Enterprise Culture

"I don't quite understand!" Asier with some shame, because his thinking could never keep up with Lin Qi's Lin Qi, whether in the past, present, or future.

He didn't quite understand how to make money together with everyone. Was it by giving these workers shares?

That's completely unnecessary. There are indeed some pitiful people among them, but perhaps it is the injustices that have happened to them that have created certain negative traits in them.

They are liars and cunning; Asier has already been deceived by several of his compatriots.

The first one was a worker in the factory who privately approached him and said that his sister was sick and needed money for medical treatment, but he couldn't afford the expensive medical bills and hoped that the kind-hearted Lord Asier could give him some money...

At that time, Asier was a good man, a nice guy, and he gave the worker five thousand Galil without hesitation.

Five thousand Galil might not be worth much in Federal Sol, maybe forty-odd dollars, but in Nagaril, it's a huge sum of money.

A few days later, the workers stopped mentioning the matter, but Asier kindly inquired about it. The workers said that his sister had been treated and was very grateful to Lord Asier.

To avoid increasing the worker's guilt, Asier changed his clothes and secretly went to check if the worker's sister was truly cured. He discovered that the worker's sister was working as a prostitute, and he used the money to pay off his gambling debts.

This discovery hurt Asier deeply, but he said nothing.

Then came the second, the third, and eventually he became numb and indifferent to those workers. He didn't know who was telling the truth and who was lying; he just didn't want to be deceived.

So when Lin Qi said he wanted to make money with everyone, Asier thought... maybe the boss was too kind; he hadn't yet witnessed the filth in the hearts of the people here.

Although he felt guilty thinking this way about his fellow countrymen, it was his true feeling. From initial anger to current indifference, he had to go through some psychological transformation.

Lin Qi was surprised that Asier had thought of so much in such a short time. He nodded. "I'm just offering them a possibility, an opportunity, a tangible attempt. Isn't that what you wanted before?"

He looked at Asier, Asier lowered his head slightly and looked away. "Start with the first page from the back, and take a good look..."

Asier complied with Lin Qi's request, turned over the plan in his hand, and then paused for a moment because there was a very special table on it.

He looked up at Lin Qi with some surprise. Lin Qi always showed him something unintentionally, leaving him confused and surprised.

This is... he doesn't know how to describe it.

This is a labor system and a method of wage settlement. Initially, it was Completed Daily Wage System. As long as the corresponding work was completed within a day, the factory would settle the day's wages with them.

This amount of money isn't small, but compared to what comes next, it seems insignificant.

After one hundred consecutive daily wages were settled, and no unexpected situations occurred, such as incomplete work or losses, etc.

Then, a worker's grade in the factory can be promoted one level, entering the second level of the salary system, the Weekly Wage System.

A weekly salary, when simply converted, is roughly equivalent to the salary one would receive on a ten-day daily wage.

If Weekly Wage System wages are already a bit higher, then the next option is Monthly Wage System even higher pay.

Monthly Wage System salary is roughly equivalent to the salary earned on a six- Weekly Wage System, or about sixty days of daily pay.

The Monthly Wage System is the end point of the salary payment method, but the level can continue to rise until the worker level five.

The monthly salary of a Level 5 worker is about four to five times that of a daily wage worker. Even in Asier's view, only a few people in the Federal could earn this salary.

It is roughly equivalent to 600 Sol, or about 70,000 to 80,000 Galil.

"Too much!" Asier exclaimed. He put down the form and looked at Lin Qi. "Too much, Mr. Lin Qi. What I mean is that we don't need to give them so much money to work for us. With that money, we can hire many more people."

"If you're worried they'll slack off or do other things, we can introduce a competitive mechanism to make them feel a sense of urgency. There's no need to pay them such high salaries!"

Asier also has another concern: once these workers get used to high wages, there will be problems if their salaries are adjusted in the future.

Lin Qi chuckled a few times. "Asier, my friend, have you ever seen me do anything stupid?"

Asier didn't press the matter further. Based on his blind trust in, and even adoration for, Lin Qi, he took another look at the document.

When he looked at it again, he had some new feelings and experiences than before. Perhaps... there were some things he didn't understand, which might be Lin's "magic".

Asier soon left with his mission: to promote the recruitment policy and recruit workers throughout the province. To prevent a repeat of the previous incident, Lin Qi had the Sergeant arrange for some people to protect Asier and his party.

In fact, Lin Qi had already considered the issues that he was worried about.

The most correct and appropriate way to protect one's rights is to have a legal document that can stand up to you anywhere.

If things are reasonable, justifiable, and legal, even if Lin Qi goes a little too far, no one will say anything.

Once these people join Lin Qi's company, they sign an agreement that will take them up to fifteen years, starting as the lowest-level worker on a daily wage basis and working their way up to the highest-level worker.

In addition, advancing to the third level or higher requires completing certain tasks, much like the "promotion" in some tabletop role-playing games in the Federal, which requires key items.

Here, they need to meet certain fixed criteria, such as their professional skills meeting Federal technology standards, becoming "senior technicians," and accepting various assignments from the company, such as being sent to work in other countries.

Some things are easy to do, such as being sent to work abroad, but others are not so easy, such as professional advancement, which requires more than just money; it also requires sufficient connections.

If someone could actually stay here for fifteen years, they would tolerate even if Lin Qi or the company's management were sometimes not so polite to them, let alone actively looking for trouble or cheating.

It's important to know that Lin Qi not only possessed caring kindness but also paternalistic discipline. Workers at level one or above, i. e., those on Weekly Wage System or Monthly Wage System, would have their level reduced to the daily pay level and have to start over if they made a mistake.

No matter how much they have contributed to the company, if the company deems their mistakes unforgivable, they will lose everything they have given.

Moreover, this is an extremely effective selection system with a screening mechanism. The increasingly longer salary payment cycle will allow those who could only bear a little at the beginning to bear more and more until they meet the needs of capitalists.

When a person invests too much time and energy in something, and places certain hopes and beliefs in it, they become inseparable from it.

One hundred days is enough time to filter out those who are willing to work hard and without complaint. Perhaps some people can get into the Weekly Wage System at first, but as the system changes, they will eventually be assimilated into the same kind of people: honest people.

As long as you obey orders, you can make money together with the company.

The unimaginable high salary, the opportunity to work abroad, and even the possibility of overseas assignment subsidies – this is life in paradise!

Life's changes begin to enter the next stage, and this is probably what is called Enterprise Culture?

The next morning, around ten o'clock, Lin Qi was already waiting in the reception Living Room.

It must be said that the Provincial Governor Drag knows how to enjoy life. There is a palace-like complex in the dense forest, with a grand and open style and a completely open structure.

Sitting in a wooden rattan chair, which of course has soft cushions, the surrounding tropical trees rustle in the wind, making a soft sound as their leaves rub against each other.

The heat waves, filtered through the layers of trees and shade, became exceptionally pleasant when they finally entered the room, which resembled a giant pavilion.

Besides being beautiful, the tropical trees outside serve to cool down the hot winds.

A few minutes later, Simon arrived with his wife and children to visit Lin Qi.

From the beginning, he did not regard the visit as a formal business probe, but rather as... a visit by a long-time foreign businessman to his new neighbor to extend goodwill.

He wasn't driven by much self-interest, which is why he mentioned bringing his family along when making this request.

When family members are present, the occasion is never quite formal.

This was Lin Qi's second meeting with Simon, but the situation was different from the last time. Last time, Simon came with a mission: he hoped that Lin Qi would be sensible enough to Preton Merchant House if he wanted to do business locally.

Given the circumstances at the time, this was perhaps the most suitable approach: join the trading company, obtain a quota, receive assistance when necessary, and then earn a stable annual return.

Perhaps it was because of Preton's misunderstanding of Lin Qi that the former "Mr. Preton" went on the run a few months later and is said to still be on the run in a sorry state.

Simon's unease was understandable, which was probably why he brought his family along. At least out of respect for them, Lin Qi wouldn't give him a too embarrassing result.

"Mr. Lin Qi, we meet again!" Simon put his hands together, making a blessing gesture often made by local religious people. His attire was very local.

If you disregard his fairer skin, slightly yellowish hair, and pale green eyes, his style of dress alone makes him indistinguishable from the locals.

This is how Simon, and many other foreign businessmen, integrate into the local community.

Marry one or more locals, have one or more children, wear traditional local clothes, and make a blessing gesture that even locals don't usually make.
