37 Visit Rand
Caber Luya did not expect that the first time he saw a foreigner in his life was after he became the chairman of the Workers' Party of the United Nations. The Matthew Wilson, who claimed to be the liaison officer of the Workers' Party of the Republic of Neglu, seemed to look no different from ordinary people, except that Fern said something unauthorized. He and Cassie Lonagan, Dane Nandi, and three vice-chairmen of the United Nations' Party of Mariano Navas from the Vega Textile Factory, invited the foreign comrade to sit down again on the second floor of No. 37 Sanmuyu Road.
"I wonder if Comrade Wilson is coming to see me this time, is there anything wrong?"
"I have two things to come here this time." Matthew Wilson brought a cup of Caber Luya to make Lundin for him. "First, congratulations to the establishment of the United Nations Workers' Union Party as the first party in the Third Republic of Vern, which officially represents the working class, and the other is to hope to visit and study for a period of time in your party. I wonder if I can have this opportunity to learn the achievements and experience of the working class movement in your country?"
"Thank you, thank you very much for your congratulations." Although it is awkward, Kaber Luya is quickly adapting to his new identity as the chairman of the Workers' Union Party. "It's no problem to exchange and study. Our party has just been established. So far, it has only helped workers in a medium-sized factory to gain some benefits. The process is still stumbling. Rather than asking us for experience, we would like to ask you about the methods of the workers' movement. After all, the workers' movement in the Republic of Niglu has been going on for more than a hundred years, and your experience must be richer than mine."
"Where are, workers all over the world are one family. We learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and communicate with each other, so that we can get more benefits for the working class, right?"
Contact Matthew Wilson seemed to be good at this kind of communication. He smiled and responded to Kaber Luya's polite words and began to humbly ask for the struggle experience of the Federation of Trade Unions. Kaber Luya rarely met his colleagues with rich experience in this area. He was also modest and polite to communicate with Matthew Wilson, hoping to find the development path of his newborn party from the experience of the Neglu Republic.
In the following period, Kabluya had a deeper understanding of the Workers' Party of the Niglu Republic. Similar to the situation of the Federation of Trade Unions, the establishment of the Workers' Party of the Niglu Republic was also due to the support of Rosian Sakharov, the great magician of the Niglu Republic. After its establishment, the Workers' Party began to participate in the election of parliament and presidential elections. Although the Workers' Party of the Niglu Republic only held power once when the great magician Rosian Sakharov was alive, they always maintained their influence on the parliament and were constantly fighting for rights for workers. Judging from the current situation in various countries, the working class treatment in the Niglu Republic is relatively best.
After learning from the experience of the Niglu Republic, Kaber Luya also shared his experiences and feelings with Matthew Wilson. He started from being an ordinary worker, talked about his exposure to "On Capital" and communist thought, talked about his leadership of workers to establish underground trade unions, then strike to demand rights, and then abandoned after the Ministry of Railways orders were completed, etc. Most of these processes were failures, but there were also joys similar to the establishment of trade unions and the initial achievement of strikes. At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of in-depth communication with Matthew Wilson, he also raised a question that he had been wandering in his heart recently.
"Comrade Wilson, I have a question. Why does Master Huni Havary's "On Capital" basically not mention the magician? What should we do if we cannot get the support of the magician when we promote the workers' movement? Can a country's communist movement truly flourish if we only get the support of the magician?"
"We have also studied the question you asked, and have been studying it for a long time. Judging from Master Huni Havary's work on Capital, he has meticulous thinking and clear logic, and has never made low-level mistakes. According to common sense, the master's masterpiece should not be avoided by the mage. You must know that the development of the working class and the bourgeoisie in recent years is surprisingly consistent with Master Huni Havary's predictions, which has proved that the master's accurate grasp and forward-looking approach to the development laws of history and objective things. Scholars in our party have not received a recognized answer to this question at present, and we cannot travel to your country specifically for such a thing to ask why your Master Havary wrote this."
"If this is the case, isn't this "On Capital" finished? Is there still a manuscript of the rest of Master Havary hidden in a corner of this world?"
"Haha," Wilson laughed twice, "The probability is very low. I think there is a point in our party to refer to. Everyone thinks that Master Huni Havary, as a magician, must know his power better than everyone. In this case, he may not find a way to promote the workers' movement without the support of the magician, so he did not talk about how to deal with the magician in "On Capital". I think, judging from the practical experience of our Labor Party for more than 100 years, this speculation is basically reasonable."
“Will the workers’ movement be promoted without the support of the great mage?”
Kaber Luya murmured to himself, but subconsciously recalled the feeling of being hit by the soul. Although it was not a magic with great lethality, it was easy for people to see the tip of the iceberg of the magician's power. Even now, sitting on the second floor of Sanmuyu No. 37, Kaber Luya would subconsciously tremble whenever she thought of the light and the pain that followed.
"But, our view is also a speculation. Maybe Master Huni Havary has other ideas. For us, since we can get the support of the Great Magician, we must be worthy of the Great Magician's expectations, and make the workers' movement very vivid and seek benefits for more workers."
Kaber Luya nodded and agreed with Matthew Wilson's view. The new working-class political party of the Third Republic of Vern was in line with the most experienced and successful Workers' Party of the Negro Republic in the world.
———————
Four days later, Kaber Luya and Matthew Wilson, liaison of the Workers' Party of Niglu, and Kassi Lonagan, vice chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, stood in front of the villa of the Rand family outside Ferndingen. This was the first time Kaber Luya came to this villa. He thought that the mansion he had gone to Daniel Rand to sell patents last time was already luxurious enough. But in front of the Rand family's villa, Kaber Luya once again realized the luxury and exaggeration of capitalists' life.
"Have you thought about it, Chairman?"
Cassie Lonagan's voice was a little panicked. Although in the past four days, they persuaded the owners of two small factories to agree to increase their vacation for the workers. But when he really turned around and faced the capitalist who had given him a huge blow, Cassie Lonagan was still unconsciously timid.
"I thought about it, this time we are different. Behind us is the great magistrate, Mr. Toby Dugal. Their Rand family dare not fight against Mr. Dugal."
While speaking, Kaber Luya gently straightened the tie on his neck. After the party chairman this week, he was more accustomed to solving problems through negotiations in formal clothes rather than through strikes with huge losses. Judging from the results, his decision was obviously correct. The number of party members of the Federation of Trade Unions has grown to more than a thousand, and it is still increasing. Kaber Luya even arranged a special person to manage these party members. They built a roster and formulated some temporary rules and regulations. They planned to hold a full-party meeting of the Federation of Trade Unions after the Rand Dynamics Company was settled.
"Several people, please come inside, the master is waiting for everyone in the reception room."
The polite butler opened the door and invited the three of them to enter. Caber Luyadam first, Cassie Lonagan and Matthew Wilson then walked into the huge and quaint villa of the Rand family. However, neither Caber Luya nor Cassie Lonagan could tell the difference in the name of the butler. So, when they met an old man with silver hair in the reception room, instead of the young Daniel Rand, everyone was slightly stunned.
"Hello, Chairman Kaber, I am Daniel's grandfather, Conservative Party Chairman Aziva Land, we have seen it on the day of the parade, I wonder if you still remember it?"
Although he did not recognize the identity of the old man standing in front of him at first sight, when he heard this prompt, Kaber Luya and Kassi Lonagan remembered the brief intersection of the old man and their lives. On the day of the parade, Kaber Luya led his workers and brothers to argue with Aziva Land in the National Square at the gate of the Grand Parliament.
"I remember you. We dare not forget the teachings you gave us at that time."
There was a faint sarcasm in Kaber Luya's tone. Aziva Land heard it, but he didn't mind. After Kaber Luya introduced Cassie Lonagan and Matthew Wilson, the old man asked them to sit down and asked the butler to bring the top-quality water-patterned star tea. This tea is made of air-dried plant seeds called water-patterned grass. It will emit a slight starlight when it encounters hot water. It is said that drinking this tea frequently has the effect of health preservation and life-prolonging, and is very expensive.
Kaber Luya and Kassi Lonagan were the first time drinking this kind of tea. The caring housekeeper gave them a brief introduction and stood behind Aziva. Aziva waited until the three of them tasted the water-patterned star tea before he spoke slowly.
"Chairman Luya, you are the chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, and I am the chairman of the Conservatives. We are equal in our position. I also know the purpose of your visit this time. Your Federation of Trade Unions has convinced many factory owners to increase their vacations for the workers some time ago and gained a lot of party members. But I heard that the Great Magician intends to relax the right to vote and eliminate restrictions on the family assets and noble titles of voters. This means that as long as you are a man from the Third Republic of Vern, you can participate in the voting, which is a very beneficial thing for you."
"We are also working for the better work of the working class. I believe that as factory owners, you certainly don't want to see trouble and strike in your factory every few days."
Kaber Luya got into the state from the beginning of the conversation. He held the cup of water-wisted star tea that could be worth his salary in the past three years and emphasized his requirements.
"Although Chairman Rand said you know, I still want to re-explain our ideas to avoid misunderstandings. As for the latest situation we know, your company's production capacity was greatly limited after expelling most of our workers in the Fendingen plant. The production capacity of the Ranaby factory and the East Alburg factory alone cannot meet all the order needs of your company, and the second is that the product transportation cost is also much higher than that of the Fendingen plant."
"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, I have to say that what you learned is the fact."
Aziva was polite, and Kab Luya smiled likewise.
"And, steam engine manufacturing is currently a popular field, and it is difficult to find proficient or skilled workers in the market. Among the workers we fired from you, some of them have already gone to the Fern factory of Qianma Steam Power. If your factory wants to continue to produce at full capacity and compete with Qianma Company, then I suggest you recall us workers who have been working hard for Rand. We have skilled skills and strong skills, and if you can agree to some of our small requests, we will not use strikes to make things difficult for you. What do you think?"
"It's a good suggestion," Aziva still had a slow attitude, "But what are your requirements? I don't want to hear what we can't afford."
"It's very simple. Before Mr. Daniel Rand promised to give us the treatment, holidays, work injury compensation and working hours limits. I hope you can complete it without any compromise. In return, I guarantee that the workers in your factory will work hard and not interfere with the production order. What do you think?"
Kaber Luya is now adapting to the process of making demands. According to his experience, generally speaking, these capitalists will compromise. Behind him is the great magician Toby Dugal, the matter has gradually spread in the bourgeois circle.
"I think it's OK," Aziva Land smiled, "Just do it."
"Thank you so much. When we go back, we start notifying the workers to prepare for work!"
When Kaber Luya heard that his most important purpose had been achieved, he stood up and thanked him and prepared to leave. He did not like the Rand family, nor did he like the Aziva Land Aziva Land who had completely rejected his request at the beginning, and did not mean to keep them. After a brief farewell, the group left the huge luxury building.
"We will have a base camp after finishing Rand Company. What do you plan to do next?" Cassie Lonagan walked beside Caber Luya, with obvious happiness on his face.
"Next step? Next step we are going to prepare for elections. I will take advantage of the support of the great magician this time to turn our Workers' Union Party into a formal party with parliamentary seats!"
