Heidler wanted to meet this boy named Dulin for two reasons.
The first reason is that his current position is very sensitive and embarrassing. In the eyes of the Ogdin people, the Guarts are a "conquered race". For the Ogdin people, who have a strong sense of superiority, the Guarts are They are "lower people", unpopular losers. Now a loser can actually become one of the thirty-six members of the Chamber of Commerce, which is intolerable to many people.
If Handler hadn't been cautious and avoided exposing his flaws as much as possible, he might have been voted out of office.
Therefore, he needs a force, a force that can support him until others have to hold their noses and admit it even if they have opinions about him. He has been hesitating about this power for a long time, that is the power of the dispersed Guart people. Once the Guarts are united, with his guidance and command, for the sake of the stability of the empire, both the official and the Chamber of Commerce must take care of him as the "leader" among the Guarts.
Only in this way can he continue to grow his strength.
The second reason is actually a continuation of the first reason. Handler needs someone to help him, not commercial help, but to do something for him that cannot be seen in the light.
There is a saying circulating in capitalist circles, "When you are kind, you will face countless demons." This sentence does not seem to have much of a problem, but the other core points are about the attitude of capitalists and being exploited. attitude among them. The former cement tycoon Doverke was very good to the workers. In addition to giving them higher wages than workers in other industries, he also provided some welfare benefits and always got along with the workers.
Later, Doverke encountered business obstruction. His opponents joined together to form a new company and launched a head-on and cruel business competition with him. The other party used lower labor costs to produce lower-priced cement that tore through Doverke's market defense line. In order to protect itself, Doverke had to reduce the treatment and welfare of workers to face the malicious prices. The pain of bidding.
Just when both sides suffered heavy losses and were ready to give up, Doverke's workers went on strike.
The reason is simple. They demand a return to the previous high wages and benefits, and refuse to pay for brutal business competition. In less than a month, Doverke Cement Company, which once had a market share of more than 65%, stopped production due to labor problems, the market was engulfed, and the former cement king declared bankruptcy. The huge market and the remaining assets were immediately swallowed up by the crocodiles in the capital market. Mr. Doverk, who once had unlimited glory, jumped off the top floor of the Empire State Building, leaving behind a dark puddle in his splendid life. Bloodstains.
This is not a problem that Doverke needs to face alone, it is a problem that almost all capitalists need to face. With the support and control of workers' unions, workers already have the capital to oppose and fight against capitalists. Once a workers' union believes that a capitalist has harmed the interests of worker members, it will launch resistance actions such as demonstrations and strikes. If the situation worsens, they will also ban workers' union members from working in their company's factories, putting a company in an instant. into a state where no one is available.
So are workers' unions really able to talk to capitalists on the same level
Actually not, because the capitalists have money and people.
Needless to say, money, the people here refer to those forces that are not very visible, they can be said to be gang members, or they can be said to be idle vagrants who lack jobs in society. They will use the threat and coercion of force to prevent strike demonstrations from happening, and even threaten certain leaders in the workers' union with death to force them to compromise. Of course, in fact, the most common method is to buy it with money.
Heidler doesn't have many people he can use. He is being watched by the Ogdin people. If he uses his men to do these things, he will inevitably be watched, so he desperately hopes that someone can be the sharpest in his hands. The knife helps him accomplish these things that he can think about but cannot do.
The hometown association is a good opportunity. He has money and doesn't care about spending money. As long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter how much money he spends.
Therefore, Heidler very much hopes to meet with Du Lin as soon as possible to support the development of the hometown association, and it must be as soon as possible.
The establishment of the hometown association did not attract anyone's attention. Even if Heidler and Dulin met, it would not cause any trouble. But if the hometown association develops well and attracts the attention of some forces, then when he meets Du Lin again, some people will begin to speculate and doubt his purpose.
So early the next morning, as soon as Du Lin came out of the workhouse, he saw two guys in suits.
"Someone wants to see you, come with us." One of them looked gentle, with short hair, gold-rimmed eyes, and a well-dressed suit that gave him the air of a successful person. Although he looked at Du Lin with a gentle smile, the contempt and disdain hidden in his eyes were still discovered by the sensitive Du Lin. He was a guy who had had a dream for decades. In the dream, such a person I have seen countless people.
But Du Lin wisely did not show it. The clothes and accessories on the other party were already more than all his savings combined. In this society where capital is king, money is the criterion for measuring a person's success and strength. . He doesn't yet have this standard, and he has never offended such a person, so he thinks he is safe. But he still asked Graf to come with him, and the two of them got into the new Xinma car with a roof produced last year.
The space inside the car is not small. With the curtains drawn, the car and the outside world become two different worlds. The guy who looked very gentle always had a fake smile on his face. He pursed his lips and said, "My name is Lamas. This time I comply with Mr. Heidler's request and take you to see him. Before meeting Mr. Heidler, I need to remind you of a few things." He glanced at the silent Dulin and the excited Graf and smiled. Unconsciously shook his head, "When you speak without Mr. Heidler's permission, don't look him in the eyes. Don't yell, don't use vulgar language, and don't use curse words or the slang you use on the streets when you speak. "
"Before you speak, you should consider whether what you say is appropriate and whether it can clearly express what you are thinking. Try to pronounce your words as clearly as possible. Do not add body language, and try to maintain your dignity as much as possible."
Du Lin looked the same as before, but inexplicably there was a fire raging deep in his heart. He looked at Mr. Lamas with the same false smile and nodded.
Lamas smiled with satisfaction, but he didn't know that he had offended Du Lin, and they had become enemies, and they were mortal enemies.
Every word he said was a humiliation to him, a denial of everything he had, and a malicious slander against him. Rasma is trampling on his self-esteem, his personality, and his dignity. His lofty eyes, like looking at a hot chicken, stung Du Lin's self-esteem and personality. Du Lin swore that if there was a chance, no! Yes, he must take revenge.
but not now.
Compared with the anger and humiliation that arose in the deep heart of Du Lin, Graf, the fool, listened very seriously and kept nodding with excitement on his face.
In Graf's previous case, it was Mr. Handler's intervention that prevented him from going to jail. He was very grateful to this big man he had never met before, and even felt that this big man was the guardian of all Guarts. Otherwise, how could such a high-ranking man help a little man like him who he had never met before
In silence, the Jinma car slowly stopped outside a manor on the outskirts of Turnel City. After getting out of the car, Mr. Rasma opened the door and asked them to get out. He pointed to the door and said, "Someone will take you to see them." Mr. Heidler, I have other things to do, so I’ll take my leave.”
After the two walked a few steps, Dulin suddenly stopped. He looked back and happened to see Mr. Lamas using a handkerchief to wipe the place where they had done it, and then threw the handkerchief on the ground.
Du Lin turned around, took a deep breath, and suppressed the inexplicable anger and humiliation in his heart. He didn't know that this was what he had experienced in his dream, which was quietly transforming his outlook and personality.
"What's wrong?" Graf nudged Dulin with his elbow and said with concern: "You don't look good. Did you sleep too late yesterday? God, we are going to see Mr. Heidler soon. Yeah, you have to adjust yourself."
Du Lin couldn't help but mocked: "So you have to treat yourself like a stray dog and curl up your tail?" As soon as he said this, he knew he shouldn't say it.
Graf was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "When you meet Mr. Heidler, you will know what kind of person he is."
There is a saying that people who disagree can work together. Dulin just looked at Graf and did not refute. He took a deep breath, straightened his spine, and walked into the manor with his head held high like a victorious general.
Looking at the beautiful gardening and the well-dressed gardeners carefully pruning the green branches and leaves, his heart drifted to a far away place.
No one can trample on my dignity and force me to smile at him!
nobody!
