1855 United States Tycoon

"Hey! Igor! What's wrong with you?" Sid patted Igor on the shoulder next to him, "Wake up, don't fall asleep! You will be fired if people see you!"

Igor raised his eyes hard, he felt his own eyelids became extra heavy, as heavy as a Mont Blanc on it, so much that he couldn't open them anyway. And Sid's voice was also ethereal.

"I don't know," Igor's voice seemed to come from his sleep, "I'm so sleepy!"

Sid looked around and saw the overseer Harley walking towards this side, he quickly stomped on Igor.

The intense pain caused Igor's sleepiness to recede, and he suddenly woke up.

"Why are you two staying there? Be lazy!" Halley's roar came from afar.

"No, Mr. Halley. We just dropped a piece of quicklime on the cart." Sid replied loudly. After speaking, he quickly said to Igor: "Hurry up, Igor!" Then the two of them pushed the trolley full of quicklime along the rails and pushed it over there.

When he reached the place, Sid stopped, then slammed a handle, and the trolley's body turned over and poured the quicklime into the storage tank beside the blast furnace.

"Okay, Igor, let's go." Sid said with a clap of Hui on his hands. But he didn't get an answer, so he turned his head, but was surprised to see that Igor leaned against the corner and fell asleep squatting there.

"Damn it! How could you be trapped like this?" Sid couldn't understand what was going on.

"Damn it! Sleeping at work! I want to fire you!" Harley yelled out of nowhere. It's just that his cry didn't wake up and Igor was already asleep. He slept so soundly that his saliva flowed out and wet the collar of his collar.

...

"Doyle, Royce, the situation is really wrong now." After work, several union leaders gathered at Worker Pat's house to discuss the recent situation in the factory.

It was already time for dinner by this time, and the sun hadn't completely set yet, and the afterglow touched the western sky into a bleak dark red. The windows in Pat's room are very small, so at this time, the room is already very dark, but a few people did not light up the lights. Electric lights are still the luxury of the rich in France, and even kerosene lamps cannot be lighted by ordinary workers. . So although the windows were open, a few people could only open the windows and talk blackmail.

"Yes, I made mistakes because of sleepiness, and as a result, too many people were fired. Almost every day, several workers were fired for various mistakes. This is absolutely abnormal. Bart, I think this thing must be strange! "A worker who is about forty years old with brown hair said.

"I need you to talk about it? This is absolutely abnormal! That's all for one or two people. Where can so many people get sleepy? What's more, we all take the'Dali Pill'. How can there be such an easy reason for sleepiness? ?" Another big worker replied.

"Then tell me, what's the problem?" another worker said.

"Where do I know, I just don't think it's right." The worker replied, "This matter, you should ask about glasses."

The glasses are a young man who looks well-mannered and more like a college student in a certain university. With a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, he is now a sparkler. This is also considered a high-level technology job in a steel factory. There are legends that he really went to university and later joined Workers International. "Glasses" reached out and helped the glasses on the bridge of the nose, and said, "Although I don't know what's going on, I'm sure! There is only one truth! That is..."

...

At the same moment, in the Louis factory manager’s office, the supervisors were talking to the factory manager.

"Haley, good job!" Director Louis praised. "You can always show up at the right time, good job!"

"Director, you're overwhelmed."

...

Pat's home.

"Have you found that what kind of people are most likely to get sleepy?" "Glasses" asked.

"What kind of person?" Pat asked, leaning forward.

"Workers in non-critical positions." "Glasses" replied.

...

Factory director's office.

"Mr. Perkins, you are the key to the whole operation. In the previous operation, you have not made a mistake. This is remarkable! I can see your performance, and I will not break my promise to you. Here is your special bonus for this month." Louis said a small envelope and handed it to Perkins, the factory doctor who was in charge of distributing "power pills" to the workers.

"You can call it." Director Louis added.

Perkins opened the small envelope, took a look, then put the envelope in his own jacket pocket with a smile of joy, and at the same time said hurriedly: "Thank you, Mr. Louis, you are a generous and good person."

...

Worker Pat's home.

"If someone falls asleep in those key positions, what will happen?" "Glasses" asked. But he did not wait for others to answer, and gave the answer: "The factory will suffer a huge loss because this person falls asleep. For example, if I get sleepy while watching the sparks, then the quality of the furnace steel It will be greatly affected. The company will suffer a big loss. Even if I am shot, they will feel that it is a big loss. There are only workers in non-critical positions like porters, even if they are trapped. Falling asleep, it will not cause too serious losses. How can there be any reason in the world that only workers in non-critical positions will be sleepy?"

"Glasses! You mean?" Bart said suspiciously.

"Bart, you've been skeptical already, haven't you?" asked the glasses.

...

Factory director's office.Now the supervisors and the factory doctors have already left, and there are only factory director Louis and cashier Newman in the office.

"Mr. Louis, here is the salary expenditure table for this month, please take a look." Newman handed a report to Louis.

Louis lowered his head and looked at the report seriously, and after a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He nodded, put the report away and put it in the drawer of the desk.

...

Worker Pat's home.

"One thing, if you don't understand it, don't worry about its ins and outs. Just think about this question, that is, who is taking advantage of this situation." "Glasses" continued.

"The people who are fired are workers in non-critical positions who can get normal wages. This is the majority of the workers. Once they are fired, they can sign in new workers in the labor market. These new workers will have long-term benefits. Up to a three-month probation period, during which their wages are only one-third to one-half of their normal wages. This does not mean that their working capacity in these positions is only three times that of the original formal workers. One-half to one-half. It should be said that their labor capacity is no different from the original formal workers, because this is an ordinary type of work that does not require technology at all. In this way, if most of these workers can be replaced For workers who have become probationary, the company can save almost one-third of their wages every month for at least three months."

"These bastards!" Doyle scolded angrily. "I'm sure these bastards want to do more than this. But they will definitely work with these bastards before the probationary period. When the time comes, look for opportunities to fire those workers who are in the probationary period and replace them with new ones. These black-hearted guys!"

"Glasses, how do you say that they made him want someone to doze off according to his wishes and get caught in time?" Royce also asked.

"I think, just like'Dali Pills' can refresh people, there are also drugs in this world that can make people sleepy." "Glasses" said, "As long as he gives us the'Dali Pills', he is a little bit awkward. Not easy yet?"

"Is there any evidence for this?" Royce asked.

"It's not difficult? As long as you can get the kind of ghost pills, you can reveal the truth. All the medicines are distributed by Dr. Perkins. If he caused the ghost, then the drugs he distributed Surely most of them are genuine'Dali pills', but he must know who the fake ones were sent to. Because every time someone gets sleepy, the overseers will always show up in time and fire them. Get it in time. It’s too late for the other workers to wake him up. What does this mean? This means that the supervisors have long known who is sleepy and have been staring at them. Therefore, we must pay attention to observe and see if Perkins is distributing drugs. For any abnormal behavior, we should also pay attention to the reactions of other supervisors. I think we can find out who has got those sleepy pills, and then take these pills out for testing, and there will be evidence."

"What's the use if there is evidence?" Royce said, "You can still go to court to sue them? Or expose them in the newspaper. They will never admit it, they will only say that these things are forged by us. This What's the use?"

"Why are they useless?" "Glasses" asked back, and then his emotions rose: "Getting the evidence, we are not going to the bourgeois court to fight against them. That is not only possible to win. There is no way. There are complicated legal provisions, and a lot of lawyers and judges who can reverse black and white. Their purpose is to help capitalists oppress workers. The purpose of obtaining evidence is to let workers understand the truth and understand how they are being deceived. Be damaged, and thus truly unite. Only by uniting can we have the strength to fight for the reasonable rights of ownership. And I believe that when the proletarians of France and the whole world are really united, this unreasonableness will be buried in the end. In the era of capitalism, what the proletarians will lose in the struggle will be only the chains, and what they will win will be the whole world! The proletarians of the world, unite!"
