Collective strike?
Xiao Luo frowned slightly. This wasn't good news. The collective strike as soon as he took office was probably aimed at him.
"I'll go take a look."
He got up and walked towards the factory under the lead of Xu Guansong.
It didn't take long for everyone in the conference hall to know about the workers' collective strike.
"Let's go and take a look."
Chu Yunxiong was interested. As soon as he took office, Lo Fong gave Xiao Luo a difficult problem. He wanted to see how Xiao Luo would solve it. So he went with Ge Zhongtian.
At the same time, Lo Fong's various department heads and store managers all rushed to the factory.
When Xiao Luo arrived at the factory's shipping dock, there were more than 500 protesters gathered below. They were all factory's front line employees. The crowd was boiling, and the sound of protest echoed in the large factory for a long time.
"President Xiao is here. If you have anything to say, just say it to President Xiao!"
The security staff in charge of maintaining order heaved a sigh of relief and shouted at the crowd.
Xiao Luo walked out with his hands behind his back. His slender and sharp eyes looked down at the protesting crowd below. An invisible pressure was like a mountain pressing down on everyone's heart. The noise of protest from just a moment ago came to an abrupt end.
Xu Guansong and the department heads were shocked. Not to mention the strikers below, even they felt a lot of pressure. This invisible pressure was hard to explain, but it did exist.
Xiao Luo's eyes swept across everyone below from left to right: "Tell me, why are you on strike?"
His voice was faint, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Everyone looked at each other. Finally, an ugly man with a protruding mouth and monkey-like cheeks stood at the front. He gritted his teeth and took a step forward. "I heard that Luo's Workshop has a new president, so I came to take a look."
"Take a look? Good, I'm standing right here. You can see it. Then you can disperse and go back to your posts. Don't affect the company's normal operations. "Xiao Luo smiled playfully.
The monkey-faced man immediately changed his expression and sneered, "Humph, you want to dismiss us like this? CEO Xiao, your surname should be Xiao, right? We're all gathered here today because we feel that the labor we've put in is not proportional to the gains we've made. It's not too much to ask for a raise, right? "
"Yes!"
Five hundred people roared in unison, creating a huge commotion.
"We contribute hundreds of millions to the company every year. Why do you give us such a small salary? Do you think we're beggars?" The discordant voice sounded again, causing everyone to raise their fists in response.
Chu Yunxiong raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "This is a big problem for Luo Fang. Luo's Workshop's financial budget is about to hit rock bottom, and now there's this mess. If it were me, I would have a headache."
Ge Zhongtian chimed in, "That's right. These people are obviously taking advantage of the situation. They didn't even consider that if Lo Fong collapsed, they would become jobless."
"There's something fishy about this!"
Chu Yunxiong smiled and didn't point it out. He had already warned Xiao Luo that Lo Fong's management was very deep. The workers' strike wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
People die for money, and birds die for food. Under the instigation of people with good intentions, these workers who were originally well-paid and well-rewarded were blinded by money.
"Shut up!"
The head of the human resources department, Lin Chongdong, shouted angrily, "You think your salary is low? Usually, with overtime and performance, more than half of the workers get more than five thousand a month. Even the worst ones get at least three thousand five hundred. Now that the company is in a difficult period, many store managers only get five or six thousand a month. You actually think it's low? Do you have any conscience? "
"Why didn't you say it when the company was doing well? The company is in this state because of them. What does it have to do with us low-level workers?"
"That's right. We work hard for the company and work overtime every day. Why didn't you say this?"
"Lo Fong is almost an empty shell now. We don't even know if it will close down tomorrow. If we don't ask for more salary, do we have to wait until it closes down and then ask for more from you?"
The anger of the people below couldn't be appeased. They raised their fists in opposition and shouted loudly.
Lin Chongdong's mouth was no match for the crowd. He was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body trembled.
Xiao Luo felt angry and amused. In ancient times, the saying 'slaves bully their masters' was probably referring to these people.
He waved his hand and said indifferently, "Since you all have said so, can I ask you a few questions?"
Seeing that the new young CEO was so amiable, most of the people suddenly felt a lot more confident. They felt that this was a newcomer who had just entered society and didn't have much experience. There was no need to be afraid.
"Since President Xiao is so polite, we as employees shouldn't push him too hard. Everyone, am I right?" A man with a protruding mouth and ape-like chin stood up and shouted at everyone. Obviously, he was the leader of this strike.
"Yes!" Everyone echoed in unison.
Xiao Luo looked at the man with a protruding mouth and ape-like chin and asked, "How much is your position, salary, and monthly bonus?"
In this situation, the man with a protruding mouth and ape-like chin couldn't lie. He replied, "I'm a team leader. My base salary is 3,500 yuan, and my bonus is 2,000 yuan. Including overtime pay, my average monthly salary is 6,500 yuan. This is what I earned with my blood and sweat. Do you think there's a problem with that, President Xiao?"
"There's no problem. I'm just curious."
Xiao Luo put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Then can you tell me how much the salary, bonus, and benefits are for the same position in other factories?"
The man with a protruding mouth and ape-like chin suddenly turned red. It wasn't that he hadn't worked in other factories. Even if he worked overtime, it was far from 6,500 yuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in Lo Fong for so long and worked hard to become a team leader.
After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "I don't know about other factories, but I know about Taste Buds. For the same position, their salary is 500 to 600 yuan higher than that of Lo Fong."
Although he kept calling Xiao Luo 'President Xiao', he didn't put Xiao Luo in his eyes at all.
"Oh, I see."
Xiao Luo's reaction was very calm. He looked at a small employee in the crowd and pointed at him. "Tell me your position, salary, and benefits."
That person saw that everyone's eyes were on him and suddenly became nervous. "I … I'm an ordinary employee. My base salary is 2,600 yuan, and I get about 4,500 yuan a month."
"Then do you know how much the salary of the same position in other factories is?" Xiao Luo's gaze was very cold, like a beast staring at its prey.
That person shivered and didn't dare to look Xiao Luo in the eyes. "The base salary in other factories is 2,000 … 2,300 yuan. There may or may not be a bonus. If you get paid a month, it should be a little more than 3,500 yuan."
"In other words, Lo Fong's salary is not worse than other factories. On the contrary, it's much higher than theirs, right?" Xiao Luo asked step by step.
That person's face turned red. After a long time, he replied, "Yes … Yes …"
"Haha …"
Xiao Luo sneered and slammed his palm on the stainless steel guardrail of the shipping dock. The huge force shook the guardrail and the guardrail buzzed. He looked down at the shocked employees and asked, "How is this salary not in line with your labor?"
He angrily pointed at the group of people below. "Lo Fong is in danger now. It's fine if you don't help each other, but why do you still want to hit us when we're down? You said that Lo Fong will go bankrupt sooner or later. Then I want to ask, if you think the company is going to go bankrupt, why are you still here? A person should know how to be content and grateful! "
