As the president, it is my duty.
"Bigger than a lottery ticket? What do you mean?" Everyone suddenly became interested.
"Our company should have offended someone!" Bolinas said.
"What?"
"Who has been offended?"
"Is it serious?"
For these workers, work is their only way to support their families. If something happens to the company because it offends someone, the impact on them will undoubtedly be huge. of.
"I have offended the richest man in the world, Zhang Menglong!" Bolinas said, "No one can know what happened today. I called you here first because I believe in you!"
"Zhang Menglong? That Chinese guy ?"
Several people immediately lowered their voices. This name was not unfamiliar to them. It had appeared in the media two days ago, and they even took photos of his meeting with the DuBo family, the largest family in the United States. The DuBo family was very interested in it. He was very respectful.
"You may not know that Mr. Zhang Menglong is not only the richest man in the world, but also the chairman of China's Silicon Moonlight!" Bolinas said.
"He is the chairman of Silicon Moonlight?"
"No wonder!"
"Did he come to the United States this time to deal with us, Qualcomm Electronics?"
As employees of Qualcomm Electronics, they may not understand the internal logic of some things, but Qualcomm Electronics The fact that one of the directors forced Silicon Moonlight to ban the internal sale of high-end chips to China is almost universally known in Qualcomm Electronics.
It is said that the director was humiliated by Zhang Mengyu and kicked out of Silicon Moonlight's board of directors.
The conflict between Qualcomm Electronics and Silicon Moonlight can almost be said to be irreconcilable!
If it were Silicon Moonlight in the past, that would be fine. After all, they couldn't produce wafers by themselves. Without the supply of Qualcomm Electronics, the company would be almost useless, and if the relationship breaks down, it will break down.
But Zhang Menglong succeeded as the chairman of Silicon Moonlight and even claimed to engage in research and development on his own, which is completely different. Anyone who knows Zhang Menglong in the world knows that how much money he has is still unknown so far!
"Yes, he is here to deal with Qualcomm Electronics!" Bolinas said, "But this is an opportunity for us!"
"Our opportunity?"
"That's right!" Bolinas said, "Just now Zhang Mengyu The gentleman came to me and hoped that I could do something for him."
Bolinas roughly narrated the conversation between Zhang Mengyu and him. Of course, he took the initiative to hide some of the part involving remuneration.
"He simply That's too cruel!"
"In Chinese terms, it's like killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred!"
"That's just in your eyes," Bolinas said, "Twenty billion A U.S. dollar may not even be considered a drop in the bucket for Mr. Zhang. When Mr. Zhang works, he only needs results, not money!" "What
you mean is that we only need to incite workers to go on strike to threaten the company's top management and treat Mr. Zhang Make some compromises, right?"
"After the event is completed, each person will receive a reward of 1 million US dollars!" Bolinas said, "And Mr. Zhang promised that if Qualcomm collapses, he will help us arrange other jobs with good pay. It'll be lower than it is now!
"A million dollars? "Everyone was pleasantly surprised. With this money, they could even choose to retire directly!
"I did it! "
"It would be a fool not to do such a good thing! "
"I no longer want to work, these vampires! " "
Okay, then let's do this tomorrow..."
...
"Oduk, have you heard?" Engineers at Kara Machinery recently received a salary increase! "
"Yeah? How much has it increased? "The engineer named O'Duke asked casually. In their minds, even if the small companies around them rose again, they would not be able to rise to the same level as Qualcomm Electronics. And this Carat Machinery is only a few million in size. It's just a small US dollar company.
"It has doubled, and the engineer's salary has increased to US$4,000! "
"What? $4,000? How can this be? "
I didn't think it was possible at first, but I have a friend who works there, and he told me that the salary has indeed been increased!"
" Bang! " After saying that, he banged his fist on the table, "It seems that the boss of our company is very stingy. I have been working here as an engineer for ten years, and my salary is only 4,000 US dollars!" "
Although that O'Duke was still sitting with his head down, doing his own business, it was obvious that something was wrong with his expression!
The engineer who spread the news secretly glanced at O'Duke's expression, and then showed a strange smile. It was one of the several union members who went to meet with Bolinas yesterday!
However, this was just the beginning of the news spreading...
"What?" The salary of production line engineers at Starkey Electronics has been increased to US$5,000? Aren't they all on the same level as our mid-level engineers? "
"Onik Communications' salary increase is even more outrageous! The salary of their assembly line workers has increased to US$4,000, the salary of mid-level engineers has increased to US$6,000, and the salary of senior engineers has reached US$8,000! "
Why? " Why are the wages of assembly line workers higher than those of our engineers? "
Early the next morning, a piece of gossip gradually spread among the employees. Of course, this news was naturally spread by Bolinas.
But hearing is believing, and seeing is believing. Most people think this is true. The reliability is not high, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.
However, among the employees, there are always some people who like to get into trouble, and some of them relied on their own connections to start to inquire about the salaries and benefits of surrounding companies.
But the results obtained were actually similar to The results circulated in the company are exactly the same!
Their employees of Qualcomm Electronics are doing almost the highest-quality work and creating the greatest benefits for the company, but they are earning the lowest wage level in the entire town! In an instant,
the crowd was furious!
"No. ! "A union member suddenly put down his work and said, "Why should we endure such oppression? We should ask the company for a salary increase! "
Everyone thinks so in their hearts, but there is an old Chinese saying that the first bird is shot, and no one wants to be the first bird.
But when the first person burst out his inner thoughts, the others suddenly Putting down that guard.
"That's right! We must safeguard our rights and interests! Why should we suffer this kind of injustice? "
"I came to the small town of Silicon Valley with a friend of mine. I got this job after several rounds of interviews. I worked overtime almost every day, but he just found an ordinary job and got off work on time every day. Now his The salary is $1,000 higher than mine every month! Why?"
"The company must have falsely reported its income! All that money must have been made by the company's shareholders!"
"We want to protest with the company!"
"That's right! We can't Be a docile sheep, otherwise the company will exploit us more and more in the future."
"We need a representative to negotiate with the company on our behalf!"
"Who is willing to go?"
"Don't we have a union? We should let the union Someone do it!"
Suddenly, dozens of eyes focused on Bolinas who was working silently among the crowd.
"Bolinas, you are the president of our Qualcomm Electronics Union. You should talk to the company on our behalf about this matter!" "
That's right! We all support you! As long as we are here, the company dare not do anything to you. You just need to speak your mind on behalf of all of us!"
Under the appeal of everyone, Bolinas showed an incomprehensible smile, but this smile was suppressed by him in an instant.
Bolinas said in an extremely noble tone: "Since everyone trusts me, as the president, I am bound to do it!"
