Nanjing Auto Sends Chefs to Birmingham

Apparently, the advance team that Nanjing Auto sent over to
Rover’s Longbridge plant in Birmingham UK is not liking the fish and chips. Concerned with its staff not being able to
function properly, Nanjing decided to fly in its own chefs, raising fears that few Longbridge jobs will be saved. After
beating its rival SAIC in a bidding war over MG Rover with $95 million, the Jiangsu-based company has flown in teams of
its engineering and manufacturing specialists over the past weeks, and while talks with GB Sports (run by former Rover
executives) hasn’t born any fruit yet, one thing is clear, Nanjing’s staff need its home-cooked Chinese food. While
this might seem ridiculous to some and a hostile move to others, we think it’s quite natural for Nanjing’s mid-aged
Chinese staff to suffer food withdraws. Just imagine if you couldn’t get any burgers for a month.
