Chapter 377: Blue Eyes

Spring Hill, Tennessee, Saturn Motors Headquarters, Chairman's Office, "Chairman, are you looking for me?" Helen Lacey, general manager of human resources and public relations, is still arrogant, standing at Jiang Yelin's desk after entering the door and has no intention of sitting down, not to mention that he is covered in thorns, at least he has a respectful attitude towards the young Wall Street pride in front of him, the chairman of Saturn Motors was previously concurrently served by John Francis Smith, president and CEO of the parent company General Motors, of course, now that Saturn Motors has been listed through the IPO, the relationship with General Motors is from the parent company and the subsidiary, Transform into a relationship between a controlling shareholder and an independent listed company. "You may be seated, Miss Lacey...... I'm sorry, but I, the chairman, am still alone, and I don't take care of it well, tea or coffee? Jiang Yelin smiled and got up and asked Helen Lacie to sit down, while personally walking to the side of the glass cabinet to prepare to pour tea or a cup of coffee for the other party, the integrated coffee machine placed on the cabinet can provide both hot and cold water, but also provide three flavors of steaming coffee, the young chairman's posture at this moment is much more amiable than the first meeting three days ago, in fact, Jiang Yelin only flew back to Chunshan City from New York this morning. Thank you, no need, chairman, if you have something, please command, if it's okay, I'm going back to work......" The vigilance and pickiness in Helen Lacey's eyes did not decrease a few points with Jiang Yelin's enthusiasm, in her opinion, Wall Street fund managers and brokers are all villains who eat people and don't spit out bones, as for the Chinese dual-nationality Wall Street wolf in front of him, what do he want from herself? Be wary of men who have nothing to do, from the age of 12 to now, for 20 years, Helen Lacey has spent her time in the wolf-like eyes of suitors and admirers of the opposite sex. "Huh, really? That's a good ......" Jiang Yelin reluctantly took a cup of coffee for himself, took the large chair behind the desk, sat on the chair and looked at the white-collar beauty opposite the desk, if Songdao and Bai Suzhen belong to the Oriental beauties who can score 9 points, the 32-year-old blue-eyed and black-haired and snow-skinned girl in front of her belongs to the West-beauty who can score 9 points, in fact, Greece does not produce beauties, Helen is a typical Nordic European woman, and she is only afraid that her figure is at least 176 cm, which is taller than Bai Suzhen and Songdao, When he stepped on high heels, he was on an equal footing with Jiang Yelin, who was 183 cm tall. "Then I'll be straight to the point, Miss Lacey, what do you think is the role of a chairman in a public company? I am not satisfied with you and said, I am still chasing ducks on the shelf for the first time, you are the director of human resources, compared to knowing what the chairman should do, please give me advice......" Jiang Yelin took a sip of coffee, half of his attention was on the computer monitors lined up on the desk, and the remaining half of his attention was focused on the blue-eyed beauty. "As far as the current operation of Saturn Motors is concerned, the chairman of the board of directors had better do nothing, of course, if it can bring convenience and help to the company in terms of financing, it is also something that everyone likes to see and look forward to, but the automobile manufacturing industry is a real real economy, and your Wall Street investment banks and funds are completely two worlds, I believe that the management and employees of Saturn are not afraid that you don't want to do something as the chairman, just afraid that you have to do something on a whim, I don't mean to be disrespectful to you when I say this, But that's exactly what happened! “

Helen Lacey is a descendant of General Motors, 52-year-old Lacey Daddy is still a senior vice president of General Motors, responsible for the entire General Motors human resources and employee relations department, Merrill Lynch has made Saturn Motors go public is a great event, but because Saturn Motors did not issue incremental shares when it went public, and there was no time to launch the employee and executive stock ownership plan, therefore, The Saturn Motors listing only allowed General Motors to return $2.511 billion in funds, and did not bring additional help to Saturn Motors' cash flow, and the plan to increase production capacity is obviously empty without capital investment, and for the 8,000 auto workers at the Saturn Automobile Factory, the new production capacity means that new recruits are needed, and this will obviously affect the stability of their own jobs...... Even, higher work intensity and lower welfare packages are not ruled out. "Straight enough, Miss Lacey, may I call you Helen?" Jiang Yelin didn't care about the other party's cold attitude and straightforward squeeze, and asked with a smile. "Friends call me Helen, but chairman, it's a pity that now we have a superior-subordinate relationship instead of a friend relationship, you still call me Miss Laixi I listen more comfortable......" Helen Laixi didn't give Jiang Yelin a chance to get closer, but Jiang Yelin didn't lose his temper angrily, which made the girl a little surprised, I don't know how the ability of this handsome Chinese chairman is, at least if you cultivate kung fu, it's not bad...... "Okay, Miss Laixi, if I understand correctly, you want me to be the chairman, Think of yourself as an honorable position in a Saturn company? Jiang Yelin's eyes were aggressive on the blue-eyed beauty opposite, Helen Lacey seemed to feel his gaze, leaned over in the chair, and then said without being arrogant or humble, "Saturn Motors has always been the president and CEO responsible for the day-to-day operation and management, of course, it must be reported to the board of directors, but the chairman is actually an honorary position, that is, General Motors itself, and Chairman Owen Bieber will not interfere in the company's daily operations......"

Helen Lacey's implication is very clear, Jiang Yelin, the chairman, should not regard himself as the emperor and dictator of Saturn Motors, it would be good if he could raise low-cost financing for Saturn Motors from Wall Street, and it would be impossible for other companies to operate and be convincing to outsiders, not to mention that the executives of Saturn Motors were all born in General Motors, at least such as Helen Lacey has also worked in General Motors for 10 years, and the mustachioed chairman in front of him is just a newcomer who was born out of nowhere and stepped into the workplace for half a year. No matter how lucky you are, there will be times when you run out. "Miss Lacey, I can understand your Autobots' feelings for Saturn Motors, but feelings alone can't solve the problem, I am the chairman of this Saturn Motors, and I made a military order at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting, and the market value of Saturn Motors will reach 30 billion within three years, with the current total share capital of 1.8 billion shares, the price per share will reach 16 US dollars, which is quadrupling compared to the current stock price, and I will remove him mercilessly if any obstacle that affects me to achieve this goal!"

Jiang Yelin's words did not make Helen Lacey, a Harvard senior with a double doctorate, vivid, the blue-eyed beauty smiled slightly, and said softly, "I know that the chairman is a genius manager on Wall Street, and the daily trading volume of Saturn Motors has shrunk to about 20 million shares, if you rely on the power of chips and funds, it is not impossible to pull the stock price up to $16 a share in three years, but that has no practical significance, the automobile manufacturing industry is a very mature industry in the world and the United States, if the production and sales volume, market share." If the sales revenue and net profit indicators can't go up, the Saturn car with a market value of 30 billion is just a cowhide and joke in the investment market, and it is likely that the driving force behind it will become the focus of the US Securities and Exchange Commission! “

"You are right, market value does not mean a qiē, production and sales and market share, sales revenue and net profit, and the dividend at the end of the year is what really reflects the goal and value, but I have already made it clear, Miss Lacey, as the chairman, I shoulder the responsibilities entrusted to me by all shareholders and the board of directors, I will not sit idly by, any obstacles that hinder me from achieving the goal of the Territory Star Automobile will be removed by me, so, what you just mentioned was vetoed by me, are you willing to stand with me to face the challenges of the future?"

Jiang Yelin's question was a bit direct, Helen Lacey didn't know how to answer for a while, the beauty with a slight frown looked like a charm, and after a while, the Harvard talented girl said slowly, "As the general manager of human resources and public relations, I should report to the company's president and CEO, Mr. Hudel, can I understand that you plan to personally intervene in the daily operation and management of Saturn Motors?" ”

So, as the general manager of human resources and public relations, and as a Harvard Ph.D. genius with a decade of automotive career, do you think the current president and CEO of Saturn Motors is competent? Don't say that in the past three years, the production capacity of Saturn Motors has increased to 150,000 units per year, and the gross profit has reached 17%, and it has been 11 years since Saturn Motors proposed the project, but it took 8 years to officially put into production. ”

Jiang Yelin directly put the problem in front of Helen Lacey, from the analysis of information obtained from different channels, among the executives of Saturn Motors, Helen Lacey belongs to the background of the General Motors headquarters, while the president and CEO Deng Hudell and CFO Moncent, the manufacturing manager Caye Lao and others formed the Tennessee local gang, and the other group is the general manager of the R&D department Jill and the general manager of the marketing department Dennis Sweet......

"As a subordinate of Mr. Huddle, I can't judge the president and CEO of Saturn Motors in front of you, the facts are in front of you, you can draw your own conclusions......" Harvard beauties played tai chi, jokes, a subordinate who casually accuses his boss will not become a convincing good subordinate, not to mention, although Huddle is conservative but not dictatorial, Saturn Motors' 17% gross profit margin is definitely a proud capital, and the credit of the old Huddle cannot be erased.

"Well, while I don't know if Mr. Hudell is a competent President and CEO, Miss Lacey, you are obviously not a competent General Manager of Human Resources and Public Relations, because you don't even have a good relationship with me, the Chairman!" Jiang Yelin sneered.
