Chapter 123 Going to Europe again! (Look for a monthly pass! Ask for a recommended ticket!)
On September 17, Wu Guangyao arrived in London and came to the European branch of PG Zipper.
The European branch has leased a two-story building with a lot of space. It has both a sales department, a machinery research and development department, and a product research and development department. There are hundreds of employees, and the strength is not weak.
The leader of Sun Zhou, the head of the European branch, Wu Guangyao and everyone know one by one.
Thomas, the head of the mechanical R&D department, is an experienced 50-year-old English engineer. His gray hair, gray beard, and thin face are somewhat similar to Wu Guangyao’s old English man. Thomas currently leads the team, focusing on automatic nylon zipper machines, and some other machinery.
The head of the product development department, Pete, is a German engineer, but he is only 30 years old this year, but his face is a bit of Prussian rigor. At present, the leading team is also focusing on nylon zipper products and non-metal zippers, and has a full cooperation with the machinery department.
The first thing Wu Guangyao was surprised was that the head of the Legal Department was actually a young and beautiful white woman, with golden brown slightly curly hair, three-dimensional features, and bright eyes.
Sun Zhou was afraid of Wu Guangyao’s misunderstanding, and specifically introduced: “Kayla graduated from the Law Department of Cambridge University and worked in a law firm for two years. She is quite familiar with the legal affairs here. It can be handled in a timely and efficient manner!"
"Boss, you seem to be surprised at me, can I say you are underestimating me?" Kayla said slyly, obviously not afraid of the young boss Wu Guangyao.
Of course, Wu Guangyao will not be angry, not to mention a beautiful woman, even a talented employee, he will not mind.
You allow you to be arrogant, but you have to be arrogant!
"I think you have misunderstood. I am surprised that you are beautiful and do not underestimate your ability. I believe that everyone here who can come here must be a capable person, and I trust Yes!" Wu Guangyao easily covered his gaffe.
"Wow, BOSS, you can really talk!"
Sun Zhou saw the two chatting hot, his eyes rolled, and he immediately interrupted: "Boss, you have a lot of things to do when you come to Hong Kong Island this time. Minister Keira is obviously a good companion. She is proficient in European and American laws and can avoid it. A lot of trouble!"
Wu Guangyao heard that, he didn’t know if Sun Zhou had misunderstood, or he really thought about it for himself.
But obviously, what Sun Zhou said makes sense, and he really needs someone who understands legal affairs to follow!
"Well, what you said is very reasonable. I need to buy freighters and invest in machinery companies this time. I really need a person who understands legal affairs." Wu Guangyao said slowly. The sensible subordinates should be able to answer the conversation. !
"I am willing to accompany the BOSS to complete these tasks. Recently, our legal department is out of space, and we just happen to have something to do!" Kayla said readily.
Indeed, to say that the department of a company is the most empty, the Legal Department must be ranked.
But it is very important, just like Dinghai Shenzhen, absolutely no less, no weak!
Wu Guangyao nodded and continued to get to know everyone one by one.
Of course, ordinary employees, it must be forgotten afterwards!
Although my own brain is developed, they all need to come in handy!
To nearly a hundred people, Wu Guangyao said loudly: "Just before I came, our PG Zipper Company put forward a slogan, that is,'The zipper produced in a year should go around the earth.' So everyone, don't relax. Don’t think that we can relax our vigilance if we have achieved the world’s number one position. The zipper market has exploded every year. In order to continue to win the next round of competition, the company decided to continue to increase research and development costs." Wu Guangyao conveyed the company’s recent Content of the meeting.
After all the personnel dispersed, everyone performed their duties, but Wu Guangyao called all the leadership and held a meeting in the conference room.
"Many people think that the sales volume of our PG zippers is far ahead of other companies. In fact, what I value most is not sales volume, but quality. I want our zippers to be “sturdy” and “high-end” as the first impression of others. So you must take these two words as the focus of your work!"
In later generations, YKK zippers will continue to flourish, even if the total domestic production of China has exceeded YKK, but when it comes to high-end zippers, it is still YKK.
why is that?
It’s not because YKK has long attached importance to the word “firm” and occupied the mid-to-high-end market.
The domestic small workshops are just making a little fur profit!
So, Wu Guangyao asked the company's people to keep an eye on YKK, because it is a role model!
Even if PG zipper is currently leading, but I have no confidence that it will lead in the future.
In the evening, a dinner party was held in a hotel and all the employees here were invited.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, Kayla took the initiative to sit next to Wu Guangyao, which made Wu Guangyao’s heart sway!
"BOSS, what kind of place is Hong Kong Island?" Kayla's cheeks were red, which was obviously the reason for drinking red wine.
"It is a place full of opportunities. Perhaps it is not developed enough today, but I believe that its future must be second only to New York and London." Wu Guangyao said confidently.
Previous life, Hong Kong Island has developed very well, and in this life I have to take it to the next level!
It is a lofty goal to change a city by one person!
"Oh, what are its advantages?" Kayla obviously wouldn't blindly believe Wu Guangyao's words.
As a schoolmaster, it is natural to go to the bottom.
"The bond between China and the West, you Westerners have always wanted to establish trade with China since more than a hundred years ago, and you will not hesitate to start a war. This just illustrates the importance of Hong Kong Island."
"But it is only an entrepot, and its development prospects are limited!" Kayla ignored Wu Guangyao's run and continued to ask.
"Who said that, the manufacturing industry on Hong Kong Island still has many advantages. It can not only obtain your advanced equipment from the West, but also obtain cheap raw materials and manpower from the East. In the future, it will definitely not be a single entrepot, but Asian finance. Center and manufacturing center"
Wu Guangyao spared no effort to introduce Hong Kong Island to people, and naturally he also regarded himself as a Hong Kong Islander in his heart!
"Our company has so many advantages, what if the European and American governments implement trade protection?" Kayla continued to ask.
Wu Guangyao stared at Kayla, and his unabashed appreciation made the atmosphere at this table a bit strange!
"You are very smart! You can think of so many, work hard, and there will be a bigger stage waiting for you in the future!"
"As for what you asked, I was prepared for it, and then we will expand overseas. In the future, we will establish factories overseas!" Wu Guangyao continued.
The development of the company, Wu Guangyao knows well!
As a traverser, the way of others is your own way!
In the early morning, Wu Guangyao woke up from his sleep and looked at the side.
Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing, just a spring dream!
Get up, wash up, and continue to the office of the European branch.
Today, I still need to stay here for a day, listen to reports from all aspects, and give my own instructions!
While eating at noon, Wu Guangyao finally heard the news of the depreciation of the pound.
At this time, many English people were embarrassed, and they were obviously saddened by the news.
Currency devaluation is both a good thing and a bad thing. It is a double-edged sword!
However, the devaluation of the pound sterling is definitely not a good thing!
Because everything is being promoted by the United States, the new world hegemon has replaced the old world hegemon, and it will naturally hit your currency.
Although England won two world wars, although England won and especially lost in World War II, its economic and trade strength was severely weakened, and its debts have been piled up like a mountain (the first World War has not been paid off).
The international status naturally plummeted. In his memoirs, the then Prime Minister Churchill described his mood when he participated in the Yalta meeting to reshape the post-war system: “I have a huge polar bear sitting on one side, and a huge bison on the other side. In the middle is a head of bison. Poor little English donkey."
This kind of historical event, Wu Guangyao is naturally not touched. Everything is done in accordance with the historical script, not what a small person can do.
Fortunately, my foreign trade has always been settled in U.S. dollars, with very little loss!
In the afternoon, Wu Guangyao summoned Kayla into the office and asked her: "I bought two 10,000-ton oil tankers with Wheelock and implemented 12 installments. Three installments have been paid. Now the pound has depreciated. If I continue to pay the agreed amount in accordance with the contract, what trouble do you think I will have?"
Kayla said: "Are there any regulations on currency devaluation in the contract?"
"no!"
"Then you don’t need to worry about it and pay as usual. However, if Wheelock goes to court, there may be unexpected results. If there is a lawsuit, I am willing to go to Hong Kong Island to help you respond!"
Kayla is very confident, because the law on Hong Kong Island is British law, and what I have learned is sure to be able to deal with this kind of lawsuit.
At this time, George Madden, the head of Wheelock at the London headquarters, also heard the news of the depreciation of the pound.
First of all, there is not much sadness. After all, for large companies, they are basically fixed assets, and currency depreciation will cause prices to rise. This is equivalent to Wheelock’s increase in assets, and future export trade will be more competitive.
But George Madden suddenly thought of something. He immediately opened the safe in the office, found a contract, and read it carefully.
Half an hour later, George Madden slapped the table fiercely, screaming insults!
After calming down, George Madden murmured to himself: "That kid doesn't know that the pound will depreciate, right?"
"It's not right, even if you pay in Hong Kong dollars, he will also pay a lot less!"
However, George Madden reacted that it is not the time to pursue this, but how the contract was written and how could it not note the currency devaluation.
George Madden immediately called Hong Kong Island and ordered the person in charge of Far East Shipping to fire the person who drafted the contract, and prepared to negotiate with Global Shipping. He must try to recover the losses as much as possible, even if it is a lawsuit in the Shanghai Hong Kong Island Court.
The person in charge of Far East Shipping first fired the person who drafted the contract, and then hurriedly came to Global Shipping to explain his intention.
He Yuanzhang is so smart. When the boss was in Far East Shipping, he was ridiculed and despised by George Madden, and he was vividly remembered.
I also lose everything, and I will be prosperous.
How could I sympathize with them? Besides, what is such a small amount of money for such a big company?
Now, how can you let go, of course, everything must be done in accordance with the contract!
Furthermore, He Yuanzhang suspects that the boss deliberately set up this set and asked George Madden to drill into it!
In this era, currency exchange is basically a fixed exchange rate, not free floating!
U.S. dollar to pound, pound to Hong Kong dollar, dollar to yen, etc. These are all fixed exchange rates implemented.
Therefore, many contracts do not mention how to deal with the case of currency depreciation!
Unlike later generations, the contract is so sound!
"I want to see Mr. Wu, the boss of your company, please arrange it with Manager He!" Although the person in charge is a foreigner, he is a little bit low-pitched now, which is very different from the original majesty.
Because he knows that he is also responsible for the loopholes in this transaction!
The boss expelled his capable personnel, so why not express his dissatisfaction with himself!
"Sorry, Mr. Yinuo, our boss went to Europe for inspection. I don’t know the specific itinerary and can’t contact me! But don’t worry, I’ll talk to you as soon as he comes back! After all, I can’t do this at all, I It can only be operated in accordance with the contract."
"This" Yinuo suddenly felt helpless. It only took two or three days before the payment period. What should I do?
And looking at He Yuanzhang’s expression, I am afraid that this is the case, and Global Shipping will never compromise!
Eno feels like a sandwich biscuit. The two bosses fight and suffer.
Looking at Yinuo's disappointed departure, He Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "The self-righteous Englishman, arrogance has to pay a price!"

In his memoirs, the then Prime Minister Churchill described his mood when he participated in the Yalta meeting to reshape the post-war system: I have a huge polar bear sitting on one side, and a huge bison on the other side. In the middle is a head of bison. Poor little English donkey."This kind of historical event, Wu Guangyao is naturally not touched. Everything is done in accordance with the historical script, not what a small person can do.Fortunately, my foreign trade has always been settled in U.S. dollars, with very little loss!In the afternoon, Wu Guangyao summoned Kayla into the office and asked her: "I bought two 10,000-ton oil tankers with Wheelock and implemented 12 installments. Three installments have been paid. Now the pound has depreciated. If I continue to pay the agreed amount in accordance with the contract, what trouble do you think I will have?"Kayla said: "Are there any regulations on currency devaluation in the contract?""no!""Then you don't need to worry about it and pay as usual. However, if Wheelock goes to court, there may be unexpected results. If there is a lawsuit, I am willing to go to Hong Kong Island to help you respond!"Kayla is very confident, because the law on Hong Kong Island is British law, and what I have learned is sure to be able to deal with this kind of lawsuit.At this time, George Madden, the head of Wheelock at the London headquarters, also heard the news of the depreciation of the pound.First of all, there is not much sadness. After all, for large companies, they are basically fixed assets, and currency depreciation will cause prices to rise. This is equivalent to Wheelock's increase in assets, and future export trade will be more competitive.But George Madden suddenly thought of something. He immediately opened the safe in the office, found a contract, and read it carefully.Half an hour later, George Madden slapped the table fiercely, screaming insults!After calming down, George Madden murmured to himself: "That kid doesn't know that the pound will depreciate, right?""It's not right, even if you pay in Hong Kong dollars, he will also pay a lot less!"However, George Madden reacted that it is not the time to pursue this, but how the contract was written and how could it not note the currency devaluation.George Madden immediately called Hong Kong Island and ordered the person in charge of Far East Shipping to fire the person who drafted the contract, and prepared to negotiate with Global Shipping. He must try to recover the losses as much as possible, even if it is a lawsuit in the Shanghai Hong Kong Island Court.The person in charge of Far East Shipping first fired the person who drafted the contract, and then hurriedly came to Global Shipping to explain his intention.He Yuanzhang is so smart. When the boss was in Far East Shipping, he was ridiculed and despised by George Madden, and he was vividly remembered.I also lose everything, and I will be prosperous.How could I sympathize with them? Besides, what is such a small amount of money for such a big company?Now, how can you let go, of course, everything must be done in accordance with the contract!Furthermore, He Yuanzhang suspects that the boss deliberately set up this set and asked George Madden to drill into it!In this era, currency exchange is basically a fixed exchange rate, not free floating!U.S. dollar to pound, pound to Hong Kong dollar, dollar to yen, etc. These are all fixed exchange rates implemented.Therefore, many contracts do not mention how to deal with the case of currency depreciation!Unlike later generations, the contract is so sound!"I want to see Mr. Wu, the boss of your company, please arrange it with Manager He!" Although the person in charge is a foreigner, he is a little bit low-pitched now, which is very different from the original majesty.Because he knows that he is also responsible for the loopholes in this transaction!The boss expelled his capable personnel, so why not express his dissatisfaction with himself!"Sorry, Mr. Yinuo, our boss went to Europe for inspection. I don't know the specific itinerary and can't contact me! But don't worry, I'll talk to you as soon as he comes back! After all, I can't do this at all, I It can only be operated in accordance with the contract.""This" Yinuo suddenly felt helpless. It only took two or three days before the payment period. What should I do?And looking at He Yuanzhang's expression, I am afraid that this is the case, and Global Shipping will never compromise!Eno feels like a sandwich biscuit. The two bosses fight and suffer.Looking at Yinuo's disappointed departure, He Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "The self-righteous Englishman, arrogance has to pay a price!"End of this chapter
