The Rockets' home court is still a sea of red. Amid the cheers of the fans, the Rockets attack smoothly up and down. Center Hakeem Olajuwon shows off his power inside and teaches Magic center David Robinson how to behave every minute.
, almost beating the opponent to pieces.
On the outside, the glider Drexler frequently showed off his power, leading a group of shooters to penetrate the Yangtze with a hundred steps, and they could make whatever shots they wanted.
After three quarters, the Rockets led by 27 points, 89:62, making the fourth quarter early garbage time.
Courtside
Wang Yaocheng, who was dressed in casual clothes, was smiling, but his eyes had lost focus and he was already drifting away, with all his thoughts flying to the outskirts of New York.
The game in front of them is everything to the Rockets players and management, but to Wang Yaocheng it is nothing, just a successful investment.
With many thoughts hidden in his heart, Wang Yaocheng did not take time to deal with the people around him. He just sat there quietly, and no one dared to disturb him.
lingering in the heart;
Armonk, New York, three factories codenamed a1, a2, a3...
Before the start of the game, Wang Yaocheng received calls from the New York State, the Department of Labor and the White House, and had a cordial chat with the commander-in-chief for several minutes. He felt extremely stressed.
During the phone call, the leader first congratulated the Rockets on their great success this season and wished the Rockets an early defense of the championship. However, the focus was still on the strike in New York State, which touched people's hearts every minute.
Not much to say, but the meaning is very clear, no matter what, end it all as soon as possible.
As the strike entered its third day, relevant reports spread like a snowflake. All the unreasonable demands put forward by the union were published in newspapers, arousing heated criticism among the people.
There are sympathizers, opponents, people who enjoy the show, people who take advantage of the opportunity to find a sense of existence, and all kinds of people are on the stage.
Fierce comments were made on this social hot topic, ranging from workers' rights to corporate competitiveness, from the concept of money to social tendencies, from the American dream to social responsibility, the topics were all-encompassing, and even extended to the threat theory of China.
It's just a hodgepodge.
Amid the chaos, someone with an eye could smell something unusual.
Atlantic Business Machines negotiators have been in contact with the union for three consecutive days, and the time has become shorter each time. The most recent time it took only ten minutes for the union to break up.
What can we talk about in ten minutes?
This shows that the positions of the two sides are too far apart and there is no way to reach an agreement at all.
In Armonk, New York, three factories codenamed A1, A2, and A3 are actually on strike, affecting not only 8,300 workers, but also nearly 50,000 workers in the downstream industry chain.
The phone call from the general manager made it clear that he was highly concerned about this and focused on this, hoping to resolve the dispute between labor and management as soon as possible.
No matter how labor and management deal with it, the leader has not taken a position on either side, but it should be limited to a certain range and not expand the damage and cause substantial harm to the computer industry. This is undoubtedly true.
Many accessory factories with small profits cannot withstand such a big turmoil. They are likely to close down and go bankrupt due to the fierce game between labor and management.
This is a disaster that no one wants to see.
The overwhelming cheers interrupted Wang Yaocheng's thoughts. The Rockets players on the court cheered loudly, including the substitute players off the court who jumped excitedly and rushed into the court.
Victory, the Rockets defended the 1994-1995 league championship.
The players excitedly bumped their chests in celebration, and the fans sang "God Bless the United States" loudly. The enthusiastic Compaq Sports Center instantly turned into a sea of joy, and people were enjoying the glory of the victory.
Wang Yaocheng shook hands with the players who had made great achievements, as well as the team management and league president David Stern. As for what to say, he himself didn’t know.
Soon, the awards ceremony opened grandly at the Compaq Sports Center.
However, reporters discovered that there was no trace of Rockets owner Wang Yaocheng, who seemed to have been lost in the huge crowd of people celebrating.
houston airport
A group of four black Chevrolet SUVs drove into the tarmac. Wang Yaocheng got out of the car with a solemn expression, his black hair fluttering in the breeze, and he looked at the urban area in the distance without any nostalgia.
“Mr. Chambers, let me give you a word;
I believe you are the best manager in the world. Just do what you need to do. All decisions made by Atlantic Business Machines will be supported unconditionally.
I only have one request, quick!"
After saying that, Wang Yaocheng threw his phone to Zhang Shuguang beside him and said with a cold expression: "Let's go back to the mainland."
New York
Standing in the five-star hotel suite, Mr. Chambers quietly put down the phone, feeling like a warm current flowing through his limbs. The trust of his boss gave him the greatest courage.
"The boss's phone number?"
"Yes, the boss supports all our decisions."
"So……"
Mr. Chambers looked at Zhao Feng calmly, showing a cruel taste; "Sitting in this position, I must be responsible for the company, the boss, and all the decisions I make. At this difficult moment,
I hope you can support me unconditionally."
"We can't escape." Vice President Zhao Feng's eyes showed determination; "Cut the knot with a quick knife, I support you."
that day
Atlantic Business Machines held a press conference to announce the latest decision, and the company's CEO, Mr. Chambers, issued an ultimatum to the striking companies.
At 8:30 a.m. on the second day of the restriction, all workers must abide by the labor contract and report to work on time, and the company will forget about it.
As for all unreasonable demands mentioned by the union, they will be rejected without the next round of negotiations, and those who do not start work on time after 8:30 in the morning will have their labor contracts completely cleared, and they will be held liable for compensation in accordance with the contract.
June 13 is the last date. If the production lines cannot operate normally, the company will close all three factories, fire all employees, and hold relevant personnel legally responsible.
Treating toughness with super toughness is the official stance of Atlantic Business Machines.
As soon as this statement came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
At this time, some thoughtful people discovered that Wang Yaocheng, the boss behind the company, had already flown to China, leaving a mess for the CEO, Mr. Chambers, to deal with, and he could no longer be involved.
Reporter: "Mr. Chambers, what made you make such an impersonal decision? Was it pressure from the boss behind the scenes?"
Chambers: “All decisions made by the company are made within my own scope of authority and are in compliance with U.S. law.”
Reporter: "Once the factory closes, more than 8,000 workers will lose their jobs, more than 8,000 families will lose their main source of income, and tens of thousands of people will lose their livelihood. This is simply a social disaster. What do you have to say about this?
?”
Chambers; "Atlantic Business Machines Company pays each worker generous wages, with an average annual salary of $37,200, which is 166.4% of the annual salary of ordinary Americans. The union's demand is doubled on this basis. This is according to a Harvard University professor
level.
Atlantic Business Machines cannot afford to employ 8,300 professors. It is just a factory, and the assembly line requires people with hands and feet to do the work. No company is crazy and would pay such a high salary.
Holding an illegal strike before the contract period is reached, using malicious blackmail to force the employer to compromise, causing huge losses and adverse effects to the company, is not what a normal worker should do.
They are a group of greedy vultures with insatiable desires.
I am very happy that one day I can make the decision to close three factories in New York. Greed is the original sin. May God forgive them."
The reporters were in an uproar...
Reporter: "Do you speak on behalf of yourself or the boss?"
Chambers; "Only speaking for me personally, the chairman left a message before leaving the country, expressing unconditional support for any decision I make, no matter what aspect."
Reporter: "Can it be understood that the boss, the boss, has escaped?"
Chambers; "The Wang Consortium owns dozens of companies and hundreds of thousands of employees. It is impossible for the chairman to have the energy to intervene in every matter. Business operations require a team of managers to make decisions. As the CEO, I am concerned about this."
