Chapter 328 Employee Mutual Aid Association
Lingnan Province.
A small town in Puning.
Luo Xuan, who had just returned to his hometown from Guangzhou, felt a .
The weather in Lingnan in November is still a little hot.
Luo Xuan wore a mask and did not interact with people passing by. He quickly walked along the familiar streets and alleys and came to the door of a two-story bungalow.
The door of the two-story bungalow located in a narrow alley was closed. He took out the key and opened the iron door.
The rusty iron door made a creaking sound that made your teeth ache.
He casually turned on the light switch, and the dim small living room suddenly became much brighter. He glanced at the plastic lid on the dining table, which contained some leftover braised meat and fried green beans.
After changing into slippers, he went to his small room on the second floor.
There wasn't much dust in the room, and the old desktop computer was covered with lace gauze. After he restarted it, the computer was still usable, but the configuration was a bit old.
Plug the network cable into the laptop.
Luo Xuan started checking his email again. In fact, he could also do it using his mobile phone, but the screen was too small to view and edit pictures.
He came back to his hometown this time because he felt that living in the Pearl River Delta was not cost-effective.
As an external employee of Mengguo Company, his basic salary at this time is Ding 4 level, that is, 500 gold yuan, plus a comprehensive subsidy of 150 gold yuan.
During these few months, he not only created the comic book "Mirror Country", but also used his free time to illustrate the company's online novels.
This month he earned 1,132 gold yuan. After deducting the handling fee, he exchanged 1,132 gold yuan for 17,130 Hua yuan at the Bank of China, with an indirect exchange rate of 15.2.
As for gold, which was previously priced at 420 Huayuan per gram, it has now soared to 7,600 Huayuan per gram, and there are not many people in the market willing to sell gold.
The reason for such a sharp surge is that, on the one hand, a large portion of the products and services of Sapiens are irreplaceable.
For example, services in the Strait of Malacca, Kra Canal, and Lombok Strait.
Whether it is the Far East or West Asia, as long as the two sides want to trade, they cannot avoid Southeast Asia as a transit point.
If we want to bypass Southeast Asia, we can only pass through the waters between the Malay Archipelago and Australia, which will increase the distance by about 10,000 kilometers.
Those shipping companies are crazy to choose to bypass Southeast Asia, especially those in the Far East.
Therefore, the shipping service of Zhiren Company has become indispensable.
In terms of products, there is no need to mention medicines. Whether it is the Lanfu Anning antibiotic, the Meisheng preventive medicine, or the artificial cornea for treating vision problems, they are products that are in short supply all over the world.
In addition to this, grain and food will also need to be added in the near future.
Even for non-essential products such as optoelectronic chips, new methane transport ships, and gas-powered vehicles, Sapiens companies are extremely competitive.
The special rule that the gold dollar bundles gold, precious metals and rare metals has forced the prices of gold and precious metals to rise around the world.
We have to raise prices.
Take the Far East as an example. If the price does not increase, the gold at 420 yuan per gram will be used by Zhiren Company through private channels to quickly empty the private gold reserves.
According to statistics from the Precious Metals Bank, in the past three months, private individuals in the Far East have poured 243 tons of gold into the Smart People Company. If the 200 tons of gold sold by Bank of China International is added, the total inflow has reached 443 tons.
In this case, Huayuan must significantly devalue gold to ensure that the gold inside is not lost at an accelerated rate.
The situation was similar in Japan, South Korea, India, West Pakistan and Annan. The foreign exchange reserves of the Jinyuan were insufficient, and they could only use precious metals to purchase the Jinyuan.
However, their internal reserves of precious metals are very limited, and the rise in gold prices is an inevitable result.
If the price does not increase, some people in the society will definitely take risks.
Therefore, Luo Xuan's 1,132 gold yuan can now be exchanged for 17,000 Hua yuan. If he goes on the black market, it can even reach about 18,000.
This income was only considered medium in the Pearl River Delta region at that time.
Of course, that was the average level before the outbreak of the global economic crisis. Now, under the impact of the global economic crisis, the foreign trade in the Pearl River Delta region has been greatly affected.
But Luo Xuan still chose to return to his hometown. After all, his job did not require a fixed office location, so he could work at home.
At home, he doesn't have to pay rent and high utility bills, and can eat with his parents, which saves him thousands of dollars.
With a monthly income of 17,000 yuan, one is definitely a high-income earner in the small town of Puning.
Luo Xuan was modifying an illustration when his cell phone suddenly rang. He looked and found it was his colleague.
"Hey, Xuanzi, have you been to Puning?"
"I'm here. I'm home now."
"That's great. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Several colleagues here will also come. I'll send you the address later."
"Brother Huang spent a lot of money."
"Why are you being so polite? We are all family."
After hanging up the phone, although Luo Xuan was a little socially anxious, he still planned to go to the party.
The employees of Zhiren Company's overseas branches are not left alone, but small groups are set up and managed uniformly in the name of employee mutual aid associations.
Similar to Luo Xuan, he belongs to the Zhiren Company - Far East Region - Lingnan Region - Puning Branch.
The work of the employee mutual aid association is to build relationships, help employees, distribute benefits, organize training, etc.
Brother Huang, who just talked to Luo Xuan on the phone, is the head of the Puning branch.
When Luo Xuan decided to return to Puning, the Yangcheng branch took the initiative to contact him and asked him to transfer to the Puning branch to facilitate future management of the mutual aid association.
He did not have too many negative opinions about the Employee Mutual Aid Association, because the Guangzhou branch had indeed given him a lot of help before.
In fact, few people know that the heads of branches in various regions are all new humans carefully selected by the Sapiens Company, and they have good work ability and professional ethics.
After all, if it wants to grow and develop in other regions, the employees of Zhiren Company must stick together. At the same time, it also requires the regional managers to be capable and loyal to the company.
New humans are the best choice.
Luo Xuan looked at the time and buried his head in his work again. While modifying the illustrations, he communicated with the author of the novel to express his satisfaction.
This kind of work is usually priced on a per-order basis. One order is for 10 illustrations, and the company pays 20 yuan, which is equivalent to extra money.
Because novel illustrations can also be generated directly by AI, but there may be problems with the details, so at this time we need professionals like Luo Xuan to help with modifications.
The main problem with this job is that it is quite troublesome to communicate with the novel author. If you encounter a more demanding client, it may take several days to produce the drawings.
Of course, Luo Xuan has now learned to get off work on time. He works 5 to 6 hours a day and spends the rest of the time doing what he likes.
The extra money earned by modifying illustrations is actually counted as working hours.
Among all the script editors, Luo Xuan is considered to be relatively hardworking. Some people don't even accept illustration orders and only do comic plot design.
The drawing is all done by AI, they only provide the plot, inspiration and modification. The work is very easy, especially for those editors who are serializing popular comics, they don't care about the 20 gold yuan for an illustration order.
Luo Xuan tried a little harder because he wanted to buy a house.
Before I knew it, the sun was setting outside the window.
