America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 115 Collecting Membership Fees, Setting Standards, Justice Alliance

When Li Changsheng learned about Oliver's situation, he was shocked.

His clones rarely suffered losses because they helped each other.

Even if you suffer a loss, it will only be a small one.

Oliver is the first person to be beaten so badly he could barely stand up.

"The Pinkerton Detective Agency? Well done!"

"So that's why this factory did that. Turns out they hired Pinkerton Detective Agency as bodyguards."

The Pinkerton Detective Agency is quite famous.

Even though Li Changsheng was just an ordinary person in his previous life, he had still read a lot of news about the Pinkerton Detective Agency online.

The Pinkerton Detective Agency in this parallel world is not much different from the one in his own world.

In this day and age, and even in the decades to come, they will be acting as henchmen of capital.

They suppressed rebellions, protected money, and cracked down on striking workers for capitalists.

To sum it up in one sentence, they are all capitalists' dogs.

They work for capital, oppress the lower classes, and seek their own interests.

Moreover, they can be said to stop at nothing when it comes to doing things, which is why they were able to rise so quickly.

Although Li Changsheng's Global Patent Group also established its own Global Detective Agency, it was only for protecting the Group's businesses, not for targeting ordinary people.

I'd heard about the Pinkerton Detective Agency in my past life, and I'd heard about it again in this one, but this was the first time I'd experienced it firsthand.

After all, the Pinkerton Detective Agency targets ordinary people, and before this, he really didn't have any particularly ordinary identity.

Most of his alter egos were either farmers or factory owners.

So all he could do was hire others and work for himself. But because of the parallel world, he treated the workers in his factory better than others, and no one caused trouble, so naturally he didn't need the Pinkerton detectives.

This was our first encounter, and I never expected that I would almost lose one of my clones.

Oliver's workers' association was very important to Li Changsheng.

In the future, whether his alter egos become governors or members of parliament in various regions, enter Congress, or even become president, they will all need someone's support.

The workers' association will be a tremendous force.

If Oliver's matter ends here today, then his position as president of the industrial association also ends here.

From now on, it will be virtually impossible for Li Changsheng to control the Workers' Association.

So whether it's to control the Industrial Association or to avenge his clone, this matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved.

Faced with groups of workers who came to visit him, Oliver got out of his hospital bed and led them to an abandoned factory.

This factory was abandoned at the beginning of the year. Almost everything in the factory was moved out. The best thing about it is that the site is large enough.

He looked at the hundreds of worker representatives below and said with great sorrow.

"In the past, we fought for the interests of many workers, but what happened today made me realize that if workers want to have their own interests, they not only need a voice, but also sufficient power."

"At least when our members are treated unfairly, we can fight for fairness for them."

""

"What we need right now is money."

"Therefore, I propose that the labor association should start charging membership fees from today."

"We don't charge much, just 1%."

"Furthermore, the workers who collect membership fees must have had their working hours reduced or their wages increased with our assistance."

"Because for these two types of people, contributing 1% of their money as membership fees is not a loss for them, but a gain."

"At the same time, we use this 1% to help more workers. Once these people can also receive substantial benefits, our membership fees will increase, and we will help more and more people."

"With money, we'll have a way to solve this situation again."

"Many things are not problems if you pay enough."

On this point, none of the worker representatives below disagreed.

After all, everyone knows that maintaining such a large workers' association definitely requires money, and that money should naturally come from the workers. Moreover, the chairman said that only those who have been helped by them should pay the membership fee, and those who have not been helped do not need to pay. This is very fair.

After all, those who have helped others earn more, so giving away 1% is nothing.

After the message was relayed, most people agreed. Although a small number disagreed, Oliver didn't force them; he simply asked those who disagreed to leave the labor association.

However, such people are in the minority.

Once he received his first membership fee, Oliver got to work.

He first used a portion of the money to help the six child laborers who were burned.

Then he took out $500 and gave it to a man named Adam.

This Adam is also an alter ego of Li Changsheng.

After establishing the American Workers Association, Li Changsheng naturally wanted to establish more associations in America and control more power in the country.

He originally planned to wait until the situation in the Far East was more or less resolved before summoning manpower, but Oliver got into trouble, so he summoned another clone, Adam.

After Adam's clone was summoned, Li Changsheng gave him one task: to establish America's number one assassin organization.

Of course, you can't build an assassin organization without money.

Fortunately, the previous diamond scam allowed Li Changsheng to obtain a total of more than 3000 million US dollars.

Besides the money he got from the two swindlers, he also stole the money that the remaining victims had later swindled from other stock market investors.

Li Changsheng gave a portion of this money to his clones, who then deposited it into Leicester's bank.

Furthermore, the establishment of the industrial association brought Leicester into the spotlight, which led to increased deposits in Leicester's banks, allowing Leicester's industries to grow rapidly.

of course.

Besides these, about $3000 million remains out of the $1500 million.

Li Changsheng gave Adam 500 million to develop an assassin organization.

The first commission Adam, the leader of the assassin organization, accepted came from his alter ego, Oliver.

Adam named his assassin organization the Justice League.

After Adam took the $500 million, Oliver immediately published his article in the Chinese American Daily.

"When the weak can only cry out, when justice no longer exists."

"We can only unite everyone's strength to fight for justice for those like us."

"The first expenditure of the workers' association dues will be made public. In addition, every expenditure of the workers' association in the future will be recorded and all workers will be invited to supervise it."

"Every penny we spend will be used to protect workers' rights."

"This $500 expenditure was given to an organization called the Justice League."

"They promised to help the children get everything that belongs to them."

"They also pledged to make those who don't treat children as human beings pay the price they deserve."

Clearly, this article is a slap in the face to the Justice League.

However, many people scoff at this name.

Nobody had ever heard of the Justice League.

Even the workers suspected that their chairman had spent the $500 and was just making up an excuse to say that.

However, they realized they were wrong the very next day.
