Those who want to sell goods can then purchase goods from these places and bring them back to the market to make a fortune. They are still cheaper than similar domestic goods from supply and marketing cooperatives.

The labor cost is more than 30 times lower than that of the notebook. Even though all aspects of the product are more than 30 times lower, the price is 1-3 times more expensive than foreign originals.

"You know, I don't know anything about Dongfang, but I actually don't understand why the final product is so expensive when your labor costs are dozens of times lower?" Sean asked curiously.

: “And on the basis of such high profits, why do many factories still lose money?”

"Uh... we are a state-owned enterprise, and we have to bear the wages of retired workers." Bi Zhengchun didn't know how to explain it to Sean, so he spoke very vaguely.

"That's not right. This is at most a doubling of labor costs. You are dozens of times lower than us." Sean shook his head. I know one plus one equals two. You can't lie to me!

"Well, there are also many benefits. Food is very cheap, and medical treatment is reimbursed. Well, yes, that's it." Bi Zhengchun nodded stiffly.

Sean curled his lips. It was not like he didn't know about the medical level and living standards.

Just ask here and you'll be fine. If you ask again, you'll miss the point.

In fact, decades later, it will be the same in many cases. When you go abroad, you cannot avoid the topic of shopping. Well, it is like shopping. Not only luxury goods, many products are also cheaper than at home.

For example, pure original cars are also cheaper abroad. They are much cheaper. The reason is the high import tax, which is to protect car companies...

The market exchanged technology, and the market provided it, but the technology did not develop at all.

If you can make money with protection, why invest large sums of money to improve technology?

There is nothing wrong with having money. Is it wrong to invest in researching technologies that I don’t know if they can be developed?

Can we wait? Why don't we wait for others to study it and use it?

Don't say that using someone else's patent is expensive.

No one's patents were blown by strong winds. They were all researched from scratch by investing a lot of real money. Who has no cost?

Who held your hand and prevented you from studying?

Not to mention that even if a computer system is developed and there is no platform for installation, and there is no supporting software, it is useless to research it.

This kind of difficulty has been mentioned by Zhonglie Manmen long ago. Before Hongmeng was installed, it was only running in the laboratory. Isn’t that money?

(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~

Closer to home, Sean will definitely not do this for 35,000 soft girl coins anyway.

"I need a reasonable price." Sean said expressionlessly.

"30,000?" Bi Zhengqing asked tentatively, saying it doesn't matter whether he makes money or not, but as we all know, Sean is very generous.

Sean looked sideways, too lazy to speak.

"2.8?"

"$3,800, CIF, no matter how high it is, I can't accept it." Sean gave a price, which he calculated after investigation.

And it leaves some profit points for Hafei.

If he was more cruel, he could reduce it to 3,000 US dollars. He was sure that Hafei would also endure it. Earning foreign exchange through exports was better than anything else.

Due to some special reasons, except for some parts that need to be imported, a small number of spare parts are purchased locally, and the rest are all produced by Hafei!

They even have their own power plant, their own hydraulic forging machines, electronic manufacturing, including glass production lines, and they can produce even a screw in-house.

These factories have greatly increased costs due to insufficient operating capacity.

If procurement channels are opened up and market competition is introduced, the cost can be reduced to less than US$2,500 based on current wage levels.

This price was already lower than Hafei's own bottom line. Of course, it was still far from the bottom line set by the Ministry of Industry. Bi Zhengqing did not agree on the spot.

The price was bargained down by more than half when I first came up, so I agreed on the spot and there was something wrong with it.

That's all. Business negotiations, no matter how fast they are, cannot be settled at a cocktail party. Especially the Chinese side needs to listen to everyone's opinions.

By now, the cruise ship had sailed far away. After a period of familiarity and the language barrier, many people gradually became less cautious than they were at first.

Anyway, these women couldn't understand what he was saying.

Sean raised his hand and made a gesture, and a band immediately came out and started playing, relatively soothing piano music. The atmosphere should be heated up slowly. If it gets too hot, these guys will be scared.

"Beauties, move up and entertain our guests." Sean shouted in French.

Immediately, the beauties started to stick to her and dance.

Singing and dancing, beauties kept walking among the crowd bringing glasses of wine.

Cocktails, whiskey, wine, liqueur...

Mixing in, time passes little by little, from being restrained to relaxing, from being sober to being intoxicated, from being serious to relaxing and laughing, from keeping a distance from the slow threesome to the body twisting...

The music matched the lights, the wine matched the beauties, and the atmosphere gradually became turbulent.

Huhuhahahaha!!!

Sean has no plans to go back and will spend the night at sea today.

We must use this to test our cadres!

What evil devil!

The cruise ship was borrowed from the Moroccan royal family. In addition to various entertainment facilities, there are a total of 12 rooms on the upper and lower floors. They were designed to be far apart from each other and had top-notch sound insulation design.

So interesting!

A spring breeze blows across the earth one night, looking for a fairy in the peach blossom garden...

When I woke up again, the boat had already arrived at the shore.

Two days later, news came from Bi Zhengqing that the share ratio was 2:8, the personnel allocation was 70%-30%, the three models were available, the CIF price was US$3,800-4,150, and the Chinese side was responsible for transportation.

Sean will send a lawyer to negotiate with them about the specific details.

In fact, Sean did not hold all of the 80% of the shares. The other investor was the Moroccan Investment Group.

The investment group invested US$2.8 million, and the top eight cities in Morocco provided a total of 14 plots, accounting for a total of 35% of the company's shares.

Sean holds 25% of the shares in the investment group, without spending a penny from beginning to end, and accounts for more than half of the total shares of the new company.

Perfect!

In fact, 14 of them are not worth much, and they are not located in the city center. Sean positioned several cars in rural areas, urban-rural fringes, self-employed households in cities, gangsters...

Ahem, it seems like something weird has gotten in.

However, vans are indeed very suitable for gangs to use. They have a large throughput per unit time and can release their attack power to the maximum extent. In addition, they are cheap and they don’t feel bad if they are detained. The injured can still lie down at critical moments, making it easier to send them to the hospital.

Perfect!

Leaving the construction of the Fourth Son store, publicity and promotion, and advertising shooting tasks to the investment group, Sean turned around and went to Libya again.

The cargo ship delivering aircraft and weapons from the east has arrived. Sean will be present for the first reception.

What makes Sean regretful is that no one robbed him. He was very disappointed.

There were also a large number of Chinese staff accompanying them.

Rocket launchers, recoilless rifles, etc. are all purchased through regular channels as civilian parts.

Professionals are needed to assemble it here, and Sean doesn’t count on Cardano, nor does he count on recruiting people from Libya to assemble it.

He would rather hire Chinese personnel for a short period of time. Not only the wages of Libyans are too high, but the work attitude and assembly accuracy are also worrying.

I'm used to it!

After a short stay of three days and completing the handover task, Sean left everything behind and took off again to return to the United States.

The HR manager that Umbrella needs has finally been found, and Sean wants to go back and have a look!

…

Van Wyk, a former member of the Marine Corps, retired at the age of 38 with the rank of major.

His father is a lawyer, his uncle is a city councilman, and his grandfather once worked in politics. His family is well off. After retiring, he re-entered school and obtained a double bachelor's degree in law and administration from Columbia University.

After graduation, he engaged in administrative management and transferred to human resources management position three years later. He is now 53 years old and has rich management experience.

When Sean meets people, his first impression is very good. His silver hair is meticulously combed, his waist is straight, he wears an ordinary military uniform, he has a gentle smile on his face, and his hands are generous and strong.

Sean didn't ask a single question about management matters, and it was in vain if he asked because he didn't understand.

What Sean cares about is his family, the relationship with family members, the situation of his children, and his political leanings.

Those who have family have reverence...

Ahem, of course, Sean had no intention of threatening him with his family.

Serious company!

"Who do you think the two parties will win in the next term?" Sean was chatting with Van Wyk while shooting target at the Umbrella Military Base in Newark.

"The Elephant Party, our whole family is a firm supporter of the Elephant Party!" Van Wyk said with certainty.

After chatting about the Elephant Party, we also talked about the situation in Southeast Asia, the situation in the Middle East, war, and peace... Overall, Sean was quite satisfied.

The emergence of the head of the Human Resources Department means that the Umbrella reorganization plan can officially begin to be promoted.

However, Sean still has some things to deal with as soon as possible before that.
Chapter completed!
