After listening to Wen Hong's narration, Le Yu discovered that this matter really had something to do with him.
Based on the information from Yin Yin Yin, Bai Ye's businessman took the initiative to contact the poet and offered to buy the glass factory at a high price. The poet was naturally overjoyed and ignored the rules and regulations of the Silver Blood Association and directly transferred the glass factory to Bai Ye.
Then Bai Ye repaired the factory and recruited workers, and planned to use the glass factory as a stronghold to accumulate strength, develop revolutionary masses, build high walls, and hoard food, always preparing to overthrow the Silver Blood Society.
Everything was going smoothly, but when the factory was about to start operation, trouble finally arose.
In fact, the trouble was not directed at Bai Ye, but at all factories in Xuanzhu County: the Jing family took the lead in uniting multiple chambers of commerce, while simultaneously lowering workers' wages and launching a new welfare system.
The so-called welfare system is the social animal hierarchy system proposed by Jing Zhengtang at the family banquet, such as bronze, silver and gold. This year you are black iron, next year you are silver, and the year after that you will be a high-level gold worker!
In short, it’s just a pie. As for you if you want to eat this pie, you can work hard to mine for me first.
Originally, with the influx of Tianji refugees and the backlog of goods that could not be sold, the chamber of commerce had long planned to reduce wages and lay off employees. Now that the Jing family is taking the lead, they will naturally follow up immediately - they plan to observe the welfare system for a while.
But everyone thinks lowering wages is a wise choice.
It is much easier for capitalists to unite than the masses at the bottom. The market is currently in a slump, and other factories actually have the same mentality. They are just afraid that they will not be able to suppress the workers, so they dare not move. Now Yinxue will give them a good reason:
Brothers workers, it’s not me, a capitalist with a bad heart, but the Silver Blood Society who forces me. If I don’t follow the masses, the Silver Blood Society will target me!
This is not just a reason: the essence of the Silver Blood Association is that a group of capitalists unite to monopolize.
Usually, there are constant internal struggles within the Silver Blood Association. You annex this chamber of commerce, I annex that factory, and there are intrigues. These are all internal struggles of the class. But once they encounter the idea of a bad economy, they will work together to unite.
Get up and transfer the pressure to the bottom!
Moreover, the target of the Silver Blood Chamber of Commerce is not only the bottom, but also many small chambers of commerce. If the small chamber of commerce cannot survive, it will be annexed by the Silver Blood Chamber of Commerce and turned into food!
The glass factory encountered such a situation. Originally, the gap in glass products in Xuanzhu County was not very big. Now that wages have dropped, the other two glass factories can grab glass orders at cheaper prices.
In fact, they are not just trying to grab orders, they even want to force new competitors to death - if it is a poet, they may have to worry a little bit, but for a new small chamber of commerce, they don't need to care at all!
When Baiye's glass factory can no longer hold on, they can easily buy it at a cheap price!
Either Baiye will follow up with price cuts to grab orders, but this will inevitably lead to losses; or Baiye will also lower workers' wages, which can at least maintain a profit balance.
But in this way, Bai Ye discovered a problem - if they all survive by exploiting workers, what is the difference between them and those capitalists who cut leeks?
It is an eternal truth that the butt determines the head.
"...We feel that the focus of this crisis is still the Jing family. In terms of the number of workers, the Jing family has the largest number." Wen Hong said: "As long as the Jing family persists, then this joint wage reduction will become a reality.
But if they can't withstand the pressure and spit out the meat in their mouths, workers from other chambers of commerce will definitely make a fuss, and the wage reduction will naturally go away. Other glass factories cannot squeeze workers to gain more profit margins.
Naturally, they will not start a price war with us, but will find ways to lay off workers and reduce production, so that our factory can at least gain some breathing time."
Le Yu asked: "Then you are planning to go on strike and cause trouble?"
Wen Hong nodded, then shook his head: "But according to our survey, workers in other factories have great resistance. Only the workers in the Jing family almost fully accept this change."
"Why?" After Le Yu asked, he suddenly realized the reason.
And Wen Hong's answer was just as he expected: "System."
“Entry-level workers are all bronze workers. After 800 days of working experience, they can be promoted to silver workers. Silver workers have more wages, shorter working hours, and various benefits. If they perform well, they will take on the position of team leader;
Promoted to gold workers on the 1500th, gold workers have better pay, and if they perform well, they can even take on supervisory positions - although their wages have dropped, they feel they have more to look forward to and don't want to cause trouble."
At this time, Wen Hong glanced at Le Yu: "After reading the inspirational stories in Youth Daily, many workers felt that although they could not be as diligent, resourceful and perseverant as the protagonist in it, as long as they worked hard in the Jing family, they might be able to achieve success.
One day I will be able to stand out..."
Depend on!
Get ahead by working part-time!?
Le Yu never expected that his Youth Daily would be used by the Jing brothers - Tian Lian could see that the inspirational stories he wrote were obviously sarcastic.
It’s not about the worker who bought a shop and got rich with the 5 gold yuan he saved and the 995 gold yuan given by the rich woman;
It is about the worker who relied on perseverance and wisdom to become a boss and lick the dog, and finally embezzled a large amount of money as the first pot of gold.
Isn't it written both inside and outside: working hard will lead to a dead end, using crooked ways to make the family rich, and revolutionizing the boss's life is the only way out for modern youth.
How can they still see that "you can get ahead by working part-time"?
Is it because the editors wrote too obscurely and the flavor is not strong enough?
Or do they only see what they want to see?
But Le Yu also had to admit that the hierarchical system was indeed very confusing.
I feel like the third issue of "Youth Daily" has to include "Chen She's Family". A serious illness requires strong medicine!
"...Then what does Bai Ye want me to do?"
Wen Hong looked at Le Yu and said: "According to our intelligence, the four sons of the Jing family are now fighting for the head of the family, and this salary reduction is jointly led by Jing Zhengwu, Jing Zhengtang, and Jing Zhengfeng. The only one who has not ended up.
It's Jing Zhengwei who is running the newspaper..."
"If the three brothers really succeed, then the balance of victory will tilt in their favor. If we guessed correctly, Jing Zhengwei must be very upset because of this news."
Le Yu: No, I just heard the news. Writing novels is very tiring. I don’t have time to play cards or listen to gossip. I spend the whole day lying in front of the table typing, and I don’t even have time to relax.
"We plan to send people to set fire to the three brothers' factory and store and destroy the goods." Wen Hong said calmly: "We hope you...'Yin Yin Yin', do you have any way to influence Jing Zhengwei and let Jing Zhengwei become the head of the Jing family?"
Accusing the other brothers of their failed behavior in front of them, so that the three brothers can stop themselves?"
After saying that, Wen Hong also felt that this request was too much, so she quietly closed her mouth and waited for Yin Yin Yin's response.
'Yin Yin Yin' fell into silence. Wen Hong took advantage of this time to look at all the details of her body: peach blossom eyes, slender legs, arms like spilled milk, and a good smell exuding from her body.
From the smell, her buttocks were slightly raised, and her chest seemed to be very flat, which made Wen Hong envious.
Wen Hong is now completely convinced that 'Yin Yin Yin' is Jing Zhengwei's current female companion - Qing Lan!
Look at this figure, this skin, these eyebrows. If you say this is a man, who would believe it?
Although her male voice sounds natural, it is obviously used to deceive others. That crisp and clear female voice is her true voice!
Suddenly, Wen Hong saw a particularly fair skin on the elbow of ‘Yin Yin Yin’.
That's new skin after the injury has healed.
After discovering one, Wen Hong quickly found more similar traces in other places: collarbone, neck, fingers... just the exposed skin of 'Yinyin', there were actually three or four traces of wound healing!
Under her clothes, how many traces of abuse were there?
For a moment, Wen Hong wanted to hold her hand, take her back to her home, and not let her go back - what kind of abuse did she experience from Jing Zhengwei to end up with such an injury that was like a bloody battle?
She shouldn't have to endure such pain, she's just a beautiful girl about my age...
But soon, Wen Hong calmed down her mood and suppressed her sympathy.
She is not qualified to judge other people's lifestyles, let alone save others on her own.
Baiye will not sacrifice its members to take care of the overall situation.
Therefore, it is common sense for White Night Walkers to sacrifice themselves voluntarily.
Not only could she not sympathize, she even had to respect the choice of Yin Yin Yin. Otherwise, she would not only trample on the other person's dignity, but also trample on Bai Ye's ideals.
After waiting for several minutes, she finally got a response: "I don't think... it's possible."
"I understand." Wen Hong said immediately: "We were presumptuous."
"No, I mean, you just set fire to the goods, that's not good." Le Yu's eyes lit up: "The goods are gone. As long as there are materials and workers, the factory can produce a batch soon."
"You have to rush into the factory and destroy the means of production! That means destroying the machines in the Jing family factory! Only such serious losses can truly threaten the capitalists!"
Wen Hong was stunned and nodded: "Okay, I will discuss it with the branch when I get back..."
"Also, you can't just target Jing Zhengwu, Jing Zhengtang, and Jing Zhengfeng," Le Yu said: "You must also target Jing Zhengwei's factory!"
Wen Hong said: "But Jing Zhengwei did not take the pay cut this time. If we also beat him, it seems..."
Le Yu said categorically: "To deal with this kind of capitalist, there is no need to talk about moral principles. If necessary, we must strike hard and leave no one behind!"
Wen Hong blinked, and suddenly his heart was touched. He couldn't help but hold Le Yu's hand and nodded heavily: "Okay, no problem! I promise you, Bai Ye will definitely send someone to destroy Jing Zhengwei's factory!"
Sister, I can only help you this much.
I can understand your hatred for Jing Zhengwei.
White Night Walker, I will definitely breathe a sigh of relief for you!
