Moving her body and changing to a more comfortable sitting position, Tang Jiayi picked up a plush puppet casually.

Kneading the round face of the purple-haired monkey with both hands, she suddenly said: "Speaking of which, it is still good to open a garment factory in Bangladesh, with a large population and low wages, convenient transportation by sea, and easy management for religious women, and it is indeed a general trend for the garment industry to move there." I was almost fooled into going to Bangladesh to open a factory. ”

"Huh?" Atletico raised an eyebrow, "and what's the matter?

The two of them have their own careers, and it is not necessary or possible to keep track of his wife's whereabouts at all times, but he still knows the general situation, and he has no impression of this at all.

"Isn't it unsuccessful?" Tang Jiayi was also a little embarrassed when she mentioned this topic, "At that time, I was still too naïve, and many other parties took it for granted, and they just wanted to go out when their brains were hot." It wasn't until I had endured a few hardships that I had a long memory...... Hey!"

Food, clothing, housing and transportation belong to the absolute rigid demand, the market capacity is very huge, and the entry threshold is still very low, which is the first choice for many people to start a business. However, too many players also make the competition extremely fierce, and it is better to say that once the scale is expanded, all kinds of blows will come one after another.

Tang Jiayi started from costumes and COS costumes, and the initial development was smooth, but when her ambitions swelled to move towards a bigger stage, she soon found that trouble came to her door, "Original design, fabric procurement, supply management, staff recruitment, production management, these must be paid attention to, as well as the most important sales logistics, no matter how good the product is, it is only an inventory number, and I am worried when I look at it." I personally stare at these things are not very stable, if the factory is put abroad, the language is not understood and the customs are very different, if there is another local old immortal, it will make you anxious every minute!"

"It's not right for you to think so," Atletico stretched out his hands and said: "As soon as the demonetization order came out, the sales of mobile phones increased several times, and the mana of the old immortal of Mo was still very strong!"

"Do you really think so?" Tang Jiayi obviously didn't believe it, and put on a skeptical expression of "Are you having fun?"

Just recently, India's new prime minister suddenly made a big move, announcing that he would stop the circulation of old 500 and 1,000 rupee (about $15) banknotes, and ask everyone to take the two banknotes to exchange them for new ones by the end of the year. After this year, these two banknotes will be waste paper.

The reason why it came out of the blue is to crack down on corruption, tax evasion and illegal money. These two large-denomination banknotes account for 86% of the country's currency circulation, and the demonetization campaign will allow the government to quickly identify private assets and squeeze out the massive amounts of cash controlled by the "bed banks" and "crockpot banks", thereby fighting crime and tax evasion.

The wish is good, and the effect is also there, but the "labor pain" is too strong.

Time is tight, tasks are heavy, bank employees are tired and vomiting blood, and ordinary people are also suffering from all kinds of eggs. The development of electronic payment in India is slow, the vast majority of consumer transactions occur offline, and even sixty percent of the people do not know what the bank is, and so on, resulting in the accumulation of a large amount of cash by the people. In order to prevent the cash in hand from turning into waste paper, people have to deposit it in the bank as soon as possible or simply spend it, and Atletico Madrid's multi-fold increase in mobile phone sales is a by-product of this wave of "year-end binge".

For mobile phone manufacturers, this wave of sales peaks is completely the result of taking medicine, and it is not sustainable. Because the available cash in their hands is also losing rapidly, the old banknotes need to be deposited in the bank, and the new banknotes are replaced by returning users, and there will soon be a dilemma of no money to pay salaries.

India has many restrictions on foreign imports of mobile phones, and the best-selling mobile phones on the market are assembled locally, and the main sales method is also offline retail, whether it is to pay wages, buy accessories or sell change, it requires a large amount of cash.

However, India's banknote printing factory forgot to open the hanging, and there are 24 billion old banknotes that need to be withdrawn from circulation, pulping and papermaking, and the new banknotes used for exchange are still in a state of ink, and the bank has no money and can only exchange a limited amount, resulting in a short-term "money shortage" for the whole society.

The only happy ones are electronic payment and e-commerce companies, whose performance has skyrocketed several times in an instant, and will continue to do so for a long time.

"Bee mobile phones are not produced in India, they can only be retailed online, and the demonetization order is a heavy blow to offline channels, but it is very good for online. ”

"Hey, it turns out that you don't have a backache when you stand and talk?" Tang Jiayi couldn't help but stab the other party back.

Atletico spread his hands, "You can understand it that way. ”

Taking a breath, she asked again, "Could it be that you really don't care about the offline market over there?"

With a population of 1.2 billion and a smartphone penetration rate as low as 10 percent, even if most people can't afford to buy mid-to-high-end models, this market is huge enough! Even if we can only sell through online platforms, we can export millions of mobile phones to India a year, and our purchasing power cannot be underestimated. Speaking of this, Atletico shook his head, "Unfortunately, bees are different from other manufacturers. ”

"How is it different?"

"Dear, have you forgotten our operating system?"

"Android and iOS have a large share and many users, and developers around the world are happy to develop apps in various languages for them. But Bee OS is more embarrassing, most of the applications only support mainstream languages such as Chinese, English, Spanish, etc., and the support for local languages in India is not very good. ”

"Don't all Indians speak English?" asked Tang Jiayi.

"Even though English is the official language of the United Kingdom, many Scots, Northern Irishmen and Welsh people still insist on using their Gaelic and Celtic languages, let alone India, which is not the official language? As long as the educated people can almost know a little English, it's no problem to know 'ABC, AreYouOK?', but the number of people who communicate fluently and use it every day is much smaller," said Atletico, tilting his head, "otherwise our phones will sell more!"

"India is actually a combination of the British, and the vast majority of Indians are still more accustomed to using their own national language, which can be seen from the language of Indian films, Bollywood uses Hindi, Tayllywood uses Tamil, Monlywood uses Bengali, 80 million Telugu people in the south also have their own films, and other major ethnic groups also have their own film bases. ”

"We have no choice but to increase the encouragement of multilingual applications, strive to have a large number of applications in these mainstream languages, complete the localization of the application first, and then consider the localization of production and sales, otherwise we will repeat the mistake of Microsoft. ”

"Aren't you afraid of delaying too long and missing the opportunity?"

"No, our OEM partners have already been familiar with the situation, and we don't need to get the 18 official languages of the federation in India at once, and we will give priority to promoting one if we get one, so we don't need to rush. ”

Although its own production capacity is getting larger and larger, Bee Mobile's demand for OEM capacity is still strong, and it also maintains good relations with major OEM companies. Now that these companies are moving to India to take advantage of the abundant and cheap human resources nearby, it will be convenient for bees to make mobile phones locally.

"Yes, it's not easy, you must not be impulsive, otherwise you will regret it!"

Atletico looked at his wife, "What do you have to say, tell me your story?"

"It's nothing, it's just paying tuition," Tang Jiayi said lightly about the many problems encountered in the development of Guyunzhai.

She said it very briefly, but the story behind it was very complicated, but Atletico Madrid knew that the other party was hiding a lot, although it was not to the extent of being stormy and ragged, but it was not close to light-heartedness.

"It seems that I don't care enough," Atletico said with some emotion as he reached out to his opponent.

"You've helped me a lot, not only helping to build the IT system, but also giving priority to providing advertising and promotion resources," Tang Jiayi smiled, "What else can I do?

"This seems to be a good idea, but you can barely accept it, wife, right?"

"I don't want it! These things don't have any technical content, and they don't make any profits, so it's better not to do them than to do them. ”

"That's right!" Atletico echoed and patted her on the back, and comforted: "If you feel tired, let it go, it's not difficult for us to be ourselves, it's a big deal that I will support you!"

Hearing this, Tang Jiayi suddenly raised her eyebrows, climbed onto the sofa, and looked down at him: "Just you?"

"Uh-huh!" Atletico raised his chin and pointed his left thumb at himself, "Of course my income can afford you and the children." ”

"And!" spit out the word disdainfully, Tang Jiayi smiled and stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers: "Children's clothes, toys, snacks, my clothes, cosmetics, water, electricity and gas networks at home, maintenance costs, labor costs, as far as your salary, are you sure it is enough?"

"Uh-", the smugness on Ma Dong's face instantly froze.

Although he also received salaries from companies such as the Research Institute, Bee Heart Semiconductor, Bee System, and Pony Vehicle, all of them did not add up to much money.

Looking at the world, the salaries of business bosses are often not as good as those of professional managers in the industry, and they have no chance of being "gold collar". The reason for this is naturally because it is profitable, and lowering the maximum salary can control the scale of remuneration and reduce tax expenses, and the most happy to increase corporate profits is naturally the bosses who are major shareholders.

Also because of reasonable tax avoidance, bosses usually do not withdraw their income, and they can borrow money for a short period of time if they are really in a hurry, and the interest is much less than taxes. Atletico do the same, and they don't have much cash in their personal accounts and often need to borrow money to spend.

This will not affect the standard of living, but it leaves a sore foot of "the salary is not enough to support the family", and then Tang Jiayi took the opportunity to catch it and said it to her face.

"Flutter!" Seeing someone deflated, Tang Jiayi smiled proudly, and waved her hand generously, "Don't worry, I will hand over more household items in the future, and I won't make it difficult for you!"

"Haha!" this time it was Atletico's turn to laugh, pointing to the leather bag on the table, "With your little salary, I'm afraid you can't even afford a seasonal bag, right?"

This lady is also a big boss who often borrows money, and because of the traditional industry and few part-time jobs, her salary income is much less than that of Atletico Madrid.

With a big red face, Tang Jiayi angrily threw the short-haired monkey in his hand to Atletico Madrid, "Yes, this little salary is not enough to buy a bag, how can you talk about supporting your family?" Now I will apply for a salary increase in the name of the general manager of Jiajing, Mr. Executive Director, are you allowed?"

Although there are more and more assets, the structure of Jiajing is still the original mom-and-pop shop, and the couple each takes half of the shares, respectively as executive director and general manager.

"Of course!" Stretching out his hand and patting his thigh, Atletico readily agreed, "Yes, I will report as many as I want!"

Tang Jiayi was about to speak, but suddenly the cries of her own children came from her ears.

"Daddy, Daddy!" the four little ones ran in and pounced on Atletico Madrid, "I'm going to ride a big, a big!"

Atletico didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Tang Jiayi beside him.

The little ones were also very awake, and noticed that their mother's face was not good, so they quickly changed their target and threw themselves into her arms and shouted and coquettishly, and finally got the permission of the other party to go to the activity room to ride the big for a while.

"Alas, you just get used to them!" Seeing Atletico standing up and carrying the child and about to go out, Tang Jiayi couldn't help but say.

"There were no conditions before, but now that there are conditions, it is natural to let them play enough!"

The so-called big rooster is a bipedal handling robot developed by the Bee Research Institute, which looks a little like a smaller robot ostrich and has a typical leg anti-joint structure.

The anti-joint structure is relatively simple and easy to implement, which is more suitable for mass production of robots, and there are many robot dogs and robot birds at home and abroad to use this design, and there are more in science fiction works. As a leading institution in the field of robotics, the Bee Research Institute has also built many bipedal robots for research, and this little ostrich is one of them.

These robots are only used for internal research, and occasionally put a video to earn some clicks, but they don't want to be favored by the director team of the Spring Festival Gala, so they specially contacted Bee to want to use it as a topic to come up with a high-tech program. Boss Ma himself has not watched the Spring Festival Gala for many years, but he also knows that the brand value and communication ability of the Spring Festival Gala are still huge, so he readily agreed to the invitation, specially asked people to transform their appearance according to the requirements, and made feather coats and draped them on the robot birds, and dressed them up as big roosters that can carry children to dance, which is used to highlight the theme of the Year of the Rooster.

The robot rooster used to perform the show has been sent away, but Atletico Madrid "intercepted" four of them and put them in their own activity room for the four snack goods to ride and play. The one-meter shoulder height of the horse is still too high for the little ones, but these big roosters that are less than half a meter tall are just right.
