今年这个3月份,谢成松的心情比往年同期好。
在深圳开制衣厂多年的他,这3年来每年春节后都要亲自带队到湖北省潜江市扎营招工,在给每个工人预付几千到上万元的工资后,招工仍然很难。
而今年节后,在使出一个新招数后,谢成松在潜江本地开办的东灏制衣公司迄今已招到2000多名工人。
"我们给每个工作满5年的车间主任、班组长赠送一套在潜江城区的100平方米的商品房,不仅留住生产骨干,还通过他们帮忙到乡下去招更多的工人来。"谢成松得意地说。
不过,谢成松在深圳的一些同行今年也有新招——给车间班组长每人发5万-10万元,让他们在节前拿这笔钱深入到潜江乡下的民工家中去拜年,送礼送钱,或直接预付订金,争取民工节后回厂上班,而不是被别的厂挖走。
"到处在招工挖人,现在在潜江乡下,18-20岁的民工基本上很难找了。"在武汉开餐饮店的钟云(化名)说,不少厂家只能瞄上那些还在读书的15-18岁的农村中学生,提前给学生父母交一大笔定金或预付一年工资,一年后孩子如果考不上大学,就马上去工厂上班。
作为国内裁缝工人主要来源地的湖北省潜江市,是开始于2005年的"民工荒"连年升级的缩影。各地企业到潜江农村家庭预订工人的订金行情,已从3年前的每人1.2万元涨至今年的1.5万元。拼抢之下,连离潜江不远的省会武汉,也开始发生缺工潮。
"今年武汉的缺工人数为6万人。"武汉市劳动市场主任、高级职业指导师李永洪说,"民工荒"有从东南沿海向中部蔓延的趋势。
这也引发了学界关于中国农村剩余劳动力存量是否已临近枯竭的争论。
一个缝纫工订金1万
武汉汉正街服装业发达,集聚了数千家服装企业。在这里,以往18-25岁的女工最受青睐。这样的女性民工在街上越来越少,原因是这个年龄段的女孩上学读书的增多。
于是,从2006年开始,汉正街一些服装业主开始到邻近的潜江等地农村寻找年轻劳力。起初是不断抬高起薪,后来开始给一些家庭的父母交纳定金。
"一般是找那些16岁-18岁,学习成绩不好,家长感到升学希望不大的孩子,做做工作,也就出来了。"钟云告诉记者,光自己老家所在的村就有几户这样的孩子。
只要愿意出来打工,厂家就先交订金,最低5000元,算是预付1年的工资,也有多的是1万元。干上1-2年后,变成熟练工,月薪能涨到2.2-2.4万元。
这一般是中小制衣企业的做法,而沿海的大型企业,则往往选择对接当地的"阳光工程"。这是潜江市政府为本地农民工兴办的免费裁缝技术培训服务。各地来招工大厂家,可以给这些民工集体提前预付1年的工资。
参与当地政府创建"潜江裁缝"品牌工作的潜江市财政局的张亚平介绍说,潜江预付定金有5000元、8000元、10000元三个等级。从大年初三开始,深圳、福州、上海等地就有大批服装厂商安排人在潜江各个乡镇招工,开始几天还不用给订金。到了初五初六,如果人还没有招满,订金就非给不可了。"这个钱是给孩子父母的,以后会按合同扣除。"
干满5年送一套房
企业交纳订金后,潜江政府专门安排有120多辆汽车接送这些出门打工的裁缝。"有时一整车人都是得到订金的。"
作为中国著名的"缝纫之乡"的潜江,目前约有10万工人在外地从事制衣业。
随着沿海民工荒的加剧,潜江缝纫工平均保底工资的行情年年上涨。普通工2006年时一般为1.2万元,2007年时为1.5万元。而今年则涨到1.8万元。
东莞雅顺制衣公司2007年在潜江招得350名员工,一次就预付了600多万元工资。"凡是录用人员,去的路费我们全包。"公司的招工负责人严圣平说。
不少制衣厂家还采取给佣金的办法,班组长或车间主任每招到一个缝纫工,厂里给奖励600元。除了赏钱,还有赏官的。招来民工多的,可以升为主管甚至中层经理,带来人少的,也可以按人数晋升。
潜江市外办的杜顺武告诉记者,连新加坡、日本也对潜江的缝纫工感兴趣,但开价太低,月薪6万日元,只相当于4000元人民币,所以基本没有人去。"好的熟练工,现在在潜江月薪就接近4000块了。"
武汉的缺工潮
尽管开价越来越高,但今年节后招人仍然困难。和谢成松一样在深圳以及潜江都开有制衣工厂伊帆公司的陈琴,节后在潜江只招到200多个员工,"感到压力很大"。
"今年节后全国各地来潜江招工的有300多家。"潜江市阳光工程办公室主任聂杨梅介绍说,那些已经出去打工的熟练工春节回来过年,节一过完,厂里第一时间派车来把他们全部接回去,"否则来晚一步,马上就有别人挖走了"。
随着沿海缺工抢工的加剧,中部的民工大省湖北,省会武汉也发生了用工紧张。
据李永洪介绍,武汉在2005年春节后缺工人数不过1万来人,但是时过3年,今年武汉缺工人数达到6万人,其中加工制造业缺口3万人。
"武汉近几年由于世界500强企业和国内企业投资增长,用工需求不断上升。"李永洪说,武汉的富康汽车今年新用工需求就有1万人,"全市所有技校开足马力,才把这个缺口补上"。
李永洪认为,原本是劳务人数大省的湖北,服务于武汉的工人在减少。据悉,两年前武汉的外地打工人数在110万人,目前只有80万人,近几年来武汉的外地劳动力人数减少了30多万,未来几年农民工会进一步缺乏。
武汉缺工,有劳工继续向沿海外流的因素,毕竟,目前武汉的最低工资是每月580元,比起上海、深圳近900元的最低工资还有很大距离。据国家统计局湖北调查总队监测,2007年到省外务工总人数比上年增加17.9万人,增长3.72%。
省内中小城市和农村产业发展的分流是另一个因素。聂杨梅介绍说,从2005年开始,潜江建立2个服装工业园,吸纳了3万多缝纫工在当地就业。
由于招工难等各种原因,汉正街近几年已有2000多家小制衣企业出局,有的倒闭,有的转到汉川等地,主要依靠农闲的农民维持劳动力供应。
"人库"在枯竭?
国家劳动部门一直认为,目前中国劳动力仍非常充裕。劳动和社会保障部负责人2006年9月曾公布数据说,全国农村现有劳动力4.97亿,除去已经转移就业的2亿多人,以及农村需要务农的1.8亿,尚有1亿左右的剩余劳动力。尤其是中西部省份的广大农村,仍有着庞大的产业工人后备军,这是持续支撑国际制造业向中国转移和中国制造业竞争力的资源基础。
而如今,缺工的呼声也开始在中西部响起。
老家湖北仙桃的钟云不久前从宁波返回武汉创业,在洪山区开一家300平方米的餐饮店,从2月份节后开始招工,迄今仍无着落。由于缺工,现在餐饮店每天的营业额只达到原计划的1/3。
好不容易托人到甘肃找到两个18岁的男孩,他开出管吃管住和800元的月薪,对方起初答应,但临起身又说不来了,原因是当地修路开出了每天50元的薪酬。
"武汉招工难,想不到到西部招人也不容易。"钟云喟叹,能上班的人倒是很多的,但问题在于你是否请得起。
比如40岁以上的员工,开价都在月薪2000元左右。一般行业是请不起的。25-40岁的员工多数在沿海打工,也很难在武汉请到。只有18-25岁这个年龄段的,起薪可以低一些,但也很难招到。
"一方面现在农村读书免学杂费,16-20岁这个年龄段的,不管男孩女孩,父母都让他们读书,在学时间延长了。"钟云说。
聂杨梅也认同这一点。潜江政府给每个参加缝纫技术培训的农民工全部买单,1个月补贴150元,2个月培训补贴300元,3个月补贴500元。但尽管如此,16-20岁的年轻人来参加培训的还是越来越少,"感觉比过去少了20%左右,独生子女多,愿意读大学的人在增加。"
即使培训出来的,也不一定出去打工,潜江本地的服装工业园用工需求很大,过去外出打工回乡创业的人也越来越多。"潜江本市的剩余劳动力在减少,过去培训了5万裁缝,目前是周边的一些农民工吸引了过来。"张亚平说。
而从全国来看,农村到底还有多少剩余劳动力,也是学界近年争议的问题。
据国家统计局公布的普查公报数字,2006年我国农村劳动力(16-60岁)总人数是5.31亿人,其中外出打工人数1.31亿人,在农村从业人数有4.78亿人。而这4.78亿人约有一半以上是40岁以上的,因此转移出来的难度加大。
比如以劳动力市场最为青睐的16-20岁年龄段人数看,2006年时约有6940多万人,外出打工的有2100万,高中在校生有2522万,高中招生840万,高中毕业生789万,除去上述人数,还有约1000万人。但是2006年中等职业教育招生有800万,大学招生有566万,尽管这部分人有少数是16岁以下及20岁以上的,但仍然说明:在农村没有读书,没有外出打工的16-20岁年龄段的人,是少之又少。
这个说法得到中国社会科学院人口所所长蔡昉的支持。他的研究显示,除非将40岁的农村剩余劳动力开发出来,否则农村已经基本没有可转移的剩余劳动力。
李永洪也把思考点指向劳动力的年龄结构,"严格来讲,武汉其实并不缺工,主要是各种限制条件多。比如酒店业限定招年轻员工,因此缺工更加严重"。
李永洪通过计算发现,如果招工的年龄放宽1岁,武汉新增加的员工可以达到6万个。这是目前武汉缺工人数的1倍

3月25日 希臘其實乏善可陳.雖然有歷史籍載的文明,但經過羅馬和奧斯曼土耳其的几百年征服,畱下來的古迹,根本就是一點碎石瓦片,如果和埃及,義大利相比,希臘會真是差差差.
人民,如我接觸到的出租車司机,從酒店到attic廣場,最多7歐元,晚上打車,居然宰我們說20多歐元,强烈鄙視.
市中心The Grande Bretagne Hotel 是雅典最奢華,最有歷史意義的酒店.不但歐洲皇族多下榻此地,二戰時希特勒和隆美爾,也是這邊的粉絲.
酒店中GB Corner就是地中海頂尖希臘美食的代表.
服務相當專業.
地中海菜系,湯有冷,熱之分.選了地中海時令魚湯,尚可.
色拉是廚師特選,一般.
主菜也沒有驚豔.

太座可憐老夫對希臘菜之失望,特允老朽點日本和牛一份.
和牛入口,始覺這頓飯還是沒有浪費時間.好笑,到希臘,居然只能覺得日本牛肉的美味.
想來,希特勒和隆美耳當年,跑到如此無趣,難吃之歐洲窮鄉僻壤,估計一回身,馬上會飛到巴黎,補補元氣,否則,納粹不用被盟軍打敗,派希臘廚師和出租車司机,納粹就game over瞭.
一個沒有自己文明,沒有自己美食,出租車司机沒有起碼作人準則的地方,靠一,兩部韓劇吹捧,真是羞恥.For nearly 130 years, the Hotel Grande Bretagne has been recognized as the "Royal Box" of Athens. Occupying the most prestigious block of the city's center, the Hotel Grande Bretagne stands across from Constitution Square, the House of Parliament and the National Gardens. Ideally located within short walking distance of exclusive shopping areas, restaurants, open-air cafes, museums and the business district, the hotel has hosted countless heads of state and international celebrities. The recent rennovation restored the historic features to much of the rooms and suites. The warm yellow and reds in the decor of the rooms reflect elegance and charm. Guests will enjoy the views of the city or the courtyard from any of the accomodations. Fine furnishings and crystal chandeliers make every moment, a grand occasion in the hotel's ballroom and banquet halls. Elegant surroundings welcome you to experience the rarity of antiques and remarkable detail at every turn. The Hotel's new banqueting room set the ideal venue for every type of meeting.

Origins and the Ségur family
While the first known reference to Lafite dates to 1234 with a certain Gombaud de Lafite, abbot of the Vertheuil Monastery north of Pauillac, Lafite’s mention as a medieval fief dates to the 14th century. The name Lafite comes from the Gascon language term “la hite”, which means “hillock”.
There were probably already vineyards on the property at the time when the Ségur family organised the vineyard in the 17th century, and Lafite began to earn its reputation as a great winemaking estate.
Jacques de Ségur is credited with the planting of the Lafite vineyard in the 1670’s and in the early 1680’s. In 1695, Jacques de Ségur’s heir, Alexandre, married the heiress of Château Latour, and they gave birth to Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur. The fiefs of Lafite and Latour were thus unified at the beginning of their estate legacy.
The “new French clarets”
From the early 18th century, Lafite found its market in London. It was discussed in the very official London Gazette of 1707 as being “sold at public auctions in the City of London. After being offloaded from foreign merchant ships seized by British corsairs as well as by the vessels of the Royal Navy” (the era was in the grips over the Spanish war of succession).
The London Gazette described the Lafite wine and its counterparts as “New French clarets”. Between 1732-1733, Robert Walpole, the Prime Minister, purchased a barrel of Lafite every three months. It was only much later that red Bordeaux wines were recognized on the continent.
The King’s Wine and the Wine Prince
Beginning in 1716, Marquis Nicolas Alexandre de Ségur would consolidate Lafite’s initial successes. He improved the winemaking techniques and above all enhanced the prestige of fine wines in foreign markets and the Versailles court. He became known as “The Wine Prince”, and Lafite’s wine became “The King’s Wine”, with the support of an able ambassador, the Maréchal de Richelieu.
Difficult inheritances
The Marquis did not have any sons, and his property was divided between his four daughters. Lafite was thus separated from Latour, despite its remaining in the family and being governed by the same steward until 1785.
Lafite was inherited by Count Nicolas Marie Alexandre de Ségur, the son of the Marquis’ oldest daughter, who had married a cousin, Alexandre de Ségur, who was provost of Paris. In 1785, the anonymous author of a memoir on the “Lafite Lordship” spoke of the “finest vineyard in the Universe”.
Things did not turn out so well for the Count de Ségur, though. With outstanding debts, he was forced to sell Château Lafite in 1784. As a relative of the seller, Nicolas Pierre de Pichard, the first president of the Bordeaux Parliament, used the “kinship rights” legislation to purchase the estate.
Thomas Jefferson
On the eve of the French revolution, Lafite was at the height of its winemaking legacy, as witnessed by the writings of Thomas Jefferson, future President of the United States.
While serving as ambassador for the young United States Republic to the Versailles Court, this multifaceted individual - farmer, businessman, politician, lawyer, architect, diplomat and founder of the University of Virginia - acquired a passion for winemaking and thought about developing it in his own country.
He stayed in Bordeaux in May 1787, and five days would be time enough for him to visit the major Chartrons merchants and gather a mass of information that he would report in his travel memoirs.
He detailed the hierarchy of the growths, highlighting those that would go on to be the four leading wines. Château Lafite was among them. Jefferson remained a steadfast customer of Bordeaux wines until the end of his days.
Classification of 1855
In 1815, Mr. Lawton published an initial classification of Médoc wines in his brokerage house log. It was apparently an accurate assessment, as it was very similar to the 1855 classification.
Lafite was already at the top of the list: “I ranked Lafite as the most elegant and delicate, with the finest fruit of the three (leading wines).” He added that “its wines are the most superb in all of Médoc.”
The 1834 vintage was particularly successful, as was 1841, and especially 1846. The vintage rankings of the Universal Paris Exposition in 1855 officially gave Lafite the rating as “Leader among fine wines”. This ranking would be the benchmark for a new and astonishing era of success for Médoc vineyards. The period’s finest vintages include 1847, 1848, 1858, 1864, 1869, 1870 and 1876
Baron James de Rothschild
On 8 August 1868, Baron James de Rothschild purchased Château Lafite, which had been placed under public sale through the inheritance of Ignace-Joseph Vanlerberghe.
Baron James, who was head of the French branch of the Rothschild family, passed away just 3 months after purchasing Lafite. The estate then became the joint property of his three sons: Alphonse, Gustave and Edmond. The estate then boasted 74 hectares of vineyards.
As a sign welcoming the new owner, Lafite vintage 1868 goes down as a record in many ways. It was the highest-priced wine of its vintage year (6,250 of that period’s francs, or 4,700 of today’s euros the ‘tonneau’ of 900 liters).
This early wine’s high price would remain a record for the entire century, before being far surpassed at the end of the 20th century. Fortunately for Barons Alphonse, Gustave, and Edmond de Rothschild, the “golden age” of Médoc would go on for another fifteen years after the purchase of Lafite

More Recent History
World War II caused a great ordeal for the Château, with the June 1940 defeat leading to the occupation of Médoc.
A German garrison was entrenched for the entire length of the occupation at Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Mouton Rothschild. The Rothschild family properties were confiscated and placed under public administration.
To avoid German greed, and through the care of provisional administrators, the winemaking estates were finally dismissed in 1942 to serve as agricultural vocational schools. The shortages and restrictions were made worse by requisitions and veiled ransacking of ancient vintages: these were painful blows to the Château.
The Barons de Rothschild recovered possession of Château Lafite Rothschild at the end of 1945, and Baron Elie was responsible for recovering the estate’s business. A series of excellent vintages in 1945, 1947, and 1949 would welcome the reconstruction effort.
Baron Elie: restructuring
Baron Elie led a program to restore the vineyards and the buildings, and to fully restructure the property’s administration.
He took practical steps, like adding a herd of dairy cows in the 1950s in order to use the prairies below the château as organic fertilizer supply.
Baron Elie was a major shaper of events in the difficult reconstitution of the fine wine market. He was an active member of “tasting” events in London, and one of the founding members of the Bordeaux wine guild, Commanderie du Bontemps of the Médoc, in 1950.
The very fine 1955 year was evidence of the wine’s renewal, but the Bordeaux vineyard suffered terrible frosts in February of 1956 before producing a new cycle of exceptional vintages in 1959 and 1961. The 1960’s rounded out the renaissance with new markets, particularly the United States. Prices rose, do in part to a healthy rivalry between Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Mouton Rothschild.
Baron Eric: renewal
After the 1973-1976 mini-crisis that hit Bordeaux, the recovery was heralded by very fine 1975 and 1976 vintages and the management of Château Lafite Rothschild by Baron Eric de Rothschild, nephew of Baron Elie.
Baron Eric’s management of the estate made strides forward through research for excellence and the gradual addition of a new technical team. In the vineyard, the replanting and restoration work was mirrored by reevaluated fertilizing and limited herbicide treatment.
In the chais, a stainless steel tank complex was installed alongside oak tanks, and a new circular aging chai was constructed under the supervision of Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill. This new design style would be acclaimed for its innovative character and uncompromising spirit, and can hold 2,200 barrels.
In the same artistic spirit, in 1985 Baron Eric began a tradition of inviting fine-arts photographers to photograph Château Lafite. These include such artists as Jacques Henri Lartique, Irving Penn, Robert Doisneau, and Richard Avedon.
He would also extend the horizons of the Domaines through new acquisitions both in France and abroad (see History of the Barons de Rothschild Domaines). The very fine vintages from the 1980’s (1982, 1985, 1986, 1989, and 1990) would be lauded by soaring market prices.
Promising new vintages
These good market conditions continued throughout the 1990’s. The turn of the century was very peaceful, and many fine new vintages were aging in the chais and cellars. Among them, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 will reveal their splendor with age. This reasonable optimism is based on continuous research for excellence that is so much a part of Château Lafite Rothchild’s history.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild occupies the finest crests in Pauillac. Throughout the middle ages, up until 1798, the seigneurs of Lafite were the high administrators of justice in the country. It was through officers of their choice that they exercised this right. The chateau was bought by Baron James de Rothschild in 1868, but he never saw it.
At the time he was old and sick, but his three sons, Alphonse, Gustave and Edmond liked the idea of pouring Lafite as their own wine. It was already the world's most prestigious wine.
Many records refer to the wines of Lafite including the well known archives of Thomas Jefferson who frequently purchased this wine for the first president of the United States, George Washington. Lafite represents the very best that wine can be.
The estate is one of the largest in the Mèdoc at around 1 km, and produces around 35,000 cases annually, of which between 15,000 and 25,000 are of its famous first growth.
Its vines are around 70 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 % Merlot, 3 % Cabernet Franc, and 2 % Petit Verdot, whereas the final wine is generally between 80 and 95 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 5 and 20 % Merlot, and up to 3 % Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Lafite is fermented in 27 vats of Bosnian oak and spends between 24-30 months in French oak barriques. The whole process from picking the grapes to bottling is strictly supervised by Eric de Rothschild, the present administrator on behalf of the family.
At picking time a very severe selection process is carried out and in very abundant vintages as much as half of the crop is eliminated.
