Chapter 697: Wave of Unemployment in the West

"Xiao Ming is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from low-level interests, and a person who is beneficial to the people. From the ridicule of a forum netizen.

The information in Bill's hands is right, Xiao Ming does not have any private industry in the United States and Europe, because he has a different mentality from those nouveau riche in the Xia country.

There are many nouveau riche in Xia Kingdom, and after Xia Guo makes money, the first thing he does is to find a way to transfer his assets overseas, and by the way, he also immigrates his children overseas.

The reason is that they do not have any confidence in the future development of Xia Kingdom, and believe that the future of Europe and the United States will be better than that of Xia Country in the future.

They are thinking about how to make money from the Xia Kingdom, not how to build the Xia Kingdom.

Xiao Ming is different from the top management of Pangu Technology, they do not have any private industry overseas because they are full of confidence in the future of Xia Kingdom. The fundamental reason is that they are the builders and creators of the future of the Xia Kingdom.

Bill stood up, he knew that Pangu Technology had gone so far not only to endanger the interests of the Rockefeller family, but also to the interests of many Mi consortiums.

In the global strategy of putting the United States first, this is absolutely not allowed.

Most of the consortia in the United States, including the Rockefeller family, will take all means to retaliate against Pangu Technology.

In the summer country, the cold winter of European car companies has come.

At the Shanghai Automobile Group, more than a dozen European executives and technical commissioners received salary reduction orders.

The main reason for the decline is that the research and development of the joint venture brand cars has stopped, and all the projects of the joint venture brand of the Shanghai Automobile Group will be completely terminated after the inventory is cleared.

The salary limit for foreign executives is only that the contract between the two parties has not expired, and if the contract really expires, Shanghai Automobile Group really wants to dismiss all these foreign executives.

In the past 30 years of cooperation, the relationship between Shanghai Automobile Group and foreign executives is not as harmonious as imagined, after all, foreign executives represent the interests of the majority of Europeans, not Xia people.

For the past 30 years, these European executives have been the masters of the Shanghai Automobile Group.

The place to live must be the best, for example, they ask the Shanghai Automobile Group not to rent a general apartment for them, it must be a family-style hotel, because there are people to serve them.

It's like, you need to prepare Western food for them, don't eat with Xia Guo's executives, and so on.

These special treatments made the rest of the employees of the Shanghai Automobile Group very unbalanced.

I am afraid that the role is still limited, but considering that the main profit of the group is based on the joint venture brand, these rude requests are accepted by the group.

Now, the external environment has changed, the market has changed, and of course the preferential conditions have also changed.

After receiving the salary cut, the executives were furious.

Foreign executives led by CIO Pan Lisi came to the office of the manager of the headquarters of Shanghai Automobile Group to ask for an explanation.

"Why the sudden reduction in pay? It's not fair to us!"

"Why reduce our salary, I want to see the boss!"

The vice president and the CIO are at the same level, so Pan Lisi asked to meet with the boss.

Vice President Guo, who is in charge of personnel, said patiently: "Mr. Pan Lisi, the basic salary performance contract between our two sides is not good, and now the performance of the joint venture brand is not good, and we reduce the salary according to the requirements, which is reasonable." ”

Liss Pan: "We asked to see the boss. ”

Vice President Guo: "This is the opinion of the boss. ”

Pan Lisi: "I'll report the situation here to the German headquarters!"

Vice President Guo really wants to laugh very, very much, and now it is useless to press the German headquarters? The senior management of the Shanghai Automobile Group wants to dump the joint venture car companies, which is a hot potato.

Vice President Guo also said in a very calm tone: "Mr. Pan Lisi, gentlemen, we have informed the German side about the salary cut. ”

Pan Lisi is not a fool, he knows what the market situation in Xia Guo is now, and this salary cut is actually a hidden murder, and it is more to force Pan Lisi and other foreign executives to resign.

Because of the annual salary of 400,000 yuan, he is basically humiliating himself.

"Okay!" Pan Lisi nodded angrily, "We'll submit our resignation." ”

Vice President Guo said differently: "The group will definitely respect your opinions. ”

In less than a week, more than 100 foreign executives or technical personnel of a number of Xiaguo joint venture car companies, including Shanghai Automobile Group, have left, and only foreign consultants from technical departments such as chassis and body tuning are still retained, and the gap between Xiaguo car companies and Western car companies still exists in these aspects.

The 30-piece joint venture model in the automotive industry may be dying from this point in time.

In Europe, major automakers have to face layoffs and cost cuts in the face of the reality of weak sales and supply chain disruption in Xia, as well as the pressure of cost growth.

In Germany, Getrag announced the layoff of 2,000 people, the company mainly produces transmissions for the Xia-China joint venture fuel vehicles, and now the fuel vehicles are discontinued, and the corresponding transmissions cannot be sold.

The most direct consequence of not being able to sell is a decrease in profits, an increase in costs, and then only layoffs.

One of GM's subsidiaries also announced layoffs of 500 people, which produces water tank lids for GM's cars.

The fan heat of the motor of the new energy vehicle is not the same as that of the fuel vehicle, and there is no need for so many water tank water caps.

The wave of layoffs continues.

Jiangcheng, suburbs, mountainous areas.

Further north is the large mountain range that borders the city, and there are not many inhabitants living in the steep mountains.

More than 10 years ago, it was designated as a nature reserve and closed to the public.

Pangea Technology's controlled nuclear fusion laboratory is located here.

The biggest difficulty in controlled nuclear fusion is to constrain the energetic particles and the persistence of the reaction. At present, the best restraint device is Xia Guo's supertokmark, which uses superconducting magnetism to confine particles.

But running the device requires powerful energy, creating energy and outputting energy, and many European devices have more input energy than output, and controlled nuclear fusion is also a laboratory thing, which has no substantive meaning.

The controllable nuclear fusion experimental device being built by Pangu Technology is to solve this problem, and the laboratory is not only participated by people from the Pangu Science and Technology Physics Laboratory, but also by many experts from the Xia Guo Energy Laboratory.

After the optimization of the laboratory here, the positive output of energy has been achieved, which can be regarded as the success of controlled nuclear fusion, which is a little bit ahead of Europe, but there is still a long way to go before commercial use, because there are still many problems to be solved.
