Dulin received a call from Heidler in the evening. He was surprised that his relationship with this old guy was not so familiar yet. Only friends and relatives would do this when calling others during non-working hours. They were chatting. After a few boring words, Handler asked a question.
"Have you had any disagreements with Buqiao these days?"
Just kidding, it's more than just a disagreement
The workers' union wants to step on the head of the city hall and raise a big flag in Otis City. How can Dulin allow them to do this? Furthermore, as Odis City will serve as the largest "entertainment capital" and logistics center in the central part of the empire in the future, there will definitely be a certain gap in employment. If the workers' union unites all workers, what business will there be in the city hall? He was unwilling to spend his limited time on the conflict between the workers' union and the capitalists, so he rejected Buqiao's unrealistic idea as soon as he came up.
Not to mention getting rid of the workers' unions, at the very least, we should make sure that migrant workers do not feel the effectiveness of the workers' unions in the city. Only in this way can the employers make the overall decision, and the city's development will reach its peak.
He laughed twice, "What? He's spreading it everywhere?"
Heidler also laughed twice in agreement, "That's not true, but I heard a piece of news that I don't know whether it's true or false. Bujo plans to use the workers' injuries to launch a wave of strikes. He plans to call all workers Come forward and join this strike.”
Du Lin's originally sleepy eyes suddenly became sharp. There is no doubt that if a strike occurs during this period of great development, it will have irreversible serious consequences for all aspects of the city. Not to mention that the construction period is delayed, once Bujo and the working class get benefits from the strike, they will most likely intensify their efforts to threaten the city hall and the employer to compromise with them.
Every strike of a class nature will be followed by a wave of wage increases. This is a compromise that capitalists have to make to workers' unions and the working class if they want to continue working. Regardless of whether this is really useful, as long as someone offers a salary increase in exchange for workers returning to their jobs, the entire city's labor costs will skyrocket.
If a worker wants to get a dollar increase, then tens of thousands of workers will have to spend tens of thousands more dollars every month. When people come to invest in Otis City, they will suffer losses, and they will also feel the "inaction" of the city hall. to disappointment.
This Buqiao is very smart, or this is the method that the workers' union has always used.
History has proven countless times that the simpler the method, the more likely it is to reap sufficient rewards. Conspiracy is far from a conspiracy, as long as it is defeated, there will be no remaining problems. The trouble with Yang Muse is that you have to choose between head-on confrontation or compromise.
"This news is very important. After my consideration, I can reduce the area of the land you applied for last time and approve it for you, but the usage rights are still for thirty years." Du Lin is still very clear about reciprocating kindness, Haide Le has shown his goodwill, so always give him a little sweetness, and this news is very important.
The two exchanged a few more useless words before hanging up the phone. Dulin took a few steps back and forth, thinking about how to solve the possible general strike.
He called Natalie over. According to Natalie's position in Dulin's dream world, she should be the director of the mayor's office. She mainly manages everything related to the mayor's work, without specific content. Here she is a liaison officer, responsible for uploading and distributing information, but in fact she is responsible for more things than her job description requires.
Natalie, who had taken a shower and prepared to go to bed after dinner, received a call from Dulin, and her heart pounded when she heard his request. There is a saying that is actually quite good. If you have never been hurt, you don’t know what it means to be a scumbag. She used to have the courage to face rumors and rumors. She thought that her love could withstand this kind of examination, but she was obviously wrong, and very wrong.
The man she once loved deeply abandoned her because of things that never happened. He even publicized "everything" she had done after abandoning her. He abandoned her because of these unbearable things.
It hurts deeply!
That's why we can appreciate the contrast in the moment when Du Lin pulled her away when facing those surging "mobs".
People are always emotional, especially when they need a kind of faith, they will be even more emotional. She immediately agreed to Du Lin's "invitation", put on a simple make-up, put on a short skirt and a white shirt that she rarely wears now, silently shouted "Come on" to herself in the mirror, and held up the Bao left the house.
Natalie lives in a house less than 200 meters away from the city hall. Most people in the city hall live relatively close. There were no places for entertainment in this city before. Even if there were two bars, the people in them were old men in their fifties and sixties, drinking fruit wine with a sour taste that they brewed themselves.
So for them, time becomes very special in this city, and getting off work means the end of the day. When I get home, I will read the expired newspapers out of boredom, or take a hot bath and then go to bed.
Natalie came very quickly, but she didn't meet what she expected. Instead, Dulin urged her to bring the situation of all the construction sites in Otis City. He needed to see it at night.
Every construction site in Otis City will have a plan, which Dulin asked them to do. In addition to making it easier for Dulin to know everything that happens in the city, it can also be regarded as a record.
Natalie was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to the archives room to get the information. So far, there are 73 construction projects in Otis City, and about 90,000 workers from other places and locals are working overtime. Those who add a little bit will contribute to these projects. Du Lin sighed heavily after reading it. He considered killing Buqiao to make his plan abort, but then he thought about it and felt that this would not work.
In the past, he was just a businessman, so it was understandable that he would do something beyond the limits. But now he is an official, and the biggest competitors he will face in the future are also officials. He can't just kill this guy if he thinks he's always against him, and kill him if he doesn't deal with him. What if the person who opposes him is a high-level person from the old and new parties? Is he going to send someone to kill Maggs or the leader of the old party
Therefore, when you need to use positive means, you cannot use negative means.
Natalie, who was standing aside feeling a little depressed, slowly walked into Du Lin's side. What surprised her was that Du Lin came to her not to talk about life and ideals, but to ask her to open the archives and find the contents inside. material. Now that we're all here, we can't just stand aside and do nothing? She glanced at the documents on the table that she had reviewed and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Dulin nodded solemnly, "Buqiao...it's the head of the workers' union who plans to launch a strike. There are nearly one hundred thousand workers in Otis City in total. Once these people's strike force suppresses everything, it is very likely that It may trigger a chain reaction!”
If this strike is very powerful, it is very likely to spread to nearby cities, so Dulin's head hurts a little. If it doesn't work, he can only kill the guy, although he doesn't want to do this, he wants to use "fairness" to destroy the opponent's strategy.
"Why don't you talk to the workers?" Natalie asked curiously: "Those workers have their own foremans. We can't communicate with all the workers, but we can communicate with the foremans. I think this shouldn't be too difficult. After all, they work to make money.”
Just when Du Lin thought this idea was a bit naive, he suddenly stopped moving. It wasn't that Natalie provided him with a solution, but that it made him think of another solution. The so-called strike is nothing more than threatening the city hall and employers by not working. As long as this problem does not exist, the strike will become meaningless.
But what if they are not workers
Dulin waved his fist, immediately picked up the phone and dialed Sophia's number.
At this time, Sophia was preparing to rest. As people get older, the desire to go to bed always comes earlier. If Du Lin hadn't called her, she might have fallen asleep in ten minutes.
"I'm Sophia..."
"Dulin, I have something I need you to do now." Dulin did not say any greetings. After revealing his identity, he gave Sophia a task. "Immediately ask other people if they have any compatriots who are willing to go out to work." , here in Otis City, I work ten hours a day, fifteen minutes an hour, and I will receive an additional three yuan per month. Please give me the news as soon as possible, please hurry!"
Since the workers' union wants to pull out all the stops and launch a massive strike, then it will satisfy them. Dulin has no good impressions of workers who are willing to stand up with the workers' union to suspend the strike. There is a way to negotiate for everything, but actions like strikes have already harmed everyone's interests, so let them harm them more thoroughly and harm their own interests as well.
This method can also solve the problem of many compatriots who are unemployed or facing exploitation. Even if all the workers go on strike and 100,000 compatriots come, Dulin will only subsidize 300,000 yuan a month. Now he doesn't pay attention to this money at all, and this is a war that must be won.
The loser will lose all initiative and dignity, he must win.
After hanging up the phone, Dulin thought about it, and the whole thing began to flow through his mind one by one, so much so that he didn't even notice Natalie's hands gently pressing his head. After a moment, he opened his eyes and glanced at Natalie with some surprise. Then he picked up the phone and called Colonel Thomas. As soon as he picked up the phone, Dulin asked: "Mr. Thomas, the Imperial City is on alert." Do you have any acquaintances in the army in the district?"
Since Buqiao plans to play a big game, Dulin doesn't mind making this game even bigger!
