Chapter 596: Outbreak One

readx; If the Kuomintang is engaged in other modes of rebellion, such as directly pulling up an army of tens of thousands of people, or planning the rebellion of other troops, it is not a threat to Chen Jingyun, at most, it is an order for the army to encircle and suppress, at most it is ten days and half a month's work to calm down the situation, and then with Chen Jingyun's usual ruthlessness, these rebels will be sent to see the king of Yama.

In Chen Jingyun's concept, there has never been a term for political prisoners, because Chen Jingyun has always caught these political dissidents, especially those who want to overthrow his own rule, such as the Kuomintang, and shot them directly. Chen Jingyun didn't have that much money in his hands, built so many prisons, and supported them for decades.

If the Kuomintang comes to Ming directly, Chen Jingyun is not afraid, but now the Kuomintang does not give him Ming, but comes to conspire. And this conspiracy still has an element of conspiracy in it.

Why?

Because what the Kuomintang is going to launch is a strike, and who are the strikers? It's a worker in a major factory!

And here is the problem, if Chen Jingyun is ruthless and brutally suppresses the strike, although he personally has no psychological pressure, killing one person is disgusting, killing ten people will make him feel guilty, and when he kills a hundred, or even tens of thousands, it will evolve into a paper number. But Chen Jingyun is easy to kill, but if all these workers are killed, it means that the industrial system that Chen Jingyun has spent countless efforts to build over the years will almost collapse.

Why is it said that the Kuomintang instigated the workers to launch a strike is a conspiracy, this is it, they are sure that Chen Jingyun will not dare to kill the workers on a large scale.

This situation is different from the land reform of the year, when Chen Jingyun wanted to implement the land reform in these years, he encountered a lot of troubles, and it was common for landlords in some rural areas to carry out violent resistance, and there were even several large-scale riots of tens of thousands of people, and in 1916, at the beginning of reunification, large-scale violent resistance broke out in Hunan, and those landlords and squires actually raised tens of thousands of people in a short period of time, and also conquered two county seats, although most of them were bewitched peasants, But this number was so large that Chen Jingyun felt shocked at that time.

However, the army under Chen Jingyun was not raised to eat rice, and the troops stationed in Hunan were quickly dispatched, and it didn't take a few days to completely suppress the incident, and then kill a river of blood.

Chen Jingyun dared to kill people on a large scale in this kind of riot~ movement back then, but in the face of the strike, Chen Jingyun did not dare, or was unwilling.

Cultivating these millions of industrial workers is no easy task.

Faced with this thorny situation, Chen Jingyun had to be prepared to fundamentally alleviate the current problem, in addition to instructing Chen Cai's investigation bureau to solve the problem from the Kuomintang.

Yes, it's relief, not resolution.

Because the contradiction between the workers and the capital is always irreconcilable, the capitalists want the workers to work longer hours and pay lower wages, while the workers want shorter working hours and better wages. The demands of these two parties are opposite and contradictory, and they simply cannot be completely resolved.

Chen Jingyun, who had this thought in his heart, quickly called Tang Shaoyi, Hong Zitai and a few other people.

"Strike? If this really happens, then I am afraid it will deal a serious blow to the industrial and commercial development of our country! When the aging Hong Zitai heard Chen Jingyun say that the Kuomintang was going to plan a strike, he showed a worried look: "Most of the industries in various places are concentrated in the industrial zones of the provinces, and if there is a strike, I am afraid that it will soon cause a chain reaction, and it may even paralyze the entire industrial zone at that time!" ”

Ma Yinchu, director of the Department of Economic Development next to him, also looked worried: "Our economic situation has just improved this year, why is this happening?" ”

Seeing that these two people were worried, Tang Shaoyi on the side said, "Don't worry, hasn't it happened now?" Now that we've got the news in advance, it's time to keep the situation within our control! ”

Hong Zitai on the side said: "How can this be controlled, the people of the Kuomintang don't listen to us!" ”

Tang Shaoyi said: "The Kuomintang group naturally has the Investigation Bureau to deal with, our main work is still concentrated on the workers' side, it doesn't matter if the Kuomintang listens to us or not, but the workers can obey it, as long as the workers are appeased and the workers do not mess around, it is impossible for the Kuomintang to launch a strike even if it is jumping!" ”

Cen Chunxuan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs also said: "I think this is also the case, the key to the current problem is to stabilize the workers first!" ”

Chen Jingyun, who was above, also nodded when he heard them say this: "Now the crux of the problem is here, we have to stabilize the workers, but how to stabilize it?" That's why I'm here for you! ”

The first is to raise wages, and the second is to shorten working hours. As long as these two points are improved, then the strike will not be possible, after all, the workers are only striking for these two things, but it has nothing to do with doctrine, the state and the nation.

But in this case, the capitalists are involved, and if they want to raise the wages of the workers and shorten the working hours, they will make the capitalists spit out a part of the profits, and this kind of thing is naturally unwilling of the capitalists.

"I'm afraid it's very difficult to do this, and it's useless to improve the treatment of one or two families, it requires the entire industrial system to greatly improve the treatment, so I'm afraid it's very difficult!" Tang Shaoyi worried: "Even if the enterprises controlled by Huaxia Bank under your name can improve the corresponding treatment, I am afraid that other domestic enterprises will not follow up!" If they don't follow up, a few companies in the heavy industry sector that are closely linked to the political axe will be given higher salaries, but this will not be enough to solve the current crisis. ”

"I know that!" Chen Jingyun naturally knows his own affairs clearly, although he controls Huaxia Bank, and Huaxia Bank controls most of China's heavy industry enterprises.

However, over the years, Huaxia Bank has been trying to transform, from direct investment to loan development model, so many enterprises have been transferred one after another, and even some companies that have not been transferred have sold a part of their shares, except for a few important enterprises, most of the others are no longer wholly owned.

Moreover, the enterprises controlled by Huaxia Bank are mainly heavy industry, although the enterprises under its umbrella are all large in scale and can affect the economic trend, such as several large iron and steel enterprises, such as Fule Electric, which are super-large-scale enterprises, but although the scale of these enterprises is large, the total number of enterprises is not much, and the number of workers under it is not too much for the entire Chinese worker group.

In recent years, China's industry has developed rapidly, and many industries have a large number of factories, and the workers in these private or foreign-funded factories are the representatives of China's current workers.

Therefore, Huaxia Bank alone cannot solve this matter, and must work with other capitalists in China to solve this matter.

"The Ministry of Industry and Commerce has come up with a feasible plan first, not only to appease the emotions of workers, but also to take care of the survival of domestic enterprises!" When Chen Jingyun said this, he thought about it again and said: "I want to set up a trade union in the next two days, and let the trade union negotiate a specific plan with the management when the time comes!" The job of the political axe department is to negotiate the two! ”

After the development of industry to a certain scale and the number of workers has a huge number, trade unions will be born sooner or later, so it is better for the workers to organize themselves or let the Kuomintang control the formation of trade unions, and it is better for the Kuomintang to directly come forward to set up trade unions, and Chen Jingyun does not want to let trade unions become tools of other parties.

Moreover, a controlled trade union is extremely important to China's industrial development today, and if the trade union is not controlled, it will provoke a strike at two ends in three days, and it will not let people live.

Hong Zitai over there said: "Over the years, there have been many trade unions established, but most of them were made by the workers themselves, and this time they can be pulled in together!" ”

And when this tone was set, the Chinese Federation of Trade Unions, organized by the National Socialist Party, was soon established, and the Chinese Federation of Trade Unions was not strictly speaking an administrative department of the political axe, but a non-governmental organization, but if you consider that the staff members in it are all members of the National Socialist Party, then it is difficult to say that this organization is a non-governmental organization.

At the same time as preparing for the trade union, Chen Jingyun also met with several senior executives of Huaxia Bank, saying that there might be a large-scale strike, and hoped that the enterprises under Huaxia Bank should be prepared to deal with it, and more importantly, in order to avoid the strike from affecting the large enterprises under Huaxia Bank that are related to national defense and economic lifeline, Chen Jingyun asked Huaxia Bank to come up with a specific action plan in a short time, which should include raising wages for workers and ensuring that workers' working hours are within a certain feasible range.

Chen Jingyun is not only the president, but also the largest shareholder of Huaxia Bank, so what Chen Jingyun said, what he asked to do is beyond doubt, although many senior managers of Huaxia Bank do not agree with raising the wages of workers, believing that this measure is even a small increase in the proportion of workers' wages, but when it is extended to the entire Huaxia Bank, I am afraid that it will cause additional expenses of up to hundreds of millions of yuan to Huaxia Bank a year.

Faced with the doubts of the Chen brothers, Chen Jingyun said directly: "Can't you see the continuous development and progress of technology now?" If you increase the wages of the workers, won't you improve the technical level of the equipment, increase the production efficiency, and let the workers produce more products? ”

Chen Jingyun said it simply, but such a simple truth, the Chen brothers themselves don't know it, improve the technical level? It's easy to say, but every technological innovation requires a lot of capital to be invested, and if the production efficiency can be improved, those capitalists would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now.

For example, China has long been advocating assembly line production, this term is not a new word, major enterprises have also implemented a certain assembly line production, but for the entire industrial system, assembly line production involves not a simple assembly line matter, but involves the standard and standardized process of the entire industry.

To implement the assembly line production model, the simplest example is that the standards of screws and nuts must be unified, and this unity is not just a factory, an industry, but the entire industry. Only by implementing this standard in the national industrial system can we talk about assembly line production, so that each factory can manufacture different standard parts, and then the parts of these different factories can be assembled into a finished product.

This is the assembly line production in a broad sense that involves all industrial sectors. Those who only do one thing in a single factory are just assembly line production in the narrow sense.

"It is difficult to improve production efficiency, but this is the stage of development and progress, although China's industry has developed fairly well over the years, and the treatment of workers has also improved, but I don't say that you yourself know that the workers who have made significant contributions to the defense industry over the years have not enjoyed the corresponding economic development benefits. The first few years were okay, but as time passes, there will inevitably be more and more problems! Chen Jingyun said again.

But Chen Jinghai still said with a bitter face: "Third brother, you also know, the post-war economic crisis in the past two years has not stopped, although last year because of the two wars and one-sided stimulation of economic development, but this is only a short-term prosperity, in this case, the profits of various enterprises are not high, and even many industries are still losing money, if this crisis situation also increases the wages and benefits of workers, I am afraid it is very difficult!" I have a copy of the economic forecast of the Economic Research Office here, and you can also take a look at it! ”

After hearing this, Chen Jingyun directly took it and read that the economic research office under Huaxia Bank wrote this report. Due to its large scale, Huaxia Bank also needs to study China and even the world economy, so as to provide the best investment methods and avoid losses for Huaxia Bank's decision-makers.

In fact, more than half of the researchers employed in Huaxia Bank's economic research office are foreign economists, and their talent pool is much better than that of the economic development department.

Moreover, the purpose of the Economic Development Division is not to study the economy, but to study a small part of the business of the Economic Development Division, the most important task of the Economic Development Division is to formulate an overall industrial economic development plan for China, and the fundamental purpose is to enable China to complete industrialization in the most optimized, most rational and fastest way.

The thinking of the political axe department is different from that of the banking institutions, so the views are also very different, which Chen Jingyun confirmed after seeing the world economic forecast report of the Huaxia Bank Economic Research Office.

"How could it be for so many years?" Chen Jingyun couldn't help frowning when he saw that the above report said that the economic crisis in the world was far from over and might continue for many years.

Chen Jinghai on one side said: "These two countries in the world are deeply affected by the post-war economic crisis, not only because our economic development has slowed down, but also in the United States, where the unemployment rate is increasing year by year, and the economic crisis has made all countries adopt higher tariffs to create trade barriers to protect their own industry and commerce, but to a certain extent, it has also exacerbated the economic crisis worldwide!" So for the entire world economy, this economic crisis is far from over! ”

"Although China's economic situation has improved, but this is also based on the increase in trade tariffs and increase domestic demand, and most of the enterprises that have improved are products oriented to the domestic market, for some foreign trade, especially the raw silk industry is still facing difficulties!" Chen Jinghai continued.

"Our Huaxia Bank's enterprises are mainly facing the country, and the impact will not be too great, but some other industries, especially Southeast Bank, are afraid to face great difficulties, and in this case, if we want to improve the wages of workers, Southeast Bank is afraid that it will be difficult to survive!"

As the second largest bank in China, Southeast Bank is also a super trust enterprise like Huaxia Bank, the difference is that Huaxia Bank controls heavy industries such as steel and electricity, while Southeast Bank is mainly engaged in the textile industry, especially the raw silk industry.

Southeast Bank has controlled at least 80% of domestic raw silk enterprises, accounting for more than 90% of exports.

Although China's raw silk exports have been increasing in recent years, the pressure they are facing is not ordinarily large, especially the pressure of raw silk from this is to make domestic raw silk enterprises under huge pressure. In addition to the direct competition of raw silk, the United States and other countries have also raised certain tariffs on raw silk imports, which has depressed the profits of domestic raw silk enterprises.

In this case, if these raw silk enterprises are allowed to increase the wages of workers, it is possible to go bankrupt.

Faced with these tricky situations, Chen Jingyun also felt quite embarrassed.

But no matter how difficult things are, they have to be done!

"You don't have to worry about other banks, now Huaxia Bank wants to stabilize the workers of its enterprises, to put it mildly, other industries will be ruined, it's a big deal to start over, but Huaxia Bank is all defense-related industries related to the survival of the country. We can do without money, but we can't do without cannons! Chen Jingyun didn't want to listen to Chen Jinghai anymore, he knew what Chen Jinghai said about the trouble, but what if he knew?

Although a group of executives of Huaxia Bank were reluctant, but in the face of Chen Jingyun's request, Huaxia Bank still had to follow Chen Jingyun's request, so the major enterprises of Huaxia Bank soon introduced policies to increase workers' wages and shorten working hours.

And at this time, the Kuomintang that had been lurking in the shadows finally surfaced, and on April 5, a strike broke out in a textile factory in Shanghai, and then the strike quickly spread to the surrounding factories!

The first large-scale strike in the history of China finally broke out under various intrigues and economic crises!
