Chapter 587 Keeping Up with the Pace

Xue Xizi nodded seriously, "What's the big deal between brothers?

What happens between Tou and Teacher Xiao An is our brothers’ business!

If it weren't for you and your wife, we brothers would probably still be working in the fields worrying about three meals a day, let alone providing a good life for our wives and children.

It is more beneficial than anything else if children can go to good schools, receive a good education and have a bright future.

Besides, we can also take this opportunity to travel abroad and broaden our horizons, which is something we can only dream of.”

Fang Yuan smiled and nodded, patted his shoulder, "Brother Xizi, go back and say hello to the brothers, we can transfer the cable TV network little by little to the new veterans.

Now, the outstanding young people sponsored by the company have begun to return to China one after another.

I think it’s time to expand our business and keep up with the international pace!”

Xue Xizi's expression brightened, and he saluted him very straight and solemnly, "Boss, we will follow your steps!"

After returning to China, An Zhixia and Fang Yuan took a good rest for a day, and then went back to the company to deal with matters. After finishing this period of work, she submitted the KF contract to the organization.

This was an important step for Xiahua's economy to take another step towards the international market, and the organization quickly held a meeting to discuss the matter. An Zhixia was also invited to sit in.

The proposals in the KF contract were very novel to the Xiahua organization staff, and it made it easier for them to accept foreign companies entering Xiahua than they had imagined.

However, everything must be strictly controlled at the beginning, otherwise, when the economy develops rapidly in the future and more foreign companies flock to Xiahua, it will be difficult to establish rules.

Although economic exchanges between countries promote domestic development, before Xiahua's enterprises export abroad, the entry of foreign companies will cause Xiahua's capital to flow out.

In order to resolve this imbalance, An Zhixia made a suggestion.

"We can't refuse economic exchanges with foreign countries just because we are afraid of this initial imbalance." She chuckled and said, "Why don't we change the way we do it and let the capital outflow become an export?"

Everyone was puzzled over this sentence. Capital outflow is just outflow, how can it become export?

A young man suddenly cried out in a low voice, and under everyone's frowning and disapproving gaze, he asked a little excitedly: "Teacher Xiao An, do you mean to let foreign companies use the funds earned from Xia Hua to purchase certain products of our country for export?

It is similar to the ancient barter, but it can ensure the colonization of our economy by foreign companies in the early stage! "

After hearing his words, everyone immediately understood what An Zhixia meant.

If they really find a way that foreign companies can accept, this method is very feasible!

Everyone got into a heated discussion again. Now that the general direction was in place, how could they choose the appropriate approach? After half a day, they still had their own opinions and did not agree with each other's approach.

Finally, they couldn't help but look at An Zhixia.

"Teacher Xiao An, since you proposed to convert the funds into an export method, you must have thought of the correct response measures, right?"

An Zhixia raised her eyebrows, chuckled and said, "It can't be considered a countermeasure.

KF is a fairly large company with branches all over the country and flexible management. Almost every branch can meet its needs locally and does not need the headquarters to provide anything, after all, shipping costs are expensive.

How can we promote our own products to retain capital outflow when the other side has everything they need? "

Everyone shook their heads. Not only did they oppose other people's opinions, they were also beginning to reject their own.

After all, they had no idea about KF's operating model before.

An Zhixia continued, "To put it simply, even if we temporarily force foreign companies to execute, we will not be able to export materials in the long term, which is tantamount to pushing ourselves further away from international trade.

Furthermore, the export of materials represents the outflow of our country's resources, which is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, and is more serious than capital outflow.

But we can export our culture!

If KF Company wants to have good profits in various places, it must first invest a considerable amount of money in advertising.

If we propose that Xiahua artists serve as spokespersons for one-third of KF, I think they should accept this condition without much resistance.

KF Company will open many branches in Xiahua in the future. By then, the endorsement fees and announcement fees of artists will pale in comparison with such lucrative profits.

But we have to look further ahead, and the spokespersons are rotated by outstanding domestic artists. This is equivalent to gilding our country's artists, increasing their international fame, and invisibly raising their value, and they will create more value in the future.

You can imagine that the profit of a well-received movie can equal the profit of a thousand branches, and an artist cannot make only one work a year. Every year, a group of artists are gilded and bring greater profits.

Cultural exports are more profitable and more aggressive than exports of materials, funds, manpower, resources, etc.!"

Everyone's brains are a bit out of sync, thinking capital outflow = export of a certain product = cultural output = winning one-third of the endorsement rights = high movie profits?

When they sorted it out, their thoughts seemed to flow smoothly, but if they were left to think on their own, they simply couldn't connect them together!

"I think it's okay," the big boss nodded, "Xia Hua is now starting to become active internationally, but he gives people a very strict impression, and he only appears in front of everyone when it comes to political affairs.

Culture comes first, and the stereotypes of us have been gradually changed. If water drops can wear away a stone, why can't we do the same?

The entertainment industry is a kind of national soft power. Although the direction of this industry is not easy to control, we cannot deny that its positive aspects have a significant impetus to the development of all aspects of the country.

Moreover, entertainment is also a consumer industry. Our country’s film and television productions have developed very well in recent years and have gained some fame in various countries in East Asia.”

Everyone nodded in response, and gradually the way forward became clear.

Everyone's thinking was opened up and many practical suggestions were put forward.

After two days of intense discussions, the organization gave a relatively complete response covering all aspects, including employee benefits, food procurement, food hygiene standards, product prices, and even the whereabouts of funds.

An Zhixia faxed the reply to Lance, and she received a call from him that afternoon.

Lance was quite excited. "Mrs. Fang, we can accept almost everything in the reply. So, will Xia Hua allow our KF company to settle in and open the first fast food chain in Kyoto?"
