As a qualified boss, John certainly doesn't get stingy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition to the gifts of a few thousand dollars per family, John also cashed in on the spot the biggest gift to these people - shares in the company they managed! According to the original employment agreement, as long as the company they manage is running well and achieving certain goals, the management will receive 1% of the shares every year, up to the maximum of 10%!

Of all the executives, there are quite a few people who have achieved this.

For example, Taylor, who manages the pharmaceutical company, and Henry, who manages the car company? Ford, which now owns 10 percent of the shares. These shares, which bring them good returns every year. Therefore, for these executives, no matter how high the salary is, it is limited after all, and the pursuit of more share awards is the ultimate need. So after giving the gifts, John signed a share transfer agreement with several executives on the spot - although these shares cannot be transferred, and they must be sold to John after leaving or retiring in the future, but the real benefits are visible to everyone.

In addition to share awards, of course, year-end bonuses are also indispensable.

For example, some of the work is also quite good, but because of the development strategy and affected the year-end dividend executives, John is also very generous to send a year-end bonus, less than five figures, more even six figures, for a time everyone is happy, each has a gain.

After issuing shares and year-end bonuses, the next thing is to get to the point.

"Gentlemen!"

After looking around, John suddenly said, "This morning we looked back on the past, so this afternoon, we are going to look to the future!" ”

Hearing this, the living room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone knows that the main topic of today's meeting is here. The situation of each company can be reported separately, and because of the existence of the accounting team, John only needs to look at the financial statements, so he specially called them all here today, definitely to clear the way for future development. So after a short period of joy, we finally got into the main topic of the day.

After everyone had calmed down a little, John said loudly, "Gentlemen, about this year...... In fact, I still have only one request for the development of the consortium this year and next year, and that is to expand! I need you to spend as much money as you can, buy more resources, hire more workers, and expand more factories! We need more trucks, more radios, more artillery, more explosives, more ships and more planes......"

"Buzz ......"

Before John could finish his sentence, the meeting room was bustling.

The high-ranking officials who had been holding their breath and listening to the boss's lecture could no longer control the doubts in their hearts at this time, and as soon as John's words were finished, Henry? Ford couldn't wait to be the first to speak: "Sir, please forgive me for questioning, but I really don't understand!" Today, Huntelaar Motors has a high production capacity of more than 20,000 trucks per year, but it is enough to meet the needs of the market! And in fact, we expect our capacity to exceed sales by June at the latest...... In this case, is it necessary to expand a new production line? ”

"yes, yes, we're in a similar situation."

With Henry? Ford's opening, and the others echoed it.

This is a common situation encountered by the Huntelaar consortium today, and the rapid expansion in the past few years has caused them a lot of trouble, and the key is that the increase in market capacity is far from keeping up with the increase in production capacity. The American market is very large, and the products of the Huntelaar consortium are indeed bestsellers all over the world, but the capacity of commodities such as automobiles, freighters, and weapons is limited after all, and compared with those European powers, the background of the Huntelaar consortium is still slightly worse after all.

Therefore, when they heard John asking everyone to continue to expand, many people suddenly became a little anxious.

If you develop step by step, everyone will have a very good annual report, but because of the continuous expansion and expansion, many companies can only barely flatten or even lose money last year, which is really unacceptable to everyone. They believe that the company's expansion has reached the limit, and the next step must be to solve the problem of the contradiction between excess capacity and demand, and then blind expansion will inevitably be punished by the market......

Hearing everyone's mixed opinions, John was silent for a while.

World War I is just around the corner, and the most important thing now is to develop the technology that is most needed in the war and at the same time expand the scale of production. As long as the two groups go to war at that time, whether it is the artillery shells that the army urgently needs or the heavy trucks that the rear needs, the demand will be jaw-dropping.

The point is, is it time to leak the heavenly machine?

The reason why John dared to expand aggressively was actually to prepare for war. Only a large-scale war can absorb the rapidly expanding production capacity of the Huntelaar consortium, and because it has taken the lead, it can also bring them huge benefits at that time. But John has rarely talked about it with others, partly to be safe and avoid unnecessary distractions, and partly to maintain an information advantage.

But now, John felt he had to make a decision.

It's okay if you don't say it, John can force it as a boss, just like he has for years. But the consequences of this are also obvious, and it will cause strong dissatisfaction among subordinates, after all, not everyone can see the huge potential demand in Europe in the future.

"Gentlemen, we must be ready!"

After a moment of silence, John finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I think everyone understands the current situation in Europe, the two blocs are desperately engaged in an arms race, as long as they don't want to go bankrupt eventually, the outbreak of war is a matter of time!" Moreover, it is foreseeable that once a war breaks out between the two major military blocs in Europe, the scale will inevitably be very large, and it may even involve Canada, Australia, and other countries...... What's more, according to my judgment, this war will not only be large-scale, but it will certainly last for a long time, perhaps for years......"

By 1912, John had no need to hide it.

The huge parlor fell into silence as if all the air had been suddenly drained.

Everyone's faces are red and their hearts are beating wildly!

While John was speaking, Henry? Ford felt like he was holding his breath so much that he didn't even dare to breathe for a breath - he now finally understood why the Huntelaar Motor Company was now producing hundreds of thousands of vehicles, almost half of the world's market, and why Mr. Huntelaar was forcing him to keep expanding production capacity, especially the trucks, and even hoarding them that he would rather not sell!

For the armies of various countries, trucks are undoubtedly the latest means of delivery!

And let's not forget that the owner of the Huntelaar car company is not an automotive expert of this era, but a time-traveler from the future. So in addition to the usual trucks and troop carriers, John asked Henry early on? Ford and they developed some new products, such as trucks that can tow cannons, cars that can be equipped with weapons such as machine guns, and a strange car with only three grunts......

I see, it's all for war!

……

In early 1912, John confessed his predictions for World War I to his subordinates.

Of course, this was for others, who seemed to him to be Mr. Huntelaar's most accurate prediction of a large-scale battle. After the future war, everyone was amazed by the accuracy of John's judgment, and they were glad that they and the company were prepared in advance. Only John himself knew that all this came from the memory of his previous life - the First World War was inevitable without changing the general trend of world development.

But at the moment, almost no one believes Mr. Huntelaar's judgment!

However, it didn't matter to John whether they believed it or not, what mattered was that they told them why, and that they did their orders carefully, rather than disobeying them. So in addition to "convincing" them on the surface, John also added a lawyer and an accountant to each company to ensure that they strictly followed their orders - to continue to expand and expand their production capacity!

The next thing to do is wait. (To be continued.) )
