Anderson is a very ordinary worker. The factory has been shut down more and more frequently recently, which makes everyone very upset.

From the one week shutdown every month last year to the one week shutdown now, a kind of panic is spreading in the hearts of every worker, especially... He heard that the factory seems to be about to fail.

It's not that the factory is losing money. In fact, the factory is not losing money, but the sales of its products are getting worse and worse. Many goods are piled up in the warehouse and slowly covered with dust.

If things cannot be sold, there will be no income. In addition, the input cost, warehouse management expenses, workers' wages and other losses have become the biggest headache for factory owners.

Although he always assured the workers that he would continue the life of the factory as much as possible, everyone had a feeling that the day of changing jobs was not far away.

Today is payday. Anderson cleaned himself up early in the morning and came to the factory. We talked about some ordinary contents in groups. Most of them were who suddenly made a fortune, or several factories around closed down.

Before, they didn't feel that life would be so difficult. Especially in previous years, the factory kept running from morning to night. After the work every day, the workers were too tired to lift their arms.

At that time, I was very tired, but I was also very full. As long as I worked, I would get rich returns. The factory owner even expanded the plant and added more jobs.

Everyone was chatting, recalling the past, or full of fear for the future. At this time, there was a sudden noise in the factory finance office.

The noise instantly hurt everyone's sensitive nerves. Most people immediately ended what they were doing and trotted towards the door of the financial office.

After Anderson got close, he found that several workers were arguing with the factory owner, that is, their boss. There were two reasons for the quarrel.

First, the factory will be completely shut down from next month. As for what to resume work, we should wait for notice.

This is tantamount to telling everyone that the factory is over. The so-called resumption of work may not exist at all. The federal salary adopts the working hour system. You can get as much money as you do.

This system has always been very reasonable, especially those hardworking workers. The more they pay, the more they get. Everyone has summoned up their strength to contribute to the factory.

Once the overall shutdown, it means that these workers will not have a penny of income next month!

The vast majority of ordinary federal families do not have the habit of actively saving. In addition, recently, the savings interest of the six major federal banks has been continuously reduced. There is little difference between putting money in the bank and holding it in hand.

This further reduces people's impulse to deposit money in the bank.

Money has a very special attribute. When you have money, you will have an inexplicable desire to consume. The more money, the stronger the desire to consume.

It may be to buy a rarely bought Haote Doug to satisfy your appetite, or it may be to buy a pack of good cigarettes you haven't bought before to enjoy the mellow smell of money burning.

Without savings, life depends entirely on salary. If there is no salary, many families will immediately fall into the terrible situation of terminating their operation!

What's more terrible is that the payment deadline of various installment products, including houses and cars, will become an overwhelming burden on people's life!

A few years ago, the whole world began to stabilize from the scuffle, and the Federation that had been drifting away from the war began to develop rapidly.

A large number of things are introduced, including consumption methods and concepts. Not only houses can be phased, cars can be phased, as long as there is a social security card and legal citizenship, even buying a TV can be phased.

Everyone is enjoying a huge dividend of the times. It seems that money is everywhere. As long as you bend down, you can pick up the money.

But now, these unpaid installments have become a noose around people's necks, which may be tightened anytime, anywhere and take people's lives!

Several workers are arguing with the boss about this matter. They ask the boss to start work next month and no less than ten days. This is their last insistence.

Work for one day and rest for two days. If this is not guaranteed, their life will become a problem.

Obviously, the boss always has a cold face and constantly shakes his head. He can't accept such a request.

Now business is not easy to do. The markets around Saibin city and even in the state have been saturated. It is difficult to sell commodities in bulk as before. The collection speed is slow, and the returned funds are basically consumed in storage fees and wages.

If he continues to work, he has no second way to go except bankruptcy. The only thing he can do now is to stop work completely, and then find a way out for his goods, or find problems and solve them before he can continue to work.

The workers are at a loss at this time. In fact, the factory owner is also at a loss. It is clearly a best-selling thing. Why can't it be sold in just a year or two!

You know, in the past, a large number of people drove trucks to rush loading outside the warehouse, but now, some people actually called him to ask if they could return the goods, even if only 30% of the money!

In addition to the problem of work stoppage, there is another problem, that is, the payment method of this salary.

"There is not much money in the factory's account, so I can't pay all of you, so I thought maybe we can pay you in another way..."

On the issue of shutdown, everyone has stopped arguing. The workers decided to let the trade union come forward. At this time, they looked at the factory owner coldly. There was no previous friendship. They not only had a wall, but also became enemies.

The factory owner's eyelids shook twice. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. His voice was dry, astringent and hoarse. "I don't know how to say..." he looked at the strange workers around him and sighed, "you already know the current situation of the factory, and I can't afford to pay..."

Without finishing his words, a group of workers nearest to him suddenly burst into an uproar. This uproar is rapidly spreading to all sides. The whole factory is making noise, so that the factory owner finally put away his unnecessary emotions and watched the workers quarrel and make trouble indifferently.

After another period of time, the noise could not be answered and the demands could not be solved. They quieted down.

At this time, the factory owner's face was a little more sarcastic. What he did to these workers was also to himself, but he soon took it back.

"I will give you the things we produce as salary based on the cost price."

"You can refuse to accept it, or even go to the trade union or the court to sue me. It's just that I can apply for bankruptcy protection. Let's finish it together!"

"If you are willing to accept it, go to the warehouse to get your 'salary'!" after that, he turned directly back to the finance office, followed by an accountant and several management levels.

Anderson was like a puppet standing in the crowd drifting with the tide. His mind was full of noisy voices and tinnitus. The only thing he thought about at this time was the collapse of the sky.

In fact, he doesn't have to worry at all, because he will adapt soon.

Some of the workers started to make trouble, while others silently went to get the inventory goods. At least these things are more or less a thing. As long as they are a thing, they have value. It's better than getting nothing, isn't it?

Outside the warehouse, he numbly took out a pen and signed his name on the payroll account book. Then he looked at the household appliances with three large boxes on one side, his mind buzzing.

What should I do in the future?

Anderson, carrying three boxes, had just walked out of the factory gate when a strong wind blew. Suddenly something floated with the wind and covered his face.

He tore it off and opened it, but it was a common poster all over the street. A man with extraordinary appearance showed eight teeth and held a glittering advertising word - "Ai ruidai, a trace of an ox Dai"
