Rebirth 1960: Bankrupt Hong Kong Island Rich

After the two parties sat down, Lin Chaozong said bluntly: "I understand everything about your matter, including the cause. The factory's fault in this matter is not your fault. And you stand up bravely for your own rights. , I admire it very much. But you used the wrong method, you should never have clashed with the police.”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him anxiously, Lin Chaozong smiled: "I am not blaming you, but I want to say that you are very impulsive. Of course, if it weren't for your impulsiveness, the Hong Kong Governor's Office would not take this matter so seriously. thing. And I'm not going to meet you here to talk about it."

"Mr. Lin..." One of the worker representatives, his name is Dai Ziping, looked at Lin Chaozong very uneasy: "Now, are you negotiating with us to solve our problem?"

"Of course! You can tell me what you want now. If I can help you solve it, I will definitely solve it!"

Dai Ziping quickly said: "Our request is very simple, that is, to get back our wages and a compensation. Why should he fire workers at San Po Kong Plastic Flower Factory? If there is no such job, many people can only Starved to death on the street. Mr. Lin, you must be the master for us!"

"that's it?"

Lin Chaozong looked at these ordinary workers in surprise.

In his opinion, even if these people have little knowledge, since they can organize this strike, at least they will make some excessive demands.

But they didn't.

They just want their salary back and solve the problem of starving their families.

It's very simple, but no one has ever witnessed it.

The factory owner didn't do anything about it, neither did the people in the police station solve it, and the people in the Hong Kong Governor's Office didn't even try to understand it.

They only care about their own interests, only about their own duties, just so that things can calm down.

Lin Chaozong felt worthless for their actions. Two people died, dozens of others were arrested, and even thousands of people were injured because of the conflict.I'm afraid these people don't have the money to heal their injuries.

Just carry it so hard?

"You..." Lin Chaozong looked at the worker representative with a choked voice and said, "Is there really no other request?"

"Mr. Lin, please seek justice for us."

Everyone's eyes were full of longing.

Looking at these people, Lin Chaozong took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you! However, this is not the only request. Think about it, do you have any other needs?" Asking for salary, this is what they should give, but those capitalists must respect you. Otherwise, you succeeded this time, but next time, you will encounter such a thing. Think about it, I am here waiting for you! "

"We...we can't even get a response to the most basic demands. If we ask for more, they may not agree."

Dai Ziping's words touched Lin Chaozong's heart again.

He stared at everyone, and spoke at a calm pace: "With me here... I will definitely guarantee your interests!"

Chapter 474 Three Requirements, You Must Persevere

Lin Chaozong's reputation is very good.

The workers in front of him, after getting the guarantee, did not rush to put forward their own conditions, but kept telling Lin Chaozong's good things with a grateful heart.

After Lin Chaozong comforted them again, they began to discuss what kind of conditions should be raised to satisfy the interests of the workers!

Some people say that wages should be paid on time, and you should be able to take two days off every month. It would be even better if you can have some gifts during the holidays!

Some people also asked whether they could increase their wages. Their current wages are really difficult to support a family.Their children are just living the lowest life.They want to go to a better school, but the huge tuition fees keep them out.

And they can only accept that kind of cheap school, learn some characters and do some arithmetic.

As for the rest, they never thought about it.

Others also asked whether it is possible to set up a permanent union of workers. In this way, if something like this happens again next time, the union of workers can go on strike, but the police cannot interfere with their behavior.The other thing is, let them live with some dignity!At least the factory manager can treat them as individuals, not that kind of extremely cheap animals.

What these people say is just the most basic.

And it should be approved by the Xiangjiang government and the factory owner.

Otherwise, why should these workers work hard for them?

But after all, no substantive conditions were put forward.

Lin Chaozong had to say to them: "When you worked in the factory, did you have fixed working hours, such as a fixed eight hours a day?"

Everyone shook their heads quickly!

That Dai Ziping said: "Our working hours are often more than ten hours. If the factory has a lot of orders, we may have to work twelve hours a day, or even fourteen hours. Mr. Lin, can we ask How about shortening the working hours?"

Lin Chaozong suddenly fell silent. In fact, he really wanted to say that their Qingshan Group works eight hours a day.

After eight hours of work, if you need to work overtime, you need to pay [-] times the wages.

However, not all the factories in Xiangjiang are the kind of factories with excellent profits.

If he said yes, most of the factories would probably close down in an instant.

Dai Ziping saw Lin Chaozong's face was a little bit embarrassed, but he comforted him: "Actually, the working hours only need to be no more than twelve hours. Our bodies can handle it."

"no……"

Lin Chaozong gritted his teeth, and said with a determined look: "All European countries are implementing the eight-hour working day system, why can't we Xiangjiang? If we can't even do this, how can we rise. So I ask you, you must insist on working eight hours a day, and you can rest two days a week...one day off. If you exceed this time, you must pay [-] times the usual hourly wages. Remember what I said, no matter what Do not change under any circumstances. Do you understand?"

Everyone was amazed and looked at Lin Chaozong in bewilderment.

"Is this... is it really possible?"

"Why not? Now that things have developed to this point, the system must be reformed to the end. Don't worry, I will finally discuss this matter with the Hong Kong Governor's Office. If they don't agree, I guarantee that all of you can enter I work under Qingshan Group!"

Although Lin Chaozong didn't have the ability to accommodate everyone at this time.

But he can guarantee the basic wages of these people.

In the future, when those enterprises can't support themselves, he can openly take their market into his own hands.

It will definitely be a happy result in the end.

But there is also a certain risk in doing so, that is, being targeted by the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

Although most of the Hong Kong Governor's House is their own people, the remaining three British foreign firms are not without background.Later, when they report to England, he, Lin Chaozong, will inevitably be restrained.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Lin Chaozong said again: "Apart from working hours, should you also consider your basic salary? You...you seem to be called Dai Ziping, what was your original salary?"

"[-] Hong Kong dollars, and according to your working hours, you can get up to about [-] Hong Kong dollars. But if you are vacant or don't arrive on time, you will be deducted by the factory boss."

Lin Chaozong nodded, then looked at another person and said, "What about you?"

"My salary is [-] Hong Kong dollars. Like Ziping, if you do more, you can get more. However, if you do less, you will not even get the [-] Hong Kong dollars salary, and some will be deducted. Hey... …We work at the San Po Kong Plastic Flower Factory, and we really dare not be absent, otherwise we will not be able to guarantee even the most basic life!"

Lin Chaozong asked several worker representatives again, their situation was basically the same as that of Dai Ziping.

There is no fixed base salary, let alone an hourly salary.In short, how much they can get every month depends entirely on the mood of the factory owner.

This made Lin Chaozong couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart: What is Yang Bailao who is riding a horse? The bosses of these workers are the real Yang Bailao!

"Now the salary that Xiangjiang can calculate is 230 Hong Kong dollars per month. But you have not even reached the average level. So this is extremely unfair to you, the most basic workers. Therefore, what you want to propose The second requirement is to increase your wages! The third point, as he said just now, is to establish a labor union to protect the interests of our workers. Once such exploitative capitalists appear, then you must uphold justice for the workers .As for the corresponding legal regulations, I will go to the Governor of Hong Kong to discuss it. You don’t need to get involved in this matter.”

"In short, you have to remember that these three points were brought up by you yourself. You must not say that I guided you, understand? This matter will be resolved within a month at most. If you believe me, Lin Chaozong, After returning, immediately tell these workers to let them go back and stop conflicting with the government. As for those workers who have been detained, I will find a way to let the police release them.”

"Also, if you really can't live this month, I will help you. But I took the initiative to give it to you. When your work stabilizes in the future, you must repay the cost."

One cannot lose motivation!

Otherwise, his free will only make these people slack off.

Therefore, even if they have difficulties, they must repay the relief expenses.

This is a question of principle!

Chapter 475 Establishing an Independent Kingdom of the Chinese

After getting the guarantee from Lin Chaozong, the workers' representatives left one after another.

That afternoon, the workers who were still making trouble on the street dispersed on their own.

In addition, workers who were detained in cells were also released.

It's just that these people have been tortured a lot in the prison cells, and most of them have some injuries on their bodies.

Lin Chaozong told them that they could go to Qingshan Medical Center for treatment.

They don't need to pay for this fee!

After dealing with these matters, Lin Chaozong met with Ji Da in a high-end hotel in the evening.

Lin Chaozong told Ji Da the three demands put forward by the workers' representatives.

Ji Da suddenly frowned!

Because such a thing is impossible to achieve in Xiangjiang.

Take the first point, working eight hours a day, it is impossible.

European countries can achieve this, mainly due to the products they produce, most of which are high value-added products.Such as radio, TV and so on.

The cost may only be three to five hundred Hong Kong dollars, but the selling price can be five to six thousand and so on.The ratio reached ten times and twenty times.

But most of the factories in Xiangjiang, the things they produce are light industries.

For example, for products such as clothes, you may only earn ten Hong Kong dollars if you sell three or four pieces.

So if it is true what Lin Chaozong said, then the vast majority of companies will inevitably face bankruptcy.

There is also a second point, the issue of time.

A fixed hourly rate can be set, but it doesn't make much sense.

If the hourly wages of hands and veterans are the same, whose opinion is greater?

And this third point, workers form their own trade unions.

They first need to understand the laws and regulations of Xiangjiang, and then do their own limited things according to these regulations.

But Xiangjiang is quite special, and it is impossible to allow such a situation to happen.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to form a classification of high and low.

Many British businessmen would not stay here!

Therefore, Ji Da directly shook his head and rejected Lin Chaozong.Of course, he also stated his reasons.

For this, Lin Chaozong actually understood.

But since he has agreed to those workers' representatives, he will try his best to persuade the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

But Ji Da didn't let go, saying that this matter could not be handled.And said that Lin Chaozong's previous method is feasible.Designate industrial zones and force other factories to reform to improve workers' rights.

But it takes a long time.

Even if Lin Chaozong continued to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, it would take five to ten years to complete.

Now that the two sides can't reach an agreement, Lin Chaozong can only use other methods to fight for the rights and interests of the workers!

"How about this, Master Ji, let the Chinese set up an organization to manage Chinese enterprises, and the Hong Kong Governor's Office can supervise it aside. As long as it is not illegal, then everything is reasonable."

Ji Da stroked his chin and thought for a long time before saying, "Like a labor union? But Xiangjiang still has a lot of British factories. Do they also want Chinese to manage them? This...is not in the interests of the UK! Mr. Lin, Wharf There, I can give you more batches, but... this matter, just forget it, okay?"

"never mind?"

Lin Chaozong couldn't help but sneered: "Master Ji, there are some things that the plan cannot keep up with the changes. You asked me to solve the workers' disturbance, and I will solve it for you. But I will do what I promised the workers. Otherwise Who will trust my reputation, Lin Chaozong? Moreover, I have worked very hard to resolve this matter without affecting the Government of Hong Kong. If Master Ji still has this casual attitude, I guarantee that in the future Such things will happen again. At that time, Master Ji will come to me to solve the problem, so I can only decline."

Those who are on horseback, after the matter is done, they don't even admit it.

If this is an ordinary person, I'm afraid it's okay.

But he, Lin Chaozong, is not afraid of this Ji Da, if the talk is going to collapse, then he will spend hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, ruining your reputation.

Let's see who is ruthless!

What's more, a mere personal assistant really treats himself like a green onion.

Even the governor of the Hong Kong governor's mansion has to listen to him carefully, who are you.

As for Ji Da, after hearing Lin Chaozong's threat, his attitude was much better.

He said: "Mr. Lin, if you can solve the problem of British capital in Xiangjiang factory, then I will listen to you!"

Hearing this, Lin Chaozong's face softened a lot.He said slowly: "British factories, they should abide by British laws. If they can't even do this, I can provide these workers with the most professional team of lawyers for free."

Rolling his eyes at Ji Da, Lin Chaozong said again: "The Chinese manage the Chinese, I will go to the Governor of Hong Kong and ask him to set up a "Chinese Labor Law". The specific content is probably the three points mentioned by the workers. First, set a fixed working time. This working time is only eight hours. If the working time exceeds eight hours, if you continue to work, you will have to pay 30.00 times the hourly wage. Second, each factory should according to its own situation , Establish an hourly salary. The hourly salary is a monthly salary that can only be lower than [-]% of the average salary in Xiangjiang, and then divided by the working hours to get the salary. Third, set up a Chinese court to handle Chinese disputes. "
