"Father, ah Yao suggested that I dismiss all the employees of Likang now. I want to ask my father''s opinion." at the table of the Chu family''s mansion, Chu Xiaoxin bowed his head and said, afraid to look into his father''s eyes.


    My father is the one who pays most attention to the friendship between hometown and host. All the staff are Chaozhou fellow townsmen who have been loyal to the Chu family for many years. As soon as I say this, I think it''s time for my father to roar.


    But after waiting for a few seconds, Chu Xiaoxin didn''t get a response. Chu Xiaoxin looked up at his father and found that Chu Yaozong still drank the old fire soup slowly in his hand. He didn''t seem to hear what Chu Xiaoxin had just said. Chu Xiaoxin looked at his eldest brother Chu Xiaozhong opposite him. Chu Xiaozhong rarely smiled at him and said, "Secretary song is right. If Likang wants to be bigger, he really should change."


    Is this your brother who mocked when he was free? Chu Xiaoxin stared at Chu Xiaozhong puzzled and doubted his intention to help song TIANYAO speak now.


    "Don''t look at me like that, a Xin. I really can''t see you because you didn''t work hard before. But now that you have Secretary song to help you do the right thing, I must agree that Likang people really should be dismissed. However, my opinion is that it doesn''t need so much money to do the contraband business. It''s better to retire slowly. After all, those are all for the family As an old man for a long time, we should always find a place for them to settle down. We can''t let everyone say that our Chu family is too mean. "After Chu Xiaozhong said that, he continued to eat politely.


    Chu Xiaoxin thought for a long time, but he didn''t find the problem in his eldest brother''s words. He really made a lot of sense, and Chu Xiaoxin actually preferred not to dismiss everyone at once.


    But my big brother really changed his mind? Know how to be respectful with brothers and sisters?


    "Don''t you have much money left from Song TIANYAO''s gold bars?" Chu Yaozong didn''t give the answer Chu Xiaoxin wanted. Instead, after slowly drinking the soup, he looked up and asked Chu Xiaoxin with a smile.


    Chu Xiaoxin subconsciously wanted to lie, but when he remembered what song TIANYAO said to him, Chu Yaozong told him truthfully when he asked. He wouldn''t be angry. He hesitated a little and nodded: "it''s really expensive these two days. Father, I''m wrong."


    "I''ve made progress. I can''t believe I''m wrong. It seems that your secretary taught you a lot. Likang''s staff are old people. They''ve been storming with the Chu family for so many years, so they arranged for half of them to go to the textile factory in North Point and half to the oil refinery in Kwun Tong. Ah Zhong, you arrange this in person. Everyone will help me pack an extra 200 yuan red envelope." Chu Yaozong looked at Chu Xiaoxin with a smile, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and said to his eldest son Chu Xiaozhong.


    Chu Xiaozhong wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin: "Yes, father, I''ll arrange it tomorrow. But I really want to get rid of all the people in Likang at one go? Would it be better to take your time? Although Secretary song is capable, if you do so, it doesn''t mean telling the old people that a new secretary song is more valued than all of them? It may make everyone uncomfortable. After all, going to the factory is more important than they are now Businesses have to work hard. "


    The Chu family always gave preferential treatment to their fellow workers. Because they were fellow villagers, Chu Yaozong was equal to the leader of Chaozhou people in Hong Kong. Therefore, the Chu family never made money by exploiting and squeezing the wages of their workers.


    "Those people stay in Likang, trembling, I''m afraid it''s more uncomfortable." Chu Yaozong said: "they worry about being calculated by song TIANYAO all day. It''s better to go to the factory and be safe. Transferring people one by one makes them more nervous."


    "I see." Chu Xiaozhong listened to his father''s explanation and said nothing more.


    Chu Yaozong looked at Chu Xiaoxin with a smile: "in addition to repaying Likang, do you have anything else to tell me?"


    "No," Chu Xiaoxin replied to Chu Yaozong.


    "Really not?" hearing his second son''s answer, Chu Yaozong became interested: "when you come back tonight, I''ve been waiting for you to say that Likang is ready to smuggle. Please Lao Dou, I''ll help you with the Administration for Industry and commerce. Song TIANYAO didn''t tell you?"


    "Ah Yao did say that smuggling should be handled by the Department of industry and commerce. Tonight, he may forget to tell me about it. Father, it''s better to..." Chu Xiaoxin was surprised to hear that his father was rarely kind to himself, and even helped him with some relations. He wanted to promise.


    Chu Yaozong shook his head: "he won''t forget this kind of thing. It only means that he''s not going to borrow even a little relationship with the Chu family. He''s going to hold you high and have ideas. However, I''m curious about how he''s going to catch up with those ghost guys of the Administration for Industry and commerce. Ghost guys are very greedy for money."


    "The higher you hold, the heavier you fall." Chu Xiaoxin asked carefully when he saw that Chu Yaozong was in a good mood tonight.


    Chu Yaozong looked at Chu Xiaoxin somewhat disappointed. Chu Xiaoxin didn''t have such a mind as himself and ah Zhong, but he was really lucky. He was a fat rich childe and a scheming squatter youth. Song TIANYAO was Chu Xiaoxin''s money cow and Chu Xiaoxin was song TIANYAO''s windward flag.


    ……


    Song TIANYAO got up from the Doris hotel the next day, sat in the restaurant and looked at the free English newspaper. While reading it, he lamented that many financial resources in Hong Kong were actually hidden in the English newspaper.


    For example, the announcements of government auction or government bidding procurement will not be published in Chinese newspapers, but all in English newspapers. The purpose is naturally to leave these ways of making money to the British themselves on the basis of fairness and openness.


    However, song TIANYAO does not care about the business opportunities in those newspapers. He is mainly reading the recruitment advertisements in English newspapers. In Hong Kong, only when Hong Kong colonial government agencies recruit local civil servants will they publish English recruitment advertisements in English newspapers. If he can''t even understand the English recruitment advertisements, he is not qualified to apply.


    Although the colonial government claimed that Hong Kong people ruled Hong Kong and the civil servants of government agencies were localized after the end of World War II, it was still British people ruling Hong Kong. Senior officials and principal officials of all political departments in Hong Kong were British, and even middle-level positions in sensitive departments such as police, finance, justice and customs had to be selected from Britain, Most of the so-called local civil servants actually do chores in various departments, and they are responsible for heavy work, but promotion is far from expected. Moreover, the salaries of British civil servants and Hong Kong local civil servants are completely different. The salaries and allowances of foreign civil servants are equal to three local civil servants with the same educational background and qualifications, Moreover, foreign civil servants have fixed annual benefits such as home leave and family visit travel, while local civil servants don''t have to think about it.


    However, even if it is so unfair, there are still a large number of young people who want to work in government agencies. Although they can only be regarded as chores in front of the British, the identity of civil servants is a gold lettered signboard among Chinese. As long as they become civil servants, they can immediately become intermediaries between businessmen and their senior officials. Countless local businessmen will wave money to make friends with themselves, I hope I can know those senior British officials through myself.


    Song TIANYAO''s firm wants to recruit several people. The first choice is to grab talents from the British Hong Kong government. Of course, it can only be regarded as picking up the remaining unsuccessful talents from the British Hong Kong government.


    At this time, song TIANYAO''s eyes stopped on a recruitment advertisement, which was the announcement of the chief secretary''s Department (the colonial department, which was changed into the chief secretary''s department in 1961. This book directly uses the chief secretary''s Department) that the administrative branch under the Chief Secretary recruits contract employees in Hong Kong.


    Contract employees are actually equal to contract civil servants. This can also see the colonial government''s discrimination against Chinese in Hong Kong. Hong Kong civil servants are divided into three categories: pensionable civil servants, non pensionable civil servants and contract employees.


    There is no need to explain the first. Once you become a pensionable civil servant, you can receive salary and benefits all your life as long as you are not prepared to overthrow the governor of Hong Kong. However, 80% of the pensionable civil servants are all British. It is very difficult for the Chinese to hold the golden rice bowl of civil servants of the colonial government of Hong Kong. At least you need to have a degree from a British university and have the experience of studying in the UK, Moreover, the interviewer and the competent department can only exchange such a seat with money, which can not be bought with money.


    Second, there are some civil servants of the personnel agency system known to song TIANYAO. Non pensionable civil servants are uniformly registered and recruited by the employment guidance team of the Labour Department of the colonial government. After passing the examination, they are assigned to work in various subordinate agencies of the colonial government, start running errands in government agencies, and slowly wait for the opportunity to make a start.


    Third, contract workers, that is, government departments are short of manpower recently, but they don''t want to take out the number of civil servants for nothing. Therefore, they recruit contract civil servants. The contracts are divided into two and three years. During the contract period, employees have the status of civil servants and enjoy some civil servant benefits. When the contract ends, if the government doesn''t renew the contract, they will be swept out immediately, This kind of contract workers is the most common and the most common recruitment. Unless employees are extremely capable and loved by their superiors, most of them will be thrown out of the door when the contract ends, and the government department will recruit again. Why? Because the salary of civil servants increases year by year, if the contract is renewed in advance, it is necessary to continue to increase the salary of employees according to their qualifications. However, if the contract is signed after the termination of the contract, employees will have to get the minimum salary again, which saves government financial expenses, and the department head officials can make another profit through recruitment.


    Song TIANYAO is now ready to go outside the gate of the administrative section under the chief secretary and wait to pick up talents.


    It''s no exaggeration to say that there are at least 50 people staring at the vacancy of a contract employee. Song TIANYAO is satisfied if he can pick up three or five of the 49 unsuccessful candidates. However, he doesn''t know whether he can pick it up, because many large commercial firms often do so. Often those candidates can find new jobs in some companies and commercial firms immediately on the day they lose the election.
