Mr. Vaudric could no longer hold it in when he saw Lynch spouting nonsense. He felt that Lynch was too interesting.
What was even more interesting was the reaction he had expected. It was like watching a comedy with the best actors, the best script, and the best content. How could people not laugh?
Sevillera shook her head. "I don't quite understand."
Mr. Vaudric looked at his daughter. He liked this atmosphere very much. As a father, he would be proud to pass on his experience and knowledge to his daughter.
"What did he just say …" He wanted to repeat Lynch's words, but he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his laughter. He just smiled and waved his hand. "Well, I won't repeat those words. It's probably a matter of rest and efficiency."
"You know, he revealed a piece of news. If the workers are given enough rest time, they will definitely be able to complete their daily tasks quickly and well …"
Sevillera did not react. "Is there a problem?"
Mr. Vaudric nodded. "You definitely haven't been to the factory at the lowest level. You definitely don't know that our factory allows for defective products. The higher the technological content of the product, the higher the allowed defective product rate."
"For example, for some of the top technological production jobs, because the production technology is limited by the current technological power that we can control, the defective product rate may exceed 90%!"
"Even 99%. As long as the assembly line can produce one or a few qualified products every time, it is considered a successful production."
"It's the same for ordinary factories at the lowest level. Even the factory with the least technological content has a defective product rate of about 10%."
"Coupled with the different standards of the factory or the region, in fact, the passing rate is not as what you see. Every product is qualified."
Mr. Vaudric finally stopped laughing. "Don't underestimate the waste product. You have to know that when the factory produces a substandard product, it's not as simple as losing raw materials."
"It causes the factory to lose a day's time and a day's worth of machinery costs. It can or can not include the start-up and debugging costs."
"Apart from these, the biggest loss is the cost of labor."
"Maybe it's just a defective product, but just this defective product alone has caused those capitalists to lose at least a hundred yuan!"
"Over the years, the biggest direction of industrial reform is to increase the pass rate and reduce the rate of defective products."
"What those scientists, advanced machines, and advanced production methods can't do, if it's possible to let the workers rest for an hour every day …"
Mr. Vaudric couldn't help laughing again, "Then this is the greatest industrial invention of the century!"
Yes!
It was one of the greatest inventions of this century and even the development of human industrial civilization!
Mr. Vaudric, who had seen through the indifference and cruelty behind Lynch's bullshit, couldn't help but laugh.
He felt that Lynch was a born capitalist … No, he should be a politician. He shouldn't waste his talent!
Sevillera gradually understood, "You mean … this might be a counterattack for this strike?"
Mr. Vaudric thought for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head, "Not necessarily, not everyone can understand the meaning and value of this approach, and sometimes people don't make a fuss for a reason, they just want to make a fuss."
Mr. Vaudric was very accurate in grasping the changes of the whole society. From the Great Depression to the current economic recovery, the working class had made too many concessions in front of the capitalists.
This was also the inevitable result of the trend of the times. There were 60 million people in the Federation, but the society may only provide three to five million jobs, which meant that many people were unemployed.
In addition, the collapse of the enterprises, many people were willing to risk everything in order to continue to work.
They took the initiative to ask for a lower salary and an increase in working hours. They made too many concessions.
Now that the economy had improved a little, the workers always had an idea in their minds. They wanted to make a fuss and let the factory owners and entrepreneurs understand their demands.
The workers' union also had to show the meaning and value of its existence. Due to various factors, it finally led to the upcoming strike.
Whether Lynch's "answer" was able to solve the reason for the strike or not, the strike was inevitable. In fact, the core contradiction was not the problems they raised at all, but the attitude of the two sides.
Sevillera didn't understand these. She was the princess of a consortium, she didn't understand the complicated relationship between the two sides.
This also made Mr. Vaudric laugh and sincerely praise Lynch's genius.
At least no one in his factory would go on strike. At the same time, not only did he not lose his own interests, but he might also save more expenses. This bastard was really a devil.
Mr. Vaudric didn't even need to think to understand that once the "standard" mentioned by Lynch was born, it would definitely be a nightmare for the workers.
For example, there would be a minimum rate of defective products for each production cycle. If more defective products were produced, they would be fined or even fired.
Lynch cleverly shifted part of the responsibility for the "defective products". Originally, the factory would bear the losses of the defective products produced by the workers. Now, a considerable part of these losses would be borne by the workers, and the total defective product rate would decrease.
This also meant that the production cycle of the factory would be shortened, and the cost of raw materials and other expenses would be reduced.
When the workers thought that Lynch gave them what they wanted, and they also repaid Lynch's "trust", they would find that they were f * cking screwed.
And there was no way to reason with them. Everything started with "for more efficient work", so they had no reason to oppose these things.
The capitalists of the Federation actually didn't have too strict requirements for the quality of the products produced by the workers, as long as they tried not to deliberately produce defective products.
But after this incident, some things might become more difficult, but … who cares, as long as Mr. Vaudric was happy!
On the TV, Momo couldn't find any problems with Lynch's statement, so she skipped this question and answer that made her feel a little overwhelmed.
"So, you support the demands of the workers?"
She asked in conclusion.
Lynch pursed his lips and answered in conclusion, "I support the progress of the production model."
It was as if he didn't ask anything and didn't answer anything!
It was all nonsense!
The next few questions tended to be gentle and simple. Momo once again experienced the kind of strength that couldn't be directly opposed from Lynch.
So, it was rare for her to slow down the pace of the show she was leading.
In fact, she didn't want to, but she didn't want to ask too many questions, say too much, and make too many mistakes.
She also didn't want this to become her dark history one day.
The broadcast of the show was very successful, and tonight, it even set the annual ratings record. Of course, this was also related to Lynch being the main character of this episode.
Many people, those big capitalists, either didn't like to be on shows, or almost never appeared on any shows.
Or they had bad personalities and often made unpleasant jokes — mainly jokes that made the people at the bottom of society unhappy.
So, compared to these people, Lynch was much more popular.
He would participate in the recording of some shows from time to time. He was very frank, never hiding his emotions, and dared to speak the truth.
Moreover, he was handsome and gentle. He was a big millionaire who came from the bottom of the Federation and always cared about everything at the bottom of society!
For example, the hatchery in the show. Even the most uncultured workers at the bottom of the assembly line understood the uniqueness of this hatchery.
It would make companies that might not have been able to be established in the past possible, and turn factories that only existed in people's imagination into reality. It would directly or indirectly provide a large number of jobs for society.
And all of this was because of Lynch's love for everyone!
What a noble sentiment!
At the end of the show, Momo asked if Lynch had anything to say to the audience. Lynch thought seriously for a while, and his expression gradually became serious.
"If we don't work hard, our dreams will always be just a fantasy.
"If we work hard, even if our dreams can't come true immediately, at least the distance between us and our dreams will be one step closer.
"Every step added together is the future!"
"Whether you know me or not, I only have one piece of advice for everyone in front of the TV —
"Don't let laziness trample on our lives!"
Momo began to clap, and some of the staff began to clap. Even some of the audience in front of the TV began to clap.
No matter how long this excitement and motivation lasted, at least at this moment, they were full of enthusiasm. That was enough!
After the broadcast, it immediately caused a heated discussion in society. Whether or not to give more rest time to the workers and whether the current structure of working hours was reasonable became the focus of the discussion.
Some of the media didn't seem to mind that the matter was too big. They even collected a lot of information about production accidents in recent years and listed the hidden dangers and dangers that fatigue brought to production.
Not only would it take away the health and even the lives of the workers, but it would also cause the capitalists to lose a lot of money.
After all, according to the Federation's laws, if accidents happened during work, the factory had to bear the responsibility!
The attention of society intensified the accumulation of strength. Soon, the first wave of the general strike began.
It was no different from before. On the weekend of the second week of every month, there would be a general strike parade.
The parade lasted for three days, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
People held up slogans such as "I want to rest" or "Fatigue production accidents" and shouted slogans on the streets to demonstrate. It would be better if some of them didn't have beer and fried chicken in their hands!
