"Mr. MacDonald, there is a telegram back from France. It's for Mr. Carol MacDonald, and after he saw it, he thought you should come and see it too. By the way, discuss it with him. "It was Carol's secretary Boron who spoke.

"Ah, Boron, do you know what that telegram is about?" Scrooge looked up from his desk and asked, as he put away some of the blueprints that had been placed on the table and placed them in the safe embedded in the wall next to him. Obviously, these blueprints are about some kind of technical design that makes a lot of business sense.

"Ah, sir, it's about trade union activity in France, and I don't know exactly what happened." Boron replied, "But I don't think it's a bad thing to look at Mr. Carroll's face." ”

"Whatever it is, just go and see it. Well, let's get over it. Scrooge said to Boron.

Carroll's office wasn't far from Scrooge's, just down the stairs, and then a little bit there.

When Scrooge walked into Carroll's office, Carroll was reading the telegram.

"Carol, any news?" Scrooge walked over and sat down next to Carol.

"Well, there was some trouble with the union at MacDonald Steel France, and it's pretty much settled down now. I came to you to discuss what to do next. Oh, you look at this telegram first. Carroll handed the long telegram to Scrooge.

Scrooge took the thick message and flipped through it, his brow furrowed.

"What's wrong? Any questions? Carol asked.

"These bastards!" Scrooge scolded, "Just because the transoceanic telegram is in our hands and we don't need money, they dare to write so long?" Nima's, even the rhetoric of personification and metaphor is used, and the details are described! What do they think they are writing? Writing novels or writing news reports, is it so messy with water, and it doesn't cost money to mix water? Dead bottles don't dare to be so watery! ”

"Well, that's a bit excessive. It takes up time to send the report, which is a waste of money. It's time to scold! Carol nodded and said that he still understood and supported Scrooge's frugal attitude.

"These bastards." Scrooge cursed again, then lowered his head and continued to look at the ......

……

The situation of this afternoon was completely unexpected, and he had thought that if everyone hadn't taken those 'strong pills', there would be no people dozing off because they were too tired. However, to his surprise, there was a general phenomenon of exhaustion, sleepiness and dozing off among this group of workers, and many workers were in poor spirits, making mistakes in the guide, throwing the material in the wrong place, and other mistakes, and as a result, because of these mistakes, the number of workers who were fired on this day actually reached six times the usual number. This is not the worst thing, the most terrible thing is that someone was too tired, the director's attention dropped, and he crashed into the small train in the factory and died directly.

"What's going on? It doesn't make sense, does it? Kony was surprised. According to his reasoning, the drugs that caused the people to be drowsy could only be deliberately given different drugs by Tong Guò to make the workers eat. As for the direct use of guò food to administer the medicine, he did not think about it, but this possibility was ruled out almost immediately. Because doing so would mean giving each worker two servings of medication, which is intolerable from a cost point of view. As for the fact that he and the skilled workers did not experience drowsiness, it was also very normal, because they were not the same as the heavy laborers.

In short, the failure of this prophecy has greatly reduced the prestige of Kony and other trade union members among the workers, and many of the dismissed workers left with regret for listening to the union's inference, and more workers muttered together that the company said that our labor intensity is higher than that of ordinary enterprises, so we need to use Diana pills to refresh their minds, and the statement that without Diana pills will be barabala, is actually very reasonable.

There is even a saying that it is more technical than heavy labor, and Kony, who does not know the consumption of heavy labor, has such an unreliable inference. Then there were rumors that it was unfair that Kony was doing much lighter work than the heavier workers, but was paid more than twice their wages. Some of the workers have this idea, and Kony understands it, and even he thinks that the company gives too little money to the heavy labor workers, which is unfair. He felt that these workers, whether skilled or heavy-duty, should unite to fight against the greedy capitalists so that everyone could get more money. But what Kony didn't expect was that some workers were very upset after seeing that the skilled workers were paid more than themselves, but the content of the injustice was not that they felt that they were getting less, but that they felt that the skilled workers were taking too much money. It's just hard to understand.

In fact, there is nothing difficult to understand about this kind of psychology. When the general public opinion of society is on the side of the capitalists, the workers will also be affected and brainwashed. Even in the later generations many years later, when many people saw that the workers of some state-owned enterprises worked less intensively than themselves, but did not take less money than themselves, their direct reaction was not why did he take so much? Then he scolded the monopoly for what balabala stuff, but he didn't think about it, the fact may not be that others take too much, and such work is worth so much money. It's just that the conscientious capitalists of the so-called "private enterprises" exploit too much and give too little.

Then there were rumors that it was because the skilled workers took too much, and the skilled workers were not easy to find, and in contrast, the workers engaged in physical labor were easy to find. That's why factories are constantly firing workers who are doing physical labor, and they use probationary workers and even child labor in order to save higher wages for these skilled workers. And such a ridiculous, obviously provocative rumor, there are actually many people who believe it, and even some trade union members who are engaged in heavy labor are now looking at Kony's eyes a little wrong. When Kony angrily said that this was a rumor, there would be people who said something weird on the side, "I just want to use rumors to force the truth", or "rumors are prophecies that are far ahead" and so on.

There was also a rumor that someone in the union had taken money from the capitalists. However, this rumor, Kony really thinks it is not a rumor. Kony knew that someone must have taken the capitalists' black money, and these nonsense rumors were put out by him or them. He was even sure that there was only one truth about the defeat a few days ago, and that was because we had a traitor who sold all his plans to the capitalists! The other union members also seem to believe this, such as Doyle, and Royce are all looking for who is a traitor, but the trouble is that looking at Doyle's look and meaning he seems to doubt himself, and also suspect that Royce may be a traitor, or, both are traitors. And Royce seems to be a little suspicious of himself, and he seems to be suspicious of Pat, in short, everyone seems to think that everyone but himself looks like a traitor. Even Kony himself admits that now he looks at Doyle and Royce and thinks they look like traitors, and even suspects that they are playing the trick of a thief and a thief.

"That's a good job in France." Scrooge finally finished reading the long reportage-like telegram, "They must have wanted to ask you for credit, that's why they wrote this thing so long." And in every word, you can find the meaning of 'I'm capable, come and reward me'. ”

"Scrooge, don't you think we should give them a little reward? Or use the rewards given to them to pay for their telegrams. Carol smiled.

"Of course, there will be a reward, and as for the telegram fee or something, this time it will be forgotten. After all, we didn't specifically stipulate it before. But you must beat them well, or you will not be too proud to be proud. In this case, you may lose in the next round. Scrooge said, "Reward, you can do it." ”

"They are still waiting for our guidance, what to do next, is to directly make the reputation of this union stink, and then start a new union to replace it." Carol asked.

"It's our experience in the U.S. to start our own union, but it's not necessarily a one-size-fits-all approach. The situation in Europe is different from that in the United States, where we have higher profit margins and allow workers to take a little more. In addition, we have been brainwashing those workers for many years. In this way, even if the workers know that the union and we wear the same pants, they will not have much of a problem. Even the union is still felt to be reliable. But Europe is different, we can't pay European workers that good wages, and European workers are more influenced by 'communism' and have less trust in us. Therefore, if we set up our own trade union based on the gourd, most of us will have to touch the nail. Scrooge said in a detailed analysis.

"So how do I get back to him? What's next for him? Carol asked.

Scrooge thought for a moment and replied: "First of all, find a way to continue to infiltrate the current union, and find a way to expel all the union leaders who are unwilling to join us, or accidentally drop them." In addition, it is necessary to split the trade unions into skilled workers' unions and general workers' unions. Let the workers be divided, suspicious of each other, and interfere with each other. Also, don't try to make their unions end up being what we are, and even if we control them, we want to make them look like they're on the other side of us. ”
