I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.
Chapter 191 4Hai Mobile recruitment triggers a nationwide wave of resignations
Chapter 191 Sihai Mobile Recruitment Triggers a Massive Resignation Wave Nationwide
Yang Chen could understand Holdan’s nervousness and urgency. A country like the Sand Country that survived by selling oil did not have any manufacturing industry to speak of. The mobile phones they used were all brands controlled by Western countries, such as Fruit and Sanxing.
The Squid Country can cause pagers, mobile phones and other electronic products held by people from the Bale Country to explode at a targeted location, and it can also cause mobile phones and other electronic products held by people from the Sand Country to explode at a targeted location.
Although the conditions for this to happen are harsh, no one wants to carry a time bomb with them every day, right?
Yang Chen immediately replied: “Prince Haldan, I understand your situation. But you have also seen how great the demand for our phone is now. Domestic scalpers have already sold it for 10 yuan each. Our flagship store has already pre-sold more than 1000 million phones waiting for delivery, and our production capacity is only 10 units a day. You want 1000 million units all at once, it’s really hard for us to satisfy you.”
Haldan immediately said, “In business, you have to make money in any way you can. We have some low-end, medium-end, and high-end versions of your phone, all for 5000 Eagle Coins. You just need to ensure that Sihai assembles it within a month and then directly airfreights it to our country, without any third party having any contact in between. How do you do it?”
Yang Chen quickly explained: “Prince Haldan, this is really not about money. We really can’t meet the production volume.”
“Mr. Yang, please understand our situation. It’s not pleasant to carry a time bomb with you every day. How about this? We raise the price to 8000 Eagle Coins per unit. Can you give us priority in supply?”
The rich are so impatient when doing things. They always think that money can solve all problems. If the problem cannot be solved, it must be because the money is not enough. Adding a little more will definitely solve it.
It turns out that their approach was correct.
Selling one to them is equivalent to selling 7-8 to the domestic market. Anyone with a normal brain would know what to choose.
Yang Chen smiled and said, “Prince Haldan’s sincerity is overflowing, I’m really embarrassed to refuse again. Then I will temporarily add a few production lines and make it as soon as possible and hand it over to you.”
Holden immediately held Yang Chen’s hand and said, “Hey, this is our good friend. When you make computers, we will definitely purchase your computers and replace all the ones we are using now. It’s better to use your Dragon Country’s products. We only trust Dragon Country people now.”
Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said: “Our laptops, pads and other products are all under development and will be on the market soon. I will notify you then.”
“Okay, okay. Let’s sign the contract quickly. I’ll give you the money first. When you’re done, you can arrange a plane to send it over. We’ll pay the freight ourselves.” said Haldan.
When doing business, you cannot just take advantage of others. You must give your customers some benefits when necessary. Only in this way can the business last long.
Yang Chen smiled and said, “The price Mr. Holdan gave is already very high, so let us bear the shipping cost. I will rent a ship to deliver the goods to you, and ensure that it will not be touched by a third party during the whole process. In addition, we will open a flagship store in the Sand Country as soon as possible to provide experience and after-sales service to customers there.”
Haldan laughed loudly and said, “Great, great, now that you have sold the Y-20, we are completely relieved. Come on, come on, sign the contract quickly.”
The two parties signed the contract immediately, and Haldan could not wait to pay the full amount of 800 billion Eagle Coins.
If it were any other country, they would never do such a thing.
But the Sand Nation is willing to spend so much money to do this kind of thing. After all, their relationship with the Squid Nation is not good, and it can even be said to be a hostile relationship. Those wealthy tycoons don’t want to carry a bomb on their bodies every day.
You can earn money again if you lose it, it’s just a matter of selling a few more barrels of oil, but if you lose your life, you will lose this wonderful life, no matter how much money you have left.
At this time, it was evening when the bald eagle was about to arrive.
Fruit President Kurk is madly outputting to the Ministry of Commerce Raventon.
“Fuck! Fuck! Those Squid guys are all idiots, so stupid! How could they do such a thing? This will seriously affect our sales! I have received news that the Sand Country has sent a purchasing team to Dragon Country Jiangcheng to buy Sihai mobile phones. You son of a bitch, do you know how many customers we will lose as a result of this?”
Raventon replied helplessly, “Mr. Kurk, calm down. We haven’t received any news about this. Squid did it on his own, and we are helpless. We will increase the restrictions on Sihai mobile phones. Tomorrow I will go to the Sand Country and order them not to purchase Sihai mobile phones on a large scale. Don’t worry, Fruit will still be the second best-selling mobile phone in the world. No one can change this situation, not even Yang Chen!”
Kurk said, “You must control the squids and don’t let them mess around. Fuck, he got into a fight with someone else and I have to pay for the military expenses. That’s too damn abominable!”
“I understand, I understand. In addition, your technology must also make some progress. Every generation of fruit phones only changes the camera, which is really uncreative. This is because you have a group of die-hard fans, otherwise how could your recent phones have good sales. Look at the technological content of Sihai mobile phones. Any selling point given to other brands can make a flagship phone and sell it for a year. They put so much high-tech on a mobile phone at once, and the price is so cheap. How can their phones not be popular?” said Raventon.
This is not Reventon complaining about fruit. Even Elon Masters tweeted that the innovative technology of the new Apple model has changed the position of the camera.
While other mobile phone brands are desperately innovating, Apple phones have been relying on their old reputation. Sooner or later, they will be eliminated by consumers.
Kurk rolled his eyes at Raventon and said, “You just open your mouth and say that. Do you think technological innovation is that easy? Our products are so perfect that it’s difficult to innovate a little more. Do you understand?”
Ravington smiled awkwardly and ignored him.
At this moment, the assistant rushed in and said to Raventon, “Minister Raventon, it’s bad. There’s news from Dragon Country that Sihai Mobile has signed a contract with Sand Country. Sand Country will purchase 1000 million Sihai mobile phones to replace its own Sanxing, Fruit, Black Rose and other brands of mobile phones. The contract has been signed and Sand Country has paid the full amount in one lump sum.”
Kurk was stunned with his hands on his head. There are only more than 3000 million people in the Kingdom of Sand. Nearly one-third of the population have to replace their mobile phones at once. Basically, all the people above the middle class can be replaced. The remaining people at the lower level probably cannot afford Apple phones, which means that high-end brands such as Apple have lost the market in the Kingdom of Sand.
Raventon was furious, slammed the table and said, “Are they crazy? Purchasing so many mobile phones at once, they have more money than they can spend, right? Fuck! I’m going to call their business department right now and ask them what they want to do!”
Raventon called Faisal, the Minister of Commerce of the Kingdom of Sand. As soon as the call was connected, she asked: “What on earth do you want to do? Didn’t you see the restriction order issued by our country? We do not allow any country or region other than Dragon Country to purchase Sihai mobile phones. Why do you want to purchase 1000 million Sihai mobile phones? If you feel that you have too much money to spend, you can give it to us and we will help you spend it on more meaningful things!”
Faisal immediately replied: “Don’t you know why? Who wants to carry a time bomb with them every day? Now we only trust products from Longguo. Any products from Western countries are not worthy of trust! You have no moral principles at all. As long as you can achieve your goals, you can do anything. You can even do shameless things like detonating pagers and cell phones. You still have the nerve to ask me why? We are a sovereign state, not your colony. We have the right to decide how to conduct international exchanges and whose products we buy. You have no right to interfere!”
Raventon explained: “Hasn’t Fruit already issued an announcement? In peacetime, the remote detonation function will not be used easily. What are you afraid of?”
“Oh, it won’t be used easily, which means it can be used? I will install a remote-controlled bomb on you, and I promise you that I will not use it easily. Are you willing?” Faisal asked back.
Raventon was speechless and even felt a little guilty.
In fact, the bald eagle, including people in other Western countries, knows that their behavior is shameless and hypocritical, and they have been slapped in the face by reporters more than once. However, they are just used to doing this. Whenever they are asked questions that they cannot answer, they pretend to be stupid and continue to do shameless and hypocritical things.
Raventon remained silent, and Faisal continued, “We have already signed the contract and paid the money. No one can change this fact, not even you, the Bald Eagle.”
“Fuck! Why are you so tough? ” Ravington asked.
Faisal smiled and replied, “Because we are friends of Dragon Country now, we have bought a lot of equipment from them, and they promised to provide subsequent maintenance services. Isn’t that enough? Wake up, your era is over.” Faisal hung up the phone immediately, leaving Raventon staring at the phone in a daze.
Kurk knew from the look on Ravington’s face that the negotiation was not successful. He stood up anxiously and said, “Look, look, you said you would go to the Sand Country tomorrow, but they have already signed the contract and paid the full amount in one lump sum. No one can change this situation. Damn, stupid squids, they are killing us!”
Ravington remained silent and gently put down the phone.
No matter what we say now, it will be useless. The 1000 million mobile phones in the Sand Country have too much destructive power.
At this time, the Longguo network was in an uproar.
“Oh my god, what is this rich guy going to do? 1000 million phones. There are only million people in their country. They are going to replace all the phones used by middle-class people and above with Sihai phones.”
“Haha… Thanks to Squid for his help. If they hadn’t targeted the people of Paler, the Sand Country wouldn’t be so scared. Just wait and see, other countries in that area will definitely follow suit and purchase Sihai mobile phones to replace Western brands.”
“I think the Sihai YC-1 is still too expensive. They should make another affordable phone, priced at 1999. This price will definitely be very popular in that area. Hundreds of millions of people there may switch to Sihai phones.”
“The Bald Eagle dragged their allies to restrict Sihai mobile phones, but in the end, the restrictions were in vain. Given the popularity of Sihai mobile phones, as long as the production speed of Sihai mobile phones can keep up, the shipment volume of Sihai mobile phones this year will exceed that of fruit.”
……
The heated discussion on Longguo Network soon spread to foreign online platforms, and foreigners became jealous again.
Korean netizens: Are the big dog owners crazy? Even if they are not confident about Apple phones, they should buy our Sanxing phones? Sanxing phones are the best-selling phones in the world, why would they buy phones made by a company that just started out?
Sakura Country Netizen: Don’t be jealous, Koreans. Other mobile phones need remote control to detonate, but your Sanxing mobile phone will explode by itself. Who dares to use it? Besides, everyone knows that you Koreans are a dog raised by the Bald Eagle family. What is the difference between your mobile phone brand and that of Fruit? The Bald Eagle asked you to upgrade the background program, causing the battery to overload and explode. Do you dare not do it? The rise of the Dragon Country is unstoppable. Everyone should quickly adjust your strategy towards the Dragon Country. Don’t wait until they point out your mistakes with modern history, then it will be too late.
Bald Eagle Netizen: The Sand Country is getting more and more presumptuous. We are already very angry about allowing non-Eagle currency to settle oil, and we are even more furious about not renewing the garrison. Now they dare to purchase Sihai mobile phones against our will, and they are purchasing 1000 million at a time. This is simply not taking us seriously. You’d better take it easy. If you are beaten to the ground one day, don’t cry and say you are wrong.
Netizen from Sand Country: When civilian BB machines and mobile phones can be used to stab people, everyone should know that brand products from the West and countries controlled by the West are not trustworthy. Looking around the world, only Longguo is trustworthy. Their products are not only of high quality and high technology, but also very safe. We have cooperated with them for decades, and we know it best. You have destroyed your own reputation with your own hands, so don’t blame us for completely turning to Longguo. In addition to buying mobile phones, we also bought a lot of equipment, including Dongfeng Express. We are not afraid of threats from anyone, so don’t use that trick to scare us.
Persian cat netizen: It seems that we have to change our mobile phones, but the Sihai mobile phone is too expensive. I heard that the purchase price of the Sand Country is as high as 8000 Eagle Coins. We simply cannot afford such a high price. I hope they can produce a civilian mobile phone, 200-300 Eagle Coins will be very suitable.
Netizen from India: Looking at the whole of Asia, our country is the most technologically advanced country. If you don’t trust Western brands, you can buy our JioPhone, which has much higher technological content than Sihai phones. Moreover, we are the most powerful country in Asia, and no one can order us to do anything. You don’t have to worry about security issues.
South Korean netizens: Who is so crazy as to buy an Indian mobile phone? Do you want to experience the feeling of excessive E. coli? When it comes to technology and development, we are the first and only country in Asia. You Indians should build toilets first.
……
Domestic netizens suggested that Sihai launch an affordable mobile phone, and foreign netizens also suggested that Sihai launch an affordable mobile phone.
To do business, one must listen to consumers’ opinions and respect the market, so Yang Chen immediately ordered the R&D department to quickly develop a mobile phone with a price between 1000 and 1500 dragon coins and a gross profit of no less than 30%.
However, this mobile phone will not be sold in the domestic market. This mobile phone is part of Yang Chen’s deindustrialization abroad and will only be sold in overseas markets.
Sihai Mobile has already captured most of the domestic high-end market share. If Sihai Mobile also wants to capture the low-end market, other mobile phone brands will have no way to survive.
There is no end to making money, and Yang Chen’s first consideration when doing things now is the sense of accomplishment, and then making money, so he will not squeeze out other mobile phone brands, and the low- and mid-end markets will be left for other brands.
While the affordable mobile phone is still being designed, countries such as Persian Cat have called to inquire whether Sihai Mobile can produce a mobile phone priced between 200-300 Eagle Coins. They will purchase it on a large scale to replace the existing Western brand mobile phones in their country.
Yang Chen asked them to wait for about half a month, and he would give them news then.
On the other hand, the Jiangcheng Municipal Government took less than ten days to plan out the 3 acres of land needed for the No. 3000 Industrial Park that Yang Chen wanted. In order to allow the residents in the demolition area to move out as quickly as possible, the Jiangcheng Municipal Government increased the demolition compensation standard, and half of it would be paid immediately as long as the signature was signed, and the other half would be paid after the residents moved out.
Young people nowadays are unwilling to farm, so when they encounter such demolition opportunities, they will naturally cooperate very actively.
In just three days, all the villages involved in the demolition were empty.
Sihai Mobile immediately signed a contract with the Jiangcheng Municipal Government to purchase the land. While both parties were signing, the construction team had already started working.
It’s still the same old routine, work continues 24 hours a day, 8 construction teams are responsible for different areas and work simultaneously, and it is expected to be completed in 35-40 days.
The industrial park is built and needs a large number of workers. Sihai Mobile has released a recruitment advertisement, expecting to recruit 10 front-line workers, with an 5-hour work system for 8 days, three shifts a day. In addition to full insurance, food and accommodation, the comprehensive income is guaranteed to be no less than 9000 yuan.
This treatment may not be better than other factories in the country, but it is at least top-level and better than the treatment of many white-collar workers in offices.
Sihai Mobile’s recruitment advertisement triggered a wave of resignations across the country. Not only did workers from other factories quit their jobs to apply for Sihai Mobile, but some people who originally worked in offices or low-end service industries also resigned and rushed to Jiangcheng to apply.
Even many couriers, food deliverymen, and Didi drivers have quit their jobs. These industries may not earn such high incomes even if you work yourself to death for a month, and the risks are also very high. It is better for them to work for Sihai Mobile.
What consequences does this lead to?
Yang Chen and Sihai Mobile have been complained by thousands of company bosses across the country, including large companies such as Miduan, Didi, and various express delivery companies.
The reasons they complained about Yang Chen were basically the same. Sihai Mobile had seriously disrupted the employment order and used high profits to subsidize workers’ wages. Other companies were unable to follow up, and workers resigned on a large scale, resulting in a labor shortage.
This incident had happened before, and Yang Chen had dealt with companies like Yaofu Glass that were the leaders of the incident. Now it was just a rehash of old matters.
Originally, Yang Chen didn’t intend to pay attention to it, but after all, it was a complaint from thousands of companies across the country, so he had to give it a perfunctory response.
Yang Chen and Sihai Mobile simultaneously released announcements on Weibo.
“Please treat Sihai Mobile’s recruitment rationally. Not everyone can be hired. Don’t resign easily.”
Anyway, it’s like this. Whether the workers listen to advice or not is their business, and Yang Chen can’t influence their thoughts.
