No one is equal, people are animals
If workers in developing countries focus on the quality of life and family and friendship as in Europe and the United States, then labor costs will skyrocket, and they will fall into the middle-income trap like Brazil and South Africa. But do these people in developing countries deserve to be sacrificed? Damn, there's really no other way. Either sacrifice generations to go to developed countries, or get trapped in middle-income society and gradually disintegrate.

The theme is the development process of a Japanese car factory in a small American town. The
cultural differences are very delicately portrayed: the Japanese rigorous corporate culture and the pursuit of perfection, the American individualism and casual rambling. From the beginning of the film, I felt that the Japanese were repressed but full of enthusiasm. It is true that they did rely on this two-pole spirit to gradually become an economic power from a defeated country after World...

I believe that the Japanese boss at the end of the film finally recognized 15,000 vehicles and gave all the American workers a raise. There is indeed a problem with their IQ!
How can the boss who is so strict with quality and quantity give up lightly?
In fact, at the last second, he donated a lot of gifts to the "waste materials" in front of him, with only one purpose: to localize the American market for Japanese cars, so as to occupy the American market more and faster than his...

Eastern "work" culture in the eyes of Americans
The film was shot in 1986, 27 years ago. The reason why this movie was dug up like a big wave was because of an article in the New York Times. When the article talks about "Shuanghui's acquisition of Smithfield", it expands to the current Chinese investment boom in the United States, and recalls the wave of Japanese investment in the United States in the 1980s, and the film Gung Ho is one of Hollywood's masterpieces of that era. In fact, the English word Gung Ho comes...

Homework for Intercultural Business Communication, Using a 1986 film to deal with current cultural differences? ? The roommate looked embarrassed, but Keaton's performance saved it. The Japanese management joined the work, and the last reversal of the big boss was moved by your great American spirit? ? He Bo said, "I think the same way as the Americans." From the beginning of the red carpet and the microphone, it began to smear the Japanese. It is not necessary to hold a big one, unless you...

In the end, it's too idealized hahahaha, it's not as good-looking as Cao Dewang!...
Hunt Stevenson: Hey, sugarpuss, what's cooking?
Secretary: No, cooking... typing.
Hunt Stevenson: Well, is your boss in?
Secretary: Today not good day to see boss, man.
[resorting to a book of quotes]
Secretary: He between a lock and a hard on.
Hunt Stevenson: Now on these last few we might need to cut a few corners. Little things, like... Engines.
Kazihiro: In Japan, when production lags, worker stays longer in factory.
Hunt Stevenson: Okay, overtime. We can talk about overtime. I understand it now.
Kazihiro: They do not do it for pay. They do it for company.
Hunt Stevenson: Yeah, but that's there, this is here.
Audrey: Gentlemen, this is an American factory. They're never gonna go for that.
Kazihiro: Is that how you feel, Hunt, that they'll never go for it?
Hunt Stevenson: [pauses] Well, I'll tell you something. There's one guy who can get them to go for it, and you're looking at him.
Kazihiro: You can change workers' attitude?
Hunt Stevenson: If I can't, nobody can't.
Audrey: Nobody can.
Hunt Stevenson: Hey, would you shut up?
[Audrey leaves in disgust]
Hunt Stevenson: God... damn.
[Hunt briefly pauses]
Hunt Stevenson: Okay, you guys have a problem, right? I'm the answer man. I can work this out and make everybody happy. I always have. Come on, you gotta give me a shot here.
[Long pause by the Japanese executives]
Kazihiro: All right. We make no more changes for now.
Hunt Stevenson: There you go. Huh-huh, yeah.
[Hunt and Kaz toast each other]
