Chapter 828: Chapter 828: A Bunch of Rebels
“The group headquarters and about one-fifth of the middle and senior management staff and technical personnel from the major branches have now gathered in the reception hall,”
“They say that the development of the group owes much to their contributions.”
“Apart from asking for a raise, they also demand the company to allocate them a portion of the shares.”
Ally spoke rapidly and then added, “Mr. Jiang, I always feel like there is a conspiracy at play here.”
Jiang Xu’s eyes flickered.
Could this sudden incident be somehow related to Bai Zhou?
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xu stood up, “Let’s go and see these employees.”
Ally followed behind Jiang Xu, her expression unavoidably worried.
The company was running smoothly, and then suddenly, this happened.
If not handled well, it could very likely cause operational issues for the company.
Upon reaching the reception hall.
At that moment, the vast reception hall was already overcrowded.
There were at least four to five hundred people.
Upon seeing Jiang Xu, things quieted down.
Jiang Xu sat in the chief seat, his smile warm, “What are you all planning to do by gathering here?”
Although Jiang Xu was still quite young.
Years of holding a high position had naturally endowed him with a sense of authority.
Even now, with a smile on his face, he looked quite intimidating.
Many employees showed a look of fear on their faces.
But there were those who were resolute.
A young man in his mid-twenties stood up: “Mr. Jiang, we have been working day and night for the company.”
“Now that the company has grown into a behemoth, you have made a fortune.”
“Shouldn’t you consider us too?”
“We demand a thirty percent increase in everyone’s salary on top of the existing basis.”
“Additionally, we want company stocks, the kind that can be traded on the market.”
Upon these words, everyone present echoed the sentiment.
“That’s right, Director Liu is right!”
“Compared to what we have put in, what we get is nothing!”
“If you don’t give us stocks, if you don’t raise our salaries, we will resign!”
“You’d better think carefully, Mr. Jiang. If we all leave, the headquarters and all the major branches will face significant problems.”
————————
“You!!” Ally was so angry she couldn’t stand it and scolded, “Anyone with the slightest conscience wouldn’t say such a thing!”
“Which companies within the country can compare to ours in terms of benefits?”
“Let’s not even mention that our base salary is higher than many of the world’s top 500 companies.”
“As for other benefits, everyone gets at least five thousand for housing, two thousand for food, two thousand for transport, one thousand for phone bills—that’s ten thousand right there.”
“Plus, normal overtime on Saturdays and Sundays is paid at triple rate, and on public holidays it’s even quadruple.”
“Not to mention that even the lowest-level employees can get a total of three months’ worth of their highest salary as their annual bonus.”
“Among those of you here, who doesn’t earn more than a million a year?”
“In other companies, even in the top 500, you’d be doing great to get three or four hundred thousand at most.”
“One must not be too greedy, and must never be ungrateful!”
After a lengthy speech, Ally felt parched.
Unfortunately, there was no tea to drink on the scene.
Her words made many present show a look of shame.
But when they thought about the benefits they could gain if they could successfully force the issue, their eyes turned fierce again.
You can’t stand firm if you’re not ruthless!
Heaven and earth will punish those who do not act for themselves!
What is a little kindness worth?
Gaining more benefits for oneself is the true path!
With this thought, the crowd not only failed to calm down but grew even more agitated, their wording increasingly vehement!
“Stop talking about all that nonsense!”
“In any case, we have only one demand today! Stocks plus a raise, or else we strike!”
“Exactly, strike!”
————————
They all looked extremely agitated and outraged.
To those unaware, one might think that Jiang Xu had embezzled their wages or slept with their wives.
Ally clenched her fists tightly, her eyes fiery.
If it hadn’t been for her lack of power, she would have loved to rush forward and give each of them a double slap.
It was truly shameless.
This was a clear case of biting the hand that feeds, toppling the table once their bellies were full.
The entire Nuomi Group had reached its current state only under Mr. Jiang’s leadership.
But now, in their mouths, it had become all their own doing.
This act of calling a deer a horse, claiming black is white, was utterly despicable.
In contrast to Ally’s anger, Mr. Jiang appeared very calm.
It was clear that these people had been instigated by the same organization.
Even their patter was similar.
Mr. Jiang could guess the backstage manipulator’s game.
The goal was simply to have these people own shares of the company.
Then the person behind the scenes would buy the shares from them.
That way, they could become shareholders and legitimately enter the company, taking their place among the shareholders.
Once that happened, their maneuvering space would grow vast.
Shareholders can plant their own people within the company.
If it reached that point, an initially cohesive company would split into two factions.
Then infighting and internal consumption and such issues would inevitably follow.
It could even destabilize the whole group, leading to decline.
The strategy of the person backstage was indeed venomous.
However—
That person clearly didn’t understand Mr. Jiang well enough.
He could be very good to his employees.
But that was under the premise that they did not cause trouble and focused on their work.
If they decided to make trouble, then he would deal with them accordingly.
“Everyone, are you done speaking?” Mr. Jiang asked indifferently.
All fell silent.
Mr. Jiang: “So, you’re saying that if I don’t agree to your demands, you’ll strike?”
The people’s eyes were full of determination.
Their intent was very clear.
“Okay,” Mr. Jiang nodded, “According to our country’s laws, a strike lasting more than fifteen days is equivalent to voluntary resignation; you may leave, starting from today.”
At these words, the traitors among them all displayed expressions of disbelief.
“Mr. Jiang, you’re just bluffing!”
“If we all strike, the whole group will be paralyzed!”
“That’s right, your trick won’t work on us!”
——————
“Tch!” Mr. Jiang couldn’t help but laugh disdainfully, “My friends, you’ve overestimated your importance.”
“Admittedly, you are important as the company’s mid to high-level technical and management personnel.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“But the world won’t stop spinning just because someone is missing.”
“With Nuomi Group’s compensation package, if we release news for the four to five hundred open positions, we can fill them all in one day.”
“And the new employees may even accept a lower remuneration.”
“Really, don’t take yourself too seriously.”
“If you want to leave, then leave now, don’t waste my time.”
