Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 585 Anti-Dumping Act

Shi Jinhua said: "I just went to Optoelectronics, and I met Lu's richest man by accident. I talked with Lu's richest man about Ace's current situation. It is also what Lu's richest man told me .Ace’s products can’t be sold domestically, so they can be exported to earn foreign exchange.”

Hearing that it was Lu Yiming who said this, Li Dongsheng's expression softened a lot.He recalled the things about Lu Yiming's dominance in the United States, so he couldn't wait to ask: "What? Did the richest man Lu agree to help us sell TVs to the United States?"

At this time, the United States is the largest consumer market in the world, and TVs are very popular in the United States. Who doesn't care about such a big piece of fat?
Ace had no way out before, but in fact he was on the verge of crying.

However, Shi Jinhua's words once again shattered Li Dongsheng's fantasy: "It is true that it is exported, but it is not sold to the United States, but to Mexico, the neighbor of the United States."

"What the hell? The country of Mexico?"

To be honest, if Li Dongsheng didn't know Shi Jinhua, he would have thought that Shi Jinhua was being impersonated and came here to make him happy.

In his impression, the country of Mo is full of deserts and cacti, that poor place is poorer than Xia country, can Ace TV really be sold?

Li Dongsheng's reaction was not at all what Shi Jinhua expected.Because when he heard this from Lu Yiming, his reaction was exactly the same as Li Dongsheng's now.

Shi Jinhua patiently explained to Li Dongsheng: "Listen to me first. The richest man Lu told me that there is a dumping act in the United States. If you sell your TV directly, you will violate their law. Not only can you not get it Money, and it may get you caught and sent to jail."

Li Dongsheng heard his blood pressure rise, and shouted: "Isn't this nonsense? How can there be such a business?"

Shi Jinhua waved his hand, signaling Li Dongsheng to calm down, and then continued: "Don't worry about getting angry, just listen to me. This TV set of yours will eventually enter the American market. It's just that you need to use the Mexican country first. Use it as a transit point, and then enter the American market from Mexico."

"According to Lu's analysis, there is no way for Trump to enter the American market through formal channels. Not to mention the bill I mentioned just now, our country has not yet officially joined the WTO. If your TV is sold directly to the United States , It is estimated that the little money earned is not enough to pay the fine. So this compromise method is adopted. Simply put, it is smuggling."

Pull the goods to Mexico, take the money and leave, and then let the "local residents" there sell the products to the United States. Even if the United States is unreasonable, it is impossible to directly attack the trump card-the Mexicans are smuggling, and What does my trump card matter?
After hearing this method, Li Dongsheng was numb, and said with emotion: "The richest man in Lu can play. No wonder he is worth hundreds of millions at a young age. With this brain circuit, he deserves to make a lot of money."

I have to say that this routine is so coquettish that Li Dongsheng is very excited.Anyway, his demand is to sell the TV set and not let the company lose money.As for who to sell to, it doesn't really matter.As a qualified businessman, he is only responsible for money.

Seeing that Li Dongsheng seemed to understand what he said, Shi Jinhua said, "You should contact Lu Shoufu yourself on this matter. This matter involves diplomacy, so it is inconvenient for the officials to participate. I came here today to pass on a message, so don't say it outside. "

Li Dongsheng is not a stunned young man, Shi Jinhua has already talked about this, of course he knows what he can and cannot do.The sadness on his face had disappeared, replaced by a smile.He sincerely said to Shi Jinhua: "Secretary Shi, I have really worked hard for you. You have been busy with the trump card. Don't worry, God knows this matter."

Li Dongsheng personally sent Shi Jinhua out of the office, but he didn't expect to meet the company's vice president Yang Xiaopeng at the corner of the corridor just after he left.

"Hey, Secretary Shi? Why are you here? Could it be that our loan application has been approved?"

For the current ace, there is nothing more important than getting an official loan to continue his life.

Seeing Shi Jinhua's gloomy expression, Li Dongsheng guessed that Shi Jinhua might be a little upset about meeting Yang Xiaopeng suddenly, and immediately said: "Don't think about the loan. It's not like you don't know about the past two years. The bank is very tight now. , In our situation, it’s no use at all. My secretary Toshi found me a few books before, and today he sent them to me.”

Shi Jinhua said helplessly: "Yeah, the financial aspect is really difficult now. They are all supporting the construction of various places, and they can't spend much money. You can only find a way to help yourself."

What he was talking about was the technical bankruptcy of the four major banks in [-]. Because there were too many bad debts and the banks didn't have enough money, naturally they couldn't easily grant loans to companies like before.

Coupled with the loss of the entire industry of color TV manufacturers, under such circumstances, the financial vampires who give umbrellas in sunny days and receive umbrellas in rainy days are even less likely to continue the life of Trump's blood transfusion.

Hearing that the money was not sent, Yang Xiaopeng immediately became angry and muttered: "Those of us who are serious about running businesses can't get money, but those..."

Li Dongsheng quickly said: "What are you talking about? Of course, the country has national considerations. We have to take care of the overall situation, do you understand? Okay, you go back to the office first, and I will tell you after I send Secretary Shi down."

After Li Dongsheng sent Shi Jinhua away, he found Yang Xiaopeng and said, "Get ready, we will go to Baiyun City later."

Yang Xiaopeng felt strange and asked, "What are you doing in Baiyun City?"

Li Dongsheng smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to meet the big shot."

"Who?"

"The richest man in Lu."

On this day, Lu Yiming planned to go to school in the afternoon, so Ning Xuehua bought a lot of vegetables in the morning and planned to cook some delicious food for Lu Yiming at noon.As a result, at around ten o'clock in the morning, Duan Letian's family of four came to the door with large and small gifts.

"Hey, cousin, uncle, why are you here?"

Luo Rujun smiled and said, "Of course I came to thank you. Your uncle is now the vice president."

Uncle Duan Xulin looked at Lu Yiming with gratitude: "Thanks for the information you gave me."

Of course what he was talking about was the matter of Ning Xuehua being cheated out of money.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Congratulations, Uncle Biao."

Duan Letian has grown a lot taller, and he doesn't look as fat as before. Obviously, he is definitely not having a good time at home during this time.

Hearing Lu Yiming say that there will be a lot of dishes at noon, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Ah, I want to eat shrimp, I want to eat oysters, I want to eat..."

Duan Hongxin interrupted his younger brother's spellcasting directly, and said: "You haven't lost weight yet, you just want to eat!"

Duan Letian covered his head with an aggrieved face, and said to Lu Yiming with a sad face: "Cousin, I haven't eaten meat for three months, three months! I'm going to die!"

Duan Hongxin said contemptuously: "Did you die without eating meat for three months? You watched those monks on TV, didn't they die if they didn't eat meat for 30 years?"

Duan Letian retorted: "Then they are fatter than me."

At this moment, the doorbell rang again, Duan Xulin was beside him, and opened the door without any hassle.

"Hello, is this the richest man in Lu's family? I'm Li Dongsheng, the chairman of Ace Group. This is Yang Xiaopeng, the vice president of our company."

Seeing the man in front of him who claimed to be the chairman of Trump Group, Duan Xulin was stunned.Ace is a well-known company in Guangdong Province, but Li Dongsheng, the boss of Ace, actually came to see Lu Yiming in person?

Although he knew that Lu Yiming was the richest man, it was only now that Duan Xulin understood the weight of the richest man.

"Hello, hello."

Duan Xulin has just become the president of the bank. Although it is a branch, it is not easy for an ordinary family like him.At this time, the boss of Ace was standing in front of him, and his mind suddenly became active.

This is a potential big client.

"I'm the uncle of the richest man in Lu, my name is Duan Xulin, and I'm currently the president of a certain bank branch."

Speaking of which, a small sub-branch president is someone that Li Dongsheng doesn't even take seriously.With their identities, if they want to discuss tasks with the bank, they must at least be the president of the regional branch to be qualified to do so.

However, the status of "the cousin of the richest man in Lu" made Li Dongsheng dare not make any mistakes. He took the initiative to shake hands with Duan Xulin, greeted him with a smile, "Being a branch president at such a young age, the future is limitless."

Seeing Li Dongsheng take the initiative to shake hands with him, Duan Xulin was so excited that he was trembling all over.

After shaking hands, Duan Xulin hurriedly shouted into the room: "Xiao Ming, Chairman Li of Ace Group is here with Vice President Yang."

Lu Yiming came over, shook hands with the two, smiled slightly, and said, "Welcome, welcome. Let's chat in my study."

"it is good."

Watching Lu Yiming bring the two of them into the study, Duan Xulin's eyes were shining, he rubbed his hands excitedly, and said to Luo Rujun, "I have a hunch, I seem to be posting again this time."

In the study, Li Dongsheng said straight to the point: "Mr. Lu, thank you for pointing out the way for Ace."

Although this path is very risky, the rewards are also huge.

Selling TVs to Mexicans also earns dollars. For Trump, it is no different from selling directly to the United States.

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, and said: "Supporting the country's manufacturing industry has always been the purpose of my practice. President Li doesn't need to praise too much."

On the way here, Li Dongsheng revealed to Yang Xiaopeng that he asked Lu Yiming for advice, and Lu Yiming asked them to export Trump's products to Mexico, and then hinted that he could smuggle them to the United States.

Yang Xiaopeng couldn't help asking: "Wouldn't this offend the American government? They're not stupid, aren't they still engaged in dumping in essence?"

When Lu Yiming heard it, he immediately became amused: "Who in this world has hatred against whom? To put it bluntly, it's all about interests. The prosperity of the world is for profit. In the United States, the interests of politicians and the interests of the country are A lot of times it’s actually two different things.”

Li Dongsheng was a little puzzled, and asked, "Mr. Lu, what do you say?"

After all, it is related to the future development of Ace. Li Dongsheng dare not take it lightly. Of course, he hopes to understand the better.He didn't want to be on the blacklist of the United States in a daze.

Lu Yiming directly pointed out: "Ace's products enter the American market, and the interests of some commercial companies are only damaged, and it is irrelevant to politicians."

Yang Xiaopeng has never been abroad, let alone the political ecology of these countries, so he asked, "Is that so?"

Lu Yiming said: "The TV industry in the United States has long been destroyed. The products sold in the local market are either Sony in the island country or Philips in Europe. Anyway, they are all foreign brands. Is there any difference for the United States?"

Li Dongsheng was stunned, he became even more confused, and couldn't help asking: "In this case, why did President Lu think that the Department of Commerce of the United States would definitely issue a fine for our trump card product?"

Products from other countries can be sold, but the products from my country of Xia have to be sold to the country of Mexico before being smuggled into the United States. Is Xia country inferior?
Lu Yiming said solemnly: "Mr. Li, European companies and island country companies all paid the road money. They also have a special team to 'lobby' American politicians. Have you Trump paid the money?"

These words directly refreshed Li Dongsheng's three views. After all, he has been working hard in China, and his understanding of America comes entirely from newspapers and media.

He used to think that the politics of the United States were clear and the officials were honest and honest. Hearing what Lu Yiming said now, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Are the politicians in the United States so greedy? What about being honest and honest? Buying road money? Why do I sound like the bandit Roadhog in martial arts novels? I opened this road and I planted this tree. Yes, stay to buy road money?"

Lu Yiming warned them: "You don't have to worry about the bad name of smuggling. If Trump really wants to enter the American market, he must be familiar with the rules of the game there. As for now, making money is more important. American politicians change every few years. At this time, the trump card can make money first, and then slowly launder it later."

Li Donglai understood Lu Yiming's meaning, and it doesn't matter if he offends the United States. When he makes money, Trump can also spend money to "lobby" politicians, making black things white.

In the United States, as long as the money is in place, there is nothing wrong with it.

Hearing this, Li Donglai was also deeply touched, and praised the American system, thinking it is very capitalist.

"Okay, then listen to you."

Afterwards, the three chatted for a while in the study, and Lu Yiming even promised to help Li Donglai open up sales channels in Mexico.

Coming out of the study, the kitchen is already full of excitement.Lu Yiming then said to Li Dongsheng and Yang Xiaopeng: "Both of you, it's time for dinner soon, why don't you leave after eating."

Li Dongsheng couldn't wait to go back to the company to implement the plan, so he couldn't sit still, and immediately declined: "We won't eat, and we have to go back to the meeting to discuss. You eat and drink well."

Lu Ding, who was helping in the kitchen, stretched out his head and said, "There's no need to be so anxious. You can leave after eating. There won't be much time wasted. The food will be on the table immediately."

Li Dongsheng said: "It's no big deal, you guys have a few more drinks. When the matter is resolved, I'll come over and buy you a drink."

Looking at the high-spirited trump card that was so prosperous before, and now it has fallen into this field, Lu Ding recalled the mold factory he had worked hard for half his life, and it also ended dismal, and he immediately said with emotion: "It's not easy to do business these days. Do it well. It’s true that you can make a lot of money, but if you don’t do well, it’s easy to lose money and go bankrupt, and some people even have to go to jail. Do you know Hu Zhibiao of Aiduo?”

Although in the early years of the late 90s and early 21st century, business opportunities were everywhere in Xia Kingdom, and there were big gold mines waiting for the lucky ones to dig everywhere, but actually doing business is still a fairly high-risk industry.

Lu Yiming said, "I watched the news."

The case of Aiduo was sentenced in June. As the founder of Aiduo VCD, Hu Zhibiao, who had a great reputation, was detained by the Shantou police. He was sentenced to 6 years in prison and a fine of 19 yuan for three crimes.

This case caused an uproar in the entire business community of Xia Kingdom.

Who is Hu Zhibiao?
After graduating from high school, a poor boy repaired TVs and made transformers for a living. Then he started from scratch and transformed himself. At the age of 27, he led Aiduo VCD to create a production value of 27 billion. He was interviewed by an American reporter in the United States. It skyrocketed to $68 in two days.

He even received the highest standard reception at Philips headquarters in the Netherlands - red carpet plus private jet!
At the end of 2.1, Hu Zhibiao became CCTV's "Biao Wang" in 98 with a bid price of [-] million yuan. He created the first case of suspense marketing in Xiaguo, the first case of giant outdoor advertisements for investment promotion, and truly created in the shortest time. "Aiduo Myth" has dominated the "Aiduo" brand in the shortest time, driving a major change in the marketing model of Xia's home appliance industry.

And it was such an entrepreneur who was finally sued for fraud and lost the lawsuit.

Even Hu Zhibiao's competitors felt that the penalty was outrageous, and Lu Yiming knew it better. A few years later, the Guangdong Provincial Higher Court's second trial ruled that "Aiduo" was not guilty of fraud, and sentenced Hu Zhibiao to eight years in prison and a fine of 25 yuan. And in [-], he was granted parole and released from prison.

In fact, Hu Zhibiao was charged with misappropriation of funds. This is an old problem that many entrepreneurs have committed. They treat the company’s money directly as their own money. Many founders went in and stepped on the sewing machine because of this crime.Of course, the root cause of the Dongchuang incident was a disagreement within the company.

Companies with more shareholders are more vulnerable to similar backstabbing for founders.

Lu Yiming knew very well that Lu Ding's sudden mention of Aiduo was to make Lu Yiming beware.After all, Ace is not an ordinary company, it has a very complicated background.With Lu Yiming's current limelight, it is easy to be targeted by "other" shareholders.At that time, the end is estimated to be worse than Hu Zhibiao.

"Don't worry, dad, I didn't invest in Ace, and I won't get involved. I'm just a person who gives ideas and provides assistance."
