The early morning sky is a little dim, and the dark clouds that have not been seen for many days seem to come to join the fun today. The wet and stuffy air makes many people feel depressed. The city that should have been noisy is still quiet, but there are more and more pedestrians on the road.
Many businessmen gathered in Dooling''s office. They were worried and anxious. No one here would like to strike, which meant that the construction period would be delayed and the expenses would become greater.
This is not a good thing.
More and more people gathered in the street, but it was definitely not as many as bujo thought. Some people will follow the opinions of the workers'' Union. They are used to listening to the suggestions and requirements of the workers'' Union. Some people who should appear do not appear. Not everyone will be at the mercy of the workers'' Union.
Simon, for example, should have appeared in the street with his own people, and then walked down the street holding up the placard made by the workers'' Union overnight and shouting unified slogans. But just last night, he suddenly changed his mind. He decided to go on strike, but did not participate in the parade.
"There are not as many people as expected!" bujo was a little unhappy. He didn''t know how many people came, but he certainly didn''t come as many as expected. At least he didn''t fill the streets, and the streets in the distance were still empty. He didn''t know who he was talking to, maybe to himself. He doesn''t like these disobedient workers. These people don''t even understand that he did it not for himself, but for them.
Without the existence of workers'' unions, capitalists would try their best to exploit their labor force, give them meager wages, squeeze their blood and sweat, and then kick them out. Is such a thing happening less? If it were not for the help of the workers'' Union, why would those injured and disabled workers get a large amount of compensation from the capitalists? If there are no artificial people, how can their welfare be guaranteed?
Stupid!
This is the definition given by bujo to these people. He sorted out his mood, then looked at more than 30 foremen, gently touched his head, and the parade began.
Strike and parade always seem to be inseparable brothers. As long as there is a strike, there must be a parade. The foreman took the workers walking down the street with all kinds of signs. They shouted deafening slogans, one by one as if they were the families of the injured worker or the just messengers who were jealous of evil.
"Look, there''s a reporter over there!"
Standing on the fourth floor of the city hall, Dooling pointed to some reporters holding cameras and lighting magnesium lights on the street. There was no nervous expression on his face. It seems that his calm appearance affected these investors in the room and made them feel a little relaxed.
"Mayor Doolin, how do you plan to deal with this massive strike parade?", the speaker is Lyon. He invested in a shopping center in Otis, covering an area of more than 4000 square meters and a total of 10 floors. After completion, it can be regarded as one of the three largest shopping centers in Otis, with a total investment of more than 15 million.
His face showed a worried look. One more day''s delay in the construction period meant that he needed to pay one more day''s money for these unemployed workers. It was not the first time for the workers'' Union to deal with him, and he was deeply touched by their hegemony. They went on strike and marched, but they still paid him according to the working hours of ten hours a day.
Durin smiled easily. "Don''t worry, Mr. Lyon, I promise that all of you will have workers working on the construction site in no more than three days. They are more hardworking and won''t have too many unreasonable requirements."
What did durin''s words remind investors all over the room? Lyon couldn''t wait to ask, "do you mean you mobilized a group of workers from other places?" he shook his head sadly, "It''s no use. No matter where the workers come from, most of them will join the workers'' Union. Finally, we still need to face the unreasonable requirements of the workers'' Union.", he hesitated and said, "in fact, we might as well give the money to the injured worker, so things will calm down."
"Wrong!"
Durin''s sonorous and powerful words shocked everyone in the room, "When a child needs a toy and you refuse him, he will cry or roll on the ground. If you compromise at this time, he will realize that it is useful. When his later requirements are not met, he will frequently use this way to force you to compromise. You can either meet his requirements or choose other ways."
"Here I am, I will choose to beat him up and let him know who is my father!"
"I have absolute control over the workers I transferred. I don''t need to worry about them turning to the workers'' Union. I can assure each of you here. I can promise that if the construction period is more than a week later than expected after they are in place, I will compensate you for your losses. Similarly, if they are completed ahead of schedule, are you willing to pay more commissions?"
Some investors looked down for a moment and thought that there would be no loss in reaching such an agreement with Dooling, and the earlier the construction period was completed, the greater the potential benefits would be. The least investment projects of investors who dared to invest here reached 2 million. While they had great courage, they also had outstanding business vision, and they could understand that they would be completed earlier , it will become people''s choice one day earlier and cultivate inertial consumer groups one step earlier.
In such an atmosphere, under Du Lin''s explanation, everyone immediately relaxed and reached an agreement with Du Lin one after another. There will be an additional reward of 100000 yuan for completing the construction period three days earlier and 30000 yuan a week earlier. If they can be more than 15 days earlier, they are willing to give a reward of 100000 yuan.
"I want to thank you for your generosity for the coming workers. Let''s continue to pay attention to the following parade!" Turin''s words drew everyone''s attention back to the parade.
Bujo has been observing the flashing figures behind the window of the city hall. He looked at his watch. It has been 20 minutes since the strike began, but up to now, there is no contact person or negotiator to contact him to express the willingness of the city hall and capitalists to compromise. He knew that these people were holding on or discussing countermeasures. He smiled confidently and watched the procession move from the gate of the city hall to the city center. He also followed the procession.
You''ll always give in!
The reporter invited by buqiao was filming the procession. Even Doolin saw that the man carrying heavy video equipment was filming. That was his man, from Empire Star Media. The parade would not only be reported in the newspaper, but also be presented to everyone with a real picture among the mainstream middle and high-yield classes to tell you what kind of "strike parade" it was.
As the team began to enter the center of the city, Turin took back his eyes. He asked dove to send some wine and paradise. Then there was a relaxed salon. Turin wanted to discuss the future and development of Otis with them.
At the same time, Savi in the parade wore shabby clothes, held up signs and shouted slogans, but he looked at the surrounding streets from time to time. When he saw a jewelry store run by local people, he suddenly rushed out of the crowd. While shouting and hitting the capitalists, he swung a wooden stick from nowhere and broke the window of the jewelry store.
The broken glass lay on the ground quietly, and the jewels behind the original glass were exposed to the free air. Savi grabbed the jewelry with one hand, stared at the shopkeeper stunned by the sudden change in the shop, and shouted fiercely, "hit these businessmen, ugly capitalists!"
There was a brief riot in the parade. Some young people watched Savi put a lot of valuable jewelry into his pockets, and some restless workers stepped out of the formation and quickly stuffed the jewelry into their pockets.
More and more young people seem to be infected and begin to attack roadside shops, rob their goods, and even beat up shop owners who protect their private finances.
The riot alerted the team. Some even shouted slogans like "the law is not responsible for the public", and then rushed to the shops that have not been smashed. Finally, the team was completely in chaos.
Savi squeezed out of the crowd with his pocket full of jewelry. He took out a burning bottle from his loose clothes, lit it and threw it to the smashed jewelry store. In a moment, the flame soared, and the heat wave severely stimulated the workers who joined the smashing team.
The front of the procession was completely chaotic, and the riot spread like a terrible plague. The procession entering the city center was completely chaotic!
When the news was fed back to bujo, his face immediately changed greatly. The parade is officially allowed. You must first submit the time, route and slogan of the parade and ensure the safety of marchers and non marchers. If there is such a riot, it will not be a parade, it will be a riot, it will be a riot!
He immediately rushed towards the city center and didn''t care about his new pair of twenty-eight yuan leather shoes.
But he ran too slowly, and the changes of the riots were too fast. He ran in five minutes for a 20 minute journey, but what he saw was a crowd of people beating, smashing, looting and burning everywhere, and a large number of innocent citizens kneeling on the ground and crying.
His body began to tremble. He knew that he was finished, not only finished, but also might face the trial of the law!
At this moment, he had an impulse to flee here and the Empire. But reason told him he couldn''t escape. He suddenly seemed to realize something. He suddenly turned and looked in the direction behind him. Unfortunately, he couldn''t see the building or a group of people talking and laughing in the window.
Colonel Gordon, who had entered the city circle, stood in a high place with a telescope and looked at the city center where black smoke kept rising in the distance. He slowly put down the telescope, took out a box of cigarettes he could not afford to buy from his coat pocket and lit one.
"Inform everyone, March quickly and suppress the riot!"
