Section 226 Entrustment to Duncan [I]
A sudden feeling of disgust as quickly as influenza infected every civilian employee of the Great Viper Arms Company and the Umbrella Security Services Company: Henry Brown. Daubers, Elizabeth. Miss Daubers's father, the ridiculous monkey, had only made them laugh before, but now they hated him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because that damn monkey completely ruined their easy time.
Such accusations seem unjustified, Mr. Daubers has never been in contact with the civilian employees of the two companies, has never done anything to them, and in fact he does not even know these people, so there is no reason at all to accuse him of ruining them, but the employees have their own logic.
First of all, it is a very important fact that when Miss McBride and Mr. Qin Lang are in the company, each employee has to do his best to complete his tasks quickly and correctly, showing a great deal of efficiency - or else he will be punished, usually by deducting part of his salary. And now, Miss McBride had gone to distant China, and Mr. Qin Lang, according to Mr. Sandy's explanation, should have been in the laboratory with Miss Daubers in the esoteric scientific research, so that the employees suddenly found themselves a little slack, and no longer functioned as wildly as before.
What could be more wonderful than that? Although Miss McBride will eventually return from China, and Mr. Qin Lang's research will not go on forever, people will always be happy that there is a time to relax, even if it is only for a short time......
But the problem is that the good times didn't come. Mr. Qin Lang did not conduct research in the laboratory but stayed at the company headquarters all day, so that all the staff had to operate as efficiently as usual, without the slightest slack--so they were very unhappy.
So they began to resent Henry. Daubs, if he hadn't forcibly taken Miss Daubers to find a suitable store and couldn't complete such a simple job for a long time, Mr. Qin Lang would not have continued to stay in the company, and they would not have continued to work hard.
It's all the monkey's fault.
So they hated him.
"Damn London monkeys."
"What?" Qin Lang raised his head and looked directly at the secretary who sent the documents in with a stern gaze, "Miss Ross, what were you talking about just now?" ”
"It's nothing, Mr. Qin." The secretary tried to appear calm, but with little success. "I ...... I didn't say anything. ”
"Do you think I'm a fool, Miss Rose?" In addition to his gaze, Qin Lang's voice also became stern, "I heard you say 'damn monkey'. ”
Of course, in fact, he heard it very clearly, "damn London monkey", he knew who the secretary was referring to - Fisborne reported to him every day about the situation in the company, so Qin Lang knew very well what the employees of the company thought of Mr. Daubers, and he also knew the reason for this opinion.
However, he felt the need to scare the secretary: if she could not keep her mouth shut, then she was not fit to continue in her current position.
Qin Lang's scare had the effect he wanted, and Miss Secretary's face immediately turned white. She thought of a problem, her boss was very taboo about having someone "yellow monkey" in front of him, according to legend, such people never had good results. The problem now is that while she didn't mention the word, he was thinking so, because he had apparently heard a key word.
She hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, boss, I mean Mr. Daubers, everyone calls him 'the monkey from London'—"
"I doubt you're playing tricks on me, Miss Rose." Qin Lang didn't have any expression on his face, but his voice clearly revealed a sense of malice.
Miss Secretary's face was now pale. "I swear what I said is true."
"Perhaps, Miss Rose. Of course I can trust you once, but if I hear anything like that again, you'd have to leave where you are - so, ma'am, keep your mouth shut. He said loudly, bringing his threat to her ears with unmistakable accuracy.
Then he waved his hand. "Now you can leave."
"I'll definitely pay more attention, Mr. Qin." The secretary bowed to Qin Lang as if she had been granted amnesty, then turned and rushed out of the office, almost colliding with Duncan who pushed the door in - not in a hurry to get back to work, but just in a hurry to leave her terrible boss.
Duncan was confused by her actions, so he kept staring at her figure until the door automatically slid and closed to cut off his view, then he slowly turned his head, pointed to the door and asked in confusion, "What happened here just now, Qin?" She looked terrified. ”
"I scared her a little."
"Scare? Why? ”
"Because she said something in front of me that shouldn't have been mentioned." Qin Lang raised his eyebrows, "It looks like you're not paying attention to the situation of the company's employees at all, Duncan." ”
"About their attitude towards Mr. Daubers? Of course, I know. Duncan said, "The monkey really went too far. ”
"I don't mean that, friend, it's not worth my energy to care about." Qin Lang knocked on the table and emphasized the importance of what he was about to mention, "I'm referring to the work attitude of the company's employees. How could they think they would be able to relax when Rachel and I weren't here? ”
"Why not?" Duncan asked rhetorically, but before Qin Lang could speak, he took it himself, "Qin, under the pressure of you and Rachel, public and private employees can only work nervously, but I think this is harmful, they shouldn't be as nervous as they are now-"
"So you're going to indulge them and let them work as they wish?"
"That's right."
"Hell, Duncan!" Qin Lang shouted, "We are capitalists, not philanthropists...... Of course," he shrugged, "I'm almost forgetting that you're a half-toned Robert. Owen's followers. ”
He thought of the trouble Duncan had once caused, the Labor Association. This is simply madness, the capitalists all over the United States are trying to prevent their workers from joining the labor associations, using all kinds of methods to wage fierce battles against the labor associations that already exist, even at the expense of co-opting blacks, while he intends to form a ...... himself The capitalists, the establishment of labor associations, is really a move with black humor.
Of course, he didn't succeed, and the idea ended up being just an idea in the face of everyone's opposition, and was quickly abandoned, but unfortunately Duncan's attitude towards the company's employees remained unchanged, and now he began to act as a spokesman and protector for them again.
Qin Lang didn't like this kind of thing at all.
"Anyway, Duncan, I don't care about your faith and don't intend to interfere with it," he said, "but you can't cause trouble with the day-to-day management of the company." If we let all employees work as they wish, it won't be long before we are overwhelmed by our competitors. ”
"But—"
"Nothing, But, Duncan." For a moment, Qin Lang was tempted to tell Duncan about the Japanese way of working, but he quickly abandoned the idea - the stories might scare Duncan, and the attitude of working like crazy until he burned himself out was not what he was after.
After careful consideration for a while, he decided to summarize his statement in the traditional format. "As I've always emphasized, Duncan, all bad ideas have one thing in common: they all look like good ideas until people find out they're bad ideas."
Duncan thought for a moment, then asked, "But how do you know my idea is a bad one?" ”
"History." Qin Lang said, "How did capitalism develop? Brutal exploitation of workers. Duncan, the philanthropist's business is all finished, and all that remains is sweatshops. Of course, we should be nicer to senior employees, but we can't make them work on their own terms. ”
"This is clearly not going to last forever." Duncan looked extremely unwilling.
Of course, he was right that it wouldn't last forever, or within a decade Carnegie would be playing the role of a philanthropist – even though four years ago he was still ordering his private army to suppress striking workers demanding higher wages; And Theodore. Roosevelt, before he became president of the United States, was a strong advocate of repression of the workers, threatening to shoot the workers' leaders on more than one occasion, but then he began to prevent the corporations from doing so.
Things will always change, but not now; It's too early to talk about the rights of employees.
"Duncan, those who are behind the times will be eliminated, but those who are ahead of the times, although some have succeeded, the vast majority have been burned at the stake." Qin Lang looked at him seriously, "Do you want to be Bruno?" ”
There was little to think about, and Duncan's attitude was clear. "Nope."
"Then you've got to be tough with the employees of the company and keep them on the job they are doing at the same time, and you can't let up because I or Rachel aren't here."
He sighed. "I'll do my best, Qin."
"Don't let me down, friend." After a pause, Qin Lang continued, "Now let's talk about your new job, do you know why I would make you the general manager of United Textile Technology?" ”
"Why?" This has always been something that Duncan has been curious about. He knew that he was definitely not the most suitable one among all the candidates, and he couldn't even enter the top ten, so why did Qin Lang choose him?
"Because you're good enough for the workers and don't oversqueeze them."
Duncan was stunned, what does this mean? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
