Chapter 302 Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company
Cosmic standard time, 22:32 on November 4, 589 in the new calendar.
Nino VI local time 9:00 a.m.
In the cornerstone 5 industrial space city, Milton, the former president of Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard, stood in front of the headquarters building and watched the logo of Poseidon Company being closed and removed.
Then, several spider-like orange-yellow engineering robots installed a set of holographic LOGO bases on the front wall of the company building.
When the circuit was connected and all components were checked, after the countdown of the on-site hoisting command ‘3! 2! 1! ’ ended, the holographic projection device was activated, and several huge geometric LOGOs appeared outside the wall of the building.
“ATLAS”
The former helmsman of Poseidon Shipbuilding looked at the new LOGO that was lit up, and there was a little loneliness in his tone.
——
Time goes back to some time ago.
After some initial contacts, the company called Atlas expressed its willingness to acquire all the assets of ‘Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard’.
To be honest, the entire Poseidon Shipbuilding senior management was stunned at the time.
Especially after investigating Atlas and finding that it was a cross-galaxy-level enterprise with businesses involving heavy industry, mining, defense contracting, and equipment manufacturing, they were even more unbelievable.
Although the name of their company looks very domineering, in fact, until now, the company's main business is just the manufacture of various cargo ships.
The two companies can be said to be completely in two different worlds, and theoretically there is no chance of intersection at all.
But now, not only has there been an intersection, the other party even wants to acquire their company at very favorable conditions.
During a negotiation, the vice president of Poseidon Shipbuilding really couldn't help his curiosity and asked:
"Excuse me, what is our company's merit and ability to enter your company's eyes? Your sudden proposal to acquire really makes us all feel uncertain."
Regarding this question, Nick Leeson, who is responsible for the acquisition of Atlas, did not say anything, but just responded with a mysterious smile.
"There is no special reason, it's just that our chairman likes your company more."
In fact, Nick Leeson was telling the truth. Amber really saw the future of 'Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company'. One of the unknown design teams of this company came up with several battleship designs that 'amazed everyone'.
We still don't know under what circumstances several cargo ship designers started to design battleships, but the fact is that they did design them.
And according to the preliminary secret investigation of the acquisition team, this design team has already made a blueprint for a battleship in its spare time, and all the main design indicators are exactly the same as Amber's impression.
In addition, Atlas has now also developed the battleship construction business, so it is indeed necessary to acquire a shipbuilding company as a foundation.
Obviously, the people on the Poseidon Shipbuilding side did not believe his answer.
However, they did not dwell too much on these aspects. After confirming that Atlas was not a shell company or a fraud group, they agreed to move the acquisition to the next stage.
For Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard 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, and in terms of business expansion, Atlas Group obviously has more resources than them.
But soon, these company executives were not 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."
The middle and low-level administrative and clerical positions will also be abolished. For employees in these positions, Atlas also gave them two options: "transfer to technical positions" and "take N+5 and leave."
"Gentlemen, are you serious? If so many clerical positions are abolished, how will the entire company operate?"
The Chief Human Resources Director raised this question at the communication meeting.
"Don't worry about this. Our Atlas Group has sufficient experience in this regard. 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 offender felt that he had started a second life. The group's various treatments and reward and punishment systems were almost perfect. More importantly, he felt that he was learning new things every day.
After spending some time in the financial business department, he found that everyone here was talented and spoke well.
Because of this, after Amber handed over the task of acquiring the "Poseidon Shipbuilding and Dockyard Company" to him, Nick Leeson immediately vowed in his heart to complete this task perfectly.
So at this moment, when facing the senior leaders of Poseidon Shipbuilding Company, he took out his best state to deal with it.
"This. Mr. Nelson." Nick Leeson glanced at the badge on the chest of the human resources director and said:
"I believe you are not concerned about these administrative staff, but you have ideas about the arrangements for you senior managers?"
After seeing the expression on the other person's face, Nick Leeson smiled and continued:
"Mr. Nelson and everyone present, don't be too greedy. I believe that other companies can never come up with the compensation plan we offer.
The money you get is enough to buy a few small islands on a planet and live a life of "superior people". It is more than enough to change a few second- and third-tier stars to accompany you every year. There is even spare money to invest in financial management to protect your second half of life.
So what are you dissatisfied with?"
"But this Poseidon Shipbuilding is the lifelong hard work of all of us! How can it be measured so simply with money!"
The human resources director said with some dissatisfaction after hearing Nick Leeson's words.
"Really?"
Nick Leeson showed a playful smile on his face.
"How about this, I will open an anonymous vote. You can send me your choice in an anonymous email within 20 minutes. Do you want to take the money and leave, or continue to entangle with us to protect your "lifelong hard work"?"
Nick Leeson also deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "lifelong hard work".
"By the way, you must not have any psychological pressure, or think that dragging it into a 'protracted war' will lead to victory. The plan I am giving you now is absolutely a fair plan for both parties. If you insist on a stalemate, our Atlas Group is also quite experienced in 'forced acquisitions'."
