slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 187 Hope
Zhang Heng's role in this tripartite negotiation is to play the side drum. Not only Matsuda Akio understands, but also Zhang Heng himself. Everyone knows that Zhang Heng has no decision-making power, including Zhang Heng himself.

Of course, if Zhang Heng can get the Japanese to agree to the conditions proposed by the county last time, it is certainly possible, but people like Akio Matsuda are not stupid enough to agree to Zhang Heng as a small secretary instead of agreeing to Lu Yanzhi's conditions. .

Everyone is a sensible person, so the atmosphere on the cart is naturally not so heavy and the confrontation is not so intense. Although it is related to business, everyone still talks and laughs.

When we arrived at the village, the sun was almost setting. Canghai arranged for Akio Matsuda and the three of them to live in the same kiln they visited last time. Zhang Heng saw that everything was in order, so he asked Canghai to borrow a motorcycle for dinner. He rode back without eating.

After seeing Zhang Heng off, the three of Akio Matsuda and Cang Hai returned to the house and chatted for a while.

The dishes at home are ready-made, braised half a piece of chicken in soy sauce, fried a piece of fish, added two or three side dishes, and stewed a pot of rice.

Everyone sat around the table and chatted while eating. As for the wine, Akio Matsuda and the others refused to drink any more, it was a bit hurt to drink at noon.

"How long can watermelons be picked?" Akio Matsuda put down the bowl, put a chopstick in his mouth, and asked after chewing twice.

Akio Matsuda visited it last time, and knew that the watermelons on Canghai's side were not gone after one batch, and it seemed that they could be picked three or two times.

"Maybe it will be the end of September, but it won't be possible in October because the weather is too cold," Cang Hai said.

Akio Matsuda listened and calculated: "A year is about five months."

"Well, it takes about five months. If you pick them on time, each melon seedling can produce six to eight melons, and there will be about two hundred melon seedlings per mu of sloping land..." Cang Hai roughly calculated.

"Do you think it's appropriate for us to set up a factory in the county?" Matsuda Akio asked while looking at Canghai.

When Cang Hai heard what Matsuda Akio said, he didn't understand it all at once, and thought: You actually asked me this matter?How do I know if it is suitable?If it’s suitable, vote if it’s not suitable, just change the place.

Thinking this way in my heart, I said: "It's really hard for me to say this. You want to set up the factory on the southern coast. It's good to have more qualified talents there, but there are also many factories there. The factories you set up are not good. It will be too big, and it will definitely not receive much attention there. If you put it in the county, it will be the only one. Of course, it is also true that the conditions in the county are definitely not as good as those in the south... ".

Cang Hai expressed his own opinion, as if he didn’t say anything, but in such a detailed way, it still favors the county, and Cang Hai favors the county, but he won’t endorse the county, because what he said is so nonsense Zhu, these Japanese are not stupid, they have their own standpoint, and naturally they have to weigh various interests. In business, there is only one thing that companies value, and that is profit.

"Many people in the company tend to be in the south coast, but we want to set up the factory nearby, because the transportation cost is very high, it would be much easier to set up the factory here, but the shortcomings here are also obvious, now We just want to get better preferential terms from Mr. Lu," said Akio Matsuda.

Cang Hai thought for a while and asked: "Now I heard that some factories in the south are busy moving to Southeast Asia. Your club must have a lot of investment in China, right?"

After hearing this, Akio Matsuda said: "Our club's investment in China has not been transferred with others, but has been transferred to the inland, from the original coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the inland provinces in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River."

"Isn't the labor cost in Southeast Asia lower?" Cang Hai asked curiously.

Akio Matsuda shook his head: "It looks low, but the overall price is not low. Not only have the companies under our club not moved out, but now we are thinking about moving some companies that were originally in Southeast Asia back to China. Come".

Originally, Cang Hai asked casually, but when he heard Akio Matsuda say this, he obviously didn't believe it, because it didn't sound like the current big flow.I feel that Matsuda Akio is a little bit unreal, and he is cheating himself.

Matsuda Akio saw the expression on Cang Hai's face and immediately understood that they were all human spirits and Cang Hai didn't deliberately hide it, if he couldn't guess a little bit of Cang Hai's current inner activities, then he wouldn't be in the present In the position, a representative club appeared at the negotiating table.Even the Canghai hardtop will not work.

"At first glance, workers in Southeast Asia, including India, are cheap, but after the factory is put into production, those workers will let the company understand what waste is, and the yield rate is very low. In some factories, the yield rate is actually less than [-]%. The main workers are very lazy. In some places, the indigenous workers worked for two or three days. After taking the money, they stopped coming to work. They waited for them to spend the money before they reappeared in the enterprise. The operating cost of the whole factory in this way is often higher than that in China. It’s even higher, not only in our society, but now many companies that have been pulled out are considering bringing their factories back to China,” said Akio Matsuda.

Seeing Akio Matsuda finished speaking, Oshima Yota added: "What is even more critical is that the workers cannot be strictly punished. Once the strict punishment is imposed, those workers will stop working. They will go on strike at every turn, ask for wage increases at every turn, and ask for more wages. It is difficult for foreign companies to get support and protection from the government in these countries.”

After listening to Cang Hai, he thought for a while and understood. Cang Hai had heard about the laziness of the Southeast Asian people. Otherwise, the Chinese would not have supported the economies of many small Southeast Asian countries, because these Southeast Asian natives did not Not willing to rely on their own hard work to get rich, they just want to live a small life lazy all day long. You said that it’s fine to be poor in a small life. thing.

Let's not talk about anything else, just look at Vietnam, a small country, and it will attack foreign companies at every turn, and feel oppressed by foreign capital at every turn. What the hell, I don't understand. All companies want to make money, and it is not a welfare organization. Here to bring you something warm.Even if it is Guan Wennuan, people will not send it in China. If you come to your poor country to promote the spirit of internationalism, you really think that the world is in harmony.

Cang Hai was thinking about this, when Hu Shijie's voice sounded from outside the room.

"Yo, where are you eating?"

As soon as Cang Hai looked up and saw the old man standing at the door with a smile on his face, Akio Matsuda and the other three immediately stood up when they saw the person coming, so they also stood up.

We all know each other, and Akio Matsuda and the others are also good at talking about China, so they stood up and sat down after a while of politeness.

"Mr. Matsuda came to the village this time to continue to engage in that kind of water and soil?" Hu Shijie took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and scattered them.

Cang Hai took a look, and suddenly felt happy, because the cigarettes that the old man took out were soft Chinese. Even in the Chinese New Year, Cang Hai had never seen the old man smoked. He must have a plan for taking out such expensive cigarettes, otherwise he Reluctant, as for what the picture is, it is self-evident.

"We got the approval of the county, but this time we are not only here to measure the hydrology and soil, but also to buy Mr. Canghai's watermelon," Soichiro Oda said.

"Have you harvested melons?" Hu Shijie was delighted when he heard that.

Matsuda Akio nodded and said: "Well, we have already negotiated with Mr. Cang, and we are now arranging transportation, and we can move about the day after tomorrow. At that time, I will ask Mr. Hu to help us to transport the watermelons in the field as soon as possible."

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Hu Shijie said with a smile on his face.

There is absolutely no problem in transporting watermelons, no matter how you say it is a business, if you want to transport watermelons under the current conditions, you must use a cart, how much can a three-wheeled scooter hold.

"What about the others?" Hu Shijie asked.

"Others? Oh, I understand. If you plant them, we will naturally harvest them, but we still have a classification for watermelons..." Matsuda Akio and Hu Shijie talked.

Hu Shijie also understands that he doesn't think Akio Matsuda is troublesome, because apples are sold in different sizes, and watermelons are graded and paid according to quality, so naturally there is no problem at all.

"What I'm talking about is if someone has melons now, will you accept them?" Hu Shijie asked.

After Hu Shijie asked this question, Cang Hai remembered that someone in the village ordered some melons. The amount was not too many and it was only [-] or [-]. Although it was small, there were always some. Everyone wanted to come if there were no Japanese. ask.

Akio Matsuda of Cang Haiqian said to Hu Shijie before agreeing: "Let's take the lead in the village and follow the instructions of County Magistrate Lu."

Canghai is afraid that once the melons are sold, there will be conflicts if the village takes over the rights next year.

Hu Shijie is so shrewd, he knew what Cang Hai was thinking at a guess, and said with a smile: "The village must have taken the lead to do it!"

He is not afraid of other people's gossip, because he has some watermelons at home.

Akio Matsuda doesn't care what the village does, as long as he can receive melons according to the price.

Hu Shijie opened his mouth again and asked: "Then if we grow melons in our village next year, can we also follow this?"

Matsuda Akio said: "It must be based on this price, but we have an idea about this matter, we both signed an exclusive contract, that is, we will buy all the watermelons grown in your village, and you are not allowed to sell melons to others except our company When the time comes, things like prices will be written into the contract in a standardized manner.”

"Of course" Hu Shijie said happily.

Cang Hai thought about it for a while: "This has to go through the county. Without the county's consent, our village does not have such a large piece of land use rights."

Hu Shijie shook his head when he heard it: "Yes! Yes!".

Akio Matsuda said with a smile: "For sure, we naturally hope that the larger the area of ​​watermelon planting next year, the better."

This guy Matsuda Akio was going to come. Seeing that Hu Shijie was happy, he talked about the general things with Hu Shijie, such as how to cooperate, what are the prices of various grades of watermelons, and he also specifically mentioned If the village signs an exclusive supply contract with its own club, then their club will also lend the village a sum of start-up capital for the contract, and guarantee that this sum of money will not be less than 200 million yuan.

Hu Shijie's face twitched with a smile when this series of benefits fell down.I don't know how much this watermelon will sell for next year.Just say that as soon as the 200 million yuan signing money entered the village, Hu Shijie was overjoyed. For a poor village director, let alone 200 million yuan, he had never seen 20 yuan.

I have to say that when doing business in China, the Japanese have inherent conditions better than Europeans and Americans. They understand the domestic situation too well, and the cultural difference is not as big as that of Europeans and Americans. Hu Shijie said in this call that he can't wait to call him tomorrow. The slopes near the village are all planted with watermelons.

Cang Hai rolled his eyes, and found that a figure would flash around his platform from time to time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he knew that the villagers couldn't help it anymore, for them, now that these Japanese came back If you do, it means that you are one step closer to the good life in your heart.

What Cang Hai didn't know was that the villagers had just discussed and sent Hu Shijie over to find out the news, but now Hu Shijie squatted for several 10 minutes, talking with a smile on his face, and the rest of the villagers felt like they were caught by a kitten Same, I really want to know how it turns out.
