Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The two branches of Chrysler acquired this time are located next to each other, which is very convenient for management and can achieve technological complementation. Jeep's future positioning is off-road vehicles and SUVs, while Dodge mainly produces trucks. After the existing orders are completed, cars will not be produced. In the future, there will only be one brand of cars, which is Heiyun.

Bao Zixuan met with members of the automobile labor union and representatives of two automobile companies in the reception room of the Jeep factory. There is a more difficult matter to resolve than acquisition negotiations. As a boss, you must show up, otherwise you will be known as disrespectful to workers and union organizations. After all, this is the first negotiation between the two parties, and there are many issues to discuss.

Looking at the posture of the worker representatives and the union organization, Bao Zixuan finally understood why Chrysler sold the factory to him at such a cheap price and why the U.S. Department of Commerce did not intervene to obstruct it. Even this group of workers and labor unions who want to eat people will avoid anyone. Now this group of people will do anything just to eat.

After a brief introduction, five people from each side sat together.

The representative of the labor union spoke first and said to the five people from Heiyun Group: "Hello, Mr. Bao and everyone sitting here. I am Paulson, the former union representative of Chrysler Automobile Company. I have now been assigned to Jeep and Dodge. Brand workers’ treatment is under negotiation.”

"Dodge and Jeep workers hope to get the treatment they deserve. After all, Chrysler owed them too much before. I hope Heiyun can meet the workers' reasonable demands after taking over the two car brands, otherwise the workers will get it according to their own ideas. everything."

After hearing what this guy said, not only Bao Zixuan, but also other Heiyun Group employees were very angry. You have to raise your salary without doing anything, and if that doesn't work, you still have to act according to your own ideas. Is this a threat? And what Chrysler owed them about Guan Heiyun was simply inexplicable and unreasonable.

John Chambers: "Mr. Paulson, regarding workers' treatment, we will increase it appropriately based on their contribution to the company, but we cannot accept it if Black Cloud compensates Chrysler for its previous problems and mistakes. After all, these workers were helping Chrysler creates profits and has nothing to do with Heiyun Group."

Paulson: "Heiyun Group acquired two car brands from Chrysler, so it has the right and obligation to complete what Chrysler did not complete at the time. The most important thing is that you think Chrysler would buy two car brands so cheaply without worker restraint. And the factory was sold to Heiyun! Chrysler made concessions on price because it hoped that Heiyun Group would treat the workers of these two automobile companies well. This is also a disguised form of compensation."

John Chambers: "Mr. Paulson, don't you think it's ridiculous to say this! We spent $820 million to acquire two car brands and factories, and now we are asked to compensate our former employer for what the workers probably deserved when they were running it. There is no such law in the entire United States."

"Heiyun Group will appropriately improve the wages of these workers, but please don't be greedy. We will only accept workers' reasonable requests for wages and guarantee that we will not default on a penny of wages."

Although Paulson knew that many of the terms were not very reasonable, he wanted to let these workers know. Everything they get is obtained with the help of the union, and they will be more active when they pay their dues in the future. The U.S. auto unions have become so nasty that they later played a disgraceful role in Detroit's bankruptcy.

Before Paulson could continue to speak, a man wearing a worker's uniform said: "What kind of treatment can Heiyun Group give our workers?"

Paulson was very angry when he heard someone talking over him. After all, every negotiation with management is led by the labor union, and the worker representatives are often just a decoration. Now some workers actually come out to talk about what the people below want to do. How could these disobedient workers be selected? It seems that the management of the workers below is not in place. In the future, we must bring out obedient workers, otherwise we will be very passive.

In fact, this worker was arranged by John Chambers. This worker who had worked at Jeep for 24 years was named Levin Luck. He is very influential among workers and is a highly skilled workshop supervisor. The most important thing is that his son works in Heiyun Group and is an engineer at Heiyun Computer Company.

This makes everyone envious of working more, and every time I hear my son say how good Heiyun Group is. In addition to giving expensive gifts to your parents, you will leave a lot of money every time you come back. This is not a lie.

After knowing that there was this relationship, John Chambers immediately found Hashimoto Hiroshi. Let Little Lak persuade his father. For the sake of his son's future, Old Lak has been appeasing the workers for the acquisition by Heiyun Group, and at the same time, he has also taken the initiative to invite Miao to participate in labor negotiations.

Seeing that the arranged chess pieces finally came into play, John Chambers was very happy, but now was not the time to show it, so he said: "When I was at Chrysler, the average worker's weekly salary was 4 clouds. After taking over, under normal working conditions The minimum weekly wage is US$500, and overtime is twice as much as usual. At the same time, the factory is responsible for all three meals a day for workers, and the food standards of our Heiyun Group are among the best in the world."

The three worker representatives were very satisfied after hearing this. The operating rate was not very high when Chrysler was operating. Their salaries were never paid in full, and what John Chambers said was only a theoretical salary. What they now receive is basic living expenses, and many people are struggling within the poverty line.

When Paulson saw the workers' expressions, he knew something was about to go wrong. So he said without hesitation: "We have to go back and discuss it. We are not very satisfied with the wage standards proposed by Heiyun Group, and workers should not work overtime. This will have a great impact on their physical and mental health."

The first labor negotiation ended unhappily without any results. However, the current mood of the workers is relatively stable under the mediation of the undercover agents of the Heiyun Group, but this is not a long-term solution. Bao Zixuan also wanted to make a quick decision. However, after looking at the performance of the trade union organization, they probably won't give up, so they can only carry on like this and see who can hold on in the end.

In order to speed up negotiations with workers, all employees of Black Cloud Group in Detroit went to workers' homes to comfort them. The work was progressing very smoothly under the help of Lao Lak, but the union came out to cause trouble again at this time.

The two sides immediately entered a state of tension, and later everyone made concessions. Labor and management finally reached an agreement.

Bao Zixuan also knew that it would be difficult to get the factory to operate at full capacity without resolving the union, so now he could only feel aggrieved. This made him very uncomfortable. After all, this boss was like no one else.

The unions have not benefited either, and there is a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts. I know that Heiyun Group has contacted many workers in private. If they are tough, it will be difficult to end the situation in the end. This also paved the way for the situation when the two parties signed a new labor agreement to get out of control in the future.

The minimum weekly wage for workers has been increased to 2.5 times the current wage during work hours. Let you be arrogant now. When all the automated equipment is used, you will be able to see it.

Chambers was temporarily appointed president of Black Cloud Automotive North America, with full responsibility for vehicle production coordination. With a wave of his hand, Bao Zixuan basically cut off all existing models and redesigned all models. In addition, the existing engine technology has been fully upgraded. He wants to create a car that is different from this era, and he has found a target to imitate.

This time Jeep will redesign two cars, namely the previous Jeep classic models Grand Cherokee and Compass. These are classic Jeep models, now they are just used.

As for Dodge, it will exclusively produce trucks and pickups and will not produce other vehicles in the future. The existing technology combined with Rheinmetall's patents is completely sufficient.

For Bao Zixuan, Heiyun's first mass-produced car, it was decided to refer to the 2013 BMW three-series sedan, and it will use a hybrid engine. Control fuel consumption within 4 liters per 100 kilometers.
