Rebirth 79, starting from making my ex-wife regret

"Lin Zi, can I understand it this way? I set up a trading company with import and export qualifications in the Stars and Stripes Country, purchase goods from your company, and then make ** changes in the Stars and Stripes Country, turning them from Xiaguo products into local products?"

The Star-Spangled Nation's dislike for Sakura has a long history.

Use the Xia country idiom to describe it.

Little Sakura becomes wild as soon as she finds out.

Relying on the war dividends given by the United States, Sakura's overall strength quickly returned to the pre-war level.

Because it is an island country.

Overseas trade has become a top priority for Xiaoyinghua's development.

The second year of recovery.

Sakura vigorously supported the local textile industry, and a large number of cheap textiles entered the United States, with a shirt costing only $1.

In less than two years, the textile industry in the United States was defeated by the impact of Sakura.

This triggered the first round of trade crisis between Sakura and the Stars and Stripes.

This incident is known in history as the "$1 shirt incident."

To protect the local textile industry.

The United States forced Sakura to sign the Cotton Textiles Agreement, achieving the final victory in the trade war.

Unexpectedly.

Having tasted the sweetness, Sakura came up with another surprising move. It began to vigorously support the home appliance industry and the metallurgical industry, continuing its commercial impact on the manufacturing industry of the United States.

At the same time, Sakura discovered a loophole in the Cotton Textiles Agreement.

Use chemical synthetic fiber technology to replace natural wool, cotton and linen in textiles.

This outrageous move made the American nation jump up and down and curse.

As times change, the Star-Spangled States' response strategy has also changed.

Early fifties.

The Star-Spangled Empire was at its peak, and the Soviet Union and the Bear had not yet posed a comprehensive threat to the West.

By the mid-1960s, the Soviet Union had become a superpower capable of competing with the United States.

When the strength is the same, the status of the surrounding allies suddenly becomes higher.

Faced with the commercial invasion of Sakura, the United States could only turn a blind eye.

On the one hand, the United States needs a large amount of cheap goods.

on the other hand.

The better Sakura develops, the more she can assist the Star-Spangled Nation in fighting against Su Xiong and Xia Nation in the Asia-Pacific region.

Over time.

Sakura's commercial influence spread across the globe, causing a major collapse of the Star-Spangled Nation's industry.

"That's what I mean, but the specific process is not as simple as you think."

Fang Lin patiently explained: "In addition to setting up a company, we also need to open one or two factories to modify the 'commodity parts' imported from Xia Country."

“For example, changing the color, the casing, fixing the screws, and installing the antenna.”

"As long as American workers participate in the assembly, you are eligible to put the American-made trademark on it."

"Oh my god! Lin Zi, you are a profiteer!!!"

After a few minutes, George suddenly realized.

He sighed in astonishment at how many stupid ideas Fang Lin had.

It’s more like embellishment than processing.

Suppose Fang Lin opened a pastry business.

George bought the processed cream cakes from Fang Lin's company.

Take back your own business.

Arrange employees to put candles on the cakes, put some simple decorations, and sell them in locally produced cake boxes.

Transform yourself.

Birthday cakes became a product manufactured by George Company.

A pure American product.

Absolutely, it’s absolutely amazing!

"This is called having to do both things well. If I rely solely on orders from Western companies, my products will gradually lose their autonomy and I will become a contract manufacturer for Western companies."

"Without the support of these large companies, if we sell our products overseas independently, we will find that no one will buy them due to the lack of brand reputation."

Fang Lin smiled bitterly.

If you want to become bigger and stronger, this is just the first step in a long journey.

Whether it is Walmart, Carrefour, Best Buy, Tesco, or Sears.

These large retail companies all have one common problem: they are too domineering.

There is no problem with short-term cooperation.

Over time, the other party will inevitably significantly reduce the purchase price, leaving no room for bargaining for the supplier.

Especially Walmart.

In the early 1980s, the market share and net profit of Sears, a long-established chain store, were five times that of Wal-Mart.

A few years later, Walmart became the world's largest chain retailer.

He became the richest man in the United States, launched commercial satellites, and completed a global commercial procurement network.

It relies on squeezing suppliers' profits and excluding middlemen.

With huge sales volume, we firmly grasp the bargaining power in negotiations.

After years of contact.

Fang Lin still has a very high opinion of George.

"Old Qiao, no one wants to work for a lifetime. You came all the way to work in Xia Country to support your family, didn't you?"

"Once the ambassador who hired you leaves office, your job will probably be over too. After all, the driver is half of the ambassador's confidant, you know."

Fang Lin patted George on the shoulder.

Whether at home or abroad, leader drivers are a special group of people.

Put it in the country.

When a leader is promoted or resigns, he or she rarely leaves the driver alone.

If you don't take him with you, he will definitely be assigned to a leadership position with good performance.

As for the West.

Fang Lin didn't quite understand.

But it will not be left to the next ambassador.

Ambassador drivers are different from ordinary leaders' drivers and have access to a large amount of top secrets that are unknown to the public. ?

George thought for a moment and said, "Linzi, can I discuss this matter with my Jerry? You know, he knows more about this than I do."

"After all, this is a big deal, so it's better to find someone to discuss it with. It happens that he will come over the day after tomorrow, and then you uncle and nephew will think about my ideas carefully."

George heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that Jerry was about to arrive in Xia Country.

In the family, only Jerry is a professional businessman.

And they are studying in higher education institutions, and their minds and vision are better than mine.

"Uncle, there is nothing wrong with the cooperation conditions proposed by Fang Lin. They are very suitable for you."

On the day of arriving in Xia Country, George went to the airport in person to greet his nephew.

On the way, I told Jerry the whole story and asked him what he thought about it.

Upon learning that Fang Lin and George were working together to transform Xia Xin's products exported to the United States and turn them into local products in the United States through OEM, Jerry agreed 100%.

Brilliant business thinking and clever concealment.

The finished products of Xia Country were labeled with spare parts, split into several pieces and shipped to the Stars and Stripes.

Local employees then assembled it, installed the casing, screwed it in, and affixed labels.

Packed in domestically produced outer boxes.

When you leave the factory again, five big words will appear on it.

Made in the Stars and Stripes.

"Uncle, the only thing you need to think about in this job is to get through some key departments. You don't have to worry about other problems. Fang Lin is actively putting green money into your pocket."

Jerry said excitedly: "Those guys in the customs are all greedy. If you feed them, I guarantee they won't cause you any trouble."

“As for the commercial audit department, it can also be solved with money.”

"When the ambassador leaves office and returns to China, you can ask him to be your business consultant. Through his connections, you can make friends with some department heads. That way, you won't be afraid of being taken advantage of."
