1143 Is This Okay?

Pompei put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Xiao Feng, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you buddy!"

Xiao Feng could tell that this guy still wasn't very confident.

So he laughed: "Man, why do they want to get rid of you? It's just that they have money."

"But let me tell you, the most important thing we need is money! The California consortium is very rich, and I am not short of money. Even you have a lot of money yourself."

"With money, there are resources, so you don't have to worry about it at all."

"And those old guys have been rampant in the United States for a long time, right? There must be many people who are dissatisfied with them, right?"

Xiao Feng's question really hit the point. Speaking of this topic, Pompey immediately became interested.

"Hehe, that's really the case. For example, in Silicon Valley, there are many new types of enterprise groups after World War II. Many people are dissatisfied with these old guys."

Speaking of the chaebols in the United States, the conflicts between them have actually never stopped.

At the earliest time, it was Morgan and Rockefeller who rose up to fight against capital from Europe.

After World War I, the United States became the world's largest economic power, and the plutocrats in the United States at that time also completely established their position.

But at that time, the rich were mainly concentrated in the traditional east coast region, while in the west, California, there were no decent consortiums at all.

But after World War II, the California consortium took advantage of the situation to rise.

Become the only consortium that can fight against the consortia in the East, Morgan, Rockefeller, Cleveland, Boston, Chicago and so on.

However, with the emergence of emerging electronic technologies after World War II and the popularization of electronic computers, Silicon Valley emerged.

The new consortia and companies in California are getting bigger and bigger.

And this emerging force has become an enemy of Wall Street capital, which relies on traditional monopoly banks.

Especially in the late 1980s and in 2008.

Wall Street capital predators,

After several successive worldwide financial crises.

The confrontation between the eastern and western plutocrats in the United States is now becoming more serious.

Because of the traditional eastern chaebols, the right to speak in the traditional American financial industry is very important.

But the new chaebols in California found that they paid a lot of taxes every year, but these taxes were taken away by those old chaebols for no reason.

So this makes the chaebols in the west very dissatisfied. The two sides compete in the industry, and confrontation happens from time to time.

At present, from the perspective of the platoon, the strength of the traditional East Coast veterans is stronger.

However, the power of the chaebols on the west coast has been expanding rapidly in recent years, and they are no longer as powerless as before.

So now, although the veterans of the United States are still powerful.

But it has long since lost the absolute advantage it had over the West Coast chaebols, and the gap is definitely not as strong as it was in the last century.

So although Pompey was worried about the strength of the opponent, but thinking about it now, it seemed that they were not completely powerless to fight the opponent.

Xiao Feng's words reassured Pompey. With Xiao Feng's funds and the California consortium mentioned by Xiao Feng, it is not impossible for him to win.

Although he was born in California, he had nothing to do with the California consortium before.

Because he was funded by the Octopus family, but it's different now, Xiao Feng is the niece and son-in-law of Dalton, the big man in the California consortium.

The Hamilton family is an important member of the California consortium.

If the Hamilton family expresses their opinion, the California consortium will definitely stand on their side.

With these people joining forces, it is not only rich, but also has more political resources.

In addition, his wife's family also has a lot of energy, and there are so many forces supporting him.

Those old guys on the east coast, it seems, are not so scary.

After comforting Pompey, Xiao Feng withdrew.

But unexpectedly, early the next morning, Helen's uncle Dalton came to the door.

"Asshole, they actually launched an investigation on me, these assholes!"

The old man was obviously furious, and he couldn't help but cursed as soon as he entered the living room.

Xiao Feng hurriedly asked Helen to make them two cups of coffee, while he dragged the old man to the porch, where he lit a cigar for the old man.

"What happened, Dalton?"

Laomei is really different from the domestic ones. No matter what kind of relatives they are, they prefer to call them by their first names directly, and they don't use titles such as uncle and uncle very much.

"Isn't it the last purchase? I took an order from the Ministry of Defense before, and provided military boots to the National Guard in California, as well as soldiers at more than a dozen bases in Utah and Washington State."

"Mad, but they say there's something wrong with my boots!"

Xiao Feng was taken aback by Dalton's words.

Because before, when he and Dalton met for the first time, Dalton asked him if he knew any shoes and boots manufacturers in China.

If you know anyone, please introduce them to him. He wants to order a batch of beige boots.

Because he received some military boot contracts from the Ministry of Defense.

Xiao Feng naturally agreed, and then asked He Xiaojun to help contact several shoe manufacturing companies in China.

Now He Xiaojun is in the country, but he is a big boss whose status is no lower than that of the second horse.

And because he leads the most promising biotechnology company in China, his status in the business world is even higher than that of Erma, who only does pure e-commerce.

After all, Chinese people also know that a company like his is truly made in H country.

Because of his high status in Jianghu, it was quite easy for He Xiaojun to find such a company.

But after saying hello, many bosses came to the door within two days.

In the end, He Xiaojun chose two shoe-making companies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and recommended them to Xiao Feng.

These two companies used to be OEMs for big-name shoe companies in Europe and the United States.

The enterprise has technology, production lines, and the level of workers is also very good.

Xiao Feng changed hands and recommended the company to Dalton, and Dalton immediately sent someone over to investigate.

After two weeks of negotiations, the contracts with these two companies were finalized.

From these two companies, 40,000 pairs of military boots were ordered back to the United States.

And these military boots are all manufactured with the materials and specifications specified by the Mi Army.

The quality must be nothing to say, but seeing Dalton's attitude now, Xiao Feng feels a little confused.

Could it be that the quality of the boots produced by those two companies is not up to standard?

So Dalton found himself on his head?

"What's wrong? Are our boots substandard?"

Xiao Feng asked with a guilty conscience, if it was really a quality problem, then he would be ashamed.

After all, he recommended these two companies to Dalton.

But Dalton's next answer made him dumbfounded.

"Wrong, shit, it's not that the quality is substandard. It's that the quality is too good!"

"Huh? Because the quality is so good? Are they going to investigate you? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Xiao Feng felt that his brain could not turn around.

Because the quality is not enough, he can understand being investigated, but because the quality is not enough, but being investigated, this is a bit ruined!

Dalton glanced at him, then sighed.

"Hey! This matter has to be started by someone. In the past, our military boots were also OEM products purchased from Huaguo. The quality has always been good."

"But whoever came to power has been yelling about maga, and wants to transfer some production lines and jobs back to the United States."

"Especially equipment like military boots and military uniforms must be produced in our country."

"So when the military purchases military boots, it always emphasizes with suppliers that they must be made in the United States."

"But you say those entrepreneurs, who are stupid? Who wants to produce military boots in the United States?"

"The purchase price of a pair of military boots is 150 yuan, but the workers who make shoes in the United States have a minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour."

"And you know the efficiency of those guys. It's not bad if they can produce a pair of boots for you in an hour."

"I have to rest every three days, and I always go on strike, and take to the streets to parade, asking you to give him a raise."

"Moreover, many raw materials for making shoes have to be purchased from Huaguo, and the shipping cost alone is a lot of money."

"So if a pair of military boots are made in the United States, the cost will be at least a hundred meters away."

"Are you going to pay miscellaneous expenses, those bosses are still making a fart?"

"So a few years ago, everyone still produced in the United States, but after finding out that there was no profit, everyone started to think of a way."

"For example, order production in country h and ship it back to the United States, then cut off the label and put your own label on it."

"That's what everyone does anyway, and so do I."

Dalton began to tell Xiao Feng the allusions of military boots. In fact, he has been in this business for many years.

He has been making 40% of the military boots that dod purchases every year.

"But I never thought that this time it was bad."

"In the past, the military boots we produced in China usually had problems within one month after they were delivered to the military."

"It's normal for the thread to open, the glue to open, and even the sole to fall off."

"But it's different this time. The military boots I ordered from country H this time are really durable."

"Given to the military, they have been wearing them for almost three months, but there is still no pair of stitches, glue, or damage."

"So, they said there was something wrong with my boots."

"The military boots provided to the military are not made-in-usa, but made-in-a!"

"It's not patriotic to say that I know a lot about foreign countries! These boots are not made by Americans..."

"wtf..."

After hearing Dalton's description, Xiao Feng could only swear.

this is okay too?

The quality of the military boots produced is so good that it has become a problem?

He really doesn't understand the brain circuits of these Americans.

But this matter is definitely not as simple as those military boots made in country h.

This must be someone knocking on the mountain, using this incident to beat Dalton and the California consortium behind him!
