Wear it with the house, but I am a black household [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 211 The World of Western Classics 23

With the large-scale publicity of newspapers, the treatment of workers in the Darcy factory was also exposed to the eyes of everyone.

It turns out that it's not that there are no good factory owners, and it's not that the factory owners can't do it, it's just that they don't want to.

This kind of thinking promoted the escalation of the strike. What was originally a strike once every few days has completely turned into no work.Workers organized every day, held demonstrations, and vowed not to improve workers' treatment, so they would not go to work.

The people above put pressure on the delegation, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.The delegation had no choice but to seek help from Colonel Fitzwilliam. They heard that he was quite familiar with the workers' representatives, so they wanted him to make peace.

What a warm-hearted man Fitzwilliam is, as soon as people say it, he immediately helps out.After running for half a month, the delegation, workers' representatives, and factory owners were finally brought together, and everyone discussed and resolved it.

And Colonel Fitzwilliam, as a matter of course, presided over the meeting.

Another half month passed, and the three parties finally reached a more acceptable agreement.The factory owners improved the treatment and welfare of the workers, punished Sir Jones, broke the monopoly, and allowed the factory owners to buy raw materials at a reasonable price.The delegation resolved the strike, free from censure from above.

All three parties have benefited, but Colonel Fitzwilliam, who has been busy and troubled, has no benefit at all.This made them feel grateful and guilty at the same time.

So everyone in the delegation jointly recommended Colonel Fitzwilliam to enter the parliament, and the above people also tacitly agreed.

In this way, Colonel Fitzwilliam formally stepped into the political arena.

This kind of ability made Earl Fitzwilliam couldn't help but be happy, and he sponsored his youngest son a lot of pounds in private.

Mr. Colonel, who got an extra fortune, immediately sent it to the Darcy family, providing a lot of funds for the expansion of the garment factory.

Because of the huge attention brought by the strike movement, the clothing store is full every day. People, whether they need to buy clothes or not, want to visit that Renyi factory that has been repeatedly mentioned in the newspapers.

Of course, they can't enter the factory, but it doesn't matter, the clothing store can enter at will, and it can satisfy their curiosity.

And once inside, whether it's out of face or love, they are willing to take one or two clothes back.

Then, they will find that the clothes are comfortable and beautiful, and the price is cheaper than expected. In this way, how can they not buy a few more.

Therefore, in less than half a month, all the inventory in the garment factory was exhausted.

It was at this time that the negotiations were completely over, and Darcy's fleet of overseas purchases of materials had just arrived in the port of London, and everything was just right.

The first batch of clothes were all sold out, which caused a stir in London and made Darcy and others a lot of money.

It is only a rough estimate that the profit should be around [-] pounds, and this is only two months of production, which shows how popular the effect is.

The bulk of the clothing factory is in the hands of Darcy, who originally controlled 90% of the shares, and the rest was distributed to the factory manager who managed the factory and some management personnel.

During the transformation, Mr. Anxi, Bentley and Mr. Fitzwilliam all invested money in, so the shares in Darcy's hands needed to be redistributed.

After discussion, Darcy took the lead, taking 35%, Anxi provided technology and ideas, and took 25%, while Bentley and Colonel Fitzwilliam each took 10%.

In other words, in just these two months, Anxi has already earned [-] to [-] yuan, which is not surprising.

This is just the beginning, as long as it is done well in the future, the profits will increase further.

However, there is no need for Anxi to worry about the following matters. Darcy will find a good agent to supervise the affairs of each store, and the factory also has a factory manager who is responsible for production. Anxi only needs to wait for the money to be collected.

On this day, Colonel Fitzwilliam came to visit Anzai with Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley during his busy schedule.

Anxi was practicing martial arts in the back garden, covered in sweat. Seeing them coming, he asked the housekeeper to greet him, took a shower by himself, cleaned up before going to the living room, and chatted with them.

"Fitzwilliam, aren't you very busy? Why do you have time to come over?"

"It's a good thing. Don't you want to buy the manor? The Jones family is selling all kinds of property in order to repay the debts owed to the owners of the textile mills. Among them is the manor in Hertfordshire." Colonel Fitzwilliam explained. road.

"Isn't Sir Jones already in prison? It is said that he will be imprisoned for ten years, so who is selling these properties?" Anxi asked curiously.

Before, he regretted that although at the request of the workers, the higher-ups convicted Sir Jones and sent him to prison, they did not specify the amount of compensation.

In other words, no matter how much he earned from it, he could just return it, and Sir Jones did not need compensation for more.

When Sir Jones came out and collected a batch of funds, after making money, he would naturally distribute it to those people.Jones himself took some of it, but definitely not all of it.

Now, Sir Jones has been arrested, but no one else has. For the sake of the Jones family, Sir Jones did not disclose them, but only dragged a few businessmen with no background into the water.

So not only did those people get the money, but they didn't have to pay anything.

Now that Sir Jones has been sentenced, it is stipulated that the money returned is the part he earned, not all of it. It has to be said that there must be those people behind the push to achieve such a result.

This is good for themselves, and they don't have to hand over the money they get.It's good for Sir Jones, at least his family can keep it, and the original property of his family can smoothly fall into the hands of his eldest son.

The only ones who are affected are the owners of the textile mills, but what can they do? The higher-ups are already saving face, and if some of them are returned, what else do you want?

You spent money to buy those expensive raw materials at the beginning, and you were voluntary, no one forced you, right?

The textile mill owners had no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow their blood. Who made them weak.

Such a result, on the surface, everyone is satisfied.

As far as the Jones family is concerned, the previous family property is left behind. Although they have lost a little, they still have the capital to make a comeback.

Unexpectedly, Colonel Fitzwilliam actually said that Sir Jones' eldest son would sell his assets and pay back the money for his father.

"Really? Is Sir Jones' son so filial? Does Sir Jones know the news? Won't he stop his son?"

Why does this sound so fanciful?

If it was in ancient China, this thing could really happen, no, it would definitely happen, because ancient China paid attention to filial piety, if you don’t do this, you will be drowned by spitting stars.

But it seems very strange in the West. It's not that they are not filial, but that they will not advocate this kind of behavior of going bankrupt just to save their father.

In their eyes, the continuation of the family is more important. For this reason, a series of systems have been formulated, such as the eldest son monopolizing all the family property, and other children can only get a little consolation prize.

It is to prevent the family property from being divided.

But in this situation, the Jones family is not at the end of their rope. As long as they stay honest, they can live a prosperous life as before.Is it necessary to make such a fuss?

Colonel Fitzwilliam sneered, "Do you really think that Mr. Jones Jr. is trying to save his father? He just wants to sell these properties in exchange for enough pounds to live a happy life overseas."

"Are you going to run away? Why, we won't do anything to him." Bingley asked puzzled.

That was the way it was. After Sir Jones' verdict came out, Darcy decided to stop. Now that the evil Sir Jones had been punished, they didn't have to follow the original plan to bankrupt the Jones family.

Therefore, they have not made any arrangements for the Jones family's property recently, and are only concentrating on the garment factory.

"It's a guilty conscience. Although Mr. Jones Jr. didn't participate, he couldn't be ignorant of his father's behavior. In order not to be retaliated, he planned to leave the UK." Colonel Fitzwilliam explained.

As for whether it was because of this, the four people present didn't care. They only cared about whether the sale of the property was true. After confirming that it was true, they took action.

The first is the manor in Hertfordshire. Not only Anxi wants it, but Bentley also wants it.

But he had already bought the plantation before, and he still owed Anxi and Darcy a large sum of money, so if he thought about it, he would forget it.

Anxi counted the cash in his hand and found that it was not enough. He took out a large part of it before and used it to cheat Sir Jones. Later, the money became a plantation and a rubber factory.

The plantation went to Bentley, leaving an IOU.He only wanted a part of the shares in the rubber factory, and the bulk was given to Darcy, and the recovered funds were exchanged with Darcy for his shares in other industries.

In addition, when the goods were given to Darcy, part of the settlement was replaced by the shares of Darcy's property.

These industries have earned him a little money so far, plus the profits from the garment factory, he has a total of about one hundred thousand pounds in his hands.

But this is far from enough. Although the manor in Hertfordshire is not as valuable as the plantation, it is also worth a lot. It costs [-] to [-] to [-] yuan.

"Darcy, it seems that I can only borrow money from you. I really don't want to miss that manor." Anxi has earned a lot from these properties, and Darcy must have earned even more.

Without further ado, Darcy agreed directly.

A few days later, when they had raised enough money, they heard the sad news.

His Excellency the Duke, the one who owned one-third of the mine at the beginning, bought the manor for a total of 20 pounds because he was grateful for Sir Jones' matchmaking.

However, the other properties of the Jones family were taken away by another lord, and the price was slightly higher than the market price.

Others would definitely think that this is the generosity of the two big men, and they are returning favors.

But for Anxi and the others, no!

If the guess is correct, the customs officer that Sir Jones was looking for at the beginning may have something to do with these two.

The four of them looked at each other, it was really troublesome now.

I didn't expect Sir Jones to come in, and he could still make such a moth.
