Chapter 3852: Impolite, but I Like It

"We must unite as one, we must unite the strength of all workers, and in this subversive transaction, we must ensure the rights and interests of all workers. We must advance and retreat together," Chao raised her arms and shouted.

"Unite as one, ensure the interests!" All the workers shouted.

Felisca, who was standing by, witnessed all this and nodded with satisfaction. Although Chao is of Chinese descent, she actually has no ties with the Chinese. The United States is a truly tolerant country, and all ethnic groups can find their own position and value in the United States. In other countries, it is rare to see a first-generation Chinese American woman enter the cabinet. Of course, it is not just Chao, but also his old friend and the person he currently serves, Carlos Gutierrez, who was also born in Cuba and is a first-generation Cuban American.

Cuba and the United States have always been mortal enemies, much worse than the relationship between China and the United States, and have been in tension and friction because of their close neighbors. But Gutierrez can still enter the US cabinet and become the US Secretary of Commerce. This is impossible in other countries.

Because of this relationship, both of them are first-generation immigrants, Chao and Gutierrez have a good personal relationship. Therefore, he came forward to help Gutierrez. Otherwise, as a member of the cabinet, Elaine Chao would not have to condescend to come to Detroit as the Minister of Labor to communicate with these workers and lead them to negotiate with Lin Feng. This was entirely out of friendship.

With Elaine Chao's appearance, Felisca believed that Lin Feng would regret rudely driving Gutierrez out. There is a price to pay for driving the US Secretary of Commerce out to blow the wind! Felisca grinned.

At this time, the crowd suddenly stirred, and the stirring seemed to be getting louder and louder. In the end, the whole crowd seemed to be calling for a voice.

"Lin Feng! Lin Feng is here!" Felisca heard the stirring sound coming from the square clearly.

Lin Feng is here? Did he finally come after hearing the news! Hehe, it's good to come, it's so boring if he doesn't come!

As the crowd separated on both sides, Lin Feng brought three beautiful female secretaries and Jessica Alba, the main person in charge of this acquisition, to the square and came to Elaine Chao.

"Mr. Lin, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Elaine Chao, the Secretary of Labor of the United States. Ms. Chao, this is Mr. Lin Feng!" Kilpatrick introduced.

Chao smiled.

"Mr. Lin, nice to meet you. This is our second meeting. I never thought that every time we meet, we are opponents. You always represent the capital side, and I represent the labor side. Since everyone is here, why don't we talk about the relevant labor conditions after this acquisition here, in front of all the workers!" Chao said loudly.

"I am very happy to do so. Otherwise, Minister Chao would be useless if she came here like this! By the way, who is this gentleman?" Lin Feng looked at Feliska and asked.

"Feliska, Chief Economic Advisor of the Ministry of Commerce! It's our first meeting. Please take care of me!" Feliska stretched out his hand.

Lin Feng carefully looked at the Chief Economic Advisor of the Ministry of Commerce in front of him, stretched out his right hand, but stopped when he was about to shake it.

"Felisca, to be honest, if I don't shake hands with you, I will appear to be very rude and petty. But as for you and what your department has done, I am very unhappy and particularly disgusted. So, even if the outside world says that I, Lin Feng, am petty and impolite, I will still do this." As he spoke, Lin Feng retracted his outstretched hand, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards Zhao Xiaolan.

Embarrassed, ashamed, and angry, his cheeks flushed. Felisca finally felt the anger that Gutierrez had when he was driven out by Lin Feng yesterday. If he had a gun, he would have wanted to shoot Lin Feng immediately. This guy is so hateful!

Zhao Xiaolan frowned. She had only had a brief contact with Lin Feng, and that was to sign a large-scale labor agreement for the Chinese workers who built the "Windy City". On that occasion, she represented the US Department of Labor and fought for some benefits for American workers. However, although she had met Lin Feng, the two sides did not have much contact. And today, she really got to know Lin Feng for the first time. This guy really doesn't care about the opinions of the outside world, and he does what he wants. But if you say he is really annoying, it's not entirely true.

Don't you see that at this moment, the Detroit workers in the square spontaneously applauded. Originally, she had used her **'s speech and real problems to make these workers stand on her side for a short time, but Lin Feng came over and said nothing, just a handshake, and instantly pulled the hearts of these workers back to his side, allowing him to gain the upper hand again. If you say this kind of person is a nouveau riche, a local tyrant, do you believe it?

"Minister Zhao, this is the second time we meet, so we are old friends, so we won't be polite and get straight to the point to avoid wasting everyone's time. After all, these workers also hope to start work as soon as possible and support their families as soon as possible." Lin Feng said loudly.

Before Zhao Xiaolan spoke, many workers had already nodded and applauded. Indeed, they are all grassroots workers, and things like Starbucks are not for them. If they have the time, they would rather be with their family, or sleep at home, or work more to earn some money, rather than stand here and listen to a debate.

He has the upper hand again, and this time he's in trouble! Zhao Xiaolan whispered. However, she is confident that at the current stage, she can strive for the best interests for workers. She was willing to come this time not only because of her friendship with Gutierrez, but also because of the auto workers in Detroit.

"Everyone!" Lin Feng took the microphone from Mayor Kilpatrick and ensured that all the workers in the square could hear his voice.

"Dear Detroit auto workers and former Chrysler workers, here I want to guarantee three things!" Lin Feng said loudly.

All workers, please calm down. They want to hear what three points Lin Feng is prepared to guarantee.

"First, I made this acquisition for love, for my sweetheart Jessica, and her original intention was because her father used to work at Chrysler. Although he is no longer here, he is worried about the current situation of Chrysler, so I Therefore, the first thing I promise is that no worker will be fired within one year. Of course, as for why it is said within one year, it is because Chrysler is in a state of serious loss and must be transformed. , all workers must be retrained. If the training is not up to standard, I can only say that you will be eliminated. Of course, this is by no means a disguised dismissal of employees. If I, Lin Feng, really want to fire employees, then I will fire them immediately. I won’t give you a one-year deadline. Believe me, I, Lin Feng, am definitely not that hypocritical.” When Lin Feng said this, he glanced at Felicia, “I believe in Mr. Felica, the chief economic adviser of the Ministry of Commerce. You should know this very well!”

Many workers burst into laughter. Indeed, Lin Feng is such a cheerful person, otherwise he would not have failed to shake hands with Felicia, the chief economic adviser of the Ministry of Commerce. You know, this is a very rude thing and will give outsiders an excuse to attack Lin Feng. But Lin Feng still did it and did it stubbornly. This only shows that Lin Feng is a cheerful person. Since he is a cheerful person, he will not do this trick of delaying dismissal. What's more, Lin Feng's reputation has always been trustworthy.

No one will be fired, and everyone will be given one year of training to carry out industrial transformation. This satisfies all workers.

"The second point is that your wages must be reduced. I know that many people will be dissatisfied, but now your wages are too high, and the company is currently in serious losses, so a wage cut is inevitable. Of course, while reducing your salary, I will also give you the right to increase your salary. After the acquisition and reorganization, the salary of all of you will be adjusted by department according to the company's performance. What do you mean, if this year? If the company loses 10%, your salary will be reduced by 10% in the coming year. On the contrary, if the company makes a profit of 10%, your salary will increase by 10%. It is a complete performance salary, and everything will be determined by the company's performance. If the company's profits increase by 100%, OK. , your salary will increase by 100% next year. I, Lin Feng, have never been a stingy person. I always believe that making money depends on everyone. If everyone works hard enough, then I believe that everyone can make a fortune through hard work. Realize the American dream!" Lin Feng said grandly, "As long as the company's interests are good, I definitely don't mind letting the company's most ordinary blue-collar workers earn an annual salary of more than one million. As long as we become the most profitable company in the world, I can let you become it. The world’s highest-paid blue-collar workers!”

Buzz! This moment directly caused all the auto workers in the square to fall into a state of dizziness. All worker wages fluctuate with the company's profitability. God, this is unprecedented. For a long time, on both sides of labor and management, workers' wages have been far behind the company's profits. In most cases, if the company makes money, it has little to do with the workers. At most, it just means more money during the year-end dividends. But once the company is in a loss, it is inevitable for workers to have their wages reduced or be fired. In this case, workers are always a vulnerable group. Lin Feng's promise undoubtedly gave workers the right to be the masters of their own affairs. They are no longer just workers, but also employers, but they have no equity.

Zhao Xiaolan was also dumbfounded. This promise is too domineering. Workers' wages are directly linked to the company's performance, and their wages fluctuate at the same level as the company's profits. This is really domineering. In the automotive world, no one has done this yet.

No need to wait for the third guarantee, these workers may have completely surrendered! All your efforts are in vain! To be continued.
