Riding in a Dodge truck, traveling at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour on a bumpy dirt road, modern people can hardly imagine the suffering endured.
Translated content:
At the unloading dock in Tianjin Port, Er Ye and Tan San Ye jumped out of the cabin. Even though they were sitting in a sealed cabin, both of them looked disheveled and had lost their gentlemanly demeanor. They looked like a pair of groundhogs. Please note that '@@' is not translated as it does not hold any meaning in the context.
The bodyguards and the driver in the rear compartment looked even more disheveled! Covered in dust from head to toe, they were unrecognizable except for their clean eyes.
Upon seeing this, Second Master knew it was a problem. So, he took out some silver and asked Xiao Dezhi to lead everyone to find a bathhouse for a good wash. Meanwhile, Second Master himself took advantage of the absence of people, locked the door to the car's cockpit, and swiftly entered the space. Using the purification function of the space platform, he quickly got rid of the dust.
然后又堂而皇之的下车，走向了港口货轮停靠的泊位。
“哦！我的上帝！亲爱的埃里克，你终于出现了！”
皮特看见大副领进仓的二爷激动的大叫起来。
“皮特！你怎么亲自来了？你现在可是新进的百万富翁！怎么能干手下要干的事？”
“埃里克，你不知道。你招募的那些人临上船前，有很多人都后悔了。我没办法了，才只好陪着他们来中国一趟。”
Second Lord Hehe chuckled: "
Pete, if you accompany them on a trip, will they be able to stay?"
“哈哈~~~埃里克你这就不懂美国人了！最起码我也是一个新进的百万富翁。所以，我的陪同是可以给他们信心的。”
"Alright! Pete, gather everyone up! I have something to say to them."
At this moment, Second Master has also thought it through. A forcibly obtained melon is not sweet. If they truly don't want to stay, then let them go back with Pete.
"Gentlemen! Hello, everyone! I believe you all know me, I am your employer Eric Zhang. I have heard that many people who signed employment agreements with me are now having second thoughts? Is that true?"
Looking at the dark mass, 268 technicians disembarked from various cargo ships and gathered on the dock.
Er Ye was somewhat regretful that these talents were not under his command.
"Mr. Eric! When you signed the agreement with me, you didn't mention that we would go to the poorest and most desolate region in Northwest China, did you?"
A tall, blond foreigner pushed past the crowd and walked to the front. As soon as Er Ye saw him, he had a feeling of understanding what was going on.
Originally, Er Ye selected these talents in the United States. They are all a group of people who were struggling in various industries, unable to make a living in American enterprises and factories. They are about to fall into poverty. Why would they still long for life in America?
Even if he is a patriot and does not want to work for other countries, the salary he receives from Second Master is twice as much as in the United States. Furthermore, with various subsidies for being far away from their homeland, the amount of money they actually receive is more than five times what they would earn in the United States. Moreover, if they stay in the country, they face the risk of unemployment and having no income at all.
当时签合约时，可是个个自愿、欢欣鼓舞的。怎么一上船就后悔了？这里面要是没有人挑唆带头，二爷打死也不信。只是不知道挑头的有几个？
“哦！这位先生，不知道你叫什么？”
二爷微笑着毫无威胁的和蔼的问道。
“你好！埃里克先生！我是纽约的莱利·约翰，我是一名大学的医学教授。”
他这样一说，二爷就想起来了，当时考虑为了在新疆建立新疆综合大学，确实招聘了一批大学教授或是助教。
“好吧！约翰教授！我想在签约前，你已经仔细的看过条约了吧！”
"Yes, Mr. Eric! But the treaty did not specify that we had to go to Northwest China!"
"Haha! But it also didn't say we couldn't go to the Northwest, did it? After all, it's all within the Chinese territory. I haven't violated the contract."
二爷心里一阵冷笑，他抄袭的可是后世最严丝合缝的聘用合同。就是在后世，任何乙方雇佣的精英律师都挑不出任何毛病的雇佣条款，在1914年就会被你一个不是法律专业的医学教授挑出漏洞来？你当人类一百年发展的经验都是是白给的？
“好吧！别的我也不说了。你只要告诉我此合约的最后两条条约就行了。”
“你这是不平等条约！”
约翰当然知道最后两条条约是什么！所以，有点恼羞成怒。二爷根本不管他的恼怒，这种当“洋大爷”当惯的种族白皮猪，留在中国就是个祸害。所以从他出头开始，二爷就已决定不用他了。
二爷没理约翰，直接拿出一份雇佣合约，大声对码头上老外们说：
“先生们！当时签合约的时候，我可是让诸位先生仔细阅读了三遍并再三确认诸位先生没有疑问后，才在各位自愿的前提下签署的条约，别忘当时可是有美国律师公证的。我想先生们对这一点没有任何异议吧？”
看见大部分老外都在点头，只有三个人只是看着约翰，并没有点头。二爷顿时松了口气，只有四个人，还好！
“好吧！有的先生看来很健忘！那我就挑一些重点条款给这些先生们提个醒。”
“本合约第五条，本合约自乙方签字后起，甲方付给乙方安家费5000美元，及预支三个月的基本工资1500美元。我想大家都领到这笔钱了吧？”
Seeing everyone nodding, Second Lord continued: "
Article 27 of this contract stipulates that after the signing of this contract, if either party breaches it, the penalty clauses specified in the contract shall be implemented. If Party A breaches the contract, Party A shall compensate Party B with one year's (i.e., 12 months) salary. If Party B breaches the contract, Party B shall compensate Party A with ten times the amount of money already paid by Party A."
The foreigners were buzzing with excitement. When signing the contract, they were only focused on finishing and getting paid. They didn't pay attention to the three smaller font punitive clauses intentionally set by Sir Er.
The foreigners took out their contracts and carefully examined the barely visible punitive clauses. Sir Er sneered to himself, thinking it was too late to notice now! They have already signed, so there's no way to backtrack. If they dare to cause trouble, Sir Er can make their lives miserable.
"I suppose gentlemen have all read clause 27. Allow me to do the math for everyone. As the party of the first part, I will pay each of you 6,500 hundred US dollars in cash. If you fail to fulfill this contract, you will owe me 65,000 US dollars. OK!"
"
“不！埃里克先生！你这是~~~”
“Shut up! Mr. John! I suppose you haven't seen the last clause, clause 29 in this contract, have you?”
“What? That's impossible? There are only 28 clauses in total, where did the 29th clause come from?” Reply: The translated content is: "
约翰急忙打开雇佣合约，在最后一页的右下角，一行小的不能再小的，不仔细看还以为是页码的英文字：第29条，本合约的一切解释权归甲方所有。
Hahaha, do you think Er Ye plagiarized? He doesn't need to know too much about the invisible dominance clause of future generations, okay!
John, this self-proclaimed and arrogant professor, is completely dumbfounded now! F*ck, when did employment contracts become so rigorous? Even the long-established empire of the Western Europe, the United Kingdom, may not have such flawless contracts, right!
这简直是赤裸裸的强权条款，约翰气的直哆嗦。
（此时，还没有霸王条款无效一说。）
"Alright gentlemen, I believe you understand now what awaits you when you return to the United States. It's unemployment, no income, and your wives and children going hungry! So now gentlemen, you can make your choice. Those who wish to stay, please stand on the right side, and those who want to go back, stand on the left."
一会功夫，左面就只剩下约翰他们四个人，二爷一看就笑了起来。
“好了先生们！大家已经做出了选择。我下面宣布一个好消息，站在右面的先生们，你们恐怕还不知道，条款里说的探亲补助是多少吧？
呵呵，本来是要干完两年的合约，有了探亲假，我才会宣布的。既然今天大家难得齐聚在一起，我就宣布了探亲补助吧：
Every engineer-level employee who is hired is entitled to an annual home visit allowance of $30,000, regardless of whether or not they actually visit home. This amount of money will be distributed to all of you every year.
All employed technicians are entitled to an annual family visit subsidy of $15,000, whether or not you actually go home to visit. This amount will be distributed to each of you every year.
“噢！我的上帝！埃里克先生万岁！”
右边选择留下的老外们，全部疯狂起来，礼帽乱扔的抬起了二爷，吓二爷赶紧喝止。
He really suffered a lot from this kind of embarrassment. In the past, every time he took over a hill or a trench, his comrades would excitedly throw him up in the air, and then disperse, allowing Second Master, the platoon leader, to fall freely and land with a big thump.
Second Lord has already developed a psychological shadow from this "tossing high" game due to being tricked by fellow soldiers in his past life!
At this moment, Peter also approached and subtly gave a thumbs up to Second Lord. Second Lord faced Peter and took out Peter's rebate payment check from his inner pocket, handing it to him, saying:
“皮特，太谢谢你了！剩下的设备订单还是需要你紧盯着点。”
Pete took the check and passionately kissed it.
"No problem, my dear Eric!"
"Then Pete, you start arranging people to unload the ship. The goods will be placed in the port warehouse for now, and someone will come to take them away later."
"No problem, I will notify the port to unload the cargo."
"Xiangzi! Why are there so many foreigners?"
I could tell it was Tan Sanye and his gang who had returned just by hearing the voice.
"Oh! Taozi is back? These are the technical staff I've hired."
"Ah! So many? Oh, Second Master! Give your brother a hint, what exactly are you up to?"
Tan San exclaimed, his eyes glimmering mischievously as he asked in a low voice. Second Master looked at his childhood friend's comical appearance and burst into laughter. He chuckled and replied: Translated:
“你小子，跟你说的话又忘了？”
"What saying?"
谭三爷一副莫名其妙的样子。
“信二爷！得永生！~~~”
“去你的，你又来？有点正行行不？”
"I plan to promote industrial development in Xinjiang. Will you participate?"
"Really? But I specialize in marine propulsion!"
"Isn't that just a steam turbine? Can't you use it for power generation instead of only on ships?"
Er Ye dismissed Tan San Ye's stubbornness with disdain.
"Taozi! Will you accompany me to Xinjiang for development? Yes or no? Speak frankly!"
Er Ye forced his childhood friend to state his position.
"I'll go! I have nothing to do in the capital anyway. But I must make it clear, I won't accept low wages!"
Hahaha! Don't worry! We're on the same team! Remember that~~~
"Got it! Got it! Trust your old man to live forever, alright? Now shut up!"
"Okay! You've even learned to butt in. Second Brother believes in you, keep working hard! Good luck!"
Er Ye made a fist and exerted force, which made Tan San Ye roll his eyes.
