John had a very nice weekend at the villa in Stolle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info John felt that these bold, direct Germans were more in his temper than those Parisian celebrities who pretended to be elegant and spoke in a fog.

And these Germans also appreciated Johann's honesty and accommodatingness. In the case of Germany being generally hostile to European society, Johan, a young rich American man who was "full of goodwill" towards Germany, quickly gained their psychological recognition.

Over the next few days, John was arranged by Stoller to visit the Foundation's "Objckte" businesses. John didn't care too much about the business of these businesses, and he had already made up his mind to sell all his shares in them.

During his visits to these machining, coal and nitrogen fertilizer production companies, John was more interested in how Nazi Germany managed the factories and workers.

You know, after the First World War, Germany lost all of its overseas colonies. In the absence of a place of origin for raw materials and a dumping market for goods, they suffered more severe in the economic crisis of 1929.

But why is it that the workers' movement in Europe and the United States is now rising from wave to wave, but the German factories are so harmonious, stable, and prosperous?

During his visit, John discovered an interesting organization in the factory, the Kraftdurch Freude (KDF). It was a subordinate organization of the Imperial Labor Front, with the aim of "gaining strength through pleasure", and was responsible for organizing the workers to participate in cultural recreation, physical exercise, outdoor sports, travel and vacation, recuperation and health care.

This organization even has its own boats, hotels, nursing homes, and other facilities and serves its members at a very low price. John inquired that members of the Imperial Labor Front had taken a vacation to Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean, and that it would cost him only about $25 including the round-trip fare. A ski trip to the Alps costs US$11 per week, including the cost of transportation, room, meals, sleigh rental and hiring a ski instructor.

There are still capable people in the Nazi Party, John secretly praised in his heart. In the case of the economic crisis, high-end consumption places are already crowded and cannot continue to operate. The government buys these industries at low prices and opens them up to ordinary workers, and compensates for the impact of low income on workers' motivation by organizing group recuperations.

In the previous life, the Soviet Union also had this kind of situation of "being able to soak in hot springs, but not being able to nibble on bread". On the one hand, the food counters of state stores were empty, and workers could not buy anything with large sums of rubles. The working class, on the other hand, has access to free education, medical care, and the opportunity to travel to Sochi and even Cuba every year for recuperation at public expense.

John silently calculated that these German companies did not invest as much in the welfare system as FedEx in terms of workers' labor compensation, social security and pensions. The average income of these German workers is less than one-third of that of FedEx employees, and their material livelihood is very scarce, and they can only eat meat once a week, but their work enthusiasm and mental state are much better than that of ordinary American workers.

The truth in this is actually very simple, Confucius taught us that we do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality. When John was a child in his previous life, the factory director also crowded the tube building with everyone, and it took half a day to eat a braised pork. Although the standard of living is very low, everyone feels that they are very happy, and they can enjoy a movie in the factory for several days. Later, the gap between the rich and the poor widened, and all kinds of discontent grew.

The same is true in Germany, where the economy was on the verge of collapse and unemployment was high before the Nazis came to power. The Nazis increased jobs by returning married women to their families and taking more vacations and shifts. What kind of job registration system has been put in place to stabilize the jobs of workers and make them feel at ease.

Although the wages of the workers are not as good as before, everyone's income has been pulled to the same level, and the gap between the rich and the poor among ordinary people is not large. Coupled with this "gain strength through happiness" activity, the workers have enjoyed "high-end consumption" that they have not enjoyed before, and the happiness index will naturally rise.

The Nazis not only exploited the workers to the maximum, but also won the support of the working class, and the Nazis played a beautiful trick. John feels that all of this is a reference for FedEx to solve labor problems in the future, and he needs to learn from them. So, he approached Stoller with the idea of learning more about the Joy Force and the Imperial Labor Front.

The Nazi top brass was still very happy to hear that "the rich Americans admired the advanced social system of Nazi Germany." Not long after John's request, Stolle arranged for him to meet with a big man, Robert Ley, the national leader of the Reich Labor Front and president of the German Association for Labor Security.

Later, Robert Ley was not too well-known in the upper echelons of the Nazi Party, and people talked more about his beautiful daughter-in-law, Inga Ley.

Hitler was a regular at the Anglo-Canadian art salons held every weekend, and on more than one occasion he publicly praised Inga Ley's beauty and envied Robert Ley's beautiful wife.

In addition, those who are familiar with the history of Volkswagen will also know that Ley, the famous automobile company, was actually founded by him.

At that time, Hitler had ordered the production of a car that every German could afford, and the price was set at 920 marks (about 396 US dollars, the average 10-month salary of a worker at that time). Since it was impossible for the private sector to produce at a loss, the Reich Labor Front was responsible for the manufacture of such cars as a social welfare, and the Volkswagen plant was born.

Mr. Ley asked workers to finance Volkswagen's production through an installment program called "pay now, get the goods." Each worker pays 5 DM per week, and when 750 DM is paid, the buyer receives an order number, which they can get after the car is produced.

But before the workers could get their hands on the cars, the war broke out. The Volkswagen plant switched to the production of tanks and motorcycles, which were urgently needed at the front, and Ley earned more than 100 million marks from the workers for nothing.

Ley's later oblivion was largely due to the fact that during World War II, his powers were gradually replaced by Fritz Tórt, Albert Speer, and Fritz Schokel, the Plenipotentiary of Wartime Workers, and his position in the Nazi Party.

But by this time in 1938, Ley was still a sought-after figure in power within the Nazi Party. The Reich Labor Front, which he was in charge of, was the top organization of the Nazi socio-political and economic structure, under which the entire German population (whether workers or employers) was under its leadership, and controlled the economic lifeblood of almost all German enterprises and business groups, and was called the "soul of the Nazi economic system".

According to Ley, the Reich Labor Front, which currently has 23 million members, is the largest group in the Third Reich. Last year, its membership dues and revenues from affiliated economic organizations exceeded 400 million marks, several times the revenues of the Nazi Party during the same period.

Although Ley himself was a well-known drunkard in the Third Reich and often made mistakes due to drinking, John was very appreciative of his current achievements. John believes that the reason why the Nazi Party was able to maintain a high degree of stability in the country was that in addition to the monitoring of the masses by the Gestapo and other police agencies, the social welfare policies implemented by Ley also played a great role in the co-optation and paralysis of the masses.

In the meeting with Ley, John behaved modestly, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the other party. Not only did Ley personally introduce him to the Imperial Labor Front and the Joy of the Force, but he also warmly took him on a tour of a "Labor Beautification Campaign" project under construction. The aim of the project was to renovate the old factory with new canteens, comfortable non-smoking rooms and cleaner and more beautiful workplaces for workers.

After a day of visiting, John gained a lot. He had never realized that the staff canteen, which was commonplace in his previous life, would be so attractive to the current workers. It is just a matter of providing some cheap food during working hours, and the motivation of workers can be so significantly improved. There are even many workers who choose to take the initiative to work overtime on rest days for a slightly fishy lunch, which was unimaginable in previous lives.

John secretly decided that he would first open a staff cafeteria in each of the company's operation centers. Maybe you can go for the "KFC grandpa" again, and the fried chicken burger is a convenient fast food that is best for FedEx employees who need to run around.

And these things can be done by Adele, a generous, kind and caring boss lady, who is definitely a good helper and a good helper to help John get closer to the grassroots employees. At the same time, this can also allow Adele to accumulate some experience in the catering industry. Maybe Adele may really become a "giant in the world's chain fast food industry" in the future.
