Chapter 537 What a good entrepreneur should do

Chapter 537 What a good entrepreneur should do

“President Lin is right, our Aba Aba will launch overseas e-commerce in the future, and you merchants can completely communicate with foreign customers through the platform. Doing so will save you money on rent. I know that these are new models, and everyone may be a little distrustful and panicked, but if you don’t take that step bravely, you will all be eliminated by the times..." At this time, Feng said. Yun took the microphone and seized the opportunity to make up for it.

This made many merchants who were still a little hesitant agree with his statement.

Who doesn’t want to get rich?

Try it first, and if it doesn’t work, switch back to the original one.

This is the thought of most people present.

“Hey.”

Chen Xi sighed.

I used to see many people on the Internet saying that they need to be exposed to new models in order to make progress.

But when the new model came out, the clamoring people lost their jobs and turned to criticize the capitalists.

It's ridiculous to think about it.

The group of people complaining at the back are the ones yelling the most harshly at the front.

Some people are so weird, they always talk nonsense when their own interests are not involved.

When his own interests are violated, he will not realize the ridiculous remarks he made before, but will find an excuse to cover it up.

Our country has a large population. If we strongly support the development of e-commerce, it will indeed create jobs for many people in the early stages.

But when the life cycle of e-commerce reaches a certain level, the model will be fully mature.

Once something happens, countless people will be unemployed, including factory owners and countless middlemen.

On the surface, e-commerce removes middlemen and consumers can purchase products at low prices.

But the wool comes from the sheep, and they never thought about whether the money they earned would decrease.

Judging from the situation in the past life, productivity has been continuously strengthened, but the purchasing power of consumers has become weaker.

With supply exceeding demand and the emergence of self-media, the live streaming industry has emerged.

With the new arrival of goods, factory production speed has accelerated, raw material prices have increased, and personnel wages and insurance have increased, resulting in factory profits getting lower and lower.

This resulted in a large number of layoffs in factories and a large number of new recruits.

Those without jobs had no choice but to go to factories to make screws. At this time, many labor agencies began to emerge, recruiting workers at low prices and earning money on both sides.

The boss and the worker were plucked out of the labor agency, and then the conflict and opposition between the two emerged.

The workers accused the bosses of exploitation, and the bosses accused the workers of charging too high prices and being ignorant of current affairs.

This vicious cycle continues, and the person who benefits from this is always the e-commerce platform.

However, the new model is not bad, everything has pros and cons.

The old model allowed many middlemen to make huge profits. In the early days of reform and opening up, these people were called second-way dealers, that is, speculators. Many established rich people made their first fortune in this business.

Over time, the channel relationship will become a ‘hereditary system’.

The relationship between middlemen and factories has become a three-generation system, which has resulted in many people being unable to access this industry.

Large middlemen control the channels of dozens or even hundreds of factories and monopolize the entire industry.

This is the case in many developed countries in the West. Large wholesale supermarkets and certain sales companies are all developed based on these.

In fact, this model is relatively more stable. Aba and Aba also began to transform later and followed their example to start an offline business.

A successful entrepreneur cannot rely on putting on a show in front of the screen, brainwashing the people at the bottom, and putting money into his own pocket. People's livelihood, employment, and the country's future development should also be taken into consideration. If you are like locusts and only extract money, and then continue to do so in another place, you will face attacks from the state machinery and people's scolding.

Many bosses talk loudly on the news about how much they have contributed to society, and then release some donation figures. The twists and turns in this can only fool fools.

Chen Xi has also watched some short plays, in which the protagonist either speculates in stocks or engages in e-commerce after rebirth. All they were thinking about was how to put the money into their pockets, and the audience was watching with excitement, as if they had never seen money before.

Maybe everyone has different ideas. Those short dramas did not make him feel very happy, because the increase in the number on the bank card did not give him any sense of accomplishment. He just felt that if this kind of protagonist were put into reality, the final outcome would definitely be to make money and run abroad. In other words, the protagonists are just salted fish who have become rich.

This kind of person is far from what he thinks is an outstanding entrepreneur.

“Hey, these people really know how to steer the ship.” Lu Chengxian sighed.

"How do you say this?" Chen Xi asked after pulling the two of them out of the crowd.

“Actually, our bosses and merchants in Wushang have already held meetings before, and some of them said they would work together to fight against e-commerce...”

“Oh, isn’t this very good? Is it normal? Some people are mothers if they have breasts. Although there are many bosses in Wushang, there are also big bosses and small bosses. Feng Yun and others can divide you with just a few tricks. Who wants to be a small boss for the rest of his life? "

“Yes, those little bosses I have always felt that we people have been occupying resources all year round. They used to eat soup from behind our butts, and now they want to make a comeback when they see the opportunity.”

“They are not the only e-commerce platform, but Feng. Yun Zaijiang is just more influential. You can cooperate with others, but don’t adopt this model. Once you are controlled by the platform, you will become a chicken laying eggs for others, turning from active to passive.” >

"Then what should we do? Now it seems that it is the general trend."

"Don't worry, Feng Yun has not reached out to foreign countries, and capitalists in other countries will not let him touch their cakes. Yes. I am now the vice president of the Youth Returned Association. Look at the man on the stage. He can cooperate with Feng Yun. Why can't I cooperate with your Zhijiang bosses? "

"What do you want to do? But the volume of foreign trade orders is far less than that of domestic ones."

"Don't worry yet. , It can't be done now, I need to integrate some resources..." Chen Xi patted the two of them on the shoulders.

The rise of Feng Yun’s e-commerce empire is now unstoppable.

We can only develop secretly first, target overseas markets, and wait for the critical moment to attack.

It is difficult to compete with them using normal business methods alone. The only way to do this is from a policy perspective.

This still needs an opportunity, there is no hurry.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here." Chen Xi pointed at the door, regardless of the two people behind him who were still giving passionate speeches.

"Why don't we continue to listen to what they have to say?" Lu Chengxian caught up and asked.

"What's so nice? Listen to them bragging about how to fake it? Send new products that haven't been developed abroad to imitate. Who will innovate in the future? Look at all those foreign businessmen who are blocked out. , I’m just afraid that the family’s ugliness will be publicized..." Chen Xi replied angrily.

"But...this is the characteristic of our Wushang..." Lu Tengyang hesitated.

When the locals said this when they were chatting, they actually didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, they all had pride on their faces, comparing who had the best imitation ability. But if you talk about this with outsiders, they still look a little confused.

Because Zhijiang and Fujian provinces are now regarded as holy places for counterfeiting by businessmen from other provinces, it doesn’t sound good to say it out loud.

Especially after Feng Yun pushed e-commerce to the top in his previous life, Zhijiang Factory's reputation for counterfeiting has not been washed away for several years.

At that time, Fujian Province was famous for imitation shoes and clothes, while Zhijiang could imitate everything.

Although counterfeiting and imitation is not a very glorious thing, it is a process that developing countries will go through. However, as time goes by, the domestic manufacturing industry continues to grow. If you continue to follow the imitation route, that is not a good thing.

Actually, Chen Xi doesn’t have any other opinions about Lao Feng.

Many people don't know that business people don't actually like him very much.

Because they will not worship him like some people do. Businessmen can see clearly and everyone knows what you are thinking.

This is just like children from rich families actually see things more clearly than children from poor families. Because I have been exposed to a lot of things since I was a child, I watched my parents deal with various crises in the business world with ease. However, in TV and novels, the rich second generation are always portrayed as fools, so as to win the favor of the poor. Over time, some people feel that the second generation of rich people are fools and that they are the son of the plane.

However, Lao Feng still has many advantages in being able to make his company so big. For example, he is bold and dares to change the rules. This is something that many people want to do but dare not do. He is not content with the status quo and is a very hard-working person.

There is a saying that successful people must have certain spirits and characteristics that ordinary people do not possess.

However, his mouth is a bit naughty, and he always comes up with some 'reasons' to make people give up on refutation. Even the leaders can't stand this.

Since Feng Yun's people entered the Trade City, the traffic outside has returned to normal.

The three of them got in the car and went straight to the material factory.

The current 3D printing technology is not mature, and there are only a handful of materials on the market.

Because few people buy them, many people don’t make these products. However, there are still many OEMs for big brands in China.

3D printing materials are divided into many types, such as plastics, metals, ceramics, composite materials, etc.

The metal materials here have basically not been popularized in the outside market because the technology and effects are not ideal.

Among plastic materials, ABS, PLA, PETG, etc. are widely used due to their good printing performance and cost-effectiveness.

Then there is a small amount of composite materials, which are also used more frequently.

3D printers are widely used, but in this era, especially in Asia, they are mostly used in DIY toys.

In countries such as Europe and the United States, it is used in model verification and experiments in education, as well as in construction engineering.

In more than ten years, many medical devices and implants will also use 3D printing technology, such as the manufacture of prostheses, hearing aids, teeth, etc.

Then there are industrial manufacturing, aerospace and defense industries.

The brands of materials on the market are relatively mixed now. There are many products labeled as 3DSystems, Stratasys, and MakerBot in Wushang.

These are all big brands of foreign companies.

But in fact, the materials are all the same and are domestically produced. He went directly to the factory to get the goods, but the price was less than half of what he paid outside, which made Chen Xi place a heavy price.

The boss was acquainted with the suppliers who sold engineering materials last time, and Chen Xi got a better discount through the introduction.

There are not many companies in China that use these materials. These goods are hoarded in the warehouse because the boss wants to make extra money, and he is worried that he will not be able to sell them.

"Boss, I want to ask you something."

"You tell me."

After discussing business, several people sat in the office drinking tea.

"Mr. Feng came to Wushang today. So many bosses have gone, why are you still here?" Chen Xi took a sip of tea.

"I don't get along with him. He said it was his fault. I mainly do order production for foreign companies, and not many people in China use these materials. If I sell it on that platform, I have to spend money. Make money for advertising, and use any account to gain rankings. "The boss's Mandarin is not very standard, and there are a few local dialects mixed in.

There are many dialects in Wushang, it is said that there are eighteen kinds, known as Wushang eighteen tunes. So much so that the saying "different across streams" has emerged, that is, dialects will be significantly different just across a stream.

Lu Chengxian and Lu Tengyang are from Dongyang, and their dialects are different from the boss's. They usually communicate in Mandarin, although they can understand most of each other's words.

“Have you ever thought about selling these products overseas through another channel?”

"To tell you the truth, although I have signed agreements with those foreign companies, I also want to make a little fortune privately. No, you know the materials just now. These materials can only be sold privately, and they cannot be posted on other websites. If the brand is leaked overseas and discovered...my previous orders will be gone..."

The boss smiled awkwardly, and his meaning was clearly expressed.

Chen Xi proposed to him the joint venture to build a factory in Xinlu and ensured that the goods would only be circulated domestically.

The boss smiled and did not refuse directly.

It was the first time we cooperated, and he didn’t know what kind of person Chen Xi was yet, so he didn’t agree.

"Let me tell you something. 3D printing is mainly composed of equipment, software, and materials. All of them are indispensable. So far, no company has completed these three aspects independently. Especially in terms of materials, it is very difficult. Important. Let me give you an example. The technology of many research projects in our country is actually not worse than that of foreign countries, but the materials required for the equipment are not up to standard. Now, the beautiful country is planning to launch a material gene project...what is it called M... "The boss's English is not very good, so he couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time.

"Materials Genome Initiative, or MGI for short." Chen Xi added for him.

“Well, anyway, it is calling for greater cooperation between the government, schools and enterprises. The government has invested a lot of money in it, and several companies I work for are also involved. This means that there may be something happening later. A product that transcends the times..."

The boss poured another cup of tea for several people.

This plan was put forward by Dali after the information technology revolution, fully recognizing the important role of material innovation in technological progress and industrial development, and under the strategic background of reviving the manufacturing industry.

MGI is mainly composed of three major platforms: computing tool platform, experimental tool platform and digital data (database and informatics) platform.

They want to achieve the purpose of technology sharing through team collaboration at various stages in the new material development cycle. The goal is to halve the development cycle of new materials and reduce the cost to a fraction of the existing cost.

Since Dali started this plan, our country has also implemented the same plan, but the research direction is slightly different.

“It will take several years to research new materials.”

“You can’t say for sure. You see, new technologies are emerging one after another, and everything is possible.” The boss said to Chen Xi blinked.

Chen Xi smiled.

The boss must have heard something from those companies. It was probably that there had been considerable progress in materials research.
