Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chen Yan did not expect to receive a call from the principal at this time, but this call did not seem to surprise him. Ned Roddie has a strong sense of professionalism, which he has felt before.

"I have sent the roster to your mobile phone, please review it as soon as possible."

Chen Yan replied:
"Okay, hard work."

A feeling of "hesitating to speak but stopping" came from the other end of the phone.

So Chen Yan asked:

"Mr. Roddy, do you have any other questions?"

Ned Roddy on the other side of the phone heard that Chen Yan suddenly changed his address. The doubts in his mind made him pause for a moment. He didn't understand why "Mr. Baldo" didn't call him "Principal" or "Mr. ", but just called him "teacher".

This is different from the customs in the academic circle of Yanan City.

He did hear a non-imperial accent in Mr. Baldo's voice, which may be the reason for this "unruly" appellation.

Ned Roddie liked it that way, and he liked the way it was called.

Chen Yan didn't hear hesitation from this sentence, which shows that Ned Roddy is very serious.

So they are very angry. "

Based on this consideration, I rejected them.

Even if Chen Yan had experience in another world, Chen Yan couldn't guess what was going on when the choral group suspended or even "abandoned" the spread of faith.

Chen Yan understood what he meant, so he gave a clear response:
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

"You just said I need to go back... What's going on?"

Ned Roddy paused here.

So even church schools were not able to be established here. "

"This is really great! Mr. Roddy, please send their phone numbers to my phone!"

Chen Yan analyzed it from a very objective point of view:

"Mr. Roddy, do you want to come out and have a look?"

"I think it is more efficient to build a processing plant on the island, I don't know why those imperial officials with their butts on their heads don't do it.

"Sorry, I'm in Days Island now, and I won't be able to go back for a while."

The direction of the choral group's efforts is not the island chain, but according to Chen Yan's knowledge, some reforms have actually been carried out within the choral group, and the overall "evolution direction" of the choral group is more scientific—without giving up theology. Down.

Chen Yan said:

"According to what I know now, it hasn't been a long time since the pioneering of Days Island until now, about ten years?

"You may need to come here yourself."

"Maybe it's because I don't have enough observation samples. I think this kind of Days Island—at least the part I've seen so far—is not short of labor.

He responded:

So he was very interested.

Chen Yan thought it was a good thing, so he agreed without hesitation:

For Ned Roddy, a scholar who just graduated, he still has a lot to understand, experience, and learn. If he wants to achieve something, he can't stay in the small city of Yanan all the time. Only by going out for a walk and doing the work that people do can truly understand what the world is like.

The two hit it off, each overjoyed.

Chen Yan looked at the crowds hurrying to and fro outside the window, and suddenly a word came to his mind:
The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

"This morning, the Street Administration Office—this is a new department, similar to the sub-units established by the House of Representatives in each street, we will talk about it later—an official from the Street Administration Office found me and asked to see my school Qualification certificate.

There was a pause of two seconds on the phone.

I called a classmate of mine at the House and asked him to help sort this out.

This is really something he didn't expect before. Before making this phone call, he didn't even have the expectation of solving this matter, because he knew that although the White Pi Gang is a gang, but because of their existence for too long, their relationship It goes directly to the Yanan City Council, and general matters can be settled.

In most cities of the Northern Federation, there are a large number of primary industries (agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry), and the primary industry requires manpower, so people can get jobs from the primary industry.

Chen Yan responded with a very definite tone:
"With all due respect, I've never met an agent who doesn't lie."

Before Chen Yan could speak, Ned Roddy added the most crucial part:
"I happened to come into contact with some gangsters when I was writing for the newspaper, and I knew what kind of things they did and what kind of people they were, so I knew that they must have no good intentions-I knew they were saying such things in Prepare for future protection fees.

The rise of industrialization and automation has reduced the demand for manpower in the primary industry, so a large number of people are unemployed and flood into the city-into the secondary industry (processing and manufacturing).

The relevant documents can be completed in one afternoon, which shows that Mr. Bardo also has connections in the House.

Most of the large factories in the secondary industry are labor-intensive industries. These industries require a lot of manpower and relieve the unemployed labor force in the primary industry. The labor force of the secondary industry, they do not have the technical ability suitable for the secondary industry, they cannot be qualified for factory positions with even a little bit of technical content, and can only carry out the lowest level of simple labor export - the technology we teach in the evening school is to face this. group of people.

"Things are different than everyone imagined."

Ned Roddy listened to the meaning of Mr. Baldo's words, and thought of Mr. Baldo's purpose, and said eagerly:
"I know a few juniors who are doing internships on Days Island. Maybe I can introduce them to you. Although they are not suitable teachers, who is a natural teacher? We can train them, and they will not be as good after graduation. Sure to find a job in this profession...just pay them a decent salary and they'll work for you!"

Then, the mechanical hive should have a super-large factory and a super-large capital-these two things have obviously not yet appeared, but I think their appearance is inevitable. "

And on Days Island... we can extend this scope to the first island chain, which also has developed primary industries (mining, planting), but the island itself has absorbed labor through these industries (whether from inside or outside the island), and there are no processing plants on such islands. "

"The excessive concentration of the secondary industry is doomed to the extreme lack of high-end technical labor in the mechanical hive. Therefore, if night schools that focus on teaching technology can be established inside the mechanical hive, it will be very promising!"

But you know... If there is a first time for this kind of thing, there will definitely be a second time, especially now that the Yanan City Council is unstable, and my classmates can't help me too much. "

Ned Roddy made his own judgment:
"Students did mention this. Most agencies told them that although Days Island is stable, the hourly wages are not particularly high. If you want to earn high hourly wages, you must go to a more difficult place. Some of the islands in the island chain where the primary industries are located cannot even guarantee their safety.”

Sounds outrageous right?

Ned Roddy was actually very surprised when he heard such a reply, because he had thought before that Mr. Bardo should not be prepared for this.

Ned Roddy immediately came to life:
"The situation on the island is completely different from that on the mainland, at least not the same as most cities in the Northern Federation.

After a moment of happiness, Chen Yan asked:

Chen Yan said:

He had some ideas in his mind, so he decided to tell Ned Roddie about the situation on the island.

He explained:

Ned Roddy said incredulously:
"This is really unbelievable. Thinking back to the time when Yanan was still full of wars, the choral group even tried every means to build church schools in the army...

Ned Roddy was a little surprised by such an answer, Mr. Baldo actually took both!

Chen Yan did not interrupt Ned Roddy's words throughout the process.

I don't know the exact number, but I only know that the time from pioneering to the establishment of the mechanical hive is quite short, so short that the pirates and cannibal natives on the island have just been wiped out over there, and the mechanical hive has already begun to be built here, so short that the Holy Light has no time to be there. This spreads faith.

"Mr. Baldo, how is the situation on the island? I heard that the business is developed there, and there are many merchants coming and going, so the level of service industry and salary are very high. Many students hope to work there, but they also have concerns. ——Intermediary fees are too high.

Now, based on replies like this...

They chatted from the pier of Days Island to the mechanical hive, from the mechanical hive to the unique philosophical road design of the mechanical hive, from the specific functions of each area to the influence of the ubiquitous gangs on people...

Ned Roddy had never been in contact with any intermediary except when he was renting a house when he was in college, so he was noncommittal.

For intermediaries that are generally available to everyone, a fee between 30.00% and 20.00% is deducted from the hourly wages of the workers as intermediary fees.

But the reality is like this, there is no secondary industry on the islands responsible for the primary industry in the island chain, and the secondary industry is integrated into the mechanical hive.

Chen Yan didn't feel nervous, because when he decided to build the night school, he knew that the night school would be targeted by some people.

"What's more interesting is that there are no schools on this island."

Chen Yan suspects that the intermediary industry from the mainland to the island chain has turned into some form of black production, but he has no evidence to prove this.

"There are indeed quite a lot of merchants in the mechanical hive, but most of them are small businesses. Here we call shops [hives], which are grid rooms ranging from ten to twenty square meters. These grids are responsible for some kind of business. functions, according to my observations and chats with them, most people follow the path of small profits but high sales.”

But now they actually gave up such a big island. "

"I agree with you, Mr. Roddie."

After confirming this, Ned Roddie said:

"It's really different from what I imagined."

Is the intermediary in Yanan City so dark now...

Ned Roddy did not disappoint Chen Yan, he analyzed it from beginning to end and made his own judgment.

Ned Roddy subconsciously denied:
"how is this possible!"

He and his classmates, as well as the migrant workers who came to attend the night school, had a detailed chat about the emerging industries on the island chain.

But Mr. Baldo gave such a clear answer, and the firmness and indifference in his words can be so reassuring...

Ned Roddy calmed down before speaking:
"We're being watched."

"I have work to be done, Mr. Baldo, thanks to you, I can live the way I want, and I am completely satisfied with it."

Especially Days Island, which is the closest to the empire.

Although most of the content in this chat is bragging, and it is also based on the infinite beautification of the high salary of the mechanical hive, but Ned Roddy still understands the difference between the island chain and the mainland from the side.

When it came to the end, Ned Roddy's voice was full of ridicule.

"I still have my own job."

Chen Yan tasted what was behind his plain words, and asked him for advice:

When he heard this name, he subconsciously thought that a rich man like Mr. Baldo should be doing business. A person of his level should be doing big business. The super-large ship that is bigger than the largest heavy factory in Nan City is berthed. Is Mr. Baldo's ship berthed in such a berth?

Chen Yan's suggestion touched his heart.

In other words, even if they can come here, the hourly wages will not be too high. "

Chen Yan scratched his head.

Although Ned Roddy's voice was slow, it didn't give off a dull feeling. It was as natural as the snowflakes falling freely outside the window.

But even so, the fundamental nature of religions determines that they must spread outwards-this is completely different from what they are showing now.

"I was negligent, and I will send you the relevant documents this afternoon."

Even the official intermediaries led by the House of Representatives have to take more than ten percent of their hourly salary as agency fees, but their quotas are always full. Who knows why their quotas are full?I'm afraid only Shengguang knows! "

Ned Roddy replied:

"Mr. Roddy, what do you think of building a night school on the island?"

For Deathland, which was mentioned many times by his classmates, Ned Roddy was almost familiar with it. The "paradise" mentioned by this migrant worker has been mentioned countless times by the students who found him these days, so that he even had a stress reaction ——

"Who is it?"

His judgment was almost exactly the same as Chen Yan's.

"The second wave of people who targeted us was really unexpected. It turned out to be a gang from the Whiteskin Gang. They came to promise to protect the night school from being harassed by other gangs."

What kind of man is Mr. Jack Baldo?

Ned Roddy was really shocked for a few seconds before continuing:

"The second thing, excuse me, after the last call, I recruited some students who had nowhere to go without your permission."

This……

It seems that there is no big problem.
