Blackstone Code

It is not uncommon for workers to be lazy in the Federation. Workers in many factories are also habitually lazy, and the situation in the Federation is more complicated than here.

With the protection of various laws and the support of workers' unions, even if the capitalists know that the workers are lazy, there is no good way to solve the problem.

If the capitalists push harder, the workers will go on strike and march, and even the lawyers of the workers' unions will file a lawsuit, accusing the capitalists of exploiting and oppressing the human nature of needing rest, forcing workers to engage in high-intensity physical labor without giving them time to rest.

This alone is enough to cause capitalists to lose a lot of money, and various litigation costs and attorney fees will become a big burden.

The capitalists won. The worker in question resigned after apologizing. For the worker, he had no loss, but the capitalists lost a lot of money.

But if the workers win, then the next step will be a headache negotiation between the capitalists and the workers' union. The workers' union will ask the capitalist to increase the treatment of workers in his factories and increase their rest time to ease the so-called labor-management Tensions.

This will cost a lot of profits. No matter whether they win or lose, it is difficult for the capitalists to take advantage. Therefore, most of the time, as long as the workers' lazy behavior is not too excessive or serious, they will turn a blind eye.

Nel can be regarded as a small half capitalist. The reason why he is a small half is because he is in a state of half-knowledge and has not yet grasped the essence of being a capitalist.

Thinking of this, Lynch decided to teach Nell a lesson. He took out a cigarette, lit it, crossed his legs, put one hand on his lap, and pressed the other on the edge of the table, "Nell, you know what? , what is the most striking feature in the struggle between the working class and the capitalists?”

After asking this question, he might feel that the words were a little too vague, so he explained in detail, "I mean, do you know how the working class can effectively resist the oppression and exploitation of the capitalists, and how the capitalists are How to break down this confrontation?”

Nell thought about it seriously for a moment, and finally shook his head. Education and experience restricted him. He had been a worker, but he couldn't feel the kind of confrontation Lynch said, "I don't quite understand."

Lynch smiled without any surprise, "The workers fight against the capitalists through unity, and the capitalists only need to give the workers some internal competition to achieve their goal of dividing them."

"You may not feel it, but this form of confrontation has always existed, even now."

"Among the many tasks of the workers' union, one of the more important is to unite the workers. They will establish a worker organization branch in each factory to unite the workers to form a force that can fight against the capitalists. You were also a member of the union before. You should Knows that better than I do.”

When some things are not revealed clearly, even if there is only a layer of paper as thin as a cicada's wings, people will not be able to understand them.

When Lynch said this, Nelton suddenly came to his senses, and his expression was a little surprised. It felt like a nose that had been blocked for three days suddenly vented, and a burst of spiritual light shot straight to the sky.

At that time, their factory frequently organized workers’ collective activities. Thinking about it now, wasn’t that exactly the role of workers’ organizations in emphasizing “unity”?

The workers participated in the activities together and showed the strength of "unity", so that the capitalists had to make concessions to them, such as asking for half a day off to engage in trade union activities, and the capitalists finally accepted it in black.

But..., he looked at Lin Qi again. He had some special feelings. This knowledge was very important to him.

This is the benefit of money. Money can make people deal with some problems calmly instead of being sensitive. If the father and son are very poor at this moment, when they talk about this problem, Nell will probably think it is Lin. Strange provocation and humiliation to him.

But they all have a lot of money, and they are naturally able to calmly face these problems that are unlikely to make them ugly.

A poor man will try his best to avoid talking about his poor and poor life, but a rich man is willing to tell others about his poverty in the past. The amount of wealth is different, and the mentality is different.

Lynch took a puff of cigarette and continued, "In order to deal with these united workers, the capitalists have gone through a long search and found a very effective method, which is to compete in groups."

If one of Nell's noses was clear just now, then all of it was clear in an instant. A burst of cold air made his brain extremely clear in an instant!

Lynch hadn't finished speaking, "Facing the united enemy...", he chuckled, "I may not have used the word accurately, if it was you, it is best not to use such a word, facing these The easiest way to unite the working class is to divide it.”

"But capitalists can't do it so blatantly. They figured out a way to group workers into workshops or assembly lines, and then designate a reward system without punishment to increase competition between groups①."

"This system is very unreasonable, but the glory and substantial rewards will attract people from each group to compete for first place."

"It might not be strong enough at first, but over time people's mentality changes and soon there's a sense of competition between each other, and that serves the purpose of dividing them."

"Workers don't need any additional means to generate a sense of confrontation, even hatred. The capitalists only need to provide some glory and benefits on a regular basis, and the workers who unite will fight to the death on their own."

“If you notice that, competition is everywhere.”

Nell nodded completely subconsciously. There was such competition in his existing workshop. The owner of the factory proposed to give extra bonuses to the workshop with the highest output, but there was no penalty for other workshops.

This is the competition that does not punish the system, but makes the competition between several workshops in the factory become fierce all year round.

Even in the activities organized by the labor union, almost everyone could not speak. Now he suddenly felt that the few times someone made small reports might be done by people from other groups.

This exclusion developed to the point that during this wave of bankruptcies, the opinions of many workers could not be unified, which also led to so many things that happened later...

He suddenly came to his senses at this moment, "You want me to do the same thing here, to divide the natives outside and increase their internal competitiveness?"

Lynch nodded, "This is a very easy thing, but their level of civilization has not yet reached the minimum standards of the federation, so we also need to provide them with some additional motivation."

"Divide them into at least three groups. At the end of each cycle, use part of the salary of the bottom-ranked team as a reward to the first place, and deduct part of the salary of the second place into a bonus pool."

Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will receive cash and coins!

"In addition to the small cycle, set a large cycle. If you have watched the rugby league..." Nel nodded repeatedly when Lynch said this. He likes rugby, "...then you will definitely be able to understand the points system."

"The salary deducted from the second place will be distributed to the group with the first score in a large cycle. This will arouse everyone's sense of competition and hatred. You don't even need to supervise them. They will You will work hard yourself.”

"Of course, in order to prevent some people from deliberately holding others back, at the end of each small cycle, each group will be given a chance to nominate, and the workers who voted more than half of them will be fired..."

When Lynch said this, there was already a very irritating smile on his face. He licked his lips. This plan is actually an improvement plan to expand internal competitiveness.

Except for the first place, everyone will suffer. Only the first place has benefits. Everyone's interests are involved, including the second place.

Why not divide the group of workers into two groups, because complete opposition may also lead to tacit changes in shift work.

One group is first in this cycle, and two groups are first in the second cycle. Therefore, the number of beneficiaries must be controlled, so that those with vested interests who can benefit can only occupy a small number of people, and the majority of people whose interests have been violated can be given a chance to change. If the opportunity arises, they will fight each other out of their wits.

Nell was still thinking seriously, but the deputy manager had a look of surprise. He glanced at the deputy manager, who quickly lowered his head with a smile, his eyes filled with admiration and some fear.

In fact, neither of them knew that the first person to be harmed by this method of dividing the worker group through internal competitiveness was the capitalists themselves.

The disorderly competition within the industry makes every capitalist miserable, so they propose various industry regulations and standards to constrain each other's disorderly and chaotic competition.

Capitalists can do this because some of them have the right to speak, such as some large group companies. They are both "workers" and "bosses", so capitalists can change this situation.

The working class is different, because they are only "workers" and will always be "workers" and will never be "bosses". They cannot replace the capitalists in formulating orderly rules for competition in factories and workers' groups.

As long as the workers cannot truly replace the capitalists as the masters of the country, they will not be able to avoid the fate of being divided.

Capital society and capitalism have been developing for many years, and labor and capital have been fighting for many years, so that the current federation has capital experience that far exceeds that of other countries. This played a huge role in the early development of the international community.

After a few minutes, Nell seemed to have completely figured it out. His expression was a little excited, a little exaggerated, and a little weird, "You guys are really nothing!"

He said this from the perspective of a worker, because he was once a worker.

Lynch smiled and said nothing, and Nel soon followed up with the second half of the sentence, "But it's very effective!"

Can it be effective?

This is at least a hundred years ahead of experience!
