Reborn, I want to be the richest man!
Chapter 17
When we embarked on the journey of international cooperation with joy, we found that there was a jungle full of thorns ahead. Those cooperations that were originally imagined to be smooth sailing were shattered in reality by the laws and regulations, cultural differences and trade barriers of different countries.
I sat in front of a desk piled with documents. The light was dim, but it still hurt my eyes. Every page of the document in my hand was like a mountain that was difficult to climb. Those dense foreign legal provisions were like ancient mysterious spells. I tried hard to interpret them, but I often felt confused and lost. Different countries have different regulations on e-commerce business. Some require strict consumer rights protection, while others are almost harsh in terms of commodity access standards. I seemed to see that our efforts were tightly bound by these invisible rules, and every struggle made me feel powerless.
"Why is it so complicated?" I shouted in my heart, with fine beads of sweat on my forehead. I know that these laws and regulations are set up by the country to protect its domestic market and consumers, but for us, they are insurmountable barriers. We must comply, but every compliance adjustment means a lot of time and energy investment.
Cultural differences are like an invisible gap between us and international partners. I still remember that when I communicated with some potential partners in the Middle East, they attached much more importance to interpersonal relationships and religious beliefs in business cooperation than I expected. When we were discussing business details at the negotiation table, they often suspended the meeting because of religious festivals or traditional customs. At first, I didn't understand it, and even felt a little anxious, thinking that this would delay the progress of cooperation. But then I gradually realized that this is their cultural foundation, and it is part of their life and faith.
When working with European partners, I felt another cultural shock. Their pursuit of art, design and quality makes our products look a little "rough" in some aspects. Their obsession with details and their requirements for brand stories forced us to re-examine our product positioning. I often think late at night about how to respect their culture while integrating our products into their market, without losing our own characteristics and satisfying their discerning eyes.
Trade barriers are like cold walls, ruthlessly blocking our way forward. Tariff adjustments, import and export restrictions, and complex certification procedures, each link is like a huge whirlpool, which will swallow up our efforts if we are not careful. During the transportation of our products, the cost increased significantly due to the sudden increase in tariffs by a certain country, and the original price advantage disappeared instantly. Looking at the increased cost data, my heart seemed to be hit hard.
"Should we give up?" This thought flashed through my mind, but I quickly denied it. I can't give up. We have come so far and paid so much. The future of the company, the expectations of the team, and Xiaolu's trusting eyes do not allow me to retreat.
I called the team togetherTogether, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little heavy. But I saw determination in everyone's eyes, which was the same belief as mine - we must overcome these difficulties. We began to study the laws and regulations of different countries, invited professional legal advisers to explain to us, and did not let go of every clause. We are like a group of students who are eager to learn, looking for an exit in this complex legal maze.
For cultural differences, we organized team members to learn cultural knowledge of various countries and hold cultural sharing sessions. We invited friends who have lived abroad to tell us about their experiences, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of people's thinking and behavior habits under different cultural backgrounds. We try to incorporate local cultural elements into product design and marketing plans to make our brand more friendly.
In the face of trade barriers, we cooperate with professional trade consulting agencies to study response strategies. We optimize the supply chain, find new suppliers of raw materials, and reduce costs. We actively communicate with government departments of various countries to understand the latest trade policies and strive for favorable conditions. Every difficulty is a challenge, and we continue to grow in challenges.
In this process, I felt exhausted countless times. Those pressures are like a mountain, which makes me breathless. But every time I see the team members working hard to learn and actively explore, I am full of strength again. Xiaolu always encourages me when I am in the most difficult time. She will prepare a warm dinner for me after I get home from get off work, and then sit next to me and listen to my troubles.
"You know? You are like a brave warrior now, fighting for our dreams." Xiaolu said to me with a smile, her eyes full of love and pride. Her words are like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze in my heart. I know that I am not fighting alone, we are a team, and we have a common goal.
Although the difficulties of international cooperation are huge, we will not be defeated by them. We will continue to move forward on this thorny road, step by step, and use our wisdom and efforts to open up a bright road to the international market. Because I believe that as long as we don't give up, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize our dreams.
