Chapter 113: Tough General
The telescope does not have a perspective function, but Lin Ye can imagine that the situation inside the general Daewoo agency opposite, for Lao Maozi's combat effectiveness, he has always been a high-level leader, two hundred people beat thousands of football hooligans in England, and it is not unprecedented, not to mention that the number of people is completely crushing now.
Inside the GM Daewoo Agency, there was a rush of chickens and dogs jumping at this time, and there were gangsters hiding in the crowd to drive the rhythm, and the Russian nationalists who rushed in exploded in their hearts, destroying everything that could be seen in sight. All office facilities were destroyed, and the general employees who did not find a place to hide were treated with a casserole-sized fist without exception.
The whole institution belonging to the GM Group, there was a rush of chickens and dogs, except for the roar of the Russians, which was the sound of things shattering.
"Katya, what are you doing?" said Lydia with a smile on her face, greeting her best friend in a beautiful voice, "You don't know, our side is in chaos, it seems that someone is besieging the organization of the General Group, and I am really worried about the people inside." ”
Lin Ye slowly put down the binoculars, looking at Lydia's expression was quite exciting, should this be the case? Can you still be a little perfunctory? Shaking his head and focusing on the following again, he couldn't miss the best shot of the game.
In the capital of the Khabarovsk Territory, a similar situation is also being played, and similar scenes are played out in the Amur Region, the Jewish Autonomous Region, and Chita in one day, the Russian mafia, born out of the Soviet-era group of thieves who were imprisoned in the Gulag labor camp, after the closure of the Gulag in the sixties, and the group of law thieves was released into society. It gradually metamorphosed into the Russian mafia, which is now known all over the world.
As early as the Soviet era, the Soviet gangsters at that time had used the friendship established within the gulag to communicate regularly, and the national congress belonging to the gangsters, Palyalov in Primorye, was a member of the Slavic gang of the legal bandits, and the gangs had their own communication channels during the Soviet era, not to mention that it is now the 21st century.
There is no need for Palyalov to take the initiative to contact, the bosses of other regions have their own channels to know that Palyalov is playing the above role in it, and of course others don't know whether Palyalov did it himself, or if someone else instructed him, but since Palyalov dares to do this, others think that there is no problem for them to participate in the entry.
The emergence of protest crowds and attacks on the GM group were anticipated by the local Ministry of Internal Affairs, while the latter were unprepared, and more importantly, they were spread through the Internet and other channels.
There are two possibilities, one is to be stopped, and the other is much more likely, that is, more people will join it, if it was the situation in the Russian economy a few years ago, there would be no first possibility at all, it must be the second possibility. Because the worse the economy, the more xenophobic it becomes.
The actions of the GM Group became known to Russian netizens all over the country through the Internet, and the wave immediately spread from the Far East all the way to the west, across the Ural Mountains, and began to affect the European part of Russia.
The speed of the spread is simply unresponsive, because of the situation in Ukraine a few years ago, the United States and Russia took their own positions, and the candidate supported by Russia had already won, but because of the public opinion created by Europe and the United States, there was a reversal in the end, and Yushchenko, who was hostile to Russia, came to power. This does not mention the suspicion of poisoning.
Russia's hostility towards the United States has reached its peak in recent years because of Ukraine, and the emperor who has unleashed goodwill on the United States after coming to power has directly changed his attitude towards the United States.
The next day, on the territory of the European part of Russia, looting of the GM group began. GM also immediately closed its facilities temporarily and condemned the violence. The Ministries of the Interior were not slow to respond by sending police to prevent this from happening again, but before that, dozens of offices and institutions belonging to the user groups had been looted.
Detroit, USA, for Detroit, its pillar industry is undoubtedly the automobile. However, the automobile industry, GM Group has been hit by Germany and Japan and has become more and more unsustainable, and a large number of urban residents have fled from the city center to the suburbs, and the reason is also related to the car character of Detroit. The city's development model is entirely based on a framework dominated by big business and infrastructure. The excellence of the highway made suburbanization more convenient and helped the middle class abandon the city. So Detroit became a hollow city. More and more middle class is leaving the city and moving to the suburbs. In this way, all that is left in the urban area are some unemployed and homeless, the crime rate cannot be reduced, the investment is getting less and less, and the tax revenue is getting less and less can not improve the local situation, and it has become a vicious circle.
However, for the headquarters of the GM Group, this kind of decay scene is not seen nearby, and the conference room of the headquarters at this time not only does not have the slightest place that matches the decay scene of Detroit, but on the contrary, it is still very lively.
Managers of major departments and some senior executives vied with each other to express their opinions, and the atmosphere was simply excessive. These usually well-dressed elites, when it comes to facing problems, are not at all higher than the marketmen.
"Those barbaric Russians, in more than a day, robbed dozens of our institutions in the former Soviet Union, and the loss of office equipment alone has almost wiped out our profits over there, these barbarians. A high-ranking official tugged at the tie around his neck and shouted angrily, "That's not a place to do business, Russians only deserve to gnaw potatoes in the snow and ice, a bunch of poor ghosts." ”
GM Group's business in Russia is not good, in the world, GM Group has Germany and Benzi as competitors, Japanese cars have an advantage over American cars in terms of economy, not to mention that Russia's economic situation is not good, although this country is not short of oil resources, will not care about the oil tiger of the United States, may save some who will not want it.
In the high-end car market, German cars are the main providers of the European part of Russia, and the geographical location of Germany and Russia is not far away, and the United States is also unable to intervene in it, and the competition with German cars cannot be achieved. General Motors, which has been attacked from both sides, is already in a very embarrassing position in Russia, and many institutions have only meager profits and are barely maintained.
Many institutions have suffered losses this time, and they don't know how long it will take to earn back, the automotive industry itself has invested relatively large, and the profits are not as high as imagined.
"A lot of employees in Russia are panicking, and so are the Russians we hire, and quite a few of them have already resigned!" another executive sighed, "and this has had a huge impact on our corporate image, and some of the financial losses are even greater." ”
For a well-known enterprise, the image of the brand is very important, if the brand stinks, it may not be able to be washed clean within a few years, which can be more serious than the loss in the short term.
"There's no way, how do we know that the Koreans will cause trouble, we should have known that when we first accepted them, we should have expelled all the Koreans and let them get out. A bunch of bastards who are dragging their feet, and now the losses must be borne by us. ”
"What's the point of saying this now? If it can be reversed, it will definitely let the Koreans get out, but can it be redeemed now?"
"So what should we do? Let's admit the mistakes of the Koreans to the Russians? If it is useful, it is okay, we are a company, but is it useful now? Besides, it is a pity for our group to give up the Russian market, and if we do not give up, there will be a sandwich attack on the automobile companies of other two countries. ”
"Now our institutions that have been attacked will not be able to find anything but broken glass, and if it weren't for the sturdy houses in Russia, they might all have been demolished into farmland. ”
"Look at the broken cars made by the Russians themselves, countries that can't make anything are still so hooligans, I think the biggest ***** is Russia, a bunch of bandits. ”
In the conference room, many executives and managers criticized the feedback from Russia. For many years, these group managers had not encountered such a thing, and they were angry for a while. Even in Africa and South America, GM has not smashed so many offices at once.
"Quiet down, gentlemen!" Rick Wagner, CEO of GM Group, sighed to prevent the conversion of this high-end office space into a wet market, "as some managers have said, we have been attacked for unknown reasons, and at the same time, in Russia, the awkward living environment of our group has made us hesitate to respond. ”
If you can easily make up for the losses with profits, this is very easy to do, and directly admit that you are pushing everything on the South Koreans, and be open and honest and bow your head, and ask the Russians to forgive. As long as the profits are sufficient, GM Group is not unable to use sincerity to dispel the anger of the Russians, and GM Group will not dislike the Russians' money.
However, the profits of the General Motors Group in Russia can only maintain these institutions and there is not much left, and these institutions in Russia are themselves owned by the South Korean Daewoo Group, and the Daewoo Group went bankrupt, and the General Motors Group took the opportunity to merge and acquire and guessed into their hands. In this case, GM Group is more entangled, whether to bow its head and submit to softness or toughness to the end.
CEO Rick Wagner chose the latter, making up his mind, "It is already very difficult to make a breakthrough in the business in Russia, to sell all the institutions and cash out of Russia." This matter must be publicized in the domestic media, an expression of our unyielding gesture against barbaric Russia, and the fact that our population is on our side. The local market is the most important thing for us, and we immediately took the opportunity to lay off all the employees we had taken over from the Daewoo Group, and I was like getting rid of them. ”
