Chapter 42: I'm Just Doing the Same Thing
"Mr. Zheng, please give me a little time to think about it, and I will give you an answer before dinner. β
Eric put away the contract, his face was gloomy like water, and after he reluctantly smiled at Zheng Jia, he hurriedly left with his entourage.
However, he didn't notice it himself, and he unconsciously used honorifics when he spoke, which was the difference in status between the two sides.
When the representatives of the other three companies saw this, they also put away their contracts and left, and it was better to be cautious in the face of this kind of thing.
In the conference room, only Zhang Tao and Chen Li were still sitting there.
"Mr. Zheng, does your chairman really agree to such a contract?" Zhang Tao felt unbelievable, Cheng Yuan's delicate and shy appearance really couldn't see that his heart was so dark, could this be that people can't look good?
Zheng Jia raised her eyebrows, nodded naturally and said, "This is natural, Manager Zhang can go back and think about it, there is still time." β
After getting the answer from Zheng Jia, Zhang Tao was silent for a moment, and then reluctantly said: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, I'll think about it when I go back." β
Zhang Tao took Chen Li away.
Only Zheng Jia and Guo Xiaolian were left in the conference room.
Guo Xiaolian looked at Zheng Jia hesitantly and said, "Mr. Zheng, will we be too much like this?"
It is rare for the boss's little girlfriend to ask, Zheng Jia naturally wants to explain it well, she shook her head with a smile and said, "Pass?"
"Xiaolian, I thought the same as you at the beginning, I felt that such conditions were indeed too harsh. Zheng Jia sighed and was silent for a long time before he said firmly: "But when you think about the labor force of those well-known foreign companies for our lowest-level workers in China, you will find that we are already very merciful!"
"Xiaolian, your parents are also ordinary factory workers, how many hours do they work a day, and how much salary can they get in a month?" Zheng Jia suddenly asked.
Guo Xiaolian frowned, not knowing why Zheng Jia asked this question, but she thought about it and replied: "My parents' monthly salary, including overtime pay, adds up to more than 5,000, working twelve hours a day, and having three days off a month. β
Zheng Jia nodded and said, "Your parents add up to more than 5,000 salaries, and each of them only has a salary of more than 2,000 yuan a month, which is only sixty or seventy yuan a day, which means that your parents' work is only about six yuan per hour." β
After calculating the hourly wages of Guo Xiaolian's parents, Zheng Jia said: "However, the profit brought by their day's work to the factory is more than 60 or 70 yuan. Why is it that the factory does not reduce the workload or increase the wages of the workers while bringing in such high profits?"
"Have you thought about it?" Zheng Jia turned her head and looked at Guo Xiaolian seriously.
Guo Xiaolian shook her head, she felt that it was very good to have a job at home, where would she think about it so much. It's better to have a job than to have a job, otherwise how would his parents support her?
Seeing this, Zheng Jia didn't care, because she also knew that in order to support their families, workers would work hard as long as they had a job, and they would not consider these or care about them. Whoever gives the money, they do the work for whomever they want.
It's like the old saying, "If you are not in office, you are not in power." β
"But does this have anything to do with us?" Guo Xiaolian was puzzled, she felt that Zheng Jia had said so much, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with this harsh contract.
"Of course it matters!" Zheng Jia smiled and touched Guo Xiaolian's black and soft hair, and said, "Do you know Apple?"
"Yes. Guo Xiaolian nodded, now apples are so popular that they almost replace the noun of that fruit, basically as long as they don't say the word apple in the vegetable market, everyone will associate it with electronic devices.
Zheng Jia continued: "Apple has a huge market in China, and there are countless foundries in China, and every year they earn tens of billions of dollars from China, and only 0.05% of these tens of billions of profits belong to grassroots workers, and millions of workers share this 0.05 profits, and everyone gets a salary similar to your parents' salary, and most of the profits will be shared by Apple and his suppliers." β
Zheng Jia's words made Guo Xiaolian even more confused, why did she get to the apple again. "What's wrong with Mr. Zheng today, is it too busy that you haven't had a good rest recently and started talking nonsense?" Guo Xiaolian stared at Zheng Jia suspiciously, and didn't say what she thought in her heart.
"Maybe you still don't understand why I'm saying this 'nonsense' that I don't have. Zheng Jia looked at the dazed Guo Xiaolian, smiled and said his purpose directly: "Although you may not believe it, what I want to do is the same thing that Apple is doing now." β
"They use our low-cost workers in China to create huge wealth for them, and we also use the same means to let their country create the same wealth for us!" Zheng Jia gritted his teeth and said this, his eyes were extremely determined!
Why is this phenomenon caused by the backwardness of science and technology?
Now that Huaxia finally has the technology to surpass them, if you don't slaughter them fiercely, you're really sorry for yourself!
As for their unwillingness?
Zheng Jia smiled coldly, as long as it is profitable, no one will be able to endure this cake!
Guo Xiaolian looked at Zheng Jia blankly, she realized that Zheng Jia's idea was so crazy, but I have to say that she agreed with Zheng Jia's idea very much, and she didn't know and didn't have the ability to do it before, so she was naturally indifferent. But now that I have the ability, why don't you do it?
Although their technological crystallization cannot change the current situation in Huaxia, at least they can make the same thing happen in other countries!
"I see, Mr. Zheng. Guo Xiaolian looked at Zheng Jia, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, but she quickly reacted and hesitated: "But, isn't that Zhang Tao from Xiangjiang, can we do the same?"
"Why not?" Zheng Jia smiled and said casually: "All the expenses of the foundry we contacted before are paid by ourselves, we are businessmen, not philanthropists, and your little boyfriend will go bankrupt if you don't have money!"
"Oh!" Guo Xiaolian blushed and nodded.
Seeing Guo Xiaolian's expression, Zheng Jia rubbed the other party's head with a smile and said, "Although I am the president, this plan was proposed by your little boyfriend, and I don't have that much courage." β
"Ah!" Guo Xiaolian exclaimed, and then hurriedly lowered her head, her wheat-colored skin was covered with redness, and her eyes were full of excitement, it turned out that it was her own who did such a thing......
Seeing Guo Xiaolian's shyness and proud demeanor, Zheng Jia could only sigh that this girl's luck, Cheng Yuan's future is absolutely limitless, and as his girlfriend or fiancΓ©e, Guo Xiaolian's future is absolutely dazzling.
"Okay, let's go, tomorrow's press conference can't afford to be missed, there are still a lot of things we need to do. Zheng Jia smiled, and then took the lead and left the conference room.
Looking at Guo Xiaolian, who was following beside her, who was obviously unconscious, Zheng Jia chuckled lightly and said secretly: "It's still not mature enough, you have to learn more!"
For those in high positions, emotions must not fluctuate too much, especially outside.
Because only a cool head can keep you from panicking when facing anything.
At the same time, Zheng Jia was even more curious about Cheng Yuan, how could his little boss suddenly use such a harsh contract, didn't he always pay attention to this aspect of things?
If Cheng Yuan knew Zheng Jia's doubts, he would definitely tell her that he really wouldn't pay attention to this kind of thing, but it didn't mean that Zero wouldn't collect such information. In order to give Dabai a reasonable price, Cheng Yuan asked Zero to collect the whole process of those famous technology companies from production to sale on the Internet, as well as the funds consumed by the other party and the profits earned.
Cheng Yuan was originally a young man, impulsiveness must be inevitable, and when he saw such a thing at the beginning of the year, he would naturally feel angry, so he didn't think about making a big change to the contract that Zheng Jia took out to let him pass the purpose, but it turned out to be like this.
As for the price, Cheng Yuan decided to increase it several times according to the domestic price, and the specific amount depends on the manufacturing cost of those foundries. Cheng Yuan will try his best to control the profit between the cost and the selling price, and strive to maximize his own interests, while also making the price closer to the people!
As for the profits that the foundry can share, Cheng Yuan said that it has nothing to do with him, if you want to make money, you will desperately compress the wages of workers or the price of materials, just like the foundries everywhere in China now.
But these are not something that Cheng Yuan can manage, what he has to do is to exploit outsiders like them.
At this time, he was sitting in his office comfortably drinking boiled water, and then looking at the topic of tomorrow's press conference on the Internet. As the countdown to the press conference began, Cheng Yuan had no heart to improve Zero.
He kept thinking about how he should face this press conference tomorrow?
Is it a little more serious, or is it more casual?
