The times are advancing, and so are people.

Ever since the management announced the company's decision, the workers involved in the strike have been talking about it.

An ordinary-looking young man sneered: "It's this again, don't they know how to change some other tricks?" ”

Obviously, the young man was still afraid to call him by his name. There is the boss's eyeliner among the workers, and everyone is clear, and some people have been fired for complaining in private.

But now it's different from the past, if you are fired, you will be fired, and if you change to work in a factory, you really can't find a job and you can go to the colony, anyway, you won't starve to death.

There is one more road, and everyone's confidence is a lot. If Da Keer Textile Factory is well treated, it is estimated that everyone will be reluctant to lose their jobs.

It's a pity that maybe ten years ago, the Daker textile factory could be said to be treated well, but now it is definitely not.

A middle-aged man next to him glared at him fiercely: "Shut up, Lake!" ”

It can be seen that the middle-aged man's eyes are full of worry. In this era, factory management is not harmonious, and punches and kicks are common.

The Lanno father and son have been building up their authority for a long time, and they have zero tolerance for anything that challenges their majesty.

Although Lake's words were not directly named, once they were passed out, they could still be retaliated against.

Ordinary workers can't fight the capitalists, and a few years ago, there were people who had accidents because they spoke ill of their bosses.

It was an accident to the outside world, but in fact, those in the know know that it was arranged by someone to artificially create an accident and kill the unlucky guy and make an example of the monkey.

Accidents, you can't find the boss at all. The worker who caused the accident took full responsibility, the factory paid a pension, and the matter passed.

For a while, everyone was in danger, everyone knew that there was a boss eyeliner around them, unless it was relatives and friends, and the rest distrusted each other.

In recent years, the Lombard Kingdom has begun to rectify the chaos of the factory, and the factories that often have accidents, the safety audit will not pass, and the Lanno father and son have relented.

I don't dare to cause accidents, but it is common to deliberately make things difficult or fired at work.

A young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old next to him: "Don't worry, Uncle Lawles. Lake will be fine, such a big thing has happened, who cares about such a small thing! ”

This is a fact, now more than 100,000 people are on strike, and many people are complaining, and if they want to retaliate, they must also consider whether everyone will be in danger.

Now the management is still worried, how to let everyone return to work, and make a small report, let's stand aside first!

……

In the company conference room, it is now gloomy. The method of layoffs, which has always been regarded as the treasure of Dakor Lanno, suddenly did not work.

At this time, usually two or three days, the workers were quick to make compromises, led by the bribed spies.

This time it's different, it's the fifth day, less than a tenth of the people have returned to work, and the rest of the workers seem to prefer to be laid off rather than compromised, which is embarrassing.

Fire the rest of the workers and just think about it. Every day a factory downtime is not a small amount of money.

If everyone is fired, there will not be so many replacements in a short period of time, and Daker Textile Factory may not be able to restore production capacity for two or three years.

For such a long time, competitors have long since snatched up their market. Old Lanno's face was gloomy and terrible, and he couldn't get the workers back to work in time, which was also a blow to his prestige.

The rapid development and growth of the Daker textile factory is naturally not something that the Daker family can do, and there are many collaborators involved during this period.

Especially after the listing, the board of directors also restricted the power of the old Lanno to a certain extent. Although he still dominates the business, as the development of the Daker textile factory is in trouble, there is more criticism.

Many people think that the old Lanno is too old to continue to lead the Daker Textile Factory, and now this incident has appeared, making the situation even more unfavorable.

The fragrant coffee on the table did not arouse the interest of old Lanno in the slightest. To "compromise" or not to "compromise" is a headache.

The factory shutdown brings much more than just the surface, but also the impact on the company's brand and market share.

Da Keer Textile Factory is also a golden signboard, once the news of the strike spreads, it will inevitably impact the gold content of the brand, thereby affecting the sales market.

A middle-aged man dressed in a fancy costume: "Mr. Lanno, it's the fifth day now. If the strike doesn't end, we won't be able to hold it down on the media's side.

The influence of the Daker textile factory, we do not yet have the ability to block all the newspapers in the world. Now that the news has spread, perhaps the reporter is already on his way. ”

Big business and newspapers are always inextricably linked, and the capitalists have long been at a loss for self-discipline in the matter of using capital to influence public opinion.

It's a pity that there are too many newspapers to buy them at all. As soon as one of them pokes the news out, the lid is lifted.

When the news of the strike spreads, the stock market suffers first, which means that the wealth of everyone present will be greatly reduced.

In fact, if it weren't for the Vienna Stock Authority's strict management, there would have been people on the board of directors who would have sold shares.

In recent years, the development of Daker Textile Factory has not been smooth, and it is no longer a good investment project. Now that this is happening again, it is also a good choice to cash out while the stock price is still good.

Unfortunately, the Austrian government strictly prohibits insider trading, and even if you want to cash out, you have to make the information public.

The Daker textile mill was listed in Vienna and was naturally subject to the supervision of the Austrian government. It's not impossible to conceal information, but if it is found out, the proceeds will be confiscated.

This "income" is the total income from the transaction. Franz believed that it was too difficult to distinguish between "illegal gains" and "lawful gains", so in order not to trouble law enforcement officers, they simply confiscated together.

Dealing with criminals strictly is just a warning to latecomers not to defy the law.

In order to pay less tax, some people privately traded stocks with others and deliberately reduced the contract amount.

After being caught, because it was impossible to distinguish between the illegal profits of this transaction and the previous wealth, all the family property was directly confiscated.

Everyone is a big family, and they have passed the era of bare feet, and they finally got ashore, so they are naturally unwilling to take the risk of taking a fortune.

Old Lanno nodded, signaling that he understood. This is to be expected, more than 100,000 people are on strike, and it is simply impossible to keep it secret.

Except that it was not published in the newspapers, this was already an open secret of the city of Milan, and perhaps the entire Lombard kingdom knew about it.

"On the newspaper side, we need time to continue to do a good job of public relations.

If you make concessions now, it will undoubtedly encourage the arrogance of those white-eyed wolves, and the factory will not be able to manage normally in the future.

Today they have succeeded in asking for a wage increase, tomorrow they will demand better food, and the day after tomorrow they will demand shorter working hours and more holidays......

It's true that we pay low, but it's not the lowest. Since the market accepts this price, it justifies it.

They can increase their wages if they want to, but they must wait for the company's performance to improve. Enterprises are no longer profitable, and what do they pay them.

Little Lanno sent people to do ideological work for the workers. Tell them that the factory is in trouble now, and as long as they get through the current hurdle, I will give them a salary increase later. ”

Old Lanno has realized the crisis, and although the treatment of Da Keer Textile Factory is not the lowest, it is also about to be at the bottom.

It's not that he didn't think about improving the treatment of workers, but the efficiency of Da Keer Textile Factory continued to decline, and then increased labor costs, and the company's profits would further decline.

Poor performance statements will undoubtedly affect the stock market, and the board of directors alone will not have a good time.

The most important thing is that Old Lanno is the largest shareholder of Da Keer Textile Factory, and his losses are also the largest due to the decline in corporate profits.

It is very abnormal for a large company to even look ahead and backward to increase labor wages.

Little Lanno saw it better than his father, and he knew that an increase in wages was already necessary. For no other reason, the main one is that the workers are no longer able to support their families.

Austria has developed rapidly in recent years, creating a large number of new jobs every year, and the Vienna government recently announced a large migration plan.

The combination of these factors will inevitably affect the relationship between supply and demand in the labor market. Standing on his own standpoint, Little Lanno is naturally opposed to large-scale foreign immigration, which will increase domestic labor costs.

It is a pity that the arms are not able to reach the thighs, and no matter how much the capitalists oppose them, they will not be able to influence the decisions of the Vienna government.

What's more, not all capitalists are against it, and there is no shortage of supporters. For some capitalists, this is also an opportunity.

With rising labor costs, companies that are complacent will definitely be slowly eliminated from the market, while companies that are brave enough to innovate can go further.

On the one hand, there are fewer competitors, and on the other hand, the purchasing power of the market has increased.

When workers' salaries increase, they also need to be consumed. The hot money in the market has increased, and it has become easier for everyone to make money, and after a turn in the market, it will eventually return to the hands of the capitalists.

This is a virtuous economic cycle, which does not mean that if labor costs increase, everyone's profits will necessarily decrease.

……

Telegram is a good thing and speeds up the spread of news. By the time Little Lanno took action, it was too late.

As soon as he entered the workers' quarters, Little Lanno was surrounded by a group of reporters, including official reporters.

"Mr. Lanno, what do you think of this strike?"

"Mr. Lanno, will you suppress this strike?"

……

Looking at the camera set up not far away, little Lanno wanted to cry without tears.

Of course he has "opinions", but there is no way to say it!

"Suppression of strikes" Isn't this a joke, you are all here, who dares to suppress strikes?

Moreover, even with them, they do not have the strength to suppress strikes. More than 100,000 people, even if they are all rabble, once they make trouble, it will be earth-shattering.

Now the workers are on legal strike, just nesting up at home to rest, or going out to hang out. Whoever dares to exacerbate the contradictions is ready to be sacrificed by the Lombard government.

Bribing newspapers to cover up news. It seemed to be doing a good job, but they ignored the feelings of the palace person.

Which person in power would like to see an uncontrolled presence under his rule? Ludwig II was no exception, and on the surface, the king was not good at dealing with them, which did not mean that he could not wear small shoes.

The fact that there are so many journalists now speaks volumes.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for these newspaper reporters scattered all over the country to arrive at the same time, unless someone is behind the scenes.

The Da Keer Textile Factory is not small, and it has established a solid interest group in the local area, which ordinary people simply cannot afford to provoke.

Strikes are the common enemy of the capitalists, and even rivals will not support the workers' movement at this time, because strikes are contagious.

Once the workers of the Daker textile factory succeeded in fighting for their rights, it would spread to other factories in the surrounding area, and whoever lifted the lid would become the enemy of the capitalists.

However, this does not include the Lombard royal family, to put it bluntly, the bourgeoisie is essentially bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and everyone who can't afford to provoke them will still decisively not see it.

Little Lanno didn't know who was targeting them, but he knew that this time the "Da Keer Textile Factory" was in big trouble. Once the news gets out, the workers are less likely to compromise.

Originally, it was planned that the management would talk to the workers alone and coerce and induce, but now they can't do it.

Otherwise, if he encounters a hard-boned person and stabs the news to the reporter, he will not be able to eat and walk around.
