Smuggling is one of the oldest sins in history. From tobacco, alcohol, food, to home appliances and cars, as long as there are price differences between home and abroad, there is an urge to get around the border.

Now it can be said that it is the era when smuggling crime is the most rampant. Many ethnic pillar industries have been severely impacted, and even to the brink of collapse, astronomical national tariffs have been ruthlessly swallowed up.

What is even more anxious is the twin phenomenon of smuggling and **.

In the late 1980s, it was a historical watershed in the qualitative change in smuggling activities. In the early days, simple spontaneous smuggling began to gradually evolve into the official and business model.

First there were smuggling cases in Dandong and *shan. Local powers colluded with smugglers for local interests. Later, there was a major case in Zhanjiang, which verified the tragic law that there must be a big ** behind the big smuggling.

A system that is rotten from top to bottom ****, power bribery and power rent-seeking are dependent on each other. Through the criminal carrier of smuggling, both achieve the maximization of illegal interests and reach the unprecedented peak of crime.

The customs fortress was originally responsible for defending the country's borders. Customs fortresses have become the worst-hit area. Many customs officials were captured by smugglers with silver bullet soldiers without bloodshed and fell on the cemetery of power.

Previously, some people blamed smuggling as reform and opening up. These arguments were just forgotten that it was the dual-track price system at home and abroad formed by the lockdown country that inspired the original ** of smuggling. Some local governments misuse preferential policies, which to some extent is the price that reform must pay, rather than the fault of opening up itself. China is increasingly integrating into the world economy and the increasing concessions of commodity tariffs will only increasingly compress the huge profit space and original driving force of smugglers.

Thinking of this, Fan Wubing said to Mr. Zhu. Ban, "In short, it still needs to be reformed and opened up. Only by completely integrating into the international family can smuggling be eliminated. Of course, this is not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time."

In fact, Fan Wubing immediately thought of Xiamen Yuanhua, but hesitated for a moment and did not mention it to Boss Zhu.

He himself couldn't figure out many things in China, so he didn't know whether the senior management knew that something was so big that Xiamen Yuanhua had done. If there was really insider information, it would be too unwise to pick it out. Once some things are involved in the struggles of the upper class, it would be better to participate less, so as not to cause trouble. After all, he does not have the ability to interfere in such matters yet.

It is better to let these things go naturally, and you will never interfere too much in the process of certain historical events.

As the two chatted casually, Ye Ying took the initiative to come over. She was more familiar with Boss Zhu because she had served as consular counselor of the US Embassy in China before. She was considered an important diplomat and had a lot of dealing with each other. This time she was poached Kodak, which actually wanted to borrow her extensive network of relations in Chinese politics to clear Kodak's proposal.

Ye Ying greeted Boss Zhu with a cup, and then said to Fan Wubing, "Can you say a few words to Mr. Fan?"

Fan Wubing looked at Boss Zhu, nodded and said, "Of course, in fact, there are still many topics we will discuss in the future."

The two walked to the side, found a seat to sit down, and clinked a glass of wine. Then Ye Ying asked, "Why does Mr. Fan have such a special liking for digital camera technology? I don't really believe that you did this just for your girlfriend."

Fan Wubing smiled with a hint. Intuitively, he disagrees with this old woman. Although Ye Ying is also a Chinese with yellow skin and dark eyes, in Fan Wubing's opinion, she should be the kind of banana human being. Her skin is yellow and her flesh is white. In other words, except for her skin color is the same as that of Chinese, she has completely Westernized. Whether in terms of ideology or national identity, she cannot be considered a Chinese.

Some people used this kind of thing to hype before, such as some Chinese people became governors of the United States and some Chinese people became ministers of a certain country. In fact, Fan Wubing felt that these things themselves were meaningless. After all, since they could be recognized by other governments and voters, they were serving the people of the country wholeheartedly. For others, China is not a country that will serve or recognize for it.

Or, in a sense, when conflicts arise between the two countries, what these people are going to target must be China. Just like Ye Ying now, for her, the Chinese market needs to be plundered by randomly, rather than saying that she will really use Kodak's resources to serve the Chinese public. This is a joke.

Of course, some people are willing to believe this statement and are willing to guide the media to mislead the public. What they want to express is nothing more than one meaning. We Chinese are also capable, but when we think about it, what soil does other people’s ability come from?

Fan Wubing shook the red wine in the glass and said, "I don't like this kind of wine. The wine I drink is usually original in Tianshan. When we have a status and status, it is always a bit different from the pursuit of ordinary people, so you don't need to guess what I think, it's meaningless."

Ye Ying's expression suddenly became very complicated. When facing Clinton, she felt that she was superior, but in front of Fan Wubing, the young man, it seemed that the US president was just like a soak in shit. This feeling was really weird.

However, Fan Wubing still explained his thoughts, "Although many companies are working on digital camera technology and the threshold is relatively low, paying attention to it moderately plays a relatively important role in the global business expansion of our Fan Investment Group."

The development history of digital camera technology is very fast. Last year, the popular digital cameras were digital cameras with a maximum resolution of about 350,000 ccd pixels and a maximum resolution of 640**480 pixels. The megapixel digital cameras have just emerged. Only Fujifilm, Olympus, Kodak and Konica each launched a new product.

The focus of the development of popular digital cameras is, in addition to improving image disassembly, the focus is on developing special functions, which are some functions that traditional film cameras do not have or cannot do, to show the superiority of digital cameras, such as equipping the LCD monitor screen as a viewfinder on the body and checking the shooting effect on the spot after shooting, making the lens into a function that can rotate a certain degree, combining the LCD screen with the convenient function, installing the computer's function of quickly transmitting image data, etc.

This year, low-priced megapixel digital cameras have become new hot spots and mainstream products, among which new products reach and exceed one million pixels account for about 80% of all new models.

This year's digital cameras have put a lot of effort into functions, basically using optical zoom lenses, up to 14 times, and some cameras also have digital zoom functions. Most digital cameras have the function of connecting external flashes, and some models have built-in flashes and external synchronous flashes.

Most digital cameras are equipped with ** optical viewing or SLR viewing functions, while SLR digital cameras add interchangeable lens function. In addition, the U interface is generally used to quickly download image data to the computer.

In addition, a new function has emerged, which is the function of printing digital photos without using a personal computer to connect. The Ye can directly or through recording media such as ** cards and use a dedicated printer to print digital photos.

Therefore, the development of digital camera technology has also driven the development of some computer peripheral products. Therefore, when Fan Wubing mentioned that he had a broad mind, Ye Ying felt that he could agree with it.

"Of course, I also think that Kodak's monopoly on the Chinese film industry market will bring relatively large benefits, so it is also a good choice to participate. At least during the cooperation period, you should give me more discounts on those printing equipment, right?" Fan Wubing said to Ye Ying with a smile.

"We have a complete discount system. As long as the quantity meets the requirements, the price can be negotiated. However, if the quantity is too small, even if the shareholders within the company want a larger discount, they will be powerless." Ye Ying replied.

"I usually do it very generously," Fan Wubing also said.

Ye Ying had never doubted this. She knew very well how strong the Fan Investment Group was. Since Fan Wubing said she wanted to participate in the Kodak joint venture case, she asked the United States to fully understand the situation of Fan Investment Group. Coupled with the comprehensive analysis of the intelligence department in mainland China, she came to a conclusion that Fan Wubing was too powerful and was really provoked.

The recent series of actions taken by Fan Wubing in Indonesia also made Americans more worried. The Habibi government is already under the control of Fan Wubing. Not only has it sold a lot of mineral resources, but it has also sold advantageous areas as a base for Fan Wubing to use, which made the American side, who has gradually faded out of Indonesia feel uneasy.

However, the current situation in Indonesia is relatively chaotic, and the United States has not yet made up its mind to return to Indonesia, so it can only let Fan Wubing go there and do nothing to do.

Clinton was not having a good time at this time. He was in a mess because of the zipper door incident created with Lewinsky. If he wanted to return to Indonesia, he would definitely be criticized by the public for taking the opportunity to divert the public's attention. Therefore, if he could not solve his own affairs for the time being, he would not care about Indonesia.

Not caring about it does not mean not paying attention. In fact, CIA has begun to pay attention to the situation in Indonesia. They were shocked to find that the power deployed by Fan Wubing in Indonesia is already too large and it is difficult to deal with.
