Scythe

During the second half of the celebration, the governor finally had time to speak privately with Lin Qi about some of his thoughts.

"What do you think about bringing those Nagaril People back home?" the governor asked, looking exhausted. He had been going around thanking his sponsors since the afternoon and had just gone through the tense vote counting process.

After the results came out, the tension finally eased, and he looked exhausted.

However, he still forced himself to sit down with Lin Qi to discuss these issues. After this separation, he didn't know when they would meet again, and at most they could only communicate by phone.

While you can communicate over the phone, some things are best said in person.

Based on Lin Qi's previous conversations with him, he had some ideas, such as using cheap Nagaril labor to work in domestic factories, reducing the cost of starting up businesses and helping them resume operations as soon as possible.

This is also the thought of many entrepreneurs. When they heard that workers in Nagaril only earn twenty or thirty dollars a month, they were completely stunned.

Domestic workers earn at least two or three hundred yuan a month plus various extra expenses, and they can't work more than ten hours a day. They also need to have meat in their meals. From time to time, when they are unhappy, they will break out into a large-scale strike or protest. Sometimes, some business owners feel that they are the weaker party.

If these Nagaril Laborers could be employed to work for one's own benefit, then there is no doubt that even doing the least profitable thing would yield sufficient profit.

The governor also thought it was a good thing. The most important thing now is to resume work and get the factories running. Once the factories are running, it means an increase in fiscal figures, which will make him look better.

So he talked to Lin Qi about these things, hoping to get the opinion of Lin Qi, the "expert".

Lin Qi shook his head in disappointment. "That's unlikely, Your Governor. We need to understand that every non-citizen we use in the country means Federal citizen loses a job."

"Regardless of whether using foreign labor complies with the constitutional and Federal Law regarding the provision of job opportunities, the Labor Union and unemployed workers alone can put us in new trouble. If another round of destructive protests breaks out at this time, it will be disastrous for us."

People at the grassroots level in the Federal have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Federal Government's funding to help Nagaril People develop, but they are powerless to change the situation. Fortunately, a series of good news has been coming back, which has suppressed the anger that people are prone to unleashing in despair.

If at this time some cheap Nagaril Laborers were found to replace domestic workers and take away their jobs—even though they are currently unemployed—it would be a mistake.

This time, they definitely won't stand idly by and watch all this happen. They might even launch a frenzied march or destructive demonstration under the call of the Labor Union, and the governor who caused all this will become a sinner! Hearing this, the governor obviously realized the problem, and then asked another question, "So is there any way to solve these problems? I mean, it's impossible to send everyone to Nagaril to find work, right?"

"I read your interview in ' Oula Ninety Minutes ' and I know some of your thoughts. We can mobilize businessmen to go to Nagaril to look for development opportunities, but what about ordinary people?"

The governor sees this as an unsolvable problem. Businessmen can go out to find opportunities, they can open factories and trade, but what can ordinary people do? Even if they can find suitable jobs, it's impossible for everyone to go, and a large number of people will still be waiting for relief in the country.

Lin Qi shook his head again. "The Natives of Nagaril are stupid. They have not received higher education, they have not even attended technical schools. They can only do the simplest production work, and they can't do anything with even a little bit of technical skill."

"Nagaril will have a large number of technical job vacancies in the next two or three years. In fact, the main shortage is of skilled workers."

"The job of these skilled workers is very simple: to set an example and show the Nagaril People how to properly participate in the production process. Anyone who has three to five years of formal work experience in their home country can find a job in Nagaril without a doubt."

"As for the other issue, I have repeated it more than once before, and that is to let the Nagaril People feed us."

"The monthly expenses for four Nagaril Laborers plus one Federal worker are about six hundred dollars, which is about a thousand dollars less in labor costs compared to using Federal workers exclusively. This is also the profit margin we free up."

"We can ensure that the various benefits that Federal workers should enjoy remain unchanged, while also freeing up ample room to lower the rigid requirements for profitability. Nagaril has at least 100 million workers who can feed all of us."

After listening, the governor asked, "What about jobs? Money doesn't just appear out of thin air. I also believe that Nagaril can't possibly have that many jobs for us. Otherwise, we wouldn't need to go to Nagaril to develop their country. We could just keep that money in our own country."

Lin Qi drew a circle on the table with his finger. "There are countless opportunities all over the world, Your Governor."

"Defeated countries, victorious countries, neutral countries, any country that needs development and labor will become our clients. An ordinary person, as long as they have three, five, or a dozen cheap Nagaril laborers, can take on jobs all over the world. Everyone is a boss!"

In fact, Lin Qi, or rather the labor market, is mainly in countries where war has occurred.

A large number of young men were sent to the battlefield by their countries not long ago and died, permanently depleted, which has led to a severe labor shortage in many countries, and even women have begun to become the main source of labor.

At this point, the availability of cheap labor will definitely become something that governments around the world urgently need.

If the international community hadn't already banned the slave trade, they might have continued the slave trade on a national scale. But soon, Lin Qi will be able to solve these problems for them. Federal Foreman and Nagaril People will soon be scattered all over the world, plundering money and sending it back to the Federal. The Federal's economy will inevitably prosper again.

As Lin Qi recounted some of the details, the governor was intrigued and asked, "What should I do to make these things happen?"

Lin Qi leaned back slightly, crossed his legs, lit a cigarette, and said, "Unconditional support!"

While Lin Qi and the governor were discussing Nagaril and how the Federal Nagaril could use it to quickly restore economic prosperity, something else was happening in Nagaril.

"Why has my salary been reduced by almost half?!"

At a construction site, Nagaril workers who were queuing to receive their wages suddenly started shouting in dissatisfaction, and soon other people waiting in line to receive their wages also gathered around.

The worker is holding a payslip, which allows him to receive his day's wages from the accountant.

Initially, they worked on the construction site and were paid 121 Galil a day. It has to be said that this wage was not particularly high; it was just average. Most people with regular jobs would earn about the same amount of money a day.

Nobody really had anything to say about it; at least it was a job, and many people used to earn more money in a day than they did before.

But things have been getting increasingly strange these past few days.

The day before yesterday, his wages dropped from 121 Galil to 100 Galil, and yesterday they dropped to 95 Galil. Today, the worker only has 78 Galil in his pocket, and he can no longer tolerate the ever-decreasing wages.

Will it get even less tomorrow, the day after, or even worse, until he gets nothing at all after a day's work? The shouting young man stood in front of the pay table, clutching seventy-eight Galil in banknotes and coins, staring wide-eyed at the accountant behind the table, and yelled, "Did you take my share?!"

More and more people were affected by the young man's shouts, and they all rushed over to ask what had happened, then stood behind the young man to support him.

If young people's wages are reduced, it means that everyone's wages are reduced again. A few dozen Galil may be insignificant to those in the Federal, but for the Nagaril People, it represents a day's worth of survival.

Twenty Galil were enough for them to buy some food to fill their stomachs; this was no small sum! As more and more people gathered here, some Nagaril People status was clearly higher than that of ordinary workers, came from afar waving sticks.

Using locals to manage locals is a very effective method. Only when locals are ruthless towards each other will people not hate foreigners. And locals are indeed capable of being ruthless towards each other. Those who cannot be ruthless cannot become supervisors who assist foreigners in managing local laborers.

The crowd was quickly dispersed by sticks. Once the commotion subsided, the accountant slowly stood up, a contemptuous smile flashing across his face as he looked at the natives.

I don't know what he was thinking, but he couldn't help but chuckle twice before speaking, "It's not that I've cut your wages, but the Exchange Rate between Galil and Federal Sol has increased. Before, 120 Galil could be exchanged for one Federal Sol, but now it only takes 78 Galil to exchange for one Federal Sol."

"We are a foreign company, so our daily payroll is settled in Federal Sol. Federal Sol is not the legal tender here in Nagaril, so in order to respect the laws and Family Head here, we will exchange Sol for Galil and settle the payment with you."

"We are a legitimate and law-abiding company. The amount you received before is the same amount you receive now..."
