Chapter 562: Agreement Reached
When they heard Momora offered a price of thirty copper coins, Horns and Mrs. Karan were still a little stunned, but what surprised them even more was that Phillip didn't refuse!
If this salary can be maintained, it will be enough for low-level employees to change their lives. Even if they save for about ten years, they may be able to buy a residence of their own in Xiacheng District!
The two looked at each other, filled with excitement.
The gains gained from this struggle can simply be described as inspiring!
On the contrary, full resumption of work has become a quite reasonable request.
Momola also felt a huge joy rushing into her mind, but she still did not forget Li's instructions and thought carefully about possible mistakes. "It's okay to resume work, but the time for payment of wages must be changed. We don't require immediate cash payment. We will first pay everyone half a month's salary, which is two hundred and twenty-five copper platinums, so that everyone can start working. It’s also more energetic.”
Phillip stroked his mustache with interest, "What, are you worried that Pagoda will default on its debt?"
"This kind of thing has never happened before."
"Isn't it even possible to sign an agreement?"
"Because we believe in the agreement, we only ask for half of the payment." Momola insisted, "Two hundred and twenty-five pieces of platinum are not too much for your boss, right?"
Mrs. Callan cast an approving look. This consideration can indeed reduce the risk of the other party breaking their promise and falling out.
"You'd better not push too far!" Gore said fiercely, staring at Momola.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Their concerns are indeed reasonable." Philip raised his hand to interrupt his brother, "But the factory also has its own difficulties. As I said, capital flow is a very complicated matter. Suddenly a large amount of money was taken out. It’s a bit difficult for Mr. Azier to give the money to Baiguoyuan. What do you think?”
He withdrew three stones from the ground and placed them in front of Catwoman. "The wages will be divided into three payments. The first payment is the original wages. This is also the factory's reserve fund. It will be paid to you tonight. The remaining money will be divided into The two halves will be delivered in the middle of the month and the end of the month respectively. From now on, we will follow this method - after all, we don’t want to see people running away as soon as the wages are paid. Is this acceptable to you?”
"Can you make the first payment tonight?" Momola confirmed.
"Yes, before you start work." Philip smiled, "If there are no problems, we can sign the agreement now."
Momora looked at Horns and Mrs. Callan in turn.
The two of them had no intention of objecting.
For some reason, the figures of Li and Xia Fan appeared in her mind.
She suddenly wanted to hear their opinions.
Although the other party was a stranger from the far east, without their help, this struggle would not have been launched smoothly.
Momola shook her head slightly and suppressed these distracting thoughts.
No... Sister Li or Ambassador Xia, they will all leave Azure Castle sooner or later. All future problems will eventually have to be solved by the Relief Society.
Thinking of this, she slowly raised her hand, "In this case, let's settle on this result."
Phillip did not reach out to hold hands, but looked at Gower. The latter was stunned for a long time, and then hesitantly shook Momola's hand.
This attitude made the three of them frown.
"It seems that sir really hates half-animals." Momora snorted.
Phillip took out a pen and paper as if nothing had happened, "But this will not affect my sympathy for the employees. Since you have no objections, I will write the agreement into a document now, and you can just press your fingerprints."
…
As the steward left the shantytown, a cheering sound echoed through the sky behind him.
Obviously this news was a great victory for the employees - from the struggle to the end of the strike, it only lasted one day, but what was gained in this day was enough to bring about earth-shaking changes to the employees.
Some people in the crowd even shouted "Long live Momola".
Gore looked livid. He looked back at the shack behind him for a moment, then turned to Phillip and said urgently, "Brother, are you sure the boss will accept the results of your negotiation? Loss is one thing, doing this is equivalent to Baiguoyuan surrendering to the employees! In a few days In time, the entire Blue Castle will know what happened in the factory - can the boss swallow this breath? "
"I've been taking care of Achie's side, what do you have to worry about?" The manager said indifferently, "Go and prepare for the start of work. The factory will resume production soon."
"But……"
"What, are you questioning my decision?" Phillip's voice suddenly turned cold.
Gore's throat suddenly rumbled.
The dangerous look in his eyes completely dispelled his courage to continue to dissuade him.
"No...Brother, I know what to do."
"It's good to know." The gloom in Phillip's tone immediately dissipated, "You'd better remember that temporary gains and losses cannot determine victory or defeat. It is a good opportunity for them to take the initiative, which can also save me a lot of time. What you have to do is keep them busy according to the agreement you just reached."
"... Kung Fu?" Gore was stunned for a moment, "What Kung Fu?"
"Don't be anxious, be patient." He raised the corner of his mouth, "You will see this good show when the time comes."
…
Harbor Area, Foreign Affairs Building.
"Has Pagoda accepted the workers' demands? Is this how the strike ends?"
After listening to Li's story, Xia Fan was very surprised. He had even ordered tomorrow's bread, but he didn't expect Baiguoyuan to bid first.
"It seems so." Fox Demon shrugged, "The workers were all happy after hearing the negotiation results. The handling team immediately set off to the dock, and the remaining two teams returned to the factory. I guess they are preparing to process jam all night tonight."
"What about Momola?"
"She wanted to come to thank you in person, but everyone was busy, and it was inconvenient for her to leave alone, so she asked me to convey her gratitude and said that she would definitely visit when she was free." Li looked at Xia Fan, "What do you think?"
"It's hard to say." He pondered for a moment before speaking, "But I feel that this matter is not so easy to resolve."
The strike protest itself is a contest, and any tricks of both sides will be revealed little by little in the process. However, Baiguoyuan gave in so quickly that he had no way to further observe Azier's reaction.
It is always easier to deal with the trump card that is played than the hidden one.
If Azier really rationally chooses the method that minimizes his losses, it will be a good thing for the workers. If the other party is trying to paralyze the hired workers and counterattack after being fully prepared, the means may be quite fierce.
"Anyway, remind Momola first to be doubly vigilant about the factory's every move in the near future. If you find anything unusual, you can notify me immediately." Xia Fan replied.
"I'll tell her." Li nodded and changed the subject, "What about the other side--" She looked at Qianyan, "Did you find any suspicious person going to Azie's house?"
Sorry, there is only one update today. I couldn't sleep all night yesterday, and I woke up in the afternoon with a dizzy head. It's too late to write the second chapter.
