Knowing who is behind the scenes will make things easier in the future.
Li Mu did not rush to meet Grant, but returned to New York first to meet John Rockefeller and Henry Dupont at Clinton Castle.
Compared to Li Mu, Rockefeller was really ruthless in suppressing the workers 'movement. In the Colorado Miners' strike in 1914, the Rockefeller family sent a private army equipped with armored vehicles and heavy machine guns in order to force workers to return to work. With the cooperation of the police and the government, the strike with more than two hundred deaths was unsuccessful.
Strictly speaking, the companies under Li Mu's name haven't had a strike so far, so Li Mu doesn't know how tycoons like Rockefeller will handle this type of problem.
When Li Mu introduced the "Knighthood of Labor" to John Rockefeller, John Rockefeller did not have the slightest impression on the organization, as Li Mu expected.
"It's the **** workers' movement again. I don't know how other places deal with similar problems, but here, if someone dares to come to my factory to make trouble, I will unscrew his head and hang it on the chessboard to You Xiaoyou, in the world of Rockefeller, there can only be one voice. "John Rockefeller is truly a hero, he is not a bluff, but he really dares to do it.
It was still during the Colorado Miners Strike in 1914 that the Rockefellers caught three strike organizers. These three people did not wait for a trial at all. The mercenaries took these three to a nearby railroad and shot them collectively. No one was allowed to collect the body, and the Rockefeller family would use this brutal and **** method to warn their enemies.
"I think we should put pressure on the President to find a way for Mr. President to declare the Knights of Labor an illegal group-even I suggest that we should declare all union groups as illegal groups and see what these people do. In fact, they are a group of parasites. While sucking the blood of the factory, they are also sucking the blood of the workers. If such an organization is controlled by ambitionists, the consequences will be unthinkable. "Li Mu had to dig out the hidden soil from the roots. Is a long-term solution.
The 19th-century U.S. trade unions are definitely not organizations that fight for the rights of workers, or that workers ’legitimate rights are just part of their work. From the perspective of Li Mu, the union has only one role, which is to let the capitalists pay More money adds more cost to the products of the factory, which will definitely affect the competitiveness of the products. In this era when the United States has to legislate to protect local enterprises, this behavior is similar to selling the country.
The unions in the United States have changed their tastes. They organized workers to fight against business owners, demanded that business owners pay more salaries, and even asked business owners to pay for the union's operating costs. Workers also had to pay to join the union, so Li Mu scolded It's true that American unions are parasites.
The bigger problem in the United States is the electoral system. No matter which party wants to govern, it needs to get more votes. In this way, the union has become a tool for some ambitions to stab government. This is especially true. Criticizing.
For example, Watson Squill, this guy is not as innocent as he said. When San Francisco just started to show signs of exclusion, two months ago, Watson Squill did ask the San Francisco government to protect the Chinese. His This action was accused by the San Francisco press, so Watson Squill soon arrived in San Francisco to show his exclusive position to Jacob Westbeck and Daniel Crolin. Objectively speaking, Jacob The reason why Wesbeck and Daniel Crolin dare to be so pretentious is directly related to the indulgence of Watson Squill.
Regarding Watson Sequel, Li Mu will settle accounts with him in the future, but it is not working now. Li Mu also needs the cooperation of Watson Squill. Those in San Francisco must not think that they have hurt the Chinese without paying any price. Soon Li Mu will let them regret it.
The current ruling party in the United States is the Republican Party. After the end of the Civil War, the Democratic Party has become a weak party. Not to mention the President, even the local governors and the Democratic Party are unable to compete.
If the Democratic Party wants to get ahead, it can only think of some outside recruits. The Chinese are undoubtedly a good goal, but only because the Chinese work hard and do not participate in strikes, which has damaged the interests of other union organizations.
"Ha, yes, we are going to ban these illegal organizations from the legal level and look at their requirements. What are the disgusting things like an 8-hour work system and equal pay for equal work? Is it that the machines in the factory can only operate eight machines a day? Hour? This is simply a crime! There is also equal pay for equal work, which is even more disgusting. I do n’t know who thought of such a thing. A new worker who can do nothing will get a skilled worker who has worked for decades. The same salary? Let's not talk about others, and ask the old workers if they agree-"Rockefeller also has deep grievances, and it's a good match with Li Mu.
The economic pillar in Rockefeller's hands is the oil field. Compared with the factory, the oil field can't be stopped. The underground oil will not erupt because the workers on the ground don't work. If the workers are allowed to achieve the goal of the eight-hour work day Rockefeller will kill.
"I will meet with Henry Dupont and Andrew Carnegie separately these days. I think we should unite to safeguard our own interests. What is wrong with Chinese workers? They work hard, do not make excessive demands, and work. The efficiency is much higher than those of the Irish and the black. We have no reason to spend the same price or higher, but we have hired a group of slackers. This is not the way to make money. "Li Mu wants more It would be better if the US government could increase immigration through this matter.
"It's true. There are a lot of Chinese in my factory. I know them. They are really the best workers, just like robots.-Oh, please forgive Rimm, you know I have no other meaning, just to express me. Admiration. "Rockefeller noticed that Li Mu's expression was a little smelly, and immediately adjusted his attitude.
Regarding the work focus of the Chinese, there is no doubt that all business owners in the United States believe that the Chinese are the best workers. In the event of Chinese exclusion in San Francisco, the factory owners who hired Chinese provided protection for a considerable number of Chinese. They refused to allow rioters to break into the factory to hurt the Chinese, and even some factory owners organized workers to confront those rioters, which also became evidence that the whites in Watson Squier's mouth showed goodwill to the Chinese.
In fact, there is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason. If there is no interest in it, the factory owners in San Francisco would not be willing to offend the guys of the Labor Knights.
"So okay, we have reached a consensus now, so next, I will find familiar MPs to put pressure on Mr. President, you should not stand idly by." Li Mu La Rockefeller got in the car.
"Of course, we advance and retreat together—" In this matter, Rockefeller and Li Mu have common interests, so Rockefeller has no reason to refuse.
Rockefeller cannot refuse. Although Rockefeller has won the oil exploration right in the Gulf of Mexico, this right needs to be guaranteed by Li Mu. If Li Mu is offended, then some of the Rockefeller oil rights in the Gulf of Mexico will not be seen. To the accident.
Although Rockefeller was not afraid of the Knights of Labor, Rockefeller did not want this organization to develop staff in its own factory, so selling it to Li Mu was a good face.
"I heard you have a beach club?" Before leaving, Rockefeller suddenly asked Li Mu.
"Yes, I did it with Green Giles, how about it? Would you like to join in? It only costs a dollar of membership fee every year, and the benefits are a lot—" Li Mu did not reject Rockefeller, or Li Mu welcomed Rockefeller, the beach club. If you want to have greater influence, you must have more powerful people to participate. If Li Mu can tell all the tycoons on Wall Street to join the beach club, then the beach club may have the ability to control Washington.
"Why not? It's only one dollar. I wonder what kind of service I can enjoy. Does this club accept donations?" Rockefeller looked promising and was just content to join.
"Of course, if you want, donations are good, if donations exceed one million, then life-long membership fees are waived-but I want to make it clear that this is not what I forced." Li Muyi was right.
one dollar.
It's just a gimmick. In fact, anyone who is eligible to join the beach club will not care about this dollar. As for the lifetime free membership fee, it is almost a joke.
The benefits you get after joining the beach club are not a joke. It depends on the strength of the beach club. For a tycoon like Rockefeller, it may just be a leaked news in advance, and it is already worth the price.
"Oh, look at your stingy look, I'm pretty sure you're Chinese now-" Rockefeller's mouth was bad enough.
Losing everything, but doing things very generously, Rockefeller said, and took out a check to open Li Mu a denomination of one million dollars as his "contribution."
Li Mu picked up the check, flicked it with his fingers, and whistled softly: "I like to deal with tycoons like you the most. I think you should give me more points because the engine developed in my laboratory is about to succeed, John , I officially inform you that you are getting rich! "
Just the last time he went to Boston, Li Mu received a notification from Franklin. If there were no accidents, in these days, MIT will conduct the first test trial. Franklin invited Li Mu to watch.
"Engine? What's that?" As an oil tycoon, Rockefeller didn't know what the engine was.
"You'll know in a few days." Li Mu was going to sell something and surprise Rockefeller.
