Chapter 560 Negotiation (Part 1)

If this matter is published in the newspaper, it will become known to everyone the next day, not to mention that they always like to expand the story according to their own imagination and the readers' hobbies. When Gore thought that what he did might be criticized by the whole city, he felt a dull headache.

"Drive those people from the newspaper out and don't let them get close to the shantytown!" He said with a determined heart.

"But boss, they are not hired workers." The subordinate hesitated, "If we hurt them, the police department will cause trouble for us."

"Are you stupid?" Gore scolded angrily, "Did I ask you to use knives, guns, sticks and clubs? Can't you find a few more people to surround them, and then carry them away? What's the point of having such a big brain?"

"Yes, yes..." The subordinate replied embarrassedly, "I'll do it right away."

He called another supervisor, "Divide the remaining people into three teams, leave one team to block the door, and the rest will flank from the east and west, and rush into the shed again. This time, no matter who comes to stop them, they will be beaten to death. I don't believe they can hold on to the end-"

"No, there is no need for that." Suddenly someone interrupted him.

"Brother?" Gore turned around and found that Philip Law, the manager of the Orchard, was walking towards him through the crowd. "It's only two o'clock now. Why are you here?"

"I originally thought that you could shake the position of the hired workers to some extent, but it seems that I was wrong." The other party stopped by the carriage, "Haven't you realized yet? This number of people is not enough. It's futile for you to charge a few more times."

"How could it be... They are only about a hundred people, and we are close to two hundred, with a greater advantage in numbers. Brother, let me try!"

"Look again, are they really only about a hundred people?"

Gore was stunned and looked towards the shantytown.

At some point, the number of people guarding the entrance increased a lot. He couldn't count the exact number, but the dark crowd of heads had obviously become thicker.

There was also a team defending the side... At the beginning, there were only seven or eight people, but now there are more than a dozen.

Not only that, everyone looked at the supervisor with less timidity, and the expressions on their faces were much firmer than before.

Gore had hardly seen a similar mental outlook in these low-level hired workers.

In his impression, numbness and confusion are the norm for these people. If they can't understand human language, they are not much different from the livestock raised in the farmhouse.

The direct gaze even made him feel offended.

"See? If you can't let them taste a deep lesson once, they will have the courage they shouldn't have and try the scope of the boundary little by little. Every failure of yours is equivalent to encouraging this attempt." Philip said calmly, "This is a process of rise and fall. At the beginning, they really could only get the support of a hundred people, but the situation is no longer the same as before."

"Brother, I-"

"You don't have to admit your mistakes," the steward interrupted him, "From the moment this group of people also had the help of the demon holders, the difficulty of this matter has exceeded the scope of your solution. If you report it truthfully, I think Mr. Azier will not blame you. Go and tell the striking workers that I will sit down and talk with them, and my meaning will also be the meaning of the owner of the fruit garden."

...

The news spread throughout the shantytown almost instantly.

"What did you say? Baiguoyuan is willing to negotiate?"

"Yes! They can't do anything to us, so they can only negotiate!"

"Is it true? So soon?"

"It's because Momola picked the right time. They can't bear to part with that ship of intoxicating fruit."

The hired workers whispered to each other, each of them excited. This is the first time that the factory has made concessions to the grassroots workers!

"Momola, good news, good news-Gol agreed to meet with us!" Las ran all the way to where Catwoman was standing, shouting excitedly, "He also said that the manager is now at the door and can start at any time. How should we respond to him?"

Momola had noticed the movements of the other side a long time ago, and immediately replied, "Lead them into the shed, no men are allowed to bring, and no weapons are allowed! By the way, please ask Horn and Mrs. Karan to come over. They are representatives of the handling and packaging teams and should attend this interview."

"Okay, I'll go and notify them now."

After Las ran away, Momola turned to look at Li, and the expectation in her eyes was self-evident.

Li shook his head, "I won't show up. Xia Fan said that if it is not necessary, it is better for the ambassadors to stay out of the other party's sight."

Even if they don't hide it deliberately, they don't have to go on stage openly.

If the workers can complete this struggle by their own strength, that would be the most ideal result.

Momola felt a little regretful, but she also knew that this matter could not be forced. She bowed her head deeply, saluted Li with gratitude, then jumped off the roof and ran towards the central shed, "Don't leave yet, you must wait for me to come back."

"Remember to think about the conditions before speaking, don't give in easily!"

"I will!" She waved her hand while running.

Li looked at the other party's back, but his thoughts were not as relaxed as he showed.

The reaction of Baiguoyuan was really too quick.

It was as if there was a plan for this matter.

According to Xia Fan's estimate, the struggle between the two sides might last for two to three days, especially with Azier's arrogant temperament, it would not be easy to make him give in to his own workers.

The newly arrived intoxicated fruit is indeed a heavy bargaining chip, but it is not a decisive factor. For example, entrusting the port sailors to unload the goods and asking the wizard to keep the goods fresh can delay the loss. The real key point is the factory itself - factory construction, machinery and equipment, and skilled workers are all things that require a large investment to exchange for, and that is a more valuable bargaining chip than the intoxicated fruit.

Only when Azier realizes that the workers have a firm will to resist his means of disintegration, and that continuing to fight like this may lead to all the investment being lost, will he really consider ways to stop the loss.

Li also deeply agrees with this.

Although she has never been to the West, she has seen what merchants look like.

If possible, they will not miss any opportunity to grab profits.

A ship of intoxicated fruit is certainly a lot of money, but giving concessions to workers and increasing their wages is also an additional expense. Even if the latter is small, it is not something that merchants can give up.

They will not easily give up this little profit unless they really suffer or are forced into a situation where they have no choice.

But Baiguoyuan chose the best stop loss method at the first time, which was too rational.

Or it was not the choice that Azier would make.

Li found that she was still worried.

She jumped off the roof silently, turned into a red fox, and followed Momora.

It is true that she did say that she would not show up, but that does not mean that she would not listen in.

——Yes, it was listening in, not eavesdropping.

Who let the fox demon have sharp ears?
