Chapter 654: AMC's Dilemma

Mr. Lin also personally joined the management of AMC, and although the company is headquartered in Chicago, he chose to work in the factory in New York State, which is more directly close to the company.

Both DΓ©dwardet and CaptΓ© submitted their resignations to him, and DΓ©dwardet was ready to return to France, where the old man was likely to end his working life and choose to retire. During his time at AMC, he simplified the management methods of the company, proposed a series of improvements to the factory, including cost and quality control, the businessman and engineer with 28 years of experience said goodbye to the company, and Lin Johnson politely blessed the French.

And Kaipei is because Lin Qiangsheng has no exit to stay, in this case he has no reason to stay, he happily submitted his resignation, and after the two sides shook hands, he left the company and went to find another high.

Claire was promoted to president of the company by Johnson Lin, and Representative Foley stayed, both of whom have many years of experience in the automotive industry, and are both in their early 50s, which is the stage when Iacocca took over Chrysler at the age of 52, and he led Chrysler to re-emerge in the 80s, which is the same age group as them. Moreover, Lin Qiangsheng has no better and more suitable candidates now, so he took the initiative to retain the two.

At present, AMC has many problems, first of all, there is a lack of investment in the research and development of new models, and at present, the American automobile company has only one Cherokee model that is selling well, and the other sales results are not satisfactory.

In 1985, the market began to abandon AMC, and as the price of oil fell, Americans turned to bigger, more powerful cars, and AMC was unprepared for it, which had been producing compact cars and was now losing money in almost every division of its production line except for the Jeep factory, which made money. Its model market share is already less than 1.6%!

Lin Qiangsheng never expected that this company would actually be so declining!

What's more, now that the Jeep model has broken the news of the danger of rollover, AMC is even worse, sometimes Lin Qiangsheng really has the feeling of lifting a stone to hit his feet, and it hurts!

"Claire, are these the people who submitted their resignations?" Lin Johnson walked into Claire's office. At this time, the new general manager was anxious, and there were two large cardboard boxes on the table, which were full of resignation letters.

Claire hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, Mr. Lin, many supervisors in important positions have submitted their resignations to me!" ”

After Lin Qiangsheng waved his hand to let Claire sit down, he picked up a letter of resignation and opened it and glanced at it, then threw it into the box and said: "People like this don't have to hesitate, if they don't want to stay, there is no need to stay, let them leave AMC happily!" ”

"But. I think there are still a lot of very good people that the company needs, like this Frenchman, Pierre Samorina, is the former executive director, he is very talented, I think it is a big loss for you to lose him! Claire was shocked when she heard that Lin Qiangsheng didn't want to keep talents, and he hurriedly recommended someone to Lin Qiangsheng.

Lin Qiangsheng also knows that he is a Chinese, and American society naturally despises Chinese Americans. Many Americans don't believe in the capabilities of the Chinese.

AMC has recently set off a wave of distrust of its management, and rumors are rife. They all said that the new boss would close the old Kenosha factory in Wisconsin, and that eventually the young Chinese would bring down AMC!

This made it even worse for many AMC employees who lacked confidence, and many people who had no intention of staying have submitted resignation letters, so Claire has gathered so many resignation applications here!

Lin Qiangsheng took the envelope he handed over and asked, "Is this Pierre very capable?" ”

Claire nodded solemnly and said, "Sir." Pierre is really capable, and I even think he is more suitable for the position of president than me! ”

"Oh?" Lin Qiangsheng was shocked.

"Sir, Pierre is preparing to return to France, and if you want to keep him, you'd better get rid of him as soon as possible!" Claire said anxiously.

Lin Qiangsheng remembered that in history, many of Chrysler's later senior executives were former AMC employees. So he nodded and said to Claire: "That's it, you come forward for me and let him come to the company to see me!" ”

Claire was happy, and he hurriedly said: "I'll call Pierre now, sir, he is really more suitable for the position of president than me!" ”

"Excuse me, Mr. Claire?" The female secretary held a large cardboard box and knocked on the door cautiously.

Claire smiled helplessly when she saw another box, patted her forehead and said, "Oh my God, there are too many people leaving, I'm really afraid that there will be an empty shell left in AMC overnight!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled at the female secretary and said, "Christina, you can send the box to my office, and I will help Mr. Claire share it!" ”

Christina, who had an unusually plump upper circumference, was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and had brown hair, and she nodded and said, "Yes, sir! ”

Lin Qiangsheng picked up the two boxes on the table and looked at a pair of envelopes on Claire's desk, obviously these were what he wanted to keep, so he said: "Claire, you can find a way to keep these capable employees now, they can talk to me directly!" ”

Claire excitedly said, "Yes, sir! I'll persuade them to stay! ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head with some regret, it is really a headache to run such a big old company in the United States!

"Sir, do you want to put it here?" Christina put the cardboard box on the chairman's desk, this large office originally belonged to Dadewadai, but now there is a young Chinese sitting here, the huge AMC was also bought by this person, she also felt extremely novel, and shocked!

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Put it here, Christina, please help me pour me a cup of coffee, thank you!" ”

Christina asked Lin Qiangsheng about his taste, poured a cup of black coffee, and after putting it on the table, she did not exit the door, but hesitated and looked at Lin Qiangsheng and asked, "Sir, don't you have any ideas about the current AMC?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at her and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Christina shook her head and said, "I mean, you should send exciting news to your employees, announce plans to develop new models and solve problems within the company, there are so many things that can be done!" ”

Looking at Christina, who was slightly excited, Lin Qiangsheng stood up and walked around the table, handed the coffee to her hand and asked her to sit down, and asked, "Christina, tell me what you think!" ”

Christina looked at the three large cardboard boxes on the table, and then said: "Although so many people have left AMC, I never thought that a company as big as AMC would not collapse, unless the management can't!" ”

She then said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Sir, I really never thought that I would leave AMC one day, my home is in this town, and there are many people in the company who are ordinary countrymen like me, we hope that AMC can get better, don't worry about work every day like now!" ”

She watched Lin Qiangsheng stand up excitedly and said, "Sir, since the company has been acquired by you, please work hard to make this company stand up again!"

I, Christina, believe that AMC will recover, I don't want to lose my job here, I still have a family and lovely children, please don't let AMC go on like this! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded in a daze, and after a while, when Christina became more and more nervous, he reached out and patted her gently, and said, "I understand, thank you, Christina!" ”

He then patted the cardboard box and said to her, "Now, you go and call some people to see if there are some talents in these resignation letters that the company needs, and we can keep them!" ”

Christina put the coffee on the table in surprise and panicked, and said, "Sir, I'll go now!" ”

Looking at the back of the girl in a hurry, Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "It seems that we will continue to invest more, which is a bit beyond the plan!" (To be continued.) )
