Bill Ford sighed and looked at Chen Geng with a sad brow: "Dude, you make me very embarrassed like this." ”

Chen Geng's expression remained unchanged: "Why did I embarrass you?"

"I heard you're going to make a workers' buffet lunch?" Bill Ford sighed incessantly, "I'll tell you, this matter has spread all over our Ford cars, you must not deny it......"

Chen Geng smiled and said, "When did I deny it?"

"Uh......"

Bill Ford was a little confused, he reacted at once, yes, that's right, Chen Geng really didn't deny it.

Poor Bill Ford, his face turned blue and white, and it took more than ten seconds to react, and sighed: "What do you say you are doing with this thing? Now the union is also putting pressure on us to provide us with lunch...... More than $13 million a year, how can you give it up?"

When the North American Automobile Workers Association asked Ford to follow the example of AMC and build such a workers' buffet lunchroom, Ford calculated the operating cost of such a restaurant at the first time, according to their calculations, to ensure that workers can be fed, the cost of raw materials needs to be at least 2.2 US dollars, and Ford Motor even if it is like AMC also allows workers to pay 0.99 US dollars, and the company still needs to subsidize 1.2 US dollars, according to this subsidy, and then counting the construction of the restaurant and the wages of the corresponding personnel in the restaurant, it means that Ford Motor will subsidize the restaurant 13 million US dollars every year.

$13 million, that's a lot of money!

"$13 million......" Chen Geng looked at Bill Ford in surprise, as if he wondered why he would ask such a naïve question: "Bill, is $13 million really a lot?

As he spoke, Chen Geng sneered in his heart.

$13 million seems like a lot, but compared with Ford, which sells more than 3 million cars a year and has annual sales of more than $45 billion, including other businesses such as finance and second-hand car replacement, and a behemoth with an annual revenue of more than $60 billion in the whole few days, it is really a little squeezing to squeeze out more than $13 million, or the kind that is gently squeezed, and there is no need to squeeze it hard at all, for example, if the reimbursement is a little stricter, it can definitely easily squeeze out $13 million in a year.

In fact, Chen Geng is going to do this, he found that in the past two years, AMC's full-time personnel, from the most basic office clerk to the presidents above, began to benefit themselves in various ways, such as for the business trip subsidy, the original standard is that middle-level cadres can only live in three-star hotels, and now although it is still three-star, but the housing level has been upgraded from the original standard room to the suite, only this one, AMC cars have more than 20 million US dollars a year because of the extra cost of the hotel, as for whether there are other problems...... Hehe......

Bill Ford's old face flushed.

He didn't know that he could squeeze out the money as long as he squeezed it a little, but who let Chen Geng do this, and subconsciously wanted to fight Chen Geng's autumn wind: Brother, you are happy to take care of yourself, do you see how much trouble you have caused us?

"This ...... Hehe......" Bill Ford said curtly: "Fernandez, you also know that Ford has been developing for decades, so ......"

What does this mean, it means that Ford Motor, which has been developed for decades, is seriously ill by large enterprises, and various internal relationships and interests are intertwined, even if it is the Ford family, although it has 40% of the voting rights thanks to the design of the two-tier equity, but only 8% of the equity, that is, in the major event of the company's development, everyone will give the Ford family face, but in terms of daily travel reimbursement...... You're going to a meeting to talk about it, Bill Ford?

Don't look at the Ford family, which has 40% of the voting rights, but in this kind of thing, he can't do anything about it.

Compared with Bill Ford, Chen Geng is much more comfortable, he owns more than 50% of the shares, he can toss as much as he wants, and other stakeholders can't do anything about Chen Geng, you are not convinced? Okay, open the board of directors, decide the result according to the proportion of shares, and then Chen Geng won.

"Big business disease is really a headache...... Chen Geng looked at Bill Ford sympathetically, from this point of view, this child is indeed quite pitiful.

"So you must help me this time," Bill Ford immediately climbed up the pole and looked at Chen Geng with blank eyes: "Fernandez, really, you really gave me a big problem this time." ”

Bill Ford's remarks were not nonsense, and the workers' buffet lunch that AMC Motor put on this time really made the shareholders and management of Ford Motor, Chrysler Motor and General Motors very uncomfortable.

The United States does not believe in doing good deeds without leaving a name, on the contrary, they firmly believe that if I do good deeds, the whole world should know, Chen Geng also did this, of course he will not let go of this opportunity to brush the favor of AMC cars, after the construction of this workers' cafeteria began, he immediately began to launch his own media group, the practice of AMC cars from multiple angles, such as how happy and supportive the workers are for this initiative, For example, in order to build this workers' buffet lunch hall, how much does AMC car have to subsidize it every year......

It's just that Chen Geng has made such a big publicity, and other industries are fine, but Ford, Chrysler and General Motors in the same industry can't sit still, and the red-eyed workers who are envious of AMC Motors' initiative have also begun to make a fuss.

As for the unions, huh...... How could the trade unions have let go of such a good opportunity? They have put pressure on the management on this matter many times, and there is only one reason: AMC Motors can run a restaurant for workers, why can't you do it?

Therefore, the pressure on Ford's management is really great, so don't look at Bill Ford is now only the chairman of Ford's strategy executive committee, and the chairman is Alex Trotman, but after thinking about it, the shareholders of Ford decided to let Bill Ford, who has a good relationship with Chen Geng, negotiate with Chen Geng.

“...... Okay," Chen Geng frowned and thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "I have a way." ”

"Really?" said Bill Ford.

"Of course it's true," Chen Geng nodded, "but you have to do me a favor." ”

"What's the matter, you say!" Bill Ford said immediately, "as long as you don't let the company pay, it's okay to say anything else." ”

"What do you want?" Chen Geng glared at Bill Ford angrily: "But it can be a little less, such a big Ford, can it always cost three to five million dollars a year?"

"Three or five million dollars?" Bill Ford immediately nodded, "That's fine...... Dude, what the hell is the solution, you should hurry up......"

"I'll tell you later, you have to say hello to your media platform and cooperate with me to promote two things......"

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

The current president of the AMC Auto Workers Association, Michelle M. W. April has publicly expressed his support for the state to legislate the regulation of trade unions in all walks of life in the form of law, and said that if he can be elected as the next president of the union, he will push for it.

As soon as the news came out, the whole United States was in a sensation!

Prior to this, there was no trade union that supported Chen Geng's approach. W. April became the first incumbent union president to publicly support the practice, and the AMC Auto Workers Association became the first workers' association to publicly support the practice.

Driven by an invisible hand, a number of media outlets began to report on this incident one after another, especially Michelle M. W. April's sentence "The trade union is an organization for the welfare of workers, and we must trust the workers' brothers" spread all over the world under the impetus of well-intentioned people. W. Apple's popularity has skyrocketed across the United States, and there has been another wave of resignations from people from all walks of life—Mr. April is right when he says that unions are organizations that benefit us, and that we need to trust us right, not find ways to suck blood out of us.

At the same time, Mr. Alex Trotman, the current chairman of Ford Motor, also publicly stated in an interview with the media that Ford Motor will learn from AMC cars and build a workers' buffet lunch hall in the company.

As soon as Alex Trotman's words came out, the reporters at the scene were immediately excited......

"Mr. Trotman, are you telling the truth? Is Ford really going to learn from AMC and build a cafeteria for workers?"

"Mr. Trotman, is the Ford Motor's workers' cafeteria also $0.99 per person?"

"Will Ford's workers' cafeteria also allow workers to bring their children under the age of 12 on weekends and provide free lunch and care?"

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

Countless questions hit Alex Trotman.

No wonder the reporters are so excited, in fact, during this time, the workers' cafeteria run by AMC has become a hot topic of media coverage, and 0.99 dollars can be fed well, before that, no one dared to think that there would be such a good thing, not even the reporters who are recognized as white-collar workers did not think that anyone would be able to do this for the workers - the reporters also need to solve their own lunch, and no newspaper, radio or television station provides them with a nearly free buffet.

Chen Geng, who vigorously promoted this workers' cafeteria, was even praised by some media as "the Holy Son, and Michelle J. W. April is also known as the greatest union president, and for a time Michelle Aph. W. April's reputation in the United States has been greatly affected, and countless workers have said in interviews with the media that if Michelle If only W. April was the president of our union, I would have given him my full support......

And now, after the AMC car, is Ford going to do the same?
