Franchise God Episode 1225
Chapter 284 Experiment for Capitalists (1)
Swimming Space has started one-on-one scouting of excellent researchers and staff at Naro Space Center.
Oddly enough, it was not a human being who came forward to negotiate, but the android Freedom.
“How much are you earning in salary now?”
Android Freedom was already a familiar concept to the staff at the Aerospace Research Institute.
But they never imagined that they would be facing each other at a job negotiation.
I was already confused about whether I should go to an engineering college or a civil engineering college.
“Oh, that’s… I’m getting paid 122.5 million won. Before tax.”
“I will preserve that salary.”
Swimming Space did not necessarily encourage job transfers by offering higher salaries.
And from the standpoint of excellent researchers, it would be a blessing if their current salaries were just matched.
“What’s the atmosphere like at the space center these days?”
“Everyone is worried because of the rumors going around. The political and business worlds are reaching out to Hanwooyeon’s assets. Now that the commercial space age has begun, they predict that the value of Hanwooyeon’s technologies will increase significantly in the future, and they are trying to get their hands on them here and there.”
The researcher stopped talking and became slightly indignant.
“If they’re going to stick a straw in it, they’re better off. There’s pressure every day to sell Hangwooyeon’s core assets to the private sector at a low price.”
“Is there any problem with the new contract?”
“Actually, that’s my biggest worry.
“The clause banning me from working in the same industry for two years after leaving the company is holding me back.”
“It’s better this way.”
“Huh? Is this okay?”
At first, it felt awkward to talk to Android Freedom, but as we talked, it felt like I was talking to a professional scout dressed as Iron Man.
“We need such toxic provisions and bad laws so that we can build up a solid case for ourselves.”
“but…….”
“If you sue our employees, it’s like suing our entire company. You know how fiercely our group protects its employees, right?”
“Of course. I’ve heard a lot about it. I was particularly impressed by the false accusation in the 112 report case.”
One Prime Company employee once reported a burglary to 112 because he thought his house had been robbed, but when he realized he had been mistaken, he called back and told the person not to come back.
But the police had already arrived at the house and were furious, saying that he had filed a false report.
The employee continued to explain that it was merely a misunderstanding and not an intentional false report, but the police eventually proceeded with the case for obstruction of official duties.
The case was ruled as not guilty, but the young elite police officer in his early 20s, who graduated from the police academy, even applied for financial assistance.
It was an action that clearly showed the intention to torment her to the end.
Then, the swimming group immediately moved the Park Ho-jin law firm to take all legal action on behalf of the employees.
With the company’s lawyers taking care of everything, the employee was able to get back to work normally without the extreme stress.
“No one would have imagined that they would move all the way to that expensive law firm for an ordinary factory worker. I was very impressed when I heard that story.”
“This is the extent of our group’s employee legal welfare. Are you worried about the employment ban clause? The bigger the dispute, the happier Park Ho-jin Law Firm becomes. Because we can prove our achievements to the chairman.”
The 20-something elite from the police academy eventually stopped all retaliatory measures when Park Ho-jin’s law firm stepped in.
But the swimming group didn’t stop there.
‘You harassed our employees first because you felt victimized by your empty promises, so we will harass you even more in return.’
‘A person with a broken character like you should be pulled down from the position of the people’s leader.’
Park Ho-jin’s law firm has thoroughly investigated the young elite police officer’s past, down to every single word he wrote on social media.
We filed every possible complaint, and constantly highlighted the fact that he had damaged the dignity of a police officer and harassed citizens out of personal malice.
Ultimately, the person involved was able to escape the retaliatory proceedings only after he quit the police force.
“So, don’t worry about legal issues at all. The group will handle all the litigation procedures. If you lose and are sentenced to prison, the chairman will serve the sentence instead.”
“Thank you for your kind words, but that’s impossible……”
“Please interpret this to mean that once someone is brought inside the fence, they will be protected to that extent.”
“All right.”
In fact, there was a protective clause in the employment contract.
‘If there is an attack (regardless of legal, physical, social, etc.) from a former workplace or the country due to a prohibition on employment clause or other laws, Suyeong Group will protect the workers to the end even if it means selling the entire company.’
Just looking at the clause that states unlimited liability, you can see how sincere Suyeong Space is.
“Do you know what the characteristics of a farmer are?”
The researcher was puzzled by the sudden question, but he couldn’t think of an appropriate answer.
“I don’t know. Well, patience and adaptability to nature, that’s all that comes to mind.”
“Farming is a process of creating something of your own by borrowing the power of nature without stealing from others. To those who don’t know, it may seem like pacifism.”
“That image is strong.”
“But if you look closely at the existence of farming, you will see that it is constantly fighting against external threats. It is a desperate fight against drought, floods, typhoons, cold, pests, numerous crop diseases, etc., in places that cannot be seen. That is farming.”
Researchers still have no idea what Android Freedom is trying to say.
“It means that farmers are the best and most aggressive fighters of all.”
“ah!”
“Chairman Ha Soo-young does not start a fight with others. However, a fight started by the other party can only end when Chairman Ha Soo-young wants to. Just think about what has happened to domestic telecommunications companies.”
“It was a legend. Who would have thought that such a huge telecommunications cartel would be destroyed in an instant?”
“So don’t worry and just sign.”
“All right.”
The researcher signed the employment contract without hesitation.
“I will report to work at the swimming space as soon as the center’s work is settled.”
“Okay. Now that you’ve signed your employment contract, I’ll briefly introduce the employee benefits you can enjoy from this moment on.”
“The official start date is still far away?”
“This is an employee welfare service that can be used from the current time, regardless of the start of work. First, you can enjoy the right to use the online swimming pool mall.”
“Online swimming pool?”
“This is an online mart that is only available to employees and cannot be accessed from the outside.”
You will be given 500,000 points every month to purchase groceries, but if you don’t use them within the month, they will disappear.
“It increases by 500,000 depending on the number of family members, up to a maximum of 2.5 million. You can receive all the groceries handled by Suyeong Mart, including rice, wheat, meat, fish, and eggs, delivered directly from the production site.”
The researcher’s eyes rolled back.
“Well, I have a wife and two children, so…….”
“You can purchase groceries worth 2 million won every month at Suyeong Mall.”
You can save 2 million won a month on food expenses.
It’s no different from the company giving out 24 million won in cash every year, tax-free.
“Suyeong Mall sells all kinds of products that are sold in large supermarkets and department stores, in addition to groceries. You can purchase them with employee discounts.”
Large corporations use welfare policies to provide their products at employee discounts.
If you look closely, it’s just a fancy way of presenting the idea of forcing products on employees.
But the swimming pool was completely different.
In addition to its own products, it also handles all items sold in general large marts, department stores, and online open markets.
“Can you still make a profit by selling it at such a cheap price?”
“Of course it’s a minus. We sell without adding even a single won of margin from the bulk purchase price. That’s why we don’t sell to outsiders.”
Selling at a loss is a lie from a merchant, but since Suyeong Mall does not do business with its employees, it really was selling at a loss.
The researcher realized.
‘Just from the benefits of this swimming pool, it’s like my annual salary has already been raised by tens of millions of won.’
On the same day, dozens of Naro Space Center researchers were receiving employment contracts with the same content.
The same thing happened again and again on another day, and another day after that.
***
The technicians possessed by Hangwooyeon were sold off to the private sector here and there, or corporations created by conglomerates came in with a straw.
The government appointed an accounting background as the new director, but strangely enough there was no major backlash.
The new director, who was expected to face great resistance because he was not from a scientific background, also took office with a shaky mood.
“No, it’s the new director’s inauguration ceremony, so why are there so many empty seats?”
More than 80 percent of the hundreds of chairs were empty, leaving the new director confused and angry.
‘I was wondering why they were so quiet, but now they’re rebelling like this?’
“Where did the vice president go? Tell him to come to my office right away!”
After finishing his inauguration speech, the new director came down and gave instructions with anger in his eyes.
But the answer I got back was amazing.
“The vice president position is currently vacant.”
“What? Vacant?”
“Yes. You submitted your resignation letter today.”
“You resigned?”
Only then did the new director come to his senses as if he had been doused with cold water.
“Then why were all those seats empty…?”
“The turnover rate has been quite high, and upon hearing that a new director was taking office, all of the remaining researchers submitted their resignations and are not coming to work.”
“What about the handover? What about the handover!”
“That’s not a legal obligation.”
“So you’re saying that there isn’t a single professional researcher at Hangwooyeon right now?”
“Yes. All space researchers and engineers have submitted their resignations. Those who remain now are in charge of general facility management, administration, and finance.”
All the space scientists, engineers, and technicians have resigned and left.
Isn’t this just like an empty can?
I tried to suck up the honey by sticking a straw into the beehive, but all the bees moved away.
“Surely not all of those researchers are unemployed and have all gone to the swimming space?”
“I’m not sure about that, but isn’t that probably possible?”
“profit……!”
This is a conspiracy of swimming space.
The new director was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and immediately called the chief of staff at the Blue House.
“Chief, this is a big problem.”
-What?
When I explained the local situation in detail, even the chief was embarrassed and couldn’t say anything.
-You took away over 700 researchers? Man, this is just too much.
“We need to take some special measures. As things stand now, it’s impossible to even grasp the current situation of Hangwooyeon.”
There are no bees in the hive, so there is no way to even consider honey or anything else.
You either need to catch the bees that left, or find new bees and bring them in.
-Okay. I’ll look into it. You should also try your best to understand the Hang Wooyeon situation.
“I will do my best.”
-Just doing your best won’t do. There are more than a few people who are currently expecting Hangwooyeon’s expansion project.
The new principal almost got cursed at.
What could I, an accounting graduate, know about aerospace? He was asking me to figure out the situation without a single researcher.
Feeling frustrated, he turned on the TV and was upset by the breaking news coming from the ‘TV Ulleung’ channel.
[Swimming Space, Moon Base Project with Capacity of Over 10,000 People, Full-Scale Construction Declared!]
[Jointly Promoting with NASA! What about the Aerospace Research Institute?]
[Suyeong Space CEO, “Hangwooyeon is already very complicated in terms of rights and interests as the political and business worlds are already involved. New wine should be put in new wineskins.”]
The new principal just threw the ashtray at the TV.
