Chapter 20 The Origin of the American Block Machine
Parkinson is an ordinary American citizen and a small business owner.
In the past few years, his toy distribution company followed the market trend and earned a lot of (harmony) dividends. He even had extra energy and money to pay attention to markets outside traditional toy production areas such as Japan and Hong Kong.
He doesn't like graduates from prestigious schools very much, not because they are too nerd, nor because they are stupid, and they are all fooling idiots at the bottom. He doesn't like them because they are too smart and have too strong ability to learn and accept new things.
Even if the job he came to him was their first job in life, they could master it in one year as long as they were given a suitable environment. The professional knowledge and sales skills that ordinary people could master in ten years.
This is the power of education.
Parkinson doesn't like well-educated talents, and they make him feel deeply in crisis. He is fifty-three years old and is still in his prime among entrepreneurs.
Although the company is just a small distribution company and looks inconspicuous, this company is a company he came out to work hard at the age of sixteen and has been working hard for decades, built brick by brick. The bitterness and sorrow of it is not worth outsiders.
The experiences over the years have made him feel that he has fully understood the nature of the market and mastered the truth hidden under the surface chaos.
After experiencing many experiences, he cherishes his own knowledge very much. He is like a stingy dragon like a slave in wealth, cherishing these spiritual gold coins of his own. He is always on guard against the "bad guy" who tries to "steal" his precious wealth.
He hopes that the company will not have anyone with him, except for himself. But this idea is obviously unrealistic. A bunch of mediocre talents will only make things more and more messy and the company will get worse.
Understand that people are a must-have.
However, if a person has a clear mind, smart and diligent work, and with his fanatical work, he will take on more and more jobs. This makes Parkinson feel a sense of crisis. Do you want to learn all my things and go out and start your own business to compete with me for food?
This doesn't work!
Regardless of whether those who come to Perkins Trading Company have such an idea, Parkinson already has such a preconceived idea and fire them! If they are really capable and have the capital to directly start their own business and compete with themselves for business, then use various means to kill them!
However, Parkinson has been thinking hard for a long time recently and has come up with a good way to fool these people into backward countries, such as Asia-China.
Without a good platform, what can I do if I have a strong ability?
Insulate them from the American business, even if they are Superman from Krypton, they will not cause any storm after leaving this environment.
hehe.
Let these damn good students go to places like China, India, and Africa where birds do not shit! I heard that there is very closed, conservative and chaotic, and the handling of death row prisoners is always killed with cannons.
It would be best if they all died there. In this world, there are not many stupid people, but many smart people.
Perhaps, Parkinson's employees never thought that they had always been kind and spoke quietly, and they were so sinister inside.
Parkinson Trading Company, named Nick, sent a Chinese salesperson, who would smile indifferently even if he knew about it. He understood why the distribution company he worked for had a history of decades, but was still a small company, and was overtaken by rising stars.
I guard a piece of gingerbread, treat it as the most precious thing in the world, and I am always afraid that others will steal it.
This is the limitation of the boss Parkinson and the reason why the company has been "stable" in small businesses for so many years.
He knew the pearl with a pair of Bole eyes who were good at discovering talents. Then, he waved his arms and buried them in the soil.
When he thought others had intentions for him, others had already left him far behind.
Whenever he talks about him, he always has a little contempt in his words. However, because the difference is too far, he can't hear it.
—————
Nick, 24 years old this year, works at Parkinson's Toy Distribution Company. The company does not engage in production and all toys sold are purchased from outside factories.
When the boss told him that he would send him to Asia to be responsible for the procurement of toys in Asia, although he was uneasy, he was more excited.
This is his image of Asia in his heart. Japan, Tokyo, a bustling metropolis full of exotic style and a sense of futuristic science fiction.
However, when he got off the plane with his suitcase, he suddenly realized that the place where he landed was not Japan, nor Tokyo. It was China, and it was Bei (Harmony) Beijing.
When he was stared at by a group of yellow-skinned and monochrome clothes with the eyes of rare beasts watching the North (Harmony) Beijing Zoo, his heart was broken.
Check in to Friendship Hotel and contact the country quickly.
The little boss on the other end of the phone said that China is a big country with a newly opened population of 800 million. Whether it is a production place or a future sales place, it is a vast market.
As a pathfinder for the company, you should be honored that the company will choose you. Now, I appoint you as the company's CEO of China. You will have the authority to use $100,000. Use it well. I am optimistic about you.
Nick deeply felt that he had been deceived by his boss, but when he arrived in China, he would go to China. Judging from his experiences along the way, although he was poor, backward, and rustic, the public security was pretty good. At least, there was no need to worry about life safety.
Many ordinary people wearing old-fashioned monochrome clothes have bright smiles on their faces. This is a country that is poor but full of vitality.
The US dollars he had on him were forcibly exchanged for foreign exchange coupons. After eating and staying in the Friendship Hotel for a few days, he found that the food here was quite delicious and the price was not expensive. Even traveling here is a good choice. At least he thought it was worth the price of a plane ticket.
Such leisurely time passed in a few days. He had enough food and drink every day, and finally remembered that he was not here for vacation, but for work.
So, where can I find a manufacturer that produces toys?
As soon as he talked to the waiter, the waiter told him that a provincial trading expo was being held and asked him if he wanted to go. If he went, the hotel could handle the train tickets.
At 5:00 p.m. on September 10, Nick left the Friendship Hotel and took the train to the Northeast at 7:00 p.m.
The green train is not fast, and he is the only one in the soft sleeper compartment.
Through the endless farmland and through small towns after town. On the morning of August 5, he finally arrived at Changchun, the capital of Ji (Harmony) Forestry Province.
Holding the introduction letter issued by Friendship Hotel and a note of Chinese address, at noon, he came to the site of the Ji (Harmony) Forestry Trading Expo.
The rain was hazy and dispersed the heat. Nick, wearing short-sleeved shirts, entered the Qijie Conference venue.
The first thing that caught my eye after entering was silk. He was not interested in this thing. Inside it was Chinese porcelain. Continue to go inside, there were some dry local specialties. Inside it was all kinds of mechanical equipment.
At this moment, Nick was sighing in his heart. Being backward, rustic, and clichéd is his summary of everything he saw at this trading expo.
It’s not that these things are not good. In fact, he has seen some of the silk in the center of the venue in the United States. This can prove that these things are definitely sold.
However, his company is a toy dealer, not a silk fabric dealer. No matter how good these things are and how wide the sales are, they have no meaning to him.
I've come here, let's see if I can find any toys.
Nick walked around the venue with this mentality. No matter which booth it was, he would see it.
The more I look at it, the more I feel colder. Almost all booths have nothing to do with toys.
