Top of the big era

This time when he went south, in addition to Huayi's listing, Zhou Buqi also arranged an additional job for himself, which was to attend the largest investment promotion conference in the history of the south.

Many senior leaders were present. Facing more than 100 countries and regions around the world, the total investment from foreign, state-owned and private capital is expected to exceed 60 billion yuan, striving to build Pengcheng into a demonstration zone for the transformation and upgrading of processing trade in the Pearl River Delta region, looking for Develop a new path for the transformation and upgrading of processing trade.

This is right. Industrial workers in the past suffered too much, and industrial upgrading is necessary.

As one of the most famous entrepreneurs in China, Zhou Buqi had to attend after being invited to communicate with foreign friends and enhance their investment confidence.

When the global economy was hit hard by the financial crisis, the efficiency of the domestic system was reflected. It can overcome difficulties and solve problems quickly and is the bridgehead leading the global economic recovery.

In addition to Zhou Buqi and his secretary, the group heading south also included Xu Baihui, chairman of Huayi's strategic partner Jieyu Media, and a Korean girl.

She is the youngest maknae in Girls' Generation, named Seo Joo Hyun.

Zhou Buqi didn't pay much attention to her. He didn't know her well, so he felt that her appearance was far different from Yang Mi, Li Xinwan, Dili Reya, etc., and her face shape was obviously not so natural. Fortunately, she is very polite, speaks coquettishly, has a soft body, and fair skin, and is as elastic as jelly when pressed.

Now, the Japanese market has been basically won, and the Korean market is being conquered.

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in every battle.

Considering the overall situation, if Zhou Buqi has some in-depth exchanges and communication with Korean girls, he will be able to better understand the ideas of the younger generation and carry out targeted development during product design.

The flight time from the capital to Pengcheng is less than 4 hours.

Time was limited, so Zhou Buqi didn't waste any time. After boarding the plane, they chatted for 20 minutes and then took her little hand to the direction of the bedroom.

Two hours later, Zhou Buqi came over wearing a dark blue pajamas. He saw Xu Baihui and three secretaries, Sun Wanran, Ning Lu and Feng Muer, gathered together. They didn't know what they were talking about.

Xu Baihui didn't care about that. After seeing him, she shouted loudly, "You finally came out and you are almost there! I was still thinking about whether to call you later!"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Let's chat with her and analyze the aesthetic tendencies of contemporary young Korean girls."

"Oh, it turns out we were talking about work!"

Xu Baihui suddenly realized something.

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, it's not that we want to train her to be a movie actress. We must examine her ambition, pursuit, hard-working spirit and so on."

"How was the inspection?"

"good."

"As long as you're satisfied."

Xu Baihui curled her lips and looked at Sun Wanran, Ning Lu and the others. Her eyes jumped a few times, and they all looked like they were snickering. This big boss is really good at pretending!

Who doesn’t know you yet?

Zhou Buqi came over, squeezed Sun Wanran in, sat next to her, picked up her coffee cup, and found a red lip mark on the wall of the cup. He drank the coffee from a different angle and said plausibly: " Confucian culture is very good, if it were a Hollywood starlet, I wouldn’t even look at it.”

Sun Wanran was very happy, pursed her lips and asked with a smile: "What happened to Confucian culture?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It is not easy to train film actors, and a lot of resources need to be invested. What if the actors we train are not loyal to the company? Foreigners and barbarians do not understand etiquette, and loyalty is a traditional Confucian virtue."

Xu Baihui gritted her teeth and said, "Yeah, yeah, especially girls, they are as loyal as a good girl."

Zhou Buqi sweated a lot and was very thirsty. He drank half a cup of coffee in a short while. "It's hard to say whether she is loyal or not. At least she can have a sense of belonging in her heart, which is equivalent to priority. Or To facilitate your management."

Xu Baihui hummed: "She is in a foreign country. She will go to university next year. I can't control her."

Zhou Buqi glanced at her and said calmly: "It's enough to help you once and get a sense of belonging and priority. How many more times do you want me to help you? I don't have that much energy to focus on foreigners."

Xu Baihui mocked: "It's great to be the boss, you can bully me as you like!"

"What's the good thing about being a boss?" Zhou Buqi disapproved, "How much of my work can I decide? How can I do it instead of how you arrange it?"

Xu Baihui's eyes were like knives, and she said angrily: "Yes, I arranged it for you, Boss Zhou, you have troubled yourself, you have worked hard, and you have been wronged!"

Zhou Buqi said generously: "There is no room for grievance. The hard work is quite hard."

Xu Baihui was convinced, "Yes, yes, you have worked too hard. Now I will help you deal with the aftermath and apply for approval from the big boss, okay?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and waved his hand, "That's right!"

Xu Baihui glared at him fiercely again, then got up and went to the bedroom.

Zhou Buqi stretched out, put his arm on Sun Wanran's shoulders, and whispered: "To be honest, Korean girls are not interesting. They have no advantages except being obedient."

"Are you obedient?"

"Well, the thief is obedient and will do whatever he is told."

"Isn't it good to be obedient?"

"There is a word called conquer...forget it, you don't understand." Zhou Buqi avoided the topic, "What are your plans for the afternoon?"

Sun Wanran said: "Go to the factory, Ma Pingshan invited me."

"Oh, drone, I have to go take a look." Zhou Buqi sighed, "Let me tell you, my work is all arranged by you, how do I have any choice?"

In the afternoon, Zhou Buqi and Bajixing’s team went to a spare parts supply factory for drones.

This is a new factory, invested by Taiwanese businessmen, with a very high technical level.

The workers all wore uniforms, men and women came and went constantly, and the factory was managed in an orderly manner. But in Zhou Buqi's opinion, he always felt that it lacked some vitality.

These industrial workers are all young, with an average age similar to that of Ziweixing.

But the factory feels lifeless.

At best it sounds orderly, but at worst it sounds like the standardization of assembly line workers, rejecting all personal things and making everyone look the same.

Industrial upgrading is really necessary.

In the same city, the CBD office buildings in the urban area are full of white-collar workers with annual salaries of hundreds of thousands or millions, but the factories on the outskirts of the city are still filled with low-end, zombie-like industrial workers.

Zhou Buqi was originally very happy that he helped the Korean girl successfully complete the coming-of-age ceremony in the morning, but the working atmosphere in the factory was really worrying.

It’s not a question of more money or less, but the difference between humans and non-humans.

E-commerce has given rise to the express delivery industry, and takeaway has given rise to delivery boys. Even though there are many criticisms, overall, the living environment and income level of this group have been improved.

Halfway through the investigation, an even more disturbing scene appeared.

A worker, half covered in blood, walked over accompanied by two workers.

Zhou Buqi was heartbroken.

The accompanying Factory Manager Zhang was so angry that he quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

The man replied: "It's okay, one of my fingers fell off."

Director Zhang said quickly: "Follow the procedure, deal with it urgently, and then send it to the hospital!"

Zhou Buqi and his party were surrounded by many women, and many of them couldn't bear to look at her and turned their heads. Zhou Buqi also looked at the injured worker with a solemn expression.

He looked pained, but looked calm, as if everything was in order.

Factory Director Zhang explained with a smile: "Wire cutting workers are prone to accidents if they don't work as required. It doesn't matter. They can be sent to the hospital in time and their fingers can still be reattached."

Zhou Buqi nodded, investigated in the workshop as usual, and asked, "Does this happen often?"

Director Zhang hesitated for a moment, then admitted: "There are some, many technicians who are not skilled enough. If they are not careful, they may make mistakes."

Zhou Buqi said half-jokingly: "Is this considered a work-related injury?"

Director Zhang said formally: "Forget it, of course, it's 30,000 yuan for one finger! We are a Taiwan-funded enterprise, and the subsidy standard is very high. Like other factories, it's only a few thousand yuan, which is a bit more. Maybe just a few hundred dollars.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Where is the wire cutting department? Come and take a look?"

"Okay, no problem!"

Factory Director Zhang has more than ten years of experience in running a factory. He was hired by a Taiwanese businessman with a high salary and has very standardized management of the factory. Although there was a small accident in which a finger was cut off, overall, the operation and management of this factory is still very good.

Zhou Buqi and his party stopped and watched for a few minutes.

To be honest, I don’t think this technical difficulty is very high. With a little training, it is just a technical job on the assembly line. The most important thing is concentration.

Just stay alert and you won't get hurt.

I'm afraid that the workload of the workers is too heavy. If they work for several hours in a row, their attention will be distracted and accidents will happen easily.

This is a problem of the general environment, and it cannot be solved without a single machine. The development of artificial intelligence robots will be slow and long-term, and it will be difficult to replace robots in 20 to 30 years.

It is better to follow the arrangements of the authorities and upgrade the industry step by step and step by step.

In the evening, Zhou Buqi attended the investment promotion conference jointly run by the province and city. Looking around, at least half of the foreigners present were all dressed up. It was a very grand occasion.

Zhou Buqi, like those leading officials, is also contributing his own strength to explain our business environment and determination to adhere to reform and opening up to foreign investors, hoping that they can effectively implement investment projects.

In this process, it is indispensable to exchange wine and drink.

But he couldn't drink the red wine in the glass. It always reminded him of the blood of the worker who had severed his finger in the factory that afternoon.

Later, he reluctantly diverted his attention and mentally compared the color of the red wine to the Korean girl's white handkerchief stained by red wine. He calmed down a little and drank it.
