Rebirth of America, this is my time

Chapter 111 Hippies and Taxes

Dxxn! Ethan cursed and got out of the car.

What's going on? Damio? Aaron Massey 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. got up.

As they appeared, everyone present turned their attention.

After seeing the figures of Allen Massey and Julis Noble, both the crowd watching at the factory gate and the police officers escorting the people into the car breathed a sigh of relief.

Damio Dean even wanted to speak, but a policeman held his head down and threw him into the car.

The same goes for several other emaciated men. Before they could speak, the police had already taken action.

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

You guys came very quickly today. Finally we are not meeting at the police station.

At the same time, he also moved 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 back with his right thumb and said, After three conflicts in two weeks, Mr. Jones, you finally showed up?

This is really rare!

Ethan frowned slightly at the slightly sarcastic words, but he still controlled his emotions and said in an apologetic tone: Police officer, I have been on a business trip for the past month. I just returned home today. I just got the news, and I’m sorry if my question has caused you any trouble.”

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

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

Now that the police have started arresting people, Ethan has no intention of questioning them. At the same time, he also acted cunningly and did not admit that employees broke the law, but said that employees would not take the initiative to break the law.

He wanted to get some information.

His words made the middle-aged policeman snort twice.

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

Ethan had no objection and asked Aaron Massey to accompany him.

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

After Ethan followed the police car and arrived at the police station in Myobida, the middle-aged policeman also raised his hand and led him to his office.

Although his attitude was a bit stiff, after sitting down, he did not hesitate and directly stated the current situation, Mr. Jones, in the past two weeks, we have called the police three times for your company. Today, that’s the fourth time.”

I can't give you a final conclusion about what happened today, but the previous three times... they were all conflicts between elementary school students, you know?

At this point, the middle-aged policeman looked painful.

And under his narration, Ethan also understood the details of what happened.

As Alan Massey and Julis Noble said, those laid off employees did not interfere with the company's production and transportation, but their behavior was actually more of a headache than the interference.

They did come to the factory to ask for an explanation, but they never trespassed into private areas. Not only that, every time they made trouble, they would use some equipment, such as speakers, in a very 'civilized' manner.

From time to time, they would hold up their loudspeakers and shout at the door, asking Damio Dean to resume their jobs, and if that was all, it would actually be easy to handle.

Because continuous naming and shouting in public can actually be regarded as intimidation, and in California, behavior that puts the victim in continuous fear for his or her own safety can be punished by up to four years in prison.

but……

Those people didn't.

They might come at nine in the morning, shout for three to five minutes, and then run away.

During the lunch break at the factory, I would come over and shout for three to five minutes, and then run away again.

In the evening when the factory got off work, he came over and shouted twice, then continued running.

This kind of non-continuous shouting made it impossible for the police to catch them.

And whenever Damio Dean gets tired of being called...

Your subordinate will 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 did not allow us to obtain evidence of illegal activities by those hippies, so we could only detain them for twenty-four to forty-eight hours on the pretext of cooperating with the investigation, which is not an excuse. Then he was released because there was insufficient evidence.

And today, as we went over, we saw them getting into a scuffle.

so……

I can only bring them back together.

But don't worry, after my people finish asking questions, I will ask them to let your people go first. I will try not to delay your company's production. I know that you are a company that Principal Terman is optimistic about.

At the same time, I also hope that you can resolve this matter as soon as possible and stop embarrassing me, Okay?

The middle-aged policeman looked directly at Ethan.

That old face was full of exhaustion.

These words also made Ethan feel a lot more comfortable.

Because the police knew about Stanford, he gained a lot of convenience in his actions.

But at the same time……

He also had certain thoughts about the description of the whole thing.

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

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

Before Ethan could finish speaking, the other party said, Do you want to say that they smoked cigarettes? Or do you want to say that they illegally possess coke? Or do you want to say that they have contacts with those dealers?

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

“It’s not that I don’t want to send them in, it’s that I can’t send them in.”

Hearing this, Ethan's face suddenly showed surprise.

Because in California, using a controlled substance or narcotic drug is a crime and is punishable by up to one year in prison or a fine of up to $1,000 upon conviction.

If those hippies didn't mess with him, he wouldn't report them.

But now they are making trouble non-stop!

In this situation, if you don't give them a hard blow, they will definitely not stop!

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

Let me ask you, why do you want to hire those hippies to work?

Aren't you just trying to take advantage of them?

“And if you’re going to recruit these hippies, then the rest of the businesses, they’re not going to?”

The middle-aged policeman knocked on the table and said: In Miabida, there are many semiconductor manufacturing companies. In addition to your factory, there are also Flextronics and Intel. They also use hippies.

I can send these troublemakers in.

“But I can’t send guys in who want to go to work!”

If I arrest a hippie who wants to work in an electronics factory for smoking cigarettes today, then there will be countless reports of business competition tomorrow! It is said that some employees in the factory have been smoking for a long time, and we need to Go and investigate thoroughly!”

What will I do then?

Are you arresting each family?

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, it is not easy for a group of hippies who need jobs to appear. They can accept low-cost jobs. If I block this road, the people who rely on taxes to live will kill me!

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

And Ethan also understood what he meant.

He had talked with Evelin about the MXG labor plan before. What they were talking about was that MXG would send workers to America and let them work in low-end jobs to fill the population gap in America.

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

Because labor costs have soared.

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

This kind of industrial migration is inevitable, because the purpose of the company's existence is to pursue profits.

Before, Ethan was also curious as to why hippies were accepted by the public. Now... he understood that it was not society that was willing to accept them, but capital that liked this kind of cheap labor force that had 'reformed'.

In this case, if these guys who are willing to do low-end jobs and earn low wages are removed, the factories that rely on them to reduce production costs will definitely find better solutions.

Although this situation may not be a big problem for Ethan, because the profits of their products are too high, with net profits exceeding 50%.

But it would be a devastating blow to the local economy.

When this situation occurs, the behavior of the police and Xini is understandable. Oh no, they are not actually He Xini, because they are indeed biased towards Ethan.

After the middle-aged policeman finished chatting with Ethan, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to release the people in the Destiny Game. At the same time, he told Ethan that they would lock up those who caused trouble for another forty-eight hours.

Moreover, he also sincerely hopes——

Mr. Jones, I know you are not simple, so I implore you to resolve these matters as soon as possible.

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

I may not be able to catch those smoking hippies, but I can help you get rid of the dealers.

As long as you keep setting up factories here.

Thank you. Ethan nodded slightly, Sorry to trouble you.

After coming out of the police station, Ethan returned to the factory with the employees.

Along the way, Damio Dean kept his head lowered and did not dare to say a word.

Ethan ignored his behavior.

After meeting the factory workers again, he first apologized to the hard-working people and promised to pay them a consolation payment equal to one month's salary for the trouble they suffered.

Then let Allen Massey comfort those who got into the orange and ask them about today's events.

Finally, he greeted Damio Dean and entered his office.

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

Boss, I have tried hard 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 things did happen because of them. If they were just like everyone else, none of these problems would have happened today...

Damio Dean thought Ethan was blaming him for the way he handled things.

So after he opened his mouth, he kept explaining his point of view.

But these don't mean anything to Ethan, because he thinks Damio Dean did the right thing, and what he wants to ask is - I'm asking you! Why wasn't the matter reported to the police?

Ethan yelled, You did the right thing by firing 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 already happened for two weeks and the police have called the police three times!

Don't you know? People addicted to flying smoke can become insane!

In that case, they may pose a personal threat to you!

I let you come here as a supervisor because I think you have the ability to control this factory, and you have proven that without me, when encountering emergencies, you can make decisions that are beneficial to the factory and beneficial to the workers. A favorable judgment, but these are not the reasons for you to disregard your own life, right?

That's right! This is the most popular thing about Ethan!

He is working as a hands-off shopkeeper, but he is not dead!

He didn't know anything about such a big thing happening in the company?

Isn't this funny?

And what surprised him the most was that Damio Dean was on the front line?

Isn’t this guy mentally ill?

Since those people are looking for him, then he should hide!

Wouldn't it be a crime to let those people enter the factory to cause trouble and then invade private property?

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

And when the roaring sound was like a torrential flood, Damio Dean, who was standing there, was stunned. After hesitating for tens of seconds, he told the reason——

Boss, since you are negotiating with Nintendo, I don't want to disturb you.

This is a very large video game market. Cooperation with Nintendo can bring us huge benefits. In the face of those benefits, this kind of controllable little thing is insignificant.

As for me disregarding my own life?

I really didn't expect this.

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

Since you handed over the factory to me, I must protect the production function.

have to……

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

If this guy really was thinking about the company, Ethan really couldn't curse him.

I stared at the guy who was a few years older than me...

Ethan suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to have told him when he was applying for the job that he liked the Snake he made very much. He was an avid fan of Snake.

At that time, Ethan was still jokingly thinking that if something unexpected happened to the company, this guy would probably rush to the front line, but now... he has rushed to the front line.

He rushes faster than anyone else!

Rolling, rolling, rolling...

Ethan didn't know what to say, so he got angry and told him to get out of here.

And when Damio Dean went out for no apparent reason, Ethan felt something was wrong.

Special code, this is Damio Dean's office, not his office!

Then why is he staying here? Are you looking for anger?

The special code is so angry!

Ethan got up and walked out.

When he found that the factory was operating normally and three subordinates were gathered together, looking at each other and not knowing what to do, he waved his hand and said: You can do whatever you need to do!

I will find a solution for this matter!

This 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 give me a 50% salary increase!

Also, don't do anything stupid!

When this fact emerged, 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 is complimenting you.

Aaron Massey patted the young man on the shoulder and said, Well done.

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

This time, he shouted: Oh! Sxxt! Allen, take me back!

My special number came in your car!

FMxxK! You people really piss me off!
