Chapter 0478 - Three Foreigners

Zhou Qingfeng carried out reforms in Tianyang to lay the foundation for future development.

His Excellency Watanabe of the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) was not idle, he dressed himself up as an old engineer and arrived in Tianyang by plane. When he stepped out of the cabin, there was an extremely rudimentary place in front of him, a small airfield.

"It's the most dilapidated airport I've ever seen, and California's highways are prettier than it." Qin Hao followed Watanabe's ass and stood on the top of the boarding car and looked around.

Tianyang Airport is indeed small, it used to be a military airport with simple facilities. Later, the military was converted into a civilian and became a local airport. But after all, it is still small, and it can only take off and land small regional passenger planes.

Behind Qin Hao, Karl, a German with a straw bale belly, dragged his suitcase and got out.

He muttered in English, "Watanabe, are you sure this place is the source of the smuggling of prohibited items?" Is the inside intelligence wrong? ”

"Shut up. From now on, no smuggling is allowed. The little old man, Watanabe, lowered his voice to stop Carl from talking. He deliberately looked left and right.

The flight attendants of the airliner were laughing at the door of the cabin, trying to please the foreigners. Now there are only a handful of foreigners who can fly to Tianyang.

"Remember, we are now foreign technicians who come to work in Skyyang. You go and don't reveal your true intentions. Watanabe felt that he had made a big mistake and should not have brought these two bales.

After discovering that China no longer imports high-end machine tool tools and analog-to-digital conversion chips, many foreign trading agents in DìDū immediately began to investigate the reasons behind it.

The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) is particularly concerned about the domestic technological situation, especially the progress in high technology. It's not just about business, it's about military and politics.

The current internal committee is like a sieve, and classified information is flying everywhere. Many people are busy looking for a way to go abroad, and it is easy for them to be bribed and steal secrets, and hand over the information.

Watanabe made little effort to determine that it was not technological progress in the country, but a large number of embargoed items obtained through special channels.

But where do the prohibited items come from?

The people who know Zhou Qingfeng are very limited and relatively secretive. However, it is unusual for many ministries and commissions to suddenly have a preference for the 'Shengguang Group' in Tianyang City.

Watanabe, the old devil, also collected information from many aspects, and was keenly aware that this company suddenly appeared like a comet and rose rapidly.

For example, Dì Dū has recently appeared a large number of 'Motorola' Chinese pagers, with good performance, cheap prices, and in stock.

As a rough estimate, more than 100,000 units have been sold. The DìDū market was saturated in an instant, and the second-tier vendors had already begun to distribute their goods to the surrounding cities.

In order to make money, Gong Wei's marketing department has done business in the magic capital.

But the commercial agents of 'Motorola' swear to God, and they can also check the customs import and export list, and they definitely do not sell such a large amount in China.

This was definitely smuggled in.

As for who smuggled it, it's actually quite easy to find. With a large number of people involved in business, the dissemination of information is uncontrollable.

Watanabe is sure that the Holy Light has made a fortune from smuggling. He even looked up 'Holy Light Entertainment' in HK, read comics printed with the 'Holy Light Under the Skirt' logo, and enjoyed underground videos that are popular all over Southeast Asia.

This is all public information, and as long as the intelligence network is large enough, it can be easily checked with a heart. Even the amount of profit of the 'Holy Light' can be estimated.

Since it is smuggling, there must be a hidden source.

Watanabe believes that there is a real black hand hidden behind the 'Holy Light'. He went to HK, but 'Holy Light Technology (HK)' was just an empty shell.

However, it is rumored that the 'Holy Light' of Mr. Zhou has great magical powers and is not easy to mess with, which strengthens Watanabe's determination to investigate in depth - he must find out the truth.

But if you really want to investigate, Watanabe found that this matter is quite troublesome.

Nowadays, foreigners cannot run around in the country casually, and must report to the relevant departments. Where to go, what hotel to stay in, what route to take, and what to do, you need to report.

But Watanabe is not without opportunities.

Because of Zhou Qingfeng's large investment, Tianyang City got more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars in foreign exchange. Although the money had to be handed over, the city still bargained for foreign exchange to import some equipment.

For example, the city printing factory wants another set of color printing production lines - it is really embarrassing to print 'environmentally friendly' comics, but Zhou Qingfeng gave too much.

'Environmental protection and entertainment' has become a sunrise industry with great development potential, and the city has decided to focus on supporting its development. External propaganda should be cultural to rejuvenate the city, but in fact, everyone knows that it is 'environmental protection' to prosper the city.

The color printing production line is more complex, unlike the machine tool that can work alone. Its weight is not small, and Zhou Qingfeng's transportation quota is limited, so he didn't think about getting a set from the e-commerce plane.

I didn't investigate too much in the city, and I sold Japanese products before, so I just bought the same imported product this time.

The agent of this set of color printing equipment is HK company. Zhou Qingfeng is upgrading Tianyang's manufacturing industry, and he needs not only technical personnel and advanced equipment, but also better management personnel.

Management is a major weakness in the country.

A large reason for the good economic development in the coastal areas is that foreign businessmen have brought in capital and technology as well as modern management.

Here again, we want to mention 'Foxconn'. Many people think that this is a sweatshop that squeezes workers, but Foxconn has really done a great job of improving production efficiency.

Zhou Qingfeng can still find many people with very good skills in China. But in terms of managing factories and transforming enterprises, he really can't find talents.

During this period, domestic business tycoons invited senior managers from abroad to give lectures. For example, please ask Jack, the legendary CEO of General Motors. Welch, with an appearance fee of up to a million dollars.

Welch's big move was to lay off employees, streamline the organizational structure, sell off non-core businesses, and focus on research and development. However, China was too backward at that time, and after returning to the United States, he commented that domestic entrepreneurs were like 'acting'.

Zhou Qingfeng also suffers from the lack of qualified managers under his subordinates, and no one can flexibly use the thick ISO standards. He approached HK's commercial agent to help him find a good manager.

This request was made known to Watanabe. He immediately recommended himself and asked to come to Tianyang as a quality control engineer. Because he has worked in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for more than 20 years, he is very familiar with business management.

Karl, a German, is an expert in vocational education and his original job was to train skilled workers.

As for Anderson. Qin, this yellow-skinned and white-hearted guy became a foreign media reporter and applied to Tianyang for an interview.

Everything was ready, so the three brothers took the plane together to appear in Tianyang.

Because it was a foreign guest, the city specially sent people to greet it in order to show its attention. Although Watanabe was polite, he said that he was not tired at all, "I want to work as soon as possible and unleash my abilities."

I will make it as soon as possible for the workers of your country to understand how a modern enterprise works. Please let me go to the factory. ”

After Watanabe finished speaking, he bowed 90 degrees, which startled the comrades of the Foreign Affairs Office and bowed along. On both sides, you and I, bow to the end, and I feel that I can't stand it

When the situation was reported to Zhou Qingfeng, Uncle Zhou only said: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away." The city battery factory is being reorganized, so let's let Mr. Watanabe go.

German guy Karl went to a technical school, and I urgently needed a group of skilled workers with professional ability. As for that Anderson, I didn't invite this guy, so he paid for it. ”
