Chapter 611 Ludwig II
Times are progressing, and people are also progressing.
Since the management announced the company's decision, the workers involved in the strike have been talking about it in twos and threes.
An ordinary-looking young man sneered: "It's this one again, don't they know how to change it?"
Obviously, the young man was still afraid and did not dare to call him by his first name. There is a boss's eye among the workers, and everyone knows it clearly. Some people have been fired for complaining in private before.
But today is different from the past. If you are fired, you will be fired. The big deal is to change to work in a factory. If you really can't find a job, you can go to the colony. Anyway, you will not starve to death.
There is one more road, and everyone has a lot of confidence. If the treatment at the Dakeer textile factory is good, it is estimated that everyone will be reluctant to lose their jobs.
It's a pity that maybe the Dakor textile mill was treated well ten years ago, but it's definitely not now.
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 punching and kicking are common.
Lan Nuo and his son have built up their prestige 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 spread out, there was still the possibility of retaliation.
Ordinary workers are no match for capitalists. A few years ago, some people had accidents because they spoke ill of their bosses.
It was said to be an accident to the outside world, but in fact, everyone in the know knew that it was arranged by someone to create an accident to kill the unfortunate one and kill the chickens to show the monkeys.
Accidents, simply can not find the boss. The worker who caused the accident took the initiative to take full responsibility, the factory paid a pension, and the matter was over.
For a time, everyone was in danger, and everyone knew that there was a boss around him. Unless it was a relative or friend, the rest would distrust each other.
In recent years, the Kingdom of Lombardy has begun to rectify the chaos in factories. In factories that often have accidents, safety audits are difficult to pass, and Lan Nuo and his son have calmed down.
I don't dare to cause an accident, but it is a common thing to deliberately make things difficult for me at work, or to be fired.
A young man about fifteen or sixteen years old next to him: "Don't worry, Uncle Rolls. Lake will be fine. With such a big thing happening, who can care about such a trivial matter!"
This is a fact. There are more than 100,000 people on strike, and many people are complaining. If you want to take revenge, you must also consider whether everyone will be in danger.
Now the management is still worrying about how to get everyone back to work. When it comes to making small reports, let's stand aside first!
...
In the company's conference room, it is now gloomy and gloomy. The layoff method, which has always been regarded as a treasure by Dakoll-Lano, suddenly doesn't work.
Usually at this time, it usually lasts for two or three days. Driven by the bribed spies, the workers will soon make a compromise.
This time is different. It's the fifth day, and less than one-tenth of the people have returned to work. The remaining workers seem to prefer to be laid off than to compromise, which is embarrassing.
Fire the rest of the workers, just think about it. Every day the factory is shut down, the economic loss is not a small sum.
If everyone is fired, there will be no substitutes in a short period of time, and the Dakeer Textile Factory may not be able to restore production capacity for two or three years.
For so long, competitors have taken their market away. Lao Lan Nuo's face was gloomy and terrifying. Not being able to get the workers back to work in time was also a blow to his prestige.
The rapid development and growth of the Dakeer textile factory is naturally not something that the Dakeer family can do alone. During this period, there are many collaborators involved.
Especially after the listing, the board of directors also restricted the power of old Lan Nuo to a certain extent. Although he still dominates the business, criticism has grown as the development of Dakor's textile factory has been in trouble.
Many people think that Lao Lanuo is old and has no ability to continue to lead the Dakor Textile Factory. Now this incident has occurred, which makes the situation even more unfavorable.
The fragrant coffee on the table could not arouse old Lan Nuo's interest at all. To "compromise" or not to "compromise", that's a vexing question.
The shutdown of the factory brings far more than the superficial effects, more of which is the impact on the corporate brand and the impact on the market share.
The Dakeer Textile Factory is also a golden sign. Once the news of the strike spreads, it will inevitably impact the brand's gold content, thereby affecting the sales market.
A middle-aged man in Chinese clothes: "Mr. Lan Nuo, it's already the fifth day. If the strike doesn't end, we won't be able to hold back the media.
With the influence of the Dakor Textile Factory, we have not been able to block all the newspapers in the world. There has been rumors that the reporters are already on their way. "
Big companies and newspapers are always inextricably linked, and capitalists have long since learned how to use capital to influence public opinion.
Unfortunately, there are too many newspapers to buy. As long as one family poked the news out, the lid was lifted.
When the news of the strike spread, the stock market was the first to suffer, which meant that the wealth of everyone present would be greatly reduced.
In fact, if it weren't for the strict management of the Vienna Securities Regulatory Authority, there would be people on the board who sold shares.
In recent years, the development of Dakoer Textile Factory has not been smooth, and it is no longer a good investment project. Now that this incident has happened again, cashing out while the stock price is still good is also an inconvenience.
wrong choice.
It is a pity that the Austrian government strictly prohibits insider trading. Even if you want to cash out, you must disclose the information.
Dakor Textile Factory is listed in Vienna, and naturally it is subject to the supervision of the Austrian government. It is not impossible to conceal information, but if it is found out, the income will be confiscated.
This "income" is the total income from the transaction. Franz believes that "illegal income" and "legitimate income" are too difficult to distinguish. In order not to trouble law enforcement officers, they simply confiscated them together.
Strictly deal with criminals, just to warn latecomers not to try the law.
In order to pay less tax, some people have privately traded stocks with others, deliberately reducing the contract amount.
After being caught, because he could not distinguish the illegal profit from this transaction and the previous wealth, he was directly confiscated all his family property.
Everyone has a big family and a big business. The era of bare feet has passed, and they finally landed on the shore. Naturally, they are not willing to take the risk of getting on the net.
Old Lan Nuo nodded, indicating that he knew. This is to be expected. Hundreds of thousands of people are on strike, and it is impossible to keep it a secret.
In addition to not being published in the newspapers, this is already an open secret of the city of Milan, and perhaps the entire Lombard kingdom knows it.
"At the newspaper office, continue to do a good job in public relations, we need time.
If you make concessions now, it will undoubtedly encourage the arrogance of the white-eyed wolves, and the factories in the future will not be able to manage normally.
Today they succeeded in asking for a wage increase, tomorrow they will ask for better meals, and the day after tomorrow they will ask for shorter working hours and more vacations...
What we pay is indeed low, but not the least. Now that the market accepts the price, it justifies the price.
They can increase their wages if they want, but they must wait for the business performance to improve. Enterprises are no longer making money, so what are they going to get paid for?
Little Lanno, send people to do ideological work for the workers. Tell them that the factory has encountered difficulties now, and as long as the current stage is passed, I will give them a salary increase later. "
Old Lan Nuo has already realized the crisis. Although the treatment of Dakeer Textile Factory is not the lowest, it is almost at the bottom.
It's not that he didn't think about improving the treatment of workers, but the benefits of the Dakeer Textile Factory continued to decline, and if labor costs were increased, the profits of the company would further decline.
A bad performance report will undoubtedly affect the stock market, and the board of directors alone is not easy to pass.
The most important thing is that Lao Lan Nuo is the largest shareholder of Dakeer Textile Factory, and the profit of the company has declined, and his loss is also the largest.
For a large company, it is very abnormal to even increase the wages of workers.
Little Lanno sees it better than his father, and he knows that it is imperative to increase wages. For no other reason than the fact that workers are no longer able to support their families.
Austria has developed rapidly in recent years, adding a large number of jobs every year. Not long ago, the Vienna government announced a large immigration plan.
The combination of these factors will inevitably affect the supply and demand relationship in the labor market. From his own standpoint, Xiao Lannuo is naturally opposed to large-scale immigration, which will increase domestic labor costs.
It is a pity that the arm can't bend the thigh. No matter how opposed the capitalists are, it will not affect the decision-making of the Vienna government.
What's more, not all capitalists are against it, and there are also many supporters. For some capitalists, this is also an opportunity.
As labor costs rise, companies that rest on their laurels will surely be gradually eliminated from the market, while companies that are brave enough to innovate can go further.
On the one hand, the number of competitors has decreased, and on the other hand, the purchasing power of the market has increased.
After the wages of workers increase, they also need to consume. With the increase of hot money in the market, it is easier for everyone to make money. After a circle in the market, it will eventually return to the hands of capitalists.
This is a virtuous economic cycle. It does not mean that the increase in labor costs will inevitably reduce everyone's profits.
...
The telegraph was a good thing, speeding up the spread of news. By the time Little Lan Nuo took action, it was too late.
As soon as he entered the workers' area, Xiao Lan Nuo 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, Xiao Lan Nuo wanted to cry without tears.
Of course he has "views", but there is no way to say it!
Isn't it a joke to "suppress strikes", you are all here, who dares to suppress strikes?
Moreover, they alone do not have the strength to suppress strikes. Hundreds of thousands of people, even if they are all rabble, once they make trouble, it will be earth-shattering.
Now workers are on strike legally, just staying at home to rest or hanging out. Whoever dares to intensify the conflict will be prepared to be used by the Lombard government as a sacrificial flag.
Bought newspapers and covered up news. It seemed that they did a good job, but they ignored the feelings of the person in the palace.
Who in power would like to see an uncontrolled existence under their rule?
Ludwig II is no exception. On the bright side, the king can't care about them, but it doesn't mean that he can't wear small shoes.
There are so many reporters now, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for these reporters from newspaper offices all over the country to arrive at the same time, unless someone is behind the scenes.
The Dakeer textile factory is not small, and it has already established a local
Solid interest groups, ordinary people simply can not afford to offend.
Strikes are the common enemy of capitalists, and even competitors will not support the labor movement at this time because strikes are contagious.
Once the workers of the Dakeer Textile Factory succeed in fighting for their rights, it will also spread to other surrounding factories. Whoever lifts the lid will become the public enemy of the capitalists.
However, this does not include the Lombard royal family. To put it bluntly, the bourgeoisie is a mess of sand, which is essentially bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and everyone who can't afford it will still decisively not see it.
Little Lan Nuo didn't know who was targeting them, but he knew that the "Darker Textile Factory" was in big trouble this time. Once the news is out, workers are less likely to compromise.
Originally, it was planned to let the management talk to the workers alone and coerce and lure them, but now it can't be done.
Otherwise, if he encounters someone with hard bones and stabs the news to the reporter, he will not be able to eat and walk around.
