"Um...I already know the situation in your district, but..." Chen Xi scratched his head. He still didn't understand why Ma Jiu told him this.
He is just a small person and cannot solve the future destiny of the entire district for the other party.
"If companies in our district want to relocate, where do you think they will choose?" Seeing Chen Xi's confused look, he sighed and continued to ask.
"Of course the first choice is the beautiful country, and then the cherry blossom country." Chen Xi said the answer without thinking.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the relationship between the beautiful country and them. Due to historical reasons, there are still many people here who like cherry blossom culture in the cherry blossom country.
In addition, both countries have ulterior motives. If these high-tech companies move their companies there, they will directly make their own countries' economies and technologies soar rapidly.
"Yes, as far as I know, the prices offered by both sides are acceptable. Before I took office, some of the businessmen had already moved their companies to Sakura Country. Under the criticism of the media and public opinion, As well as the pressure from our government, they have now given up moving their companies to Sakura. Flower Country. But there are many factions within us, and some people are very close to the West. Under the guidance of others, this group of people now has the idea of going to the beautiful country to develop..."
"Yes." After hearing this, Chen Xi didn't know what to say, so he could only respond.
"I have read all your information, and Yue Ling also talked to me about your situation last night. The reason why I said these things is to use the Returned Association to prevent these people from relocating."
"Huh?" What Ma Jiu said made Chen Xi even more confused.
"Your association has just developed, but it has many members and branches all over the world. Now I'm here to talk to you about political matters..." He Ma Jiu took out a cigarette and handed one to Chen Xi, who quickly Get up and light a fire for him.
Outside the study.
Ma Zhongyuan was lying on the door and eavesdropping. The bodyguard at the door stood there with a dark face and did not stop him. It seemed like she didn't do this just once or twice.
"Why did we chat for so long? What do they have to say? We didn't chat as long as they did last night." Ma Zhongyuan listened for a while, then turned around and looked at Zhao Lingshan, and then thought for a moment, Then he took her hand and went to play in the garden.
"What does it feel like to be in love? I have never been in love. When I was in school, everyone around me had boyfriends, but my dad sent a bunch of bodyguards to watch me every day. When those boys saw me I just ran away, so I haven’t had much interaction with the opposite sex now..." Ma Zhongyuan sat on the lawn, a small flower spinning in her hands.
"This... sweet feeling." Zhao Lingshan didn't know how to answer. She could only describe the feeling of being with Chen Xi.
“Why are the romance movies on TV not like this? Those men and women cry so heartbrokenly!”
“Then you have to find the right person. In any relationship, There will be some conflicts, such as living habits, three views, hobbies, etc. When problems arise, you either have to give in. , Tolerate it, or just sit down and talk quietly..."
"So what does Chen Xi think of you? Have you ever had conflicts?"
"Of course you did when you were growing up. He hasn’t shown up yet. I’ve been made to cry by him several times before, hahaha.”
Zhao Lingshan couldn't help laughing when she recalled the past.
"Hey, I really envy you. You can do whatever you want. I am like a canary all day long, with a lot of people following me every day, and I have no freedom at all." Ma Zhongyuan sighed, In fact, she really yearns for ordinary people's life.
The eldest sister is a more serious person, she has a different personality at all, and she has been studying in a beautiful country for many years. The two had been separated for so long, and there was no one to play with her. Ma Zhongyuan could only find something to do to pass the time.
As for those classmates and friends, some kept her at a distance, while others wanted to make friends with her but encountered many restrictions.
For example, if everyone goes out to have a meal together, bodyguards will follow you for such a trivial matter, and they will check it at all levels, making people around you very reluctant to let go.
As time went by, Ma Zhongyuan had fewer and fewer friends. However, she got used to it later on, so she spent her boring days alone. As for the love scenes that only appeared in TV dramas, they were scenes that she had always longed for. After all, Ma Zhongyuan was just a girl who had not yet graduated.
"Don't be so pessimistic. People of your status don't have to worry about material life at all. This is something that many people can't envy." Zhao Lingshan comforted her.
“It’s better to be an ordinary person. I feel that life is too boring. Shanshan, come here to play with me more often when you have time. Oh my, I miss my study abroad life in Tu’ao so much. The students here are so different from each other. It's nothing different over there..." Ma Zhongyuan stretched out and stared at the sky.
"No problem." Zhao Lingshan stepped forward and patted her shoulder.
Girls from families like Ma Zhongyuan have been strictly supervised by their parents since childhood, and every step they take is planned in advance. In other words, she cannot choose what major to study, what to do in daily life, and who to marry. This life requires a sense of expectation. Without expectations, it will feel boring.
When it was almost noon, Chen Xi walked out of the study.
"Where is my dad? Why did you chat for so long? What did you say?" Ma Zhongyuan tilted her head and looked at him.
"Your dad is gone, just chatting..." Chen Xi shrugged without much explanation.
Ma Jiu deserves to be the leader of this district, and he discovered the political nature of the Returned Association at a glance.
This is something that many businessmen have not noticed.
In its previous life, the Overseas Returnees Association participated in more than 100 billion projects every year, which is an astonishing number. For this association, the original idea was to make him the right-hand man of the Overseas Chinese Federation, because the energy is too great. In the end, it was forcibly disbanded because it went astray and was out of control.
The Overseas Returnees Association itself can not only attract a lot of foreign investment and scientific research talents to the country, but can also play a supporting role in diplomacy. It is simply a super killer weapon.
Because there are a lot of people studying abroad in our country every year, this base is quite scary, and people with discernment will try their best to make friends with them.
"Huh, don't tell me if you don't tell me. Why do you keep everything secret like my dad?" Ma Zhongyuan got angry. She got angry very quickly. After a while, she followed him again. Chen Xi chatted with a smile.
"Shanshan said that she has never dated anyone else before. She and you are childhood sweethearts. How many girlfriends have you had?" Ma Zhongyuan asked while sitting on the sofa and eating fruit.
"Ahem~" Chen Xi choked while eating the apple, thinking that this girl actually asked these questions in front of Zhao Lingshan, she was so unobtrusive.
"Okay, he was injured yesterday. He needs to rest now, so don't torment him."
"Oh, I feel bad. You two have a really good relationship." See you. Zhao Lingshan helped Chen Xi speak, while Ma Zhongyuan covered his mouth and laughed fiercely.
"I have to go out to discuss business later." Chen Xi looked at the time and said.
“You’re still talking about business? Your appearance will leave a bad impression on others.” Zhao Lingshan pointed to the gauze on his body.
"It's winter now, just wear more clothes." Chen Xi waved his hand, he didn't want to stay here any longer.
"But...that guy yesterday..." Zhao Lingshan couldn't help but worry when she thought of Jack.
What if this person leads someone to chase and intercept him again?
"Don't worry about this, I'll just go with you. If anyone dares to mess around, I'll have him beaten..." Ma Zhongyuan made a shooting motion with his hand.
The eyes of the man in a suit next to him under his sunglasses rolled up.
In the afternoon, No. 88, Section 6, Zhongshan North Road. "Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Chen Xi from mainland China"
"Hello, you are...where did we meet..."
So much time has passed, and the boss in front of him obviously no longer remembers Chen Xi.
“I saw it at an exhibition.”
"Oh, are you our customer?"
"Um... you will be there soon."
"Are you here to buy equipment? Okay, okay, let me take you to visit us first JMM Company." Wang Defa made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Xi was also very cooperative and let him lead the way.
“We used to sell equipment in mainland China, but the brand name was another. By the way, why did you think of coming here to buy equipment? There seem to be several machine tool brands in mainland China.” Wang Defa asked as he walked. road.
There are many people coming here to buy equipment, but there are almost no mainlanders. Because of logistics, fees and procedures, their equipment is exported to other places.
Most of the mainlanders who come here want to cooperate with them.
“I haven’t seen any good brands, but I heard that your service is very good, especially in terms of software. The software for mainland equipment is all customized from you, so I will definitely choose your product.” Chen Xi I praised Wang Defa's company again.
“That’s right, that’s right. Our service is the best. Mainlanders always don’t pay attention to service. You know, the equipment will be maintained later. If you buy our products, you don’t have to worry about after-sales issues. "Wang Defa was very happy at this time, and his tail was about to rise to the sky.
"By the way, there are many people in mainland China who like to imitate. You must be careful not to buy fake and shoddy products with our brand on them. Then the after-sales service is not guaranteed..." Wang Defa suddenly thought of something important. He immediately reminded Chen Xi of what he needed to pay attention to.
Because the price of buying genuine equipment here will definitely be high. If Chen Xi wants to buy equipment again after returning, if imitations appear on the market, it will be a common loss for both parties.
"I understand, I understand." Chen Xi nodded with a smile.
This Mr. Wang just doesn’t want him to buy equipment elsewhere.
Wang Defa's company management is completely different from their factories in mainland China. The employees here seem to be more energetic and their uniforms are neatly dressed.
It seems that in terms of management, JMM is much more caring than Huade.
"We employ foreign employees for management, and our products are sold all over the world. I don't know which models of equipment you want to buy. By the way, what industry are you in?"
"We are an advertising company."< br>
“Oh, let’s buy some advertising machines.” Wang Defa’s mood dropped to the bottom when he heard this.
General announcement companies only purchase equipment for a few million to more than 10 million. This may seem like a large amount, but it is a one-time consumption. At most, you can earn some after-sales money, which is not a big sum. one. Wang Defa originally thought that Chen Xi came from a certain processing factory. You must know that those large factories purchase a large number of machines, and the equipment is expensive. The total amount is estimated to be hundreds of millions.
And the cost of later maintenance is very high, so you can make money continuously.
"We run a chain of graphic stores."
Chen Xi, who could see through the other person's mood at a glance, continued to add.
“Oh? How many are there?”
“There are many, many. Currently, there are basically every province, and basically all second-tier cities are covered. There are several picture and text stores in each city. ." Chen Xi did not give a specific number, but gave the other party room for speculation.
"Wow, Mr. Chen, then I want to introduce to you our excellent products and the new products that have just been born!" At this time, Wang Defa looked at him as if he were looking at the God of Wealth. Made a gesture of invitation.
That posture should be as low as possible.
"New product? Then I have to take a good look." Chen Xi touched his chin and looked very interested.
Wang Defa enthusiastically introduced the advertising machines here to him. Compared with Huade's, there is indeed a gap. JMM's products are at most similar to the Sakura series.
No, it should be said that it is the same as Huade's early independent research and development, which was made by imitating Sakura series equipment.
The price is definitely cheaper than the German ones, and the main sales area is Asia.
As for what Wang Defa just boasted about being distributed all over the world, it was just a few small orders sold to several countries in Europe and the United States.
However, JMM's equipment once ranked first on the sales list in mainland China.
When they first entered the mainland market, they launched a big promotion, and Huade only took second place that year.
When Huade reacted in the second year, JMM was directly promoted to second place, and then he kept wandering between fourth and second place.
Then Chen Yifeng created multiple brands to suppress the other party, and Xinde was born at that time.
With the title of HK brand, it is still very competitive to compete with bending area machine tools.
After all, at that time, HK and here were both known as the Four Asian Tigers.
"I see that other equipment companies have started to produce 3D printers. Why are you still making cutting plotters and engraving machines?" Chen Xi looked around. They have everything here. Where can I find it? What's new?
Wang Defa is probably not trying to fool him.
“The current technology of 3D printers is not yet mature, and the places where they can be used are limited. We have tried to develop a few before, but there is a big gap with Europe and the United States. The bending area is currently not used at all. Without these things, the research and development funds are too high, so... I'd better show you the new products." Wang Defa blushed and explained to Chen Xi, and then took him to another place.
In a workshop, Wang Defa lifted up two tarpaulins, revealing two pieces of equipment underneath.
“This is our newly developed equipment. Although the appearance is similar, the effect is definitely different. We have been researching it for several years and spent countless energy and money...”
Chen Xi recalled how he tricked Wang Defa into researching new products at the exhibition.
Those were all made up by him to deceive people...
I didn’t expect that this guy actually developed it!
Chen Xi suddenly felt like he was reading a Jin Yong novel. This Wang Defa was simply a replica of Ouyang Feng, and he actually practiced the fake Nine Yin Scriptures. (End of this chapter)
