Chapter 690: 237, what a talent!

They could even influence the rise and fall of an entire industry, and during presidential elections, securing the support of various labor unions was sought after.
In the classic Arican series “House of Cards”, there was a segnt that described this, where the protagonist wanted to pass a bill to showcase his abilities, but the bill infringed upon the interests of the Arican Teachers Union.
As a result, neither the President nor Congress wanted to be involved in this matter, yet at the sa ti, both wanted the benefits that ca with it.
However, if anyone truly believed that unions were completely selfless and only sought the welfare of their mbers, they were sorely mistaken.
People always seek their own interests, and union leaders are no exception.
...
When the power of a union beca strong enough, what the union leaders actually did was cooperate with capital to extract more from the workers.
Of course, they would also use their control over the workers to extract benefits from the capitalists.
Put simply, it was a case of eating from both sides of the plate!
In the seventies, a scandal involving unions broke out: forr UMW union president Boyer was colluding with coal owners, ready to go as far as murder to suppress dissenting workers during the election.
At that ti, three struggling minority workers decided to rob the union headquarters due to financial hardships but stumbled upon the union’s illegal loan operations and its collusion with criminal organizations, attempting to extort the union and subsequently becoming targets of retaliation by the union leaders.
But by then, the union had already taken shape, and no one dared to cross them lightly.
The whole thing beca an uncontrollable beast!
Coming back to the present, when ABC established a union, the reason why the employees were happy was that the union had not beco so corrupt yet, and everyone believed that joining the union would bring them more benefits, thus holding the union in high esteem.
And naturally, Mashang Evans, who had decided to establish the ABC union, was also revered by these employees.
Before long, Mashang Evans, the forr president who had left the company, had beco the most respected person in the company.
Since the news spread within the company, it naturally didn’t take long to reach the outside world, especially since the Wall Street Journal had reported on ABC the day before, with everyone keeping an eye on ABC’s situation.
“Evans’s move is really sothing, isn’t it?
If ABC establishes a union, he’s poised to beco the union chairman without question.
At that point, has he really left ABC, or has he not left ABC?”
“Donnie Block has really shot himself in the foot this ti.
I bet he’s regretting why he decided to remove Mashang Evans!”
“Actually, I think Mashang Evans isn’t so bad.
After all, if it weren’t for him these past two years, ABC couldn’t have developed so quickly!”
Such discussions began to spread on Wall Street, and many began to praise Mashang Evans’s capabilities.
But if one observed closely, they would find that all the people supporting Mashang Evans were actually company employees, with very few from the managent level.
Conversely, when higher-ups and decision-makers from so Wall Street firms discussed this matter, they had a completely different take.
“I thought Mashang Evans was sobody, but it turns out he’s such a fool!”
“Yeah, I now understand why Donnie had to remove him.
Honestly, the fact that Donnie could tolerate such an idiot as the president of ABC for so long is quite remarkable!”
“For ABC to grow into Arica’s number one broadcasting company under such a foolish person, it really seems that everything was due to Donnie’s behind-the-scenes strategizing!”
“I just can’t imagine how soone who harms company interests and stands against them thinks they can make a coback in the company?”
The thoughts of these people were actually quite straightforward: Mashang Evans’s current actions were severely harming ABC’s interests, and the fact that he was a forr president of ABC made this behavior even more frightening to every company leader.
In fact, this blocked all paths back for Evans himself.
One could imagine that with two years of experience as the president of ABC, even if Evans had left ABC, he would have easily found a similar job.
But now, with Evans stirring things up like this, he had imdiately made the others see his true colors, and no company owner would hire soone like that!
This discussion naturally reached the ears of Mashang Evans.
“Who let this out?”
Evans was sowhat panicked at this point; he hadn’t anticipated this kind of outco.
He wasn’t the burn-all-bridges type, and the reason he dared to start this union was because he understood he still had a way out.
But now, as the news spread, he had imdiately found himself at odds with capital.
A re rumor had put Evans squarely against all of capital, and this was certainly not the result he had wanted.
After thinking it over, Evans saw the situation clearly: he had no way out.
If he retreated, he would face an abyss.
He would lose all the connections he had accumulated over the past two years in New York, and he would leave the city in disgrace.
Moving forward, even though the path was bristling with thorns, at least there was still a chance of success!
