Chapter 165: General Strike (Part II)
After Wang Jiepu left the office, Wang Guoli picked up the note he had just written and glanced at it, and it slowly wrinkled, and his face was full of hesitation-1-1 A moment later, he unfolded the crumpled note again and looked at it, shook his head, and sneered, tore it to pieces, and threw it in the spittoon. In the end, he canceled the decision of "relatives are not in the factory". He grabbed his pen and wrote another note:
The company's salary cut is imperative; As soon as the price of yarn improves slightly, it is still paid according to the original salary, and I hope that all workers can go to work with peace of mind on the same day, and do not mishear treacherous words and do not do anything by themselves. It must be known that the director of the factory has tolerated the factional disputes in the trade union for a long time, and if he continues to dump and fuel the labor tide, the chairman of the board of directors can only take decisive measures! This cloth.
handed over the note to Li Jinping to announce, and Feng Guoli was about to leave. When he got into the car, he sternly instructed Sheng Wuming:
"No matter what you do, I'm going to start work tomorrow! Tomorrow! ”
It's one o'clock in the afternoon. Sheng Wuming paced back and forth in his room, sneering and frowning from time to time. He was so restless precisely because he was at the intersection of victory and defeat. When the labor tide started in the morning, although he heard many calls for "Down with Sheng Wuxian", he saw it accurately and he was sure. Since Feng Guoli came in person, this certainty has become a question. Although Feng Guoli repeatedly said "give full authority to Mr. Tu", Sheng Wuming's alert eye can see that the true meaning of Feng Guoli's words is "Give it all to you, until tomorrow!" ”
If the strike can't be resolved tomorrow, Sheng Wuming has only one way! Get lost!
And Wang Guoli has been undecided from the beginning this time, and he has already been seen by Sheng Wuming. A person like Wang Guoli, once he encounters him and can't make up his mind, it is difficult to serve; This is what Sheng Wuming sees very clearly!
Suddenly, a figure flashed outside the window. Sheng Wuming immediately stopped, looked out the window, and quickly ran out of the room. The person outside was Wang Changlin, the two of them glanced at each other, didn't speak, and walked to Li Jinping's room together. There were three or four people sitting neatly, including Li Jinping.
Sheng Wuming smiled coldly and glanced at everyone. Let's talk first:
"The director instructed that he must go to work tomorrow; Now there is only half a day and one night left, and time is very tight! Half a day in the morning, we talked to the workers' representatives, but we couldn't find it. They do not recognize the original union. Instead, a strike committee was now organized. Just now I sent Changlin to negotiate with their strike committee, and they said that they would listen to the orders of the strike committee of the General Union of Yarn Mills. It's so difficult! We don't care what 'total' or 'total' they are, we solve it individually! First things now, we have to start tomorrow! Even if it's half a job, we can explain to the chairman! Changlin. Do you see if you can start work tomorrow? What exactly are they asking for now? ”
Wang Changlin did not answer immediately. He looked at Sheng Wuming and then at Li Jinping, then shook his head and sighed:
"I'm discouraged! From last night to today, the two cheap legs have not stopped, but they pray for peace, and everyone has light on their faces; How do you know that there are still people who go to the boss to tear down the wall! Now Mr. Tu has called me to discuss, I don't have an idea, people want to scold me for taking money for nothing and being lazy. I came up with an idea. People want to say that I have selfish intentions and can't get along with anyone. Mr. Mo, don't you think I'm embarrassed? ”
There was silence in the room. Sheng Wuming frowned and bit his lip. Li Jinping's face was full of panic. Ah Zhen, who was sitting in the corner, covered her mouth and smiled secretly. She pushed Wang Jinping next to her, and then squinted her eyes to glance at Sheng Wuming. They all knew why Wang Changlin was complaining. Li Mazi couldn't bear it:
"Mr. Tu, you tell me to come down, and we will do it. Isn't that the end of it? ”
"Not bad! Mr. Tu ordered to come down! However, Changlin. It doesn't matter if you have an idea, let's discuss it. ”…,
Wang Jinping also said. looked at Li Jinping. The old man felt a little bit of it, too. Sheng Wuming nodded slowly, glanced at Li Mazi, and then turned his face to Wang Changlin.
"Well, then, let me say a few words of conscience. Since the promulgation of this social insurance law, it has been difficult for the boss to do it, and the workers have known it. The sign hung by the boss made it clear that the wages were discounted by 20% because the factory wanted to buy social security and medical insurance for the workers. If there is no future, it will still be returned to the workers, and all this is negotiable. The workers went on strike, half for money, half for a few people; Song Baozhu was arrogant, the workers hated her to death, and Wang Qiaolin and Second Sister Feng were also nails in the eyes of the public! It's not difficult to start work tomorrow, and these three people will have to stay out of the way for a few days! ”
Wang Changlin said slowly, while looking at Li Jinping's stunned face without blinking, Sheng Wuming also slipped into Li Jinping's face one by one. Everyone's eyes shot at Li Jinping. Li Jinping was flustered, but he also understood; He was the middleman, and he couldn't eat the account next door, so he quickly echoed:
"Good, good! As long as you can start work tomorrow, you can start work! ”
Sheng Wuming smiled coldly, knowing that this "passing the door" was enough, and it would be a lot of trouble to delay it for a long time, so he had to issue orders according to the predetermined plan. His face suddenly sank, he raised his left hand, pressed it in the air, called everyone's attention, and said sternly:
"People don't talk so much! We have a way to tell the workers to go to work tomorrow, and we will do our business! Ah Zhen, have you met Li Jinfeng too much? In what strike committee, besides Li Jinfeng, who else are there? Which ones are better with Li Jinfeng? ”
"Anyway, how many of them are! It's just He Ermei's gang! There are two who are good with Jin Feng: Aunt Xu and Li Baozhu. ”
Ah Zhen pursed her lips and said with slanted eyes.
Sheng Wuming suddenly got angry.
"You're too sloppy! Jane! Who are the members of the strike committee, you must inquire and find out! I'll send Wang Jinping to help you. You first asked Li Jinfeng to pull the surname Xu and the surname Li. Tell them to be careful! He Ermei's appearance of the entire Republican Chaos Party, the police station is going to arrest her! If you don't go to work tomorrow, the chairman will be polite, and you will talk about it if you have something to say. You have summoned all the vehicles, and everyone went to the work area to tell them from door to door, don't fall for others! ”
"That's not going to work! At this time, I went to the work area to pull people, and honestly went to beg for a beating! ”
Wang Jinping and Ah Zhen shouted in unison.
"What are you afraid of! Hit it! Do you also need bodyguards? Okay, Lao Li, you call your subordinates to protect them with their hearts! ”
Sheng Wuming said impatiently, her voice was very strong, Ah Zhen blushed, and wanted to argue, but Wang Jinping pulled the corner of her clothes beside her. Tell her not to ring. Sheng Wuming also ignored the two of them anymore, turned his face and asked Wang Changlin:
"What kind of general alliance strike are they, and who is behind it?"
"It's not just the Republican Party taking the opportunity to make trouble! Hongkou. Zhabei, a total of more than 100 factories, large and small, are now down. They have a general office, and I heard that they are doing it in some hotel. -- I can hear about it tonight. ”
"It's too late tonight! We're going to find out this afternoon! However, Changlin, there is something else important for you to do. When the workers are numerous, they are bold; If a few factories in our neighborhood don't open, our workers here won't listen to us. Changlin. You have to hurry up and talk to those factories that everyone will start work tomorrow. Forced to work by force! Please send a few more policemen to the police station, and if someone dares to 'stop' at the gate of the factory, they will be arrested! ”
"Yes, yes! Let's do the same here! Mr. Tu, I've long wanted to just them! ”…,
Li Mazi heard that he was going to use force, so he quickly interjected and slapped his two big palms on his legs. Li Mazi is a rough man. From this morning. He couldn't guess why Sheng Wuming refused to use force, if it weren't for his "loyalty" to Sheng Wuming, he would have to say bad things about Sheng Wuming behind his back. Now he couldn't bear it anymore, so he expressed his meaning, but he still looked at Sheng Wuming's face very loyally.
Sheng Wuming looked at Li Mazi's face and smiled slightly. It's like soothing, it's like a thumbs up. At the same time, he said, half-explanatory and half-commanding:
"Lao Li, don't be anxious. Your fist will always make a profit! Someone who can fight. refusing to strike first; Isn't? -- Also, our factory is not as good as others. There are a lot of pimples, and if you don't see it clearly, you can do it, maybe it will stiffen things! The chairman has always been generous, and we have to follow his wishes. Changlin, do you understand? Let someone else's house kill the chickens and scare the monkeys here! ”
"Wrap it up on me, and it's all right!" Baozhu was arrogant, the workers hated her to death, as well as Wang Qiaolin, Second Sister Feng,
"That's good! - Mr. Li, please put up a sign immediately and expel Song Baozhu, Wang Qiaolin, and Second Sister Feng! ”
Sheng Wuming suddenly turned to Li Jinping with a very stern attitude.
Li Mazi and Wang Jinping were also slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, what I just said was "hiding for a few days", but now it has become a simple "expulsion". However, when they saw Sheng Wuming's resolute vision, they understood that this matter was irreparable; I'm afraid they must be unlucky this time!
Li Jinping was also surprised, looking at Sheng Wuming's cold face, he was silent. After a while, he hesitantly touched his cheek bone and said:
"Second Sister Feng gave her a little face, and asked the chairman to transfer her to the 'new' factory?"
"That's the chairman's grace, it's none of our business! We still have to be fired here! ”
Sheng Wuming replied coldly, turned his face and glanced at Wang Changlin and the four of them, and then continued sharply:
"As you all know, yesterday afternoon, it was Second Sister Feng and the three of them who first coaxed the workers in the workshop to oppose the 20% discount on wages! They can't be the chairman's factory, and they want to use the workers to avenge their personal revenge against Wang Changlin! But they are too bad in their ordinary lives, and although they want to please the workers, the workers still hate the three of them! Now we are going to fire them, and we have no selfish motives at all, just because the three of them are troublemakers, and on the other hand, we have to puncture a few holes, so that the workers will be willing to go to work tomorrow! The chairman did not allow me to resign, and I had to do it, so I had to be difficult! If I rely on everyone's help, I can do it tonight, and tomorrow I will start work peacefully, and my resignation will still be approved by the chairman! ”
Li Jinping and the others all looked at each other and stopped making a sound.
"It's not early. Hurry up and do it, and I'll hear back at five o'clock! - Lao Li, there is another thing to send you! ”
Sheng Wuming gave the last order majestically, made a gesture to Li Mazi, and left first. Li Mazi grimaced at Ah Zhen and the others, smiled, and hurriedly followed.
At the end of the corridor of the houses around the management department, Sheng Wuming stopped. Li Mazi hurriedly took a step forward, stood opposite Sheng Wuming, opened his mouth, and showed a mouthful of big teeth. Half of Sheng Wuming's face was basking in the sun, shining brightly; The other half was slightly pale. He tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, then shot his sharp eyes on Li Mazi's face, and asked softly:
"I've been staring at the tip for a long time, and there are still no clues?"
"Nope. Coming and going with the two of them. It's all people in the factory; We also watched a little, but they were only walking around in the work area! ”
"Do they know that someone is watching?"
"That won't! My few people are all old thresholds, and they can't show the wind! ”…,
"Do you see the face of the born?"
"Nope. With Second Sister He. Zhang Axin's contacts are all from the factory! ”
Sheng Wuming glanced at Li Mazi again, then tilted his head sideways and closed one eye. He thought in his heart that Li Mazi's subordinates must be too stupid. Exposed.
At this moment, a figure flickered in the corner of the wall over there. Sheng Wu's eyes were quick, and when he immediately ran a few steps forward to look, it was Ah Xiang. This new recruit, Sheng Wuming has not sent him important work this time. When he saw Sheng Wuming, he stopped. Sheng Wuming frowned, and then ordered:
"Ah Xiang! The whole class will go to the work area to take care of the workers and go to work tomorrow; The boss made a notice. If you have something to say, I'll talk about it when I get to work. Go and see if the whole class is gone; If you're lazy, report me! ”
"If you make trouble, don't be polite; Just say hello! In the area of the work area, we have people! ”
Li Mazi also shouted on the side, opening his mouth wide and laughing. Sheng Wuming also smiled, and then said to Li Mazi with a serious face:
"We also went to the work area to find someone. You tell five or six people to come with us! ”
Sheng Wuming now saw that the pretty Zhu Guiying in the dark must also have a "flower head", and decided to go on an adventure in person.
They saw police double posts along the way. The Defending Regiment on patrol. Female mill workers were noisy on the side of the road. The sun seemed to burn all the oil on their faces, but they were not afraid, and they ran around excitedly, shouting everywhere. Closer to the work area, the air is even more tense. The female workers are like mosquitoes at dusk, piling up in heaps. They all talked about the dismissal of three people in the factory.
"Don't you talk about the 20% discount on wages? What a lie! Such a cry jumped out of the chaos.
Sheng Wuming still smiled coldly. and Li Mazi walked into the area of the work area. But his face turned even paler. He felt that there were thousands of poisonous eyes shooting at him in all directions, and Sheng Wuming lowered his head and walked quickly. Ask Li Mazi to lead him to his destination.
"Sheng Wuliang is here to arrest someone!"
Suddenly, he shouted this from a bamboo door in the work area. Then there was a small jump. Li Mazi snorted and stretched out his big black hand. If you take a step forward, you have to catch that girl. But the man skilfully ducked and ran away. Sheng Wuming glanced at Li Mazi and didn't allow him to chase after him anymore; The two of them kept breaking into Zhu Guiying's house. The five or six people brought with them stood guard in the area on the left outside the bamboo gate.
When Sheng Wuming's eyes got used to the dim light in the work area, he saw Zhu Guiying standing in front of him, two shining eyes nailed him, her face was red with anger, but her lips turned white. There was no one else in the work area, just the three of them; Zhu Guiying, Li Mazi, Sheng Wuming. It's a tense silence.
Outside the work area, there was a commotion like a tide, and it gradually became louder.
Sheng Wuming smiled reluctantly and said:
"Gui Ying! Someone reports that you are a Republican against the party! Now there are two roads in front of you, you can choose by yourself: one is to tell me, what other comrades are in the party, then we will promote you to be a pipe car; There is another one that you refuse to say, you go to jail! ”
"I'm not! I don't know! ”
"But I do! The other two are Second Sister He, Zhang Axin-"
Zhu Guiying couldn't help her heart jump, and her face changed a little. Sheng Wuming saw it very clearly, so he smiled and continued:
"Who else, I want you to tell you!"
"I don't know. To the police station, I said the same thing! ”
Zhu Guiying's face calmed down a little, her lips became whiter, and her watery eyes were full of red light. Sheng Wuming sneered lightly, suddenly turned his face, looked at Li Mazi, and shouted:
"Lao Li, search it!"
At this time, the noise outside the work area also expanded. A shouting and scolding suddenly rose, and suddenly there was no one, and suddenly it turned into a rush of human flesh and bamboo and wood, slap! Pat it! The screams of clenched teeth, the heart-rending howls, the sound of fluffy footsteps like fire. Then there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and a group of people rushed into the work area and rushed straight to Sheng Wuming and Li Mazi. A silent scuffle in the dark! The board table and the broken bamboo couch have all been turned over!
Sheng Wuming opened the way with a bench and jumped out of the crowd. However, a second group of people rushed in from outside the work area and encircled him again. Outside, there was an earth-shattering shout. Sheng Wuming and the two of them scuffled. In the panic, he saw clearly that one was Zhang Axin. Suddenly, Li Mazi dragged a person, used that person as a weapon, rushed out of the way, and struggled to Sheng Wuming's side. So the female workers who surrounded Sheng Wuming turned around and went to grab people together. Sheng Wuming took advantage of this opportunity to escape from the bamboo gate in the work area, and he bumped into a group of more than a dozen. But this group is not an angry female worker, but a man under Li Mazi. The women workers followed the group closely.
At this moment, the sound of the siren also sounded sharply in the human voice. The unkempt hair of the female workers dangled from the white circles of the policemen's hats.
Bang! Bang bang! Gunshot!
Suddenly the gunshots rang out! (To be continued......)
