It is often said that the most valuable thing in the 21st century is talent, and the same is true in the 19th century.
In 1836, Samuel Colt established his first weapons factory in Paderson, New Jersey, and in the nearly 40 years since then, Colt has accumulated a large number of skilled skilled workers, who are Colt's greatest wealth, and as long as these workers are there, Colt has a chance to make a comeback.
As Wayne Henry said, Li Mu is not uncommon with the machines in the Colt factory, because the machines in the Horse Weapons Factory are more efficient and more sophisticated; Li Mu is not unfamiliar with Colt's patents, because the patents owned by the Junma Group are more advanced; What Li Mu wants is the old workers of the Colt Company, who are priceless to the Junma Weapons Factory.
In fact, those workers are quite pitiful, many of them have worked for Colt all their lives, and some families of two or even three generations have worked in Colt, and their feelings for Colt are actually no less than Mrs.
Colt's, and now seeing Colt Company come to an end, you can imagine the sadness and uneasiness in their hearts.
Fortunately, there is no retirement system these days, and if Colt goes bankrupt, those workers will lose their jobs at most, and there is no "pension" to lose them, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a large-scale mass incident by now.
Don't think that there is no such thing in the United States, the United States does not ban guns, Colt is also a weapons company, and the proportion of employees with guns is very high, which is similar to that of the Horse Weapons Factory, and if anyone does not have three or five guns at home, they are embarrassed to say that they are Colt's employees, and such employees make trouble even more seriously.
Of course, the life and death of the employees was not in the scope of Mrs.
Colt's consideration, although Mrs.
Colt also felt sorry for the old workers who had followed Colt for decades, but in this matter, Mrs.
Colt was firm: "If the workers are willing to follow us to England, we can even improve their treatment, and still treat them as Colt's heroes; But if they don't want to, then they have to go as the contract says, although Colt left the United States, Colt's legal team is still there, if anyone dares to break the contract, we will definitely pursue it to the end. ” Military enterprises are different from other enterprises, involving too many core secrets, and there are many patent projects involved in the production process, so Colt employees have signed contracts with Colt when they join the company, and if employees leave Colt, they are not allowed to work in other military enterprises for five years.
This is not an overlord clause, because at this time all companies are the same, the Junma Group is even more excessive, the prescribed period is ten years, but the treatment of the Junma Group is too good, from the establishment of the Junma Weapons Factory to the present, there has not been a case of employee resignation, but the employees are trying their best to get their relatives and friends into the Junma Arms Factory.
With this clause, it can be said that the last way back for these workers in the Colt factory was cut off, and the best of them were also those who had worked in Colt for the longest time, these people had worked for Colt all their lives, and now they could not do anything but make guns, and now they were left with only one way to follow the Colt family to England, otherwise these workers would definitely be unemployed, and the whole family would be unemployed.
Wayne Henry probably didn't expect that even if it came to such a point, Mrs.
Colt still held on to this clause, after listening to Mrs.
Colt, Wayne Henry's expression was very struggling, and he hesitated for a while, and Wayne Henry suggested again: "Madam, Colt's workers have worked for Colt all their lives, many of them were born in Hartford and have never left until now, let them follow Colt to England, it is estimated that many people will be very sad, for the sake of them working for Colt for so long" "Wayne is not the lawyer from the Stallion Group looking for you" Mrs.
Colt said fiercely, but she was very sensitive in this kind of matter.
"Yes, ma'am" Wayne Henry did not hesitate, and admitted frankly.
There is nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing, Hartford is the territory of the Colt family, although the Colt family lost to the Stallion Group in business competition, but in Hartford, the Colt family still has enough influence, it is useless to deny this kind of thing, Mrs.
Colt only needs to speak, it is easy to know the truth of the matter.
"Okay, good, Wayne, I remember you worked at Colt twenty years ago, so now, even you are going to betray Colt" Colt is not to be discerned, women are always extreme in this kind of thing, in their understanding, human relations in the world are black and white, and no other color exists.
"It's twenty-six years, and I was only thirteen when I fell to Colt."
Wayne Henry's expression remained unchanged, and the sadness in his eyes grew thicker and thicker.
In the nineteenth century, there was no such thing as "child labor", and there was no "compulsory education", and it was normal for teenage children to come out to work, and they were paid the same wages as child labor, but they did the same work as adults, and everyone thought it was natural.
"Well, twenty-six years, then in those twenty-six years, Wayne, has Colt ever been sorry for you" Mrs.
Colt was angry, not paying attention to Wayne Henry's abnormality.
"No, ma'am, I will say that I have never done anything to be sorry for Colt."
Wayne Henry is still explaining that the relationship of more than 20 years will not be able to dissipate in a while.
"Are you going to do that now?"
asked Mrs.
Colt, with a very undeniable posture.
"Okay, whatever you think" Wayne Henry finally gave up, the husband and wife are still the same forest birds, not to mention the employment relationship, all these years in the name of the general manager of the Colt Company, but no actual power, after so many years of being a mascot, and now he has to take the blame for the collapse of the Colt Company, Wayne Henry is physically and mentally exhausted: "I will ask the lawyer to bring the resignation letter back, I will not go to the UK, I fled from the UK back then, and now I don't want to go back to make people see jokes, so goodbye." ” Wayne Henry was disheartened, and Grover Cleveland did approach Wayne Henry and promised Wayne Henry a large sum of money to invite Wayne Henry to be the general manager of the New Haven Arms Factory.
This general manager is different from Wayne Henry's current general manager, he really has real power, in fact, all the executives of the Junma Group have a lot of freedom, as long as the performance is okay, the head office will not interfere with the operation of the subordinate branches, and the general manager in Colt is a world of difference.
Hartford is very close to New Haven, only more than 40 kilometers away, there is a railway between the two cities, if you work in New Haven, there is no problem at all to return to Hartford on the weekend, Grover even promised that Li Mu can use his personal connections to build a special train for Hartford people working in New Haven to travel between the two cities.
As for Wayne Henry's contract, Grover Cleveland, as the chief lawyer of the Horse Group, said that there is no problem at all, Wayne Henry can work for the Horse Group, if the Colt family takes Wayne Henry to court, then the lawyer team of the Horse Group will respond to the lawsuit, as long as the Horse Group is willing, there is no problem at all in dragging the lawsuit for five or six years, and the so-called time limit will automatically expire by then.
The same goes for other Colt workers, who are willing to work for the ZAMA Group, and the ZAMA Group can provide them with legal support.
This condition is very tempting, Wayne Henry doesn't know if the Horse Group has contact with other Colt workers at the same time as contacting himself, Wayne Henry can guarantee his loyalty to Colt, and others can't care.
It's just a pity that this loyalty now seems so cheap.
Leaving the Colt factory, looking back at the familiar onion roof, and the familiar bronze pony, Wayne Henry's eyes were a little red, so many years of relationship is not so easy to give up, but life has to go on, Wayne Henry does not plan to join the Horse Group, this is the last loyalty to Colt.
To tell the truth, the reason why Wayne Henry is loyal to Colt is because Samuel Colt's kindness has nothing to do with Mrs.
Colt, if when Wayne Henry arrived at Colt, Colt's head was Mrs.
Colt, then Wayne Henry would not have stayed in Colt for twenty-six years.
When he turned to leave, Wayne Henry looked resolute, and from then on Wayne Henry and Colt no longer had any relationship, it was supposed to be easy, but Wayne Henry was at a loss at this time.
From the age of thirteen to the present, Wayne Henry has been working in Colt, although he has been the general manager for so many years, Wayne Henry thinks that he is still an excellent gunmaker, although he has been out of the front-line job for many years, but all the work steps are in Wayne Henry's mind, and now give Wayne Henry a lathe and a billet, Wayne Henry can still make a pistol, even better than most workers make.
But so what According to the agreement with Colt, Wayne Henry can't work in the arms company, he can't go home and make guns and sell them by himself, and his only craft is now a constraint, and Wayne Henry doesn't know what else he can do.

"Wayne, Wayne" Wayne suddenly heard someone shouting to him on the side of the road.
Looking back, it turned out to be old Willie.
Old Willie is an old guy, in Colt, Old Willy is a very respectable person, from the first day of the opening of the Colt factory, Old Willy has been working in Colt, no one is older than Old Willy's qualifications, so Old Willy can unscrupulously call Wayne Henry, the general manager, by name.
The elder Willie's family all worked in Colt, and his two sons, five grandchildren, and even a son-in-law are currently working in Colt.
"Wayne, is there any good news?"
said old Willie.
Wayne Henry knew what old Willy wanted to know, but couldn't answer him
