Chapter 65 Ai Rui Dai, a trace of A Niu Dai
Anderson is a very ordinary worker, and the frequency of factory shutdowns has been increasing recently, which has made everyone very uneasy.

From last year's one-week shutdown every month, to now one week of work, one-week shutdown, a panic is spreading in the hearts of every worker, especially... He heard that the factory seems to be running out of steam.

It's not that the factory is losing money or anything. In fact, the factory is not losing money, but the sales of the things it produces are getting worse and worse. Many commodities are piled up in the warehouse and slowly become dusty.

If things can't be sold, there is no income, plus input costs, warehouse management costs, workers' wages and other losses have become the most troublesome thing for factory owners at present.

Although he always assured the workers that he would continue the life of the factory as much as possible, everyone had a feeling that the day of changing jobs was not far away.

Today is payday, and Anderson packed himself neatly and came outside the factory early in the morning. Everyone chatted in groups of three or five about some ordinary content. Most of them were people who suddenly got rich, or people around Several factories have closed down.

They never felt that life would be so hard before, especially in the past few years, when the factory was running continuously from morning to night, and after every day's work, the workers were too tired to lift their arms.

At that time, it was very tiring, but it was also very fulfilling. As long as the work was rewarded, the factory owner even expanded the factory for this purpose, adding more jobs. . .

Everyone was chatting, reminiscing about the past, or full of fears about the future. At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the factory's financial office.

The noisy sound instantly stabbed everyone's sensitive nerves, and most people immediately ended what they were doing and trotted towards the door of the financial office.

It was only after Anderson got close that he realized that it turned out that several workers were arguing with the factory owner, that is, their boss. There were two reasons for the quarrel.

First, the factory will be completely shut down from next month. As for the resumption of work, everyone should wait for the notification.

This is equivalent to telling everyone that the factory is finished. The so-called resumption of work may not exist at all. The federal salary system adopts the working hour system. You can get as much money as you do.

This system has always been reasonable, especially for the hard-working workers, the more they put in, the more they get, and everyone worked hard to contribute to the factory.

Once the total shutdown, it means that these workers will not have a penny of income next month!
The vast majority of ordinary families in the Commonwealth do not have the habit of actively saving. In addition, the savings interest rates of the six major banks in the Commonwealth have been continuously lowered recently. There is not much difference between depositing money in the bank and holding it in hand.

This further reduces people's urge to deposit money in the bank.

Money has a very special attribute. When you have money in your hand, you will have an inexplicable desire to consume. The more money you have, the stronger the desire to consume.

It may be to buy a seldom-purchased Houtdog to satisfy one's appetite, or it may be to buy a pack of good cigarettes that have not been bought before to enjoy the mellow aroma of money burning.

If there is no savings, life depends entirely on salary. If there is no salary, many families will immediately fall into a terrible situation of termination of operation!

What's even more terrifying is the expiration of the payment period for various installment products, including houses and cars, which will become a burden that overwhelms people's lives!

In the past few years, the whole world began to stabilize from the melee, and the Federation, which had been isolated from the war, began to develop rapidly.

A large number of new things have been introduced, including consumption methods and concepts. Not only can the house be instalment, but the car can be instalment. As long as you have a social security card, as long as you have legal citizenship, you can even buy a TV by instalment.

Everyone is enjoying the huge dividend of the times, as if there is money everywhere, as long as you bend down, you can pick up the money.

But now, these unpaid installments have become the noose around people's necks, and they may be tightened anytime and anywhere, taking people's lives!

Several workers are arguing with the boss over this matter, and they demand that the boss must start work next month, and not less than ten days, this is their last insistence.

One day on, two days off, and if that's not guaranteed, their lives will be a problem.

Obviously, the boss always had a cold face and kept shaking his head. It was impossible for him to accept such a request.

The current business is not good. The market in the surrounding area of ​​Sabine and even in the state is saturated. It is difficult to sell goods in bulk as before, and the speed of payment is slow. The money returned is basically spent on storage fees and wages.

Continuing to start work, he has no other way apart from bankruptcy. The only thing he can do now is to stop work completely, and then find a way out for his own products, or find a problem and solve it before continuing to work.

The workers are at a loss at this time, and the factory owners are also at a loss. It is obviously a very popular item, why can’t it sell in just one or two years?

You must know that in the past, a large number of people drove trucks and rushed to load goods outside the warehouse, but now, some people actually called him to ask if they could return the goods, even if only 30.00% of the money was refunded!
In addition to this question of the shutdown, there is also the question of how the paycheck will be paid this time around.

"There's no money left in the factory's account to pay you all, so I thought maybe we could pay you in another way..."

Everyone has stopped arguing about the work stoppage. The workers decided to let the union come forward. At this time, they looked at the factory owner with a cold expression, and they lost the friendship they had before. Not only did they have a wall, they also become the enemy.

The factory owner's eyelids trembled twice. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. His voice was dry, astringent, and hoarse. "I don't know how to say it..." He looked at the unfamiliar workers around him and sighed. , "You already know the current situation of the factory, and I can't come up with the money..."

Before he could finish speaking, the group of workers closest to him suddenly burst into an uproar. This uproar was rapidly spreading and spreading to all sides. The whole factory was noisy, so that in the end the factory owner also put away his unnecessary emotions. Indifferently watched the workers arguing and making noise.

After another period of time, the noise could not be answered and the demands could not be resolved, and they quieted down.

At this moment, the factory owner's face was filled with a hint of sneer, and what he treated these workers was also his own, but he quickly took it back.

"I will pay you the cost of what we produce as a salary."

"You can refuse to accept it, or even go to the trade union or the court to sue me. It just so happens that I can file for bankruptcy protection, and let's finish the game together!"

"If you are willing to accept it, go to the warehouse to collect your 'salary'!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the financial office, followed by an accountant and several management staff who started to soothe their emotions.

Anderson stood in the crowd like a puppet and drifted with the crowd. His mind was full of noises and tinnitus. The only thing he could think about at this moment was that the sky was falling.

In fact, he doesn't have to worry at all, because he will adapt quickly.

Some of the workers made a fuss, while others silently went to pick up the stocked goods. At least these things are one thing. As long as it is something, it has value. It is better than getting nothing at all, right?
Outside the warehouse, he took out a pen numbly and signed his name on the salary ledger, then looked at the three large boxes of household appliances beside him, his mind buzzing.

In the days to come... what should I do?
Anderson, who was carrying three boxes, had just walked out of the factory door when a strong wind blew, and suddenly something flew with the wind and covered his face.

He tore it down and opened it, but it was a common poster all over the street. A man with extraordinary appearance showed eight teeth and held a glittering advertising slogan - "Ai Rui Dai, a trace of Anu Dai"
