Chapter 425: Xu Jianyi Arrives
A week has passed since Dan's incident, and Lord Winston personally came to the Winston Police Station to report the case, and the Duke's personal visit naturally made the police station lively, and at the same time, the chief of the police station also patted his chest and said that they would definitely arrest people in three weeks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Batian only smiled at the police chief's assurance, if it was really so easy to catch, then Auston would not be so painstaking.
That's right, Wang Batian already knows the person behind the scenes, Auston, in fact, Auston also understands that things will not be hidden for long, Auston doesn't ask for anything else, just wants to hide Wang Batian before taking the land owned by the Winston family, but now...... The appearance of Claire and Matthew completely disrupts the Auston plan.
What made Auston most panicked was that Wang Batian actually recruited agents for all the business of the Duke's Palace, which means that both Auston and Rowan will lose their rights in the future.
Naturally, Auston would not allow such a situation to happen, because it would mean that he would completely lose control of the Duke's Palace, but this kind of thing could he refuse?
Wang Batian's statement on this matter is that you are also aristocrats, and business matters are detrimental to your reputation, and now it is the 21st century, it is the world of professional managers, and the business is handed over to them, and you only need to do what nobles should do.
What should an aristocrat do? Walking the dog, watching a horse race, attending a banquet, and organizing a charity auction are the life of an aristocrat, but that's not what Alston wants.
Several interviewers were hastily transferred from Washington, and then senior executives from Beijiang Heavy Industries and Hengtian Group interviewed the professional managers who came to apply for the job, and the two former business leaders, Auston and Rowan, were not even qualified to become interviewers.
In the face of Wang Batian's behavior to set them up, neither Auston nor Rowan has the slightest way, you must know that the people who patrol back and forth in the castle are all Wang Batian's people, and those original bodyguards have also been eliminated after a round of selection, and those who remain are sent to a training camp in Africa for six months of training, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that when these people come back, they will definitely not recognize them anymore Auston and Rowan, and there is only one master of the family, that is, Duke Winston.
February 2007, a week before the Chinese New Year
At Winston Airport, several Bentleys had obviously been waiting for a while, the cabin door opened, and the bodyguards were the first to walk up the gangway, and there was no problem with the safety around Xu Jianyi and Li Guangqi before they got off the plane.
With the different identities, the two naturally can't travel as casually as before, especially since both of them have lived in Africa, and they have become accustomed to having a large number of bodyguards around them, because only in this way can they feel safe.
This airport is the private airport of the Winston family, don't ask why it is so capricious to be so rich and have such a large piece of land.
It's actually a large open space, with no waiting halls, no customer service, barbed wire, everything you need for an airport, and a few small buildings that are the residences of airport maintenance staff.
"Mr. Xu Jianyi, Mr. Li Guangqi, I am Matthew, the personal servant of His Excellency Duke Winston, and the Duke is waiting for you, please get in the car!"
Although he was just a driver before, he was also a driver in the Duke's Palace, and his etiquette was still relatively standard, although there was still a distance from the real manservant, but Wang Batian never cared about these things, and Matthew naturally became casual.
Xu Jianyi and Li Guangqi were stunned with Matthew's words, and they didn't look at each other until they got in the car, and they couldn't help but want to laugh, Mr. Wang's sudden change really made them a little unaccustomed.
The car was driving on the highway built by the Winston family, Li Guangqi couldn't help but look out the window, and then said in surprise: "The land here belongs to the Duke?" ”
I wanted to call Mr. Wang habitually, but when I opened my mouth, I remembered that now Wang Batian is already the Duke of England, and it seems a little inappropriate to continue to call Mr. Wang, after all, compared to Mr. Wang, the title of Duke seems very high.
"Suffice it to say that about sixty percent of the land in the entire Winston area is owned by the Duke himself, but soon they will be in the hands of the bank."
As Wang Batian's personal valet, Matthew naturally knew what Xu Jianyi and Li Guangqi's purpose was when they came to England, and he didn't understand business, so his ideas were different from Vincennes' housekeeper's proposal. Although this land does not bring much profit to the Duke's Palace, the Duke of Winston who has territory is the Duke of Winston, and if there is no such territory......
Why does Mayor Winston and the chief of police respect Wang Batian so much, and why he can make Yang Qian a local councilor in Winston with one sentence, you must know that he has just come to the United Kingdom to inherit the title, and the fundamental reason is this land.
Neither Xu Jianyi nor Li Guangqi could understand the feelings of the people of the Duke's Court about this land, in their eyes, this is more than 10 billion pounds, and if it is used to invest in other industries, then it is far more valuable than this land.
Coming to Winston Castle, to be honest, this is the first time that Xu Jianyi and Li Guangqi have accepted the invitation of British nobles to visit the Noble Castle, which is undoubtedly unfamiliar to them until they meet Wang Batian and Yang Qian.
Although it was not a long time, in a place like a foreign land, I was still a little excited to suddenly see my old friends in China, and gave Xu Jianyi and Li Guangqi a hug to welcome their arrival.
Xu Jianyi and Li Guangqi sat at the head of Wang Batian and Yang Qian, and they first reported on the domestic business situation, of course, because it was not more than a month, the business would not change much.
"How's the DaimlerChrysler investigation?"
DaimlerChrysler is the main purpose of Xu Jianyi's visit to Britain this time, and if Chrysler can really be won, Bac Giang Heavy Industries will be able to become an international heavy industry group in an instant.
Although it seems that Chrysler is not as good as before, the brand is there, the foundation is there, and as long as the right method is used, it will not be too difficult to restore Chrysler to its peak.
"Basically, there is no problem, the Daimler family directly disclosed to us in terms of accounting, and the possibility of traps is very small."
Wang Batian believes Xu Jianyi's words, but there is still a difficult problem in front of us, that is, the problem of labor, and DaimlerChrysler will lose in the matter of the high pension in the United States.
Xu Jianyi obviously thought about this matter, and the solution he gave was to reduce the number of American workers, and large-scale layoffs would definitely be impossible, and the United States would not allow it, so they had to think of other ways.
If the company has no income and employees can't get high salaries, I believe they will voluntarily leave! This is a method that ends up together, deliberately so that the Chrysler Company has no orders, and without orders, the workshop naturally has nothing to do, and the workers in the United States are also paid by piecework, and the greedy capitalists will not give them fixed monthly jobs.
Workers who don't have orders can't make money, and although the current social work problem in the United States is also very tense, it's still not a big problem to find a way to resettle these employees, and the U.S. government has no choice but to go through bankruptcy proceedings if it doesn't agree.
The final result of Xu Jianyi's plan is that only the scientific research team and some luxury car assembly workshops are left in the United States, and the rest of the workshops are all relocated to places such as Africa and China where labor is cheap, and the remaining engineers let them go to these workshops for guidance, which is the method given by Xu Jianyi.
Of course, this is easier said than done, after all, the US government cannot sit idly by and watch them hollow out the Chrysler Corporation and leave the United States with an empty shell and the burden of tens of thousands of American workers.
At this time, it is a battle of wits and courage, I believe that with the help of the United States Hongmen, it will not be too difficult to relocate these things from the assembly line, and it can also be refreshing when injecting capital at the beginning, which can reduce the vigilance of the US government.
In fact, as long as the scientific research department is still in the United States, then it is unlikely that the United States will chase after it, and compared with the job problem of tens of thousands of workers, the United States is most concerned about the outflow of technology.
At this time, the identity of the British duke came in handy, if Beijiang Heavy Industries directly acquired Chrysler, it would definitely not work, after all, Europe and the United States are still carrying out a technical blockade on Washington. But if the acquisition is a British duke, although the duke is of Chinese descent, what can the United States say? The United States is a society governed by the rule of law, and there is no law in the United States that states that American companies cannot be sold to British aristocrats.
After talking about the DaimlerChrysler company, Xu Jianyi continued to talk about the problem of funds, and it is certainly impossible to get Beijiang Heavy Industries and Hengtian Group to contribute, and now they still owe huge loans in the bank.
At the beginning, Wang Batian was ready to sell the Winston family's land, yes, it was for sale rather than mortgage, because Wang Batian felt that these lands were really not very useful.
Many people think that this land is equivalent to the influence of Duke Winston, but in fact this is an idea to cover up and steal the bell, and it is not the 20th century now, and even if you own this land, it does not mean that this land is the territory of the Winston family.
It was just a manifestation of the habitual obedience of the peasants and the self-deception of Duke Winston, and in fact it was not only the Winston family, but also the other nobles. A great deal of wealth is invested in land, in order to prove that he still owns the territory, that he is a true nobleman and not just an honorary title.
Just because of this idea of covering up their ears and stealing the bell, how many aristocrats are struggling to support it, you must know that land is a typical thing with high investment and small return, especially if you are only used to build farms and pastures instead of construction. It only takes one drought to invest a few years of earnings. (To be continued.) )
