While the seven representatives were still in a dazed state, Lynch continued.

"I, the state government, have never said that we are not willing to raise wages. Some people have misunderstood what we meant."

"And their purpose for doing this is to get more benefits for themselves!"

"The benefits of exploiting you!"

At this time, these young people also realized that if they could not understand human language at this time, it would be difficult for them to be elected as representatives.

People outside know very well who is smart and who is stupid. They will only elect smart people to represent themselves, not fools.

The changes in the expressions of several people also confirmed that Lynch's words had entered their hearts.

One of them, who seemed to be the youngest, asked directly, "Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Lynch shook his head, "No, you understand, it's just that you don't want to admit it."

"I have told people from the workers' union before that we will meet reasonable demands."

"You think the wages are low and you want to raise them, but within a reasonable range, we won't agree without reason."

"General labor is 160 cents, and there is no problem in raising it to 175 cents for you, but if you want to get 3 yuan or 5 yuan, this is obviously impossible."

"Besides, we all know that even if we agree to those people's request and increase the salary to three to five yuan, will you really be able to get the money?"

The souls were tortured, and the expressions of the seven people did indeed undergo greater changes.

In fact, their current salary is one dollar and fifty cents, which is ten cents less than what Lynch said.

Ten cents doesn't seem like much, it's only three yuan a month, which is equivalent to two days' wages missing.

But what if this number is enlarged?

One thousand people, ten thousand people, each person is exploited three yuan a month, which is three thousand, thirty thousand!

This is enough to give them some ideas.

Secondly, Lynch exaggerated a little. The capitalists’ idea was to raise the wage to about two yuan.

In other words, it is to make up for the wage increase that has not been increased in the past two years.

However, they will not give all the increased wages to these workers.

The nature of capital and capitalists determines that in the primary stage, exploitation and oppression are the most appropriate means of accumulation.

Therefore, the concept he instilled in these workers was very vague, and he changed the ordinary labor wages that the merchants originally wanted to three to five yuan.

This is a very vague concept, and it is this vague concept that gives people more room for imagination.

People have desires since birth.

This is nothing to be ashamed of.

The desire to live allows people to understand their heartbeat, breathing, and need to eat as soon as they are born.

The desire of cells to seek immortality allows people to learn to reproduce.

It’s not scary to have desires, but what’s scary is being eroded by desires.

After Lin Qi said these words, the breathing rhythm of the seven people became a little confused.

Thirty-five yuan.

At least three yuan, at most five yuan. I know it’s impossible, but what if it happens?

If you don’t agree to it for five yuan, what if you agree to it for three yuan?

But are these three dollars their wages?

They don't think so.

And through Lynch's expression, these people also learned things they didn't know before.

At this time, the rhythm and initiative are all in Lynch's hands.

"Since the local workers are willing to elect you as representatives, let's put aside these things and talk about it."

"If you are willing to work, I will make the decision here and raise your wages to one dollar and seventy-five cents."

"The wages at other levels will increase accordingly, but I cannot guarantee that your company can give you this price. Do you understand?"

"They may still pay you the salary according to the previous salary, so even if there is a problem, the problem is not on our side."

By the time he said this, the seven representatives had roughly understood what Lynch meant.

The Federals were willing to raise wages, but they were actually quite satisfied with seventy-five cents a dollar.

After all, the price is generally the same in Nagaril now, and it is even cheaper in some areas in the west.

But whether they can get it or not is another question.

It can't even be called a negotiation, just like an ordinary exchange.

Soon the seven people went downstairs, and the crowd gathered together again. People asked them how their conversation went.

In the office, Catherine was asking for more details.

She really didn't know enough about these things before.

"If you all give wages to workers, how do you make money?"

What Catherine was curious about was Lynch's previous construction company. Nell's accident, the full-scale war broke out, and half of Nagaril fell, causing many companies to disappear.

Lynch knew what she wanted to ask, but the question actually missed the point.

The professor seemed to be thinking about this question as well. After Catherine asked it, she looked over here.

Lynch was very patient, "Actually, you have confused a concept, and at the same time, the business model of local capitalists is too low-level."

"When we work, we will quote based on the total cost of the project, rather than quoting individual labor prices like they do."

"In this way, our quotation has no direct relationship with the specific wages of workers. The part that excludes all costs is the company's profit."

"And these local people, they are still in a budding state where they don't fully understand business."

"They are actually more like managers of a construction team, bringing people to work and then negotiating how much money each person can get."

"The reason why they can cause the problems you are facing now is that, on the one hand, there are too many of them, and secondly, the special business atmosphere here."

So when Catherine called Lynch to talk about this problem, Lynch didn't think it was such a difficult problem to solve from the beginning.

This is not a war on one level!

It's not even a fight, this is crushing!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Federal capitalism has developed for two to three hundred years, while Nagaril's capitalism has just sprouted. When they do business, they are still imitating the capitalists of the Federation.

But their understanding of capital is not thorough enough, so the way to make money is still focused on exploitation.

This is actually a phenomenon created unintentionally by federal capitalists.

If the federal people hire Nagaril people to work, whether they are squeezing or exploiting them, they will eventually cause some minor troubles.

To put it simply, it is the bad behavior of capitalism.

To put it harshly, to put it a little higher, it means that foreigners are exploiting the Nagali people.

This is an issue that can rise to the level of national hatred!

But when capitalists hire Nagali companies and let them manage Nagali people, they have no such considerations.

Just like Asr, sometimes some decisions are not made by him, but in the end the conflicts will focus on him.

Especially the locals, they will think that Asr is a traitor who helps foreigners exploit themselves. Their hatred towards foreigners is there, but not strong!

There is real hatred for Asr!

It is this kind of behavior that has led to the current capital development process of Nagaril being interfered with and distorted by external forces.

Many people are working for foreigners, and the United Development Company, the largest foreign capital in Nagaril, is gradually fading into the background.

Standing in the foreground are various joint ventures disguised as local companies in Nagaril, or local companies controlled by foreign capital.

It sounds a bit complicated. In fact, to put it bluntly, the company is owned by foreigners, but the people working are all locals.

There are more and more foreign-funded enterprises with mainly local employees, and the development of local capital power has become less smooth.

Their methods are simple and naive compared to federal capitalists, just like what Catherine is facing now.

Lynch's solution is actually not new, which is to increase workers' wages but reduce the total project cost.

Not willing to do it?

Very simply, the role of workers' unions is reflected.

"At that time, I will arrange some people to supervise the project and ask the union to cooperate, so that we can skip the middleman."

"As for whether they will continue to make trouble..."

Lynch grinned, "They didn't have a chance to do that!"

The fact is indeed what Lynch thought.

These seven representatives quickly told everyone about the state government's willingness to raise wages to one dollar and seventy-five cents, and at the same time began to discuss another issue -
