Chapter Seventy-Eight: Impact

In the production workshop of Dasheng Yarn Factory, the windows are almost tightly closed.

Because it was too stuffy, most of the female workers wore very little, and some male workers simply came in shirtless.

In the textile workshop, a male worker is walking towards the exit with goods in his arms.

Although the male worker was shirtless, the female workers around him were not embarrassed at allβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” they had long been used to it.

Just when the male worker was only twenty or thirty steps away from the exit, the soles of his feet suddenly slipped, but fortunately a worker next to him helped him at this time, otherwise he would have fallen into the mud.

"Brother, be careful..."

After helping the worker up, the other worker shouted loudly.

"Thanks..."

Glancing at the worker who had helped him just now, the male worker said gratefully.

Seeing that the male worker understood, the other worker didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder, and went on with his work.

"It's really dangerous..."After putting the goods in a fairly clean place and wiping the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, the male worker said with some palpitations.

If he really slips, it doesn't matter if he falls into the mud, he is afraid of soiling the goods he is carrying, and then he will be in vain today. No, I should say that this week has been in vain.

"But this hellish factory is really, even if it's so hot, even the ground is so slippery..."

As he spoke, the worker picked up the goods and continued to walk outside.

In fact, the windows were closed so tightly that it was not because the factory was abusing the workers, but because it was more comfortable for the workers.

At that time, the workers not only worked long hours, but also the working conditions were quite harsh. Dasheng Yarn Factory was built and put into operation under the condition of insufficient fund-raising, Zhang Rui and others did not make further improvements to the working environment after the plant was built and the machines were moved in to start work.

On the other hand, because the factory building is not breathable, the production workshop is like a big stuffy furnace, the air is harsh, there is not enough oxygen, and it is suffocating. The workers wore very little clothing due to the heat, so they were bound to sweat when the indoor temperature was uneven. After staying in this stuffy place for a long time, they are afraid of fresh air, and as the various functions of the body gradually decline, the heat emitted by the body also decreases, which depends on the heat from the outside to maintain, so the workers feel most comfortable in the stuffy factory air with the windows closed tightly, which is why the workers will close the windows instead of opening them for ventilation.

It's just that this is comfortable, but it also brings a lot of inconvenience to the people in the factory. As I just said, due to the lack of funds, Zhang Jian and others have not made further improvements to the working environment after the construction of the plant, and as a result, the ground on the first floor is still muddy, coupled with the poor ventilation performance of the plant, the humid indoor environment makes the mud floor very slippery.

As a result, the workers in the factory often slip and fall...

"Hell, the people above have made so much money, and they don't know how to improve the environment of the factory..."

He had almost fallen just now, but the worker still seemed to be a little angry, and he still complained after coming out of the factory.

Several workers on the side heard his words and also echoed them.

"yes, I heard that I made almost a million silver dollars last year..."

"I've heard about it too..."

When it came to this, the workers immediately began to discuss it.

"You say that these bosses make so much money, why don't they want to improve our working environment?"

"What else is it because of what, pick the door, a few of these bosses don't pick the door..."Hearing the words of his companion, a thin male worker said with some disdain.

"Not necessarily," the other square-looking man shook his head. I heard that there is a very powerful boss in Anhui who treats the workers very well..."

"Really?" The emaciated male worker was a little unconvinced. "Can there be such a boss in these years?"

"I've heard about this, too...", a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy who was carrying a box next to him came over. I heard that he is a rich man surnamed Yan, and it is said that he is also a great writer, and the workers in the factory he runs only need to work eight hours a day, and there is also a hospital inside, where workers can be treated for free when they are sick and injured..."

"yes, I've heard about it, too..."

"How nice it would be to work in the hands of such a boss..."

Several people gathered around, and their words were full of envy.

The unlucky ones didn't notice that just away from them, an old man with a blank face was listening to their conversation. And behind the old man, there were a few middle-aged people who were trembling with anger.

Seeing that the workers were talking more and more, one of the middle-aged men seemed to go up to teach them a lesson, but at this time, the old man stretched out his hand to stop him, and then turned around and walked in the other direction.

After walking like this for more than ten minutes, a little unable to stand the silent atmosphere, one of the middle-aged men spoke. "Elder Zhang, do you want to send someone to prohibit the people below from talking about this matter..."

"How forbidden? The mouth grows on other people's bodies, and you can ban it if you want to? Another, younger-looking retorted.

Hearing the younger man's rebuttal, a trace of anger appeared on the middle-aged man's face just now. "Is it just a matter of letting it go? How can the workers in the factory still have the heart to work like this! ”

"yes," the other older man nodded, and said to Zhang Jian, who had not spoken. If this continues, the whole factory is discussing this matter, how can you still have the heart to work..."

"It's all the guy surnamed Yan who doesn't have anything to do, and he actually got some eight-hour work system, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have made it like this..."

"yes..."

"That bastard..."

Listening to the disputes of those cronies behind him, Zhang Jian's heart was at a loss.

It is absolutely impossible to say that he has no selfishness in this life, but he does put most of his mind on running a business. It's just that over the years, he has patronized those useless industries, but he has never considered the feelings of those workers...

Originally, this was nothing, after all, capitalists all over the country did this, but after Yan Shao appeared, he began to doubt what he had done in the past...

Yan Shao's implementation of the eight-hour work week in the factory soon spread throughout China, and many people thought that Yan Shao still had a pure heart when he was running the industry, and his moral character was naturally beyond doubt.

However, there are also many people who think that Yan Shao is not looking for trouble, and it is usually the owners or shareholders of some industries who will say this. In Zhang Jian's Dasheng Yarn Factory, there are many such people, but there are also many who are on Yan Shao's side.

And because of Yan Shao's influence, this matter soon spread to the United States and Europe.

However, compared with China, the evaluation of public opinion in Europe and the United States is much meaner.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Mr. Yan may be a successful novelist, but he is obviously not a successful businessman, and a successful businessman should try to make as much profit as possible, rather than indiscriminately spreading his kindness..."

It's no wonder that this is the case, after all, there are capitalists everywhere in Europe and the United States, and they naturally regard this kind of thing as a thorn in their side. In particular, Yan Shao's own influence in Europe and the United States is not small, and some socialists even took advantage of this to once again set off a movement to promote the eight-hour work week, which made many capitalists in Europe and the United States scold Yan Shao for not looking for trouble...

However, in any case, Yan Shao's actions are in line with history and people's hearts after all, and through this incident, Yan Shao's reputation has also stepped onto a new peak, which is probably what Yan Shao did not expect.
