Chapter 3854: Digging Into Capitalism

Jessica finally nodded and agreed. 冰x-on:火!中文 .Although she was extremely bad at it and even felt afraid, she was willing to try hard and help Lin Feng. Prove her value of existence beside Lin Feng.

The most important thing for a person to survive is to prove his or her own value. Otherwise, people will be corrupted and decayed. Whether you are as lowly as a peddler or as noble as a president, if you cannot prove the value of your existence, your life will be blank. As long as you can prove the value of your existence, your life will be full of meaning.

The women around Lin Feng, Lin Chiling, Avril, and Lee Ji-woo have all found the value of their existence, and now she has also found the value of her existence. Therefore, she will not give up this opportunity and will try hard to help Lin Feng manage Chrysler. Although she may not succeed, she will try hard.

"Don't worry, it won't be too difficult. There will be professional managers to help you solve all the trivial matters. All you need to do is to make decisions on the general direction and supervise these professional managers. If you really encounter any difficulties, I am here!" Lin Feng gently held Jessica's face and pecked her red lips, "I will always support you behind you."

Jessica nodded heavily.

The next day, Lin Feng took Jessica to the Chrysler headquarters. Here, after Lin Feng signed with Daimler-Benz and Chrysler, Chrysler belonged to Lin Feng. Of course, the manager of Goldman Sachs' investment department also accompanied him. And Abby Cohen, the former chief investment analyst of Goldman Sachs, also came to the scene to assist Lin Feng in completing the transaction.

"Everyone, happy cooperation!" Lin Feng signed readily, "Jessica, from now on, Chrysler belongs to you!"

This transaction, totaling US$8.7 billion, was funded by Jessica, Lin Feng, and "Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile" to acquire Chrysler. After the acquisition, Chrysler's name remains unchanged and its brand image is retained. However, Chrysler and 'Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile' will conduct in-depth cooperation and launch new joint venture cars. As for the situation in this regard, we will discuss it in detail later. On the investor side, Jessica obtained a loan of 3.48 billion US dollars from Goldman Sachs with 40% of Chrysler's equity, and became the largest shareholder of Chrysler. Lin Feng personally invested 3.045 billion US dollars to become the second largest shareholder of Chrysler, owning 35% of Chrysler's shares, while 'Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile' invested 2.175 billion US dollars to become the third largest shareholder of Chrysler.

"Mr. Lin, Chrysler belongs to you now, and as for some of the talents, I think maybe we can introduce and recommend them to you, so as to help you control Chrysler as soon as possible!" Chrysler's original shareholder came to flatter.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness. However, I have no confidence in these managements in the current situation of Chrysler.

The second largest automobile company in the United States has become what it is now. If the management is not responsible, it is probably unreasonable. Therefore, I only promise that none of the workers will be fired. As for these managements, they will compete again and the fittest will survive." Lin Feng said loudly.

Many shareholders of Chrysler curled their lips. Originally, they had some thoughts and recommended some people to ensure that they and others had some influence in Chrysler. Not to mention controlling Chrysler, at least they could get some inside information, which would help them enter the stock market at the right time and make a fortune. But now it seems that their wish cannot be realized. Although Lin Feng did not start with the auto workers, he was ready to start with the management. This would not only deter a group of scoundrels, but also save a lot of expenses, and the outside world would never say anything to him.

After all, it is normal and reasonable for the management to be fired.

After sending away these capitalists, Lin Feng met with the workers' representatives. To Lin Feng's surprise, Mr. Hydeman was also among the union representatives. Although he was not the union chairman, he was the vice chairman. This was really beyond Lin Feng's expectations.

"Mr. Hydeman, this is really fate!" Lin Feng sighed.

"Mr. Lin, it is indeed fate. I didn't expect that my invitation would bring us our savior!" Mr. Hydeman sighed, "Mr. Lin, I believe that under your leadership, Chrysler will surely return to glory, and Detroit will surely become the city of cars again!"

"Of course, as long as we all work hard, there will be no problem!" Lin Feng said confidently.

Then, with Hydeman's introduction and lubrication, plus Jessica's father is also an old acquaintance of these unions, the two sides quickly reached an agreement. In 27 years, Chrysler's 230,000 auto workers all received a basic annual salary, which is $190 per year. This is the local average annual salary calculated by the city of Detroit. Although it is less than the average annual salary of more than $20,000 in the United States, everyone is convinced that as long as everyone works hard, the salary will definitely increase next year. Lin Feng promised that their salary would increase as much as the company's profit. Now, with everything in ruins, they can only get low wages for one year at most. As long as they can make a comeback, they will get a salary that all auto workers envy next year!

"Boss, these workers are solved, what about the management? There are still more than 10,000 managers? What should we do?" Lin Chiling asked. She has already made statistics on these management information through Chrysler's personnel files. However, with so many people, it is really not easy to carefully distinguish which ones are talents and which ones are waste materials. It will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. The usual routine is to retain these people first and then slowly select them later to ensure the normal operation of the company. But Lin Feng rejected it outright, which made it difficult to handle.

"Zhiling, don't use these people. This means that the Ministry of Commerce may be playing dirty tricks behind the scenes! You know, no matter how free, civilized, and enlightened the United States is, society is ruled by people. When people rule, there are loopholes and loopholes. Flaws." Lin Feng explained.

"What should we do now?" Lin Chiling asked helplessly.

"It's very simple, tell all workers that they can participate in the competition for all positions, including the position of vice president, and then let the workers vote and let them vote. We have strict control over these management The top management doesn’t understand, but the workers do. I believe that their choice will be the most correct choice. After all, their future depends on the leadership of these managers and they will lead the company to the end. , it will be even worse next year. Therefore, they will definitely select the person who they think can best lead the company to glory!" Lin Feng said confidently.

When Lin Feng announced this election method, all the workers were stunned. They are just the most ordinary auto workers, blue-collar workers, the most basic blue-collar workers. But now not only are their wages involved in the company's dividends, but they even have the final say in the appointment and dismissal of the company's management. This makes these auto workers, first of all, For the first time, I truly felt like I was in charge.

"**! He actually used socialism! Is he trying to poach capitalism in the United States? Or is he planning to promote socialism in the United States!" After hearing the news, Minister Gutierrez said, He was so angry that he almost bit off his tongue.

What is capitalism! That's all the capitalists have the final say. Although the United States is a civil society, its composition is still an oligarchic economy. The oligarchs should have the final say in all this. Especially in the commercial field, it is entirely the investors who have the final say as to who to appoint and remove, and who not to appoint or remove. At most, it is the shareholders who have the final say. When will it be the turn of these ordinary workers? This is simply ridiculous!

What do these workers know? They are just a bunch of rough guys. Apart from doing some hard work on the assembly line, what can these workers do? Even some of the technicians are just technicians. They can handle some steel. Isn't it a joke to select suitable management talents?

"Lin Feng will definitely fail!" Gutierrez said coldly.

"I believe he will definitely fail! This kind of election method has never been used to select management talents. Even if it is a national presidential election, it is only selected among the elite." Felica agreed.

Socialism doesn’t work in capitalism. Lin Feng's self-righteous choice will definitely make him suffer a huge humiliation. When the management elected by these workers brings the company into the abyss, let's see how Lin Feng explains to the public!

Not only does Gutierrez think so, but so does the entire auto industry. This kind of election law seems fair and just, but it is also an almost crazy gamble. Workers are relatively blind, and they will be at a loss when choosing. They will choose based on their senses. They will choose whoever they feel is good to them and who takes care of them. This is standard Xiaomin thinking. With this selection method, those qualified managers who strictly implement the company's policies and have iron-blooded tactics will be instinctively eliminated by the workers. As for Chrysler's current situation, it needs someone with a strong hand to rectify the situation and lead Chrysler back on the road to glory. But such people will be instinctively rejected by workers. I think it should be okay to find someone who is a little less capable but more gentle. And sometimes it's a little bit worse, but in the end it's a lot worse.

While the outside world watched the joke, Chrysler workers were quickly elected. With the help of the Internet, 230,000 workers quickly selected candidates from vice president to monitor. To everyone's surprise, almost all of those selected by these workers were extremely strict and ruthless people, but they had real talents and practical abilities. This point directly shattered everyone's eyes.

You know, even people like them would be a little reluctant to use such harsh and inhumane people. After all, who doesn't love flatterers? People who are good at flattering will still be liked by others even if their abilities are just a little bit inferior! But what happened to these workers! (To be continued.
