Chapter 380: They Shot
Somewhere in Ohio, USA, Deep Space Technologies U.S. Electronics Industrial Park.
Three years ago, it used to be the factory area of a well-known international company, but as the company's profits dwindled and its business contracted, the factory here announced its closure.
After being allowed to enter the North American market, Deep Space Technology took over the old factory area here, carried out a comprehensive upgrade, and became today's Deep Space Technology North American Electronics Industrial Park.
According to Meng Xiaobai's plan, more than 70 percent of the products sold to the North American market in the future will come from here.
As for why not build factories in regions where labor is cheaper, it is because this is a quid pro quo between Deep Space Technology's entry into the North American market and local authorities.
So far, the park has hired nearly 30,000 people, most of whom are native Americans.
During this time, the entire Deep Space Tech Ohio Electronics Industrial Park was busy, and after months of modification, commissioning, and adaptation, they were about to start producing their first products.
And things didn't go well.
The day after Meng Xiaobai's negotiations with the capital giants of the roundtable broke down, Meng Xiaobai was reported by the Ohio Electronic Industrial Park, and their production plan may be postponed, and the specific date cannot be determined.
"The main products for the North American market will come from this industrial park, and if we can't produce them regularly, we won't be able to sell them. Every day that this industrial park is delayed, our investment in the North American market will increase by one million dollars, and if it drags on for a few months or even half a year, our layout will be completely dragged down!" Pan Yu emphasized.
"Lao Ke, what is the specific situation?" Meng Xiaobai video connected to Ke Yang, head of the US headquarters of Deep Space Technology.
Ke Yang previously worked as an executive at Google for decades before joining Nebulas Technology Co., Ltd., where he was responsible for the development of the Nebulas mobile operating system. After the establishment of the U.S. headquarters of Deep Space Technology, after careful consideration, Meng Xiaobai sent Ke Yang to serve as the current head in charge.
Because he knows the country's system best, and at the same time is the world's top elite in terms of technology and business management.
"The situation is very serious!" Ke Yang used the adjective "serious", "Someone reported to the local labor relations committee that we have some employment problems." Just today, both the Industrial Relations Board and the local workers' union sent representatives to investigate. ”
"What's the real situation?" Meng Xiaobai asked.
"According to the company's requirements, we are in line with local policies in the construction and management of the factory. But if someone is looking for trouble, it's hard to say that they can't find the problem. Ke Yang replied truthfully.
The so-called desire to add sin, there is no excuse for the trouble, this is the truth.
Meng Xiaobai knew very well in his heart that those people had made a move. Their energy is really strong, and as soon as they make a move, they will stop production in the American industrial park of Deep Space Technology!
For this project, Deep Space Technology has invested nearly 10 billion, and it is also related to the question of whether the product can be sold as scheduled, so he must solve it in the fastest time.
"What do you think?" Meng Xiaobai asked without knowing the specific situation.
"I've reached out to a state legislator who is willing to help us with some legal issues," Ke Yang said. The most important issue now is the involvement of the workers' unions!"
"Now the Industrial Relations Board is asking us to deal with the workers' issues, and some of the workers are inciting the public to form their own workers' unions in our industrial parks. ”
"Once they are formed, according to local law, if there is a problem with the workers, our management cannot go directly to the workers, but have to submit the problem to the union, and let the union manage the workers. But the trade unions themselves are set up by the workers themselves, and the management power is in the hands of the trade unions. ”
"In other words, if it is not handled properly, our factory will actually fall into the hands of the union?" Meng Xiaobai tried to understand.
"yes, that's pretty much what it means. Ke Yang nodded.
"These people, there are so many routines!" Pan Yu sighed, "It's so insidious!"
The market environment in the United States is completely different from that of China, and different rules also bring different ways of doing business. If you use the rules skillfully, you can completely eliminate the opponent invisibly.
In their history, there have been many cases of using rules to annex large multinational corporations, and all kinds of annexation cases are bloody lessons.
After some exchanges, Meng Xiaobai understood in more detail. Now, Herbert, a member of the local Industrial Relations Board and a local state councillor, is investigating the matter and is pushing for workers to form unions to manage themselves.
Jerome, the local trade union representative, had already begun to mobilize and mobilize among the workers, and even began to prepare for a strike to demand the establishment of a workers' union.
At the request of the Labor Relations Committee, they must hold a union formation vote in half a month, and once the votes exceed 50 percent, local American workers have the right to establish unions for self-management.
At that time, half of the management of the industrial park fell into the hands of the union, which would cause unbearable losses to the American industrial park of deep space technology!
"We must not let their calculations come true!" Meng Xiaobai was originally going to the US headquarters of Deep Space Technology in California, but when this happened, he immediately changed his destination and went to Ohio.
……
Ohio, Deep Space Science and Technology Electronics Industrial Park.
In the conference room, Meng Xiaobai had just finished listening to the management's report. In this industrial park, there are some Americans in the management, which makes it more convenient for them to manage and operate.
"Andrew, tell me what you think. Meng Xiaobai asked the director of the industrial park, a white man born in New York State, who is a professional professional manager.
Andrew nodded and said, "According to my many years of experience in managing American companies, especially factories, if the union is successfully established, the efficiency of the factory will be greatly reduced. It is undeniable that trade unions were established to protect workers' rights and interests. ”
"But it often turns into a rotten puddle of mud, and the way we treat workers in Ohio is pretty good. I dare say out of here, they can't find such a good job offer anywhere in this state. ”
"But they are not satisfied, demanding higher wages and shorter working hours, demanding more health insurance, transportation costs...... Especially now that there are many people in the union who are not good for our business, this will become a bottomless pit and drag down our factories. ”
For this, the management present unanimously agreed. Deep Space Technology's treatment of employees is already very generous, the highest local hourly wage, the best welfare, because of the high degree of automation, the work here is also very easy, the working hours are short, the locals are scrambling to apply, for fear that they will not be able to enter, so that there are still people who make trouble, and there are people who are interested in sowing discord can not be separated.
