Zhou Qingfeng carried out reforms in Tianyang to lay the foundation for future development.
Mr. Watanabe of the Japan External Trade Organization was not idle either. He dressed up as an old engineer and took a plane to Tianyang. When he stepped out of the cabin, he saw an extremely simple local small airport in front of him.
"This is the shabbiest airport I have ever seen. The highways in California are more beautiful than it." Qin Hao followed Watanabe and stood on the top of the boarding car and looked around.
Tianyang Airport is indeed small. It used to be a military airport with simple facilities. Later, it was converted from military to civilian and became a local airport. But it is still small after all and can only take off and land small regional passenger planes.
Behind Qin Hao, Karl, a German with a fat belly, also came out dragging his suitcase.
He muttered in English: "Watanabe, are you sure this ghost place is the source of smuggling prohibited items? Is the inside information wrong?"
"Shut up. Don't talk about smuggling from now on." The little old man Watanabe lowered his voice to stop Karl from talking. He looked left and right.
The flight attendant of the passenger plane was laughing at the door of the cabin, trying hard to please these foreigners. Nowadays, there are really only a handful of foreigners who can fly to Tianyang.
"Remember, we are foreign technicians coming to work in Tianyang. Don't expose your true intentions when you go there." Watanabe felt that he had made a big mistake and should not have brought these two idiots with him.
After discovering that high-end machine tool tools and analog-to-digital conversion chips were no longer imported into the country, many foreign trade agents in the imperial capital immediately began to investigate the reasons behind it.
The Japan External Trade Organization pays special attention to the domestic technological situation, especially the progress in high-tech. This is not only a commercial matter, but also related to military and politics.
The current domestic internal affairs committee is like a sieve, with confidential information flying everywhere. Many people find ways to go abroad and are easily bribed to steal secrets and hand over the information.
It took almost no effort for Watanabe to determine that the country was not technologically advanced, but had obtained a large amount of prohibited items through special channels.
But where do banned items come from?
The number of people who know Zhou Qingfeng is very limited, and it is relatively confidential. But it is unusual for multiple ministries and commissions to suddenly have a preference for the "Shengguang Group" in Tianyang City.
The old Japanese man Watanabe also collected information from many aspects, and he keenly discovered that this company suddenly appeared like a comet and rose rapidly.
For example, a large number of "Motorola" Chinese pagers have recently appeared in the Imperial City. They have good performance, are cheap, and are in stock.
It is roughly estimated that this batch of goods has sold more than 100,000 units. The market in the Imperial City was instantly saturated, and second-rate dealers have begun to distribute goods to surrounding cities.
In order to make money, Gong Wei's marketing department has expanded its business to Shanghai.
But Motorola's commercial agent swears to God, it can be checked on the customs import and export list. They definitely don't sell such a large amount in China.
This was definitely smuggled in.
As for who smuggled it, it is actually quite easy to find out. With so many people involved in the business, the dissemination of information is uncontrollable.
Watanabe determined that the Holy Light had made huge wealth through smuggling. He even found out about the Holy Light Entertainment in Hong Kong, read comics with the "Holy Light upskirt" logo, and also enjoyed the popular TV series "Holy Light" that was popular in Southeast Asia.
Underground tapes.
This is all public information, and as long as the intelligence network is large enough, it can be easily checked. Even the profit amount of 'Holy Light' can be estimated.
Since it is smuggling, there must be a hidden source.
Watanabe believed that there was a real black hand behind the "Holy Light". He went to HK, but the "Holy Light Technology (hk)" was just an empty shell.
On the other hand, there were rumors that Mr. Zhou of the 'Holy Light' had great supernatural powers and was not easy to mess with. This strengthened Watanabe's determination to conduct an in-depth investigation - he must find out the truth.
But if he really wanted to investigate, Watanabe found that this matter was quite troublesome.
Nowadays, foreigners cannot run around the country casually and must report to relevant departments. Wherever they go, which hotel they stay in, which route they take, and everything they do, they all need to report.
But Watanabe is not without a chance.
Because of Zhou Qingfeng's large investment, Tianyang City obtained more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars in foreign exchange. Although the money had to be turned over, the city still bargained for the foreign exchange to be used to import some equipment.
For example, the city printing factory wanted to buy another color printing production line - printing "environmentally friendly" comics was really embarrassing, but Zhou Qingfeng gave too much.
‘Environmental protection and entertainment’ have become a sunrise industry with great potential for development, and the city has decided to focus on supporting its development. It advertises that culture is the key to revitalizing the city, but in fact everyone knows that ‘environmental protection’ is the key to revitalizing the city.
The color printing production line is relatively complex, unlike a machine tool that can be moved alone and work alone. It is also heavy, and Zhou Qingfeng's transportation quota is limited, so he did not think of getting one from the e-commerce level.
I didn’t do too much research in the city. The ones sold before were Japanese products, so this time I just bought the same imported ones.
The agent for this set of color printing equipment is hk company. Zhou Qingfeng is upgrading Tianyang's manufacturing industry. He not only needs technical personnel and advanced equipment, but also better management personnel.
Management is a major flaw in the country.
A big reason for the good economic development in coastal areas is that foreign businessmen have brought not only capital and technology but also modern management.
I have to mention Foxconn again here. Many people think it is a sweatshop that squeezes workers, but Foxconn has indeed done a great job in improving production efficiency.
Zhou Qingfeng can still find many talented people with great skills in China. But when it comes to managing factories and transforming enterprises, he really can't find talents.
During this period, domestic business tycoons all invited foreign senior managers to give lectures. For example, the legendary CEO of General Motors, Jack Welch, was paid an appearance fee of up to one million US dollars.
Welch's big move was to lay off employees, streamline the organizational structure, sell non-core businesses, and focus on research and development. However, China was too backward at that time. After returning to the United States, he commented that domestic entrepreneurs were like "acting".
Zhou Qingfeng also suffered from the fact that he did not have qualified managers, and no one could apply the thick ISO standards flexibly. He made a request to HK's commercial agent to help him find outstanding managers.
This request was learned by Watanabe. He immediately recommended himself and asked to come to Tianyang as a quality control engineer. Because he had worked for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for more than 20 years and was very familiar with corporate management.
Karl, a German, is an expert in vocational education. His original job was to train skilled workers.
As for Anderson Qin, this guy with yellow skin and white heart became a foreign media reporter and applied to Tianyang for interviews.
Everything was ready, so the three brothers took the opportunity to appear in Tianyang together.
Because he was a foreign guest, the city took it seriously and specially sent someone to greet him. Although Watanabe was very polite, he said he was not tired at all, "I want to work as soon as possible to release my abilities.
I will let the workers in your country understand how a modern enterprise operates as soon as possible. Please let me go to the factory."
After Watanabe finished speaking, he bowed ninety degrees. The comrades in the Foreign Affairs Office were shocked and they also bowed. You and I bowed. In the end, I felt that my waist could not bear it.
When the situation was reported to Zhou Qingfeng, Uncle Zhou only said one sentence: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and run around. The city battery factory is reorganizing, let Mr. Watanabe do it."
Karl, the German, is going to a technical school. I urgently need a group of skilled workers with professional abilities. As for that Anderson, I didn’t invite this guy, so he has to pay for it at his own expense."
