Chapter 1004: Undercurrents are surging
Although Chen Geng and Anthony Fokker agreed on the intention to acquire Falkland-United Aviation Technologies, such an acquisition was complicated, and both sides needed to send a large team to communicate and negotiate the details of the acquisition.
But fortunately, the situation faced by Fokker is really bad, and the shareholders of the company do not have too much thought to talk to Chen Geng, and the whole negotiation process can be said to be orderly, but under this seemingly harmonious surface, there is an undercurrent surging in the dark......
"Brastyk, have you heard?"
"Donal, what did you say?"
"The company is ready to sell our F70 production line......"
"What?!" Brastek is a mechanic on the F70 aircraft production line of Fokker Company, and when he heard his co-worker Donal say this, Brastek immediately exploded: "Really, don't lie to me!"
"What am I lying to you about," Donal said, "You don't know about the F70 situation, the company can't receive new orders, and after the completion of the F70 you are producing now, the entire F70 production line will be stopped and sold." ”
"But...... It can't be ......"
Brastek didn't want to admit that what Donal said was true, but his heart kept sinking, although he was just a rivet mechanic on the production line, but he also knew about the situation of F70, in the case that the production progress of this batch of F70 has reached 85%, according to past experience, the next batch of F70 should have been prepared for the next batch of F70, but so far, the company has not made any preparations for the production of the next batch of F70......
Could it be that the company really can't receive orders for F70?
This possibility, which had never appeared in Brastek's mind, made his heart sink continuously: if the company could not receive the order, what would he do? Will he be unemployed?
But despite this, Brastek still said stiffly: "But even so, after all, we are employees of the company, and we have signed an employment contract with the company, even if there is no production task, the company will still pay us wages...... Maybe we'll be temporarily reassigned to an F100 or F50 position?"
"......Shh Brastyk, my friend, don't be stupid," Donal looked at Brastyk like a fool, "...... hiss", and said: "The daily working hours on the F100 side have been reduced from 7 hours to 6 and a half hours, and the working hours on the F50 side have been reduced from 7 hours a day to 6 hours...... Any idea what that means?"
"This ...... This ......"
Brastek was completely panicked, of course he knew what that meant, which meant that the F100 and F50 were not very well run at a rate, so the company had to reduce production capacity by shortening the daily working hours, and it also meant that if the situation of the company was really as Dornal said, it was really likely that the F70 workers would have no more work to do after completing the production of this batch of F70s.
So the question is, when the production teams of the F50 and F100 do not have jobs for the F70 workers, what should they do when the time come......s?
Going unemployed?!
As soon as the idea of "unemployment" appeared in Brastyk's mind, Brastyk's whole person was about to explode!
For Westerners, there is nothing more terrifying than unemployment, for Westerners who have no deposit habits and like to spend in advance, cars are loans, houses are loans, decoration is loans, household appliances at home are loans, college is also loans, travel funds are loans, and even clothes in the closet and shoes in the shoe cabinet may also be loans.
If you have a job, it's not a big problem, it's a big deal to pay it slowly, but once you lose your job, it's like the sky is falling, if you can't repay the loan on time, the bank will evict you from the house, take your car away, and you can only sleep on the street or on a park bench at night......
It's chilling to think about!
"Yes, we're going to be unemployed," Donal took a deep breath: "Brastek, you know, we must not be unemployed, and once we are unemployed, everything is over. ”
Brastek muttered a little dejectedly: "You're right, we can't be unemployed......"
"But the situation of the company is here, and we have to do something about it, otherwise we will lose our jobs. ”
Brastyk had completely lost his backbone, and now hearing Donal say this, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and hurriedly asked, "What about it...... What do we do?"
For Brastek, there is nothing more important than having a job.
"It's actually very simple," at this moment, Donal finally revealed his original purpose: "Have you forgotten that we are members of the union, and this is the time to fight for our interests through the union." ”
Trade union...... Trade union?!
That's right!
Brastek reacted suddenly, his eyes lit up and frightened: he was still a member of the trade union!
Because 5% of the monthly salary was handed over to the union, Brastek used to feel sorry for the money, but now, Brastyk suddenly has a feeling that he has found a backer and found his mother's family: I am not alone, I am covered by the union!
"Donal, what do the union guys say?" Brastek asked Donal anxiously, "how are they going to negotiate with the company?"
"I don't know yet, but the union people are discussing countermeasures right now," Donal shook his head, "but if necessary, do you participate in the union's strikes and protests?"
"Of course!" Brastek nodded without hesitation: "If there is a need, of course I will." ”
Going on strike to keep his job? This is too normal in Brastek's opinion.
"Okay, in that case, you sign here," Donal took out a notebook from his bag and handed it to Brastek, "As long as you sign, it means that you agree to participate in the strike when necessary, and fight for your rights and interests in the form of strikes, and I will notify you when it is necessary to strike." ”
Brastek did not hesitate to swipe his name where he needed to sign it.
Similar conversations and exchanges are taking place from time to time on the production line of the F70......
....................................
"Mr. Busenmark, what are you looking for me?"
Anthony Falk frowned, looking at the thorn in front of him, and his mood was not too beautiful - in the West, for the management of any company, the heads of the union are a bunch of goddamn thorns.
Yesterday, the union made an appointment with itself through its secretary for today's meeting, but the union did not say what it was to discuss at the meeting, but only said that it would meet at that time - yes, the union is so arrogant.
In the face of Anthony Fock's displeasure, Busenmark shook his head indifferently, as the chairman of the Falkland-United Aviation Technology Workers' Union, he actually didn't take Anthony Fock very seriously. Of course, there is still at least respect, nodding slightly to Anthony Faulk, Busenmark said: "Mr. Fokk, on behalf of the union, let me ask, has the company received a new order for F70 recently?"
"This has nothing to do with your union, does it?" said Anthony Falk with a frown.
"Of course it matters," Busenmark shook his head and said, "Now this batch of F70 on the production line has reached 85% of the production progress, according to the normal process, the next batch of F70 has already begun to enter the preparation stage, but according to the information we have, the company has not made any preparations,"
Speaking of this, Busenmark suddenly stared at Anthony Falk: "Of course, these have nothing to do with our workers, but what we care about is, if there is no order, what is the company going to pay our workers?"
In the face of Bushenmark's sudden aggressiveness and temptation, Anthony Faulk's face did not change for a moment: "What to pay you is not something you should consider, as for what the company uses to pay workers, that is a question I need to consider." ”
"Okay, then I'll rest assured," Busenmark nodded, stood up with a smile, and walked to the door, he suddenly turned to look at Anthony Falk: "Mr. Falk, remember, this is your promise, well, I won't disturb your work, goodbye." ”
Looking at the figure of Busenmark leaving, Anthony Faulk's face sank like water, he knew very well that Busenmark's arrival this time was actually another warning to himself, a warning that the union would take action next, and considering the company's next situation, Anthony Faulk already understood in his heart that the union was done, but what does this have to do with himself, even if it is a headache, he should have a headache with another person.
At this moment, Anthony Falk suddenly realized that giving up a controlling stake in the company was sometimes not necessarily a bad thing.
........................
After hanging up the phone, Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "Fokker's union is going to make trouble?"
Fock's union wants to make trouble, which is actually expected by Chen Geng.
