Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1375 Southern World

"What other business can be done here? I'm talking about the physical manufacturing industry. We certainly can't do large-scale infrastructure construction. It's easy for major security incidents to happen here."

Halfway through the reception banquet, Ji Donglai and Dai Yonghe started chatting in detail. The current situation in the Middle East is basically stable, and all that remains is to continue to expand business to the surrounding areas.

How to build a larger network to bring Chinese goods, especially all goods within the one-yuan manufacturing network, is the key point.

Mature entrepreneurs can make reasonable use of every relationship point. At the moment, Dai Fengxian still owes Ji Donglai some love. Of course, the other party also wants something from Ji Donglai. After all, the other party has been operating here for so many years and a child was kidnapped. It is difficult to say that there are no other elements in it.

"The things we need here are very complicated, mainly due to the serious polarization between rich and poor. People who are engaged in the oil and mineral business are so rich that we can hardly imagine. As civilians, you have also seen that there are many people doing nothing on the streets."

"The rest are these niggas who are hoping to get a huge profit. Over the years, some bosses in the construction industry have come over, but they have been unsatisfactory. Because most of them just bought low-end manufactured goods. There is no market for local high-end consumers.”

"The purchasing power of local residents has not yet increased, so they eventually returned home. I now know that several owners of sanitary ware brands are preparing to start business here."

"There are still people who want to do land business, but in the end they are either cheated or lose all their pants. The country's system here is very complicated, and they have almost perfectly inherited all the systems of their mother country, but their poor economy cannot afford it at all. High institutional costs.”

"It is precisely because of this that this country actually has two systems or even multiple systems. Especially when it comes to land, it is very complicated. You must first sign a contract with the national department, which is basic. But this is still It’s not over, you have to do a project or acquire land somewhere, and you have to sign a contract with the chief.”

"Then you have to sign a contract with the landowner. Even though the country here looks very primitive, every piece of land has its own owner. If you don't understand it, you may die here, because everyone can tell their own story. reasons."

Hearing that Ji Donglai wanted to invest locally, Dai Yong and Fang took it seriously and began to explain local customs to Ji Donglai.

"Sometimes a good piece of land will be sold four or five times, so if you want to do something, you need to pay five times the cost of the land. Many Chinese who come here to do business don't understand the complicated local relationships at all, and rashly invest their money Come in, after all, the official fee is very low.”

Not to mention the land issue, which is easily determined in China with ownership relationships, it is enough to cause a headache here, and the problems Dai Yonghe mentioned are far from over.

The Chinese have a long history of doing business here, and they have been present since China's reform and opening up.

"After I started working on it, I realized that it was a huge pit. I couldn't leave it, and I couldn't stay. And often the local niggas are an unreasonable group of people with primitive and simple ways of thinking. They will ask for anything if they reach out. This thing is very difficult to deal with..."

The first group of people who came here did not leave a good impression on the locals.

"It's such a complicated relationship, which has led to a lot of conflicts and disputes. Often you sign a contract with the country for a certain piece of land, but when the project is done, you find out that the land has been sold. I think If you want to do something, you have to buy the land again.”

It was true that Ji Donglai had done a lot of homework before coming here. He was shocked when he heard Dai Yonghe say this. Only then did he realize that this seemingly civilized land still had many stories.

Many people come to do business through attracting investment. As a result, the people who come are often mom-and-pop shops in the first stage and groups of relatives and friends in the later stage. The family business model in East Asia has all been copied to the local area, and there are almost no local employees in the company.

Companies with local employees only give local employees a low-paying position. The education level of local employees is very low, and those with higher education have joined government departments.

This kind of enterprise is doomed to have labor-capital conflicts become the norm, and firing workers was a common method used by Chinese enterprises at the time. The result is absolutely not feasible locally, as local laws copy almost all labor laws in Europe. Prior notice, legitimate reasons, necessary compensation, and penalties for overtime work will be required if complained.

Starting with a black hired worker who initiated a lawsuit, this kind of thing has a beginning and an end.

The local elites even specifically targeted Chinese companies and formed an industrial chain to create trouble and then help local people claim compensation.

Chinese companies have improved in this regard over the years, but not much.

The hard work of domestic workers has given all business owners who invest here the illusion that all employees in the world are like this, so the domestic oppression and oppression have been brought here.

Whenever something happens, commercial bribery is used to settle the matter, which has a huge negative impact on the entire Chinese business environment.

“Are there any Chinese doing the local scrap collection business?”

Ji Donglai listened carefully to Dai Yonghe's every word, and gradually a new idea formed in his mind. Dai Yonghe couldn't help but be stunned.

"I really haven't heard of this. The key is that the profit from this thing is not high. Mr. Ji plans to collect scraps? This is a business, but can Mr. Ji's company be interested in this thing?"

Looking up and down Ji Donglai carefully, Dai Yonghe felt incredible.

After all, for a big boss with such a high net worth, there are too few scrap collectors. Besides, even the locals don’t like this thing. Otherwise, how could there be so many waste glass bottles, waste plastic bottles and tires on the streets?

"Hey, why don't you think of it as a futures business? I particularly admire the scrap purchasing business of the people in Henan. It is never embarrassing to pull a small cart every day."

"I'm not afraid of you making fun of Mr. Dai. When we started the business, we were in a small boiler room. There were no more than ten workers including me, accountants, drivers and chefs. There was also a construction team there. "

"Isn't it starting to work gradually now? Don't just look at the small business. I want to find a suitable location to set up a scrap collection station here and hire a few local people to sort it for me."

"Do it from the shallower to the deeper. After all, I just came here and I don't know what kind of business I can invest in. In addition, if there are suitable Chinese factories that I want to sell, please recommend them to me. Let's see if we can cooperate or buy them."

"I'm not familiar with the place, so please take me with you and take care of me, right? There are business experiences in poor places. We started from small things, so we can't forget our roots."

Having made up his mind, Ji Donglai raised his glass to Dai Yonghe with a smile in his eyes. Dai Yonghe couldn't feel Ji Donglai's pulse for a while, so he could only agree.

After dinner, Dai Yonghe hurriedly helped Ji Donglai contact several local Chinese bosses who were preparing to sell the factory. Ji Donglai and Ran Bo took a rest and set off directly.

To Ji Donglai's surprise, Dai Yong and the assigned driver were sitting in the passenger seat during the entire process. The pistols in their hands had the safety on, with their fingers on the trigger and placed on their thighs.
