Chapter 675 Edwards, General Manager of Leland Group!
Edwards has worked at Leland Group for many years, and has gradually risen to the position of chairman and general manager of Leland Group.
Among them, 95% of Leland Group is state-owned, and 5% of the shares are private.
Before Leland Group was sold to Empire Group, this company was involved in too many problems, so that it fell into the current situation.
Personally, Edwards is unwilling to sell Leland Group to an individual, especially to Sir Yang, the richest Chinese from Hong Kong.
"Mr. Edwards, now you have two choices. First, according to the contract, you can resign, and the compensation is still the same. The second is to continue to stay in Leland Group and work for me."
Resign?
Or stay.
Edwards had guessed that there would be such a day.
He has been working in this automotive industry and even Leland Group for so many years. Now he is asked to leave and transform to other companies. I am afraid that he will not adapt. Edwards still wants to stay.
"Sir Yang, I want to stay in Leland Group."
"If you are willing to stay, what should you do?"
What should he do?
Edwards looked at the young Sir Yang. He knew that he had to be responsible to the new boss.
In the past, he was only responsible to the company and the workers.
It is different now. After Leland Group was privatized and became a company of Empire Group, it is different from before.
"Sir Yang, I should be responsible to you."
"Okay, you realize that this problem is very important. We can talk about it further."
"First, why does Leland Group still suffer such heavy losses every year with such good support resources and even in the situation of monopolizing the automobile market of Country Y?"
If this problem is not found, then what is the meaning of Empire Group's acquisition of this company.
Yang Ming is a capitalist, not a philanthropist. He can't buy such a large automobile group to support those workers in Country Y.
"Sir Yang, regarding the issue you raised, our management and even all aspects of Country Y have discussed it many times. Among them, in terms of system, they believe that it is caused by nationalization."
Caused by nationalization?
"Then Leland Group was not privatized before nationalization, so why did it also suffer such a serious loss?"
When Yang Ming asked this question, Edwards was a little embarrassed.
Over the years, the nationalization and privatization of Country Y have been switching back and forth. The problem lies with the conservatives and the labor faction. In addition, the most important thing is that these companies were originally in a loss, so they had to merge to optimize resources.
However, in fact, whether it is privatization or nationalization, it is useless. On the contrary, like Country Y, it is declining.
At this time, the problems of Leland Group are already very serious. If the problems are not found and changes are not made, the future will be even more serious.
"Sir Yang, there are also problems with the management system from top to bottom, employee welfare issues, etc."
Edwards said a lot there.
Yang Ming still shook his head and nodded.
"Your management system does have problems, but it is not the most critical. There are also big problems with your employee welfare, but it is not the most critical."
Now the internal management system of Leland Group is a bit chaotic, not to mention employee welfare.
Many industries in Country Y have the best employee benefits. In 1978, an ordinary cleaner earned 100 pounds a week, and an elevator operator earned 150 pounds a week.
According to the exchange rate with RMB at that time, 1:6.
That is to say, a cleaner in Country Y earned 600 RMB a week, and an elevator operator earned 900 RMB a week.
At that time, Mr. Wang, who was sent to Country Y for investigation, was shocked by the weekly salary of ordinary people in Country Y.
At that time, the monthly salary of ordinary people in China was only a few yuan. It is conceivable that in 1978, the overall income of ordinary people in Country Y was very high.
The income of Leyland Group from top to bottom, from management to ordinary people below, is very high.
Even if the salary and benefits do not meet the requirements of employees, they will immediately strike to protest. Employees don’t care whether you affect the operation of the company or not, as long as it does not affect their quality of life.
In terms of employee benefits, Edwards is deeply aware that even the annual financial subsidies are basically subsidized to this aspect.
"Sir Yang, are you going to fire those employees?" Edwards asked in disbelief.
Now Leland Group has hundreds of thousands of formal employees, and one employee affects a family. If Sir Yang fires some employees in order to make Leland Group profitable, I am afraid that as long as the news is spread, Leland Group will protest.
"I promised Mrs. Satchel that I don't plan to fire some people."
Edwards was really worried that Sir Yang really wanted to fire those employees, and he was afraid that it would be troublesome.
"Edwards, I can tell you that now Toyota, Honda, and even the entire Japanese car in Japan, they also involve a lot of employees, but why have Japanese cars been getting better and better since the 1970s, becoming the most important part of Japan's national GDP and national income? It's because of relying on large-scale exports."
How many people are there in the entire country Y?
In 1980, the population of country Y was only more than 50 million.
However, the entire Japan has more than 100 million people.
Even then, cars, like cars, are not consumables. It is impossible for ordinary people to replace a car every year. In other words, most of Toyo's cars are exported.
Since the 1970s, Japan has exported more and more cars every year, with the highest number exceeding 10 million. What is the concept?
Today, Japan has a population of more than 100 million, but 10 million cars are exported to other countries every year, earning a large amount of foreign exchange.
But is it possible here in country Y?
Except for Rolls-Royce and Bentley, which are the world's most luxurious car exports, Country Y's other ordinary cars are basically consumed domestically, and only a few cars are sold in a year.
In this case, in country Y, when the per capita income of ordinary people in Japan is about the same, Japan's automobile manufacturing industry is indeed very developed, while country Y is shrinking day by day.
"Sir Yang, you mean by mouth?"
Edwards finally grasped the problem.
"Compared with Toyo Motors, Country Y's cars are not inferior to Toyo Motors in terms of appearance and quality. However, they cannot compare with Toyo Motors in terms of exports. Country Y has a very important advantage. , I have never been sure.”
Yang Ming continued to look at Edwards and said: "Originally, the biggest advantage of Country Y's cars is more than that of Toyo. Most of Toyo's cars are exported to Country M, Nanyang and other places. Country Y owns Federation Y, and its most important markets include Canada. , Australia, New Zealand, India, etc. Especially these countries have a large combined population and consume a lot of cars every year. However, the markets of these countries are gradually occupied by Toyo Motors. "
Because of the special relationship between Country Y and Federation Y, many products used to sell well in Federation Country Y, but they have gradually stopped selling in recent years.
Edwards was even more surprised after hearing this.
If all these Y federal countries had Leyland Group cars, I really can’t believe that sales would at least double.
"Besides this, there is another most important market. Do you know who it is?"
Yang Ming looked at Edwards and Kayla.
The two thought for a while.
Edwards asked: "Sir Young, is it South America?"
Kayla said: "Boss, I don't know who it is."
"Next door to Xiangjiang is mainland Z." Yang Ming said directly.
This is the real future market that Yang Ming mentioned!
At this time, not only Edwards was surprised, but Kayla was also shocked.
Because Edwards never thought about this.
