Chapter 510: Storm and Clouds

While Chen Geng was still happy that he had firmly controlled the right to speak on the PC operating system, there was a heated discussion going on in Huaxia across the Pacific Ocean, of course, this discussion was between a group of extremely high-level officials in a very small area......

"One month, more than 730,000 units, 1.8 billion US dollars, tsk......"

Even though it has been several days since he saw this news, Deputy Director Huang of the Planning Commission still couldn't help but smack his tongue: People's monthly turnover is even more than Huaxia's foreign exchange reserves in a year.

"Tut-tut......"

"Tut-tut......"

The high-ranking bigwigs sighed with emotion.

Some bigwigs also reminded: "It was the first month, and half of the second month has passed, even if the sales in the second month are a little worse than the first month, how can you sell more than 100,000 units, right? That is almost 900,000 units, more than 20 billion US dollars in business, really ...... Tsk, I don't know what to say, why is this money so easy?"

"Tut-tut......"

"Tut-tut......"

............

The bigwigs smacked their tongues again, and they were all kinds of unconvinced and convinced in their hearts: Why is it more difficult for us to earn some foreign exchange than to eat, and how easy is it for Chen Geng to make money? It's just lying at home and making money.

"Alas, you say, just this past month, how much money can Chen Geng make? Can he earn 100 million?"

"100 million?" The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation scoffed at this figure: "This is an electronic computer! It is also the most advanced high-tech in the United States, and there is no profit of at least 20 percent, so he is capable of cultivating it? 20 percent of the 180 million is 360 million, maybe more than 400 million ......."

"Counting this month, not only is it more than 400 million, maybe even 500 million. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"Chen Geng's vision is really not said, when Chen Geng was advertising on major TV stations and newspapers in the United States, the whole United States looked down on them, and felt that Chen Geng was going to plant a big heel this time, now let's look back and look at it...... Alas, no wonder people can make such a big business, this vision, this judgment ability, really unconvinced. ”

As soon as these words came out, the huge conference room fell silent for a while.

A few days ago, when Chen Genghao spent tens of millions of dollars to advertise on major media platforms in the United States, it was not only the American media that were not optimistic about Chen Geng, but also many domestic leaders and experts were not optimistic about Chen Geng's move, thinking that Chen Geng's money was basically wasted, but the words he swore at the beginning were still in his ears, and when he turned his head, he was slapped in the ears by Chen Geng's actual actions.

In the first month of listing, sales exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars, and profits are very likely to reach 400 million US dollars, and now thinkcenter has been listed for a month and a half, conservatively estimated that sales are also more than 22 billion, and profits may reach 500 million US dollars, which is almost equivalent to 40% of China's foreign exchange reserves last year!

What if thinkcenter sells for a year? Wouldn't Chen Geng earn more than the total amount of foreign exchange reserves earned by Huaxia with the help of this product alone? !

It's terrifying!

Finally, someone broke this silence: "The actions of the Fourth Machine Ministry, the General Administration of Radio and Television Industry, and the General Administration of Electronic and Computer Industry are a bit slow." ”

"Yes, what are the Fourth Machine Ministries, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television Industry, and the General Administration of Computer Industry doing?" A leader immediately chimed in: "I heard that of the 730,000 thinkcenters, only less than 10,000 of them use our picture tubes?

According to the purchase price promised by Chen Geng before, not to mention that the picture tubes needed for these 730,000 computers are all purchased from Huaxia, even if one-third or even a quarter of them are purchased from Huaxia, how much is that? How much foreign exchange income can it bring to the country?

Previously, everyone didn't have an intuitive impression of this matter, after all, Chen Geng's words looked like painting cakes before, but now, everyone is anxious, or that sentence, this is all green dollars!

"Lao Wang, what do you say about the Fourth Machine Department?" Deputy Director Huang looked up at Lao Wang of the Fourth Machine Department.

"I have already severely criticized the comrades concerned," Vice Minister Wang stood up, his expression very heavy: "Our individual comrades do not have a good and profound understanding of the great significance of this cooperation to our country, and they are not ...... enough."

"Okay, there is no need to say these words," Deputy Director Huang interrupted Vice Minister Wang's words: "There is no need to say these words, the chief is also very concerned about this issue, today's meeting, in addition to letting everyone speak freely, there is another point, that is, to ask the comrades of the Fourth Machinery Department, the General Administration of Radio and Television Industry, and the General Administration of Electronic and Computer Industry to complete the terms of cooperation with Mr. Chen Geng as soon as possible, and take into account the overall situation."

For example, I heard that FAW has put forward some very excessive conditions for cooperation with Chen Geng? Over the years, FAW has made great contributions to the development of the country, but this is not a reason for them to lie on the merits and eat their old books......

........................

When Huaxia's senior management, stimulated by the sales of 730,000 thinkcenters, promoted the cooperation with Chen Geng with great enthusiasm, Chen Geng did not know that he had been targeted.

On this very ordinary afternoon, a very ordinary-looking person walked into the AMC Auto Workers Union......

"Who are you looking for?" The front desk aunt glanced up lazily at the visitor and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

"There is no appointment, but I would like to visit Mr. Big George. The person said with a smile.

There are many people named George in the AMC Auto Workers Union, but there is only one "Big George", and that is George Walker, the president of the AMC Auto Workers Union.

Yes, this is where the headquarters of the AMC Auto Workers Union is located.

In the United States, there is a powerful organization that no capitalist dares to offend easily, and can easily bring down a business, and this organization is called a trade union.

As for the trade unions in China, they are the tools of the ruling party to control the workers, and they do not deserve to be called trade unions at all, but these public knowledge flies will certainly not tell you that in the United States, if a worker dares not to join a union and pay dues, he cannot work...... Yes, that's how American unions "serve" the American working class.

In fact, if you carefully analyze the trade unions in the United States, you will find that the American trade unions do not serve the workers, because they have not solved the problem of the emigration of the American manufacturing industry, and the workers in the United States still can't find a job if they want to find a job, but when they can't find a job, the membership fee is absolutely indispensable, and the main officials of the union not only have luxurious office buildings, but also have super high annual salaries- During the Clinton administration, the annual salary of the chairman of a labor union in Michigan was $400,000, while Clinton's annual salary at that time was less than $200,000, and the annual salary of the chairman of a state union was more than twice that of the president of the United States. Enjoying all kinds of benefits and privileges, even the union headquarters is located on the top floor of the most expensive building on New York's Sixth Avenue, and the floor is decorated with high-grade marble, and the interior decoration is luxurious comparable to the home of the commander of Sichuan.

In the United States, trade unions have become a special class that lives by coercing workers and capitalists, threatening companies with strikes at every turn (AMC is the victim), and relying on this right to speak, trade unions have become more and more powerful political power.

"You don't have an appointment and you want to see Mr. George?" The 250-pound front desk aunt couldn't help but laugh as if she had heard something extremely funny: "Do you know what Mr. George's identity is...... Belch...... Uh......"

Looking at the 10 100 yuan bills in front of her, the front desk aunt was suddenly speechless, and she looked greedily at the $1,000 in front of her.

"Miss Annie, huh?" the visitor looked at her with a smile, "I heard you're Mr. George's cousin? I wonder if you can help me ask Mr. George, if he has time to see me now? Well, I don't need too long, just ten minutes is enough, I want to talk to him about raising the wages and benefits of AMC auto workers, as long as you can do it, the $1,000 is yours." ”

Undoubtedly, this guy's intentions are very suspicious, but what does it matter to Anne, who sits in this position because of her cousin and can get a super high annual salary of $2,000 every day without doing anything, his cousin is the chairman of the union, and now he is at the union headquarters, what can he do with himself?

Glancing at the visitor, Mary picked up the phone without saying a word: "Hey, cousin, someone wants to meet you...... Well, there are no appointments...... Don't, listen to me, he said he wanted to talk to you about raising the wages of AMC auto workers...... Ok good good ......"

After hanging up the phone, Mary put away the $1,000 in front of her very familiarly, and pointed casually: "Take the first elevator, which is for my cousin." ”

Instead of minding people to know that "Big George" was her cousin, she was quite proud.

........................

"You want to see me, who are you here on?"

Big George looked at the person in front of him with a scrutinizing face, it was very ordinary, it belonged to the kind that could not be found on the street at all, the only thing that caught his eye was that the suit on this guy seemed to be hand-made and valuable......

The visitor smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter who I am here on, what matters is whether Mr. George is willing to do business with my boss?"

"What business?"

"A $200,000 business ......," the visitor said, and with a bang, he brought his hard briefcase, which was full of green bills.

Big George's breath became rapid.
