Blonde's being taken away for investigation did have an impact, but the impact didn't seem that bad.
Perhaps the crisis was felt from this incident, which also made more people feel discouraged. Within three days, the number of workers and engineers who chose to work in Corsica increased to more than 2,000, and the number of workers who chose to work in Lanfang increased.
The number is almost the same as those who choose to go to Corsica.
Perhaps because it is far away from Europe, the proportion of engineers and designers among those who choose to work in Lanfang is higher.
Qin Zhiyuan provided generous working and living conditions for these people. Providing accommodation and basic living facilities was just the basics. He also had a salary twice that of Krupp, and no less than one month of paid vacation per year, evenly distributed throughout the year.
There are various holidays in Europe, including Christmas and New Year's Day in Europe, Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Advent, etc. At the same time, these Germans also take vacations whenever it is a Chinese festival, such as Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc.
Of course, Chinese people also enjoy the benefits of European holidays.
In addition, regarding working hours, Lanfang also has more detailed regulations than Corsica. For example, in principle, you work eight hours a day. If you work more than ten hours, it is considered overtime. Overtime work will be paid 1.5 times the overtime pay, and overtime work on holidays will be paid 2 times the overtime pay.
, five-day working week, etc., which makes management more humane.
The level of humanization is even much higher than that of European and American countries.
Especially right after the world war.
You know, during the World War, almost all factories around the world were working hard. Workers' working hours were often 15.6 hours. Don't even think about overtime pay. Being able to pay basic wages on time was considered a good financial level.
Of course, the workers were unwilling to undertake such intense labor, so the ubiquitous trade unions began to organize workers to strike.
But during the world war, the governments of various countries who were under the threat of death every day were violent. They tore off the veil of tenderness and became murderous. As long as someone dared to strike, they would all be gathered together and sent to the battlefield. Strike
The organizers have therefore been taken to court. Such extreme cases have occurred in the UK and Germany.
Therefore, in Europe where mourning is everywhere, Lanfang's humanized management seems particularly attractive, as if just like the name Lanfang, every word is full of temptation, and the fragrance of orchids in the empty valley is revealed between the lines.
Increasing workers' welfare will definitely affect the cost of products, which will in turn affect the competitiveness of products.
But Qin Zhiyuan believes that it is all worth it.
For Lanfang, the route to be taken in the future is high-tech and high value-added industries, so the profit margin of the products will be very high.
Increasing workers' welfare is actually a matter of making 100 or 50 for factory owners.
In Qin Zhiyuan's view, what can a country, or a region, rely on?
Not the uppermost ruling class, nor the lowest working class, but the vast middle class.
No matter in any current country, the distribution of social income is basically a pyramid structure. The people at the top are the smallest, but they have the most resources, and the people at the bottom are the most people, but they are allocated the least materials.
Those at the top, the so-called dignitaries, no matter how poor their backgrounds are, once they get to the top of the pyramid, their task is no longer to continue climbing to higher levels, but to ensure that their status is not affected.
influence, they will lose their motivation to move forward and become obstacles to social change.
Those at the bottom cannot see the path to advancement. They have no room for advancement and no channels for advancement. Simply put, they have no hope. As a result, various social problems arise one after another.
Qin Zhiyuan wants to create an oblate structure. There are still so few people at the top, but they don't earn that much. There are also few people at the bottom. These people are not making progress and are just waiting to die. They deserve to be poor.
The largest number of people is the vast middle class.
This will definitely take time, especially because the Republic of China has a huge population base, which is destined to be a difficult process, and may even take decades to achieve, but Qin Zhiyuan is not discouraged. Although his mental age is already thirty years younger,
This body is only 21 years old this year, and there is plenty of time to slowly realize the blueprint he planned.
What's more, for the current Qin Zhiyuan, because of Penicillin and United Oil Company, as well as the Frank Company in operation, Qin Zhiyuan already has a good foundation in his hands. These factories will bring Qin Zhiyuan huge wealth every year. If they are used in the Republic of China
It may be slightly insufficient, but it is enough if used to create a demonstration area.
For example, Shenzhen in another time and space is a good example.
At the beginning of reform and opening up, the value of Shenzhen did not lie in how much money it could earn, but in establishing a model and becoming a benchmark, allowing people who were confused to understand what kind of speed Shenzhen was and letting those who were not confident
People understand how great the potential of the Chinese people is.
This value is not visible on the surface, but it actually plays a huge role.
Qin Zhiyuan just wants to build Lanfang into another Shenzhen, an enlarged version of Shenzhen.
This does not require the entire Lanfang to be built like Shenzhen in another time and space. It only requires a few very large enterprises and a certain degree of publicity to create a demonstration effect of considerable scale.
There is a popular saying among the Chinese that they are not worried about scarcity but about inequality. This saying means that worth is never about wealth, but about hope and opportunity.
As long as there is hope and opportunity, the Chinese are more accustomed to using their own hands to create wealth, rather than simply waiting and asking for it. Those who lend their hands are not welcome no matter where they are.
The focus of not worrying about scarcity but inequality is wealth. Only some ambitious people will interpret it this way when needed.
Qin Zhiyuan, who knows what he wants to do and what he wants to do, has clear goals.
The Lanfang delegation's trip to Germany is to make full use of the factories in Germany that are about to be demolished, the skilled workers and mature teams of engineers and designers who are about to be demobilized and shunted to other countries, to give Lanfang support in a way that is almost counterproductive.
Lay a preliminary industrial foundation.
In fact, the word "overthrowing" reflects the limitations of the ancients to a certain extent. If you look at Dubai in the 21st century, you will understand that when you really want to do something, the difficulties are not as many as you think.
With a large number of workers and engineers deciding to join the Frank Company, Krupp's problems have been initially solved. The next thing will take more time to ferment, and that is only a matter of time.
So two companions who were proficient in German were left to take charge of follow-up contact, while Zhang Tianyun and the Long brothers continued to the next stop.
The next stop is Rheinmetall, and the next stop is BMW, then Kaiser Werft, then Carl Zeiss AG
In short, before the Paris Peace Conference of the Allied Powers ends, Qin Zhiyuan wants to move all the things he can see to Lanfang and rebuild Germany's strong industry in Lanfang.
This was part of the agreement between Qin Zhiyuan and Crown Prince William. Now it seems that Qin Zhiyuan has taken advantage of it, and the Germans have suffered a big loss. But when Germany needs it, Qin Zhiyuan will also help the Germans rebuild everything, even including
German army.
With the signing of the armistice agreement, German prisoners of war captured during the war gradually began to be released. The first to be released were those disabled soldiers who were not suitable for labor, then those with weak bodies, and finally the able-bodied young adults.
These young adults must use hard labor to atone for Germany's aggression. They must stay in France to build roads, bridges, and dig mines. These German prisoners of war will not be released until the areas of France that were destroyed during the war are restored to their pre-war appearance.
.
What can be recovered is the economy and buildings, but psychological trauma is not so easy to recover, and the dead are even less likely to be resurrected.
Qin Zhiyuan also has something to do during this time.
Now that the war is over, there is an important matter to arrange, and that is the remains of the Chinese soldiers who died in the war.
The Chinese have a saying: When a leaf falls, it returns to its roots.
In other words, no matter where a person lives, he must be buried in his own land when he dies.
This is a tradition in the Chinese world and a way for the Chinese to respect their ancestors.
Even if you die, you will die next to your ancestors, and you can reunite with them in the underworld.
France is not far away from the Republic of China. Many corpses have been washed away by the years and only bones are left. If these were sent back, it would probably make the families of the deceased even more sad. So they looked for a place in Paris to build a large cemetery for centralized burial.
What was sent back to the Republic of China were only some of the relics used by the fallen martyrs during their lifetimes.
Well, our ancestors have foreseen this situation, so there is a precedent to follow, and that is the tomb.
Talk to comfort.
In fact, the place is easy to find, it is in the Bois de Boulogne where the Black Swan Castle is located.
Qin Zhiyuan has bought the entire Boulogne Forest, which is about 20 square kilometers, and now belongs to Qin Zhiyuan and his Foreign Legion.
The West has a very open attitude towards private property. As long as it is private property, no one will ask even if you become an emperor behind closed doors, and there is no problem opening a cemetery. This kind of move full of humanistic care is supported by the government.
From the time Qin Zhiyuan led the Chinese to participate in the war against Germany, it lasted nearly two and a half years. During these two and a half years, more than 18,000 Chinese soldiers were killed and nearly 70,000 wounded. Although the proportion of casualties was compared to other Allied forces,
It's not a big number, but compared to the total number of Chinese troops, this number is already considered a heavy casualty.
So far, Qin Zhiyuan's troops have not exceeded 200,000. Calculated proportionally, the casualty ratio of the Chinese troops is nearly half.
Of course, in contrast, there are the brilliant achievements of the Chinese troops. They have participated in more than ten large-scale battles. Starting from the Battle of the Somme, Chinese troops have participated in almost all battles launched by the French army on the Western Front.
During the battle, the Chinese troops killed more than 100,000 German troops and captured more than 300,000 people, a total of more than twice that of all Chinese troops.
The results of the Chinese troops were not the greatest among the entire Allied Powers, but if calculated in terms of the number of troops, they were the undisputed number one.
The most amazing thing is that although the Chinese troops caused heavy casualties to the German troops, the Germans obviously did not have much hatred for the Chinese. From the second battle of Reims, the German soldiers rushed to surrender to the Chinese troops.
figure it out.
On December 24, Christmas Eve, Qin Zhiyuan presided over the burial ceremony of the first batch of soldiers. These soldiers were killed in the Kapi area. They were actually just civilians at the time, not even soldiers.
A total of 79 soldiers were buried in the first batch. Among them, the bones of 13 were not found and could only be built as cenotaphs.
At that time, Qin Zhiyuan had only 310 men in total, which shows how brutal the battle was.
