When this topic came up, Sam was infuriated. The last time Frontier Tech poached his employees, it led to a betrayal, and he nearly got killed. His hatred for Frontier Tech ran deep. But regardless of his hatred, he still needed to stay informed. Frontier Tech's chip technology plans were aimed at the entire chip market.With a sigh, Sam said, "With billions of dollars injected, their arrogance is through the roof! But arrogance aside, this company is quite powerful."I’ve reviewed several of their recent patents, and they don’t overlap much with ours, which indicates their strong research capabilities."They’re formidable opponents, but some of their methods are downright dirty!"Eric nodded repeatedly. "Alright, this matter will trouble you a bit. Please visit Frontier Tech more often to find out when their overseas team will come next."Sam didn't understand why Eric wanted him to investigate this, but since the boss had instructed it, he had to comply.Little did he know, E
Themos laughed. "Mr. Hampton is right! Let's all get rich together!"Sam smiled broadly. "That's the spirit, Mr. Ford By the way, didn't you receive some foreign investment? We could totally share the technology part of it."Next time they come over, could you introduce me? After all, we are in the same industry."It would be great to exchange ideas and maybe even unify our pricing, right?"Themos was bewildered. 'Introduce Sam to the top three international manufacturers? Hasn't Sam realized that the Innova Group's biggest competitors are these very manufacturers? What is he up to?'Themos couldn't figure it out. Even after Sam left, he was still puzzled. It just didn't make sense.-Meanwhile, Eric and Sylvia had just finished their passionate 'session'."Again?" Eric asked, still wanting more. "I want a second round."Sylvia, panting heavily, said, "No more, no more. If you still have energy, go find Lora or even Ruth. I can't handle it anymore!"Eric was exasperated. 'Thi
Amelia's complaints didn't have much impact. Yvette's arrival had been entirely due to luck, and it seemed like the timing for Eric and Sylvia's second child just wasn't right yet.The couple was not in a hurry. Though they wanted a son, they accepted that if it didn't happen, there was nothing they could do about it.With the rampant virus currently spreading, Sylvia and Eric were hesitant about having another child. Bringing a child into such a dangerous world didn't make sense.Sylvia and Eric were also very busy. After Michael's return, most of the overseas business was halted, and no further expansion was possible.The reduction in business meant a significant drop in income for employees in the overseas markets, so they had to figure out how to compensate them. That's just how things were.When employees' incomes were high, their spending rose accordingly. A sudden decrease in income would undoubtedly cause them great distress.To maintain support, Sylvia and Eric had to us
Even the security guards were reluctant to leave their jobs easily.Take Jacob, for example. He considered this job so promising that he wanted to do it for a lifetime.Instead of struggling in other companies, he preferred to relax at the Innova Group.After all, standing guard at the gate didn’t require any technical skills.With a laugh, Sam said, "You see, due to the foreign virus, many companies have cut back on personnel expenses. We also had plans to do the same, but it remained just a plan."Later, the head office issued a statement. Not only did we not cut back, but we even increased the budget slightly."Themos is being unreasonable about this. He says that while everyone else is cutting personnel costs, we’re increasing ours, putting them in a bad light."I heard he even formed a union to come after us!"The Innova Group's high spending on employees had always been criticized by other companies.Over the years, the Innova Group's provided salaries and benefits becam
The workers' conference was impressively grand. Salt City had suddenly become a benchmark!While there had been workers' representative conferences in the past, they were limited to certain larger companies or specific localities. But a nationwide one? That was unheard of until now.Some workers were moved to tears. They were finally going to join the employer ranks! At last, someone was considering their perspective and taking their side. They had waited so long for this day.-Morning came.Eric and Sylvia went to work as usual. Within the the Innova Group, no one even mentioned the conference, despite its grand scale. There was no discussion of the workers' representative conference among any of the employees.The Innova Group's treatment of its employees was already exceptionally high, both domestically and internationally. The purpose of a workers' representative conference was to improve employee conditions, but this was not an issue at the Innova Group.In fact, the Innov
Was it even possible that this idea came from the union?When Themos organized this qualifying conference, it wasn't to improve the wages and benefits of workers nationwide. Frontier Tech itself was already cutting back on personnel expenses. Yet, he quickly became the national representative for workers. At least, the title sounded somewhat intimidating.Many things often hid secrets unknown to the public. Take the workers' conference organized by Themos, for instance. Outwardly, it was promoted as being for the welfare of workers, to fight for their deserved rights. But who really knew the true purpose?No matter what, Themos certainly gained both fame and fortune. In the future, when people mentioned this event, they would likely regard Themos as a pioneer. When Donald finished speaking, thunderous applause followed.Many representatives were excited. Themos was a prominent figure in the domestic chip industry, with the backing of Salt City's mayor. The workers' future looked
Aside from Sam, Donald was also bewildered. Although he disliked Innova Group and despised the capitalists led by Eric, he couldn't deny the remarkable and indelible contributions the Innova Group had made to the development of Salt City.It was precisely because of the Innova Group that subsequent high-tech companies chose to settle in Salt City. Without the Innova Group, where would those high-tech companies be?Claiming that the Innova Group had malicious intentions was something Donald could never agree with. He cleared his throat, intending to remind Themos to be cautious with his words. Criticizing anyone was one thing, but targeting the Innova Group was unacceptable.However, Themos acted as if he hadn't heard.What workers' conference?Today, his goal was to denounce the Innova Group. He would paint black as white if he had to. Slandering the Innova Group brought him immense satisfaction.Among the representatives, he had already convinced a portion. As long as they follo
When everyone finished speaking, Sam stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! As I mentioned earlier, some of you come from the very bottom ranks of your companies!"The reason Mr. Ford says what he does is that the current economic environment is tough, and funds are tight. However, the Innova Group has ample funds, and maintaining such benefits is not an issue at all!"He’s worried that the company won't be able to sustain this, so he's setting the stage for a pay cut!"Sam chuckled. "Of course, I believe Mr. Ford has a solution to this, which is to announce a pay raise after this conference!"Themos recoiled at the suggestion. 'A pay raise?! Frontier Tech doesn't have the funds! How could we possibly raise salaries? It is utterly impossible!'Sam had cleverly put him in a tough spot.'Don't you despise the Innova Group's benefits? Aren’t you preparing for future pay cuts? Well, I'll make sure you can't cut salaries! Have the guts not to cut wages! Raise them instead! If you d
