The most luxurious hotel in the provincial capital is the Li Palace International Hotel, which was built in 2006, although it is called an international hotel, it is actually completely domestic, not international at all. Just as the Chinese New Year is being celebrated, all kinds of red New Year's items are hung, and the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows are pasted with patterns of children playing with firecrackers. It's a pity that there is no one in the lobby, and it seems too deserted. Huang Wenbin had already inquired about the news, and went directly to the business suite on the thirteenth floor and knocked on the door, inside was a ghost guy wearing a red Tang suit, red pants, red shoes and red socks, and his body was red all over his body.

"Happy New Year!" This ghost guy can also speak Chinese, but the pronunciation is a little inaccurate.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Huang Wenbin said.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Smith." Ding Shishi said.

"Okay two, come in and sit down." Smith invited Huang Wenbin and Ding Shishi into the house, and his own waiter poured tea, and also put candy and snacks on the table, and the service was very thoughtful, "Boss Huang has admired his name for a long time, and today is the first time I have seen him." What a boy hero, when I was your age, I still stayed in school to pick up girls. ”

"Mr. Smith speaks Chinese so well." Huang Wenbin complimented him and said.

"No matter how good Chinese is, it's useless, the cultural barrier is too powerful." Smith smiled wryly and said, "I know that Chinese people celebrate the Chinese New Year, and I participated in it a few times when I was in the United States." But if you don't experience it yourself, you don't understand the real meaning. I thought that the Chinese New Year was a folk festival, and everyone had a few days off to dance dragons and lions or something. Who knows when I come and find out that this is not the case at all, everyone is on vacation, or completely on vacation, and nothing can be done. ”

"Lunar New Year is like Christmas in the United States for us." Ding Shishi said.

"I just don't understand." Smith said, "You can't just go back after all the travels to investigate. I have to wait until you finish the Spring Festival. I've already asked people, you usually go to work on the eighth day of the new year, that's fine, just wait eight days. If the Lantern Festival is over on the fifteenth, it will have to wait for two weeks. ”

"In fact, I have been going to work one after another since the third day of the Lunar New Year." Ding Shishi said

"That's better, just wait three days." Smith said happily, "It's more than Christmas on your side." I hired three translators, one of whom was local, and said that it would cost 1,500 yuan a day, which is a good price for you. As a result, he refused to go to work yesterday and had to go home for dinner, and I said that you went back today, and you won't use it in the future. People don't give any face, and they really go back. In the United States, if I pay 1,500 dollars to hire an interpreter, not to mention not going home for dinner at Christmas, you can go to bed with me. ”

Fifteen hundred Huaxia coins and fifteen hundred U.S. dollars are not comparable at all, and the difference in prices between the two sides cannot be compared. Besides, going home for dinner in the Chinese New Year's Eve, this is a more important issue than going to bed, how many health care ladies usually sell their bodies casually, and when it comes to the New Year, they don't want any money, they have to go home for a reunion dinner.

"Mr. Smith speaks Chinese so well, what else do you need to ask for a translator?" Huang Wenbin said.

"It's okay usually, but if you read the technical materials or something, it's bad." Smith said, "Thank you two for coming with me for the New Year, or I'd be suffocated." By the way, I haven't congratulated Boss Huang yet, you are now the chairman of the board of directors of Shengong Group. ”

"More Mr. Smith." Huang Wenbin said.

"I can't help it, who knows that Zhang Liguo's guy actually agreed to it." Smith said hatefully, "I also brought out a red-headed article, saying that it was force majeure." I asked the lawyer to go to the court to sue him, and he couldn't even file a case! If I could, I'd buy the Divine Bow Group myself. ”

Smith is the CEO of the toy company under the Smith consortium, although he is also called Smith, he is actually not a senior member of the consortium, and he has little connection with the founding family of the consortium. The Smith Consortium is a large consortium in the United States, with a wide range of involvement, and one of the important businesses is toys. In the past, they all produced by themselves, but later the labor cost in the United States was too high, so they moved to China. Later, it was too expensive to open a factory by itself, so it was simply outsourced to local companies in Huaxia, a large part of which was given to Shengong Group.

Everything is spiraling, and now the Smith consortium finds it inconvenient to outsource all and wants to take full control of the factory. It is very troublesome to build from scratch, find land to buy Wutong Sanping to apply for a license to build a factory to build a factory and transport machinery qì to recruit workers, it is impossible to operate normally without three or five years, and the easier way is, of course, to acquire a ready-made toy factory. They are a big conglomerate, ordinary factories don't look down on them, and they look for them, and they are the best in Shengong Toy Factory.

Shengong Toy Factory was originally their outsourcing factory, the technical force is sufficient, and the workers are also very high, and they come to inspect the factory several times a year, so they have long been familiar with it. The factory area is large, there are many assembly lines, and there is enough productivity. You don't even need to change it after buying it, as long as you send a few executives over, you can continue production immediately.

The only problem is that the Shengong Group refuses to sell. The Smith consortium paid 5 billion yuan, but Zhang Liguo did not agree. Because the Shengong Group was established with the Shengong Toy Factory as the center, other factories either make accessories for the toy factory, or the stick toy factory does the later stage, if the Shengong Toy Factory is sold, the other factories have no center of gravity, and they don't know how to adjust their business.

Later, Huang Wenbin launched an attack, and Zhang Liguo was in urgent need of cash, so he thought about selling the Shengong Toy Factory, but the shareholders' meeting would definitely not agree. Even if he sells it quietly, the shareholders' meeting will definitely not trust him again in the future, and after surviving Huang Wenbin's attack, the shareholders' meeting will also elect someone else to be the chairman.

Whether Huang Wenbin or Zhang Lihua and Zhang Limin are chosen, Zhang Liguo is equivalent to losing. In this case, instead of just selling the Shengong Toy Factory to get through the current difficulties, it is better to simply sell yourself and sell the entire Shengong Group, and you can continue to be a powerful and powerful devil in the future.

So Zhang Liguo reached an agreement with Smith, preparing to use Dongyang Toy Factory to let the Smith consortium join the Shengong Group. At the same time, Zhang Liguo also invited his mother to come out and persuaded Zhang Lihua, saying that he admitted his mistake, gave up the chairman and shares or something, and secretly crossed Chen Cang on the plank road.

But an accident happened, Zhang Lihua actually became a vegetative person, and the two billion funds raised by Zhang Lihua also fell into the hands of Zhang Liguo, and at this time Huang Wenbin had signed a settlement agreement with Zhang Liguo, so Zhang Liguo immediately turned his face and found someone except for the red-headed Wen Jiàn, all foreign investment in shares must be reviewed by the government, which blocked the way for the Smith consortium to acquire Shengong Group.

Smith couldn't get angry, so he sold Dongyang Toy Factory to Huang Wenbin, and let Huang Wenbin buy Shengong Group. At that time, Smith also threatened Huang Wenbin, wanting Huang Wenbin to leave him half of the shares, otherwise he would not sell Dongyang Toy Factory. However, Ding Shishi directly found the chairman of the Smith consortium and bought Dongyang Toy Factory directly, leaving Smith helpless. The bow was not bought, and the consortium's strategy had to continue, so Smith came over to inspect the factory again to see if there were any toy factories worth starting.

"That's all in the past," Mr. Huang said, "and Mr. Zhang is dead anyway." Now we should move on to the front look. I heard that you have a big order in hand, right? ”

"yes, order for a clown doll." Smith didn't hide it, he had to find someone to do it anyway.

"Clown dolls? Isn't that the flagship product of your Smith Toy Factory? Ding Shishi asked, "It has always been the top priority of your product plan, and you have planned who will produce it every few years." How can there be orders this year? Could it be that something happened? ”

"yes." Smith was a little embarrassed, "The factory that was supposed to be a clown doll went out of business. "The clown dolls at Smith Toy Factory are very technical, with more than a dozen joints that can be moved, can be manipulated into various poses, and with accessories, they can also play tricks.

The technical content is high, and the requirements for the factory are naturally very high, even the Shengong Group has not received an OEM order for clown dolls. Smith Toy Factory has always outsourced production to factories in Eastern Europe. However, labor in Eastern Europe is also very expensive, and in order to ensure profits, Smith gave a price that could not meet the requirements of others, and as a result, people couldn't make a calculation, so they simply disbanded the factory and did not do it.

"Since that's the case, why don't you leave it to me." Huang Wenbin said.

"You?" Smith smiled, "With all due respect, Mr. Huang, I think your Shengong Toy Factory, no, it should be said that Huaxia's Toy Factory, does not have this technology." Our clown dolls are very demanding. A few years ago, we tried to make your Huaxia factory OEM, but it was a mess and it didn't meet our standards at all. This time, I'm going to look for an OEM in South Korea or Taiwan, and if not, I'm going to Malaysia or Thailand. ”

"A few years ago was a few years ago, and now it is now." Huang Wenbin was not moved at all, "Now our technical level is completely different. Mr. Smith should know this very well, and you are a frequent visitor to the Shengong Toy Factory. "Huaxia is like the protagonist of an RPG game, and the level has skyrocketed in a few days. As for other countries, it can only be a supporting role, although it is also rising, but it can't be compared with the speed of the protagonist at all.

"A few years ago, you were looking for Daifuku Toy Factory, and I also heard a little about it, and it has not yet been decided who is who is wrong." Huang Wenbin said, "The technical requirements you sent here, English is a number jù, Chinese is a number jù, if you follow the Chinese version of the number jù, but it is completely qualified." ”

"The contract has been stated, and the English number jù shall prevail." Smith said with some weakness.

It was because the contract stipulated that Daifuku Toy Factory lost a lot of money. It was also the bad luck of Daifuku Toy Factory, they did exactly what the Chinese manual required, but forgot to check whether there was any difference between the Chinese and English versions. "I heard that Mr. Smith personally supervised this translation." Huang Wenbin said, "I also heard that the factory in Eastern Europe has a shareholder named James, who is a relative of Mr. Smith. ”
