Chapter 1864 Workers have power

In the midst of world attention, the acquisition negotiations between Daqian and GM, Ford, and Chrysler have begun.

Because it is related to the automobile industry that is pillars of the United States, at the beginning, many people regarded this acquisition as an opportunity to rescue the United States from the quagmire of the economic crisis. Therefore, at this time, the Americans still had a happy attitude towards the acquisition.

So almost all American media are urging Daqian to pay money as soon as possible and buy the three companies.

But the negotiations were in a deadlock at the beginning.

This time the negotiation and acquisition were joint negotiations, which means that GM, Ford, and Chrysler shared a negotiation team, so they could be said to be highly united and had surprisingly consistent policies. In the end, the three companies quoted a sky-high acquisition price of US$1.2 trillion.

The reason is simple, because last year the combined turnover of the three companies was $600 billion, and there were also a large number of high-quality fixed assets. For example, the three companies owned more than 300,000 acres of industrial parks in Detroit, and the combined price of these lands alone exceeded $500 billion.

In addition, the three companies also have 4 million experienced high-quality industrial workers, each of them is a senior talent with decades of work experience. These workers have to sell for $100 billion.

So in the end, the three companies jointly gave a sky-high acquisition of US$1.2 trillion.

When Wang Chuanfu heard this price, he got up and left. He never appeared at the negotiating table again on that day. The representatives of the three companies were so angry that their faces turned black.

But it did not receive many sympathy.

With a quotation of 1.2 trillion US dollars, they no longer slaughtered Daqian as Kaizi, but as Indians.

First of all, even if the three companies do have a turnover of US$600 billion, the turnover does not equal net profit.

If you look at the financial reports of these three companies last year, you will find that the net profit is as high as US$40 billion, but this is a negative number.

The three companies lost $40 billion last year.

In addition, there is the so-called $500 billion fixed assets, which seems to be like that, but the $500 billion price is calculated based on the land price in Detroit two months ago.

The reason why Detroit's land prices are so high is actually because of the land prices promoted by the industrial workers of these three companies.

If Daqian bought these three companies and planned to sell land to make money, the entire land price would probably collapse instantly.

All three companies have left, and millions of industrial workers have also left. Detroit is afraid it will become a ghost town.

In fact, referring to the Detroit housing prices in another world in 2020, you will know how things are going on in Detroit.

On the Internet, a three-story villa in Detroit is only sold for only one dollar.

This is not a scam, nor is it a joke. It is really just one dollar. As long as you are willing to buy it, the original owner will come over immediately and cooperate with you to go through various procedures as quickly as possible. In the end, even a dollar fee is happy to be denied!

You may be very surprised that even if the land prices in Detroit have fallen the worst, is it a little sci-fi to buy a house for one dollar?

This is not science fiction at all, because in the United States, each house still needs to pay about 2% of property tax every year.

In other words, if your house in Detroit is not sold, the property tax you need to pay may be as high as tens of thousands of dollars a year. When the workers in Detroit leave, all the supporting facilities and businesses are gone. In fact, Detroit has become unsuitable for human living, and no one lives in these houses at all, but they have to charge high property taxes. No one wants to sell the house quickly, even if it is not a problem to pay the money.

The last industrial workers worth $100 billion is even more funny. If possible, no company would be willing to accept these industrial workers.

In fact, to a certain extent, the loss of such a bad car manufacturer, GM, is unrelated to these industrial workers.

In everyone's impression, the United States may be a capitalist country that desperately exploits workers, but this is not the case for general companies such as the United States, because these workers have formed a very powerful work organization, namely the United States' auto union.

The purpose of the union is only one, that is, to constantly find ways to improve the treatment of workers and reduce the working hours of workers.

It sounds very tall and even more Chinese than China, very perfect.

But in fact, these unions are about to destroy all American car companies.

Several years later, a glass manufacturer from China entered the United States.

He believes that opening a factory in the United States has many benefits, such as the electricity bill is very cheap, saving product transportation costs, and saving large taxes and other things.

After all the calculations, the glass company found that if it opened a factory in the United States, its profits may increase by about 10%.

In addition, the black commander at that time was also trying hard to implement the policy of returning manufacturing industry and tried every means to invite the company to open a factory in the United States. In the end, this Chinese glass manufacturer actually opened a factory in the United States.

Two years later, the abdicated black general commander actually went to this factory to shoot a documentary. The purpose was actually simple, just to use it to show off his political achievements.

But it is this documentary that exposes the contradictions that the American workers have been suppressed for a long time.

This contradiction is the contradiction between the manufacturer and the US trade union. The chairman of the glass company even said in front of the US president that he would never accept the US trade union system. If there was a trade union, it would be okay to close the US factories and make a one-time loss or make a small amount of 10 billion.

Because the chairman has been tortured by the union so badly.

And this tossing is the union's winning method: strike.

On September 16, 2008, General Motors announced that it may go bankrupt due to poor management and serious losses.

Then on September 18, the United Auto Workers Federation announced that starting at 11:59 pm local time on the 18th, about 49,000 General Motors employees across the United States began a strike, involving workers from GM’s 33 manufacturing plants and 22 warehouses in the United States.

Their strike request is also very simple, that is, General Motors is not allowed to go bankrupt, workers are not allowed to be fired, wages are paid as soon as possible, wages are increased, and working hours are reduced every month!
