Chapter 83 Great Depression (2)

Lorraine was not a member of the communist party, so Lorraine was easy to bribe

The great warden was born for the benefit and changed the rules because of corruption

Praising the age of planes, they would be willing to destroy another plane, even if it was only 1 % of their profits

If Lorraine was also of blood, he must have come from the jewish family

Without even explaining the pros and cons, Lorraine compromised, or he had already figured out the pros and cons

However, from this point on, Huang Xuan could also get a glimpse of this 100,000 year old brain

This guy's imagination was basically similar to that of a smarter dog

So, Mr

Lorraine liked the energy that profit brought, but he didn't know how to get it

Huang Xuan smiled smugly and thought that he was a perfect match for a low intelligence warden

Of course, it was just his imagination

Ford's current model a car is selling well, but during the transition period, the six-month suspension of the 1927 model caused them a lot of damage - during this period, Henry

Ford and his son, Edsel

It took six months for ford to develop the a car

Although it was still very fast, the forced transformation made it lose its position as the world's number one car manufacturer

However, ford still has its own rouge car manufacturing center, the ideal self-sufficient car city for ford, where raw materials and car products can be made in the same place

Until a hundred years later, rouge was still the largest car manufacturing center in the world, owned by a single car factory, where the widely circulated assembly line technology began to originate

Since the grain was already worthless, huang xuan had little interest in selling a batch of grain cheaply

Detroit was a chaotic city, a city of iron and blood, where Huang Xuan seemed to be infected too - he found three gangsters who were left alone, robbed a suit, and even raised a dollar

That's enough to get to rouge

It was said to have been the place where ford lived when he was a child

The scenery was beautiful, but in the 1930s, people who worshipped productivity decorated the place with thick smoke

In normal production, there were 100,000 people working at the same time in rouge, which was a small self-sufficient city

Rouge was hiring every day, and during the great depression, ford was one of the few companies that raised their wages, especially Henry

Ford's proposed five-dollar working system reportedly raised wages by 100 %

However, according to Huang Xuan's understanding, this was not to contribute to the great depression, but to better stabilize the skilled workers

Just look at the never-ending recruitment behavior in front of the factory and you can see how mobile it is to maintain the total number of tens of thousands of workers in an era where contract guarantees are still unclear

Mr

Ford recruits about a hundred people every day, and when necessary, The number of recruits would even reach a thousand

The money spent and reduced productivity proved that higher wages were appropriate

That's the truth

Most of the workers standing next to Huang Xuan had thick arms and dull eyes

As long as ford had skilled workers, the training of talent might have happened in the 1990s or the 20s, but it would never have happened in the great depression

In this era of countless factory bankruptcies, men with only strength could not get five dollars, but most people still wanted to try their luck

A middle-aged man in a brown coat came out and stood outside the notice that had been written all year round, shouting, "Someone who can use a milling machine to come in

" As he spoke, he lifted his head and left

More than a dozen young white men happily walked in, and before long, more than half of them came out dejected

Huang Xuan tried to ask people about ford's technology department, but was disappointed to find that people thought the factory was the technology department

However, Huang Xuan was not in a hurry

On the one hand, he could stay for about 10 days this time

On the other hand, he had some doubts about what to bring home

He needed to observe carefully - the great depression was caused by overproduction, but it wasn't always overproduction

According to Lorraine's information, the cheapest products in this era were agricultural products, but the most difficult to obtain were also agricultural products

When farmers found out that the transportation fee for a sheep to the town was higher than the price of the sheep, they would kill and throw it away without hesitation

The same was true for wheat and corn

Some people wondered why they didn't store these things well and wait until the price rose before selling them - it depended on whether the price of preservation exceeded the farmers' expectations of the depression

No one knew when the depression would end, and very few were willing to spend another sum of money to preserve these products

In fact, for a long time, most products were worthless

The problem with Huang Xuan is that even if you have a lot of money, you can't buy the goods you want

This is the essence of the crisis

Everything is out of sync with the rules

Soon, someone shouted that those who met the requirements would get the interview, while Huang Xuan waited outside with most of the people

" Boy, what do you know

" The speaker was a hispanic american with a big beard and a talkative old man

" Maybe

" Huang Xuan flipped his hand and said," drive

" His go-kart was pretty good

Everyone in the united states could drive

The old man turned his head

He was a skilled worker

From his conversation, he could tell that he had done a lot of work: docks, lathes, construction

However, he was older than the bosses needed, so in 1930, he joined the ranks of unemployed proudly

Raising his head, he looked out

It was still a short distance from the outskirts of Detroit

The black guy who drove him here charged him an extra 10 cents, and there were not many places to enter the ford factory except for the conspicuous gate in front of him

I think we can wait

He looked around at the well-dressed but apparently poor quality of life americans

If the americans of the 21st century were to choose, 1931 must have been a more painful year than 1943

On this safe continent, the fear of poverty was far greater than that of the nazis

" Hi, kid

" Uncle latin raised his hand and patted Huang Xuan, who was reading a book, and said," they need two drivers

It's rare

Don't waste it

" He could not help but take his eyes back from the energy screen

The man who hired was still the brown coat man

Huang xuan pulled the Densely woven metal at the corner of his coat and walked in

Almost three hundred people were competing for the two positions

A few strong and big men were eager to try, and the others followed

" We need two people to drive these two cars from green village to here every day, to load and unload our own cargo

" The supervisor talked to himself while the others listened attentively

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted," I've been driving for 20 years

It's no problem even if I give him a ride

"" Then why don't you take it

" There was an immediate rebuttal, and huang xuanze looked around

It was on the outskirts of rouge, and the employees' access was a kilometer away

In front of Huang Xuan was a row of tall bungalows, different from the dilapidated east side

The newly built rouge plant was brand new and modern, although there was no bright glass structure

The sheer mechanical power of the giant device was still evident

Just as the candidates were in a dispute, a few white men in old-fashioned suits came over

The man in a coat immediately walked up and laughed loudly," Mr

Thomas, what do you need

"" A few drafters, and skilled workers who can read blueprints

" Thomas looked around and noticed Huang Xuan

Among a group of barbarians in their 30s, there was a yellow-skinned guy with delicate skin, which naturally attracted attention

The brown coat agreed, leaving more than a hundred people in front of them here to go out and shout for help

In the ford era, 35,000 people needed to be recruited every year to maintain the demand for 50,000 workers

In other words, 70 % of the workers in the ford factory left their jobs every year

The situation in other factories was similar, which was the main reason why ford implemented the five-dollar system

Even so, the replacement of workers was still frequent, and the cost of recruiting skilled workers was far lower than the cost of training new apprentices

" Filipino

" Thomas had nothing to do

He walked near Huang Xuan and asked

" Pretty much

" Huang Xuan was not interested in discussing nationality with anyone

Without the expected answer, Thomas whistled and said to his colleague in a black suit beside him," there are more and more smugglers nowadays

It's disgusting

" The other party shrugged, and huang xuan raised his eyebrows, ignoring the possible racist

The animals were everywhere and had no time to play with them

But another guy with a beard smiled obscenely and said," I bet he needs a job

It looks like he needs it

"" Looks like he didn't find the right place

" Thomas opened his mouth and smiled

At this time, five more people came from afar

The leader laughed from afar and said," maybe he needs it

"" Oh, Julian, do you need it

" A lot of people laughed

Huang Xuan knew what they were talking about, so he took out the remaining five cents from his pocket, popped it up with his thumb and threw it on the ground

He shushed Thomas and said," honky, it looks like you need this

" Honky was a term of contempt for white people, just like white people say black ghosts

When black people despise white people, they usually use this word

When huang xuan said this, the people present immediately laughed

It's not that this sentence is really interesting

They just like to watch the show

Detroit was a tough city, and the game between the workers was usually football, and the unprotected impact was refreshing

Huang Xuan's words to eight white people clearly caused a fight

However, other than the Ford Motor Co, black and white alike were on neutral ground, waiting to see the show

Although the Ford Motor Co guy was wearing a suit, his arms could still encircle Huang Xuan's waist

It seemed that he had no chance

He knew he couldn't beat the eight white men in front of him, but he still looked at Thomas and the others with contempt

He slowly walked out of the crowd and said," I can beat you for a penny with only two punches
