Rebirth of the Wild Age

It is the usual practice of "Chinese profiteers" to ship Chinese goods to Southeast Asia for OEM and then re-export them to European and American countries.

Because, the certificate of origin can be forged!

Well, it can't be said to be fake. As long as you can afford it, this kind of certificate is definitely very formal, because it is a certificate issued by the official agency of the country.

Unless you accidentally make the fake brand bigger and attract the attention of the bitter masters in the anti-dumping country, basically no one will take care of it. Xifeng’s counterfeit brand in Myanmar is a bit big, so Yang Xin has decided to create a new brand, anyway, just keep changing vests.

This trick of Chinese businessmen will continue until 2019 and reach its peak due to the Sino-US trade war. During the trade war, in order to avoid high tariffs, Chinese foreign trade exporters frantically borrowed Southeast Asian countries and used third-party illegal entrepot trade to maintain profits.

It is a pity that there are too many manufacturers engaged in this way, and the export volume of ASEAN countries has increased sharply in a short period of time. For example, in Vietnam, in the first quarter of 2019 alone, its exports to the United States increased by 40%.

Under the pressure of the United States, Vietnam, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries successively issued statements in the summer of 2019 to severely crack down on illegal entrepot trade.

But, it's one thing to say it, and another to do it. The extent to which severe crackdowns can be achieved is left to chance. After all, this approach can also increase Vietnam's income, and there are a large number of beneficiaries from the government to the private sector.

Xifeng had to do this, the Yankees forced us to go astray.

Take the Jibang canned food in Caiyun Province as an example. Several years before China's accession to the WTO, Jibang canned mushrooms were exported to the United States at more than 1,400 tons per year. As a result, the anti-dumping lawsuit lasted for several years. While paying legal fees and expanding production capacity, it finally lost the case in the first two years. The annual export volume fell to more than 3 tons in an instant, and it had to switch to other canned products.

There are many canned food companies in Caiyun Province, all of which have declined due to the anti-dumping of canned fungi. They either restructured or closed down. The fungus farmers in Caiyun Province were dying. Fortunately, Xifeng stepped up to take over the market. Now many fungi farmers rely on Xifeng's canned food to support them.

If Xifeng does not engage in illegal entrepot trade, canned mushrooms will lose even more every year, because the anti-dumping tax rate has already reached 150%.

What is said to kill American competitors is actually far from being so awesome. The real result is that a lot of American canned food companies died, seven out of ten Chinese canned food companies died, and the surviving Chinese and American companies finally merged. 90% of Chinese mushroom canning factories can only do OEM for large European and American companies, specializing in the production of high-end types of canned food. The remaining 10% of China's independent brands can only capture the low-end and mid-end markets in the United States.

This is an 11-year anti-dumping case and an 11-year market reshuffle. The American fungus canning companies have died, leaving only the Big Three, and the local factories have basically closed down, relying on Chinese factories to help them do the work. In China, the leftovers are king. Only a small number of manufacturers can insist on their own brands, and they can only take the middle and low-end market route.

Manufacturers from China and the U.S. joined forces to destroy the U.S. mushroom canning industry.

So the sufferer is gone, and the anti-dumping case is over. If the anti-dumping continues, the Big Three in the United States will be anti-dumping themselves. The American capitalists are not stupid, they are very smart, how slippery they are to kill people with borrowed knives.

But at the national level, the canned mushroom industry in the United States has disappeared, and there have been a lot of unemployed people in the United States, which by the way has disabled the mushroom growing industry in the United States.

...

Yang Xin was very busy, and Chen Tao was not idle either. She was promoted last year, and now she is the president and coo (director of operations) of Xifeng Group. She is only one level shorter than Yang Xin, and is equivalent to Xifeng's real power number two.

The previous Xifeng coo was a direct descendant promoted by Zheng Xuehong, and now he has absconded abroad and dare not come back. This kid holds Xifeng stock worth more than 3 million yuan, and has an annual salary of 800,000 yuan. He is actually not greedy enough. He used the money to start a company for his brother-in-law, and secretly played fake bidding to eat the price difference.

It's okay to eat a little, but his brother-in-law is also greedy, and actually supplies Xifeng with problematic paper beverage packaging bottles!

Last year, Xifeng had 4 batches of beverages, which were found to have excessive harmful substances. Although he was suppressed by the crazy money-spending public relations, Yang Xin was trembling with anger, and traced it all the way to the coo of Xifeng Group.

Because it involves Zheng Xuehong's No. 1 direct descendant, Yang Xin asked Zheng Xuehong to solve it by himself.

Zheng Xuehong felt that her face was lost, so she directly chose to call the police and let the judiciary intervene in the investigation. That coo got the news and ran away ahead of time, and his shares were also taken back by Xifeng, and now he is living in hiding in which country. But his brother-in-law didn't run away, and the case was under trial, so it was certain that he would go to prison to eat.

In fact, that coo was tricked by his brother-in-law, at best he took advantage of his position to "own" his own company to supply Xifeng. And I don't eat too much, because eating too much will attract attention, and I will earn millions of extra income every year. How could he have thought that his brother-in-law was so talented that he would dare to sell unqualified products!

My brother-in-law is also very aggrieved. Many of Xifeng’s beverages are exempt from inspection. Who knows that they will encounter random inspections in the market? It stands to reason that Xifeng's inspection-free products will not be selected for random inspection, but the official suddenly launched the "Quality Miles" campaign.

Because of this incident, Zheng Xuehong, who was in a semi-retired state, finally retired completely, retaining only the position of the board of directors. Before resigning voluntarily, he also hired a group of retired cadres for discipline inspection with high salaries to supervise the internal corruption of Xifeng Group.

This is how Chen Tao became the president and coo of Xifeng. The first thing she did when she took office was to launch a vigorous anti-corruption campaign. So far, four of Xifeng's cadres at various levels have been handed over to the judiciary, and another 19 have been dealt with internally.

"Thinking of the old lady who loves Tianbo Mansion! Resenting treacherous ministers who became monks, they cut off their hair in Wutai Temple; they don't want to accompany the king in court, so they take off their boa robes and change into cassocks..."

On the stage, the classic Sichuan opera "Wutai Huixiong" was being performed. Zheng Xuehong shook his head and sang along silently while keeping the beat.

This is a large Linhe teahouse in the old city, and it is also an ancient building in the Qing Dynasty, which belongs to the municipal cultural relics protection unit. In the beginning, it was a river temple built by local gentry with funds raised by local gentry due to several years of floods.

During the period of the Republic of China, it was still a large area of ​​ancient buildings, but most of it was demolished later when roads were built and the four old buildings were removed. On the stone wall in the east of the temple, there is an inscription of General Huanzhang, "Return my rivers and mountains". After the reform and opening up, it became a big teahouse, which is a good place to drink tea and watch operas. The plaque on the main entrance is the inscription "The No. 1 Teahouse in Southwest China" written by Mr. Zhao Song.

Now even the Municipal People's Cinema has closed down, let alone traditional teahouses?

It has been deserted and idle for many years, and occasionally some cultural groups come to hold activities, and there is no ghost in the rest of the time, and the city has to continue to allocate financial funds to maintain it.

After Zheng Xuehong fully retired, he contracted this place. The monthly rent is very cheap, as long as 5,000 yuan, but Zheng Xuehong has to take care of this ancient building, which can save the city a fortune.

The big teahouse reopened again, and Zheng Xuehong also invited the Sichuan Opera Troupe to perform, and even invited famous actors from the provincial capital during the festivals.

But the number of customers is pitiful, because this place is too far away, belonging to the edge of the old city, even this old city renovation will not involve this place. Fortunately, the tea money is very cheap, which can attract some old men and old ladies to listen to the opera, otherwise there would be more waiters in the teahouse than customers.

After calculating various costs, Zheng Xuehong's teahouse probably loses about 20,000 yuan a month.

"I said, Old Zheng, are you just playing these all day now?" Song Weiyang said while drinking a bowl of tea, "I never saw you like listening to Sichuan opera before."

Zheng Xuehong said cheerfully, "I'm living a happy life. By the way, I'm still the president of the Sichuan Opera Association of this city, a member of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles with a salary, and I have successfully stepped into the literary and art circle."

Song Weiyang clasped his fists and said, "President Zheng, I'm sorry for your disrespect, I never thought you were still a cultural person."

"Hahahaha," Chen Tao couldn't help laughing, and said with a hearty smile, "The entire Sichuan Opera Association is probably singing in this teahouse. If Big Brother Zheng doesn't spend money, they will have to disband sooner or later."

Zheng Xuehong said: "This is called protecting traditional culture!"

Song Weiyang put down the tea bowl, half-lyed on the bamboo chair and said, "If you really want to protect traditional culture, then don't make trouble here and organize Sichuan Opera to apply for World Heritage. As long as you can apply, let me tell you, you are The great savior of Sichuan opera, walk sideways in the entire Sichuan opera world!"

"Is that a good thing to apply for?" Zheng Xuehong's eyes lit up, he was so worried about being idle, as if he was looking for something interesting to do.

Song Weiyang suggested: "You first get involved in a higher-level Sichuan Opera Association, establish a good relationship with all Sichuan Opera organizations, and then establish a good relationship with relevant departments. Then set up a heritage application fund, invest some money in it, and then Find a symbolic appropriation from the relevant departments, and make the application materials as beautiful as possible. This year, the central government proposed for the first time that it should vigorously carry out the protection of intangible cultural heritage. It is estimated that there must be some action at the local level. So you have no part in applying for cultural heritage in China. , directly take the Sichuan opera to apply for the world intangible cultural heritage. If this matter is done, you will be a cadre of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles."

"World intangible cultural heritage, it's a bit difficult." Zheng Xuehong was a little worried.

Song Weiyang said: "The Kunming District has been successfully applied for World Heritage for several years. Why can't Sichuan Opera be allowed? Especially our face-changing, if you directly lead the troupe to perform abroad, those foreign devils must be scared."

"Hey, it's interesting." Zheng Xuehong said happily.

Zheng Xuehong is rich now, he can cash out hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in minutes, and he gets a lot of dividends every year. But he thought he was a big boss and didn't bother to be a representative, so he wanted to improve his image and taste.

Zheng Xuehong also tried golf, but he was really not interested. He doesn't like to drink red wine, he is not used to Western food, and he is even more confused about collecting cultural art, so he started with Sichuan opera, which he likes more, and made friends with a few local calligraphers and painters by the way.

If you can become a cadre of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, you will definitely have status and face. When you go out, everyone will have to call "Mr. Zheng".

Song Weiyang added: "By the way, it's no fun for you to open a Sichuan opera teahouse here. Every day, there are only a few old men and old ladies to join in. The Kuanzhai Alley in Rongcheng is about to be completed. You must rent a big house in Kuanzhai Alley and run it for a period of time." Can make money."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zheng Xuehong said with a smile.

In fact, Zheng Xuehong was tricked by Song Weiyang this time. Even though Kuanzhai Alley was advertised on CCTV, there were not many tourists at the beginning, and every shop along the street suffered from liver tremors. Fortunately, the rent was very cheap at the beginning, otherwise all businesses would be scared away.

As soon as the play was over, Zheng Xuehong slipped away.

Chen Tao put on her coat and went out, stretched her waist and said, "After the Spring Festival, after the company's work is done, I will go to Hong Kong City to play with me. I was busy for half a year last year, and I didn't have time to go shopping in Hong Kong City. "

"Okay." Song Weiyang smiled.
