My America
Chapter 274: Brewing conflict
If a labor dispute breaks out, it is like the confrontation between Carnegie Steel and the wages of workers, which is very detrimental to the joint company.
Carnegie Steel's risk assessment is actually very bad, because the Holmested strike incident, in order to reduce costs and increase profits, Carnegie Steel reduced the wages of workers in one piece, and the angry American Steel Workers Federation was in Carnegie's factory, Holmstead, called on these workers to strike. At the same time, what made the contradiction more acute was that the company introduced a lot of efficient machines. In order to minimize costs, the company also laid off a quarter of its employees.
Carnegie Steel gathered some workers who did not approve of the strike, and invited more than 300 armed men from the private detective agent to suppress the strike, which intensified the conflict. There was a very **** fight between them and the strike workers. The result was that five company workers and four private investigators were killed and more than 300 people were injured.
What followed was the State Guards, which helped Carnegie Iron and Steel Company smooth the storm. But because of this, Carnegie Steel's criticism is very poor.
But to let Sheffield stand from his own point of view, the introduction of high-efficiency machines instead of labor is originally a progress of society. Just want to make progress without sacrificing, how can such a good thing be? Carnegie Steel did nothing wrong. The United States is struggling to establish a nation, does not support idlers, and has more efficient machines. Is it necessary to raise valueless workers? Why not let the company assign you a wife?
"Don't let me make money, they won't even get a penny." In front of McHale's face, Sheffield nodded at Jesra, "Get a black senior staff, we plan first a bit."
After Jesra left, he said to McHale again, "From Carnegie Steel's case, we know that one-sided repression is not good for our company's image. Although I don't think that Carnegie basics are wrong, the company itself should be In pursuit of greater efficiency, the behavior of the group of steel workers, like the textile workers of the Middle Ages who destroyed the textile machine, is blocking the progress of society. It is not worthy of sympathy. However, the image of the joint company is more important than anything, so it is necessary to lead to another Only in a situation can we start without fear. "
"But what's the difference?" McHale didn't understand that it was all a group of people who worked, and the results were the same.
"The difference here can be very big. If it becomes a race issue, this is the reality of the country. If you directly suppress residents who are not willing to relocate, this is a problem for our companies. Although for the suppressed residents, this In fact, there is no difference, but for outsiders, it is very different. "Sheffield lighted a cigar and said," Now what we need to do is turn our problem into a national problem. "
If it becomes a racial issue, this is the country's misfortune, at least a few decades later, it is likely to be the case. Because the goal of the United States is ultimately much larger than that of the United Company.
For citizens of other states who have not directly witnessed how everything happened in New Orleans, this is an ordinary confrontation, and maybe public opinion will still be on the side of Sheffield and the state government.
At least in the current United States of America, most citizens will not be sympathetic to minorities. Sheffield has a lot of assurance in this regard. Of course, for the people involved, whether it is a race issue or the capitalist suppression of the residents, the results are always the same.
This is like changing the dynasty in China. The halving of the population is a routine operation. For people who have died, whether it is a peasant army, a government army, or a foreign mercenary. What's the difference. But for those who survived the troubled times, there was a big difference. At least the dead people died in the hands of foreigners. That is not an excuse to gather their hearts.
In case I gathered my hearts and became an emperor, wouldn't these dead people be of value?
Sheffield now wants to implement the project immediately, and does not want to be scolded. It must be turned into a conflict that most citizens feel that there is a cause of conflict. There is no more suitable way to deal with this matter than racial issues.
Let McHale talk to someone first, stabilize the situation, and make the illusion that it is not impossible to talk. Sheffield needs to sort out the countermeasures of the crack and let the development of this matter enter the track of his own planning.
He needs the public opinion of the whites and the actions of the blacks as evidence to turn this into a civil ethnic conflict. The United Company just caught up, and the company was also an innocent victim.
The general convener of the 3k Party of Louisiana, came to the Oak Manor happily, just to see Sheffield shooting with a shotgun, and beside him was a boring Natalia.
Boom ... Sheffield, immersed in the sound of the sound, completely smashed the target designed as the Northern EFF before throwing the shotgun that had no bullets to the side, turning back with his hands in his pants pockets, rushing Conley nodded and asked to sit down, saying straight away, "At present, the United Company has encountered a little inconvenience. By the way, isn't your son promoted quickly after he became a policeman, just like I said, you 3k party members , You should enter the police department to work, so that you have changed your situation, and you can better maintain the federal order. You have the right to have a gun. Is n’t it much stronger than the original? "
"This is boss William, who helped us folks find a way out. In fact, many people are grateful for this!" Conley continued to express gratitude. "With us, the country will not be affected by those black people."
"It's needless to say thank you. This is what a conscience entrepreneur should do. Although there are some ignorant **** who don't understand this painstaking effort, they don't understand what our companies have paid for the South, and they just care The small amount of money in front of me, regardless of the overall situation, cooperates with us, which is very annoying. "Sheffield said with a tragic and merciful tone, and said shamelessly as soon as she exited. , If it was not for us to provide work, they would have starved to death one by one. "
"Boss, if you need our help, please speak up!" Conley knew when she heard that, Sheffield must have asked her to do something and take the initiative.
"You guys are so upright, don't worry, let you do something you are already good at. I also believe that my request is not excessive." Sheffield chuckled and lowered her voice, "Actually, this matter, It ’s also in line with the ideas of people like you, and it ’s good for you and me. "
As Sheffield said, Conley nodded constantly, and finally asked, "If there is a boss in your black group, what will happen to you by accident?"
"Relax, those eggplant people run faster than anyone else. I know my employees best." Sheffield smiled very brightly, saying that everything is fine, and said, "This time you help me solve the problem people. If it disappears, the problem will naturally disappear. "
What Sheffield wants is that after the storm, he does not want to have any factors that interfere with the reconstruction plan of New Orleans, and resolve all hidden dangers through this conflict at the same time. As for Conley, this matter is in line with the ideas of these people. At least for now, both sides can wear a pair of pants.
Prior to this, the black employees who cooperated with Sheffield's plan had just left Oak Manor and prepared on both sides to resolve this storm. After Conley also left, Natalia suggested with some concern, "Once it becomes a conflict, is it dangerous to stay in New Orleans, even if you don't care, you should also go out for a while, causing evidence of absence. . "
"Oh dear, your words are always so heartwarming!" Sheffield crooked directly at Natalia's body as if she had no bones, her head resting on her elastic legs, and a weak breath. , "Intentionally creating evidence of absence is actually useless. Carnegie actually went to Scotland for a vacation while suppressing steel workers, but everyone knows that all this is directed by him by remote control. At this time, leaving me feels like me There are ghosts in my heart. I'm not going anywhere here. "
Sheffield just wants to stay in New Orleans and watch the success of things first, don't deliberately avoid suspicions, and this is also not necessary! When Natalia heard it, her blue eyes were full of appreciation, and the man was too responsible.
Of course, ready for a direct showdown, Sheffield still maintains a little final goodwill. If McHale can handle this matter, perhaps it does not need to create a tragedy. The condition given by Sheffield is that you can fight against the leaders who refuse to relocate and let them settle this matter, but this benefit is limited to a few people, and all benefits are given to them. As for all participants, attitudes and original constant.
Even if the joint company has the ability to kill the other party directly, it still needs to do some superficial work. Why not do the basic disintegration? It's better to pull and play the two-pronged approach.
This time the negotiations ended in failure. Even if they did not know the real purpose of Sheffield and refused to relocate, they believed that the joint company was obviously perfunctory, and in fact it was indeed perfunctory.
What gratified these people was that the black people who looked more like gorillas than they were humans, and learned their own righteous actions, even rushed over to provide help. Sure enough, the correct ones were correct. Black people similar to animals can distinguish good from bad.
