016 Outbreak (Spring Warm Eleven States Brothers' Ten Thousand Rewards and Additional Updates)
The ancestors taught us: It is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger, but it is difficult to paint the bones.
Our ancestors also said: When you meet someone, you should only speak a few words, and don’t give everything your heart.
So when you don’t understand the other person well enough, if you divulge your heart and soul at all times, then when you are betrayed completely, don’t blame the world for the decline in people’s heart. You can only blame yourself for not being deeply involved in the world, being too stupid, too naive, and not enough.
Understand this society.
Sam hasn't gained Rock's full trust yet, so Rock will have some reservations in front of Sam.
Sam is very clever, obedient to words, and knows the elegant meaning of strings. He immediately understood what Rock meant.
"This period of time in the gold mine is relatively normal. Workers are working hard and profit margins are rising. The distinguished Lord Arnold Matilda is studying hard. He put forward an innovative proposal last week in order to further stimulate workers.
To improve their labor enthusiasm, divide the workers on duty into multiple different groups, and then give them appropriate rewards and punishments according to the amount of tasks they complete. I heard that Lord Philip was very appreciative of this suggestion. "Sam carefully worded his words, and he could clearly feel that he was very interested in this suggestion.
Rock also had reservations.
This is like a rat's excrement ruining a pot of soup. The apparently simple superior-subordinate relationship was disturbed by a guy who failed to achieve anything but failed, and became the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
However, this seems to be a side proof that the noble Lord Arnold Matilda is quite talented in palace fighting.
Well, this title is really disgusting, but this is the correct way to call the heir of a baron. Roque, an ignorant guy, used to just call him "Henry" or "Phyllis". In fact, the correct way to call him is
They are "The Honorable Sir Henry Matilda" and "The Honorable Sir Phyllis Matilda".
That's not right. It can only be said in the third person. In person, it's still "Mr." or "Ms." and there is no difference.
"How to punish?" Rock's focus was not on the title.
"First, rank the different groups according to the amount of tasks completed, and then the last place will deduct the extra meal for the day, and the extra meal will be used as a reward to others. This is currently the case. In the future, distinguished Arnold Matilda
Your Excellency is also prepared to use part of your salary as a reward." Sam's expression remained unchanged, and Rock couldn't tell what Sam's real thoughts were.
"What do you think?" Since he couldn't tell, Rock asked directly.
"I don't think it's very good." Sam did not evade this time and put forward his opinion directly: "Actually, the humanized management in the past was already very good. The workers worked hard and there was no conflict with the management. The atmosphere in the mine was
It's normal. After everyone worked hard for their jobs and the competition system was introduced, the basic treatment of workers changed. Some people worked hard all day, but because of their different physical fitness, they didn't complete enough work, so they lost the opportunity to have extra meals.
This kind of basic welfare has artificially created conflicts among workers. If things go on like this, our humanized management may lose its meaning."
In fact, such a long paragraph can be explained with a simple sentence: "Don't worry about the scarcity, but worry about the unevenness."
Basic benefits and piece-rate wages are just like basic wages and bonuses. Depending on personal conditions, some people will work hard to chase bonuses, while some people will be happy if they can get the basic salary. Arnold's way is to cancel the basic salary.
All add up to the bonus.
Well, it's quite similar to something
It seems that the wages of some workers may increase, but the "increase" here is premised on harming the income of other people, so this is not an "innovation" at all. It is completely self-righteous and does not create anything new.
Things seem to be unable to show one's own excellence. If you add drama to yourself, can you add it to this extent?
"Well, what else did he do?" Rock didn't want to mention Arnold's name, he lowered his head and wrote quickly on the paper.
"I go to the Finance Department more often." Sam finally mentioned the Finance Department.
Scarlett works in the finance department.
Luo Ke's writing hand paused for a moment, then continued: "Go on."
This little pause, in the eyes of a caring person, can already explain a lot.
Although there is innocence between Rock and Scarlett, in the eyes of others, how can Rock, a man who is not married, not even engaged, and has a criminal record, be able to stand guarding a beautiful woman like Scarlett?
If you're a man, you can't help it.
What's more, Scarlett is Rock's financial staff at the Matilda Gold Mine. There is no need to elaborate on how important this position is. If Rock didn't trust Scarlett, he wouldn't have put Scarlett in such an important position.
on the position.
There seems to be only one possibility for a single man to trust a divorced woman to this extent.
Sam is also a man, and he can push others by himself. Sam immediately thinks that he gets the attention of Rock: "noble"
"Just say the name." Rock said impatiently.
Sam raised his eyebrows and continued expressionless: "Mr. Arnold often goes to the finance office to withdraw cash, but the amount each time he withdraws is not high, one hundred pounds, or one hundred and fifty pounds. Because the amount is small, I don't have it."
Interference, but Mr. Arnold withdraws money more frequently. He has been working in the mine for less than a month, but he has already withdrawn more than 1,300 pounds."
"What does he need so much money for?" Roque is not curious. More than a thousand pounds is really not a small amount these days. Roque has become the chief of the Johannesburg Police Department. His basic annual salary plus colonial allowance is only more than 900 pounds a year.
’s annual salary, the money Arnold took was already more than a year’s salary of Rock.
Of course it's just a superficial salary.
"I'm not sure, but it should be remitted to London. Mr. Arnold often exchanges telegrams with London." Sam didn't know enough.
Rock nodded, this problem is not serious. Rock didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Arnold. After transferring Scarlett from the gold mine, Rock would ask Ada to send a male financial officer over. There must be a man named Rock in the gold mine.
Gram's eyeliner.
The next day, Roark and Phyllis took the train to Pretoria together.
Roark is going to Pretoria to report to Henry, and Phyllis is going to Pretoria to visit her third brother. If anyone is the least satisfied with Baron Philip's arrival in Johannesburg, it's probably Phyllis.
In the past, Phyllis was the little princess of Roque and Henry, who could get wind and rain whenever she wanted. Now Phyllis is a good girl in Baron Philip's family, and she is not allowed to go out at all times.
Thinking of her baron father, Phyllis felt depressed.
Rock is not in the mood to make the little girl happy at the moment. Arnold's time bomb will explode sooner or later. Rock must communicate with Henry in time. The relationship between Rock and Henry cannot be affected by Arnold.
"Why don't you say anything?" Roque ignored the little girl, and the little girl came to the door by herself.
This is really not playing hard to get.
"Busy" Rock started working as soon as he got in the car, and was still sorting out information while talking.
"Is busy an excuse?" Phyllis was even more dissatisfied.
After all, the little girl is still immature. If this were Ada, even if she didn't help, at least she wouldn't cause trouble.
However, this kind of innocence is more rare. Rock finally put down the information in his hand: "There are two birds on the tree. The hunter kills one with one shot. How many are left?"
Rock didn't blush at all. The joke was a bit old, but it would have been in 1900
What is a joke?
"Why fight?" Phyllis's brain circuit is obviously different from Roark's.
"Because the hunter wants to eat." Rock's answer was simple.
"As soon as you hear this, you will know that you have never hunted before. Hunters don't know how to shoot birds. If you hit them with one shot, the birds will be broken into pieces. What can you eat?" Felice said with rich experience.
"Then what are you talking about?" Rock felt like he was going to collapse.
"The tongue of the oryx and the liver of the ostrich are the most delicious!" The little girl instantly turned into a gourmet.
"Can eland and ostrich climb trees?" Rock had forgotten the original joke and discussed this issue seriously.
"Why do they want to climb the tree?" The little girl from the noble family has no restraint, and her fighting ability is also very powerful.
After carrying the car all the way to Pretoria, Phyllis was in a much better mood when she got off the bus.
"I want to stay in Pretoria and not go back to Johannesburg." Phyllis came to ask for help.
"Don't make trouble, you know it's impossible." It's not that Henry doesn't help, he really can't.
"If you don't help me, I will marry Locke!" Phyllis's face was a little red. In order to leave that home, Phyllis did everything she could.
Henry immediately glared at Rock.
Rock looked shocked.
"Well, I have some bad news for you, Henry is coming." Henry from Matilda's house was expressionless.
"Which Henry?" Phyllis had a bad feeling.
"That's Henry!" Henry confirmed.
Phyllis turned around and left without saying a word.
It seems that Phyllis's absconding partner is also named Henry.
Yes, Henry Alsop.
"Arnold took thirteen hundred pounds from the gold mine last month. Do you know what he wanted the money for?" Rock said seriously.
"Don't worry about Arnold, what's going on with Phyllis?" Henry now disliked Roark.
"What's going on?" Rock tried to muddle through.
"Don't pretend to be confused. You can't hide it from me. What's going on with Phyllis?" Henry was furious and couldn't let Roark get through easily.
"Phyllis is joking, you don't think she is serious, right?" Rock didn't understand why Phyllis said that just now.
"Do you think Phyllis would joke about something like this?" Henry pressed forward step by step.
"What do you want to say?" Rock was also a little angry, not because of Phyllis, but because of Arnold. Rock was already holding back his anger.
"I want to say, you are a bastard!" Henry was very angry.
"Same for you!" Rock was even more angry. Henry's tone made Rock uncomfortable.
