When will I have a long tassel?

Ruigang City, Jingnan Province, in the office of Hansley, general manager of the American-owned company Twigg (Jingnan) Company.

Two Chinese people who looked like government officials, a man and a woman, were sitting opposite Hansley, doing work for each other diligently.

"Mr. Hansley, please seriously consider the issue of factory relocation. When Twigg Company settled in Ruigang, our Ruigang City gave you many preferential policies. Over the years, our cooperation has been very pleasant. , Twigg's investment has also received generous returns, and the total profit may have exceeded five times the investment.

"Under such circumstances, we feel very sudden that Tweige Company suddenly proposed to move the factory out of Ruigang. We believe that this move will not only have an impact on the economic development of Ruigang, but will also have an impact on Tweige." It is not a wise move to affect the development of the company."

The person who spoke was Long Zhengyong, the deputy director of the Ruigang City Investment Promotion Bureau, and the beautiful girl sitting next to him was his assistant Zhu Jing.

"Mr. Long, I also feel very sorry for this matter." Hansili said in not very proficient Chinese. He is an authentic American, but after working in China for more than ten years, he has learned a lot of Chinese and is able to communicate normally with Chinese people.

"The relocation was decided by the company headquarters, and I am just an executor. Personally, I like China very much, including the food in Ruigang. As Mr. Long said, both of us have It has been a pleasure cooperating with you, and I will be very sad to leave you old friends."

"But why did you move the factory out of China? Is it because of the warnings from the commander-in-chief?" Long Zhengyong asked.

"That's right." Hansley spread his hands. "After all, he is the commander of the United States. We must comply with what he says. He has issued us several warnings, requiring us to move our production base out. China, you can move to any country."

"But isn't the United States a free country? Why do you still have to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief?" Zhu Jing couldn't help but interjected.

Long Zhengyong glanced at Zhu Jing and felt that her question was a bit silly, but then he thought it would be good to pretend to be stupid, at least to hear Hansley's true thoughts.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Jing's words, Hansley sighed softly and said: "Ms. Zhu, you are right. The United States is a country that advocates market freedom, and the government generally does not issue administrative orders to enterprises. But ours This commander-in-chief is not a normal politician. No one knows what he is thinking, and no one dares to question his decision.

"Many large companies in the United States have already succumbed to his orders and moved their production bases out of China to India and countries in Southeast Asia. Our Twigg Company is only a small company and does not even have the ability to lobby outside the hospital, so I don’t dare challenge the authority of the commander-in-chief.”

"In other words, you also plan to move the company to a country in South Asia or Southeast Asia. So, which country will you move to specifically?" Long Zhengyong asked.

Hansley shook his head and said: "I don't know this yet. I have just received a notice from the headquarters, asking me to prepare for the relocation. I think we are old friends. For such a thing, I must report it to you in advance. You have informed me that this involves the cancellation of the lease of the venue and the dismissal of workers. I think this will cause you a lot of trouble."

Long Zhengyong smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, that's what we do. When Twigg Company settled in Ruigang, our old director promised you that our Ruigang Investment Promotion Bureau will protect The legitimate rights and interests of every foreign company, every company is free to come and go.

"We welcome you when you come to Ruigang. If you want to leave Ruigang, no matter what the reason is, we will give you a warm farewell and assist you in all the aftermath work.

"In addition, if you want to return to Ruigang one day, we will still welcome you, no different from when you first came. In fact, in the past 20 years, many families have Companies have come back after leaving Ruigang, after all, the business environment in Ruigang is unmatched by many other places."

Long Zhengyong tried hard to speak tactfully, but Hansley was also half a China expert, so how could he not hear the implications in the other party's words. He smiled and nodded and said: "I will remember Mr. Long's words. Maybe one day we will indeed return to Ruigang. What I mean is, maybe we will build a new production base in Ruigang." .”

"We will sweep the couches to greet you then." Long Zhengyong said a sentence without considering whether the other party understood such an allusion.

After coming out of Twigg Company, Zhu Jing angrily said to Long Zhengyong: "Director Long, this Hansley is so useless. We have known for a long time that they are in contact with the Vietnamese, and it is led by him. He actually said he didn’t know where to move to. You see, he kept saying he was an old friend of us, and I believed his big-headed ghost!"

Long Zhengyong smiled and said: "Xiao Zhu, you are still too young. We are businessmen, so it is normal to see people and ghosts. It is not surprising that Hansley has his own ideas and is unwilling to tell us the truth."

"Director Long, do you think the commander-in-chief is really that powerful? How dare these American companies disobey his will?" Zhu Jing asked curiously.

Long Zhengyong thought for a while and said, "I can't explain this matter clearly. Last time, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission sent Mr. Tang from Linji Group to investigate. Mr. Tang gave us a lecture, and he talked about a few things. Mr. Tang said, The leader is a businessman who likes to engage in business intrigues. What he was good at in the past was to exert extreme pressure on his competitors and pose as if he wanted to die with his opponents. His opponents were worried that he was a madman and did not dare to fight with him, and would eventually end up dead. Choose to compromise.

"American companies don't know whether the General Commander will really attack them. For the sake of avoiding risks, it is possible to temporarily compromise with the General Commander. However, when it comes to Twigg Company specifically, I'm afraid the reason is Not so innocent anymore.”

"You're saying that Twigg Company has wanted to leave for a long time, and now it's using this excuse to push things along?" Zhu Jing asked. She also has a master's degree from a prestigious school and has a sufficient IQ. Long Zhengyong mentioned it and she guessed the rest of the content.

Long Zhengyong said: "I have heard people say more than once that Hensley complained about China's labor costs being too high, saying that when Twigg first arrived in China, a worker's monthly salary was only 500 yuan, but now it costs 5,000 yuan. Since they can’t hire people, China has lost its advantage of cheap labor. They are moving to Vietnam this time because the labor there is cheap. As for the trade war between the leaders, of course it is also a factor, and it may be the one that breaks the camel’s back. The last straw."

"Not only foreign companies think this way, but many of our private companies also think this way. In recent years, many private companies have gone to Southeast Asia to build factories." Zhu Jing said.

Long Zhengyong said: "This is inevitable. We can't always rely on cheap labor to develop, right? Why can foreign workers live in villas and drive luxury cars, but our workers must always receive a salary of 500 yuan? ?”

Zhu Jing said: "But if this happens, won't our economy be affected?"

Long Zhengyong said: "Many leaders in the province and city have also raised concerns about this issue. When Mr. Tang came last time, he gave everyone a lecture, which was actually giving everyone reassurance. Mr. Tang said that a few The relocation of labor-intensive enterprises out of China will not affect China's development. We must maintain our competitiveness through industrial upgrading.

"Mr. Tang also said that China used to be at the bottom of the food chain, relying on working for others to earn some hard money. Now that we have developed, it is time to move to the top of the food chain. We must rely on technology to make a living and let others work for us.

"I compared Mr. Tang's words and observed the development of our Ruigang, and I think it makes sense. In recent years, many of our original export processing industries in Ruigang have moved away, but the economic development rate is still very fast. The reason is We have introduced many technology-intensive industries and are making money from high-end manufacturing.”

Zhu Jing pursed her lips and smiled: "Director Long, why do I think you are so convinced of Mr. Tang? As we young people said, it was Mr. Tang's brain..., uh..."

She couldn't go on, but Long Zhengyong smiled and added for her: "Don't you just want to say that I am Mr. Tang's crazy fan? I fully admit this evaluation. You don't know Mr. Tang's vision , even the leaders above appreciate it. I am a small deputy director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, why is it strange that I have become his crazy fan?"

"But isn't Mr. Tang the general manager of a state-owned enterprise?" Zhu Jing questioned.

Long Zhengyong said mysteriously: "Don't think like this. Mr. Tang was named and praised by the superiors. It is only a matter of time before he is promoted to a higher position. I heard that the leaders above want to take advantage of this trade." Fight and test Mr. Tang. Otherwise, why would the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission send Mr. Tang to lead a team to Ruigang for investigation? "

"So that's it." The little girl was shocked. Things at this level were originally beyond her imagination. She thought for a while and then asked: "Director Long, you just talked to Hansley for a long time about the issue of freedom of movement. Do you really think Twigg will come back?"

Long Zhengyong nodded firmly and said: "I think they will definitely come back, and it won't be too long. But, it's easy to leave Ruigang, but it's not that easy to come back. Xiao Zhu , you are going to make a blacklist, and all foreign-funded companies that leave Ruigang at this time will be put on the list. When they want to come back, we have to settle accounts with them."

Let me explain: Recently, Chengzi has had some family troubles, the worst kind..., I can’t go into details. Orange will try its best to resume updates...it can only be said that it is the best it can be.
