Superfactory Hiring
In just three days, a large factory covering 100,000 square meters was built near Knockturn Alley Knockturn Alley.
On the very first day the factory was successfully built, the Bide Rocket Crossbow Superfactory began a vigorous recruitment drive.
To increase the production of Rocket Crossbow, Lester decided to first recruit 1,000 Muggle-born to work on the assembly line producing flying brooms.
The pay is so-so, 30 Galleon a month, barely comparable to the salary of an ordinary employee in the Ministry of Magic.
When news spread that the Bide Rocket Crossbow Superfactory had started recruiting, the entire Wizarding World was in an uproar. Even the most anticipated ministerial election was overshadowed by this recruitment news.
With the rapid development of Muggle technology, the number of Muggle has increased dramatically, resulting in a leapfrog increase in the number of wizards in the entire Wizarding World in recent years.
The number of wizards has increased, but the number of jobs has decreased. In order to suppress Muggle-born, purebloods would rather go to great lengths to hire Goblin or Gnome than hire a single Muggle-born.
Even a Muggle-born would be willing to forgo social security and health insurance, and purebloods would still choose to hire Goblin.
This has led to increasingly worse living conditions for Muggle-born in the Wizarding World.
Many Muggle-born harbored deep resentment towards the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, believing that their oppression had caused them to fall into poverty.
But now, a super-large factory is actually willing to recruit workers from the public, which is absolutely fantastic news.
Even with the hype surrounding Brian's endorsement of the Rocket Crossbow, most wizards only saw it as a joke, since those flying brooms were beyond their means.
Now, the news that the Bide Rocket Crossbow Superfactory is hiring is truly relevant to the lives of most wizards and could even change their fate.
As soon as the recruitment news was released, over a thousand wizards gathered in front of the Bide Rocket Crossbow Superfactory.
They wore outdated suits, some even with tattered ties; they looked incredibly down on their luck, but without exception, their eyes were full of hope.
If they can successfully enter the factory, then they will be workers, and they will have a formal job in the Wizarding World.
They wouldn't have to live in slums, risking being killed by dark wizards on the streets.
Their children no longer need to apply for poverty assistance while attending school, and they carry old books with illegible handwriting.
Their parents won't have to worry themselves sick and go to great lengths to ask for help to find them jobs in the Muggle World, even though they only have a Muggle elementary school education.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the gates of the Bide Super Rocket Crossbow Factory were flung open.
The sleazy old man Leona, dressed in a fancy suit, walked at the front looking quite respectable, followed by a top student from the Lunyu class, wearing a white shirt and looking equally respectable.
In the Azkaban, Leona is undoubtedly the most talented in management.
Therefore, Lester appointed Leona as the factory manager of the Bide Superfactory and also appointed many outstanding students from the Lunyu class as middle-level managers of the factory.
As soon as Leona came out, he was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people in front of him.
Some people may not know what it means for thousands of people to gather together.
If this group were located in an island nation during the Warring States period, they could have even launched a war to destroy the entire country. Even Leona, who had seen many great things, felt his calves tremble slightly.
"Are you... here for a job interview?" Leona asked uncertainly.
If this group is here to cause trouble, even if Dumbledore were present, they could wear him down to death.
"Yes, sir!"
"Sir, please, please hire me! My father is hospitalized, and we can't afford the medical bills. The doctors at the hospital actually threw my father out! Please, please hire me!"
Leona waved his hand. "Alright, quiet down. Now, come with us into the factory. This time, we will only hire 1,000 people, so we will select from you and hire you accordingly."
With that, Leona turned and led the way, followed by a large group of job-seeking wizards.
Upon entering the factory, they felt their eyes were about to be dazzled by the clean and bright cafeteria and the free employee meals consisting of two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish.
The thoughtful and comfortable staff lounge not only offers a variety of board and card games, but also a plentiful selection of fruits and snacks.
Along the way, they also saw their future workplace, which consisted of dozens of long assembly lines, looking magnificent and imposing.
Many Muggle-born were considering quitting; they could hardly believe how good the environment was!
Outside, purebloods would feed them dog food, let them live in dog kennels, and exploit them however they could.
The Great Hall, a full 500 square meters, accommodated over 3,000 wizards who had come to apply. Leona stood on the stage, wand in hand. "Sonorus!"
"Cough cough"
The Great Hall fell silent as everyone stared intently at Leona on the stage.
Leona, unfazed, declared loudly, "Before you apply, let me tell you about the benefits at our Bide Rocket Crossbow Superfactory."
Upon hearing that the terms of treatment were to be discussed, everyone instinctively perked up their ears.
Base salary: Operators receive a base salary of 30 Galleon plus additional pay.
Overtime pay: Overtime pay is calculated based on base salary, and is limited to 36 hours per month.
"Five social insurances and one housing fund, commercial medical insurance, the factory provides all these benefits."
"Lunch in the cafeteria, snacks and fruit in the break room are all unlimited."
"These are the Fawley by our factory. If you feel you can't accept them, you can leave now!"
After a long while, not only did no one leave, but the crowd in the Great Hall became even more eager.
My goodness, these Fawley are something I could never even dream of.
Especially regarding overtime pay, they had no concept of it before. Shouldn't overtime be unpaid?
Seeing that no one was leaving, Leona was very satisfied. He clapped his hands, and the ten Lunyu students below, now middle-level managers in the factory, each took out a thick stack of job applications.
However, Leona did not immediately have the wizards fill out the registration forms. Instead, he asked a question that was not on the topic, with a serious expression.
"Before you fill out the form, there's a very important thing we need to investigate, as it concerns your ability to work smoothly in our factory!"
Upon hearing that it concerned work, everyone tensed up and stared intently at Leona.
Leona slowly said, "Now, wizards from pure-blood families, that is, wizards within three generations without Muggle blood, stand on the right."
"Wizards from Muggle families, or those with Muggle blood within three generations, stand on the left."
The moment the words left his mouth, the entire Great Hall erupted in chaos!
Leona's explanation was complicated, but it's actually quite simple to understand. Isn't this just the distinguishing feature between Pure-blood wizard and Muggle-born?
