Chapter 356: ,Knockoff

With the direct support of the French, the strikes of textile workers have naturally become increasingly difficult to control. Of course, the British, especially those capitalists in the British textile industry, will not sit still. They had actually established a lot of contacts with the French before, and even many of them were so-called "pro-French". At this time, they naturally have to use these connections with France they obtained in previous years to work hard for themselves.
After the representatives of the Textile Industry Association had some contact with the French, they brought back news like this:
"Practitioners in the textile industry in the Netherlands have spent a lot of money in France in recent years. Of course, this is not the most important thing, because they are not more than us. The key is that they spend money on newspapers. On the one hand, this makes their voice louder than ours. Coupled with the 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 communicated.
"What do you do? Thomas, what did they say?" Wren asked quickly.
"They are very dissatisfied with the large number of imitations imitating 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 imitations of the'Chris' series of menswear are from the United Kingdom. , This makes, this makes the highest level over there very dissatisfied..."
"What? Which did this!" Someone yelled before Thomas's voice.
"Which is it! I dare to grab this kind of money, isn't this cheating us all!"
"We have a black sheep!"
"Really, don’t you want money? Don’t even think about it, the'Chris’ series of menswear, that is...that’s the property of the saint of Bonaparte! I heard that she got something special in the family The favorite of the first ruling lord, you dare to steal her money...The way to make money is, why do you want to make this kind of money?"
This kind of thing is actually very easy to investigate, after all, everyone is a vampire for thousands of years, and no one wants to pretend to be a werewolf there. So everyone immediately focused on one person.
"What are you staring at me for? Although I have a garment factory, I have never made counterfeit ‘Chris’ series of clothes..." The man found out that it was wrong, so he quickly defended.
"That fake'Chris' series of clothing, strictly speaking, really can't be considered a counterfeit." Thomas, acting as the messenger, said coldly, "The French even showed me samples, the'Chris' on the trademark of the counterfeit product. In the end, there was another's', although it was deliberately made with a black line, it was very inconspicuous, and you wouldn't be able to see it if you didn't pay attention. But it's 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 that I'm sorry for all of us and caused such a big trouble to us all, then let us all go to your garment factory and go to 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. We should all visit them together." Robson hurriedly Tao.
As a result, the faces of several people named by Robson turned white.
"Let's go now!" someone shouted.
"Yes, yes, go right now!"
"I'm going to see who it is that has harmed us all..."
"Don't be busy, let Thomas continue to talk, what else did the French say. This is the most important thing!" Rennes said loudly.
So everyone was quiet, everyone's eyes turned to Thomas.
"The French said that this kind of thing is intolerable. And they also said..."
"what did they say?"
"They said that they have made us a lot of money. For this reason, the local textile industry in France already has a lot of complaints. In the garment industry, French products have been dominant, and this is also for the French textile industry. The appeasement of the people. Therefore, they hope that we British will not join the competition in the ready-to-wear industry." Thomas said.
"They are trying to monopolize the garment industry." A person whispered.
"If they want, this market really can only give them." Renn nodded and said, "Although the profit rate of this industry is high, the market is actually not big. Let them, as long as they can keep the European cloth market. , Even 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 a face with the French for the money..."
"So, those workers, there are still sanctions?" someone asked again.
Thomas sighed and said: "The French said that since the knife has been pulled out, even for the sake of saving face, there is no reason to just plug it in without doing anything. What's more... If you don't really cut a knife or two, they doubt it. We will underestimate their determination and cause more misjudgments. Therefore, in order to avoid more incidents that damage the mutual trust between the two sides due to misjudgments, these measures will continue for some time..."
"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 proposed that if the'white paper' After the publication, the Textile Industry Association can publish a statement stating that it will conduct self-examination and self-correction against the content 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 sufficient It's lifted," Thomas said.
"Two months, this... this is still too slow."
"Yeah, can you..."
"The French actually meant to give us a cruel, to prove that they have a knife in their hands and dared to cut people. They will not give in." Rennes said, "We have lost a lot in two months, but It's not really unsupportable. Now people are knives and we are meat, so what can we do?
"It's all because you are too greedy and don't let any money go!" So everyone's anger returned to those who had garment factories.
Immediately afterwards, the "Textile Industry Association" conducted surprise inspections on the warehouses of several companies. To say that Mr. Robson did not lie, indeed, no fake "Chris" series of clothing were found in his factories and warehouses. He really didn't do this thing. But the other things that everyone saw made everyone even more angry.
"Hehe, veteran safari outfit, veteran backpack, veteran rain cloak... Damn! Robson, how dare you even fake this? Do you know the veteran series? What kind of background is it!"
Robson, who had been arrested, was silent.
"Damn it! Why don't you die! Everyone knows that the "Veterans" series is owned by the French Veterans Association. This organization has an unusually high status in French politics. Your behavior is better than imitation. The'Chris' series is even more serious! You are such a guy!"
"That gang of French veterans is the hardest thing to provoke. They are people who don’t agree with each other and dare to rebel with guns. You hacked their money. No wonder the French reacted so fiercely. No, because of your mischief We have brought huge losses-Robson, you must make compensation!"
"I am not an'veteran', I really am not an'veteran'. The logo on me is different from the'veteran'!" Robson defended his face pale.
"Robson, do you treat us as a fool? You made money, but you killed us all!"
"I suggest that after this inspection is over, a meeting should be held immediately to discuss how to deal with the problem. For now, let's continue our inspection."
The results of inspections with a few guys who have garment factories are not very good. Almost every garment factory is doing such a thing. In Iger, they found the counterfeit "Chris" series of menswear; in Davis, they found the "Kris" series of women's clothing; in Berkeley, they once again found something from the "Veteran" series …In short, the French accusations against them are very reasonable.
At the next meeting ~EbookFREE.me~ the indignant bosses expressed their condolences to the female relatives of the "black sheep", and then quickly passed a resolution to impose high fines on these "black sheep" . In order to compensate other textile merchants who were damaged.
At the same time, the "Textile Industry Association" also made a decision to prohibit members from opening garment factories.
As for the French people's proposal to make a positive response to the "White Paper" and make some rectifications, and welcome the French people to check the proposal, it was passed with a clear advantage.
Of course, during this period of time, the less mess in the British textile industry, the better. For example, the shooting and massacre of workers like the last time must never happen again. Otherwise, a similar thing will happen 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'Union Trade Union', I think they can stop first and don't cause any trouble. This is especially true when Miss Bonaparte is still in the slums. We must let them The guys in the police department should stop chasing the workers’ representatives and maintain their current contracts. They will not increase the intensity of their work or cut their wages. Don’t let our enemies have a chance to count against us.
Rehn said.
