646 [Cultural Person Zheng Xuehong]

Shipping Chinese goods to Southeast Asia and then re-exported and sold to European and American countries is the usual practice of "Chinese profiteers".

Because, the certificate of origin can be forged!

Well, it cannot be said to be a forgery. As long as you can afford the money, this kind of certificate is definitely very formal because it is a certificate issued by the official agency of the country.

Unless you accidentally make the fake brand bigger and attract the attention of the anti-dumping victims, no one will take care of it. Xifeng’s fake brand in Myanmar is a bit big, so Yang Xin has decided to build another new brand, and he keeps changing his vest anyway.

This trick of Chinese businessmen will continue until 2019 and reach its peak due to the Sino-US trade war. During the trade war, in order to avoid high tariffs, Chinese foreign trade exporters frantically used Southeast Asian countries to use illegal re-export trade of third parties to maintain profits.

Unfortunately, there are too many manufacturers like this, which has caused the export volume of ASEAN countries to soar in a short period of time. For example, Vietnam's export volume to the United States increased by 40% in the first quarter of 2019 alone. This is the obvious lice on the monk's head. It is difficult not to attract the attention of the United States!

Under pressure from the United States, Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Thailand issued statements in the summer of 2019 to crack down on illegal re-export trade.

But, it’s one thing to say, but another thing to do. To what extent can a severe crackdown be done, it can only be done with the flow. After all, this kind of approach can also increase Vietnam’s income, and there are a large number of beneficiaries from the official to the public.

Xifeng had to do this, and the Americans forced us to go on a evil path.

Take Jibang Canned Food from Caiyun Province as an example. Several years before China joined WTO, Jibang Canned Food was exported to the United States every year for more than 1,400 tons of canned food every year. As a result, the anti-dumping lawsuit took several years. While paying lawyers, it expanded its production capacity. It finally lost the case two years ago. The annual export volume instantly dropped to more than 3 tons, and it could only change to other canned foods.

There are many canned companies in Caiyun Province, and they all declined because of anti-dumping of canned mushrooms. They either transformed or went bankrupt. The farmers in Caiyun Province suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, Xifeng stood up to take over. Now many of the farmers rely on Xifeng's canned food to support them.

If Xifeng does not engage in illegal re-export trade, canned mushrooms will lose more every year because the anti-dumping tax rate is already as high as 150%.

What to say is that American competitors are not that awesome. The real result is that a lot of American canned companies died, and seven out of ten Chinese canned companies died, and the surviving Chinese and American companies eventually merged. 90% of Chinese fungi canned factories can only do OEM OEM for large European and American companies, specializing in the production of mid- and high-end types of canned food. The remaining 10% of Chinese independent brands can only capture the mid- and low-end markets in the United States.

This is an anti-dumping case that lasts 11 years and a market reshuffle that lasts 11 years. American canned mushroom companies have died to the point where only three giants remain, and local factories have basically been closed, relying on Chinese factories to help them produce OEM. The remaining ones in China are the king, and only a small number of manufacturers can stick to their own brands and can only follow the mid- and low-end market route.

Manufacturers from China and the United States have joined forces to destroy the American canned mushroom manufacturing industry.

So the victim was gone, and the anti-dumping case was over. If you continue to anti-dumping, it would be the three American giants who canned food to be anti-dumping themselves. American capitalists are not stupid, they are smart, and they are so good at killing people with a knife.

But from a national perspective, the American canned mushroom manufacturing industry has disappeared, and the United States has increased a lot of unemployed people, which has also damaged the American mushroom cultivation industry.

...

Yang Xin is so busy that Chen Tao is not idle either. She was promoted last year and is now the president and coo (operation director) of Xifeng Group. She is only one level shorter than Yang Xin, and is equivalent to Xifeng's second-in-command person.

The former Xifeng Coo was promoted by Zheng Xuehong. Now he has fled abroad and dared not come back. This kid holds Xifeng stock worth more than 3 million yuan, and his annual salary is 800,000 yuan. He is actually greedy and uses money to start a company for his brother-in-law, secretly playing fake bidding to eat the supply difference.

It would be fine if he had eaten a little, but his brother-in-law was also greedy and actually provided Xifeng with problematic paper beverage packaging bottles!

Last year, Xifeng had 4 batches of drinks, and was found to have exceeded the standard of harmful substances. Although he was slaughtered by public relations after being frantically dumped money, Yang Xin was so angry that he trembled all over and kept track of it to Xifeng Group Coo.

Because it involves Zheng Xuehong's No. 1 direct descendant, Yang Xin asked Zheng Xuehong to solve the problem himself.

Zheng Xuehong felt that his face had been thrown away, so she directly chose to call the police and let the judicial authorities intervene in the investigation. Coo ran away early after getting the news, and his stock was also taken back by Xifeng. Now he doesn't know which country to live in. But his brother-in-law did not run away, the case is under trial, so it is certain that he will go to the class room to have a meal.

In fact, Coo was cheated by his brother-in-law. At most, he used his position to "start a company" to supply Xifeng. He didn't eat much, because eating too much would attract attention, and he only earned an additional income of one million yuan a year. He didn't expect that his brother-in-law was so talented and dared to sell things that were of poor quality!

My brother-in-law is also very frustrated. Many of Xifeng's drinks are products that are not inspected. Who knew that they would encounter random sampling in the market? Logically speaking, Xifeng's inspections will not be recruited, but it cannot withstand the official's sudden "Quality Tour" activity.

Because of this, Zheng Xuehong, who was semi-retired, finally completely retired and only retained his position as a board of directors. Before resigning voluntarily, he also hired a group of retired discipline inspection cadres with high salaries to supervise the internal corruption of Xifeng Group.

This is how Chen Tao became president and coo of Xifeng. Her first fire when she took office was to launch a vigorous anti-corruption campaign in the company. So far, four of Xifeng's cadres at all levels have been handed over to judicial authorities, and another 19 have been dealt with internally.

"I thought about it and loved my mother in Tianbo Mansion! I was angry with the treacherous minister and became a monk. I cut off my hair from Wutai Temple. I was unwilling to accompany the king in court, so I took off my python robe and changed it to the cassock..."

On the stage, the classic Sichuan opera repertoire "Brother Wutai Hui" is being staged. Behind the stage, Zheng Xuehong shook his head and sang silently while keeping the beat.

This is a large teahouse in Linhe in the old city, and it is an ancient building in the Qing Dynasty. It is a municipal cultural relics protection unit. It was originally due to the continuous floods that local gentry raised funds to build the River God Temple. The main hall worships the River God Master, and there is a professional stage outside for villagers to watch and entertain.

During the Republic of China, it was still a large area of ​​ancient buildings, but later, the road was built and the four olds were demolished. The inscription by General Huanzhang on the east stone wall of the temple was engraved with the inscription "Returning My Rivers and Mountains". After the reform and opening up, this place became a large teahouse, which was a good place to drink tea and watch operas. The plaque at the main entrance was Zhao Kinye's inscription "The No. 1 Teahouse in the Southwest".

Now even the Municipal People's Cinema has gone bankrupt, let alone a traditional teahouse?

This place has been deserted and idle for many years. Occasionally, some cultural groups come to organize activities. The rest of the time cannot even see a ghost. The city still needs to continuously allocate financial funds to maintain it.

After Zheng Xuehong completely retired, he contracted the place. The monthly rent was very cheap, and it was done for only 5,000 yuan, but Zheng Xuehong had to be responsible for taking good care of this ancient building, which could save the city the next expenses.

The big teahouse has been reopened, and Zheng Xuehong has also invited Sichuan Opera Troupe to perform in resident performances, and even famous actors from the provincial capital during festivals.

But there are very few customers, because this place is too far-fetched and belongs to the edge of the old city. Even this old city renovation will not involve this place. Fortunately, the tea money is very cheap, which can attract some old men and ladies to listen to the opera, otherwise there will be more waiters in the teahouse than customers.

After all the costs, Zheng Xuehong's teahouse lost about 20,000 yuan a month.

"I said Lao Zheng, are you playing these all day now?" Song Weiyang said while drinking the guaba tea, "I haven't seen you like to listen to Sichuan opera before."

Zheng Xuehong said happily: "I live a relaxed life. By the way, I am still the president of this Sichuan Opera Association. I have a member of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles who have received salary. I have successfully entered the literary and artistic circles."

Song Weiyang clasped his fists and said, "President Zheng, I feel respectful and respectful. I didn't expect you to be a cultural person."

"Hahahaha," Chen Tao couldn't help laughing and said with a hearty smile. "The entire Ichikawa Opera Association is probably all the members of the TV series in this teahouse. If Brother Zheng doesn't spend money, they will have to announce their disband sooner or later."

Zheng Xuehong said: "I am called protecting traditional culture!"

Song Weiyang put down the tea bowl and half lying on the bamboo chair and said, "If you really protect traditional culture, don't make small fuss here and organize Sichuan opera application for World Heritage. As long as you can apply, I will tell you, you are the great savior of Sichuan opera, and you will walk sideways in the entire Sichuan opera world!"

"Is that thing easy to apply for?" Zheng Xuehong's eyes lit up. He was so worried that he was so idle, as if he was looking for something interesting to do.

Song Weiyang advised: "You first get into the Sichuan Opera Association at a higher level, and have good relations with all Sichuan Opera institutions, and then have good relations with relevant departments. Then set up a World Heritage Application Fund, spend some money on it yourself, and then find symbolic funding for relevant departments to make the application materials beautiful, the better. This year, the central government proposed for the first time to vigorously protect intangible cultural heritage, and it is estimated that local governments will definitely make any moves. So if you don't have your share in applying for World Heritage in China, you can directly apply for the world's intangible cultural heritage with Sichuan Opera. If this matter is done, you will definitely become a cadre of the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles."

"The world's intangible cultural heritage is a bit difficult." Zheng Xuehong was a little worried.

Song Weiyang said: "Kun District has been successfully applied for World Heritage in several years. Why can't Sichuan Opera be? Especially with our face change, if you lead the group to perform abroad, those foreigners will definitely be scared."

"Hey, it's interesting." Zheng Xuehong said happily.

Zheng Xuehong is rich now and can cash out stocks worth over 100 million yuan in minutes, and he gets a lot of dividends every year. But he thinks he is a rough man and doesn't want to be a representative, so he wants to improve his image and taste.

Zheng Xuehong has tried golf and other things, but he really couldn't get interested. He didn't like drinking red wine, and he couldn't get used to Western food. He was even more confused about collecting cultural and artistic works. So he started with Sichuan opera, which he liked more, and also made friends with several local calligraphers and painters.

If you can join the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles and become a cadre, you will definitely have status and face. When you go out, you will have to shout "Teacher Zheng".

Song Weiyang said again: "By the way, it's boring a Sichuan opera teahouse here. There are only a few old men and women who support you every day. Kuanzhai Alley in Rongcheng is about to be completed. If you rent a large mansion in Kuanzhai Alley, you will definitely make money after operating it for a while."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zheng Xuehong said with a smile.

In fact, Zheng Xuehong was cheated by Song Weiyang this time. Even though Kuanzhai Alley advertised on CCTV, there were not many tourists at the beginning, and the shops along the street were all terrified. Fortunately, the rent was very cheap at the beginning, otherwise all the merchants would be scared away.

As soon as the opera was finished, Zheng Xuehong slipped away.

Chen Tao put on her coat and went out, stretched and said, "When the company's work is over after the Spring Festival, I will accompany me to Hong Kong City for a trip. I was busy for more than half a year last year and didn't have time to go shopping in Hong Kong City."

"Okay." Song Weiyang smiled.
Chapter completed!
