CHAPTER XXIX
readx;? Wang Haihai followed Jack, Donald and others to the conference room on the fourth floor, and after the two sides gave in for a while, no one sat in the main seat in the middle, and sat down on both sides. After the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info sat down, Wang Haitao first asked Jack and Donald, who were sitting opposite: "Mr. Jack, have you talked to these gentlemen and workers about the results of our discussion yesterday?"
Jack and Donald replied, "Mr. Wang, I have already spoken to these gentlemen and some of the workers, but they don't quite believe me, so it seems that you still have to tell them personally." As they spoke, Jack and Donald shrugged helplessly.
Wang Haitao glanced at a few people and said, "Gentlemen, what I talked about with Mr. Jack yesterday, I will repeat it here. First, I bought the steel mill from Mr. Jack and Mr. Donald for $2 million, and second, I hired Mr. Jack and Mr. Donald as managers of the mill at an annual salary of $5,000 and gave him 10 percent of the shares in the plant;
Third, I will hire all the workers who remain in the factory at the current salary, and give 10% of the factory's share dividend as a bonus to all the workers. I will write the above three points into the acquisition contract and promise to do so. A few gentlemen have any questions to ask. ”
As soon as Wang Haitao finished speaking, the chairman of the trade union in the factory stood up and said: "My name is Furnetz and Hepburn, and I am the chairman of the trade union of the factory. First of all, on behalf of the workers, I would like to thank Mr. Wang for his generosity, but I have two questions to ask. First, what about the wages owed by the workers in the past? Second, there are only 1,760 workers in the factory, will Mr. Wang only use these workers for production, or will he recruit more workers?"
Wang Haitao said to Furnetz and Hepburn with a straight face: "The first question, after I took over the factory, all the previous debts of the factory have nothing to do with me, and you still need to ask Jack and Mr. Donald for the wages owed by the workers. The second question is that I want to recruit 1,500 Chinese workers into the factories, and the Chinese will be treated in the same way as American workers in the factories. ”
After Wang Haitao's words, several Americans glanced at each other, and Fernetz and Hepburn asked Jack and Donald: "Boss Jack, what about the wages owed by the workers?" Jack and Donald said helplessly: "Okay, I promise, as long as I get the money from the bank, it will be all repaid to the workers." Furnetz and Hepburn nodded in satisfaction.
He turned to Wang Haitao and asked, "Mr. Wang, why don't you recruit those workers from the original factory who have been dismissed? You know, they are all skilled steelworkers, and they will be grateful for your decision." ”
Wang Haitao replied: "First of all, I am Chinese, and I will not turn a blind eye to the suffering of my compatriots, and secondly, I believe that once we Chinese workers learn the technology, we will do a better job than you American workers." Well, that's my decision, no more discussion. Still have questions?"
Furnetts and Hepburn shook their heads, said no, and sat down. Another American stood up and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm the manager of the human resources department, and my name is Ryder and White." I would like to ask Mr. Wang, how did you arrange the personnel after you took over this factory?"
Wang Haitao replied: "This is what I want to tell you, if I am not in the factory, everything in the factory will be decided by my brother Mr. Wang Weihou, and he will become the general manager of the factory." The personnel of each of your departments will not move for the time being, but each supervisor must have a Chinese deputy, and the Chinese deputy will cooperate with the work of the supervisors. And the chairman of the union, Frinets and Hepburn, will have two Chinese vice chairmen around him, which is also to ensure the rights and interests of Chinese workers. ”
Wang Haitao's words silenced everyone. Wang Haitao asked again, "Are there any other questions?" Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that there was no problem. At this time, Wang Haitao said: "Since everyone has no problem, I would like to formally sign the transfer contract with Mr. Jack and Mr. Donald here tomorrow, that is, February 26, 1935." Mr. Jack, you can prepare your contract, and don't forget to call the impartial officer tomorrow and some reporters. ”
After Jack and Donald all agreed, Wang Haitao said to Jack and Donald: "Mr. Jack, two million dollars will be transferred to your account tomorrow." I'm going to hold a groundbreaking ceremony on March 1st, which means you have three days to clean up the aftermath. I don't want to have previous problems coming to me after I take over, can I?"
Jack nodded in agreement. At this time, Wang Haitao said to everyone: "Then let's go to the second floor, I think it's time to make it clear to those workers." After speaking, Wang Haitao took the lead and walked towards the door of the conference room.
Wang Haitao came to the second floor, and everyone followed him. Wang Haitao stood by the railing of the building, and Fernetz and Hepburn hurriedly handed over an iron megaphone. Wang Haitao took the megaphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen. Wang Haitao said a word, and when he saw that all the workers were gathering towards the building, he stopped and waited for a while.
After a while, Wang Haitao saw that the workers were leaning over, so he continued: "My name is Wang Haitao, I am Chinese, and tomorrow I will formally sign the transfer contract with Mr. Jack and Donald, the former owners of the steel plant. I have just reached an oral agreement with several gentlemen on the transfer of the steel plant, and I now ask the President of the Union, Mr. Furnetz and Mr. Hepburn, to convey our oral agreement. ”
After speaking, Wang Haitao handed over the megaphone to Furnetz and Hepburn and stepped aside. Furnetz and Hepburn took the megaphone and stood in front of them, and said loudly: "Today, here we first want to thank Mr. Wang Haitao for his generosity and benevolence. He not only promised to use his current wages to retain all the workers, but also generously gave one-tenth of the share dividend as our welfare to everyone. ”
As soon as Frinetz and Hepburn said this, they were interrupted by the cheerers of the workers. Half a day later, the workers finally calmed down, and Furnetz and Hepburn went on to tell everyone all the contents of the verbal agreement. After Furnetts and Hepburn finished speaking, they handed over the megaphone to Wang Haitao, who took the megaphone and stepped forward and said: "As the new boss, I will give dividends to everyone, and I also hope that everyone can really do a good job." Only when there are more profits in the factory, there are more dividends, and you can share more.
The groundbreaking ceremony of the new steel plant will be held on March 1, and I hope to see the new quality products produced in the plant as soon as possible. On March 1st, in order to celebrate the opening of the new factory, I will pay you half a month's salary in advance, and the first day of each month will be payday, and I hereby promise that I will never default or deduct everyone's wages without reason. At the end of the year, I will disclose the financial situation of the factory this year, and then distribute the dividends, as for how the dividends will be paid, we will tell you after we have discussed. ”
Wang Haitao's words drew cheers from the workers.
