Chapter 34 Planning and the future
Moreover, even the Maling Steel Factory, which will truly grow in the future, is not suitable to always place the location in Mian County like now.
Mian County, an ancient city, has never been the first choice for merchants in this industry in international trade. This place is too closed and is deeply located in the mainland. Even if it is just to save logistics costs, the main bases of the future cannot be placed here.
In the mainland of China, huge logistics costs, check-in fees in various places, and various other entries that are not open on the surface, it is definitely the enemy of trade merchants. Only in relatively open places like Guangdong can there be a cluster of companies in the foreign trade industry.
Not to mention anything else in the company, just the monthly ore import of Maling Steel Plant will be a considerable fee if it is transported from customs to the mountain valleys in Mian County. In the future, the scale will expand and the ore import volume will increase again. This will sooner or later become an important cost for Maling Steel Plant to measure the balance of revenue and expenditure, and will even affect the success or failure of the entire steel plant in the future.
When doing business, you must be able to live within your means. From the perspective of the group company's business, this overall consideration and cost reduction must be started as soon as possible. Maling Steel Factory and the ancient city are destined to be just a springboard in the development process of the group. In the future, you will inevitably go abroad and go to the other end of the world.
Of course, Li He doesn't know that under the cover of Yangcheng Foreign Trade Company's logistics, Zhang Quan's so-called ore import process and the purchased goods export process are all false, all of which are only stuck on the books of the foreign trade company and hidden in the logistics procedures of other import and export business that are superficially huge and cumbersome.
This is why Zhang Quan has always held the power of this company and has not handed it over to Li He.
"Well, according to what you mean, the company should transfer, but is it too early to consider transfer now? Just like Lao Li, will Lao Li agree?" Li He asked.
"No matter what he does, the steel mill belongs to Lao Li. We can't make a decision on his behalf. Let's consider his business in the future!"
What? Li He thought to himself, does this mean that the company has to give up the steel plant? This is not possible. The benefits of the steel plant are the most important income of the group now, and they cannot be left. If the group's core relocation and the business center is far away from the center of business, it will inevitably lead to a weakening of the influence and control of the steel plant. Even if the group is now the major shareholder of the steel plant, it may not be able to stop other local people who are jealous of money in the future planning to control the steel plant. This is a major hidden danger for the group!
He immediately told Zhang Quan about this idea, and Zhang Quan replied:
"It's okay, steel plants are not as important as you think. In the future, our profit points will not be limited to this industry. Of course, since the steel industry has such good conditions, we will not give up so easily. I plan to use the technical support of Maling Steel Plant abroad. At that time, I will choose some technical backbones of Maling Steel Plant, recruit some new people, and reopen a steel plant overseas, so that there will be greater cost advantages and can also enter the international market nearby."
Oh, so, it turns out that Zhang Quan already has a complete plan, so Li He is relieved, he asked again,
"Then in the future, where are you going to set up the group's headquarters? Yangcheng or Pengcheng?"
"This, I mean, is to be in Hong Kong for the time being. If possible in the future, we may also consider expanding our business scope to other countries, and the headquarters may also require corresponding changes. For example, Thailand and Vietnam, these countries are developing well now, and the manufacturing industry is also developing a little. There are some procurements in the future, and they may also choose to place them here."
Xiangjiang! Still want to go abroad? I have to say that the ambitions shown in Zhang Quan's current words made Li He feel that they were getting less and less able to keep up. In fact, he did not feel the necessity of what Zhang Quan said about the reason why the group expansion was so urgent. After all, the current dynasty is the lowest overall cost of manufacturing in the world, and it is also the surplus of domestic manufacturing capabilities. The cost and price of local procurement of goods has obvious comparative advantages in the world. A company that mainly relies on foreign trade in low-end consumer goods is much more reliable to be based on this dynasty and any other country on the earth.
Why is Zhang Quan so anxious to go out?
After all, the so-called Gaia Group has only been established less than half a year. After leaving the ancient city and leaving the group’s small relationship network just established locally, where can the group go? Even if you go outside, Zhang Quan, can you ensure that the group’s expansion business can go smoothly?
These many scruples flashed through Li He's mind in an instant, but in the end, although he didn't understand Zhang Quan's approach, he wisely chose to shut up on this issue. As the chairman, Zhang Quan made such a choice naturally with his own reasons. Recalling the group's general manager, he had never been able to intervene in Feiteng Machinery Factory and Yangcheng Foreign Trade, which he managed as a general manager, he understood that Zhang Quan had always had his own plans for the future of the company.
With this guy's character, Zhang Quan may take the blame out when necessary, but in the current company's development decisions, this guy is definitely a self-decisive person.
Li He, who made up his mind, did not raise any other questions. He silently listened to Zhang Quan's arrangements and continued to implement the plan. As the general manager, he was a little bit inconsistent with the name, and it was inevitable that he had a knot in his heart.
But Zhang Quan did not explain these, and in fact he couldn't explain them.
Can he tell Li He that whether he is iron ore or the large amount of grain and food he purchased, the ultimate source is not on the earth, but on another world?
Obviously it is impossible. This is his biggest secret. Before he is not confident enough about his own strength, he will never share this secret with anyone, even if he is a person with a good relationship or a strong character. He will not rely on his future and his career to the choices of others.
Standing on Zhang Quan's position and considering Li He's position, the choices he made are definitely very different.
In the future, Zhang Quan will have a huge demand for food, salt, steel and other materials, which is definitely the kind that Li He could not imagine. This huge flow of materials, especially national strategic materials such as grain and steel, even if the country is now open and revitalized, it will definitely require strict monitoring.
Zhang Quan's orc kingdom, which had only a few hundred people in the past, disrupted the food market of millions of earthlings in ancient cities. What's more, Zhang Quan's field will gradually expand in the future. That scale may be covered by only the supply of the global market on earth.
Zhang Quan needs a larger and broader market, more perfect and comprehensive protective umbrellas and smoke. Only a global market can provide this protection mechanism. The method of Zhang Quan building a company in China to cover up fake accounts is too primitive. As long as someone wants to investigate, the mystery will be revealed in minutes.
But if we expand our attention to the world, it will be different. Although the earth is a modern society, its gorgeous appearance cannot cover up the scars that are loaded with inside. Africa, Southeast Asia, South America, the Middle East, the Caucasus, and many places are difficult to control by modern high-tech government forces.
These places are like the cancer of the global market-oriented system. The dark side of the various military powers on the earth's conditions and controls the dark side, covering up the existence of countless dark forces, including diamond smuggling, drug smuggling, arms smuggling, and no matter how much material it is, it can easily turn big things into small things in the markets of these places.
At that time, not only ordinary materials smuggling, but also arms and missiles, Zhang Quan may be able to do it, instead of treating the old May Fourth Movement like now, just as it is to use cross-age force. Zhang Quan can completely plant his own fields under the cover of the dark area until he develops and grows completely.
At some point, Zhang Quan himself is full of wings, so he no longer needs to be afraid. With strong strength, even the truth is outrageous, others can only choose to accept it. Power in this world is axiom. After thousands of years, there are not many differences in essence.
Therefore, Zhang Quan had this series of painstaking plans and plans, and the new expansion direction of Gaia Group. As Zhang Quan’s subordinates and classmates, Li He and others could only implement it even if they didn’t understand it.
...
I discussed the group's relocation in the future, and went to the group headquarters to meet a new colleague, checked the group's various businesses, and booked the next batch of continuous procurement and transportation affairs. After completing this series of obligations that must be fulfilled in accordance with the usual practice, he had to fly to Yangcheng and handle the matters with Yangcheng Foreign Trade Company.
By getting all these things done in this way, he will embark on the journey again and return to the world of Gaia.
There are fewer and fewer days on Earth, but more and more days on Gaia. This kind of life is Zhang Quan's own heartfelt choice.
In fact, in Zhang Quan's heart, he was increasingly disliked the feeling of staying here, and he always felt a little floating and not very real. Although the earth has already been on the right track, he also used this to get rid of the depressed and hopeless days, but now all of this is more like his logistics, and everything created in the world of Gaia, the desolate and primitive wilderness, is the future that truly belongs to him.
Gaia continent, northwest wasteland, base mountain.
