Coquettish Rebirth

Of course, such a plan does not mean that after the plan is completed, it will be seamless, and then you can smirk and cross your legs to watch foreign countries collapse.There are still many small loopholes. For example, what if Japanese, American and European companies directly find other domestic manufacturers in China?For example, what should I do if I find Foxconn as an OEM?They may be able to explode a large amount of production capacity within a few months. Although it may not be as good as Huaxia High-Tech's production capacity at that time, it will also allow foreign companies to maintain low costs to compete.

But who said Jia Hongjian couldn't persuade Foxconn to join in the trouble?Although it sounds unlikely, because Guo Taiming has no "ambition" and just thinks about OEM all day long, never thinking about taking a step up.But Jia Hongjian was not afraid, because the general trend of history was on his side.Even without him in history, this process is still happening slowly, so if he succeeds, the effect will be quite good, and it may even become a classic business case in history.If it is not successful, it will not be said that it will fall short all at once, the general trend is difficult to be changed!Since the loss would not be too great even if he didn't succeed, why didn't he, Jia Hongjian, come in and have fun?right?

After watching Whirlpool's group go away, Jia Hongjian saw Ni Runfeng approaching, and he was still puzzled.It seems that I want to ask why the production line should be rented for free, and then shipped to Whirlpool at cost price.But before Ni Runfeng could speak, someone called him after Jia Hongjian! "Hey, Mr. Jia, hello, I'm the founder of Mattel, and my name is Ruth Handler..." Jia Hongjian turned around, only to see an old lady accompanied by a group of people Stand behind yourself.And next to a group of white people behind the old lady.There was also a group of Jia Hongjian looking at the familiar Chinese.He knew this group of Chinese people, who seemed to be from the state-owned toy factory that wanted to manufacture Barbie dolls.

"Hello ma'am, it's nice to meet you. Are you tired of standing like this? Would you like to sit down and talk?" Jia Hongjian smiled at this moment, displaying our Chinese virtue of respecting the old and caring for the young, and being quite polite to the old lady . "Oh, thank you, if a few years ago I might say that my body is still strong, but when people get old, it is easy to feel that the physical condition suddenly deteriorates in a year or two, and it is the best to be able to sit down...Young Don't you want to sit?" The old lady sat behind the chair Jia Hongjian had pulled over.Surprised to find that Jia Hongjian was still standing beside her.

"Hehe, in our Chinese tradition, women like you are the elders, and we are the juniors. We have to stand up and show our respect to you. After all, you have seen too many things. Your experience can often make you We avoided many mistakes, didn't we?" Jia Hongjian smiled gently, and then stood respectfully in front of the old lady.There was no point in sitting down. "Oh, young man, I really like you!" The old lady laughed, "Then let's get down to business, young man, I heard from the Chinese companion you brought just now that if they help us produce Barbie dolls , can reduce the cost of each doll to 2 dollars? Is this correct? There will not be any forced labor or long working hours, child labor, discrimination, abuse, etc.? Wages will not be deliberately lowered? Maybe you don’t know, our company set up a department in 1997 to check the situation of foreign factories... and the quotations of many Southeast Asian factories are higher than yours..."

This is also understandable. Jia Hongjian knew that before the Asian financial crisis, the currency prices in Southeast Asia had been rising all the way, and it was possible that their wages were higher than those in mainland China.However, after 97, when the financial crisis in Southeast Asia came, the losses were the same as when a typhoon landed.Then it caused the currency value in Southeast Asia to plummet all the way. Although this stimulated exports, it actually evaporated a lot of domestic wealth.Although the value of the currency has been slowly rising in the past two years, China has also come to grab exports to Europe and the United States, which makes Southeast Asia a little sad.

"Ma'am, you can rest assured about this, even I think my partner is welcome to send your team to our factory for inspection. To tell you the truth, our partner's factory is a state-owned factory in China, actually in China's domestic welfare is quite good. After all, the factory manager does not need to pay for the welfare, right? Haha, in short, we absolutely guarantee that each worker's regular working time is 8 hours, and overtime wages will be paid if it exceeds. You can rest assured. In order to achieve a greater production speed, we will adopt a three-shift strategy, that is, the machine will not stop but the employees will rotate. Each employee will have a working time limit of 8 hours, and night shift employees will also have extra Wage compensation. Our wages absolutely comply with the Chinese government’s requirements for local minimum wages. At the same time, we will not use child labor, nor will there be any forced labor or discrimination. Even this factory has long had a labor union and employees The congress can fully express the employees' opinions on various regulations of the company, and our side is very formal!" Jia Hongjian said with a smile,

"If we squeeze the workers by all means, we can completely reduce the cost to the point where a doll only costs 1 US dollar. Please believe that with the help of the former Soviet Union, China has established a basically complete industrial base from scratch, and Shuchuan Province, where our factory is located, used to exist as the last counterattack base in the event of a nuclear war, so it has a complete range of industries..." Jia Hongjian was really confident.It can even be said that you have to be confident!Our domestic sweatshops are indeed all kinds of unreliable, but how can there be such a thing in a regular state-owned enterprise?Moreover, there is no such thing as personnel dispatch in state-owned enterprises these days, so there is basically no child labor or forced labor-even if people are called to work overtime in the middle of the night, the money will still be given, but will they be paid? It's another thing for the workshop leader to deduct money, and even if the trade union and the like are just giving out benefits, that's still there!Even the low basic wages of Foxconn and the like allow workers to earn more money by working overtime. This is not the case in state-owned enterprises. Otherwise, how could state-owned enterprises fail to compete with them in China?

The old lady was obviously very interested and satisfied with Jia Hongjian's guarantee. "Okay, then young man, we will arrange a team to go to your place to investigate later. If it is true as you said, our company is willing to hand over part of the order to you. Although cost is important, sometimes it is not the most important Yes, isn't it?" The old lady smiled, and stretched out her hand to let the entourage beside her help her up.She shook hands with Jia Hongjian, gave him a business card, and Jia Hongjian gave her one too, and the conversation was over.

Seeing the old lady turn around to leave, Jia Hongjian instantly took out a small phone book from the inside pocket of his suit, and wrote down a line on the back of the phone book—"Barbie OEM does not need to build a new factory .Directly produced by state-owned enterprises.” That’s right!Through such a 2-minute conversation, he can clearly find that this old lady is a little bit of a "spiritual cleanliness".Just like what the old lady said just now, "cost is important, but not the most important". Obviously, she wants a factory that "treats workers kindly" to produce, not a factory that oppresses workers for the sake of cost.In this way, isn't the state-owned enterprise itself suitable?Establish a tertiary production factory that is a joint venture with a state-owned enterprise.Then recruit young assembly line workers or something.That is mainly to reduce benefits to reduce costs.To rely on cost competition.Since the old lady didn't mind the slightly higher cost, why did Jia Hongjian bother?He expected that he would have a lot of things to do today, so he was afraid that he would forget in a hurry.Just write this down and talk about it!

Seeing that Jia Hongjian had finished memorizing here, Ni Runfeng was about to ask Jia Hongjian, but at this moment, his assistant suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "Mr. The people from Maytag said that their CEO wants to meet you..." "Oh? Okay, let's go!" Ni Runfeng glanced at Jia Hongjian, and found that there was a group of people around Jia Hongjian in an instant. The foreign company brought people from Shuchuan factory to consult Jia Hongjian. Seeing that Jia Hongjian was busy, Ni Runfeng could only choose to find time to ask Jia Hongjian his question later—why? What about producing things for foreign companies with zero profit?

But who knew that he didn't have time to ask this question all night!Such a venue lasted until 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was as lively as a vegetable market.Entrepreneurs from both sides of China and the United States chatted and contacted freely with the company of translators, and then found out that the quotation in China was extremely low. They all dragged the Chinese people to find Jia Hong in disbelief, as if they had met a liar. gradually.Then Jia Hongjian patted their chests one by one and assured them that there would be no problem, so that they were relieved one by one, and then hurried back to discuss!So Jia Hongjian was not idle all night!It can be said that except at the beginning of the meeting, Jia Hongjian secretly ate a few mouthfuls when the leaders were on stage to speak, and in the next few hours he could only drink water at most, and he didn't even have time to go to the bathroom!At the end, after all kinds of American company teams left, Jia Hongjian really trotted all the way to the toilet with his legs between his legs and his belly covered!He talked dry all night, and couldn't go to the bathroom after drinking water and champagne. Now his bladder is about to explode, okay?Under such circumstances, where does Ni Runfeng have time to ask?

From this kind of details, it is enough to prove the success of this "Canton Fair"!Regarding the "prosperous" scene at the venue this evening, the staff of the consulate were so tired that they almost couldn't stand up, and they all slumped on their chairs. After all, they had to accompany people around and act as interpreters. Tired, but they are very satisfied.For example, the consul of the Los Angeles Consulate stayed until the end, and went to the bathroom one after another with Jia Hongjian!In the toilet, the consul and Jia Hongjian were next to each other, both "running water"!The consul couldn't help shaking while enjoying the comfort of releasing the water, then he turned his head and said to Jia Hongjian: "Little Mr. Jia, you are really good! You can bring us Shuchuan this time." Such a big benefit! Really awesome!"

Seeing the consul's smiling face, which couldn't even close his mouth, Jia Hongjian smiled lightly, "No, it's early. In fact, we are just on the road..." After saying this, he saw The consul was surprised, so he answered directly without waiting for anyone to ask, "Companies like Whirlpool are only interested in a product OEM this time, and it is estimated that the most they will turn around is to entrust us with the production task of a factory. We are still too far away from the total output of a single product of the OEM, or even the output of the entire company's product line of the OEM. Now it is only the first step of a journey of thousands of miles. It's just a stroke..."

Having said that, Jia Hongjian, who finished filling the water, shook it clean, closed the zipper, and then turned to the sink to wash his hands.The consul turned his head to look at his back in surprise, he didn't expect this young master of the Jia family to be more sophisticated than the consul himself!He was even more calm than the consul!This young man is not simple, he looks like someone who can accomplish great things!The consul couldn't help but think so... (to be continued...)
