The small transport Magic Car gave a sharp screech as it stopped beside the Magic Refill Station.
Old man Sarkozy looked at the side of the road and was surprised to find that this remote and newly built Magic Refill Station was actually filled with people. There was even a group of people standing in the square outside the Magic Refill Station. He couldn't even drive the small transport Magic Car in to refill a single Magic Crystal.
"What is going on here?"
Old man Sarkozy got out of the car in a confused manner and slowly walked over.
Looking over the faces of the people gathered in the square, old man Sarkozy found that he actually recognized one of them.
This person was a citizen from a small city in the northwest of the Lampari Kingdom. When old man Sarkozy was transporting goods for the Armani Chamber of Commerce, he had accidentally met him.
"Why did this fellow come all the way here?"
Old man Sarkozy couldn't help being curious as he walked over to talk to him.
After asking around, old man Sarkozy learned that this person and the people in the square of the Magic Refill Station all came from the northwest province of the Lampari Kingdom.
Their destination was Noxus Town in the Norton Duchy. They were prepared to work at the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce's newly built Magic Air Conditioner factory in Noxus Town.
Old man Sarkozy was a bit surprised.
"If you want a job, can't you find one in the northwest province? Why did you come to a place as far away as the Norton Duchy?
This place is over two thousand kilometers away from the northwest province. "
The person old man Sarkozy was familiar with was called Laudsack, he was an old farmer who had been farming in the northwest province of the Lampari Kingdom for over thirty years. He gave a simple smile when he heard this and replied, "There are only a few factories in the northwest province and the boss is very black hearted. On the surface, they give quite a bit of wage, but actually they cut it all over the place. What we really get isn't even five gold coins a month.
This time the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce came to recruit workers and said that they would give us a wage of at least ten gold coins a month, so I came after thinking about it. "
"Less than five gold coins a month?" Old man Sarkozy raised a brow.
Old man Sarkozy raised a brow, "Which company dares to be this stingy?
There are still people willing to work for them? "
Laudsack gave a bitter laugh and shook his head, "Of course this isn't possible in your Banta City, but in our northwest province, this is a normal thing.
There are very few companies that are willing to invest in factories in our northwest province. If it wasn't for all the magic machine companies that appeared in the kingdom, there wouldn't be a company that came to our small city.
So for people like me, it's already good enough to have a job. How could I dare to be picky?
Besides, no matter what, this is much better than farming, isn't it? "
After saying this, Laudsack showed off the clothes he bought for eighty silver coins to old man Sarkozy with a proud look, saying that it was the best clothes he had ever worn.
Seeing the simple smile on Laudsack's face, old man Sarkozy couldn't help feeling emotional.
With the appearance of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, Banta City and the surrounding cities developed very quickly.
In just a few years, the living conditions of the people of Banta City had undergone a heaven shaking change.
Take old man Sarkozy as an example. In the past few decades, he had to work hard to pay his rent each year. Even like this, he didn't leave enough food for himself each year, so he often went hungry.
But since the New Flyer appeared, now that several years had passed, what old man Sarkozy was worried about was what kind of Magic Sedan he should buy.
As for the basic living requirements of eating and wearing clothes, he already didn't consider them.
Old man Sarkozy thought that everyone else would be like him, but now that he saw Laudsack, he found that there were many people in the Lampari Kingdom who were as poor as before. Not everyone could live as good a life as him.
Thinking of this, old man Sarkozy couldn't help feeling lucky.
It was a good thing that the New Flyer appeared in Banta City. If it appeared in another city or even another country, would he still be living a poor life like before?
Turning to ask the others, he found that although these people had different reasons from Laudsack, in general, it was because the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce gave them a higher wage that moved them.
Old man Sarkozy was still a bit surprised.
"If it's really for a higher wage, there are many companies in the Lampari Kingdom that you can choose from.
Not mentioning anything else, there isn't a single company in Banta City that gives a wage of less than ten gold coins a month.
Then because of the New Flyer, the benefits of these companies aren't bad, so why don't you consider them? "
Laudsack and the others looked at each other before revealing bitter smiles.
"There's no other way.
Although the Banta City companies give better wages and benefits, they have higher requirements.
People like us don't even have a Junior Skill Certificate, how can we enter those powerful Chambers of Commerce? "
Old man Sarkozy gave a sigh before slowly nodding.
Indeed, although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had spurred the magic machine companies in Banta City and the surrounding cities, allowing these companies to give good wages and benefits to their workers, they had also raised the standards of these companies for their workers.
If a normal worker wanted to enter a company in Banta City, they couldn't do it without some skills.
"That means ….. this Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce doesn't require skills?" Old man Sarkozy asked.
"I don't know. Anyway, when they recruited us, they just said that we were healthy and that we weren't sick or injured."
Old man Sarkozy said, "Then did they say what they wanted you to do?"
"They just said that it was some simple work that they could do with just a bit of teaching."
"Oh … …"
Old man Sarkozy nodded. He thought that the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce should only have a few simple assembly factories in the Norton Duchy and the components for the Magic Air Conditioner shouldn't be produced in the Norton Duchy.
Thinking about it, he felt that this was right.
The production process of the Magic Air Conditioner was very complicated, it required many steps and many components.
Other than the New Flyer that had a complete production system for the Magic Air Conditioner, the other companies didn't have this ability right now. They could only buy components from various factories and add in the parts they made themselves.
Moreover, the factories that produced the components were mainly gathered around the Black Rice Wasteland and Banta City. If they wanted to build a Magic Air Conditioner factory in the Norton Duchy like the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce, they could only ship the components here.
If they wanted to produce components in the Norton Duchy, they had to solve the various problems in terms of technology first.
Right now, other than the New Flyer, there wasn't a single company that could solve these problems.
Thinking of this, old man Sarkozy found that Laudsack coming to the Norton Duchy that was over two thousand kilometers away to find work was inevitable.
"This means ….. you're planning on working here for a few years?" Old man Sarkozy asked.
Laudsack nodded, "Un, if it's possible, I want to work here for a few years.
Look, I can earn at least ten gold coins a month and the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce has promised to take care of our food and lodging. As long as I save a bit, I can earn a hundred gold coins a year.
This is a large amount of money and after working here for a few years, I'll have everything. "
Old man Sarkozy replied with a smile. Although he felt that Laudsack was this excited for a trivial hundred gold coins a year, he really hadn't seen the world.
But thinking about how if he knew that he could earn a hundred gold coins a year a few years ago, he would have been several times more excited, so he understood.
The two chatted for a bit and Laudsack learned that old man Sarkozy had two transport Magic Cars. He could earn several hundred gold coins a year just by relying on these two transport Magic Cars, so he couldn't help feeling envious.
Old man Sarkozy comforted him by saying that as long as he saved money for a few years, he could buy a small or medium sized transport Magic Car and transport goods like him.
As long as he was willing to work hard, it wouldn't take long for him to earn several hundred gold coins a year like him.
Laudsack deeply thought of this.
So the two of them thought about their beautiful lives and became more and more agreeable.
But as it became late, the person in charge of recruiting Laudsack and the others to the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce told them to rest and set off tomorrow morning.
Old man Sarkozy looked at the sky and also felt that he should rest. The two agreed to find a chance to meet up in Noxus Town before going their separate ways.
Old man Sarkozy went to the Magic Refill Station first and filled up his small transport Magic Car with Magic Crystals. At the same time, he bought some daily necessities and food to ensure that he had enough supplies for the next few days.
Although this place was in the Mirando Duchy and wasn't that far from the Norton Duchy, being over two thousand kilometers away from the Principality of Constantine, the Magic Refill Station was no different from other Xinfei Magic Refill Stations. Not only was there a complete store, there was also a Magic Water Pump that provided clean running water.
Old man Sarkozy washed his face and rinsed his mouth. Seeing that the empty space in the Magic Refill Station was filled with Laudsack and the others, he prepared to go back to his small transport Magic Car to sleep.
When he came out of the toilet of the Magic Refill Station, he suddenly saw a group of people coming in.
The leading robust man swept his eyes over the workers lying on the ground in front of the Magic Refill Station and loudly shouted, "The Macalin Chamber of Commerce is recruiting, the lowest salary is twelve gold coins a month. If you're willing, come with me now!"
Old man Sarkozy was surprised before revealing a smile.
