Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 356 UAW Benefits and Auto Enterprise Costs
Woodcock's departure is certainly a bit of a pain, but fortunately it's not a big deal.

After chatting for ten minutes or so, Carter talked about his plan to go to Japan and attract more car companies to Georgia, and the letters of recommendation and letters of introduction were all resolved.

In old Carter's words, he failed to contribute to the well-being of his hometown when he was in office, and now that he is out of office, if he can help, he must be obliged!If Carter can really pack the two fields and one sang to Georgia, he will personally talk to Woodcock at the auto union!The auto union must not be allowed to make trouble in Georgia!
However, due to the distance, this letter of introduction will definitely arrive in Japan later than Carter.
Then before leaving
"Secretary Han, I suddenly thought of a question about the construction of the underground sewage system. The hotel in my plan must be equipped with independent bathrooms, such as flush toilets. If there is no underground sewage system, then this It's very difficult!"

"Don't worry about this! BJ has had a sewer system for a long time, and now the transformation of connecting urban public toilets to the sewer has been basically completed. Besides BJ, there are about [-] other cities here that have fairly complete sewer systems. More urban sewage systems are still under construction! We will only get better and better here, and I believe our construction speed can be faster than your hotel expansion speed."

That's it!
After getting an affirmative answer, Carter set foot on the flight to Haneda Airport in Tokyo the next afternoon with confidence.
"Why did you rush back in person?"

"It's such a big deal, can I not come back? By the way, my dad doesn't have a good impression of you. You have to pay attention then."

"Huh? Because of what? Age?"

Followed Akio Toyoda who picked him up from the airport, and walked out of the airport.Carter threw the luggage on the crown that the other party was driving, and then jumped into the car skillfully.Action is very smooth.
"There are some influences in this area, and the last time you were in Georgia, you failed to impress him. Let's not talk about this, is the letter of introduction coming? Have you talked to Mr. Woodcock? ?”

Sitting next to Carter, Akio Toyoda asked anxiously.

"There is no problem with the letter of introduction, but I have to arrive in Japan two days late. Mr. Carter was away on a visit and was not with me. I did not see Mr. Woodcock. He left his post and returned to the United States in February. To see him, you can only see him." Let’s talk about it when we return to the United States, it’s not a big problem! Mr. Carter is very supportive of this matter, including my entry into the Auto Union to protect Georgia’s auto companies. I have told him about this.”

"Are you sure? The UAW and the Democratic Party are involved. If Mr. Carter is willing to support you, then we...wait! Kameda! Don't go back to Aichi Prefecture, just find a hotel in Tokyo!"

After ordering the driver, Akio Toyoda continued to turn his attention to Carter:

"Before returning to China this time, I collected some data on automobile factories in Georgia. At present, there are only supporting plastic product factories, glass factories, lamp factories, etc., assembly factories, engine factories and other major auto parts production or assembly factories. not yet."

"So the number of UAW members there is very limited, probably only more than 2.5, less than 5. Among the workers who are barely related to the auto industry, the proportion is less than 20%. According to the practice of the auto union, the monthly income of members [-]% will be paid as membership dues. The auto union receives nearly $[-] in membership dues each year.”

"For the enterprise, due to time constraints, I haven't checked it carefully. But judging from the current situation, at most [-] US dollars per year is enough to satisfy the appetite of those people!"

"30 is not much. I remember that your sales in the United States were quite high last year. But how many years do you plan to pay membership fees like this? Or is it called a protection fee?"

The issue of capital cost should be considered by Japanese car companies such as Toyota.Carter was just thinking about how to withdraw from the auto union in the future, or how to face the pressure exerted by the auto union in the future
The auto unions are, of course, a terrifying and enormous political force.You can ask yourself, the interests of the auto union are diametrically opposed to their own!I need a stable environment to generate income, but what the auto union needs is chaos!

The more chaotic the year, the higher the participation rate of auto unions!Because when the unemployment rate is high, there are too many laborers to choose from for the management, so if we continue to look down, the bargaining power of individual workers in the face of the factory management will be almost zero.

They had to rely on trade unions to negotiate with management in order to strive for better welfare protection.And since 73. Right, the unemployment rate in the United States has been rising. In the same way, the power of the auto union is also growing wildly!
At present, the honeymoon period in exchange for 30 a year of "offering", if the plan goes smoothly, Carter feels that this will not last long at all.

In Toyota's assembly plant alone, there are about 3000 planned jobs.When the factory is surrounded by the chairman of the trade union branch who is very likely to take office, the production is stable and the environment is good.
With the increase in car sales, additional investment and expansion of production are almost inevitable!At that time, the Toyota plant, together with the Nissan and Honda plants, is conservatively estimated to break through the 1 mark and it will not be difficult.However, according to the analysis of the data that GM and Chrysler have a total of 24 employees, they have driven more than 300 million supporting jobs.

These 1 auto assembly plant workers should drive no less than 10 auto-related industry workers.Not all of the 10 workers will be in Georgia, but even half will be working in Georgia.The number of potential members of the auto union already has as many as 6 people!

Even if the participation rate is 72%, the membership fee income will reach 140 US dollars a year! The [-]% profit increase is enough to make anyone jealous, let alone the auto union, which has always been known for its greed?

"30 is quite a lot! Our total sales in the United States last year was only 58 vehicles. If it is evenly divided, the cost of each car will increase by 50 cents!"

"Fifty cents? Is that a lot?"

Carter blinked, he was a little suspicious that the other party was in Versailles.

"What's more, if you really need to pay for this money, it's not your Toyota family who will pay. On average, it is estimated that your Toyota will pay about 26 to 28 cents at most?"

"Eh?! You can't say that like you, our other places are expensive!"

Seeing Carter's look of "seeing you pretending to watch you fly", Akio Toyoda suddenly became unhappy:
"For example, for advertising, the cost of advertising for a car of ours was about US$144 in the early years, but now it has dropped to about US$100. But compared to US$44 for American cars, we are more than twice as much as them! There are also dealers. , every time a Toyota is sold, the dealer’s profit is at least 180 US dollars. Is there no cost?! Just thinking about the extra cost for such a shitty thing makes me angry! If possible, I am Yimei Not even a penny, let alone 28 cents!"

　Increased some fan value speech limits, I haven't read comments for two days, and I saw people's emo.In addition, combined with the opinions of the book friend group in the afternoon, I think about how to speed up and get the domestic section first.
