Cosma Empire

Mr. Juan's assets were frozen and the first to be affected were the guys he hired. It was not easy to survive in Illian, and they suddenly lost a job that they thought they could work for a lifetime, which made them very troubled. No one knows when Mr. Juan's assets will be unfrozen this time. If they find a workshop and bar outside and can operate again, will they come back or not?

If you come back, you will definitely offend someone, and you may have to pay part of the liquidated damages for it.

not coming back? If Mr. Juan is in a hurry to start work and recruit a new group of people, wouldn't it mean that they will lose their stable jobs?

This is really a headache, and what is even more troublesome is that the winter break is coming, and this month's wages have not yet been paid, which means that they may have to spend only two months before the winter break. Take some temporary work for very little pay. During the next winter break, they may have to suffer from hunger.

"It's not a good idea to gather around here, leaving one person here to wait for the news, let's go to the port to see if there are any good temporary workers we can do!", it was Rhodes, the administrator of the workshop, who spoke, He is almost sixty years old this year, and he has worked here with Juan all his life, so he can be regarded as a highly respected person. With his words, the young people walked towards the port one after another.

At this time, where is the port still hot when the weather is the hottest in summer? The damp sea breeze brings the chill of autumn, even if you wear an extra layer of clothes, you can't stop the chill. There were not many yelling businessmen on the empty pier, and those businessmen also started to withdraw at this time, and they will come again after the beginning of spring tomorrow.

The sudden appearance of a large group of people on the pier attracted the attention of many people. Immediately, merchants came over to sell their products, and the prices were almost one-third lower than before. Bringing these commodities back not only requires a lot of travel expenses, but also squeezes out the liquidity of merchants. By the beginning of spring next year, these commodities in their hands may already be out of date, plus three trips to travel expenses, it is estimated that if they sell one, they will lose one.

It's better to cut prices, even if you don't make money, it's better than losing money.

"Do you hire people to work? The kind with daily salary!" Rhodes was the oldest and had the highest status in this group. He first asked this question on behalf of everyone.

The enthusiasm of the businessmen like a tide receded in an instant. Many people shook their heads and left, but some stayed.

One of the furniture sellers asked, "How much do you plan to spend as a coolie?" Several workers discussed with Rhodes for a while, and offered a wage of one yuan and five a day. The businessman shook his head, "It's too expensive. I can only give you one yuan and two. If you want to do it, leave a few people behind. If you don't want to do it, please do it."

Burning 20% ​​at once is indeed unacceptable. The money they asked for is actually not that high. Some people left angrily, but some stayed.

"What do you need us to do?"

The businessman smiled and pointed to the cargo wrapped in canvas like a hill on the pier in the distance and said: "Send these things to the fifth district, how to send them are up to you, ten people will deliver them in three days!", these It is obviously not cost-effective to bring furniture back. Compared with the previous three districts, the consumption power of the fifth district is more prominent in this kind of necessary household furnishings.

Rhodes just glanced at it, his beard trembling with anger, "How is it possible? Even with a truck, it will take a day, and you don't have a truck yet."

"Do you want to do it or not?" The businessman curled his lips indifferently, "If you don't do it, we will find the coolies on the pier. The price is the same, but they don't have so much to say."

Looking at the heavy cargo like a hill, Rhodes could only sigh. Three days, maybe three days, at least it can solve the food problem for some people during this period. He turned around and looked at the strong boys behind him, "Whoever has more money should go first, let's be considerate to each other."

A few boys stood up from the crowd in some embarrassment and embarrassment, and walked aside to discuss with the businessman.

Soon this group of people was divided up, except for Rhodes who did not have a job.

He is considered a middle-level cadre under Juan, and he is somewhat valuable. He lives in the fourth district, and there is no shortage of two months' salary for the winter break. What he was worried about were those young lads. They didn't have much savings, and their families used money all the time, so he stayed.

Just as he sighed and was about to leave, the young man who stayed behind ran over panting. He stopped in front of Rhodes, put his hands on his knees, bent over, panted, pointed to the place he came from and said, "There...someone is looking for you over there, Grandpa Rhodes."

The joy flashed across Rhodes' face, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it Master Juan's man?"

The guy breathed a little better, straightened his back and shook his head, and replied, "No, it's Mr. 350,000!"

When James knew that Juan's assets had been frozen, he immediately sold the liquor license to Doolin at the market price without any discount. James hinted that he could give less, but Du Lin didn't do that. Money has great magic power, and any money exchange is normal and legal when nothing happens to you. But when someone wants to give you a little color and trouble you, even if you give less than one dollar, it may become an excuse-there is no data in the short sentence below the market price, you can see this short sentence Everyone knows what this "means".

The first thing Du Lin did after he got the liquor license was to resume the brewing of liquor as soon as possible. He used to import all the liquor from the Federation, and he didn't know the specific brewing method in this world, so he had to use Juan's proficiency. All the workers were recruited under his command, and he didn't have time to hire new ones one by one.

Rhodes was outside the door of their workshop when he saw Mr. 350,000. Durin was looking at the equipment inside through the window. Rhodes walked over lightly, but not so lightly. can not hear.

"Does Illian sell all these things?" Du Lin pointed to the wine-making equipment inside.

Rhodes didn't know the reason for Du Lin's visit, but he knew that he couldn't offend any rich people, so he nodded respectfully, "Most of these things can be bought, except for a few homemade things that can't be bought. It is a finished product, but it can also be made by a blacksmith."

Du Lin nodded, as long as he can buy it, he turned around and stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Rhodes actively, "You are Rhodes, right? I've heard of you." It's not a hypocritical greeting, he has really heard of this guy. He is Juan's friend, and they were apprentices in the previous workshop together. Later, he seized the property of the workshop owner and let the owner drown in a very coincidental accident. After that, he took over the workshop, and his former "colleagues" .

Rhodes has been the only one who has dismissed or fired quite a few people. Rhodes is a very down-to-earth person, and he doesn't have any fancy ideas. If this kind of person starts a business, he is doomed, but it is good to be conservative. In recent years, Juan has completely let Rhodes manage his workshop. It can be said that half of the money in his hand is actually earned by Rhodes for him.

Rhodes also felt that he was honored by a big man who complimented him so much. After he humbly said that it was someone else's appreciation, he asked Du Lin's reason for coming, "You mean...Mr. Juan is finished?"

Du Lin laughed twice, didn't say yes, and didn't accept no, but his attitude has already shown everything, "Juan mortgaged the workshop and the bar to the Imperial Bank, and now his assets are frozen, and he cannot Redeem these workshops and bars within the stipulated date, so these things are already the things of the bank.”

Rhodes suddenly panicked. He has been working in wine making all his life and he can't do other things. His son and son-in-law are also workers under him. The whole family can only make wine. Wouldn't it be nice to hear this news suddenly? Say the whole family will lose their jobs?

Du Lin was very satisfied with the change in Rhodes' expression. He likes people without a city government, so he quickly explained what he meant, "I bought a liquor license from the bank and plan to continue making and selling liquor. I don’t know much about this industry, so I need skilled and reliable workers, and they recommended you to me. I wonder if you would like to work for me? In terms of salary, refer to the figure given to you by Juan, every week.”

At this time, Rhodes's mind was full of his family's unemployment. Hearing Du Lin's words was like a drowning swimmer who touched a sewing thread and wished he could climb up along the thread.

Rhodes looked joyful, "Of course I do, it's my honor, Mr. Dulin!\

,"With the help of Rhodes, Du Lin quickly taught Rhodes everything to do. His only requirement was that the winery must be large and the output must be high, and it must get rid of the scale and output of the "workshop".

Rhodes has no objection to this point. Anyway, a barrel of wine is brewed, a hundred barrels, and ten thousand barrels are also brewed. He immediately sent people to gather his workers and discussed with Du Lin about building a factory.

After recruiting the skilled workers in Juan's Brewing Workshop, Du Lin did not recruit those people in his bar. First, the atmosphere in the bar was different from that in the workshop. Some things were not easy to deal with. People are going to make a fuss, so they don't recruit anyone at all. Secondly, Doolin plans to mobilize some people from Tenell to run the bar and start the intelligence business at the same time.

There are two kinds of businesses in this world that do not require any capital but can make a lot of money. The first is robbery, and the second is intelligence trading.

Once his alcohol poured into all parts of the empire, he would then be able to spread his tentacles to the entire empire. There must be someone he can trust to do this, and Juan and those people cannot be trusted!
