Chapter 295 Capitalists
In just a few days, Bei Hai once again stepped onto Japan's territory, but this time he did not go to Tokyo but directly to Sendai.
Those who know the name of Sintai should know it a little because Mr. Lu Xun once studied at Sintai Medical College, and now there is a picture of Mr. Lu Xun in this hospital. Of course, Bei Hai came this time not to pursue the footsteps of his wise Mr. Lu Xun, but to a very simple word: Boat!
This time, Beihai was not alone in Japan. Not only was Hiroichi Akai accompanied him, but also two shipbuilding experts who brought him, namely Raymond, who designed the Arrow? Sivo, the other one, was Jack Xiangdeli, the construction engineer of their factory. When the Arrow Behai was inspected, he felt a little confused. What's more, he was going to receive a seine fishing boat with a displacement of more than 7,000 tons and nearly 8,000 tons. Without a professional following Beihai, he really couldn't tell anything good or bad.
If you say that the Japanese habits are really similar to those in China. As soon as they arrived at Sendai, Hiroichi Akai arranged a welcoming banquet for Bei Hai. Fortunately, Comrade Haoyi knew that Bei Hai didn’t like drinking or even like an overly lively environment, so there were only five people at the welcoming banquet. In addition to the four who came with them, there were also the manager of the Sendai branch of the Shinkai Trading Company.
The next day, Bei Hai just opened his eyes and finished hygiene. Standing in the living room of the suite, he opened the curtains and found that the weather outside the window was very bad. The sky was not only gloomy, but also small snow slags floated in the air.
"This weather!" Bei Hai had just nagged and heard a knock at the door.
When he opened the door, he saw that it was Hiroshi Akai, and asked quickly: "Have Jack and Raymond both got up?"
"Everyone is up, I'll come over and ask you if you can set off!" Hiroshi Akai said with a warm smile on his face.
"I'm ready. If you all are ready, then leave!" Bei Hai didn't say much and just left the door. Then he took the door and walked towards Raymond's room with Hiroichi Akai and the others.
In less than five minutes, six people arrived at the hotel entrance. At this time, the two cars arranged by Hiroichi Akai arrived almost at the same time.
"How long will it take here to stop the boat?" Bei Hai asked Hiroshi Akai as he looked at the little rain floating outside the window.
Hiroichi Akai had no idea that he had to ask the driver in front of him in Japanese before answering: "It's about forty minutes."
"The snow will not get heavier and heavier, right?" Bei Hai was a little worried about today's weather.
Hiroichi Akai heard this and said, "Don't worry. Today is Xiaoyu, the little snowflakes in the morning are given away." While speaking, Hiroichi Akai took out a folder from the file bag he carried with him and handed it to Bei Hai.
"This is the information of the existing crew members you want. The sailor's chief mate and the captain are not included. These people are other people's employees and they have to accept new ships. Now you have information about the sailors if you want, you can continue to hire them, but it's not easy to talk about the salary in just one month!"
"I'll take a look first!" Bei Hai is preparing for a month, and if it drags on, it will be the Lunar New Year soon. Even if these Japanese crew members can hold on, they will go home to celebrate the New Year with their parents. When can't make money now? It's much more profitable for Bei Hai than to make money for the whole family to spend the New Year together.
After opening the folder handed over by Hiroichi Akai, Bei Hai found a problem. There was no Japanese on this sailor list. There were 28 sailors in a total of 28 sailors on a boat. Some people with messy names don’t know which country they are from, but they still know the Chinese characters of Chen and Li. Even if they don’t know the nationality in the brackets in the Chinese characters, can they still not recognize the big Chinese characters?
After turning back, Bei Hai couldn't help but look up and asked Hiroshi Akai, "Why don't your Japanese company hire Japanese sailors? Why can't I even see a Japanese on this piece of paper?"
Hiroichi Akai said directly: "The first mate and sailors are all Japanese. Most of the sailors who work are not. Because the salary requirements of Japanese sailors are high, while the salary requirements of foreign sailors are much lower than those of Japanese sailors. Generally speaking, non-technical positions generally sailors will choose these foreigners who come to work in Japan!"
Bei Hai didn't understand what he said. To put it bluntly, the wage level of workers in third world countries is low and it is more cost-effective than that of Japanese sailors! Capitalists are not the ones who make their own calculations. Bei Hai didn't think much after hearing this. Bei Hai, who came to Japan to make a living, believes that he didn't see so much on this piece of paper. He also knew that some people even changed their names to those on the tree on Takeda Mountain. Bei Hai didn't have the heart to sigh at anything now.
"Where did these come from?" Bei Hai asked Hiroshi Akai, pointing to some abbreviations on the list.
As soon as Hiroshi Akai glanced, he put his head on his side and pointed his finger on the list: "These three are Filipinos, these two are North Koreans under political protection. These three are Indonesians!..."
Huh! When Bei Hai heard this, he felt that he had opened his eyes. A fish-catching boat was about to become a small gathering for Asian third world countries, and it was a hodgepodge.
"How can we gather people from so many countries together? Is there any quota for this thing?" Bei Hai joked at Hiroichi Akai.
As soon as he heard this, Hiroshi Akai thought for a while and said to Bei Hai: "This is considered from the perspective of ease of management."
"You said" Bei Hai immediately became a little interested. How can these people be so mixed together easily manage? Isn't it said that the more single the better the management?
"If you use people from the same country, it is not easy to manage at sea, because these people are grouped together. This way, hiring a little is not only conducive to management but also to save costs. At least no one will suddenly ask for a salary increase when going to sea. If there are all May Day people, it will naturally delay homework. In other words, no one can do less work, and no one dares to raise wages first! Therefore, the Japanese are the leader in the entire fleet. As long as the work is arranged, the sailors have a kind of restraint between each other, which will be easier to manage and less trouble."
Damn! After hearing what Kazuichi Akai said, Bei Hai couldn't help but give a thumbs up to these unscrupulous capitalists in his heart. Look at how he has studied the management to such an extent.
"I got news from them that these sailors are pretty good. I suggest that you use them if you don't have the right mind. Anyway, it's not too expensive for a month, it's less than 200,000 yen," Hiroichi Akai said to Beihai.
"Twenty-hundred thousand yen?" Bei Hai calculated mentally. Two hundred thousand yen is about 10,000 yuan, and 1,600 US dollars. This price is really cheap. Can you live in the United States with a monthly income of 1,600 US dollars? Only 20,000 US dollars a year, which is just on the food and clothing line.
"It's really cheap!" Bei Hai sighed after calculating in his heart.
Thinking of this, Bei Haikeng's folder was placed in his hand and said to Hiroichi Akai: "If the ship matter is settled, keep all the work you want to keep, and then we will talk to them about the details!"
The moment he saw the document, Bei Hai thought about the fact that most of the Chinese sailors on the ship hired these Chinese sailors in Japan to make a living, but after hearing Hiroichi Akai, Bei Hai put this idea aside and decided to maintain the status quo. It can be said that Bei Hai's decision now means that Bei Hai is a little more mature. If the previous mood of the ship was in a Chinese sailor, Bei Hai will not do this because it is more rational.
Many people may not like to listen to this, but the reality is that. Chinese people are not necessarily good people, just like they can't slap people in the face, they fall down and help people, and they hit people back and forth after driving a car. Aren't these Chinese? Sometimes kindness does not necessarily lead to good things. There is no shortage of people in this world who put down their chopsticks and curse their mothers. Besides, Bei Hai is preparing to go to sea for a month. It can be said that the time is tight and the task is heavy. If the people they hire have the above goods, what should I do if I give up my picks on the high seas?
