Chapter 263: general strike

Chapter 263 The Great Strike

"Mr. Guo really surprised us. The huge fund of 4.5 billion US dollars was easily taken out!" Jolia Mo Yinyu said with a meaningful smile.

"What's the matter? Compared with the 4.5 billion US dollars, what is even more surprising is the series of mergers and acquisitions Mr. Guo has made since he established the Pan Pacific Energy Group. The funds involved are nearly 10 billion, and if you count the company's operating capital, it is even more amazing. The huge amount of money. Such a huge amount of money can only show that Mr. Guo has earned an unimaginable amount of capital from gold through the Thunder Fund!"

The person who was speaking had a gleam in his eyes, and looked at Guo Shouyun with a hint of amazement in his eyes. Of course, it was more about other thoughts!

His name is Will Jones, one of the major shareholders of the former Southern Company. He has a lot of assets under his name, including the five-star hotel where the banquet is held today.

"The Thunder Fund has indeed made a lot of money from gold futures. If Mr. Jones is interested, he can invest a little in it. I believe the return will surely satisfy you!"

Up to now, although he has not disclosed the financial information of the Thunder Fund, for those who are interested, they can get a rough figure with a cursory investigation. Therefore, Guo Shouyun is no longer as strict as before.

He's even considering holding a reception for all of the Thunder Fund's clients, officially announcing the revenue, and raising another sum of money before the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of 9/11. In this way, the problem of the decline in operating capital of Thunder Fund after his series of mergers and acquisitions is also solved.

"Actually, I have already invested $1 million in the Thunder Fund managed by Mr. Guo. It's just that Mr. Guo has never disclosed any financial information of the fund, which makes me a little apprehensive and never dare to invest more."

"Yeah, Bruce. I've actually invested $2 million in your Thunder Fund as well. I'm afraid to add more because I don't have an accurate income statement. So, for us, and for yourself, can you fix this? "Stephen Bryan said.

"That's right."

"This is also the concern of many people, including me!"

John Stillman, Paul Lehman and others nodded at the same time.

After his eyes swept over them quickly, Guo Shouyun nodded after thinking a little.

"I understand everyone's concerns. In fact, many friends have reported this issue to me recently. So, after thinking about it, I plan to hold a meeting involving all customers of Thunder Fund on July 25, which is a week later. Yes, let me explain to everyone, the recent half-year profit and loss of the Thunder Fund!"

"Mr. Guo, this is the best news I've heard at this reception!" Will Jones said happily.

However, for those who really know more about Guo Shouyun's Thunder Fund, this news does not fully satisfy them.

"Bruce, as far as I know, Thunder Fund has four divisions: Solomon, which focuses on futures; Are you going to report results for one of the divisions, or all four?"

"Stephen, you really know our Thunder Fund!" Guo Shouyun said after looking at him.

"Hehe, as a qualified financial practitioner. Sensitivity to money may be my only advantage!"

While speaking, Stephen Bryan's eyes did not leave Guo Shouyun's face. Others are basically the same.

"Since I'm talking about the Thunder Fund, it's naturally one of the four departments!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

The eyes of the people around them instantly lit up. The question they've been trying to figure out for so long now finally has a chance.

"Mr. Guo, I'm also a Thunder customer, don't forget to send me an invitation letter!" John Schwartzman laughed.

"Don't worry, as long as you are Leiting's customers, you will get an invitation letter!"

Just as Guo Shouyun finished speaking, he saw Jonathan Ware striding over.

"Boss, there is something in the company that needs to be dealt with by you!"

Guo Shouyun was stunned for a moment, looking at Jonathan Weir, whose expression was calm, but there was a trace of nervousness in his eyes, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

"Everyone, excuse me!" Guo Shouyun said goodbye to everyone as usual, and went out of the banquet hall with Jonathan Weil to the corridor outside.

"What's up?"

"Just received the news. The New York Gas Company, which we acquired on July 6, went on strike, and now the plant is shut down, affecting the lives of nearly 2 million electricity and natural gas customers in New York State and Pennsylvania. In addition, we have received information from New York State and Pennsylvania. The call from the energy department of the Binzhou-State government, they hope that we can solve the trouble as soon as possible and restore the normal life order of the people in the two states." Jonathan Weil said quickly.

Facing such bad news, even though Guo Shouyun had some preparations in his heart, he couldn't help frowning after hearing it.

"How are you going to solve it?"

"Steve has brought people over, and no further news has come. So, we don't have a very mature solution yet!"

Guo Shouyun nodded and then asked, "What's the cause of the incident? It's impossible for such a big strike to happen without the slightest sign!"

"It's mostly workers wanting a raise. The most important thing is that before our acquisition, the leadership of New York Gas had promised to increase their monthly wages by 40%."

"40%?"

"Yes! The current average monthly salary of the 5,700 New York Gas workers is $3,800, which is moderate among all similar industries in the United States. But if it increases by 40%, then the New York Gas company's salary expenditure will exceed all its peers. Most The important thing is that after the acquisition of Southern Company, we had more than 80,000 workers. Once they started demanding the same treatment, just spending on wages was enough to reduce our profit by about 3%. And, this is still in When the energy crisis is eliminated!" Jonathan Weir said with a serious expression.

After a moment of silence, Guo Shouyun squinted his eyes and said indifferently, "So we have been tricked by others?"

"Sorry, boss, I didn't do a detailed background check beforehand!"

"It's not your fault, it's my fault. I was too quick to make a profit, thinking that as long as the balance sheet was fine, I could buy it. In just a few months, Pan Pacific has nearly tripled in size. How can there be no problem with such an acquisition without detailed investigation data!" Guo Shouyun said after waving his hand.

He's not the kind of person who likes to put the blame on his subordinates!

Looking at the big boss who was thinking silently, Jonathan Weil obediently didn't make a sound.

After a long while, "Now you convey three things for me: First, inform Chuck and ask him to do a salary level survey of all personnel in the company, and raise the salary level of the whole company on a feasible basis, but the maximum Over 8%!"

There is a saying that "do not suffer from the few but suffer from the unevenness." To solve the problem of the New York Gas Company, it is not just this one. The entire Pan Pacific Group needs to be considered.

Otherwise, branches in other regions will see their colleagues in New York make a fuss and their wages will rise, and they will definitely follow suit. Moreover, coupled with those guys who are secretly planning to trick him at any time, the probability of this situation is too great. Therefore, Guo Shouyun had to guard against the slightest in the first place.

"Second, tell Steve to talk to the New York Gas union representative, we can raise wages, but it will never exceed 8%, and 40% is impossible. Plus, they only have three days to think about it. , if I don't see the workers coming back to work after three days. Then they won't be there anymore!" Guo Shouyun said decisively.

Although U.S. law stipulates that employers cannot fire employees, they can "permanently replace". This kind of word game is no different from "fired" and "fired" in translation.

"Third, slow down the pace of the company's expansion, and do a good job of investigating any future acquisitions. Not only finance, but also personnel, legal, and everything else~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Once a mistake is made, it should be remembered. Live the lesson. Guo Shouyun does not want the same thing to continue to happen to the Pan Pacific Group.

"Understood!"

Jonathan Weir nodded.

"carry on!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand, and after Jonathan Weir left, he did not return to the banquet hall. At this time, he clearly felt a sense of urgency from the New York Gas strike.

The enemy has accelerated the rhythm of the attack!

"It seems that I have to increase my strength as much as possible!" Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone, found the number of LinkedIn News Director Rick Bai and dialed it.

"boss!"

"I will fax you a copy of the material this afternoon. After receiving it, let the editorial staff polish it up and send it to the website!"

"Yes!"

Rick Bai's tone was full of excitement. Every time Guo Shouyun took the initiative to provide him with news, it was the kind of eye-catching big news that could shake the United States.

And such news can undoubtedly bring a lot of attention to LinkedIn News. The most obvious one is Enron. With the exposure of Enron's business data, although Enron refused to admit it and even sued them, the more they did, the more people paid attention to LinkedIn. Worrying about it, the number of monthly clicks on LinkedIn News has climbed to 600 million in the past few months. That means 20 million people watch LinkedIn news every day.

Such a huge number, of course, also brought a rise in income. Although limited by Guo Shouyun's business strategy, in order to keep the LinkedIn news layout clean, the news content is relatively small. But it still made $35 million in revenue in June.
