Chapter 612： Worsen

As soon as the newspaper was published, the Dakoer textile mill strike quickly became a hot topic in society.

The Royal Government of Lombardy quickly intervened in the incident. The first victims were several news agencies in Milan. The person in charge was invited by the Government Information Administration to have coffee.

Newspapers have the responsibility to reveal the truth. Of course, it doesn't matter if they don't report. At the most, they affect the credibility of the newspaper and do not constitute a crime.

If there is a bargain of interest and deliberate concealment of the truth of the news, it is a crime.

Now newspaper reporters from all over the country are here, but the local newspapers in Milan have not responded, so they must be questioned.

There is no doubt that the end result is nothing. Now that you dare to help cover up, naturally you are ready.

There has always been business between newspapers and companies. The transaction of interest is not necessarily direct cash. It is scattered in the advertising business. It is very difficult to find out.

For example: Milan Daily, the newspapers sent reporters far away early. In addition to daily operations staff, several editors went to Vienna for vacation.

High-level officials were absent, and the reporters were all dispatched. Under the situation of insufficient manpower, it did not seem to be possible to find that the Dakoer textile factory went on strike.

Avoiding the investigation does not mean that the matter is over. For a news agency, the most important thing is credibility. Who would order your newspaper without credibility?

Many smart people have come to their senses, this time the Ludwig II needle is probably not aimed at the Dakol textile mill. After all, such a large enterprise is very important to the economic development of the Kingdom of Lombardy. What should happen if it falls and causes mass unemployment?

The king also needs to consider the consequences. Instead, he will attack the domestic newspapers, which is more likely.

This year, when you have mastered the newspaper, you have mastered public opinion. Ludwig II wanted to consolidate the kingship, and it was normal for him to reach out to the newspaper.

It was still Franz who took the lead and started a newspaper before succeeding him. Not to mention after the succession, which Austrian mainstream newspaper is not affected by the royal family?

This effect has proven useful. In the newspaper, the image of the royal family suddenly became taller.

Of course, there are many followers. Now it is still at the peak of the monarchy. European kings are in control of power.

The Lombard royal family is a foreigner, so the action is naturally slower. Having been in business for so many years, now is the time to reach out to public opinion.

Knowing and knowing, but there is no evidence. The royal family has no relationship with the newspaper in the Ming Dynasty. The newspaper was warned by the government as the best proof.

It is inevitable to accept Lu'an secretly, otherwise it would not be so easy to get through this time.

If you really want to get in trouble, you can actually make the advertising business an exchange of benefits. Price can't fool people, many problems are obvious when looking up advertising costs.

Ludwig II's actions were not kept secret, and Franz was informed as soon as possible in Vienna.

This is an internal matter of the Lombard kingdom, and Franz naturally does not interfere. The king reached for the newspaper, which was a trivial matter.

To some extent, this is also a good start. In power, the emperor and the king stood in the same trench, while Ludwig II consolidated the king's power, it also consolidated the king's power.

This can be seen from the opinion orientation in Vienna. The newspaper hardly attacked several domestic kings, and even if they were cursing, they arrested the state government.

Franz didn't care what Ludwig II was going to do. Instead, he was worried about the Dakore textile mill strike.

If not resolved quickly, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction. In this regard, European workers are still very united. As long as someone starts, there is no shortage of imitators.

"Sir, this is an urgent telegram from the Kingdom of Lombardy."

The maid's voice sounded in Franz's ear, interrupting his thinking.

I took the file by hand, and after glancing at it for a first time, Franz had to admit that he also has a crow attribute.

"It's too good to be bad, it's bad to be bad." Just now I was worried that the strike at the Dakoer Textile Mill will trigger a chain reaction, and now things have happened.

After "changing wheat into mulberry," the grain of the Lombard Kingdom relied on domestic supplies. Compared with grain-producing areas, prices are naturally much higher.

This means that the cost of living is high, which does not mean that wages are also high. Due to the proximity to Italy, Italians often come to work, resulting in labor wages in Milan.

Compared to most parts of Austria, the wage level in the Lombardy Kingdom is at a low level. Contradictions arise when income is low and expenses are high.

The strike at the Dakol textile mill is just a microcosm. The Kingdom of Lombardy has always been the region with the highest number of strikes in Austria and none of them.

The strike is contagious. Affected by the strike at the Dakore textile mill, workers in several surrounding factories have also followed up. Strikes are spreading in the kingdom of Lombardy.

Putting down the documents, Franz: "Notify the cabinet to come to the meeting and call the Minister of Labor."

The crisis still broke out. The late 19th century was a period of rapid economic growth, and it was also the period when the labor-management conflict was the worst.

Strikes during this period were frequent. Some capitalists also used machine guns to fire at workers. Similarly, some capitalists were directly destroyed by workers. All in all, it was chaos.

The eight-hour work system in later generations was during this period when countless workers won their lives.

Affected by Franz's butterfly effect, the eight-hour work system of this time and space came earlier, and now workers are fighting for treatment.

Despite the Labour Protection Act, the problem is that everyone's salary is still not high. This is not something the government can decide on, but only by the workers themselves.

The relationship between market supply and demand determines the price of the labor market. Now is the time when everyone fights for salary, and the final result is still unknown.

The "Labour Protection Law" protects the interests of both employers and employees. Workers can offer treatment, capitalists can refuse, and no one can force them.

When it comes to competing interests, this war is bound to be protracted. Before long, it will no longer be a problem for the Austrian family. No one in Europe will be able to run away from all the industrial countries in Europe.

...

After seeing the contents of the telegram, the rushed crowd couldn't care less about the rest. We all know the news of the strike at the Dakoer textile mill, but it took only two days to spread to the entire Lombard kingdom.

The number of people participating in the strike is no longer the original 100,000, but has reached a staggering 300,000. This number is still increasing.

Franz: "You've all seen the telegram, and the situation is worse than we estimated in advance. Not only the Kingdom of Lombardy, but the same problem exists in other parts of Austria.

If nothing else, a national strike, or even a strike across Europe, is about to happen.

This kind of thing is unstoppable, what we can do is to come up with an emergency plan as soon as possible, so as not to get busy in time.

The Ministry of Labor warns poorly paid companies: If they don't want to face a big strike, then take the initiative to raise their salaries!

Tell them that the government will not interfere until the situation gets out of control. If the situation gets out of control, whoever is responsible will be responsible. "

The companies with poor treatment are basically traditional industries. Emerging industries are in a period of rapid development, and the quality of workers is also higher. Treatment is naturally not bad.

Now that capitalists want to avoid strikes, the best option is to increase workers' treatment. How many capitalists can listen to it, Franz is not sure.

But one thing is for sure, if you stop production and your competitors do not stop production, it won't be long before your market share is gone. Conversely, you can also take advantage of competitors' markets.

This is a crisis and an opportunity. After rising labor costs, if you continue to be unmotivated, it is estimated that it will be eliminated by the market soon.

The era of survival of the fittest is about to begin. In the following market competition, companies without core technology will not be so comfortable.

Prime Minister Felix proposed: "Your Majesty, otherwise we raise the minimum wage and give the capitalists a wake-up call so that some people do not take it seriously."

Franz hesitated that raising the minimum wage was indeed effective. It's just that human intervention in the market can easily lead to unpredictable consequences, and there are certain risks.

"You can first let out the wind and let the local government formulate a minimum wage standard according to the actual local conditions."

After much deliberation, Franz decided to test it first. Enterprise management these days is quite confusing. It is really difficult for outsiders to determine how much capitalists are profitable and how much they can tolerate labor costs.

Some industries are obviously profiteering and can make money casually. However, some people are losing money. The core problem is management confusion.

The companies with chaotic management are not one and two, but are common in the whole society.

The viability of these enterprises is very poor. They have almost no ability to resist risks. They can make money because of a good market environment, low labor costs, and cheap raw materials.

If any of them fails, they will soon be in trouble. Now that the Austrian economy is in a transition period, these companies will be eliminated by the market under normal circumstances.

It can be eliminated by the market, but it cannot be eliminated by administrative intervention. These are two concepts.

Franz didn't want to be a scapegoat for the capitalists. He was clearly not good at business, but he put the responsibility on the government and turned it into a negative example of the government's intervention in the market.

...

At the headquarters of the Dakoer Textile Mill, the old Lanuo was sighing alone. The strikes have spread and the situation is no longer under his control.

The matter has reached this stage. The Dakoer textile mill has reached a point of life and death. Once it is not handled properly, he has fortunately struggled for most of his life and the company is over.

Concessions to workers and business to resume production? He could do so before the news spread. Now if you do that, you have to consider the consequences.

There is no way, this wave of strikes was caused by the Dakoer Textile Factory. If we take the lead in compromising the workers, it will inevitably further stimulate the wave of strikes. By then, not one or two offenders will be offended.

Capitalists with impaired interests will surely write a note to them in their hearts. Offending so many people, including many partners, the future of Dakol Textile Mill, it really has no bright future.

Without compromise, such a factory shutdown now costs at least tens of thousands of Aegis every day. That's all. The Dakoer Textile Mill, which is a big business, can afford to lose.

The key is that there are not many stocks in the Dakoer textile mill. Once the inventory is sold out, if there is no timely replenishment of the goods, the market share will be snatched by competitors.

For a company, short-term losses are not terrible, it is terrible to lose market share.

Losing the market may require only one wrong decision; if you want to recapture the market, it depends on the competitors not agreeing.

Xiao Lannuo said in a deep voice: "Father, we can't sit still anymore. At this step, we must make a compromise.

The big deal is to abandon a part of the shares after the event and attract more people to come in. The problem can always be solved.

Now dragging on like this has no effect on the overall situation except for increasing losses.

The wave of strikes is now intensifying and is spreading everywhere, perhaps even more than the Great Revolution of 1848. "

In the face of cruel reality, Xiao Lannuo has advocated compromise. No matter how much, sir saved and talked about the other.

Offending people, as long as they are willing to yield, nothing is a problem. In the capital game, as long as you have enough benefits, the enemy can also become friends.

Old Lannover wandered a few steps: "The situation is not the same as it was in 1848. Just look at the performance of the workers and know that Milan is unlikely to break out in a revolution."

Obviously, the old Ranno had shaken. Milan is not revolutionary, it does not mean that the Dakol textile mill is better. On the contrary, it means they are in danger.

The Lombard government will not allow this situation to continue. In order to stabilize the situation, the Dakore textile mill, which is the source of the storm, is likely to be sacrificed to calm the wave of strikes.

Don't look at them because they are large in size and occupy an important position in Milan's economy. Once the ruling class makes up their minds, in fact they have no resistance.

After a pause, Lao Nuo added: "Let management and workers negotiate, it must be done separately.

Remember, workers must not be held in groups, and conflicts must be created between workers as much as possible. These workers' representatives, in particular, must find excuses to fire them afterwards. "
