Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 332 Little tricks

"The system that should be improved and upgraded has been improved and upgraded. The workers are also working very hard. One person is used as two people... Our output has really reached the upper limit. If we want to make a big breakthrough, we can no longer count on these It’s a trivial matter.” At noon, Andre, Veraker, and Winston had a meeting in the office after a routine meal.

   "Do you have any good ideas?" Verak looked at the pensive Winston.

  Winston, as a person who always pays attention to the data, is very clear about the situation, and has predicted that the development will level off early on. Verak thinks that he should have some ideas on this issue.

But after a few seconds of silence, Winston was still not optimistic: "I don't know, I think we have done everything we should do, and it is too difficult to make new breakthroughs in such a big breakthrough. .”

"Actually, this is very good. When I first came here, when this idea was first born, no one would have dared to think that we could turn a weaving factory on the verge of bankruptcy into what it is now? We gave the workers so many benefits, We still have money to make..." Andre felt that they had created a miracle, and the reason why they couldn't climb further was because Winston and Verak set their goals too high.

"It's really good enough. The current results are enough to silence those who say that the factory will close down if workers are treated well, but it is still a little short of the goal we want to achieve..." When he said this, Winston was a little bit Lacking confidence, he also wondered if he was too greedy. He obviously allowed so many workers to live an infinitely better life than before. Isn't this the end?

"If you really want to make another breakthrough, I think it's easy. Increase the working hours of the workers by another two hours. By then, our output will definitely have another soaring increase and achieve ten times the output." Andre mentioned A seemingly normal solution.

  Many people have said this method.

Because compared with factories that often work 15, 16, 16 or 17 hours, the eight-hour working system of Nak Weaving Factory is so good that it cannot be described in words. Even if it is increased by two hours, it is still very conscientious compared with others. It's unbelievable.

  Knowing that Andre would not have the idea of ​​oppressing and exploiting workers, Winston was not as angry as he heard others mention it, but his tone remained firm: "No."

"I think that we must make changes based on the general phenomenon of long working hours, and allow workers to have sufficient rest and entertainment time, but this is not dead, and every new system does not have to be implemented absolutely to the end. Since we do this for experimentation and to find out the best model, we must make some adjustments according to the situation..." Andre explained his thoughts.

"I understand what you mean, but we have just stagnated, and we are far from the point where we need to consider using this method to increase production. And if the production does not increase, the profits will not increase, let the workers work more, and make the workers sacrifice Self-interest, this is the consistent thinking of the bourgeoisie. If we want to make changes, we must try our best to avoid using the same method, otherwise, what is the point of our experiment?" Winston said, "Indeed, the first thing we promulgated According to the principle, the 27-article system should be adjusted according to the situation, and the system that can generally adapt to the society is the correct enough system. But I still hope that the promulgation of the 27-article content is just the beginning, and we will go A longer road, instead of pushing backwards all the way, taking back what was handed back to the workers bit by bit.”

Verac participated in the formulation of the 27-point system, and he understood Winston's insistence: "Of course we will not put forward particularly high demands from the beginning, after all, the more we give, the more we give, and the idea of ​​giving a lot at once and then slowly taking it back The psychological impact is completely different, so when formulating the content of the system, we are basically negotiating according to the lowest conditions... In other words, these 27 systems are actually a bottom line. There are indeed discussions However, it is best not to do so, what we want the public to see is that the future is full of hope, and everyone will get better and better, not that there will only be downward possibilities in the future.”

  When formulating the system, Verac and Winston both considered the long-term.

  The promulgation of the 27-article system is enough to shock the world, but this is only the beginning in the hearts of Verac and Winston.

  They have a more ambitious vision. The reason why they didn't put their real ideas into practice at the beginning is because they consider that it will be difficult and it may not be successful.

  Instead of raising everyone’s expectations at the beginning, but in the end they continue to fade away, and everyone can’t see hope, it’s better to be down-to-earth at the beginning, step by step, and walk side by side with the people from reality to ideal.

Andre didn't have any idea of ​​solving the problem by increasing the working hours. He just offered a choice when several people were facing difficulties. Now seeing the firmness of Verac and Winston, he was also moved: " Then don’t think about it, the bottom line must be kept.”

"I'm not stubborn, I'm immersed in my own theoretical world." Winston was afraid that Andre might misunderstand his insistence, so he explained specifically, "If it's really a corner, it will show my judgment It’s really wrong, and I have nothing to say if I have to make concessions on the current 27-article system.”

"I understand. After getting along with you for this period of time, I probably understand who you are. You are very considerate of the overall situation, and you are ready to completely deny all the research you have done in the past few years... I would never believe it if I had such an awareness. You can harm the interests of others for your own persistence." Andre also hurriedly said that he didn't think much about it, and he trusted Winston unconditionally.

   "Heh." Verak smiled and looked at the two very frank comrades. No matter what kind of argument there was, it was purely for the good of everyone.

Now the internal atmosphere of the Equality Association is very good. This is mainly because everyone is the same type of person, with differences in personality and disputes based on different opinions, but they are also very clear about each other's sincerity and will not bring problems to people, and then redundant conflicts erupt.

  In the past, the Chloe faction held the idea of ​​equality for the good and the good of the people to sabotage the revolution, and it will never happen again.

"Okay, now that we have understood each other's thoughts and made sure that everyone's hearts are the same, let's go back to the original point and continue discussing how to increase production." Verak clapped his hands and brought the two back together. to the problem itself.

  May 27th, evening

  Kip City, Light Industrial Area, the nearest tavern to Nak Weaving Factory

  Nack Weaving Factory has just been reformed, and the worker Randall has just come out of the dire life, and he is used to going to the tavern to drink after work every night.

  In the beginning, he was alone. Gradually, the workers in the weaving factory who had no family like him came over to have a few drinks together, enjoying the comfort that they had never felt before or had forgotten.

   Today is the same as usual. After getting off work at 7pm and having dinner in the cafeteria, Randall came to the tavern with four friends and planned to drink until eleven or twelve o'clock, so that he would have time to sleep well before working tomorrow.

"I really envy you guys. You are free and unrestrained every day and still have such a high salary." Randall has come here more times, and he has naturally become acquainted with some regular customers of the tavern. One of them fished for three days and dried the net for two days The odd-job alcoholic made no secret of his envy, sitting next to Randall.

   "Haha... I think so too. Sometimes I wake up in a trance for a long time during the day, thinking that none of this is real..." Randall laughed happily, "Fortunately, it's true!"

   "It's better to save some money and cherish the present moment. You never know when your factory will close down." The drunkard said bluntly.

Randall didn't take it seriously: "Our factory is running very well! Everyone is not a fool, and we all know that such a factory is rare in a hundred years. If we are as lax as before, the factory closed down because of our own lack of effort, and we will starve to death on the street. They all deserve it!"

"Don't look at us working eight hours a day, these eight hours can be as hard as the previous eighteen hours! No one needs to supervise, everyone is working harder than one in production! Why?! Just to make the factory run profitably Go on! Only in this way can we continue to enjoy the current benefits!" Another worker at the Nak Weaving Factory said.

"Yes!" Randall took a sip of wine, "This is the most united time I have felt, and the result has not failed us. As long as we keep working hard, the factory will not go bankrupt. Maybe the factory will make more money in the future. Yes, the benefits given to us can be improved a bit! This is definitely not even a thought in other factories, but our factory owner is really likely to do it!"

  Nak Weaving Factory is very simple, that is, hard work really pays off.

   Whether everyone can enjoy a good and better life depends entirely on themselves.

"Is there no news about your factory yet? When you plan to recruit people, remember to tell my brothers as soon as possible. If we can also go in, we will definitely treat you to a good meal then!" Some people do not object to Randall. Those words, I still keep trying to please, hoping to have the opportunity to arrange myself in it.

   "Well, maybe it's really soon! Our factory seems to be expanding its industry and building an additional printing and dyeing workshop. At that time, no matter what, we will have to recruit dozens of new people?" Randall said.

"Really?!"

   "When?! Tell me in detail!"

   "Give Randall another drink! I'll pay for it!"

  As soon as they heard that the Nak Weaving Factory would be recruiting people, everyone who looked down on Randall just now gathered around to find out the latest news.

  Now everyone is staring at the Nak Weaving Factory. If they can grasp the latest news, they will have the greatest possibility to stand out from the competition of hundreds of people and become the workers of the Nak Weaving Factory.

"No, no, no..." Randall declined while taking the wine bought by others, "I also happened to hear the person in charge of our factory talking about this matter these two days, although I'm not sure when it was, but there is always With this intention, our factory will definitely recruit more people in the future..."

   "Randall, you should know who I am. If you can help me in, I will definitely work hard and buy you drinks often!"

   "I'll treat you to drink for a month! If you hire someone, you have to tell me right away!"

   "Why are you so petty! You don't have to worry about being able to work in the Nak Weaving Factory for the rest of your life! With such a big job, why don't you buy Randall wine for at least three months!"

"Haha, no, no, we are all friends. If there is any new news, I will definitely tell you. If such a little thing is good, you look down on me too much." Randall enjoyed being surrounded by people The feeling that people need.

  The workers of the other Nak weaving factories were also lost in this feeling. They did not speak as generously as Randall, accepted the benefits of everyone, and answered everyone's request loudly.

  At this time, another six or seven strong men entered the tavern one after another. After ordering a large glass of beer each, they sat around Randall and other workers of the Nak Weaving Factory with unkind eyes.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, brothers, I promise you! As long as our factory is about to recruit people, I will tell you as soon as possible, so that you can apply before everyone else! If I still If I have the ability, I will also speak good words for everyone on Mr. Andre's side..." More and more people surrounded him, making Randall a little breathless, he pushed them away, publicly committed.

   "As expected of Randall! Just enough loyalty!"

   "You do what you want, I still want to treat you to this wine!"

   "That's right! You have helped us so much, and it would be embarrassing if we didn't express it! How about we pay for the drinks of the brothers from the Nak Weaving Factory who came to drink today?"

   "Yes, I agree!"

  Randall smiled helplessly: "Wait until I go to the bathroom, and drink it when I come back!"

   After finishing speaking, the crowd consciously backed away, and Randall got up and walked unsteadily towards the bathroom.

   A strong man sitting where he passed by seemed to be drinking wine by himself, but his legs stretched out when he was not paying attention.

"Oops!" Randall, whose eyes were blurred, didn't see his feet at all, and was tripped by the outstretched leg of the strong man. Before he could say anything, the strong man threw the wine glass on the ground and asked him to Apologize.

   "Damn! Are you blind! Apologize to me and pay me for my wine!"

"Your leg stuck out out of nowhere and tripped me up, and you want me to pay for your wine? Why?!" Although the strong man is tall and mighty, but the request is too unreasonable, and there are so many people who flatter him, Rand Er stood up and did not back down.

   "This is a public place, I can stretch my legs as much as I want! If you hit me and spilled my wine, you should pay me!" The strong man approached Randall.

   Randall was provoked into anger: "You should apologize to me!"

"boom!"

   Just when the strong man was about to speak, a wine glass was thrown from nowhere and hit him on the head with precision.

   Immediately afterwards, shouts came from the tavern that could not be traced in the specific direction.

   "The workers of the Nak weaving factory beat someone!"

   "The workers of the Nak weaving factory beat someone!"
