Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 1505 Don’t want to repeat the same mistakes
Early the next morning, Bao Zixuan left New York. He wanted to inspect various branches in the United States. I finally came here, so I couldn’t waste my time. And there is another worry, that is, as the identity changes, the number of visits to the United States will become less and less in the future. I am worried that if the Americans do not follow martial ethics and detain themselves, there will be no place to reason.
They had done this kind of thing many times in history, and Bao Shaofu was also worried that it would happen to him. It is very important to prevent problems before they happen. No one wants to be a prisoner.
In his previous life, he published an economic book "The American Trap" that caused an uproar in international public opinion. The author of this book disclosed the inside story of the US government's crackdown on corporate competitors based on his own personal experience. It reveals how the United States directly or indirectly provides a "protective umbrella" for the foreign expansion of American companies through public power and national power.
It also provides an in-depth analysis of the story behind the insidious means used by the United States to suppress the French company Alstom.
General Electric Company of the United States finally acquired Alstom's power equipment for US$17 billion; it obtained its core technology and completed the acquisition and merger of Alstom's power business.
For Alstom, a French business giant with a history of nearly a century and spanning the global power energy and rail transportation industries, it finally fell under the "dismemberment" of the Americans. Alstom has long lost its former glory.
The French company Alstom can be said to be the pride of French enterprises, with a long history, and its establishment dates back to the 1950s. With continuous development and growth, it has become a leader in the fields of global rail transportation, power equipment and power transmission infrastructure. It had a glorious history before it was hit by the United States and collapsed.
Alstom operates in more than 70 countries and regions around the world, with nearly 100,000 employees; its total orders almost every year are around 20 billion euros.
This is a real business giant and a multinational enterprise with powerful power. But as the saying goes, "What is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Its popularity eventually led to the United States deliberately sanctioning and destroying it.
In the eyes of Americans, Alstom's momentum is too strong. Although the American General Electric Company continues to develop, it has always been stabilized by Alstom. In the competition for orders, General Electric once lost to Alstom.
Pierucci, the United States, bribed Indonesian members of Congress and National Power Company officials to successfully bid for the power station project in the Talahan area of Sumatra Island and the Phase 5 Tamsui River Estuary Power Station project near Jakarta. The lawsuit was filed on the grounds of violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and a huge fine of US$772 million was issued to Alstom.
If you ask me, this is nonsense. Even if someone bribes you, it is not a bribe to your country's officials. Isn’t it true that the United States is so arrogant about “dogs taking advantage of mice” and meddling in other people’s own affairs?
But the United States has a piece of legislation called the "Foreign Corruption Act" with "overlord clauses". As long as your individual or company has any relationship with the United States, it will be under my control. It is not difficult to see that the Americans' arrangement has been planned for a long time.
Pierucci, who was captured, was very depressed at this time. You said that I came to the United States happily for a business trip, and I could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the United States along the way. Now, okay, I was arrested and accused of bribery. Forget it; I was also charged with conspiracy to launder money. If the lawsuit is established, I will face a minimum sentence of 125 years. They also continued to use various interrogation methods to get me to admit my crimes.
During the period when Pierucci was arrested, the Americans were naturally not idle. They were not naive enough to think that arresting Pierucci would make Alstom obey.
So during this period, the same charges were used to arrest four Alstom executives, including Lawrence Hawkins, Alstom's vice president of Asia. Not only that. The United States also paid commercial spies to infiltrate Alstom and collect Alstom's trade secrets.
Americans do things like this all the time. If he were really charged with something that was unreasonable, it would be too late to cry. Fortunately, Heiyun Group operates in a more disciplined manner, so they are not worried about being accused of paying bribes in U.S. dollars. But if you really want to cause trouble for you, you will definitely find it; it is better to be careful and keep a low profile.
While Americans still have no ideas, take a look at various branches in the United States; it is estimated that such opportunities will only become less and less in the future.
New York and Boston are very close. As the headquarters of Heiyun Computer Company, Bao Zixuan certainly wants to come and take a look.
Yokoi Gunpei was very emotional when he saw his boss coming. As he studied at MIT for the past two years, he had personal experience; Bao Zixuan's status at MIT and his achievements were unimaginable to others.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "General Manager Yokoi, you should get used to being in the United States! Have your family made arrangements?"
Heiyun Computer Company is one of the key enterprises of the group, so Bao Zixuan does not want to use all Americans. It's not that I don't believe it, just in case. Now there is a Japanese person coming to control, I believe it can play a good balancing role.
Moreover, Bao Shoufang fully believed in the abilities of the middle-aged man in front of him. His background in the hardware field was one aspect; the most important thing was his unyielding character, which was very worthy of recognition.
When I came up, I didn’t ask about work, but about myself and my family. It’s really hard to find such a boss!
Yokoi Gunpei said with a smile: "It's very good here. At least the climate is much better than that of Japan and Hong Kong. Moreover, my children also came to the United States to study and can receive a good education. My wife takes care of our family's life at home, which can be said to be very good." satisfy."
Heiyun Group gives each executive a full-time wife and a salary of US$3,000. This is the only one in the world, so the wives have a very high recognition of the company.
As for taking care of my family and husband, there is no problem.
Hearing this, Bao Zixuan felt relieved; with his family in peace, the man could devote himself to his work.
Yokoi Gunpei continued: "Currently, our notebook computer sales are relatively stable, but the mainframe computer sales are not as ideal as expected."
"IBM's price reduction is one aspect. The most important thing is that they used many shameful means. Should we try it?"
Hearing this, Bao Zixuan was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. I was still thinking about this issue just now, but I didn’t expect that it would actually happen to my company now.
If someone gets caught with this, it is estimated that Americans will laugh out loud and will never let go of this opportunity.
Bao Zixuan said very firmly: "I would rather not do business than do this kind of thing. Especially in the United States, we will definitely be the ones who suffer in the end. What IBM does is their business, and Heiyun Group will never allow this kind of thing to happen. .”
"And I already have countermeasures for large computers, and I am preparing to build a global data center in Fucairah; I will definitely not worry about orders when the time comes, so don't be anxious."
"If you often walk along the river, your shoes won't get wet. If the Americans get caught, the losses to the group will be huge, even beyond your imagination."
Yokoi Gunpei has never seen this young boss with such a determined attitude. After working in Heiyun Group for so long, I still have a certain look in my eyes. It means that something must never be done and must be taken as a warning in the future; it cannot even be mentioned!
After that, Bao Zixuan met some old friends again, and even personally sent some gifts to teachers at MIT who had helped him. This is certainly not considered bribery, it is just a normal interaction between teachers and students.
On the way back to New York, Bao Zixuan said to John Chambers: "General Manager Chambers, in the future, Heiyun Group American Company must be open and aboveboard when competing for any project. Never make any deals in private. This is It’s a matter of principle and for everyone’s safety.”
"If the government wants to deal with us, it can find any reason. Don't let anyone take advantage of it, otherwise the entire group will be very passive. If the business can be negotiated, then let's do it. Let us do it well. If we do it, we will do it well." Don’t be jealous when giving orders or projects to others.”
Although I don’t know why the boss suddenly said these things, judging from the name and expression, I have found that something is unusual. At the same time, he also understood that although his boss was not in the United States, he had much wider access to information than he did. It is better to act according to the order. After all, he is a senior executive of Heiyun Group and receives Bao Zixuan's salary.
In fact, Mr. Bao also hopes that the worry is unnecessary, but this assumption may not be true. There have been too many similar incidents in history, and he doesn't want the Black Cloud Group to appear on the list.
