Chapter 1463 Porter at the Dock
Although North Koreans and South Koreans are of the same race, Yang Ming feels very different because there are many differences between the two places.
At the dinner last night, Yang Ming learned that the representative was actually from North Koreans.
In recent years, more than 100 or 200,000 people from North Koreans have smuggled here, forming a large ethnic group.
When Yang Ming and others came to Xiagang.
As soon as they arrived there, several people in charge of Xiagang had already arrived.
Several people in charge of Xiagang were transferred from a port of Hutchison Whampoa under the Empire Group. They were mainly white people, but there were also Chinese. When they saw Sir Yang, Li Caixin and others, they hurried over to say hello.
"Boss, Governor Li."
After they greeted Yang Ming, Li Caixin, He Chaoxun, Lin Xiuzhi and others respectively.
Yang Ming and others put on safety helmets.
Wearing safety helmets is a must when inspecting the port.
When one of the white people in charge brought Yang Ming and others to a handling dock, he pointed there and said, "Boss, those are North Koreans."
Yang Ming looked over and saw that these North Koreans looked a little thin.
Of course, this may have been formed in the past.
In fact, the North Koreans had been prosperous for a period of time because they were supported by the Soviet Union. However, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the new country of Goose could not manage itself. The economy of North Korea was naturally getting worse day by day. When they were hungry, many people looked thinner.
And these people looked much better after they smuggled to the Far East.
Because here, as long as they work, they can have food to eat and money to get.
It's just that these people just smuggled here, they have nothing, and they can only rely on hard labor to support themselves or their families. Of course, they entered the port here as porters, because there are guarantors, that is, they need to be guaranteed by relevant companies or guarantors, and it is impossible for everyone to come in.
When they need a guarantor, it means that they want to pay a sum of money to the company or guarantor who guarantees it. Like the North Korean elite representative that Yang Ming met last night, in fact, the other party is a guarantor, and the other party recommends trustworthy people to work here at the port.
"Do they usually fight?"
"At the beginning, there were, but later there were no more. They are a group of people who are easier to manage." The white person in charge next to him said.
Like these ports, there are a lot of goods coming in and out every day, all kinds of goods.
The most feared thing is fighting, or even stealing.
In fact, there were indeed fights at the beginning, but after being fired, this situation became less and less.
As for stealing, there were quite a few at the beginning.
These people may steal things during work, because there are a lot of things here in the port, whether it is food or other mineral resources, as long as they can be stolen out, they can use them themselves or sell them to others at a low price.
At the beginning, there were really many people stealing things.
But later, after the port increased patrols and security, and once the theft was discovered, it was immediately fired, so this situation gradually decreased.
Yang Ming and others walked over.
They found that many people were moving things here at the port.
Such coolies who move things.
Now there are Hong Kong docks and domestic docks, but with more and more forklifts, there will be fewer and fewer such dock porters in the future.
Because one forklift operator can replace ten ordinary porters, or even more.
"Don't we have forklifts? Why are there so many porters?" Yang Ming asked.
"Boss, there are indeed many more forklift workers in Xiagang now, but some goods still need a large number of porters to go in and out. However, according to the development of Xiagang, many of these porters will be eliminated in the next few years. Moreover, these porters, if they have not learned forklift technology or other technologies, will be eliminated."
This is inevitable.
Although it is cruel, how could a large port have such a large number of human porters?
Because there will be no need at that time.
On the contrary, forklift technicians will be needed until the next 20 to 30 years.
Moreover, it is not difficult to learn forklift technology. It depends on whether these people can master it?
"Call that man over."
Yang Ming saw that it was a thin middle-aged man who was carrying some coal.
Why Yang Ming could see it, because the other party was black, these should be coal.
The man was still carrying, and was suddenly stopped by a supervisor.
The other party stopped and felt a little strange.
Now, moving items is calculated by piece, and there is also a normal basic salary, which means that the more you move, the more you earn. Every day, the other party works very hard to move.
When the man was called over.
Looking at the white people in white helmets in front of him, he knew that these people were not simple.
He hurriedly bent down to greet Yang Ming and others.
The other party spoke Goryeo, which Yang Ming did not understand very well.
In fact, it is Korean, of course, it is still a little different from Korean.
"Who can speak Goryeo?" Yang Ming just said it.
A person in charge has stood up to translate for Yang Ming.
"Boss, he expresses his most respectful greetings to you."
"What's his name?"
"Boss, his name is Park Antai."
"How old is he this year."
"48."
"Who is at home?"
"Boss, he said that he originally had parents, brothers and sisters at home, but this time he brought his wife and two children to sneak here from Rason. In other words, there are now four of him in the Far East."
. . .
Yang Ming asked a lot of questions.
Of course, the salary in the Far East Governor's Office area is the highest in the surrounding areas, even comparable to Dongyang and South Korea.
In the past, many North Koreans wanted to sneak to South Korea to develop, but now they want to sneak to the Far East Governor's Office.
Moreover, the income here can support ten people by himself. The most important thing is that the prices here are not high and the salary is very good.
Now Park Antai is very satisfied with his life.
However, his parents and other brothers and sisters at home were not able to sneak here, and he didn't know how much they would be affected by their family's escape and smuggling.
After asking, Yang Ming shook hands with the other party and said: "In the Far East, as long as you work hard, your efforts will not be treated unfairly, and your efforts will be rewarded."
Yang Ming shook hands with the other party, and the other party was still shocked.
He didn't know who the young man in front of him was, but he felt that this young man was not simple. Under such circumstances, he actually shook hands with him.
Yang Ming did not stay.
Turned and left.
Park Antai was still standing there.
When Yang Ming and others left, a man next to them looked at the other party and said, "The one just now was Mr. Yang." (End of this chapter)
