Chapter 489 - Visiting Abroad
Ma Siyuan, Zhu Feng and others have been in Africa for a year, and their first station was South Africa.
Located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, this country has a much better climate than China's coastal cities, making it a great place to live. It is pure to say on the Internet that Africa is so poor because it is too hot there for labor.
Not to mention the southern and central countries, but also the northern African countries, the temperature is actually about the same as the coastal areas of China. Because of industrialization, China's coastal areas are even hotter, not to mention the Turpan region.
Turpan is so hot, you see, it's not very well developed.
If there were no ethnic issues, the development of Turpan would definitely be better.
South Africa is also the only developed country in Africa, but after the colonizers left, because of the mismanagement of the South African natives, it has regressed into a developing country, which can be called a strange phenomenon in the world.
You must know that South Africa is very rich in resources, and if it is operated by Chinese, it is impossible to regress. I don't know whether to say that Uncle Africa's life is good or bad, occupying such a large piece of fertile land but being so poor.
South Africa is generally very wealthy, but the gap between rich and poor is particularly large.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Ma Siyuan and others, they are just here to do business.
The problem is that South Africa is not good at business, and these uncles and aunts do not have the life of democracy, but they have the disease of democracy. Everything is learned from the Western democratic system, and the quality of the low-level staff is not high, but the requirements are very high, and if their conditions are not met, they will go on strike.
The cats' branch in Africa strikes twice a year, which makes Ma Siyuan anxious.
Although the Investigation Department had fully investigated the situation and business experience of South Africa before coming here, it did not find more problems. And some problems cannot be avoided by reading the research report, especially Chinese who are not accustomed to the democratic style.
Ma Siyuan really wants to bring people from China to work, but it is impossible to use Chinese to do business here. The local government needs the help of the company to improve the employment rate, and you will be asked to hire local people.
South Africa is good, but other countries in Africa are even more unbearable, difficult to develop, and need to develop.
It took Ma Siyuan a year to finally gain a firm foothold in South Africa, and then he will develop in neighboring countries. There are many, many tests waiting for him, and Ma Siyuan can think of it with his ass, and it will only be more difficult for many years to come.
However, despite the many problems, after patience and perseverance, he also earned more than 20 million yuan in a year. The profit is certainly not comparable to that of China, but no matter how small the fly is, it is meat, so the headquarters and himself believe that we should insist on developing in Africa.
Ma Siyuan hopes to become the company's top leader in Africa, a place with a lot of potential and a lot of potential. If one day in the future, he can sell cats to all countries in Africa, he is definitely a strong general of the company.
Especially after Hang Yu divided the shares, although it was not much, it made Ma Siyuan see hope. I know that the future will be more difficult, but Ma Siyuan is full of energy, and his management team is the same.
Because there are many problems in Africa and they are busy, they can't go home for the Spring Festival this year. Not only the people in the African branch, but also the management of the purchasing points in some other countries, there are also many people who cannot go home for the Spring Festival.
The headquarters is relatively stable, and Hang Yu decided to go abroad a year ago to visit the staff from all over the country.
From Japan and South Korea to Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, the Philippines and other countries, and then to Europe and the United States and other countries, Hangyu has walked a circle. However, I just went to my own procurement point to inspect and condole, and I didn't go to travel, so I didn't feel anything special.
Before I went abroad, I always felt that the moon in foreign countries was relatively round, and after I went abroad, I found that it was just like that.
The same reinforced concrete, the same passer-by appearance.
Don't be limited by those European and American models on the Internet, the appearance of passers-by in European and American countries is actually lower than that of Chinese... The white man is really pretty, but not pretty, and that kind of face looks strange.
And even if the yellow race looks average, the face is softer and not too ugly. Moreover, it is popular in European and American countries to eat fast food, hamburgers, pizzas and the like, and the number of fat people is much more than in China.
Arriving at the purchasing headquarters in Singapore by car, Hang Yu got out of the car and saw two rows of staff at the gate, lined up neatly, Su Juemin and Jing Jing were waiting in the middle of the door.
"Hello chairman!" the staff said in unison.
"Hello everyone. Hang Yu beckoned to both sides, feeling that this pomp was a bit too much.
Hang Yu is not a person who likes to engage in pomp, his first thought is to let the staff come out to greet him, which will affect his work. But think about it again, after all, I came to a foreign procurement point for the first time in a few years to inspect, and the time to prepare for it was nothing.
Most of the staff at the procurement point are recruited locally, and they have only seen Hang Yu's videos on the Internet and the company's publicity, and the first time they saw a real person, they all felt very novel, admired or admired.
"Chairman, welcome to the Singapore office. Su Juemin walked over quickly and shook hands with Hang Yu.
"Well, it's pretty big here. After Hang Yu shook hands with him quietly, he looked up at the company building and felt quite magnificent.
The building was built by the company itself, with a total of 17 floors and a large warehouse behind it. Because Singapore has the largest volume of goods, there is a very professional procurement team, distribution department, and a total of more than 730 employees.
Walking into the building, Hang Yu visited various departments and said some words of encouragement to the staff.
Although the official language of Singapore is English, most of the people here are Chinese, so it is easy to communicate in Chinese. It is no wonder that Su Juemin wants to set up the procurement headquarters here, in addition to the concentration of goods, it is estimated that language is also a very important reason.
Hang Yu went to a purchasing store in other countries before, and it was difficult to communicate with the local staff.
Of course, a person with status like Hang Yu will be welcomed no matter which country he goes to. Even in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, the local staff also admired him, and language could not hinder the charm of Hang Yu.
"In addition to our goods, there are also many goods from Singaporean daigou here. There are a lot of purchasing agents here, large and small, so their goods are also very messy, and we need to classify and collect. Su Juemin said.
"Well, the second-hand market will be opened soon, and the distribution task will definitely be heavier at that time. Hang Yu said.
"I have already read the report, and according to your requirements, it is necessary to build a quality inspection workshop and a new warehouse. However, the quality inspection plan has not yet come down, and we don't know what equipment to buy and how much land to buy, so it is not easy to implement it for the time being. Su Juemin said.
"The quality inspection plan is more difficult to do, we have to collect all kinds of second-hand equipment and components from various countries to study the appropriate quality inspection plan. This is no small project, and even if a component only needs one device to inspect, it will add up to a lot of equipment. Hang Yu said.
"That's troublesome, and it's better to simplify it. Su Juemin said.
