Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

Chapter 83 The Great Depression (2)

Lorraine is not a member of the Communist Party, so Lorraine is easy to buy. The great guardian is born for profit and changes the rules because of corruption. Praise the plane age, even if there is only 1% profit, they are willing to destroy another plane.

If Lorraine had blood, he must have come from a Jewish family.

Huang Xuan didn't even need to explain the pros and cons, Lorraine compromised, or he had already figured out the pros and cons.

However, from this point, Huang Xuan can also roughly understand this brain that will be 100,000 years later. This guy's imagination is basically similar to that of a smarter dog. Therefore, Mr. Lorraine likes the energy brought by profits, but he doesn't know how to get profits. Huang Xuan smiled very complacently, thinking that he and the low-intelligence guardian are really a perfect match - of course, it's just his fantasy .

Ford's current Model A cars are selling well, but during the transition period, the six-month-long suspension of production in 1927 did them a lot of damage - during this time, Henry Ford and his son, Ed Sell ​​Ford developed the A-type car in 6 months. Although it was still very fast, the forced transformation made Ford lose the throne of the world's number one automaker.

However, Ford still maintains their rouge car manufacturing center, which is Ford's ideal self-sufficient car city, where everything from raw materials to finished cars can be realized in the same place. Until a hundred years later, Rouge is still the world's largest car manufacturing center owned by a single car factory, and it is here that the widely circulated assembly line technology originated.

Now that the food was worthless, Huang Xuan had little interest in selling a batch of food cheaply. Detroit is a chaotic city, as well as a city of iron and blood. Here, Huang Xuan seemed to be infected as well - he found three thugs who were alone, robbed them of a suit of clothes, and raised a dollar.

That's enough to get to the rouge.

It is said that this place used to be the place where Ford lived when he was a child, with beautiful mountains and rivers, but in the 1930s, people who advocated productivity decorated the place with thick smoke. In normal production, 100,000 people work at the same time in Rouge, which can be described as a self-sufficient town.

Rouge is recruiting workers every day. During the Great Depression, Ford was one of the few companies that raised wages, especially the $5 work system proposed by Henry Ford, which is said to have raised wages by 100%. However, according to Huang Xuan's understanding, this was by no means a so-called contribution to the Great Depression, but to better stabilize skilled workers.

One only needs to look at the never-ending recruitment activities in front of factories to understand how mobile it is to maintain a total of tens of thousands of workers in an era when contract guarantees are not yet clear.

Mr. Ford probably recruits hundreds a day, and thousands if need be, at an expense and reduced productivity that justify higher wages.

And indeed it is.

Most of the workers standing next to Huang Xuan had thick arms and dull eyes. Ford only wanted skilled workers, and training talents might happen in the 1990s or 20s, but it definitely wouldn't happen in Dahua. depression.

In this era of countless factory bankruptcy, men with only strength can't get $5, but most people still want to try their luck.

A middle-aged man in a brown coat came out, stood outside the perennial recruitment notice, and shouted: He will come in with a milling machine. After saying that, he raised his head and left.

A dozen young white men walked in happily, and after a while, most of them came out dejectedly. Huang Xuan tried to ask people about Ford's technical department, but was disappointed to find that people thought the factory was the technical department.

But Huang Xuan is not in a hurry. On the one hand, he can stay for about 10 days this time. On the other hand, he has some doubts about what to bring home. He needs to observe carefully—the Great Depression was caused by overproduction It is caused by overproduction, but it is not always overproduction. From the data of Lorraine, we can know that the cheapest agricultural products in this era are the most difficult to obtain. When the farmer discovered that the transport of a sheep to the town When the cost is higher than the price of sheep, they will kill and throw it away without hesitation. The same is true for wheat and corn.

Someone asked very strangely, why not store these things and sell them after the price rises-it depends on whether the saved price exceeds the expected depression time of the farmer. No one knows when the Great Depression will end, nor Few people are willing to spend another sum of money to preserve these products. In fact, for a long time, most products were worthless.

And what these problems are related to Huang Xuan is that even if you have a lot of money, you can't buy the goods you want. This is the essence of the crisis, everything is out of touch with the law.

Soon someone shouted again that those who meet the requirements can get an interview opportunity, while Huang Xuan waited outside with most of the people.

Boy, what do you know? The speaker was a Hispanic-American man with a big beard and a talkative old man.

Maybe... Huang Xuan flipped his palms and said, Drive. His go-kart drove pretty well.

Every American can drive. The old man turned his head. He is a skilled worker. From his conversation, we can know that he has done a lot of work: ship berth, lathe, construction, but his age exceeds the bosses. Need, so in 1930, he joined the army of unemployed honorably.

Huang Xuanyang turned his head and looked outside. It was still some distance away from the outskirts of Detroit. The black guy who drove him here charged him 10 cents more for this. Except for the conspicuous gate in front of him, there were no places where he could enter the Ford factory. not much.

Huang Xuan felt that he could wait a little longer. He observed the well-groomed Americans around him, but the quality of life was obviously not high. If Americans in the 21st century were allowed to choose, 1931 must have been a more painful year than 1943. On this safe continent, people's fear of poverty was far higher than that of the Nazis.

Hi, kid. The Latin American uncle raised his big palm, patted Huang Xuan who was reading materials alone, and said, They need two drivers, which are rare, don't waste them.

Huang Xuan had no choice but to look away from the energy screen. The man in the brown coat was still recruiting. Huang Xuan grabbed the dense metal at the corner of his clothes and walked in.

There were almost 300 people competing for these two positions. A few strong and big men were eager to try, and the others followed suit not to be outdone.

We need two people to drive these two cars from Green Village to here every day, and we have to load and unload the goods by ourselves... The supervisor talked to himself, and the others listened very seriously. As soon as he finished speaking, someone yelled Said: I have been driving a car for 20 years, even if I send nitroglycerin, there is no problem..

Then why don't you deliver it? Someone immediately retorted, while Huang Xuan looked around.

This place belongs to the outskirts of Rouge, and the employees' access is one kilometer away. In front of Huang Xuan is a row of tall bungalows. Different from the dilapidated ones in the East District, the newly built Rouge factory area is brand new and modern. Although there is no bright glass structure, it is purely mechanical. The huge equipment still embodies strength.

When the job seekers were arguing, several white men in old-fashioned suits came over. The man in the coat immediately walked up and laughed loudly: Mr. Thomas, what do you need?

Several drafters, and skilled workers who can understand blueprints. Thomas looked around at everyone, and obviously noticed Huang Xuan. Among a group of 30-year-old barbarians, there was a thin-skinned tender meat The yellow-skinned guy is naturally eye-catching.

The brown coat agreed, ordering the hundreds of people in front of him to stay here, and go out to speak out by himself. In the Ford era, 35,000 people needed to be recruited every year to maintain the demand of 50,000 workers. In other words, 70% of the workers in the Ford factory left their jobs every year. The situation at other factories is similar, which is the main reason why Ford implemented the $5 system. Even so, the turnover of workers is still frequent, and the cost of recruiting skilled workers is far cheaper than training new apprentices.

Filipino? Thomas had nothing to do, walked up to Huang Xuan, and asked.

Almost. Huang Xuan was not interested in discussing nationality with others.

Not getting the expected answer, Thomas whistled, and said to his colleagues in black suits beside him, There are more and more smugglers now, it's really disgusting.

The other party shrugged, while Huang Xuan raised his eyebrows, ignoring the possible racist. Such animals are everywhere, and there is no time to play with them.

But another guy with a beard smiled obscenely and said, I bet he needs a job, he looks like he needs a job.

Looks like he's looking in the wrong place. Thomas grinned, too.

At this time, 5 more people came from a distance, and the leader laughed from a distance, saying: Maybe he needs it.

Oh, Julien, don't you need it?

Many people laughed. Huang Xuan knew what they were talking about, so he took out the remaining 5 cents from his pocket, flicked it with his thumb, threw it on the ground, hissed Thomas, and said, honky , it seems you need this.

Honky is a derogatory term for white people, just like white people say niggers. When black people despise white people, this word is usually used. As soon as Huang Xuan said this, the people present burst into laughter.

It's not because this sentence is really interesting, they just like to watch the excitement. Detroit is a city that advocates toughness. The game between workers is usually football, and the unprotected impact makes them feel refreshed. Huang Xuan said this to 8 white people, which will obviously cause a fight.

Except for the Ford guy, though, everyone else, black or white, stood on a neutral stance, waiting to see the show. Although the Ford guy was wearing a suit, his arms could still wrap around Huang Xuan's waist. It seemed that he had no chance.

Huang Xuan also knew that he couldn't beat the eight white men in front of him, but he still looked at Thomas and the others with contemptuous eyes, walked out of the crowd slowly, and said, I can knock you down with just two punches for 1 cent. you..
