Chapter 171: Sensitive Industries
"Mr. Li, don't you think that the hygiene of Chinese cities is particularly good?" William and the translator were on their way to Changsheng Investment Group, and when he saw the super clean and tidy streets of Huizhou, he asked the translator. Since the West Lake fish death, Huizhou City has paid close attention to environmental sanitation, and after several years of efforts, even a pool of stagnant water on the streets is clean and clear, and it is difficult to see dust on the road. That's why William felt this way.
"Hmmm! It is indeed very clean, which we cannot compare with in Taiwan. The translator admitted. The reason why he pointed out Taiwan was to separate Taiwan from China. Taiwanese have been taught to be citizens of the Republic of China since childhood, and do not recognize themselves as Chinese, and there are many Japanese descendants in Taiwan, and most Taiwanese ancestors date back to three generations, and there are Japanese ancestors. After all, Taiwan has been ruled by the Japanese for more than 50 years since the Qing Dynasty. Chiang Kai-shek was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, and most of the soldiers of the past had no descendants. Therefore, strictly speaking, Taiwan is dominated by Japanese descendants, which is why the rise of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) later.
The two of them walked slowly down the street while talking, but they also had a different mood. When crossing the underground pedestrian crossing, William saw that the shops on both sides were selling various delicacies, and William wanted to buy some Chinese specialties to try, but he couldn't help but think of the high prices in China. He didn't prepare enough this time and brought less money. "You have to save a little," William said to himself inwardly. Poor William, he was really slaughtered, thinking that the prices in China were so expensive.
Changsheng Mansion is only a few hundred meters away from the Triumph Hotel, and even if William and the two of them walk slowly, it only takes a few minutes to arrive.
"I'm sorry, this is not a public place, so you are not allowed to enter casually." William and the interpreter came happily, but they were beaten at the gate of the square. Two security guards with crossed hands and legs stopped them and said.
This is Shen Danqing's bad taste aesthetic point of view, he likes the image of a muscular hunk strong man, so he has been doing special fitness exercises since he was a child. When selecting security guards, he required that they must be tall and muscular men, and asked the security guards to strengthen fitness exercises and specialize in muscle exercise, so what William and the translator saw were two muscular hunks.
William and the translator were so frightened by the muscles of the two security guards that they didn't dare to make a mistake, or even speak out loud. In particular, the translator is relatively thin and small, and his physique is estimated to be less than half that of a security guard, and he is three points shorter invisibly.
"I'm sorry, we are Dell, and we want to talk about business with Changsheng Investment Group." The interpreter cautiously said to the two security guards.
The security guard didn't know any Dell company, but he saw that there was a foreigner between the two, and he didn't look like some bad guy, so he said to them, "Please register." He pointed to the security booth and told them to go inside and register.
"Hey! Thank you! The translator nodded in response.
The two took their passports and registered before they were released by the security guards. As soon as they entered the lobby of the building, they were struck by the luxurious furnishings in the lobby, which was far inferior to the hotel they were staying in. Also, Changsheng Investment Group's products are all luxury and high-end products in the world, and the impression created by the two of them is that they are too high-end and luxurious. It is enough to be the top luxury and high-end place in the world.
There was also a security guard on duty in the lobby, so when the two of them, who were obviously not members of the building, came in, a security guard stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" The security guard asked coldly.
"Hello, we are Dell Corporation of the United States, and we want to contact Changsheng Investment Group for business." Again, the interpreter said respectfully. In fact, he was scolding his mother in his heart, why are the security guards here so tall? It's summer, so the security guards are wearing short-sleeved professional attire, similar to the FBL uniform in the United States, except that they are wearing brown uniforms and black trousers, plus a pair of leather big-headed short black military boots, wide police-style belts, and a beanie shell hat, which is indeed intimidating enough. The interpreter estimated that the security guard's arms were thicker than his thighs, which made him angry.
The security guard looked at them and said coldly, "You take elevator number one to the top floor." ”
When William and the translator walked up to elevator number one, the elevator opened automatically. Closing the elevator door, William couldn't help but say to the translator again: "Mr. Li, do you feel that China is very rich? It's not at all as poor as the news on the surface suggests. It turned out that William was very observant, and he saw many people dressed in high-end fabrics and exquisite workmanship, especially their leather shoes, and he bet that they were definitely made of the finest Italian cowhide. In comparison, the two of them were a bit shabby, even though they were both decently dressed. In fact, the people William saw were all senior staff members of Changsheng Investment Group, and their wolf costumes were indeed high-end enough.
"Hmmm! It's really rich, and I think the lobby is very luxuriously decorated. The interpreter misunderstood William's meaning, but it was also the same way.
When the elevator took them to the top floor smoothly in less than two minutes, the two men who were talking were not aware of it. It wasn't until the elevator doors opened automatically that they came to their senses.
"It's here," William said in disbelief, but when he saw the word 35 on the LCD screen, he had to believe it. At the same time, he also left the impression in his heart that China's science and technology are also very advanced.
The two walked out of the elevator to the elevator hall, and saw a floor-to-ceiling glass double door at the end of the hall to isolate the entire elevator hall, and there were also two security guards standing at the door. We are Dell in the United States, and we want to talk to your company about business. ”
It was already the third guard box when they arrived here, so the security guard only glanced at the two of them cursoryly, judging that they were not dangerous people, so he didn't check them anymore, but said directly: "You wait, I'll go in and help you report." ”
"Hey! Thank you! The interpreter hurriedly thanked him.
Now it is Li Xiang who is in charge of foreign relations of Changsheng Investment Group, and Shen Danqing finally arranged a more decent job for him, and he is no longer in the embarrassing position of saying that he was the vice president but actually the director of the office. That's why the security guards reported to him.
"Mr. Li, there are two people outside who claim to be Dell in the United States, saying that they want to negotiate business with the company." The security guard said in a changing tone.
"Dell?" Li Xiang repeated. He still knows about Dell, the company has purchased their computers, and he has personally approved them, don't look at him as the director of the office, when it comes to large financial expenditures, they must be approved by him, and Shen Danqing is only responsible for the financial approval of large expenditures. When the company is big, some rights must be delegated, otherwise he will not be able to finish it.
"What is the matter with the computer company that they are looking for us! Is it here to sell computers? Li Xiang thought in his heart. But since the guests have come to the door, they always have to meet, after all, Dell is not an idle person.
"Hello! I am the vice president of Changsheng Investment Group, Li Xiang. On behalf of Changsheng Investment Group, I welcome you, please come in. Li Xiangying went outside and said to William and the others who were honestly waiting in the hall.
After the translator's explanation, William finally understood Li Xiang's identity, and he was more satisfied, proving that Changsheng Investment Group still attaches great importance to himself. Therefore, he also officially introduced himself to Li Xiang and said: "Hello Mr. Li! I'm Senior Vice President and Executive Director of Dell, my name is William, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Mr. William, please," Li Xiang said with a gesture with his right hand. After the translation's explanation, Lee wanted to know William's identity.
Li wanted to lead the two of them to the reception room and sit down, and a secretary on the side helped them serve tea. After the two of William were polite, Li Xiang began to ask, "Mr. William, what are you doing?" ”
"I want to know where the small home appliance screens you help Hong Kong NB Trading Co., Ltd. OEM are produced. We would like to order this screen for use in our computer products. After an interpreter's explanation, William said his first intention.
"I have no right to answer this question, this is our trade secret petition forgiveness!" William's question was sensitive, so Li Xiang refused to answer on the grounds of trade secrets.
"Mr. Li, you may have misunderstood what I meant, I don't want to know the origin of the screen, I just ordered this screen from you on behalf of Dell." William realized an important piece of information, Changsheng Investment Group had this screen, and it didn't matter where it came from, he just had to buy it. So he changed his tone and bought from Changsheng Investment Group instead. William is a business veteran, he knows that things can't be rushed, so let's test it first.
"Alright! Mr. William, I admit that I have no authority to answer your questions. Please wait a moment, I want to ask our boss for instructions. Only with his approval can I continue the conversation with you. William's question was very tricky and sensitive, and Li Xiang stopped pretending and directly said that he had no right to answer.
"That's the way it is, ask the boss to talk to him personally!" In Shen Danqing's office, Li Xiang reported to him the situation just now.
After Shen Danqing heard what he said, he didn't answer immediately, but thought quietly. He came from the era of the information explosion that came later. As far as he knew. Dell is a typical asset-light company, without its own technical force, all parts are purchased from other companies, they do an assembly, of course, there is also an assembler with a certain technical strength. For example, motherboard design, they have their own technology. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as assembly technology, because the electronic components and chipsets on the motherboard are not their company.
Shen Danqing is thinking about how Changsheng Investment Group should enter the more sensitive high-tech industry. However, foreign countries cannot do this, because they are too sensitive and are easily attacked and resisted by the developed countries of Europe and the United States, led by the United States. After all, network information technology is the lifeblood of a country, and if Changsheng Investment Group suddenly enters, they will not be able to turn a blind eye. ……
