Chapter 887: The Man Who Can Make Trouble
"These grandsons are bastards! I really want to kick them to death. He Tiejun, who was hot-tempered, couldn't help but curse directly, he didn't know, in fact, any Chinese company in the United States would encounter this situation, and a few years later, when Alibaba, China's largest e-commerce company, was listed in the United States, it was suppressed enough for selling fake goods.
"It's no longer helpful to hold accountable." Liu Shishi was used to it, seemed very calm, and asked Li Zhengfu: "Lawyer Li, what can we do to deal with it now?" ”
"Originally, the best way was to admit guilt and directly make up the 3% business tax that Black Feather Warner enjoyed after its establishment, which was actually not much, but this time the Federal Department of Justice wanted Warner Group to pay the tax reduction and exemption enjoyed for the past 15 years...... This amount alone is close to $5 billion...... "Li Zhengfu thought for a moment and said:
"So the best thing to do now is to cheat, before the trial, you quickly hire 5 percent of the total number of employees with disabilities, and then let the disabled employees apply to the court to protest and provide proof, so that I have enough evidence to win the lawsuit."
Liu Shishi and He Tiejun couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, glanced at each other, and compensated 5 billion ...... It seems that the Federal Department of Justice is trying to put them to death...... This sin is certainly uncognizable.
"Has the number of employees with disabilities increased to more than 5 percent...... Then we will immediately call in about 1,000 employees with disabilities. Liu Shishi silently calculated.
"It's not hard to recruit employees with disabilities." He Tiejun has been in charge of the Shanghai Film Group for a year, and immediately saw the key:
"The real difficulty is how to let these disabled employees fight against the Federal Department of Justice for the sake of the company, we have just taken control of Warner, and the internal people are unstable, even the old employees may not jointly fight against the Federal Department of Justice for us."
"Mr. He is right, we not only need enough disabled employees now, but also need to find enough disabled employees who are willing to protest, demonstrate, and make trouble for the company within two weeks, so that we can put pressure on the procuratorate." Li Zhengfu emphasized:
"The United States is a democracy, and in this kind of lawsuit against the company in the name of employee welfare, the public opinion of the employees is often more effective than the actual evidence."
Hearing this, Liu Shishi and He Tiejun were in trouble at the same time, they are not familiar with the place in the United States, where to find 1,000 disabled employees who are fighting for them.
When they recruit, they can't use "can you fight to prove the innocence of the company" as the basis for entry, which is illegal in itself......
"Why don't we recruit 10,000 employees first, sign a one-month contract, pay them a month's salary if they don't let them work, and then dismiss them on the grounds of probationary period, as long as the base is large, there must be enough employees willing to fight against the Ministry of Justice for us, right?" Liu Shishi thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a bad idea, after the box office explosion of "The Dark Knight", there is enough capital and wealth.
"Nope." He Tiejun said with a wry smile: "According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is easy to recruit employees with disabilities, but it is difficult to dismiss, recruit 10,000 temporary workers, as long as they do not make mistakes, they have the right to apply for an extension of the contract, and at that time, our group alone will not be able to bear it." ”
"It doesn't work either! That won't work either! Are we just waiting to lose $5 billion? The more Liu Shishi listened, the more angry she became.
She didn't expect that after the acquisition of Warner, she would encounter this kind of crisis, if it was in the film and television business, they would always have a way, but at the group management level, they were inexperienced.
The reason why Hollywood's six major media groups have grown so well in the United States is because they are inextricably linked to various film and television unions.
Once the federal government wants to move them under some small pretext, actors, directors, extras, and several influential unions will put pressure on the government, whether Republican or Democratic control, the federal government will not dare to offend such a large number of voters.
Otherwise, you punish the six major groups with decades of history and strong influence, and those unions under the next six congresses can kill you with votes......
On the other hand, Black Feather Warner, which has a shallow foundation, does not have such strength and energy at all.
"I look at this matter, let's ask Mr. Han and Mr. Wang to come out...... They are more experienced. He Tiejun thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and admitted that he had no choice but to move the rescuers.
"No...... Helen King's purpose is to involve Huawei, China Film, two state-related companies, in order to suppress China...... If Mr. Han and Mr. Wang come forward, it will make the situation more complicated. Gu Xiaofan shook his head, then lowered his head and thought about it.
Now they need a group of disabled employees who can do things and can't be a burden for Black Feather Warners, and they need to take the initiative to fight for the company...... Employees with disabilities who can make trouble must also be able to do things and not eat the company's benefits...... Where can such people be found?
This was the first test he faced as a group manager, and it seemed to be too difficult......
Wait a minute...... He seems to have forgotten something, the employees who can make trouble, doesn't he happen to have a group of employees who can make trouble in the future!?
Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he thought about it, and said to the driver:
"Don't stop the car, just drive to Twitter."
Liu Shishi and He Tiejun were a little puzzled when they heard this, what were they doing at Twitter? Could it be that Gu Xiaofan wants to use Twitter's influence to recruit disabled employees who are willing to fight against the Ministry of Justice for Black Feather Warner? But it's also illegal......
In everyone's confusion, Gu Xiaofan came all the way to Twitter's office, and as soon as he entered the door in a wheelchair, a tall white security guard blocked them: "Sorry, please show your employee card and register for your visit." ”
Gu Xiaofan and the four of them were a little embarrassed, and Liu Shishi said helplessly: "Let's call Leon." ”
As he was talking, the white security guard glanced at Gu Xiaofan in the wheelchair again, and then looked back at the photo of the first place on the staff wall behind him with a surprised expression, and suddenly showed a panicked look.
"I'm sorry~Mr. Gu Xiaofan, please come in, please come in~~"
Gu Xiaofan nodded with a smile, but the lawyer next to him, Li Zhengfu, was a little confused, could it be that this security guard was Gu Xiaofan's fan? How to just let them in.
As soon as Liu Shishi pushed Gu Xiaofan in a wheelchair into the hall of Twitter, people came and went, and they couldn't help but stop, every face was full of surprise and reverence, and the four of them could hear it, whispering from afar.
"Is that Gu Xiaofan?" "Wow, I didn't expect him to be so young." "It's the first time I've seen him in person~"
The people who work in Twitter are a group of technophiles who wear glasses, and they don't look like people who usually watch movies and television, but they all seem to know Gu Xiaofan, and seeing him is like an Apple employee seeing Jobs's expression, full of admiration and respect.
Even Gu Xiaofan himself didn't know that during this time, Twitter's CEO Leon educated employees every day in the company, and how great he was as the chairman of the company who invented "WeChat" and saved Twitter......
"Where is Leon?" Gu Xiaofan casually asked the employee passing by.
"In the conference room, Mr. Gu, I'll take you there~" The fat employee in a yellow T-shirt led Gu Xiaofan and the four of them through the corridor with reverence on his face, and came directly to the innermost conference room.
Gu Xiaofan was just about to ask Liu Shishi to knock on the door, when he saw Leon, who had not been seen for a long time, rush out with a red face, and leaned down and gave him a big hug.
"Mr. Gu~ Why didn't you notify me in advance."
Gu Xiaofan was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of his partner, smiled and broke free from him, and said straight to the point: "Leon, are you ready for the Didi taxi project I asked you to prepare before?" ”
