Volume 5 Chapter 56 Stealing people
The large man’s voice woke up the people who were prepared to sleep. Including Laudsack, their group looked at the large man in surprise with a bit of vigilance on their faces, as well as a bit of expectation.
Twelve gold coins a month, that was two gold coins more than the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce.
Those two gold coins in the northwest province were enough for a family to not worry about food for an entire month.
There was a cold snort that came from the crowd and there was a middle aged man who was around forty years old that came out.
Whether it was his aura or his clothing, this middle aged man was clearly different from Laudsack and the workers recruited.
OId man Sarkozy took a look and guessed that this should be the person in charge of them from the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce Laudsack had mentioned, manager Yodel.
Yodel came to the front of the group and looked over them with cold eyes, finally landing his gaze on the large man. He said in a cold voice, “What? Does the Macalin Chamber of Commerce not follow the rules?”
“Rules?” The large man gave a cold laugh, “How are we not following the rules? These people haven’t become workers of your Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce yet, right?”
“They have already signed the contract with our company, how aren’t they our staff?” Yodel angrily said.
“Oh? What contract? Let me have a look.” The large man stretched his hand out.
“Pei! What kind of thing are you! How are you qualified?” Yodel immediately said in an angry voice.
The large man wasn’t angry as he said with a smile, “There’s nothing if you don’t take it out. Since it’s like this, we are fair compet.i.tors, there’s nothing that breaks the rules at all.”
He ignored Yodel after saying this and turned to the confused workers to say in a loud voice, “Did you hear it clearly just now? As long as you choose to join our Macalin Chamber of Commerce, we will guarantee a minimum of twelve gold coins a month.”
After saying this, he turned back to Yodel and gave a laugh, “This is much better than the ten gold coins the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce is giving you. Moreover, our sir chairman has said that as long as you do well, your wage can even rise.”
Yodel was very angry in his heart, but he also became vigilant.
This fellow knew what wage their company was giving these workers and had intercepted them right when they were about to enter the Noroton Chamber of Commerce. He had brought all these people along with him as well, so it was clear that he was prepared.
On the contrary, whether it was Yodel or the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce, they never expected another company to be here, so they weren’t prepared to deal with them at all.
If this was the Lampuri Kingdom, with the influence of the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce, he had a hundred ways to deal with them. However, this was the Mirando Duchy that was two thousand kilometers away from the Lampuri Kingdom and the Macalin Chamber of Commerce was a famous large company in the Mirando Duchy. Their influence here wasn’t at the same level, so naturally he couldn’t resist.
While Yodel was still thinking about how to deal with this, the people of the Macalin Chamber of Commerce had already begun trying to convince the workers.
Based on the words they used, not only did the Macalin Chamber of Commerce give better wages, they even gave better benefits. It was all without a doubt more attractive than what the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce offered.
The only thing that made the workers hesitate was that this Macalin Chamber of Commerce was a Mirando Duchy company and the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce was a Lampuri Kingdom company. There was no doubt that they weren’t as familiar with them.
But when the people of the Macalin Chamber of Commerce told them they would be working in the Mirando Duchy and wouldn’t need to head to the further Norton Duchy, more people seemed like they were moved.
Seeing that many of the workers were about to be convinced by the Macalin Chamber of Commerce, Yodel was feeling very anxious.
But he was only a vice manager in the human resource department of the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce, he didn’t have that much authority, so naturally he couldn’t do much.
Feeling helpless, he could only say to the workers, “Don’t be fooled by this Macalin Chamber of Commerce. Don’t look at their good words, when you actually enter the company, they might not fulfill this promise. Don’t forget what you encountered in the northwest province before.”
Hearing this, the workers began to hesitate again.
It was very likely what Yodel described would happen and after suffering in the northwest province, they were very vigilant.
On the other hand, because the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce was an Anvilmar City company and they cooperated with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they were more trustworthy.
Seeing that the workers were faltering again, the large man gave a cold snort. He took out a doc.u.ment from his chest to wave and loudly said, “Don’t listen to this fellow’s words. Let me tell you all, our Macalin Chamber of Commerce is a first cla.s.s company in the Mirando Duchy, we’ve received the recognition of the duke himself. Moreover, just last month, we signed a cooperation contract with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to open five companies in our duchy with them. Otherwise, do you think we would lack people?”
Hearing that this Macalin Chamber of Commerce was also cooperating with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the doubtful looks on the faces of the workers relaxed.
Since this Macalin Chamber of Commerce received the recognition of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they wouldn’t be a small company that tricked workers and would at least be reliable in the terms they offered.
Yodel was also very surprised. He never expected the Macalin Chamber of Commerce to be one of the Frestech Chamber of commerce’s partners in the Mirando Duchy.
This meant that the Macalin Chamber of Commerce was one of the top companies in the Mirando Duchy, otherwise they wouldn’t have been chosen by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
But as the matter stands, this gave the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce no advantages in front of the Macalin Chamber of Commerce. The only thing they could compete in was the wages and benefits they gave the workers.
And in this regard, because Yodel didn’t have any rights, he couldn’t make any more pledges to the workers and was very pa.s.sive.
“Don’t forget! You have all signed contracts with our company! If you don’t come with us, you’ll be breaking the contract!” In his desperation, Yodel could only take out the contracts.
However, these contracts for the workers that didn’t really know about the laws didn’t have any binding force at all.
Moreover, after hearing Yodel’s threat, the man from the Macalin Chamber of Commerce waved his hand with a smile, “You don’t need to worry. Even if you break the contract, our Macalin Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay the compensation for you. I think…..that your compensation shouldn’t be that high, right?”
The final words were directed at Yodel.
Yodel looked at him with a gaze that was filled with rage, “I say, why do you want to steal these workers from us? They are not highly skilled workers from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, is this worth you doing this?”
“Of course.” The large man said with a nod, “There are only workers that are used to working with magic machines from Ampriston Town in our duchy, there’s no other place with workers. Although these workers aren’t that skilled, at least they’ve done this work and can learn easily. We can’t steal the highly skilled workers from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so these people are very important to us.”
Yodel didn’t have anything to say to this because he knew that this large man was correct.
The Mirando Duchy was different from the Lampuri Kingdom with a firm magic machine industry structure where they could find workers skilled in working with magic machines all over. It had only been a year since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce started in Ampriston Town, so the magic machine industry hadn’t spread across the entire Mirando Duchy yet, so naturally it was hard to find skilled people.
But this didn’t mean that Yodel would just give away these workers. Seeing that these workers were being more and more persuaded by the Macalin Chamber of Commerce and there were even two workers who stood up, preparing to go with the Macalin Chamber of Commerce’s people, Yodel was very anxious, but he couldn’t think of a way to solve this.
The man from the Macalin Chamber of Commerce looked at Yodel and revealed a proud smile.
“I say, there’s no need to be in such a rush. Anyway, your Anke Magic Chamber of commerce is from the Lampuri Kingdom, you can find more skilled workers from the Lampuri Kingdom at any time. Just give this group of people to our Macalin Chamber of Commerce, we will definitely thank you in the future.”
“Who needs your thanks!” Yodel cursed in his heart. After thinking about it, his face turned cold and he reached into his chest, planning on using his final method.
But at this time, there was a clear voice that wasn’t too loud that came from the Magic Refill Station that rang through the crowd.
“There’s no problem if you need workers, but to steal them from other companies, that is a bit too much. This peer from the Macalin Chamber of Commerce, please tell your chairman Segula that I’m not happy about your approach at all.”
The people from the Macalin Chamber of Commerce were stunned.
Who was this fellow? His tone was this big?
He actually said……he wasn’t happy about their approach at all?
So what if he wasn’t happy, who cared if he was happy or not?
Only that large man’s face changed as if he thought of something.
And after Yodel heard this voice, after being surprised, there was a look of wild joy on his face.
He never thought that this great person would appear here. As long as he supported him, that meant all the problems would be easily solved!
Old man Sarkozy who was watching the fun on the side was also stunned when he heard this voice before his expression became strange.
He never thought that at this remote Magic Refill Station, he would b.u.mp into an acquaintance and also see a play.
The most important thing was that the had b.u.mped into him!
