Blackstone Code

Old John is a factory worker.

He was more worried about his job than others were angry about what the Duncan family had done.

The factory where he works has been suspended due to involvement of the Duncan family.

This made Old John very worried. The shutdown factory would not pay him any salary, and this situation had lasted for two months.

After two months of no income, his savings can still sustain his current life, but not for long.

One problem is that federal people don’t have the habit of saving. Secondly, various expenses prevent federal people from saving much money.

Most families with one person working can already save fifty yuan at the end of the month and they are already very good at calculating their living expenses.

Old John is worried that once the factory cannot resume work in time, he will have to sell goods to get through this difficult time.

He went to the workers' union today and registered his information, hoping to find a job again.

But people from the workers' union told him that too many people had registered in the past two months, and the demand for workers in a short period of time has been saturated. Unless the shutdown factories reopen, at most there will only be some temporary workers available. .

But even if he is a temporary worker, Old John said he is willing to work, even if the money is less.

Having income is better than having no income!

After he left the workers' union, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he returned to his previous place of work. Before he got close, he saw a large group of people gathering at the entrance of the factory.

He walked over quickly, and after walking in, he found out that the former general manager of the factory was under investigation for something.

This factory will be auctioned due to ownership issues.

This makes everyone very frightened. They don't know what the future will be like, and they don't know whether the person who bought the factory will still use them. This makes them very scared!

People were discussing loudly, and Old John had been listening. He was not the kind of person who liked to speak, but he did have his own opinions.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, people from the workers' union came.

"...We are already aware of the situation here and are in contact with the state government. If the factory is really going to be auctioned, we will arrange lawyers to contact and negotiate with the new factory owner."

"Please rest assured that we will ensure that the interests of every worker are not harmed in this transaction..."

The people from the workers' union and the news they brought did not make Old John relax, but instead made him feel even heavier.

Over a period of time, he discovered that three factories in his city had been suspended due to involvement in cases related to the Duncan family, and were waiting to be auctioned.

While he hated the Duncan family, he worked part-time jobs from time to time.

In February, the weather in the Federation has begun to get warmer, and people have finally taken off their heavy coats. New developments in the Duncan family case have also blown away the gloom in the sky of the Federation.

Before this, many people thought that the federal government might exonerate the Duncan family from some charges. However, on February 9, the preliminary trial of a "core" member of the Duncan family ended.

He was suspected of kidnapping, murder, serious injury and other crimes and was sentenced to death.

Since he obeyed the verdict and did not file an appeal, the federal Supreme Court and four lifelong justices signed his name on the final execution agreement and agreed to the execution.

The whole process goes very quickly. Logically speaking, the death penalty needs to be reviewed again, but sometimes there are certain things that cannot be rigidly followed by dogmatism.

Under such circumstances, the review of the death penalty was passed quickly.

On February 15, major television stations broadcast the execution.

A man in his thirties with a numb face stood in the middle of a playground. Behind him was a large haystack. After a brief reading of his charges, three soldiers finally stood in front of him and raised their hands. rifle.

The sound that sounded at the same time silenced everyone.

Two bullets one after another shattered his head, and another bullet penetrated his heart.

In fact, this kind of bloody scene is nothing to the federal people.

During the final period of World War I, federal war reporters took back many videos taken at war scenes from all over the world.

Those scenes are more bloody and exciting.

But the excitement and reflection brought about by the war was far less than the excitement and reflection brought about by a Confederate being shot.

People remained silent, looking at the body on the ground.

Starting from the lower jaw as the dividing line, the upper part disappeared, and blood flowed everywhere. Even from a long distance, or even across the TV, people could already feel something indescribable.

Old John was also watching TV, and the whole family was watching. His wife covered the child's eyes with her hands, but the child secretly watched TV from other places.

The colors of the TV are not so realistic, which somewhat reduces the feeling of blood and horror.

Soon, the broadcast was over, and it was considered by many to be the most important page in the history of federal justice!

nobody!

No one can escape the punishment of the law after breaking the law, even if he/she/it is a celebrity, a celebrity politician, or whoever!

As long as you commit a crime, you cannot escape the punishment of the law. This is what people feel.

At this moment, no matter how much money you had before or how high your social status was, at this moment, those things have lost their luster and value.

Someone once again dug up a sentence that Lynch said before——

Everyone is equal before the law!

Yes, they saw it, maybe this is the truest appearance of the law!

In fact, the treatment of members of the Duncan family shocked the entire world.

The world is always moving forward, and feudal rule will eventually end. When the rule of man ends, there are always some people who hope to know better about what the rule of law will be like and whether it will be beneficial to this country.

And this is the best opportunity!

In mid-to-late February, around the 19th, Old John suddenly received a call from the factory - there was a public phone booth not far from his door.

Then he hurried to the factory.

When he first entered the factory, he found that almost all the workers he knew and didn't know were there, as well as representatives and lawyers from the workers' unions, as well as staff from the city hall.

The factory where Old John works is divided into several workshops, raw material workshop, production workshop, assembly workshop...

The supervisors of these workshops gathered together, and they were discussing something in low voices.

About twenty minutes later, the supervisor of the production workshop stood up, still holding a microphone in his hand.

"Dear workers and colleagues, I believe I don't need to repeat the description of what happened during this period. You all know it well."

"The news we got before was that the factory was going to be auctioned and sold to those capitalists, and none of us knew what would happen next."

"But now, there have been some adjustments to the above policies, and we have some new possibilities!"

"Method one is to do what we knew before. The factory will be auctioned, and then our resettlement will be handed over to the new owner..."

Someone interrupted him, "Hurry up and tell us about the new changes, we don't want to hear this nonsense!"

The supervisor of the production workshop glanced at the speaker. He was a prick. He didn't say anything and just smiled.

"Another way is that they allow us to raise our own funds to buy our factory, and then we will be responsible for ourselves!"

When he said these words, he was slightly excited.

There is no doubt that their management is more inclined to the latter.

Wouldn't it be better if you could spend your own money to buy your own factory and be your own boss?

The people at the city hall talked to the management of the companies in the city that had suspended operations due to the Duncan case. Everyone felt that this was a good choice, so there was a general voting meeting like today.

As his words fell, the whole factory buzzed, causing a lot of noise. People were expressing their opinions, and some were talking to people around them about how to do this.

Indeed, emotionally everyone is interested in this proposal, at least they won't be sent away, right?

Old John also thinks this is actually quite good.

As the discussion gradually dissipated, it also meant that everyone had made a decision.

“I’m inviting everyone here this time just to tell you first that if we want to use method two, then according to the policies given to us by the city hall and the state government, we will have to raise approximately...”

He said a number, but this number still kept everyone silent because it was too big.

Fortunately, this money is not paid by one person, but by everyone together.

On average, a person only needs to pay about 7,500 to 10,000 yuan, which is enough.

In fact, the money was beyond what Old John could afford. He couldn't afford so much cash now, but that didn't stop him from continuing to listen.

When the supervisor of the production workshop then announced that everyone needed to pay 10,000 yuan, there was some small argument.

"Are you also going to chip in 10,000 yuan?" someone asked the management.

The supervisor of the production workshop didn't realize anything yet, so he nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is the same, and everyone will be given 10,000 yuan."

"I know you think this money is a bit much. In fact, it also includes the money for us to purchase raw materials for subsequent construction. As long as the money is collected, we can start construction immediately..."

But the person who just asked the question interrupted him again.

"Since we are all given 10,000, who will manage the factory, who will be the manager, who will be the supervisor, and who will be the team leader?"

With one word, the place became quiet again in an instant.

Old John was also stunned for a moment, and then felt that this prickly man was right.

Since everyone is given 10,000 yuan, why should you be the management while we have to do manual work in the workshop?

This is obviously very unfair!

There is no room for injustice in this society!
