Chapter 1141 You want to be like me?
Watanabe was taken aback when he heard this, and then burst out laughing randomly. This is definitely the best joke he has heard in recent years.

"Do you know who is behind me? Kill us? How?" Watanabe said with a smile: "Are you preparing for a financial war, a technological war, or a nuclear war?"

"You don't need to be so rampant. It's not like I don't have any backs. You'll know in a few days. From Motorola to Goldman Sachs, didn't you rely on crazy suppression of these Asian companies and countries?" Lu Feng said to the phone: " Don't say that you are an animal in my eyes, but in the eyes of Fusang people, you are still an animal."

"Why are you still scolded? I never care about other people's insults, because insults represent anger, and behind the anger is powerlessness. You should think about it. A few years ago, when you faced an opponent who was not as good as you, would you be angry? Now that you are angry with me, it only shows your weakness." Watanabe said slowly into the phone: "I heard that your mobile phones are selling well? This should be your biggest reliance, right?"

"Our mobile phones are selling well, Motorola's living space in China will become smaller and smaller, and we will survive!" Lu Feng said in a deep voice.

"Your structure is really small. It is limited to the market competition between one company and another. A real entrepreneur can see the prosperity or decline of a country, and even plan the prosperity and decline of a country. I can tell you like this You said, you will never have the same business structure as me. You can be a rich man, but you will never be an entrepreneur because you are ignorant of current affairs. I stand with the tide of the times. Who is the leader of the times? America!" Watanabe said very frankly: "Even if you drive away all Motorola and Nokia in China, how much of the global market will you occupy?"

"I'm not saying that yours is not good, but that your country and nation are not good. You will always be dominated by us in various fields. Do you know another Japanese American? His name is Fukuyama, and there is a book called " "End of History Conclusion", you should take a good look."

Watanabe's words are full of arrogance and contempt. He has a very high opinion of this person who joined the United States like him. He thinks that Fukuyama has told the truth of the world, and he is absolutely right to go to the United States with his life. He chose to stay in Fusang, similar to what Hirata Ichiro, who had helped Lu Feng before, called an uncivilized beast.

Lu Feng laughed when he heard such remarks, and said to the phone: "I understand, I seem to understand what kind of person you are, and my personal ability really can't change much, but you can wait and see! I have fluorescent fire, which is incomparable to the light of the sun and the moon, and when the fluorescent light suddenly appears, it can vent the wrath of everyone!"

The other end of the phone just chuckled twice and stopped talking. In Watanabe's eyes, Lu Feng was just struggling fearlessly, just like a brave man in front of a strong boat and gun.

The phone was hung up, Lu Feng just sat there blankly, sometimes he felt that this person was hateful, but then he thought, how many "Watanabe Chronicles" are there in China at this moment?
Shi Watanabe doesn't care about Motorola's situation. He no longer works for Motorola. Even if he hasn't left his job, the global market and China's market are too small. Now it's not people who sell high-priced goods, but domestic people who are begging people to import high-end products. .

Lu Feng was lying on the bed at night, thinking that he had the ability to subvert the earth in an instant, but he didn't. Even if he was a reborn person, he still had to live in the era. Finance converges to the country, and there is no way to let countries all over the world be their little brothers.

Lu Feng looked at the ceiling, blinked a few times, and muttered: "We live like grandchildren!"

The U.S. Maritime Affairs Department launched an investigation into the smuggling of embargoed goods. Su Yourong immediately used a large number of connections to pick them out for herself, and spent money to find someone to replace the legal person of the shell company. , All relevant documents were destroyed, and fake orders and documents were produced at the same time, making the company look like a transfer station, making it impossible to track down the final target company.

This matter cannot be done by Su Yourong alone, and the domestic high-level officials have also ordered related actions. In any case, there is only more than a year left, and there is still some control over Xiangjiang.

South Africa, South African Tungsten Mine Corporation, here is a three-storey building surrounded by a large courtyard. Tropical trees are planted in the courtyard, and various lawn gardening make this place extraordinarily peaceful and soothing. The third floor of the office building, the conference In the room, Ma Wanjun looked at his colleague who had been here for more than half a month, and said: "Now that the Tungsten Mining Industry Association has been established, all major mining industries are basically included in it. More than half of the world's raw tungsten ore is transported from here, so When we cut production together, we are bound to be pressured by all parties."

"Yesterday, several vice presidents and I went to meet with high-level officials in South Africa. We want to help them increase their voice in global tungsten mines, form influence, reduce production, and increase prices! The tungsten alloy processing plants here are basically foreign-funded, and they Who are the customers? The U.S. military, Airbus, Boeing, and various high-tech manufacturing industries."

"So once the production is reduced, it will inevitably cause huge turmoil. What this meeting wants to say is that there is no need for everyone to try not to go out, and to focus on their own safety at all times. The following mines will take away important parts to avoid mandatory production. , everyone guards their posts, that’s all.”

Ma Wanjun focused on security issues. He is very aware of the fragility here, especially in a foreign country, and there is nothing to do if something goes wrong.

At the same time, arrange for the delivery of irreplaceable parts of the machines deployed in the major mines, arrange for the mine protection team, and deal with the local police. The money that should be spent must be spent.

After the meeting, Ma Wanjun first sent invitation letters to all the local tungsten alloy processing enterprises, hoping that they would come to the meeting and announce something important. The invitation letter was sent by the South African Tungsten Mining Association.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, more than a hundred people gathered in the banquet hall of a local five-star hotel. Most of the people who came were white. upper class.

As the banquet began, after the host briefly talked about the theme of the Tungsten Mine Association, Ma Wanjun walked onto the stage, took the microphone and glanced at the crowd, and said: "Dear partners and friends, good afternoon everyone, I Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ma Wanjun, the general manager of South African Tungsten Industry, it is a great honor to invite everyone to participate in the meeting today, and it is also the official public appearance of the Tungsten Association.”

"Our association was established with the purpose of putting people first, respecting workers, respecting human rights, and even more respecting freedom. Under this concept, we have come together and hope that we can jointly build a beautiful, free, and equal earth."

There was sparse applause at the scene, and the white people present felt that something was wrong. They often heard about human rights and freedom in China, but it felt strange to hear it here, and they had a bad feeling.

Everyone in the audience whispered to each other holding goblets, looking at Ma Wanjun from time to time, not knowing what he meant.

"The establishment of this association can better protect the rights and interests of workers, so we issued the first proposal, which is to keep dangerous mines away from workers and return human rights to workers. We all know that the right to life is the greatest human right. Now Most of the tungsten mines here do not meet the world’s lowest safety standards.”

"Some tungsten mines do not even have ore clothing, miner's lamps, mining boots, and the mining road does not even have a detailed geological layer map, let alone support, and there is a risk of collapse at any time. The geological conditions of the upper layer of the mine road are not clear. I don’t know, some places should be poured with cement pillars for support. Last year, due to unknown geological exploration, groundwater backflow and return tide caused many soft rock and soft mine collapses.”

"At the same time, there are workers who do not operate in a standardized way, and the equipment is outdated. Some small mines even dig catwalks, relying on the ancient mining method of tying ropes to their bodies, which has caused countless deaths. We are deeply saddened."

Whether Ma Wanjun is heartbroken or not, the people below don't know, but they are already a little heartbroken at the moment, staring at Ma Wanjun in disbelief, what does he want to do?What does he mean by this?
Isn't this place always like this, as many people die as they die, anyway, the compensation is not expensive, they have already noticed something, but they can't believe that such a thing will happen in this land.

Everyone is human, you can't ask you to be like me, right?No way?

Feeling the eyes of the audience, Ma Wanjun paused for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "So, we decided to stop production for maintenance, put safety and human rights first, and from tomorrow onwards, no more than [-]% of the output will be retained, and the rest of the mine All production cuts, the time will be used to train workers and replace equipment. It is really difficult to make this decision, but we have to do this when we think of the lives of people leaving us. Today's production stop is for a better tomorrow. Production, I believe everyone will understand."

The people below are already dumbfounded, understand?How can I understand it?
"You mean, your output will be reduced by [-]%?" a white man called out.

"It's not [-]%, but the reserved production is no higher than [-]%." Ma Wanjun explained.

"How many mines do you have?" Another person asked hastily.

Ma Wanjun reported the members of the association, and they were shocked to find that all the suppliers of the companies present were in the association. As for when did the South African Tungsten Industry become their supplier?It was always under the management of the Ronald family.

There was a commotion at the scene, and some people rushed to the front row to ask Ma Wanjun how to calculate the liquidated damages. The supply quantity was written in the contract they signed.

"Human rights! I believe that human life is more important than liquidated damages, not to mention that it is stated in the contract that human rights are the highest priority in everything." Ma Wanjun replied.

There is indeed such a sentence in the contract. When they signed the contract with the Ronald family, the other party asked to add it. It was originally an innocuous sentence. Who knew that a person suddenly jumped out and said, really treat these people as human beings!
