Chapter 335: Whoever strikes, get out!
"Although I am the chairman of AMC, I am not the chairman of the board of directors, to put it bluntly, I am just a senior professional manager, so ......" Stafford shrugged his shoulders and looked a lot more relaxed: "Mr. Fernandez, no matter what you want, we can talk slowly......"
As long as the capital market is sure that AMC can get capital injection, and this person does have enough money to inject into AMC, AMC's stock price will definitely be able to slowly rise, which is enough for his chairman, and AMC's bottom line can be adjusted with the increase in stock price...... This is also the most common tool used by large companies in the United States at the capital level.
But how could Chen Geng not think of Staff's careful thoughts?
"Talk slowly?" Chen Geng's eyes narrowed quietly: "I'm sorry, I didn't plan to talk slowly." β
"Mr. FernΓ‘ndez ......"
"Please wait for me to finish," Stave had just opened his mouth, and Chen Geng waved his hand: "Mr. Staff, first of all, I want to determine a question: does AMC plan to dilute this part of the shares I have acquired from other shareholders in equal proportions, or does one or several shareholders plan to sell their shares to me?"
Does this question matter?
Of course it's important!
If it is diluted in equal proportions, it means that the money is left in AMC, and then the company's production technology and process will be improved, and the management method will be adjusted...... and so on, you can use this money, Chen Geng doesn't have to invest money in AMC anymore;
But if some shareholders sell their shares to Chen Geng, then the problem is big, which means that those shareholders who plan to sell their shares are completely tired of the stinky dung pit of AMC, and they sell their shares and are ready to take the money and live happily.
But these guys are happy with the money, but what should they do with Chen Geng, who has no dime in his account and has a lot of shares in AMC in his hands? The only way is to throw money into the muddy pit of AMC, and maybe throw another 120 million yuan into it.
Stafford didn't expect Chen Geng's first concern to this problem, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
That's right, because of AMC's losses for many years, many shareholders can't help it, if they didn't want to sell their shares and can't sell them at a good price, these shareholders would have already sold their shares and pulled out of the stinky dung pit of AMC - it's not that they don't want to withdraw, but they can't pull out at all.
Whether it was the previous contact with the French Renault Group or the contact with Chen Geng this time, many shareholders who were uninterested in the stinky dung pit of AMC and planned to take this opportunity to withdraw saw an excellent opportunity, but now it seems that Fernandez has no intention of giving them this opportunity at all.
Looking at Staff's expression, Chen Geng's eyes suddenly narrowed: "Huh...... Looks like someone really plans to cheat me for another amount of money......"
"Mr. Fernandez, you misunderstood," at this point, Staf could not have done so without hastening to explain, otherwise the negotiations might have been completely ruined here: "I do not deny that some shareholders do intend to withdraw from AMC, but most shareholders are still confident in the future of AMC...... However, when there is an injection of external capital, there is also a consensus that the original shareholders are allowed to profit from it...... If you have any thoughts on this piece, we can talk about it slowly......"
β...... Well, this one can be discussed. After some thought, Chen Geng finally nodded: "Hinting at the specific proportion of cash-out, we need to talk about this slowly......"
Allowing others to cash out?
Why not, it seems that although he has suffered a loss, he has also swept away some of the people who are not in harmony with him and do not stand with him, and he has only paid a part of the monetary price, of course, it is worth considering, and he has seen more examples of IT capital allowing the original team to cash out after capital injection, Chen Geng knows very well in his heart that this seemingly tempting condition is actually a poison wrapped in honey: you cash out, it means that you reduce your shares, which is a good thing for capital.
"Of course!" After receiving Chen Geng's promise, Stafford was immediately overjoyed: It is good to allow cash-out! It is good to allow cash-out! As for the proportion of cash-out...... Anyway, I'll already talk to you about my chance.
He was now impatient to know what Chen Geng's second question was.
"We all know what the problem of AMC is, in addition to the inability of the product to meet the needs of the market, AMC's current predicament is more caused by production efficiency, management methods, costs and quality control systems. Of course, it's also because you have raised a group of uncles who dare to argue with yourself...... The question now is, what does Washington mean by this workers' riot?"
Listening to Chen Geng's unabashed talk about the workers' trouble, Staff's face suddenly turned pale: "Mr. Fernandez......
"What can't be said about this, isn't it just that the claws of the Soviets have stretched out," Chen Gengman waved his hand indifferently: "In my opinion, it is precisely because the Soviets have put their claws into our homes that we should take this opportunity to upgrade the automation of our production line, and then let at least one-third of the fools get out!"
Staff's eyes suddenly went black!
As the current chairman of AMC, does Stav know that AMC's current workforce is too bloated?
Of course he does.
Why do you ask the entire management and even shareholders of AMC, knowing that there are too many workers, but they don't get rid of these guys who on their heads every day?
The reason is very simple, trade unions, not to mention that you are laying off workers in order to improve production efficiency, even if you get rid of workers who do not work seriously according to the regulations, the trade unions will organize workers to strike, and strike at every turn...... Then a vicious circle is formed.
But even at the worst of the company's situation, AMC's shareholders and the entire senior management did not dare to think of laying off a third of the workers, and if he dared to do so, he could not imagine how much the conflict between the company and the workers would intensify!
Completely subconscious, Stave hurriedly waved his hand: "No! Mr. Fernandez, you can't do this......"
"Why can't I do this?" asked Chen Geng rhetorically.
"Because they're going to strike......"
"Mr. Staff, I might as well make it clear to you that you and your bosses are afraid of these guys going on strike, I won't, since I took over AMC, AMC has only one attitude towards strikes: whoever strikes without a good reason, who gets out!"
