"In addition to the problem of eating, in fact, the environment here is okay. As a veteran, Zhu Feng can adapt to all kinds of difficult environments, he continued: "Zambia's neighbors are not so good, our staff there are all bitter, and they dare not go out at night. ”

"It's true that when opening a branch in a backward country, staff safety and food are a big issue. Fruits and vegetables are too expensive, and to meet the nutritional needs of employees, the expenditure on food and beverage alone is about 10 times higher than in China. I have heard that some compatriots are growing vegetables in enclosures in Africa, so we simply buy some farmland and grow our own vegetables and breed them ourselves, which can save a lot of money in the long run. Ma Siyuan said.

"I also have this idea, Meishan Construction Company will also come here to develop, and we will have more and more people. A few hundred people don't have a big impact, but tens of thousands of people eat and drink, and I can't afford it. Hang Yu said.

The price of domestic food is relatively cheap, and nearly 30 million catering expenses are subsidized every month.

In Africa, if the same number of people and the same level of food are fed, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars every month.

Although Hang Yu attaches great importance to food, it is impossible for him to use all the money he earns to eat, so the food here is not as good as in China. This is also the reason why Zhu Feng "complained", he was used to eating and drinking well in China, and he had lived here for a long time and faded out.

"So you agreed. Ma Siyuan said happily.

"Let it go, plan for the future. Hang Yu said.

"Okay, I'll buy him dozens of hectares of arable land to ensure all the company's fruit, vegetable and meat needs. Ma Siyuan said.

"How much is ten hectares of arable land a year?" asked Hang Yu.

"If you don't buy it for a year, you should buy it for at least 10 or 50 years, or even buy a freehold right. One hectare of arable land in South Africa is only a few thousand yuan in ten years, and we don't have to worry about funding at all. Ma Siyuan said.

"It's so cheap, it's too little to buy dozens of hectares, how can you buy thousands of hectares. Hang Yu said.

“...... If there is too much, we will definitely not be able to eat it ourselves. Ma Siyuan said speechlessly.

"If you can't eat it, you can ship it back to China, we have a business platform, and we're afraid that we won't be able to sell it. Hang Yu said.

"Then we have to open a special planting and breeding company, we sell mobile phones, but we don't have the energy to care. Ma Siyuan said.

"You take the lead first, contact me if you need to, and I will send someone from China to help you. Hang Yu said.

"Okay, I'll do my best. Ma Siyuan said.

Hearing Hang Yu say that he wanted to buy thousands of hectares of arable land, Zhu Feng was secretly amazed, and at the same time a little expectant.

With such a vast arable land, you can't plant anything, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future.

"In fact, if you want to do a large-scale planting business, it is better to choose South American countries, where the security is slightly better and the arable land is not expensive. Many domestic companies, including Japan and South Korea, are buying arable land in Brazil, and each purchase is hundreds of thousands of hectares. Ma Siyuan said.

"Well, I'll send someone to contact you when you get back. Hang Yu said.

The reason why we are considering large-scale planting of fruits and vegetables is not only to meet the needs of the African branch, but also to ship fruits and vegetables back to China to meet the needs of all employees in China, so that the catering expenditure will definitely be reduced a lot.

If you can't eat it yourself, you can put it on Jiangnan Mall for sale.

If you can't sell it online, you can open a vegetable noodle chain store, in short, there is a way.

Then Hang Yu and Ma Siyuan learned about the sales of mobile phones, and according to the other party's report, the main sales place of cats mobile phones is only South Africa, and the sales of neighboring countries are not as good as one-tenth of South Africa.

As can be seen from the sales segment, the gap between the rich and the poor in African countries is also very large.

"Our low-end phones are already very cheap, but for people in countries such as Zambia and Angola, it is still a little more expensive, and they prefer to use the very old Nokia phones. In the field of mid-to-high-end mobile phones, we have not yet shown strong competitiveness, mainly because of the small number of mid-to-high-end earners in backward countries, who have identified brands such as Samsung and Apple. Ma Siyuan said.

"According to you, the low-end market is good, but our low-end phones are not cheap enough. The mid-to-high-end market is difficult to enter, and our competitiveness is not enough, so there is this situation. Hang Yu understood.

"Yes, so I suggest the next phone, a lower-end one. Don't touch the screen, just out of the previous kind of full buttons, the key is that the dual card is durable, and the appearance is passable. Ma Siyuan said.

Hang Yu nodded, it seems that he has overestimated the consumption power of the African people.

Think about it, a mobile phone with more than 800 yuan, even in China, many people are reluctant to buy it. Smartphones are also just becoming popular in China, and Africa, which is even more backward, needless to say.

The old Nokia is still very popular all over the world.

"It's embarrassing to not go up or down. Zhu Feng sighed.

Although he is a security manager, the company is doing well, which is also good for him.

Zhu Feng also hopes that the sales company will one day occupy the African market, and his security system will become very strong by then. Especially in this chaotic part of Africa, this is a good place for him to show his talents.

"The main reason is that we didn't understand the market situation here before, and the investigation department went in the wrong direction. After operating for a long time, I realized that this cannot be summed up by a single word poor, but should be divided into extremely rich and extremely poor. In other words, there are fewer middle-income groups here, and our mobile phone positioning happens to be the middle-income group for the people here. Ma Siyuan said.

"Some things are like this, don't do it and don't know. Hang Yu said.

Of course, the post-mortem seems simple, but who wants to get so much beforehand.

When Hang Yu formulated the mobile phone sales plan, it was mainly from a domestic perspective.

And his general direction is three words - low-end.

However, when the middle and low end of the country came to Africa, they were not adapted to the water and soil, and they did not think of the gap between the rich and the poor.

"Go back and write all the findings into a report, and I'll take them back for everyone to study. Hang Yu couldn't think of a good way for a while, because the company's manufacturing level is like this.

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. Ma Siyuan replied.

Then Hang Yu went to see the work of various departments of the company, and overall it was good. Because it is a sales company, the number of employees is not large, and there are only more than 50 people in total.

African uncles and aunts wear formal clothes, they are also human, and their work attitude is okay.

Of course, they will never be able to have that kind of hot working atmosphere like in China. When African uncles and aunts work, they feel very relaxed and quiet, and there is no tension at all.

"These people are fine with their work, but no one wants to work overtime, and when it comes to a lot of work, it's so inefficient that it's hard to imagine what to do when business is good. Ma Siyuan said worriedly.

Now that business is not good, of course everyone is relaxed.

But if business is good in the future, this kind of work attitude is obviously not enough.
