Volume 2 Chapter 176 - Other race agent (1/2)
The horse carriage slowly entered the Falling Rain Valley. Xu Yi didn’t go inspect the various factories like before and directly went looking for chief Siluka and chief Monto.
The two dwarven chiefs were contacted by Xu Yi ahead of time and when they saw him coming over with Still, they immediately understood his intention.
“Sir chairman, I don’t feel like there is a need.” Siluka looked over the document that Still had handed him for a while before saying with knitted brows, “You and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce are trusted by all the dwarves. Since we have already signed a contract with you, why do we need to go through all the trouble of signing another contract with young miss Still?”
“In other words, isn’t this just troublesome?” Chief Monto on the side also said, “We dwarves keep our promises and since we believe in sir chairman, there isn’t even a need to sign a contract. Not to mention that going through all these procedures just makes my head swell.”
Xu Yi looked at chief Monto’s head that was bigger than his and he couldn’t help smiling as he said, “It is my honour that you two choose to believe me, I’m very happy. If it was just you cooperating with me, there is indeed no need for a contract. But you can’t guarantee that all the dwarven brothers trust me like you do, right? Moreover, even I can’t guarantee that I won’t change in the future, even changing the things that I promised you. So that means that my taking care of everything, it will be a safeguard for the benefits of the dwarven brothers.”
“Xu Yi is right.” Still took over, “You can’t completely believe in oral agreements. There is also another important problem, it’s that the contract that you and the other dwarven brothers signed with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce before doesn’t conform with the kingdom’s laws, so it isn’t protected by the laws. That means that if the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wants to go against the contract and fire any dwarves, you won’t be able to resist.”
“I believe in the chairman, he won’t do this.” Chief Siluka said in a certain voice.
“My too.” Chief Monto also said.
“It isn’t a matter of believing in Xu Yi or not, the validity of the contract is another thing.” Still said, “Two chiefs, could it be that you’re not worried that Xu Yi will change his mind in the future?”
Siluka looked at Still before asking in a confused voice, “Young miss Still, you’ve just gotten married to the chairman, so why does it feel like you trust him less than us? You keep saying bad things about him?”
“That’s right, young miss Still, it can’t be that a problem has occurred between you and the chairman, right…..” Chief Monto asked with a puzzled look.
Still was speechless from what they said and she suddenly turned to hit Xu Yi’s arm. She said in an angry voice, “It’s all your fault, you had to have me take care of this matter. Now the two chiefs are doubting our relationship!”
Xu Yi laughed as he quickly explained to the two chiefs, “The two of you mustn’t misunderstand, Still didn’t want to do this, but I forced her. Still is right, this matter will ensure the benefits of the dwarven brothers, it isn’t about whether you trust me or not. As the chiefs of the Angola and Norma Tribes, you should first think about your clansmen first and then the benefit of the dwarf race itself, so I advise you to seriously consider this and it’s best if you sign this contract.”
Chief Siluka and chief Monto looked at each other before giving helpless nods, “Since the chairman is insisting on us doing this, then we’ll agree.”
Seeing that chief Sikuka and chief Monto were signing the delegated authority contract that Still took out, Xu Yi gave a nod. Then he had Still take out another series of contracts which he had chief Siluka and chief Monto sign.
Just like Still had said, although the dwarves had signed a contract before working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, because the Lampuri Kingdom didn’t have a law about other races working in human companies, the contract wasn’t protected by the kingdom’s laws.
This meant that in theory, as long as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wanted it, they could dismiss dwarven workers without giving any reasons and they wouldn’t shoulder any responsibilities.
Although this was only in theory and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t want to give up any dwarven workers that had strong techniques and knew how to work hard, Xu Yi was someone who transmigrated from earth and he placed importance in this kind of safeguard. That was why after he convinced the kingdom’s government to give labour cards to other race workers, he also proposed a set of laws related to other race workers to Seveni.
A while ago, when Seveni came to see Xu Yi, she told him that the Royal Parliament had already passed the other race worker laws that he had proposed before.
According to these laws, when human companies of the Lampuri Kingdom hired other race workers, they had to apply for labour cards for them first. Then they had to undergo a series of identity registration and security checks before they could become a recognized worker of a human company, being treated the same as a normal human worker.
But this procedure was a bit complicated and to let the Lampuri Kingdom that had a human society, as well as no experience hiring other race workers before, it really was forcing them out of their element.
If they allowed the companies who hired the other race workers to do this, although it was theoretically possible, it would be too tedious since the government would have to check with every human company. Therefore, the Royal Parliament had rejected this.
In the end, Seveni proposed Xu Yi’s idea to the Royal Parliament, which was authorizing a special organization to conduct these procedures according to the situation.
