Chapter 165 Contract
Yes, all three of them are here, and it was worth their hard work yesterday.
"Come and sit down first. I'll pack my things and it will be ready soon."
While Qian Lai was talking, his hands were not idle. He put two freshly-made contracts under the account book, and took out four pre-prepared contracts from the lower left corner of the table.
He handed three of the contracts to the three people who came over, and placed the remaining contract on the table in front of him. He sat upright, ready to start a new round of negotiations.
Among the three people headed by Huang Qiushi, only Huang Qiushi could read and write. Although he only went to school for two years, he had no problem with basic literacy and recognition of words.
When Huang Qiushi received the booklet that Qian Laiye handed to him, he was a little confused. He didn't know what Qian Laiye meant. But after he saw clearly what was written on it, he instantly lost his composure.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the contracts obtained by the other two people, and soon discovered that the contents of everyone's contracts were the same.
"If Master Huang can read, then this matter will be easier to handle, and you don't have to worry about me cheating you. Sit down first, and let's talk slowly."
Qian Lai also spoke with a smile, his tone gentle and without any aggression.
Gao Zhu and Zhang Fadada are illiterate, and they feel a headache when they see the densely packed text on the contract. Now they can only pin their hopes on Huang Qiushi, who can read, and they all look at him eagerly.
Huang Qiushi suddenly felt a huge amount of pressure. He gave a bitter smile in his heart and after some hesitation, he was the first to sit down. The other two followed suit.
Qian Lai saw that the three people were already seated, so he didn't continue with the polite greetings or waste time. He went straight to the point and began to explain the contents of the contract in detail.
The contents of the contract had already been optimized and adjusted when discussing with Liu Chongyang and others just now. In addition, after a round of negotiations, Qian Lai also had a more accurate grasp of the inner thoughts of these applicants.
So much so that when facing Huang Qiushi and the other two, Qian Lai became much more calm.
Qian Laiye's calmness and composure put a lot of pressure on Huang Qiushi and the other two. At the beginning, Huang Qiushi could still keep up with Qian Laiye's pace and raise some questions, but it became more and more difficult as time went on.
By the second half, he had been completely led by Qian Laiye, and was so overwhelmed by wave after wave of benefits that he was dazzled and completely unable to think effectively.
An hour later, the three of them left the restaurant lobby in a daze, holding the contract that had just been fingerprinted. They were still in a daze until they walked out of the back door of the lobby.
Not only did all three of them stay and become carpenters at the furniture store Craftsmanship Workshop that Manager Qian was about to open, they would be able to officially start work tomorrow, and each of them would receive a fixed monthly salary of two taels of silver.
The contract was signed for a total of five years. Although the contract required each of them to train at least five apprentices during the contract period, if the apprentices successfully passed the tests set by Manager Qian and successfully graduated, they, as masters, would receive an additional bonus when they received their monthly salary.
One reward is five taels of silver. If I can teach a few more apprentices, do I still need to worry about the family expenses?
If they work harder in the next few years, the money they get when the contract expires might allow them to buy a house in the city, find a wife for their grandson, or help their mother recover from her illness.
In addition to the temptation of money, the most attractive thing about the contract is that after the contract is signed, there will be experts to guide them and help them further improve their professional skills.
When they heard Qian Laiye mention this, a guess involuntarily emerged in the minds of the three of them.
Huang Qiushi, the "spokesperson", also specifically asked Qian Laiye who the "expert" in the contract referred to. The result was the same as what the three of them expected. It was Master Kobayashi who led them in in the morning and set tests for them.
This news made the three of them very excited. The last time they learned carpentry skills was when they were apprentices, which was many years ago.
They were sent by their family to learn the craft from a carpenter. In the first few years, they did odd jobs for the master. Later, they learned some basic work.
The level of their masters themselves is average and there is not much they can teach. In addition, everyone's ability to understand is different, so what they learn is also limited.
Many of the things they know are figured out by themselves after they become apprentices, based on the foundation they laid previously, but the degree of self-improvement is limited, otherwise they would not be in this state where they still have to worry about their livelihood.
They have witnessed Master Kobayashi's professional level and are convinced by her wood carving skills. Being personally taught by a woodworking master of this level for a month will definitely be of great help in improving their own skills.
They had never dared to imagine such a good thing before, and never expected that such a good thing would happen to them.
As for whether they would feel embarrassed to be an apprentice to a child who is not even older than their own son, this matter is not even within their consideration.
They knew it clearly in their minds that the man's wood carving skills had reached such a high level at such a young age. If she really wanted to accept a disciple, she only needed to show her skills in front of others and then spread the word, and many people would come with gifts to become her disciples.
However, under the arrangement of Manager Qian, they got the opportunity to be taught by Master Kobayashi. Under such circumstances, they were too happy to bother about these trivial things.
Besides, once you have learned the techniques, they will be your own. When the contract expires in the future, it will be beneficial for you to choose to renew the contract with Manager Qian or leave and work on your own.
In addition to listing various benefits, the contract also contains many restrictions on these employees, but most of them are used to regulate personal behavior. As long as they behave themselves and don't cause trouble, they will basically not trigger the above penalty regulations.
In addition to the rules, the contract also specifies the regulations that the employer Qian Guanshi should abide by, such as taking holidays on time in accordance with the law, providing gifts on specific holidays, etc. These are all benefits given to them.
Things written in black and white in the contract are legally binding. If the employer fails to fulfill the terms in the contract, they can go to the government to file a complaint. In other words, these benefits are set in stone.
It's not that they are narrow-minded. It's the first time they have seen a contract that has so many restrictions on employers, is so friendly to employees, and has such detailed content.
When the three of them came back to their senses from their dazed state, Gao Zhu looked at Huang Qiushi and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Huang, can you help me take another look? Is there any rule here that we don't understand?"
