of the living conditions of base workers is not actually a serious constraint, but can further increase income and reduce expenditures. However, the demand for early-stage funds is too great, and the existence of adventurers in the simulated world is limited. It is difficult for ordinary adventurers to enjoy the benefits in time.

Although the construction of the base has been completed, workers are still needed for the function of the building to function. Workers are always needed at any time, but the types of work are different, so Shen Yi can only accept it.

Not only must we accept it, but we must also try our best to meet the needs of workers when conditions permit.

If the commercial development inside the base can flourish earlier, some profits can be recovered in time, otherwise, it will be forced to build a commercial street when it is time to leave, and the tax will not be collected in time, then it will be built purely to meet the needs of workers.

But Shen Yi doesn't need to think about these things now - he has to settle the overtime wages first.

Fortunately, everyone planned to save money to buy skills before, so they didn't spend the money. Fortunately, Shen Yi didn't completely forget to pay wages - he just forgot overtime pay.

So he finally had the money to pay off his debts.

But after paying the 200,000 overtime pay, Shen Yi has become a complete pauper.

He doesn't even have the money to keep hiring workers, and he can't work without a worker energy converter.

I had to borrow another 100,000 from Meryl.

This time, Meryl was rude and declared that the interest would be 5,000 per day.

The interest rate is too harsh, but Shen Yi knows that Meryl cannot be blamed for this. The Purgatory Angel Base is also extremely thirsty for funds. Without this benefit, they really can't lend it out. After all, the base is not in charge of Meryl alone.

Besides, he is not a good person, and he knows how to settle accounts for the base he has laid.

But it's okay, when you beg me, hum.

The money was only enough to hire 2,000 workers. After much calculation, Shen Yi finally chose to keep 15 workers and 250 soldiers, but those few senior soldiers and senior workers stayed.

Shen Yi didn't dare to waste time, 1,500 workers were directly put into the operation of the energy converter after being rehired, and the proceeds of the next two days were paid back quickly, and then the dismissed workers and soldiers were recruited back , and made up the difference between 3,000 workers and 500 soldiers.

Finally, the Zerg gave face and did not come to attack.

However, in this way, plans to add new energy converters, new factories, new construction, and the production of armed forces were directly delayed for a few days.

These are critical days.

Because this is the time when the base is most developed, but also the weakest.

In the past month, all the development was infrastructure. Although the factory was established, it did not have time to produce.

Production requires workers and points.

And he didn't have the money to build it all, let alone the planned six satellite bases.

According to the law, the next round of Zerg offensive is imminent, so it is still a big test for the base.

The difference from the last round is that this time the base has a defensive canopy, and the defense is stronger, but the same, the base can't stand the toss - if the Zerg is allowed to break through and enter, the loss will be even greater.

For this reason, Shen Yi had to pray that the Zerg would come later.

But the fact is that on the fourth day of the second month, the Zerg really came again.

At this time, Shen Yi has used the resources of the day to create some troops, but the number is limited. Although the overall strength of the base has improved compared to last time, the problem is that the attacking Zerg this time seems to be stronger than before — Copernicus reported, This time around seventy broods came.

This news left Shen Yi speechless.

But soon, he got another piece of good news.

That is, this time the Zerg didn't attack him with a quarter of their forces.

After completing the initial construction, the Zerg no longer regarded the base of the Broken Blade team as a new base, but a base with formal defense capabilities.

After all, the Zerg can only obtain information through external observation, and it is impossible to know the situation inside the base.

The empty shells of the Broken Blade team deceived the Zerg, so that they no longer became the main target, and the new main target became the two ** bases exploited by Shen Yi - they found that it was easier than the Broken Blade base Attacked base.

In this way, under the blessing of good luck, the second battle of the Broken Blade team against the Zerg was unexpectedly smooth. Under the protection of the wall and the energy sky, facing the attack of the same five insect nests, Broken Blade The team defended this wave.

However, some advanced units of the Zerg also appeared in this wave of battles.

A team of mammoth beasts once seen in the wilderness broke through the wall at the last moment, broke into the base, and wreak havoc.

Although it was eventually wiped out by the joint efforts of the Broken Blade team, some losses were still suffered inside the base, but the losses were not too large, within the range that everyone could bear.

The real unlucky ones were those two military bases.

When the Zerg were retreating, Shen Yi saw raging fireworks burning above the two bases.

He knew that the base was completely finished.

Just don't know if those adventurers are still alive.

If they still have the resources, there may be hope for a comeback.

But if not, then they can only go to the wilderness to earn some income, and then come back, further wasting precious time.

If the task of killing the advanced brood is not completed until the end of the task, all that awaits them is the fate of obliteration.

This is war!
