Chapter 325, The Trade Union Situation (4)

Louis waited for more than two hours, and the relevant personnel: Perkins, the factory doctor, Harley, the head of the overseer, Simon, the head of the canteen, and Will and Claude, the captains and vice-captains of the factory guard, and the undercover agent in the union came to Louis's house one after another. This speed is actually very reasonable, even very fast. Because except for the duty office of the factory and the factory director's house, no one else is advanced enough to install a telephone. So you have to go and inform one person at a time. In this way, of course, the speed is slow. Fortunately, the people at that time went to bed early, so although they waited for a long time, when everyone arrived, it was just twelve o'clock.

"Very good, everyone's here, let's get started." Director Louis said to the traitor to the union, "Tell us about it first." ”

"Yes, Mr. Louie." The man bowed to Louie humbly, then stood there and said, "At first, it was Pat who brought it up that there are too many employees who have been fired because they are tired and asleep, and that it is not normal. Then the 'glasses' were the spark worker Kony, who raised his suspicions, suspecting that there was something else in the 'strong pills' given by the factory, which would lead the workers to sleepy. And he thinks it's not normal that only unskilled workers get sleepy. ”

"Ah, don't be so reserved, sit down and talk." Director Louis said.

"Thank you, Mr. Louis." The traitor said gratefully, and then carefully placed half of his ass on the couch in Louie's little drawing-room.

"And what are you going to do?" Louie asked.

"We, no, are planning to tell the workers about their conjectures, encouraging the workers not to take 'Diet Pills', and if they don't take Pills Pills, no one will be fired for dozing off, then it means that we are the devil." The traitor replied with a flattering smile, and the "we" in the back was especially smooth.

"What do you think?" Director Louis asked.

"Tell me to say, let's just do it first, and before they have time to carry out their actions, we will just fire and pull down all those guys." Harley said angrily.

"Fire them all at once, and they won't be able to make trouble?" Louie asked. Then he turned his face to the traitor and said, "Of us, you know them best, and you say, can expulsion alone deal with them?" ”

The position of "among us" immediately lightened the bones of the shameful traitor, and he hastened to reply: "Monsieur Louis, these fellows have a great appeal among the workers, and can deceive many of them. If they were to be expelled, they might lead to a strike. ”

"Ah, that's right." Louis nodded, "We don't want a strike, which would jeopardize our production plans and the completion of our contracts." ”

"Otherwise, I'll bring my brothers over tonight, and let those guys disappear from the world without knowing it, and see who can still bring the workers to make trouble." Captain Will said viciously.

"What do you think of this?" Louis said to the traitor, "What will happen if they are all missing, will there be a strike?" What will the workers think? ”

"It's hard to say." The traitor thought for a moment and said, "Without them taking the lead, it would be difficult to strike for a while." But the workers are suspicious. So as long as the union sends someone else to pick it up, there will almost certainly be a strike. ”

This is one of the more troublesome things in Europe than in the Americas. In Europe, the workers had more experience of struggle, were better organized, and were more difficult to deal with.

"Then don't touch them yet." Louis said, "Perkins, is there any way to make them sleepy without taking our medicine?" ”

Perkins thought for a moment and replied, "Putting a small amount of medicine directly into the food, and increasing the intensity of labor in the morning, will cause widespread exhaustion." In this way, in the afternoon, there will be a large area of sleepiness, and there will be more people dozing off than usual. However, these drugs have a certain flavor and need to find a way to cover it up. ”

"That's easy, just ask the cafeteria guys to add more salt." "We assume we don't know about it." Give them the medicine in the same way, and let them not take it. I believe that even if they don't take it, they will keep the pills with them. When the general drowsiness comes up, some of them will naturally take the 'strong pill', and then these people will be able to drive away the drowsiness. And those who insist on not eating will doze off, so that no one will believe their guesses. In the meantime, Harley, you're going to have to keep an eye on the mistakes of those who get sleepy because they didn't eat, punish them severely, and fire them all! More expulsions than usual. Do you understand? ”

"I understand, Monsieur Louie!" Harley replied.

"Excellent! As for you," Louis turned to the traitor again, "after this their prestige among the workers will certainly diminish, and at this time you must find a way to spread among the workers the following words: first, that the skilled workers are not dismissed because they are doing easy work, and of course they are not sleepy. Second, it's not fair that skilled workers get more money while doing it easily. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, Mr. Louis, I see."

"Do a good job and take this opportunity to get the union into your hands. We won't do you any wrong. Louie said.

"Thank you, Monsieur Louie!" The traitor said.

……

The next day, under the activities of Kony and others, almost all the workers knew about their speculation. As Kony reckoned, people would be more willing to trust unions in this kind of thing. This is because what the trade union says is reasonable, and the second is because the trade union is its own people and reliable. As for the factories, everyone knows that the rich capitalists are not things.

When it was time for lunch, everyone also paid attention, and when the workers got the pills after eating, they all pretended to swallow the pills by pouring water from their cups. Out of the cafeteria, they put the little pills in their pockets and went to work.

……

"Monat, why do I feel so sleepy today, how are you?" Sid said to his new partner, Monat.

"I feel sleepy too." "It's very sleepy," Monat said. Monat yawned heavily, "You said, the factory said, because we give a little more money here, so the amount of labor is also greater, and we will be very sleepy without 'strong pills', is it true?" I've never been so sleepy before. ”

"Ah......" Yawning is contagious, and Sid yawned a big yawn: "Kony is not a person who can talk nonsense, but he is really sleepy today." ”

"Do you want to take the medicine given by the factory? Maybe it's really like what the factory says, it can be refreshing and replenishing the body. Monat asked.

"But what if ......," Sid hesitated.

"You two don't hurry up and push the cart! Where to ramble on what? Nearby, the roar of Overseer Harley was heard.

"Mr. Halley, we're pushing." Sid replied loudly, pushing the cart vigorously. The trolley slowly moved along the rails towards the front.

"I'm sleepy, Sid, I can't hold it anymore, let's stop, I'll take the pills." Monat said.

"Wait...... Wait a minute. Sid struggled to prop up his heavy eyelids, "Harley's vicious dog is still around, we can't stop." Brace it up and eat it when you get to the place. ”

The two men pushed the car and stumbled forward, if it weren't for the fact that the car itself was on fixed steel rails, I am afraid that the car full of quicklime would have been pushed into the ditch by them.

"Like...... Looks like Harley is far away, right? Monat looked back, and he didn't see Harley. So he put one hand on the car, followed with one foot and one foot shallow, and as he reached into his pocket with the other hand, he pulled out the pill and shoved it into his mouth.

After swallowing the pill, it did not have an immediate effect. This is natural, and it will take time for the drug to dissolve in the body. But the thought that "I've taken the refreshment drug" encouraged Monat. Sometimes people's perception of their own physical state can really change their physical state. In medical practice, sometimes, when faced with a patient and there is no medicine available to treat him, the doctor will often give him some loose pills and tell him that this is a special medicine for the treatment of this disease. And after the patient eats it, he will really feel as if his condition has been alleviated. But in fact, the cost of this special drug is completely starch, and it actually has no effect on curing diseases. This is called a placebo. Due to the influence of the human spirit, the placebo also has an effect, and it can cure the disease.

Now the effect of such a placebo has affected Monat, which makes Monat's spirits suddenly perk. So he pushed the cart with both hands and said to Sid, who was obviously sleepy, "Sid, that medicine works." I'll push first, you follow, eat the medicine quickly! ”

The voice came just right, and Sid was almost asleep. This sentence lifted his spirits a little more, he put one hand on the body, and the other hand in his pocket randomly felt the "strong pill" and then slammed it into his mouth.

The effect of placebo is not the same for different people, it is like hypnosis. Some people are susceptible to all kinds of suggestion, and the placebo suggestion will have a stronger effect on him, and on the contrary, it will be weaker, or even no effect at all. However, Sid is not the kind of person who is so determined that he is completely unaffected by psychological suggestion, although he is not as sensitive as Monat, but he also feels a lot better after the pill is down.

The two of them pushed the cart hard, and the medicinal power of the "Powerful Pill" gradually dissolved in their bodies, and the fatigue and fatigue began to really leave them. At this time, they also realized that what the factory said to them was true
