I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 822: Massive layoffs
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Future Group Building, Jiang Chen came to work as usual.
It has been two weeks since the funeral of the four soldiers. At least the island of Coro has returned to calm. At least the tourists who have traveled on the island have not felt the tense atmosphere of the previous days. The only difference is that the security around the airport and terminal has been strengthened a lot. The number of patrol drones stationed near the Futurian Building has also doubled. In the future, Renhe Heavy Industry has been recruiting people, and the production line of the arsenal in the Anga Industrial Park has been constantly turning.
Walking into Jiang Chen's office, Xia Shiyu gently placed a stack of documents on the corner of the desk.
"The company ’s financial report came out last month, do n’t you plan to read it?"
"Tell me whether it is positive or negative."
"Last month, the company's total revenue was $ 4.7 billion, a year-on-year decline of 13.7%. If the situation cannot be improved next month, it may fall again by about 4-5 points," said Xia Shiyudun. After a while, he continued, "After all, we have lost the whole of Europe."
Jiang Chen picked up the financial report and looked at it.
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Layoffs to the European branch." Xia Shiyu said without hesitation.
"May cause brain drain." Jiang Chen does not agree with this view.
“Reservation of normal salary for senior and technical staff, and suspension of pay for grassroots employees will save us a lot of expenses. I do n’t deny that in the future Renren Group can really afford these employees, but if we lose the European market for a long time We have to make longer-term plans. We do not even rule out the temporary closure of the European branch, leaving only one firm to maintain patents and trademarks, and relocating the entire corporate executive to the headquarters of Penglai or Coro Island. "
Xia Shiyu's judgment is not wrong.
She is based on the judgment made by the CEO of Future Group. If the European Commission is determined to fight against Futuristic Group, Futuristic Group will find it impossible to move forward in the European market, and there is basically no means to fight back.
There are precedents to follow internationally.
In the second half of 2013, the European Commission launched a double-reverse investigation against three Chinese photovoltaic companies. Even if the decision of the European Union at that time lacked sufficient legal basis, it was contrary to the spirit of free trade advocated by Western countries, but the sanctions decision was finally implemented.
Affected by this, three photovoltaic companies were forced to withdraw from the MIP agreement and were levied a high tariff of 47%. After the result of the ruling, the two photovoltaic companies Zhongsheng and Yuhui announced that they would no longer ship to Europe from China and shift their market focus to China, Japan and South Korea.
If resistance comes from the policy side, then there is no way for companies.
Since you have to leave sooner or later, it is better to simply cut off hundreds of thousands of you and take the executives and technical talents to pat the **** and leave.
Seeing Jiang Chen did not make a decision, Xia Shiyu sighed and continued.
"... At this stage, the future nutritional mixture of human organisms is being investigated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the results will be released a week later. From the current situation, although Tao Ming holds a press conference continuously Declared that the nutritional mixture did not have any problems, and even drank two bottles on the spot, but the results of the investigation may be detrimental to us. "
If it had been before, Jiang Chen would probably come to the front of the table and greet the ancestors of the European Commission for the layoffs.
But now, he behaves unexpectedly calmly.
Although the result is the same.
"Issuing new country visas for senior executives and technicians, as well as settlement fees. Those who are willing to follow the job transfer, the salary is increased by 20%. Those who are not willing to follow the job transfer, first take two years of paid leave."
The tax rate in the new country is different from that in Europe with high taxes and high benefits. Even if the wages remain unchanged, these European employees who emigrate to the new country can get much higher wages than working in Europe.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen paused for a moment and crossed his fingers on the table.
"Except for Future Bank, all the 315,000 grassroots employees of the Group's subsidiaries in the EU are laid off!"
With 315,000 employees, the monthly salary of the Renren Group is close to 1 billion US dollars. Layoffs are commonplace in the capitalist world, and morally, the future group of people will not be blamed.
However, the countries of the European Union are afraid that it will be uncomfortable. After all, there are more than 300,000 unemployed people, even if it is shared among the countries. This is the case in high-welfare countries, where the unemployed must be supported by the government.
"As for Britain ... wait and see for now." Jiang Chen continued.
The United Kingdom is no longer within the EU, and has not yet responded to the butcher's knife laid down by the Freemasonry. However, if the United Kingdom also followed the shot against the Future Group, Jiang Chen does not matter, anyway, he has given up on the European market.
At least until the Freemasonry collapsed, he did not intend to return.
"Yes."
Xia Shiyu nodded and turned away from the office.
......
The European Commission is killing the future group with great joy, and everyone with a clear eye can see that the EU is determined to copy Jiang Chen ’s “home” in Europe. However, just three days before the results of the EFSA's investigation on the safety of nutritional mixtures were released, the Future Group suddenly announced that its industry will be completely withdrawn from Europe and laid off 315,000 employees. The remaining problems ...
After receiving this news, the European Commission, which was in a meeting to discuss how to attack the Furen Group, quieted down.
You see me here, I see you, I open your mouth, no one said a word for a long time.
Since sitting at the top of the conference table, European Commission President Juncker still pondered Lin Ling for a long while, holding a pen and tapping the notebook, breaking the silence on the conference table.
"Do you need to continue the discussion?"
"... layoffs? 320,000? Are they crazy?" The commissioner from Germany was unbelievable about the news.
After all, one-third of the employees of the Future Group are concentrated in Germany, if the news is conclusive. Then in the first second, there were more than 100,000 unemployed homeless people in Germany.
"It seems that they are real." The French commissioner looked at his watch, and then closed the pen cover and the notebook. "It seems that the meeting can be ended in advance. It is we who won. The future group crowed from Europe with its tail Run away ... Thank goodness, this errand is finally over. "
When he voted in favor of a series of investigations by the Future Group, he also faced considerable pressure.
People are not as fooled as they seem. A series of European Commission initiatives clearly bear this strong local protectionism. Perhaps entrepreneurs are happy to see that such a competitor is missing, but in the eyes of those people who have a good impression of the future group, this behavior is not as popular as when they investigated the Chinese photovoltaic company.
After all, the average person will not be exposed to photovoltaic devices every day, but every day they will definitely use future mobile phones, and the world ’s only nerve access device-the phantom helmet.
Even if this is a grant from Freemasonry, it is these voting members and the government behind each voting member who needs to withstand the pressure of public opinion.
"Then the meeting is dissolved."
Commissioners from various countries have left the meeting. Although they won, they do n’t know why, and there is no happy expression on everyone ’s face.
When leaving the venue, the German Commissioner for Foreign Affairs Flamon made two calls, one to Mr. President and one to an old friend in Freemasonry. When he returns to Germany, I am afraid that some of him will be busy ...
While it is true to win, Flamon always has the illusion of being defeated.
It must be an illusion. (To be continued.)
