Chapter 63: The Incurable Problem
The rights of trade unions in Western countries are indeed very large, and workers can strike at every turn, and capitalists cannot dismiss employees at will.
There are some large companies that have been played to death by the unions.
Although it claims to be for the welfare of workers, and it is indeed for the welfare of workers, in many cases, the benefits sought are close to blackmail.
This is very different in China, and most of the workers in China do not enjoy any benefits.
The title of the world's factory was not given by others, but was earned by a lot of workers working overtime and working hard.
It is not easy to say which system is better, but we can only say from whose standpoint we look at.
If Gu Mu was a worker in this company, of course, he would also look at the problem from the perspective of the workers, refusing the company to buy more advanced mining machines, putting them in danger of losing their jobs.
If he had such an organization when he was working back then, he probably wouldn't have had such a messy life......
At the beginning, he once moved bricks at a construction site, but he didn't get a reward of thousands of yuan, the contractor left, and the developer didn't recognize the account, so he had to give up.
However, his current identity is the future boss of this company, and of course he will look at the problem from the boss's standpoint, so the employees of these companies who prevent the company from saving costs and having more advanced productivity are undoubtedly some unreasonable people.
He asked Chi Yanyan: "Is there a way to cure those people?"
"There's no way around it at the moment. Chi Yan said helplessly.
If there is a practical solution, many large companies will not be played to death by organizations such as trade unions.
The head of the union is not in this team, except for the two beautiful secretary girls here, the rest belong to the management, and their butts are the same as Gu Mu.
The more productive the company, the higher their bonuses, and whether the workers will lose their jobs or not has nothing to do with their interests.
Speaking of this topic, those people expressed their anger at the union's disregard for the overall situation.
This is a rare opportunity for industrial upgrading.
But none of them had any good ideas to think of.
The unionists needed a promise from the company that they would not fire any of their employees for the next five years before they could agree to buy such a machine, but the company could not make such a guarantee.
Affected by the de-production capacity of China's domestic iron and steel companies, the news of huge losses in the three major mines came out a year ago, and the entire industry was not so prosperous.
The most critical reason why this company can make money is that several of their major shareholders are Huaxia's steel companies, which can eat so much iron ore and do not have to worry about sales.
However, it is unlikely that we will be able to expand production until we find a stable market.
Because of this reason, the two sides have been unable to talk and have been deadlocked there.
If such a situation were encountered in China, Gu Mu would definitely kick the troublemakers away.
But this is in Australia, so many people in the company can't think of a way, he doesn't think he can come up with a better way, so he complained, and the matter passed.
Anyway, now that the mining company is still making money, it's better to let it go on like this than to destroy the company.
At noon, Johnson hosted a banquet in the company's building to entertain Gu Mu and his party.
During the afternoon break, the two beautiful secretary girls followed Gu Mu to the resting place and gave him a massage very considerately.
Su Qi was not arranged to rest in one place, but she didn't care, she didn't have any feelings for Gu Mu, and she could just avoid her hard work.
Although the language barrier was incomprehensible, it did not prevent the two beautiful white girls from providing services to Gu Mu.
Some things don't need language at all.
Press and press, and the three of them will roll together.
Gu Mu once again tasted the taste of subduing the oceanic horse.
In the afternoon, we will continue to visit the company, but this time it is not the situation in the mining area, but the transportation of iron ore.
In order to allow these iron ores to be transported faster, they funded the construction of a freight railway of dozens of kilometers in this mine, all the way to the large railway built by the state, and then transported to the port.
The development of mines is not very expensive, how to transport these mineral resources, that is the most expensive.
Gu Mu knew that this mining company had built such a long railway by itself, and he felt very incredible.
Chi told him that some mining companies could only build the railway directly from the mine to the wharf because there was no railroad nearby, which would be more costly.
Africa has a large number of mineral resources, but the local government can only sell them at a very low price, that is, because of the inconvenient transportation, it is not easy to sell those minerals.
In some places, even the ore is free, and if you pull them to Huaxia, it will already be a sky-high ore.
Australia is still much better at this point, and it is also a developed country, and the construction of infrastructure is much stronger than that of Africa.
Even, the price of iron ore pulled from Australia to China is even lower than the price of iron ore purchased by Huaxia domestic steel companies from the mainland, and the grade is higher.
This is also the reason why the relationship between the two countries was very bad a year or two ago, but business was carried out.
If China wants to impose sanctions on this country economically, at most it will only impose some sanctions on agricultural products.
Canceling the ore transaction is definitely a double-edged sword, and even Huaxia is even more seriously injured.
What really has a significant impact on these iron ore prices is the big policy of de-capacity of China's domestic steel industry.
You must know that Huaxia's steel production has accounted for more than half of the world's total steel production, and the impact on the entire industry is very huge.
If he restricts production capacity, the upstream iron ore market will narrow and prices will fluctuate.
It's good to die, the de-capacity of China's domestic steel industry is about the same time as Australia's anti-China wave, which can't help but make the industry think about it.
China's domestic investment in Australian iron ore is quite huge, and the investment amount is calculated in tens of billions of US dollars, and the cornucopia mining company is just one of them.
In this wave of de-capacity, the iron ore sales of those mines with Huaxia investors have not been greatly affected, and life is still relatively much better.
Knowing this, Gu Mu also realized how lucky it is for a businessman who does transnational business to be backed by a strong motherland.
