Deep Space Technology US Electronics Industrial Park, somewhere in Ohio, USA.
Three years ago, this place was once the factory area of a well-known international company. However, as the company's profits decreased and its business shrank, the factory here declared closure.
After Deep Space Technology was allowed to enter the North American market, it took over the old factory here and carried out comprehensive upgrades, turning it into today's Deep Space Technology North American Electronics Industrial Park.
This industrial park has a complete set of deep space technology intelligent product production factories. According to Meng Xiaobai's plan, more than 70% of the products sold to the North American market in the future will come from here.
As for why factories are not established in areas with cheaper labor, it is because this is the exchange condition reached by Deep Space Technology when it enters the North American market and local officials.
Currently, this industrial park has recruited nearly 30,000 employees, most of whom are local Americans.
During this time, the entire Deep Space Technology Ohio Electronics Industrial Park was busy. After several months of transformation, debugging and adaptation, they were about to start producing the first batch of products.
However, things did not develop smoothly.
The day after Meng Xiaobai's negotiations with the capital giants from the Round Table broke down, Meng Xiaobai received reports from the Ohio Electronics Industrial Park that their production plans may have to be postponed, and the specific date cannot be determined.
"The main products in the North American market will come from this industrial park. If it cannot be produced regularly, our products will not be available for sale. Every day this industrial park is delayed, our investment in the North American market will increase by one million US dollars. If it is delayed for several days,
Within a month or even half a year, our layout will be completely destroyed!" Pan Yu emphasized.
"Old Ke, what's the specific situation?" Meng Xiaobai made a video connection to Ke Yang, the person in charge of Deep Space Technology's U.S. headquarters.
Keyang had previously served as an executive at Google for decades, and later joined Nebula Technology Co., Ltd. and was responsible for developing the Nebula mobile operating system. After the establishment of the U.S. headquarters of Deep Space Technology, Meng Xiaobai sent Keyang to serve as the current headquarter after careful consideration.
General person in charge.
Because he knows the country’s system best and is one of the world’s top elites in technology and business management.
"The current situation is very serious!" Ke Yang used the adjective "serious". "Someone reported to the local Labor Relations Committee that we have some employment problems. Just today, the Labor Relations Committee and the local workers' union sent representatives
Come and investigate."
"What's the real situation?" Meng Xiaobai asked.
"According to the company's requirements, our factory construction and management are in compliance with local policies. But if someone insists on looking for trouble, it's hard to say that they can't find the fault." Ke Yang answered truthfully.
This is the saying that if you want to inflict a crime, there is no reason to hesitate.
Meng Xiaobai knew very well that those people had taken action. Their energy was indeed powerful, and they would stop production in the American Industrial Park of Deep Space Technology as soon as they took action!
For this project, Deep Space Technology has invested nearly 10 billion, and it also involves the issue of whether the product can be released as scheduled, so he must solve it as soon as possible.
"What do you think?" Meng Xiaobai asked, not knowing the specific situation.
Ke Yang said: "I have contacted a state legislator and he is willing to help us solve some legal issues. The most critical issue now is the intervention of the workers' union!"
"Now the Industrial Relations Commission requires us to deal with worker issues, and some workers are inciting the public to demand the establishment of their own workers' union in our industrial park."
"Once they are established, according to local laws, if workers have problems, our management cannot go to the workers directly. Instead, we must submit the problem to the union and let the union manage the workers. But the union was established by the workers themselves, and the management power rests with the union.
superior."
"In other words, if it is not handled properly, our factory will actually fall into the hands of the labor union?" Meng Xiaobai tried to understand it this way.
"Yes, that's pretty much what it means." Ke Yang nodded.
"These people have so many tricks!" Pan Yu lamented, "They are so insidious!"
The market environment in the United States is completely different from that in China, and different rules also bring different business methods. If you use the rules skillfully, you can completely eliminate your opponents.
In their history, there have been many cases of using rules to annex large multinational companies, and various merger cases are bloody lessons.
After some exchanges, Meng Xiaobai learned more in detail. Now, Herbert, a member of the local Labor Relations Committee and the local state assemblyman, is investigating the matter. He is strongly pushing the workers to form a union for self-management.
The local union representative Jerome has begun mobilizing and campaigning among the workers, and has even begun to prepare for a strike, demanding the establishment of a workers' union.
At the request of the Labor Relations Board, they must hold a union establishment vote in half a month. Once the vote exceeds 50%, local American workers have the right to establish a union for self-management.
At that time, half of the management rights of the industrial park fell into the hands of the union, which would cause unbearable losses to the Deep Space Technology American Industrial Park!
"We must not let their plan come true!" Meng Xiaobai was originally going to the U.S. headquarters of Deep Space Technology in California. When this happened, he immediately changed his destination and headed to Ohio.
…
Ohio, Deep Space Technology Electronics Industrial Park.
In the conference room, Meng Xiaobai had just finished listening to the management's report. There are some Americans in the management of this industrial park, which makes it easier for them to manage and operate.
"Andrew, tell me what you think." Meng Xiaobai asked the industrial park director. He is a white man born in New York State and a professional professional manager.
Andrew nodded and said: "According to my many years of experience in managing American companies, especially factories, if the union is successfully established, the efficiency of the factory will be greatly reduced. It is undeniable that the original intention of the union is to protect workers' rights."
"But it often turns into a rotten cesspool. We treat our workers very well in Ohio. I dare say they won't find such good job opportunities anywhere in the state if they leave here."
"
"But they are not satisfied yet, demanding higher wages and shorter working hours, asking us to pay more for medical insurance and transportation expenses... Especially now that there are many people who are unfavorable to our enterprises among the union representatives, this will
It has become a bottomless pit and brought down our factory."
On this point, the management present unanimously agreed. Deep Space Technology’s treatment of employees is already very generous, with the highest hourly wages and the best benefits in the area. Because of the high degree of automation, the work here is also very easy and the working hours are short.
, the locals are rushing to apply for the job, fearing that they will not be able to get in. If there are still people making trouble, it is closely related to someone who is sowing discord.
