Chapter 324: The Last Straw That Broke the Camel's Burden

Chen Geng still underestimated the benefits that his "hummer" could bring to himself by becoming the first vehicle to pass the all-factor test of the HMMV project team of the Ministry of National Defense, and the first to bear the brunt was the Dongying banking industry.

After knowing that Chen Geng's company took the lead in passing the test of the US Department of Defense's HMMV project team and that Fernandez would have more than eighty percent chance of becoming the manufacturer and supplier of a new generation of military vehicles for the US military, Dongying Mitsui Bank, which had been nervous and unwilling to let go, finally couldn't hold back and took the lead in signing a long-term low-interest loan agreement with Fernandez;

Immediately after the banking industry is the industrial industry.

Some people will wonder, isn't this time the time for the Dongying industry to sit on the ground and raise prices?

In fact, on the contrary, after learning that the prototype of Fernandez called "hummer" was the first to pass the test of the US Department of Defense's HMMV project team, in order to be able to quickly finalize the contract with Rosemary, they even lowered the price by three percentage points on the basis of the original price, and even agreed to Rosemary's plan to adjust the payment method and payment cycle.

It's not that they're stupid, it's that these Dongying industrialists know very well in their hearts that orders from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps will exceed 80,000 vehicles, plus the current noisy National Guard, which means that for Fernandez, even if there is no cooperation project with Huaxia, they can still live incomparably nourishing by relying on the HMMV project.

But it's not that no one wants to strangle Chen Geng, such as AMC......

AMC General Manager Tim Sloan's expression was ugly, similar to that of his dead mother: "Sir, just now the bank called and threatened that if we don't redeem the equity of JEEP, they will ......sell Jeep as agreed."

"Huh...... Tell those damn bastards that AMC doesn't have any money right now!Not a penny!" Before Tim Sloan could finish speaking, Chairman Stafford laughed miserably: "If they can sell JEEP, then sell it......"

Before he could finish speaking, Berkshire pushed the door in a panic: "Sir, it's not good, the workers are making trouble...... Uh, Mr. Timsloan, you're there too?"

"What's going on with the workers?" Timsloan nodded, and without Berkshire, he knew that there was a commotion outside, and if you listened carefully, it wasn't something that dozens of people could do.

"What else is going on, there is no work trouble," Berkshire said with a wry smile, spreading his hands, "Now the workers are demanding that the factory be opened and that the previous two months' wages be paid back." ”

Yes, when it comes to who the "hummer" has the greatest impact on, there is no doubt that it is AMC!

One of the four major American auto giants, the only company to name itself after the United States, is now miserable, the production line is operating at less than 20%, and the implementation of a four-hour, four-day-a-week work model, but even so, AMC's cars are all backlogged in their own parking lots, and they can't be sold at all...... Last month, AMC sold just under 4,000 vehicles.

Originally, AMC had high hopes for this HMMV selection, as long as AM General can get the HMMV order from the Ministry of Defense, AMC in the next few years can finally take a breath, but the plan is never as fast as the change, AM General has not even built a prototype, damn Fernandez has already won the second batch of contracts for a total of 12 test prototypes?!

The market is sensitive, AMC's share price has fallen in response, and now it has even fallen below the issue price, and to make matters worse, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and now the workers are making a fuss again.

Tim Sloan and Stave sighed unusually neatly: as the general manager and chairman of AMC, he has an unshirkable responsibility at this time and must stand up, but the problem is that the company has no money, how can the workers' demands be met?

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

No matter how much they had a headache, Tim Sloan and Stave stood in front of the workers.

Standing in front of the thousands of workers, Staff's heart was really a little empty, and he tried to put on a smiling face: "Gentlemen, your requirements are already known to the Board of Directors, please believe that the difficulties are only temporary, and the Board of Directors is now doing its best to solve the current problems......"

Before Stave could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone standing there: "Mr. Staff, we know a little about the company's business problems, but these are things that you big people need to think about, and we little people only care about when we can go to work and get our salary." Our request is simple, the company is required to immediately resume the 40-hour work week!"

As soon as this guy's voice fell, the uniform slogan sounded like this:

"We're going to work!"

"We want a salary!"

"We're going to work!"

"We want a salary!"

"We're going to ......"

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

Stave knew this guy, was so familiar with this guy that he often dreamed of him, and as the head of the labor union of AMC Corporation, he had to pay a considerable part of the responsibility for the predicament that AMC was now facing.

Why?

Because with his efforts, the average hourly wage of AMC workers is the highest in the American manufacturing industry, and all kinds of miscellaneous benefits and subsidies are also the highest in the American manufacturing industry, as a union leader, this bastard is qualified, but at the same time, this also brings a big trouble to AMC: labor costs are also the highest in the American manufacturing industry.

The reason why AMC has fallen to this point today is due to the bastards of the union!

If it weren't for the union's desperate efforts to ask for money from the company for the sake of the workers, and the threat of a strike if it didn't pay money, AMC's vehicle manufacturing cost would not be much higher than that of GM, Ford, and Chrysler;

Because the manufacturing cost of the whole vehicle is much higher than the industry average, the average profit level of AMC is directly lower than the industry level;

Because of the low average profit, AMC is quite limited in its ability to invest in R&D, production line transformation and upgrading;

Because of the failure to develop new technologies, new products and new processes, and the backwardness of production technology and technology, the market competitiveness of AMC's products is getting worse and worse, and the competitiveness is poor, resulting in AMC's cars not selling well in the market;

The product does not sell well, and the workers continue to make demands, which forms a vicious circle......

Frankly speaking, if someone gave him a gun now and told him that he could kill someone without breaking the law, Stafford would really kill the bastard in front of him without hesitation, but now, he could only try to put a smile on his face: "Goldstein, you should know that the company is in trouble right now, please believe that the board of directors is doing its best to find a way to ......"

"That's your business," Goldstein interrupted, and said in a tough voice, "We just have to work!"

"We're going to work!"

"We want a salary!"

"We're going to ......"

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

Not again!

As if the magic sound was pouring into the ears, coupled with the pressure was already great, and the company couldn't see any signs of improvement at all, looking at this group of unreasonable bastards who only thought about themselves, listening to the unscrupulous ridicule, insults and threats in their ears, all of a sudden, Stafford completely lost his patience: go to the special mother, anyway, the company is like this, what do you like......

"Enough!"

Stave yelled.

“......”

Looking at Staff, who suddenly looked violent, not only Goldstein in front of him was stunned, but also other workers and union members were confused: what is the situation......

"The company's situation is like this, there is no money, and there is no way to get a loan from the bank," Staff, who was really fed up, simply broke the jar and broke it, pointed to Goldstein's nose and said unscrupulously: "So, you can do whatever you like, strike, march, protest, whatever you want! Lao Tzu is fed up, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu is not this bullshit chairman!"

After saying that, without waiting for the reaction of Goldstein and the workers, he threw his sleeves away: now, immediately, immediately, and go back to write his resignation report, and it is not interesting to be in front of the chairman of such a company, which has no hope of improving at all.

As for what to do after resigning from AMC, Stave hadn't thought about it yet, but anyway, it was a hundred times better than being this damn gas bag at AMC.

Stav was gone, and the eyes of the remaining workers fell on Timsloan and Berkshire.

Goldstein, who didn't expect the situation to develop like this, tried to squeeze out a smile at Timsloan: "Mr. Timsloan......"

"I'm sorry, I'm just a general manager," Tim Sloan interrupted Goldstein before he could finish speaking, "I'm only in charge of the business, and I'm not in charge of these issues." ”

He refused to accompany him.

Truth be told, he's fed up with these damned, insatiable unions!

The chairman and the general manager are gone, and they have never encountered such a situation, and they are accustomed to the past, as soon as they organize themselves to march and protest, the company's management will instantly become quail, and the rest of the workers have become stupid X, looking at each other with a bewildered expression: Next, what should we do?

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

What is Chen Geng doing at this time?

He was attending the opening ceremony of Fernandez's Computer City in San Francisco.

After several months of intense preparations and negotiations with a number of computer manufacturers, Fernandez's computer hypermarket finally opened......

At this moment, Millen, who was attending the opening ceremony with Chen Geng, handed Chen Geng a newspaper, looking at the headline on the newspaper, Chen Geng's eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out a rough sentence: "Hold the grass!"
