Chapter 67 If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain
"Boss, I think we should take as many shares as possible in these scrap car dismantling companies in the future. On the way back, Rosemary made her own suggestions to Chen Geng.
"Oh?" Chen Geng replied, motioning for Rosemary to continue.
Rosemary said with emotion: "To be honest, I never thought that these old scrap cars and accident cars would be so valuable before, I always thought that these things could only be sold for scrap iron, if you didn't bring me into this industry, I can't imagine that a pile of scrap iron can be sold for thousands of dollars." ”
As a country on wheels, as early as the thirties and forties, the United States basically completed the popularization of automobiles, but over the years, these scrapped old cars and accident cars are basically the fate of entering the steelmaking furnace to re-smelt molten steel.
Rosemary admires Chen Geng the most, what kind of keen insight is it that a gold mine that Americans have not noticed for decades has been discovered and successfully discovered by her boss?
"Hehe......" Chen Geng was quite complacent about this: "In fact, these scrap iron can only be sold for so much money in my hands." ”
Although Chen Geng's words were boastful, Rosemary didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and she continued: "There are no giants and capital entering this industry now, and our actions have not yet attracted the attention of these giants and capital giants......
Chen Geng: "Based on this judgment, do you think we should invest as much as possible in the scrapped car dismantling companies in the United States?"
"Yes, then we can at least have a head start. ”
"You're right, it's not impossible to buy shares," Chen Geng nodded with a smile: "But forget a very important factor, a factor that capital giants and giants will never enter this industry." ”
"What?" Rosemary was a little curious, a little unconvinced: what else was there that I didn't expect?
Chen Geng gently spat out a word: "labor cost." ”
Rosemary suddenly realized: yes, labor costs, she really forgot about this factor, and even the core factor that restricts the development of this industry in the United States.
Labor in the United States is very expensive, to be precise, very, very expensive, a truck driver's monthly salary may be more than twice that of a white-collar worker in an office, this may sound a little incomprehensible, dirty truck drivers can not only compare with neatly dressed white-collar workers, but even earn more than white-collar workers? But this is the American fact.
The bosses of scrapped car dismantling companies in the United States knew that they could sell the intact parts of those old cars and accident cars at a better price, but no one did so, why? Because the labor cost is too high, it only costs more than $700 a month to hire a security guard, but a technician who can skillfully disassemble car parts does not have a salary of $1,200 and does not even think about it.
But what kind of technician can you hire for $1,200? You can only hire a raw melon egg who has just come out of technical school for less than half a year, who is required to work only six hours a day, has two days off a week, does not work overtime, and must have air conditioning in the workplace.
In fact, strictly speaking, the Chinese mechanics hired by Fernandez are not cheap, but they have one good thing, that is, they work hard during their own working hours and never cheat, which is much better than these American technicians, these Chinese technicians do more work in four hours, even more than those local American technicians do in six hours.
Rosemary thought for a while and said, "But this is also a restriction for us, even if it is a Chinese with an extremely bad economic situation like our company, there are not many in the entire North American region, right?"
"What if I say that in half a year, at the most nine months, I can find at least 1,000 workers who work eight hours a day, six days a week, and take the initiative to work overtime after working every day and on weekends?" Chen Geng suddenly lowered his voice: "The point is that the salary will not exceed 1,000 US dollars." ”
"This is impossible!" Rosemary even forgot that she was in the car now, and subconsciously got up suddenly, her head hit the roof of the car with a loud bang, although the tears of pain were about to fall, she still covered her head, with a face of "Don't bluff the old lady, the old lady I don't believe it!" expression: "There is absolutely no such cheap American mechanic in this world!"
"That's right, the United States doesn't," Chen Geng nodded: "But there are outside the United States." ”
Rosemary suddenly understood what Chen Geng meant, and suddenly realized: "What do you mean...... Bringing in skilled workers in foreign countries?"
"yes, what do you think?"
"Not very good," Rosemary smiled bitterly, "Boss, with all due respect, it may not be a problem for you to bring in a small amount, but if you introduce too much at once, the government will not approve it." ”
"Why?" Chen Geng couldn't understand, he had been preparing this plan for a long time, but now Rosemary told him, your idea doesn't work at all.
Chen Geng couldn't accept it.
Rosemary looked at Chen Geng in surprise: "You don't know?
Chen Geng laughed embarrassedly, and he couldn't blame Chen Geng for saying it, when did Boss Chen be a human being, when did he deal with such a "grassroots" thing.
Looking at Chen Geng's appearance, Rosemary was speechless: Your old man is really an ancestor, and he doesn't even know this.
Speechless, Rosemary still has to explain the relationship to her boss: "For the public, what do they care about the most? is their own job, that is, their own right and opportunity to get an income, for us, foreign workers can help us effectively reduce costs, for domestic workers, they may be not satisfied with a salary of 1500, but for many foreign workers, they are very, very satisfied with giving them 500 dollars." ”
"Yes. Chen Geng nodded, that's what he thought.
But for these lazy insects at home, "Rosemary, who exists as an elite, does not hide her contempt for the American grassroots:" They think that the arrival of these foreign workers has robbed them of their income, so they don't care that we only pay foreign workers $500 and do more work than they do on a $1,500 salary, they just think that their jobs have been taken away by foreign bastards, and these bastards have in their hands what the damn politicians value most: votes!
So for the import of foreign workers, those damn politicians take it very seriously, I don't know what the ratio of local and foreign workers is for specific labor positions, but in the scrap car dismantling industry, the number of foreign workers is definitely not more than 40%. ”
"So little?" Chen Geng was surprised.
"That's as much overestimation as I can, in fact I don't think it's more than 30 percent, and those damn politicians would rather give these precious jobs to the damn niggas than to the hard-working foreign workers. Rosemary was full of resentment about this regulation of the US government, and in her opinion, all American workers who could not work well for the capitalists should die.
"That's ......" Chen Geng's brows furrowed, this contradicted his previous plan, but ......
"It's okay," Chen Geng smiled, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said, "Although it's a little troublesome, it's not a big problem." ”
“......”
Rosemary didn't speak, just looked at Chen Geng.
Unable to stand Rosemary's gaze, Chen Geng coughed: "Since we can't send foreign laborers to the United States, we might as well change our thinking, why can't we send the cars that need to be dismantled abroad, and let the foreign workers dismantle them and then transport them back?"
it!
Can you still do this?!
Rosemary was directly shocked by her boss Qingqi's brain circuit, but the next moment, she threw herself into her boss's brain admiration: Yes, since foreign workers can't come to the United States, then let's send our raw materials to the country where the workers are located.
If the mountain doesn't come to me, I can't go to the mountain yet?
"Boss, how do you have this brain?" Rosemary was really convinced by the flexibility of her boss's mind: "Why is it that for others to think of something that can't think of a solution, it is no different from drinking water to you?"
"Hah...... Maybe this is the gap between geniuses and mediocre talents," Chen Geng laughed twice, and changed the topic: "By the way, I have something to tell you." ”
"What?"
"Next week, at most next month, I will go to Africa and Asia for a round, I'm afraid it will take almost two months to go out this time, and the company's affairs will be handed over to you," Chen Geng said: "Help me take care of my home." ”
Chen Geng's original intention was to let Rosemary take a good look at her home, but Rosemary thought crookedly and nodded heavily: "Boss, thank you for your trust...... Rest assured, I will help you manage your company. ”
She thought that Chen Geng was doing this in order to better establish her authority.
Chen Geng opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and still decided...... Let's let this misunderstanding continue.
At this time, Chen Geng's eldest brother rang loudly.
As soon as the phone was connected, a voice that was impressed by Chen Geng's impressed voice sounded from the receiver even if the voice of an analog mobile phone in this era was extremely distorted: "Mr. Chen, I'm Ding Haijun, is it convenient for you to speak now?"
Chen Gengqing couldn't help but sit up straight: "It turned out to be Deputy Director Ding, convenient, of course convenient, do you have anything to do?"
