Chapter 664

November 15, mid month.

With the end of the year approaching, Drake chamber of Commerce has fully turned to the Christmas cycle.

From the new world to the Indian Ocean, the tension and bustle before the festival are everywhere. The original mature ship fleet was sparsely broken by Holiday scheduling, so the navigation accident rate increased by 30%.

Just yesterday, even freon, commander of the second formation directly under the Royal harbor, received a named reprimand from the fleet staff office. The wording of the text was so strong that his heart had been silent in the branches under the Christmas tree.

The public reprimand of Lorraine's son's fleet is the top news of the chamber of Commerce these days.

Since then, the second is that this year's Christmas holiday will be distributed in the form of 15 to 40 days. The specific reference is the post score of each employee, which is the average score of the previous two years.

Third, the chamber of commerce is preparing to start preparing for the establishment of the Asian branch after the Christmas holiday. The asset management company is collecting volunteers. The selected candidates will receive preferential treatment of 10% salary increase every year for three years.

And fourth, something happened to the Drake Federation of trade unions in Miami.

On November 7, Budapest, the third accountant of the Federation of trade unions, reported six crimes, including corruption, abuse of power, and deliberately creating contradictions between management and labor. The information management company of the Federation of trade unions attached great importance to it and Carmen personally led the team. The investigation team blocked the archives of the Federation of trade unions on the same day.

The investigation lasted four days. On November 12, Drake terminated the employment of seven people below Clark nurens. Miami Sheriff arrested them in the chamber of the Federation of trade unions and transferred them to the parade Court on the same day.

On November 13, the Federation of trade unions launched a special bill. The former vice chairman Jane emmashi, who received high praise in the investigation, took over the chairman without dispute and began to form a new service team of the Federation of trade unions.

Father Shandas, the bishop of the Florida diocese, presided over Emma * * *'s oath of office. Lorraine, who rarely participated in the oath taking activities, attended in his busy schedule and personally handed the letter of appointment to the second president and the first female president of the Federation of trade unions.

He also delivered a speech, asking the Federation of trade unions to clarify their bounden duties and responsibilities, serve workers more attentively, rebuild trust, make up cracks, and make a good link between management and workers, rather than becoming a parasite adsorbed on the contradiction between labor and capital.

On November 14, that is, yesterday, the first trial of the high-level corruption case of Drake Federation of trade unions was held in the first trial Hall of Hekou District. A total of 369 Drake labor representatives attended as observers, and Miami mayor dipyani led the jury.

In the face of sufficient evidence, former Chairman Clark nurens confessed to the allegations that he embezzled 417 pounds, 13 shillings and 6p of membership fees and activity expenses in one year in 1787, and maliciously encouraged labor to oppose management in order to concoct false accounts.

His sentence will be handed down in the second trial in two weeks. If there is no accident, he is likely to face more than ten years of forced labor and at least three years of imprisonment.

Lorraine and Carmen are talking about this case. The place is Lorraine's study, with Wang Ye and pierce nearby.

"Carmen, the corruption of ￡ 400?"

"It's true." Carmen shrugged disdainfully. "At the beginning, I asked faraming to intimidate Budapest accountants with fake accounts. Because the accounts of the Federation of trade unions are scattered and the users of funds generally lack financial concepts, even the accounting with meticulous work can't avoid uneven borrowing and lending."

"Adjusting loan names and selectively splitting or merging loans are routine financial operations, even if they are explicitly prohibited in our financial regulations."

Lorraine rolled her eyes: "that is to say, even if Budapest is a perfect man dedicated to the public, your accusation will not fail?"

"Yes, the accusation of false accounting is very vague. Even if he has no personal problems, I have good reasons to dismiss him."

"Er... Then I really found out the problem?"

Carmen shrugged: "Clark nurens is a fool. In order to win over various trade unions and set up a special fund for his rich, public and selfless people, he privately set up a special fund for the chairman.

"The whole accounting office is a participant, because the allocation of the Federation of trade unions is very limited. His special funds have to be drawn from the contributions of member trade unions, that is, from the dues submitted by workers. It reached more than 400 pounds a year in 1787 alone."

"It seems that he doesn't regard himself as the Savior of the proletariat. I overestimate him..." Lorraine was a little depressed. "Next, what are you going to do about the Federation of trade unions?"

"I have officially recognized the chairman's activity fund." Carmen smiled charmingly. "The project fund consists of two parts, one is 5% of the contribution from the member trade union, and the other is the special appropriation of the asset management company, 300 pounds a year."

"In this way, the new activity fund will reach ￡ 800-1000 per year, but it is not allowed to carry forward, that is, it will be cleared every year, and the balance will not be accumulated to the next financial year."

Lorraine raised her eyebrows: "the last chairman was jailed for the activity fund, and the next chairman got the formal activity fund?"

Carmen nodded: "Jane Emma is a smart man I personally selected. She knows that her predecessor was abandoned because she deviated from Liyang. In doing so, I told her more frankly that Clark nurens's bad luck has nothing to do with money. Her guess is all right."

"It seems that our capitalist trade union can finally get on the right track." Lorraine closed the previous incident report and looked up at Wang Ye, who was playing chess with Pierce.

Chess is a Chinese chess. Shi Chaosheng gave it to Lorraine as a gift. Pierce stepped on an oblique angle and ate Wang's car with his taxi. He was busy complaining about the stinginess of the Qing people. He didn't want to recruit all the farmers after the war.

Lorraine showed a disdainful expression.

"When recruiting soldiers, elite is more important than number, and when choosing generals, wisdom is more important than strength. This is the truth that the Qing people and the previous Han people have always believed in thousands of years of war history."

He said: "what's more, the scale of the war in the eastern kingdom is much more terrible than you can imagine."

"This set of chess is based on a real war during Alexander the Great's eastern expedition. One side of the war is the state of Chu and the other is the state of Han. The two countries are lined up across the river, each with hundreds of thousands of people."

Cluck! Pierce's pawn fell on the chessboard.

"Several... Hundreds of thousands of people?"

"There are at least 100000 people in every country. The eastern kingdom is different from the West. In order to intimidate the enemy, they often exaggerate the size of their army. [40000 troops] in their view, the war has begun when it was called up."

Pierce didn't understand: "the leaders of a country lie without scruples. Aren't they afraid that they can't go to heaven after death?"

"Catholic pagans can't go to heaven, and do you think our politicians don't lie? It's the same. Lying is human instinct, so honesty is education."

Pierce blinked guilty and picked up the pawn on the chessboard again.

"An army of 100000 people, so this carved disc represents 20000 people?"

"You can really understand that."

Pierce was excited, slapped his pawn on the side of the general, occupied the position of the taxi running far away, and proudly said to Wang, "now I have 20000 farmers herding sheep and farming in the castle. You are sure to lose!"

Wang also covered his face painfully: "yes, you are holy..."

I can't play this chess.

Lorraine white also looked at him. "Are you very idle? Is that stone grandpa visiting the new world?"

"Shopping is not boring." Wang also confessed, "the day before yesterday, you two wanted to visit the shipyard in St. Dana. I borrowed the nocturnal incense from Pierce. But when you came back, it was a rainstorm and Miss Shi fainted, so uncle postponed your trip north to New York and Boston."

Lorraine flew over the second white eye: "Miss Shi is unwell. Are you still free to play tricks with pierce?"

Wang also has a red face: "the difference between the host and the guest..."

"Ordinary guests don't ask to marry their daughter to the guide?" Lorraine smiled. "When did it come? It seems to be the 10th, when you visited the pier in Miami Beach."

Wang was also overwhelmed by Luolin's run: "Captain... Boss, uncle Shi just said it casually. I'm over 30 this year, nearly 20 years away from Miss Shi, and only 9 years away from Uncle..."

"It doesn't seem to be a problem in the Qing Dynasty." Lorraine thought, "it's not in Europe. I only see that you're unmarried and she's unmarried. In my opinion, it's a good marriage."

"But Miss Shi is only 12..."

"As long as you can bear it, you can wait until she is 16 and take away her virginity."

Lorraine stood up and opened the map board in his study to reveal Pierce's hand-painted Asian chart.

"Wang Ye, I'll be straight." he looked at the picture and said, "Shi Chaosheng came here with his daughter probably to make two preparations."

"If our strength is poor, he and his daughter will die in a foreign land, so that the Dan thieves can officially declare war with us. If our strength meets his requirements, we will marry Shi Xianggu and make a marriage."

"His earliest goal should be me or pierce. It depends on my opinion, whether he is satisfied with Shi Xianggu and whether he is willing to become the partner's son-in-law. But after seeing you, you are obviously more suitable than us."

"As for you..." Lorraine turned to find Wang Ye. "We have known each other for more than ten years. You have changed from a sailor wandering around for dozens of golden Louis to a capital celebrity with a fortune of more than 100000 pounds. Why haven't you been married? Not only your wife, but you don't even have a lover."

"I can understand that the Qing people attach importance to blood and regard European women as aliens and don't want to get married and have children. But as far as I know, more than ten Qing people in Boston want to marry you."

"San Mei's father is the direct descendant of Yongchun. His daughter has been well taught by tutors, and the living environment has also improved by leaps and bounds with the establishment of the labor community. Why did he suddenly give his daughter to you as a disciple? Did he take a fancy to your gossip dragon?"

"It's good for you. The three younger sisters came to you, but you turned them into disciples at night and forced them to pierce. Why?"

Lorraine sighed: "what you want is roots. You want to go back to the state of Qing, so what you reject is not blood, but belonging. In that case, why don't you answer Shi Chaosheng's marriage proposal? You stay in Valkyrie and Miami and never find a reason to go back to the state of Qing. Do you really intend not to marry all your life?"

Wang also said, "Captain, I'm afraid we'll cooperate with Dan thieves in the future..."

"Cooperation is cooperation, and life is life." Lorraine picked up the teaching stick in the picture slot and pointed it on the icon of Xingdao. "If you are really willing to marry Shi Xianggu, I have some ideas about Asia..."
