Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 908: Union: Lawyers are dogs of the rich!!
The next day, in the morning.

Nippon Steel's Sixth Steel Plant.

Shiga, the workshop contractor, arrived at the factory gate. He was caught off guard by the news of the union strike. Since Nippon Steel defaulted on its payments, he would also use the workshop equipment to produce some of the company's own steel for external sales. Now, the factory area was completely blocked by the strike.

The goods he produced were also trapped inside.

Walking to the factory's cordon, Shiga wanted to go in.

However, he was soon stopped by a union inspection team.
"What are you doing?! We are on strike now. No one in the factory is allowed to approach!"

"I...my goods are still in there. I want to pick them up..." Shiga said.

"No!" the inspection team refused decisively.

"Can... can you be flexible?" Shiga begged. Since entrusting Kitahara to handle the matter, although the case has progressed very quickly, it is clear that it will still take quite some time to collect the debt. The company founded by Shiga himself relies on investing in Nippon Steel's workshops, taking on some private work, and earning a meager cash flow to barely support itself.

"Please, please, please!" Shiga's voice was already tearful. "If I can't get the goods out of the workshop, my company will be in breach of contract, and I will have to pay them more money!"

"What does this have to do with us? Get back off now!" the union patrol team warned.

Shiga almost knelt down to the person in front of him.

Just then, he heard a voice behind him, "Mr. Shiga, what's wrong?"

When I turned around, I saw that it was Kitahara, Miyakawa and others.

Kitahara and his colleagues attended the creditors' group meeting of Nippon Steel and happened to pass by the Sixth Steel Plant when they came out.

"The union strike has blocked the factory, and I want to get my goods back," said Shiga. The small business owner's eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously under great pressure. His company also had employees to support and suppliers to pay back.

Kitahara roughly understood what was going on, and was about to step forward to negotiate—

Not far away, a middle-aged man came over.

He was none other than Toyama, the secretary of the trade union.

"What's wrong?" Toyama frowned when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Someone wants to come to the workshop and take the steel."

"This is impossible!" Toyama ordered decisively.

As soon as Toyama's voice fell,

Kitahara immediately said, "The union has the legal right to strike, but it does not have the right to prevent the owner of the property from taking back his goods."

"Allowing you to take away the steel is a disguised start of production!" Toyama said, "This kind of thing is impossible to allow! We also have no ability to verify who the steel in the workshop belongs to! The transportation of goods is also a production activity. A strike is a complete suspension of production, which naturally includes a ban on the transportation of goods!"

"He is a workshop contractor, not a Nippon Steel employee. He, like you, is a victim of Nippon Steel!" Kitahara replied directly.

"These workshop contractors deserve to die!" Toyama's eyebrows twitched after hearing this. "It is these contractors who desperately help Nippon Steel cut costs, and also introduce external workers to work in Nippon Steel's workshops. This is a completely unfair competition for our Nippon Steel workers!" "Excuse me, without the workshop contractors, Nippon Steel will go bankrupt faster than it is today." Kitahara said coldly, "These contractors have reinvested in the factory workshops. The ventilation systems of several workshops were replaced by these contractors. These contractors have improved your working environment. If you want to complain about the workshop contractors, you might as well complain about why Nippon Steel has built so many workshops with low capacity utilization."

Toyama didn't expect that the young man in front of him would refute him again and again, "What?! You are so young and you want to speak for the business owner? You have misunderstood your own position!!"

Toyama looked at the man in front of him, then noticed the Libra sunflower emblem on his suit.

The union official naturally recognized this badge.

"No wonder! It turns out to be a lawyer!" Toyama snorted coldly, "Lawyers are parasites who rely on power!!"

"Wait! That's not quite right!" Miyakawa felt uncomfortable when he heard this. "It's just a different division of labor. Besides, don't you ever need the law? We have also handled many work-related injury and wage recovery cases!"

"The law is to protect the rich! It is to protect the interests of the property owners!" Toyama retorted, "So-called lawyers, no matter what, are nothing more than dogs of the rich!!!"

The voice of this union official sounded unusually harsh.

However, at this moment——

Beiyuan sneered, "Don't you want to be rich?"

"What did you say?!" Toyama widened his eyes.

"Everyone wants to be rich. Everyone wants to be wealthy. As far as I know, almost all politicians have set a goal to make the people richer. Since one of the goals of political operations is to enable ordinary people to become wealthy, then what's wrong with the law protecting the rich?" Kitahara's mouth curled up slightly.

"You!!" Toyama was shocked when he heard Kitahara's remarks.

The man in front of me openly defended the law's protection of the rich.

And he said it so blatantly, without any sense of shame at all.

Toyama didn't know why the man in front of him could speak so calmly. However, when he carefully thought about what the young man said, he couldn't find any flaws for a moment.

"What a twisted logic! What you said is a twisted logic! Lawyers can really say white is black and black is white!!!" Toyama said angrily.

"You seem to subconsciously assume that workers are meant to be poor and to have deep hatred for each other. You simplify the way you look at things into a struggle between the property owners and the propertyless. As long as you defeat and discredit the property owners, you win. But you forget that the ultimate ideal goal is to make everyone a property owner, not to eliminate the property owners."

The young man in front of him, in a very calm tone, pointed out the loopholes in Toyama's logic.

Niwa, who was standing by, was also shocked by Kitahara's words. This was a viewpoint she had never heard before. The law should protect the rich. If she had heard such a viewpoint normally, she would probably just sneer at it, wondering which lunatic was talking nonsense. This was simply a viewpoint of treason and could not be tolerated by the world. However, now it came out of Kitahara's mouth, in a serious manner.

Yes--

The law should protect the wealthy.

Because one of the goals of a society is to:

The goal is to make as many people as possible wealthy.
