Chapter 422 The fuse of the protest(1/2)
On the workshop assembly line, nearly twenty people were helping three cars spray paint.
Most of the others were idle. Aston Martin used to need a lot of workers, but since Ford Motor Company helped with assembly line operation, semi-automated production would not require so many people.
Han Xuan sighed that no wonder Ford fired more than 1,400 employees, and the remaining more than 3,900 people are still more, at least half of them can be simplified.
Aston Martin has never won by the number of cars. In the first few decades, it only took more than 6,000 vehicles to go out.
These extra people are like the company is in vain and there is no need to work.
No company can tolerate such a thing because of this.
Under such circumstances, Han Xuan also saw their hatred eyes and felt a little chilled inside.
“Are all companies in the UK like this?
Dozens of people work, hundreds of people watch, and they can still get their wages."
The human resources director who went to the airport yesterday said, Michelle Shearer, said: "Db7 was just released some time ago. I was busy for a few months before. There were inventory in the warehouse. Recently, there were few orders to be supplemented.
They are all old employees of the company. Last year, Ford Corporation was preparing to dismiss 2,000 people at one time. Later, they went to the government and decided to let those who were close to retirement age and those who often did not come to leave their jobs."
"Sorry, Han.
The information sent to us by Ford Motor Company did not write about this.
I thought it would be normal for such a large car company to have nearly 4,000 employees, so I didn’t notice this.”
Anthony said.
This disadvantage is too great. Even if Aston Martin makes money, it will not be able to withstand the consumption of these people.
Besides, Aston Martin has not made any money yet, "I think it's better to give up this acquisition, and these troubles are not easy to deal with."
Han Xuan used to think that Aston Martin had a problem with the accounts, but he didn't find out where it was. Now he has figured it out.
It is completely unreasonable to not make that much money and not lay off employees to reduce expenses.
“Haha, you came so early!
How about it? Have you never seen how cars are built?
The parts are produced in the UK, Europe and the United States and sent here and shipped to all parts of the world after completion.
After globalization of production, it has been much more convenient. In the past, all parts had to be completed in the UK, and the cost was too high."
Jude arrived here and laughed. Yesterday, he discussed the issue of shares seriously. He changed his face and hugged Han Xuan with affectionately.
"The paint spray smells bad. I have to wear a mask when I come here. I'll take you to see what's fun."
If Han Xuanzhen was as old as she looked, she might be infected by his enthusiasm. At this moment, she was thinking, what the hell is going to do?
Follow Jude, listen to him introduce the history of Aston Martin, and walk through the factory to the door of the warehouse.
Jude signaled the security guards to open the door. The huge warehouse had no windows. When the sun shone in, he could only see a small area, which was pitch black inside.
A security guard turned on the lights and Han Xuan looked in. It was full of cars.
From the most original classic car to the newly completed db7, it is all in this warehouse.
This is the "toy" that Jude prepared for Han Xuan to attract him, and said with a smile: "The first Aston Martin in 1913, plus the prototype, concept car, and various commemorative editions, a total of 8 cars.
Some of them were not on the market, and only one of them was left as a souvenir after being scrapped. More than 40 of them were damaged and there were no parts repaired. Others could be driven.
Look here, the 1965 db6 and the 1966 db6 hardtop convertible version.
There are also dbs, db6-mk2 and dbs-v8, all projects I hosted. Later, I was appreciated by the directors at that time and became the executive officer of this company.
I heard that you like classic cars, so I specially found it from the warehouse and repair it. I want to build an exhibition hall here in the future.
Look at this first Virage that was launched in 1988. It is my most proud product, and its sales volume broke the previous record!”
Han Xuan was really shocked by these more than 200 cars!
It is absolutely impossible for others to collect all Aston Martin cars, only this manufacturer can do it.
Looking at it one by one in the order of placement, you can feel the entire evolutionary history of Aston Martin.
From the beginning of this century, cars started, and until now in 1994, the heart that had just been shaken by Anthony is inclined to buy it.
Parked in front of the db5 and watched. Han Xuan also has one of this car, but this is a prototype car, which is more precious and has a little different appearance.
"It's very good, but I still can't agree to the 6% equity reward."
Han Xuan finished watching it all, sat on the cover of the only db7 prototype car, and said.
Jude has been looking at Han Xuan's expression since he came in. He asked several people about Han Xuan's hobby before he knew about it.
I just saw that he was obviously fascinated by these cars, but after hearing this, his face turned red instantly.
"Then how much are you going to give?"
"Before you create value for my boss, I tend to postpone equity dividends, so there is no plan for this at the moment." Anthony said.
The finance officer named Sean Hopkins came to Jude's ear and said a few words.
Jude took a deep breath, "The reporters are here. If you want to ask about the details of the acquisition, you can prepare first, I will go and receive them."
"No need?"
Han Xuan spread his hands and said, "After all, the first condition was not discussed.
We discovered some problems with this company and needed to revisit the signing of Ford Motor Company."
"OK."
Jude looked at Michelle, "Then I'll tell the reporter."
Michelle received his look and said, "I'll help you..."
Several people were walking on the road.
"question?
What problems did they find?"
"The number of employees, the company has too many employees, and it may be that it wants to lay off employees." Michelle replied.
Jude obviously relaxed, "This time, the acquisition was not completed successfully, Ford Motor Company will definitely put the blame on me.
I broke up yesterday. If it was successfully acquired by Xueshan Investment Company, we will be the one who left the first one.
Henry is our man, and it is better to stay here than to help him, and he can live a better life.
Sean, someone asked someone to release news that Xueshan Investment Company decided to lay off employees after the acquisition, and lay off employees significantly.
Take the reporter to the factory for an interview and ask the workers to make trouble, so I have a reason to reply to the head office!”
...
Hannah was being hunted by a double barrel. She pointed at her head.
The one I took was an old woman in her sixties or seventies, grey hair, and shouted: "Say! My Bibi lost my family. Did you steal it?
I saw you sneaking in the morning, walking several times from Jude's door, and I was staring at you from the window!
The police will arrive soon. Recently, people are often stolen in our community, and you have finally been caught!"
“Bibi?”
Hannah looked helpless. She had no problem in and out of many tightly defended museums, but she fell into the hands of this old woman.
"My dog! A poor Chihuahua, he has been with me for more than eight years..."
Halfway through the words, the old woman didn't have time to scream, and a handkerchief covered her mouth and quickly fainted in Anqiluo's arms.
Hannah asked, "Is she okay?"
"It's okay, inhaled anesthetic, I only put a little bit of it and I'll wake up in a few minutes."
An Qiluo took out a small bottle and shook it. When he heard the alarm ring, he said anxiously: "Go away!"
Jason noticed the sound and asked Bernie to start the car. When they got on, they drove dozens of meters away. The police had just arrived and found the old woman fainted and got out in a hurry.
"It's very dangerous."
Bivis looked back at the still ringing alarm, "Fool, thank you for almost caught me."
Jason took the folder handed over by Hannah and probably finished reading it, "That's right, that's it."
"Can we let us go now?" Anqiluo said.
"Who said he wanted to let you go?"
Jason packed the documents, "Bieves, if I were you, I wouldn't have made small moves. I could easily pinch your throat in the car.
Logically speaking, you should be killed to silence the news you drew will not leak, but the boss will not agree, so pack up your things and prepare to follow us.
I will help you arrange your work, and I will be relieved if someone monitors me. It seems that you are still useful.
The salary will not be small, and there is one minute to consider, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.”
The car suddenly fell silent.
There is also a blade in Bees' shoes for self-defense, but even a ruthless man as famous as Augustine was beaten like this, and he was really unsure of his success.
