Owners of various manufacturing industries in France gathered here for a meeting, and all of them looked solemn. The French economic crisis www.biquge.info has made everyone suffer, and they hope to solve it! And now that the Bonapartes have implemented a new policy, they are also looking forward to resuming production as soon as possible, and then making themselves rich again.

Even the debt crisis is extremely serious, and they are thinking of asking Xu Qing to solve it. On this occasion, Louis Bonaparte attended the meeting in his capacity as chairman of the National Council for Economic Reconstruction. Mathilde, in his capacity as CEO, chairs the meeting, and Xu Qing serves as general counsel to make recommendations and solutions.

"Now I have to invite Mr. Xu Qing, the general counsel, chairman of Yinghua Group, and the general counsel of the National Economic Recovery Commission, to talk about his plan." Mathilde took the initiative to say.

Xu Qing walked out and said directly: "France is currently in an economic crisis, and I am also anxious as France's 'son-in-law', so I won't waste time talking about those empty words." I believe that the current crisis in France needs to be faced and overcome by people from all walks of life in France. ”

"All of you here are business owners of various companies, especially those in the manufacturing industry, who employ a large number of workers. It is still up to you to solve the problem of workers' employment. Therefore, we believe that in order to maintain stability, it is necessary to address the employment needs of the French as much as possible. And the factory is the most suitable place to solve the problem of employment. ”

"So I suggest that the French government can set a minimum wage, and the factories mainly ensure that every worker does not work more than eight hours a day. Ensuring the workers as much as possible in their lives is the foundation of stability. ”

Xu Qing directly took out the famous minimum wage system in later generations, so that the minimum wage is the most important means to ensure that those workers at the bottom of the society are not overly exploited and do not despair. If there is no minimum wage, the capitalists will exploit the employees wantonly, and in the end the employees will not be able to bear it, and then a revolution will inevitably break out.

And Xu Qing asked for shorter working hours, which is also to create a better working environment for workers and not to work long hours. And shorter working hours can squeeze out more jobs and meet the employment needs of more workers.

Soon, however, some business owners objected.

"I have an opinion that this will greatly increase the cost of employing people. If we do that, the cost of hiring workers for our business will increase very quickly, so I don't think it's appropriate. ”

Xu Qing snorted coldly and said, "At this time, don't expect to continue to squeeze the workers." I tell you, don't let the workers despair, the bill makes the workers despair, you will die without a place to bury. You squeeze the workers, so that they have a meager income, and they can't support their families. But have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so? Doing so will inevitably lead to revolution, understand? It is a revolution, and if you do that, a proletarian revolution will break out quickly. ”

"When the time comes, they will nationalize all your property, and you will be a poor bastard, and you will end up with nothing and your lives in danger. Now there is a trend of thought, that is, to nationalize all enterprises, not to allow anyone to have private property, and to nationalize all things produced, including land, factories, and shares in enterprises. ”

"And the people who are most supportive of such a policy are the workers who are most pained by you. I won't say much about the current economic situation in France, but you yourself know it very well. If you continue to squeeze and do not consider alleviating the contradictions, you will inevitably face a wave of revolution. And this revolution is not a revolution of the propertied people, but a revolution of the proletarians, have you thought about it? ”

The factory owner in France was so frightened that if it was really as Xu Qing said, it would be a terrible consequence. Once the proletarians take power directly, a counter-offensive against them will not only result in the nationalization of their industries, but even their own lives in danger. Therefore, the possibility of the future that Xu Qing talked about, this is still very possible.

"Is what Mr. Xu said true?" "It seems that there is something to be done, and I have heard that there is such a trend of thought among the people!" "Yes! I've heard about it, too, but I didn't pay attention to it before! "At first, I didn't think it was possible, but if the economy continues like this, it really could happen!" "Yes, that's it!" ……

In fact, it is not that there are no factory owners who are not aware of the proletarian ideology, of course, it is still not obvious at present, and even the political ideas are still very crude. After all, Lao Ma's "Capital" has not yet been written, and there is no good summary after all. However, a trend of thought about the proletarians seizing power and even nationalizing some private enterprises has begun to brew rapidly. Lao Ma was able to write "Capital", of course, because he was a genius, but this was also related to the social environment at that time.

There was already a Magna Carta movement in England, and there was a vague trend of thought in France. These French capitalists didn't really pay attention to it before, but now that they have been provoked by Xu Qing, they have to pay attention to it.

As for Louis Bonaparte's face is also very dignified, if there is really such a "trend of thought", then once such a trend of thought is brewed and exploded, He Yan's first target to be attacked is the government. In many cases, the government is responsible for carrying the black pot, just like this time the Orleans Dynasty is actually the financial aristocracy and natural disasters that are at work, but it makes the people dissatisfied with the Orleans Dynasty.

In fact, the government is also like this, and it is often responsible for carrying the black pot. In the event of a natural disaster, the government will bear the black pot and the people will revolutionize. In the economic crisis, the government has to bear the black pot and the people will revolutionize. The country was invaded, and the government took the blame. and so on, all of which are enough to prove that the government is actually a back-handed man many times, carrying the blame for those ruling classes. When the people are angry, the ruling class can come to a city to change the banner of the king, change the nominal government, and let the people be angry and what should be done.

But Louis Bonaparte, who wanted to restore Napoleon's empire, would be the first to bear the brunt of the empire of the Bonaparte family if such a trend of thought arose. In this way, they are not nervous, so he also wants to curb this trend of thought. But the most effective way to curb this trend of thought is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle so that the French people will not be so desperate.

"I think this is feasible, and if you don't want to, then we at the French Reconstruction Committee will use various economic policies to treat it specially!" Louis Bonaparte replied.

Xu Qing also followed suit and said: "All the enterprises of our Yinghua Group's debt-to-equity swap must implement an eight-hour work system and a minimum wage. If a factory enterprise wants to obtain the opportunity to convert debt into equity, if it does not agree to this, it will be executed according to the original creditor's rights and debts. ”

Hearing Xu Qing's words, those factory owners were almost scared to death. Didn't they come here in the hope that Xu Qing, a big financier, could realize the debt-to-equity swap and then revitalize their factory? If this continues, and the loan shark continues, sooner or later their factory will go out of business. As business owners, if the business fails, they will all have nothing and even go into debt.

Such an outcome was not something they were willing to accept, and soon a group of people chose to agree under the pressure of this huge economic crisis.

"I am willing to accept Mr. Xu Qing's opinion, as long as Mr. Xu Qing is willing to give me a debt-to-equity swap and help us revitalize the factory, I am willing to implement an eight-hour work day and implement a minimum wage system."

"I am also willing, as long as Mr. Xu Qing is willing to help us, we are willing to implement the minimum wage system and the eight-hour work system."

In the world of capital, money is almost omnipotent. However, these factory owners just don't have enough money, and if they don't agree to Xu Qing's terms, then they will inevitably continue to repay the loan sharks, and they will not be able to get the support of Xu Qing's Yinghua Group. In this way, it is inevitable that they will go bankrupt and go bankrupt, and it is not unacceptable to make less money than going bankrupt and going bankrupt with nothing.

In particular, the trend of thought that Xu Qing said about nationalizing all enterprises is also a situation that increases the pressure on them.

With the first, then there is a second to agree. And with the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth agreed. As for the last, those who didn't want to agree saw so many people agree, if they didn't agree, wouldn't it be a solid reputation for persecuting and squeezing workers.

"Don't stand out from the crowd, or we're in trouble!" Many business owners who had no intention of saying yes were forced to say yes.

Because if they don't agree at this time, the reputation will definitely not be too good, and once the reputation of killing workers is confirmed, they will also face the result of being cleaned up. Especially when so many people have agreed, and if you don't agree alone, you will naturally be isolated. In the mall, being isolated is not a good thing, so they quickly agreed one by one.

Soon these companies began to sign a convention, which stipulated that all companies that signed the convention would have a minimum wage and an eight-hour workday. And overtime cannot be arranged casually, so as to protect and create more jobs.

"Remember, overtime can't be arranged casually, and the eight-hour workday is a convention that must be followed at the moment. Three shifts are possible, but don't schedule overtime. Because what we need at the moment is to get through the crisis, if one person gets the opportunity to work overtime at a time, it will make other workers unable to get a job, which is not good for the workers. Although an eight-hour work is less than overtime, but? It can meet the basic needs of a family. Especially in the current crisis, it is necessary to curb everyone's greed, not only the greed of the capitalists, but also the greed of the workers themselves, so that the limited resources can satisfy the survival of as many people as possible. “

Xu Qing gave a suggestion, which is actually to curb overtime. This is not only to protect the health of workers, but also to ensure more jobs. If everyone works a little more overtime, it will also hurt other people's jobs in the end. Although the eight-hour workday may earn less, it is not a problem to feed the family.

In the midst of an economic crisis, we need to think about how to survive, so that we can all survive together.

"Louis, you have to find a way to extend the power of the government, and to be able to directly interfere with the day-to-day economic production. In the past, according to European custom, the general government did not directly interfere in the day-to-day economic production. However, in the midst of a crisis, you should take the initiative to think differently and intervene in production, so that you can survive the crisis together, so that everyone can have more chances to survive and provide a foundation for future revival. ””

Louis Bonaparte thought for a moment that strengthening the government's control over the economy is actually strengthening the government's power. This will help to stabilize the imperial power to a certain extent, and strengthen the influence of the government, in fact, it can further effectively curb the interest groups behind it, which actually has a huge effect on the consolidation of the imperial power of Louis Bonaparte and the Bonaparte family.

This was also beneficial to Louis Bonaparte, so Louis Bonaparte quickly chose to agree with this opinion.

"I'll consider this suggestion!" Louis Bonaparte said.

Xu Qing then gave Louis Bonaparte a piece of advice, saying; "Louie, I advise you, it is better never to disappoint your citizens. Especially at the bottom, once the people at the bottom of society are disappointed, they will burst out with a very powerful force, and their power will definitely be guided and used by others, which is enough to destroy the world. We in China, there are many examples. Although the real and absolute origin of our China is Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, countless dynasties are actually the origin of the uprisings of the people at the bottom, and finally let the careerists seize power. Even your so-called revolutions in France, even your uncle Napoleon, and now you too. “

"So if you really want the country to be stable, or don't let the people at the bottom despair, understand?"

Louis Napoleon replied somewhat absent-mindedly: "Understood! ”

Xu Qing sighed secretly, this Louis Napoleon still didn't hear it. Not to mention this, even so many peasant uprisings in China have not really awakened the domestic rulers, and so many years of aristocratic rule in the West have paralyzed the aristocracy ideologically. Even the Bonaparte family is not really the bottom, it is also a small noble, although it is born in the French colony of Corsica, but it is also a small noble.

Western aristocratic rule has a long tradition, unlike China, which has begun to promote a large number of low-level figures as officials as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so the idea of Chinese aristocratic rule is not serious. The nobles of China are not really nobles, while the nobles of the West are blood nobles, which is different from the two.

It is a pity that Louis Bonaparte did not have this kind of internal affairs in mind.
