Chapter 711: The Special Indians

Zhang Yue looked at this guy speechlessly.

What does it mean to use your left hand to go to the toilet without using toilet paper?
Can you please stop being so outrageous?
"So you did that, too?"

Regardless, Dijan is India’s foreign minister.

Zhang Yue felt that the other party should have some moral integrity and at least be more civilized.

Unexpectedly, Di Rang nodded and said, "Yes, I did the same.

This is tradition and cannot be changed.

Just like when you Chinese people eat, no matter they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they are all used to using chopsticks.

Although I am of a higher status, I cannot be treated specially, right? "

Zhang Yue looked at his left hand and was confused for a long time.

Don't we usually use our right hand to shake hands with others? Why do we extend our left hand today?

Seeing that he couldn't accept it for a while, Di Rang quickly said with a smile: "Don't panic, Boss Zhang, I was just joking with you.

That's right, in India, we generally don't shake hands with people with our left hand.

This is very rude.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, left-handed people are an exception.

I am left-handed and I always shake hands with people with my left hand.”

Zhang Yue then breathed a sigh of relief.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Di Rang took Zhang Yue to a place in India specially used to entertain distinguished guests.

This is a five-star hotel, and it is said to be the only five-star hotel within a radius of 100 miles.

The two smiled and sat down.

Di Rang said to Zhang Yue: "Boss Zhang, I heard that you wanted to invest here.

I wonder what you are going to invest in? "

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter which aspect you choose."

Di Rang was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Zhang Yue meant.

Zhang Yue said: "Foreign Minister Dirang, to be honest, I came to India this time mainly to travel around.

Besides, I believe in Buddhism, and India is the birthplace of Buddhism, so...

How should I put it? This is called exploring the origin!"

Dirang smiled instantly.

He was not at all unfamiliar with Zhang Yue's behavior.

In fact, there are many Chinese coming to India every year.

At least two-thirds of these people came for Indian Buddhism.

The reason why Indian Buddhism has spread so widely in China is thanks to a book.

That’s right, this book is Journey to the West.

In Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and his destination was India.

"Since Mr. Zhang said so, I will take you to visit temples in various places tomorrow.

As for investments, what do you think of mobile phones?
Our economic development in India is not as good as that of China, and the configuration of the mobile phones everyone uses is not very good.

Although the Android system has been optimized to the greatest extent, it still lags.

But your Wuji system is different, especially the Wuji system based on the latest version of Wuji language.

This system is made for us Indians.”

Zhang Yue looked at the other party. He never expected that Di Rang knew so much about the Wuji system.

Nodding, Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Sure!

In this way, I will invest 1 billion yuan to establish a Wuji mobile phone brand in India.

This brand mainly produces inorganic mobile phones equipped with stepless systems.

Of course, if you want to produce mobile phones, you must have perfect supporting measures.

I hope you, Foreign Minister Dirang, can help coordinate this.”

In fact, for Zhang Yue, who owns Guangming Electronics Factory, he can just sell the produced mobile phones.

But when investing in India, the most important thing is to help stimulate domestic demand and create jobs.

Only in this way will the Indian government be willing to give itself various preferential policies.

If it is produced directly in the country, then it is equivalent to the foreign trade procedure.

In that case, let alone asking the Indian Foreign Minister to meet him in person, even an ordinary Indian civil servant would not pay attention to him.

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhang Yue's words, Di Rang smiled and said, "Great, don't worry about that. I will definitely help you coordinate it."

After saying this, he took out his phone and operated it for a moment, then suddenly raised his head:
"Mr. Zhang, maybe you won't be able to go to those temples tomorrow."

Zhang Yue was a little confused, and only heard the other party explain: "Didn't you ask me to help you coordinate partners?
It just so happens that the person in charge of Foxconn wants to meet me tomorrow.

Foxconn is now the largest mobile phone OEM factory in India. I will contact the heads of other factories you need later.

We sat together to discuss and finalize the order.

This way I can rest assured, and you can rest assured too, what do you think? "

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment.

If Dirang was talking about other companies, he naturally wouldn't care.

But now that the other party specifically mentioned Foxconn, Zhang Yue couldn't help but think of the time when he took over Foxconn's Zhongzhou factory.

He thought that once Foxconn left Zhongzhou, the two sides would never have any contact again.

I didn’t expect the world to be so small. I heard news about the other party on the first day I arrived in India.

Nodding, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "My business is not urgent. Just let you arrange everything."

What he said was the truth.

Because Zhang Yue discovered that as soon as he arrived in India, his previous special body reactions disappeared.

Now he has returned to his original vigor and vitality.

Since this is the case, Zhang Yue is naturally in the mood to do something else.

the next day.

When Zhang Yue woke up, it was already 8:30 in the morning.

After stretching, he felt full of strength all over his body.

Zhang Yue was not surprised that breakfast consisted of fried dough sticks, soy milk and buns.

Elsewhere in India, the meals served in restaurants all have a very strong Indian flavour.

But this is a five-star hotel, specially used to entertain foreign guests.

The hotel will provide whatever guests want to eat.

For example, the breakfast nowadays was specially arranged by Zhang Yue.

There are not only fried dough sticks and buns, but also chopsticks.

After breakfast, Foreign Minister Di Rang also came.

"Mr. Zhang, did you sleep well last night?"

Zhang Yue nodded: "Thank you! It's very nice, I like it here very much."

"That's good!"

Foreign Minister Dirang said: "The person in charge of Foxconn has arrived, please follow me!"

Zhang Yue followed the other party to the conference room on the second floor.

When he walked in, there were already several people sitting inside.

Zhang Yue looked around and suddenly froze.

Because he found that one of them was not a stranger to him.

Zuo Pingyang?
Isn’t this guy the deputy production manager of Foxconn in Zhongzhou?

Why did you run to India?

When Zhang Yue saw Zuo Pingyang, Zuo Pingyang also saw him.

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Zuo Pingyang took the initiative to extend his hand: "Boss Zhang, long time no see."

Zhang Yue was a little embarrassed.

He has not forgotten that he pretended to be a Foxconn employee to defend his rights and confronted the other party head-on.

The key point is that he pretends to be a Foxconn employee to defend his rights, and then reveals his true identity to play a double act.

He thought Zuo Pingyang didn't know about this, but after hearing what the other party said, he obviously recognized him.

However, Zhang Yue's embarrassment only lasted for a moment.

The next moment, he said calmly, "It turns out to be Director Zuo. Nice to meet you!" Di Rang was a little surprised: "So you two have known each other for a long time, so there's no need for me to introduce you."

Then he began to introduce other people to Zhang Yue.

These people are all owners of local Indian companies.

When Di Rang introduced someone, Zhang Yue greeted the other person with a smile and his attitude was very friendly.

But Dirang talked about it all, and he didn't remember a single one.

There was no way. In Zhang Yue's eyes, all these people were dark and thin, and looked similar.

Especially their names, each one is more tongue-twisting than the other.

After the introduction, Di Rang stated the purpose of today.

That is Zhang Yue investing 1 billion yuan to produce mobile phones.

Zhang Yue immediately stood up after hearing this and said: "It is my honor that you are here today.

As for our cooperation, I don’t know much about India.

So I asked Dee to let the Foreign Minister be my spokesperson.

In other words, we will cooperate with you in whatever way he thinks is best.

I always listen to him."

When these Indian bosses heard Zhang Yue’s words, they immediately applauded excitedly.

Since they were called over by Di Rang, the relationship between the two sides must be good.

Before coming, everyone was a little worried. After all, in their impression, Chinese people are known to be shrewd.

Whether I can reach a cooperation with the other party is still unknown.

Now that Zhang Yue has directly delegated his power, he can just go find Di Rang.

And given the relationship between him and Di Rang, the order was a sure thing.

Di Rang didn't expect Zhang Yue to say that. He looked at Zhang Yue gratefully and said, "Don't worry, Boss Zhang. I will definitely help you coordinate this matter."

"Then thank you, Minister Dirang."

Zhang Yue said this, and then came to Zuo Pingyang.

Rather than being polite with Di Rang, he was obviously more interested in Zuo Pingyang.

"It seems that Director Zuo has made a fortune in India!"

What he said was the truth.

Compared with his mediocre days at Foxconn in Zhongzhou, Zuo Pingyang now wears a suit and tie and looks like a successful person.

This is understandable.

At Foxconn in Zhongzhou, Zuo Pingyang is the deputy factory manager in charge of production.

But he has no power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a nobody.

Otherwise, if he had followed a group of actors to defend their rights, Foxconn would not have sent him out.

But now it's obviously different.

Dijang said yesterday that the head of Foxconn in India would come today.

That is to say, all Foxconn’s branches in India are now under the management of Zuo Pingyang.

A typical top leader, except for the big boss of Foxconn, he has the final say here.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Pingyang had a bitter smile on his face: "Boss Zhang, please stop mocking me.

And make a fortune, I came to India just to take the blame."

"Take the blame?" Zhang Yue was puzzled. "What does that mean?"

"What else can it mean? Foxconn's plan to move its factory from Zhongzhou to India has completely failed.

The current Indian branch is more of an empty shell than an electronics foundry."

Zhang Yue was stunned: "What did you say?
Foxconn's plan to move to India has failed, right?
Labor is so cheap here, and the Indian government has also offered you a lot of preferential conditions.

If this fails, I have to doubt your ability now."

Zuo Pingyang nodded: "You are right.

Don't say that you doubt my ability, even I doubt my own ability.

But no matter what, it's a fact.

I came to see Dirang today not to cooperate with you, but to protest against him."

"Protest him? Protest what?"

"Of course it's the workers in the factory. You don't know..."

Zuo Pingyang was halfway through his speech when he suddenly waved his hand and said, "Forget it. This matter is hard to explain in a few words. You will understand it yourself later."

Zhang Yue nodded: "Will your protest be effective?"

Speaking of this, Zuo Pingyang looked up at Di Rang, his face full of helplessness: "It works, but it also doesn't work."

"What do you mean?"

“It’s very simple. The Foreign Minister is well aware of the difficulties Foxconn is facing in India, and he is actively trying to help me solve the problem.

But the problem is that he has no ability to solve this problem.

It's like he's shaking your hand.

When you first came, did you shake his hand with your left hand? "

Zhang Yue nodded: "Yes."

Then he suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do Indians really not use toilet paper when they go to the toilet?
I'm talking about the rich people here."

Zuo Pingyang nodded: "Really, it's a tradition.

But Foreign Minister Dijang is an exception. He is very capable and ambitious.

He hopes to change the current India through his actions.

Unfortunately, the results were minimal.”

"What do you mean?"

"It's simple. You know the caste system in India, right?"

Zhang Yue nodded. Of course he had heard about this.

“The main reason for India’s economic development is the caste system.

Because if a country wants to boost its economy, it depends on everyone, not just a small group of people.

Just like Foxconn, we set up a factory here, firstly to make money for ourselves, and secondly to create an opportunity for Indians to make money.

Although the money they earned was not much, it was enough to improve their family.

But the problem is that because of this caste system, we have encountered great difficulties in recruiting workers.

The caste system is based on genes, not on personal wealth.

People of high caste can be rich, but they can also be poor.

People of low caste may be poor, but they may also be rich.

We were originally recruiting all young workers.

As a result, all they attracted were poor people from high castes.

I didn't quite understand this at first, but after asking, I found out that people of higher castes feel that people of lower castes are not worthy of working with them.

So they come to work, and people of lower castes cannot come.

What do you mean by this? "

Zhang Yue's eyelids also twitched twice: "So that's why you came here?"

"Yes! Although those high-caste people are poor, they are poor only in material terms, not in spirit.

These guys work in the factory for eight hours, but they don't get as much done as Chinese workers do in one hour.

Their slacking attitude makes me angry...

I wanted to fire them, but found out that I couldn't.

Because people of higher castes are superior in India, they can do whatever they want.

No one can fire them unless they themselves are unwilling to do it.

In other words, I am taking the highest salary and supporting a group of lazy people.

Their salary is indeed not as high as in China, only about 600 yuan per person per month.

But the problem is that Chinese workers only do work worth 6,000 yuan.

They get paid six hundred dollars but can't even do a job that pays three hundred dollars.

Do you think Foxconn can survive here?"

Zhang Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead. He could imagine Zuo Pingyang's helplessness when facing those Indians.

My own Wuji mobile phone will not follow the same fate as the other party, right?
