Fox of France

With the direct support of the French, the textile workers' strike was naturally becoming more and more difficult to control. Of course, the British, especially those capitalists in the British textile industry, will not sit still. They have actually established a lot of contact with the French before, and even many guys are so-called "French-friendly". At this time, they will naturally use the connections with France obtained in the past few years to work hard for themselves.

After some contact with the French, representatives of the Textile Industry Association brought back the following news:

"The textile industry practitioners in the Netherlands have spent a lot of money in France in the past few years. Of course, this is not the most important thing, because they are not more than us than spending money. The key is that they spent money on newspapers. On the one hand, this makes them louder than us. Coupled with French 'political correctness', it is difficult for the French not to act.

In addition, the French are also very dissatisfied with some of our practices. ’ the representative conveyed.

"What did you do? Thomas, what did they say?" Ren asked quickly.

"They are very dissatisfied with the large number of imitations of French high-end clothing that have appeared in the European market in the past year or so. According to their investigation, most of the high imitation fakes of the 'Chris' series of men's clothing come from the UK , This makes, this makes the highest level over there very dissatisfied..."

"What? Which bastard did this!" Someone shouted before Thomas could finish speaking.

"Which bastard is he! Dare to grab this kind of money, isn't this cheating us all!"

"We've got a black sheep among us!"

"Really, don't you want money? Don't even think about it, the 'Chris' series of men's clothing, that's... that's the property of the saint of the Bonaparte family! I heard that she is particularly popular in the family The favorite of the number one ruling lord, dare to rob her of her money... There are many ways to make money, why do you want to make this kind of money?"

This kind of thing is actually very easy to investigate. After all, everyone has been a vampire for thousands of years, and no one can pretend to be a werewolf there. So everyone immediately focused their attention on one person.

"Why are you staring at me? Although I have a garment factory, I haven't made fake 'Chris' series clothes..." The man realized that something was wrong, so he quickly argued.

"Strictly speaking, the fake 'Chris' series of clothing is indeed not counterfeit." Thomas, acting as the emissary, said coldly, "The French even showed me the samples, and the 'Chris' on the trademark of the counterfeit products There is an extra 's' at the end, although it is deliberately made with black lines, it is very inconspicuous, and you can't see it if you don't pay attention. But it is not 'Chris' after all. Right, Mr. Robson?"

Robson froze for a moment, then shouted: "It's not me, I don't, don't talk nonsense..."

"If you really haven't done anything to be sorry for us and cause us all such trouble, then let us all go to your garment factory and take a look in your warehouse. How about it, Robson ?”

"I, I have no problem here, but I am not the only one who has a garment factory. Mr. Iger, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Berkeley all have garment factories, and we should let us all go and see them together." Robson hurriedly road.

As a result, the faces of the few people named by Robson also turned pale.

"Let's go now!" someone yelled.

"Yes, yes, go now!"

"I want to see who it is that has harmed all of us..."

"Don't be too busy, let Thomas continue talking, what else did the French say. This is the most important thing!" Rennes said loudly.

So everyone fell silent, and all eyes turned to Thomas.

"The French say that this kind of thing will not be tolerated. And they say..."

"what did they say?"

"They said that they have made us a lot of money. For this reason, the local French textile industry has complained a lot. In the ready-to-wear business, French products have an advantage, which is also a negative for the French textile industry. So, they hope that we Brits will not join the competition in the garment industry.” Thomas said.

"They're trying to monopolize the garment industry," one said in a low voice.

"If they want, this market can only be given to them." Ren nodded and said, "Although the profit margin of this industry is high, the market is actually not big. Give it to them, as long as the European cloth market can be kept , even if it is a good result.”

Except for the few people who opened the garment factory in front, everyone agreed.

"Yes, this market is not big. It would be too unwise to turn against the French for this little money..."

"So, those workers, there are sanctions?" Someone asked again.

Thomas sighed and said, "The French say that since the knife has been pulled out, even if it is for the sake of face, there is absolutely no reason to insert it back without doing anything. What's more...if you don't really cut it once or twice, they doubt it. We will underestimate their determination and lead to more misjudgments. Therefore, in order to avoid more incidents that damage the mutual trust between the two parties due to misjudgments, their measures will continue for a while..."

"Huh? How long will it last?"

"Next week, the 'White Paper on the Human Rights Situation in the UK' will be published. Everyone knows what it will say. For the sake of face, during this period of time, they will definitely not relax. However, they pointed out that if the 'White Paper' 'After the publication, the Textile Industry Association can issue a statement stating that it will conduct self-examination and self-correction on the contents of the 'White Paper', and invite people from the 'Human Rights Review Committee' to come and inspect, then maybe two months later, these measures will be completed. It's over," Thomas said.

"Two months, this... this is still too slow."

"That's right, can you..."

"The French actually want to give us a hard blow to prove that they have knives in their hands and dare to cut people. They will not back down." Ren said, "We lost a lot in two months, but It's not really impossible to support. Now people are knives and we are meat, what else can we do?"

"It's all because you are too greedy, you won't let go of any money!" So everyone's anger returned to those who owned garment factories.

Immediately afterwards, the "Textile Industry Association" conducted surprise inspections on the warehouses of several enterprises. It must be said that Mr. Robson did not lie. In his factories and warehouses, no counterfeit "Chris" series clothing was indeed found. It seems that It really wasn't him who did it. But what everyone saw made everyone even more angry.

"Hehe, 'veteran hunting suit', 'veteran backpack', 'veteran rain cloak'...Damn it! Robson, how dare you fake this? Do you know the 'veteran' series What kind of background is that!"

Robson, who was caught, was silent.

"Damn it! Why don't you die! Everyone knows that the 'Veterans' series belongs to the French Veterans Association. The 'Chris' series is even worse! You're such a goddamn guy!"

"The group of French veterans are the worst to be messed with. They are the ones who dare to take guns to rebel when they disagree with each other. You actually blackmailed their money. No wonder the French reacted so violently. No, because of your misconduct. We have taken a huge loss - Robson, you must pay!"

"I'm not an 'Old Soldier', really not an 'Old Soldier', the logo on my face is different from the 'Old Soldier'!" Robson argued palely.

"Robson, do you take us for fools? You made money, but you killed us all!"

"I suggest that immediately after this inspection, a meeting be held to discuss how to deal with the problem. For now, let's continue our inspection."

Checked with a couple of guys with garment factories and they didn't turn up very well. Almost every garment factory is doing this kind of thing. At Iger's, they found fake "Chris" men's clothing; at Davis, they found "Chris" women's; at Berkeley, they found "Old Soldier" stuff again ...In short, the French's accusations against them are very reasonable.

At the following meeting, the bosses who were filled with righteous indignation expressed their condolences to the female relatives of those "black sheep", and then quickly passed a resolution to impose heavy fines on these "black sheep". To compensate other textile merchants who suffered losses as a result.

At the same time, the "Textile Industry Association" also made a decision to prohibit its members from opening garment factories.

As for the proposal put forward by the French, requiring a positive response to the "white paper", as well as a certain degree of rectification, and welcoming the French to inspect, it was also passed with a clear advantage.

Of course, the less mess and mess in the British textile industry during this period the better. For example, the shooting and massacre of workers like last time must never happen again. Otherwise, similar things really happened again. Considering the face of the French, those sanctions will not be abandoned halfway. .

"Now that the police department is still arresting people from the 'United Trade Union', I think they can be stopped first and there will be no trouble. This is especially true when Miss Bonaparte is still in the slums. We must let The guys in the police department should stop chasing those workers’ representatives, and maintain the current contract without increasing work intensity or cutting wages, and don’t let our enemies have the opportunity to assassinate us.” Wren said.
