Chapter 1470 - Social Responsibility (The New Book "Modern Craftsman" Begins to Be Uploaded, Asking for the Support of Brothers)
Mark Simoncini, president of the Lear Group, was a little surprised by Curtis Knutsson's request for a visit, and he looked at the business card in his hand, well, this guy's name is Vice President of National Reeducation Group and CEO of First Prison.
After looking at the business card repeatedly, Mark Simonich looked up to his secretary and asked, "Aito, is there anything special about this Knutson?"
Mark Simonich believed that if it weren't for something special about Curtis Knutson, his secretary would never have let himself decide whether to meet this guy or not.
"Yes, boss," the secretary replied respectfully, "this National Re-education Group, where Mr. Curtis Cnutson works, is the same prison that Mr. FernΓ‘ndez Chan invested in before. β
I see!
Mark Simonich instantly understood in his heart why his secretary did not directly refuse Curtis Cnutson's visit, but had to let himself make the decision himself, it turned out that this Curtis Cnutson was Fernandez Chen's subordinate, which is no wonder.
"You've done a great job," Marc SimoniΔ said in response to the secretary's cautious mention: "Hmm...... Did this Curtis Knutson say what he meant?"
"Yes, he said," the secretary hurriedly reported: "Mr. Knutson said that he thinks that they can have in-depth cooperation with Lear Group because they have a large number of robust labor in their hands, and many of Lear Group's businesses are not such as seat manufacturing and foam manufacturing, and they are more sensitive to labor costs, and they are not as good as the National Reeducation Group can provide a large number of cheap labor,"
Aitto paused and added, "Mr. Knutsson said that the price of these labors is very cheap!"
Is that the case?
Mark Simonich's eyes lit up suddenly, and the next moment, he was a little annoyed: yes, why didn't I think of those criminals in prison?
Lear Group is a Fortune 500 enterprise group, with its own production bases on all continents around the world, but in recent years, with the rising labor costs in developed countries, Lear Group has also begun to gradually transfer its production bases to third world countries.
But shifting production to third world countries also has a fatal problem for companies in the auto parts industry like Lear, and that is transportation.
For example, after a seat is produced in a certain country in Asia, it has to be shipped to a factory of Ford or Chrysler, or General Motors, or AMC, and the transportation costs and customs duties are ...... That's a lot of money, but what if you produce it locally?
Even in the vicinity of Detroit, not only is there no tariff, the transportation cost is infinitely close to zero, and the only requirement is to control the labor cost, and the labor cost of the prison is ......
Hehe......
Mark Simonich doesn't think Curtis Cnutson is going to give his prison inmates for free, but the Lear Group uses the price of these prisoners, as long as it controls about 80% of the hourly wages of workers in the American auto parts industry, the Lear Group earns it, and by the way, for the Lear Group, the biggest advantage of using these prisoners is that there are no damn unions......
Thinking of this, Mark Simonich suddenly calmed down, and instructed the secretary: "Where is Mr. Knutsson now?"
"I put him in the reception room. β
The secretary replied cautiously, and in view of the fact that the other party was Chen Geng's employee, Aito felt that it was better to be polite to this guy: anyway, he didn't have to pay for the hospitality expenses out of his own pocket.
Mark Simonich said impatiently: "Take me quickly!"
........................
Curtis Knutson was leisurely sipping coffee in the Lear Group's reception room, when he heard a slightly hurried footsteps, and the corners of Curtis Knutson's mouth not only showed a smile: it came quite quickly.
As soon as Mark Simonich entered the door, he took the initiative to extend his hand, and at the same time walked quickly to Curtis Cnutson: "Hello, Mr. Cnutson, I'm Simonich. β
"Hello Dear Mr. Simonich, I'm Cnutson," Curtis Knutsson complimented with a just right smile on his face, "Your group's coffee is delicious, I like it very much." β
"Haha......"
Mark Simonich understood that Curtis Knutson was showing kindness to himself in this way, and immediately smiled even more happily, nodding his head: "Our Lear Group's coffee has always been a favorite of our customers, and it is also the pride of our group...... Well, it was our Director Charles who went to Jamaica to pick it out in order to get the best coffee from Lear's friends. β
"Yes, I tasted ......"
Everyone is a busy person, there is not so much time to go around in circles, after a few simple greetings between the two sides, Curtis Knutson took the initiative to explain his intention: "Mr. Simonich, I think you have understood the purpose of my visit, yes, I am here on behalf of the First Prison of the National Re-education Group, I think there is a huge possibility of cooperation between our two companies." β
"Oh?"
Mark Simonich nodded, motioning for Curtis Knutson to continue.
"The first prison of the National Reeducation Group will open soon, and at that time, the first prison of the United States will hold 25,000 inmates, who are strong and healthy, and whose needs for material conditions are far from comparable to those of ordinary workers, who are born to be the best labor force," Curtis Knutson changed the topic after introducing the advantages of his side to Mark Simonich, and said: " Of course, this is not the point, the point is that as a private prison, we have to think about the life of the prisoners after they are released from prison, and we hope that they can have a skill, and they can make a living in society after they are released from prison, relying on the skills they learned in prison, rather than going back to prison again with nothing.
So, with that in mind, we want to work with the Lear Group to focus on these people who have made mistakes and to do something so that they can do their own work when they return to society. β
Looking at Curtis Knutson, who was talking about this seriously, Aitto almost laughed out loud: this Mr. Curtis Knutsson can talk about the labor force that oppresses prisoners so high-soundingly, and it is really a kind of ability.
However, Aitto's boss Mark Simonich nodded in agreement, and at the same time asked curiously: "Can I ask, why us?"
"Because as far as I know, the Lear Group is a company with a high level of social responsibility. Curtis Knutson replied earnestly.
