“…… As long as the company pays taxes according to the regulations, makes appropriate donations to charity, provides jobs for the local people, and solves the employment problems of the local people, then there will be councilors who will take the initiative to defend this turmoil without the company's response!"

After listening to old Tony's explanation, Fu Zhengyi became more and more confused. "Councillors, what are they involved for?"

"Of course, it is eye-catching! If you want to be re-elected, if you want to continue to develop upward, if you want to gain the trust of voters and the support of enterprises, many lawmakers wish they could find such an opportunity to fight against the media, and even slap the big mouths of those detractors!"

Originally, Fu Zhengyi felt that he was careful enough, but who would have thought that in less than a week, the "San Francisco News" almost shook his old bottom clean, if it weren't for the fact that all the companies eventually pointed to the two offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands, otherwise he would have been completely exposed now.

"Boss, Americans have a relatively moderate attitude towards the rich, especially those who are self-made and do not have anything to do with politics, the richer they are, the more they mean that such people can provide more jobs and employment opportunities, and they will also pay more taxes and fees for the local area, so that the public conditions such as security, schools, and medical care in the community can be improved, so you don't need to worry too much......

"Tony, you're an Italian American, but I never wanted to get American citizenship, and I never wanted to get a green card. What if I encounter a CFIUS takeover obstacle in the future?"

"Boss, the United States is unreasonable in this regard, if you want to initiate the acquisition of key enterprises, the CFIUS is a hurdle that you can't cross, but I remember that there is an oriental proverb, called 'find another way', through the complex ownership structure and the establishment of umbrella holding companies, you can still avoid the relevant laws and regulations, but the legal fees must not be saved......"

The impact of the San Francisco News report may be positive or negative, and even if Fu Zhengyi doesn't believe it will be as simple as Tony Sr. said, there is not much he can do at the moment.

There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

Fu Zhengyi doesn't believe in his fate, but now in this situation, he has a sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

Moreover, he didn't understand why Liu Meijia had such a big temper!

I was woken up from my sleep at one o'clock in the morning, and after more than four hours of busyness, I still didn't gain much, and the tiredness and incomprehension made Fu Zhengyi finally irritable, and simply turned off his mobile phone and went back to the room to rest.

He woke up five hours later, had a casual meal, and Fu Zhengyi went to the agreed café to meet Ji Baoguo, the general manager of [Yuyao Technology].

Nearly 50 years old, Ji Baoguo, a Chinese-American with a Chinese face, and his assistant have already arrived at the café early.

After a few polite sentences, Ji Baoguo handed over the relevant text. "Mr. Fu, the sales of handheld computers in the United States are not good, and the head office requires promotion in the form of all-round advertising coverage, in my opinion, the risk is too great!"

Looking through the development plan provided by Ji Baoguo, I saw that my previous requirements were basically reflected, and even in some aspects, Ji Baoguo's supplementary construction was more thoughtful than his own, and Fu Zhengyi was a little strange. "Mr. Ji, you seem to be quite familiar with the domestic marketing system, and you also have a good understanding of the regional differences in some markets, the reason for this?"

"Yes, although I have never come back after I went abroad, but my wife has been engaged in marketing business in China in recent years, considering that I am only familiar with production, quality control and other processes, so I asked my wife to help before the Spring Festival, and the requirements of the head office have been sorted out, extended and expanded......"

After a pause at this, seeing that Fu Zhengyi did not try to express his opinion, Ji Baoguo continued to add with a smile. "My wife is engaged in the promotion of fast-moving consumer goods, and she is not particularly clear about electronic products, so there will be all kinds of omissions and problems in this development plan, but fortunately, it will take some time for the product to come out, and I will try my best to set up a sales team to improve it!"

"The life cycle of this product itself will not be very long, and the relevant technology patents are not in hand, the requirements of the head office are to seize the market as quickly as possible, obtain the initial high profits, and it is best to be able to fully integrate the functions of this product into the mobile phone through guò technology research and development in the process of product development, which is the most important thing......

After elaborating on the development ideas and product development directions, Fu Zhengyi asked about the progress of Ji Baoguo's factory construction, assembly line procurement, installation and commissioning.

"The efficiency of the development zone is still good, the supporting facilities have been implemented in advance, and the development zone management committee is currently communicating with the construction unit, and the other party proposed that the company's oil needs to be purchased from a company that does not have oil storage and sales qualifications, which makes me very embarrassed......

"Some things cannot be accommodated! The company cannot participate in any suspected illegal or illegal things, reasonable and legal profits are the basis for insisting on development!"

Carefully recorded, and when the topic entered the function and production planning of specific products, Ji Baoguo said. "Mr. Fu, [Yuyao Technology] was originally prepared to produce a single mp3 player, and now it still needs to develop a handheld computer, so I need to re-communicate and negotiate with the memory manufacturer, and the company's internal development and design departments also need to be re-planned and re-organized.

"MP3 is for the global market, and the handheld computer is only for the domestic market, what do you think about sales?"

"The main competitor of MP3 players is the MD and CD players of Sony Corporation of Japan, which currently leads the world in sales, and it takes a long-term plan to shake its hegemony, so the pricing of the product is quite critical......"

"Don't think too much about Sony's MD and CD player, MP3 has the advantage of large storage, easy to carry, and is not affected by bumps and vibrations, Sony's MD and Panasonic and other companies' disc play products, is destined to be eliminated by the market!"

Seeing Fu Zhengyi's tone indifferent when he spoke, it seemed that as long as the company's products came out, the products of Japanese manufacturers would be easily eliminated, Ji Baoguo's original perception of the so-called 'executive director' of the head office in front of him immediately dropped a lot.

It's just that he didn't show it, but opened the notebook and looked a little embarrassed. "Mr. Fu, there is one of the biggest potential troubles at present, that is, the promotion of mp3 is bound to attract the attention of the Recording Industry Association of America, if the copyright issue cannot be resolved, it is a matter of time before the company is sued in court!"

"A knife that is bought by a chef becomes a kitchen item, but if it is bought by a murderer, it becomes a murder weapon! If the product starts to sell well, then whether the user pays to buy the music or not, as a manufacturer, has no power and no business to control!"

Ji Baoguo does not think such a statement will solve the problem. "Mr. Fu, ask the head office to add the function of online download to the functions of the second-generation or third-generation products, which will lead to the intention of active infringement, the Recording Industry Association of America is not stupid, they will fight the lawsuit to the end......"

This kind of lawsuit is equivalent to free advertising, and after a generation of products are put on the market, if the market responds well, then you can speed up the product update, how to control the market is the problem of sales, as a production base, what should be considered should be how to ensure quality and quantity, how to reduce production costs as much as possible!"

Finally sure that the young man in front of him was too optimistic, Ji Baoguo asked after finishing the record. "Mr. Fu, how does the head office consider the shipment of handheld computers?"

"First of all, according to the annual sales of 800,000 units for procurement negotiation, the production side does not need to be according to such a high output for production configuration, the head office's opinion is to improve the production line running time, increase the number of workers to solve the problem of output!"

Ji Baoguo was stunned, and only hesitated after a moment. However, excessive overtime will not only lead to a decrease in employee productivity, but also increase the cost of overtime pay. ”

As for production, Fu Zhengyi is a complete layman, but according to the initial planning and equipment procurement, he found that there was a certain overlap in some of them. "In advance, according to the two-shift system to plan, if the sales increase then the three-shift system, in short, unless there is a production capacity can not be satisfied, there is no need to consider expanding the scale of production! Not to mention that I see that the back end of the assembly line of MP3 is not much different from the back end of the assembly line of the handheld computer, can these two products share a certain part of the production line?"

"The assembly hall is completely shareable, and only the initial assembly line distribution needs to be changed, which is not complicated......"

"Okay! Then let's start in this way, I am very much looking forward to the launch of two products, especially the handheld computer, which is a domestic product, the formation of the sales team is the top priority, what kind of support is needed to report to the head office!"

Waiting for Fu Zhengyi to leave, Ji Baoguo, who was sitting in the café, smiled bitterly, thinking about a product that is not particularly valued and welcomed in the United States, why is the head office not only ready to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in advance as advertising expenses, but also set the sales target so high?

Isn't this company afraid of losing advertising costs? )
