Chapter 675: Edwards, General Manager of Leland Group!

Edwards has worked at Leland Group for many years, working his way up to his current position as chairman and general manager of Leland Group.

Among them, 95% of Leland Group is state-owned and 5% of the shares are privately owned.

Before the Leland Group was sold to the Imperial Group, this company was involved in too many problems, leading it to the current situation.

In terms of personal feelings, Edwards was unwilling to sell the Leland Group to an individual, especially to Sir Yang, the richest Chinese man from Hong Kong.

"Mr. Edwards, you have two choices now. First, according to the contract, you can resign with any amount of compensation. Second, you can continue to stay in Leland Group and work for me."

Resign?

Or stay.

Edwards had long guessed that this day would come.

He has struggled in the automotive industry and even the Leland Group for so many years. Now that he is asked to leave and transition to other companies, he may not be able to adapt to it, but Edwards still wants to stay.

"Sir Yang, I want to stay at Leland Group."

"If you want to stay, what should you do?"

What should he do?

Edwards looked at the young Sir Yang, and he knew that he would naturally be responsible for the new boss.

In the past, I was only responsible to the company and the workers.

Things are different now. After the Leland Group was privatized and turned into a company of the Imperial Group, it is no longer the same as before.

"Sir Yang, I should be responsible for you."

"Okay, you realize that this issue is important, and we can talk further."

"First, why does the Leland Group still suffer such serious losses every year despite having such good support resources and even monopolizing the automobile market in Country Y?"

If this problem is not found, then what is the significance of Imperial Group's acquisition of this company.

Yang Ming is a capitalist, not a philanthropist. It is impossible for him to buy such a large automobile group to support those workers in Country Y.

"Sir Yang, regarding the issue you raised, our management and even country Y have discussed it many times. In terms of the system, they think it is caused by nationalization."

As a result of nationalization?

"The Leland Group was not privatized before nationalization, so why did it suffer such serious losses?"

When Yang Ming asked this question, Edwards was a little embarrassed.

Over the years, country Y has been switching back and forth between nationalization and privatization. The problem lies with the conservatives and workers. In addition, the most critical thing is that these companies were originally in losses and had to merge to optimize resources. of.

However, in fact, whether it is privatization or nationalization, it is of no use. Instead, like Country Y, it is increasingly declining.

At this time, Leland Group's problems are already serious. If the problems are not identified and changes are made, they will be even more serious in the future.

"Sir Yang, there are also issues with the top-down management system, employee welfare issues, etc."

Edwards said a lot there.

Yang Ming still shook his head and nodded again.

"There are indeed problems with your management system, but they are not the most critical. There are also big problems with your employees' welfare, but they are not the most critical."

The current internal management system of Leland Group is somewhat chaotic, not to mention employee benefits.

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 of RMB at that time, 1:6.

That is to say, at that time, a cleaner in country Y earned 600 RMB a week, and an elevator worker earned 900 RMB a week.

At that time, Mr. Wang, who was sent to country Y for inspection, was shocked by the weekly salary of ordinary people in country Y.

At that time, the monthly salary of ordinary people in the country was only a few yuan. You can imagine how high the overall income of ordinary people in country Y was in 1978.

The income of Leland Group from top to bottom, from the management to the ordinary people below, is very high.

Even if the salary and benefits do not meet the requirements of employees, they will immediately go on strike to protest. Employees don't care whether you affect the company's operation, 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 in this aspect.

"Sir Yang, are you going to fire those employees?" Edwards asked in disbelief.

Leland Group now has hundreds of thousands of regular employees, and each employee affects a family. If Sir Yang fires some employees in order to make Leland Group profitable, I am afraid that as soon as this news is spread, the entire Leland Group will protest.

"I promised Mrs. Satchell that I have no intention of expelling some people."

Edwards was really worried that Sir Yang was really going to fire those employees, and he was afraid that there would be trouble then.

"Edwards, I can tell you that there are many employees involved in Toyo's Toyota, Honda, and even Japanese cars. But why are Toyo's cars getting better and better since the 1970s? The most important part of Japan’s national GDP and national income is its reliance on massive exports.”

How many people are there in the entire country Y?

In 1980, the population of country Y was just over million.

However, there are more than 100 million people in the entire East.

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 1000s, Japan has exported more and more cars every year, with the highest number exceeding 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 export?"

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’ve 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, with a large combined population, consume a lot of cars every year, but the markets of these countries are gradually being 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.
