Chen Geng was a little disappointed.

When Zhang Zongping said this, Chen Geng knew that it was impossible to find help from his compatriots in this matter, and he had been oppressed by white people for hundreds of years, so that Chinese in North America would always take a wise attitude of protecting themselves when they encountered similar things: The white uncle is not easy to mess with, and he can't afford to provoke, let's stay away.

"Cheng!" It's just that although he thinks so in his heart, Chen Geng will not tear Zhang Zongping's face because Zhang Zongping doesn't help him, he responds and says, "Since that's the case, I'll wait for your news." ”

Zhang Zongping breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of Chen Geng's support for himself and the Chamber of Commerce in the past few years, he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart: "Brother, this ...... It's not my brother, I won't help......"

"It's okay, I can understand," Chen Geng interrupted him, and said with a smile: "I can understand your difficulties, it's okay, I'll find another way." ”

Zhang Zongping's face turned even redder.

————————————

Labor negotiations began, but in less than ten minutes, the negotiator of the union vigorously pushed open the door of the conference room, and scolded as he walked out: "You will regret it, I swear, you will regret it, you will soon know the power in the hands of our union!"

Despite what they said, the faces of several union negotiators were very unsightly.

In their opinion, the damned management is too faceless, and they are the union negotiators who have terrified countless capitalists, look at those capitalists in the United States, whenever their peers come forward, which one of them does not treat these people as their ancestors? But these bastards of AMC owe no enthusiasm at all, and they have a stinky face as if their uncle owes them money.

What is even more excessive is that they refused to even consider the conditions put forward by the trade unions...... What the hell?!

For these trade union negotiators who have bullied AMC for decades, they have enough psychological advantages in the face of the management, and it is natural to think that the management should let them take what they want, at most the most, what the management can do is to cry and beg them to take a little less, which is considered to be the top of the sky, even if AMC changes the boss, they don't think that this situation will change, even if it changes, it is also a change in a better direction, isn't the yellow monkey better to bully? As for rejecting themselves without saving face?

"Sir, do you really refuse them like that, leaving them no room at all?" In the conference room, looking at a few union negotiators who pushed the door away, the negotiators on the AMC side asked Jack Welch tremblingly.

Jack Welch gave him a faint look: "This is what the boss meant, what? Do you have an opinion? Or are you going to pack up and get out of the house now?"

"I didn't ...... There is no ......"

The negotiator who questioned the question turned pale, shrunk his neck, and looked sneering.

If you offend the union, it may affect your income, but if you offend the boss, it is not a problem that affects your income.

Thinking of the boss's attitude of absolutely refusing to bow his head when he talked to him before, Jack Welch sighed secretly, he didn't know where his boss's confidence came from, but the boss was willing to lose money, what could he do? Send an official letter to the trade union, saying that the salary and benefits we give to workers are already the best in the industry, and at the same time, it is also the limit of the company's tolerance, and any direct or indirect increase in salary and benefits will not be considered by the company, and if they think they can't accept it, they will take more drastic action to show their attitude...... Then go and organize, no more repeated negotiations and see-saws. ”

“......”

The negotiators of more than a dozen management parties were simply stunned: What do you mean? How do you listen to the boss's words, it seems that the big boss wants the workers to strike? What does the boss think?

The negotiator who had just spoken turned pale and swallowed hard: "Sir......"

"Why? I didn't know enough?" said Jack Welch, angrily.

"Enough...... Clear enough......"

Unexpectedly, the boss was so angry, and several negotiators were frightened and hurriedly responded.

Jack Welch shook his hand and walked out of the door of the conference room quickly: You are surprised and depressed, do you know that when I heard these words from the boss, I was a thousand times more depressed and ten thousand times more surprised than you!

In Jack Welch's view, Chen Geng's approach is really worth the loss, although the conditions of the union are very excessive, but the conditions are all negotiated, the big deal is to talk to them slowly, but not directly with the union...... Yes, I admit that the union's demands are excessive, but it can't be like that......

This is Jack Welch's problem, he is accustomed to the thinking of American capital and to reaching an agreement with the union through compromise, and he does not understand Chen Geng's mentality of "what I give you is yours, and what I don't give you you can't be wanted!" Even if Lao Tzu loses with you, he will not let you succeed."

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

The guys in the union are not without brains, especially George Walker, who has been able to sit in the chair of the AMC auto workers' union for more than ten years, and he will definitely not work without two brushes, after being rejected by Jack Welch, he just sneered, and then ordered someone to go to the city hall...... The procedures that should be followed are still indispensable.

Looking at this sternly worded notification letter, Alex Goodrich was frightened, and he almost crawled to Chen Geng's manor, and then ......

He was dumbfounded.

Alex Goodrich thought that such a big thing had happened, Chen Geng should not say that he was panicked, at least he should be full of sadness, but what is Chen Geng doing at the moment? He is fishing by the lake! He is fishing leisurely!

There was a plate of dim sum on the table on the side, and a glass of orange juice next to him, and the two Chinese pastoral dogs who were dozing off at his feet heard the unfamiliar footsteps, and the two pastoral dogs opened their eyes and turned their heads, looking vigilantly at this guy who had been here several times.

"Come on, sit casually," looking at Alex Goodrich with an anxious face, Chen Geng nodded with a smile, and at the same time instructed the housekeeper who was waiting on the side: "Get a glass of orange juice for our mayor." ”

Alex Goodrich weakly said: "I want rum ......"

"Orange juice!"

Chen Gengcai is not used to Alex Goodrich's problems, if this guy is here today, it would be fine, but is this guy here today?

"Yes sir. The butler who served on the side knew very well who his boss was, and he could only give the poor mayor a sympathetic look.

Alex Goodrich was frightened by Chen Geng's momentum, paused for a moment, and nodded obediently: "Oh, then orange juice...... Orange juice is good ...... too."

The housekeeper went to get the orange juice, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Alex Goodrich hurriedly spoke: "Sir, the AMC Workers' Union has sent an official letter to the city hall, and they ask the city government to support their request for an increase in salary......"

"Alex, have you ever seen a new request that directly asks for a doubling of salary?"

"Uh...... This ......" Alex Goodrich was speechless: this request was indeed excessive.

"Have you ever seen a request for a salary increase of almost 50% and a salary increase of almost 50%?" Chen Geng asked again.

"This ...... This ......" Alex Goodrich had a faint sweat on his forehead.

"Have you ever seen so many salary and benefits increases, while also asking for a 10% reduction in working hours?" Chen Geng asked again.

“......”

Alex Goodrich doesn't know what to say anymore, but the union's demands are indeed excessive, where is this asking for a salary increase, this is simply extortion.

"The normal demand for a salary increase, this is understandable, I will give the workers a salary increase even without opening their mouths, in recent years, AMC Motors has increased the salary of workers three times, you don't say you don't know about this. ”

“......”

Of course, Alex Goodrich knew about the three times that AMC had given workers a raise, so he was once again speechless.

"I can't guarantee that I am the only boss who can take the initiative to increase the wages of workers, but I dare to guarantee that I am the only one in the United States who has taken the initiative to increase the wages of workers three times in half a year," Chen Geng took a sip of juice and said lightly: "Compared with the end of last year, their income has increased by almost 10%, and the price inflation in the United States has been 10%, right?"

But what do I get in exchange for thinking so much about the workers?

In exchange, the workers thought I was weak and deceitful.

In that case, there is nothing more to say, I will not give them a penny this time, and I will not increase my salary by a penny for the rest of the year. ”

"I understand your anger very much, really, I really understand," looking at Chen Geng's attitude on this matter, Alex Goodrich was also really anxious: "But it's not a good thing for you to go on like this, isn't it?

If you agree, I can speak to the union on behalf of the town hall, and everyone will give in, and those bastards are asking a little too much......"

"No need. ”

"No need?" Alex Goodrich was a little puzzled.

"Do you really think that the union's request for a salary increase this time is so simple?" Chen Geng raised his head and glanced at Alex Goodrich with caring eyes: "If the union asks for a salary increase of 5%, 10%, or even 20%, I can still believe that they really want a salary increase, but have you ever seen this kind of salary increase?"

I don't know exactly what made them offer such a new condition, but it doesn't matter, I just need to make sure they don't really want a raise, and that's enough. ”
