Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Of course, Vincent Bentley was also thinking about himself. To be precise, he wanted to leave a way out for the Bentley family. Although Bentley Furniture still retains a part of the company's shares, it is very small or even negligible.

But everyone can see that if Bentley is acquired by Heiyun Motors, its future development will be unlimited. Being able to retain its shares means that even if the family cannot control Bentley in the future, it can still have a place within it.

After being acquired by Black Cloud, the management rights of the company may be returned to the Bentley family. Unlike Rolls-Royce, Heiyun has never really operated a high-end car brand, so it can be said that its experience is inferior. Moreover, Bao Zixuan does not have the energy, and Heiyun Group does not have suitable and available talents.

Although he currently works at Bentley Motors, he does not have much real power. It has more of a symbolic meaning, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a mascot. As a top student who graduated from Imperial College, Vincent Bentley is also a person with pursuits and cannot work as a mascot forever.

Although Heiyun Group can restore Bentley to its former glory, but without the participation of members of the Bentley family, it always feels not so perfect.

Vincent Bentley: "I don't know where Mr. Bao wants to go and see. Should he go to the Bentley Museum?"

Well-known high-end brands with a little bit of history will basically establish a room of honor. With a little more scale, it will become a museum.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Of course I have to visit the Bentley Museum, but I want to see how the workers work even more. How about going to the workshop? You must know that the Bentley cushion workshop is famous and powerful all over the world."

In fact, Bao Zixuan wanted to visit the Bentley seat cushion production line, more because he wanted to see the benefits and treatment of Bentley female workers. Women hold up half the sky, and if used properly, they will be a force that cannot be ignored.

In his previous life, Bao Zixuan watched the movie Yiyi, Made in Dagenham; it mainly tells the story of the strike held by female automobile workers in order to compete for the same wages and ratings as men. It can be said to be a history of blood and tears of British female automobile workers.

On June 7, 1968, seamstresses at Ford Motor Company's Dagenham plant, led by labor leaders Rose Boland, Eileen Pullen, Vera Sime, Gwen Davis, and Sheila Douglass, began a strike march at the Halewood plant. The female workers also went on strike. The strike by the women who sewed car seat covers eventually led to the shutdown of the entire auto industry.

The reason for their strike is that after the factory reclassified their jobs, their jobs were classified as Class B - less skilled production work, rather than Class C - more skilled production work. In addition, they already receive 15% less salary than their B-level male counterparts. At that time, companies generally gave female workers lower salaries than male workers, regardless of the abilities required for the position.

Three weeks after the strike began, the women stopped their strike after Labor Minister Barbara Castle promised to immediately pay them just 8% less than their male counterparts, and to increase their wages to the same as their male counterparts the following year. A tribunal of inquiry was organized to reconsider their rating, but it was not until another strike in 1984 that their rating reached C.

Although women's wages have been greatly improved at this time, they are still far behind those of men. At least in terms of technician rating, they are far behind male workers. At this time, wages for domestic workers in the UK were shrinking, especially for Bentley, who was born to a concubine.

The treatment of female workers can be imagined, and all workers must agree with Heiyun's acquisition; in this way, even Rolls-Royce can only compromise. They don't dare to go too far, otherwise they may get nothing.

In the face of absolute strength, everyone must carefully consider it. There are too many ways to deal with them, and the entire Rolls-Royce company may be implicated. This is Bao Zixuan's purpose. A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed in an ant nest. Although it was a bit shameful, everything was done on a moral basis and no one could say anything.

Vincent Bentley was really confused when he heard that Bao Zixuan actually wanted to visit the cushion workshop. Is it impossible that Heiyun Auto does not have a sewing workshop? Is there any conspiracy here? After all, every move made by such a super rich man has a strong purpose.

Now we can only see what this kid wants to do, and then decide on a countermeasure. After all, they are guests, and they are here to inspect Bentley cars. If you are not allowed to visit even the most basic and simple workshop, then it shows that Bentley is too insincere.

Bentley leather cutting workshop, including the seat cushion workshop next to it. Although it is not as modern as Heiyun Automobile, it is very historical, and at least it has a sense of vicissitudes of life.

A simple workshop, but you can see a lot of information from it. At least it shows that Bentley's seat cushion covers are all handmade. No wonder the production volume is not increasing. However, if the product is not good, there is nothing wrong with relying on quality. But Rolls-Royce is suppressing it, so even Bentley doesn't know how to position it.

Vincent Bentley took Bao Zixuan and his party on a tour, but it didn't attract much attention. Workers should do whatever they are supposed to do. It can also be seen from here that Bentley's management is not bad. In fact, this is the case when visiting factories in Europe and the United States. As long as everyone does their job well, the rest has little to do with the workers.

Paris is a Bentley sewing worker, and his main job is to sew the cut leather together. The factory business is not good, and her work efficiency is much higher than others, so she is dazed at the sewing machine. It can't be said that he was in a daze, but he was reading a car magazine.

Want to progress, or not be eliminated by society. It is necessary to master the latest developments and the most cutting-edge professional knowledge.

Workers in the automobile industry must at least have a comprehensive understanding of automobiles. Therefore, whenever Paris has time, he will read and study. This is already the norm. Even if the supervisor saw her like this, he wouldn't say anything. After all, you have done your job and done it well. Talking too much is not conducive to employee growth and self-management.

I just didn't expect that when I was reading and studying today, I happened to be seen by the distinguished guests who came to visit. This is a bit embarrassing. Will people question the quality of Bentley cars because she is not at work? It is not impossible. After all, the production of a car requires the joint efforts of everyone.

This is especially true for high-end cars. Seeing this, Paris was a little embarrassed. After all, his questions made customers suspicious of Bentley.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said to the female worker who was reading: "Madam, can I ask you a question!"

It was already very embarrassing to be caught reading a book during working hours, but I didn’t expect the other party to ask questions. But she knew that if she couldn't meet even this requirement, there would be constant trouble in the future. Although I don’t know who the Asian man in front of me is, I just feel that he looks familiar. Seeing so many people focusing on him, I guess his status will not be low.

Paris said cautiously: "Sir, please don't be polite; you can call me Paris. Come over to Bentley, you are our guest; if you have any questions, you can ask directly."

Hearing that a female employee has such a sense of belonging, it seems that Bentley's corporate culture is not bad. However, it cannot explain what the problem is. It is not known whether he has been trained before.

In fact, Bao Zixuan really wrongly blamed the management of Bentley Motors. He would definitely not reveal anything to the employees when someone came to acquire him. If something goes wrong in this process, or some conservative workers cannot accept it, the problem will become more difficult.

When everything is settled, even if the workers want to cause trouble, they will not be able to affect the overall situation. And that is the problem of the new boss. If the previous management took money and left, what does it have to do with them?

This is just a matter of basic courtesy. I can only say that Paris did a good job in treating others.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. First of all, let's agree that this is a personal question. If you don't want to answer, you can refuse."

"Can you tell me what your weekly salary is?"

When I heard this man come up, I asked him what his salary was for. No one dared to speak after seeing him, including Mr. Vincent Bentley.

Paris seemed to have made a very important decision and said directly: "My weekly salary is 140 pounds."

This is equivalent to about 600 pounds per month, which seems not low, but compared with Heiyun Auto, it is still far behind. At this time, Bao Zixuan already knew that these female workers were a good breakthrough.

As long as it is used properly, Luoluo company executives can only be dumb and unable to speak out their sufferings.

Although the method is not very glorious, it is also for their own good. If you feel regretful, you can slowly make up for it later. I believe that these female workers will not have any big objections after learning about it, but will actively cooperate.
