Chapter 302 Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dock Company
Cosmic Standard Time, New Calendar Year 589, November 4 at 22:32.
Nino Six is at 9:00 a.m. local time.
In the Cornerstone 5 Industrial Space City, Milton, the former president of Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company, stood in front of the headquarters building and watched as the 'Poseidon Company' logo was closed and taken down.
Immediately afterwards, several spider-like orange engineering robots installed a set of holographic LOGO bases on the wall in front of the company building.
When the circuit is connected and all components have been inspected, the on-site hoisting command ‘3! 2! 1! ' After the countdown ended, the holographic projection device was activated, and several huge geometric LOGOs appeared outside the wall of the building.
“ATLAS”
The former Poseidon Shipbuilding helmsman looked at the new LOGO that lit up, with a slightly lonely tone.
——
The time goes back to the previous period.
After some initial contacts, the company named Atlas expressed its willingness to acquire the entire assets of Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company.
To be honest, the entire top management of Poseidon Shipbuilding was confused at that time.
Especially after investigating Atlas and discovering that it was a multi-star enterprise with business interests in heavy industry, mining, defense contracting, and equipment manufacturing, they felt even more unbelievable.
Although the name of their company looks very domineering, in fact, until now, the company's main business has only been the manufacturing of various types of cargo ships.
It can be said that the two companies are in two completely different worlds, and theoretically there is no chance of intersection.
But now, not only has there been an intersection, the other party even wants to acquire their company on very favorable terms.
During a certain negotiation, the vice president of Poseidon Shipbuilding couldn’t hold back his inner curiosity and asked:
“I would like to ask, what is the virtue and capability of our company? "Have you come under the scrutiny of your company? Your sudden proposal of acquisition really makes us feel unsure"
Regarding this issue, Nick, who is responsible for this acquisition at Atlas, Leeson didn't say anything, just responded with a mysterious smile.
“There is no special reason, it’s just that our chairman likes your company better.”
In fact, Nick Leeson was indeed telling the truth. Amber did take a fancy to the future of the Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company. One of the unknown design teams of this company came up with several projects that 'amazed everyone' battleship design plan.
We still don’t know under what circumstances several cargo ship designers began to design the capital ship, but the fact is that they did design it.
And according to the early stage of the acquisition team After secret investigation, this design team had already produced a blueprint of a battleship in their spare time. All the main design indicators were exactly the same as Amber's impression.
In addition, Atlas has now expanded its capital ship construction business, so it really needs to acquire a shipbuilding company as a basis.
Obviously, no one at Poseidon Shipbuilding believed his answer.
However, they did not dwell too much on these aspects. After confirming that Atlas was not a leather company or a fraud group, they agreed to advance the acquisition to the next step.
For 'Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dock Company', being acquired by a large company is definitely a good thing. After the capital injection, the company's production line can also be upgraded. In terms of business development, it is obvious that Atlas Group's resources are needed. Much richer than them.
But soon, these company executives were no longer happy. Because the acquisition team headed by Nick Leeson put forward a prerequisite for the acquisition
That is, all company executives, including President Milton, will "retire early."
Middle and low-level administrative and clerical positions will also be abolished. For employees in these positions, Atlas also gives them two options: "transfer to technical positions" and "leave with N+5".
"Gentlemen, are you serious? If so many civilian positions are eliminated, how will the entire company run?"
The chief human resources director raised this question at the communication meeting .
“You don’t need to worry about this. We at Atlas Group have sufficient experience in this area. Eliminating these bloated departments will only greatly improve the company’s operating efficiency.”
Nick Leeson replied with a professional smile.
After being released from prison and joining Atlas, the former economic prisoner felt that he had started a second life. The group's various treatment and reward and punishment systems were almost perfect. More importantly, he felt that he was learning new things every day. thing.
After spending some time in the financial business department, he found that everyone here is full of talents and they speak nicely.
Because of this, Amber will acquire 'Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company' After the task was handed over to him, Nick Leeson immediately vowed in his heart to complete the task perfectly.
So now when facing the senior leaders of Poseidon Shipbuilding Company, he used his best to deal with it.
“This is Mr. Nelson.” Nick Leeson glanced at the work badge on the chest of the human resources director and said:
"I believe that what you are concerned about is not the staff in these administrative positions, but what do you think about the arrangements for you senior managers?"
After seeing the expression on the other person's face, Nick Leeson smiled Liaoxiao continued:
“Mr. Nelson and everyone here, don’t be too greedy. I believe that other companies will never be able to come up with the compensation plan we have given.
The money you have got is enough to buy a few small islands on a certain planet and live a life of "human superiority". It is more than enough to have a few second- and third-tier celebrities accompany you every year. You even have spare money for investment and financial management to ensure your safety. The rest of your life.
So what else are you dissatisfied with?”
"But this Poseidon shipbuilding company is our lifelong efforts! How can it be so easily measured by money!"
After hearing what Nick Leeson said, the human resources director was a little dissatisfied. said.
“Really?”
A playful smile appeared on Nick Leeson’s face.
“Let’s do this, I will open an anonymous vote, and you can send your choices via anonymous email within 20 minutes and tell me whether you want to take the money and leave, or for maintenance. Your 'life's work' and ours will continue to be entangled"
Nick Leeson also specially emphasized the pronunciation of the words ‘lifelong effort’.
"By the way, you must not have any psychological pressure, or think that dragging into a 'protracted war' means victory. The plan I am giving now is definitely a fair plan for both parties. If If you insist on continuing the stalemate, our Atlas Group also has considerable experience in 'compulsory acquisitions'."
