Chapter 1472: You Are the First Merit
Curtis Knutson's words touched Mark Simonich.
Yes, he knows that every industry has its own unique rules, and maybe private prisons have their own unspoken rules for working in factories outside? For example, prisoners in prisons work in factories and are paid what percentage of the industry they work for.
Mark Simonich thinks it's very possible, and as long as there is this rule, as long as the National Reeducation Group wants to eat in the industry, it is clear that they will also abide by this rule.
Thinking of this, Mark Simonich nodded and said, "Okay, I understand," after a brief pause, Mark Simonich said to Curtis Knutsson: "Mr. Knutsson, please rest assured, the Lear Group is a rule-abiding person, and we will definitely follow the rules." β
"That's for the best. β
Curtis Knutson smiled and nodded, while standing up and shaking hands with Mark Simonich.
After sending Curtis Knutson away, Mark Simonich immediately called his secretary Aitor and instructed him: "Ato, there is something you should do immediately. β
Aito nodded immediately: "Okay sir, tell me, what's the matter." β
Marc Simonich did not answer immediately, but asked Aitto, "You understand what I just talked to Mr. Knutsson, right?"
"I understand a little bit," said Aitto, honestly, "it is Mr. Knutsson who wants to work with us in the Lear Group and have them do our work for the prisoners, because they are prisoners, and we pay them less hourly wages than our workers." β
"We're not paying these prisoners, we're paying Mr. Knutsson's National Reeducation Group," Mark Simonich said seriously, "What I'm asking you to do now is to figure out what the rules of the industry are for similar cooperation in the private prison industry...... I'll give you three days. β
"Yes sir, I see. Now Aito really understands: what he has to do is to figure out what the unspoken rules of their industry are in the private prison industry, a trivial matter!
Aitor went out, and Mark Simonich groaned for a moment, deciding to report the matter to Chairman Mike Taylor.
After listening to Mark Simonich briefly introduce the basic model of this cooperation on the phone, Mike Taylor, the current chairman of the Lear Group, was shocked, and he couldn't help but say, "There is such a thing?"
β......β
Mark Simonich didn't speak, and he was actually quite shocked when he first heard Curtis Cnutson talk about it.
Mike Taylor went on to say, "Why didn't a private prison come to us to cooperate with before?"
"I've actually pondered this question, and I think there are several reasons," replied Mark Simonich, "First of all, we are a big company in the Lear Group, a Fortune 500 company, and what about those private prisons? Maybe there are only a few hundred or two or three thousand prisoners, and they are afraid of us, and they may not want to set foot on our door if they can work with those small companies." β
Mike Taylor pondered for a moment and felt that Mark SimoniΔ's analysis was so reasonable: Who are we? We are the world's top 500 companies! We are the world's auto parts giants, we are high, we are glamorous, we are full of golden light, how dare those small private prisons take the initiative to step on our door?
And since these small private prisons can cooperate with those small and medium-sized enterprises with low labor costs, they are naturally reluctant to set foot on the door of the Lear Group.
It's just that after knowing about this, Mike Taylor was a little annoyed: he knew that there was such a world in the United States, so why did the Lear Group move the factory out of the United States?
Annoyed to chagrin, Mike Taylor still asked, "What about the second reason?"
"The second reason is probably related to the fact that our Lear Group is a Fortune 500 company," said Mark Simonich.......
Because you are worried that you will not have the right to speak, you will not come to Lear to see and cooperate?
Thinking of this possibility, Mike Taylor couldn't help but be speechless, such as Lear, IBM, General Motors and other Fortune 500 companies, for cooperative enterprises, especially small and medium-sized partners, the attitude is actually quite bad, basically belongs to the "directly throw a contract in front of the other party, tell the other party: the contract is like this, love to sign, don't sign and roll!", allowing the other party to bargain is actually quite small.
And for the bosses of these private prisons, since they can do this line, they naturally have some energy, and they are no strangers to the domineering style of these large enterprises and large groups, since I need to cooperate with you like a third grandson, and if I cooperate with those small and medium-sized enterprises, I can be breezy and calm, and everyone has a relationship with the details of the contract, and even has the upper hand...... I'm not a masochist, so why don't I work with those small and medium-sized businesses?
And based on this, Mike Taylor even thought about why Chen Geng's people dared to come to him:
First of all, this prison belongs to Fernandez Chen, and as an OEM, Fernandez Chen has a natural advantage when talking about Lear, that is, he does not have to worry about being bullied by the Lear Group;
Secondly, the scale of this prison is large enough to provide enough cheap labor, and the same work may be taken over by three or five private prisons, but when it comes to Fernandez Chen, their family is enough, and there are even some leftovers!
Thinking of this, Mike Taylor couldn't help but sigh secretly: This is really ......
Sigh to sigh, if you can let your own factory near Detroit provide users with good accessories, this temptation is something that Mike Taylor can't resist no matter what. He quickly adjusted his mentality and said to Mark Simonich: "Mark, you are doing well, hmm...... This is very important to us at the Lear Group, and you and I are going to take care of it. β
Mark SimoniΔ thought to himself: It seems that Mr. Taylor is taking this matter more seriously than he thought!
He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, Mr. Taylor, I will definitely cooperate with you fully." β
Mike Taylor was worried about what Mark Simonich had in his heart, so he paused for a moment and said to Mark Simonich: "Mark, you have done a very good job in this matter, if this cooperation can be achieved, you will be the first credit!"
