Immigration of 10 million sounds terrible, but in essence, after five years, it will be 2 million immigrants per year.

At the current population base, at a growth rate of 2 percent, Austria has 1.7 million new people per year, and in fact there will be more.

In the era when there was no entertainment, the people were still keen to create people. Together with the Vienna government's maternity subsidy, Austria's population growth rate is consistently among the highest in the world.

The total indigenous population has not decreased much, but the impact will still not be small. We are now at the juncture of the second industrial revolution, and the scale of new industries is expanding, and the demand for labor is also increasing.

The demand for labor is increasing, but the quantity is decreasing, the relationship between supply and demand in the labor market is changing, and it is imperative that labor costs rise.

Compared with traditional industries, the biggest feature of emerging industries is that they are dynamic. In the period of rapid development, enterprises have higher profits and can naturally pay higher wages.

In this context, if traditional enterprises do not want to be eliminated by the market, it is imperative to carry out technological innovation.

In fact, a lot of new production equipment has already appeared, but some capitalists are too lazy to replace it in order to save costs.

This is not a guess by Franz, but there is evidence. And the capitalists complained in the newspapers:

Now the mechanical equipment is updated so frequently, and today it is replaced with a new one, and it may fall behind in a few years. Anyway, the current equipment can still be used, so it's better to wait for a better one to appear, and then put it in one step.

The comfortable business environment for a long time has made the capitalists conservative. A lot of people are even against technological progress because it adds uncertainty.

The most typical is the age of electricity, and in order to save costs, there are still many factories that insist on using gas lamps.

It's not that the capitalists don't know the advantages of electric lights, but they just don't want to pay for the installation of electrical equipment.

Anyway, you can use gaslighting all the time, and you can continue to make money if you continue to make money, so why bother yourself?

The poor population in Austria is not located in the vast rural areas, but in the cities. The main reason for this is that everything is rising, but wages are not rising.

From 1848 to the present, per capita income in Austria has increased by 2.3 times, but the wages of workers have risen by only 56%, and even the wages of a considerable number of factories have not changed.

The economy is developing, and incomes are not keeping up, so it is not surprising that they have fallen into poverty.

Now Franz is offering an immigration trick, in fact, it is also a last resort. If this situation is not changed, sooner or later something will happen.

……

Milan, the capital of the Kingdom of Lombardy, has always been the most prosperous city in Italy. No, it should be said that it is the most prosperous area in Germany.

Geography has always been artificially divided, and now that Austria is powerful, Franz directly included the Lombardy region in Germany.

Whether you are used to it or not, all official documents state that Milan is part of the German region. The rationale is that the Lombards were a part of the German nation.

Although there are more Italians in the area, it doesn't matter. History can be changed, cultural traditions can be changed, and nations can be changed.

The international community has recognized that the Kingdom of Lombardy is part of the German region. There are many other places that were first included in the German region with Lombard, such as Venice next door, Hungary and the Austrian Balkans farther away......

Even the Kingdom of Jerusalem is about to become part of the German region, and looking at the map of the current German region can directly put historians to shame.

What natural conditions, historical factors, all nonsense, the real division is based on the characteristics of the times, the range of Austrian artillery, is the German region, or the Austrian region.

It's just a name, whatever you call it doesn't affect everyone's interests, and you can get used to it after hearing it a few more times.

The Daker textile mill is one of the most well-known companies in Milan and is one of the top three textile mills in Austria.

It has more than 130,000 employees, including more than a dozen factories such as silk reeling factory, wool mill, cotton mill, printing and dyeing factory, and garment factory.

There is an independent industrial park in the Milan area, and at this time of the day, the factory was already busy, but now it is eeriely dead.

Anyone in the know knows that there is another strike here.

Compulsory education is universally available in Austria, and the Kingdom of Lombardy is no exception. Thanks to the sense of discipline cultivated from an early age, the strike movement is now much more harmonious.

Everyone has clearly understood that machinery and equipment are the guys who eat, and smashing and looting is smashing their own rice bowls.

This does not affect everyone's legal strike, as long as it does not affect social and public order, the strike is still everyone's basic right and can be carried out without anyone's approval.

Milan is heavily influenced by Italian maritime culture and is the birthplace of the Renaissance, with much more new ideas and more frequent strikes than the rest of Austria.

Of course, this was not the main factor in the strike at the Daker textile factory. Like the vast majority of traditional enterprises, the once-prosperous Daker textile factory has gradually declined.

After the outbreak of the second industrial revolution, Daker textile factory did not seize the opportunity, sided with the conservatives, failed to update the equipment in time, and showed fatigue in the market competition.

Affected by the decline in profits, from 1870 to the present, the enterprises did not increase their wages once, but the prices did not stop waiting for them, and the strike movement naturally took place.

Like most businesses, Daker Textile Factory is a family-owned business, and its current owner, Daker Ranno, is already in his seventies.

When he was young, he was also a man of the hour. In the Aussian-Saxon War, he decisively bet on Austria, and after the war, the rivals received a boxed lunch because they were on the wrong team, and Dakle Lanno took the opportunity to annex their factory, and then started to lie down and win life.

Taking advantage of the gap in the market, the Daker textile factory developed rapidly, and at its peak the number of workers once exceeded 180,000, and the annual output value of the enterprise entered the top 100 in Austria.

However, this kind of industry without core technology has a common problem, that is, there are many competitors.

After the Vienna government's strategy of "changing wheat to mulberry", the Kingdom of Lombardy soon became the most important producer of raw silk in Austria.

The first month of the building near the water, Da Keer Textile Factory enjoyed the first wave of dividends, and the local organization of production was undoubtedly a great reduction in costs.

Even now, the Daker mill accounts for most of the raw silk processing in the Lombard Kingdom. With a complete industrial chain, it stands to reason that Daker textile should be very moisturized.

However, with the advent of the Second Industrial Revolution, things began to change. All kinds of machinery and equipment are constantly updated, and the elderly and conservative Dakler-Lanno did not keep up with the pace of the times in order to pursue greater profits.

Step by step, capital competition is also exhaustive, and competitors will not leave them a chance.

New technologies bring not only increased productivity, but also improved product quality. In the case of a similar price, good quality goods are definitely more popular.

In just a few years, the market share of Daker textile fabrics has been eaten away by one-third by competitors, and the company's profits have plummeted.

After receiving the news of the strike, Dakor Lanno slammed the table: "It's a strike again, these conscienceless things, I don't want to think about who is raising them!"

If we fall, they won't even have a job. If you don't want to do it, don't do it, there are many people who want to enter Daker to work.

Tell me to go down and fire 10% of the striking personnel according to the old rules, and order them to return to work immediately. ”

This is the experience that Dakor Lanno summed up in dealing with the strike. Among the workers, he also bribed spies, and whenever this time, as long as someone took the lead in resuming work, the strike could not be carried out.

Usually those who remain at the end are diehards, and naturally they must be expelled. As for whether or not we really want to lay off 10 percent of the staff, it doesn't matter, as long as we get rid of the diehards, or the leaders, and make an example.

In this era of worse than rotten, Dakor Lanno thinks that he has done a good job, at least he has obeyed the law, which is much better than the underground black factory.

Of course, this was limited to him, who was seen as a vampire by the workers. Comply with the Labour Protection Act, sorry, but not a single big company in Austria dares to break the law, and it is only small businesses that take risks.

There is no way, the Vienna government is keeping a close eye on it, the enforcement is very strong, and the "Labor Protection Act" is not excessive, and in essence it is also protecting the interests of both parties.

It was not that no one threatened the Vienna government with the closure of the factory, but it was useless, and Franz did a very thorough job of upholding the dignity of the law.

Regardless of the consequences, it is better to go to jail or to go to jail. Before threatening the government, it is better to hope that there is no black history, otherwise you will not even have the qualifications to close the factory, and all your assets will be confiscated by the government.

A large part of Austria's state-owned enterprises were confiscated, and almost every three or five years the Vienna government auctioned off a number of state-owned enterprises, most of which were small factories.

After learning from the past, the people behind are much more low-key. Just take advantage of the loopholes in the law, and directly confront the government, forget it!

It seems that the bourgeoisie is powerful, but in fact their strength is very limited, and they all rely on throwing money to blow up the momentum.

If nothing else, who can integrate the bourgeoisie with a serious conflict of interest, believe it or not, and make someone a traitor every minute?

Nowhere is this more evident than in Austria, where the capitalists have become much less vocal after the law stipulates that the news must be authentic.

Firing empty cannons and making promises is also responsible for the law. You dare to brag about it, and other newspapers don't dare to publish it.

Little Lanno objected: "Father, this is not good! In the past year, we have fired 20,000 old workers, and now many of the new recruits are not up to standard, and the rate of defective products is two percentage points higher.

The increase in the rate of defective products will affect the reputation of our products, and now the competition is so fierce, if we can not ensure the quality of our products, our market will be robbed by competitors.

This amounts to a vicious circle, and it is better to send people to talk to the workers' representatives first, and then dismiss these thorns. ”

As a qualified capitalist, you always put your interests first.

After weighing the pros and cons, Dakle Lanno shook her head: "There can be no compromise, human desires are endless. As soon as this precedent is set, we will never be at peace.

Remember the cannery next door, a shrewd man like McDow, who compromised with the workers in order to catch up with a batch of orders, and then was directly dragged down by the high labor costs.

Remember, even if we want to raise the salary, it has to be done on our own initiative. If you are forced to give in by them, you will not be grateful. ”

This case has been heard many times by Little Lanno. It's just that his opinion is the opposite, McDow is still living a good life after the canning factory is closed, and it is obviously not that he can't afford to close the door at the cost of labor.

The fact that there is not a single large-scale cannery in the Kingdom of Lombardy is already telling. The vast majority of Austria's food factories are concentrated in Hungary and the Balkans, and for no other reason than the proximity of raw materials.

In the production of canned food in Milan, is it possible to use mulberry fruit as a raw material? Don't be funny, who is this thing sold to.

The best canned food on the market now is meat, and canned fruits and vegetables are all purchased by the crew. Unfortunately, Milan don't really have an advantage in this regard.

However, the last sentence, Little Lanno still approves. Making concessions at this time really can't buy people's hearts.

As for the aftermath, they have already resumed work, so why increase labor costs?
