Reborn with wealth that rivals the country.

Chapter 2516: Unable to Hold On, Retreat

On that day, the Monkey Kingdom high-speed rail project, which had finally entered the construction stage after a long period of trouble, caused trouble again!

More than 5000 workers raised the banner of strike. They sat in a makeshift tent near the factory and expressed their demands: higher wages and shorter working hours.

There are different opinions about salaries, but all of them require a doubling of growth.

Even though the Sakura Country had given them a salary increase before, and the salary was about three times the local average, the three brothers were still not satisfied.

However, the wage dispute is just the tip of the iceberg of this strike.

The workers also demanded a reduction in working hours.

They demanded a reduction from 48 hours per week to 35 hours, that is, 7 hours per day and 5 days per week.

This requirement is undoubtedly unacceptable to the Sakura Country, which pursues efficiency.

After all, even if the Sakura Country is carrying out high-speed rail projects in its own country, workers still have to work 40 hours a week, and the advantage of the Monkey Country's workers lies in their cheap labor.

After the workers made such a fuss, Honda Shigeru, the person in charge of the high-speed rail project in Sakura Country, could no longer bear it.

"Noise, noise, noise again!!! Why are these Indians like locusts, only thinking about taking advantage and not doing any work! How much money have they invested now?

There is almost no progress!!!

“Huh~~~~”

Honda Shigeru's whole body turned red and he used his hands to fan himself to cool down.

But he knew that now was not the time to confront this group of Indians head-on.

The exchange rate market in the Sakura Country has been very unstable recently. Once the high-speed rail project is suspended, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the Sakura Coin.

So Honda Shigeru could only flatter and smile as he personally negotiated with the Indian strike organizers.

This strike was not organized spontaneously by the workers, but was directed by the trade union.

This so-called "Shenhou High-Speed ​​Rail Project Union" was set up suddenly and claims to be an anti-exploitation organization.

But Honda Shigeru himself is a capitalist. His own company also has a union, and he himself has even held an important position in the union. He knows too well what this hypocritical union is.

Whether in the Kingdom of Hegemony, the Kingdom of Sakura, or the Kingdom of Monkey God, these trade unions increase their visibility and influence by inciting workers to strike, while collecting workers' membership fees and demanding benefits from construction parties.

After listening to the workers' demands, Honda Shigeru said with a smile: "Dear Monkey Kingdom brothers, there is some room for negotiation on the issue of salary increase, but the salary has just doubled, and now it is a bit too much to ask for a doubling again."

"And only 35 hours a week, not to mention that it doesn't fit the conditions of the Monkey Kingdom, even the Hegemony Kingdom, the country with the best welfare in the world, doesn't have this kind of treatment!!!"

“The salary we offer is definitely the highest in the industry, and safety and benefits are also part of the salary package. Have you ever seen a project safer than ours?

We have the Monkey King Army directly taking over the guard duties here!"

“Who says we only ask for salary and working hours?”

"That's right! This is totally different!"

"Increase salary and reduce working hours. Those are just basic requirements. We haven't even mentioned our most important request yet!"

"..."

Honda is so confused!

Any more requests?

Damn, isn’t it enough to just increase wages and reduce working hours?

"What else do you want?"

Honda Shigeru asked.

However, the request made by the three brothers surprised Honda Shigeru.

“We demand that our positions be hereditary!”

"Yes, for example, when I am old and retire, I can designate my family members to inherit my position. Or if I die in an accident, whether or not I died in the line of duty, other family members must be allowed to take my place!"

"Only this can be considered a real guarantee for us! Otherwise, you can fire anyone you want. What kind of guarantee is that?"

"That's right!"

"If you want to make a promise, make it to the end!"

"..."

Listening to the speeches of the Monkey King workers, Honda's eyes turned red again.

This demand undoubtedly challenges the employment system of modern enterprises and makes people feel like they have traveled back to ancient times.

A hereditary position?

What a joke! ! !

A bunch of untouchables, do you really think there is a throne in your family?

But there is much more to Honda Shigeharu than this.

The workers also demanded that the Sakura Country provide subsidies or fully reimburse their children for private schools!!!

This request was even more unbelievable to Honda Shigeru.

In the Monkey Kingdom, there are only a limited number of families that can afford private schools, and asking a company to pay for the expensive tuition fees of private schools is unheard of!!!

Even companies like Pingguo and Guge, which offer the best welfare benefits, will not reimburse a single penny for their employees' children's schooling.

Honda Shigeru had no way of agreeing to this, so he could only grit his teeth and report the matter to his superiors.

Fumio Abe's office.

At this time, Fumio Abe was engaging in fierce currency hedging operations with Chen Mo.

The exchange rate of Sakura Coin has just stabilized.

Fumio Abe just breathed a sigh of relief.

Abe Fumio was stunned by a phone call from Honda Shigeru.

Honda Shigeru: "Lord Emperor, the workers of the Monkey Kingdom are on strike again!!!"

Abe Fumio said irritably: "What do they want to do now?! From the beginning of this crappy project to now, they have been making a small fuss every three days and a big fuss every five days. They never stop!"

Honda Shigeru: "They want to double their wages and reduce working hours to 35 hours a week."

Abe Fumio was furious when he heard this: "What the hell are you thinking? They want to raise wages and reduce working hours at the same time. Do they think we are inviting them to go on vacation?!"

At this moment, Fumio Abe felt that even the very tough bully workers looked very cute when compared with the monkey workers.

Not to mention the hardworking workers of Daxia.

Fumio Abe is now very sure that he has been fooled by Chen Mo.

This high-speed rail project in the Monkey Kingdom is a fucking pit!!!

After cooperating with the Monkey King, Abe Fumio realized that the Monkey King Kingdom is actually a robbery country!

If you dare to invest a lot of money, you will not withdraw easily after losing a little money. He knows this and will test your bottom line again and again. If you reluctantly cut your losses and withdraw, then the factory and equipment will be mine, and I will amend the law to fine you a large sum before you withdraw!

But Abe Fumio changed his mind, sighed and compromised: "Increase the salary a little, reduce the working hours a little, stabilize these garbage first, and don't let the project stop."

The exchange rate of Sakura Coin is so unstable now. Once the high-speed rail project is suspended, it will definitely be bad for Sakura Coin! !

At this time, the most important thing is to lose a little money and maintain the overall situation.

"But Lord Emperor... they not only ask for a pay raise and reduced working hours, they also... they also ask for..."

Honda Shigeru stammered and didn't dare to say any more.

"What else do you want? Say it all in one breath! I'm busy here!!"

Fumio Abe roared.

"They also demanded that jobs be hereditary and that we reimburse their children for private school fees..."

Honda Shigeru said cautiously.

"Assholes!!! A bunch of locusts, vampires, and ungrateful pigs!!!"

Fumio Abe smashed the computer in front of him with a bang!

Raising wages and reducing working hours are all negotiable, and are nothing more than bargaining. But inheriting a position and reimbursing children's private school fees... isn't this too much?

Even Fumio Abe doesn’t understand what these three guys are thinking!

Who gave them the courage to make such unreasonable demands?

Fumio Abe has finally realized that a large population does not necessarily mean high work efficiency. How can a group of stinky people who never wash their hands or take a bath work hard?

"Why is it at this time..."

Abe Fumio said with a headache.

To agree or not to agree?

If you don't agree, there will definitely be a wave of bad news for Sakura Coin, and people all over the world will know that the GDP of Sakura Country will definitely drop sharply this year.

But if I agree...that would be too weird!

In the future, all companies in Sakura Country will probably be subject to unreasonable threats like this from Ah San. How can they carry out their work?

At this time, Fumio Abe deeply regretted taking on this high-speed rail project.

After a long while, Abe Fumio gritted his teeth and said:

"Leave and stop wasting time on this project."

He had realized that if he continued to be dragged down by the high-speed rail project, his losses would only increase.

Anyway, there is no way we can agree to the unreasonable demands of that group of Indians, and the conflict between the two sides is impossible to reconcile, so we might as well take this opportunity to withdraw!

Honda Shigeru was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! I'll arrange it right away!"

No one was happier than Shigeru Honda.

Staying one more day in the Monkey Kingdom is a torture for Honda Shigeru!

Not long after, an international news broke!

"Sakura Country announces withdrawal from Monkey Country high-speed rail project, total losses estimated to be as high as 1.6 trillion"

As soon as this news came out, the world financial market was in an uproar!!!

“Why withdraw the project at this time?”

"That's right, won't this affect the exchange rate of Sakura Coins?"

"What does Sakura Country think?"

"What are you thinking? You must have been screwed over by your third brother and you can't stand it any longer!"

"I think so too. People's patience has its limits. The third brother must have made a request that the Sakura Country couldn't agree to, so he just withdrew and ran away."

"Won't the Sakura Coin plummet?"

"..."

at the same time.

When everyone in the world is watching the Sakura Coin market.

The gold market suddenly experienced a huge change!!!

Massive amounts of spot gold suddenly swept into markets around the world!!!

The price of gold plummeted from a high of over 2000 Ba Guo Yuan per ounce to 1800 Ba Guo Yuan per ounce in an instant!!!

Huang Jinrong called Chen Mo to report: "Mr. Chen, the goods are being gradually released, and the price of gold is steadily falling."

Chen Mo nodded: "Keep shipping, don't stop. Anyway, this is the highest point of gold prices in recent years. I'm afraid that the gold price will not be this high in the next five years. Sell it first, and then buy it back when it reaches a low price, and make a lot of money from the difference!"

Huang Jinrong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Chen, how do you know that the price of gold will not be driven up again? The funds of the foundation can afford this batch of goods."

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head: "Even if we can eat it, the price of gold will still fall.

Because its demand has peaked, even if I do nothing, the price of gold will naturally fall, not to mention such a large amount of shipments. "

In the previous life, without the intervention of Chen Mo and the foundation, the price of gold peaked at 2008 Ba Guo Yuan per ounce in 1080, and then fell all the way to more than 600 Ba Guo Yuan per ounce.

The reason for the decline is entirely because the demand for gold has peaked. Countries have too much gold reserves, and coupled with advances in gold mining technology, the price of gold has continued to fall.

The gold price these days is completely driven up by the foundation spending huge amounts of money, and the price is extremely inflated.

Even the aunties on the street think that the rise in gold prices is a bit outrageous and don't want to buy it at all.

"Transfer the money from selling the gold to me. They want to raise the gold price and mortgage the gold mine to reserve bullets to attack me. I can also short the gold price and directly sell the gold for money to attack them!"
