Just as Wu Aiguo was dealing with Wen Li's hospitalization in the hospital, in a building of the American Empire on the other side of the ocean, a middle-aged man looked at a few commodities on the table, and asked his subordinates beside him with a serious face: "David!" Has the source of Xiangjiang Red Star Trading Company been clarified? ”

When David heard the middle-aged man's inquiry, he immediately reported respectfully: "BOSS! At our branch in Xiangjiang, we found that the goods sold by the Red Star Trading Company were very similar to ours, and we immediately launched an investigation into the source of the Red Star Trading Company, and found that the goods of the Red Star Trading Company were actually from the Chinese mainland in the East. ”

When the middle-aged man heard David's report, an incredible expression appeared on his face, and he confirmed to David in disbelief: "David! Are you sure these products are all from backward China? ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's inquiry, David felt the doubt in the other party's tone, nodded very affirmatively, and replied, "BOSS!" This is a true thing, according to our investigation results, the Red Star Trading Company in Xiangjiang asked the factories in mainland China to do OEM for them, and the price they paid was only some grain and rubber. ”

When the middle-aged man heard David's report, he confirmed to David with a shocked face: "David! Are you sure that the Red Star Trading Company is paid for with grain and rubber, and the OEM remuneration of the Huaxia factory? ”

When David heard the middle-aged man's inquiry, he immediately guessed the middle-aged man's thoughts, nodded very affirmatively, and replied, "BOSS! This is a true thing, our staff in Xiangjiang have been in contact with the employees of Red Star Trading Company. ”

"Through the information revealed by the employee, Huaxia's labor is very cheap, and now there is a great shortage of materials, Red Star Trading Company asked Huaxia's factory to help with OEM in the way of OEM, so the price of these products sold by Red Star Trading Company will be so much lower than our company's products."

When the middle-aged man heard David's introduction, he understood why the products of Red Star Trading Company were so much lower than their company, and thought of the labor cost in the United States, so that the middle-aged man immediately saw the opportunity to seize the American manufacturing market, and hurriedly instructed David: "David! Call me right away, book a flight to Xiangjiang tomorrow morning, and then contact the owner of the Red Star Trading Company, I want to meet him. ”

When David heard the middle-aged man's command, he immediately walked to the desk on the side, picked up the phone on the desk, and helped the middle-aged man book a ticket to Xiangjiang.

A few days later, one morning, Wu Aiguo had just come to the office, and Lin Xuemei followed him into Wu Aiguo's office and reported to Wu Aiguo with a respectful face: "Director Wu! Telegram from Xiangjiang Red Star Trading Company! ”

Wu Aiguo heard Lin Xuemei's report, took the file bag containing the telegram from Lin Xuemei's hand, and instructed Lin Xuemei with a smile: "Sister Xuemei! You go get busy first! ”

After Wu Aiguo watched Lin Xuemei walk out of the office, he tore open the seal on the document bag and took out a telegram from the file bag.

Seeing the content of the telegram, Wu Aiguo's face showed a happy expression, and he said to himself: "I originally thought that it would take at least half a year for the Western manufacturing giants to come to the door, but I didn't expect that it was only half a year, and I didn't expect that the General Electric Company of the United States would come to the door so quickly. ”

When Wu Aiguo said this, he immediately pressed the phone on the desk, quickly shook the phone handle a few times, and then picked up the microphone and said politely: "Hello! Please help me transfer the call from the Ministry of Industry and the Kou Office. ”

"Hello! This is Kou's office, who is it? The phone was quickly connected, and a middle-aged man's inquiry immediately came from the phone.

Wu Aiguo heard the middle-aged man's inquiry, and immediately said to the middle-aged man with a smile: "Hello, Director Zhang! I'm Wu Aiguo, is Mr. Kou free? I have something important to look for him. ”

"Director Wu! Good morning! Mr. Kou once told him that as long as you call, whether he is free or not, you must report to him as soon as possible, please wait for a while. When Director Zhang heard Wu Aiguo's words, he thought of Mr. Kou's explanation, and replied politely.

"Xiao Wu! Good morning! I heard Xiao Zhang say, you have something important to look for me? Wu Aiguo waited for about thirty or forty seconds, and Mr. Kou's inquiry came from the phone.

Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou's inquiry, and said to Mr. Kou with a smile: "Mr. Kou! Good morning! I just received a telegram from Xiangjiang that the General Electric Company of the United States approached Lou Zhenhua yesterday and intended to hand over some of his company's products to our factory for OEM. ”

When Mr. Kou on the other end of the phone heard the news that Wu Aiguo told him, he showed a puzzled expression on his face, and asked Wu Aiguo curiously: "Patriotism!" What did you just say about foundry? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou ask about the meaning of OEM, and then realized that people in this era don't know what the so-called OEM means.

Realizing this, Wu Aiguo hurriedly explained to Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! In Western countries, labor costs are very high, and the labor cost of a normal factory is about 30 to 40 percent. ”

"If the products produced by this company do not have any competitors in the Western market, the labor cost is completely negligible for this company, if there are many competitors, want to monopolize the entire market, eliminate other competitors, the only way is to fight a price war."

"A small part of the goods sold by Red Star Trading Company are also sold in the Western market, but because of our low labor costs, the prices sold are lower than those of equivalent goods in other countries, which allows our products to seize the market in the short term."

"The General Electric Company of the United States is the largest electrical appliance company in the United States, and after our goods are sold to Western countries, because of the low price, it has attracted the attention of the General Electric Company of the United States.

When Mr. Kou heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, he finally understood what the so-called OEM was all about, and blurted out to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic!" According to you, if we help the factories of Western countries, isn't that tantamount to working for Western capitalists? ”

Wu Aiguo heard Mr. Kou mention the title of capitalist, then he remembered the current situation in China, considering what was about to happen in the future, Wu Aiguo, who did not want history to repeat itself, immediately said to Mr. Kou: "Mr. Kou! Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, those who can catch mice are good cats. ”

"Although OEM is to help Western companies work, we can make actual profits, and more importantly, we can learn the technology of Western countries through the process of OEM!"
