In the second half of the celebration, the governor finally had time to talk to Lynch alone about some of his ideas.
"What do you think about bringing those Nagaleans back to the country?"
The governor looked tired. Since the afternoon, he had been wandering around various sponsors to thank them for their support, and then went through the most intense process of counting the votes.
After the results came out, the last of the tension suddenly relaxed, and a deep fatigue appeared on his face.
However, he still forced himself to sit with Lynch to discuss these issues. After this separation, he did not know when they would meet again. At most, they could only communicate over the phone.
Although they could communicate over the phone, some things were best said in person.
After the previous exchange with Lynch, he had some ideas. For example, using cheap Nagaleans labor to mix in with domestic factories to reduce the cost of restarting the business and help the enterprises to resume work as soon as possible.
This was also the idea of many entrepreneurs. When they heard that the Nagaleans only paid 20 to 30 dollars a month, they were completely shocked.
The workers in the country were paid at least two to three hundred dollars a month and various additional expenses. They could not work more than ten hours a day and had to have meat for a meal. From time to time, when they were in a bad mood, a round of general strikes or protests would break out. Sometimes, some business owners felt that they were the weaker party.
If they could use these Nagaleans to work for them, then there was no doubt that even the most unprofitable thing would be profitable.
The governor also felt that this was a good thing. The most important thing now was to resume work and get the factories operating. Once the factories were operating, it meant an increase in the financial figures, which would also make him look better.
So he discussed these things with Lynch, hoping to get the opinion of the "expert" Lynch.
Lin Qi, on the other hand, shook his head in disappointment. "That's not likely to happen, Governor. We need to know that every time we use a non-native labor force, it means that federal citizens lose a job opportunity."
"Regardless of whether the use of foreign labor complies with the provisions of the Constitution and the Federation's law on providing jobs, the workers' union and the unemployed workers alone can cause us new trouble. If another round of destructive demonstrations breaks out at this time, it will be disastrous for us."
The people at the bottom of the Federation had expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Federation government for providing money to help the Nagaleans, but they could not change this. Fortunately, some good news kept coming back, suppressing the anger of the people in despair.
At this time, some cheap Nagaleans were found to replace the domestic workers and take away their jobs, even though they were now unemployed.
This time, they would definitely not sit back and watch all of this happen. It was very likely that under the call of the workers' union, they would start a round of crazy demonstrations and even destructive demonstrations. When that time came, the governor who caused all of this to happen would become a sinner!
Hearing this, the governor apparently realized the problem. He then asked another question. "So is there a way to solve these problems? I mean, we can't let everyone go to Nagaleans to find a job, right?"
"I saw your interview in Euler's 90, and I know some of your thoughts. We can mobilize businessmen to go to Nagaleans to find opportunities for development, but what about ordinary people?"
In the governor's view, this might be an unsolvable problem. Businessmen could go out to find opportunities, they could open factories and trade, but what could ordinary people do?
Even if they could find suitable jobs, it was impossible for all of them to go out. There would still be a large number of people waiting for relief in the country.
Lynch shook his head again. "The natives of Nagalil are stupid. They have not received any advanced education. They have not even attended a technical school. They can only engage in the simplest production work. They can't do anything with even a little bit of technical content."
"In the next two to three years, there will be a large gap of technical jobs in Nagaleans. Although they are technical jobs, they are mainly lacking skilled workers."
"The job of these skilled workers is very simple. They are to set an example and teach the Nagaleans how to participate in the production process correctly. As long as they have three to five years of formal work experience in the country, there is no doubt that they will be able to find a job in Nagaleans."
"As for the other problem, I have repeated it more than once before. That is, let the Nagaleans feed our people."
"Four Nagaleans and one Federation worker, their monthly expenses are about six hundred dollars. Compared to using all the Federation workers, we can reduce the labor cost by about a thousand dollars. This is also the profit margin we can release."
"We can ensure that the various benefits that the Federation workers should enjoy do not change, and we can also release enough space to reduce the rigid requirements of profitability. Nagaleans have at least 100 million workers. They can feed all of us."
After listening, the governor asked, "What about work? Money can't come out of thin air. I also believe that Nagaleans can't have so much work for us. Otherwise, we don't have to go to Nagaleans to develop their country. We can just keep this part of the funds in the country."
Lynch stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the table. "There are countless opportunities in the world, Your Excellency."
"The defeated countries, the victorious countries, the neutral countries, any country that needs development and labor will become our customers. As long as an ordinary person has three to five or ten Nagaleans with cheap labor, they can work all over the world. Everyone is a boss!"
In fact, Lynch, or the labor market, was mainly in those countries that were at war.
A large number of young and strong people were sent to the battlefield by their countries not long ago and died there. This also caused a serious shortage of labor in many countries. Even women began to become the main source of labor.
At this time, the emergence of cheap labor would definitely become something that the governments of various countries urgently needed.
If it were not for the international ban on the slave trade, they might have carried out the slave trade on a national basis. But soon, Lynch would be able to solve these problems for them. The Federation's foremen and Nagaleans would soon be all over the world, plundering money and sending it back to the Federation. The Federation's economy was bound to prosper again.
Listening to Lynch talk about some of the details, the governor was very tempted. He asked, "If I want to achieve this, what should I do?"
Lynch leaned back slightly, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette. "Support me unconditionally!"
Just as Lynch and the governor were talking about how Nagaleans and the Federation could use Nagaleans to quickly return to economic prosperity, something was happening in Nagaleans.
"Why is my salary reduced by nearly half?!"
At a construction site, a Nagalean worker who was waiting in line to receive his salary suddenly shouted in dissatisfaction. Soon, people who were waiting in line to receive their salary also gathered around.
The worker was holding a salary slip in his hand. With this slip, he could get a day's salary from the accountant.
In the beginning, they worked at the construction site and received a salary of 121 Galil a day. It was not a particularly high salary. It could only be said that it was very ordinary. Most people who had a normal job could only earn that much in a day.
No one had much to say about it. At least it was a job. Many people could not earn that much in the past.
But the situation was getting worse these days.
The day before yesterday, his salary dropped from 121 Galil to 100 Galil. Yesterday, it dropped to 95 Galil. Today, the worker only had 78 Galil in his hand. He could no longer tolerate the decreasing salary.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, would it become even less? In the end, he would not get anything even if he worked for a day.
The young man was standing in front of the table where he received his salary. He was holding seventy-eight Galil notes and coins in his hand. He stared at the accountant behind the table and shouted, "Did you take my share?"
More and more people were affected by the young man's shout. Everyone ran over to ask others what happened, and then stood behind the young man to support him.
If the young man's salary was reduced, it meant that everyone's salary would be reduced again. A few hundred Galil may be nothing to the people of the Federation, but for the Nagaleans, it represented a day's worth of survival.
Twenty Galil was enough for them to buy some food. It was not a small amount of money!
Seeing more and more people gathered here, some Nagaleans who were obviously higher in status than ordinary workers rushed over from afar with sticks in their hands.
Using locals to manage the locals was a very effective method. Only when the locals were ruthless to the locals, the locals would not hate the foreigners. And the locals could indeed be ruthless to the locals. Those who could not be ruthless would not be able to help the foreigners manage the local workers.
The crowd was quickly dispersed by the sticks. When the people stopped making noise, the accountant slowly stood up. He looked at the natives with a contemptuous smile on his face.
He seemed to have thought of something, and he could not help but laugh twice. Then he said, "It's not that I deducted your salary, but the exchange rate between Galil and Federation sol has increased. In the past, 120 Galil could be exchanged for a Federation sol. Now, 78 Galil can be exchanged for a Federation sol."
"We are a foreign company, so the daily salary settlement is based on the Federation sol.
The Federation sol is not the legal currency here in Nagaleans, so in order to respect the law here and the sovereignty of the country, we will exchange the sol for Galil and settle it with you. "
"We are a legal company. How much you were paid before is how much you are paid now …"
