Chapter 1525 Dividends of multinational companies (first update, please subscribe)
There were only two people sitting in the hotel box. After the food was served, Zheng Guilu took the initiative to apologize.
Han Changping just laughed at this time and said:
“It’s not easy for us Tang people to survive overseas, so we should keep an eye on each other!”
Watch out for each other!
This has always been their principle of doing things. When dealing with foreign companies, if the other party is from Tang Dynasty, the way of dealing with them will be different and it will be easier to reach a consensus.
So there is this change in tendency, and the reason is very simple - it is because we watch each other.
This was done deliberately by Li Yian in the early days. To a certain extent, it was based on the experience of Asan and the Tang Dynasty.
In another world in North America, although many American companies play a mainstay role, especially in the technology field, the executives of those companies are often Indians.
This is of course directly related to Indians' love of showing off - they are all talkative, and they all like to express themselves, and it is never right to brag. Although this is a fault in the eyes of many people, in shopping malls First of all, they must be good at expressing themselves, and because of this, they have gained the upper hand.
But what's more terrifying?
It’s just that Indians like to get together. An Indian enters a company. The company will soon be flooded with Indians like cockroaches, and Indian executives will consider Indians first.
In their culture, there is absolutely no way to avoid suspicion.
Moreover, after an Indian becomes an executive of an American company, when he contacts another American company and finds that there is an Indian in the other party's team, he will directly name the Indian and ask to connect with that Indian.
It is precisely because of this kind of support that Indian executives are overrun in the United States, especially in Silicon Valley, like cockroaches...!
No matter how talkative those Indians are, no matter how low their abilities are. However, this kind of mutual support and mutual watching is commendable.
They are very similar to Jews in this regard. Jews in Europe and the United States also do the same thing when doing business. In order to facilitate doing business with these people, many so-called local companies will take the initiative to promote some Jews or Indians into management.
And when those companies do this, it just increases their influence, causing other companies to follow suit. Even Japanese and Korean companies are not immune and appoint some Indian or Jewish executives. .
Because he witnessed their success, Li Yian set a rule for the company's management a long time ago, which is to "watch each other."
However, this mutual watchfulness also has certain restrictions - if a Tang executive harms his compatriots, he will be suppressed from all aspects.
For more than ten years, it has long been a habit of the company's management to support compatriots. Therefore, what Han Changping did before was just to follow the trend, and both of them are indeed fellow Shandong Province residents.
Then he looked at the young man in front of him and said:
"It's not easy for you to become a director in a foreign country. You must have encountered something difficult when you came here this time. You might as well speak up and listen."
"Mr. Han has said so, so I won't be polite."
The Zheng Guilu family secretly revealed that they had just been promoted to director of Samsung Club and that they hoped to use business in Saigon to take care of their status in Samsung Club.
"...So I can only come here, hoping to get technical help and cooperate to complete the infrastructure orders delivered by the US military in the future."
After listening to Zheng Guilu's story, Han Changping thought for a while and said.
"Gui Lu, you should know very well that we also have some contracts in Saigon, so there is a competitive relationship between us."
After that, he looked at the young man in front of him and asked.
"Now can you give me a reason why I should help my competitors?"
"In my opinion, we are not competitors, Mr. Han, the Americans gave us some orders, and this was also an agreement reached with the United States when President Park visited the United States.
"Escape poverty with blood"...this is not just talk. Koreans are going to bleed. The Koreans have to shed their blood in exchange for the US military contract! ”
Although he did not speak, Han Changping knew this was a fact. In fact, when South Korea decided to send troops to Vietnam, Han Changping had already realized that they would face a new competitor in Saigon.
Although this competitor is weak, what is different from other opponents is that they are exchanging blood for contracts!
There are some contracts that the US military will never consider others. They need to use those contracts in exchange for Koreans sending troops to Vietnam.
So from this perspective, cooperation with Samsung Corporation is not a bad thing for the company.
“After we get those contracts, although we are technically deficient, we can choose to cooperate with you or choose to cooperate with American companies.
But how many people do I personally prefer to cooperate with? Just like what you said, Mr. Han - we should look out for each other. Since this is a profitable business, why should we take advantage of others? "Zheng Guilu's words made Han Changping nodded, and then said:
"Well, that's true. Since it's cooperation, I'd like to hear your thoughts on cooperation."
Zheng Guilu quickly replied:
"Cooperation is very simple. As a Korean company, we accept contracts from the US military, and then you provide technical support, and we provide labor. After all, South Korea's biggest advantage is that labor costs are cheap enough."
"Our advantage lies in technology. We provide technology and you provide labor... Generally speaking, although we compete, we still have common interests."
While speaking, Han Changping thought for a while and then said:
"Well, tomorrow, you come to the company, and then I will send someone to follow up."
Then Han Changping and Zheng Guilu continued to chat, but they mostly talked about South Korea and the changes that had taken place in South Korea in the past two years.
After dinner, Han Changping personally put Zheng Guilu in the car, and then took the car home.
On the way home, Han Changping recalled the news he got from Zheng Guilu during the meal, and then said to himself:
"It seems that South Korea's economic boom has only happened in the past few years."
The reason why Han Changping made this judgment was because the Korean reform government was basically able to impose orders and prohibitions.

The secretary sitting in the passenger seat said curiously after hearing what the general manager said.
"Manager, why do you say that?"
"It's easy!"
Han Changping said:
"The military-turned-government...although they may not be able to do whatever they want, at least they will not be restricted by all parties when doing things."
While talking, Han Changping couldn't help but cast his eyes on the bustling night scene outside the car window. Looking at the night scene of Chang'an, he couldn't help but think of what it looked like back then.
"When we came here, it was just a backward port town. My comrades and I came here as soldiers, and then, under your leadership, we drew a blueprint in the command room of the landing ship .
Then large-scale construction began. It was from that time on that many people called this place the "Miracle of the Equator",
And attribute this miracle to various reasons. Americans like to use us as an example to prove the superiority of the Western world.
But, in fact, we are not at all the same as Americans here. Everything is in compliance with your will!
It was under your guidance that we formulated the blueprint and realized it step by step without any objection or resistance in the process!
After all, we are soldiers, and the duty of a soldier is to obey. ”
Looking back, Han Changping said to his secretary:
"This is the case in South Korea now. Most of Park Jung-ung's government members and his confidants are from the military. These people will not question or doubt his orders. They will obey 100%.
As a result, there is no longer the opposition and disputes that plagued South Korea in the past, and coupled with their determination to develop the economy at all costs, how can their economy fail to develop? ”
In fact, sometimes economic development is so simple, especially for late-developing countries. The first thing they need is political stability. As long as there is political stability and authorities willing to develop the economy, economic development is almost a matter of course. things.
At this time, if there is an influx of funds brought by a large amount of external investment, then economic take-off will be almost natural.
"Manager, does this mean that South Korea has great development potential in the future? Do we need to consider deploying in South Korea in advance to share their development dividends."
In fact, what he is talking about is sharing the dividends of development. What he is actually talking about is that he wants to turn Korea's development dividends into dividends for the company by investing in advance when it develops in South Korea.
Why many multinational groups like to invest in developing countries is actually not just to take advantage of cheap labor or resources in developing countries.
They also have an unknown idea, which is to absorb the development dividends of developing countries as much as possible during their development and turn their development dividends into their own profits.
This is the true purpose of multinational corporations.
Listening to the secretary's words, Han Changping just nodded and said:
"You can really think about it. Of course, how far will they develop in the end? It depends on how far their authorities can go and whether they can seize the opportunity."
