After Gu Kun's righteous and awe-inspiring words were finished, how else could the guests present react?

There seems to be no other option.

Everyone is a drama spirit, and a series of heartfelt praises detonated in an instant.

"Mr. Gu, you are really a moral model in the field of contemporary humanitarian attention!"

"I have finally seen it today, and there are still people who are so indifferent to fame and fortune whether they won the Peace Bomb Award or not. ”

"It's so admirable to be focused and pragmatic, indifferent to fame and fortune, and still insist on inspecting the front line and fighting on the front line with ordinary soldiers on the award day!"

Gu Kun smiled and shook his head, waved his hand humbly, and gave in for a long time, and explained for a long time, more earnestly than the three words before Pi Yan's generation was given by Zen, and finally stopped this unhealthy trend.

Gu Kun finally tilted the building back, and solemnly suggested: "Everyone is too prestigious, let's get down to business, didn't we just talk about our five countries' joint and synchronous commitment to provide basic medical insurance and work-related injury accident insurance for their own fishery employees, let's continue to talk about this topic."

I know that it is indeed a bit rushed, but this time, with the complete eradication of the production mode of fishermanship in Indonesia, the pressure on the cost of seafood export trade in the 10 ASEAN countries will also be reduced, which is a golden opportunity. ”

It turned out that before the arrival of the two Malay directors, Gu Kun was already talking about this topic with the Thai and Filipinos.

Improving labor security will definitely increase production costs. However, compared with the rise in costs, everyone is more afraid of "the decline in the international competitiveness of domestic related industries after the rise in costs", that is, after domestic goods become expensive, foreign goods do not become expensive, and domestic goods are more difficult to sell.

However, as long as there is a good opportunity to ensure that everyone in a competitive circle improves protection and increases the price together, then there will not be much loss of share.

Gu Kun also seized this rare opportunity and used his personal international prestige to force this matter, so that all parties could dispel some worries.

The Thais took the lead in saying, "But what if the Burmese and Vietnamese don't listen? ”

Gu Kun made a gesture of deterrence: "Don't make such an excuse! Burma's seafood products only trade with India and Bangladesh for a short time, and their products have no possibility of entering the markets of China, Japan, and South Korea at all! As for the Vietnamese, they are simply closing themselves off from the rest of the country, and their products have not entered the international trade supply chain. ”

Thai representative: "What if the situation in Vietnam changes in the future, and their bargains come in again to grab business? And the most important thing is that many Vietnamese people come to our countries to work as illegal workers!"

After a lot of rhetoric, in the end, it was the Filipino who was more cheerful and accepted Gu Kun's proposal for humane attention.

Thailand and Malaysia, on the other hand, have more or less secured preferential retention clauses within a certain scope.

The main reason is that "employers are exempt from basic health insurance for workers on fishing vessels registered in the Indian Ocean", which means that employers along the Indian Ocean are still allowed to exploit their workers as brutally as in the past – but at least no worse than in the past.

To tell the truth, it is not the Matai government that causes the miserable situation of the fishermen in those areas, but the life of Ah San is too cheap. In the face of Ah San's competition model of "the life of the first top does not need money", the Thai people take the lives of fishermen along the Indian Ocean coast too seriously, and they can't rob Ah San's business.

Another exemption is that the parties promise that in the event of foreign trade reform and the entry of Vietnam into international fisheries competition in Southeast Asia in the future, the parties will renegotiate unless Gu Kun can persuade Vietnam to join in.

and for the next 10 years, the above-mentioned compulsory insurance for fishermen will be limited to fishermen of all nationalities. If it is a black worker who is smuggled from Vietnam, there will be no additional punishment than the current one if he does not have insurance.

All agreements will go through the domestic process and will come into force on January 1 next year.

On the Lantian side, Gu Kun only came forward to mediate and assist in the negotiations, and it was still Lanland's Foreign Minister Tang Jia who signed the negotiations.

Things have come to this point, and Gu Kun's performance is over. I heard that the Peace Bomb Award has been received, and there is no need for Gu Kun to open more new pits, as long as the pits that have been dug are filled in from the beginning to the end.

……

During the negotiation of the terms of fishery labor security, Gu Kun also provided buffets, cocktail parties, and rest and entertainment for guests from all walks of life on board. After all, people are flesh and blood, not iron, and negotiations are so tiring, it is time to relax, eat, drink and play, but it is still not saved.

Yang Shuying, director of the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of Malaysia, seized an opportunity to talk to Gu Kun Chen Qian about other cooperation when it was the first self-service afternoon tea.

(The heads of the agriculture ministries in the other two countries also came with Ms. Yang, not with officials from their own ministries of labor.) There is one group of people who talk about labor issues, and another group of people who talk about fishery issues, and the matter of insurance just now is talked about by the labor ministries of various countries)

"Mr. Gu, we know that you must be very busy and tired, and you shouldn't have bothered you when you had a break in negotiations. However, since the accident of the Australian KG Group. The direct economic losses of the seafood industry in several of our countries are still relatively large, and you have to come forward to make decisions for you in some things. Yang Shuying found a more tactful way to speak.

Gu Kun was sitting on the side, dealing with a plate of dried steamed crab roe and a bowl of poplar nectar, enjoying his afternoon tea. I saw several foreign fishery officials come up and wipe their mouths politely:

"I haven't cared about business for a few days, KG Group, I remember the last time I saw its stock price before I set sail to suppress the bandits, it seems to have fallen from a market value of 7.5 billion pounds to 2 billion pounds, right?

Yang Shuying sighed and shook her head pessimistically: "It's not just a matter of dropping three-quarters of the market value, it's that simple." To tell you the truth, in the past few trading days, the market value has fallen by several hundred million pounds, and it would be good to have 16.7 billion left by the end of the month.

This is not the most troublesome, the key is that we have heard some news from the industry, mainly about some major shareholders behind KG who originally did not do anything, and they are ready to find a way to completely cut the meat and withdraw their capital, so that the new management can carry out the liquidation of the company and completely abolish this brand. ”

Gu Kun was actually quite happy to see this result in his heart, but his expression still had to pretend to be surprised: "Are you so pessimistic? That's right, you're talking about liquidation, not necessarily bankruptcy, right." ”

"It's liquidation, the kind of peaceful dissolution of the company, dividing the net assets, and starting anew. Yang Shuying patiently explained.

Gu Kun nodded, this is easy to understand.

Not all companies are closed in an insolvent manner, and they can also be closed voluntarily before their net assets exceed their liabilities. The situation that KG-SeaFood is facing today is because the major shareholders feel that this signboard is too smelly.

This situation is somewhat similar to the liquidation of the subsidiary that produced Corona beer in 2020 - the company that produced Corona beer was not dissolved due to insolvency, purely because the word corresponding to the trademark and brand "Corona" was completely the same as the English name of a new virus, so sales plummeted to zero after the outbreak of the plague.

The shareholders also felt that the reputation of the "Corona" brand would never be restored in the future, so before the net assets were burned to the point of insolvency, the decisive strong man broke his wrist and liquidated it, and changed to a new brand and a new company to do it again. ("Corona beer" can be translated as "crown beer" in Latin paraphrase, Corona is just a transliteration)

KG Group has nailed the pillar of shame of "the world's last international fishing giant to use slavery production methods", and the stock price has fallen like this, the brand is really nothing to regret, it is better to be reincarnated.

“…… This makes sense, but what problems do you want me to help you solve?" After clarifying the cause and effect, Gu Kun also looked kind and seemed to be very talkative.

Yang Shuying had obviously also discussed with her counterparts in several other neighboring countries, and those neighboring countries also nominated her as a representative to negotiate with Gu Kun, so she said a little in a big way:

"You know the relevant industry situation, Australian dragon, white oysters, and several other high-end seafood varieties that are more common in Australia, in fact, because of the relationship between ocean currents and hydrology and climate, the territorial waters of Malaysia, India, the Philippines and Pakistan also have a certain amount of output, which can add up to about 20% of Australia's production capacity.

However, the brands of our countries are not as loud as Australians, and foreign consumers think that Australia is a developed country, and Australia's specialty products are of relatively high grade and are willing to pay high prices. If we export locally, we can only sell it at a discount of at least 80%, or even 7% off.

After our negotiations, we do not want our businessmen to suffer these additional losses, so we hope that the entire ASEAN Fisheries Industry Association will take the lead in defining a few new species, and in the future, we will call them 'Lanfang Red Dragon', 'Lanfang White Oyster', 'Lanfang XXX' and other naming formats, so as to resell high-end goods at a good price. ”

Gu Kun nodded slightly, for this kind of operation, he also understood in principle.

A bit like some associations in China that have the right to formulate industry standards in later generations, after discussion, "rainbow trout" is also classified as "salmon".

The industry standard-setting association can define new subspecies in business, and operate and prepare for the establishment of some new geographical signs.

The original valuable things, because the category name stinks, further subdivides, and it is understandable to mark out the non-smelly ones.

And to tell the truth, the "Australian Dragon" produced by the Banda Sea and the Arafura Sea, strictly looking at the indicators, is indeed slightly different from the Australian Dragon produced by the coral sea. Now to separate this category, both legal theory and industry technical analysis are tenable.

Just like the French only sold "French oysters" in the early years, but later they had to separate the more expensive "Lyon oysters" and "Provencal oysters" from French oysters, which is not wrong, these are indeed the products of further subdivision of French oysters.

After Gu Kun figured it out, he finally asked with confirmation: "I have already understood the principle, but why do you have to call it 'Lanfang Red Dragon'? It is possible that the territorial waters of Malaysia, India, Pakistan, and the Philippines can produce this kind of red dragon in small quantities, but our Lanfang territorial waters do not have it." ”

"But your Lanfang country now gives the world the impression of high-end luxury, gorgeous and noble, and only by calling it 'Lanfang Red Dragon' can it be sold more expensive and better storytelling than Aolong! In terms of luxury and high-end stereotypes, except for a few Middle Eastern oil countries, who can compare with you?" Yang Shuying patted her ass sincerely.
