Chapter 822 (1/2)

Future people group building, Jiang Chen as usual came to the company to work. At least two weeks have passed since the funeral of the four soldiers. At least, the island of Koro has returned to calm. At least, tourists who come to visit the island have no longer felt the tense atmosphere. The only difference is that security around the airport and docks has been greatly enhanced. The number of patrol drones stationed near the futureman building has doubled to normal. The future of heavy industry has been recruiting people, ANGA Island Industrial Park, the production line has been changing constantly.

Walking into Jiang Chen's office, Xia Shiyu gently puts a pile of documents in the corner of the table.

”The company's financial report came out last month. Don't you want to see it?”

”just tell me whether it's positive or negative.”

”Last month, the company's total revenue was $4.7 billion, down 13.7% from last month. If things don't get better next month, it's likely to fall another 45 points or so, ”she said, pausing.” after all, we've lost all of Europe. ”

Jiang Chen picked up the financial report and looked at it.

”Do you have any good suggestions”

”to lay off staff in European branches?” Xia Shiyu said without hesitation.

”It could lead to brain drain.” Jiang Chen does not agree with this view.

”The high-level and technical personnel keep the normal salary, and the grass-roots staff stay without pay, which will cut a lot of expenses for us. I don't deny that futuren group can afford to support these employees, but if we lose the European market for a long time, we must plan for the longer term. It is not even ruled out that the European branch will be closed temporarily, and only one office will be retained to maintain the patents and trademarks, and the top management of the whole enterprise will be relocated to the headquarters in Penglai City or Koro island. ”

Xia Shiyu's judgment is correct.

Her judgment is based on the future people group EO. If the European Commission is determined to fight against futuren group, it will not be able to move forward in the European market, and there is basically no means to fight back.

There are international precedents to follow.

In the second half of 2013, the European Commission launched a double anti investigation on three Chinese photovoltaic enterprises. Even if the decision of the European Union at that time lacked sufficient legal basis, it also violated the spirit of free trade advocated by western countries, but the sanction decision was finally implemented.

Affected by this, three photovoltaic enterprises were forced to withdraw from the IP protocol and were imposed a high tariff of 47. After the verdict came out, Zhongsheng and Yuhui announced that they would no longer ship from China to Europe, and shifted the focus of the market to China, Japan and South Korea.

If the resistance comes from the policy side, then the enterprise has no way at all.

Since you have to leave sooner or later, it's better to go simply. You can directly lay off hundreds of thousands of people and leave with senior executives and technical talents.

Seeing that Jiang Chen did not make a decision, Xia Shiyu sighed and then said.

”at this stage, the nutritional agent for human beings is being investigated by the European food safety agency, and the results will be released in a week. Judging from the current situation, although Tao Ming has held a series of press conferences, claiming that there is no problem with the nutrient mixture, or even drinking two bottles of it on the spot, the final investigation result may be unfavorable to us. ”

If it had been before, Jiang Chen would have come to the table and greet the ancestors of the European Commission with two words first. He was making a decision on layoffs.

Now, though, he is surprisingly calm.

Although the results are the same.

”New country visa for senior executives and technicians, as well as settling in fees. Those who are willing to follow the job transfer will receive a salary increase of 2O. Those who are not willing to follow the job transfer shall take two years' paid leave first. ”

The tax rate in the new country is different from that in Europe with high taxes and high benefits. Even if the wages remain unchanged, the European employees who immigrate to the new country can get much higher wages than those working in Europe.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen stopped for a moment and crossed his fingers on the table.
