Chapter 40: Where there is concern, there is weakness
But after all, these factory owners are scattered all over the place, and it is impossible for Tom to use a lot of manpower and material resources to monitor these people at all times.
What if these people were like workers' unions and held some factory owners' meetings secretly?
In the end, the factory owners united to fight against Tom Smith. What should Tom do?
Let’s not talk about the question raised by Tom before about gratitude for a million-year salary versus a 10,000-year salary.
Assume that these people are really not satisfied with their current life, which is dozens of times better than their previous life in Germany.
Not satisfied with the better life compared to the front-line employees around me,
Give it all up, shut down key management jobs, and confront Tom.
Trying to get back their due income.
Then Tom really has no good way to deal with it.
When that time comes, these people will actually be an extremely powerful force.
If factory owners can really unite, the power of unity will be invincible.
But concern is the greatest weakness of human beings.
Where there are concerns, there are weaknesses.
Most of the veterans are former front-line soldiers who retired from the battlefield.
Taking some of the older veterans in the Smith family as an example, Tom knew that the more people come back from hell, the more they value bonds.
Without the support of faith from these family members, it would be impossible for a person to maintain mental stability in a meat grinder environment like the battlefield.
Not everyone is the God of War who has returned. With a single order, millions of heavenly soldiers and generals will help you regain your position.
The source of motivation for ordinary people to persevere on the bloody battlefields of the nineteenth century.
It is nothing more than the spiritual motivation transformed by their longing for their families.
The power of longing is supporting these ordinary people.
Ordinary cannot be found in ordinary most people.
The families of these people all live in Houston, a city directly under the jurisdiction of Tom Smith.
Do veterans really dare to ignore the safety of their only spiritual support and gain more benefits?
And on the premise that the quality of life has been greatly improved, do you still want to sacrifice the lives of the whole family in exchange for more benefits?
Tom also gave these veterans a dose of vaccination.
The greedy former factory owner and his family members who died on the night of the bloody gun were the nominal seniors of the veterans.
Tom Smith can kill 30,000 people in one night, but can't he kill 50,000 people in one night?
——————
December 25, 1866
Three days after the night of blood gun,
Christmas,
"Dong dong dong!"
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"Boom!"
"Confirmed, they are family members of the former owner of Factory No. 68."
"boom!"
"Take the body away and move on to the next family."
The executioners armed with silver guns have not stopped searching and executing.
They traveled between cities in Texas, looking for the fish that slipped through the net during the bloody night.
Why doesn’t anyone, especially no kind-hearted employees, oppose Tom’s inhumane behavior?
The reason is simple. Even though it is already Christmas, it is still overtime day, and every factory in the Smith Factory Area is still operating.
How can front-line employees have time to care about the life and death of their former factory owner?
When they arrested the factory owner, I didn't care because I was working overtime.
When they arrested the warehouse owner, I didn't care because I was working overtime.
When they made Tom Smith emperor, I didn't care because I was working overtime.
As long as employees are kept busy, Tom firmly believes:
If the gun is not pointed at these employees, these employees will not care about anything outside.
Of course Tom would not point the gun at his dearest employee.
After all, even if all the capitalists, factory owners, and farmers around the world die,
Factories can continue to produce goods,
The farm can still continue to farm.
But if the employee dies, even if only 10% of the employees die,
The industrial chain is broken every minute, and factories are shut down every minute.
On Christmas, a day celebrated by the whole Christian community, employees will not care about these trivial matters that have nothing to do with them.
To a certain extent, Tom is not unkind. Tom still knows that in the Christian world, Christmas is still a holiday.
The eighteen-hour working day on weekdays is reduced on Christmas Day.
On this good day, employees only have to work fourteen hours before going home.
Tom Smith is so kind.
Christmas is a full four-hour holiday.
Such a good capitalist is truly an unparalleled benevolent person in the world.
Tom was sitting in the office, halfway through processing documents, when a secretary told him that it was time to attend the Smith family's Christmas dinner.
"boom!"
The good man angrily smashed the cup in his hand on the ground.
"Shit Jesus!"
“Why do we have to commemorate this fictional character’s birthday!”
“It’s the birthday of the silly Christ, so every employee of mine lost four hours of work.”
In the past few months, Tom's body had been exhausted from daily massages and baths.
Coupled with the three-hour workload every day, Tom has no time to care about what day it is today.
When I heard the words "Secretary's Christmas Dinner", I instantly recalled this day that I hate the most in my life.
In my first life, I didn’t have a girlfriend because everyone showed off their girlfriends in their friend circles.
The reason for the second and third life is that everyone has a holiday on that day, so I have to work four hours less, so I still have to work three hours normally.
Even if Tom does nothing on Christmas, he can't work less than four hours, and at most three hours.
Christmas is so unfair to capitalists.
Tom once again missed the serfs under Lafayette.
"It's better for them, they don't have any holidays that they have to take off."
"Even during the Spring Festival, you just need to add a few more meat dumplings to your dinner."
"Jesus, can you please help me? Please do me a favor and call that old man with the red hat and white beard."
"Ride on an elk sleigh and bring 30 million employees to me as Christmas gifts."
"The more I talk about it, the more I want it."
"Uuuuuuuah, why can't I get such a good employee?"
In Tom's eyes, working fourteen hours a day is no different from taking a vacation directly.
Tom once again missed the best employee in the world on this greatest day of Christianity.
That group of more than 30 million employees who are thousands of miles away.
Without religious belief, there would be no religious festivals.
My life before was extremely miserable, and I was willing to work as hard as a horse if I was given a few sweet dates.
They are also suffering from the poison of Confucian culture and clan culture, and are willing to sacrifice for their own elderly, weak, women and children at a price that other ethnic groups simply cannot imagine.
These things are the most perfect employee qualities.
"Boss, why are you crying? Are you okay?"
The secretary thoughtfully took out a handkerchief and helped Tom wipe away his tears.
Tom looked at the Slav next to him, who was originally from Tsarist Russia and a devout believer in the Orthodox Church.
"Do you remember I said that you guys are the second best employees in the world?"
"Um."
"I miss my best employees."
"Then why doesn't the boss recruit them? I have to cry alone here."
"You don't understand, only when you lose it do you know how to cherish it."
With the help of the secretary's little hands, Tom wiped away his tears and straightened his clothes and hair style.
When attending a dinner party, as the head of the family, how can you not pay attention to your appearance and image?
"Stop talking, the best employees in the world, just wait."
"I, Tom Smith, will definitely save you from the dire straits of the serf society."
"Let you experience the life of blessed employees under the carrot of capital 120 years in advance."
After finishing his dressing, Tom looked at the extremely handsome face in the mirror.
Tom feels that he is already a time traveler, so why should he be restrained?
Isn't it what a time traveler should do to do things that ordinary people dare not do?
