In this era, foreigners can't go out casually, otherwise they must be accompanied by a special person. And in the Western countries, which are particularly powerful in demonizing China, once they go to China, they also dare not go out casually. So in order to reduce trouble, Jing Jian simply came to the foreign-related hotel where he stayed with Jensen.

Unexpectedly, Jenson was following an American delegation, and there were quite a few people, more than a dozen. The reception was actually the Ministry of Foreign Trade and a local foreign economic cooperation commission, and the level was not low, and even a director of the Ministry of Foreign Trade was specially sent to lead a team to accompany the delegation to play and shop. Therefore, when they heard that Jensen was going back to the hotel, they specially sent the female translator to accompany them, and also arranged another small car, and even acquiesced to Jing Jian's existence.

Skip all the way back. It's nothing more than the concentration of the driver's eldest brother and the watchful eye of the female translator, Jing Jian and Jensen, who are making some innocuous jokes. From those jokes, Jing Jian learned that this was an American investment delegation, composed of some small and medium-sized enterprises, and was invited to China through intergovernmental contacts.

As for Jensen, he's actually one of the bunkers. Jenson is a member of a family business in the eastern United States, but his status in the family is not very high, so this time he came to China to let him see and play. To put it simply, Jenson is a dozen soy sauces.

This acquaintance can be said to be purely accidental, and Jing Jian will not have any other purpose. And Jenson is purely here to eat, drink and be merry. So the two of them let go very quickly. After returning to the hotel, I came to the western restaurant attached to the hotel, and soon finished ordering, of course, it was Jenson who was treated.

“…… Actually, we don't need to argue. Glancing at the sparse restaurant, Jenson drank an aperitif, "I went to Vietnam back then, and you played the same Vietnam." I hate the bugs over there, well, and of course the monkeys. As for North Korea, to hell with him!"

"But you lost, we won. Jing Jian smiled and clinked glasses.

"Okay, okay, but those are all decided by stupid politicians. Jensen shook his head regretfully and said "thank you" to the waiter who brought the soup, "You can't deny that my old blood is full of good guys. Even I took two purple stars and one bronze star. What about you?"

Jing Jian smiled and took a sip of creamy seafood soup: "If I take less, just one, which is equivalent to your silver star!"

"Hell. Jenson laughed, "That's sad news." ”

In fact, Jensen has already won the respect of Jing Jian, judging from his medals, he was wounded twice in battle, and he is at least equivalent to China's third-class merit, and he is also quite a brave soldier. So he smiled and comforted: "Actually, it's almost the same, we don't have the brave men of the Medal of Honor (equivalent to China's combat heroes)." ”

"Ahh There weren't a few of them left. Cheers, live for us. ”

"Cheers!"

……

Gradually, the two talked about Jensen's trip to China.

“…… IMHO. Now I'm a businessman, and all I'm thinking about is making money. I can't decide for sure, but I think the outlook is pessimistic. ”

"Oh?" the knife and fork in Jing Jian's hand paused, "Didn't you just say that you have basically reached the investment intention, and your family is ready to invest?

From the small talk just now, Jing Jian already understood it more clearly. In fact, Jenson's U.S. investment group is composed of more than a dozen small and medium-sized enterprises. The finished products they produce are small machinery, and these small and medium-sized enterprises are responsible for a piece, some are responsible for motors, some are responsible for assembly or something, forming a complete industrial group, which are all affiliated enterprises. In other words, if you invest, all of these companies will invest, and if you don't, not even one of them will come.

At this time, it can be regarded as the honeymoon period of Sino-US relations. Both countries are encouraging exchanges in various fields, including economic cooperation, and have even introduced a number of encouraging policies.

In the international industrial circles, Dongying has sprung up, and together with Europe represented by Germany, it has taken advantage of low costs and low prices to continuously encroach on the industrial share of the United States. As a result, many small and medium-sized businesses in the United States are having a hard time.

In this way, there are both internal and external stimuli. Therefore, the U.S. investment group has actually decided to invest. Anyway, China's labor cost at this time can be called pitiful, at least it can greatly reduce the cost, right?

Since the investment team has decided to invest, Jensen's family business will definitely invest, and Jensen will also be in charge of the future Chinese factory.

Jensen's future role is actually that of the general manager of China. To be honest, with Jenson's status in his own family, it can be said to be quite rare. Generally speaking, Jensen is not full of confidence, is he, at least not as he is now, is he, Jing Jian is still a reborn, and he understands very well how amazing China's future development is. But why? Why did Jenson miscalculate so differently?

So now, Jing Jian is very curious about Jensen's thoughts, and Jensen's answer is really a bit unexpected: "I don't know if you know anything about business?"

Jing Jian put a piece of beef in his mouth and nodded: "I understand a little." ”

"If you understand, you should understand that cost, market, this is the key. The melodious sound of the violin sounded in the dining room, and the young female violinist reveled in it with her eyes closed, and her technique was masterful. However, now, except for Jing Jian and the two of them, there are no other customers in the restaurant, "I have inquired about the industrial situation here, and even inspected it with my own eyes, and there are too many things missing." Even if there are very few of them, the quality does not meet the requirements, and the gap is quite far away. And we are making finished mechanical products, which need as little as a few thousand, and more than tens of thousands of spare parts. If all of these need to be imported, it will already offset most of the reduced labor costs. ”

Jing Jian nodded and made a gesture for Jensen to continue. A figure flickered at the door of the restaurant, and the corner of his eye swept over it, and it turned out to be the female translator.

"There is also a market. When our products are shipped back to the United States, we will not be able to sell them at the right price without mentioning the shipping cost, just because of the origin. Do you understand? Printed made in China, even the normal price is difficult to sell, you must lower the price, very low. I'm worried that users will accept it, or even that they are willing to believe in those inferior products. ”

Not to mention those emotional words, Jing Jian already roughly understood what Jensen meant. Without the support of upstream and downstream industries, JENSEN can only rely on imports and exports, which will increase a lot of costs. Therefore, Jensen judged that at this stage, from the perspective of cost, it could not be reduced much.
