The richest man starts from a street stall

Chapter 361 Sense of National Responsibility

New York/New York is the largest city and largest commercial port in the United States. It is not only the financial center of the United States, but also one of the financial centers of the world.

Manhattan Island is the core of New York/New York, and it is the smallest in the five districts, only [-] square kilometers.

But this small island, which is narrow from east to west and long from north to south, is the financial center of the United States.

More than one-third of the [-] largest companies in the United States are headquartered in Manhattan.

This is also the place with the most skyscrapers. When you look up, you can see tall buildings towering into the sky, majestic and majestic.

The headquarters of the Academic Publishing House is also located on Manhattan Island. Chen Shi and his colleagues visited the Academic Publishing House the next morning to discuss business cooperation with Robinson.

The two parties signed a cooperation agreement on literature. In the future, the publication of the Harry series and the Dou Po series, as well as the authorization of literature peripheral products in the United States, will be entrusted to Academic Publishing House as an agent.

As for the new book Mortal, Chen Shi will not make a decision so soon.

As a partner, Academic Publishing House is not only responsible for the promotion of Shenshi Group’s literature, legal affairs, and handling other disputes that may arise, but also uses resources to assist Shenshi Group’s animation and other literary aspects in the United States.

It is a win-win situation for both parties to share what they need.

If you want to swallow the cake of huge profits, it may be more troublesome in the United States, but it is not impossible.

Even if it was possible, Chen Shi didn't want to.

The group has grown to a certain scale, and it is necessary to find forces or network resources that can develop together and assist each other, so as to ensure the smooth sailing of the Shenshi Group's aircraft carrier in the future.

The Shenshi Group has not yet grown to the point where it is invincible. Even if Chen Shi has a golden finger, he is not a god.

It's good that the company doesn't have any problems, but if there are any problems, Shenshi Group and Chen Shi will be helpless without political and business friends.

Chen Shi didn't notice this problem before. As the group gets bigger, he will find that if he only has money and the network resources are not strong enough, then it really won't work.

For example, Chen Shi was detained by a certain country. If he didn't get assistance from the country or other forces, he would basically be finished.

Chen Shi and other Chinese personnel had lunch with Robinson at noon.

In the afternoon, Chen Shi and the others wandered on the streets of Manhattan.

In the evening, we came to the famous Chinatown located in the lower city at the southern end of Manhattan in New York City.

Here it is not big, just a few square kilometers.

Signboards in Chinese and English can be seen everywhere, and most of the people walking on the street are yellow-skinned.

The happiest ones were probably the bodyguards Lu Bo and Li Anmin.

The two felt a sense of security when they saw familiar things and heard many people speaking Chinese.

Several people walked into a craft shop, Wu Yong introduced to Chen Shi and others:

"The small commodities here are almost shipped from Yitung City in China."

"Some are foreign brands, but the stuff is still produced domestically. The stuff has gone abroad for a while, and then returned to China. The quality is better than that sold domestically."

Chen Shi casually picked up an iPhone case from the shelf, bent it, and felt that the elasticity and plasticity were very good, and the quality was very good. On the plastic packaging, the place of origin was "Made in ch/ina".

It's not that domestic products with good quality cannot be produced, but that the manufacturing cost is reduced regardless of the quality gains and losses in consideration of profits.

Otherwise, the quality standards for exported products are required to be higher.

Chen Shi thoughtfully thought about the current situation of the domestic machinery manufacturing industry.

Domestic machining factories, even large companies, still use 80s machine tools for three to forty years.

For some cutting-edge technology equipment, there is still a big gap between the manufacturing level of Huaguo and some countries, and even if you have money, you can't buy it.

It happened that Wu Yong said: "Don't think that Huaguo is the world's processing factory, but many of the top manufacturing technologies are still based on foreign countries. If you see too much, I feel very helpless."

Wu Yong is in his 30s this year and is in charge of the business development of the US branch. He studied abroad for three years after finishing his undergraduate studies in China and then returned to work in China. He still understands the current situation in China.

The speaker does not intend, the listener intends.

To put it mildly, it is the world's processing factory, but in fact it lacks independent research and development and independent innovation, and only acts as a migrant worker and processor.

Chen Shi believed that Wu Yong's words were correct, objective facts were also an inevitable process.

As a robot in his previous life, he certainly knew how big the gap between domestic and foreign machinery manufacturing industries was.

Regardless of how powerful China's infrastructure is, the gap between the top equipment and materials in most basic industries and some countries is really big.

For example, the top three welding consumables in China, especially special welding consumables, are dual-phase steel and nickel-based alloy welding consumables. There is no difference in appearance quality, chemical composition and mechanical properties, but the welding spatter rate and corrosion resistance are poor. One or two grades, or not up to standard requirements at all.

Lithography machines, aero engine technology, these are often in the media news needless to say.

Seals, bearings, servo motors, controllers, systems, chips, five-axis machining centers, etc. There is a big gap between the country and Germany, Italy and Japan in this regard, and it cannot be solved within a short period of time.

Of course, when you see the gap in your own country, you must also see your own country's advantages, and take advantage of its strengths to make up for its weaknesses.

For example, in the face of big right and wrong, the cohesion of Hua people is incomparable to foreigners.

However, people must always wake up and not be arrogant. Only by learning from the strengths of other countries can they strengthen themselves.

Don't underestimate yourself, or think that everything is good in foreign countries, or even worship foreign countries.

Understand the strengths of others and make up for your own shortcomings.

At this moment, Chen Shi was very touched. As a new generation of rich people in China, with domestic wealth ranking among the top dozens, he felt that he had a sense of national responsibility.

The sense of national responsibility has nothing to do with politics. It is the perception of one's own responsibilities and obligations for the rise and fall of the nation.

If it is said that domestic rich people do not engage in manufacturing technology, but go to finance and real estate, can we still count on some small company workshops to study technology in depth.

In the previous life, I lamented the poor top technology of the domestic manufacturing industry, but now I am capable. If I don’t have some actions or actions to change this situation, I can do it but I don’t do it. Why should I blame others, blame counterfeit products, and blame others? Other companies are not trying hard.

However, Chen Shi is not a saint and has his own concerns. If doing these things to benefit the country also benefits himself, then he can give it a try.

When Chen Shi wrote Materials/Empire, he actually longed to personally solve domestic materials problems or other manufacturing industries.

At present, Chen Shi does not have the technology in this area, and some technologies cannot be obtained with money alone.

Therefore, no matter how much money he earns, he will become the richest man in the country one day, but he will not feel that he is so great.

What he admires very much is those domestic manufacturing companies that have mastered top technologies, such as Huawei/Huawei, a benchmark company in mobile phones and communications, and slightly inferior Gree/Li and Biya DI batteries.

Chen Shi's thoughts diverged a little, walking on the street, he almost bumped into a roadside stall.

Yang Hanwen yelled twice before he came back to his senses.

According to Wu Yong's introduction, most of the shops in Chinatown are restaurants.

Lanzhou ramen, Shencheng cuisine, HU Nan’s chopped pepper fish head, Chengcheng’s Mapo Tofu, NAN Jing’s braised lion head, and SHAN Dong’s pot stickers, etc., can all be found on some restaurant billboards.

Even, there is a barbecue.

Chen Shi likes to eat skewers, and everyone happened to be tired from walking, so he invited everyone to sit down at a barbecue restaurant.

Wu Yong said that the main income of Chinatown shops comes from tourism, especially the consumption of Chinese tourists.

Tourists think that they can get some imported products back home from here. It is true that imported products are produced in China, which is really interesting.
