Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Director Lei, under your wise leadership, more than 100 countries and regions are participating in the Spring Canton Fair this year."

“It’s a record high.”

"You will definitely be the one to helm the foreign economic center that will be established next year."

The backstage of the Canton Fair, the organizing committee office.

A man in his thirties wearing black-framed glasses praised the grand occasion of this year's Canton Fair.

Lei Zesheng, director of the Canton Fair Preparatory Office, was sitting in his office chair, with no sign of happiness on his face.

This year, new records were set in both scale and the number of participating countries and regions.

According to the grapevine.

The relevant departments will adjust the structure of the Canton Fair Preparatory Office.

Upgraded to a foreign trade center.

In addition to being responsible for the Canton Fair, it will also be responsible for more foreign economic activities.

"Xiao Li, please stop saying nice things to comfort me."

"This year's Spring Canton Fair has more participating countries and regions confirmed than ever before, but the overall situation has not improved as a result."

"You came with me to inspect the venue, don't you know what's going on?

Lei Zesheng sighed.

Lei Zesheng knows the real transaction situation of the Canton Fair better than anyone else.

The flourishing Canton Fair does not help the country's development and construction as much as imagined.

Since the 1950s, the turnover of the Canton Fair has been rising sharply.

Last year, the Spring Canton Fair and the Autumn Canton Fair generated a total transaction volume of more than 40 million US dollars.

In the overall transaction volume, the largest share is not exports, but imports.

The prices of a small number of export commodities are severely suppressed by Western companies, mainly those from island countries.

in recent years.

The island nation has become the world's largest exporter of goods.

Various products from the island country are occupying the Western market, led by the United States.

Import industrial raw materials from other countries at low prices.

Relying on the country's processing capabilities, the finished products are sold to other countries.

It is like an island country spending 1 cent to buy materials, while the local country spends 50 cents to process them.

The price sold to other countries is at least ten times the cost price.

"Leader, something happened..."

Just then, the office door was slammed open.

A staff member rushed in breathlessly, pointed outside and said, "Foreign businessmen...foreign businessmen...

“What happened to the foreign businessmen?

Secretary Li asked hurriedly.

The staff member gasped and said, "Two groups of foreign businessmen are about to fight!"

"what!!!"

Lei Ze stood up suddenly.

The Canton Fair has been held for more than 20 years since the 1950s.

There have never been any vicious incidents such as fights.

the other side.

Andrew, who had been dejected and furious at Kudo Masayoshi before, seemed to be resurrected.

With his hands on his shoulders, he looked at Kudo Masayasu with an arrogant expression.

Behind the two of them, there stood a large group of people.

Behind Masayasu Kudo are the company staff.

I learned that my boss had a conflict with two British businessmen.

The entourage who were scattered everywhere immediately came over to support Kudo Masayasu.

at the same time.

Merchants from Britain and the United States also gathered here.

He stared menacingly at the islanders in front of him.

The conflict between Western companies and island companies has long reached an irreconcilable point.

Entering the seventies.

There have been hundreds of trade frictions, large and small, between the West and island countries.

Britain is worried that the island country will completely dominate its market.

A high tariff policy was adopted to strictly prevent the invasion of goods from the island countries.

Even so, the island country's cheap goods are still frantically taking over the Western market.

First, textiles.

Then came a wide variety of cheap home appliances.

A few years ago, cars from the island country began to impact the Western auto industry one after another.

The current conflict is not just a personal dispute between British and island companies.

It also represents a direct conflict between two huge economies.

Kudo Masayasu raised four fingers and shouted, "Air fryer, four hundred dollars a piece."

"Coffee beans from the Black Sea, $2 a pound."

Hearing this, Andrew said, "In addition to the radio and tape recorder production lines, I will add an electronic watch production line."

"you!"

Kudo Masayasu angrily accused Andrew of being shameless and threatened fiercely: "Mr. Andrew, aren't you afraid that Hong Kong's electronics industry will be sanctioned again?"

Andrew sneered: "If you have the ability to influence the decision-making of the authorities, continue to sanction Hong Kong Island as much as possible."

"You have the ability to impose sanctions, and Britain also has the ability to impose counter-sanctions."

More than a decade ago, the business community of Hong Kong Island, which was controlled by Britain, had a fierce business competition with the island country.

In the 1960s, the main economic pillar of the island nation was electronic products.

Mainly radio.

Hong Kong Island followed suit and boosted economic development through the export of radios.

Relying on cheap labor costs and management costs.

Products such as radios manufactured in Hong Kong gained an advantage over the competition.

In view of this.

The island nation launched a radical commercial counterattack.

A trade embargo comparable to sanctions was imposed.

Stop selling electron tubes to Hong Kong Island.

Faced with this situation, England, the man behind the Hong Kong business community, would naturally not agree.

Join forces with the United States to supply electron tubes to Hong Kong Island.

Once again, it surpassed the island country in the field of radio exports.

"It's so satisfying when dogs bite each other, it's so damn satisfying."

Lin Kaifeng, who was in charge of watching the show, enjoyed it very much.

What is dog bite dog?

The best reflection is what is right in front of you.

On one side are the wealthy and arrogant island businessmen.

On the other side is the old capitalist country, where the British have arrogance and pride in their bones.

When two tigers fight, Lin Kaifeng wins.

"Make way! Everyone, make way!!!"

A large group of staff members in Zhongshan suits squeezed in from outside.

They quickly formed a human wall and separated the two groups who were ready to fight.

Lei Zesheng, the head of the organizing committee who was at the front, was overwhelmed.

"Who is the head of Northern Machinery Company?"

Through the staff, Lei Zesheng learned the reason why there was a tension between British and island businessmen.

All this was because a company called Northern Machinery Company produced two export products.

"Boss, I'm Lin Kaifeng, the head of Northern Machinery Company."

Lin Kaifeng walked out from behind the booth.

"You come with me."

Lei Zesheng ordered the staff to keep the situation stable.

We must never allow foreign businessmen to fight.

Before dealing with a conflict, Lei Zesheng must first know what happened.

It was clearly a business transaction, how could it turn into a physical fight over a disagreement?

Once Masayoshi Kudo and Andrew started fighting.

Lei Zesheng, the person in charge of the Canton Fair, may be ordered to retire early.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

A few minutes later, Lei Zesheng's eyes widened and he kept coughing.

At one point I suspected I was hallucinating.

Over an electric rice cooker, Japanese and British companies are about to fight each other.

This guy is crazy!

The rice cooker is not the God of Wealth’s treasure bowl, so why bother?
