Chapter 879 The Fruit of the Psychological Master (Third update, please subscribe)
Get up at 6:00 every morning and go to bed at 12:00 at night, working so fulfillingly. There is only half a day off on Sunday each week.
In this way, a month passed.
In fact, Narita Koji only stayed on the assembly line for less than three weeks this month, because the first week was used for training.
Even as someone who once made those American colleagues cry. Narita Koji felt that he had completely turned into a walking zombie - he even forgot about other things. Like other workers, he worked overtime every day - he had to work overtime for four or five hours every night, just to earn such a pitiful amount of money. Overtime pay.
work overtime! work overtime! work overtime!
Working overtime every day!
Of course, this does not mean that there are no other gains. For example, while working, Narita Koji noticed that these clothes had no labels, so he asked the monitor specifically during dinner.
"Label, what kind of label do we need?"
The monitor said directly.
"These clothes will be sent to Nanyang."
"Sent to Nanyang?"
"Yes, they are washed in Nanyang. There is a duty-free zone in Nanyang. When the clothes are sent there, they will be sewn. The "Made in Nanyang" label then becomes "Made in Nanyang" "In fact, we can even sew it on directly. They don't care about it anyway. It’s just a label on the carton.”
That’s it!
Narita Koji finally found the truth he needed to find, the relationship between sweatshops and Nanyang manufacturing.
Finally, after persisting for a few more days, Narita Koji, who wanted to give up several times, persisted until the day when wages were paid.
The accountant handed a wad of money to Narita Koji and said at the same time:
"Kojima Chuji, right? You are a new employee. You worked less overtime days last month, so your salary is It is also less than the old employees, and I was fined for going to the bathroom overtime three times, but it doesn’t matter. If I work more overtime in the future, my salary will be more, and I will be familiar with the rules, so I won’t be fined!”
Narita Koji, a former "overtime maniac", looked at the pile of money in his hand. It was not thick, and it was all in face value of ten yuan. It should be less than 200 Kyushu circulation coupons, about 3,000 yen, less than 8 US dollars.
This is the result of Narita Koji's hard work for several weeks.
“I have endured for so long and only made so much money?”
In an instant, Narita Koji’s inner defense was broken!
The next second, Narita Koji looked at the accountant with a sad and indignant face, and said with a hint of tears:
"It is inhumane for you to do this! This is simply a sweatshop!"< br>
…
Sweatshop!
"'One Dollar Shirts', they are never shirts, but sweat-sweat textiles produced in sweatshops in Asia. They are factory owners in countries and regions such as Kyushu, the Philippines, Malaya and other countries who pay great attention to workers "We must see what is behind those sweatshops when cheap products hit the U.S. market and cause Americans to lose their jobs."
……
Overnight, with the report "Nanyang Hematopoietic Machine - Asian Sweatshop", all Americans knew the secret of Nanyang's rise.
“…using hundreds of millions of people in Asian countries as slave workers, establishing so-called free trade zones, importing Asian sweatshop goods duty-free, and using their favorable position in tariff and trade agreements to export large quantities of cheap products to the United States. products, impacting the American market.”
For this era, Nanyang’s cross-generational strategy is far beyond their imagination. This dimensionality reduction attack on business thinking has directly affected all European and American countries. Dumbfounded. "You can actually do business like this!"
But as a politician, Dulles was also stunned.
"In the past, I only knew that guy was a very good businessman, but now I know that he is simply cunning to the extreme."
Dulles's words are definitely from the heart, as long as they are slightly correct. Those who are familiar with business must know how exquisite his series of operations is.
“Although Kyushu has not joined the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, they have set up free trade zones to import cheap goods manufactured in various places to Nanyang, and then export them under OEM... This cunning guy is taking advantage of Our loopholes."
Eisenhower's tone seemed very complicated, and he didn't even know how to describe his mood at this time.
“Yes, Mr. President, they have taken advantage of us in this matter. Now they can use Japan’s cheap labor to attack the US textile market. In the future, they can also use Indonesia and Siam Luo, Vietnam, and even the entire Southeast Asia will provide them with cheap labor. They will not only have an impact on our textile industry in the future, but will also have an unprecedented impact on other industries.”
Eisenhower's brows frowned more and more as Dulles spoke.
"Does that guy really think they can ignore the rules?"
"Mr. President, the problem is that everything he did was within the rules of the game, they just opened a It's just a tax-free free trade zone, and it doesn't violate the rules of the game. "
The rules of the game... Eisenhower frowned and said while thinking.
“We must not let them take advantage of us by taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules, let alone let their cheap goods destroy our industrial production and take away American job opportunities. We must deal with customs Make further changes to the GATT to protect U.S. interests! ”
At this time, even Eisenhauer had forgotten the lesson Li Yian taught him in Chang'an a few years ago.
Those warnings in the prime of life have long since become Eisenhower's own thoughts inadvertently. Even he himself did not know that this subconsciousness had been planted a few years ago.
"Yes, Mr. President, it is very necessary. We must protect the interests of the United States."
"Dulles, we must prevent this kind of sweatshop products from entering the United States. , they must not be allowed to use products produced under slavery to impact American industry. Under the impact of this kind of sweatshop, no industry in the United States will eventually escape bankruptcy."
Then Eisenhower said.
"Moreover, such oppression will also allow the Russians to see opportunities. What they are best at is taking advantage of those workers."
"So we must do everything we can to stop this. Not just for American industry, It is also for the benefit of the free world. "
Well, if Li Yian just planted a seed in their hearts, now they have to use their imagination freely. When you exert force, you can never imagine what kind of results they will imagine?
What is certain is that when they realize the danger, they will continue to amplify the danger, and in the end they will reach the same destination through different routes.
Eisenhower and Dulles then discussed how to stop this. Slowly, in their hearts, a seed that had been buried for a long time began to take root and grow.
"What is certain is that if we do this, Li will definitely be very unhappy. The reason why he is so interested in Indonesia, including Siam, is largely to take advantage of the local cheap labor. Now we do Preventing him from using these cheap labor forces can be said to fundamentally prevent the Nanyang people from using those countries to set up sweatshops, which will inevitably arouse his strong opposition. "
Dulles's reminder, let Eisenhower say. .
“This is not the most important issue right now. We will never allow anyone to exploit these loopholes to take advantage of the United States. We will also not allow anyone to provide ammunition to the Russians for their own benefit, so no matter No matter how unhappy he is, he must accept it."
When mentioning Russia, Eisenhower asked again.
"To what extent has the Siamese crisis developed now? What is the attitude of the Russians?"
