After learning that Jin Xiu Company wanted to rent the entire building and was willing to raise the price appropriately, promising to rent it for at least two years, the property management company behind Dongjian Factory Building immediately agreed and went to work for other tenants on the same day.
It was no wonder that they were so enthusiastic. The Dongjian factory building had a total of seven floors, and not even half of them had been rented out.
As the manufacturing industry in Xiangjiang moved northward to the three cities, the factories in the eastern part of Hong Kong were also relocated. The spinning factories were all located in the eastern part of Hong Kong. If the factories were to be set up in the northern part of Hong Kong, they would have to transport the goods from the eastern part of Hong Kong. Moreover, there was only one Cross-sea Tunnel in Hong Kong, and they had to gamble like dogs every day.
Under such circumstances, not only did the factories in North Point move to the city, but almost the entire Hong Kong region moved to the city. Instead, the tourism, service, and financial industries took over.
Five days passed in a flash.
The property management company was very efficient. The various small factories on the first to fourth floors were also moved away one after another. In order to serve Jinxiu, a big customer, the property management company took the initiative to help clean up the garbage.
Yu Qinghua had also signed a new lease with the property company for two years. The annual rent was 400,000 Hong Kong dollars. This price was still relatively high in the North Point area.
The normal price would be 350,000 to 60,000.
However, in order to concentrate his business, plus the fact that Su Ze's Righteous Society controlled the underground forces in the north corner, it was fine to do business in his own territory. Moreover, an additional tens of thousands a year was nothing to Su Ze.
With the new factory in place, large-scale recruitment began.
In order for the new factory to be able to get started faster, the salary and benefits were directly 20% higher than their peers.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to poach her.
He wanted to poach skilled workers from other clothing factories.
As for the lack of experience, I'm sorry, our company doesn't recruit inexperienced people for the time being.
Very soon, Jin Xiu's recruitment advertisement appeared in many mainstream newspapers such as Sing Tao Daily and Oriental News.
For a time, it caused a commotion in the entire clothing industry.
In the vicinity of the village.
Shengming Clothing Factory.
"Aiya, Qin, have you heard? There's a company in the North corner that's recruiting skilled workers. They're paying 1,000 yuan a month, and there's even a subsidy for overtime.”
"No way, 1,000 yuan, isn't that 200 yuan more than us? There was even a subsidy for working overtime. Was there such a good thing?”
"Why would I lie to you? It was published in the newspaper.”
"Eh, it really is."
The one called Ah Qin took her friend over and looked at it. She saw a piece of news published in the newspaper: " Jinxiu Garment Company is recruiting more than 300 people in Hong Kong. They are required to have relevant work experience…The salary starts from 1,000 yuan, and overtime is compensated with a salary and a transportation allowance of 100 yuan…"
"Wow, this treatment is too good. There's even a transportation subsidy.”
After reading the message, Ah Qin's eyes widened in shock.
She had been working in the garment industry for almost ten years. From the initial salary of 100 yuan as an apprentice, she had only received 800 yuan after ten years. Moreover, she often had to work overtime. More importantly, there was no compensation for overtime work. She had to negotiate with the factory. It was a matter of whether she wanted to work or not.
She had thought of resigning before, but all the garment factories in Xiangjiang were like this, exploiting the labor force.
If they did less, their wages would be deducted. There was almost no one who took the initiative to give overtime subsidies.
Not to mention, they also had to pay a hundred yuan as a transportation subsidy.
Although 100 yuan wasn't a lot, at least they had the attitude.
Just based on this point alone, it was much better than other garment factories.
"Ah Qin, I plan to take a leave of absence tomorrow and go over to take a look. If it's true, I'll go over there to work. Do you want to come along?”
Hearing her good friend's words, Ah Qin hesitated and said,""My house is at the North Cape. It will take three hours to get there.”
"What's there to be afraid of? Including the transportation allowance, it's an extra 300 yuan a month. It's almost 30% higher than our current salary. What's there to be afraid of if it's further away? At most, we'll find a few more people and rent a cheaper house there. It's better than staying here.”
Ah Qin thought about it carefully. It made sense. It was just an extra hour.
An extra hour would earn him 300 yuan, and he would be paid for working overtime.
Thinking of her family's situation, Ah Qin gritted her teeth and immediately made a decision. She looked up at her good friend and said,"Alright! Go and find out tomorrow. If the treatment is really the same as what the newspapers say, I'll go with you.”
"Then it's settled. I'll ask A'Xia and the others again to see if they're willing to go over. With more people, it'll be the same.”
"Alright, I'll go ask Ah Mei too."”
At night.
Liu Le returned home with a tired expression.
"Honey, you're back."
Zhang Yong, who was watching TV, saw that his wife had returned. He quickly got up and went to the kitchen to bring out the food that he had prepared. He said to his three sons who were still watching TV,"The three of you, stop looking. Go wash your hands and eat.”
Then, he looked at his wife and asked,""Why are you back so late today?”
Liu Mei washed her hands in the kitchen and sat on the wooden stool tiredly. When she heard her husband's question, she said in a low voice,"What else can I do? I'm working overtime. I was about to get off work, but I received a notice saying that I have to work overtime.”
"Overtime? Why does your factory always work overtime? There's no overtime pay. If it were up to me, why don't you just change factories? How can you stand working overtime every day?”
"Do you think I don't want to jump ship?”
Liu Le said helplessly. If she had a choice, she would have jumped ship long ago.
"Hey, Honey, I heard from Aunt Wang downstairs that there's a factory in North Point that's hiring workers. The salary is very good. It's 1,000 yuan a month, and there's also overtime pay and 100 yuan for transportation.”
"Really? That's impossible. It's that good."”
"I don't know. I heard it from Aunt Wang. She said that her daughter is going.”
"Is that so? I'll go and ask later.”
Hearing that Aunt Wang's daughter was going, Liu Le was moved.
Anyway, it was just a few steps away. He would go and ask. What if it was true?
Similar cases occurred in thousands of households.
With the rapid development of Xiangjiang's economy, the labor force of Xiangjiang City was surprisingly large, reaching nearly 3 million people. Therefore, it laid a human foundation for the development of Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry.
Among these three million people, most of them only earned five or six hundred yuan.
Now, someone told him that there was a better salary and various subsidies. Anyone would be tempted.
