Chapter 523: If You Have a Kind, Go On
The heads of the union, who felt that they had found a solution to the problem, were beaming with joy.
They are not worried at all about whether Chen Geng will return to work, in their opinion, they have already given up the idea of raising salaries, how can Fernandez Chen not return to work......? Well, Big George is right, for the sake of insurance, I still have to do more PR with the media and put a little more pressure on Fernandez, what if Fernández can't bear the pressure and is ready to talk to his side?
Is there a lot of pressure on Chen Geng?
Big!
In the eyes of the people, although the demands put forward by the trade unions were excessive at the beginning, after realizing that their conditions were not appropriate, did the trade unions not take the initiative to lower their conditions? This shows that the trade unions and the workers are still very sincere.
But what about Fernandez Chen?
This guy is simply an iron rooster with a dime a dime, and even if the union takes the initiative to reduce the pay increase to 20%, he is still so tough...... The capitalists really don't have a good thing!
The remarks against Chen Geng and AMC suddenly increased, and they turned on the TV, opened the newspaper, and turned on the radio...... Almost all of them can hear and see the criticism of Chen Geng, and those damn politicians are like vultures that smell carrion, using this incident to desperately brush up their popularity and favorability, in order to wait for the election to get themselves two more votes......
AMC is under a lot of pressure!
........................
Under this tremendous pressure, Jack Welch, the chairman and CEO of AMC Motors, finally became a little overwhelmed......
"Boss, I've got some reliable information from the union. In a phone call to Chen Geng, after reporting to Chen Geng about the pressure he had been under during this time, Jack Welch revealed a piece of news.
"Oh, what's the news?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: there is AMC's eyeliner in the union, which is too normal, but what kind of news can scare Jack Welch and even panic a little?
"The bottom line on the union's side is that if you don't bow your head after a month, they will announce that they will end the strike on their own initiative for the sake of the workers. ”
"They will end the strike when they want to end the strike, and when they want to start the strike?" Chen Geng laughed, and when he finished laughing, he pouted disdainfully: "Did I agree with them to come back to work?"
“......”
Jack Welch was a little confused: What does the boss mean by that?
In the history of strikes in the United States after World War II, there has never been a strike that ended with the submission of workers and unions, and any strike ended with the capitalists not being able to bear the huge losses brought about by the strike and taking the lead in giving in to the workers and unions. It can be called a great victory, and it will be admired and envied by all the capitalists in the United States, but how can you listen to the meaning of the boss's words, he is actually not satisfied with such a result?
"Jack, I said before that they can choose when the war starts, but after the war starts, it's not up to them to decide when the war will end," Chen Geng's tone was very gentle, as if they were greeting each other with friends, rather than saying a very cold thing: "Maybe you took my words as a joke at the time, but let me tell you, I mean it, they think they can easily return to work after causing me such a big loss?"
Are you kidding!
Trade unions must be reformed!
George Walker and his henchmen must fuck me off!
The unions must be our final say!
If we can't achieve such an outcome, won't Lao Tzu's loss be in vain this time? I don't want to have such a bomb around me that can't tell when it will explode. ”
“......”
Jack Welch didn't know what to say anymore, and his heart was completely filled with shock: what he said before was true?
Yes, Jack Welch had heard Chen Geng say this several times before, but Jack Welch had always thought that Chen Geng was actually preparing to put pressure on the trade unions and workers in this way to make them submit, and what kind of joke were they making when they dissolved the trade unions and re-elected them! From the establishment of the trade union system to the present, it is good to be able to have his own eyes within the trade union and to inform the management of some trade union decisions and inside information, even if it is good, but when has such a ridiculous situation occurred? But ......
After a moment of silence, Jack Welch finally spoke: "Although I am not optimistic about your decision, it ...... Okay, you're the boss, what are we going to do next? Now public opinion is completely out of our side, not only are Democratic politicians criticizing us, but Republican politicians are also starting to get dissatisfied, and our stock price has fallen very sharply. ”
"The stock matter is simple," Chen Geng casually ordered: "You can go back and make an official statement, or hold a press conference, just say that I am considering re-privatizing AMC, and if it is privatized, I will buy back all the outstanding shares in the market at the stock price of a month ago." ”
Buying back the outstanding shares at the stock price before the workers' strike, and considering Chen Geng's ability to pay, it is estimated that those who have already sold the shares before will not be able to cry. Jack Welch nodded immediately, and then asked, "Okay, what about the workers?"
"...... on the workers' side"
Knowing what Jack Welch meant by this question, Chen Geng thought about it, and since it was an official statement, let's send it together: "On the workers' side, let's just say that in view of the current serious labor conflicts, the company is already considering the possibility of hiring new workers...... Doesn't the relevant labor law say that hired temporary workers can be converted into regular workers after three months of work, and workers must be encouraged to persist in striking for three months. ”
“......”
Jack Welch didn't know what to say: when it came to such a thing as a workers' strike, other capitalists were trembling, and the workers would be like cutting meat from them for an extra day, but his own boss was good, he wished that the workers could strike for three months!
The boss has made it clear that he wants to fight the striking workers and the union to the end.
Although I regretted getting on Chen Geng's thief ship, it was too late to say anything now...... That's it!
Looking at Chen Geng's strength of "fighting with the sky, the fun is endless, fighting with the earth, the fun is endless, fighting with people, the fun is endless", Jack Welch suddenly became a little excited in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to see if the union that has always been strong will be re-elected by his own boss with money this time...... I'm looking forward to it.
........................
AMC Motors, which is on the cusp of the storm, has held a press conference!
At the press conference, their chairman and CEO, Jack Welch, stuck to his previous toughness, as always.
None of this came as a surprise to the media, but what really surprised them was Fernandez Chen's deep pockets: he went so far as to say that if the stock price continued to fall, he would buy back shares at the same price he had before the strike.
It's very strange that when AMC's statement was made, AMC's stock price actually stopped falling and began to rebound slightly - who let everyone know that Chen Geng is really rich, if he really plans to buy back AMC's shares, it is really not a problem, in this case, then you might as well see how the situation develops.
If you put it aside, the news would have been enough for a week, but it was nothing compared to the second thing they announced: Fernandez Chen was going to fight the union, with the workers, and they were ready to hire temporary workers.
As soon as this news came out, the whole of the United States and even the whole of Europe was a sensation!
No one expected Chen Geng to be so tough on this matter, even if the attitude of the trade union has softened to such an extent, only asking for a little increase in the salary that is almost equivalent to preserving the face of the trade union, he still refuses to give in half a cent, for which he is even willing to take a huge amount of worker training costs.
After watching the news on TV and in the newspapers, not to mention the reaction of the heads of the trade unions, the striking workers were frightened anyway, and after realizing that Chen Geng would rather hire new people than give them a wage increase, and that he would not do what the union wanted, and that he was likely to lose his job, the striking workers finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and they began to be anxious, and at this moment, they finally remembered the benefits of Chen Geng......
"I heard that Mr. Fernández made hundreds of millions of dollars last month, and now it seems that the loss caused to him by our strike is actually nothing ...... to him."
"Who's to say no, in fact, Mr. Fernández is very good to us, who has ever seen a boss who took the initiative to give our workers a raise? Mr. Fernández is the first ......"
"Yes, among the four major automakers, although our wages and benefits are not the highest and best, they are definitely not bad......"
"For this strike, in fact, I didn't agree with it at first, I think Mr. Fernández is a good boss, and our salary is really not low......"
"I can't say that, the union is actually thinking about us......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "What, those bastards in the union are not trying to collect a little more dues from us?"
After a moment of silence, someone suddenly said, "I have to pay the property tax next month......
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Property tax is due next month, but the bank has just lowered the credit limit for its own people.
