If it was in the face of someone else, Wayne Henry could be honest, but not in the face of old Willy, for this old man who had dedicated his life and even his entire family to Colt, the news of Colt's imminent collapse was too cruel.
Perhaps seeing Wayne Henry's hesitation, Old Willy's mood gradually calmed down, and his voice became low.
"Are all those messages true?"
asked old Willie, thoughtlessly.
Wayne Henry knew what old Willy was asking, and after a little hesitation, Wayne Henry nodded in acquiescence.
There's no way to deny it, Colt is Hartford's star company, and the whole Hartford people are paying attention to Colt, and recently, the news about Colt's upcoming move to the UK has been spreading, and even because the old Willie's sons and grandsons are skilled and have become the main work objects of the Colt family, the old Willie must know this.
Mrs.
Colt hoped that the elder Willy's son and grandson would follow Colt to England, but the elder Willie was not in Mrs.
Colt's plans, after all, the elder Willie had retired, and for Mrs.
Colt, the old Willy had lost its value.
"Well, then, you're going to England too" Old Willie was depressed, his eyes were unfocused, and his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul in an instant.
"No, I don't want to go back to the UK, even if I can't continue in the industry, I think I can find another job."
Wayne Henry didn't hesitate this time.
After all, after being the general manager for so many years, Wayne Henry is still very confident, and if he can put down his body, it is not difficult to find a job.
Well, for Americans, in fact, there is no such thing as "face" at all, going back three generations, they all came to the United States when they couldn't get along in Europe, so Americans are very practical, when they first arrived in the New World, in the face of unfamiliar environments and terrifying Indians, "face" really doesn't matter, as long as they can survive.
"Of course, you're still very good as a general manager, and you should be able to find other jobs."
Old Willy's tone was a little perfunctory, but he didn't resent anyone, probably because he was saddened more than dead.
"What are the plans of Larry and Tom" Wayne Henry cares about the old Willie's family, after all, they were all Wayne Henry's subordinates before, if they don't want to go to England, then they will face unemployment, as the former general manager of Colt, Wayne Henry has an unshirkable responsibility.
Regardless of whether Wayne Henry has real power in the general manager position, staying in that position must be responsible for certain things.
"What else can they do, they can't go to Springfield, they can't go to New Haven, I think Larry and Tom should go to some mine in the Great Lakes to dig coal, just like Rex's kids, maybe then they can have a bite to eat."
Old Willy's expression was sad, Old Willy's two sons and five grandsons had no other survival skills, and when it came to the craft of making guns, Old Willy was confident that his children and grandchildren were no less than anyone else, but this only way of life had been blocked by the original contract, so there was not much room for Old Willy's family to choose.
Rex is an old friend of old Willie, and used to be an employee of Colt, and the old Willie's family all work in Colt, and the Rex family has also served Colt for generations, but the sad thing is that because Colt is not doing well, not long ago, Rex's family was laid off by Colt, Rex also signed a contract, so he couldn't find other jobs, and finally the family had to go to the Great Lakes mine to dig coal, which is really speechless.
Others may not know, but Old Willy knows very well that when it comes to technology, Rex is not much worse than Old Willy, if Old Willy is allowed to choose, no matter what, he will not lay off old workers like Rex, Rex is the same as Old Willie, they are all heroes of Colt, they should not be treated like this, they should have a more decent way to leave.
"Good luck" Wayne Henry hesitated for a while, but after all, he still didn't tell the old Willie Horse Group that the people were recruiting in Hartford.
Although he left Colt, Wayne Henry is a person who knows gratitude, and Wayne Henry can choose to leave Colt, but Wayne Henry will not do anything to be sorry for Colt.
At least Wayne Henry can't do it now.
Bidding farewell to the dejected old Willie, Wayne Henry lowered the brim of his hat and walked down the street toward his home with his head down.
If it had been before, Wayne Henry would never have slipped down the street like this, and Wayne Henry would have ridden his four-year-old quarthorse in the middle of the road with his head held high, eager to tell everyone that he was a Colt.
But Colt no longer exists This thought devoured Wayne Henry's heart like a poisonous snake, making Wayne Henry's heart twist like a knife, and he unconsciously had red circles in his eyes.
Who said that men shed blood without tears Not shedding tears is just because it is not to the point of sadness, men should be strong, but they should also be emotional, and the two are not in conflict.
As in the town of Stallion, the Colt's factory is populated by Colt's employees Oh, it should have been.
Wayne Henry used to be the general manager of Colt, so everyone knew Wayne Henry, on the way home, Wayne Henry didn't dare to look at people, Wayne Henry could feel that there was hatred in the eyes of those people, there was sympathy, and there were many inexplicable things, which made Wayne Henry feel unable to face it.
But there are always people who can't avoid it, like a nasty lawyer: "Wayne, come over for a drink." ” Grover Cleveland stood under a sign at a bar on the side of the road, his hands in his pockets, and smiled and invited Wayne.
If Grover was alone, Wayne could ignore it, but Grover still had several people around Wayne who were familiar with him, which made Wayne unable to walk away.
Grover's people Wayne knew him, Larry and Tom, the two sons of old Willie; Paul, this is the eldest grandson of old Willie, the little fellow with a strong body and a pair of large hands like steel pliers, and is the most skilled worker of Colt; Zach, a veteran of Colt, is no less senior in Colt than Wayne; Bobby and Peter, Rex's two sons, may have just returned from the mines of the Great Lakes, and Wayne could even smell gas on them "Grover, what do you want to do" Wayne couldn't see his expression, but it must be ugly when he thought about it, and his voice was like tearing linen, like a wounded beast.
If there is a group of sorry people in this world for Wayne, then it must be Colt's workers, looking at Larry and Tom's eyes with complicated meanings, Wayne feels embarrassed, there is a feeling of being stripped of his underwear and hanging in the square for exhibition, and it is like being uncovered in public, and the blood is so bloody that it is impossible to look at directly.
"I don't want to do anything, these guys around me want to treat you to a drink, I didn't want to do it, I know you're a stubborn guy, but they want you to come, after all, you used to be their general manager, and although you don't have the right to decide Colt's fate, they trust you" Grover's words made Wayne's emotions that he had been barely holding out completely uncontrollable. yes, they trust you Then to such a point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, these simple workers still trust their incompetent general manager, and Wayne burst into tears in an instant.
"Wayne, that's not your fault, even Bobby and Peter don't blame you because that's not your decision" Zach came over and patted Wayne on the shoulder.
"Wayne, we want to thank you, if it weren't for the money you lent my father, maybe my son would have died, so I wanted to treat you to a drink, although it wasn't enough to express my gratitude."
Bobby also came over, this simple guy didn't talk much, but he could always get it right.
Indeed, Wayne does not need to be responsible for the dismissal of Bobby and Peter, because whether to lay off employees or not, and who to lay off, is not something that Wayne can decide, but Wayne also did his best to compensate Rex's family afterwards.
"If you want me to say, you guys are really miserable, look at you Zack, you have served in Colt for thirty years, from your teens to now almost fifty years old, you have grandchildren, how much is your monthly salary and Bobby, your family all work in Colt, but you are so poor that you don't even have money for your children's medical treatment, I really don't know what kind of abuse you have received."
Lawyers are always poisonous, especially lawyers like Grover who can become presidents in the future, and their poisonous tongues can make people angry to death.
"You shut up" A group of people here are immersed in warmth, but they are emotionally destroyed by Grover, an outsider, these are all front-line laborers, and they all have a big temper, so no one saves face for Grover.
Grover didn't care, in fact, Grover was ready to be beaten just now, but it seemed that Colt's workers were more docile, not as temperamental as the workers of the Steed Horse Group.

The workers of the Horse Group are indeed very temperamental, all of them are fiery personalities, if someone dares to say that the Horse Group is not in Springfield, it will immediately incur a group beating, Grover, as the chief lawyer of the Horse Group, has handled many such cases, almost every month.
What Grover doesn't know is that not all Chinese are hot-tempered, but because of his professional relationship, Grover is exposed to this kind of incident, so Grover doesn't think that Chinese people are weak at all.
This is also the goal that Li Mu has been pursuing, from encouraging employees to own guns, to organizing employees to join the National Rifle Association, to mobilizing workers to join the Massachusetts National Guard, Li Mu can be said to have worked hard.
The effect is still there, at least some Chinese people have become more and more like Americans, from the way of thinking to the way of behaving
