Chapter 127: The fall of Leifeng Pagoda
Father's silk stockings factory is hiring women.
The news immediately set off a huge storm in Westwind town as soon as the news came out.
Robb's reputation in Westwind Town is first-class, countless times better than the mayor and the others.
Working for Robb is synonymous with a "high salary."
The "female staff recruitment conference" of the silk stockings factory instantly became the topic in Westwind Town.
Robb didn't care about it much. He just went to the recruitment conference and, as usual, slumped on his stool.
Lillian prepared the Coca-Cola and Lays potato chips nearby, and as soon as Robb opened his mouth, Lillian fed some of them to Robb. Occasionally, he pretended to be careless and licked Lillian's hand, which Lillian foolishly did not notice.
But even if she did notice it, she couldn't resist.
But it would be meaningless to lick her hand like that openly. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine. A concubine is better than stealing. It is better not to steal.
Robb only secretly took advantage of Lillian and didnt do it with obvious intentions.
The factory director set up a long table next to Robb's lazy spot, and one by one, the women who applied fell in line.
However, the number of women who applied for the job completely exceeded expectations.
At the beginning of the construction of this factory, there were less than a thousand townspeople in Westwind Town, and there were only two to three hundred women who were suitable to work in the factory. Hence, the factory director was not worried about it at all. So, he just called all the women in town to help.
The silk stockings factory recruited a total of 100 female weavers and 100 stocking seamstresses. The four female workers who had been recruited at the beginning were now magnificently promoted to technical supervisors, responsible for guiding the work of these 200 female workers. A four-level personnel hierarchy was formed instantly in the small factory.
The highest, of course, is chairman Robb, followed by CEO factory director, followed by the four technical supervisors and old hunters who guide spider breeders. The lowest are 200 new female workers, spider breeders, and warehouse keepers.
In order to keep his position, the factory director showed a ruthless look fitting for a capitalist. On the second day after the job conference, he let all the female workers go all out to produce silk stockings.
Who says the ancients werent wise?
The factory director tried hard to figure out how to make more money and secure his position with Robb. He soon invented the "last-one out system," wherein the female worker with the lowest production efficiency of that month will have her salary deducted by 10%.
The great wheel of capitalism has started moving its wheels and cannot be stopped.
However, since the population of Westwind Town is too small. Its difficult to promote capitalism normally, so Robb urgently needs more population.
October 15, late fall. The smell of winter began to flow.
The traveling merchant came again while taking away many silk stockings made by the factory. He also brought the news that is difficult for the people to process whether to be happy or not to be - the black dragon appeared!
However, it did not come to the Kingdom of Gran this year but appeared in Big Tang, tearing down the famous "Leifeng Pagoda, ransacking all the treasures inside. Master Fahai, the rabbit monk responsible for guarding the tower, was killed. Thousands of rabbitmen died bravely in order to protect their homeland. It is said that when the pagoda fell, the monsters suppressed under it flew out together, and strange cries of terror shook in a radius of ten miles.
Poor Leifeng Pagoda has become history.
After hearing the news, Robb did not know whether to cry or laugh. For the first time that day, instead of being lazy on his stone stool, he stood up and walked to the fence on the edge of the courtyard. He looked down at the sky with his hand and recited in a leisurely tone, "I have heard that Leifeng Pagoda has fallen. I have not seen it in person, but I have seen the unfallen Leifeng Pagoda, shabby, hidden between lakes and mountains."
He still hasn't forgotten the literary work he learned in middle school. Robb felt a tad homesick because of it.
