For the whole afternoon, both sides were arguing, and arguing, to no avail. But this is also expected.

"Until the last moment, they will never make concessions in their interests." On the way back, Fei Jin and several other worker representatives said as they walked, "In fact, they put us in a hurry, ha ha, Every day of work stoppage, their losses are tens of thousands. Moreover, they are getting closer and closer to the'Basilica Fair'. They are still carrying bank loans and all kinds of money involved. These people are in a hurry. They will not allow them to continue to delay this matter. So everyone should not be frightened by the calmness they deliberately made today. In fact, they don’t have much time left. They will continue to delay it because of the problem of the capital chain. If the factory is not allowed to run, the crisis will spread to other areas. This is something they and others behind them cannot tolerate. So, as long as we can hold on, they will definitely compromise."

Several people said this, encouraged and encouraged each other, and walked back.

"Boss Fagin." Bill suddenly said, "Will those guys take such a big loss, will they be reconciled? After the Pakistan Fair, will they change the contract back again?"

This is indeed a big problem. Even for fees, it must be admitted that this possibility exists. Even if you are more confident, you can directly remove the word possible.

"They have never been willing to compromise, but why do they have to compromise now? The reason is simple, because the workers have united and demonstrated their strength." Fagin said, "Rennes are the most realistic people. You see today, We ridiculed him and ridiculed him in this way, almost directly drawing his face with our hands. If it was me, hehe, I'm afraid I will become angry immediately."

Having said this, Fagin laughed twice and continued: "But look, is that guy angry?"

"I didn't see it." Bill shook his head, and then he said again, "So I became more and more worried. This kind of old silver coin that you can slap on his face is the most scary. Grandma's. I really want to stab him to death, otherwise I can't sleep when I think of him smiling...."

"Bill, do you think this old silver coin hates us?" Fagin asked.

"Of course, of course I hate it!" Another worker representative named George interrupted, "We are blocking his way to get rich. Can people not hate us if we are blocking people from getting rich?"

"Killing his parents and playing with his wife is not necessarily so hateful for him to stop him from getting rich."

"Since he hates us so much, why doesn't he turn his face on us?" Fagin asked again.

But this time, without waiting for everyone to answer, he directly replied: "Because he dare not, he knows that it is not worth the loss to turn his face with us. If he makes concessions to us, he will lose one pound, and if he directly conflicts with us, he will lose one. For a pound and one penny, he would not choose to conflict with us. Therefore, as long as we show our strength and make them feel that turning over with us will bring greater losses than not turning over with us, then they will not dare to confront us. Turn face. Therefore, if we want to prevent them from turning face and not admitting in the future, we must further strengthen our unity and unite our organization as a whole, so that once they take any action, we can immediately use united actions to let them bear them. An unbearable loss."

Fei Jin's words gave everyone some courage. But Fei Jin knew that it was not that simple. Because the stakes here actually extend far beyond the scope of workers and textile factory owners. There are many more terrible stakes that he didn't mention. For example, interests are also divided into short-term interests and long-term interests.

Direct confrontation with the trade union led to a general strike, which of course harmed Rennes' short-term interests as the factory owner. But if one guy can destroy the union and implement the new contract, it will be more beneficial in the long run. Moreover, if Rennes and the others decide to provoke this fight, then he will be prepared in advance, which will further reduce their short-term losses. Under such circumstances, it will naturally be very difficult to win the struggle against them.

And this is not even the worst thing, what is the worst thing? The worst thing is that it is not only the textile merchants, but even all the factory owners who find them troublesome, destroy and suppress them. Because if textile workers rely on strikes to win their own interests today, tomorrow, will their workers also follow suit? Will you also use this form to fight for your own economic benefits?

Therefore, it is not only Rennes or even the textile mill owners who are eager to destroy them, but the whole "wealthy people". The knowledge learned in Toulon told him that this whole There is also a name, it is called: "United Kingdom".

Therefore, the enemy in front of the London Textile Workers Union is by no means only those textile mill owners, but a larger and more terrifying behemoth, the United Kingdom.

Fei Jin, and the struggle between the London Textile Workers Union and this opponent, is like a child holding an embroidery needle against a challenger level 26 Taikoo Red Dragon.

However, there are some things that can't be dealt with without looking at the large gap in the balance of power. It's like a child can not grab his embroidery needles, but even if he does not grab his embroidery needles, the red dragon will not eat more tenderly when he wants to eat him.

In many cases, no matter how strong the opponent is, we can only grab our embroidery needles to fight with it. This is not for glory and justice, it is just for survival.

As an individual worker, if they have the opportunity to be a worker representative, they may act as a thief and sell other workers to get themselves thirty silver coins. But for the textile workers as a whole, they can only resist this one. The road can go.

To be honest, Rennes and the other wealthy people don't hate workers, they just treat workers as a tool, a tool for them. How can they hate such tools? Although some people are unwilling to transform from a living person into a tool. But for capital: what does it do to alienate you?

Therefore, for those who do not want to be alienated into the tool-man Chaplin described in The Gilded Age, there is only one way to resist, even if the opponent is stronger than the "Trisolaran" and we are "just bugs."

It's just these words that I can't tell everyone yet. The enemy is too powerful, so just say this now, maybe it will scare them. So Fagin thought for a while and said:

"After this incident, we must further strengthen the unity between the textile workers. And it is far from enough to rely on the textile workers. Those who are rich, they may have a lot of contradictions at ordinary times, and they want you to eat. I, I ate you. But on the issue of bullying the poor, they can reach an agreement without discussing it. Therefore, we have to fight with them and to survive, we have to organize more poor people. Textile workers, steel workers, shipyard workers, all workers should unite. The rich in the world have united long ago, and the poor in the world must also unite in order to compete with them, to suffer less, and even Not to be bullied."

The group walked in this way while chatting. Some people talked about how to strengthen the union between textile workers; some talked about how to get in touch with workers in other industries, while others were looking forward to the future. How to go to the New World and start a new life after saving enough money. People can't live without hope. In such a painful life, it is such a misty hope that supports these workers not to fall down and not to die.

On the other side, the textile mill owners also got together to discuss what to do next.

"These representatives are really difficult to deal with." A factory owner said.

"Yeah. But it's not really impossible." Rehn said, "They are alert, but no one's alertness can be maintained for a long time. There will always be times of relaxation. So it's not really impossible. It's just that they caught us by surprise, leaving us no time to react now."

"Then what do you say?" Another factory owner asked ~lightnovelpub.net~ to take a step back temporarily and restore most of the old contract. "Rehn said, "At the same time trying to divide them. "

"They are always together, how do you divide them?"

"We can bypass them and directly divide their foundation, those workers. Those workers are already starving. We only need to make a little concession, and we don’t even need to get to the starting position, so that they can feel that, this way It seems to be able to survive. Then, these people will enter the factory, at least they want to enter the factory, and then, how much can be used in it? After this period of time has passed, they will have nothing to threaten us. At that time, ha ha..."

Ryan sneered: "At that time, whoever of them took mine will send it back to me; if they eat mine, they will spit it out! In fact, if it wasn't for the Pakistan Fair, it was not just us, many The big guys have long wanted to teach them a lesson! You are still worried, will they deny our new contract in the future?"

So the "decent people" who attended the meeting laughed like a jackal. At this time, a breeze blew, and the shadow of the candle on the candlestick in the room swayed, shining the shadows of those "decent people" distorted and strange, like ghosts.
