On the assembly line of the workshop, nearly 20 people are helping three cars paint.

Most of the others are idle, and Aston Martin used to need a lot of workers, but since Ford Motor Company has helped improve the assembly line operation process, there are not so many people in semi-automated production.

Han Xuan sighed that it is no wonder that Ford fired more than 1,400 employees, and now the remaining more than 3,900 people are still many, at least half of them can be streamlined.

Aston Martin has never won by the number of cars sold, with more than 6,000 units sold in its best year in the previous decades.

These extra people are equivalent to the company being raised for nothing, and they don't have to work.

At least tens of millions of pounds a year are lost, and no company can afford to do that.

Under such circumstances, Han Xuan also saw their hateful eyes, and his heart was a little chilly.

"Is that the case for all companies in the UK?

Dozens of people work, hundreds of people watching, and they still get paid. ”

Michelle Shearer, Director of Human Resources, who went to the airport to greet her yesterday, said: "The DB7 was just released some time ago, and it was a busy few months before, with stock in the warehouse, and there are few orders that need to be replenished recently, so

Last year, Ford was ready to lay off 2,000 people at a time, but then they went to the government, and after negotiation, they decided to let those who were close to retirement age, who worked less often, and who often did not come, leave their jobs. ”

"I'm sorry, Han.

The information sent to us by Ford Motor Company did not mention this matter.

I thought it was normal for such a large car company to have nearly 4,000 employees, but I didn't notice it. ”

Anthony said.

This disadvantage is too great, even if Aston Martin makes money, it will not be able to withstand the consumption of this gang.

Besides, Aston Martin hasn't made any money yet. "I think it's better to walk away from this acquisition, these troubles are not easy to deal with. ”

Han Xuan used to think that there was something wrong with Aston Martin's accounts, but he didn't find out where it was, and now he has figured it all out.

It doesn't make that much money and doesn't lay off employees to reduce expenses, which is completely unreasonable.

"Haha. You're here so early!

Well, haven't you ever seen how a car is made?

Parts are produced in the UK, Europe, USA, sent here to assemble and shipped to be sold around the world.

After the globalization of production, it is much more convenient, and all parts used to be done in the UK, which was too expensive. ”

Jude arrived here and laughed as he said that yesterday he had been discussing the issue of shares with a serious face. said that if he changed his face, he changed his face, and walked out with Han Xuan in his arms.

"The spray paint doesn't smell good, you have to wear a mask when you come here, I'll take you to see it for fun." ”

If Han Xuanzhen was as old as he looked, he might be infected by his enthusiasm, and at this moment he was only thinking about what the hell this guy was going to do.

Stay with Jude and listen to him talk about the history of Aston Martin. Walk through the factory to the door of the warehouse.

Jude motioned for the security guards to open the door, the sprawling warehouse had no windows. The sun shone in, and only a small area could be seen, and it was pitch black inside.

A security guard turned on the lights, and Han Xuan looked inside, and it was all cars.

From the original classic car, to the just-finished DB7. It's all in this warehouse.

This is the "toy" that Jude prepared for Han Xuan to attract him, and said with a smile: "The first Aston Martin in 1913, plus prototypes, concept cars, and various commemorative editions. A total of 238 vehicles.

Some of them are not on the market, and only one is left as a memorial after being scrapped, and here there are more than forty that are damaged, and there are no parts to repair, and the others can be driven.

Look here, the 1965 DB6 and the 1966 DB6 hardtop convertible.

DBS, DB6-Mk2 and DBS-V8 were all projects that I presided over, and I was later recognized by the directors at the time to become an executive officer of this company.

I heard that you like classic cars, and you have someone find them out of the warehouse and restore them, and you want to have a showroom here in the future.

Look at the first Virage to roll off the assembly line in 1988, it's the one I'm most proud of, and it's sold all the way through!"

Han Xuan was really shocked by more than two hundred cars!

It's absolutely impossible for anyone else to collect the entire Aston Martin lineup, only this manufacturer can do it.

Looking at them one by one in the order in which they are placed, you can feel the entire evolutionary history of Aston Martin.

From the beginning of this century, when the car was just getting started, until now in 1994, Anthony's heart was just shaken and he was inclined to buy it.

Stop in front of DB5 and wait and see, this car Han Xuan also has one, but this is a prototype, it is more precious, and the appearance is a little different

"It's good, but I still can't agree to a 6% equity reward. ”

Han Xuan finished reading it all, sat on the hood of the only DB7 prototype, and said.

Jude had been looking at Han Xuan's expression since he came in, and he asked several people about Han Xuan's hobby before he knew.

Seeing that he had obviously been fascinated by these cars just now, he was stunned for a while when he heard this, and his face instantly turned red.

"And how much are you going to give?"

"Until you create value for my boss, I'm more inclined to postpone equity dividends, so I don't have any plans to do that yet. Anthony said.

The treasurer, Shaun Hopkins, came to Jude and whispered a few words.

Jude took a deep breath, "The reporters are here, and they want to ask about the details of the acquisition, you guys prepare first, and I'll go to receive them." ”

"There's no need, right?"

Han Xuan spread his hands and said: "After all, the first condition has not been discussed.

We found some problems with the company, and we need to reconnect with Ford Motor Company and discuss the signing of the contract. ”

"Okay. ”

Jude looked at Michelle, "Then I'll tell reporters." ”

Michelle received his eyes and said, "I'll help you ......"

Several people were walking on the road.

"Questions?

What problems did they find?"

"The number of employees, the number of employees in the company is too much, it may be that you want to lay off employees. Michelle replied.

Jude was visibly relaxed, "If the acquisition is not successfully completed this time, Ford Motor Company will definitely put the blame on me."

Yesterday I tore my face, in case it was successfully acquired by Snow Mountain Investment Company. We were the first to leave.

Henry is one of our people, and with his help, we might as well continue to stay here and have a good life.

Sean, let people release the news that Snow Mountain Investment Company decided to lay off employees after the acquisition, and there were significant layoffs.

Take the reporter to the factory for an interview. Let the workers make trouble, so that I have a reason to reply to the head office!"

……

Hannah is being pointed to the head with a double-barreled shotgun.

The man with the gun was an old woman in her sixties and seventies with gray hair, who shouted: "Say!

I saw you sneaky in the morning, and walked past Jude's house several times, and I was staring at you from the window!

The police are coming soon, and our community has been being stolen a lot lately, so I've finally caught you!"

"Bibi?"

Hannah's face was helpless, and she was fine with how many well-guarded museums she had entered. It was planted in the hands of this old woman.

"My dog! a poor Chihuahua, who has been with me for more than eight years......"

Halfway through the shooting, the old woman didn't have time to scream, a handkerchief covered her mouth, and she soon fainted in Angelo's arms.

Hannah asked, "Is she okay?"

"It's okay, inhalation anesthetic, I only put a little bit of it, and I can wake up in a few minutes. ”

Angelo took out a small bottle and shook it. When he heard the alarm bell, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up!"

Jason sensed the voice. Just let Bernie start the car, wait for them to get in, drive a few dozen meters, the police just arrived, found the old woman fainted, hurriedly got out of the car.

"It's dangerous. ”

Bivis looked back at the alarm bells that were still ringing. "Fool, thank you, you almost caught me. ”

Jason took the folder from Hannah and probably read it, "That's right. That's it. ”

"Can you let us go now?" said Angelo.

"Who said I'm going to let you go?"

Jason put the papers away, "Bivis, if I were you, there would be no small movements, and I could easily break your throat in the car."

It stands to reason that you should be killed so that the news of those paintings will not leak, but the boss will not agree, so pack up your things and get ready to go with us.

I'll help you arrange your work, and I'll be relieved that someone is watching me, and it seems that you guys are still of some use.

The salary will not be less, there is a minute to think about it, don't say I didn't give it a chance. ”

There was a sudden silence in the car.

There was also a blade in Bivis's shoes for self-defense, but Augustin's famous ruthless man was beaten like this, and he was really not sure that he would succeed.

Angelo's expression was calm, as if he had guessed that this would happen, and empathized that he would do the same himself, "How much is the salary?"

"Each earns half a million dollars a year, in the name of a consultant, a security consultant.

You don't even use your real names, do you?

I know a little bit about this business, and I will not use this identity in the future, if there is any problem, tell me, and I will let the scavenger handle it.

Remember, you're all dead......"

Angelo and the others looked at each other and were silent.

It's really not their real name now, especially Bivis, who, as a liar, has more than thirty legal identities so much that he often forgets his name.

A pie fell from the sky, but I don't know if it's poisonous or not, and I only have a minute to think

At the Aston Martin factory, a man whispered to the idle employees: "Did you hear that?

That kid from the United States is going to fire half of us, and the severance pay is only a little bit!"

"What did you say?"

One of the employees immediately exploded and jumped up to ask him.

"Really?!"

"Layoffs? I've been working hard here for more than ten years, and I'm going to be fired!?"

A middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, "Those Yankees are really black! I just laid off more than 1,000 people, and my neighbor's family is starving to death!"

Where did you hear that?!"

"Who else.

Several company executives discussed, and I heard it when I helped them pour water, and it was absolutely right!"

"No! What about those people?! I'll go find them!"

"Why do British cars sell to them?

If you go to the town again, will the government ignore it? I won't believe it! Don't expect me to pay taxes in the future if you don't promise!"

The others not far away saw that they were impassioned and shouted, "Dan, why are you so excited?

Which adulterer do you want to fight?

"Fart! She hasn't stolen lately!

The company is going to lay off employees again, cut half!"

"Ahh

"Holy!"

The news spread rapidly in just a few minutes, from one factory to another.

The employee who was working stopped the machine.

The job is almost gone, what kind of work do you still have!

All walked out of the factory, and the discussion was noisy!

They also know that the company has more employees, but no one wants to be laid off, and it is comfortable to get paid for nothing without working in other jobs.

All of them were filled with righteous indignation.

Painters use the tools at hand to make signs in an instant.

Some people remembered the last time they protested against Ford's layoffs and didn't throw them away, so they hurried to the dormitory to get them.

Less than fifteen minutes after the rumor broke, a team of more than 2,000 people raised their fists and walked towards the administrative building of the headquarters.

At the same time, the slogan was shouted: "Oppose the takeover! Yankees go back!"

Han Xuan was sitting in the car to experience DB7, and his heart sank when he heard the voice.

Facing Anya's questioning eyes, he smiled bitterly: "If the villain has a vendetta, he will take revenge immediately, and he really won't delay ...... for a minute" (to be continued.) )
