At 9 a.m. New York time on the 4th, Zhao Chunmei held a press conference in New York.
As the center of the strike storm, a full day has passed in the United States, and all kinds of negative news have come from outside.
Although Xiangjiang Hengyu Supermarket Group held a press conference on this matter, as the US headquarters of 7-Eleven, it had been rectifying the company's affairs and did not release any news to the outside world.
This time Zhao Chunmei held a press conference in a place like New York, which naturally attracted the attention of many media. This was not only the attention of many media in the United States, but also several major media in Hong Kong, Baodao China News Agency, Mainland Xinhua News Agency, the British Sun, France
Reporters from AFP, Reuters and many other world media came to attend the press conference.
After arriving at the press conference, Zhao Chunmei expressed her gratitude to the media reporters who arrived. She said: "Today, as the vice president of Hengyu Supermarket Group and the deputy general manager of 7-11 Company, I specially held this press conference to discuss the strike.
Explain the incident."
A reporter from the Los Angeles Daily News immediately asked: "Ms. Zhao, just the day before, you were the vice president of Xinghong Sports Group. I don't know why you gave up your position in Xinghong Sports Group and chose to go to Hengyu Supermarket Group.
?”
Xinghong Sports Group has a strong influence in the American sports world, especially in the Los Angeles area, and has attracted the attention of various local media. As the vice president of the group, Zhao Chunmei is naturally the target of their focus and interviews.
Xinghong Sports Group has just experienced the handover of the president. The group is currently on a road show and will be officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange in a few days. During these extraordinary times, Zhao Chunmei has been transferred from the group, and according to the news they received, the group executive
Vice President Liu Haichuan is presiding over work at the 7-11 headquarters.
These high-level transfers will still have a certain impact on Xinghong Sports Group, and the market value of the listing will definitely suffer a certain degree of loss.
Zhao Chunmei said with a smile: "I believe everyone understands which platform is broader between Xinghong Sports Group and Hengyu Supermarket Group. The profits, scale and market value of both parties are very different. Choosing to join Hengyu Supermarket Group can
It gives me a broader platform to display my talents.”
Zhao Chunmei then began to announce the group and company's decision regarding the 7-11 strike. "According to the group's decision, our company will pay off the wages of the employees who participated in the strike yesterday and terminate them all. At the same time, our company's legal department will
Take the lead in organizing those who participated in the strike to sue and claim compensation for the losses caused to the company."
Zhao Chunmei's announcement caused a stir. More than 600 7-Eleven employees participated in the strike this time, nearly half of the entire 7-Eleven employees in the United States. Hengyu Supermarket Group had no intention of negotiating with these employees and directly
The impact of dismissal is quite large.
And looking at the meaning of Zhao Chunmei's words, Hengyu Supermarket Group has no intention of letting it go. Those who took the lead will be sued by Hengyu Supermarket Group. This farce may not end in a short time.
This is a farce in the major media. Some people originally thought that this strike would cause trouble for 7-11 and even Hengyu Supermarket Group. Unexpectedly, 7-11 would move faster. It’s just that 7-11 is convenient in the United States.
The store will resume normal business.
This means that the Lee Consortium can have enough employees to replace these strikers. They, the media, have nothing to do. They know that many convenience store employees used to work in Feiyu, Hongyu, Phoenix, Xingyu and other specialty stores.
Salesperson.
Other companies may be worried because hundreds of employees are on strike, but the Lee Consortium is not afraid of this. You must know that 7-11 is not fighting alone, and there is a huge Lee Consortium behind it.
The reporter from the Los Angeles Daily News didn't know whether it was true or false that he asked such a poor question at the beginning. These groups are all owned by Li Guangyu. This requires arranging some high-level transfers. It is simply a matter of one sentence.
Xinghong Sports Group and Hengyu Supermarket Group are obviously the same company, so it is very normal for them to be transferred immediately.
Even though the Los Angeles media regards Xinghong Sports Group as a treasure, in the eyes of Li's consortium, this group is basically the last thing on the list. Hengyu Supermarket Group is the pillar group of Li's consortium.
A reporter from the Washington Daily asked: "Ms. Zhao, this is related to the work of more than 600 employees. If you fire more than 600 people at once, you are afraid of having a very bad impact on society. Have you not considered discussing with employee representatives and
Will the union communicate and negotiate to resolve this issue?"
"Our company will never be coerced into agreeing to any conditions. Our company has always fulfilled its responsibilities in compliance with laws and regulations. These employees are on strike illegally, which we will never accept, and our positions will not be replaced this time.
The reduction is just a replacement of a group of people who are willing to work. Since these employees feel dissatisfied with our treatment, we also wish them a satisfactory job."
Zhao Chunmei received a notice from the group headquarters yesterday that this time a zero-tolerance attitude will be implemented and no employee will be left to participate in the strike.
And this morning, she personally received a call from Li Xuelan, asking her to clean up these cancers, create files, and send them to the human resources departments of major groups. These personnel will never be able to enter the Li Group again.
Corporate work.
A reporter from the British Reuters asked: "Ms. Zhao, according to our Reuters on-the-spot interview in England, supermarket employees in London are able to accept the new reform plan of Hengyu Supermarket Group, but there is a scene in the United States. Is it because of this?
Is it caused by the differentiated management implemented by Hengyu Supermarket Group?"
Because the economic conditions of each market are different, the wage system of Hengyu Supermarket Group in various regions is also different. The outside world has also had some discussions on this, and everyone is speculating whether the reform system of Hengyu Supermarket Group in the United States has some differences.
question.
Since Hengyu Supermarket Group's stores are spread across many regions around the world, including both developed and developing countries, one system is not suitable for all places.
Although there are forces behind the scenes this time, such a large-scale strike would not have happened if the system itself had not caused many employees to have opinions.
Zhao Chunmei said: "The salary and salary adjustments we implement in various places fully take into account the actual local conditions. As long as employees work normally, their salary will not be lower than their previous salary. If they work harder, their salary will definitely be higher.
high.
Of course, for those employees who are not enterprising and don't work hard, the salary will definitely be lower than the previous job. After all, we are a company, not a nursing home, and we don't need idlers here."
When Zhao Chunmei held a press conference, employees on strike in some eastern states had received notices from regional managers in each city, asking them to go to the regional managers' offices to settle their wages and go through the resignation procedures.
7-Eleven's legal department has not been idle and has begun preparing litigation materials and preparing to file a lawsuit with the Dallas Court in the United States.
