After Liu Haichuan and Zhao Chunmei received Gan Qin's notice and reported the situation to President Sis Poulos, they immediately booked flights from Los Angeles to Dallas.
At this time, reporters from many TV stations and newspapers in New York, Dallas and other places were interviewing the strikers, and several TV stations with wide coverage in the United States even conducted live broadcasts.
Outside a 7-Eleven store on Fifth Avenue in New York, countless media reporters gathered around to interview the store manager and employees.
A reporter from ABC, one of the three major radio and television stations in the United States, asked: "Manager Reddick, why did you choose this form to express your dissatisfaction?"
J.R. Reddick showed no stage fright in the face of so many media. He said: "The main reason why we chose this method this time is that Hengyu Supermarket Group did not consider the interests of lower-level employees at all and allowed us to work smoothly.
Without guarantees, some of their systems clearly violate labor laws."
The reporters below sounded even more excited. They are not afraid of big things. The more lively things are, the better, so that more people will pay attention.
It is unknown to the outside world what the turnover of Hengyu Supermarket Group is, and the specific profits are even more speculative. However, the outside world knows very well that Hengyu Supermarket Group will never be lower than Wal-Mart, and Wal-Mart's market value is now close to 20 billion US dollars.
Well, based on the fact that Hengyu Supermarket owns all its stores, its market value is definitely much higher than that of Wal-Mart.
And for such a huge group, its employees openly claim that its regulations violate labor laws. This is a very serious matter.
NBC reporter asked: "Redick, can you reveal to us some of the regulations of Hengyu Supermarket Group?"
J.R. Redick said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem. I also hope that through you, the whole world will know the face of Hengyu Supermarket Group as a core capitalist.
Hengyu Supermarket Group has implemented a new system since January. Let’s not mention supermarket stores. In terms of our convenience stores alone, 50 store managers will be fired every year.
This is still under the current scale. In the future, as convenience stores continue to increase, more people will be fired every year. This is incompatible with our labor laws.
Moreover, a large number of salary adjustments have been made, which has significantly reduced the benefits of our lower-level employees, which is also the main reason why the employees are on strike this time."
Jiayi Group and Xiangyu Culture Group also have reporters in New York, and they also came here. Naturally they were very angry when they heard J.R. Redick slandering Hengyu Supermarket Group.
Jiayi reporter rushed to the front and said: "Mr. Redick, you have taken Hengyu Supermarket Group's system out of context and smeared the image of Hengyu Supermarket Group in the outside world. I'm afraid you will never be able to afford the loss of reputation in your lifetime.
I don't know whether you are ignorant or emboldened. I hope you can leave yourself a way out. It is best to respond to the questions from all walks of life truthfully.
Otherwise, when things really happen, I don’t know if the forces behind you will dare to show up. The reputation of Hengyu Supermarket Group is not something you can slander."
Most of the people present felt like they were in the mirror. This was a battle between the Lee Group and the American Group. How else could 7-11 suddenly go on a large-scale strike? Why did they suddenly receive orders from above to come early?
How could J.R. Redick have the courage to stand up and criticize Hengyu Supermarket Group when interviewing such a small person?
What they have to do is spread the word as quickly as possible through the media. They will not care about the truth. They only need to use this matter to damage the reputation of Hengyu Supermarket Group in the United States and even around the world.
As for what will happen next, it is not something that little people like them can decide. It will be nice to watch a big show then. The Li Group will definitely not give up this time. In the past few years, the Li Group has never flinched in the US market.
.
J.R. Redick was not afraid of the threatening words of the Jiayi reporter. He had already been promised that after this incident was over, he would be able to obtain a large amount of funds, and then he would buy a farm and live a happy life.
If you live a comfortable life, you don't need to live an insecure life in Hengyu Supermarket Group.
Although what he said was taken out of context, the meaning is similar. The Hengyu Supermarket Group said nice things about laid-off and retraining, but it just wanted them to resign themselves.
Moreover, employee salaries and benefits have indeed become lower, and they are not as guaranteed as before. Now you need to rely on performance, but there is no dead salary to get. If the performance is too poor, you can only get the basic salary. This is definitely something that can only be done by black-hearted capitalists.
What happened was that giants such as Wal-Mart and Sears did not do this.
Even if the Li Group takes him to court, he is not afraid. In the United States, there are forces behind it, and what he said is partly true. At most, it is just a misunderstanding. Hengyu Supermarket Group has nothing to do with him.
J.R. Redick said: "What I said are all facts. The relationship between Jiayi Group and Hengyu Supermarket Group represented by this lady is not shallow. According to rumors, the controlling persons behind the two groups are the same person. You are busy working for
I understand Hengyu Supermarket Group’s defense very much, but I hope you can have your own professional ethics and that media people should report events fairly and objectively instead of seeking benefits for a certain force.”
Reporters from ABC, the New York Times, Washington Daily, and other media are all well-informed people. Who doesn’t know that Jiayi Group and Hengyu Supermarket Group are actually owned by Li Guangyu. Although these groups are backed by major funds, Tianyu Financial Group is holding
shares, but no matter how they are converted, these groups are controlled by Li Guangyu.
At present, they don't know which consortium is at odds with the Lee Consortium, but they believe that the manipulators behind the scenes must be very powerful. Otherwise, how could J.R. Redick have such confidence to stand at the forefront of the storm.
Jiayi reporter said: "As far as we know, after the implementation of the new system of Hengyu Supermarket Group, as long as people work hard, their salary will be much higher than the current salary, and the so-called dismissal is made out of nothing. Hengyu Supermarket Group just hopes
More capable personnel will lead the development of the company. As for those who retire as store managers, the group will also provide training to enable these employees to adapt to their new positions.
If Mr. Reddick thinks you can get a high salary without doing anything every day, I think you are not suitable to survive in the United States. The place where you can eat from the big pot is in Eastern Europe, not in the United States, nor in capitalist society."
J.R. Redick obviously does not want the topic to be led to the Soviet Union and the American system. Such words are quite detrimental to them. The Soviet Union is currently the number one enemy of the United States. After years of propaganda, all walks of life in the United States are quite hostile to this country.
He said: "Miss, the rules of Hengyu Supermarket Group are clearly capitalists' oppression of employees. The so-called "more work, more work" is just a slogan. Employees are expected to work hard, but cannot provide employees with protection at their jobs.
Each employee is worried that they may lose their current job in the next year, and this rule violates employees' rights."
Jiayi reporter smiled and said: "Your view is really ridiculous. Can you continue to hold each position after you hold it? Is your president lifelong? I think you are really suitable to go to Eastern Europe. That's where you are."
