Volume 5 Chapter 76 - Revision plan (1/2)
Whether Xu Yi’s ambition was big or not, it wasn’t a problem for the others of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Rather it was the opposite, the high level members of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wanted to know that their sir chairman had this kind of ambition.
Because ambition from another angle was called big thoughts.
Compared to a sir chairman who had no ambition and limited views, of course they wanted a sir chairman with ambition and future plans.
As long as it was like this, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would continue quickly developing like it was now. Not only would it become a first class company in the surrounding countries, it would become a first class company of the entire Sines Continent.
As the Frestech Chamber of Commerce became stronger, naturally the top level members of this company would receive the same shocking benefits as the company.
Not to mention that based on the views of their personal benefits, as long as they followed sir chairman and spread the magic machines across the continent, wasn’t that already enough for them?
The last month of year 3875 passed quickly and after the New Years, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce started recruiting workers again.
This wasn’t strange, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had always been recruiting workers in the past two years. They had never paused in their demand for this.
But this recruitment was different from before, they mainly focused on recruiting for resources gathering workers.
And there was a very strict condition, which is that they wanted workers who would be willing to work away from home, going to a place that was a thousand or even two thousand kilometers away.
At the same time, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce stated that the work would be very hard in the beginning and it wouldn’t be easy to go home, so they would have to know how to suffer and bear with loneliness.
This requirement attracted the attention of many people because when the Frestech Chamber of Commerce recruited people, they gave very good conditions, but now they said that the work would be very hard which was rare.
But when comparing what this requirement was to the wage that was advertised, it suddenly became unimportant.
At least three hundred gold coins a year!
This wage wasn’t considered that high in the current Banta City, but whether it was in the Lampuri Kingdom or the Rudson Kingdom, it could be considered a truly high wage.
It had to be known, when the Frestech Chamber of Commerce fired eighteen thousand workers at once, the other companies had fought over these people. It caused the wage in the magic machine industry to suddenly increase, so for normal workers, twenty gold coins was already considered a good wage.
Not to mention that although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s wages were never higher than the other companies, their benefits were always better than any other company.
According to some private views, when working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, working for a wage of ten gold coins per month was better than working at another company for twenty gold coins per month.
Now that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was offering three hundred gold coins to recruit workers, not only did this break the convention of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it might even raise the average wage of the magic machine industry.
When this news was spread, there were countless people that swarmed to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s recruitment points in the various countries.
But a month after New Years passed, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had only recruited two thousand people, which was much lower than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s expectations in the beginning.
This disappointed Xu Yi a bit and he was also a bit confused.
Although working on a small island on the endless seas that was one or two thousand kilometers away from their hometowns made people uncomfortable, it shouldn’t be that hard to accept.
There were over twenty thousand people who came, but there were only two thousand that were willing to go. It was less than 10%, which was just too little.
Moreover, even if there were two thousand people, it didn’t mean that they could all go.
To open up resources on the endless seas, it required them to control the sea area. Xu Yi cared very much about this, so not only did they need to trust their workers, they needed special qualities.
For example, they needed to be able to endure loneliness, being able to live on a tough island, and other qualities……
According to Xu Yi’s estimates, of the two thousand people recruited, it would be good if only a fourth of them went to the island.
The true main forces would come from the old workers of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
But if they chose from these old workers, there weren’t that many workers who were willing to accept.
Xu Yi could of course forcefully transfer them to the islands, but in terms of stability, so Xu Yi wasn’t willing to do this.
