Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 111 Hippies and Taxes
"Dxxn!" Ethan cursed and got out of the car.

"What's the situation? Damio?" Aaron Macy was even more anxious than Ethan. As soon as he got out of the cab, he yelled at Damio Dean who was about to be pushed into the police car up.

As they appeared, everyone present turned their attention to them.

After seeing the figures of Aaron Massey and Julis Noble, both the crowd standing around the factory gate and the police officers escorting them into the car all breathed a sigh of relief.

Damio Dean wanted to speak even more, but was pinned down by a policeman and thrown into the car.

The same was true for the other emaciated men. Before they could open their mouths, the police had already started.

During this period, the leading policeman, who was about forty years old, put away the gun in his hand.

"You guys came here so fast today, at least we didn't meet at the police station."

At the same time, he shifted his gaze to Ethan, "This is..."

"Our boss." Julis Noble said.

"Oh—the inventor of Pac-Man and Snake?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be Ethan Jones?"

The policeman nodded at Ethan, then pointed backwards with his right thumb, and said, "Mr. Jones, you finally showed up after three conflicts occurred within two weeks?"

"This is really rare!"

The slightly mocking words made Ethan frowned slightly, but he still controlled his emotions and said in an apologetic tone: "This police officer, I have been on a business trip for the past month. I just returned to the country the day before yesterday. Just got the news, I'm sorry if my question caused you any trouble."

"Hmm~" These remarks made the middle-aged policeman curl his lips.

Ethan knew that he accepted, so he asked: "This police officer, if possible, can you tell me what happened just now? I believe that my employees will not take the initiative to break the law."

Now that the police started arresting people, Ethan didn't question their intentions.At the same time, he also played a trick, instead of admitting that the employees broke the law, but said that the employees would not take the initiative to break the law.

He wanted to get some news from this.

And his words made the middle-aged policeman snort twice.

Turning around, he waved at his companions, signaling them to speed up. After the seven or eight people were all thrown into the small van, he said, "Go to the police station and talk."

Ethan had no objection and asked Alan Macy to accompany him.

Julis Noble was left by him to preside over the overall situation, and at the same time contacted the lawyers who cooperated with the company.

After Ethan followed the police car and came to the police station in Miabida, the middle-aged policeman also raised his hand and led him to his own office.

Although his attitude was a bit blunt, after he sat down, he didn't make a decision, but directly stated the recent situation, "Mr. Jones, in the past two weeks, we have called the police for your company three times, plus Today is the fourth time."

"What's going on today, I can't give you a conclusion for the time being, but the previous three times...they were all conflicting behaviors of elementary school students, do you know?"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged policeman showed pain.

Under his narration, Ethan also understood the details of the incident.

As Aaron Massey and Julis Noble pointed out, those laid-off employees did not interfere with the company's production and transportation, but their behavior was actually more of a headache than a disruption.

They did come to the factory to ask for explanations, but they never trespassed on private areas. Not only that, every time there was a trouble, they would use some equipment in a very 'civilized' way, such as speakers.

They would hold up their horns and shout at the door from time to time, asking Damio Dean to resume their work, and if it was just these, it would be easy to deal with.

Because continuous name-calling in public places can actually be regarded as intimidation, and in California, the behavior of keeping the victim in constant fear of his own safety can be punished with up to four years in prison.

but……

Those people didn't.

They may come at nine o'clock in the morning, shout for three or five minutes, and then run away.

During the lunch break in the factory at noon, I came back to shout for three to five minutes, and then ran away again.

When the factory got off work in the evening, I came over and yelled twice, and then continued to run.

This kind of non-continuous shouting made the police unable to catch their figures.

And whenever Damio Dean gets annoyed by shouting...

"That subordinate of yours would rush out of the factory with a few workers to confront them."

The middle-aged policeman rubbed his eyes and said, "He asked those people to stop such unreasonable behavior."

"Although his confrontation allowed us to catch those hippies, it didn't allow us to obtain evidence of those hippies' violations, so we can only detain them for 24 to 48 hours under the pretext of cooperating with the investigation, which is not an excuse, and then Released due to insufficient evidence."

"And today, as we passed, we saw them wrestling."

"so……"

"I can only bring them back together."

"But don't worry, after the people under me have finished asking, I will let them let you go first. I will try not to delay the production of your company. I know that you are a company that President Terman is optimistic about."

"At the same time, I also hope that you can solve this matter quickly and stop embarrassing me, Okay?"

The middle-aged policeman looked at Ethan with straight eyes.

The old face was full of exhaustion.

These words also made Ethan feel a lot more comfortable.

Because of the police's understanding of Stanford, he gained a lot of convenience in acting.

But at the same time……

He also has a certain idea about the description of the whole thing.

"Officer, thank you for understanding, and as far as I know, those hippies who keep making trouble..."

"Mr. Jones, I know what you want to say."

Before Ethan could finish speaking, he said conveniently, "Do you want to say that they smoked cigarettes? Or did you want to say that they possessed Coke illegally? Or did you want to say that they had social relations with those traffickers?"

"Your subordinates have told me these things countless times, but I'm sorry I can't do anything about it."

"It's not that I don't want to send them in, but that I can't send them in."

Hearing this, Ethan's face suddenly showed surprise.

Because in California, the use of controlled substances or narcotics is a crime, and upon conviction, can be punished by up to one year in prison or a fine of up to $[-].

If those hippies didn't come to provoke him, he wouldn't report it.

But now they are making trouble non-stop!
In this situation, if you don't give them a hard time, they will definitely not stop!

And when Ethan's surprised expression fell into the eyes of the middle-aged policeman, a smile appeared on his tense face, "Oh—Mr. Jones—it seems that you haven't fully understood these things—"

"I ask you, why do you hire those hippies to work?"

"Isn't it just to covet them for cheap?"

"And since you're going to recruit these hippies, the rest of the businesses, won't they?"

The middle-aged policeman knocked on the table and said, "In Milbida, there are many semiconductor production companies. Besides your factory, there are also Flextronics, Intel, and they also use hippies."

"I can send these troublemakers in."

"But I can't send a guy in there who wants to work!"

"If I arrest a hippie who wants to work in an electronics factory today because of flying smoke, then tomorrow there will be countless reports of business competition! It is said that some employees in the factory have long-term flying smoke. Let us Go and investigate thoroughly!"

"What will I do then?"

"Are you arrested one by one?"

"As long as I dare to arrest people, these companies will dare to move!"

"When MXG's labor plan was cancelled, our labor costs in California have soared several times! Countless factories have moved to MXG!"

"Now, there is finally a group of hippies who need jobs, and they can accept cheap jobs. If I block this road, people who live on taxes will kill me!"

The middle-aged policeman stared at Ethan with dizzy eyes.

And Ethan understood what he meant.

He talked with Evelyn about the MXG labor plan before, and he talked about the MXG sending labor to America, allowing them to engage in low-end jobs to fill the lack of population in America.

When this plan was cancelled, countless low-end enterprises, farmers, fell into wailing.

Because of the surge in labor costs.

In this case, the profit-seeking factories chose to move. They came to the US-Mexico border, MXG side, and they wanted to reduce their production costs in this way.

And this kind of industrial migration is unavoidable, because the purpose of the company's existence is to pursue profits.

In the past, Ethan was wondering why hippies were accepted by the public, but now...he understands that it's not that the society is willing to accept them, it's that capital likes this kind of cheap labor that 'reforms'.

Under such circumstances, if these guys who are willing to do low-end jobs and are willing to earn low salaries are taken away, and the factories that rely on them to reduce production costs will definitely find a better solution.

Although this situation may not be a big problem for Ethan, because the profit of their products is too high, and the net profit is more than 50.00%.

But for the local economy, that would indeed be a devastating blow.

When this kind of situation occurs, the behavior of the police and Xi Ni can be understood, oh no, they are not actually Xi Mu, because they are indeed biased towards Ethan.

After the middle-aged policeman finished chatting with Ethan, he waved his hand to let his subordinates release the people who played the game of fate, and at the same time told Ethan that they would lock up those troublemakers for another 48 hours.

Moreover, he also sincerely hopes——

"Mr. Jones, I know you are not simple, so I implore you to settle these things sooner."

"Of course, I will also keep an eye on the businessman."

"I may not be able to catch those hippies flying smoke, but I can help you clear the traffickers."

"As long as you keep setting up factories here."

"Thank you." Ethan nodded slightly, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

After leaving the police station, Ethan returned to the factory with the employees.

And along the way, Damio Dean kept his head down, not daring to make a sound.

Ethan ignored his behavior.

After seeing the factory workers again, he first expressed his apology to the hardworking people, and promised to pay a condolence money for their troubles, the amount of which was their one month's salary.

Then let Alan Massey take care of those who got into the orange and ask them about the day.

Finally, he greeted Damio Dean and entered his office.

"Tell me, what do you think about this matter?" After sitting down, Ethan asked.

"Boss, I've tried my best to communicate with them, but I really can't let them come back to work." Damio Dean sighed and said: "I know they are innocent, but the matter is indeed because of them. If they didn't fly smoke like everyone else, then none of these problems would happen today..."

Damio Dean thought Ethan was blaming himself for his way of doing things.

So after he opened his mouth, he has been expounding his point of view.

But these didn't make any sense to Ethan, because he felt that Damio Dean did the right thing, and what he wanted to ask was—"I'm going to ask you! Why didn't the matter be reported!"

Ethan roared, "You were right to fire them, but why didn't you tell me!"

"I know you want to work hard to deal with this matter, but why didn't you tell me when it has happened for two weeks and the police have been called three times!"

"Don't you know? People who are addicted to Feiyanfei may be delirious!"

"In that case, they may pose a threat to your personal life!"

"I let you here as a supervisor because I think you have the ability to control this factory, and you have also proved that without me, you can do things that are beneficial to the factory and to the workers in case of emergencies. Favorable judgment, but these are not reasons for you to disregard your own life, right?"

That's right!This is the hottest thing about Ethan!

He is acting as a shopkeeper, but he is not dead!

How could he know nothing about such a big thing happening in the company?
Isn't this Nima funny?
And what surprised him the most was that Damio Dean rushed to the front line?
Isn't this Nima mentally ill?

Since those people are looking for him, then he should hide!
Let those people enter the factory to make trouble, and then won't there be a hat for violating private property?

At that time, it will be easier to deal with it!

And when the roaring sound appeared like a torrential flood, Damio Dean, who was standing there, was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for tens of seconds, he finally explained the reason——

"Boss, since you're negotiating with Nintendo, I don't want to bother you."

"The book is a very large video game market, and the cooperation with Nintendo can bring us huge benefits. In the face of those benefits, this small controllable matter is insignificant."

"As for me disregarding my own life?"

"I really didn't think of that."

"Because what I thought at the time was that staying here and confronting them would guarantee production."

"Since you handed over the factory to me, I will protect the function of production."

have to……

When this reason appeared, Ethan really had nothing to say.

If this guy is really thinking about the company, Ethan really can't scold him.

I stared at the guy who was not a few years older than me...

Ethan suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to have told himself when he applied for the job that he liked the "Snake" he made very much, and he was a big fan of "Snake".

At that time, Ethan was jokingly thinking that if there was an accident in the company, this guy would probably rush to the front line, but now...he has rushed to the front line.

And he rushed faster than anyone else!

"Go go go go go..."

Ethan didn't know what to say, so he angrily told him to get lost.

And when Damio Dean went out without knowing why, Ethan felt something was wrong again.

Exactly, this is Damio Dean's office, not his office!
Then why is he staying here?Looking for anger?
"I'm so angry and confused!"

Ethan got up and walked out.

And when he found that the factory was operating normally, and the three subordinates gathered around and looked at each other, not knowing what to do, he waved his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want!"

"I'll figure it out!"

The roar made the three of them even more afraid to move.

But when Ethan walked out of the factory and was about to go back, he thought of something and turned back, and said in front of everyone: "Damio Dean, you have a 50.00% salary increase!"

"Also, don't do stupid things!"

When this fact appeared, the three people who were still nervous at first breathed a sigh of relief.

Julis Noble smiled and nodded at Damio Dean, and said, "The boss praised you."

Alan Massey patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "Good job."

And just when Damio Dean was about to speak excitedly, Ethan came back again.

This time, he shouted: "Oh! Sxxt! Aaron, you send me back!"

"I came here in your car!"

"FMxxK! You people really piss me off!"
