Blackstone Code Chapter 1517: Special order
In December, the mood of the general election was overwhelming.
Old John's face finally became more relaxed, but the sorrow still did not completely leave.
He watched the candidates defend on TV, and watched Mr. Trueman maintain his good demeanor and straight spine in the face of those who made trouble for him. Old John likes this kind of person.
From Mr. Truman, he saw a kind of strength, a kind of responsibility, a kind of spirit that will not be bent!
Like their workers!
Old John took out a loan and, along with the others, became the owner of the factory.
Everyone was very happy at first, and finally it was their turn to become the owners of the factory, but soon they encountered the first problem-
You think it's an order problem?
No, it's a matter of people's changing mindsets!
When everyone raised money to buy the factory, everyone considered themselves part of the factory, or they thought part of the factory belonged to them.
There is nothing wrong with this view. The problem is that you can't bring these attitudes into your work, otherwise you will have a big problem.
But people were inexperienced and they continued to work as before, and it didn't take long for them to run into trouble.
A worker was found by the workshop supervisor while he was slacking off.
The supervisor scolded him as before, and threatened to fire him if he was found to be lazy again!
But soon the lazy worker started making trouble, and he asked to withdraw his shares!
He feels exploited and treated badly, he is one of the shareholders of this factory, and even if he may indeed be a little lazy, he is also a shareholder!
He deserves to be treated like a shareholder, not like he used to be!
Even if he does something wrong, the supervisor should talk to him on an equal footing and not as a superior.
Now no one is more noble than the other, everyone is a shareholder of the factory, they can't treat themselves like this!
In an environment like a factory, the most afraid of encountering is such a thorn.
He can make trouble, dare to make trouble, some conflicts that are usually backlog will be detonated immediately, and in the noise of this guy, some people stand up to support his decision.
Actually, among so many workers who raised funds, many of them made decisions impulsive in an instant and under the collective consciousness.
Like Old John, he is one of those people who, on impulse, took out a loan to buy shares in the factory, and raised money to work with everyone. .
Actually after he calmed down, he started to regret it.
Losing a job is scary, but with such a large loan, it's even scarier!
It's just that Old John's character is dull, and even if he is dissatisfied with his choice, he won't show it.
But some people are different. They took advantage of this opportunity to make trouble together and insisted on withdrawing shares!
Some people make trouble, and someone needs to solve it. After the final meeting, the factory made some decisions.
First give these leaders the decision to allow them to withdraw from the stock, and the part of the money for the withdrawal will be paid by the entire management of the factory.
It's not too hard for them to share it evenly, everyone can afford it.
Secondly, in terms of work management style, new regulations have also been made, requiring cadres not to manage the workshop situation as brutally and brutally as in the past, and to solve problems through communication instead of intimidation and threats.
These were all agreed upon by the General Assembly and seemed very appropriate, and everyone was working in a moderate atmosphere.
But it actually got worse, because next, there was not enough orders.
In the past, people from the Duncan family were in charge. Although they exploited and squeezed the workers as much as possible, requiring them to work overtime on their own initiative all day long, as far as the order issue was concerned, there would only be more or less.
This is also the reason why workers always work overtime. There are too many orders and they have to be completed on time. The best solution is to work overtime.
People didn't like the previous management, they didn't like the Duncan family, everyone worked really hard with them.
But now, without these people, everyone has a feeling of incomprehensible.
In the past, the order did not require them to run, and someone would take the initiative to deliver it to the table in the factory manager's office.
Nowadays those people are reluctant to place orders for them even though they're calling around and offering items at a lower price.
If you can't get the order, there is no way to start work, everyone can only wait.
The whole factory went from busy to silent and lifeless, with a huge stone pressing down on everyone's heart.
Recently, someone talked about the issue of withdrawing shares. Old John also wanted to withdraw shares. So far, in a few months, they have not received any orders at all except for some previous orders.
Guy
The city hall verbally said it would give them some help, but so far nothing has been seen.
This kind of days without a future makes people feel more and more panicked and more hopeless.
It's not just this one factory that's having problems, it's another factory that's having problems.
Both factories are in trouble, and the city hall has recently intervened, but what they mean is that after the election is over and the new presidential cabinet comes out, they will decide what to do.
After all, next year's new policy may be a little different from the current one, which also makes the two factories a little calmer.
In fact, this is not uncommon. It has happened to many individuals who have been freed from the control of the Duncan family and bought the factory with funds raised by the workers.
Internal management problems and external lack of market competitiveness are rapidly killing some of them.
Old John was very anxious. He was saddled with a heavy loan and no new income.
Fortunately, City Hall will intervene, as long as the election is over...
"...Mr. Truman, we have heard a lot of your views and opinions, but we rarely find content related to economic development in these content. Have you also done corresponding work? What?"
"Or, you didn't think about it?"
The Conservative candidates went on the offensive, and he and his team researched some of the campaign work on Mr. Truman and found that they didn't have much to offer in terms of economic construction.
This has given a lot of encouragement to the Conservative team, who see this as a good opportunity, a good entry point.
The Commonwealth is a capitalist society where everything revolves around wealth and people only care about wealth.
If Mr. Trueman has no plans in this regard, he will leave a bad impression on the capitalists, which will be detrimental to subsequent elections.
Mr. Trueman smiled reservedly. He glanced at his opponent. "Actually I have more plans than you think!"
"We all know that we cannot avoid the issue of war for the next four or even eight years."
"It's not that we want to take the initiative to invade other countries and violate the interests of other countries, but a small group of countries headed by the Pengio Empire, trying to subvert the order and peace of the world!"
"We must accept the challenge and win, in order to protect the peace and to protect our legitimate rights and interests."
"During the war, the federal society will enter a state of war, and we will dispatch a large number of orders to private factories!"
Mr. Truman glanced at his opponent not far away, "From large military equipment, to a bullet, to a piece of clothing, a pair of leather boots, and even a biscuit!"
"We have calculated once that after the outbreak of the war, we will at least take out more than 5 billion more orders each year than now and distribute them to private enterprises."
"With the war bonds we issued, whether it's an ordinary worker or some big capitalist in society, as long as they want, they can get what they want."
The reaction of the Conservative candidate was also quick, and he followed up and asked, "Wealth cannot be born for no reason, so can it be said that you intend to plunder wealth by means of war?"
"This is not plunder, this is a compensatory act by the aggressors to us, they want to destroy the peace and destroy the order of the world, then they have to make amends for their behavior!"
Mr. Trueman's counterattack was also very quick, and his words were indeed a bit... overly aggressive in the eyes of conservatives.
A few years ago, the Federation was still propagating not to interfere in the changes of the international community. Now it must not only actively participate in the war, but also find ways to plunder wealth.
Conservatives certainly don't take this idea easily, but centrists and radicals are very pleased with Mr. Truman's answer.
As it should be, seek wealth from the outside to satisfy the need for profit from within!
Old John's eyes also lit up. If Mr. Trueman is telling the truth, it means that their factory also has a chance to get a government order!
With some other influences, old John has made a decision in his heart that he is going to vote for Mr. Truman!
Actually, this is also the answer given by Lynch when Lynch and Mr. Trueman deal with the legacy of the Duncan family.
Instead of letting those jackals who can never get enough to feed off these corporate factories~IndoMTL.com~ let workers lose their jobs and cause social unrest, it is better to activate their vitality directly!
Actually, this approach will not work in ordinary times, when there is no war, or when there are no special circumstances.
Because it is impossible for the government to have additional, large-scale orders to these private enterprises to complete.
Even if there is, it's unlikely to last long.
But in a state of war, anything is possible!
You must know that once the war begins, a large amount of materials will be transported to the front line. It can be said that there will suddenly be millions of people in the society.
In addition to the native people of the Federation who need these things, the World Development Council and even all the countries that have been affected by the war and stand on the side of the Federation need these things.
From airplanes, self-propelled artillery, battleships, to weapons, to bullets, to the simplest clothes, leather boots, medicine, food...
They all want it!
