If you didn’t show up at 9 o’clock, everyone should understand and wait for the blue light to save you...

…

Although the United States has established diplomatic relations with the East for more than ten years, in fact, the Middle East is still a backward, ignorant, and mysterious place.

In their eyes, it is not a country, but a collective name: the mysterious East.

The reason why this stereotype is formed is, on the one hand, due to institutional opposition, which causes official propaganda to be tinted, and on the other hand, it is also due to some film and television works.

These film and television works are the main way for Americans, and even Western society as a whole, to understand the East.

Since the 1980s, the films exported from the East have all been on the fringe, either reflecting the dark side of society or from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

For example, "Farewell My Concubine" or "Red Sorghum" are good films, very social and realistic, but no matter how good they are, if they fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, the impact they will have is really unimaginable.

A single picture at the beginning is enough to create a bizarre and twisted story, let alone one with pictures and the truth.

Precisely because Sean is in the United States and works in the media, he naturally knows about this kind of thing.

Well, in fact, New Century Media has done this thing a lot. Sean thought about stopping it at first, but later gave up.

Americans love to watch it. Who can resist the ratings, not even the boss!

Besides, it's not a bad thing if everyone thinks so. Just leave the gold mine to yourself.

Later, Sean simply adopted the attitude of not knowing, not asking, and being irresponsible.

Therefore, Sean concluded that even if his idea of ​​transferring backward productivity to the east on a large scale and using cheap labor to reduce costs and save the company was a good idea, even if the government took the lead, the final result would definitely not be optimistic and would be criticized.

Huge doubts from those company managers and bosses.

After all, the most difficult thing is to break people's inherent cognition, and an even more difficult thing is to break the inherent cognition of a group of high-level intellectuals and elites.

They always think they are right!

Of course, people who are not strong-willed and easily influenced cannot become bosses and elites...

But this is not a bad thing for Sean.

…

In Shandong Province, a golden plane slowly landed from the sky. After it stopped, Sean led a group of shareholders from the Asian Investment Bank and walked off the plane one after another.

In the past two years, we have done a lot of business with Shandong Province, especially walking tractors, diesel engines, machinery spare parts, etc., all of which were purchased from here, making an important contribution to Shandong Province's export and foreign exchange earnings.

Youdao is all about cooking, not raw, so Sean and his inspection team set their first inspection target here.

The Shandong Province heard that Sean had come with a delegation composed of Malay tycoons and planned to set up a large-scale factory with no less than 300,000 employees. Good guy, the Shandong Province exploded as soon as this news came out.

Holding an emergency meeting to receive Sean and his team from Asia Investment Bank is the first job at the moment. At the critical moment, whoever dares to lose the chain will be left without a chain for the rest of his life!

This was no ordinary attention. The first and second leaders all came to the airport to greet him.

When Sean decided to purchase a walking tractor from here, it was not such a big deal. You can only imagine how big the investment will be this time!

The welcome was still in the spirit of the times, with loud gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, red flags waving, huge crowds of people, a group of eight or nine o'clock sun stepping on the drums and "kaka" salutes, and flowers were presented.

Who can help but smile when facing a group of children?

Get in the car, set off, the road is blocked, and the police car clears the way. There is only this one convoy on the wide road, and everyone on the roadside salutes with "ka ka", which highlights a difference.

Of course, we have eliminated classes!

Shandong cuisine, one of the eight major cuisines, is really good, especially when there are real chefs.

After having enough food and wine, we settled in and the formal inspection phase arrived the next day.

"Although we are not a special zone here, we can still provide the preferential policies that we should have." It was not a formal meeting, but a tea party. The second-in-command tried his best to promote the place, "Three links and one flat, three reductions and two exemptions, these

We definitely have what we need, please rest assured, Mr. Sean and everyone."

"In addition to these, we also have our advantages compared to those special zones in the south!"

"First, raw materials, such as steel, are surrounded by Anshan Iron and Steel and Shougang Steel, so shipping costs are low."

"Second, supporting facilities. Whether it is light or heavy industrial base, Shandong Province has a complete industrial chain. There is no need to worry about upstream and downstream raw materials here."

"Third, skilled workers. The Southern Special Economic Zone does have some good policies, but they lack skilled workers."

This is the main reason why Sean came here to inspect in the first place. It is not 20 years later. In this era, industry is basically in the northern region, whether it is light or heavy industry.

A large number of skilled workers can be recruited in society, especially now that the wave of layoffs is about to begin. Sean does not want to train workers when he is on the job, which would take too much time and cost.

The other is infrastructure construction. The infrastructure construction in the north has basically been completed. Compared with the current south, the equipment can basically be in place and production can start immediately.

Of course, considering this, Sean agreed without a word, and the investigation of this thing still has to continue.

After staying in Shandong Province for 10 days, Sean only left one sentence, "Let's see again."

Despite repeated orders that the inspection project must be kept confidential, the news still leaked out.

For a time, all provinces broke away from each other, found ways to find ways, and showed their magical powers. The relations were directly heard by Heaven.

What is the concept of a factory with 300,000 employees?

Well, it seems to be a large state-owned enterprise...

These days, many state-owned enterprises have their own schools, their own hospitals, their own farms, and many even have their own power stations. There are quite a lot of workers, including their families, ranging from tens to two to three hundred thousand.

Of course, that's not how the accounts are calculated.

Can state-owned enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises be the same?

Most of the products of foreign-funded enterprises are for export. Currently, nothing can create more political achievements than earning foreign exchange through exports.

Besides, especially in the northern region, the upper management knows that enterprise reforms will be carried out, and when the time comes, layoffs will be the general trend.

It's like a pension policy.

If family planning is good, the government will provide for the elderly.

It's better to have only one child, and the government will help provide for you in old age.

We cannot rely solely on the government for retirement; it is better to postpone retirement and provide for yourself.

Use your home to support your retirement and enjoy your future.

It is a duty to support the elderly, and it is shameful to leave it to the government.

Raising children for old age needs them to be filial, leaving it to the government is really shameless.

Giving birth to a baby is a matter of family and state.

Ahem... I digress. No policy can be achieved overnight. It just needs to release signals in advance and promote it bit by bit.

I don’t know how I found all kinds of connections. Some people asked me to go to Sean, and some people asked me to go to Mr. Guo and others. They are worldly people, and they are all top leaders in each province. If they don’t want to give them face, they can only visit all places.

one time.

First, go north, starting from the three eastern provinces. This is really just a formality. It is impossible for Sean to invest here.

Although the infrastructure is perfect and there are many workers, this area is not suitable for development, not even Liaoning, which has a port!

The natural environment is not suitable. This cannot be changed, and development will inevitably lag step by step.

For example, when building a factory building, you can directly build a steel frame building in the south, which is fast, cost-effective and easy to transform.

But this is not possible in the north. The problem of cold protection in one winter will more than double the construction cost. The factory building must be thick enough and have a cold-proof layer.

In winter, a large amount of money is spent on heating. The cold climate also makes equipment more susceptible to damage, and workers also need to pay a separate heating fee.

The cost is more than 30% higher than that in the warm south. The capitalists are crazy and build the place in the north!

Shandong Province is already the farthest north Sean can accept.

Sean was not in a hurry and headed south. After all, the US government was still wrangling.

Lao Bu's head is buzzing. Capitalist politics is like this. I will oppose what you advocate. Whether it is correct or not is not important. A group of people jumped out to sing the opposite view. The Donkey Party also secretly incited the trade unions to organize strikes.

The elimination of backward productivity means, to put it bluntly, the closure of factories. What will happen to the current workers?

Parades, strikes, etc., although they have not become a cultural feature like the French, they are still part of daily life in the United States.

Sean dares to say that at least 300,000 employees are needed. This refers to the hard-working and hard-working workers in the east, the best workers in the world who call the factory their home, the kind of 996 blessing.

In the United States, this would be equivalent to at least one million jobs. Adding in the associated upstream and downstream enterprises, at least 2 million jobs would be lost.

How many people does the United States have in total? The unemployment rate is going to rise again!

As time goes by, more and more companies are interested in participating, the industries involved become wider and wider, and the scale of demonstrations becomes larger and larger.

The Donkey Party is happy to see all this. This is a manifestation of freedom and democracy and the American spirit.

Lao Bu hated me so much that he scolded me every day.

After the team behind him deduced this suggestion, Sean thought it was still very feasible. The Elephant Party is a conservative party, and most of its supporters are engaged in traditional industries and manufacturing industries. They are indeed troubled by backward production capacity.

And really looking for a way out.

It's just not easy.

Again, not every country can provide a large number of cheap workers.

Poverty means backwardness, and the literacy rate cannot be solved. It is not a big problem for them to grow cotton, but it is difficult for them to become skilled workers.

Just like Cartagena, which Sean started, why is it no longer expanding?

The trade is lagging behind, and there are only so many workers currently available. When the next generation is trained, it will be the next generation...
To be continued...
