Chapter 96

"The recruitment of more than Changchun, Jilin, Jiutai, Meihekou, Siping, Mudanjiang, Hailin and other places, Wu Yanzhang sent some people to set up some people," said Guan Shijie.

Xia Pengfei suddenly realized that no wonder Wu Yanzhang looked confident and had recruited more than a dozen cities.

"You guys didn't say it earlier, I was so anxious that my mouth was full of bubbles."

"If a person is five cents and recruits 50,000 or 60,000 people, that is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan." Guan Shijie said: "When the time comes, all the money will be invested in automatic mahjong machines, and our industrial company will be legitimate."

"We really want to help the Japanese build railways"

"The Japanese will have to build a railway sooner or later. Instead of letting the Japanese rush to force the road to build, it is better to let the workers get their wages to work. As for whether the railway can be completed, when will it be completed, and whether the quality is guaranteed after completion, that is not something we are worried about."

Xia Pengfei heard Guan Shijie's words and there were sounds inside and outside, especially when the words were like tongue twisters, there seemed to be a deep meaning hidden.

This reminded him of a clause in the contract that there was a force majeure, such as war, flood, earthquake, etc., disappearance of workers, fleeing, death, etc., and the industrial company was irresponsible. He understood a little.

"Wars may happen at any time, and force majeure cannot be controlled by people." Xia Pengfei said.

"Yes. After the roster is reported, if you do not have a good citizen certificate, you will leave it to Wu Yanzhang for unified processing. Has the Japanese prepayment been paid?"

"It was arrived yesterday. According to the quota of 10,000 people, two months' wages, plus the company's labor fees, a total of 900,050,000 yuan." Xia Pengfei took a sip of tea and said, "When the good citizen certificate is issued, we will pay the laborers' settlement fee together."

"As we set out before, each person will pay a settlement fee of five yuan first, and pay a month's wage at the end of each month," said Guan Shijie.

"Webmaster, you are not afraid that they will run away just after taking the money."

"If you run five yuan, just run away. Those with good citizen certificates probably won't run away, but it's hard to say if you don't. Don't worry, we still make a lot of money."

Xia Pengfei didn't know why Guan Shijie was confident that he would not lose money. His legs were on others, and he ran away as soon as he said he could not find anyone.

But when he saw Guan Shijie full of confidence and recalled Luoyang's enrollment, he stopped talking about anything.

The ten-day period for recruiting workers was soon reached.

On October 5, the accounting of the industrial company reported the number of people summarized from the recruitment points in various places to Xia Pengfei, with a total of 53,782 people.

Xia Pengfei was shocked. He thought that it was the limit to recruit 20,000 people, but he didn't expect there would be so many people.

In fact, most of the crops have been harvested in this season, and the forest farms in each village have a lot of surplus labor. It is better to make more money while the slack season is taking advantage of the slack season to survive the spring that is not suitable for the rest of the country.

What's more, there is a settlement fee, and the wages are high, which is not paid by the Japanese. Many young and strong laborers have signed up.

Xia Pengfei sent the roster to Yao Wenwei's office. Yao Wenwei was overjoyed after seeing it. The first order business started well. Although he didn't make much money, it exceeded his expected goal.

Next was Wu Yanzhang's job. He worked in a mess for two or three days before he finished obtaining the certificate of more than 10,000 people.

The Labor Department of Manchu Railway Corporation and the railway recruitment labor officer Ichiro Sato at the same time, also remitted the remaining funds to the account of Wenwei Trading Industry Company.

On the same day, the first automatic mahjong machine was manufactured in a small factory in Xinjing.

After the three of Guan Shijie, Yao Wenwei and Xia Pengfei tried it personally, they saw that the cards they were coded were regular, but the front and back of the mahjong were mixed and there was no imaginary effect. They felt a little disappointed.

What's the problem

After thinking about it, Guan Shijie suddenly remembered the magnetic mahjong machine in later generations, and the mahjong and tabletops were magnetic, so he told the people in the factory.

October 8th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese festival.

On the first day, Yao Yunxi, the wife of Wan Benchu, the Director of the Manchurian Taxation Inspection Office, gave up dozens of invitations to invite relatives and friends to party at his home.

That night, Wan Benchu's house was full of guests. As soon as the guests entered the living room, they were attracted by two square mahjong tables covered with velvet cloth.

"Mrs. Wan, do you have to play twice before eating?"

"Hey, what new thing is this, and it's still powered up?"

"This is not a mahjong table."

The visitors were talking about it. They walked closer and took a closer look. This thing that looked like a mahjong table was different from an ordinary mahjong table. Not only was there electricity, but there was also a small disc in the middle with buttons on it.

But there are dice on the small disc.

Yao Yunxi smiled slightly, walked to a table of an automatic mahjong machine, and pressed a button.

The guests heard the clamor of the mahjong shuffling, but couldn't see where the mahjong was, and couldn't help but wonder.

After the sound of the shuffling lasted for dozens of seconds, everyone saw a magical scene. A long strip was hidden in the table in front of the four people playing mahjong, and then neatly took out seventeen pairs of mahjong cards with the code.

"Sisters, come on, you guys will play two first," said Yao Yunxi.

Zheng Pingru stood beside Guan Shijie. Seeing this new thing, she remembered Guan Shijie's talk about automatic mahjong machine and asked: "This is what you said, don't code and shuffle the automatic mahjong machine."

"You can try it too, and see if it works." Guan Shijie said with a smile.

Zheng Pingru handed Guan Yaya over to Guan Shijie, walked to a seat next to the mahjong machine and sat down and said, "Sister Yunxi, I'll try it too."

Chen Mingzhu, Xiao Liying and Cao Xiu'e also walked over and sat in their respective positions.

The four of them sat around in front of the automatic mahjong, and behind them, they all surrounded each other, looking at the fresh thing with interest.

"Sister, roll the dice first." Yao Yunxi said, pointing to a button with a dice pattern.

Zheng Pingru pressed it, and the two dices started to spin in the turntable. After a moment, he stopped and scored a seven o'clock.

Chen Mingzhu also pressed the dice button opposite the door, and it was eight o'clock after stopping.

Four people were playing cards, and within a few minutes Zheng Pingru was confused.

Yao Yunxi pressed the shuffle button, and the small disc in the middle rose by more than ten centimeters, and a circular black hole appeared.

Following Yao Yunxi's guidance, the four people pushed the mahjong card in and pressed the shuffle button, and then they heard the shuffle sound again.

“It’s amazing.”

“I’m not so tired anymore when playing mahjong.”

"Yun Xi, where did you buy the baby?"

“Where can be sold”

...

Guan Shijie and Yao Wenwei patted each other on the shoulders, and they knew that the industrial company would soar into the sky and make money.
