Chapter 381: Joining forces

Back in Detroit, Jack Welch's first words to Chen Geng were: "Fernandez, I found out that I fell for you." ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" asked Gui Gui, but Chen Geng's face was smiling.

"The situation at AMC is much more difficult than I thought. ”

Chen Geng nodded: "Isn't this normal, otherwise why would I give you such a high salary?"

Jack Welch: "......"

He held back his words, and was blocked back by Chen Geng's words.

"And if it weren't worse than Chrysler's original situation, how could you have surpassed Lee Iacoca?" Chen Geng said again with a smile.

“......”

With a depressed thumbs up, Jack Welch said helplessly: "Sir, I finally know why you are so rich." ”

"You don't know until now, it's too late!"

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time!

Smile to laugh, Jack Welch is still very grateful to Chen Geng for completely delegating power to himself and letting himself do things after he took office. Before that, Jack Welch also did his work and collected some information about AMC, but it was shallow on paper, and after taking over the position of chairman and CEO of AMC, Jack Welch knew how bad AMC's situation really was: to put it mildly, AMC is now an empty shell with nothing to show for it, and those companies that are in bad condition can be blown down by a gust of wind, AMC is not, AMC is even if there is no phoenix, you are not sure whether it will fall by itself in the next moment.

Being the chairman and CEO of such a company is a very, very test of management ability and level, and it is also a test of the trust and support of shareholders in themselves.

Fortunately, Chen Geng's support for himself made Jack Welch extremely satisfied, except for welcoming himself on the day he took office, he did not appear in the company once for more than a month - Mr. Fernandez's absence from the company was actually the biggest support for himself.

Even at General Electric, he has never received such great support.

After laughing, Chen Geng asked Jack Welch, "How are those Dongying people doing?"

"I was about to tell you this, boss, I think that in the future, our company's grassroots management positions should introduce more Dongying management personnel. ”

"Oh?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows.

The proposal to bring in Japanese employees and Japanese grassroots management employees had been communicated between the two before Jack Welch took office, but those Dongying people actually won Jack Welch's approval so quickly? This is somewhat unexpected by Chen Geng.

After hearing that AMC Automobile, one of the four major automobile giants in the United States, came to Dongying to recruit employees, and a considerable number of them were management positions, and the company would assist employees to get green cards after a certain period of work, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of those Dongying people frightened Chen Geng.

But if you think about the national character of the little devil carefully, it is very easy to understand: if you can get a green card from an American father and get US dollars, this is the treatment that the section director and ministers of your original company did not have, and from now on you will be an American.

"I am surprised by the seriousness and responsibility of those Dongying people in their posts," Jack Welch said of the company's Japanese employees, and he did not hesitate to praise them: "I have never seen such serious and responsible employees who love their jobs, God, I know why Dongying's automobile industry is not developed, but why their product quality is so good, if possible, I hope to replace our workers with Japanese employees!"

"That's impossible," Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "You really dare to do that, don't talk about those old men in Congress, the Detroit government can be anxious." ”

Jack Welch naturally understood this truth, and he said so, so he had to sigh, and then changed the topic: "Sir, do you want to go down and have a look?"

This is also the meaning of showing off and letting the boss inspect it with his own eyes, after all, until the sight is seen.

Chen Geng was not polite, he also wanted to see how the current AMC production workshop was compared with the original.

........................

It's not the same!

It's really different!

Although he only went to the stamping and welding workshop, and the spraying and assembly workshop had not yet been there, looking at the situation of the workshop and the mental outlook of the workers, Chen Geng found that the current AMC was completely different from the previous AMC.

To be more specific, in the past, the ground of the stamping workshop may not have lost a tool in the east and a part in the west, but now, this situation can no longer be seen, the ground is very clean and tidy, the tools are placed in an orderly manner, where it should be, and there are no workers in the workshop who do not wear safety helmets or deliberately open their collars, look lazy, and sleepwalk generally do not know what they are doing...... In a word, busy and orderly, busy but not chaotic.

In enterprise management, there is a saying called seeing the subtleties, through the management of the production site and the working status of the workers, you can roughly realize how the operating conditions of an enterprise are, how the management level of the management of the enterprise is, and now it is no exception, the situation of the two major process workshops of stamping and welding has proved that it is a wise choice to ask Jack Welch to serve as the chairman and CEO of the company.

Seeing the expression on Chen Geng's face, Jack Welch actually secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Chen Geng is under a lot of pressure, in fact, he Jack Welch is also under a lot of pressure, with such a high annual salary and dividends, it is not enough to just take AMC cars out of the quagmire, even if it is to restore AMC's former status as one of the four major American automakers, at least surpass Chrysler.

Why?

How much does Lee Iacocca get an annual salary at Chrysler? $600,000, and his annual salary is nearly ten times that of Lee Iacocca, and if he can't lead AMC to surpass Chrysler, he will become a big joke.

But now it seems that I have done a good job.

Chen Geng, comforting him, said: "Jack, don't worry, the current AMC, what you want is to seek stability and reverse the bad impression that AMC has left on the American people in the past as soon as possible, I told you at the beginning that your task in the first year is to adjust and sort out the quality management and control system of AMC, as long as this is done well, nothing else matters." ”

"I understand," Jack Welch nodded, but couldn't help frowning, "But our current production ...... I'm losing money every month. ”

Chen Geng understood what Jack Welch meant, AMC was losing money every month, and in the case that the bank refused to lend money to AMC, it all relied on the boss to transfuse blood from AMC, as a professional manager with the highest salary in the United States, Jack Welch had a lot of pressure on his shoulders!

"It's okay, didn't I just say it at the beginning, I'm ready to continue to lose money for a year or even two years," knowing that Jack Welch was worried, Chen Geng once again reiterated his original promise to him: "In addition, you should also know that as long as our sales situation improves, the bank will open its mouth...... Now, in addition to paying close attention to management, your job is to ensure that our two new products are a hit. ”

Jack Welch nodded heavily: The boss has already said this, what else can he say?

————————————————

After not waiting for Gary Kiridale's call for more than a week, Chen Geng thought he had rejected his proposal, so when Chen Geng received a call from Gary Kiridale, saying that he and his wife Dolucy wanted to talk to him carefully, Chen Geng was really surprised.

Surprised, surprised, if you don't agree to this kind of thing quickly, then your brain was kicked by a donkey, but what made Chen Geng a little depressed was that the meeting place Gary Kiridale asked for was still the new office address of Garrett 2000, which made people depressed, he just left, and he was going back?

"Mirren, you say, should we build a small airport next to the company? On the Beechcraft King Air 200, Chen Geng couldn't help but say to Mirren: "It doesn't need to be big, just a small airport that can take off and land small business jets." ”

Although the company has a helipad, it can't take off and land a small fixed-wing aircraft like the King Air in Beechcraft, and from Detroit to Silicon Valley, exhausting helicopters can't fly.

Mirren also felt that the Zhang family's boss's suggestion was good: "Of course you can, anyway, the land is so cheap...... Boss, didn't you say that the price of land in Silicon Valley will become more and more expensive in the future, since the land is cheap now, it is better to take this opportunity to build a small airport, and with this small airport, maybe it can attract some people to build new properties around us. ”

"Then it's settled, you go and contact our city councillor and ask him if he's willing to sell us some more land...... If he doesn't want to, he will build on our own land. "Buying about 10 acres of land from Milhouse and building a small and medium-sized airport might be a bit of a hassle, but it's not a problem to build a small airport with only one runway that can only take off and land small planes.

Hearing Chen Geng say that he planned to build a small runway near the company, Gary Kiridale and Dorothy Kiridale were also frightened by Chen Geng's generosity, Gary Kiridale's lips pursed for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice: "Fernandez, do you think it is necessary? In fact, the current road can also be used." ”

Like Chen Geng, Gary Kiridale also drove his Cessna 172, but compared with Chen Geng's Beechcraft King Air 200, his four-seat Cessna 172 looked more like a toy, so that when he saw Chen Geng's small plane, Gary Kiridale's eyes were full of envy.

Chen Geng waved his hand and said: "If we can use it now, but not in the future, and if our company becomes bigger, this area will inevitably develop, and when the time comes, there will be cars on the road, how can planes take off and land?"

“......”

Gary Kiridale stopped talking: If there is a lot of traffic on the road, it will definitely not work to block the road.

But he still didn't think much of Chen Geng's words in his heart, and even felt a little disappointed in Chen Geng, feeling that Chen Geng was purely burning with too much money...... Is it really a good thing to work with such a person? He hesitated.

But Dolucy is different, the day-to-day operation of the data research company is Dorothy is in charge, she keenly found something that her husband did not find through Chen Geng's suggestion, and immediately asked tentatively: "Mr. Fernandez, if I understand correctly, what do you mean, after Garrett 2000, this place will develop quickly?"
