Chapter 854: . Crisis (5/5)

The helicopter landed on the apron of Holden Motor Company. The skinny camel was larger than the horse. After all, Holden was the car brand that once ruled Oceania for half a century. It is easy to understand that they have an apron in their company. .
Kaplan shook hands with Wang Bo and praised, "Hello Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have heard many friends mention you that the Green Party is the youngest promising young man."
"Also, I'm very interested in Sunset Town. Unfortunately, I'm busy with business and haven't had time to play, but I will definitely take my family to take a vacation in Sunset Town after I get a little free next year. That has become a holiday paradise."
Wang Bo smiled and smiled: "Thank you very much for your recognition of Sunset Town. I think it's really good to have a vacation with us. I welcome the general manager to Sunset Town."
After a bit of embarrassment between the two sides, Kaplan took the lead and asked: "I heard President Alexander say, are you going to purchase a batch of high-end tourist buses?"
A few people behind Wang Bo looked weird. Kidd whispered to Hani: "No wonder this guy is so enthusiastic that he thought we were here to send money."
Hani said calmly, "Don't talk, let the boss handle it."
How does Wang Bo cope? This expectation gap is a little big, how did Vachona convey it to him? He clearly said that the sunset town needs a batch of high-end tourist buses, and it needs to be the same as the purchase? !!
So he called haha ​​and said, "Oh, our town really needs a batch of such cars now. You know, the bus system in New Zealand is too bad. We want to build a bus network ourselves."
Kaplan agreed and nodded: "Yes, New Zealand should build a more effective public transport system. We have all seen that there have been demonstrations on public transport price increases all over the country a few days ago."
Wang Bo didn't see the news, but he was very happy. It turned out that not only Sunset Town encountered this problem.
Kaplan went on to say: "Our Holden cars have been transformed into agricultural vehicles and buses. I bet there will be no car in New Zealand doing better than us in this regard. Why not visit our production line?"
It's not that they brag, Holden can have this confidence, especially in terms of buses.
Holden has been best at building auto body and trim from 80 years ago to now. The buses do not have high requirements on the engine and gearbox, and they have the highest requirements on the comfort of the car body.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Kaplan, Holden Automotive Chief Engineer and designer, they boarded the electric tour bus and headed for the dragon-like factory building.
It can also be seen how bad the situation of Holden Cars is now. A town's business can make them attach importance to it. If it is for Wajona, Kaplan and his subordinates will welcome Wang Bo and his party. Instead of bringing designers from New Zealand companies.
Wang Bo shot them on the road first: "Horton's excellent self-evident, I think the reason why it can't win the big market is mainly because of publicity. You lack good advertising."
Kaplan expressed a very agreeable expression, and said, "Yes, Mayor Wang, I knew you were an expert in industry at the words."
"Yes, we just lacked exposure, which caused market share to drop again and again. But our Holden car is such a concept, based on strength, speak with quality!"
Wang Bo was stunned when he heard these words. Do you have the face of Holden Cars saying that they are based on strength? Dare to say that you speak with quality?
Of course, he knows that Kaplan is also despising him now. The problem of Holden cars is definitely not a simple publicity issue. They invest a lot in car promotion costs every year.
Entering the plant, the busy production line is revealed.
After all, this is the top car production line in developed countries. It may be said that it was the top car brand of the past. The production line is highly mechanized, and the factory buildings are spotlessly clean and extremely beautiful.
Wang Bo nodded constantly, and when he entered the second workshop, two middle-aged people suddenly ran out.
One of them took off his clothes and showed his chest: we want to eat, and the weekly salary cannot be lowered any more.
Another middle-aged man shouted, "Mr. General, please pay us unemployment benefits! We have worked for Horton all our lives, and you can't do this to us!"
Wang Bo knew what the two were talking about. The reason for Zhou Xinstandard was that even if he tried his best, Horton's losses did not stop. The media had already revealed that now Horton doesn't make money at all. The cars all lost money.
Under this predicament, Horton wanted to start a labor talk and decided to reduce the weekly salary standard of $ 280 for employees.
In other words, Holden employees now work for a full month and earn less than $ 1,200. Of course, the premise of these employees to take this income is that the weekly working hours are less than 40 hours.
But this income is too low. When employees come to work, they come to work to make money, leaving everyone idle and not making money. What's the difference with unemployment? How could employees be willing!
It was embarrassing. Kaplan did not bring security guards with him this time. He brought technicians to answer technical questions raised by Wang Bo and his party.
When the crisis of violence emerged, he couldn't solve it immediately.
Next, Wang Bo saw a scene that stunned him. The general manager of Tangtang Automobile Co. went to persuade the two:
"You go back to work first, the company is in transition, it is in a painful period, and it will be fine in the future. After we successfully transform and occupy the market, the dismissed employees will be recruited back!"
"The weekly salary standard is set by the headquarters. This is an unreasonable standard. I will protest. You can rest assured that this standard will never be implemented in the company! As long as I am there, then ..."
"What if you're gone?" An employee asked immediately.
Kaplan flatly said: "That's impossible, my position will not be a problem, you can rest assured ..."
"We're not talking about your position, we're talking about your people," the man interrupted him again, "what if you die in office?"
Wang Bo felt a little sympathy for Kaplan. He was reflecting. Is it too impersonal to want to sponsor himself at this time?
After reflection, he felt that this was okay, not inhumane. In the business talk, which capitalist is not bloody?
It was just that he was a little worried. Given the situation of Holden Motors, he probably couldn't get sponsorship.
The two people apparently came to find the difference. Kaplan very wisely avoided their entanglement and signaled the chief designer to leave with Wang Bo and his party.
He couldn't walk away by himself, and the two stopped him, so that Wang Bo couldn't stand it, and pushed him away to take Kaplan. (To be continued.)
