America's Big Hero

On the second floor of the cruise ship, Sean laughed and smashed against the wall. People in the east were very pure at this time. In a few years, we will not see such interesting scenes.

Playing more than myself, at least I can't do the thing of arranging 100 mistresses in a community, my body can't bear it.

Standing behind Sean, Lorraine looked contemptuous, it's too annoying to have bad taste or something.

Below, some Chinese staff can speak English, but the French girls can't understand them at all. There is no other way, they can only look vigilant, hold their arms stiffly, and follow them to the second floor of the yacht.

Chinese personnel have strict codes of conduct abroad. It has only been four years since the 83 crackdown, and the idea of ​​hooliganism is scary.

I don't know what Sean is doing, but I can't just turn around and leave, can I?

On the second floor, Bi Zhengqing, the person in charge of Hafei, hurriedly walked a few steps, and said eagerly, "What is this for?"

"What are you doing?" Sean's expression was inexplicable, just like the real thing.

"These banshees, lesbians." Bi Zhengqing turned his head and took a look, no, the sea is rough and seasick.

"Service staff!" Sean spread his hands, "What's the problem?"

"No, no, Mr. Sean is too polite." Bi Zhengqing waved his hand quickly.

"No, no, no!" Xiao En shook his head and said with a serious face: "This is a must. When I went to the East, you gave me warm hospitality. Now that you have come to my territory, I must of course show my respect." sincerity."

"This, I really don't need it, you know Dongfang, these are too..." Bi Zhengqing looked distressed.

Xiao En patted Bi Zhengqing on the shoulder with a smile and said loudly: "Do as the Romans do, if I remember correctly, this idiom means that when you arrive at a place, you should abide by the local customs. This is a kind of politeness and a kind of Respect is also a manifestation of the inclusiveness of the oriental people from ancient times to the present, right?"

Bi Zhengqing opened his mouth wide, and the other negotiators also looked constipated. Does this foreign devil understand so well?

"It's not that you look down on Western culture, right? Do you think Western culture is vulgar?" Sean spread his hands, his expression not very good.

"No, no, no!" Bi Zhengqing's complexion changed drastically, and he waved his hands quickly. These words are too big, and they have risen to international cultural conflicts. Their small bodies can't bear it.

"It's fine if you don't have one, you scared me." Sean's face improved, and he smiled and said, "There must be diplomatic personnel here."

A middle-aged man smiled and nodded to Sean. He is a member of the embassy in Morocco. He is not responsible for specific negotiation matters, but only for diplomatic etiquette issues.

"That's good, you must know the American party culture, business receptions, either with a female companion, or the host's family will find many female companions."

"Yes, that's true." The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched, sometimes, but not all of them were so hot.

The eyes of a group of Chinese people unconsciously drifted towards the beauties in bikinis beside them, hey... Westerners are so corrupt and extravagant.

I really like!

"That's right. When it comes to reform and opening up, the first thing to emancipate is the mind. If the mind is not emancipated, how to communicate, even if you don't like it, at least you don't resist it. Otherwise, there will be no good communication environment, and there will be no communication. , blend in, isn't that deceiving yourself and others!" Sean said in a set manner, and everyone was really speechless.

Are you sure you are American?

Sean: No one understands reform and opening up better than me!

Chapter 399: Price advantage?

The hors d'oeuvres became the chill drinks.

An old-fashioned white half-sleeved shirt with a beautiful woman on his arm...

All of them walked with crutches, and Xiao En, who was standing beside Bi Zhengchun, tried his best to hold back a smile.

When Bi Zhengchun was chatting, his eyes were always observing Xiao En's face, and he always felt that this guy actually knew everything, and he was deliberately watching everyone's jokes!

If you don't look at the obvious white face, you can't help but take him as a Chinese.

Of course, this is Morocco. Now that Sean is in charge, Bi Zhengchun can only sigh helplessly, thinking that the blond beauty holding his hand is a junior, but her daughter...

Daughter or something, why are you so awkward!

"Since the country is open for exchanges, it is certain that Western ideas will enter the mainland, and the impact will be beyond imagination." Sean held a wine glass, and Halle Berry in a swimsuit held his arm, "I know Now many people in the east yearn for the western world and the United States, and they are rushing to go abroad, mostly young people."

With that said, Xiao En raised his finger and pointed at those beauties, and then looked at Bi Zhengchun, "Do as the Romans do, if you don't want to become an outcast, then those girls who go abroad will become like this."

"I call them easy girls!"

Bi Zhengchun's face was ugly, he really has a daughter... Thinking about how his daughter would become such an immoral look, old Bi's head would start to smoke.

What a fart country, and then shout out the leg discount!

Sean successfully shattered a woman's dream of going abroad.

After chatting for a while, Bi Zhengchun still remembered the purpose of their visit, and gradually brought the topic back, "Sean, how do you think about sales, starting with official purchases?"

"Official procurement?" Sean felt that he heard it wrong, official procurement of vans?

Crazy!

"You don't think that a product will be popular after the official sets an example, do you?" Sean smiled and spread his hands.

"What's good at the top will be bad at the bottom." Bi Zhengchun said naturally.

"That's right, the question is, who is the leader?" Xiao En shook his head with a smile and said, "In the east, the leader is the official. Doctrine has never been official!"

Bi Zhengchun was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that their thinking had developed an inertia. They naturally used the East to apply the West, shook his head, and asked again: "Is it capital?"

"Somewhat general." Sean shook his head. "In the West, 'upper' is very broad. The established aristocratic class includes the royal families of various countries, European aristocrats, and established capitalists."

"Others include emerging capital, political families, and political upstarts."

"It could also be an idea, a trend, a racial notion, ... a lot."

"The social structure in the West is relatively complicated, and it is not like the East. There is only one concept, and everything is inferior, and only being an official is high." Xiao En shrugged with a smile.

"Everything is inferior, but reading is high!" Bi Zhengchun corrected.

"That's because you can become an official by studying, well, I'm not one of those foreigners who don't understand anything." Xiao En stretched out his hand and patted Bi Zhengchun's shoulder, "It's better to sell tea eggs than to make missiles, so the person who makes missiles is not reading ?"

"Yes, I'm not studying, it's just a craft, like a master craftsman in ancient times, no matter how ingeniously crafted, it's just a skill of obscenity in the final analysis, and he can't be an official, so it's only natural that he is not as good as a tea egg seller .”

Bi Zhengchun's face was a little dark, and Sean shrugged, "Okay, let's not talk about these conceptual things, let's talk about business. If you can come to Morocco again, then it is determined to form a joint venture company."

"Yes, you are an expert in the East, and I won't hide it from you." Bi Zhengchun calmed down and nodded, "We also have some companies abroad, but they are all aid-oriented and have political significance. Cooperation is a purely commercial act, and everything is based on commercial standards.”

"Crossing the river by feeling the stones." Sean nodded, "Then be more commercial, and I will tell you the requirements."

"The initial step is to set up a company to carry out a new sales model Automobile Sales Service Shop 4S, a car sales company that integrates vehicle sales, spare parts, after-sales service, and information feedback."

"I call it a 4S shop."

"Fourth son's store?" Bi Zhengchun repeated, "It is indeed a brand new model, and we have no problem."

"Well, let's talk about the shareholding ratio. What are your requirements?"

"In the brand new sales model, we come here with a learning attitude. What we pursue is not the controlling stake but how much experience we can learn. Therefore, the shares are mainly based on you. How about a 4:6 split?" Bi Zhengchun said with a smile.

Sean smiled and shook his head, "The market is mine, the channel is mine, the business philosophy is mine, I don't lack funds, I just need to import cars from Hafei, so give me a 4 The reason for the shares."

"Uh..." Bi Zhengchun was a little embarrassed, Westerners speak too directly!

"Then how much did you say?"

"I will give you 2% because of friendship, which is an expression of goodwill, not because I have needs in this regard. Suzuki has GM among its shareholders, and GM has Rockefeller among its shareholders. Whether it is technology or production lines, I think If it's all a matter of one sentence." Sean pointed it out directly, of course, things are definitely not that simple.

Bi Zhengchun bowed his head and pondered for a while. Before coming here, he set the tone that cooperation must be facilitated, even if it is a disadvantage.

To lose money is to take advantage. For Dongfang, this is a brand new attempt. Whether it succeeds or fails, it will learn some experience. State-owned enterprises, making money has never been the most important thing, serving the country and the collective.

and so……

"Thank you very much for Mr. Xiao En's help. He has always said that you are an old friend of the Chinese people, and the Chinese people will never forget you." Bi Zhengchun said solemnly.

"I hope so." Sean replied with a smile.

"Speaking of help, we have a small request, that is, can we increase the proportion of Chinese personnel in the company's personnel composition."

"Hehe, how appropriate." Sean didn't care too much about it. The Chinese one was also pretty good, smart, hard-working, obedient, and didn't make trouble when working overtime.

"As much as possible, it can be regarded as the Chinese commissioned trainees, and the Chinese side is responsible for the salary."

"I understand that the necessary local people are still needed. I will try my best to help you, about 70% of the middle and lower levels of the company." Sean seemed to have made a lot of determination.

Bi Zhengchun seemed very happy. Everyone agreed that this aspect was more important than how many shares they had.

"At the top...?"

"This won't work. Eastern management philosophy is not suitable for Western society. For the normal operation of the company, up to 30% of the top management can hire Chinese personnel." Sean shook his head. What a headache.

"As for the distinction in wages, I don't think it's very good, as if I discriminated against Chinese personnel."

"No, no, no." Bi Zhengchun shook his head hastily, "You don't have to worry about this, we will bear the salary."

"Am I short of money?" Sean looked dissatisfied.

"It's not about money, Mr. Xiao En, if you really follow your salary system, it will be a kind of harm to us." Bi Zhengchun said with a serious look: "Now the domestic salary is about 400 a year. There are about 230 temporary workers, if the wages of these people working abroad are really calculated according to your standards, more than 1000 US dollars a year, how does this make the workers who are still in domestic factories think?"

Sean blinked. The salary of the American staff is at least 1000 a month, not a year.

"We are a developing country, and cheap labor is our advantage. It is this advantage that keeps our products competitive enough. Workers' wages are high, so how to ensure the profits of state-owned enterprises."

"It's going to break the wage structure system and it's a serious injury."

Raising workers' wages is harmful to the company. After summarizing, Sean swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded heavily, his face full of affirmation, "You are so right, your understanding is too deep!"

Capitalists dare not be so whimsical, this awareness is simply amazing!

"In the United States, due to the excessive increase of workers' wages, a large number of manufacturing industries have been outflowed. The employment environment for the people is very poor, the unemployment rate is high, the law and order are chaotic, and the society is unstable!" Sean grasped Bi Zhengchun's hand, full of emotion, "This It’s terrible, you must learn a lesson and resolutely keep the workers’ wages unchanged for 100 years!”

"Is work just to make money? Narrow!" Xiao En's words resounded loudly, "Work overtime for the rise of China!"

Bi Zhengchun blinked, this sounded very mainstream, but for some reason, it always felt a little bit wrong?

"According to your requirements, I will cooperate with you to work. Of course, after all, we are working for our company, and we still pay the salary. Well, the soft girl currency is directly distributed in China." Sean said along the lines: "As for the money in Morocco During the period, I will arrange staff dormitories and canteens, and I will also cooperate with local medical institutions in terms of medical treatment, so as to absolutely solve all the worries of Chinese personnel who come to work in Morocco!"

As far as this salary system is concerned, Xiao En feels that it is actually quite good to hire all Chinese personnel.

It's really not that he's a capitalist. His own experts have said so. What else can Sean do?

He is just a capitalist, what bad thoughts can he have.

We have discussed the shareholding ratio, the employment and wage system, and the rest is the price of vehicle imports.

"We all agree on the price, 3.5 RMB." Bi Zhengchun looked calm, but secretly glanced at Xiao En.

"Gift crab?" Shock was written on Sean's face, "Are you kidding, I bought this kind of junk for $11600, and that's not counting the import duties, investment costs, labor costs, and profits of the fourth son's store, so wouldn't I To start at $1.5?"

"Moroccans are crazy to pay $1.5 for something like this?"

"Uh... I'm making it easy, that's the domestic price." Bi Zhengchun was a little embarrassed, 3.5 is the unified domestic sales price.

With a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan, it is strange that the car can be sold for 3.5 yuan.

"Well, our domestic price is generally higher than the export price." Bi Zhengchun added, "There is a tax rebate for export."

Xiao En curled his lips, so there is no need to tell him such words to prevaricate the common people.

During this period, the price of internal products was higher than that of foreign countries, and it was much higher, so it was not a tax issue.

In the 80s, smuggling was rampant, Panyu, Nansha, Wenzhou, Weihai...

From large TVs, washing machines, tape recorders to small watches and sunglasses, you can buy goods at normal prices abroad and ship them to the east for wholesale, making a lot of money.

Those who have lost their goods will buy from these places and bring them back to the city to make a fortune, which is still cheaper than similar domestic products from the supply and marketing cooperatives.

The labor cost is more than 30 times lower than that of the notebook, and when all aspects of the product are more than 30 times lower, the price is 1-3 times more expensive than the foreign original.

"You know, it's not that I don't know anything about Dongfang, but I actually don't understand why the final product is so expensive when your labor cost is dozens of times lower?" Sean asked curiously : "And on the basis of such a high profit, why are many factories still losing money?"

"Uh...we are a state-owned enterprise, and we still have to pay the wages of retired workers." Bi Zhengchun didn't know how to explain to Xiao En, and his words were very vague.

"That's not right. At most, the labor cost has doubled. You guys are dozens of times lower than us." Sean shook his head. I know that one plus one equals two. You can't fool me!

"Uh, there are many benefits, meals are cheap, and medical expenses are reimbursed, um, yes, that's it." Bi Zhengchun nodded stiffly.

Sean curled his lips. It's not that he doesn't know the level of medical care and living standards.

It is enough to ask here, and to ask again is to expose the shortcoming.

In fact, decades later, it will be the same in many cases. When you go abroad, you can’t avoid the topic of shopping. Well, it’s like shopping, not only luxury goods, but many products are also cheaper than domestic ones.

For example, purely original cars are also cheaper abroad, much cheaper, because of the high import tax, the purpose is to protect car companies...

The market is exchanged for technology, the market is given, but the technology has not developed.

You can make money with protection, so why invest large sums of money in improving technology?

It’s not good to do something with money. Is it sick to invest in a technology that I don’t know if it can be researched?

Can you wait, wait until someone else researches it and use it?
