Chapter 67: Zhang Cheng's Sorrow
The room was simple but very clean, with a large homemade bed, which could completely sleep Zao Wou-Ki and Wang Wei.
Zao Wou-Ki first helped Wang Wei to bed, helped him take off his coat and pants, and then helped him cover him with a thin quilt. The quilts and sheets were freshly washed and smelled of sunshine.
Zao Wou-Ki also lay down on the side, his hands behind his head, and his entire body was emptied. When his body was completely empty, his sense of hearing became more sensitive, and Zao Wou-Ki could not only hear the sound of Chen Dan washing up next door, but could even hear the insects chirping in the trees outside the window.
Wang Wei on the side was already asleep, and Zao Wou-Ki took out his mobile phone to look at it, and the time was only half past nine.
At this point in time, the city is still full of traffic and people, but in the countryside, the sound of nature replaces this qiē, the sound of insects and frogs, the breeze and the moon, back to the basics.
Zao Wou-Ki has been wondering why the real masters have become such a rare existence as amber in the reinforced concrete city, and now I think that it may be because modern martial arts practitioners are getting more and more away from nature.
Martial arts rely on inheritance, and cultivation is in the individual. The little fox just looked at the moon, but she broke through the realm, but I don't know how she came to realize the realm from the moon.
Thinking of this, Zao Wou-Ki couldn't help but get up and pushed open the window, uh...... In this direction, you can't see the moon, all you can see is the window on the other side.
The opposite window was closed, and the curtains were drawn, but the light cast a slender figure on the curtain, the figure of a woman.
The figure first walked back and forth, then bent down and picked up a small figure, so the identity of the owner of this figure was about to come out, is it such a coincidence?
There won't be much entertainment at night in the countryside, especially when it's just herself, either watching TV or being in a daze, but obviously, she doesn't.
Soon, the lights on the opposite side went out, and it seemed that she had gone to sleep with the child.
Zao Wou-Ki also turned off the lights and went back to bed, but he couldn't sleep. Accustomed to going to bed late, no matter how tired he is, as long as he doesn't reach that point, it will be difficult for Zao Wou-Ki to sleep.
The meal in the villa was only halfway over, and Banjing got up and walked to the guest room arranged by Zhang Cheng......
Zhang Cheng lit a cigarette, looked at the many dishes on the table that had not been touched, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, if the father and mother who died early saw such a wasteful scene, I don't know if they would be so angry that they would crawl out of the grave.
Zhang Cheng smoked very fiercely, the smoke swirled in front of him, and the speed at which the smoke dissipated was much slower than the speed at which it was formed, so soon, he couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
If you can, I really don't want to be a grandson! I spent ten years developing the chopstick workshop left by my parents into the current factory, but these years, it is becoming more and more difficult for those who are down-to-earth and diligent to do business.
Last year, the profit of the entire factory was less than 100,000 yuan, and a friend who was speculating in real estate said to him with contempt after hearing his annual profit, "Why are you working so tired! Just for a mere 100,000 yuan? I can earn 500,000 yuan by covering a house for two years."
Listen to the advice of your buddy, stop doing business, have no future, take advantage of the fact that you haven't started to lose money, and sell the factory quickly! Next year, follow your buddy to speculate in real estate, as long as you have funds, it is not a problem to earn millions easily when you are young!
Could it be that only a speculative industry like real estate speculation can make money, and those who do entities are doomed to perish one after another? Zhang Cheng just smiled and shook his head, rejecting his friend's suggestion.
It used to be the lifeblood of my parents, it carried my childhood memories, and it was the link that maintained my soul and the soul of my parents.
I remember that in '98 or '99, it was the best time for the development of my factory, when the real estate economy was not so hot, and at that time the domestic business was still so wild, and the exchange rate was still very competitive at that time.
Since the good prime minister was not re-elected, it seems that everything has begun to change. The first is that real estate began to get out of control, housing prices began to rise wildly, housing prices rose, wages rose, wages rose, prices rose, and everything was rising.
But after the price increases, most people still can't afford to buy a house, most people still don't have enough wages to spend, and their lives have not improved.
The real estate boom was the first damage to their own factories. The people working on the construction site are 200 a day, why can't we even earn 100 a day? If you don't raise your salary? If you don't, I'll quit and go to the construction site to move bricks!
This is the original words of the best master in the factory, no way, he is the production of chopsticks, and the profit is calculated according to the gross, but the real estate developer is building a building, and the profit of any set is hundreds of thousands.
So the master with the best craftsmanship gave up the handicraft work and went to the construction site to do hard work, and the other people in the factory who could move and carry it also went to the city to go to the construction site, resulting in the loss of workers in their own factories.
Not only their own factories, but also many other factories have encountered similar problems, so many owners who were originally factories have directly shut down their factories and registered real estate companies or construction companies instead.
The world economic crisis in 08 caused a second damage to their factories, foreign trade was instantly out of order, the purchasing power of various countries declined, and export orders instantly decreased by two-thirds.
The constantly appreciating exchange rate is the third and most severe damage to one's own factory. Last year, chopsticks sold for $0.2 a pair and a profit of two cents, but this year they sold a pair for $0.3 a pair but only made a profit of less than a dime.
Because the exchange rate has risen, the selling price can only rise, so the price competitiveness of the product is declining, and on the other hand, the raw materials are rising, the wages of workers are rising, and the profits are becoming more and more meager, or even directly at a loss.
Last year, I received an order of 500,000 US dollars, the customer pressed the unit price very low, he bit his scalp and took it, never thought about the production for two months, the dollar came back and waited for two months, and when he settled the foreign exchange, he found that because of the exchange rate appreciation in the past four months, he not only did not earn a penny, but also lost tens of thousands.
To add insult to injury, in recent years, many foreign customers could not accept the price increase year by year, so they began to turn to Vietnam, Indonesia and other places to purchase. They have a low exchange rate and sell at much cheaper prices.
The shape of foreign trade exports is not good, but the outside world and economists are repeatedly saying that in order to develop high-tech industries, the elimination of labor-intensive industries is inevitable......
Damn, isn't it wrong that everyone can play with the high-tech industry? Is it wrong to just want to make chopsticks and continue the industry of my father's generation?
The road of entities is getting harder and harder, and many bosses are losing money and going bankrupt. Some of the bosses who lost money ran away, and some committed suicide by jumping off the building.
Many cold-hearted bosses began to close factories and no longer do entities, but the threshold for real estate companies and construction companies is high, not only have money connections, but also have connections, they find that they are excluded and can no longer enter the market, so they start to speculate in real estate, and finally they make money, and they are all happy.
There are two types of entities that still insist on doing business, one is struggling to survive, and the other is beginning to move factories to Southeast Asia, where the political situation is unstable and there is a tendency to exclude China, and the road to development is not easy......
He didn't want to leave his homeland, so he could only survive, Zhang Cheng found himself very sad, he had almost no way out, and now he had to be a grandson for the last glimmer of hope.
It wasn't until the cigarette burned out that Zhang Cheng came back to his senses and quickly threw away the cigarette butt, and then he saw the two women coming out of the room.
Zhang Cheng was taken aback, and quickly got up and walked over, "What's the matter? He was kicked out? Didn't I say I wanted you to treat him well?"
Qianqianjiao smiled: "Oh! It's over." Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, "So fast?" "Who said it wasn't." ”
Zhang Cheng said again: "Even so, you can't leave! I paid for the night, you must have professional ethics." ”
Xiaoyun spread his hands, "No way, people don't want us to accompany us, we can only go." Zhang Cheng waved his hand, and Qianqian and Xiaoyun twisted their butts and walked out of the villa.
As soon as Zhang Cheng finished brewing a pot of tea, Banjing walked out of the room. "Mr. Banjing, please take a seat!" "Mr. Banjing, this is the best West Lake Longjing, can you taste ......it?"
Itai took two sips and put the teacup down. Zhang Cheng asked, "Mr. Itai doesn't seem to be satisfied with this tea?
Itai waved his hand, "No, it has nothing to do with tea. "That'...... Are you dissatisfied with those two women?" Itai shook his head, "No, it's okay with them. "That's ......"
Banjing frowned, "Director Zhang, I've hinted to you several times, do you really don't understand or are you pretending to be stupid?" "This ...... I really don't understand, so please show Mr. Itai. ”
Itai straightened up, "Okay, in that case, I'll say it straight, there seems to be a saying in your country that opens the skylight and speaks brightly?" "Yes, it seems that Mr. Itai has studied the culture of our country quite a bit. ”
Itai sneered, "Maybe, I also know some idioms, such as duplicity, pretending to be crazy and stupid." Zhang Cheng just smiled and said nothing.
Itai paused and said, "Okay, let me make it clear!" Director Zhang, I like beautiful women, but what I like is not the happy woman just now, I am not short of money, so I never lack happy women." ”
Zhang Cheng nodded, "Of course, Mr. Banjing's family is one of the three major chaebols, and there is never a shortage of money, I know that." ”
Itai looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Director Zhang, so now I tell you, what I like is Lin Meng, a worker in your factory! I want to get her! Only if you help me get her, I will return the favor and continue to do business with you, otherwise, I will move all the orders to Vietnam and never cooperate with you again." ”
Zhang Cheng's hand shook heavily, and he sneered in his heart, sure enough! I really dare to say it! I really want to slap him in the mouth! But ...... No, I can't!
