This is a good idea. After running the factory and making money, Barnett plans to get rid of old employees like them.
Of course, Barnett doesn't really need them anymore. Otherwise, they would have been cut off from them long ago. Do you really think you are giving them, these old employees, face? Can we still have relationships with capitalists?
The job of brewing wine is not something that newcomers can take on. If possible, it would be best if they are all old people. Their rich experience is unmatched by those newcomers. If you encounter a problem, Kirk can easily solve it.
But the brewery has developed to a certain stage, and it is basically impossible to expand as crazy as before. Barnett does not want to spend as much money on those workers as before. If you can't make any money from the market, you can squeeze out of these workers. As long as it's money, there's nothing wrong with it. The only bad thing might be that there's too little money.
Kirk stared at Barnett coldly, feeling uncomfortable in every possible way. A feeling of anger was blocked in his heart, making it difficult to vent.
"Stare at me?" Barnett mocked. "I just said, if you want to do it or not, you can get out if you don't!"
"Even if I give you half the salary, it's still much more than others outside. Don't be dissatisfied! If you can, just get out. I'll see if you can still afford to support your family." Barnett said arrogantly.
He has already understood that these workers, the older they get, the better they are. When they are older and have a family, they cannot make any mistakes, otherwise their families may be destroyed. On the contrary, those young guys have nothing to worry about and will stop working if they even think about it.
Barnett is right. Even if some workers are angry and leave, it is impossible for them all to leave. As long as there are some who stay, his brewery can continue to operate. It is nothing more than recruiting more new people.
After the new batch of workers are all proficient, he can also fire the remaining old people. If this continues, won't these workers be in his hands? The price can be pushed down in the future.
Barnett waved his hand unhappily and said, "Go away, I'll give you a day to go back and think about it. If you don't want to do it, you won't come tomorrow. If you want to do it, you will continue to come tomorrow. Don't mention the salary when you come. I will fire anyone who mentions it!"
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became solid. After Barnett left, everyone left the office one after another.
It was completely different from the state when they first came here. When they came, they were high-spirited, but now they all turned into a sluggish state.
Even Kirk, who took the lead, became a little confused. He didn't know what his purpose was. He also recognized the reality and understood how naive his and others' ideas were at the beginning. In fact, the other party didn't take them seriously at all.
At this time, there were also subtle discussions around.
"What should we do now?" someone asked worriedly.
"I can't do it anymore. This Barnett doesn't treat us as human beings. Why should we continue to suffer here!"
Some people hesitated, "But... we have been brewing wine for more than ten years, what else can we do besides this? And although the salary has been cut in half, there are not as many other jobs as this one."
"Yes, what else can we do? I have five children at home. What will they do if I can't work?"
Kirk Listening to the words of these workers, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. What kind of bullshit person in charge was he? It was of no use at all at the critical moment. I thought it would be useful if we united, but they didn't care about that at all.
Kirk didn't even know how he got home. After opening the door, his wife asked with concern, "How is it? Is the money coming? There is not much money at home now."
Kirk shook his head and went back to the room without saying anything. When his wife saw it, she roughly understood the outcome of the matter. She did not put too much pressure on Kirk and just left him alone.
During the meal, the wife called Kirk again, but Kirk didn't respond. The wife felt a little worried again, but in the end she still left Kirk alone without disturbing her too much.
Kirk didn't know what he was thinking about while lying on the bed, but he just had to think about it, and he refused to let himself go even if his head was all muddy and he couldn't think of anything.
I don't know how long it took, but Kirk felt that the sky was getting darker, but he still had no intention of getting up until his wife knocked on the door.
"Kirk, a guest comes to see you. Get up and take a look."
Kirk was stunned for a moment, climbed up from the bed, and rubbed his face to make himself look more energetic. Now that it was getting dark, he thought it was his coworkers who came to find him.
After walking out of the room, Kirk looked at the two people in front of him with a surprised expression on his face.
"Lord City Lord!"
Claire showed a friendly smile to Kirk, "Come here so late, don't bother me."
Kirk hurriedly shouted to his wife, "Go get the chairs, while the other guests are standing."
Kirk didn't have anything like a sofa at home, so Claire was sitting on a small wooden chair. When he shook it hard, he could still hear the creaking sound of friction.
Claire took the initiative and said, "Do you want to think about what happened during the day again?"
"Go to the town under my command to brew a bar. We can discuss the conditions."
After hearing Claire's words, a trace of confusion flashed in Kirk's eyes. What happened this morning had already made him doubt his own judgment and he didn't know how to choose.
Claire was not in a hurry after he finished speaking. He did not take the initiative to persuade the other party or anything. He just looked at the other party and gave him enough time to think.
Rona glanced at the hesitant Kirk and knew very well that the other party would definitely agree. The quarrel between Kirk and Barnett at noon today was clearly visible to Rona from not far away. The previous invitation gave the other party one more choice, but in this case Claire's invitation to the other party was a timely help. Moreover, with the conditions given by Claire, winning them over was really not a problem.
Rona also understood what Claire said, what should be mine will always be mine.
Sure enough, just as Rona predicted, within a few minutes, Kirk in front of him raised his head and asked, "What conditions can you give?"
After the other party said these words, Rona quickly looked at Claire. Sure enough, there was no big fluctuation on his face at all, as if this was a matter of course.
"Everyone's monthly salary is one Gold Coins, which is the basic salary. In addition, there are bonuses you can get after the brewery sells beer, as well as various subsidies in normal times. The total salary of your workers should be around twenty-five Gold Coins." Claire said softly, these are considered technical personnel, and more than twenty Gold Coins are not very expensive.
After listening to Claire's words, Kirk's eyes almost popped out of his head. Twenty-five Gold Coins? They only had ten Gold Coins before, so their salary has doubled.
