Chapter 625 I’ll raise the price first

If you put aside the hatred between the country and the family, then when people mentioned the island country at this time at the beginning of the century, the first thing that came to mind was...

advanced!

As one of the few developed countries in Asia, the island country has a high level of industrialization, leading technology, and its economic level has always been at the leading level in Asia and even the world.

What impressed Chen Li the most was how popular the island country's electrical appliances were in China around the 1980s and 1990s.

Even if Chen Li had never used them at that time, he had heard of Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic and other brands.

In particular, Chen Li's second aunt's family had a Hitachi color TV set. A classmate of Chen Li's second aunt's uncle had some connections and helped to buy it. It is said that it cost several thousand at the time.

The big thousands in that era and the big thousands later were completely different things.

But although that thing is very expensive, to be honest, it is really useful.

If Chen Li hadn't appeared, the color TV originally owned by Chen Li's second aunt would have been used until 2007.

The most important thing is that the color TV has been used for almost twenty years, and there have been almost no problems during this period.

Of course, in fact, there was no problem with the quality of early domestic electrical appliances.

The Changhong TV set owned by Chen Li's family has also been used for more than ten years.

I don’t know why. The functions of those high-tech appliances that came later were more complete than the last, but if they could be used for three to five years without any problems, they would basically make a lot of money.

In short, in the domestic electrical appliance market for a long time, products from island countries have definitely occupied a considerable share.

So at that time, some people even thought that island countries were much more developed than the United States. At that time, many people even liked to come to island countries to study abroad.

But if we put it twenty years later, it will be a different story.

Chen Li knew a study abroad agency, and he heard that at that time, almost only people with little money and ability at home would send their children to study abroad in island countries.

Of course, this so-called lack of money and ability is compared to those people who send their children to study in Europe and the United States.

In fact, how many families can easily send their children to study abroad?

The kind of people who get into the serious exams based on their grades don’t count!

Therefore, in a previous life, when someone crowdfunded their children’s study abroad expenses online, they were directly ridiculed by the crowd.

Especially when the person who has already spent more than one million on his child went to the Internet to find a group of people who couldn't even afford a million to crowdfund, is this inappropriate and causing hatred?

And it is said that the person even gave away his children in high school. This is pure nonsense.

You can send your children out to high school in high school. You told me that you can’t afford the tuition, so why did you send your children out in the first place?

Anyway, Chen Li can't understand this kind of behavior! Just like he can't understand Yamamoto Yu who is showing off the Shinkansen to him at this moment.

Well~ Yamamoto Yu is Sakurako Yasuda’s assistant, and she has been with Sakurako Yasuda before.

Chen Li thought this person looked very friendly before because she looked like a famous actress from the island country.

But at this moment, Yamamoto Yu showed off the so-called Shinkansen to Chen Li with a proud face, which greatly reduced Chen Li's impression of her.

To be honest~ In fact, in 2001, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Yamamoto Yuu's showing off.

After all, at this time, the domestic high-speed railway has just started, but the Shinkansen in the island country is already the world's top rapid transportation method.

So where is the problem? Of course it is Chen Li, the reborn person.

As someone who has experienced the era of China's high-speed rail, I feel very awkward listening to Yamamoto Yu's boastful tone.

What makes Chen Li most uncomfortable is that he still has no way to refute. After all, domestic railway transportation at this time cannot be compared with the Shinkansen.

So Chen Li turned his head, looked at Yasuda Sakurako sitting on his right and said:

"By the way~Mrs. Yasuda, there is something I forgot to tell you before."

"Because mad cow disease is currently rampant in European and American markets, the price of ideal cattle may rise to a certain extent in the short term."

"The price increase is probably around 10%!"

As soon as Chen Li said this, Sakurako Yasuda had no reaction, but Wu Minyi, who was sitting on the left side of Chen Li, turned her head and looked at Chen Li in surprise.

Obviously, this price increase was not part of the previous plan.

"Boss~!"

Wu Minyi wanted to say something, but when she saw the dissatisfaction in Chen Li's eyes, she turned her head and closed her mouth.

Obviously ~ my boss is not happy!

As for the reason, Wu Minyi really doesn’t understand it.

As a Hong Kong native, she actually didn't hear the showoff in Yamamoto Yu's words at all.

After all, Hong Kong Island is the financial center of Asia, and the people of Hong Kong are definitely among the best in Asia in terms of self-confidence.

She simply understands that when her boss is unhappy, it is best not to confront him.

Especially when your boss is still a young man, it doesn't seem strange that the boss's mood is abnormal.

Anyway, when she decided to join in, she had already made some preparations.

Young bosses are very difficult to deal with!

But no matter what, Wu Minyi reacted immediately and decided to stand on the same side as her boss.

Anyway, the shares in her hands are not ideal agricultural products, so the boss can do whatever he wants?

At worst, it will break up and the business will not be done this time!

Yes, Chen Li's temporary proposal to increase prices is basically a plan to give up cooperation in normal business behavior.

Unless Chen Li is confident that he can completely control the other party, no normal person would agree to such a malicious price increase.

And to be honest, Chen Li's behavior at the moment seems to be a bit angry because of his own lack of confidence.

But, let alone any talk of self-confidence or lack of confidence, Chen Li just couldn't bear to see anyone from the island country showing off in front of him.

If you are a Chinese, no matter what kind of superiority the other party shows in front of Chen Li, Chen Li will only think that the other party is a fool and just ignore him.

But if you were an islander showing off in front of Chen Li, Chen Li wouldn't be able to bear it!

Anyway, the market of the island country was not within the scope of Chen Li's planning from the beginning. Since it is not in the plan, there is not much difference between having it and not having it.

Of course, if we insist on talking about it, before the island country targets Ideal cattle, Ideal agricultural products can definitely make a lot of money.

But in the eyes of Chen Li today, that little profit is really nothing.

So~ Chen Li’s behavior at the moment is entirely based on his mood. As for business principles, what are they?

At this moment~ Yasuda Sakurako opposite had also reacted, but what was more surprising was that she did not express any opinion on the price increase that Chen Li had just proposed. Instead, her face became solemn and then she turned her head to look at Yamamoto Yuu and said

"You~ apologize to Chen Sang."

"Uh~huh?"

At this moment, Yamamoto Yuu has not yet escaped from the show off environment. It was as if she, who was originally happy, was suddenly hit on the head with a big stick for no apparent reason, and then her head was short-circuited.

She really didn't understand. Weren't we talking about the Shinkansen before?

Why did the young president across from me suddenly mention the price increase, and then why did he have to apologize himself?

In fact, as Sakurako Yasuda's assistant, it was naturally impossible for Yu Yamamoto not to understand the connection. It was just that things developed too fast and she did not react in time.

But even though Yamamoto Yuu didn't react, she still stood up immediately and wanted to apologize to Chen Li. But...

"Hiss~!"

"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble~"

Although Yamamoto Yu apologized, the entire apology seemed a bit hectic.

Mainly because Yamamoto Yuu had been sitting in the business seat before, and because when she introduced the Shinkansen before, she even opened the convenient small desk in the business seat and her own laptop.

But Chen Li suddenly "turned against", Sakurako Yasuda suddenly asked her to apologize, and Yu Yamamoto subconsciously stood up.

Then there was a violent collision between Yamamoto Yu's body and the small desk, and the laptop on the desk also rolled down.

But even so~Yamamoto Yuya quickly stood up, folded his hands, tightened his abdomen, and bowed at 90 degrees!

There is no way~ The relationship between superiors and subordinates in the island country is very clear. It is almost impossible for subordinates to disobey the orders of their superiors, not to mention that Sakurako Yasuda is still the boss.

So~ even though he hadn't reacted yet, Yamamoto Yuu apologized to Chen Li immediately even though he hurt himself.

As for right and wrong, don’t talk nonsense. The relationship between superiors and subordinates in the island country is not about right and wrong. Do you really think that the lifelong employment system in the island country is that good?

That's right~ Speaking of this so-called lifetime employment system, it was actually just a means for island countries to develop their national economy after the war.

However, there are always a large group of people in China who highly praise this thing, as if they don't have to work anymore after getting this lifetime employment system.

In fact, as long as you go to the island country and inquire about it, you will understand that not only the companies in the island country don't like this so-called lifetime employment system, but even the employees don't like it.

Therefore, the island country passed the law on the dispatch system in the 1990s. Since then, the dispatch system and the tenure system have coexisted in the workplace of the island country.

The so-called dispatch system is labor dispatch. Everyone should be familiar with this thing.

So in fact, many of the current jobs in island countries are not lifetime employment at all, but a coexistence of lifetime employment and labor dispatch.

To put it bluntly, very few islanders can get lifetime employment contracts, let alone immigrants.

Chen Li couldn't help but think that some people were bragging so hard, as if they could get a lifetime employment contract by just looking for a job in an island country.

Even if you get a so-called lifetime employment contract, it only means that the company cannot fire employees for improper reasons.

But in fact, if the company really wants to fire you, it will be fine if you find a valid reason.

Otherwise, how could the ladies in the movies Chen Li had watched before be fooled?

Just like Yamamoto Yuu~ what she got was actually the so-called lifetime employment, but with a word from Sakurako Yasuda, Yamamoto Yuu, who was already considered a first-level manager in the company, immediately stood up and bowed without asking.

So, don’t think that foreign countries are paradise!

There are many things that exist in China as well as abroad!

This thing is just like domestic labor laws. In his previous life, Chen Li thought for a long time that there were similar labor laws abroad to protect the interests of migrant workers.

Especially things like dismissal compensation, Chen Li has always felt that foreign countries may do very well in this regard.

This is mainly because some people in China promoted it this way at the time!

But when news came that the world's richest man at the time acquired a well-known overseas social software platform and laid off a lot of people at once, Chen Li realized that something was wrong.

At this time, Chen Li went to the Internet to check, and then he discovered that the bosses in those foreign blockbusters on TV always shouted to their employees that I am going to fire you. Is this true?

Moreover, the world's richest man was so ruthless that even a pregnant woman was fired immediately after being told to quit.

It seems that the treatment of overseas migrant workers in Qianqing is not as good as those people say!

Compared with foreign countries, domestic laws actually provide more complete protection for migrant workers. It’s just that the people’s legal awareness is not widespread enough.

In the minds of many people, being fired by the company means they are fired, and they have never thought about using legal weapons to protect themselves.

However, with the improvement of national cultural level, people's legal awareness is also gradually increasing.

Before Chen Li was reborn, many companies no longer dared to mess around like in the past.

This can be regarded as the progress of the times, and it is also the progress of China!

Of course ~ this takes a certain amount of time and process.

At this moment, Yamamoto Yu~ before Chen Li replied, she kept bowing like that, as if waiting for Chen Li to accept her apology.

Although okay~ In fact, she now realized why she was asked to apologize.

The series of changes just now were very rapid, but they are not without traces.

The root cause is mainly because when she was showing off the Shinkansen before, she casually mentioned the railway transportation situation in China.

It was obvious that these words had stimulated the young president. To be more precise, they might have hurt the other person's self-esteem.

Although Yamamoto Yuu didn't take this seriously, she had no objection to the apology itself.

Whether she hurt the other person's self-esteem or Sakurako Yasuda ordered her to apologize, she had no resistance to the apology itself.

However, not all apologies will be accepted, and not all apologies will be reciprocated.

Anyway, Yamamoto Yu kept bowing like this for at least a minute.

But Chen Li over there was already looking at the scenery outside the car window!
