Chapter 1675

In the afternoon, Charlie expelled and fired nearly half of the entire staff working for Kobayashi Pharma with incredible ease.

These people from Kobayashi Pharma were originally thinking of using a strike to fight against Charlie. However, they never expected that Charlie would not be softhearted at all. Instead, he fired all of them directly without leaving even a single person behind.

This incident caused a major commotion in the Japanese business community!

First of all, no one would have thought that Kobayashi Pharma, which had been developing and growing so well, would experience a sudden change of ownership. Ninety percent of Kobayashi Pharma’s shares had already been transferred to an Oskian, and it was now officially an Oskian company.

Secondly, no one would have thought that after Kobayashi Pharma became an Oskian company, it would fire more than half of its employees at one go!

In Japan, apart from bankruptcies, very few companies would suddenly expel and fire so many of their workers just like that.

This was especially so for a manufacturing company like Kobayashi Pharma who had nearly ten thousand employees working for them.

If they fired more than half of their workforce all at once, that would be equivalent to them getting rid of more than four thousand to five thousand people!

Moreover, aside from the production staff, all the employees in research and development, promotion, sales, and marketing positions had all been laid off. This operation left everyone feeling very incredulous.

From their point of view, this method of laying off people was tantamount to throwing away all of their most valuable assets.

However, Charlie did not care at all.

What he needed was not the Kobayashi Pharma brand or the reputation or patents that Kobayashi Pharma had. What Charlie needed was simply the production bases and production lines that Kobayashi Pharma had.

As long as Kobayashi Pharma could manufacture and produce the Apothecary Stomach Pill according to his requirements, that would be Kobayashi Pharma’s greatest worth at this stage.

The remaining Kobayashi Pharma employees who had not been fired were all people who were in charge of the production lines.

Immediately afterward, Charlie held a meeting at Kobayashi Pharma. He appointed Liam as the general manager of Kobayashi Pharma, and Ichiro became the deputy general manager.

At the same time, Charlie also gave a clear warning to the remaining employees who were in charge of the production lines.

“All of you who are in charge of the production lines should listen carefully to me. If you work for me honestly, listen to me, and do things according to my instructions, I will make sure that you can retain your job. I will also assure you that your income will be guaranteed. I can promise that if you follow me and work for me honestly, I will make sure your income will not be lower than what you earned before this.”

As he spoke, Charlie suddenly made a sharp change as he shouted sternly, “However, if any of you dare to have any bad ideas or thoughts, and if any of you dare to go against me, that will be too bad for you, then. I will kick you out of Kobayashi Pharma immediately!”

When the employees who had stayed behind heard Charlie’s words, they suddenly became very tame and docile. Everyone became very obedient, and no one dared to say anything else at this point.

When the atmosphere had been heated up and everyone was burning with rage, everyone wanted to fight and go against Charlie. This was because they felt that as long as they were united, Charlie would not be able to do anything to them. After all, he would certainly not want all of Kobayashi Pharma’s operations to stop running just like that.

However, no one would have expected that Charlie did not play by the rules at all. He did not behave conventionally, and no one could guess what move he would make. This was because even before the employees could unite together to confront him, Charlie had already fired more than half of the employees!

This immediately caused all of the employees who were fired and their family members to suffer a serious and sudden economic crisis.

Therefore, how could the remaining group of employees have any bad ideas or thoughts anymore? If they could just retain their job and ensure that they would not be drawing a salary that was lower than what they had earned before, this would mean that they would be able to ensure that their family would not be affected in any way at all. This helped them to calm down and relax a little.

At this time, how could they have any thoughts of resisting or going against Charlie?

So, the group of people was very agreeable, and they hurriedly surrendered and expressed their intentions of working hard for Charlie’s Kobayashi Pharma.
