Chapter 211 The Consortium’s Despicable Means

After hearing Jian Qianou's words, Lin Lan immediately understood what the old fox meant.

This is because I want him to help clean up the door.

But next month, Qi Yue happened to invite him to Yunhai City.

Lin Lan thought for a moment and looked at Bismarck.

Seeing Bismarck nodding to him, Lin Lan said:

"In that case, I will come to Yunhai City next month."

"I will contact you then."

As the most prosperous big city in the Western Continent, Yunhai City is by sea from his port area, and it takes almost three days to travel in a straight line on a mass-produced destroyer.

After all, with the protection of the Iron-Blooded Fleet, he doesn't need to take a route, just take the shortest route.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Lan looked at the date on his phone. There were still two weeks until next month.

It was already mid-October, and even though the sun was shining outside the office, I could already feel that the weather was getting colder.

Lin Lan has already added an extra piece of clothing to herself.

Almost a year and a half has passed since Lin Lan traveled through time and came to the United States of Oran.

Having experienced winter once, he knew very well that around November, Oran would officially enter winter.

In Oran in winter, whether it is the eastern or western continent, the coasts of many cities in the north will freeze.

This makes it difficult to transport supplies via rivers and oceans.

Many cities in Oran will prepare supplies for winter in advance.

Fortunately, his port area currently has abundant equipment and living supplies, and the iron-blooded floating island fortress beside the port area has begun to take shape.

With the combination of Barbarian Chiew and Muscular Cat, the huge floating island fortress will basically change every day, which can be said to be quite efficient.

After the fortress is repaired, many supplies and equipment can be transferred from the temporary warehouses in the port area to the fortress.

Before he goes to Yunhai City, he will definitely be able to accommodate all the ship girls.

Sometimes he also thinks about whether it is really necessary to build a floating island fortress here since they will have to return to the old port area by then.

But later he also figured out that when he returned to the port area in the future, it would not mean that he would not return to Oran.

The ancient emperor had his own palace. If he wanted to return to Oran again in the future, wouldn't this be an excellent holiday residence.

Anyway, the construction of the floating island fortress does not waste resources and energy.

The material is siren's, the energy is directly converted from ocean energy, and the manpower is provided by his wild chirp and muscle cat.

When he thought about it, he felt relieved.

Bismarck was accompanying him today as the secretary ship, so Lin Lan asked Bismarck out of curiosity:

"Speaking of which, Bismarck, can we communicate with other camps now?"

After all, a long time has passed since the virtual image conversation with the flagship representatives of other camps in the Iron-Blooded Fortress.

Therefore, Lin Lan also wanted to know how the other camps were doing.

"Unfortunately, Commander, the ultra-long-distance communication equipment is difficult to relocate and is currently managed by Frederick. We are currently unable to contact other camps."

Bismarck said solemnly, and also explained the reason:

"That device requires a huge energy supply and requires the cooperation of the command cat, so Commander, we can only restore communications with other camps after Frederick and the others arrive."

After hearing Bismarck's answer, Lin Lan lay down on the chair behind the desk, feeling a little disappointed.

The planned time for Frederick the Great's arrival was also about half a month away.

Everything happens by chance.

Seeing that Lin Lan seemed to be in a low mood, Bismarck got up from the sofa, picked up a cup of hot coffee that she had just brewed on the coffee table, and placed it on Lin Lan's table.

"Commander, don't worry. I contacted other camps from the fortress before coming here, and they are all fine at the moment."

After hearing what Bismarck said, Lin Lan sat up and moved the hot coffee in front of her. Sipping the refreshing aroma of the coffee, she curiously looked at Bismarck in front of her and asked:

"Oh? Then tell me how they are doing lately?"

After Bismarck thought for a moment, he seriously began to recall:

"Commander, let me first talk about the White Eagle camp closest to us."

"When Brynhild and the others went to White Eagle, White Eagle had just conquered the consortium, and they were even cleaning up the remaining senior consortium officials who were resisting."

"Now the consortium has accepted its fate. In Saratoga's words, it has influenced them with the spirit of the beacon of freedom. Many workers of the consortium even took the initiative to build sculptures for them."

Originally, Lin Lan was listening to Bismarck's words, blowing the steam from the hot coffee in her hand, and took a sip into her mouth.

When he heard about the consortium worker who had been influenced by Bai Ying, he immediately stopped and choked on his coffee, causing a lot of it to spill out.

"Ah, Commander, is the coffee I brewed too bitter? Sorry, I'll get you a tissue right away."

Seeing a lot of coffee spilled on Lin Lan's table, Bismarck, who was originally calm, showed panic on his face and wanted to step forward to help.

"It's not about coffee. What did you just say? Say it again?"

Lin Lan suppressed the shock in her heart and waved Bismarck's hand without asking for help.

After taking out the tissue from the table, he wiped his hands and the coffee on the table while looking at Bismarck with shocked eyes.

"Well... Saratoga didn't say the specific situation. According to my guess, it may be because the consortium exploited the workers too hard before."

After hearing Bismarck's analysis, Lin Lan suddenly realized.

This is very possible.

The three major consortiums in the East Continent are the Tianxing Consortium, the Goilia Consortium and the Noah Dexin Consortium.

Except for the Tianxing Consortium, the other two are very typical vampire consortiums.

Whether it is the Goilia Consortium that monopolizes the energy and mining industries of the East Continent, or the Noah Dexin Consortium that has risen with the cheap labor dispatch industry.

These two consortiums are in collusion, making many Orlan people in the East Continent or Liaozhou people who come to work from Liaozhou hate them to the core, but they can't do anything about it.

At that time in the Red Leaf Naval Academy, Lin Lan heard his classmates mention that their families worked in these two consortiums.

In order to earn the most benefits from employees at the lowest cost, these two consortiums can be said to have done everything possible.

First, the shell company of the Noah Dexin Merchants Group recruited a large number of workers with false high salaries and excellent working environment.

After that, these workers will be dispatched by the Noah Dexin Merchants Group to the Goilia Consortium and become so-called "expatriate workers".

Not only is the workload several times higher than what was said during the previous recruitment, but even the wages will be deducted for various reasons.

What makes the workers even more angry is that before the Zhuhai Commercial Association took power, the Orlan United States had regulations that companies must provide formal employees with compensation for work injuries and occupational diseases.

However, after becoming expatriates, when workers suffer from occupational diseases or work injuries and want to ask the Goilia Consortium for compensation...

They will be told that as expatriates, they must ask the company when they applied for this compensation.

When the workers finally find the shell company of the Noah Dexin Merchants Group, they will find a surprise.

That is, this shell company has "bankrupt".

At this time, these poor workers will either face unemployment or continue to work as expatriates in the Goilia Consortium.

The Goilia Consortium will also make big promises at the right time, such as how long it takes to become a formal employee, how many years of work will get a salary increase, etc.

This method has been tried and tested by the two consortiums, because they have become the rulers and monopolists of the East Continent and are completely unscrupulous.

Even if a worker goes to the Court of Justice to complain, it is impossible to get any compensation, and the complainant will even pay a lot of money.

You know, it costs money to go to the Court of Justice to complain.

As the highest institution of the Navy, Hongye Academy, many of Lin Lan’s classmates have seen through these shady dealings.

But more ordinary people in Orlan or people from other countries who come to work have been deeply trapped in the routines of these two consortiums and find it difficult to get out.

At that time, after Lin Lan listened to all the stories of his classmates in the academy, he didn’t think it was strange.

Because when he was in Blue Star, he was used to seeing this disgusting trick caused by capitalists in history books.

It’s just that the guys who play these tricks have all been hanged on the street lights by the working class led by the Northern Union of Blue Star.

The reason why he was so shocked now was that he had never expected that what was supposed to be done by the Northern Alliance would actually be done by the White Eagle!
