Chapter 522: Embolden Yourself
Chen Geng disappointed Antonio Pérez Martinez, no matter how clever he was, Chen Geng only made Comrade Governor feel uncomfortable like a cat scratching with just one move of Tai Chi pushing.
And Chen Geng's next inspection trip made Comrade Governor even more worried: when Mr. Fernández finished the states of San Luis Potosi, Nuevo León, Aguascalientes and Harisque, what happened to Puebla and himself?
For a time, the officials of Puebla were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
But it was not the officials of Puebla headed by Antonio Pérez Martínez who really looked like ants on a hot pot, but the heads of the AMC auto workers' union headed by George Walker......
"Vako!
"This bastard, he is asking for a union reshuffle? Who does he think he is?!"
"When did a capitalist dare to meddle in the affairs of the handicraft union?"
"Strike!
“……”
The huge conference room was full of insults and denunciations against Chen Geng, only George Walker, who was sitting at the front, although his face was blue and he looked very angry, but the slightly trembling hands under the table betrayed his mood at this moment: he was afraid.
Yes, in the face of Chen Geng's toughness, George Walker was really a little scared.
According to his original guess, in the face of his own conditions, Fernández Chen would definitely get off the donkey and end the strike in a "hello and good" way, but even if he broke his head, George Walker didn't expect that Chen Geng would be crazy to such an extent: if he didn't change the union, he wouldn't return to work?!
Lose your marbles!
It's really insane!
Don't you know how much money you'll lose if you stop working for a day?
But looking at the latest sales report of thinkcenter in the Chicago News in front of him, he felt helpless again: Fernandez Chen is using this way to show himself his attitude.
Yes, even if the IBM5150 has been listed, the IBM5150 has not had a great impact on the sales of thinkcenter as expected by many experts, except for the first half of the first half of the IBM5150 market, which has caused some impact on the sales of thinkcenter, when the market finds that thinkcenter has a strong impact on stability, compatibility, reliability, After the all-round dimensions such as convenience and aesthetics surpassed IBM5150, the sales of ThinkCenter rose again, although it could not be compared with the first month of its launch, but it also reached a monthly sales of 246,000 units, which is simply crazy to break through the sky!
And thinkcenter, which continues to sell well, is the capital that Chen Geng dares to work against the AMC Automobile Workers Union.
When George Walker raised his head, the more he listened to the denunciation and abuse in his ears, the more he listened, the more he felt that the owner of the voice was weak?
"Boss, Boss......"
The familiar shout in his ear finally brought George Walker back to his senses, and he looked up in the direction of the voice: "Huh?"
"Chief, it's time to decide," said Vice President Michelle Brown. April's face was anxious: "Will our strike continue?"
Is the strike going on?
George Walker's gaze begins with that of Michelle Walker. As he swept across his face, and then over the faces of his men, who seemed angry but were in fact the seventh most inadequate, he was actually confused: strike...... Do you want to go ahead?
Of course!
After a short period of hesitation and cringe, George Walker quickly made up his mind: "Of course, of course we will continue to strike, we will not only strike, but we will carry out the strike to the end!"
George Walker's statement made Michelle Walker April and the rest of the heads were all happy: the leaders didn't coax, and this was the best.
To tell the truth, they were really worried that George Walker would be too scared by Fernandez Chan to go on strike, and if the unions couldn't organize workers to strike, what was the point of the unions' existence?
Michelle M. April was also relieved, but he immediately asked a new question: "Great, but the boss, the money in our hands is only enough to subsidize the workers for two months......"
The implication is that if Chen Geng is not delivered after two months, the union will not have the money to subsidize the workers to continue the strike, and the Americans have no habit of saving money, everyone is "negative" one by one, and there will be no union subsidies and no wages, and the only result waiting for them is bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy means that your house and car will be repossessed by the bank, and if you don't have a house or car, you can get annual medical insurance and pension insurance. Tuition fees for children, annual property taxes...... Wait, but nothing is missing, what do you do?
What the?
You said you could go and get a job?
But in this era of inflation of 13.5% and unemployment of 7.6%, is it so easy to find a job?
Not to mention tens of thousands of people going out at the same time to find work.
When the time comes, let alone a job that pays $1,284 a month, it will be God blessing to be able to find a job that pays $950 a month.
Therefore, if Fernandez Chen refuses to return to work after two months, those workers who want to keep themselves out of business and bankruptcy will not hesitate to listen to Fernandez Chen's words and agree to reorganize the union with almost 100% of the votes.
In other words, when our funds can only subsidize workers for two months, how can we force Fernandez Chen to submit in two months?
Yes, how can you guarantee that Fernandez Chan will bow his head first within two months? and ......
How do you keep your position as president of the AMC Auto Workers Union?
George Walker's brain was pumping at high speed.
Facts have proved that George Walker's more than ten years as the chairman of the union is not in vain, in the past ten years, he has a wealth of experience in fighting eagles with the management side, and soon, he sorted out the clues......
"Actually, I think we won very quickly. George Walker smiled and said.
Well?!
We won very quickly? What do you say?
I've been listening to George Walker and Michelle Walker with my ears pricked up. The union leaders of April's conversation suddenly became curious.
"First of all, let me tell you about it," George Walker said, holding up the Chicago News in his hand, "gentlemen, I'm sure you've all read the newspaper and know that just this past month, Fernandez Chen's thinkcenter sold 246,000 units, and the esteemed Mr. Fernandez made hundreds of millions of dollars...... I'm sure you're all frightened by the news, right? Because you're well aware that this means that if the strike goes ahead, Fernandez has a steady supply of ammunition and we don't have any supplies, which is just too bad......
But I see you the opposite!"
He raised his voice suddenly: "Why do you say that? In the future, you all think that Fernandez Chen is using this way to put pressure on us, but in my opinion, this actually shows that Fernandez Chen is under tremendous psychological and economic pressure at the moment, and he hopes to use this way to force us to mess up first...... Don't forget, AMC Auto is a listed company, he needs to be responsible to shareholders and investors, he can't let AMC's stock price keep falling. ”
That's right!
Although there are very serious logical loopholes in George Walker's words, we can't expect a group of union leaders who only know about the strike to know too much about economics and business management, and they instinctively feel that George Walker's specious analysis is very reasonable, and their eyes light up one by one: Big George is right, Fernandez Chen is responsible for shareholders and investors, and he can't let AMC's stock price keep falling.
While thinking so, they all selectively forgot Chen Geng's shareholding in AMC, and what Chen Geng had said before that he would consider re-privatizing AMC, in their opinion, it was simply impossible: how much money would be needed to re-privatize AMC? !
For a moment, their expressions relaxed a lot.
"Also, let's not forget, the media and public opinion are on our side, do you think Fernandez can survive two months under the pressure of unprecedented public opinion?
That's simply not possible!
So, now it seems that we are playing a revolver Russian roulette with Fernandes, but in fact, the person who is more afraid is actually Fernandes," George Walker, who had to cheer up his men, noticed that more and more eyes began to look at his side, and quietly raised his voice: "And, brothers, don't forget, we still have the biggest killer weapon in our hands!"
Well?
We still have a big killer in our hands?
What big killer?
How did I not know?
George Walker's words have left many people confused.
Under the gaze of everyone's astonished eyes, George Walker said slowly: "We can announce that for the sake of the workers' lives, we will end this strike without a wage increase, and we will give up the wage increase! What will Fernandez do then? What can he do?"
That's right!
During this time, the leaders of the trade union, who had been thinking about "strike, strike!" all of a sudden, reacted suddenly, and instantly looked ecstatic: It really forced us to be anxious, we can announce that we can end the strike without a salary increase.
