When Martin was thinking about a small calculation, Davidson began to complain: "Mr. Ralston, to be honest, it is not impossible to talk about salary, but you also know that the product produced by our company is a new thing, and it has not yet been listed, whether it can be sold in the future, and whether it can sell well after it is sold, this is a matter of no certainty." ”

"It's fine if you can sell it, but if you can't sell it, and you raise your salary, the company will go bankrupt in minutes. At that point, these workers will be unemployed again. ”

"So, about the salary, do you wait until the product goes on sale and see how it sells. I promise here that if the sales are good, I will definitely propose a salary increase to the company. ”

"No!" Davidson's kind words were exhausted, and when Markey and the two were a little moved, Martin was still unmoved, and said firmly: "If you say no, you can't do it, Mr. Davidson, you don't have to confuse us here." ”

"I know your product, and I've played with it, and although it's just a toy, I have to say that it has a mesmerizing ability. It's going to sell well, or you wouldn't have invested so much in advertising. ”

When Martin mentioned that he had played with the Rubik's Cube, Carl's eyes snapped open, as if a flash of light flashed in it, and he quickly lowered his head to hide it, so Martin failed to detect this anomaly.

Seeing that Martin still didn't agree, Davidson could only take a step back, "Okay, Martin, I've convinced you, I can agree to the salary increase, but you need to make a written guarantee." ”

"Guarantee what?"

"After this salary increase, the union will not be allowed to organize another strike for a certain period of time. ”

"Yes, just be clear about the timing?"

"Three years?"

"No, a year at most!"

After a period of back and forth, the time was set at a year and a half.

"Very well, Martin, now that it's decided, let's sign the agreement. ”

Davidson took the draft agreement from the young man who was acting as the secretary, signed it himself, and handed it to Martin along with his pen.

Martin took a closer look and confirmed that there were no traps before signing his name on it.

"Very well, Martin, things worked out perfectly, let's not have a drink and celebrate. ”

I don't know when, the "secretary" came to Martin with six glasses of champagne.

Martin couldn't shirk it, so he took a cup from it, and the other two followed suit.

After getting the wine, at Davidson's suggestion, the six of them clinked glasses. Although Carl's face was dark, they still clinked glasses together. But then he slammed the door and left.

After a glass of wine, fill it with another glass.

Martin was very excited, and Davidson suddenly patted his head and said, "By the way, we already have results here, do we have to go out and talk to the workers waiting outside?"

He looked at Markey and McClure, "Which of you is going?"

Markey and McClure looked at each other and said, "I'll go!"

Martin waved his hand at this time and said, "You guys go together, it's more convincing!"

After the two men left, Davidson poured Martin a full bottle of wine with a smile on his face, pulled over a chair, and sat down across from him.

There were only four people left in the room, and two of them had no presence

"Martin, you said you were a lawyer, what law firm did you go up to?" Davidson asked casually.

Martin said, "There is no law firm, only one wolf!"

"Then you're so good - you single-handedly organized a union!" Davidson first complimented, and then changed his words: "You can make a lot of money after this vote...... When will you publicly announce your candidacy for the city council election?"

"Well, what are you talking about...... Martin subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he heard Davidson continue with a smile: "What are you anxious about, there is no one else here." ”

"Martin, before us, you don't have to deny that your name is on the North Sacramento Board of Elections book. ”

Martin looked at Davidson, who was smiling, and suddenly felt a chill for no reason.

"Speaking of which, you are really bold enough to take our company and these more than 800 workers as your promotion rank. Davidson said with admiration: "If you don't get it right, you're fine, and these workers will lose their jobs." ”

Martin Qiang smiled: "How is it possible? Workers go on strike, and the company can only compromise in order to survive, this is the law of society." ”

Davidson shook his head and said, "It's just a social law, but it's not an absolute truth." ”

"Strikes are not a panacea, and compromise is only the majority, not all!"

"Martin, let's put it this way, you organized the workers' strike, saying it was for their good, but did you know that this factory is ...... Uh, our real boss is dispensable, like a used rag that can be discarded at any time. ”

"At that point, he's only $250,000 for him, and for the workers who support you, he's going to lose a job to support their families. ”

Martin fell silent: "How is that possible?"

Davidson said: "How is it impossible! You use the workers and the company as stepping stones, and the workers do not know the truth and think that they are beneficial, so they will naturally let you take advantage of them, but the boss will not be happy to be the boss of this wrong." His temper is that he would rather let your money go down the drain. The law doesn't allow companies to fire workers in the name of strikes, but it doesn't allow companies to go bankrupt!"

Martin argued loudly: "Workers are used as stepping stones, there is no such thing!"

Davidson said meaningfully, "I don't believe it!"

"Look at the banners you are waging in organizing workers' strikes. Salary increase starts at $95 a week, overtime is counted, you go and ask, which factory can give this figure. Labor protection supplies? Ask them what they wear on their hands and mouths when they go to work? Nutrition of boxed lunches? Which factory have you seen where the boxed lunches are specially ordered from the hotel?"

"'We want to live, we want a raise!' sounds great, but it almost becomes 'We want to work, we want to live.'" ”

Davidson wanted to say more, but Martin didn't want to listen to it anymore, got up and said, "I'm sorry, the agreement has been signed, I have to leave, say goodbye." ”

Davidson then stood up, stretched out his hand in front of him, and said, "Don't, I'm not done yet?"

Martin sank his face and whispered, "What, you want to be illegally detained?"

Davidson waved his hand and said, "Of course not, it's just talking." ”

Martin was silent, and Webber, who had never spoken, interjected coldly: "Martin, you just said that you know what our company's products are, and you have played with them?"

Martin glanced at Webb and didn't reply.

Webb said: "As a reminder, our products are still under confidentiality and all employees of Magic7 have signed confidentiality contracts. I have reason to believe that you are suspected of stealing our trade secrets. ”

Martin's eyes widened, he looked at Webb, and said, "You ......"

Then, Davidson whispered in his ear, "I heard that you just came back from San Francisco, and I heard that you put a lot of cash in a house in San Francisco, and I heard that the IRS dispatched a lot of people today......"

After three "hears" in a row, Martin heard the words like a lightning strike, and sat back in his chair in despair.

It's over!

Just when the Martin Six Gods were gone, outside the office building, I don't know when, almost all the workers arrived. Karl stood in front of the gate, facing the dense crowd of workers. Next to Carl were two large horns, and the wires behind the butts of the horns were taken from the office building.

The scene was silent!

They all heard the conversation between Davidson and Martin!

So, Martin is really finished!
