Chapter 1875: Layoffs

The company is getting bigger and bigger, and the industries involved are also increasing.

Although each subsidiary has a special professional manager to help manage, and the ability is very good, those who are not capable are all rolled up and left, and those "careerists" who have the ability but are not easy to control have no foothold in the company, and most of them end up in ashes and leave.

But as the CEO of the parent company of Snow Mountain Group, Mr. Anthony still needs to deal with various things every day, the sides of his hair are white that does not fit his current age, and the corners of his eyes are wrinkled, which can make him so upset that he needs to consult the small boss There are not many things.

Yes, it is the development of science and technology, with the popularity of machines, that has replaced a large part of the jobs that require manpower, especially in the manufacturing industry.

Since last year, the company has conducted an internal human resources audit, and the result is that many departments, including Han's Automobile Group, Blueberry Group branches and other enterprises, can carry out a large-scale layoff, in the case of Han's Automobile Group, the proportion of layoffs is as high as 6%, a total of about 9,500 jobs can be cut, so that the company can reduce a large part of unnecessary expenses and obtain more benefits.

Nearly 10,000 people, even if the average is 60,000 US dollars per person, plus insurance, bonuses, etc., spend hundreds of millions of dollars more every year, and these people do not need to put much effort into their work, because their jobs have been replaced by artificial machines.

The automatism rate of automobiles is now as high as 70 percent, and it doesn't take much manpower to make the factory run perfectly, and the number of recruits has been decreasing in the past two years, and it has been slightly bloated, but this is the first time that a large-scale layoff like this has been done, and Executive Anthony has not dealt with it, and he seems a little helpless.

The human resources management department handed over the layoff list to him this morning, involving so many people, it was definitely a storm, just when Han Xuan arrived, he planned to hand over this tricky matter to the small boss to deal with, if the small boss agreed to the layoff plan, Executive Anthony planned to implement it head-on.

After the news of layoffs spread last week, the low-level employees of various companies were panicked, and even many middle-level management personnel were cautiously probing, for fear that they would be laid off in the end, which would affect normal production, and to be able to manage such a huge enterprise, Anthony's executive ability is naturally needless to say, and Mr. Han, who found him through a headhunting company, did not expect Anthony to do so well.

The world's "No. 1 working emperor", who was worth more than $3 billion under Han Xuan's hands, hurriedly packed his things at this moment, brought his materials and prepared to rush to the HIBS Research Institute to meet the little boss.

When I went downstairs, I could see the names of various companies from the special elevator buttons, Starbucks, O, Hope Group, BlueBerry, etc., the number of more than 30, there were not so many before, and then some were added one after another, originally thought that there would be a lot of idle floors in the four towers of Snow Mountain, but now it is almost saturated, and there are subsidiaries settled in.

In the first year of this century, the total assets of the Snow Mountain Group continued to decline, because the Internet companies were still in the center of the storm of the Internet industry bubble, which did not stop until 2001, and the bubble was almost completely squeezed out, and it has fallen to the point where it cannot fall, and then with the economic recovery, it is slowly rising.

Today, the total market value of the Hope Group is only about one-third of that at the end of 1999, when it was at its peak, and compared with Microsoft, which can generate stable profits, pure Internet companies such as Destiny and O are at a loss.

In 2001, Nvidia, Cisco, Qualcomm, Blueberry Group and other companies took the lead in recovering their vitality, and Blueberry Group occupied 60 percent of the world's mobile phone sales market, with a total market value of more than $530 billion today, while those industries that did not have a stable source of profit recovered more slowly.

Including hundreds of companies such as Snow Mountain Pharmaceutical, Starbucks, Bombardier, Disney, KFC, and Volkswagen Group, the total market value of the companies in which Snow Mountain Group holds shares exceeds 1.7 trillion US dollars, of which Han Xuan occupies a wealth of about 650 billion US dollars through Snow Mountain Group.

This part is mainly due to the 54% stake in Blueberry Group, and more than 50% of the shares in well-known companies such as Bombardier and Dinis, and the unlisted Han's Automotive Group is 100% owned by him.

Executive Anthony also does not know the total wealth that the small boss has now, from the interstellar investment, the family charitable foundation held by Time Warner Group, SpaceX, many real estate, cash, as well as company stocks, resources and minerals, plus company shares held through the first, second, and third banks of the Maldives, the assets are more than one trillion US dollars, not including the family wealth owned by Han Xuan's grandfather and grandmother.

Money is like a cancer cell, from one to two is not scary, from two to four is not scary, from 10,000 to 20,000 is not scary, but one billion cancer cells divide to two billion, and then spread to the whole body, it is very scary.

Originally, Han Xuan miscalculated the growth rate of his wealth, and there were no major problems in the industry he invested, so many companies made money together, and his wealth showed explosive growth, even if he did not count the shares donated to the family charitable foundation, he had a wealth of as much as six or seven hundred billion US dollars.

Counting the part that is donated, it is more than a trillion dollars, which is more suitable to describe as a rich country, and every year the cash dividends of enterprises alone can get hundreds of billions of dollars, which cannot be spent at all, and there is no place to spend it.

A series of projects such as the Mars landing program, the genetic disease research program, the poverty alleviation charity program, and the earth's sustainable development plan were born in this context.

Some media jokingly said that "the NASDAQ market is specially set up for Han Xuan", this is not a joke, the NASDAQ Composite Index covers all the companies listed on the NASDAQ, and those companies of Han Xuan have a huge influence in it, more than 4,000 listed companies, after the reshuffle, only more than 3,000 remain, and nearly half of them survived after the crisis.

Among the top 100 or so, Han Xuan has participated in more than half of the shares, and the shares are generally between 5% and 20%, and even Microsoft is 7% owned by him......
