From Hughes's words, I felt a sense of wind and rain!

Danger is coming! This made Alex have to be vigilant.

When he returned to New York, he immediately called people from various departments to ask about the company's operations. Sure enough, some clues were found, and some people hiding in the shadows began to lay out.

The most obvious is the TV station, NBC TV and the Disney Company have teamed up to shoot some programs together. There are even rumors that the two companies intend to swap shares, further strengthen cooperation, and so on.

As for computers and electronics, some industry insiders have found that GE and IBM executives are constantly meeting as if to discuss cooperation. As for what an electrical appliance company and a computer company plan to cooperate with, no one knows, and there is a lot of speculation from the outside world.

There is also the fact that DreamWorks Pictures' acquisition of Paramount is not going well, although the other party has been declared bankrupt by the court, it still refuses to let go, and seems to be engaged in delaying tactics with DreamWorks.

Originally, these things were nothing, but judging from Hughes's warning and time period, there was a big problem. Alex believes that this is a sign that the other party is ready to do something, and it is necessary to carry out ideological work on the company's internal employees as soon as possible to avoid the problem of personnel turnover.

But before he could officially start the prevention work in this area, there was already an abnormality there.

The day after returning from the Hughes base, employees in various companies under the name of the Carpenter family changed jobs, and a large number of key employees submitted their resignations to the company.

"What's going on! Why do so many people suddenly want to leave the company? The CEOs of the various companies were frightened by the resignations of their subordinates. In just one day, resignation letters were already piling up on the desk.

Alex, who received the news, couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that the other party had been staring at his whereabouts. As soon as he left Hughes's base, the other party immediately launched this wave of attacks.

Cut the ground from under somebody's feet! If you have enough capital, you will definitely be able to poach all the key personnel of a company. In commercial warfare, there are countless companies that have been brought down by the enemy using such means. What I didn't expect was that Alex would be so coming.

Before you can solve the problem, you must understand the situation. Alex brought together the CEOs of these companies for a meeting to discuss how to respond to the crisis.

"The investigation is clear. Who is digging our people! Alex asked.

"NBC and Disney!" The head of ABC TV said: "They seem to be going to expand the company. So keep poaching people from us! ”

"General Electric and IBM, they seem to want to cooperate to invest in an electrical appliance company, and they are very ruthless in poaching people, and they are given very high salaries!" After the person in charge of the CPT company, Lao Qiao, finished speaking. After thinking about it, he added: "Not only people in the production of electrical appliances are poached. Even R&D talent has been poached.

Seymour on the side? Clay also nodded and said, "Yes." The two companies have also come to poach my assistants, and several competent engineers have already made it clear that they want to leave the computer research institute. ”

Alex nodded and turned to Rudy, who was in charge of the record company. I only heard the other party say: "The people in the record company are also injured, but fortunately it is not serious." After all, our company has a lot of talents, and if we poach one, we can immediately make up for one. ”

"Well, that's good!" Alex smiled and praised the other in words.

However, he knew that this may be because the other party was afraid of startling the snake, so he didn't dare to put a lot of effort into the record company. You must know that the five members of the Carpenter family will run to the record company almost whenever they are free. If something happens, you'll know right away.

After all, the record label was the first step to the Carpenter family's fortune, just like the Hughes family started Hughes Tools International, Hughes would never have sold it to death, and it was also the company with the strongest control.

"What about our singers? Did they offer to leave the company? Alex asked Dill next to him, who was the boss of the brokerage company.

"There are a few, but most of them don't move!" Dill replied, pausing and adding, "It's just that RAC and CBS Records seem to have teamed up, and although they are not directly poaching, they are teaming up against our company's records." I estimate that during this period, there may be a decrease in market share. If that time comes, I'm afraid our singers and stars will have some different thoughts. ”

"If that happens, we'll talk about it then. Let's see if other companies are losing talent! ”

Alex said undeniably that he wanted to get the full picture before considering how to respond to the attack.

"In terms of large supermarkets, the situation is not rosy. These days, near Walmart supermarkets, there is a similar type of supermarket open. There are also some supermarket managers who have also been poached by these newly opened supermarkets. ”

Sam? Walton originally thought that he had just encountered this kind of thing, but he didn't expect that all the companies related to the Carpenter family's industry had encountered it, and it seemed that the other party's goal this time was very clear, that is, the Carpenter family. It's just that the Walton family has been tied to the Carpenter family, and they are already a community of interests, regardless of each other.

After Alex listened to Sam's words, he didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Next are the comic book companies, toy factories, SCC companies, ARK companies, investment companies, global airlines, etc., these companies are in different situations, some have suffered a lot of losses, some have not been attacked because they are related to the Hughes Group, and some have not been valued by the enemy because they have not been established for a long time, and there are no dazzling achievements.

Basically, SCC is a blessing to Hughes, and nothing is going on in the calm weather. The enemy is also afraid of provoking Hughes and provoking the first billionaire in the United States, and then they will not face the Carpenter family, but the Hughes group.

"What now? Should we give all those who are poached a wage increase and increase benefits? ”

The speaker was Morris, who had a good relationship with Alex, and he also attended the meeting, and as one of the shareholders of DreamWorks, he was also a little flustered about the kind of thing in front of him.

Most of the people present own shares in the companies they manage, as well as options.

When it comes to options, they all think it's a really good incentive now. If Alex hadn't used options to win over employees since the establishment of these companies, it is estimated that there would be many more people who left this time.

After this kind of thing happened, they all talked to those who were poached, and were shocked to find that those hostile companies actually took the method of sparing no money, as long as they felt that this person was useful to the company, they would poach them at several times the price.

In the face of this kind of money offensive, even those of them who are CEOs are a little nervous, if they hadn't been working hard for many years in the company owned by the Carpenter family and benefited a lot, maybe they would have patted their butts and left.

As for the proposal to raise wages and increase benefits, some people oppose it, and some people support it. The final decision was left to Alex, and everyone looked at him in unison, hoping that he would make the final decision.

"There will be no salary increase or benefits for the time being, but we will have to talk to the rest of the people. Well, let's go back and count the number of people who are going to leave and the corresponding positions. ”

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine was bought in the gourd of Alex, and thought, "Will there be any problems with this?" Just talking to the employee? It's hard to brainwash all the remaining people. ”

Sure enough, this decision was immediately opposed by several people. Alex was not angry, he smiled and said to everyone, "Don't worry, I know it." There is a saying in the Chinese art of war, yes, know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles! We need to understand the current situation of our employees before we can decide how to deal with this matter. ”

Seeing Alex insist, they didn't have anything to say. So they each packed up their notebooks and pens, stood up and left the conference room, leaving Alex sitting in his place, thinking motionlessly.

As soon as they left, two people rushed in outside the door, and it turned out that the Carpenter couple had learned of the company's sudden loss of personnel and hostile company malicious competition, so they quickly stopped traveling to Hawaii and rushed back to see what was going on.

"Alex! Alex, what's going on? Bart's face was a little pale, compared to what he had learned on the road, after all, they also had a few henchmen in the company.

Angel was also nervous, but her expression was much more natural and she didn't look very panicked.

"Sit down first!"

Alex glanced at them and reached out to pull away the chair next to him so that his parents could sit down.

"What the hell is going on!" Bart asked again.

"Things are kind of bad!" Alex gave a rough overview of what he had learned at the meeting, and then said, "That's the way it is, but I already have a preliminary response. It's not terrible that the personnel are gone, what I'm worried about is that the other party still has a back hand, but I don't know how many back hands they still have. ”

Hearing Alex's words, the couple settled down, they both knew Alex's character, as long as he said that he could handle it well, there was really a way. As for what the backhand, they are not very worried, in their opinion, the other party has spent so much blood, if they can't earn back the capital, they will definitely be self-defeating.

Actually, the situation is very bad, but Alex doesn't want his parents to worry! (To be continued......)
