Chapter 240 The sacrificial knife doesn't matter whether it makes money or not
Gu Kun is quite thin-skinned, and it's really embarrassing to be flattered in front of someone.
But after a few seconds of adapting, he felt calm.
Taking a closer look at Director Yang Shuying's words, it seems that they are not excessive flattery. What she said are all the truth.
Nowadays, in the surrounding areas of Southeast Asia, or even enlarging the scope to include the entire South Asia, East Asia, and Oceania, which other country is creating the personality card of "our country is a country known for its local tycoons and high-end people"? Played better than Lan Fang?
there is none left.
The Japanese, and even some Koreans, may occupy the upper reaches of the contempt chain in the brand mind in the field of cool electronic products, but in terms of other products without technological content, in terms of giving people a high-end feel and high-end style, they really can’t compete with Lan Fang. Compare.
There is no way to compare Australia and New Zealand. Australia and New Zealand don’t even have high technology at all. They are just two agricultural countries. The Chinese cultural circle’s high opinion of Australians and New Zealanders is completely due to the groveling literati who led them in the past. The rhythm brings it out. Look at their top five export trades every year, beef, milk, mutton, wool, lobster. With this industrial structure, do you dare to say it is developed?
If we really follow the standard of "even if per capita is rich, as long as there is no technology or high-end industries, it cannot be considered a developed country", there will be doubts about whether Australia and New Zealand are worthy of being considered developed countries. For example, Brunei's per capita GDP is three Forty thousand dollars, but Brunei has never been considered a developed country.
Therefore, as long as his peers support him and unanimously recommend Gu Kun as the "Martial Arts Leader", not to mention that in the future, the concept of "Blue Fang Red Dragon" will be better than "Austral Dragon" in the Western market, but there should be no problem in the Chinese cultural circle.
This middleman's business of making profit from the price difference is obviously good, and if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.
Gu Kun discussed with the other party for a while, and his attitude softened obviously. He only considered the last few detailed operational issues and discussed:
"In principle, I agree with the relevant industry associations on the Lan side to cooperate with you. However, since we have no relevant specialties in the territorial waters of the Lan side, I still feel that it is easy to make up this blatant fabrication given time.
After all, Internet media is not as easy to control as traditional media. Even if no one in the Chinese-speaking Internet circle dares to write anything like "Lanfang's industrial model is starting to bottom out and revealing its secrets". That's just because the Internet is entering a cold winter. , if the cold winter passes in a few years and it returns to the state of hundreds of flowers blooming, I won’t be able to control it.”
Yang Shuying Director Yang has obviously considered this issue, and finally proposed a compromise: "Mr. Gu, how about trying this: Malaysia, and even the four countries of Indonesia, Philippines, and Papua, delineate a portion of their respective borders In the territorial waters of the country, fishing boats with Lan Fang licenses are allowed to enter and carry out fishing operations.
However, it must be a combination of person and photo. That is to say, when we conduct fishery inspections, we must ensure that the captain of the boat is indeed a citizen of Lanzhou and that the fishing boat is registered in Lanzhou. Only when both conditions are met can we give national treatment. .This amount is acceptable to our four countries.”
Gu Kun's eyes lit up slightly, and he felt that this Malaysian female secretary-general really had a good mind, and the idea she came up with was indeed the best of both worlds.
Originally, all countries must absolutely protect the fishery resources in their territorial waters and exclusive economic zones. If they see foreign ships fishing across the border, they will definitely drive them away.
But Lanfang has a unique advantage, that is, its country is too small, so even if others put it in, even if it is all gone, it will not be much. A big country can withstand it due to its size.
For example, as early as the beginning of Gu Kun's rebirth, the Lanfang passport was the same as the passports of Lijiapo and Brunei, which allowed him to enter China without a visa. It became one of the only four countries in the world that could go to China without a visa at that time.
Lan Fang's fishing boats were also able to freely enter China's territorial waters at that time, but theoretically they were not allowed to fish casually (when Gu Kun was reborn, he undertook the task of transporting supplies in the Weisha Islands, as well as some friendly measures towards China,
For example, turning in the sonar in exchange for a few fishing licenses)
Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia originally had relatively tight restrictions on fishing boats from China, at least more tightly than those from China.
This is mainly because China is far away from Lanzhou, and there will never be more than a few hundred Lanzhou boats that can travel to China. Therefore, in such a large country, hundreds of small foreign fishing boats are not allowed to come in. It can also be used in situations where actual control is insufficient.
Stir the mixed water down to control the drought.
Malaysia and Indonesia originally had to clamp down because Lanzhou was too close to them. Technically, all Lanzhou fishing boats can sail to Malaysian and Indonesian waters, and they were afraid that thousands of ships would come to steal business.
However, at this moment, in order to be able to promote the "Lanfang Red Dragon/White Oyster" brand in the future, Yang Shuying is determined to suggest that this license restriction be relaxed.
Her accounts should be calculated relatively clearly: there are still thousands of fishing boats in Lanfang nationwide, but as Lanfang’s economy becomes more and more developed, its luxury and high-end positioning becomes more and more obvious, and in the future, she will still be able to afford to go out to sea to fish.
There will definitely be fewer and fewer people fishing.
Fishing boats that can sail to the Banda Sea must have a range of at least two thousand nautical miles. There should be no more than 500 such boats in the country. If you further restrict that "the captain on duty must be the nationality of the country", you will be further stuck.
Granted, the number of entries will be two to three hundred in the future.
Allowing two to three hundred small boats to enter the Banda Sea and the Arafura Sea to grab business will have little impact on the original practitioners there. However, it can allow the output of these two seas to be branded from now on.
For more marginal articles, if others can’t accuse you of being fake, then it’s a good deal.
The high-end card of Lan Fang is equivalent to being labeled as "Yangcheng Lake Bathing Crab" by Yang Shuying.
Lanfang in the world of seafood is equivalent to Yangcheng Lake in the world of hairy crabs. If the Lanfang boat comes to circle the Banda Sea, it means that the red lobsters in the entire Banda Sea can be branded as "Lanfang Red Dragon". And the people of Lanfang actually
What can be fished out may not even be 10% of the output in that sea area. As long as the price of the remaining 90% can be increased, it will also be beneficial to neighboring countries. In the future, Chinese Internet trolls will not be able to crack down on counterfeiting.
"Okay, since you have thought about it in so much detail, I agree in principle with this matter, and I will explain it to you. You can discuss the details with the specific experts here. There are specialties in the art."
Gu Kun accepted the other party's conditions very openly.
Finally, it was agreed to send experts from Lanzhou to serve as vice-chairman-level positions in fishery-related industry associations in ASEAN. In the future, the work of specifying relevant industry standards will be left to that expert to issue opinions on behalf of Lanzhou.
.
"Thank you Mr. Gu for presiding over the overall situation for your colleagues from all over the world. Mr. Gu is so open-minded! Let's toast to you!" A group of people begged Gu Kun's subordinates for benefits and also gave Gu Kun a thumbs up.
…
Although he has received the honor, he still has to perform a full set of acting, so Gu Kun continued to take the "Yonghua" to carry out humanitarian and public welfare undertakings in the Banda Sea one week after the confirmation of the award, until after the first week of November,
Then he led the team back to Lanfang.
This also shows that he is not someone who "doesn't bother to do good things once he gets the honor."
The day we returned to Lanfang was November 10th, a Tuesday.
Because there was probably nothing major going on, Gu Kun did not use satellite communication methods to learn about the latest news from the outside world during the past few days on the ship. Therefore, it was not until he landed at Lanfang Port that Gu Kun heard a few recent current events.
The first is the unsurprising voting result in Oceania - history has not changed at all, Albert still lost to George. In the next four years of Oceania, nuclear power will still be in power according to historical inertia. The voting day is November
5th.
However, although the candidate for the leadership has not changed, some other historical details are a bit specious - on November 9, the Nasdaq index in New York fell another hundred or two hundred points.
The range of one or two hundred may not have been much six months ago, but it is now a lot - because after falling another two hundred, Nasdaq finally fell directly below the one thousand point round number mark.
Last Friday, at the close of the last trading day, the Nasdaq index was 1,120 points. However, it closed at 980 points on Monday, a full drop of 140 points. Proportionally speaking, it is equal to the overall decline of the market by 12%, which is already a very exaggerated
.
This day's decline also means that the Nasdaq technology stock bubble bursting process that began at the beginning of the year has completely reached its deepest point (people at the time did not know whether the bottoming was successful, but judging from subsequent historical reviews,
Mid-November will be considered the big bottom for the next two to three years)
From 5,000 points to more than 900 points, almost 80% of the market value has disappeared.
But Gu Kun knew that according to the original development of history, this bottom-building action should have been completed in early February 2001. Now it seems that it is because the bubble was punctured in advance, so the entire downward process was proportionally blocked.
Three months in advance - in the final stage of Bill's term as commander-in-chief, he originally wanted to desperately save the market to cover up the bubble and finally completely burst the bubble until after the handover of the commander-in-chief position on January 20 next year.
But now the difference is at least a few months, and I really can't hold it back, so I lost my temper the moment the successor was selected and the results were revealed.
Anyway, Commander Bill’s deputy, Albert, also lost, so why bother to whitewash the prosperity.
Strictly speaking, when will the Nasdaq fall to the bottom? This matter has nothing to do with Gu Kun. Anyway, he has no new business to buy at the bottom.
The reason why Gu Kun was "forced to open business" and paid attention to this matter was because a company that had been trying to surrender to him before, but never had the chance to completely surrender, finally completed the delivery during this period.
That is Ding Sanshi's Huangyi Company.
Ding Sanshi himself also came to Lanfang in person again to pay homage to Gu Kun after he completely changed his family.
It was November 10th, and Ding Sanshi apparently came after asking about Gu Kun's itinerary.
As soon as they met, Ding Sanshi reported as if he had surrendered: "Mr. Gu, Rupert Murdoch has completely withdrawn from our last stake in Huang Yi. He was frightened by the honor and prestige you gained, and was also 9
The Nasdaq plummeted below the 1,000-point mark and I was frightened.
For him, the difference between getting back half a million dollars, one million dollars, or two million dollars is not big anymore. He doesn’t want to humiliate himself by going against you anymore, and he doesn’t want to see the media in which he holds shares being destroyed.
People resist being deflated."
"Do you know you are afraid? Is it because he knows you are afraid or do you know you are afraid?" Gu Kun looked calm. He was Ding Sanshi who was receiving him in the Zhaoming Palace. There was naturally the power of a superior person in the ceremony.
"He knows he is afraid. As for me, as long as I stop worshiping foreigners and stop messing around with the rhythm, I believe I don't have to be afraid." Ding Sanshi tried his best not to be arrogant or arrogant.
Gu Kun lit up a cigar and asked contemptuously: "What was the price per share of those chips he left last?"
Ding Sanshi whispered suspiciously: "You don't know? Murdoch threw it out, wasn't it you who bought it? Oh, it was President Liang who helped you buy it. You may have been busy and didn't pay attention to the price. In the end, the one sold at the lowest price
A transaction was made at 27 cents per share. Murdoch’s repayment of capital is equivalent to nothing, he just made a clean profit.”
Gu Kun nodded when he heard this, stood up and walked to the window, similar to Pushkin's posture, looking at the sea under the high cliff: "Now that all the money from those idiots in Fox has been drained, you should be a good person from now on."
Ding Sanshi asked cautiously: "In the near future, do you want to... focus on publicizing the new international honors you have received?"
Gu Kun raised his eyebrows: "Do you think your online media still needs such a trivial matter? Renren Daily won't report it? Xinhua News Agency won't report it? Xinhua News Agency won't report it? With your current capacity, look
Which media can have more people than the above?"
Ding Sanshi quickly looked at his nose and heart: "I'm sorry, I overestimated my ability."
Gu Kun patted the other party's shoulder: "Don't belittle yourself. If you really want to show your reformation, even if the big rhythm can't help you, there are still a few small rhythms that can be used for you.
I happen to be here. Recently, the heads of relevant departments from several other ASEAN countries have begged me to engage in some international cooperation - isn't it true that Australia's KG-SeaFood Group has suffered a terrible fall and is on the verge of dissolution and liquidation? I heard that it has already started to seek creditors.
Public announcement procedure. The domestic media doesn’t care much about this matter, so you need to be used.
You Internet companies are at the most suitable pace to bring these gossips about the luxury industry. I will give you half a month to dig up all the dirty information about the Australian seafood industry from head to toe. I don’t need you to spread rumors. It is enough to expose them truthfully.
.
I want to see the "high-end" hypocrisy of Australian agricultural products in the Chinese market be completely stripped away. Not only seafood, don't Australians always claim that they have high-end beef called Wagyu - only the beef raised by the Japanese is called Wagyu, and
Japanese beef has not been allowed to be imported into the country in recent years, right? So there should be no authentic Wagyu in the country.
What the Australians sell is just taking Japanese cattle breeds and raising them in Australia. Even if the breed is right, at least it is not in line with the country of origin. Many novices in the country don’t know this. If you want to make this matter hot for me, at least let people know.
Everyone who is trendy on the Internet knows this.”
Ding Sanshi took the opportunity to learn about some of Gu Kun's recent undertakings. He immediately became more and more awe-struck for Gu Kun's energy and did not dare to disobey him. He just had one last point that he did not understand:
"But it's easy to understand why Australia's seafood is completely ruined. If you mess with their 'Wagyu'... you can't replace them, right?"
Gu Kun chuckled: "Do you know what establishing prestige is? To establish prestige is to tell the world that whoever I want to be defined as humble will be defined as humble. As for whether I can provide that nobility myself, it doesn't matter."
