Chapter 1235: Tempting Conditions and Mobilization

The conditions Lanse offered were very good, but Kuola still needed to consider it; he had not received any higher education.

At that time, his days in the school established by the Federation were a bit better than other indigenous children, but only a bit.

The school was not a place to teach books at all; they only wanted to teach things that indigenous people wanted to learn, not real knowledge.

Coupled with the fact that the limited and few knowledge they had learned over the years had no place to be used, it had gradually been forgotten by him; he couldn't analyze whether Lanse's conditions were suitable for the first time.

Perhaps it was because he saw Kuola's worry that Lanse further pushed this topic.

Originally, he intended to use tough means to solve the indigenous problem; if they dared to mess around, then Lanse would let them understand the necessity of correcting their position.

But he considered it again these past two days; if they could accept his conditions, then there would be no need to be so tough.

The federal society itself is a very fragmented society; some people hold malice toward indigenous people, such as some old landlords.

Although the Federation has abolished the slave system and dark-skinned people are also considered federal people, when these people encounter the provocation of dark-skinned people, they will still use their old methods to deal with those dark-skinned people—finish them off.

Naturally, they will also use old methods to deal with those indigenous people.

But there are also some people, young people, who grew up freely in the spirit of liberalism; they began to sympathize with indigenous people and believe that the federal government should apologize to these people.

The peculiar thing about people is this; their predecessors participated in the slaughter of indigenous people, but now they inexplicably feel guilty and want to make up for something.

Using tough means on indigenous people is not impossible, but it is not very good at this time; President Porter and those people might have someone watching him.

On matters that should be low-key, it is better to be low-key.

Moreover, you cannot refuse a person who helps you make money, but the premise is that he can help you make money.

"How much money can your girls collect for each visit now?", Lanse asked.

This question was very direct, very naked, although Kuola also knew that this question indeed made people unable to lift their heads, but now there is no longer anything about dignity and personality in the brains of indigenous people.

Society is developing rapidly for them; look at the outside world; this year, federal television manufacturers have compressed the selling price of television sets to within two hundred dollars, and the selling price of television sets from individual manufacturers is already one hundred and forty-nine dollars.

What does this represent?

This represents that if an ordinary family saves food and money, they can buy a television set in four months; if they are willing to pay for the television set in installments, they can get the television set earlier.

Coupled with the promotion of the cable signal network, almost middle-class families already have television sets, and some ordinary worker families also have television sets.

What are the indigenous people in the protected area doing?

Most indigenous families still live in simple wooden houses, and some even live in tents!

Not to mention television sets, even household appliances are not many.

Those young people who have gone to see the outside world, they no longer care whether lying down and opening their legs will lose their dignity and personality; what they care about is how to get money faster, and then satisfy their material desires!

Indigenous people have never regarded call-out as an ugly thing; their values have begun to distort under the brainwashing of the federal government for many years, especially the young people.

So this matter Kuola might feel some shame, but those young people who actually lie down will not.

As the chief of the largest tribe, he knows this price.

"About five dollars, and some can reach ten dollars or even twenty dollars."

Lanse nodded, "The price a few years ago might be lower."

This should be the price after a large increase in wages; Kuola confirmed Lanse's guess, "It was two or three dollars before."

It doesn't seem like much money, two or three dollars at a time, but lying down three or five times a day, there is an income of one or two hundred a month, and they don't need to pay taxes.

Farming, hunting, which one comes faster than this?

Lanse smiled and shook his head, "Let them work for me; I will keep the price of their charges at a minimum of ten dollars, and those who are in good condition, have any specialties, are at least thirty or fifty dollars or more."

"And, Kuola, our customer source is stable, and the guests are more disciplined."

"The problems and troubles you encountered before will not happen here; as

"I will provide them with regular physical examinations, and if they fall ill, I will also provide some medical support on my end."

"As for the issue of the commission from casino chip exchanges, I believe this rate is actually not low."

"You must know that in New Jincheng, we can attract thirty to forty thousand guests every day, and the volume of chips they exchange daily is over ten million."

"A 0.5% commission means that you can earn at least fifty thousand dollars a day from me; that is 1.5 million a month."

"I would like to ask, how much money does one of your casinos generally earn in a month?"

Kuola and another chief beside him exchanged glances. Kuola braced himself and exaggerated, "About a few thousand dollars."

Lans saw through his not-quite-a-lie lie at a glance. "What about those individual casinos?"

"How much can they make in a month?"

Kuola sighed. "About two or three hundred."

This was also a "stiff" number; in reality, it was not that high. Although there are many gamblers, not every casino can earn that much money.

For instance, some casinos have only one gambling table and not many guests. The casino owner needs to frequently contact those gamblers to invite them over to gamble, and they might only rake in a few dozen dollars a month.

It is not excluded that there are indeed some casinos that have people every day and can earn two or three hundred, or three to five hundred a month, but these are in the minority.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the reservation is too far from the city, and transportation is not that convenient.

Therefore, they also need the children to sell their bodies to cooperate with the casinos to earn money together.

Lans laughed a few times upon hearing this number. "You certainly don't have ten thousand casinos. Your total monthly income for all the indigenous casinos in the entire state might only be a few hundred thousand dollars."

"But look, Kuola, as long as you come to work for me, you will reduce the various costs of running your own casinos, but your income will not decrease."

"And all you need to do is bring your old customers to my casino, let them spend here, and you will receive a commission from their spending. Someone like you, who holds a large amount of resources in your hands, might be able to get a commission of over ten thousand dollars a month, and you could also gain a more respectable social face because of it."

"Think about it carefully; I believe there are smart people among you."

After Kuola considered it seriously, he stood up, and the other chief followed closely behind. "What you said makes a lot of sense, Mr. White. I need to go back and discuss it with everyone; this is not a matter for me alone."

After he said this, Lans knew that this matter was basically more than half settled. He took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Kuola. "I hope you can bring me good news; this is a win-win situation."

"You can earn more income from it than before, and there won't be any friction or conflict between us."

"I'll wait for your good news!"

Soon, Kuola and the other chief left the manor. After they came out of the manor, they were immediately surrounded by other indigenous people.

"What did they say?"

"Did these people give up the plan to open a casino here?"

"Did you kick their asses hard?"

Kuola glanced at the person who asked if he had kicked Lans's ass, glared at him, and then looked at the others. "We talked with Mr. Lans White about the casino issue. He gave us a proposal for cooperation, and we need to find a place to sit down and talk about it."

"There is still a long time before the casino is built. We have enough time to discuss this matter. I hope you can go back and explain this to the chiefs of your tribes, or people with prestige in the tribes, and let them come over to my side so we can discuss it together."

He did not say directly what had happened, which also gave some indigenous people who came to protest an instinctive premonition that this was a big deal!

Soon they left here by car or on horseback, and Kuola also drove his pickup truck away.

In fact, there have always been people observing the situation here. They had arranged for people to tail them when they saw the indigenous people protesting outside Lans's manor. They wanted to see how Lans would handle this matter.

But now... they are a bit unsure.

The news is not only spreading rapidly among the indigenous people, but it is also beginning to circulate among the local financial groups.

Lans has handled the indigenous people!

That is what they are saying. They are all guessing how Lans handled these troubles, and at the same time, they are considering how they should approach Lans next.

It is very clear that the "New City" plan pushed by Lans will become an important economic pillar for South Yalan State. If they cannot get a share of the benefits from it, they will certainly not be reconciled.

However, approaching Lans is different from approaching other foreign capital forces in the past. Lans is not susceptible to threats; they need to adjust their mindset and adjust their methods.

A few days later, more and more construction workers began to discuss whether to give up their union status and register with the Wanli Labor Service Company.

Union status has already become a habit for these workers, as if it has become a part of their work and life.

Over the past twenty or thirty years, the union has indeed developed very rapidly. They have also helped workers solve many labor disputes and helped them win those so-called "rights that belong to them" from the capitalists.

This has made many workers dependent on the union.

Of course, some people have already left the union and completed their registration at the labor service company.

On the first day of completing registration, the labor service company issued them winter labor protection supplies, winter work uniforms printed with the Wanli Group logo. They are very warm and thick, made of denim canvas fabric, sturdy and wear-resistant.

These things made these workers feel a very novel sensation. It was their first time coming into contact with such an "intermediary." Coupled with the fact that the company had already begun to arrange the upcoming construction work for them, these people had already begun to appear in groups near the company wearing the clothes.

More and more people learned about some internal processes of "registered members" through them, as well as what would happen after specifically joining, and some people began to waver.

The wages they can get after registering as members are obviously a few dollars higher than what the union pays them. Different positions have different wages, but basically, it is at least two or three dollars more.

Perhaps this money does not count for much in many people's eyes, but for workers who have no money to begin with, even one more dollar is good!

Compared to the relaxed working environment at Wanli Labor Service Company, the construction workers' union side appears somewhat dull. The president of the city union and the president of the state union are both gathered here.

"More and more workers are running over there. If we don't take action, the situation is very likely to become irreversible."

The vice president's hostility toward Lans and the labor service company is very obvious. He is relatively young among these people, and he has indeed paid a lot for this job over the years.

He had thought he could smoothly succeed the old president's position and live a wealthy and decent life, but he did not expect the Wanli Group to appear so suddenly.

His age is very awkward now, thirty-nine years old, neither here nor there. If he were younger, he might choose to go out and try, to fight for it.

Or if he were older and had succeeded the old president, and was already full, then he would also sit and watch the development of the situation; anyway, he was full.

The worst thing now is that he is not full, and his retreat is about to be cut off. If he cannot fight back, then what awaits him is not a good future.

After the president considered it for a while, he finally decided to support his idea. "They have clearly violated industry rules. I have already communicated with the Labor Federation, so go ahead and do it."

"But pay attention to the way of working; don't be too extreme. After all, that is not an ordinary opponent."

The vice president did not take these words to heart at all. His mind is now full of thoughts on how to make that arrogant "Mr. White" realize his mistakes and then come to him to negotiate in tears.

"Rest assured, gentlemen, I will handle this matter beautifully, just like those cases in the past!"

Although the president felt a bit uneasy in his heart, he finally chose to trust the vice president. After all, he had indeed done a lot of beautiful work.

Over these years, he could be considered to have achievements in the union.

After the discussion ended, the vice president immediately began to take action. He first found some workers loyal to the union and asked them to organize more workers to go and make a scene first.

Only by pushing the momentum larger will it be easier to operate later. The union has many sets of mature plans; they are definitely experts in this regard!
