Chapter 383: It's Settled
Spring Hill, Tennessee, USA, Saturn Motors Headquarters, Chairman's Office
Chairman ...... Miss Lacey said let me be your temporary secretary and assistant, and the human resources department is already in full swing to recruit a full secretary, but it will not be so fast for a while...... My name is Jessica Abel, I am 26 years old, I graduated from college 4 years ago and joined the Saturn Motor Company, and I have been Miss Lacey's personal assistant before...... "There was a blonde girl holding Wen Jiàn with a ponytail at the door of the office, and the professional skirt didn't seem to stop the girl's youthful vitality.
"Well, Helen's assistant? Don't say I really think you're Helen's sister, look like it, but I want to grieve you for a few days, although my chairman's office doesn't have a separate secretary's room, but I don't need such a big room, you call human resources logistics near the door to re-partition the chairman's office, from now on you also serve as the chairman's office director, if there are not enough people, then assign yourself an intern assistant or something...... Mr. Dun-Hudell, please, come to me......"
Jiang Yelin, as the chairman, has to show his humility and posture when he speaks, but Jessica Albert's beautiful appearance and free conversation obviously make Wall Street pride feel pleasing to the eye, it seems that Helen Lacey wants to carry out the beauty route to the end, and at this time she knows that she has to take care of all aspects of her chairman, so that Saturn Motors and herself will have a better future.
"Okay...... Chairman, I'm going to ask Mr. Hudell to ...... "Jessica Abel obviously knows that her boss Helen is about to take over as the president of Saturn Motors, and her enthusiasm for work is extremely high, not to mention, if you can seize the opportunity to become the secretary of the chairman and the director of the office who has not yet made any establishment, her future in Saturn Motors is obviously bright.
"Wait, forget it, you better ask someone to clean up the office first, I'll go find Hudell myself......" Jiang Yelin closed the computer market display terminal lined up on the table, got up and left his office, Jessica Abel leaned in the door to get out of the way, when the two passed by, they both smelled the mysterious smell of the opposite sex on each other, Jessica's pink face turned red unnaturally, Jiang Yelin smiled and waved his hand, didn't say anything, turned around and went along the corridor to Hudel's president's office.
"Hi, Django, I was just going to find you......" When Jiang Yelin entered the door, Hudel's female secretary outside the door was not even in her seat, Jiang Yelin copied a text from the desk and held it in his hand, just to make a prop, I didn't expect to bump into Huder as soon as I entered the door, this master is not relying on the old and selling the old, but Jiang Yelin just flew back from New York and made continuous appointments to meet with the general manager of human resources and public relations and the general manager of the R&D department. This made Hudel, the current president and CEO, feel upset for no reason, and he was about to take the initiative to meet the chairman who was 20 years younger than him, okay, and almost bumped into him at the door.
"Haha, Mr. Hudell, I'm in a mess over there, so I'm just coming to you, how about it, it's convenient now?" Jiang Yelin smiled and hugged the shoulders of an old man who was staggering, and while talking, the two of them returned to the president's office, and after the guests and hosts were seated separately, Hudel stabilized his mind, got up and walked to the glass cabinet on the side, turned his head and asked with a smile, "Have a drink?" ”
"Ha, no, I don't drink when I'm working, and it's not time for lunch yet......" Jiang Yelin's refusal chuckled in Hudel's heart, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed and impressive, the 45-year-old current president doesn't smoke much, but he likes what is in the cup, of course, he can also drink, Huder was almost the boss of NO1 before the Saturn car, who would care if he had a drink in the office to lift his spirits or something, right?
"It's also said that young people are not a good habit to be greedy for cups, I can't help it, when preparing for the Saturn car, staying up late and working overtime is too bad, or I can't lift my spirits if I don't drink two sips...... Chairman, I saw Helen and Jill go to your office to report to your office before, I wonder if their expressions still satisfy you? Hudel sat down on the sofa and asked with a smile as he pulled out his cigar cigarette, trying to make Jiang Yelin understand that anything that happened in the Saturn car could not be hidden from the eyes of the president and CEO.
"Thank you, I've been quitting smoking recently, I've been a trapeze artist back and forth all day, I don't have time to exercise and exercise, so I smoke less...... Is smoking bad for your health...... Please ...... yourself" Jiang Yelin shook his hand and rejected the Havana cigar handed over by Hudel, making the atmosphere between the two even more strange.
"What is the chairman looking for me?" Huddle took back the cigar cigarette, lit it for himself and took a deep breath, the aroma of the cigar spread in the office, as if a layer of mist obscured the sight between the two, a 25-year-old chairman, a 45-year-old senior executive of General Motors, is now in a confrontational position, of course, what Hudell didn't expect was that the chairman not only wanted to monopolize power, but also did not even leave the position of honorary president for himself.
"Okay, I'm straight to the point, Mr. Huddle, as the current President and CEO, do you think the performance target set by the Board for the year is achievable? That is, production capacity, sales revenue, and net profit indicators have doubled on the basis of last year...... "Jiang Yelin directly put the problem out.
"Uh, Django, this is exactly the problem that has plagued me for several days, Saturn Motors was built in 82, officially built in 85, and it was not until July 90 that the first Saturn car officially came off the production line, to say that this year to double production capacity, I think it is completely unrealistic fantasy, for the IPO listing as a promotional slogan is of course understandable, but as a performance and performance indicator to bet on the company's management, I don't think it can be achieved at all......" Hudell spread his hands, trying to make himself look a little more honest, Don't let the young people in front of you think that they are just bargaining with him or teaching people a lesson, you know, the automobile industry is not the kind of technology company in Silicon Valley, the growth will be very rapid at the beginning when the foundation is low, the automobile industry is a completely competitive industry, every car is screwed out one by one, bragging about not paying taxes, how easy is it to double production capacity?!
"Really can't be done? Not a chance at all? I've made a military order at the shareholders' meeting, and if I don't succeed, you're not going to watch me jump into the fire and become a phoenix, are you? Jiang Yelin looked at his opponent who was 20 years older than him with a smile.
"Then I really can't help it, you are the chairman, you represent the board of directors and are accountable to the shareholders, the indicator of doubling every year may be found in technology companies, or in the first three years of the factory, for example, we produced 50,000 Saturn cars in 90 years, and 100,000 in 91 years, that is to double, but in 92 years, we only produced 150,000 Saturn cars with all our efforts, and now the entire production line is saturated in three shifts, not to mention doubling, even if we increase production capacity by 10%, we can't do it. Unless we expand the plant and equipment to recruit new people, but it takes time to do that, and it will definitely not be completed in the remaining 10 months of this year, when we built the factory to put it into production, it took us 5 years, the Japanese and Koreans are more efficient than us, but it will take at least 3 years to build a factory in North America, and you will have to double the production capacity in just one year...... No one can do it if you change it! ”
Hudell shook his head, and said that he thought he was very sincere, our buddies don't give you face as the new chairman, indeed, your old man is a little too high, and the slogan is certainly right to shout to Wall Street investors, but you can't really strangle your neck and go forward, the Arabian Nights performance indicators who promise to do it, anyway, I don't have the ability!
"Mr. Hudell, are you sure that you will not be able to lead the Territory Star Motors to achieve the current year's performance targets set by the Board of Directors?" Jiang Yelin groaned and asked, Hudel was stunned when he heard this, but how could he retreat when he got to this point? The president and CEO had a stiff neck, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter who it is, it can't lead the Territory Star Automobile to achieve this ungodly performance goal!" ”
"Okay, I see, Mr. Hudel, I am completely clear about your position, but in that case, I will have to replace people, a president and CEO who cannot lead the team to achieve the performance goals of the board of directors is obviously not what Saturn Automobile, a newly listed company, needs, I hope you will take the initiative to resign, otherwise, I can only use the capacity and authority of the chairman to dismiss your employment and position......" When Jiang Yelin said this, his tone was low, as if with a trace of irresistible oppression.
"I can't accept such treatment, it's completely unfair, Mr.Ye, you put forward a completely unrealistic goal, and then ask me to complete it, and if I can't complete it, you will dismiss me, this is completely bandit logic, you are this indicator, no one on the planet can complete it! If you change to a small Japan, you can't do it, unless you spend a lot of money to merge and acquire other automobile companies regardless of the cost, but the car assets that can be bought at this time are all non-performing assets, and it is too late to retransform and integrate, not to mention the doubling of sales revenue and profits that year, and it is a miracle that the acquired manufacturing plant can not lose money in the first year! ”
Deng Hudel's face turned red and he stood up and roared, his garlic nose looked more red than usual, but Jiang Yelin smiled slightly, "Mr. Hudel, please be calm, I do not deny your contribution to Saturn Motors, in order to give full play to your financial advantages, I am ready to ask the board of directors to appoint you as the chairman of the Financial Planning Committee, you are still a director of Saturn Motors, and the existing annual salary and various benefits are still the same, do you think this condition is acceptable?" ”
"Really? Not bluffing me?! Deng Hudel was like a drowning man who grabbed a life-saving straw, especially when he heard that he retained his status as a director and became the chairman of the Financial Planning Committee, and his salary and benefits remained unchanged, he was greatly relieved, whether it was a major shareholder or Wall Street, the choice between the smug chairman and his middle-aged lewd man was beyond doubt, Hudell felt that the other party was not in a hurry, and after a long time of fighting in his head, he finally sighed and agreed to Jiang Yelin's quid pro quo.
