From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 151 Atlas Mining is urgently recruiting skilled workers

Randall was a little confused. He didn't expect Amber to be so open about taking away the base of operations.

He immediately opened a private chat channel and continued to ask:

"My boss, are you sure you want to take this thing away?"

"Of course, Timler Mining Company doesn't want it anymore, right? I'll help them recycle it, which is also a waste utilization~"

Amber answered as a matter of course.

"No, aren't you afraid that this mining company will come to you?"

Randall knew that Amber always took advantage of others, but he never thought that this guy was so bold.

"If they come to you, then come to you~"

Amber was not panicked at all, and didn't think this was a serious problem at all.

"If they really come to me, I will have to take care of the commission they collect for this operation, the transportation and storage fees for the base of operations, and the resettlement fees for more than 100 miners."

"Great. Amber, I find that working with you can really learn a lot."

"Very good, as long as you gain something~"

While chatting privately with Randall, Amber also parked the fanatic on the platform where the assault boat was located, and then floated into the base of operations wearing a heavy hydraulic anti-gravity suit that could support extravehicular activities.

After floating along the passage for a while, he opened the hatch of the control room and got in.

"Boss!"

Inside the control room, the Marines stopped their work when they saw him.

"It's okay, you continue, the sooner you finish, the sooner we can pack up~"

Amber waved her hand, and then floated all the way to the miners who gathered together and faced the unknown fate with horror.

"Hey, don't be afraid! We are not bad people!"

When he spoke, the miners gathered and looked at their familiar companions, their eyes revealing the same message.

Damn, I fell into a den of thieves again.

Faced with such a reaction, Amber was also a little embarrassed, so he continued to add:

"We are not pirates, nor are we hired by your company, we are just a civilian merchant ship that happened to pass by."

Following his words, the miners slowly quieted down.

"I also saw the information sent by your company more than ten days ago, requesting to deal with pirates, but it seems that no one has responded. I just happened to pass by today and just helped to eliminate the pirates."

Listening to Amber's words, a slightly braver miner raised his hand.

"You say."

"Sir, I want to know how you plan to deal with this base and us?"

"Thank you for your question. You all need to be as brave as this friend, so that we can continue to communicate."

Amber clapped her hands and continued:

"Ahem, because your company does not seem to plan to recycle this base of operations. In line with the principle of not wasting, I plan to take this base and related equipment away directly."

The crowd was in turmoil again. The miners did not expect Amber to be so straightforward.

However, Amber did not care about their reactions, but continued to talk to herself.

"As for you, there are two choices."

Amber raised a finger.

"First, I will send you to a nearby planet or airport. Anyway, you should all have chips implanted by Timler Company in your body. As long as you reach an area with network, they should send someone to pick you up, and you can continue to work for your company~"

This choice did not seem to be attractive. The miners present were quiet, waiting for Amber to say the second choice.

Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Amber raised the second finger.

"Second, come to work for my mining company."

As soon as this was said, many miners showed an expression of "as expected."

In their opinion, the mysterious man who had just rescued them seemed to be no different from the people of Timler Mining Company.

But Amber's next words made these miners begin to doubt whether they had heard something wrong.

"If you join our company. I will first remove the chips in your body, and I will not implant any chips, because our company's employees are free people, not slaves.

After that, I will sign a three-year asteroid operation contract with the employees who join the company. After signing, they will work honestly on the asteroid for three years.

After the three-year period expires, I will settle your labor costs in one lump sum and terminate the contract.

You can take this money and be free to go anywhere you want.

Of course, if anyone wants to renew the contract at that time, I will also welcome it very much."

After saying this long paragraph, Amber stopped, stood in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back, waiting for their reaction.

The miners below were all dumbfounded.

They worked for Timler Mining Company to pay off their debts.

Although most people's debts are also closely related to this company, because they borrowed various types of student loans and home loans from the Timler family's companies for various reasons. As a result, the amount they need to repay has become a terrible number under the calculation of the formula that they can't understand at all. In this case, the "kind" Timler family allowed them to repay their debts through labor in their mining companies. But now, the man who rescued them from the pirates actually said that he would pay them wages? For a while, these miners began to whisper to each other.

Before making a decision, they subconsciously sought other people's opinions, but only to better convince themselves.

After a while, another hand was raised among the miners.

It was the miner who had asked the question bravely just now.

"Sir, we want to know if working in your mining company means going to any special dangerous environment?"

"No, it's just normal asteroid mining operations."

"Then may I ask why you paid us wages and promised to give us freedom in three years?"

"I pay money to buy your time, skills and labor, isn't this a very normal behavior?"

Amber's answer made the miner speechless for a moment.

This answer was so normal, but to him and other miners, it sounded like a bubble of illusion.

"Oh, I forgot to say it just now"

Amber seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke.

And many miners also showed an expression of 'waiting for me here'.

But after they heard what Amber said, their mouths opened wider than before.

"The asteroid operators under our company implement the 'four shifts and two shifts' work system.

The working hours are eight hours a day and no more than 40 hours a week. In a high-risk mining environment, the working hours will be further shortened.

According to the shift schedule, there will be a 'relaxation and release of energy' activity every quarter, and the corresponding mobile entertainment center will be arranged to come to the mining area at that time."

Amber talked about some basic benefits of miners in one breath, and more than 100 miners were forced to be silent in the entire control room.

Although he has always been determined to be a big capitalist, he knows that blindly squeezing his employees will only result in lower and lower work efficiency.

Compared to the profits from mining asteroids and mineral exchanges.

The cost of these miners' wages and welfare benefits is simply a drop in the bucket.

And now the reaction of the crowd is also within his expectations.

After all, there are not many companies in the world that do personnel.

Amber looked at the time and it was time to wrap up.

He looked up at the crowd again, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Do you have any questions?"
