Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

"Okay, don't need to explain to me. I just want to know one thing now, and that is whether you have the ability to solve the strike outside? Do you need central support?"

Zhang Hao waved his hand and said straightforwardly.

Liu Jun didn't answer right away, but bowed his head and thought for more than two minutes. After some deliberation, he gave an ambiguous answer:

"Consul, the situation this time is a bit special. To be honest, we are not 100% sure. We can only say that we will do our best and hope for a happy ending."

Although Zhang Hao was a little dissatisfied, he still nodded his head: "I'll give you three days. If the problem is not resolved after three days, the central government will directly intervene."

"Consul, do you have any instructions on the bottom line of the negotiation?"

Liu Jun quickly probed.

"The eight-hour work system and the increase in public rental housing can be fooled around and delayed as much as possible. As for the other two, there is no room for negotiation.

In any case, this bad head cannot be opened, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.

Another point, I want to remind you that you must not blindly compromise with these locals. Remember, escaping will not solve the problem. "

Zhang Hao took the opportunity to throw out his bottom line.

The reason why he is unwilling to compromise is that on the one hand, he does not want to cause trouble for his subsequent ruling career.

On the other hand, he happened to recall some bad memories in his dream. A few years later, there was also a general strike in Australia, which lasted for more than two months, and ended in violent suppression.

That being the case, simply solve the trouble ahead of time.

Liu Jun showed a bit of bitterness, and actively fought for it:
"Consul, can we give the miners a little bit more wages? It doesn't need to be too much, just a little thought, and a few dozen yuan is not too little."

"My words have been made very clear. There is no need to discuss further. Besides, these miners are obviously here for the inspection team. Presumably they will not give up easily. We should make preparations in advance."

Zhang Hao shook his head and reminded again.

Liu Jun's heart shuddered, and he nodded solemnly.

……

At the same time, in front of the just-renovated city hall square, several union leaders who organized the strike are anxiously waiting for the official response, especially the attitude of the consul, which is particularly important.

"Old Charlie, do you think the consul will come forward?"

It was Diao Guoping, the representative of the miners who spoke.

The old Charlie he mentioned is the current head of the Australian Federation of Trade Unions and the main initiator of the strike, and he is highly respected within the union.

Old Charlie said confidently: "Don't worry, as long as we persevere to the end, the consul will definitely come forward. After all, Australia is a major energy city with heavy production tasks, and the upper management cannot afford it."

"Oh, I always feel uneasy in my heart."

Diao Guoping said worriedly.

"What's there to worry about?" Old Charlie chuckled, and then comforted him in a low voice: "The consul seems to be a big softie at first glance, and the success rate of this strike is very high."

"Old Charlie, you look down on people too much. After all, the consul came from a big boss. How could he be a softie? The attack last year was just an accident, which doesn't explain anything." Diao Guoping couldn't help retorting.

"Accident?" Old Charlie waved his hand impatiently, "Old Diao, when it comes to strikes, I have more experience than you, you just trust me, besides, in the previous strikes, which one of us came away empty-handed?" of?"

"Old Charlie is right. Even if the negotiation fails in the end, we have nothing to lose. Just treat it as a few days of paid leave, which is much easier than going to the mine."

Another miner representative spoke.

Over the years, the achievements of the trade union are obvious to all. Even these foreign workers have gained a lot of glory. In many cases, the words of the union chairman are more effective than the leaders of the mining area.

On the side, the president of the Sydney branch, who is also the son of old Charlie, Little Charlie, nodded and said:
"Yeah, Governor Liu... No, we should call him Chairman Liu. Chairman Liu is too petty. Every time he negotiates, he only yields a small step. I'm fucking fed up."

"Liu Jun is indeed too cunning."

"Don't think about it, those officials are not the same as us. Over the years, I have understood that only by fighting can we live a good life."

As soon as this remark came out, other people echoed.

Old Charlie patted the old man on the shoulder habitually: "Master Diao, we can't miss this opportunity, otherwise we don't know when the next time will be."

When he said that, he didn't mean to say that.

You must know that Sydney is at least tens of thousands of kilometers away from the capital, and it takes a lot of time to travel.

It is precisely because of this that during the entire tenure of the previous consul, Ji Zhangqiu, he only visited Australia once, and it was still a deserted Western Australia.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you that if the momentum is not right, we..."

Diao Guoping quickly defended himself.

"Okay, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I won't mess around."

Old Charlie said perfunctorily.

To be honest, he looks down on these yellow-skinned monkeys from the bottom of his heart, he is timid and afraid to talk about things, and he especially likes to take advantage of them, which is disgusting.

If he hadn't cared about their identities, he would have wanted to clean up this group of people a long time ago, and let them know who is the master of this land.

Not long after that, old Charlie and others saw Liu Jun who came to negotiate.

"Chairman Liu, congratulations..."

With a dark face, Liu Jun interrupted directly: "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to congratulate me sincerely, you won't make such an incident today."

"Chairman Liu, we also have reasons for doing this. Your lord has a lot, please forgive me."

Diao Guoping quickly explained.

Liu Jun suppressed his anger and glared at the other party: "Old Diao, you have disappointed me so much. Anyway, you are also an old man in our mining area. Why don't you have any political awareness? How dare you publicly blackmail the central government? Give you the guts?"

"I..." Diao Guoping was sweating profusely.

Seeing this, old Charlie hurriedly made a siege and said, "Chairman Liu, I initiated this strike. If you have something to do, you come to me. As long as the government can meet our four major demands, I guarantee that I will not fight back or scold me."

"Old Charlie, you have crossed the line this time, and I hope you can rein in the precipice in time and stop making mistakes." Liu Jun solemnly warned.

"Chairman Liu, this strike is the common will of all our miners in Australia, and it's not something I can cancel just by saying it." Old Charlie deliberately pretended to be confused.

"You don't need to be sloppy with me. To tell you the truth, the consul's attitude is very tough. You have made a mistake in your wishful thinking." Liu Jun said straight to the point.

Old Charlie was not moved at all, but relaxed: "Chairman Liu, you don't need to scare people. I seriously suspect that you are exaggerating and trying to mislead us on purpose."

"Old Charlie, I'm not joking with you. Just now, the consul has issued an ultimatum. The strike issue must be resolved within three days, otherwise..."

"What else? Take us all to jail?"

Old Charlie said confidently.

There are millions of miners in Australia. These are the foundations of the trade union and his confidence. The officials dare not do anything to him.

"Hmph, think about the consequences for yourself! Something really happened, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."

Liu Jun said vaguely.

No way, he also couldn't understand the thoughts of the consul, but one thing is certain, the consul will never compromise, if the stalemate continues, the possibility of bloody conflicts cannot be ruled out.

When Diao Guoping heard this, he became anxious immediately: "Chairman Liu, the consul is new here and doesn't understand the situation here, so you must persuade him more."

"If persuasion is useful, I will not appear here. In a word, if you want to gain the trust of the consul, you must show sincerity."

Little Charlie couldn't help but interjected: "Chairman Liu, what kind of sincerity does the consul want?"

"It's very simple. You let the workers go back to work in the mining area first, and then we send a few representatives from each side to sit down and talk slowly."

Liu Jun took the opportunity to propose a mitigation plan.

As long as it is delayed until the consul leaves, all problems will be solved by then.

When Old Charlie heard this, he shook his head on the spot: "Impossible, the strike is our biggest bargaining chip. Without the bargaining chip, what do we use to negotiate with the authorities?"

"I think you want to negotiate with the consul?"

Liu Jun said unhappily.

"Chairman Liu, since you have already guessed it, then we will not hide it from you. The ultimate goal of our strike is to have a direct dialogue with the consul."

Old Charlie flatly admitted.

Liu Jun's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "So, we have nothing to talk about?"

"It's not that we don't want to talk, it's that we can't talk." Old Charlie spread his hands, and then complained: "In the past few years, we have talked six or seven times, right? But the result? In your Daxia words, every time There is loud thunder and little rain.”

"Damn, shut up now!" Liu Jun couldn't help but swear, and said earnestly: "The environment has been very bad these past few years, and the unemployment rate has remained high. Not to mention you have a stable job, and you can still raise your salary every year. It is very commendable, and one must be content.”

"Chairman Liu, we are not dissatisfied. We just want to solve the problem once and for all, so as not to have to go on strike every year, which is not good-looking and wastes both of our time." Old Charlie said eloquently.

Liu Jun frowned, and gradually became a little impatient: "Stop talking nonsense with me, we have dealt with each other for so many years, you can't hide your little thoughts from me, and you can't hide it from the consul."

"Chairman Liu, if you say that, we have no choice but to remain silent."

Old Charlie shrugged.

After some wrangling, Liu Jun didn't want to waste any more words, so he turned around and took a thin document from the assistant's hand, and handed it directly to the other party:
"The above conditions are our official bottom line, you can take a look first."

Old Charlie was not very familiar with Daxia characters, so he handed the documents to his son casually.

Little Charlie read it briefly, and then handed the document to Diao Guoping, remaining silent the whole time.

After reading it, Diao Guoping's mood suddenly fell to the bottom: "Chairman Liu, your conditions are too perfunctory, right? Even if I agree, others will not let it go."

"Since you are going to negotiate, this is the final plan, and the result will be the same if the consul comes forward in person."

Liu Jun emphasized.

On the other side, after listening to his son's retelling, old Charlie exclaimed on the spot:

"Big liar...bullying people..."

Liu Jun suddenly became as big as a bull, and he didn't want to stay in this place anymore: "Old Charlie, you should discuss it carefully. Whether you agree or disagree, please give me an answer within three days."

"Okay, I remember."

Old Charlie nodded solemnly.

……

In the afternoon, according to the original plan, Zhang Hao inspected public institutions such as hospitals, orphanages and schools in downtown Sydney, and his schedule was very full.

In the evening, the welcome dinner was cancelled, and a simple dinner was replaced instead.

After dinner, Zhang Hao first called his chief of staff. The two sides had a brief exchange on the strike and finally reached a consensus.

The consensus can be summed up in an idiom:
Kill the chickens to warn the monkeys.

At the same time, by "killing the chicken", you can also take the opportunity to wash off the label of "weakness" on him. As the so-called combination of grace and power, only "graciousness" without "power" will never work.

Immediately afterwards, he made another phone call to Fan Zhenxiang. If he wanted to use armed forces, he would definitely need to communicate with the Executive Yuan in advance.

After Fan Zhenxiang listened to the introduction, he did not raise any objections, but had doubts about the consequences of the incident.

Zhang Hao quickly comforted him: "Old Fan, the situation is not as complicated as you think. The economic conditions in Australia are not bad. It's not that those miners can't survive, they're just a little greedy. I don't think they will act excessively. "

"As far as I know, there are millions of miners in Australia. It's better to be careful. If the mining area is destroyed, it will seriously affect the local energy supply, and it will also make the economy worse."

Fan Zhenxiang spoke earnestly.

"I understand your concerns, but don't worry, this time the armed suppression is limited to the urban area of ​​Sydney, and other cities are not included.

Moreover, our arrest targets are also limited to high-level trade unions. As for ordinary miners, as long as they don't resist to the end, it will not have much impact on their work and life. "

Zhang Hao explained in detail.

Fan Zhenxiang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Oh? Can I ask, under what name are you going to arrest them?"

"Banish illegal trade unions." Zhang Hao paused, and then explained: "Those Australians are stubborn asses. They refuse to participate in regular trade unions, insist on forming unions without permission, and collect membership fees without permission. This is obviously illegal."

"The reason is good, it's fair and square."

"Actually, in the final analysis, Australians are rebellious in their bones, discriminating against and rejecting all immigrants. We should crack down on such behaviors so as not to damage the authority of the central government."

Zhang Hao righteously said Ling Ran.

Fan Zhenxiang agreed: "By the way, do you have enough armed forces? Do you need support?"

"No need, the Marine Corps is enough. No matter how strong the body is, it can't be stronger than bullets."

Zhang Hao said confidently.
