Chapter 814 Questions
Povsky still trusts and attaches great importance to William, the "old friend of the Polish people". Not only because of the long-term support of White Lotus, but also because of the sincere intention of this young American.
Since the drastic change, the new government of Solidarity Trade Unions has also vaguely felt something was wrong. The generous financial support from European and American countries in the past suddenly tightened, while those who promised more aid were very little. In particular, many harsh conditions were attached, such as liberalization of finance, market opening, and full opening of foreign capital privatization, etc. In a word, the food is quite ugly.
In this way, will the officials of the new government be happy? To put it bluntly, even if they embezzle state-owned assets, we should be the main one? Why do you foreign capitalists want to take them all away when they talk? Therefore, the national sentiment and perception are getting worse and worse.
There is only Bailianhua, a company that follows its promises, has no excessive conditions, and has not been involved in popular "fat meat" such as banks. It has continuously solved the problems of the new Polish government, and has undertaken the arduous task of resettlement of nearly 50,000 employees, and has still had new investments. Compared with the two, it is a world of difference.
After all, people are emotional animals, so when I saw William today, Povsky seemed quite enthusiastic: "Mr. William, I have long admired your name. What problems do your company need to solve? We will solve them for you immediately."
William also smiled: "My Excellency Minister, forgive me for being straightforward. If the biggest problem is the placement, we have no intention of breaking our promises, but we cannot tolerate some inefficiency."
Povsky suddenly became serious and asked, "Can you tell me the situation in detail?"
William smiled: "There are external factors and internal factors. I think we should be honest in our private communication and not avoid our problems, but we should not avoid your problems either."
Seeing Povsky nodding thoughtfully, William continued: "The external reason is that your currency depreciates too quickly. Although we are constantly increasing wages and benefits, it cannot keep up with the level of price increases. This has led to workers being unable to feel at ease when working, and whenever wages are paid, a large number of employees are taking leave to rush to buy supplies. For this reason, we have also taken some measures, such as appropriate relaxation of holidays, replacing part of the wage payment, part of which is paid in foreign currency, and the increase in wages is linked to the price increase, etc., but these have led to our business confusion. God can testify that we have not thought about reducing workers' income, but in fact this happens often, so we hope that you can ensure the basic stability of exchange rates and prices."
Povsky quickly promised: "Mr. William, we have temporary economic difficulties, and I hope you can understand the pain during the reform period. But our new government will solve the economic stability problem as soon as possible."
William nodded and accepted Povsky's statement. He continued: "Mr. Minister, we can understand the external factors and can be overcome in the short term, but the key is the internal factors. It should be said that most of our employees are very hardworking, but there are always a few black sheep. They don't want to work, but they just want to incite workers' movement to improve welfare. Indeed, we also hope to protect workers' welfare within a reasonable range, but those who have theft and absenteeism cannot be fired? And wages and benefits cannot be lost? This is a bit too much, right? Not only do we have other employees damaged, but we are also an operating enterprise after all, so we must not ignore profits, right?"
Povsky also deeply feels the same way. His butt determines his head. When they were opposing the party, they hoped that the bigger the street movement, the better. However, now that they have become the ruling party, they have to consider developing the country's economy? Where did you come from when you strike every now and then? Moreover, the situation in Eastern European countries is a bit overcorrect. Trade unions do need to protect the rights of workers, but they cannot be unlimited? Like the above mentioned above, theft and absenteeism and wages are paid? This is also unbearable for any company?
However, the trade unions and the workers' movement are the basic foundation of the new government, and Povsky and others cannot express their opinions publicly against the current political correctness. So he asked vaguely: "Mr. William, what do you think?"
William said bluntly: "We will never reduce the resettlement of 50,000 employees, but we hope that there will be a reasonable turnover of personnel, and the employment of new employees will be tilted towards the families of old employees. For those employees who violate the law and discipline, we hope that they can be expelled. Of course, we will use this right very carefully and negotiate with the union and obtain understanding before expulsion. If the union objectes, a hearing can be held for representatives of both parties to attend."
After hearing this solution, Povsky felt that it was acceptable in principle. After all, the problem of 50,000 employees was not affected, but it was nothing more than which one of them. However, he added: "I personally feel that I can try it. But I hope that government labor representatives can attend the hearing?"
"That's definitely the best, and we'll definitely welcome it." In fact, whether it's Jing Jian or Bai Lianhua, it doesn't pay much attention to companies in Eastern European countries such as Poland. Those employees who promise to be resettled are fine. The main thing is to pay leaks during the drastic changes. But if you support you, you can get your salary honestly, and it's boring to often cause trouble. Therefore, with Povsky's promise, it's a step further. "Mr. Minister, we will also gradually carry out property rights reforms, and will include the distribution of equity in the employees' year-end bonuses, so that the interests of employees and the interests of the company are truly tied together."
When he heard this, Povsky's eyes lit up: "This is good! This is what makes workers truly the owner of the enterprise. I hope you can come up with a plan as soon as possible to learn from our new government's privatization. In addition, let me tell you good news, the construction of the securities market will be one of the primary work goals of our new government. We hope that your enterprises will become the first batch of listed companies in Poland."
"hehe."

If Eastern Europe is mainly influenced by political movements, the problem with China is... the government is so enthusiastic about all economic development affairs, and it is even so enthusiastic that it is a bit overwhelming.
