Luxembourg Iron and Steel Association, Conference Hall.

The long round table is flanked by high-backed leather chairs with a solemn feel, and the first wall is hung with a Luxembourg temperament and the coat of arms of the Iron and Steel Association.

The Iron and Steel Association is composed of representatives from 36 major steel companies, and the meeting was presided over by the second president, the eldest son of the Grand Duke, Jean.

"I think you are already very clear about the content of today's meeting, so whoever has any questions below can ask them, and Marquis Li will answer your questions. ”

After everyone took their seats, after speaking, Jean smiled at Li Zitao, who was facing his left hand, and signaled that he could speak.

"It's an honor to be here at this conference, and it's even more honorable for me to see the future of the steel industry here.

We believe that our cooperation will make the Luxembourg steel industry achieve more brilliant achievements in the world."

While Li Zitao was impromptuing a speech, the team led by Rush and Sanirle was sitting against the wall, quickly recording and communicating.

The identity, personality, characteristics, development of the steel company behind him, future potential, etc., are recorded in detail under a piece of paper.

With the expansion of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hawkeye's power is now under the joint control of the Think Tank and S.H.I.E.L.D.

The two sides have a tacit understanding of non-interference with each other, although they are collectively referred to as Eagle Eye, but the departments responsible for the two sides are different.

The business investigation is more lax, and the evaluation of personnel is not strict, while the other part seeps into the eagle's eye.

No one knows that there is another layer of mysterious identity around them, or the co-workers with whom they drink and fart every day, spend their days in casinos or strip clubs.

And they will not take the initiative to mention that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s high salary and insurance protection, as well as the existence of pensions, provide a peace of mind for these people who are in danger at all times.

The treatment enjoyed by those families who have died, disabled, or retired as a result of missions under the arrangement of S.H.I.E.L.D. makes this guarantee even more real.

This information comes from S.H.I.E.L.D., and the think tank's Hawkeye is only responsible for normal business investigations.

They don't have the ability to get their hands on such detailed information.

"Your Excellency, the Association is very worried about the possible monopoly situation after the merger, what do you think about this?"

After the nourishing greetings and temptations were over, the following was the real bayonet, and the sharp questions quieted the venue.

"I can't guarantee you that. As soon as Li Zitao's words fell, the whispering conversation made the venue sound of 'buzzing'.

Knock, knock.

Tapping his fingers on the table, after turning everyone's attraction back to himself, Li Zitao said again: "If you want to be respected, you must show enough strength to make people respect, jealous, and even afraid,

The assurance you want, I could name an infinite number of versions in 1 minute, but what's the point, besides, after the merger of the two groups,

Albert's shareholder representatives and Luxembourg are still dominant, are you afraid that the Grand Duke will be unfavorable to you?"

In addition to the labor representatives, all the shareholders of Albert have already arrived.

But now they represent the Luxembourg steel industry, the people, the capital, not just Albert's shares.

Wait until the afternoon meeting to change their status to shareholders.

One is for the public, the other is for the private, that's how to fuck up.

"Of course not, we are here because of trust and respect for the Grand Duke. A representative stood up and said.

"Look, the problem is solved, I'm just a minority shareholder, I want to open the European market, strengthen the circulation of international steel, you want to open the North American market,

Our intentions are all good, to break the shackles of certain interest groups on the steel industry, so that everyone can get more benefits, what makes you have so many concerns?"

"Your Excellency, what do you think about the wages of the laborers?" asked a labor representative, as he sat down.

"If you follow my company, you will know that I am a very generous person, and I hate those misers, who are like greedy jackals, who never know how to be satisfied, who do not know how to return, who turn a blind eye to the efforts of workers. ”

"So, can I understand that if the group merges, the wages of the workers will rise significantly?"

"This is an issue that needs to be discussed together, and it is not something I can decide alone, but I believe that after the new group is formed, the wages of workers will increase to a certain extent. ”

Seeing the impassive appearance of the representatives of the management, Li Zitao thought to himself, "These guys must have scolded me in their hearts for being an idiot." ’

In the end, the meeting ended under the chairmanship of Jean, and the initial intention of the two parties was to agree to initiate a merger, and the labor side hoped to see a change in wages and benefits.

"Is the treatment here bad?" asked Li Zitao on the way to the next meeting, eating a light meal in the car.

"The guild leader in America, John Lewis, made the miners greedy, but luckily I didn't have to face him directly. Jean said with a bitter face.

He was glad that if there was a 'leader' like that in Luxembourg, it would be a disaster for them who were developing.

Li Zitao suddenly realized that Lewis had recently been a page leader in the United States, and he also appeared on the cover of Time magazine.

With a burly figure, a wide chin, a loud voice like a trumpet, he is always unscrupulous and aggressive when he speaks, and his personality is even more daring.

After becoming president of the United Coal Miners' Union in 1921, he began a series of major moves to unite the workers' unions across the country.

Now, the Federation of Labor is frightened by his actions, and if Lewis is allowed to continue, the Federation will be completely hollowed out.

"That's an energetic barbarian. Thinking of his face like a 'bully dog', Li Zitao couldn't help but want to laugh.

"You're going to put vulgarity in front of it. It was evident that Jean hated the workers' leader.

Because the only way for him to fight for the rights of the workers was to hold a reckless general strike, Jean was once again grateful that he was not present in Luxembourg.

The issue of workers' salaries, if the merger goes well, he will do as promised.

But it's not easy to get his money, such as matching his salary according to shares.

If you want to get a salary, what should you be here, the Welfare and Security Bureau?

As I thought about it, the carriage had stopped on the side of the road, and the two-storey medieval castle was the location of the branch of the European Steel Union.

Looking at the majestic castle, the elaborate layout in the castle, and the magnificent costumes, Li Zitao said in his heart, "The guild here is really luxurious." ”
