Chapter 269: Calming the Situation_2
Opening the trunk directly, he took out a handbag, and revealed a stack of US Dollar bills after opening the zipper. There were so many that they even fell to the ground.
The blue-collar workers had never seen so much cash before and were instantly stunned, holding their breath as they looked at the cash inside the money bag.
Allen Zhang, with an unchanged expression, drew a short spray gun and placed it on top of the trunk, which brought everyone back to their senses. Those who recognized the caliber respected the brave!
"Guys, take a look at this Rolls-Royce behind me, then look at this bag of cash. I can tell you very responsibly—I'm very wealthy! I'm a billionaire!! I don't care about this sum of money, and I guarantee I won't owe any of you any wages."
Allen Zhang shouted, then handed the money over to Reko, who was responsible for registering and distributing salaries, "After taking this money, you can choose to continue working here, or you can voluntarily terminate the employment contract to receive 1.5 times the wage compensation, and our employment relationship will end here. You don't have to pay any hefty union dues either. This is your reward from me, not for the union. If there are any issues you can call Hanberger Foundation, the Foundation will hire a lawyer to stand up for your rights, so just take the money and leave quickly."
Many people considered for a while and directly chose to take the 1.5 times wage compensation, signed their names on the contract termination, and then decisively packed up their tents and left.
Watching many people take the money and leave, Allen Zhang did not forget to remind them, "Don't leave trash at the entrance of the factory, clean it up."
"Don't worry, sir, we'll definitely tidy it up for you." The workers who took the money were very reasonable and didn't need Allen Zhang to remind them much; they began cleaning up the site quickly, making it tidy and neat, even leveling the human and animal waste on the roadside.
But there were also a few old employees who did not choose to go for the 1.5 times wage temptation to terminate the employment contract, preferring to continue working here.
"Ma'am, why didn't you choose to leave Pike Company?" Allen Zhang turned to the young mother holding her child and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Elena. As you can see, sir, I'm a single mother, and I have a child to raise, my life expenses are large, and I can't be without this job. In fact, I have looked for many jobs before, whether as a fast-food waitress or a convenience store cashier, none of them offered a higher salary or better benefits than Pike Company, and I'm only a temporary worker at the company. The company owes me only 2200 US Dollars in wages."
The young single mother Elena looked to be under twenty years old, roughly the same age as Erin.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, she looked lively, with an outstanding figure, holding a one-year-old child, which meant she became a mother at sixteen or seventeen.
It's really sad.
But the General Sect Leader was accustomed to it, after all, there are plenty of people who get pregnant at 14 or 16 around here.
"That's great, Elena, you are now an official employee of Pike Company, and to reward you, I have decided to let you be responsible for the personnel management of this site. Your salary will be raised to between 4000-5000 US Dollars per month," Allen Zhang said, nodding.
"Really? Sir? But I don't even have a high school diploma, I've never studied management..." Elena was incredulous and covered her mouth.
"Any skill can be learned, nobody knows it from the beginning, and I have high hopes for you," Allen Zhang smiled and encouraged her, "Besides, this job doesn't have hard requirements for education, as long as you can operate machines and work diligently."
"I really can't thank you enough, sir, I don't know how to repay you," Elena said excitedly, her eyes reddening, and she hugged the General Sect Leader.
Allen Zhang patted her shoulder as well and smelled a milky scent; he pinched the child's cute little face. "What's the name of this child?"
"His name is Allen, sir," Elena replied.
"...Is that so? That's a really nice name," Allen Zhang twitched at the corner of his mouth and played with him a little, "Hey, little Allen, hello."
The one-year-old child didn't understand anything and turned his head to burrow in his mother's arms, wanting to nurse. Elena had no choice but to turn and walk to the side to feed little Allen.
The child is really fair... no, the mother is really adorable.
Allen Zhang then went on to arrange work for another employee, also asking why they chose to stay, and without exception, it was because the benefits at Pike Company were fairly good.
This also relieved the nearly-hanged Pike boss who had believed he was some kind of unscrupulous capitalist.
After dealing with these matters, Allen Zhang also went inside the factory to inspect the garbage sorting equipment. The factory's floor area was large, and these specialized facility production lines could replace the work of hundreds of people; moreover, they were equipment that Pike boss had only purchased a year ago. Aside from needing to pay a monthly maintenance fee, they could last for seventeen or eighteen years without any issue.
After finishing the tour of the infrastructure, before long, the Beggar Gang Disciples also brought people over to report.
Allen Zhang came out and called Reko and Elena, introducing them, "This is Reko, the supervisor, and Elena, the person in charge of the site. You can learn and familiarize yourself with the workflow from them. Afterwards, if anyone in the team is willing to work here, we can also accept them based on merit. The monthly salary will not be less than 4000 US Dollars, and there will be bonus and perfect attendance rewards."
