Chapter 76 New Business Logic (5)
"And what is the salary of their new recruits?"
Hearing his father's question, little Agnelli's face became very strange: "He doesn't want new employees, as long as skilled workers, the more the better, never consider whether to use it or not, and use it, many very simple processes are done with skilled workers, although the quality and finished product rate are indeed very good, but in my opinion it is a complete waste." Every time he recruits someone, the local skilled workers in Milan will go a batch, and then it will be the turn of Genoa and Turin City, many companies are not very happy about this kind of behavior that breaks the rules of the industry, but the backstage of the United Group is too hard, and the municipal governments such as Milan and Rome completely cover him, and there is a Mussolini on it, everyone can't help it......"
Old Agnelli smiled noncommittally: It's not that everyone can't help it, the key is that people are waving colorful tickets, which is called no way - follow the add, destroy the overall balance, if you don't follow the add, people won't be able to stay.
"Actually, he really wants to poach a little people, I can understand it, isn't it normal for employees to move around? It is just that in the past two years, the war orders have declined, and the operation of the enterprise is also under pressure, and the removal of some relatively high-paid employees can also help the company save costs and other supporting expenditures, the key is that the slogan of the United Group is too hateful - first-class management, first-class technology, first-class service, first-class treatment, first-class products, he claims to be first-class, what are we? Second-rate? ”
"Hahaha!" Old Agnelli finally laughed, he now understood why his son looked at the United Group and little Ziano so unpleasantly, the root was here, "Don't you know that this is a high-profile young man? He's only 20 years old. ”
"I know, why don't I know?" "I know that he flattered Mussolini in Rome, that he intervened in politics and publicly stood up for fascist in newspaper articles, that he went to war with Mateotti and went to court," Agnelli said indignantly...... How could such a low-key and polite figure as Mr. Ziano raise such a son? The personality is not like it at all! If you want me to say that I am a little closer to Benito Mussolini, Matteotti scolds the bitch......"
At this point, he saw that the old Agnelli's brow furrowed, so he stopped talking about it with interest: although the Agnelli family had a very ordinary relationship with Mussolini, the old Agnelli was also very uninterested in the Socialist Party, which had always organized the workers' movement, and the mention of the name Matteotti was certainly not popular. Sure enough, old Agnelli no longer dwelled on the question just now, and instead asked, "Then what does he want so many managers for?" I don't believe they give up their hard-earned careers to get a little more salary......"
"There is another reason for this, the United Group is expanding rapidly, he recently proposed to set up United Power, United Steel, United Shipbuilding, United Chemical, United Home, etc., which are all talents he wants to reserve, and so on new enterprises to start, reserve talents are also almost integrated with the original group system can be appointed. In addition to recruiting from other companies, the management and technical cadres also focused on Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia – but one thing was clear: German and Jewish people were all in every country, for a simple laughable reason: Germans were disciplined, Jews were flexible and intelligent, so the Union Group always used both Italian and German. ”
Agnelli Jr.'s investigation of the United Group is more in-depth, but the reason is definitely not as simple as Contini claims to have found out with Agnelli Jr. on the surface, only Contini, who is a traverser, understands the significance of forming a synergy with the German industrial system, these industries can achieve German-Italian cooperation with a little use of their brains in wartime, and German as a second working language will also form a huge industrial advantage, which is much more reliable than temporarily messing around with the steel axis at that time. As for the admission of Jews, it was entirely tailored to Germany's future anti-Jewish policy. There are many Jews in Italy, although there is also an anti-Semitic atmosphere, but it is not strong, and if he catches this part of the Jews, he will have a group of ideal employees in the industry in the future.
The elder Agnelli was silent: the technology of the Italian workers is not bad, but it is somewhat loose, which is determined by the national characteristics, and it is also the reason why the Italian industrial art sentiment surpasses that of Germany, and the effect of Contini's introduction of the Germans can be imagined with his toes, which will definitely lead the Italian workers to be more disciplined and more team-oriented, as if steel is added to the concrete, and it suddenly becomes hard. However, the routine of not training workers himself, and only digging up skilled workers from other companies, still made old Agnelli incomprehensible - wouldn't this arouse public anger? Did little Ziano think he would never have to deal with anyone else?
Contini also can't say why he doesn't want to train his own workers? Of course, I also want to, but the reality really does not allow it: a joint group of industries is extremely fast, and there is no time to stop and take a breath, how can I have the heart to cultivate and train new employees; Second, the image and quality pursued by the United Group cannot be allowed to recruit unskilled workers; Third, the development of the joint group is too fast, and there are many people to come together, although the goal is the same and there are a large number of professional managers to help Dali, but the internal management is certainly not as good as mature enterprises, if you put jerky employees into it will only be more chaotic.
Facts have also proved that Contini's method of "better workers than better workers than money" is correct, and the workers rely on their previous work experience and tacit understanding to do their jobs even under the premise that the system and management are not so perfect.
Of course, there are other factors infiltrated by this, such as the people stuffed into the Milan city government, all those who have no real talent and learning, all of them are hung up by Contini, even if you are recommended by Mussolini - it is better for you to stay at home for a salary than to let such people have real power. Over time, the important members of the government know the temper of this son: a typical second-generation style, you ask him for money, it's easy to discuss, don't think about it when you ask him for power, in the United Group, Contini is the same, even the United Airlines' gang of soldiers and thorns are obedient, how can there be a person who challenges his authority?
Little Agnelli can only spread his hands on this: "I heard that he is going to enter the steel, chemical, shipbuilding and other industries, everyone is watching coldly, and I want to see when he will make a ...... of his heels."
Old Agnelli was silent for a while, and finally said: "I can understand your thoughts, keep an eye on the United Group, and find a way to inquire about their loan amount, source and term...... I thought, I'm going to have to pick a good moment. ”
"Father, do you want to?"
"It's good for young people to have ambitions, but it's easy to fall if you go too fast, I, as an elder, have to help when appropriate, and His Excellency the Minister of Transportation's face still has to be given......," Old Agnelli smiled meaningfully, "He is still young, he can't be sluggish, we must give him hope and confidence to face the challenges of the future, so that he can grow up quickly, the career is too smooth for the development of young people, it is easy to breed arrogance, which is not conducive to the final summit." ”
Little Agnelli knows what his father wants to do, isn't this just to "toss" at a critical time, although his father values little Chiano, but it does not mean that he is completely indifferent to this, he must have his own considerations, and it is a very ideal time to use the financial problem to intervene, little Chiano nodded excitedly: "I understand, I will continue to keep track." ”
"If he is hungry for talent, we might as well take the initiative to 'give' him a little ...... What if the Fiat Group, which has more than 100,000 employees, has a few thousand? I can't delay everyone from making more money and pursuing higher goals, right? ”
