Piziani, who was still secretly happy in his heart, was as cold as if he had been poured a basin of cold water after listening to Tang Bao's proposal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It looks very simple, but each of the three conditions is more tricky than the other.

"How...... Could it be that Mr. Governor can't even agree to this condition? Tang Bao stared at Piziani, who was speechless, and asked in a cold voice.

Piziani hurriedly smiled, "Of course not! ”

Then.

He said with an embarrassed face, "Mr. Tang, you also have to be considerate of our difficulties." Not all of the original management team of Pat Mining were black sheep, and there was no major fault for those who still stuck to their posts. Isn't it inappropriate to dismiss all of them without distinction? In the case of privatized companies, there are no cases where the entire management has been eliminated. ”

Previously, Pat Mining was a powder keg, no one could predict what would explode, and the company's top management was eager to leave. However, these management are very well-informed, and after learning the news that Tang Bao, the world's second richest man, has acquired Pat Mining, the idea of transferring suddenly changed to a strong desire to stay.

Well.

For Piziani, the management positions of Pat Mining are not very high, but they are both local forces in Minas Gerais, and their relationship is complicated. If he directly agreed to Tang Bao's dismissal of all the incumbent executives, it would damage the interests of a group of people.

If he wants to secure the throne as governor of Minas Gerais, he must balance the interests of all forces, otherwise he will not be able to move an inch.

"This ......"

Tang Bao frowned, tangled.

Hey.

Seeing Tang Bao's hesitant face, Piziani couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and secretly said that this should be negotiable, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Suddenly replacing all the management will definitely paralyze Pat Mining and be chaotic." Moreover, it may be difficult for Mr. Tang to find so many suitable senior executives to replace him in a short period of time. Managers at the grassroots level can be promoted from ordinary employees, but it is very difficult for middle and high-level managers to be promoted internally......"

Well.

Tang Bao nodded silently in his heart, he agreed with Piziani's reason. However, leaving the original management, even if it is only the remaining management that has been investigated and cleaned up by the state government, will have great hidden dangers...... He is not naïve to think that those who are not purged are innocent people.

"Uh-huh......" When Tang Bao was embarrassed, Asley suddenly snorted softly and said. Boss, as for the handling of the original management of Pat Mining, I think it is better to stay for the time being and set up a six-month inspection period. Half a year is enough time for the original management to adapt to the new company culture and show their abilities, and it is not too late to fire if they do not pass the appraisal period! ”

Tang Bao's eyes suddenly lit up, nodded and said, "Ha, you are the president of the American Investment Group, so you will implement your plan." ”

Then he turned his gaze to Piziani and said, "What do you see, Mr. Governor? ”

"Good, good. This scheme makes sense! Piziani replied with a satisfied smile that he only needed to get the management to stay at Pat Mining, and he didn't care if he would be fired in the future. Half a year later, if someone fails to pass the assessment and is fired, they can only blame themselves for their incompetence.

Call.

Tang Bao and Piziani agreed, and Asley, the proposer of the suggestion, breathed a sigh of relief. Frankly speaking, when Tang Bao directly proposed to dismiss all the original management, no matter what the reason, Asley did not agree with it in his heart, but fortunately, Piziani stood up and argued.

Asley's reasoning is simple: Pat Mining's management is mostly local to Minas Gerais and has a relatively wide range of contacts, leaving them to help, and the newcomer Americas Group can more easily and smoothly control Pat Mining and adapt to the Brazilian business environment. On the other hand, a direct dismissal will not only plunge Pat Mining into chaos, but may also offend a group of local "elites" and provoke unexpected hostility.

"Uh...... Pat Mining may have a bit of a lot of employees, well, I don't have a problem with restricting salary and benefits, and I can negotiate with the union organization slowly. However, I hope that Mr. Tang will not make layoffs after he buys Pat Mining! Piziani said in a deep voice.

Pat Mining employs nearly 20,000 people, and if there are a large number of layoffs, it will inevitably cause discontent among the trade unions, and a strike frenzy will inevitably break out at that time. It's just a pure strike protest, just be patient, anyway, strikes and demonstrations often break out all over Brazil.

But.

Pat Mining is different. Representatives of trade unions are aware of the hidden corruption and corruption cases in Pat Mining, and his one-sided agreement to squeeze and lay off employees is likely to cause the union to jump over the wall and expose shady scenes. What's more, the social and political status of the trade union organization is quite high, and Piziani does not dare to offend to death.

"Trade union organization ......" Thinking of this problem, Tang Bao had a headache. Both his own investigation and what he has seen since coming to Brazil have been deeply aware of the difficulties of trade unions.

As strong as Vale, the behemoth that monopolizes the mining, transportation and export of Brazil's iron ore resources has to be prepared for the trade unions. When Vale planned to acquire Pat Mining, Arnold, as the vice president of Vale, had to come to negotiate with the union leaders in person.

Tang Bao and the American Investment Group, as outsiders, have no confidence! Brazil is not the same as domestic, and foreign businessmen are not eligible for supra-national treatment.

But.

A headache is a headache, even if you don't want to face it, you have to fight for what you should fight.

Listening to Piziani's tone, it seemed that he did not mean to assist him in negotiating with the union, and even wanted to leave it clean and stay out of the matter.

That's not going to work!

"Heh, Pat Mining, which has an annual output of just over two million tons of ore, employs nearly 20,000 people, is that just a bit much? That's a lot of staggering! Tang Bao shouted, "No layoffs......?" Mr. Governor, what are you asking me to take to feed them and continue to inject money to raise them into a bunch of moths that don't work for nothing? Layoffs and salary cuts are indispensable. And it has to be coordinated by the government of Minas Gerais! You know, collective bargaining is never pleasant, and without the state government acting as a lubricant for negotiations, I'm afraid there will be conflict. ”

"This ......"

Pizianidon felt big. He didn't want to get involved, but he was worried that Tang Bao and the trade union organization would have a fierce dispute and expose the corruption scandal of Pat Mining.

Helpless.

He could only say, "Mr. Tang, the state government is happy to act as a mediator for negotiations. Ordinary workers in Brazil have a hard time, and I ask you not to be too harsh in your negotiations. I think that Mr. Tang risked inflation to invest in Brazil, not looking at the immediate gains and losses, but the long-term gains. ”

Scold.

Tang Bao smiled and said nothing, he admitted that Piziani was right, but business is business, and the interests that should be fought for must be fought for. He could not sympathize with the hardships of ordinary Brazilian workers, and he would harm his own interests. There are people with a hard life everywhere, which round will he take care of?

Let alone......

Even if Tang Bao is interested, he will also target China. The country's economy is lagging behind, with dilapidated roads, no electricity in most areas, countless school-age children having difficulty attending school, and hundreds of millions of people living below the poverty line. He doesn't even have the energy to take care of the predicament at home, so how can he care about Brazil's life or death......

But.

Tang Bao also understands that despite his tough attitude, this labor negotiation is destined to be a protracted battle, and it is difficult to predict the outcome. There are countless examples of Fortune 500 multinational companies falling into the sand in foreign countries, and Tang Bao does not dare to guarantee that he will not become one of them.

Capital support is important, however, capital is not everything!

Let's be honest.

Don't look at Tang Bao's continuous acquisitions and investments without blinking, he seems to be full of confidence, but in fact, he is also a little worried in his heart, and the American Investment Group will not adapt to the soil. At night, when no one is around, he lies in bed and constantly recalls the development of Japanese companies in Brazil in his previous life, hoping to be inspired by it!

Pity......

Tang Bao can remember very little content, he only remembers that the Japanese company secretly invested in Vale, and even infiltrated the management.

Everything else is a blur!

"Huh. Mr. Tang, this problem cannot be solved in a few words, and the leaders of the trade union organization of Pat Mining are not here, so it is meaningless for us to talk about anything. On the issue of salary reduction and layoffs, we will arrange another time to negotiate! Tang Bao was silent and did not respond, the atmosphere gradually stiffened a little, and Piziani had to smile and suggest.

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded dryly. "Asley will take over the negotiations with the leaders of the trade union organization, and I may not have time to participate in the ......."

Tang Bao was a little secretly glad in his heart, glad that he didn't have to face the trade union organization, and he didn't have to fight with the other party and fight a war of words.

on this.

Asley didn't react unusually, he knew that dealing with the union was a problem, but since he decided to come to Brazil to take over the Americas Investment Group, he was naturally aware of the difficulties.

……

Then.

Tang Bao rushed to bargain with Piziani before he said bluntly: "Mr. Governor, the third condition is not negotiable, and the state government must approve the five mining licenses as soon as possible." Otherwise, the acquisition of Pat Mining will be stopped! ”

"Yes, the boss is right! As far as I know, many of Pat Mining's mining areas have been leased out and have suffered from chaotic mining for a long time, with serious ore loss. The real iron ore reserves may have been less than 200 million tons long ago, and if there is no new mining area to replenish it, Pat Mining is likely to decline directly! In my opinion, the approval of the five mining licenses that have been applied for a long time ago is only the most basic ...... Pat Mining also needs more exploration rights. Asley said.

Forehead.

The corners of Piziani's mouth twitched slightly, Tang Bao behaved very strongly, and Asley, who was a subordinate, was even more ruthless.

"It's true that Pat Mining has been in chaos for a long time, but there is not much iron ore lost. Even if there are no 200 million tons of remaining reserves, it will not be much lower. Moreover, three of the five mining licenses of Pat Mining were applied for by executives in violation of regulations in the name of the company...... "He has learned that the reserves of the mining area included in the five mining licenses are as high as more than 100 million tons, and if all of them are approved, it is equivalent to giving Tang Bao 100 million tons of iron ore directly.
