American TV series

The cold dinner reception turned into a chilly reception.

Wearing an old-fashioned white Doliang half-sleeved shirt with a three-point beauty on his arm...

When the arms are rubbing, one hand must be in the pocket, and the gun is pressed tactically!

If it's a more private occasion, forget it.

In public, let people watch!

All of them walked on crutches. Sean, standing next to Bi Zhengchun, tried hard not to laugh.

When Bi Zhengchun was chatting, his eyes were always observing Sean's face. He always felt that this guy actually knew everything, and he just wanted to laugh at everyone's jokes!

If you don't look at the obviously white face, you will involuntarily mistake him for a Chinese.

Of course, this is Morocco, and Sean is the one who calls the shots now. Bi Zhengchun can only sigh helplessly, thinking that the blond beauty holding his hand is a junior, only his daughter...

Why is your daughter so awkward?

"Now that the country is open for exchanges, it is inevitable that Western ideas will enter the mainland, and the impact will be greater than imagined." Sean held a wine glass, and Halle Berry, who was wearing a swimsuit, held his arm, "I know

Nowadays, many people in the East yearn for the Western world and the United States, and they are vying to go abroad, mostly young people."

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

"I call them easy girls!"

Bi Zhengchun looked ugly. He really did have a daughter... Thinking about his daughter turning into such an immoral look, Old Bi's head started to smoke.

What a shitty country, and then shout out for a discount on over-the-legs!

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 procurement?"

"Official purchase?" Sean felt that he heard wrongly. Official purchase of a van?

Crazy!

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

"What's good at the top will be bad at the bottom." Bi Zhengchun said matter-of-factly.

"That's right. The question is, who is this?" Sean smiled and shook his head and said, "In the east, the top is the official. This is because of the official-oriented thinking in culture. The effect of official promotion is very good, but in the capital

Doctrine has never been official!"

Bi Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that their thinking had become inertia, and they naturally used the East to apply the West. He shook his head and asked again: "Is it capital?"

"It's a bit general." Sean shook his head. "In the West, 'upper' is very broad, and it includes the old aristocracy, including royal families of various countries, European aristocrats, and old capitalists."

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

“It may also be an idea, a trend, a racial concept, etc. There are many.”

"The social structure in the West is more complicated. It is not like the East, where there is only one concept. Everything is inferior, only being an official is high." Sean smiled and shrugged.

"Everything is inferior, but reading is superior!" 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." Sean reached out and patted Bi Zhengchun on the shoulder, "Making missiles is not as good as selling tea eggs, so those who make missiles are not studying.

?"

"Yes, I'm not studying. This is just a craft, just like a great craftsman in ancient times. No matter how miraculous the craftsmanship is, in the final analysis it is just a strange skill and cannot be an official, so it is natural that he is not as good as a tea egg seller.

.”

Bi Zhengchun's face turned 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 you are sure to form a joint venture."

"Yes, you are an Oriental expert, 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 in nature and have political significance, and this time with Sean, you

Cooperation is a purely commercial act, and everything is based on commercial standards."

"Crossing the river by feeling the stones." Sean nodded, "Then let's be more business-like and let me tell you my requirements."

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

"I call it a 4S store."

"Four Sons Store?" Bi Zhengchun repeated, "It is indeed a brand new model. We have no problems."

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

"We come to the new sales model with a learning mentality. What we pursue is not the controlling stake but how much experience we can gain. Therefore, the shares are mainly owned by you. How about a 4:6 split?" Bi Zhengchun said with a smile.

Sean smiled and shook his head, "The market is mine, the channels are mine, the business philosophy is mine, and I don't lack funds. I only need to import cars from Hafei, so give me a concession 4

The reason for becoming a share."

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

"Then how much did you say?"

"The reason I give you 20% is friendship. This is to express goodwill, not because I have needs in this area. Suzuki has General Motors among its shareholders, and Rockefeller is among General Motors' shareholders. Whether it is technology or production lines, I think

It's just a matter of one sentence." Sean made it clear clearly, of course, it's definitely not that simple.

Bi Zhengchun lowered his head and thought for a moment. The tone he had set before coming was that cooperation must be promoted, even if it means suffering a loss.

To suffer a loss is to take advantage. For Dongfang, this is a brand new attempt. Regardless of success or failure, some experience will be learned. For state-owned enterprises, making money has never been the most important thing. Serving the country and serving the collective.

so……

"Thank you very much for Mr. Sean's help. I have 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 responded 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."

"Haha, it's more or less appropriate." Sean didn't care much about this. The Chinese were pretty good, smart, hard-working, obedient, and didn't make trouble even if they worked overtime.

"As many as possible, they can be regarded as Chinese authorized training personnel, and China is responsible for the salary."

"I understand that necessary local people are still needed. I will try my best to help you. About 70% of the company's middle and lower-level people are." Sean seemed to be very determined.

Bi Zhengchun seemed very happy. According to the tone set previously, everyone agreed that this aspect was much more important than the number of shares held.

"On top...?"

"This won't work. Eastern management philosophy is not applicable to Western society. In order for the company to operate normally, up to 30% of the top management can hire Chinese personnel." Sean shook his head. This is really not him making things difficult. The Eastern management philosophy is that laymen command experts.

It's really a headache.

"As for the distinction in salary, I don't think it's good. It seems like I am discriminating against Chinese personnel."

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

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

"This is not a matter of money, Mr. Xiaon. If we really follow your salary system, it will be a harm to us." Bi Zhengchun said with a very serious look: "Now the domestic salary is about 400 a year.

Temporary workers earn about 230 yuan. If the salary of these people who work abroad is really calculated according to your standards, it is more than 1,000 US dollars a year. How does this make the workers who remain in domestic factories think?"

Sean blinked. The salary of American staff is at least more than 1,000 a month, not a year.

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

"This will break the wage structure system and do serious harm."

Raising workers' wages is harmful to the enterprise. After summarizing, Sean swallowed and nodded heavily, his face full of affirmation, "You are so right, your understanding is so profound!"

Capitalists don’t even dare to be so whimsical. This realization is simply amazing!

"Because the United States has excessively raised workers' wages, it has led to a large outflow of manufacturing industries. The employment environment of the people is very poor, the unemployment rate is high, the public security is chaotic, and the society is unstable!" Sean held Bi Zhengchun's hand and said with emotion, "This

It’s terrible. You must learn a lesson and insist on not increasing workers’ wages for 100 years!”

"Is work just for making money? Narrow-minded!" Sean's words are resounding, "Work overtime for the rise of China!"

Bi Zhengchun blinked. This sounds very mainstream, but for some reason, it always feels a little wrong.

"Just follow your requirements, and I will cooperate with you in your work. Of course, after all, you are working for our company, and we still pay the salary, um, soft sister coins, directly in the country." Sean followed the words and said: "As for in Morocco

During this period, I will arrange staff dormitories and canteens, and will also cooperate with local medical institutions on medical issues to definitely solve all the worries of Chinese personnel coming to work in Morocco!"

Regarding this salary system, Sean feels that it is actually quite good to employ all Chinese personnel.

It’s really not that he has a capitalist habit. Dongfang’s own experts have said so. What else can Sean do?

He is just a capitalist, what bad intentions can he have?

The shareholding ratio has been discussed, the labor and wage system have been discussed, and what remains is the price of vehicle imports.

"We all agree on the price, 35,000 RMB." Bi Zhengchun looked calm, but glanced at Sean secretly.

"Gift crab?" Sean's face was full of shock, "Are you kidding me? I bought this junk for $11,600. This doesn't include import tariffs, investment costs, labor costs, and profits for the Fourth Son Store. Then wouldn't I?

Do you want to start selling for $15,000?”

“Moroccans are crazy enough to spend $15,000 on something like this?”

"Uh... I'm just kidding, that's the domestic selling price." Bi Zhengchun looked a little embarrassed. 35,000 is the unified domestic selling price.

With a monthly salary of more than 30 yuan, it is strange that the car can be sold for 35,000 yuan.

"Well, our domestic selling prices are generally higher than export prices." Bi Zhengchun added, "There is a tax rebate for exports."

Sean curled his lips, there was no need to say this kind of prevarication to the common people.

During this period, the prices of domestic products were higher than those abroad, and much higher. It was not a tax issue.

In the 1980s, smuggling was rampant in Panyu, Nansha, Wenzhou, Weihai...

From TVs, washing machines, tape recorders to watches and sunglasses, you can make a lot of money by purchasing goods directly from abroad at normal prices and shipping them to the east for wholesale.

Those who want to sell goods can then purchase goods from these places and bring them back to the market to make a fortune. They are still cheaper than similar domestic goods from supply and marketing cooperatives.

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

"You know, I don't know anything about Dongfang, but I actually don't understand why the final product is so expensive when your labor costs are dozens of times lower?" Sean asked curiously.

: “And on the basis of such high profits, why do many factories still lose money?”

"Uh... we are a state-owned enterprise, and we have to bear the wages of retired workers." Bi Zhengchun didn't know how to explain it to Sean, so he spoke very vaguely.

"That's not right. This is at most a doubling of labor costs. You are dozens of times lower than us." Sean shook his head. I know one plus one equals two. You can't lie to me!

"Well, there are also many benefits. Food is very cheap, and medical treatment is reimbursed. Well, yes, that's it." Bi Zhengchun nodded stiffly.

Sean curled his lips. It was not like he didn't know about the medical level and living standards.

Just ask here and you'll be fine. If you ask again, you'll miss the point.

In fact, decades later, it will be the same in many cases. When you go abroad, you cannot avoid the topic of shopping. Well, it is like shopping. Not only luxury goods, many products are also cheaper than at home.

For example, pure original cars are also cheaper abroad. They are much cheaper. The reason is the high import tax, which is to protect car companies...

The market exchanged technology, and the market provided it, but the technology did not develop at all.

If you can make money with protection, why invest large sums of money to improve technology?

There is nothing wrong with having money. Is it wrong to invest in researching technologies that I don’t know if they can be developed?

Can we wait? Why don't we wait for others to study it and use it?

Don't say that using someone else's patent is expensive.

No one's patents were blown by strong winds. They were all researched from scratch by investing a lot of real money. Who has no cost?

Who held your hand and prevented you from studying?

Not to mention that even if a computer system is developed and there is no platform for installation, and there is no supporting software, it is useless to research it.

This kind of difficulty has been mentioned by Zhonglie Manmen long ago. Before Hongmeng was installed, it was only running in the laboratory. Isn’t that money?

(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~

Closer to home, Sean will definitely not do this for 35,000 soft girl coins anyway.

"I need a reasonable price." Sean said expressionlessly.

"30,000?" Bi Zhengqing asked tentatively, saying it doesn't matter whether he makes money or not, but as we all know, Sean is very generous.

Sean looked sideways, too lazy to speak.

"2.8?"

"$3,800, CIF, no matter how high it is, I can't accept it." Sean gave a price, which he calculated after investigation.

And it leaves some profit points for Hafei.

If he was more cruel, he could reduce it to 3,000 US dollars. He was sure that Hafei would also endure it. Earning foreign exchange through exports was better than anything else.

Due to some special reasons, except for some parts that need to be imported, a small number of spare parts are purchased locally, and the rest are all produced by Hafei!

They even have their own power plant, their own hydraulic forging machines, electronic manufacturing, including glass production lines, and they can produce even a screw in-house.

These factories have greatly increased costs due to insufficient operating capacity.

If procurement channels are opened up and market competition is introduced, the cost can be reduced to less than US$2,500 based on current wage levels.

This price was already lower than Hafei's own bottom line. Of course, it was still far from the bottom line set by the Ministry of Industry. Bi Zhengqing did not agree on the spot.

The price was bargained down by more than half when I first came up, so I agreed on the spot and there was something wrong with it.

That's all. Business negotiations, no matter how fast they are, cannot be settled at a cocktail party. Especially the Chinese side needs to listen to everyone's opinions.

By now, the cruise ship had sailed far away. After a period of familiarity and the language barrier, many people gradually became less cautious than they were at first.

Anyway, these women couldn't understand what he was saying.

Sean raised his hand and made a gesture, and a band immediately came out and started playing, relatively soothing piano music. The atmosphere should be heated up slowly. If it gets too hot, these guys will be scared.

"Beauties, move up and entertain our guests." Sean shouted in French.

Immediately, the beauties started to stick to her and dance.

Singing and dancing, beauties kept walking among the crowd bringing glasses of wine.

Cocktails, whiskey, wine, liqueur...

Mixing in, time passes little by little, from being restrained to relaxing, from being sober to being intoxicated, from being serious to relaxing and laughing, from keeping a distance from the slow threesome to the body twisting...

The music matched the lights, the wine matched the beauties, and the atmosphere gradually became turbulent.

Huhuhahahaha!!!

Sean has no plans to go back and will spend the night at sea today.

We must use this to test our cadres!

What evil devil!

The cruise ship was borrowed from the Moroccan royal family. In addition to various entertainment facilities, there are a total of 12 rooms on the upper and lower floors. They were designed to be far apart from each other and had top-notch sound insulation design.

So interesting!

A spring breeze blows across the earth one night, looking for a fairy in the peach blossom garden...

When I woke up again, the boat had already arrived at the shore.

Two days later, news came from Bi Zhengqing that the share ratio was 2:8, the personnel allocation was 70%-30%, the three models were available, the CIF price was US$3,800-4,150, and the Chinese side was responsible for transportation.

Sean will send a lawyer to negotiate with them about the specific details.

In fact, Sean did not hold all of the 80% of the shares. The other investor was the Moroccan Investment Group.

The investment group invested US$2.8 million, and the top eight cities in Morocco provided a total of 14 plots, accounting for a total of 35% of the company's shares.

Sean holds 25% of the shares in the investment group, without spending a penny from beginning to end, and accounts for more than half of the total shares of the new company.

Perfect!

In fact, 14 of them are not worth much, and they are not located in the city center. Sean positioned several cars in rural areas, urban-rural fringes, self-employed households in cities, gangsters...

Ahem, it seems like something weird has gotten in.

However, vans are indeed very suitable for gangs to use. They have a large throughput per unit time and can release their attack power to the maximum extent. In addition, they are cheap and they don’t feel bad if they are detained. The injured can still lie down at critical moments, making it easier to send them to the hospital.

Perfect!

Leaving the construction of the Fourth Son store, publicity and promotion, and advertising shooting tasks to the investment group, Sean turned around and went to Libya again.

The cargo ship delivering aircraft and weapons from the east has arrived. Sean will be present for the first reception.

What makes Sean regretful is that no one robbed him. He was very disappointed.

There were also a large number of Chinese staff accompanying them.

Rocket launchers, recoilless rifles, etc. are all purchased through regular channels as civilian parts.

Professionals are needed to assemble it here, and Sean doesn’t count on Cardano, nor does he count on recruiting people from Libya to assemble it.

He would rather hire Chinese personnel for a short period of time. Not only the wages of Libyans are too high, but the work attitude and assembly accuracy are also worrying.

I'm used to it!

After a short stay of three days and completing the handover task, Sean left everything behind and took off again to return to the United States.

The HR manager that Umbrella needs has finally been found, and Sean wants to go back and have a look!

…

Van Wyk, a former member of the Marine Corps, retired at the age of 38 with the rank of major.

His father is a lawyer, his uncle is a city councilman, and his grandfather once worked in politics. His family is well off. After retiring, he re-entered school and obtained a double bachelor's degree in law and administration from Columbia University.

After graduation, he engaged in administrative management and transferred to human resources management position three years later. He is now 53 years old and has rich management experience.

When Sean meets people, his first impression is very good. His silver hair is meticulously combed, his waist is straight, he wears an ordinary military uniform, he has a gentle smile on his face, and his hands are generous and strong.

Sean didn't ask a single question about management matters, and it was in vain if he asked because he didn't understand.

What Sean cares about is his family, the relationship with family members, the situation of his children, and his political leanings.

Those who have family have reverence...

Ahem, of course, Sean had no intention of threatening him with his family.

Serious company!

"Who do you think the two parties will win in the next term?" Sean was chatting with Van Wyk while shooting target at the Umbrella Military Base in Newark.

"The Elephant Party, our whole family is a firm supporter of the Elephant Party!" Van Wyk said with certainty.

After chatting about the Elephant Party, we also talked about the situation in Southeast Asia, the situation in the Middle East, war, and peace... Overall, Sean was quite satisfied.

The emergence of the head of the Human Resources Department means that the Umbrella reorganization plan can officially begin to be promoted.

However, Sean still has some things to deal with as soon as possible before that.

That is to cut the protective umbrella, and those old and shady people will become independent.
