"Well, this is also a good thing. Without official supervision, the association will be disbanded sooner or later." Chen Xi thought of the situation in his previous life.
"My father wants me to stay in Tu'ao, what about you?" After sitting down in a restaurant, Shen Xinyi looked at Chen Xi.
"Ha, my man has the same idea, but he has different ideas from your father. He doesn't want me to go back and disturb the good life of him and his new wife." Chen Xi laughed.
“You haven’t said what you think yet!”
“Me? I want to go back.”
Shen Xinyi asked him this question more than once in his previous life, and Chen Xi still gave the same answer in this life.
“Oh, recently a large group from Tu’ao and Macao proposed cooperation with us.”
“What kind of cooperation?”
“They feel that the government is now cracking down on Asians buying loans. If you want to build a house on land, the financial problem will definitely be stressful. The construction workers in Tu'ao are inefficient, and they are clamoring for wage increases from time to time. Why don't they pay for it and we contribute..."
"Haha, there are businessmen in every country who work against the government. This is a good idea... ..." Chen Xi laughed happily and then nodded.
"My uncle thinks we can cooperate, what do you think?"
"Yes, my other businesses have been affected now, and I am thinking about how to contact the powerful local consortium in Tu'ao. But we must also pay attention Point, these capitalists are not good birds. We must always be vigilant. Once we are no longer of use, they will kick us away ruthlessly to make them unable to live without us."
"How to make them. Can't live without us? "
"Try to show our Chinese efficiency! Of course, the salary cannot be less. Tu'ao calculates it by the hour. Their calculation is nothing more than reducing costs. They must work hard for workers' wages. We want them to increase workers' hourly wages and reduce their overall costs, so that both parties can continue to cooperate..."
"Well, that makes sense, you are really smart."
"Hehe, I need to have a good relationship with the Tu'ao consortium..." Chen Xi touched his chin and began to plan how to unite these consortiums and make everyone rich together.
"The work efficiency of Chinese workers is very high, but there is a problem..."
"What problem?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows.
“That is, these people have a lot of construction skills, such as laying bricks and laying tiles, and they are more efficient than local workers. However, although the amount of our projects is getting larger and larger, the houses we build are also getting bigger and bigger. The more complicated it becomes, the more the shortcomings of these people will be exposed. No, and I don’t like to use modern tools.
At present, some technology companies have produced efficient construction equipment and even automatic bricklaying trucks to replace low-level work. I think these Chinese workers will have to do it sooner or later. Be eliminated.
This is just like when we were in high school. Chinese students have better computing power than Guilao when calculators are not conducive to them. But if everyone uses calculators, they will be inferior to each other. In the past, brooms were used to sweep the streets, but now the cleaners have long used automated cleaning machines. I don’t think it will take long for the engineering aspect..." Shen Xinyi said what she was worried about.
Although The brick-laying machines she mentioned are not yet popular, and their effects are not good, but large-scale equipment such as cranes. None of the Chinese workers who came to Tu'ao knew how to use it. Even if they did in China before, some of them didn't know English and couldn't verify it. So now, building apartments still requires the participation of ghost workers. < br>
“Well, the threshold for recruitment can be raised in the future, but then again, this is not a bad thing. If you make those ghost guys have no food to eat, they will definitely go to the official to file a complaint. Then we will be the ones who suffer. Now that workers are in power, it is definitely necessary to protect the rights and interests of local workers, otherwise no one will support them in the next term. "Chen Xi hesitated and then said.
"You have really changed your mind now. In the past, you only wanted Chinese people to eat, but now you want ghost guys to sit at the same table with us. It’s time to eat, haha. "Shen Xinyi couldn't help laughing.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Think about it, if this kind of thing happened in China. Just like a foreigner who goes to work in a city and has better benefits than the locals, the locals will definitely make trouble too. Taxis know that generally when local taxi drivers find out that foreign drivers are crossing the local border to pick up passengers, they will use some extreme methods to punish competitors, and even ram each other's cars. Even if the person being punished complains of injustice, he or she will be considered as stealing someone else's job and deserves to be punished. This is the industry rule. We currently have no ability to break this rule, so we can only abide by it silently. ”
"Giggle."
"By the way, where is that guy Li Xin? Why haven't you seen him this semester?" Chen Xi suddenly remembered that the man with facial paralysis was here.
"He went back during the Chinese New Year. I heard that his family had a cooperation with a large real estate developer. His father asked him to work in the family company after graduation. He should also go back to school this time, but I rarely Talking to him is what my parents said..." Shen Xinyi tried her best to distance herself from the relationship with Li Xin.
"How is your home project in China? Buildings are being built everywhere now, so you should be making a lot of money."
"Giggle, let me show you." Shen Xinyi laughed after hearing this She looked gorgeous and immediately started her performance. She made a phone gesture with her hand, imitating a man's voice and said: "We are a large Chinese enterprise. If you work with us, you will definitely make more money than those small developers." More, just keep your mind at ease!”
Then she imitated another person's voice and said: "What about funds? Is there an advance payment?"
A: "Of course I need you to advance the funds first!"
B: "Well, it's all advance payment now, which is normal."
A: "You still need to pay a deposit. It's not much money, just one million."
B : "Okay."
A: "I'll give you a few points for the intermediary fee. Let me know."
B: "Why do you need the intermediary fee?"
A: "Aren't you talking nonsense? You won't pay for the intermediary." Fei, why should I do this job for you? Who am I to do this for?"
B: "Okay... what about emergencies?"
A: "None of the things you said will happen, as long as the progress is made. Just be quick!”
After Shen Xinyi finished speaking, she picked up the spice boxes on the table and stacked them together, which meant that the project was over.
B: "Boss, when will the project payment be settled?"
A: "We are still going through the process, why are we in a hurry."
B: One month later , "Boss, are you okay?"
A: "It's almost, it's almost, we just need the leader's signature."
B: Another month... "Boss, are you okay?"
A: "Oh, the finance department is on leave. Please wait until next month to come back..."
One month later ...
B: "Boss, can you get the money this time?"
A: "We don't have any money in our account, let's wait until the end of the year."
At the end of the year...
B: “Boss, I must get the project payment this time.”
A: “What a rush! Do you still want to take on the next project? No, as long as I say a word, no one will dare to give you projects in the future..."
After the year...
B: "TMD, if you don't pay me, I will sue you!"< br>
A: "You go ahead and sue, and I'll give you whatever the court decides!" "Hahaha!" After hearing this, Chen Xi held his stomach and laughed.
This was the first time he saw Shen Xinyi being so humorous.
"Hey, if the people who do the projects can't get money, the workers under them will naturally be unlucky as well. They won't go to Party A, they will only go to the foreman..." Shen Xinyi spread her hands.
Chen Xi also nodded when he heard this. The "Regulations on Guaranteeing the Payment of Wages to Migrant Workers" have not yet been promulgated. This means that the bank currently does not have a special account to pay the money. As long as the foreman cannot get the money, the workers' wages will not be paid. There is no guarantee.
"A large construction group like yours shouldn't be afraid of not getting the project money." Chen Xi knew that Shen Xinyi's company was still very powerful in China.
"You can basically get it back, but if any leader misappropriates the money, if you can't get it back once, then our group's capital chain may have problems..." Shen Xinyi was very worried.
What she just performed is what she has seen after following her father for so many years.
In fact, the biggest difficulty in doing business in China is getting money. If it wasn’t so difficult to get money, I guess there wouldn’t be so many companies going bankrupt.
A month later...
In front of the newsstand at the train station, Chen Xi bought a copy of "TheAage".
After Carsales was listed on the ASX main board, the issue price rose from 3.5 Australian dollars to 5.2 Australian dollars...
Looking at the news in the newspaper, Chen Xi raised the corner of his mouth and walked silently towards a Chinese fast food restaurant.
City, Carsales headquarters.
"Haha, let me tell you, a small Real-Car is nothing to be afraid of!" Norbert touched Jin Junxiu with champagne in hand.
Both of them were in a good mood. Looking at the prospering company and stock price, as well as their competitors who had been beaten to pieces and had no news recently, they felt relieved at this time.
After eliminating external threats, the collision between the two East and West is about to happen again.
“Now the company has been successfully listed, but the business scope is still the same. There is no trick in continuing this way. It is difficult to keep the stock price rising. We need to package it again so that investors can Only when you see the potential of the company." Jin Junxiu put down his glass and snapped his fingers.
"Well, you are right, is there any good solution?" Norbert looked at the other party.
“In Kimchi Country, we have already created a car platform similar to Carsales. Now we need to announce the cooperation between the two companies, so that the stock price can rise again.”
“Good idea.” Norbert surprisingly had no objection, which made Jin Junxiu very satisfied with the other party's attitude.
He now feels that he is the boss and Norbert is just his lackey.
"I think we should add more foreign employees. After all, Kimchi Country is still ahead of Tu'ao in terms of IT."
"Okay!"
"Add some more locals Employees from Australia go to Kimchi Country to help improve the platform ”
“Okay! ”
"Don't you have anything to say?" Norbert's reaction made Jin Junxiu frown.
This is the same feeling as if someone who has been quarreling with you in normal times suddenly changed his mind and flattered you today.
"What did you say? I think your idea is very good." Norbert smiled.
“Ahem, don’t think that now that we are on the market, you can be ecstatic. We must stay vigilant and make the company bigger and stronger!” Jin Junxiu thought Norbert was already immersed in a state of elation. , so he coughed lightly and reminded.
“Yes, I understand.” Norbert nodded, but sneered in his heart.
He was now thinking about how the Asian would cry then.
Ringwood, in front of a villa, Chen Xi rang the doorbell.
Soon, an old lady walked out of it.
"Hello, this is the takeaway you ordered!" Chen Xi handed over the bag in his hand.
"Thank you, come in and sit down." The old lady was about eighty years old. She looked senile, but the smile on her face looked very warm.
Chen Xi did not refuse, but followed the other party into the house.
After entering the house, Chen Xi looked at the surrounding furnishings. They were still the same as before, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.
"Come on, come on, please drink coffee. Oh, which country are you from?" The old lady brought an exquisite cup and poured Chen Xi a cup of fragrant coffee, and then poured another for herself. One cup.
“Chinese people.”
“Chinese people are great. I have never been to China, but my daughter and granddaughter have been to China. They always tell me how wonderful it is there. How beautiful..." Listening to the old man's nagging, Chen Xi smiled slightly.
This was a customer who delivered food to him in his previous life, and it was also the place where he got his first tip, so he was particularly impressed.
She usually lives alone in the huge house without any relatives around her, which makes her feel a little lonely, which reminds him of his grandmother.
In his previous life, he saw that this old man was a little lonely, so he chatted with her for a long time. As a result, he delayed his next takeout order, and was scolded by the manager in the end.
"What do you think of our service?" After listening to the old man's chatter, Chen Xi smiled.
"I'm very satisfied. No one has ever been willing to listen to me say so much." The lovely old white lady clapped her hands and said, and by the way, she took out a fifty-dollar bill and forced it on him.
"No, I mean how fast is our food delivery? It only took about twenty minutes from the time you ordered the takeout to the time it was delivered."
"Um...I didn't pay attention, it seems to be faster than others Be quick, I remember it was already cold when the takeout was delivered..."
"You'd better eat first, otherwise it will be cold after a while," Chen Xi reminded with a smile.
After bidding farewell to the old lady, Chen Xi returned to the car and opened a takeaway software called HungryDragon. After looking at the planned route above, he then looked at the route displayed on TOMTOM. Then he frowned.
"Hey, Lin Yu! Why is the route planning on our software different from TOMTOM? It shows that it will only take fifteen minutes to arrive." Chen Xi picked up the phone and dialed the number.
"Oh, I'm debugging it! Then I'll look at other people's data and compare it." Lin Yu on the other end of the phone seemed very busy.
"Hurry up, hurry up, Carsales' stock price has been soaring, we have to overtake at a corner!" Chen Xi shouted and then hung up the phone, because his mobile phone showed that the next takeout order was coming again. .
In line with the principle that the customer is God, he stepped on the accelerator after looking at the map.
"Today's young people are really good. They were willing to listen to me nagging for so long." The old lady standing in front of the window couldn't help but smile knowingly when she saw Chen Xi's leaving figure. (End of this chapter)
