Chapter 562 Acquiring Colesle 1
The main characters always appear at the last moment, and Long Jianhua arrived in the United States on November 8.
At this time, Yuwen Xing had finished his preliminary work.
Seeing Yuwen Xing at Detroit Airport, Long Jianhua felt a little moved - he lost at least 10 kilograms, and his originally slim figure looked thin at this time.
As the two hugged each other, Long Jianhua patted his back, "Yusheng, thank you for your hard work."
Yuwen Xing laughed, "It's really hard. However, if the defense is not passed, all the hard work will be in vain."
Then he pushed him away, "However, I made a pre-defense and it still feels very promising."
He has been in the United States for nearly a month, and the relevant agreement has been signed and he has obtained 88% of the shares of Clares, with absolute control.
After getting on the bus, he said with a bitter face, "The union here in the United States is terrible. The pension burden of Claresle is too heavy. This is all thunder. The steel mill is easy to deal with, so if it doesn't work, it will be sold. And their M-1 tanks, I don't know how to deal with them."
"During the first exchange, some MPs asked about M-1, but it was difficult to answer, so I could only ask you to explain their doubts to them in person."
Long Jianhua nodded, "Actually, this is still based on the plan we have planned. Otherwise, if we export, we will sell it or increase the price; if they don't place an order, they will change that factory into an automobile manufacturer. We can't hold back us."
"This transaction will definitely be successful. We have paid a deposit of 10% in advance, and creditors are more urgent than us. The government's taxes are not urgent, and banks, pensions and other companies will be urgent."
"If the US government really thinks that the presidential election is over, they are wrong."
Yuwen Xing gently patted the backrest of the co-pilot, "If it doesn't work, we will quickly build the automobile factory in the Special Administrative Region and kill them directly. Although they sell left and right, there are still more than 200,000 people engaged in automobile production, which is a big number."
Long Jianhua said nothing.
If things have not reached that point, you must not be discouraged.
I came here to talk about economic interests, so I can't be angry.
In general, the current US government is more urgent than the Chongshi.
Although he hired Ikoka as the new president since 1978 and wanted to do a good job in Corles Le, his luck seemed to be bad. First, at the end of the economic crisis, then in the oil crisis. The losses were astonishing year by year. In 1978 and 1979, the losses in 1980 were 250 million, 1 billion and 1.7 billion US dollars respectively.
By the end of 1980, Claresle Automobile had owed 2 billion taxes, 1.2 billion loans, 1.2 billion pensions, and 1 billion other owed 1 billion. This was the result of Akoca's response action in early 1981, asking creditors to convert their debts of 100 million US dollars into equity, thus saving 100 million US dollars interest.
He also knew that Clares would turn losses into profits in 1983, but it still has huge losses now, right?
It is also because of this that no automobile company takes over and is waiting to go bankrupt; and Akoca does not want to file for bankruptcy protection for Claresle, thinking that this is the biggest blow to the brand.
It can be said that Collesle is now a hot potato in the United States. No matter which political party it is, it is eager to throw it out...
On the morning of the 9th, Long Jianhua and Yuwen Xing met with the union head at the Detroit Automobile Union. The negotiation opponents included union chairman Witford and vice chairman Downey Jon and seven others.
Among American companies, the union organization of Claris Le can be said to be very powerful, and has a history of being against Claris Le. In 1937, the union organized a 29-day strike, and Claris Le finally surrendered.
Long Jianhua went straight to the point, "Mr. Witford, Mr. Dorneyjon, and everyone, I, the Chongshi Group, want to intervene in the automotive field by acquiring Claresle; in order to cooperate friendlyly in the future, I hope to show the sincerity of both of us and reach a friendly cooperation agreement."
"Everyone has also seen that Collesle is in a bad situation now, and all the wages of blue-collar workers have been frozen this year, but that's not all. If we continue to follow this trend, we will have many workers unemployed."
Yuwen Xing secretly glanced at him, then turned his head back.
I sighed in my heart that Longsheng is different. He wants to control the market and establish his own negotiation momentum.
The union people are very clear about the current situation of Claresle; although this situation has nothing to do with them, they should continue to take what they should take, but if the content of the conversation today is leaked, it will still have a great impact on their reputation.
Since when, American manufacturers have slowly moved their factories out of "union fortresses" areas such as Detroit, Philadelphia and Trenton, and eventually moved overseas, causing their power to be greatly weakened; however, the current union power is still extremely powerful.
Downeyjon said expressionlessly, "Mr. Long, we are a trade union and must guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of workers. The All-Mi Auto Workers Federation is an organization that represents workers to seek better wages, benefits and work environments. If we do not do this, the meaning of this organization's existence will be lost."
Long Jianhua said lightly, "The interests of workers should be protected, but the interests of investors cannot be ignored. For example, the workers have a series of rights such as overtime wages, paid vacations, and a salary of up to $17 per hour, but they cannot get it and may lose the job due to the company's bankruptcy. Why not do some actual things?"
"If you continue to stick with it, the Corles Le can auction fixed assets and the workers' wages can be taken back. What will happen in the future? Where will they go to work? Do they live on unemployment benefits?"
"The relationship between workers and enterprises is not an opposition, but a symbiosis. There is an old saying in China, "If the skin does not exist, where will the hair be attached?" This is what it means."
"I hope that after Chongshi Group acquires Clares, there will be no requirement to continue to increase wages within 8 years; of course, if the company's efficiency improves, we will take the initiative to increase wages to workers."
"Our companies in Xiangdao and Europe have higher salary than the local average salary, which we actively increase."
Dorney Jung stared at him and said, "Mr. Long, this is the United States, not the Island of Xiang or Europe."
Long Jianhua laughed and stood up and said, "Since that's the case, there's no need for us to continue talking."
After saying that, he turned around and left, causing the union to look at each other.
As soon as Long Jianhua left, Yuwen Xing and others stood up. He shrugged, "I'm sorry, when encountering a principled problem, Mr. Long's attitude is so firm."
Witford spread his hands, "Mr. Yu, let's find some time to talk?"
Yuwen Xing said lightly, "Mr. Long is the chairman and president. He has decided on something, and there is not much room for negotiation."
After saying that, he led the others to the door.
A entourage whispered, "Mr. Yu, is Mr. Long's move useful? What if the union is tough to the end?"
