After listening to the other’s exact plan, Pei Yunxi’s brows tightened and then relaxed.
Although absurd, at least... it’s stronger than she imagined.
"Isn’t Myanmar at war?"
"You already know."
Nonsense.
She wasn’t exactly living under a rock.
"How can you invest and build a factory there when even basic stability can’t be guaranteed?"
"I didn’t say now."
Jiang Chen explained, "I told you over the phone, it’s just to give you a heads up, to prepare in advance so you won’t be thrown into confusion when the ti cos."
"The general trend of the world is that long unity must divide, and long division must unite. Myanmar is currently in chaos, but one day peace will be restored."
He spoke eloquently and logically, as if he could decide the situation in Myanmar himself.
Pei Yunxi looked at him silently.
Her silence was completely understandable.
Anyone would see Boss Jiang’s idea as too unrealistic, like a castle in the air.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Chen asked humbly, and Pei Yunxi responded frankly and succinctly, "I think you’ve lost your mind."
Jiang Chen was taken aback, but didn’t feel embarrassed. On the contrary, he laughed a little.
As the saying goes, hitting is caring, scolding is love.
The fact that she would scold him ant their relationship wasn’t stagnant.
"You should know what kind of place Myanmar is. Even if peace is restored, it would only be temporary. How can you talk about normal production when even the regi can’t maintain unity?"
"You’re right, but suppose, for example, that Myanmar is a safe and stable region, would you be willing to invest and build a factory?"
Jiang Chen asked seriously and earnestly, completely devoid of his usual casualness and flippancy.
Collaborating with Fujiwara Reiki was a hurdle he couldn’t get over in his heart, but that didn’t an he couldn’t make use of the other’s way of thinking.
It can’t be said to be standing on the shoulders of giants, but rather being good at learning, whether as a person or as a country.
How did Shenzhou grow from a backward, impoverished wreck of a country to one of the world’s top economies in just a few decades?
It was through learning and more learning.
Learning the strengths of others is a kind of wisdom, and it is certainly not a shaful act.
He himself might not have the prestigious status in Dongying like the Fujiwara Family, able to implant industries on a large scale in Myanmar, but he can progress step by step.
Firstly.
It’s the simplest and easiest manufacturing industry.
K.E Group is a very good testing ground.
Shenzhou back in the day rose based on manufacturing, this is undeniable. Now, the widely optimistic Southern Yue is replicating Shenzhou’s old path, serving as the world’s low-cost manufacturing hub.
No need to complain.
No one can reach the sky in a single bound, everyone needs to climb step by step from the most arduous and exhausting places.
"I wouldn’t."
"Why not?"
Jiang Chen was surprised, "Compared to other regions, Myanmar can offer better policies, cheaper labor, even free land use, and production costs can be drastically reduced."
Manufacturing, especially clothing, any brand, even the world’s top luxury groups, has no technical content.
The biggest cost is raw materials and labor.
Labor, among them, takes the largest share.
And in this regard, the more backward the place, the more advantageous it undoubtedly is.
The sa clothing factory worker, depending on the country’s level of developnt, could have a tenfold wage difference.
"K.E is an international high-end brand; if it sets up a factory and produces in a place like Myanmar, its brand value might plumt."
Only then did Pei Yunxi, who had been standing, sit down.
Jiang Chen slightly frowned.
A wise person will always make a mistake. This point indeed was sothing he hadn’t considered yet.
After careful consideration, what she said was not without reason.
The most important difference in clothing is the label.
Just like cars, the sa car, imported versus dostically produced, in the eyes of so people, might be of completely different grades.
Even top luxury brands like Hermès, if produced in places that are perceived as "dirty," "chaotic," and "inferior," might drastically lose appeal, even if the quality is identical.
This disparity is entirely psychological, but the consumption of the wealthy is about seeking a kind of spiritual satisfaction, isn’t it?
"...I’m not asking you to shift all the production lines, it’s unachievable and unrealistic. Aren’t you trying to tap into the sinking market? There’s no need to touch the high-end series; you can transfer the low-end ones."
Jiang Chen quickly ca up with a solution. With a thoughtful look in his eyes, he continued, "It’s best to cut the low-end products, establish a subsidiary, create a sub-brand. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone? It retains the brand value while expanding the low-end market and significantly reduces costs. As long as you can tell a good story, with your current popularity, there’s no fear of people not buying it."
Honestly.
While she found it absurd, the more she listened, Pei Yunxi actually started feeling a bit tempted.
"Of course, this is just my shallow idea; how exactly to implent it still needs further research."
"How can you guarantee that Myanmar will beco peaceful and stable?"
Pei Yunxi asked pointedly.
A stable environnt is always the primary premise for any investnt in production.
She hadn’t even had ti to consider why the other party was suddenly so inexplicably eager to help Myanmar attract investnt.
"Based on my comprehensive judgnt of the international situation."
Jiang Chen maintained a calm deanor, speaking boastfully.
K.E setting up a factory is just the beginning. If the effect is good, subsequently, the enterprises that Tianci invested in could also be introduced, and even Jin Hai could join in.
