Chapter 322

The emergence of the Internet is a good shock to the capitalism that has long been solidified in the United States
When a person can sit in front of a computer and smoothly browse the real-time transaction prices of steel or iron ore, it means that some small and medium-sized business owners will avoid some ineffective social interactions.

Bureaucracy and asking for help aren't just in some worlds

The social structure of capitalism in the West is destined to be neither a buyer's market nor a seller's market.

As a local mechanical processing plant in Georgia, Gries Processing Plant has a very large demand for semi-finished iron products, but because the recent economic situation continues to rise, labor costs are also rising.

However, the volume of products they purchase is not very large, which leads to the continuous increase of their procurement costs.

All costs are rising, which leads to rising prices of products they export to Central America. The continuous rise of some local industries in Panama makes their products less competitive.

"Gris, as I have said many times, the current overall environment in the United States does not support you to continue to persist here. You should move the factory to Mexico like me!"

Greese rubbed his beard with his hands with a gloomy face, and he didn't speak for a long time, but kept looking at the IBM computer website he bought back with a huge sum of money.

"Hukaqi, you know, my daughter is already in elementary school, if I go to Mexico like you, what will happen to her studies!"

Hukaqi sighed helplessly: "Damn you, the alarm clocks you produce can no longer be sold in Central America. If it takes another half a year, your factory will go bankrupt!"

Grace sighed helplessly.
That's right, he is an alarm clock manufacturer. Although the industry threshold is very low, but fortunately their factory has a long history, coupled with his overseas relationships, he has survived many crises.

However, no one thought that the light industry in those countries in Central America would actually develop, and in less than five years, some situations in the export of light industry in the United States would be changed.

For example, Hukaqi, who is sitting opposite him, has left the United States and successfully opened the market in Mexico City in order to allow his furniture factory to have more orders.

"You're right, if my factory doesn't exist, how can my daughter study!"

Gries absently manipulated the mouse in his hand and kept searching the official websites and information of some other companies. Because of the development of the Internet, many companies began to establish their own webpages.

There are even some people who have received a lot of orders in the United States by sending mass emails. He wants to try to see if there are any scammers who can sell his expensive alarm clock.

While he was still flipping through the webpage casually, he suddenly found that an advertisement appeared at the top of the webpage at some point.

【Place an order in a group, so that the cost of your company's procurement of raw materials can be lower, and join a group, so that your company's procurement cost can be lower]

Gris ignored Hukaqi who was on the side, but accidentally clicked on the webpage. When he entered the webpage, he saw the top row of words on the webpage, and immediately relieved most of his doubts.

[12345 network technology investment product, the first company that provides services for enterprises in Pintuantuan Internet]

As for 12345 Network Technology Company, Gries has of course heard of it. This company undertakes the business pick-up service of their company, and the professional managers in their factory bought two Delore V1 cars in private and leased them to them. Some others come sports cars.

And those drivers who lease the car need to pay the owner of the car a rental fee of $300 per month.

As long as these cars can be leased for 2 years, the professional manager can not only get two cars for free, but also pay an extra $600 a month.

It's a good investment.

As soon as he entered the Pintuantuan webpage, Greis saw a very detailed category in an instant. The category not only included some office consumables needed for factory office work, but also computers, network cables, desks and chairs, and even There are also some financial agency bookkeeping services at the bottom.

Gries first clicked on the computer category. There were many models of computers in the computer category. He specifically found the model of the computer he was using and looked at it.

"Fxxk!"

"I was scammed for $700, and it's so much cheaper to buy a computer on this website!"

Hukaqi followed Gliese's line of sight and looked at the past. He was much older than Griess, how could he understand what was on the computer.

"You've been tricked!"

Gris looked at Hukaqi's bewildered expression and shook his head indifferently: "It's not important, it's not important, I may have found a way to save the cost of the enterprise now."

Gries didn't bother to explain to Hukaqi, but carefully read the content on the webpage.

This website called Pintuantuan not only has these things on it, but also some metal products transactions and iron ore transactions.

When Gries saw that some iron ore suppliers turned out to be the well-known BHP Billiton Group and Rio Tinto Group, Gries couldn't help swallowing.

Iron ore including freight is only $310 a ton!
You must know that this is the purchase price of some large enterprises, but he can see it on a website!

Gris resisted the excitement in his heart and slowly swipe the mouse in his hand to search for the page of semi-finished metal products, but he finally found it in the penultimate category of the website after searching for a long time.

However, instead of showing all the prices like metal products, there are a lot of factory OEM lists!

When Gries saw the list of factories here, there were not only factories in the United States, but also some factories in Central America, Asia, and Africa.

When he tentatively clicked on a webpage

A red dialog pops up

【Hi, Panama Metal State-owned Metal OEM Factory is here to serve you~】

Grace used his one-finger Zen to input letter by letter to answer the other party.
[Excuse me, how much does it cost to process semi-finished iron ingots and clips? 】

【Sir, what do you do?We often provide semi-finished products to some automobile factories and small daily necessities factories, and we also have iron products in stock. 】

Gris read the dialogue on the dialog box on the webpage word by word, and then slowly answered the person's answer, holding back the joy in his heart.

And Joshua, who was far away in Baltimore, was standing vigorously in the middle of a huge stage, looking excitedly at the crowd of staff below.

From time to time, someone would send a report to Joshua with a report in his hand.

【Boss, this is an application for factory entry from the UK. The deposit and service fee have already been paid. I hope you can approve it. 】

Joshua took the document and pretended to sign it, then leaned in front of a person's computer and asked, "How is it? Can today's transaction volume exceed 200 million?"

The data specialist carefully reviewed the marked information in the conversation list and happily replied: "There should be no problem. As of 4 o'clock in the afternoon, there have been about 7 orders, most of which are It is from the United States, and there are 3 orders that are being followed up, if one of the 3 orders can be sold, we can break through the turnover of 200 million US dollars!"

Joshua nodded in satisfaction when he heard his subordinate's answer.

Immediately, he signed the entry application in his hand and handed it to the subordinate behind him and replied: "Continue to increase the website promotion in the United States. The labor cost in the United States is high, and many companies need semi-finished products to enter the country. By the way, invite some Mexico or Nicaragua. Foundry companies settled in."

"Okay, Boss."

At this time, Joshua was like a tiger constantly patrolling his territory, trying to pick out the slightest flaw.

Since Tao Xi invested in him three months ago and let him serve as the CEO of this company, he found that his luck is slowly improving.

He not only caught up with the great shift of American manufacturing industry, but also caught up with the strike environment of American labor unions one after another.

But those business owners can't stop their money-making pace because of the employee's strike. At this time, the largest transaction volume of the group group is the processing.

Although the original intention of establishing this company was to enter the raw material trading market, it got such a big return in another industry.

Joshua felt really comfortable. At first, he thought it would take one to two years to create value for his investor Tao Xi.

Joshua, who returned to his own office, kept calculating some data.

Occasionally, he would fetch some futures trading prices passed back from BHP Billiton from the secretary at the door, although there is not much flow in the raw material trading market for group buying.

However, Pintuantuan has become the largest source of information in many raw material trading markets because of the three-month publicity.

Because Pintuantuan has an exclusive page to update the real-time transaction prices of these raw materials, this page has become a reference value for many large companies.

The most visited page in the whole group is not the transaction page, but the interface that can provide the transaction price of raw materials in the international market, even through the feedback from the technicians.

Some IP addresses are one day for browsing the interface

Joshua even maliciously thought that if one day he went to speculate in futures, if he could slightly change the price on this page, would it be possible for him to make a lot of money!
But soon, Joshua couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the announcement that he had been blocked by the five major casinos in the world!
He knew that this was Tao Xi's warning to him, and it was also Tao Xi's warning to him!

If he dared to do something in the business, not only might everything disappear, even his wife might leave him!

Because his wife is now a spokesperson for Sunshine Sports Group.

That's right, Susie used to be a model, and even though she was, his wife had warned him in private that if he messed up this business, not only would the two of them get divorced.

When Susie left, she threatened him that if he took measures, someone would send his mistress in Baltimore to Africa!

This is why Joshua chose the company's address here. Although Baltimore is also a transportation hub in the United States, the more reason is because the mistress gave birth to a son for him!
While Joshua was still remembering, there was an instant chaos at the entrance of the company, and there were even loud noises.

Joshua frowned and opened the office door. Just as he was about to reprimand loudly, he saw a man standing at the door of the data department very low-key, looking at the data content with his hands behind his back.

"Boss!"

Joshua's voice was even more terrifying this time, and Joshua's answer made people very surprised. He who was always serious in the company was so unreserved.

Joshua, who was so pissed and pissed, just jumped up and down next to Tao Xi and kept asking about his health, which made Tao Xi's admirers feel a little embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, I just heard people say that Pintuantuan has developed well recently, so I came here to take a look!"

After looking around the surrounding environment, Tao Xi first took a kraft paper file bag from his subordinates, and then said to Joshua without hesitation: "The company is preparing to go public in half a year, and I will let you know tomorrow." The listing team is here to help you sort out the company's financial situation."

Tao Xi's words immediately made the surrounding employees cheer. After all, everyone knows that the company will definitely develop rapidly after listing, and those employees who grow up with the company will definitely get a lot of remuneration and salary.

Joshua is like a dog

When Tao Xi walked in front, Joshua immediately waved to the group of subordinates dissatisfied with an unhappy expression, signaling them to go to work.

Then he followed Tao Xi's ass into the office in a desperate manner.

For a talent like Joshua, Tao Xi doesn't care, as long as he is self-motivated, everything is fine, and the appearance of the fight is an attempt by him.

But he never thought that such a person could really have shit luck, and he was surprised to run such a company. Even the director of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange took the initiative to contact him.

However, Tao Xi was not very interested in some personal issues of his subordinates, but he didn't want the company to be under-prepared in preparation for listing.

So he put a document handed to him by Dalton Jr. on Joshua's desk.

"Since the company is going public, you need to accept external scrutiny!"

"I'm not very interested in your private life, but someone gave me a document. I suggest you take a good look at it, and your company can also move to Los Angeles next month."

"The city of Baltimore doesn't have the internet gene!"

After Tao Xi said these words, he walked out on his own. When Tao Xi just walked to the door, he heard Joshua screaming.

After all, whoever finds out they can't have children can still have a 3-year-old.
