Before Han Chudong went out this time, he discussed the issues concerning the management company with Assistant Arthur.

Since he was on vacation and didn't want to be disturbed by trivial matters, he only allowed Assistant Arthur to report some more urgent company affairs to him.

The rest will be delayed if possible, and if not, a meeting will be held to discuss it. The senior executives will discuss it on their own and ultimately send the handling opinions via fax to Han Chudong for review. If there is no phone call back, it means that it can be implemented.

During the few days he was away, the company did not disturb him.

However, that afternoon, Han Chudong was just about to leave France and go directly to Japan.

Before leaving, he received a call from Arthur's assistant, who told him that Mango Toys had encountered some troubles.

The cause was that a middle-level executive used racially charged words to insult a black employee. The black employee remained silent, went home and told his family. Yesterday, he actually gathered dozens of black people to protest downstairs of the company. Today, the number of people has swelled to more than a hundred, and even attracted police officers.

In the United States, issues related to race are big issues.

As a country made up of immigrants, conflicts began when white people set foot on the North American continent and came into contact with Native American Indians.

Knowing that he might get into bigger trouble if he wasn't careful, Han Chudong frowned and said, "It's just a small matter. It can be settled after mediation. Arthur, go talk to that black employee and see what he wants to do to make him give up."

"I have already asked. There are two demands in total. One is to fire his boss, the one who scolded him, and the other is $5,000 in mental damages."

"Dismissal... This is something you can consider. You can talk to the middle-level manager. If you think his ability and character are good, you can also send him to branches in Japan, Canada, etc. However, since he was scolded by others, why should he ask the company for mental damages?"

Han Chudong felt a little headache. It was true that black employees were difficult to manage.

Look at Chinatown, a sewer has been under construction for ten years and still hasn’t been repaired, but people are still as quiet as chickens and look very Buddhist.

It doesn't matter if it's a bit hard or tiring, as long as you can get by. This is particularly evident in people of Han Chudong's grandfather's generation.

It’s not that this kind of atmosphere is good, as the child will not get milk until he cries. However, from the perspective of the company, it is indeed less troublesome to hire Chinese employees, and they work more seriously.

Although he has not said it publicly, his company prefers to recruit second- and third-generation Chinese people when recruiting. They retain some racial traits but are able to integrate into mainstream American society. This year, they recruited quite a few Chinese talents during the spring recruitment.

If we count the proportion of each race in Mason United Group and its subsidiaries, Asians account for about 25%, 70% are white, and the rest are black and Latino.

Han Chudong did this deliberately, which led to this situation. He was taking care of his capable compatriots and also considering the market. The main persons in charge of the company are all white people. This is for the sake of safety and long-term development. After all, the main market is in Europe and the United States, and white people are more easily accepted by white people.

Arthur's assistant's business voice came out from the phone receiver: "This is what he wants. It is said that if it is not resolved, more people will come tomorrow. Maybe the media will notice our movements. If it appears in the newspaper, the loss will not only be 5,000 US dollars. Many African Americans may boycott our company's products. I suggest agreeing to his conditions."

"...Okay, call together the executives of each department and have them participate in the training to understand our company's racial diversity strategy. Personal attacks are strictly prohibited, and personal preferences are prohibited from being brought into work."

Han Chudong finished speaking, and then added: "Let's add an anonymous complaint mailbox within the company. Real-name reports are also acceptable. You are responsible for finding someone to check it regularly. The scope of complaints includes long-term laziness, abuse of power for personal gain, bullying subordinates, etc. You can also make suggestions for the company's development."

Arthur's assistant replied, "I've made a note of that. How about arranging for each company to take turns going on vacation to Santa Monica Beach? We had plans to do this before."

"Well, Arthur, you go and make the arrangements. Palm Springs or Santa Monica Beach are all fine. Leave in the morning and come back in the evening. Rent a bus from a transportation company and arrange more activities like this in the future."

…

There are restless employees inside, and from time to time, people from outside file lawsuits and try to extort money by posing as consumers.

Some people said that they got acne after applying a facial mask, some said that the product quality of Baofeng Electric was poor, and some said that their children swallowed yo-yo parts and almost choked to death. In any case, they all filed lawsuits in the end. There are more than 40 ongoing lawsuits alone.

As soon as the old cases were solved, new cases came in one after another.

The cost of initiating a lawsuit is too low, but the rewards are extremely high if successful. Under this premise, the most demanding and unruly consumer groups have emerged.

Even the bright colors of Rainbow Beauty's advertising signs can be used as a reason for lawsuits. A Florida woman said that she had a panic attack after seeing the sign and demanded a huge amount of compensation.

According to Han Chudong, this kind of woman should not go out. She is sick, so why does she come out to harm others?

With a lot of business on hand and countless things to deal with every day, Han Chudong has learned how to free himself from these trivial matters and hand them over to professionals. For example, in litigation cases, there are as many as 22 law firms that have signed cooperation agreements with Mason United Group alone. Recently, it is trying to transfer some production links to Asia, including Japan, South Korea, Formosa and other countries and regions.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

If the factory is set up in Europe or the United States, not only will the cost be high, the efficiency will also be low. From time to time, they will cause trouble with the unions, who treat them like the boss. You can't afford to offend them, but you can afford to avoid them.

The factory can be moved, but the management and operations cannot. Han Chudong thinks it would be more beneficial for him to please them a little. He is reluctant to give up his equity to the executives, but it is acceptable to give them some small benefits from time to time. He is thinking about whether to hold a party on the upcoming September 1st Labor Day and give them some beauty sets, home appliance shopping coupons and the like. Giving small gifts from time to time seems to be more considerate and friendly.

Considering the terrifying profit growth this year, it seems that the news of increasing the year-end bonus can be used as bait. In this way, even if someone makes trouble, other employees will regard it as a sign of ingratitude, which is conducive to improving the internal atmosphere of the company.

I talked to Arthur's assistant on the phone for a few minutes and asked him to communicate and negotiate with the operations department to try to hold a small event once a month and a large event every three months to improve the office atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, I let the matter go.

After returning to the room to say goodbye to Kyoko Mochizuki, I set off for Charles de Gaulle Airport.

I had thought about buying a house in Paris before, but after careful consideration, I felt that staying in a hotel would be more convenient, so I didn't make a move.

At this moment, Han Chudong took out an English version of Playboy magazine from her bag. It contained various watches, yachts, and photos of beautiful women and handsome men. There were too many irrelevant advertisements, making it look messy.

He is considering whether to invest in this magazine, whose total market value is only over 21 million US dollars, about one-third of "VOGUE".

Previously, I had been using other people’s channels for promotion, but now I suddenly want to build my own media channels, and strengthen my soft power while developing my hard power…
