Chapter 567 We Are Superior People! (First Update!)

Greb raised his eyes slightly and said what he was thinking as he gently shook the wine glass with his fingers:

"Our factory cannot be placed in America. The communication efficiency of the factories here is very slow, so slow that it is unbearable."

"Moreover, the trend of deindustrialization in America is very obvious. When all walks of life have completed the deindustrialization work, the relevant industrial workers will disappear, or in other words, the current workers will not disappear, but there will be no fresh blood to replenish them."

"This process does not take too long, only four or five years."

"And four or five years later, it is just the time when the entire new smart device industry will flourish."

"The booming industry requires more industrial workers, and we don't have enough industrial workers and can't provide enough products, which means we are making wedding clothes for others."

"So, we need to find a suitable place outside of America."

"This place must have enough energy to provide the factory with three shifts of production 24 hours a day, and there must be enough industrial workers."

"These industrial workers must also be cheap enough, otherwise, it will affect our ability to make money."

His analysis makes a lot of sense. Listening to his words, the people next to him were silent.

In silence, Lavat opened his mouth several times and closed it several times.

His hesitant action was naturally seen by the other two.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Ronald asked softly: "Mr. Lavat, do you have anything to say?"

"I did, but now I don't." After answering casually, Lavat's eyes fell back on the red wine glass in his hand, staring at the red wine glass with a pair of eyes, just like a man staring at a woman.

Beside him, Greb glanced at him, frowned, and said with a puzzled face:

"Behind the closed door, we are all a family, making money on the same rope. If you have anything to say, just say it clearly, don't hide it, so as to avoid trouble later."

The words were a bit weird, but Navat didn't care.

His eyes slanted slightly towards Greb, with three points of disdain and seven points of distress, he slowly closed his eyes and said:

"Nothing, my funds come from the Saudi Arabian Development Fund, and the king heard that this investment was very successful."

"I just wanted to do the same in Saudi Arabia, but after listening to what you said just now, I don't think it's necessary."

"Because if you let a Saudi work 24 hours a day, three shifts, he will go crazy."

"Like me, I go to work at 10 o'clock every day and only work until 1 o'clock in the afternoon."

"Even so I still think the working hours are too long, other people in Saudi Arabia will definitely not go to work, so there is no need."

What Rawat said made everyone present fall into silence.

Ronald came with Mei Feng's task to make money for Mei Feng, so he has been working hard all the time.

And Greb next to him, he only has one thing in this world, making money, making money, and making money.

As long as it is something that can make money, even at two or three in the morning, as long as there is a phone call, he can force himself to support his body, crawl out of the quilt, and start making money.

Parison, who was guarding the computer, had transformed from a boy into a man. He had enjoyed the beauty of money and power. Now he only wanted one thing.

Make money and power.

And he could sacrifice his life for it.

Look at the Saudi man next to him.

Compare the lives of both sides.

It's really tmd...

At this moment, the three people instantly pulled their horse faces and began to think about why their lives were so unbearable.

According to the general situation, they had so much money and became superior people.

How could they be so tired?

This is not scientific!

When I had no money, I was tired. When I didn't have enough money, I was still tired. Now that I have become a big boss, I am still tired!

This does not conform to the law of economics at all!

Superiors should not be so tired!

You have to enjoy life.

At this moment, the three people slowly raised their eyes, looked at each other, and then found each other's thoughts in each other's eyes.

With their eyes retracted, they returned to business.

Ronald lowered his head, shook the wine glass in his hand, frowned and said:

"The price of artificial materials must be cheap enough, and there must be certain technology, and the communication between various parts and products must be convenient enough."

He stopped talking at this moment, slowly raised his head, looked at the person opposite, and shook his head: "The conditions are a bit too much."

"There must be certain technology, and the communication between various product parts must be convenient enough. These two points of yours have denied 90% of the countries and regions in the world."

"With these two points, the location of the factory is basically determined, and it can only be placed in East Asia."

"Don't talk about Europe. Those dogs in Europe, at their speed, if someone submits a bug today and asks for an immediate fix, by the time they fix the bug, perhaps the user of the equipment has already gotten used to the bug."

"East Asia, China, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea."

"Japan and South Korea meet the requirements, China is a little worse, and finally Vietnam..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Rawat.

The Saudi Arabian shook the red wine glass in his hand and spoke distantly: "Mr. Ronald, I need to correct you first."

"It's not easy to communicate with the Japanese and Koreans. These two countries have always felt that they are the bosses in East Asia, and they basically don't take other people seriously."

"As for Vietnam, the military is doing business, which is even more difficult to communicate."

"There is only one place where our factory is located, China."

When the word China came out, the expressions on the faces of several people present became very strange.

Lavat was playful, Greb was guilty, Parison didn't care, and Ronald was worried.

The four people with different expressions looked at each other, and they chose not to speak very tacitly.

After a long while, Lavat said: "I have been to China before. The labor there is indeed cheap, and they also have certain technology."

"Meet the needs."

"But the problem is whether our other shareholders are willing to let us go to China to build a production line."

"To be honest, politics is the dirtiest thing."

Lavat's words made the scene completely cold.

How to say it?

Although America is deindustrializing and embracing financialization

But it is low-end industrialization, not high-end industrialization like smart manufacturing of mobile phones and electronics.

High-end industry has always been an important means for developed countries to clamp down on underdeveloped countries.

In addition.

The investors who hold the remaining shares of Apple are all senior politicians. Politicians are always thinking about their own promotion.

If Apple's upstream and downstream industrial chains are placed in America, they can form 10 unions, win over previous unions, and get countless votes.

If they are thrown to other countries, these votes will disappear, and politicians rely on votes. Without votes, they are nothing, even worse than pigs and dogs.

Of course, if there are enough benefits to exchange with these politicians, they will let it go.

But the premise is that there are enough benefits.

But there is only so much cake. If they are given enough benefits, how can the interests of the people present be guaranteed?

After a long time, Greb drank up the wine in his hand, stood up, and said:

"I will persuade them!"

The remaining two did not say much about his volunteering, only Lavat slowly raised his head, rolled his eyes indifferently, and encouraged:

"Then do your best!"

…………

The next day, opposite Apple, in a very ordinary-looking coffee shop.

A dozen people of all ages sat together at a coffee table, and all of them looked at the door at the same time.

It seemed that they were waiting for someone.

After a long time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Greb appeared in front of everyone with some documents in his arms and apologetic face.

Nodding to the people present, he sat down on the seat closest to the door, picked up the cup full of water on the table, and drank the water.

He was about to linger a little longer when an old man sitting by the window asked, "Greb, you called us together in a hurry and said you had something important to announce. Tell me, what is it?"

Faced with the old man's urgency, Greb seemed very calm. He picked up the information in his hand and distributed it one by one. He waited until everyone had a copy of the information before he sat back in his seat.

Turning over the one in his hand, he looked at the people in front of him and said:

"The main reason I called everyone here today is to talk about de-industrialization."

"Our products have been a great success domestically and internationally."

"This is a big victory for us."

"But behind this great victory, there are more worries."

"The biggest difficulty is our production capacity. Our weak production capacity is nothing compared to the global market."

"According to general rules, if we want to increase production capacity, we just need to build more factories."

"But according to the detailed investigation of the marketing department, if we choose to go this way, it will be a dead end."

"The reason is that we need to spend a lot of money to buy a lot of land and then build a lot of factories."

"This will take up a lot of our funds in the early stage."

"Finally, after the technical department After discussing with the marketing department, we chose another plan, which is the asset-light route. "

"The so-called asset-light means that we master the core components, that is, the core processors, and then the company headquarters is only responsible for research and development, leaving all the production work to the foundry."

"Under this premise, we only need to provide technical assistance to the foundry, send a few people to the foundry, and monitor the production of the foundry."

"Correspondingly, we can also save the cost of building the factory, spend more money on research, and widen the gap with others."

"However, there are a few problems in the implementation of this plan."

"This problem is everyone present."

"I know you need the votes of the unions behind those factories, but I also want to remind you that indirect votes are not as appropriate as direct money."

"What do you think?"

In a few words, Greb threw the question to the people present.

Involving their own fundamental interests, these old and young people present also picked up the documents on the table, carefully opened them, and read them slowly.

The content of the document is mainly divided into several sections, including the investigation of the marketing department, the technical confirmation of the relevant technical departments, and some hypothetical conclusions.

They didn't want to read a word of the investigation of the marketing department and the technical confirmation of the technical department. They just wanted to see how much benefit they could get after giving up those votes.

After flipping through the pages, they finally saw what they wanted to see on the last page.

The estimated cost savings and the number of devices that can be produced after the corresponding production capacity is increased.

That is a terrifying number.

20 million!

At this moment, these people who are not good at math are desperately calculating in their minds that 20 million Apple phones can make a lot of money even at the lowest price.

And this profit...

exceeds the profit brought by those votes.

Becoming a member of parliament and soliciting votes is to make money. Now there is no need to be so troublesome and you can directly get a lot of money. It seems...

The votes are not important.

At this moment, the eyes of the people next to the table began to flicker, and they began to think about whether they need to make this deal.

Just as they were hesitating, Greb, who was sitting by the door, raised his hand, tapped the table gently, and reminded:

"I need to remind you here that we are the upper class, we should enjoy more life, instead of focusing on intrigue every day."

"Canvassing votes and building factories are not what we should do. It's a waste of life."

After that, he closed his mouth and sat quietly beside him.

Perhaps his words touched people. In just a few minutes, people raised their hands one after another and responded.

"As long as Mr. Greb can guarantee that choosing the asset-light route can bring enough benefits, I can guarantee that no one will interfere with the relocation of your factory."

"Me too!"

"I can represent San Jose!"

"I have no problem here!"

The people next to him spoke one after another. Although the words were a little different, the core meaning was the same.

As long as Greb can guarantee the benefits, they can support it.

After listening to these people's words and hearing their demands behind their words, Greb smiled indifferently and put down the documents in his hand.

He leaned forward, leaned on the table, looked at the people present with an aggressive look, nodded slightly, picked up the water in front of him, and said to the people present:

"In this case, I think you have agreed to this matter."

"Then, please provide help in related events, so that we can complete the light asset layout as soon as possible, improve our production capacity, and make more money."

Beside the dining table, people of all ages also raised their coffee cups and nodded to Greb.

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Greb to make more money for us."
