In the Future People Group Building, Jiang Chen came to work in the company as usual. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Two weeks had passed since the funeral of the four soldiers, and at least calm had returned to Koro Island, at least the tourists who had visited the island could no longer feel the tense atmosphere of the previous days. The only difference is that security near the airport and the marina has been much tightened. The number of patrol drones stationed near the Future Man Building has also doubled from normal times. Future People Heavy Industry has been recruiting, and the production line of the arsenal in the Anga Island Industrial Park has been spinning.

Walking into Jiang Chen's office, Xia Shiyu gently placed a stack of documents on the corner of the desk.

"The company's financial report came out last month, don't you plan to take a look?"

"Just tell me if it's positive or negative. ”

"Last month's total revenue was $4.7 billion, down 13.7% from the previous month. If the situation doesn't improve next month, it may fall by about 4-5 points again," Xia Shiyu paused and continued, "After all, we have lost all of Europe. ”

Jiang Chen picked up the financial report and looked at it.

"Do you have any good advice?"

"Layoffs in the European branch. Xia Shiyu said without hesitation.

"It could lead to a brain drain. Jiang Chen did not agree with this view.

"The senior and technical staff will keep their regular salaries, and the junior employees will be left without pay, which will cut a lot of expenses for us. I don't deny that the Future People Group can indeed afford to support these employees, but if we lose the European market for a long time, we have to think more long-term. It is not even ruled out that the European branch will be temporarily closed, only one office will be kept to maintain patents and trademarks, and the entire enterprise will be relocated to the headquarters of Penglai City or Koro Island. ”

Xia Shiyu's judgment was not wrong.

She is based on the judgment made by the CEO of Future People Group. If the European Commission is determined to fight the Future People Group to the end, then the Future People Group will not be able to move an inch in the European market, and there will be basically no means to fight back.

There is an international precedent for this.

In the second half of 13 years, the European Commission launched a double anti-dumping investigation against three Chinese photovoltaic companies. Even though the EU's decision at that time lacked sufficient legal basis and was contrary to the spirit of free trade that Western countries had always advocated, the sanctions decision was eventually implemented.

As a result, three PV companies were forced to withdraw from the MIP agreement and were subject to a hefty tariff of 47%. After the ruling, Zhongsheng and ReneSola announced that they would no longer ship to Europe from China, and shifted the focus of the market to China, Japan and South Korea.

If the resistance comes from the policy side, then there is nothing companies can do at all.

Since you have to leave sooner or later, it is better to go simply, directly lay off hundreds of thousands of you, and leave with executives and technical talents patting your ass.

Seeing that Jiang Chen hadn't made a decision, Xia Shiyu sighed and continued.

“…… At this stage, the nutritional mixture of future human organisms is being investigated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the results of the survey will be available in a week. Judging from the current situation, although Tao Ming held a series of press conferences, claiming that there was no problem with the nutritional mixture, and even drank two bottles on the spot, the final investigation results may not be in our favor. ”

If it was before, Jiang Chen would probably come by slapping the table and first greeting the ancestors of the European Commission, who were making decisions about layoffs.

But now, he was surprisingly calm.

Although the result is the same.

"Visas for new countries are issued to executives and technicians, as well as settling-in allowances. For those who are willing to follow the job transfer, the salary will be increased by 20%. If you are unwilling to follow the job transfer, you will be given two years of paid leave first. ”

The tax rate in the new country is different from that in Europe, where taxes and benefits are high, and even if the wages remain the same, these European employees who immigrate to the new country can get much higher wages than if they work in Europe.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen paused for a moment, his ten fingers crossed on the table.

"In addition to the Future Bank, all the 315,000 grassroots employees of the group's subsidiaries in the EU have been laid off!"

With 315,000 employees, the future group pays nearly $1 billion in wages every month. Layoffs are a common occurrence in the capitalist world, and morally the Future Group is not to blame.

However, the EU countries are afraid that it will not be very comfortable, after all, there are more than 300,000 unemployed people all of a sudden, and it is not very comfortable even if it is distributed to the countries. This is the case in a high-welfare state, where the unemployed are supported by the government.

"As for the UK...... Let's wait and see. Jiang Chen continued.

Britain is no longer part of the European Union, and for the time being, it has not responded to the butcher's knife wielded by Freemasonry in the future. However, if the UK also follows the action against the Future People Group, Jiang Chen doesn't care, anyway, he has given up on the European market.

At least until Freemasonry collapsed, he had no intention of returning.

"Yes. ”

Xia Shiyu nodded, turned around and left the office.

……

The European Commission is feasting on the future people group, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the EU is determined to copy Jiang Chen's "home" in Europe. However, just three days before the EFSA investigation into the safety of nutritional mixtures was released, the Future People Group suddenly announced that its industries would be completely withdrawn from Europe, laying off 315,000 employees and retaining only two offices in France and Germany to deal with legal legacies......

After receiving this news, the European Commission, which was holding a meeting to discuss how to deal with the future people group next, suddenly fell silent.

Commissioners here, look at me, I look at you, opened your mouth, and no one said a word for a long time.

Sitting at the head of the conference table, the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, pondered Lin Ling for a long time, pinched the pen and clicked the notebook, breaking the silence at the conference table.

"Do we need to continue the discussion?"

“…… 320,000 layoffs? Are they crazy?" said the commissioner from Germany, who was incredulous at the news.

After all, a third of the employees of the Future People Group are concentrated in Germany, if this news is confirmed. Then, just a second ago, more than 100,000 unemployed homeless people were added to Germany.

"It seems that they are real. The French commissioner looked at his watch, then closed the pen cap and notebook, "It seems that the meeting can end early, we won, and the Future People Group ran from Europe with its tail between its legs...... Thankfully, this errand is finally over. ”

In a series of surveys of the Future People Group, he also faced a lot of pressure when he voted in favor.

The populace is not as foolish as they seem. The European Commission's series of measures clearly bear the strong overtones of local protectionism. Entrepreneurs may be happy to see the absence of such a competitor, but in the eyes of those who have a favorable impression of the Future People Group, this kind of behavior is not as popular as when they investigated Huaguo PV companies.

After all, most people do not come into contact with photovoltaic equipment every day, but they do use future mobile phones and the world's only neural access device - phantom helmets every day.

Even if this is the order of Freemasonry, it is the voting members and the government behind each of the members who vote for it that need to resist the pressure of public opinion.

"Then the meeting was dissolved. ”

The commissioners left their seats one after another, and although they won, for some reason, there was no happy expression on everyone's faces.

As he left the venue, the German Commissioner for Affairs, Flamon, made two phone calls, one to Mr. President and the other to an old friend at Freemasonry. When he returns to Germany, I'm afraid that some of him will be busy......

Although it was true that he had won, Flamon always had the illusion that he had been defeated.

It must be an illusion. (To be continued.) )
