Holy Roman Empire
Chapter 611 Ludwig II
Times are progressing, and so are people.
Dakool Textile Mills, since the management announced the company's decision, the workers who participated in the strike have discussed them in twos and threes.
An ordinary-looking young man sneered: "This is the same set, don't they know to change something else?"
Obviously, young men are still afraid of it, so they dare not call them by their names.There is a boss's eye line among the workers, everyone is clear, and some people were expelled because of private complaints.
However, this is not the same as in the past. If you are fired, you will be fired. If you ca n’t find a job, you can go to the colony.
With one more path, everyone has a lot of confidence.If the Dakol textile mill is well paid, it is estimated that everyone will not lose their jobs.
It is a pity that perhaps the Dakool textile factory ten years ago can be said to be doing well, but it is definitely not.
A middle-aged man next to him glared fiercely: "Shut up, Lake!"
It can be seen that the middle-aged man is full of worry.Factory management is not harmonious in this era, punching and kicking are common things.
Lanno and his son have accumulated power for a long time, and have zero tolerance for anything that challenges their majesty.
Although Lake's words were not named directly, they might still be retaliated against once they were spread.
Ordinary workers are no match for capitalists. In the past few years, some people had accidents because they said bad things about their boss.
Externally speaking, it was an accident. In fact, people familiar with the situation knew that it was arranged by someone. The accident was killed by man-made accidents, and the monkeys were killed.
Accidents can't find the boss at all.The worker who caused the accident took the initiative to take full responsibility, the factory paid a pension, and the matter passed.
Everyone felt self-defeating for a while. Everyone knew that there was a boss eyeline around them. Unless they were relatives and friends, the rest distrusted each other.
In recent years, the Kingdom of Lombardy has begun to rectify factory chaos. In factories where accidents often occur, safety audits cannot pass, and Lanno and his son have converged.
Don't dare to make accidents, but deliberately making things difficult or expelling them at work is also a common thing.
A young man, about fifteen or sixteen, next to him: "Don't worry, Uncle Laws. Lake will be fine. With such a big thing happening, who can take care of this little thing!"
This is a fact. Now that more than 100,000 people are on strike, many complainers have gone. If you want to fight revenge, you must also consider whether everyone is in danger.
Now the management is still worrying about how to get everyone back to work and do small reports, stand by!
...
In the company's conference room, it's dismal now.The layoffs that have always been regarded as the greatest treasures by Dakran-Lanno suddenly didn't work.
Usually at this time, usually insisting on two or three days, driven by the buying spy, the workers will soon make a compromise.
This time it was different. It was the fifth day. Less than one-tenth of those who resumed work. The remaining workers seemed to prefer to be laid off rather than compromise. This was embarrassing.
Fire all the remaining workers, just think about it.Every day the factory shuts down, the economic losses brought by it are not a small amount.
If everyone is expelled, so many substitutes will not be found in a short period of time, and Dakal Textile Mill may not be able to restore production capacity for two or three years.
For such a long time, competitors have already snatched their market.Old Lanno's somber face was terrible, and he could not get the workers back to work in time, which was a blow to his prestige.
The Dakol textile mill can grow rapidly, naturally it cannot be done by the Dakol family alone. During this period, many collaborators participated.
Especially after the listing, the board of directors also restricted the power of old Lanno to a certain extent.Although he still dominates the business, as the development of the Dakal textile mill is in trouble, there has been more criticism.
Many people think that the old Llano is old and does not have the ability to continue to lead the Dakol textile mill. Now this matter has appeared again, making the situation even more unfavorable.
The scented coffee on the table didn't raise the interest of Old Lanno at all."Compromise" or not "compromise", this is a headache.
The shutdown of the factory brought much more than this on the surface, but also the impact on the corporate brand and the impact of market share.
Dacron Textile Factory is also a gold signboard. Once the news of the strike is spread, it will inevitably impact the gold content of the brand, thus affecting the sales market.
A middle-aged man in a Chinese suit: "Mr. Lanno, it is now the fifth day. If the strike does not end, we will be unable to hold back the media.
We have no ability to shield all newspapers around the world due to the influence of Dacron Textile Mill.Now that there has been some rumors, maybe the reporter is already on the way."
There are always inextricable links between large enterprises and newspapers. The use of capital to influence public opinion has long been a problem for capitalists.
It is a pity that there are too many newspapers and they cannot be bought at all.As soon as a family poke out the news, the cover is removed.
The news of the strike spread that the stock market was the first to suffer, which meant that the wealth of everyone present would be greatly reduced.
In fact, if the Vienna Securities Regulatory Bureau is not too strict, there are people on the board selling stocks.
In recent years, the development of Dacron Textile Mill has been very unsmooth, and it is no longer a good investment project.Now that this matter has happened again, it is also a good choice to take advantage of the good stock price.
Unfortunately, the Austrian government strictly prohibits insider trading. Even if you want to cash out, you have to make the information public.
The Ducker Textile Mill went public in Vienna, and naturally it was subject to the supervision of the Austrian government.It's not impossible to hide the news, but it will be confiscated if found.
This "income" is all the income from the transaction.Franz believes that "illegal income" and "legal income" are too difficult to distinguish. In order not to trouble law enforcement personnel, they are simply confiscated together.
Strictly deal with criminals, just warn the latecomers, do not try the law.
In order to pay less taxes, some people traded stocks with others in private and deliberately reduced the contract amount.
After being caught, because of the inability to distinguish the illegal profit of this transaction from the previous wealth, the entire property was directly confiscated.
Everyone is a big family, and they have passed the barefoot era. They finally landed on the shore. Naturally, they are not willing to take the risk.
Old Lanno nodded, signaling that he knew.This was expected. If hundreds of thousands of people went on strike, it would be impossible to keep secrets.
In addition to not being published in the newspaper, this is already an open secret in the city of Milan, perhaps the entire Kingdom of Lombardy knows it.
"We need time to continue to do a good job of public relations in the newspaper office.
Now if concessions are made, 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 demanded that the processing capital be successful, tomorrow they will ask for improved food, and the day after tomorrow they will also ask for shorter working hours and more holidays ...
The remuneration we pay is indeed low, but it is not the lowest.Since the market accepted the price, it proved that the price was reasonable.
They want to increase wages, but they must wait for the benefits of the enterprise to improve.Businesses are not making any money anymore, so they can get paid for anything.
Little Lanno, send people to do ideological work for the workers.Tell them that the factory is facing difficulties now, as long as it passes the current level, I will give them a salary increase later."
Old Lanno was aware of the crisis. Although the treatment of the Dacron textile mill was not the lowest, it was almost at the bottom.
It is not that he did not think about improving the treatment of workers, but that the benefits of the Dacron textile mill have continued to decline, and then the labor costs will increase, and the profits of the company will decline further.
Poor performance reports will undoubtedly affect the stock market.
The most important thing is that Lao Nuo is the largest shareholder of Dacron Textile Mill. The company's profits have fallen and his losses have also been the biggest.
It is very abnormal for a large company to look forward and backward even to increase labor wages.
Little Lanno knew better than his father. He knew that increasing wages was imperative.There is no other reason, mainly because the workers are no longer able to support their families.
Austria has developed rapidly in recent years, and a large number of new jobs are created every year. Not long ago, the Vienna government announced the big immigration plan.
These factors add up, and will inevitably affect the supply and demand relationship in the labor market.From his standpoint, Little Lanno naturally opposed large-scale immigration, which would increase domestic labor costs.
It is a pity that the arms are thighless, and no matter how the capitalists oppose it, it will not affect the decision of the Vienna government.
What's more, not all capitalists object, and there are also many supporters.For some capitalists, this is also an opportunity.
As labor costs rise, companies that stand still will surely be eliminated by the market, while companies that dare 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.
After the wages of workers increase, they also need to be consumed.The increase in hot money in the market makes it easier for everyone to make money. After a lap in the market, it will eventually return to the capitalists.
This is a virtuous economic cycle, not to say that the increase in labor costs will definitely reduce everyone's profits.
...
The telegraph is a good thing, which hastened the spread of news.By the time Lano took action, it was too late.
As soon as he entered the workers' area, 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 not far away, Lanran wanted to cry without tears.
He certainly has a "view", but there is no way to say it!
"Suppression of strikes" Is this a joke, you are all here, who dares to suppress strikes?
Moreover, on their own, they did not have the strength to suppress the strike.For hundreds of thousands of people, even if they are all in the crowd, once they get into trouble, it will be shocking.
Workers are now legally striking, just resting at home, or going out to sway.Whoever dares to intensify contradictions, is ready to be used by the Lombard government to sacrifice flags.
Buy the newspaper and cover up the news.It seems to be doing very well, but they ignore the feelings of the royal palace.
Which authority is willing to see an uncontrolled existence under the rule?
Ludwig II is no exception. The king on the bright side is not good at worrying about them.
The presence of so many journalists now is enough to illustrate many issues.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for these reporters from all over the country to arrive at the same time unless someone manipulates them behind the scenes.
Dakol Textile Mills is not small, and has established a strong interest group in the local area, and most people can't afford it.
Strikes are the common enemy of capitalists, and even competitors will not support the workers' movement at this time, because strikes are contagious.
Once the workers in the Dakota Textile Factory succeed in fighting for their rights and interests, it will also affect other factories in the surrounding area. Whoever lifts the lid will become the enemy of the capitalists.
However, it does not include the Lombard royal family. To put it bluntly, the bourgeoisie in vain is essentially bullying and fearing hard. Everyone who can't afford it will still decisively fail to see it.
Little Lanno did not know who was targeting them, but he knew that the "Darker Textile Mill" was in trouble this time.Once the news came out, the workers were less likely to compromise.
Originally prepared to let the management talk to the workers alone to coerce and lure, it can't do it now.
Otherwise, if you run into a hard bone and poke the news to the reporter, he won't be able to walk around.
