Chapter 1463 Porter at the dock
Although the people of North Korea and South Korea are the same race, Yang Ming does have a very different feeling because the two places are very different.
At last night's dinner, Yang Ming learned that the representative was actually from North Korea.
Over the past few years, more than 100,000 or 200,000 people from North Korea have smuggled here, forming a large ethnic group.
When Yang Ming and others came to Xiagang.
As soon as I got there, several people in charge of Xiagang were already here.
Several people in charge of Xiagang were transferred from Hutchison Whampoa, a port under the Empire Group. They are mainly white people, but there are also Chinese people. When they saw Sir Yang, Li Caixin and others, they hurriedly came over to say hello.
"Boss, Governor Li."
After they greeted Yang Ming, Li Caixin, He Chaoluo, Lin Xiuzhi and others respectively.
Yang Ming and others put on safety helmets.
During port inspections, it is very necessary to wear a safety helmet.
When one of the white people in charge took Yang Ming and others to a port, he pointed there and said, "Boss, those are the North Koreans."
Yang Ming looked over and saw that these North Koreans looked a little thin.
Of course, this may have been formed before.
In fact, the people of North Korea were prosperous for a period of time because they received the support of the Soviet Union. However, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the new Goose Kingdom could not control it by itself. Naturally, the economy of North Korea was deteriorating day by day, and there was not enough food. Below, many people look thinner.
And these people, after smuggling to the Far East, look much better.
Because here, as long as you work, you will have food to eat and money to earn.
It's just that these people have just smuggled here and have nothing. They can only rely on coolies to support themselves or their families. Of course, they come to work as porters here in Xiagang, because there is a guarantor, which means they need a guarantee from a relevant company or guarantor, and it is impossible for everyone to come in.
When they need a guarantor, it means they want to give a sum of money to the guarantor company or guarantor. Like the North Korea elite representative Yang Ming met last night, in fact, the other party is a guarantor. Reliable people recommend working here at the port.
"Do they usually fight?"
"There were some at the beginning, but no more later. They were a group of people that were easier to manage." said the white person in charge next to him.
Like these ports, there are a lot of goods coming in and out every day, and there are all kinds of goods.
What I'm most afraid of is getting into fights or even stealing things.
In fact, at the beginning, there were fights, but after being expelled, such incidents became less and less.
As for those who stole things, there were quite a few in the beginning.
These people may use their time at work to steal things, because there is a lot of stuff in the port, whether it is food or other mineral resources. As long as they can be stolen, they can use it themselves or sell it to others at a low price.
In the beginning, quite a few people stole things.
But later, after Xiagang increased patrols and security, and if anyone was found stealing anything, he would be fired immediately, so this situation gradually became less common.
Yang Ming and others walked over.
I found many people moving things here at the port.
Like this kind of coolie who moves things.
Now there are Xiangjiang Terminals and domestic terminals. However, with the increasing number of forklifts, there will be fewer and fewer such terminal porters in the future.
Because one forklift operator can carry ten ordinary porters, or even more.
"Isn't there a forklift? Why are there so many porters?" Yang Ming asked.
"Boss, there are indeed a lot of forklift workers in Xiagang now. However, some goods still require a large number of porters to move in and out. However, according to the development of Xiagang, many such porters will be eliminated in the next few years. . Moreover, these porters, if they do not learn forklift technology or other technologies, will be eliminated."
This is also inevitable.
Although it is cruel, how could a large port have such a large number of human porters?
Because then there will be no need at all.
On the contrary, forklift technicians will be needed until the next twenty or thirty years.
Moreover, it is not difficult to learn forklift technology. It just depends on whether these people can master it?
"Call that man over."
Yang Ming saw a somewhat thin middle-aged man carrying some coal.
Why Yang Ming could tell, because the other party's body was all black, these should be coals.
The man was still moving when he was suddenly stopped by a supervisor.
The other person stopped and felt a little strange.
Nowadays, moving items is calculated as pieces, and there is also an ordinary basic salary, which means that the more you move, the more you earn. Every day, the other party works very hard to move.
When the man was called over.
Looking at the white men wearing white helmets in front of him, he knew that these people in front of him were not simple.
He hurriedly bent down to say hello to Yang Ming and others.
The other party spoke Korean, but Yang Ming didn't understand it very well.
In fact, it is Korean, of course there are still some differences from Korean.
"Who knows Korean?" Yang Ming just said.
A person in charge has already stepped forward to translate for Yang Ming.
"Boss, he sends you his most respectful greetings."
"What's his name?"
"Boss, his name is Park Antae."
"How old is this year?"
"48."
"Who's in the house?"
"Boss, he said that he originally had parents, brothers and sisters at home, but this time he smuggled his wife and two children from Luoxian. In other words, he now has a total of four people in the Far East."
. . .
Yang Ming asked a lot of questions there.
Of course, the current salary in the Far East Governor's Palace area is the highest in the surrounding areas, even comparable to Dongyang and South Korea.
In the past, many people from North Korea hoped to sneak to South Korea to develop, but now they hope to sneak to the Far East Governor's Palace instead.
Moreover, with the income here, he alone can support ten people. The most important thing is that prices here are not high and the salary is very good.
Now Park Antae is very satisfied with his life.
However, my parents and other brothers and sisters were not able to sneak here, and I don’t know if their family would be greatly affected by their escape.
After Yang Ming asked, he shook hands with the other person and said: "In the Far East, as long as you work hard, your efforts will not be unfairly treated, and your efforts will be rewarded."
Yang Ming shook hands with the other party, but the other party was still shocked.
He still didn't know who the young man in front of him was, but he felt that this young man was something special. Under such circumstances, he actually shook hands with him.
Yang Ming did not stay.
Turn around and leave.
Park Antae is still standing there.
When Yang Ming and others left, a man next to him looked at each other and said, "That was Mr. Yang just now."
