Chapter 44 [Construction of Factory Building Begins]
If it were a Hindu, a person who patted a high-caste Kshatriya on the shoulder would be crippled if not dead. Can nobles be patted on the shoulder at will? But for this Sikh Brunn, there is no such restriction. There is no possibility of any punishment, just like two friends patting each other on the shoulder.
Especially when he heard that the price of these explosives would definitely not be less than 500,000 rupees, Bel Singh felt much better. It turned out that he was not deceived, and these explosives were worth the price. Fortunately, these explosives were not TNT.
Otherwise, if they were really stored by his side, he would be scared, and it would be a troublesome thing to be afraid of being stolen or blown up. These explosives can be so safe that they will not explode when being transported or placed. It feels very good to finally put down the stone in his heart. Getting rid of the time bomb, the threat at any time made Bel Singh feel that the sky had turned blue, and he smiled and began to arrange these blasting team members with Brunn to take their own equipment.
Carrying boxes of explosives, boxes of water pipes, and various tools, they came to the exit of the bus station. Without Master Belsinger's instructions, the human mule Brooke had already run out of the bus station and called the three-wheeled vehicles that had been waiting for a long time to come over. Every two people sat in a three-wheeled vehicle, plus a three-wheeled vehicle for transporting tools, and the vehicle drove into the town in a mighty manner.
Then they stopped on a street that was not very busy. Next to it was a two-story independent building. This building was a dormitory specially rented by Belsinger for these people who didn't care about their lives. There was also a basement where dangerous items such as explosives and detonators could be stored. The monthly rent exceeded 20,000 rupees, but the advantage was that the surroundings were quiet and would not affect the rest of these people.
The living facilities in the house were quite complete. At least they could watch TV and enjoy the comfortable life brought by electric fans. When they came to the dormitory, Brune was personally responsible for the resettlement of these people. That afternoon, he and Brune had a detailed discussion in Master Singh's apartment about the salary and benefits of the blasting team.
Each member of this group of desperate blasting team who are ready to face death at any time is highly paid. When they are working, that is, drilling holes and blasting, each person's salary is 1,500 rupees. Equivalent to more than 100 yuan in RMB, don't think this money is small, this is India in 2000, and the daily salary is hundreds of RMB. The police chief here has this income, and normal income is at this level if corruption is not included.
When there is no work, the salary reaches 800 rupees, which is considered a high salary. After all, Belsinger runs a cement manufacturing company, not digging for gold. The entire mountain is limestone. The ore produced after two days of blasting is enough for the cement factory to produce for half a month. It is impossible to blast every day. So it is good for these people to work ten days a month. It can be said that they have high salaries and high treatments, and there is still a lot of free time. In addition to salary, there is the treatment of these staff.
There are two days of paid leave every week, and Belsinger invites chefs to prepare meals for these people for three meals a day, one meat and two vegetables. In addition, there are workers who wash clothes and workers who make beds. Anyway, these people are all uncles and will not do housework, cooking or washing clothes by themselves. Everything needs to be served by someone. This condition seems very harsh. Are you a worker or a boss? Is it too much to enjoy a more luxurious life than Master Belsinger? Don't say that this is not too much.
The nature of this group of people's work is really too special. They can face death at any time. It is understandable that they earn a lot. As for such a high salary. That is to exchange their own lives. If this group of blasting team members have an accident when drilling and blasting, they can only blame themselves for being unlucky if they are blown to death or crushed to death. Belsinger, the boss, does not have to be responsible for the compensation of the relatives of these deceased employees, which means that these people died in vain, and Belsinger will not pay a large sum of money to compensate their families.
Everyone thinks that the author is talking nonsense. Even now, people who died on duty in India are compensated. Basically, they are foreign companies, plus state-owned factories or official government employees, and they will also receive corresponding compensation. Whether the workers who died in ordinary work accidents can get compensation depends on the boss's mood.
If the boss is kind, he will give some. If the boss is a black-hearted businessman who eats people without spitting out bones. Then congratulations to the families of the staff who died on duty. They can't get a penny of compensation, so these people's high wages and high treatment are obtained at a great cost. This is the national situation, and the funds are too tight.
The gold reserves accumulated over hundreds of years, that is, those gold bars, have begun to be used, so Bel Singh has not much spare money in his hands. The high treatment of these people will inevitably cost a lot, but it is much more cost-effective than compensating hundreds of thousands of rupees for the death of one every two or three days.
So Bel Singh signed a three-year contract with all employees without thinking. As for whether these members of the blasting team can survive within three years, it depends on whether Shiva can bless them. These people are low castes, belong to the slave class and untouchables. They have been oppressed for thousands of years. Shiva will not bless these people. Whether they can work well and survive for three years depends on their luck.
After the contract was signed, the members of the blasting group were relieved, and everyone almost predicted that their salary had been predicted in advance to Singjar's most prosperous commercial cross street. Start a lot of extravagance, and his salary is spent, and everything is done. This is not what Belsinger's boss can intervene.
It took people's salary. How do you spend the work of working money from his life? Is your boss managed? After finally getting these desperate people, Belsinger welcomed the next half a month of high -intensity operations, and got up for breakfast every day. Then sitting in a bamboo sedan, he took people to the mining area, and the engineers who hired high -paying were supervised together, and the construction team invited from Udibul.
Supervise the construction of cement manufacturing plant, and those blasting players also ushered in their first batch of work. Responsible for bombing the epidermal rocks on the limestone mountain. These rocks are transported with trench excavators and trucks to the construction site of the factory building, and then use these rock steel bars and cement to build the ground.
Due to the inconvenience of transportation, there are only a few trucks and trench excavators in Xinjar town. It is not enough to hire those, manpower trains tricycles. Even the large plates of the beast pulled are transported by the large plates of the plate. The multi -power of people and labor costs are too cheap, and the progress of the project is still satisfactory.
The whole construction site is very fast at a time, but the price paid is too high. The price of each generation of the cement from Udibal exceeds 1,200 rupees, which means that the price of a bag of cement is equivalent to more than 90 yuan. To what extent the transportation is too high, the cost of transportation is too high.
