The Rise Of Space Technology

Chapter 348 The Hard Winter

In the land of China, the whole country celebrates and welcomes the Chinese New Year.

However, on the other side of the earth, people are suffering through this extremely long winter.

Thomas was an automotive engineer who at first was simply laid off to stay at home with the advent of flying machines, but then lost his job as the auto industry was devastated. For unemployment, people here have never had to worry about anything in the past.

First of all, there is a complete union organization and laws here. The company cannot fire any employee for no reason. Even if they are fired, they can get a large amount of compensation and also receive a lot of unemployment benefits.

The amount of this unemployment benefit isn't even much less than what you'd get for a month of hard work.

Therefore, Deguo people have never been afraid of being unemployed.

The country's industry is developed, and it is basically industrial, machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, machine tool manufacturing, etc., with developed industry, strong scientific and technological strength, and the economy is the mainstay of Europe.

But who knew that the wave of unemployment came so fast, under the devastating blow of the automobile industry, firstly, tens of millions of people related to the automobile industry were unemployed, and then with the decline and malaise of other industries, the number of unemployed increased more and more. By now more than half of the people are unemployed.

The consequences of mass unemployment are extremely serious.

Unemployment benefits are gone, and everyone can't receive unemployment benefits at all, because the government doesn't have the money to give everyone such a waste of money.

Prices also began to soar. For things related to life, such as bread, natural gas, vegetables, meat, etc., the rising prices made the bad situation worse.

The unacceptable thing is that this year's winter seems to be extremely cold and long. Every day is as long as a century. Living like a year is the current situation.

Like countless unemployed people, Thomas walks numbly on the street, holding a sign in his hand that says I need a job. I am a qualified automotive engineer and I know English, French and German.

People are protesting and marching with dissatisfaction. They have been repeating this kind of life for a long time, for a long time, and they have to walk on the streets every day. This seems to have become a part of daily life.

People's dissatisfaction is constantly spreading. From the initial calm waiting, to now, people's emotions are getting more and more excited. Some people have shouted the slogans of World War II, threatening to let the world remember them again.

However, their appeals did not yield any results, and the government side was already having a headache, because they couldn't come up with any solution now.

“The brewery is hiring porters, and the brewery is hiring porters.”

The long procession continued to advance. At this time, someone from a brewery shouted with a sign for recruiting workers. It attracted countless people's ideas at once, and it was filled with people in a blink of an eye. Thomas was no exception, and he rushed over to line up in a hurry.

At this time, he can't take care of that much anymore. It doesn't matter if it's a brewery or a cleaner or a repairman, as long as he can find a job, he needs a job because it's almost impossible to open the pot at home. .

"Every industry is not good, why is the brewery becoming more and more popular? This business seems to pay a lot more dividends than before. Last time, it was also a brewery recruiting workers, or was it a newly built brewery?

Someone lined up and asked curiously.

Now all businesses here are in recession, everything is closing down, and unemployment is on the rise, but the business of this brewery is getting better and better, and breweries are constantly adding new ones one after another, and they are also constantly recruiting workers.

"I have a friend who works in a brewery, and I heard that their performance is very good now, mainly because our country's beer quality is world-renowned and has a tolerant quality guarantee, so Orientals generally hate drinking our beer, so A great deal goes to the East.'

"Think about the East, a big country with a population of 1.4 billion. In the past, they were given income, but their spending power has not been fully released."

"Now, their total economic output is already the first in the world, and they also account for half of the world's total. The per capita has also rushed into the top ten in the world, and their spending power is extremely terrifying."

"Just the amount of beer you drink every day is an astronomical figure, and now that there are aircraft, it is very convenient to communicate with each other. There are many aircrafts coming to the winery to transport wine every day, and no amount of beer is enough to sell.

"That's why their brewery business is so hot, brewery after brewery."

Someone also said quickly.

"That's it~"

"I will say why the brewery can continue to open now, it is because the Orientals love to drink our beer.

"If it wasn't for them, how could we be out of a job?" "We shouldn't sell them beer, so that they can't drink our quality beer, we should let them drink their own rubbish beer."

Someone said angrily.

"Even if we don't sell them beer, there will be people who sell beer to them. We brew, at least we can solve some of the jobs and let a lot of people get jobs."

"Yeah~ Although they were given, what can we do? All we can do is to find a job to support our family. My family can't afford a big meal at Christmas."

"Don't mention it, even the natural gas has been cut off in my house. It's really too cold this winter."

"Yeah, it's too cold, too cold! I've never felt so cold in winter." "The weather forecast said that the temperature this year is actually higher than in previous years, but it just feels cold. "That's because there is no heating in the house, so it is generally cold.

Tojani quietly listened to the discussions of the people around him. Everyone was suffering in the cold winter just like himself.

Looking ahead, the brewery’s recruitment is going smoothly. One by one, they got the contracts and went back happily. Although it seems that everyone’s salary is not high, it is only 2000 euros. This kind of income was in the past. They don't even look at them, only those immigrants from Eastern Europe and the Middle East go to do such low-wage jobs.

But now, to be able to get a job, this has to thank God.

"It's full, it's full! You don't have to line up, you don't have to line up!

While Thomas was waiting anxiously, the people from the brewery said something that made the people behind him desperate, and they were full of people.

"Sir, sir, I have a certificate as a winemaker, can you consider/consider me?"

'Certificate of winemaker?'

"No, no, we already have a lot of brewers in our factory. "Sir, I can speak many languages, can I help you sell beer?"

"Do you speak Chinese? What we need most now is someone who speaks Chinese.

"Uh, no."

"It's useless if you don't.

"Alright, alright, let's all go.

The people in the brewery left, leaving everyone to continue to suffer. Many people chased after and kept promoting themselves, but it was all useless. The brewery that was already full of people did not need so many employees.

At night, Tojani dragged his tired body back to his home, and when he got home, his wife stopped complaining.

"The price of food has gone up again, and now our family can only eat mashed potatoes and corn mush.

"Mario wants to buy a new pair of sneakers and wants to go to a football game."

"Jenny wants to eat fried chicken and hamburgers, but there is no money at home. If we can't find a job, we won't be able to afford food for the next month, and the price of potatoes and cornmeal has gone up. few."

Thomas silently ate mashed potatoes and corn mash, quietly listening to his wife's nagging here. She wasn't like this before, but since both husband and wife lost their jobs and the money in the family became less and less, she stopped being nagging and she was saving.

"I'll get a job and everything will be fine.

After a long time, Tojani also spoke slowly.

"I doubt you, you've always been so good.

"I heard that the East side needs a lot of engineers now, and some people go to work in the aircraft manufacturing factory on the East side. Otherwise, you should also try it out and see if you can also go to work on the East side?"

The wife smiled and said.

"But in that case, wouldn't our family be separated?"

Hearing this, Thomas said quickly.

"There is no way, there is no way to separate it, and besides, the aircraft is so developed now, if we have money, we can buy an aircraft ourselves, and this kind of communication is also very convenient.

"I heard that they have a large number of aircraft manufacturing plants and need a lot of excellent engineers. If you go now, you may be able to find a good job. It is said that the income is also very considerable.

The wife smiled and said.

"Well, I'll take a look later. In fact, I don't want to work for the Orientals. If it weren't for their aircraft, our country would not be what it is now."

Thomas thought about it and said.

"Yes, it has a lot to do with them, but we also have a big problem. Why did they come up with this aircraft first, and why didn't we master the relevant technology?"

"I think maybe we should make some changes. Many people are reluctant to do some hard work, dirty work, hard work, and it is difficult to accept everything now."

"What we can do now is to find a way to survive, how is the work, work there, it doesn't matter if you are tired or not."

"Perhaps you are right!"
