Chapter 693 [Chapter of the Fatal Game] One Hundred and Forty-Two: The First Game (Second Half)
The sudden appearance of Freeman Stafford not only surprised the marchers, but also shocked his two colleagues in the House of Representatives.
Everyone worked hard to get into the House of Representatives and spent huge resources to get to where they are today, just to make more money, not for anything else.
They are completely forced to hold this meeting now. If they had more choices, they would not sit in the snow and wind and have to face a mob of 100,000 people that could lose control at any time!
Now, seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Winston Churchill, who had seen blood, was still calm, but Michael Heinrich, who was always behind the scenes, was almost frightened, and sat down as he backed away.
On the ground, his voice, appearance, and posture were all miserable.
They all knew that Freeman was a crazy person, but they didn't expect that he would dare to stand up when faced with such a situation.
After Freeman Stafford came forward, the marchers were also surprised.
They clearly heard the rising-pitched phrase "I think we have a way to solve the problem." The words used in this sentence were all serious and solemn, indicating that he already had a solution!
Although the marchers did not understand some of the words, they were able to understand the tone. They were really surprised, especially the organizers. According to the simulated situation in the strike simulator, this situation would inevitably involve a lot of wrangling and debate, and even
Violent conflicts would break out, and they had long been mentally prepared for this.
But why did the other party immediately have a solution to the problem?
Most of the organizers immediately realized that the other party might really have some idea of solving the problem, or maybe the other party had also learned some knowledge from the simulator - the knowledge in the forum was originally completely open to the public.
Everybody can see it.
After Freeman Stafford stepped forward, Weggie, who had already woken up due to Chen Yan's reminder, also realized that the negotiation must continue, so he stretched out his arms to block the guys around him.
When the guys saw that their bosses had shown their attitude, they stopped insisting.
The muzzle of the gun slowly dropped.
Winston Churchill made a snort of disdain, then opened his mouth and uttered a single syllable that did not exist in the imperial language. The soldiers behind him immediately lowered their guns in unison.
The other marchers who were still carrying their guns looked at the soldiers who lowered their guns, and then looked up at the looming steel defense line on the steps of the House of Representatives in the snowstorm. They gradually gave up and continued the confrontation, and finally put their guns away.
Go down.
With his heart racing, Freeman Stafford clenched his fists to hide his inner excitement. He cleared his throat, took out a document, and pushed it in front of Weggie on the negotiating table.
"That's the guarantee we can make."
The Lords of the House—including Freeman Stafford—prepared three levels of response:
The first level of countermeasures is the document sent to Weggie. In the document, they stipulate [minimum wage standards], formulate [legal provisions and rigid rules for maintaining minimum wage standards], and clearly stipulate [abolition of child labor].
Countermeasures at this level can directly address most of the demonstrators' problems - wages, their biggest concern.
As for the article about [Abolition of Child Labor], it is completely a bonus - the Archbishop from the Imperial Capital is stationed in the Yanan City Council this time, and one of his demands is to abolish the inhumane child labor system in Yanan City - this is from the Imperial Capital
will.
Most of the adults in the House believe that this system is unnecessary because it will not have any impact on them.
The second level of countermeasures is a [verbal agreement] that needs to be certified and approved by Freeman Stafford, Winston Churchill, and Michael Heinrich. The agreement stipulates a [more reasonable]
Wage payment system (changing the salary payment time once a month to once a week, etc.)], [rigid regulations on working hours], [detailed regulations on overtime wages], and a complete [work-related injury compensation system].
The second level of countermeasures deepens the consolidation of various rules in the first level of countermeasures. This was only taken out when the marchers expressed strong dissatisfaction with the first level rules.
The adults in the House knew very well what the demonstrators wanted, but they did not want to decentralize all these powers, because in their view, if these rules were constrained, the productivity of Yanan City would definitely be hit, resulting in tax revenues.
reduce.
The third level of countermeasures requires a call within the House of Representatives to confirm the situation before the marchers can be granted [Imperial Citizenship Certification for Undocumented New Immigrants].
The third level of countermeasures is a complete bombshell for the marchers, because the welfare benefits of a formal citizen of the empire are quite good. Citizenship not only means a monthly relief fund, but also the old
The right to apply for free public rental housing in the north of the city, cheap but decent quality medical insurance... and other conveniences. The most important thing is to be able to apply for school as a citizen, and have the right to apply for student loans and be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees.
.
No matter which public school you can apply for, at least you can read and have access to knowledge. You are not like most illiterate people who are so ignorant that they can't even recognize the letters on a penny and were fooled by someone using coins in a slot machine.
Embracing education is the only way for people to lead a better life.
Most of the new immigrants do not have these most important rights (technical talents like Chen Yan do, because they obtained a work visa from the Byron Weiss Group before entering the empire. The visa itself is proof of identity, which means
so that he can enjoy the same rights as a normal citizen).
The adults in the House of Representatives determined that the third level of countermeasures could have a huge effect on the marchers, because for the vast majority of the marchers, such a right would be so profitable that there was no reason to refuse it.
Due to the influx of a large number of new immigrants in recent years, the empire has not opened citizenship registration and certification for a long time. In fact, there are not many native Rooks in Yanan City. There are more than 30 million people in the city, and there are one million native Rooks.
The people are pretty good, but the remaining 29 million are all new immigrants without citizenship.
Because there were too many new immigrants, and the Yanam City Council was busy eating bread dipped in blood, the plan to [promulgate a new immigration status registration law] was shelved indefinitely, intentionally or unintentionally, by the makers of the rules of the game.
Chen Yan learned about the three-level countermeasures of the House of Representatives from Michael Heinrich's head, and was extremely manic for a moment. If he had a body, his blood pressure would have surged at this moment.
[Damn it! This is people’s right originally! Now let them use it as a treasure to fool people! Damn it!]
Chen Yan even saw their explanation and rhetoric about this from Michael Heinrich's head:
Once the marchers make more demands, they will warn the marchers not to be too greedy. They will use a tougher attitude and comprehensive belittlement of the marchers to create a psychological blow and take advantage of the marchers.
underlying qualities to promote the surrender of more rights.
What Chen Yan couldn't accept was that they had a particularly powerful rhetoric - [It took a full hundred years for the people in the simulator to obtain these powers, which means that it took a hundred years for society to develop to meet people's needs.
, you want it all now, society simply cannot meet your needs!】
