Chapter 1547: Special strike culture

"Trouble you." Gao Leng thanked Jason very much. Although this man is not an imperial person, he has a chivalrous spirit.
"I'll call her and ask. If Hana doesn't have time, please ask someone to talk to you. I don't know much about the media. It's like a mountain. It's better to inquire."
Jason was very enthusiastic and walked to the side with his cell phone and whispered on the phone.
Gao Leng's assistant hurriedly walked in, and handed over a piece of information: "Tomorrow's meeting will be awkward. Several people are now on vacation."
Gao Leng took it and took a look. Good fellow, yoko magazine had seventeen middle-level cadres attending this meeting, and five were missing.
"Isn't there only three missing yesterday? Why are there five today." Gao Leng frowned and asked the International Business Department to send a message to yoko magazine before coming. Gao always came over for a meeting.
"This is unstoppable... This is Paris, not the imperial capital. They take a vacation if they want to take a vacation. It is legal, and you can't drive them." The assistant was very embarrassed. He had notified yoko magazine as early as a month ago, but There are still a few people with unique personalities, just pick this time off, what can you do?
There are ten days of legal leave a year in France, and there are 20-35 days of paid leave. This is fixed, and many state-owned enterprises or good enterprises have more holidays.
Especially for veteran magazines like yoko fashion magazine that take the elegant route, the company gives 49 days a year of vacation.
"It's just like winter and summer vacations." Gao Leng furrowed his eyebrows more and more. With such a holiday method, it is also a magazine of ever-changing fashion. It's no wonder that an old magazine like Yoko is going to close down.
We always say that one of our fine traditions is diligence. This is true, Bibi knows it. In the empire, it is difficult to separate work and private life. It is common to call overtime from time to time. Starlight Group is not bad, with three times the overtime salary and a lot of money and dinner. It is not uncommon for mobile phones to be on standby after get off work. It is common in the empire for some companies to pull business and find support from relatives and friends, post advertisements in the circle of friends, and ask for votes for company activities.
In France?
Work with relatives?
It's unimaginable.
"It's okay. It's okay to have a few people. Let's have a meeting together. I will get familiar with the business." Gao Leng can only take the second place. If you go to the countryside, you can't ask someone to come back. When people come back, people will not bird you.
"The problem is that I just received the news that the printing plant is on strike and their representatives can't come to the meeting..." The assistant looked sad.
"Ah? Strike?!" Gao Leng felt a bit of a headache. He had to know that this magazine is a paper medium, and printing is the one he most wants to solve. The printing factory he cooperated with went on strike. What should I do?
How to do? Cold dressing.
"Why strike?" Gao Leng asked.
"There are any reasons for this, let alone this kind of printing factory is prone to strikes, pollution, tired or something, what weather is too hot, too cold, too many rainy days, too many cloudy days, anyway... …Strike at every turn." The assistant looked helpless.
"This is the case. The last time I went to take the train, I also caught up with them on strike. How can this kind of public facilities strike in China? It made me toss for a long time before reaching the destination." Another person took the stubbornly: "Every year, France There have been nearly a thousand strikes, large and small, strikes by cleaners, civil servants, teachers, anyway... strikes are now French culture anyway."
In a country about the size of Sichuan, so many strikes are also drunk.
This is the unique culture of France, called the paid strike culture.
Yes, when strikes, they are paid.
Gao Leng held his forehead, headache, too, civil servants are on strike, what is the total of the workers in the printing factory?
"Our yoko magazine has had a relatively small number of strikes in the past three years, only three times. This time when you came, they were very obedient and did not strike." The assistant relieved.
...
Gao Leng has a feeling of wanting to escape from Paris.
Such an atmosphere makes people afraid to invest money here.
He seemed to understand why Huantai Enterprise failed to operate in Europe.
Whenever news of a strike in France appears in the country, many netizens express envy and envy.
Oops, it would be great if our country also had a strong trade union.
We are in dire straits, look at other people, strike will be able to get a good policy...
In fact, there is a big gap between ideal and reality.
Trade unions in France are world-renowned, and their protection of workers can be called angels: working 35 hours a week is equivalent to five hours a day, at least seven weeks of paid leave each year, and life-long system for old employees. If you want to dismiss, compensation Until you can't cry, yes, even if this old employee is extremely inefficient.
Is this really good?
France, which had a solid foundation before, was able to handle it, but it has not been able to do so in recent years. The French media will always have a similar headline when a strike occurs: Look, the group of lazy men went on strike again.
The style of painting is completely different from that in China.
This has also led to the reluctance of foreign companies to invest in France, and it is difficult for local companies to add new employees. After all, it is difficult for old employees to open up new positions. Therefore, the unemployment rate in France now exceeds 10%.
The youth unemployment rate is as high as 25%.
"Yoko magazine has such a high welfare and needs to support so many people. These people are still lazy at work. How can this be carried on?" Gao Leng sat down and looked at the latest information.
The same is true for countries. You are a high-welfare country, but the premise is that you have a strong national economy. According to the words of the empire, no matter how strong the foundation is, you will be defeated.
What is the prerequisite for always having high benefits? It is the people working harder and higher production efficiency.
Fortunately, there is a rich tax in France, scraping a large piece of meat from the rich to raise a group of people. But this has also led to a large number of wealthy immigrants to Russia, Belgium, the United Kingdom and other countries with low tax rates.
Now it seems that Gao Leng's entry into Paris seems to be a wrong choice.
There are many difficulties even to hold a meeting, let alone reform.
"What's the matter? It's on strike?" Jason walked in and understood what information was on the table. He smiled bitterly: "Mr. Gao, you didn't arrive in time. Autumn is the peak of our strike in France. You just came into the winter, and you happened to step on the tail of autumn."
Is this thing divided into seasons? !
Gao Leng was dumbfounded.
"First, resume the meeting." Jason held out a finger.
Autumn is the resumption of the French National Assembly to discuss the government budget for the next year. At this point in time, we must fight for our own welfare rights, and naturally we will strike more.
"Second, in a bad mood..." Jason stretched out his second finger.
"This has just entered winter... why are you in a bad mood?" Gao Leng asked.
"You think, the summer vacation time just passed. During our summer vacation, most of the companies are not going to work. I went home from the vacation and the money was gone. When I went home, it took more than a month. The bill is mailed, the tax bill, do you know how heavy our taxes in France are?"
France's taxation is indeed heavy, even watching a TV, there is a TV tax.
"Besides, after taking the leave, I have accumulated so much work. Can I feel good? So the strike, you have just entered the winter and it is worse. It happens to be the peak of the strike. After working for a month, the mood is extremely bad. ."
...
Gao Leng once again held his forehead.
What a headache.
"Third, this is our culture, the culture of strikes. You see, our strikes are different from strikes in other countries. We have no sadness, no one shouts any slogans, and is not angry. Everyone is happy. , Bouncing around, just like celebrating a holiday, a group of people walk around the street."
"Mr. Gao, if this meeting is not done well, maybe yoko magazine will go on strike." The assistant added.
...
Gao Leng was speechless.
"Then which season is the best?" he asked.
"Spring, only spring, we have the highest enthusiasm for work." Jason bent down slightly and made a polite posture, and smiled: "There is a saying, spring work, summer vacation, this fall strikes, in winter...we celebrate the holidays! "
Work in spring, vacation in summer, strike in autumn, and celebrate holidays in winter.
Although this saying is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed extracted from reality. Why is the elegant Frenchman elegant and calm.
Gao Leng understood.
Coincidentally, he caught up with the tail of autumn which likes to strike and the beginning of winter which celebrates festivals.
"It doesn't matter, the meeting will continue as usual tomorrow." Gao Leng put the information aside, and he didn't believe it. He lacked a few people and should be able to figure out the foundation of the company. As for the printing side, I would invite a few people to chat alone. Drink afternoon tea or something.
"Hana is on vacation..." Jason sighed and sat next to Gao Leng, took a sip of the wine and Run Run and continued: "But although she didn't say inviting you over to play, she will attend tomorrow night. If you are interested in a party, go to that party, I can get an invitation."
Gao Leng nodded and glanced at Jason gratefully. Before, he always held prejudice against gays and felt a bit disgusting. But Jason made him think about gay. Apart from the fact that Lanhua is a bit of a wife, he is still very righteous.
"Well, did you fall for the jet lag tonight, or did you see a few friends of mine? These are Empires, there are media, and others." Jason asked.
"I'm not tired. They have jet lag. Let me meet your friends." Gao Leng glanced at the exhausted translator standing at the door. He glanced at the assistant: "Give me another translator, my employee today Children rest."
"Translation? I'll find it for you." Jason laughed and patted his chest: "I will show you the orthodox Parisian girl. This girl likes the empire very much. After a year of exchange and study in the empire, she still knows you. I really admire you. The year she went to the empire, she said she read some of your reports and what reports did she report?"
Jason said, flipping the phone, raising his eyes and asking, "Do you think it's okay? If possible, I'll call her."
"Thank you, great." Gao Leng quickly agreed.
When I arrived in Paris, there were local Parisian girls as translators, and a group of Jason friends drinking and drinking, which could quickly bring Gao Leng into this country, especially friends from the media, which could understand what he wanted to know. .
"Anna, Mr. Gao invited you to our party, um, yes, the theme of the party is an oriental party, remember to dress very oriental, this is your first party after the coming-of-age ceremony."
18 years old? !
Gao Leng was taken aback.
I thought it would be a mature woman in her 30s.
"This is her first party after the coming-of-age ceremony. She is very happy to see you. Don't think she is still a child. If you are an adult, if you think she is a child, she will feel insulted." Jason stood I got up: "Then Mr. Gao, take a break first. I'll go to the party to have a look."
"Thanks for your hard work." Gao Leng was a little embarrassed to see that Jason was so thoughtful.
"Yes, you are Su Su's friend and my friend." Jason waved his hand, put on his hat and left.
