Bard and the others met at a family hotel on the edge of the town, and when they really met the capitalists who bought AMC, Hanstedton, who had been a little unruly and planned to teach Lin Johnson a lesson, lost his confidence, and the man who was nearly 1.9 meters old took off his hat and clenched it tightly in the palm of his hand, and he didn't know if he had the courage to punch the other party in the face.

"Hello, Mr. Max! I heard that you have done a very good job at the Kenosha Automobile Factory, and the apprentices you brought out are all good at car assembly! Lin Qiangsheng stood up and walked in front of Bard and said.

Bard looked at the tall Chinese young man, shook hands and looked at him, nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin, we welcome you!" ”

Derek introduced them to other people, and Lin Johnson also met Sabina, a lawyer hired by the workers, and knew from her surname that this lady was also a German, as if the Germans in Weizhou were very high.

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "Hello Ms. Sabina, it just so happens that I also brought a lawyer, and this has really become a formal negotiation!" ”

Sabina said, "Correct, it's Miss Sabina!" ”

She shook hands with Lin Qiangsheng, and then said: "Don't you think this is a negotiation, but what I didn't expect is that the big boss can come to Kenosha in person, and you are much more responsible than Chairman Pierre sitting in a Chicago skyscraper!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the 40-year-old Sabina, a white woman showing her age, plus the fluffy exploding head that was popular in the 80s, making him call the young lady in front of him. It's really hard to get used to for a while.

"Well, Miss Sabina, let's sit down honestly and unfairly. Are you okay with the employment options I've proposed? Lin Qiangsheng asked.

Derek called for a few coffees and said loudly to both sides, "I, Decek County Magistrate, am here, supervising both of you!" This is a rare opportunity, all of you, the management, and the union representatives. And the lawyers on both sides, show your sincerity now, I will never allow it in Kenosha. There was a riot under my rule, and something happened that I didn't want to see! ”

Derek slapped his face and said, "Let's start now!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng didn't care about Derek's hustle and bustle. He held out his hand and invited a few people to take a seat. Two of his attorneys, both from AMC's Chicago headquarters, were seated on either side of Paul White and Esther.

On the other side were Bard Max, who was the workers' representative, and Miss Sabina, the union lawyer, the strong and young Hanst, and two other representatives, Wolfers and Joey. Apparently Bard had his say.

Strangely in American factories, it is often the well-respected representatives of the workers who speak better than the factory managers. On the contrary, the factory director has no status in the factory, and most of them are described as the lackeys of the enterprise, so there is no factory director-like figure on this occasion.

"Sir, are you interested in building a new car factory in Kenosha, how many workers will this plant recruit?" Bard asked Lin Qiangsheng the question he was most concerned about, which was what several other people were most concerned about.

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Yes, I do want to invest in a new car factory, you may not know, I also own another car company, called Lexus, which is a high-end top brand." Previously, I was looking for a suitable factory site, and there are several states that I am very optimistic about, such as California, Virginia, and South Carolina! ”

He looked at the expectant people and said, "To be honest, I didn't think about building a new factory in the local area before, but after coming here, I saw the devastation of the factory closing and the workers losing their jobs in large numbers, I thought maybe I could do something for you!"

I decided to reinvest in a state-of-the-art car factory here and build a production line with an annual output of 30,000 cars, just to produce a top brand car like mine!

The factory can absorb 800 workers, who will work in a brand new workshop, with a very high degree of automation, in brand new overalls. However, I also have requirements, these people have to go through a period of training, and we select qualified workers from them before they can enter the new factory. The training period is 45 days and paid training. After that, the people who go to the new brand car factory will be disassociated from AMC, which is like a player transfer, and I hope that there will be no problems in the process of training, assessing and receiving these people! ”

"Didn't you say you could take in 1,000 workers?" Hanst said suddenly, and everyone looked at Derek.

Facing everyone's gaze, the county magistrate Derek was a little embarrassed, and he said scoundrelly: "I may have heard it wrong, 800 workers are not bad, haha"

He turned his head to Lin Qiangsheng and said loudly: "Hey, Monopoly, tell me about your plan!" He smiled at Bard and the others: "You have met a good boss, he is a great man!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said to Bard and the others: "I'm a good person, but that doesn't mean I'm a fool!" I hope you will seize the opportunity and choose your own path, the new factory must have a new order, and the Lexus brand is a high-end top car brand, it is my important development strategy, I will not allow anything to affect it, this new car factory must be of high standards and strict requirements! ”

He raised his hand and pressed Bard, who was about to speak, and said, "But don't worry, I'll also invest in a paper mill, a milk company, a slaughterhouse, and a food processing plant for the workers who weren't selected for the new factory!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said with a little self-confidence: "These investments can completely absorb the remaining workers, so that everyone in the Kenosha Automobile Plant has a job, there is no problem at all!" ”

Wolfers wondered, "Can't you continue to invest in the Kenosha Automobile Plant?" Why close! ”

Lin Qiangsheng kept silent, and Paul White took over and said: "The Kenosha Automobile Plant has no investment value at all, the equipment is old, the operating costs are too high, and the company has decided to close this factory!" ”

Joey said unconvinced: "Hmph, I'm afraid we're workers too!" ”

While Joey is half right, the other half is that there are no more workers needed to renew the equipment, and moving the factory to an area with lower labor costs is also a good way to reduce operating costs!

But Paul White couldn't say that, he argued, "No, AMC doesn't dislike you!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng raised his hand to interrupt Paul's words, and he said to Bard and others: "The U.S. economy has re-emerged, and now the price of oil has also fallen, AMC's past models were mainly compact cars, with poor quality and low grade, but the Japanese have done a better job in this regard, so the only department that AMC can make a profit at present is the Cherokee plant!" ”

He spread his hands and said: "This is something that can't be helped, AMC must continue to survive, otherwise everyone can only watch it go out of business!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng continued: "My idea is that the Kenosha Automobile Plant will be closed to reduce the burden on the AMC, and I will arrange your jobs!" ”

He said to Bard and the others, "That's a good solution, isn't it?" The demand for paper and meat and dairy products will certainly rise sharply as the U.S. economy re-emerges. And my hometown of China, with a population of more than 1 billion, consumes a lot of paper, meat and dairy, but this demand has not yet been opened, this is a big market!

With China's economic development, the people's material needs are bound to increase geometrically, Wisconsin is a state of dairy cows, a state of paper industry, developed animal husbandry, and rich forestry resources!

We can create a food brand and a paper brand, or even go out of Wisconsin and set up branches in other states in the United States, and I plan to spend $200 million on these two industries, which will be two large companies that can solve a lot of employment problems, I promise! ”

Bard looked at Lin Qiangsheng in surprise, he was shocked by the young man's words. If the two industries are really as good as he described, they are really a good way to solve the employment problem of workers in automobile factories!

But in fact, they didn't have Lin Qiangsheng's calculations clearly, compared with the negative impact of the $200 million spent on the dismissal of workers on the company and himself, it is more cost-effective to use the money to invest in other industries, so as to digest these workers!

Hanst said humbly, "That, sir! We have a lot of cattle in Wisconsin, but can you really make money investing in this industry? Will the Chinese buy our beef? Besides, if we sell meat and milk to China, who will sell it? If, as you said, our beef and milk can be sold to China, then the price of our beef and milk will not rise? My kids can't live without them! (To be continued.) )
