Chapter 99: Miscellaneous Matters, Houses, and Sense of Security
"Call me Lansi."
Lansi shook Debbie's hand lightly. "I'm also glad to meet you, ma'am."
Debbie had a good impression of Lansi, then took the initiative to invite them to sit down. "Drink something?"
Vaughn looked at Lansi, and Lansi smiled and said, "We just drank coffee before coming, so I don't need it, thank you. Mr. Vaughn?"
"Vaughn!", Vaughn repeated. He cared about this very much. "I don't need it either, thank you!"
Only then did Debbie sit opposite them and start the topic. "So why did the gentlemen come here?"
Vaughn looked at Lansi, and Lansi took the initiative to say, "I have already rented a piece of land next to the industrial zone and plan to open a garment factory, but I have never done this, so I want to find some skilled workers."
She was very interested in hearing this. "How many work positions does this factory have?"
"About 150 or so."
"Are you doing processing with supplied materials, or are you providing both materials and labor?"
"Or rather, are you taking orders to produce for others, or manufacturing for yourself?"
"For myself.", Lansi added, "The situation at the docks is slightly complex recently, and I discussed it with Vaughn. In order to avoid some situations we don't want to see."
"So I plan to provide some... you know, illegal immigrants and immigrants with clothing that is recognizable at a glance."
"I want to warn them through this method to treat work and life carefully, and at the same time, it is also convenient for management at the docks."
Vaughn continued: "Yes, we studied it and all believe that this might have a miraculous effect."
Debbie was also a bit interested after hearing this. "Special work clothes, very interesting. Is it free?"
Lansi nodded. "Denim or industrial cloth, the cost is not high. I will bear this part of the cost. I hope I can do something for people."
Debbie commented very seriously. "Noble ideals!", she paused. "Are you a federal citizen?"
Although this is a free country, although the air and water here are goddamn sweet, whether it is a national or an immigrant is particularly important to some people!
"Yes, I have a social security number."
Debbie's smile became more natural and softer. "I can provide you with... about twenty skilled workers, but I don't suggest you hire so many at once."
"For a small factory, you only need five to ten skilled workers. Divide the workers into groups and let them be group leaders, helping other workers familiarize themselves with their work."
"Their main work is to teach other workers how to do it, rather than specifically being responsible for production."
She pondered for a while. "If you provide both materials and labor, you need at least one big tailor. He will help you turn the cloth into 'parts' of clothes. This is a key process."
"Then at least three sewing workers, one senior pattern-making worker, then one shaping and ironing worker, about... ten people or so."
"Sorry!", she said, stood up and walked behind the desk, took paper and pen, and calculated simply. "The monthly wage expenditure for these people is about 900 dollars. Can you accept it?"
It's really not cheap. The wages of ten people can top twenty-five ordinary workers, but this is the status of skilled workers in the Federation, and even the industrial system of the whole world!
Their quality can determine the quality of a factory's products and is the most critical link.
"No problem."
Debbie breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems we have solved one of the most troublesome problems. Then do you plan to have workers at every position on the assembly line?"
"If the quantity you produce is not much, we can reduce two sewing workers. There will be about fifty people in total."
Lansi interrupted her at this time. "Ma'am, I will arrange about fifty ordinary workers. You know I also have many workers in my hand."
"However, I can provide thirty ordinary work positions for the Labor Union."
The main body of the Labor Union is skilled workers, but it doesn't mean they don't care about ordinary workers, nor do they not play with ordinary workers. They have very close contact with ordinary workers, but it won't be shown on the surface.
Debbie nodded slightly. Although she couldn't get all the work position arrangements, thirty ordinary work positions were definitely not few.
"I thank you for your help to them on behalf of the workers who are about to take up their posts!"
Vaughn was also very satisfied with this trip. In fact, skilled workers don't lack places to work. If they don't demand too high wages and are willing to move around, they will definitely not have no work.
What really moved Debbie was the thirty ordinary worker positions. This kind of position that doesn't require any skilled work experience, and even people without experience can work, is the thing that can bring influence.
Soon both sides reached a cooperation, and Debbie even provided Lansi with several suppliers of fabrics and the like.
The Labor Union has deep cooperation with factories in all industries, including selling their products.
She suggested that Lansi should not buy new sewing tools, but directly buy second-hand or even third-hand ones, as long as they can be used.
These old machines are cheap. After he has more ideas and plans in the future, then consider changing to new machines.
Debbie also indicated that if Lansi is willing to take orders after his own production plan is completed, she can help introduce some orders for him.
Vaughn hinted on the side that this kind of order needs to give a kickback, which can also be said to be a kind of "introduction fee."
Lansi had no objection to this. Being able to pull orders is a skill in itself. No matter how many orders Debbie can pull, he will pay the remuneration according to the market price.
This also made Debbie very happy. After all, who can be disgusted with having an extra income?
After discussing the details, the sky was already dark, but Debbie indicated that she had other things to do at night, so she had to give up.
Lansi then returned to the dock with Vaughn. Vaughn also had things to do at night, but before he left, he gave a list to Lansi. "Don't let others know about this. Also, if you can't handle them, don't take action casually."
"You know, few people know about this!"
Lansi nodded and guaranteed that he wouldn't let it go wrong. Only then did Vaughn feel relieved and give him the list.
One day passed like this, fulfilling and busy.
When he returned home at night, everyone was looking at some materials Ennio brought back.
Seeing Lansi, they took the initiative to give him a seat.
Sitting on the sofa and picking up the promotional page in front of him, he looked at it seriously. Ennio introduced on the side, "These are townhouse detached houses, with front and side pictures. We only need to renovate simply to connect a few houses together."
"I asked the manager, these houses can all plant super-high plants."
Some communities prohibit planting plants exceeding the specified height, for example, exceeding 1.2 meters, exceeding 1.5 meters, they don't allow it.
If someone plants them, they will be required to trim them below the specified height, or remove them.
If they refuse to execute, they may be required to move out of the community. These will be written in the contract and must be complied with.
It is normal for different communities to have different requirements. For example, some communities require the lawn to be tender green, even in the middle of winter, it must be tender green, otherwise, they will face punishment.
This is also why some people paint the lawn—
Compared to expensive lawns, painting a layer of paint on yellowing lawns is the cheapest solution!
Looking at houses, looking at promotional pages is useless; you still have to go see them in person.
On the second morning, Ervin knocked on Lansi's bedroom door with a bang.
When Lansi came out of the room, everyone in the house who didn't need to go to work today was already ready!
For them, this is the first "home" in the true sense since they came to the Federation, with more anticipation!
Watching these people so active, Lansi got into the car while eating a sandwich.
They visited four communities in the morning and finally decided on a high-privacy community. The sales manager claimed that as long as you are willing, you can even pull electric nets for your house!
And what they sell is land, but they will give construction drawings and construction materials.
If Lansi and the others don't want to build the house themselves, the community can also provide construction services. This is also one of the reasons why Lansi chose here.
He needs some space outside the drawings!
The area of each piece of land is between 300 and 350 square meters, and the selling price is 4,500 to 5,000. The price is actually not cheap, but not particularly expensive.
Lansi took down five connected house foundations in one breath. For such a generous big boss, the community manager indicated that he would waive the management fee for three years.
Originally, he wanted to find someone to help Lansi and the others build the house, but they were all rejected by others. They want to build it themselves. It seems that only in this way will they have a sense of security!
Everyone hopes to have more sense of security, compared to these people who haven't obtained legal immigrant status yet, but have already started to have a sense of security.
Other people who are obviously richer and are legal immigrants have no sense of security.
For example, Mr. Jobaf at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
Lanse bought five adjacent plots of land in one go; for such a generous big boss, the community manager said he would waive the management fees for three years.
Originally, he had wanted to find someone to help Lanse and his people build the houses, but it was vetoed by the others; they wanted to build them themselves, as it seemed only then would they have a sense of security!
Everyone hopes for more security, compared to these people at this moment who have not yet obtained legal immigrant status, but have already begun to have a sense of security.
Other people who are clearly wealthier and are legal immigrants, however, do not have much sense of security.
For example, Mr. Chobafu at this moment.
