Chapter 16: Humiliation

There are two reasons why Heideler wanted to meet this kid named Doolin.

The first reason is that his current position is very sensitive and embarrassing, in the eyes of the Ogdings, the Gualts are a "conquered race", and for the Ogding people with a strong sense of superiority, the Gualts are "inferior", unwelcome losers. Now a loser can become one of the thirty-six members of the Chamber of Commerce, which is unbearable for many people.

If it weren't for Heidler's constant caution to avoid revealing his flaws as much as possible, I am afraid that he would have been voted to be removed from his post.

Therefore, he needs a force, a force that can support him until even if others have opinions about him, he has to pinch his nose and admit it. This force he had been hesitating for a long time was the power of the scattered Guerts. Once the Gualts are united, coupled with his guidance and command, for the sake of the stability of the empire, both the official and the Chamber of Commerce must take care of him, the "leader" among the Gualts.

Only in this way will he be able to continue to grow his strength.

The second reason is actually a continuation of the first reason, that Heideler needed someone to help him, not commercially, but to do something for him that would not see the light.

There is a saying in the circles of capitalists, "When you are kind, you have to face countless demons", this sentence does not seem to be too much of a problem, but the other core is the attitude of the capitalists and the attitude of the exploited. The former cement tycoon Doverk was very kind to the workers, in addition to giving them higher wages than workers in other industries, he also gave some welfare benefits, and always mingled with the workers.

Later, Doverk encountered business resistance, and his rivals combined to form a new company, with which he began a brutal business competition head-on. The other side tore apart the market defense of Doverk with cheaper labor costs and cheaper cement, and in order to protect itself, Doverke had to reduce the treatment and welfare of workers in order to face the pain caused by malicious price bidding.

Just when both sides had suffered heavy losses and were ready to stop there, Dovalk's workers went on strike.

The reason is simple, they demand a return to the high wages and benefits they used to have, refusing to pay for cutthroat business competition. In less than a month, the Dovalke Cement Company, which once had a market share of more than 65 percent, stopped production due to labor problems, the market was embezzled, and the former cement king declared bankruptcy. The huge market and the legacy of assets were immediately swallowed by the crocodiles in the capital market, and Mr. Doverke, who was once infinitely beautiful, jumped off the top floor of the Empire State Building, leaving a pool of dark blood for his brilliant life.

This is not a problem that Duo Verke needs to face alone, it is a problem that almost all capitalists need to face. The workers, with the support and manipulation of the workers' unions, already have the capital to oppose and fight against the capitalists. As soon as the workers' unions believe that a capitalist is hurting the interests of the workers' members, they will launch resistance actions such as marches and strikes, and if the situation worsens, they will also take the measures of banning the workers' union members from working in their company's factories, leaving a company unusable for a moment.

Is it true that the workers' unions are already able to stand on the same level as the capitalists?

Actually, it's not, because the capitalists have money and there are people.

Needless to say, the people here refer to those forces who are not very visible, so to speak, gang members, or idle vagrants in society who lack work. They will use the threat of force and coercion to prevent strikes and marches, and even threaten certain leaders of the workers' unions with death to make them compromise. Of course, in fact, the most common means is to spend money to buy.

Heidler didn't have many people in his hands, he was being watched by the Ogdings, and if he did these things with his own hands, he would inevitably be targeted, so he desperately wanted someone to be the sharpest knife in his hand and do for him what he could think of but couldn't.

The association is a good opportunity, he has money, he doesn't care about spending money, as long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter how much money he spends.

Therefore, Heideler very much wants to meet with Doolin as soon as possible and support the development of the association, and it must be as soon as possible.

The establishment of the Fellow Townsfolk Association did not attract anyone's attention, and even if Heideler and Durin met, it would not cause any trouble. But if the townsfolk association develops well and attracts the attention of some forces, when he meets with Du Lin again, some people will begin to speculate and doubt his purpose.

So early the next morning, as soon as Durin came out of the workshop, he saw two guys in suits.

"Someone wants to see you, come with us. One of them looked polite, with short hair, gold-rimmed eyes, and a well-dressed suit that gave him the style of a successful person. Although he looked at Durin with a gentle smile in his eyes, the contempt and disdain hidden in his eyes were still discovered by the sensitive Durin, who had dreamed for decades, and had seen many such people in his dreams.

But Du Lin wisely did not show it, the other party had more clothes and accessories than all his savings combined, in this society where capital is king, money is the measure of a person's success or not, whether they are strong or not. He doesn't have that standard yet, plus he hasn't offended such people, so he thinks he's safe. But he called Graff along, and the two of them got into the new horse with a roof from last year.

The space in the car is not small, and when the curtains are closed, the car and the outside world become two worlds, and the guy who looks very Sven keeps smirking all the time, he purses his lips, "My name is Ramas, and this time I will follow Mr. Heidler's request to pick you up to meet him." Before meeting Mr. Heidler, I need to remind you of a few points. He glanced at the silent Duhrin and the excited Graff, and shook his head imperceptibly, "Don't look him in the eye without Mr. Heidler's permission to speak." Don't shout, don't use vulgar language, and don't speak with swear words and the slang of your streets. ”

"Before you speak, you should consider whether what you are saying is appropriate, whether you can clearly express what you mean, try to speak as clearly as possible, and do not add body language, so as to maintain your dignity as much as possible. ”

Durin didn't look any different from before, but inexplicably there was a flame churning deep inside him. He looked at the same Mr. Ramas with the same hypocritical smile and nodded.

Ramas smiled with satisfaction, but he didn't know that he had offended Doolin, and that they had made a feud, and that they were mortal enemies.

Every word he uttered was in Duhring's ears an insult to him, a denial of all that he had, and a slander of his malice. Rasma was trampling on his self-esteem, trampling on his personality, trampling on his dignity. His high-minded, spicy chicken eyes, piercing Doolin's self-esteem and personality, Dohrin swore that if he had the chance, no!

But not now.

Compared to the anger and humiliation in Durin's deep heart, Graff, a fool, listened very carefully, and kept nodding his head with excitement.

It was because of Mr. Heidler's intervention that Graff's previous case prevented him from going through the prison, and he was grateful to the big man he had never seen before, and even felt that this big man was the guardian of all Gualts. Otherwise, how could such a high-ranking big man help a small person he had never seen?

In silence, the car slowly stopped outside a manor on the outskirts of Turnell City, and Mr. Rasma got out of the car and opened the door, told them to go down, and pointed to the door, "Someone will take you to Mr. Heidler, I have other things to do, so I take my leave." ”

After the two had taken a few steps, Durin suddenly stopped, and he glanced back, just in time to see Mr. Ramas wiping down where they had been with a handkerchief, and then dropping it on the ground.

Durin turned his head and took a deep breath, holding back the inexplicable anger and humiliation in his heart. He didn't know that this was everything he had experienced in his dreams, and he was quietly transforming his three views and personality.

"What's the matter?", Graff said with his elbow, smashing Durin, with concern, "your face is not good-looking, did you sleep too late yesterday? God, we are about to meet Mr. Heidler, you must adjust yourself." ”

Durin couldn't help but sneer, "So you want to treat yourself as a stray dog and roll up your tail?", he knew that he shouldn't say it as soon as he said this.

Graff was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "When you meet Mr. Heidler, you'll know what kind of man he is." ”

There is a saying that the Tao is not the same, and Durin just looked at a Graff and did not refute it. He took a deep breath, straightened his spine, and walked into the manor with his head held high like a victorious general.

Looking at the beautiful gardening, looking at the well-dressed gardeners carefully trimming the green branches and leaves, his heart drifted far away.

No one can trample on my dignity and force me to smile at him!

No one!
