Great Power Project

Chapter 303 My own Spring Festival Gala (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

Yu Qingyang stretched out his arms, showing the pain on his wrist.

Xia Xue smiled satisfied when she saw the watch on Yu Qingyang's wrist.

Yu Qingyang was secretly proud. Thanks to his foresight, he changed the watch and replaced it with the Vacheron Constantin that Xia Xue gave him.

It was when Xia Xue saw that Yu Qingyang was still wearing the watch she had given her that she smiled.

Women are like this sometimes, they are very narrow-minded and easily satisfied.

"By the way, Tian Tian bought you gifts, clothes and bags, all in the dormitory!"

"Who cares that she bought me a gift?" Xia Xue said as she left to go to the dormitory to see the gift Tian Tian bought her.

Yu Qingyang secretly sighed in his heart, men are so difficult!
Especially for men who want to enjoy the blessings of Qiren, it is even more difficult!
After another day of rest at home, it was already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and Yu Qingyang brought Zhao Xinlei to Butitatan.

Hu Dayou, director of the labor service department, two clerks from the labor service department, and two translators were also accompanying him.

The Chinese celebrate the New Year, but the Africans do not celebrate the New Year.

Yu Qingyang and the others came to find workers.

More than 100 people were fired, and the labor on the construction site became very tense.

In fact, if it is in China, there is no need for so many people. For a construction site like this, it would be great to use at most half of the people.

But now, more than 1000 people are not enough.

Zhao Xinlei spends more time on the construction site, and has a deeper feeling for Africans working.

"Mr. Yu, these Africans don't blame them for being poor, if you ask me, they deserve it!
There is no reason for them to be poor!

Last month, something happened on the construction site, which made people both funny and angry!

That worker was fired by me directly! "On the way, Zhao Xinlei told Yu Qingyang what happened on the construction site.

"what's up?"

"That day, I went to the construction site and found a worker, pushing an empty cart, going back and forth between the sand pile and the mixer.

I'll ask, and guess what? "

"What's the matter?"

"It turned out that they were in a team of two, one was in charge of loading the cart and the other was in charge of pushing the cart.

The salary was paid the day before, and the one who loaded the car didn't come to work after returning home!
Then the foreman didn't know, so the person in charge of pushing the cart pushed the cart around in circles.

I asked him, and he said plausibly that he was only in charge of pushing the carts, not loading them! After Zhao Xinlei finished speaking, he smiled and shook his head.

Yu Qingyang couldn't help laughing.

In his last life, he saw a joke on Douyin that two black men were working, one was digging a ditch in front and the other was filling in a ditch behind.

Someone was curious about what they were doing, so they dug and filled.

After asking, I found out that they were a team of three to bury the pipeline. Their division of labor was, one dug the trench, one lowered the pipe, and the other filled the soil.

Today, the people in charge didn't come because they asked for leave, so it turned into digging ditches and filling soil that everyone saw.

Yu Qingyang did not expect that such a thing would happen in reality.

"Hey! As you said, it's unreasonable for them not to be poor!" Yu Qingyang said with a sigh.

It was a two-hour journey from the camp to Butaitan, and I said this all the way, and soon arrived in the city of Butaitan.

Because the brick factory had recruited workers here before, the labor service office was very familiar with the environment and came directly to a market.

Put it on the table and put out the recruitment sign.

Next to it is a market in Butaitan, which is very lively.

There are many people coming and going.

As soon as Yu Qingyang's recruitment sign was put up, many people gathered around, asking about the salary and job content.

Originally, Yu Qingyang thought that Butitatan City has a population of 10,000+ and many poor people, so it should be easy to recruit people.

100 people can be filled in less than half a day.

As a result, Yu Qingyang and the others ignored the urine nature of Africans.

When people heard that they could only rest for four days in a month, they left halfway.

After inquiring again, it was said that there were certain tasks to be completed every day, and more than half of them left immediately.

The surrounding crowd became thinner.

Then I saw the regulations about hygiene and accommodation.

For the sake of hygiene, Yu Qingyang rigidly stipulates that no matter you are black or white, you must take a bath every day and wash your hands after eating.

The dormitory must be kept clean and tidy, and there must be no peculiar smell.

As a result, this good rule for them made the Ajigerians onlookers run another third.

Finally, after recruiting for a day, more than 30 people were recruited.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Zhao, look at this..." Hu Dayou looked at Yu Qingyang and Zhao Xinlei and smiled wryly.

"Forget it, it counts as much as you have. You take the people back first, arrange a place for them to live, have a physical examination tomorrow, and then arrange to go to work." Yu Qingyang was also very helpless.

"Mr. Yu, are you recruiting?" A person asked from behind.

Yu Qingyang turned his head and looked over. It was the bar owner, Stanford Poe.

"Stanford, what a coincidence?"

"I heard from my subordinates that Mr. Yu is recruiting here, so I came here to say hello!
Mr. Yu, have you finished recruiting? "

"No, only more than 30 people were recruited, and there are still more than 100 left!"

"Mr. Yu, there is actually a place that can recruit a large number of workers, and the price is very cheap!"

"where?"

"There is a manpower trading center in Butaitan!
Where a strong worker can buy out his life for as little as two or three hundred dollars.

No need to pay wages in the future, just take care of the food! said Stanford Poe in a low voice.

Although what Stanford Bo said was very subtle, buying out for a lifetime, Yu Qingyang still understood that what Stanford Bo said was that the human trading center was actually the slave trading center.

There are two kinds of slaves there, one is bankrupt slave owners who sell slaves.

Another kind is to sell oneself, similar to the ancient domestic selling one's body into slavery.

Some shabby households could not find a job and had no money to eat, so they could only sell themselves as slaves, at least they could still have food.

Yu Qingyang thought for a while, then nodded, "Stanford, when does the trading center you mentioned have transactions?"

"There's a deal tomorrow!"

"Mr. Yu," Zhao Xinlei also understood what Stanford meant by the so-called human resources transaction, and pulled Yu Qingyang aside, "This is against the rules! We are a state-owned enterprise, and buying slaves is a mistake!"

"Old Zhao, of course I know that buying and selling slaves is a mistake!
You can change your mind!

We are here to free these slaves!
The money for buying slaves should be used as salary advances when doing accounts!

When the slaves are bought back, they can be clearly told that as long as they work hard for three or more years, they will be freed!

If you perform well, you can sign a long labor contract with them! "

"this is okay?"

"Why not? Think about it, how is this operation illegal?" Yu Qingyang asked back with a smile.

Zhao Xinlei thought for a while, and it seemed that there was really nothing wrong with it.

On the contrary, it is good people, good deeds and humanitarian spirit that can be promoted.

"Stanford, please take me to that trading center tomorrow!"

"Mr. Yu, you can't go! It's too messy there, and our security work is difficult!" Before Stanford Bo could speak, Sun Jian stood up and objected.

"Hehe!" Yu Qingyang smiled wryly, "Okay! Mr. Zhao will trouble you to go there tomorrow! Let Zhao Gang and Ou Yang accompany you!"

Yu Qingyang followed Sun Jian's words and handed over the matter of buying slaves to Zhao Xinlei.

Sun Jian is right, there is no need to take this risk.

Zhao Xinlei, Zhao Gang and Ou Yang were left behind, while Yu Qingyang returned to the camp with the others.

The New Year atmosphere in the camp is getting stronger and stronger.

It's not a cheerful atmosphere, but a growing sense of homesickness.

For the Chinese, the New Year is very simple, that is, the family eats and drinks together, watches the Spring Festival Gala and makes dumplings together.

This seemingly simple way of celebrating the New Year actually contains the Chinese people's nostalgia for family and their desire for happiness.

The happiness of most Chinese people is very simple. It is enough for the family to eat together, watch TV, have wine, meat and fish.

You said that there is no burning paper in Africa, and I was thinking that I would not be able to go home and burn some paper for the elderly.

Yu Qingyang heard someone sigh like this more than once.

It is also a custom to visit ancestors' graves during the New Year, and this custom exists across the country.

It can be seen in China that many people who can't go home draw a circle at the intersection at night and burn paper for the elderly.

The wish is very simple, but it is a pity that Yu Qingyang can't satisfy this simple wish.

Burning paper in graves is not just about any kind of paper.

The paper burned on the grave represents the money of the underworld, and represents the yearning of the younger generation for the elderly.

Therefore, Yu Qingyang could only pretend not to hear.

However, I was also thinking in my heart, after the Chinese New Year, when the next batch of goods is delivered, I must ask them to send some paper.

Qingming must satisfy their wishes.

Time passed quickly, and it was thirty years old in a flash.

At dusk, Zhao Xinlei rushed back to the construction site with more than 100 slaves.

The Director of Labor first gave them toiletries and clothes, and then asked everyone to take a shower.

Start registering after taking a shower.

After arranging a place to live, they were asked to stay in the room for the time being and not allowed to go anywhere.

It's not abusing them.

But just in case.

Who knows if any of them have an infectious disease.

For the sake of everyone's health, new workers have this procedure, temporarily quarantined, and then arrange work after the results of the medical examination.

Because today is New Year's Eve, we can only isolate them first.

In the camp compound, a table was set up early.

There is a stage for performances.

Yu Qingyang made it mandatory that each department should perform a program, and all leadership should also perform a program.

Can't sing, can't dance, go up and tell a joke, or bark like a dog, but you must have it.

It was not completely dark yet, and piles of bonfires had already been lit in the yard.

Tables are set up in the yard.

The bonfire is a kind of local wood, which is said to have the effect of repelling mosquitoes.

This kind of wood has no irritating smell when burned, but has a faint fragrance.

However, black people in Africa do not use this kind of wood to repel mosquitoes.

The method they use cannot be enjoyed by Chinese people, or most people in the world cannot enjoy it.

It is made of cow urine and a red stone powder, mixed into a paste, and applied to the body.

After watching the production once, Yu Qingyang almost threw up.

Chinese people are not the only ones who celebrate the festival at night. Apart from the newly arrived workers, other Berbers are also invited to participate.

After seven o'clock in the evening, everyone came to the yard to do a good job.

Chef Wang has prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone.

Chinese people pay attention to having chicken, fish and meat during the Chinese New Year.

Chicken and fish are a must.

Rooster symbolizes good luck.

Fish represents surplus every year.

They all yearn for a better life.

Tonight, there are not only chickens, fish and meat, but also three-foot-long lobsters and crabs the size of washbasins.

The table was laid out slowly.

This is not over yet, there is a barbecue grill set up on the bonfire in the yard.

Roasted camels and lambs are roasted whole.

The chefs who roast camels and lambs are Berbers.

Among the cuisines of Ajigeria, the only acceptable food is barbecue.

Arabs are very good at grilling meat, and the taste is really good.

The chef, Lao Wang, had a comparison with the Berbers. From now on, he will hand over all the barbecue work to the Berbers, and will not mention the barbecue.

After everyone is done, the party officially begins.

The hosts are Qiao Lili and Xia Xue.

"Today is the Chinese New Year for us Chinese. We miss our relatives a lot during the festive season, but we are far away overseas and cannot go home for the New Year."

"Although we have no way to accompany our parents and family members for the New Year.

But it doesn't matter, we engineers, wherever we go is our home!
It's our family, our brothers and sisters who are doing it.

We have such brothers and sisters who accompany us to celebrate the New Year together..."

After Qiao Lili and Xia Xue finished their opening remarks, they began reporting the program.

"Next, I invite Mr. Yu to speak for us!"

Yu Qingyang walked up to the stage with a glass of wine, "Today is Chinese New Year, it's a big truth, I won't talk about empty talk!

I propose that this glass of wine is a toast to the motherland, and I wish the motherland prosperity and strength! "

After Yu Qingyang finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine.

Qiao Lili filled Yu Qingyang with the wine bottle.

"This second glass of wine, I respect my parents and wish them a long and healthy life!"

Yu Qingyang drank the wine again.

After Qiao Lili filled up the wine, Yu Qingyang held up the glass and continued, "This third glass of wine is a toast to ourselves!

Wish us success in our career, good health, and wishes come true! "

Qiao Lili wanted to go up and fill up the wine, but Yu Qingyang waved her hand.

"Our assistant Joe is so real!
Everyone didn't eat a bite of food and had already drank three glasses of wine.

She also wanted to pour wine.

Don't be in a hurry to drink, there will be wonderful shows and a lot of delicious food in the future.

So, don't worry, eat slowly, drink slowly, and enjoy the show slowly!
Well, I'm done talking!
Last but not least, Happy New Year, brothers and sisters! "

Yu Qingyang's ingenious opening remarks immediately mobilized the atmosphere of the party.

"This is the first time I have seen such a personal speech by a leader!

Do you like this kind of leadership speech? "Qiao Lili went on stage and continued to host the show.

"like……"

There was applause from the audience.

"President Yu said that if you like it, you can't keep talking, let's enjoy the show next.

The first program is the one recommended by the infirmary!

I don't know if the show is good or not.

But I heard from Dr. Xia that their infirmary has become very busy recently.

Many young men like to run to the infirmary when they have nothing to do. "

After Qiao Lili finished speaking, there was a burst of knowing laughter from the audience.

Why are you running to the infirmary?

Needless to say!

Look at the beauties!
"Next, we invite Aviva, a beauty from India, to perform an Indian dance for everyone!"

With Qiao Lili's announcement, the Indian beauty Aviva took the stage.

Aviva was one of the ten beauties given to Yu Qingyang by Mayor Ronald.

　Today's update is a bit late, there is another chapter tonight!
　　Sooner or later there will be a chapter.

　　Originally, I wanted to challenge [-], but it seems that I can't do it!
　　The main reason is that the author is currently on vacation as a dad at home, so there is too little time to code during the day.
