Vol 6 Chapter 4: Employee management

The Duke of Macaros did not make up his mind.
However, there was no certain purchase of farmland magic machinery, but it did not affect his idea of ​​buying some home magic machinery.
After all, I came to the private manor of the Marquis of Sosgaard and saw the magical effects of the various household magic machines brought by Xu. This time, even if he is stubborn, he must admit that these things are really very useful.
Since it is just a little money to bring so much convenience to your life, why not?
Of course, this so-called "a little bit of money" is only for the Duke of Macaros.
In fact, this time he purchased seven sets of all kinds of household magic machines from the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce, but spent a total of 3,600 gold coins.
For the civilians of the Marlow Empire, this number is still a huge amount that they will never earn in their lifetime.
"The Marquis, I can ask the average annual income of the people in your territory?" After the Duke of Macaros left, Xu also asked the Marquis of Sosgaid.
"Why ask this question?" The Marquis of Sosgaard was a bit strange.
"I just want to use this to estimate the approximate level of consumption here."
The Marquis of Sosgaard smashed Xu Yi, his eyes were a bit strange.
"Mr. Xu, I am afraid I will disappoint you. To be honest, the people on my territory are already a good group in the empire, but compared to those in the name of your new flying business association. It’s still a long way to go. It’s also awkward, as their lord. I can only make sure that they can live normally every year. But they can’t make a real improvement in their lives.

Xu also smiled and shook his head: "The Marquis. This is not your fault. Not to mention that you brought our new flyers here, then you will be able to lead them to a better life."
"Sure?" The Marquis of Sosgaard looked at Xu and looked at him. "Mr. Xu, you are very confident."
"Of course, if there is no confidence in this point, I will not come at all, isn't it?" Xu also smiled and continued to ask: "The Marquis adults know the average income of the people on your territory. If it is, it can be very important for my future planning. Please tell me."
"Is it?" The Marquis of Sosgaard frowned and thought. He sighed and shook his head. "Actually, this question is really bad... I just said that these people on the territory are also Just barely able to live, you have to say income... they don’t actually have any income at all."
"This way... then I probably know what to do." Xu also nodded, suddenly staring straight at the Marquis of Sosgaard, and said: "The Marquis, now we can talk about the various homes in this magical industrial base. The issue of factory employees was discussed."
"It is necessary to be the main force of the people in our territory. There is no room for negotiation." The Marquis of Sosgaard answered almost without thinking.
"Of course, this is what we said before. I didn't change it. Now the question I want to discuss is the salary paid to these employees. What do you want to do with Marquis?"
The Marquis of Sosgaard said: "What do you mean by this?"
"I mean, as a lord, you have the power to order the people under the name to work in the factory, just as they are farming the farmland on your territory, then our Chamber of Commerce does not need to pay their salaries separately, and Just pay your lord the cost of hiring them. What do you think?" Xu Yidao.
The Marquis of Sosgaard frowned and meditated for a moment, and asked: "Mr. Xu, I remember that whether you are a member of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce or other magical interest-bearing chambers, all of them are paid by the various chambers of commerce to the employees. What?"
"Yes. But before that, there were still a lot of magical machinery chambers that were run by the aristocratic lords of various countries, and then took the order to let the people on the land enter the factory, thus saving the salary paid to the employees. ""
"Then why is it now?"
"Because all these chambers of commerce have been eliminated." Xu also smiled. "It turns out that such a model is difficult to motivate the employees' work enthusiasm, resulting in some differences in quality and performance of the magic machinery produced, so it was finally eliminated by our new flying chambers and other magic machinery chambers. This industry."
"Working passionately..." Marquis Sosgate held his chin and thought for a moment, nodded. "I understand what you mean. Xu, if I let the people in my name enter these factories in their personal capacity." Accept employment, what do you do?"
"That's very simple, just like we do in the Kingdom of Lampari and the country of Constantine, treat them as our ordinary employees, give them the corresponding salary, and provide them with some necessary welfare measures. But... ..."
Speaking of this, Xu also paused.
"If they accept our employment in this way, then it should be regarded as the workers in the names of our various chambers of commerce. As long as the management rights are in the hands of our chambers of commerce, you are even their lords, but you can’t directly Intervention, there is something that needs to be approved by our various chambers of commerce first."
Looking at the serious look on Xu Yi's face, the Marquis of Sosgaard frowned.
Xu Yi’s words are quite straightforward, which means that if they follow the plan proposed by Xu, then the employees who enter the factory will be returned to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce, and the Marquis of Sosgaard will be the majority. Time can't intervene.
To put it simply, Xu is fighting for a certain dominance for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce that invest here.
And if the Marquis of Sosgaard does not agree, Xu also gives the consequences, that is, the enthusiasm of the employees may be affected, which will affect the efficiency of work and the quality of the magic machinery produced.
Under the gaze of Xu Yi, the Marquis of Sosgaard meditated for a long while, then slowly shook his head.
"Xu Huichang. I am afraid that you can't agree with this request. The management of the people on the land is the responsibility of my lord. I also have the responsibility to guide them. So I can't take my people at any time. Give it to others to manage."
Xu also was quiet on the surface, but his heart sighed deeply.
He is very disappointed with this answer.
Originally thought that the Marquis of Sosgaard was very enlightened, then it is very likely that it would be more open-minded in this kind of thing, but he did not expect that he would, like all the noble lords in the world, be reluctant to give up on his own territory. Control of all things.
Of course, Xu is not surprised by this answer.
During the development of the new Feishang Association in these years, Xu also had contact with several aristocratic lords. I deeply understand the thoughts of the aristocratic lords on this continent, knowing that they will never easily change this idea when they have not received the tangible benefits.
This is a slight improvement in the Kingdom of Lampari and surrounding countries with the vigorous development and standardization of the magical industrial industry driven by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce over the years, but within the country of the Malo Empire, one of the two major empires of the mainland. For the great nobility, it is not so easy to change.
Xu Yiluo was indulged and said: "If you choose this way, you can choose the same. Our new flyers and other chambers of commerce will be the same as those from your hands. The commission will be paid directly to you. Need to sign a private employment agreement with the hired workers. What do you think?"
The Marquis of Sosgaard nodded lightly: "Well, that's it. But the commission doesn't have to be anything. You can guarantee the lives of these people. Anyway, you have to pay the corresponding taxes to me."
Xu also smiled a little, thinking that the Marquis of Sosgay might not ask for a commission because he refused his own proposal, but this does not meet Xu’s plan.
"No, Marquis adults. Taxes are taxes, commissions are commissions, and this can't be confused. Building a factory in your private territory has already been reduced by a lot of taxes, and if you cancel the commission, you will be too disadvantaged.

The Marquis of Sosgaard laughed: "Even if I eat some losses, there is nothing. The most important thing is that you can cooperate with me to improve the environment on the territory. If you can build this image, it is the city of Bangta and even the headquarters of your new Feishang Chamber of Commerce. The appearance there, then I will not be a tax on your taxes."
"This joke can't be opened, Marquis. If I am serious, your annual loss will definitely make you regret it." Xu also laughed. "In short, from the perspective of my businessman, any transaction and cooperation should be based on a fair basis. Otherwise, this transaction and cooperation will not last long. In order for us to cooperate in the future, we will start at the very beginning. When it is time, it is best to make the next fair agreement, are you right?"
The Marquis of Sosgaard smiled and shook his head: "Well, since you will insist on the president, I still charge some commissions. Well... I am doing this for the first time, I really don't know how to offer." You can say, just give me a decent price."
"That's good, every employee..." Xu also extended three fingers. "Thirty gold coins, what do you think?"
The Marquis of Sosgaard went to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to inspect twice, for a total of nearly a month. It is clear that the minimum salary that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will give to its employees is more than one hundred gold coins per year.
In comparison, the commission for thirty gold coins a year is obviously too much.
However, the two have already made it clear that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce only hired people from the Marquis of Sosgaard and could not have the management of these employees. Naturally, they hired them in private. Much worse.
Although the difference is a little bigger, it is reasonable.
The Marquis of Sosgaard was slightly indulged and nodded and agreed.
"Okay, this price. But there is still a problem, Xu Hui, according to your estimation, how many people do you need to hire?"
Xu Yi’s face showed a slight smile, and then a finger was extended.
"Not much, only about 10,000 in the beginning is enough."
"One thousand people?!"
The Marquis of Sosgaard looked at Xu Yi with his eyes wide open and was too surprised to say anything. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
