Chapter 73: I don’t want fame and fortune

Wuzhi's small machine drove over without long, dragging the small bread with a cable, and then Li Bin held the steering wheel in the small bread behind. Fan Wubing and the other three others arrived in Wuzhi's small machine's car.

"Mr. Fan, why do you drive such a broken car?" Wu Zhi's small Ji glanced at the small bread behind and asked curiously.

Wu Zhi Xiaoji is a person who is used to being a rich man. Even when he is at his most downturn, he has a net worth of billions of dollars. If he had not been able to return to Japan and had received help from Fan Wubing, he would never have stayed in a small place like Rock.

Therefore, when I saw the bread of Fan Wubing and others, I felt a little incredible, because Fan Wubing is a super rich man who is many times better than himself! Driving such a broken car is really harmful to his identity.

"Low, low-key!" Fan Wubing replied, "Wouldn't you beg yourself when you drive a Mercedes-Benz in the village? You should know that the mentality of hatred for the rich in China is relatively serious. It is easy to have problems if you are not a problem. You should also pay attention to this matter. You are a Japanese who drives a good car around the world, be careful that others will treat you as a fat sheep."

"Uh, it's actually like this?" Wu Zhixiao Ji said with a little worried, "Fortunately I drive an Audi, not a Mercedes-Benz!"

After dragging the bread to the city, Li Bin went to repair the car. Fan Heng did not return to the municipal government compound, but took the Wuzhi small machine car and went directly to the Panshi Glass Factory. At his invitation, he went to visit the current production situation.

As soon as Fan Heng arrived in the factory, he was warmly welcomed by the workers. Accompanied by Han Jin and the old workers, he went to the workshop to visit, while Wu Zhi Xiaoji and Fan Wubing returned to the office.

"Fan Sang, you haven't been instructing us for a long time." Wu Zhi Xiaoji said with complaint.

"You are doing a good job, there is nothing to give me some advice." Fan Wubing sat in the boss's chair and smiled and looked through the profits of the glass factory. It was indeed quite gratifying. The revenue in the past two months has actually increased by more than 50%. Wuzhi Xiaoji and others have done a very good job.

"The main reason is that the human resources in the mainland are relatively cheap. If the same thing is produced in Japan, labor costs will account for a large proportion, but production in Panshi can save us more than one-third of the production costs. In other words, if the same products we produce are sold at the same price, they will be more than 30% more profit than Japanese companies." Wu Zhi Xiaoji did not count all the credits on his head, but analyzed objectively.

In fact, from the 1990s to the early 2000s, the country played the role of international factories. Investors from all over the world regarded the mainland as cheap production bases and dumping markets. Many large companies facing bankruptcy relied on China's huge market to revive, such as many companies in South Korea and many companies in the United States.

It’s not that the senior executives of these companies are so far-sighted, but that when the political environment is not very relaxed, they enter the Chinese market with a dead horse as a living horse, but they did not expect that they would become the big winner in the landing war, which made other peers who later entered the Chinese market regret it.

However, during this period, many problems also arose in China. Due to insufficient government financial resources, many traditional scientific research projects did not receive financial support, and many research institutes were forced to dissolve or semi-disband. Researchers found their own way out, and many people went abroad or changed their careers. The original strategy of self-reliance was mainly used to introduce technology from abroad to a large number of foreign ready-made technologies. In this way, for a considerable period of time, there were very few domestic scientific research projects with independent intellectual property rights.

In many important projects, the country needs to rely on other countries' core technologies. The so-called independent intellectual property rights are just some irrelevant auxiliary projects.

Fan Wubing believes that if it were not because some local leaders were eager to achieve success in their political achievements and one-sidedly wanted to improve local GDP numbers, but instead adopted discriminatory technology introduction, the situation would be much better than this, and what was worse than this was the betrayal of resources and the plunder of rare domestic resources for those vicious foreign capital was almost more fierce than when the Eight-Nation Alliance snatched the treasures of the Old Summer Palace that day.

Human resources are of course also a main direction for their focus on exploitation, so that there are many sweatshops near the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. Capitalists from Taiwan, Hong Kong or other countries will not regard mainland workers as people at all. Many domestic OEM international brands basically hide bloody sins behind luxury.

Of course, Fan Wubing also knew this very well, that is, there are very few workers in the sweatshops belonging to the Yangtze River Delta or the Pearl River Delta, and most of them are migrant workers who have moved from inland provinces. Because they lack survival factors, they have become the main targets of cruel exploitation of international capital.

If their local employment environment will become better, I believe that many people will not be willing to leave their hometowns to earn hard-earned money of hundreds of yuan a month. For this reason, they have to work more than fourteen hours a day and even have to work overtime endlessly.

Fan Wubing did not think about whether he could change this phenomenon. He did not think that he had this ability. This kind of thing could no longer be changed by how much money it was, but had to fight against a large group of interests. He did not think that he had this ability, had this obligation, and had the need to fight against these vicious capital for a false reputation that he might never get. Moreover, this kind of behavior is mostly uncomprehensible.

He just wanted to use his influence to make the rock and the sky a preliminary prosperous inland province. As a model for an inland province, everyone can see that their hope is not just going south or moving east, but even if they take root in their hometown, they will have a chance of success.

"How is the market development in Europe?" Fan Wubing asked casually.

Some time ago, Wuzhi Xiaoji has been committed to developing the Japanese and American markets, which has already influenced the results, while the situation in the European market is more complicated. In fact, Europe is the traditional consumption area of ​​crystal products. This market is very large and its purchasing power is quite strong. If you can successfully get involved, the benefits will be greatly improved.

"I guess I have to deal with it in Europe." Wu Zhi frowned when he mentioned the European market.

Compared with the openness of Americans, Europe is basically very conservative, especially in their traditional advantageous projects, such as crystal products, of course, are the first choice for Austrian products. However, in fact, although Austrian crystals are well-known, their production capacity is not very sufficient, and their quality is only slightly better. In many products, the quality is comparable to that of Panshi Glass Factory. Despite this, not many Europeans will choose crystal glass products from China, which seems to be a sneer from others.

"This matter is indeed quite troublesome, but there is no solution. We can use a roundabout way." After learning about this situation, Fan Wubing felt that Europeans were a little stupid, but he had to face this reality, but he still had a countermeasure.

"What should I do?" Wu Zhi's small machine suddenly felt enlightened. If the problems in the European market can be solved, the business of the glass factory will undergo earth-shaking changes, and profits are more than just doubled.

Fan Wubing thought for a while and said, "Don't they like Austrian crystals? Then we will go to Austria to acquire a company, then produce it on an OEM basis, and sell it in the name of an Austrian company. Wouldn't this solve the problem? Anyway, as long as the OEM company is ours, the profits of this part cannot be eliminated."

Uh, Wu Zhi Xiaoji considered it and said, "But if this happens, our company will not be able to make a name for itself? This does not conform to the general business operation strategy! You must know that first-class companies make standards, second-class companies make brands, third-class companies make markets, fourth-class companies make products, and fifth-class companies help others make products. Do you do this, are you asking us to build fifth-class companies?"

Fan Wubing shrugged and said, "I have never discovered that why are you so stupid? Where are the standards in the crystal glass industry?! It is just to do the best, but it is just to build a brand! We set up an Austrian company ourselves, just operating the brand, but the brand and the product are built separately. If our brand is famous in the future, we can carry out secondary development. We can continue to operate it ourselves, or package it and sell it on the market. We can attack and defend it, and what else is there to be dissatisfied?"

"So you are holding this idea, now I understand." Wu Zhi's little kid finally figured out Fan Wubing's idea. After all, although Fan Wubing said that he did not seek fame but only seeks profit, in the end, he would still gain both fame and fortune.
