Chapter 366: The aftertaste of feelings
In January 2001, the new president of country M, Xiao Bu, entered the White House and declared that China and Mand were "strategic competitors," but soon after, he formally signed a document granting China the status of "permanent normal trade relations." China-M relations have experienced ups and downs, including conflicts and cooperation.
Since the beginning of 2001, China-M relations have been uncertain. When he ran for president, he promised that he would take a "tough" policy toward China. He said that China's weekly trade surplus of $1 billion with country M must change.
Many people believe that this is a sign that the relationship between the two countries is beginning to change, and the M empire has begun to regard the country as a potential competitor, not just an object that can be cooperated, after all, the domestic volume is too large, once the economy begins to develop rapidly, it is really very large!
As we all know, China is a big importer of high-quality iron ore, the reason is very simple, because although the domestic iron ore is widely distributed, but the vast majority of it is poor iron ore, with the increasing scale of the domestic iron and steel industry, the demand for iron ore is getting bigger and bigger, and from the cost or environmental considerations, the import of iron ore is undoubtedly more suitable, and then the dependence on foreign countries is getting bigger and bigger, and Australia, as the world's largest iron ore export country, bears more than 50% of China's iron ore imports. Australia is also sitting on the ground to increase prices, followed by those iron ore companies are very good, the stock prices of these companies have also begun to appear different from other companies, and even led to the market value of other companies in Australia to follow the rise, and in the past few years, Zhao Song Group has been continuously absorbing the shares of Australian iron ore listed companies, and due to the poor corporate efficiency of the previous iron ore companies, most of the stocks are lying on the ground!
Because Zhao Song Group has been quietly absorbing, even absorbing in the downward trend of stock prices, now it has finally ushered in above the cost price. When Zhao Hong saw this report, he had already left Haishi to stay at the headquarters of the Gangcheng Company.
Zhao Hong has not come to Hong Kong City for several years, taking advantage of the new president of Hong Kong City Trading Company to take office, on the one hand, on behalf of the headquarters to announce the appointment, on the other hand, to gather with old friends in Hong Kong City!
With the continuous expansion of the scale of the original trading company, the number of personnel continues to increase, just a trading company occupies the third floor of the office building of the headquarters of the port city, and the personnel has reached nearly 500 people, dozens of departments, so there are still some employees out of the trading company.
The newly established trading company is responsible for the operation of the supermarket, especially the logistics and warehousing management. This is also one of the company's future development directions, but it is still unable to enter the mainland market, but it can be used as a base for cultivating talents......
After entering the villa in Hong Kong City, Xiao Wanting began to look around, and said as she walked, "Oh, hey, it's really good! It's still a seaside villa! The two bosses are living a very nourishing life here, right?
Zhao Hongle stayed aside, he couldn't say anything, everything was wrong.
Guo Yi smiled and said, "Sister, I'm envious and jealous, why don't you come over too! This is his house, how can there be no room for you?"
Zhao Hong hurriedly agreed, "Isn't this all up to everyone, isn't my head of the household just a name?
Xiao Wanting said helplessly, "You, you will be a good person, and mud." Forget it, I guess you won't be able to live in this place for long. ”
Chen Xiaomei, who came with her, asked a little strangely, "Why? Our family has been here for more than two years, so it's very good here?"
Guo Yi said helplessly, "Xiaomei, haven't you noticed that the current port city is different from before, especially in recent years, the changes are very obvious. ”
Seeing that Chen Xiaomei was a little confused, Zhao Hong went on to explain, "In recent years, the port city has become more and more like the mainland. Our foundation here is too shallow, if it is just the general development, it must have no impact, but now the scale of the company has been very large, the future will be much larger, here is not particularly suitable, the talent is good, but other aspects are too bad, especially the cost of operation. For example, in the opposite Shenzhen market, both land and human resources are much stronger than those of Hong Kong City, land is cheap, and human resources are quite different. ”
Guo Yi also explained, "Actually, when we went to Shenzhen to buy a house, didn't we predict that there would be such a day? Of course, some employees should still be retained here to be responsible for the external part, and the degree of openness here is much higher than that of Shenzhen Market!"
The villa has always been cleaned, regularly come to clean, the windows are open, and the sea breeze outside blows in, which makes people feel refreshing, some hot, and some damp.
When everyone puts down their luggage, there is naturally a service staff in charge, and everyone sits together on the outdoor tables and chairs in the shade and chats together.
"Xiaomei has been married for a few years, how does it feel? ”
Guo Yi asked with some concern.
"We already have a girl, and she's a year and a half now. There should be another one by the end of this year. It's been two months now. ”
Xiao Wanting also smiled when she heard this, "Congratulations, congratulations, I feel very different from the first time we met, and it is more charming!"
Zhao Hong sat on the side, listened to their chat, took the teapot handed over by the service staff, and gave everyone a cup of tea, although they had lived in Hong Kong City for a long time, but they were still accustomed to drinking flower tea, some fragrance, and some bitter aftertaste, of course, it can also quench thirst. Instead of the kind of kung fu tea here, a small cup, a small sip, very flavorful, just not thirst-quenching!
For this reason, Guo Yi and Xiao Wanting have been used as jokes, and even Chen Xiaomei is a very familiar allusion.
No matter how low-key it is, the scale of the company is getting bigger and bigger, and the influence is getting bigger and bigger, no matter how it is hidden, Zhao Song Group has become more and more known!"
"Sister, what people drink is not tea, but feelings......!
"Oh, this can also drink feelings? Isn't he too affectionate......?
"Sentimental old man" has become Zhao Hong's new name, and even Chen Xiaomei knows about it and gives her a reason to ridicule him.
Only Zhao Hong himself knows that this is not a feeling, but because he has been used to drinking the big jar of flower tea that his parents have received welfare in the summer since he was a child, and he has always maintained this habit, he hopes that he can never forget his original intention, remember that he is the child of a laid-off worker, and he was also a laid-off worker in his last life.
You can't be too proud, and you don't dare to forget your roots!
