Chapter 355
After sending off Ruan Dalong, Wu Ming went directly to the e-commerce company. According to Ruan Dalong, he must have gone to the e-commerce company to find Wu Ming before. When he saw Ruan Dalong, if nothing unexpected happened, it must be Bai Bin. Except for Bai Bin, no one had the courage to turn such a merchant out of the house. Wu Ming did not believe Bai Bin, but just wanted to hear Bai Bin's opinion.
After arriving at the company, the company had just gotten off work. Wu Ming pushed the door and saw Bai Bin talking to someone. After waiting for two minutes, Bai Bin hung up the phone: "I thought I was out of favor. Why did you remember that you came to my palace again?"
Wu Ming smiled and said, "I am in a good mood today. I want to eat some heavy-tasting ones. Come here to greet you, how can I have any opinions?"
Bai Bin smiled and said, "Tell me, what's going on? You've been a busy person recently. You will definitely not come if you don't have important things."
Wu Ming nodded: "There is a Vietnamese man named Ruan Dalong. He said he had seen you before, but was there any such thing."
Bai Bin nodded and said, "Yes, I remember there was such a person, but he was a liar at first glance, so I ignored him."
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, "Liar? I don't think it looks like it."
"Why, this kid ran to your side?" Bai Bin said, "Okay, I'm so persistent. I'm not giving up when I'm bombarded, so I went to find you directly. Wu Ming, you were told by him, right? I told you that this is not the case. Be careful not to let you cheat."
Wu Ming asked, "What the hell is going on? Tell me."
Bai Bin said: "That's right. This guy should be coming to you to invest in their country, saying that there are labor costs and tax policies that can facilitate your import and export business. That's it."
Wu Ming nodded: "That's right, I think these are quite attractive. After all, what he said is the truth. Now the traditional domestic industry is becoming more and more difficult to do. Entrepreneurial companies die and die, and we are considered an alien, and we have lived to this day. If we hadn't had my unique skills, I think we would have gone bankrupt long ago.
So now we have to think of ways and think about our future.”
"Wu Ming, how many times have I told you? Have you secretly read some business school textbooks?" Bai Bin said.
Wu Ming laughed a little embarrassedly: "Yes, I am a high school graduate. You can't just rely on the things I learned from high school to conquer the world. Now it's past the era of being an illiterate business tycoon."
"Wu Ming, let me tell you this. I'm not saying that there are problems with the textbooks of those business schools, but you are a practical player, and those things may not be suitable for you." Bai Bin said: 'Let me tell you a story. In the past, in a foreign city, there was an old man who set up a stall selling hot dogs. The old man had good skills, very good business, and a wealthy family.
Later, the old man's son went to a top business school. When he came home during the holiday, his son was excited to tell the old man to reduce the preparation of materials as soon as possible, otherwise he would definitely lose money.
The old man was shocked and said that our hot dog deal was doing well, so why should we reduce the preparation of materials and what should we do if we don’t sell enough?
My son said, our teacher said, the domestic economy is in a great depression, and the whole people are reducing consumption. You are always like this. After a year or two, you will not be able to sell hot dogs, so how much material do you have to waste.
The old man just thought that his son was a top student from a top business school. He was definitely right, so he reduced the preparation of materials.
The first day, this hot dog was not enough to sell, but the next day, it was not enough to sell. My son told the old man that if you persist for a week, you will definitely find it when the time comes. There are many fewer people buying hot dogs.
The old man persisted for a week as his son said. Those who used to buy hot dogs here were always unable to buy them, so they went to other places to buy them. The old man really found out. Even though the preparations were reduced by one-third, they still didn't sell them out. Later, the old man summarized a truth: knowledge is really wealth, and now it is indeed his fucking depression.'
After hearing this, Wu Ming laughed: "This prodigal son has made the old man miserable."
"Yes, but don't you think the old man is stupid? You are the old man now, and someone is fooled by someone." Bai Bin said: "The son in this story is correct. It was indeed during the Great Depression, but the old man's little hot dog business was not affected.
It's like your business. No matter how difficult it is to do traditional domestic industries, to put it bluntly, how much relations can have with you? You just said that if we didn't have your unique skills, we would have gone bankrupt long ago. But what is the actual situation now? The actual situation is that we have unique skills and secret recipes in our hands. The storm of industrial transformation will not have any substantial impact on us. You panic and follow others to transfer the production chain. Isn't this absurd thing?"
After hearing what Bai Bin said, Wu Ming suddenly felt enlightened: "So, am I smart?"
"You're welcome, that's true." Bai Bin said: "And, this Ruan Dalong is simply a liar, there's nothing to say. I'll tell you simply that many of my business friends have been deceived by such liars before, which is a new transnational scam."
Wu Ming was shocked: "No way."
"Who said no? You said just now that the factory with a small scale has become a trend of following the trend." Bai Bin said: "But in fact, we don't go to the inspection personally, and find a so-called partner in a dark way. Is this different from going to the battlefield with blindfolded eyes?
Previously, Lao Guo, a equipment supplier in Changzhou, believed in the fraud of this kind of fraud, thinking that the economy in South America is not weak, anyway, Lao Guo has praised this business for a lot of money in the past two years. At that time, not only will the labor cost be low, but it will also facilitate him to sell equipment to South America, because the main export direction of his equipment is those developing countries in South America."
"The result shouldn't be very good." Wu Ming said: 'Last time our villa opened, I remember seeing Lao Guo. He sighed and said that he suffered a big loss. I had something to do at that time, so I didn't ask much.'
Bai Bin snorted and said, "Yes, he built the factory, but it is found that the local labor cost is low! It's just that the cost on paper is a little lower.
However, the national character of those foreign countries is very different from that of domestic countries. People advocate enjoying life. The factory he opened in the Yangtze River Delta, which worker does not work for more than ten hours a day. When he gets there, hum, people are unwilling to do it for six hours. They leave when they are at the right time. If there is a urgent work, he will not have time to say hello to others and talk about overtime.
Later, I wanted to find the workshop manager there, but the person in charge left earlier than the workers, and the energy of the workers' union there was much stronger than our country.
Think about it, when you were in China, which private enterprise had a trade union? Even if there were, it would be just a rubber stamp union and had no power at all.
But in foreign countries, the trade union is a powerful organization that can compete with factory leaders and investors. Do you know what the South American workers there are trying to cheat Lao Guo?”
Wu Ming shook his head: "What do you look like?"
"Hmph, the factory has been working for less than three months, and the union protested, saying that the benefits are not good, and Lao Guo had no choice but to renovate the dormitory for them, and all three meals a day are provided with free buffets.
After a few days of silence, he said he wanted the factory owner to add medical insurance to them. So Lao Guo just got medical insurance for them. As a result, women in any country don’t come out to work, so they also asked Lao Guo to apply for insurance for their employees’ spouses for free. In the end, there was even a fucking gay man who wanted Lao Guo to apply for insurance for his 'husband'. It would be strange if Lao Guo didn’t have to worry about it." Bai Bin said.
Wu Ming laughed silently: "Why are those guys brainless? You can just stop when you get better. If Lao Guo makes the cowards anxious and withdraw the investment directly, where will they go?"
"Hmph, Lao Guo will dare to withdraw his investment at that time." Bai Bin said: "When the contract was signed, Lao Guo bought land at a low price and signed a contract with the local government. If the investment is withdrawn within a few years, there will be a huge fine to compensate those workers."
Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "So, who dares to invest in this broken country?"
‘Yes, which country has become a nightmare for investors now. Many people would rather leave with fines on their backs. Long pain is worse than short pain. Bai Bin said.
"Then their national government doesn't care. The economic situation in South America is not good at all. If this continues, it will be endless." Wu Ming said.'
"Share you? Just keep in mind, where did the country's government come from? It's not from the vote?" Bai Bin said: "If anyone changes the policies of foreign-funded enterprises and causes losses to the workers in their own country, even if they ruin their political future, the government will not dare to take care of it.
Unless, until these lazy people realize that there is no way to survive, they can agree to the relevant authorities' adjustment of policies. However, the people are all late to realize that by then, it will probably take a few years. I just don't know that your boss Wu can afford to wait in the past few years."
After hearing what Bai Bin said, Wu Ming suddenly felt that his three views were subverted. He used to open a factory overseas, but it sounded high-end, atmospheric and international. But now thinking about it, this matter is simply a face-saving project with stupid people and a lot of money. Even if the labor costs in China increase, the overall environment is still much better than abroad.
To put it bluntly, in China, you are willing to spend money to solve local employment and bring about economic prosperity. You are the old man. When you abroad, you pay for investment and lose money after you finish your work. You have to contribute to the local area. After finishing your work, you are still a grandson.
Wu Ming sighed: "I understand that when I say that, I don't think about it anymore. I don't think about it anymore. I don't think about it anymore. Whoever the hell loves to invest, whoever wants to invest? If that damn monkey comes again, I will have someone throw it out to him directly."
"That's right." Bai Bin said: "By the way, it's okay tonight, why don't you go have a few drinks."
"Okay, what's wrong with the guest? Or Panlong Mountain?" Wu Ming asked.
"Come on, the dishes you cook are delicious, but they are too expensive and people can't stand it if they eat too much." Bai Bin said: "The barbecue stall called Huang Xiaomao. This kid is angry. It's great to call out some wine."
Wu Ming was overjoyed and called Huang Xiaomao immediately. Huang Xiaomao sounded like he was sulking in the room. Although Wu Ming had already taught Zuo Fengyuan's brother-in-law a lesson in the last incident, Zuo Fengyuan just apologized without any pain. Huang Xiaomao is still very unhappy, but for Wu Ming's sake, he cannot find trouble for Zuo Fengyuan, so he has not come out at home these days.
When Huang Xiaomao heard Wu Ming ask him to go for barbecue together, he finally felt a little excited: "Okay, I haven't had barbecue for a long time. Jing's mother is sitting in the hotel and eating your big dish, and she can't taste it... Hey, let's do it, you go first, I'll come later."
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll handle the small things myself, wait for me." Huang Xiaomao said that, and hung up the phone.
Wu Ming and Bai Bin left the company and soon arrived at the barbecue stall. However, after eating for a long time, they didn't see Huang Xiaomao coming. Wu Ming took out his cell phone and told Huang Xiaomao not to call him. When he found out that his cell phone had been turned off.
At this moment, a car drove over at lightning speed, and soon, the army got out of the car: "Gangmaster, something happened to Brother Huang's house quickly!"
