The Zhou family quickly recruited a lot of workers and was able to start operations. Other large households could only watch.
If they interfere like this, they will definitely arouse dissatisfaction from other large households, which the Zhou family will definitely not expect.
But it's a small matter to them, because they don't care.
Prices in Yun'an County are very confusing, and they are all in favor of a few large households. The people are struggling to survive, and they should not be tolerated long ago.
Now those people are dissatisfied just because they don't make as much money as before. Just because the Zhou family has raised their wages, they have to raise their wages accordingly, otherwise they won't be able to recruit people.
After the Zhou family started to recruit people, many people who worked in other companies found reasons to leave. They just paid their wages and left, and they immediately entered the Zhou family's factory.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people under their command, all the shopkeepers in the county town panicked and explained the situation to their employers one after another, asking for a higher salary in order to hire people.
These wealthy men are used to making money. It is impossible for them to increase their wages. It would be nice if I didn’t ask you to work for free, but they still want more money.
As a result, the shopkeepers of several shops could no longer work and went to the Zhou family to find work.
I used to think that it was easier to enjoy the shade with my back against a big tree, but with these big households, Yun'an County would never live well and they would never die of hunger. Now it seems that is really not the case anymore.
The Li family used to be the boss, what about now?
The Li family has suffered a lot, and Ren Medical Hall can hardly continue to operate.
If this continues, Yun'an County still won't know who is the boss.
Now that I have a good opportunity, of course I should run quickly. If I can establish a foothold in Zhou's shop, even if I am not reused, at least the salary will be high. It is better than suffering in those shops and not getting paid.
The so-called rules in Yun'an County were broken again and again. People who looked down on the new magistrate at the beginning also punched themselves in regret. This magistrate is indeed different from those before.
Several big families in the county are not willing to admit defeat just like this. They have been in Yun'an County for many years. Is it possible that the Zhou family, who has just arrived, will be bullied?
After struggling for a few days, I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to think of other ways.
"Master, if we don't mention wages, there will really be no one left. After all, these people have been working for several years and are all experienced. If they are all gone, we will have to recruit new people. Then it will take a lot of effort."
Besides, even if you want to recruit new people, you still have to raise the wages. Several shops have already raised the wages. If you use the previous prices, how can you still hire people?
Mr. Lin snorted softly, "Our wages are already very high. Calculated to be twenty cents a day and six cents a month, what else do they want? Do they want to suck blood?"
The wage of twenty cents is quite low. When prices were at their worst in Yun'an County, an egg could be sold for five cents. After a hard day's work, you could only buy four eggs.
But even so, there are still people who have to work, because it is better than having no money.
So these merchants kept lowering their wages. Speaking of which, the wages paid by the Lin family were really high, so Mr. Lin felt that he was a good person.
They have long been accustomed to spending a little money to have others work for them, and they can earn a lot of money.
Who knows that the rules in Yun'an County have changed now, and some people are willing to pay higher wages to hire people.
These people started to get angry, unwilling to take out the money, and wanted to keep the person, and they kept making things difficult for the shopkeeper under them.
"Master, these days are different from the past. It is indeed impossible to hire people at this price. Our shop is already short of manpower, and the Zhou family is still recruiting people. Now these are the ones I have managed to keep.
"
Mr. Lin still refused to increase his wages. "Since some people are willing to stay, it means that our place is okay. If one person stays, two will stay. There is no need to increase wages."
The shopkeeper refused to listen and had no choice but to sigh, "Sir, I have tried my best anyway. It will be very troublesome to find someone by then. Please think again, sir!"
Mr. Lin waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I know about this, you can go about your business."
He said he didn't care, but after thinking about it at home, he went to Li's house.
The Li family in Yun'an County had the final say. Even if wages were to be raised, it would have to start with the Li family. He wanted to see what Mr. Li's attitude was.
As a result, Mr. Li was not at home, and there was only one Li Yunhao.
"Mr. Lin, why are you in such a hurry?"
Mr. Lin said, "What else could it be for? Isn't it just a matter of recruiting workers for the Zhou family? They have already raised the salary to thirty cents, and a lot of people have left the Li family's shop, right?"
Li Yunhao nodded, "That's true. I'm also thinking about whether to raise my salary."
Mr. Lin said, "If you raise your salary because of this, you will only be manipulated by those people in the future. Everyone's ambition is as high as the sky, and it may even reach fifty cents."
Li Yunhao glanced at him, "Mr. Lin's family has a big business. After all, he doesn't care if there are people working in the shop. Our Li family's small business still needs manpower. People have raised wages, so we have to follow suit."
If it goes up, no one will work here."
Mr. Lin was speechless by him, and Li Yunhao continued, "Thirty cents a day is actually not high. Previously, there were no shops recruiting workers in Yun'an County, so we took advantage. Now we have a capable county magistrate.
In the future, more and more shops will open. If the wages are low, who will come to work at your place?"
"Uncle Lin, don't worry. The Zhou brothers are not fools. They are in business. Of course, profit comes first. Can they keep raising their wages?"
Mr. Lin nodded, thinking that this was also the case. Now that the Li family had relented, they had no choice but to follow the rise.
Because of the Zhou family's noodle business, wages throughout Yun'an County have increased, which made the people extremely happy.
These big households need someone to take care of them, otherwise they will be really lawless, and they might even think that someone will do the work for them just by giving them two steamed buns.
Since other shops have also raised their wages, not so many people have quit their previous jobs to work at Zhou's house, which can be regarded as retaining people.
And the Zhou family will not be short of manpower. After a few days, they have almost recruited people, and it is time to start signing contracts for them.
The noodles they make are not ordinary noodles. They are easy to store. Although the making is not difficult, it still requires some skills, so if you want to work here, you still need to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Everyone is willing to do it. Anyway, the treatment is really good. People should keep their own business. Otherwise, if other companies can do it, how can they still make money?
This matter was done extremely smoothly. The two Zhou brothers didn't want to make a small fuss. They came all the way here to open a new business, and they were there to make money.
If you are right, this business will really make a lot of money. By then, the big players in Yun'an County will probably regret it.
