Chapter 173 I also thought of it
Early the next morning, Zhou Ming and Su Han went out very early as yesterday. According to the plan, they went to another industrial area today and went to the whole day until it was dark in the evening.
Like yesterday, when Zhou Ming and Su Han returned to their villa, Li Zonglin came over again before they even talked a few words.
"Why didn't you bring bird's nest today?" Zhou Ming asked, looking at Li Zonglin's empty hand.
This question was so angered that Li Zonglin wanted to vomit blood. He almost ran away directly and rushed forward and strangled Zhou Ming to death.
However, Li Zonglin then remembered the purpose of coming here and endured it. He skipped the question and said to Zhou Ming: "My father is invited. I hope Mr. Zhou Ming can visit our Li family mansion and discuss some issues together, such as the problems in the company you mentioned yesterday that we have found."
When Li Zonglin said this, he looked arrogant and wanted to look at Zhou Ming directly with his nostrils. The meaning was very obvious, but he just felt that he was just a little ignorant of the so-called problem? He still grasped it. He really didn't know where the courage came from. Do you really think that he had saved the life of the Indonesian Chinese by chance and was the chosen son of God? This is not an ordinary ridiculous and childish thinking!
Facing his behavior, Zhou Ming was not angry, but just smiled: "So that's it, then I'll go over and listen to it with you."
Li Zonglin was a little surprised. He originally thought Zhou Ming would have to take it a little longer, but he didn't expect that he agreed so readily, but this made him even more disdainful of Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming was too lazy to care about what Li Zonglin was thinking, or even if Zhou Ming knew, he just laughed it off. After all, the ideological realm and vision of both sides were not on the same level. Just like an adult, even if you know that a little kid who was a few years old was watching you look down on you in your heart, you wouldn’t be able to go up and scold him and beat him. The most likely thing is to just smile and forget it.
Fortunately, Li Zonglin didn't know that Zhou Ming thought so, otherwise he would have really vomited blood.
Then Zhou Ming and Su Han followed Li Zonglin to the Li family mansion. The situation here was the same as yesterday. The heads of the four major clans of King Li, Chen and Zheng gathered here to wait for Zhou Ming.
When Zhou Ming arrived here, he first greeted the four people separately, and then asked: "Mr. Li Guangbi, I heard that you have found the problems in the company, right?"
Li Guangbi sat upright on the Taishi chair in the middle of the main hall, and said with a heavy emphasis: "I got your news yesterday. Today we also checked the factory and found some problems. I just don't know if it was the same problem as you, so I need to ask Mr. Zhou Ming, you come and compare it. Then please give me advice first."
Zhou Ming smiled and shook his head and said, "Since you have found it, I won't be ugly anymore. You should talk about it first."
Zheng Yinghong, who was sitting aside, said at this time: "It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming, you also know that the problem you found is not worth mentioning. Can't we take advantage of it?"
Zheng Yinghong deliberately stimulated Zhou Ming like this, but Zhou Ming did not look at him even at first glance, and even the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all. He completely ignored him from the bottom of his heart.
The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward, which made Zheng Yinghong very crazy and shameless. Even at this time, he hoped that Zhou Ming would scold him a few words, which would be better than ignoring him like this! But then Zheng Yinghong thought about it again, was he actually hoped that Zhou Ming could scold him so much, wasn't it a little too cheap?
Li Guangbi, who was sophisticated, relieved the embarrassment with a cough. He said to Zhou Ming: "Then let me talk first. Today Zong Lin also went to Senhe Electronics Factory and several other factories, and used a private visit to him. He found that these factories had a very serious labor shortage and lasted for a long time. It was only because of the investment boom and the rapid development of factories that this problem was not highlighted, right?"
Zhou Ming nodded: "It seems that you really went to investigate. This is the problem I discovered before. And it is not just the Senhe Electronics Factory, not only the Huashang Factory, but I went to several industrial areas and many different factories, and found that this problem exists."
"This is a problem, but this problem has been around for a long time." Li Guangbi told Zhou Ming, "Indones are not smart enough. They can't do many jobs themselves. At the same time, they are lazy and have no contract spirit. They often work for two months and don't come to work after getting their wages. This makes us very troublesome and makes us afraid to go to too much training for them. This leads to fewer and fewer qualified workers, and eventually a vicious cycle."
"This is the reason, but it is not as complicated as you said. In fact, it is because the rapid growth of Indonesia's economy and factories has led to the inability to keep up with the number of qualified workers." Zhou Ming said.
"So because of this problem, Mr. Zhou Ming, you drove me out yesterday?" Li Zonglin asked at this time.
Zhou Ming looked at him: "Isn't this problem still serious? There are not enough qualified workers, which means that Indonesia's investment and factory scale have far exceeded the number that should be available here, forming an economic bubble. I don't think I need to explain more about what the economic bubble means."
"Crisis." Li Guangbi slowly vomited out the answer.
The others also held their breath. Now the people in this hall are all businessmen who understand economy, so there is no need to explain much. Before Zhou Ming asked a simple question, they had already thought of it.
Just thinking about it, but now Li Guangbi really says it, it still makes people feel heavy.
"I understand, this is the crisis you mentioned by Zhou Ming. Now the economy of Indonesia and even the entire Southeast Asia is so prosperous with the investment of foreign consortiums. In fact, these investments have long exceeded the level that this market can bear. It is just because of the continuous investment, and most of the wealth is placed on factories and enterprises. In addition, the labor shortage invisibly increased the wages of workers, and the original quality of life of local residents is very poor."
Li Guangbi said: "Anyway, it's all the reasons. The very serious inflation did not happen. All the problems were covered up in the face of a large amount of investment."
Zhou Ming shook his head: "In fact, it has not been completely covered up. The market is very honest. As long as there is a crisis, there will be a reminder."
Zhou Ming continued: "I went to United Community today. I knew it was a real estate company in Lijia Holdings. The price of that property has risen by 20 percentage points compared with last year. In other words, the problem has begun to be reflected in the housing prices, but no one has really realized it now, or something is associated with through this question."
"You also went to a real estate company?" Li Zonglin was very surprised. You must know that he has been paying attention to Zhou Ming's movements. If Zhou Ming went to a real estate company, he didn't know that it would be his huge dereliction of duty!
But Zhou Ming looked at him strangely: "There is such a large billboard standing on the side of the road, which is marked with the average price of the community. Why can't I see it if I'm not blind? Just go back and check the prices at the same time last year. Why do you have to go into the company?"
The answer is normal, but it makes Li Zonglin very embarrassed.
Because when Li Zonglin thought that Zhou Ming always went here and there, when Zhou Ming mentioned the housing price issue, his first reaction was that Zhou Ming also went to a real estate company? But he forgot that real estate is not a factory, and if you want to understand housing prices, you don’t need to go to a real estate company at all.
Ignoring such a simple news channel, how could a businessman with a good reputation claiming to be qualified? Even Li Zonglin himself blushed.
Li Guangbi was the one who helped Li Zonglin to rescue him. He waved his hand and said, "How to know is not important. The most urgent thing now is to think of countermeasures, and this is also the main purpose of asking Mr. Zhou Ming to come tonight."
Li Guangbi is worthy of being the most outstanding talent in the Li family. Not only did he help his son with a few words, but he also grasped the key points.
Zhou Ming did not take this incident and asked them, "So do you have any ideas?"
Li Guangbi was cautious and did not answer directly. He looked at Zheng Yinghong. Zheng Yinghong knew that he could not escape, so he replied: "Since we know what the problem is, we just choose to avoid it."
Wang Yuliang also said: "Yes, it's very simple. Since the problem in Indonesia and the entire Southeast Asia is now creating an investment bubble, then the first thing we need to do is to withdraw from this bubble market, such as selling all the factories we have as soon as possible."
"But it's not that simple to sell." Chen Yongting added, "After all, if there is a market bubble, most investors will definitely be nervous, not to mention that there are Western consortiums and families staring at them. If we sell directly on a large scale, it will easily cause market panic. At that time, not only will our factories not be able to sell, but it will also cause trouble for ourselves."
Zheng Yinghong said again: "I don't think this is certain. After all, the investment boom in Indonesia is even more enthusiastic than we imagined."
I have to say that I have been the heads of their families in the past three days, very excellent businessmen, and they don’t point directly to the core of the problem. Even an ordinary person can understand it here.
Li Guangbi looked at Zhou Ming and asked, "So Mr. Zhou Ming, what do you think about this issue?"
Li Zonglin kept listening to Zheng Yinghong, Wang Yuliang and Chen Yongting's words, and felt that what they said was very reasonable, and some of them were even what he had not expected. Just when he felt that his father had to make a decision, he didn't expect that his father suddenly asked Zhou Ming. This made Li Zonglin a little angry. Could he still say something different?
It was this idea that Li Zonglin was still very disdainful of Zhou Ming, but then Zhou Ming's answer made him stunned.
Zhou Ming replied: "I don't think this is a good idea. If possible, it's better not to act rashly now. Even if possible, we should help continue to increase investment."
