Saint Jose's family was originally a herdsman grazing cattle in the Pampas, so let's call it the Cohen Brothers Trading Company.
This newly established company is the business distribution business of various factories under Saint Jose. Its future development will also be a larger-scale business, including various import and export trade, recruitment agencies, and international labor services, all of which will need Lucifer's help.
Lucifer was officially appointed as the general manager of Cohen Brothers by San Jose, responsible for recruiting more suitable talents and workers for the factories in Maria Town, especially the machinery industry here in Rosario, Maria Mold Factory , providing talent support for intervention in the military industry.
In the final analysis, Argentina is still short of talents and even more lacking of people. The domestic market is still a small one.
Now its factories are booming, taking over some markets, and their sales are pretty good. However, the problem of workers has begun to become more difficult.
Yes, we are about to fall into a labor shortage, especially if we want to expand clothing factories and open shoe factories. There are also machinery factories and beverage factories that are big employers of workers.
Therefore, Cohen Brothers still has an important task, which is to prepare to introduce international workers. Not only will the wages be cheaper, but they will also not have to pay the various domestic worker benefits proposed by the Bilong government. After all, they are "international friends".
In particular, the establishment of Thunder Mining will require a large number of workers to expand in the short term. If it subsequently enters Bolivia's coal mine production and iron ore mining and production, in addition to large-scale mining machinery and equipment, it will require a lot of miners, so it must be prepared for a rainy day.
Although it sounds a bit immoral, it is a pity that the Yankees treat Mexican workers now, and the Paide movement that emerged in South Korea in later generations is like this. In order to increase profits, speed up development, and seize development opportunities, Saint Jose can only wrong these people from other countries. .
It is worth mentioning that,
At this time, there were nearly 54 million people in Brazil, almost 6 million in Bolivia, 14 million in Peru, 10 million in Chile, 6 million in Cuba before the revolution, and just over 17 million in Argentina. With this population There is indeed not enough population in the country to develop industry, and there are frequent strikes. International labor is a very cost-effective option.
Argentina currently ranks 23rd in the world in terms of population, lower than India, the Union of Myanmar, Thailand, the Philippines, Egypt, Vietnam, Turkey, Poland, Mexico, Ethiopia, southern Korea, and Pakistan, which are just starting out. The major industrial countries are even more incomparable. .
There are still more than the current countries such as Persia, Romania, Yugoslavia, South Africa, Canada, and Australia.
The rapid population growth of Persia and Turkey played an important role in becoming the two most powerful industrial countries in the Middle East in later generations.
The small country of Japan has 83 million, the United States has 152 million, the Soviet Union has 179 million, France has 42 million, Italy has 47 million, the UK has 50 million, and the two Germanys combined have 68 million, of which West Germany has more than 40 million and Spain has 28 million. Ten thousand.
The traditional European powers are far more powerful than Argentina today. Argentina's population cannot support larger-scale industrial construction and markets. Now it needs to grab people and include the surrounding small countries in the construction and development of Saint Jose's factories. .
Saint Jose has already thought about it. If formal channels are not available, he will start from the border in the Potassium Triangle, start with Bolivian workers, and then take control of the newspaper office after arriving in Putrajaya, and use public opinion to bombard the labor policies of the Bilon government. These are just a few My initial thoughts are that Argentina is not too relaxed or too strict about international immigrants from Spanish-speaking areas.
Although Argentina introduced a large number of European immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries, such a small population was unable to support a larger industrialization system, population and market. In order to develop, this is also a choice that must be made in the future.
Developing industry is the top priority for a country's rise. The United States still blocks the import of industrial equipment from Argentina. It must first make more money before it can buy production lines from European countries.
Nowadays, the development of shoes and clothes is a last resort. There is also unfortunate news. Argentina’s foreign exchange reserves are almost exhausted due to the depreciation of the pound and some unscrupulous operations. The national treasury is almost empty. In two years, the Bilon government will prepare to negotiate with the United States. People negotiated to open the market, which was one of the reasons for his downfall.
The United States will fall into a protracted Cold War and a small hot war in Vietnam in a few years, changing from controlling to supporting the rise of Japan.
You must know that Japan is now a populous country in the world with a population of more than 80 million. With the support of the United States and through economic and political reforms, its rise has become unstoppable.
Today, San Jose is still in the stage of primitive accumulation.
It is a last resort to build several competitive companies to provide financial support for the future seizure of power. Industrialization requires abundant funds and a large number of talents who understand economic development. Now we can only start cultivating some by developing companies.
It has to be said that although Argentina has nationalized some companies related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as railway companies, it is still relatively weak in terms of competitiveness. Coupled with forced high welfare and corruption, it seriously lacks international competitiveness. Now it can only rely on exporting some simple and inferior industrial products and various products. You can earn foreign exchange by growing mutton and the like, but you won’t even be able to export food this year.
Saint Jose plans to break through the blockade and change the direction of international trade exports, which is also an urgent matter that must be done. The domestic market is too small.
And in the future, if you don’t have money, you won’t be able to buy production lines. Although most of the time, if you have money, others won’t sell them. Of course, in the next two years, Western Europe will recover and rise, and there will be candidates from five or six countries, not less than the United States, especially France. Ambition can be a good breakthrough, and West Germany, Spain, and Italy may be opportunities.
…
In the afternoon, Saint-Jesse officially announced the establishment of the Cohen Brothers Company, witnessed by several people from the business department.
Then there is the matter of registering a company and renting a larger office, which all require Lucifer to operate and are also a training of his abilities.
Establish an intermediary department, a sales department, a recruitment department, an international export department, a transportation department, and a warehousing department. These departments, and the most important financial department, are managed by Rosa expatriates from Maria Town for financial management, report production, etc. work.
"Miller, I leave the matter of registering the company to you. You have to expand the company rapidly in a short period of time. The first task is to send another 1,000 workers to Maria Town.
I will ask Guerrero from Thunder Mining to contact you. If there are any questions, I will contact you. You can contact Cross from Maria Town and Mayor Covo. They are all trustworthy people. "
"The most important thing is to recruit people. If we can recruit a few engineering personnel from the weapons factory, I will issue rewards. The recruitment process will be signed with the gunpowder factory. The gunpowder factory has military qualifications."
"Understood, boss."
"In addition to company development, we must also improve the company's appearance. The company decoration must look reliable so that we can find more employees and give people a strong feeling."
"For the time being, the department will recruit one by one according to what I wrote, and then just send me a fax report. Rosa will still be responsible for the financial and salary aspects for the time being."
"As for wages, materials, and money, don't worry about it. I will give you the greatest support. I am very confident in this aspect. You should also discuss it with other factory directors."
"No problem boss, I will definitely work hard on this."
Lucifer is very confident in doing things and has outstanding abilities. Among the several sales businesses that Cross recommended, he and Nick Jr. developed the best. They saved the fledgling cannery and took over the canned market. .
Lucifer was also a little surprised by the huge development plan of Saint Jose.
The two chatted for a whole afternoon, communicating and imparting a series of information on personnel arrangements, department formation, company development, talent recruitment techniques, talent recruitment, political and business relations, and international trade.
Lucifer was full of confidence and expectations for future development in Saint Hesse, who was a dabbler. Saint Hesse originally planned to look for the Guevara family, but failed to find it, so time was running out.
The development of the Cohen Brothers cannot bypass the Rosario City Hall and the influence of these government departments.
Especially the influence of several local family forces behind them. Will their development and growth cause dissatisfaction from others?
They all need to be dealt with one by one.
To Saint Hesse's surprise, this problem was solved in the simplest way.
The reason is that Lucifer actually has a huge advantage. His wife Bessie is from an old family in Rosario. Although it has been somewhat declining, it is still quite influential. This is just a small talk between the two. learned.
I don’t know how they met in the first place. A poor boy and the jewel in the eye of an established family. It’s up to Lucifer to get to know each other, and he can just be the behind-the-scenes worker.
It’s no wonder that Lucifer is able to develop smoothly in Rosario. In addition to his outstanding abilities, another reason is that he has found a good wife.
But yes, Lucifer does have a good face, just a little worse than himself, Saint Jose thought happily.
He took a serious look at Lucifer for the first time. He looked handsome, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He looked elegant. He was wearing a simple white shirt. He also had a good figure. His wheat-colored skin looked very healthy. He was listening carefully to Saint Jose. He imparted knowledge and took notes carefully with a notebook.
And judging from his attitude towards Bessie, whether he is doing housework or cooking and washing dishes, he enjoys it and is not fake.
And the happy look on his face when he was with Bessie, and he spread a lot of dog food to St. Jose,
The love between the two is so strong that it is said that it was love at first sight, which is amazing. They are both dedicated and handsome... If I were Bessie, I would definitely like this guy very much.
When we first met, he seemed relatively calm and reticent, but he was quite insightful. He was recommended by Cross, the then director of Prali factory, and became the first person he recognized. Although there were also Because Nick Jr. is his nephew, Lucifer has been doing very well and is now an important distribution director in several nearby provinces except Santa Fe Province.
The two talked and talked about Lucifer's life experience. Lucifer's father was a fisherman and made a living in Puerto Blanca, Buenos Aires, which is one of the largest seaports in Argentina.
Once when he was out fishing and encountered a tsunami, he died and disappeared. As a result, his mother remarried and did not take Lucifer with him to start a new family. The 7-year-old little Lucifer returned to his hometown of Olavalia and lived with his grandfather, but his grandfather fell ill again. died,
When I was 9 years old, my grandmother took me to Cordoba to continue school.
In addition, I had a poor academic foundation after traveling around many places when I was a child. I finished the fifth grade of middle school at the age of 19 without getting a diploma. I found jobs as a worker in a small workshop, a waiter in a restaurant, a dishwasher in the kitchen, and a porter at the dock. But he lost his job many times,
When I was 20 years old, my grandmother passed away, and she was kicked out by her family, so I made my way into society on my own. Finally, I came to work as a worker in a factory in St. Hesse. I was discovered by Cross and became a salesman, which is where I really found my footing.
After hearing Lucifer's narration, Saint Jose couldn't help but sigh that Lucifer really had a tragic life experience and was too bumpy. He must be a very strong person at heart, but also a gentle person at the same time.
The two opened their hearts completely, talked for a long time, and learned a lot about each other.
Lucifer is still a person who loves to learn, and his eloquence is indeed very good, but he is not willing to talk. He and Bessie studied together and spent difficult days. Bessie is a graduate of the University of La Plata and can follow the road. When Xifa, a poor boy, got married, the two of them really got married for love.
Lucifer also said that Bessie's family was originally very opposed to this marriage and did not agree with the union of the two. They set many barriers for Lucifer. They finally relented after he bought a house and a car.
Let my precious daughter marry Lucifer. Lucifer is also a man of ambition. He works very hard and is rewarded.
He also continued to study and take night college exams with Bessie's support. The two truly supported each other and their relationship became deeper.
Lucifer is very grateful to the boss Saint Jose. He is very generous with sales commissions for his business performance. Lucifer's business has always been ranked second in Prairie Factory. This is because the Little Knicks have Saint Jose in cloth. The support from the city is quite inspiring.
It was precisely because of Saint Jose's generosity that Lucifer was able to receive a super-high salary of 30,000 pesos per month, which also allowed him to save a down payment in a short period of time. Bessie also paid a lot in the process.
The two of them chatted from one o'clock in the afternoon until about five o'clock in the evening, and got off work early.
Lucifer and Saint Jose first went to the vegetable market and bought a bunch of fresh vegetables, meat, and some special condiments.
Saint Jose planned to show off his skills today and make some stir-fry dishes, so that the couple could see what it means to be a foodie nation.
Bessie and Lucifer also looked forward to it, waiting for the meal to start on the sofa.
St. Jesus used all his strength and spent more than an hour cooking braised pork ribs, chicken stewed with mushrooms, cola chicken wings, spicy and sour potato shreds, two butterflies of local vegetables, and a pot of carrot, potato, corn and pork ribs soup.
Coke was taken by St. Jose at Lucifer's house and is officially produced by the Prali Soda Factory. It is now a very popular soda among Argentines, second only to the most popular orange-flavored soda. It has contributed to St. Jose's made a huge profit.
The spicy and sour potato shreds use lemon juice and a kind of local green pepper. It has a slightly spicy taste, sour and spicy, and is very suitable for pregnant women.
"Boss, I didn't expect you could cook. It's really delicious. Just like my Lucifer, men who love cooking are very attractive. It's so delicious."
"Hey, Bessie, if you say that, your husband and I will feel sad." Lucifer made a rare joke.
"It's a joke. I learned this from an old man from New China. What he cooks is delicious. Miller, give Bessie a bowl of soup. Ladies, drink more of this soup to beautify your skin." Sheng He Sai boasted that it was just ordinary home-cooked soup.
"By the way, Miller, when Bessie is preparing for pregnancy, it's best not to eat too greasy food. She can eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement her vitamins."
"Boss, fruit is still a bit expensive now. There should be some cherries this year, but it will only be in November."
"That's true. There should be no drought next year. This is also the fault of the Bilon government. Of course, without his monopoly policy, there would be no development of canneries. Haha, I have to thank him." St. Jose bit A bite of Coke chicken wings, soft and juicy.
Saint Jose also lamented that it was a small miracle to be able to sell canned food in a country with a large fruit production.
In addition to the fact that the markets in various parts of Argentina are somewhat closed and the connections between various places are not deep,
Giving St. Hesse the opportunity is also related to Bilon lowering the purchase price of agricultural products, raising the market selling price, and earning profits for the treasury. Saint Hesse is poaching.
"Let's do this. I will give you another 1,000 pesos in fruit funds every month, specifically for Ms. Bessie."
"Thank you so much, boss."
"You are quite generous."
Lucifer also knew that this was Saint Jose's attempt to benefit him, so he accepted it after some refusal. As for 1,000 pesos a month, it was quite good to bring closer relations with his subordinates.
It is indeed not easy for Lucifer to support his wife and children. In addition to emotions, Saint Hesse only has money and benefits for his subordinates in these companies. This is the only thing he can do.
"Boss, Bessie and I discussed it last night.
I want you to be the godfather of my unborn child. I wonder if you are willing. "Lucifer held Bessie's hand and said seriously,
The world is too dangerous, and a child must have two fathers. This is what the Italians say. Godfather means that after the child reaches a certain age, the child's father will ask a local person with prestige and authority to act as the child's godfather.
Saint Jose is a non-religious at heart, but he has to pretend that he believes in heaven. This is also related to Argentina’s strong Spanish and Italian immigrant culture, which has a considerable influence.
"It's a great honor. Just let me know when the time comes. I'll give you my contact information when I get to Putrajaya."
"By the way, when is Bessie's estimated due date?" St. Jose took a sip of soda.
"About September, there are still about 5 months left." Bessie touched her belly and said happily.
"No problem, it's settled." September happens to be the winter vacation of the Argentinian university, and I will have time to return to Rosario.
The three of them chatted again until nine o'clock in the evening.
On the night of the third day, Saint Jesus was finally ready to leave. Before leaving, Saint Jesus once again told Lucifer that in addition to work, he should also take good care of Bessie and his own body, and looked forward to the next meeting.
The two hugged and said goodbye to Rosario, this beautiful city.
As the steam whistle sounded, the steam train slowly churned toward Buenos Aires, heading towards a bright future.
On April 9, 1951, MacArthur was dismissed from his post as Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations Forces by Truman, and the countdown to the end of the Goryeo War began.
