Chapter 3163 Treating the Symptoms

After the emergence of KPIs and the last-place elimination system in modern society, many industry systems were inevitably rolled up, and the acceptable bottom line was gradually tested and pushed to the extreme.

But even so, even if the unfortunate last 10% are really eliminated, in the major countries of modern society, starvation will not happen, and the most basic material life can be guaranteed.

However, the era in which the world of Lord of Mysteries is located is similar to the time period of the first industrial revolution.

Although productivity has greatly increased with the emergence of machinery, a large number of workers who have lost their land and entered the city have been placed in a more cruel environment.

There are no clearly defined KPIs or eliminations for the last place, but the nature is even more cruel!

If the last 10% are eliminated, then in this mysterious world, these 10% will most likely be lost together with their lives.

Even if only 1% actually lose their lives.

Under the pressure of death, the last 1% will try their best to climb up with all their strength and pull others down as much as possible.

Just like if 10 people are poisoned and there are only 9 antidotes, the one with the highest price will get it. The price of the medicine must be the last person among the 10 who spent all his wealth.

Under the coercion of this most primitive fear, the intensity of labor is truly terrifying beyond imagination.

Because no matter how many are eliminated, there will be a steady stream of manpower coming in from outside to replenish them, so factory owners don't need to worry about anything at all.

There is no associated working environment or basic protection.

If you can accept it, stay, if you can't accept it, leave. Some people do it by breaking their own heads.

Among them, Sir De Vere is already a relatively good capitalist.

Not only is he passionate about philanthropy, he is also willing to sacrifice part of his own profits to improve the environment for workers.

However, although Sir De Vere is indeed kind-hearted, his own class is here, and this is not a problem that one or two kind-hearted capitalists can solve.

He has a lead factory under his control, but the protective effect is not much different from that of other factories. He only sets up relevant funds and bans female workers from returning to the production line after poisoning reactions begin.

Even the factory itself no longer cares about profits.

But even so, due to cost issues, he has already reached the limit, because the costs of other factories are here, and it is useless no matter how much he presses on profits, and he cannot operate at a loss for a long time.

The environment is like this...

The grudge that haunts Sir De Vere this time is a female worker in a lead factory.

Sir De Vere himself had just entered the ranks of the nobility and had no understanding or even knowledge of the extraordinary world.

So they didn't know how to deal with the matter at all. It took a long time for the police to discover the problem and handed it over to a professional department.

Xu Yue and Klein came to visit, and since Klein was a trainee inspector, it went smoothly.

Originally, in the original work, Klein lied in various ways, saying that he was a psychological expert. The phenomenon of being haunted was actually just a psychological effect.

Even if all the servants and housekeepers heard the scream together, it was still a group psychological phenomenon.

But this time Xu Yue followed him to the door and simply reminded Klein:

"Actually, the Extraordinary World is not a secret to many nobles, otherwise why would only Sir De Vere be entangled?

"Emperor Russell said that he ushered in the best era and the worst era, and personally created the breeding ground for the evil god to descend."

Xu Yue's words made Klein stunned for a moment.

Yes, Sir De Vere is okay, but there are many nobles and businessmen who are more excessive.

It should be true that many people know and understand the channels.

The extraordinary world is actually not as mysterious as imagined.

"You mean directly?"

"My suggestion is indeed true, but this is your task, and the autonomy lies with you."

After hearing Xu Yue's words, Klein also fell silent.

But let’s start investigating the truth according to the normal procedures.

He noticed the root of the problem and even knew the identity of the resentful spirit itself.

At the same time, through the investigation, we learned more about the current situation of the lead factory workers.

Sir De Vere did set adjustment regulations for front-line female workers, and they must stop when they develop symptoms.

However, the dead female worker had a large family waiting for her. Even if she had symptoms, she hid them and persisted until she was poisoned and died.

This is no longer a matter of closing factories. Even if all lead factories can be destroyed overnight, the outcome for workers who lose their jobs will probably be equally miserable.

Faced with the impact of this environment, Klein couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

this……

I am afraid that even becoming a god or a true god cannot effectively solve this problem!

At the same time, he also knew from the outside that Sir De Vere was indeed a rare kind-hearted person among the group of capitalists. Some of his actions even aroused dissatisfaction from other colleagues, thinking that he was breaking the rules.

The pressure I bear is already considerable.

"Why……"

"I heard that his goal is Backlund and he wants to become a member of the Senate. If he can always maintain his original intention and not be contaminated by the dye vat, I think there is indeed a more suitable place for him to perform."

Xu Yue heard Klein's sigh and said with a smile.

"You may be right, I also think that letting him know about the world in advance is not a bad thing.

"As for violating the rules, the worst case scenario is that I will become a regular later. Anyway, extraordinary people will become regular sooner or later, haha."

Klein smiled to himself and finally made a decision.

Of course, even if he made the decision, Klein did not directly solve the idea of ​​​​the resentful spirit. At least he did not want to personally eliminate the dead female worker's resentful spirit.

Instead, he directly told Sir De Vere the cause and effect.

Especially after Klein showed off his extraordinary power, Sir De Vere fell into deep thought.

To be able to climb to this position, although he has never received the exact news about the extraordinary world, there are some rumors.

Coupled with his personal experience at this time, Sir De Vere has completely believed this.

Especially after hearing Klein explain the identity of the Wraith, Sir De Vere felt much older.

"Opening a factory cannot save Loen."

Sir De Vere's tone was heavy, but even Klein heard a hint of firm determination.

"Let's solve her problem first. I know her, and I will give her family adequate compensation. I will also contact reporters to continuously report on the dangers of the lead factory. I hope it can have some effect."

As the owner of several factories, Sir De Vere knew clearly that the current situation of workers could not be changed by him alone. As long as he improved his salary, he would lose competitiveness, and no amount of family property could withstand squandering!

"Sir De Vere probably wants to enter the political arena of Backlund and enter the House of Lords to exert influence."

Xu Yue, who had been acting as an assistant, also spoke at this time.

This was originally an idea that Sir De Vere had not concealed before. Many people actually knew it, but this incident only made him more determined.

"That's right."

"In fact, there are many ways for the factory itself to both improve workers' treatment and bring profits. Nowadays, patents are very complete. As long as Jazz can master some core patents, there is actually no need to consider the cost of improving workers' treatment. The impact of spending on competitiveness.”

Xu Yue's words also opened another door for Sir De Vere, but there is no doubt that this kind of money-generating project would be difficult for a mere Sir to hold on to. This just provides a direction.

At least he must become a member of the House of Lords before he can consider implementing it.

But at any rate, we are beginning to see concrete steps.

At that time, we can also force other factories to improve workers' benefits.

Just like within the system, statutory holidays will be taken steadily according to the statutory holidays. This itself is a reference benchmark. Once this cannot be implemented even within the system, it will be even more impossible to implement it outside the system. At that time, 996 will become psychologically capable. Accept the 'blessing'.

After Sir De Vere once again provided higher subsidies to the family of the dead female worker and solved some work problems.

The family's expressions of gratitude seemed to have forgotten the dead female worker.

Under the circumstances that neither Xu Yue nor Klein directly used extraordinary means to expel the female worker, the resentful spirit of the female worker has gradually dissipated...

Two updates completed...
