646 [Cultural person Zheng Xuehong]
It is the consistent practice of "Chinese profiteers" to transport Chinese goods to Southeast Asia for OEM and then re-export and sell them to European and American countries.
Because, the certificate of origin can be forged!
Well, it can't be said to be a forgery either. As long as you can afford it, this kind of certificate is definitely very formal, because it is a certificate issued by the official body of the country.
Unless you accidentally make the fake brand bigger and attract the attention of the sufferers of anti-dumping countries, there will be basically no one to take care of it. Xifeng's fake brand in Myanmar is a bit big, so Yang Xin has decided to make a new brand, anyway, he keeps changing the vest.
This trick of Chinese businessmen will continue until 2019 and culminate in the trade war between China and the United States. During the trade war, in order to circumvent high tariffs, Chinese foreign trade exporters frantically used Southeast Asian countries to use illegal entrepot trade by third parties to maintain profits.
It's a pity that there are too many manufacturers doing this, so that the export volume of ASEAN countries has skyrocketed in a short period of time. For example, in Vietnam, in the first quarter of 2019 alone, exports to the United States increased by 40%, which is the lice on the monk's head, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of the United States!
Under pressure from the United States, Vietnam, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries issued statements in the summer of 2019 to crack down on illegal entrepot trade.
Well, it's one thing to say it, and it's another thing to do it. After all, this kind of approach can also increase Vietnam's income, and there are a large number of beneficiaries from both the official and the non-governmental sectors.
Xifeng has to do this, and the Yankees are forcing us to go the wrong way.
For example, several years before China's accession to the WTO, more than 1,400 tons of Jibang canned mushrooms were exported to the United States every year. As a result, the anti-dumping lawsuit lasted for several years, and the production capacity was expanded while paying lawyers' fees, and the lawsuit was finally lost in the first two years, and the annual export volume fell to more than 3 tons in an instant, so I could only change to other canned food.
There are many such canned food companies in Caiyun Province, all of which have declined due to anti-dumping of canned mushrooms, and have either transformed or closed down. The fungus farmers in Caiyun Province lost their blood to the end, but fortunately, Xifeng stood up to take over, and now there are many fungus farmers who rely on Xifeng's canned food to feed.
If Xifeng does not engage in illegal entrepot trade, canned mushrooms will lose even more every year, because the anti-dumping duty rate has been as high as 150%.
What about boiling down American competitors is actually far from being so awesome. The real result is that a bunch of American canned food companies died, and Chinese canned food companies died seven or eight times out of ten, and the surviving Chinese and American companies finally merged. 90% of China's mushroom canning factories can only do OEM for large European and American companies, specializing in the production of mid-to-high-end types of canned food. The remaining 10% of China's own brands can only capture the low-end market in the United States.
This is an 11-year-long anti-dumping case and an 11-year-long market reshuffle. The U.S. canned mushroom companies are so dead that only the Big Three remain, and the local factories are basically closed, relying on Chinese factories to help them do OEM. Only a small number of manufacturers can adhere to their own brands, and they can only take the low-end market route.
Chinese and American manufacturers have joined forces to destroy the canned mushroom manufacturing industry in the United States.
As a result, the bitter master is gone, and the anti-dumping case is over, and if the anti-dumping continues, it will be the anti-dumping of the three canned food giants of the United States themselves. American capitalists are not stupid, they are very good, and they have a lot of fun with knives to kill people.
But at the national level, the canned mushroom manufacturing industry in the United States has disappeared, and there are a bunch of unemployed people in the United States, which has crippled the mushroom cultivation industry in the United States.
……
Yang Xin was very busy, and Chen Tao was not idle. She was promoted last year and now serves as the president and COO (chief operating officer) of Xifeng Group, only one level shorter than Yang Xin, equivalent to Xifeng's second-most powerful person.
The previous COO of Xifeng, who was promoted by Zheng Xuehong, has now absconded abroad and does not dare to come back. This kid holds Xifeng stocks worth more than 3 million yuan, and his annual salary is 800,000 yuan.
Even if you eat a little, his brother-in-law is also greedy, and he actually supplies Xifeng with problematic paper drink packaging bottles!
Last year, four batches of Xifeng's beverages were found to exceed the standard of harmful substances. Although he was pressed down by the crazy money public relations, Yang Xin was trembling with anger and traced it to the COO of Xifeng Group.
Because it involved Zheng Xuehong's No. 1 lineage, Yang Xin asked Zheng Xuehong to solve it by himself.
Zheng Xuehong felt that her face was lost, so she directly chose to call the police and let the judicial authorities intervene in the investigation. The COO got the news and ran away early, and his stock was also harvested, and now he doesn't know which country to hide in. But his brother-in-law didn't run away, the case is being heard, and it is certain that he will go to the class room to eat prison food.
In fact, the COO was also cheated by his brother-in-law, and at most he took advantage of his position to open a company to supply Xifeng "by himself". And I don't eat much, because eating too much will attract attention, and it will be millions of extra income every year. How could he have thought that his brother-in-law was so talented and dared to sell things of substandard quality!
My brother-in-law is also very aggrieved, many of Xifeng's drinks are exempt from inspection, who knows that there will be random sampling in the market? It stands to reason that the sampling will not sample Xifeng's inspection-free products, but it can't stand the official suddenly engage in the "quality travel" activity.
Because of this incident, Zheng Xuehong, who was semi-retired, finally retired completely and only retained his position on the board of directors. Before voluntarily resigning, he also hired a group of retired discipline inspection cadres with high salaries to supervise the internal corruption of the Xifeng Group.
This is how Chen Tao became the president and COO of Xifeng, and her first fire in office was to carry out a vigorous anti-corruption action in the company. So far, four of Xifeng's cadres at all levels have been handed over to the judicial organs, and another 19 have been dealt with internally.
"Thinking of the old lady who loves Tianbo Mansion! Resentful of traitorous ministers before leaving home, cutting off hair in Wutai Temple; unwilling to accompany the king in the court, take off the python robe and change into a robe......
On the stage, the classic Sichuan opera repertoire "Wutai Brothers" is being staged, and Zheng Xuehong shook his head in the audience, singing silently while holding the beat.
This is a large teahouse near the river in the old city, and it is also an ancient building of the Qing Dynasty, which belongs to the municipal cultural relics protection unit. Originally, because of the continuous floods for several years, the local squire raised funds to build the river temple, the main hall is dedicated to the river god, and there is a professional stage outside, which can be used by the villagers to watch the drama and entertainment.
During the period of the Republic of China, it was still a large area of ancient buildings, but later the highway was repaired, and most of the old ones were demolished in addition to the four olds, and the inscription of General Huanzhang was engraved on the stone wall of the east of the temple "return my rivers and mountains". After the reform and opening up, it has become a big teahouse, which is a good place to drink tea and watch plays, and the plaque at the main entrance is the inscription of Zhao Jianye "The First Teahouse in the Southwest".
Now even the Municipal People's Cinema has closed down, not to mention the traditional teahouse?
It has been deserted for many years, and there are occasional cultural groups that come to hold events, and the rest of the time there is not even a ghost to be seen, and the city has to constantly allocate financial funds to maintain it.
After Zheng Xuehong completely retired, he contracted here. The monthly rent is very cheap, only 5,000 yuan can be done, but Zheng Xuehong must be responsible for taking care of this ancient building, which can be regarded as saving the city a sum of expenses.
The big teahouse has reopened, and Zheng Xuehong has also invited the Sichuan Opera Troupe to perform, and even invites famous actors from the provincial capital during the New Year's holidays.
But there are very few guests, because it is too remote, it belongs to the edge of the old town, and even this old city renovation will not involve this place. Fortunately, the tea money is very cheap, which can attract some old men and old ladies to listen to the play, otherwise there are more waiters than guests in the teahouse.
After calculating various costs, Zheng Xuehong's teahouse loses about 20,000 yuan a month.
"I said Lao Zheng, are you going to play these all day now?" Song Weiyang said while drinking a bowl of tea, "I haven't seen you like to listen to Sichuan opera before." “
Zheng Xuehong said happily: "I'm living a chic life. By the way, I am still the president of the Sichuan Opera Association in this city, a member of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles who has a salary and has successfully stepped into the literary and artistic world. ”
Song Weiyang hugged his fists and said: "President Zheng, disrespectful and disrespectful, I can't imagine that you are still a cultural person." ”
"Hahahaha," Chen Tao couldn't help but smile, and said with a hearty smile, "The members of the entire Ichichuan Opera Association are probably all singing in this teahouse." If Brother Zheng didn't throw money at it, they would have to announce their dissolution sooner or later. ”
Zheng Xuehong said: "I call it protecting traditional culture!"
Song Weiyang put down the tea bowl, half-lay on the bamboo chair and said: "If you really want to protect traditional culture, then don't make a fuss here and organize Sichuan Opera to apply for World Heritage Status." As long as you can apply, let me tell you, you are the savior of Sichuan Opera, walking sideways in the entire Sichuan Opera industry!"
"Is that thing easy to apply?" Zheng Xuehong's eyes lit up, he was so sad that his eyes hurt, like looking for something interesting to do.
Song Weiyang said: "You first infiltrate the higher-level Sichuan Opera Association, have a good relationship with various Sichuan Opera institutions, and then have a good relationship with relevant departments." Then set up a World Heritage application fund, throw some money into it, and then find symbolic funds from relevant departments to make the application materials as beautiful as possible. This year, for the first time, the central government proposed to vigorously carry out the protection of intangible cultural heritage, and it is estimated that there will definitely be actions at the local level. Therefore, you will not have your share in the World Heritage application in China, and you will directly apply for the World Intangible Cultural Heritage with Sichuan Opera. If this thing is done, he will properly become a cadre of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles. ”
"The world's intangible cultural heritage, it's a bit difficult. Zheng Xuehong was a little worried.
Song Weiyang said: "The Kunming District has been successfully applied for the World Heritage Site in several years, why can't Sichuan Opera? Especially our change of face, if you directly lead a troupe to perform abroad, those foreign devils will definitely be scared." ”
"Hey, that's kind of interesting. Zheng Xuehong said happily.
Zheng Xuehong is rich now, and he can cash out hundreds of millions of yuan in stocks in minutes, and he gets a lot of dividends every year. But he thinks he is a big boss, and he doesn't bother to be a representative, so he wants to improve his image and taste.
Golf or something, Zheng Xuehong also tried, but he really couldn't arouse interest. He doesn't like to drink red wine, he can't get used to Western food, and he is even more blind when collecting cultural artworks, so he started with his favorite Sichuan opera, and by the way, he also made friends with a few local calligraphers and painters.
If you can enter the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles as a cadre, you will definitely have an identity and face, and everyone will have to shout "Teacher Zheng" when you go out.
Song Weiyang said again: "By the way, it's not interesting for you to open a Sichuan Opera teahouse here, and there are only a few old men and old ladies every day." The Kuanzhai Alley on the side of Rongcheng is almost completed, and you can definitely make money by renting a mansion in the Kuanzhai Alley and operating it for a period of time. ”
"Okay, it's all up to you. Zheng Xuehong said with a smile.
In fact, Zheng Xuehong was cheated by Song Weiyang this time, even if Kuanzhai Alley was advertised on CCTV, there were few tourists at the beginning, and every family along the street was trembling - fortunately, the rent was very cheap at the beginning, otherwise all the merchants would be scared away.
As soon as the play was finished, Zheng Xuehong slipped away.
Chen Tao put on a coat and went out, stretched his waist and said, "When you finish the company's affairs after the Spring Festival, you will accompany me to Hong Kong City for a trip." I was busy for most of the year last year, and I didn't have time to go shopping in Port City. ”
"Okay. Song Weiyang said with a smile.
