When news of New Flyer's mass layoffs spread, it immediately shocked everyone in the nearby countries.
Although it was normal for companies to fire workers that they didn't need, for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to fire eighteen thousand workers at once, this was something that had never happened before.
Many people's first reaction when they heard this news was that New Flyer was done for.
Because under normal circumstances, a company would only engage in mass layoffs when they were in a declining state.
When a company was on the rise, they would only recruit a large number of employees to ensure that their business continued to grow.
But before this, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had been openly recruiting workers.
Even half a month ago, New Flyer was still using all its channels to recruit employees in the Principality of Constantine and the surrounding countries. So why did they suddenly fire so many employees in one go?
Was it just because of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's strike?
If they fired so many employees just because they went on strike, that would be too strict.
For a while, because of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's strike and large scale layoffs, the people of the surrounding countries began to fiercely discuss this matter. The various newspapers would publish articles discussing this matter every day, as well as reporting on the following developments.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce was the company that attracted the most attention in the surrounding countries, there was no other company that could compare. Now that these two things had happened, they had become the focus of everyone's attention.
However, for different people, the focus was different.
Most ordinary people were just watching the show, but those who had business dealings with New Flyer were more concerned about the impact these two events would have on New Flyer.
In particular, those who had placed orders with New Flyer were extremely worried.
New Flyer had always been lacking in production capacity. Now that they had fired more than 18,000 employees, it would inevitably greatly affect their normal production, and their production capacity would be even lower.
The facts were just as they expected. After the mass layoffs, New Flyer immediately sent an apology letter to all the customers who had placed orders. They said that because of the recent changes in the company, production would be affected, and the time to complete the orders would be pushed back.
The customers who received this letter could only helplessly accept it.
There was nothing they could do. Even though there were companies that produced large amounts of magic machines in the surrounding countries, apart from household magic machines, only New Flyer could produce the rest of the magic machines. They simply couldn't find another company to replace them.
Even in the field of household magic machines, the Frestech Brand was the highest grade household magic machine for humans, there wasn't anything that could compare to it.
When people bought household magic machines, they recognized Xinfei's brand and wouldn't buy anything else.
So even though New Flyer's production was affected and orders were delayed, most people still patiently waited for New Flyer to recover and didn't consider other brands of household magic machines.
Of course, there were still a small number of people who would consider buying other brands of household magic machines because they urgently needed them.
So after these two large matters happened at the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the household magic machine sales of the other brands all increased to different degrees.
Among these other brands of household magic machines, there were a few brands whose performance and quality were considered quite good after years of development. Even if they still couldn't compare to Xinfei's household magic machines, they had the advantage of being cheaper than Xinfei's household magic machines. Because of this, they gained the recognition of many people.
In conclusion, the two events in New Flyer had a huge impact on New Flyer, but it was a very good opportunity for the other companies that produced magic machines.
Moreover, for the other magic machine companies, compared to the temporary increase in sales, most of the companies were more focused on the eighteen thousand workers fired by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
These workers had worked in New Flyer for at least a year and were skilled workers. The fact that they could establish themselves in New Flyer proved that they had sufficient skills and experience. To the other companies, every one of them was a rare talent.
Therefore, after the news of New Flyer's dismissal of the 18,000 workers spread, countless people swarmed into the Principality of Constantine to find the workers who had been fired by New Flyer and snatched them away.
In just half a month, the eighteen thousand workers that had been fired by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had all found jobs.
Because when the Frestech Chamber of Commerce fired these workers, they gave each worker a minimum of fifty gold coins as compensation, so these workers didn't suffer any material losses. They smoothly went from being workers of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to being workers of other companies.
Moreover, because of the competition between the companies, when the workers who had been fired entered other companies, their wages were even higher than the wages they received at the Frestech Chamber of Commerce!
Compared to when they were at New Flyer, perhaps it was even more advantageous.
For a while, there were many New Flyer workers who weren't on the list of fired workers that had their hearts moved because of this.
"Hey, Archie, you really won't consider it?"
A youth with a waxy yellow face stopped Archie who had just left home and asked this with an expectant look.
"The Domino Chamber of Commerce's monthly wage is much higher than New Flyer's, they're giving me 25 gold coins a month!
You've already passed the second level welder certificate, so if you go with me, you'll definitely get more than me. You might even get 30 gold coins! "
Archie knit his brows and impatiently waved his hand as he said with a cold snort, "I'm not going.
Luther, you can go if you want, don't keep pulling me along.
Do you really think I don't know?
The Domino Chamber of Commerce has given you a condition in private. As long as you pull in a single person for their company, they'll give you ten gold coins.
Isn't that right? "
The youth called Luther immediately revealed an aggrieved appearance as he loudly shouted, "The Domino Chamber of Commerce has indeed said this, but god above, Archie, I want you to go because you're my friend and I hope you can be with me!
If you're willing to come, I'll give you the ten gold coins the Domino Chamber of Commerce gave me and I won't keep a single copper coin!
How about it?
Isn't this enough to show my sincerity? "
"Then I won't go." Archie coldly said.
"I'm doing very well at New Flyer, I've never thought of going to another company.
As for you, Luther, since you treat me as a friend, then I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't look at how you can get a higher monthly wage at the Domino Chamber of Commerce, but have you thought about what will happen in the future?
Can the Domino Chamber of Commerce compare to New Flyer?
Can you get the same benefits at the Domino Chamber of Commerce as you do at New Flyer?
Can you even get a pension when you're old and can't move anymore? "
Luther curled his lips, "Che, you think you can get it by staying at New Flyer?
Don't look at how good New Flyer sounds, who knows how long New Flyer will last. It might even close down tomorrow. "
Archie knit his brows and angrily said, "Luther, don't think that you can curse New Flyer as you wish just because you left it!
I know that you're holding a grudge because you were fired by New Flyer, but I've advised you before to not follow those fellows to cause trouble.
Now that you've been fired by New Flyer because of your own trouble, could it be that you're blaming others? "
Luther's neck stiffened as he shouted with a straight face, "So what if I want a better treatment?
Can't I do that?
Why can those dwarves have such good treatment and we human workers can't?
If it was up to me, it's sir chairman being biased!
He protects the other races in the company, but he doesn't care about us human workers!
Can he still be considered human? "
Seeing Luther's agitated appearance, Archie calmed down.
Narrowing his eyes to look at Luther for a while, Archie calmly continued, "Luther, in your Magic Air Conditioner workshop, there are three dwarven workers, right?"
"That's right, it's because the three dwarven workers have better wages and other benefits than the other human workers in our workshop that I can't accept it.
If sir chairman gave us the same treatment, how could we cause trouble?
Based on what can they be treated better than us when everyone is doing the same work? "Luther said with an angry look.
Archie gave a cold laugh, "Luther, if I didn't remember incorrectly, the weakest of the three dwarven workers in your workshop has a Fourth Level Certificate and they have more than one job, right?"
Luther gave a snort, "So what?"
"Then what about you?" Archie gave another cold laugh.
Archie gave a cold laugh, "You haven't even passed the second level welder exam, right?"
Luther's face turned a bit red before he angrily said, "What?
You want to laugh at me?
Don't think that you can laugh at me just because you passed the second level welder exam?
You aren't that much better than me, alright? "
Archie shook his head, "I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about the three dwarven workers.
You can't even pass the second level welder exam, but you want to be treated the same as the dwarven workers who have a fourth level certificate, do you really not feel embarrassed? "
Luther's expression froze. After pausing, he angrily waved his hand and loudly said, "Hey!
Archie, whose side are you on?
Could it be that you're the same as sir chairman, speaking up for the dwarves?
Are you still human?
Are you still my friend?
Ah? "
Archie looked at Luther and said word for word, "I am human, but I stand on the side of reason.
Sir chairman has already said that the stronger you are, the better you are treated. It is the same for all workers, whether it is human or other races.
As for you ….. Luther, if you keep pestering me like this, then ….. let's break off our friendship. "
"Break off our friendship?"
Luther looked at Archie in a daze and couldn't help taking two steps back. He pointed at Archie and said in a trembling voice, "You ….. You actually want to protect the dwarves and ….. you want to break off our friendship?
We ….. We are friends who grew up together ….. "
Archie's expression relaxed a bit. After being silent for a bit, he gave a soft sigh and walked over to pat Luther's shoulder.
"Luther, if you don't have a good time at the Domino Chamber of Commerce, try to find a way to come back.
Believe me, New Flyer has more prospects than any other company. Being assured here is much better than being in any other company. "
Without waiting for Luther to say anything else, he turned to leave.
Luther watched Archie leave in a daze. After a while, a trace of anger filled his heart and he gave a strong snort before turning to walk in another direction.
The Domino Chamber of Commerce had agreed that as long as he could pull in a worker from New Flyer, they would privately give him fifty gold coins as a reward.
If Archie didn't agree, he had to quickly find someone else.
