"Okay, let's go. Go in for a meeting and see if there are any available talents among these bosses." The man waved his hand and refused to ask the young man to help him get his briefcase.
"Leader, what is there to do here? It seems to have nothing to do with our project." As soon as the young man finished speaking, he felt a coldness coming from him, which made him shut up.
In the venue, Chen Xi found his own special place and began to look around.
Today he came to the meeting in the name of studying abroad, that is, he came to replace A Lin.
Study Abroad is now also a well-known enterprise in China, and it is normal to have a place in it.
There were many old faces from previous lives around, as well as entrepreneurs he didn't know.
To say that they are here for a meeting, it is better to say that these bosses are here to meet and promote relationships.
Everyone shook hands with each other and started exchanging business information.
However, they can be considered classmates and friends. Take Chen Yifeng as an example. When he went to school in Huajing, many big bosses of companies were his classmates. Now that we are getting along well, and since we are classmates, there are naturally a lot of people coming to say hello.
On the other hand, Feng Yun had very few people communicating with him.
Feng Yun's base camp is in Wulin, and e-commerce affects many industries. Some bosses are unable to make much money because of Aba Aba. They have a lot of complaints in their hearts. How can they take the initiative to deal with him?
However, Feng Yun didn't care. He walked to his seat and closed his eyes, pretending to rest.
"Haha, I see you again." While Chen Xi was still observing, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the left.
He looked at the sign in front of him and it read - Liang Zhang.
Suddenly I remembered, this is the boss of Journey.com.
Now that Journey.com is doing well and has become a relatively powerful Internet company in China, it is naturally qualified to participate in this conference.
"Your father and I are good friends, and your father is still a shareholder of our company." Liang Zhang shook hands with Chen Xi.
"Hello, Mr. Liang."
"Haha, it's really like a tiger father with no dog son. He is sitting in a meeting with us entrepreneurs at a young age."
Liang Zhang praised Chen Xi, and the two started chatting.
In fact, Trip.com is a very profitable platform. It has made a lot of money in recent years by cooperating with major hotels and airlines and using middlemen to earn price differences.
There are many users in the country, and if each person draws a little money, it adds up to a huge number every year.
After launching financial lending, Trip.com’s revenue increased dramatically.
But this good thing ceased to exist after a few years. More and more travel platforms emerged to break its monopoly, and low hotel and air ticket prices continued to impact the business of Trip.com.
Although it will still be the leading domestic travel platform in the future, its revenue has been greatly reduced, and it has no choice but to use some small and non-compliant means to make money from users.
"When you come back from abroad, do you have any suggestions for our platform?"
"No, domestic Internet companies are currently taking the lending route, and there will be no change in the next ten years. If Journey.com wants to go further, it still needs to work on the user experience."
"Oh? Isn't the experience good now?"
"I have also used Trip.com, and it was pretty good at the beginning. That is, when the platform was just established a few years ago, there were probably investors investing, and they could burn a lot of money. After the platform had been operating for a period of time, I wanted to make a profit, so When you click to book a ticket, a lot of options will appear below, which means adding money to the user for some useless special services, such as insurance. , fast refund, etc. This fast refund can be done without spending money, but the platform makes users pay more just to collect a few extra bucks. This makes the experience poor, and users will have opinions on the platform. One company is the only one, and users have no choice. What if several travel platforms similar to Trip.com appear one day? ”
"What you said makes sense, but there is actually nothing you can do about it. Platform operations require funds, and as the number of employees in a company increases, more money is needed. Reducing the user experience can increase the company's revenue. I think so. Give up the small and choose the big.”
What both of them said actually makes sense. One is for the company's current survival, and the other is for future considerations.
After chatting on this topic for a while, Liang Zhang said again: "It seems that you disagree with the practice of domestic Internet lending. There is nothing that can be done about it. The current platform is taking the route of increasing the number of users, that is, Seize the traffic. If you have more users, you can make a profit for the platform. Although not everyone will use it for profit, advertising and financial lending, as the user base increases, this brainless way of making money will be very effective. The user experience you mentioned can be said to be in the face of the huge benefits of the platform. It's not worth mentioning.
In fact, most of the platform's lending funds come from banks, followed by institutions and some enterprises. If you have been abroad for a long time, you may not know much about the domestic situation. Domestic personal savings are richer than those abroad. Foreigners are keen on excessive consumption, but Chinese people are not. Banks have sufficient funds and need to be circulated, but we actually take ordinary people's money and lend it to ordinary people to achieve capital circulation..."
"Hahaha, Mr. Liang, you are talking nonsense again to deceive young people. You are talking about left hand and right hand. You are just trying to make money." Just as the two were chatting heatedly, a middle-aged man suddenly sat down on Chen Xi's right.
Having seen the name tag on the table before, Chen Xi naturally knew who the person next to him was. That is, the boss of Minfu Sanquan - Zhong Liangliang.
His son Zhong Shu had previously competed with Chen Xi for a position in the Overseas Returnees Association.
In his previous life, Chen Xi also cooperated with Minfu Sanquan due to project reasons and was considered one of his business partners.
However, although this person has a large business, he is not optimistic about Internet companies.
His theory of making money is that as long as he masters the necessities that people use in daily life, it is much better than lending money or building a platform.
This is similar to Li Kacheng, which means controlling resources.
"Mr. Zhong, why are you still the same? Times are changing. Sometimes if you change your mind a little, you might make more money. Think about it, your bottled water is definitely a good project if it is linked to finance. ." Liang Zhang said angrily.
This sentence made Chen Xi laugh.
In the previous life of his company, he really got those water and financial products together, but this project was created by those shareholders, which was linked to a certain park loan.
"Look at what you said, even the young people laughed. Hahaha, water energy and lending go together, you are really imaginative." Zhong Liangliang laughed, not understanding the secret at all.
Chen Xi really wanted to say that these two could really work together. There was nothing in China that couldn't be linked to lending, and everything was possible.
The other side of the venue.
"Mr. Chen, what are you looking for? Are you looking for a big leader?" The Xu family also came to attend the conference today. He looked at Chen Yifeng with a smile.
The implication is, do you want to express yourself in front of big leaders?
"Nothing, I just wanted to see how many entrepreneurs came today." Naturally, Chen Yifeng would not say that he was actually looking for his son.
"What's so interesting here? Everyone here today is capable. Your old rival Shi Danai is also here. I just said hello to him." The Xu family smiled.
He was still upset about Chen Yifeng's previous rejection of the marriage between the two families.
The Xu family felt that Chen Yifeng was too arrogant. After all, he was a well-known real estate boss in the country, but he still looked down on him.
"Oh, is he here too? What is he here for? Is he selling fake medicines? Mr. Xu, you'd better play less with this guy. All the products he makes are deceptive. I'm afraid you'll stay with him for too long. , the houses built are all inferior products... Nowadays, real estate developers are popular What the hell...yes, an unfinished house...I heard that they used substandard building materials when they built it. When it was about to be delivered, they said they had no funds to build it. Naturally, the buyers couldn't find the problems inside... …”
"..."
Chen Yifeng's few words left the Xu family completely speechless.
At this time, most of the people who came to attend the meeting were seated, and the leader on the stage also began to speak: "Today, we are gathered together at the my country Future Development Conference to jointly look forward to and discuss a new chapter in our country's economic development. In the past few years, our country has entered a stage of rapid development at an alarming rate, which is not only reflected in the continued growth of GDP, but also in the optimization and upgrading of our economic structure and the vigorous development of emerging industries.
The e-commerce industry, as the pioneer of our economic transformation, has grown from its initial budding state into a towering tree, profoundly changing people's consumption habits and lifestyles. From cities to villages, the convenience and vitality brought by e-commerce are felt in every corner. At the same time, the rise of financial technology has given wings to the traditional financial industry, making capital flows more efficient and financial services more popular, providing strong support for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
However, in the face of such achievements, we cannot be complacent in the slightest. Although Western countries still maintain their traditional economic model, their profound accumulation in technological innovation and basic research cannot be ignored. In today's globalized world, we must not only see our own advantages, but also be clearly aware of our shortcomings...
Therefore, I am convening everyone today to discuss the future development direction of the country’s economic industry with the help of your wisdom and experience. How to further promote industrial upgrading and cultivate new economic growth points on the basis of maintaining the current development momentum? How to strengthen technological innovation and enhance the overall competitiveness of the industrial chain? How can we find the unique positioning of our economy in the global economic landscape and achieve a higher level of openness and cooperation..."
Feng Yun's face was filled with joy as he was nominated by leaders in the e-commerce industry. He raised his head and looked at the people around him, like a proud little rooster.
Many industrial bosses present were very unconvinced. They felt that industrial power was a truth that remained unchanged for centuries, and e-commerce was nothing more than a clever act. In other words, it was just online sales.
After the leader finished speaking, everyone began to speak in the order they had arranged.
These entrepreneurs are also thieves. They don’t say anything useful, they only praise the current prosperity.
The leaders on the stage had long expected this to happen, and their emotions were very calm. But they know that those who can stand out from ordinary people are those who refuse to admit defeat. Every entrepreneur has a different personality, some are low-key and some are high-profile.
Others are companies that have grown bigger and don’t even pay attention to their leaders.
With so many bosses at the venue, there will definitely be a few thorns in the side who will tell the truth.
The purpose of holding such a meeting today is actually to let people stand up and say something real. Otherwise, if everyone is holding back, then there will be no point in holding this meeting.
Soon, just as the leader thought, several entrepreneurs began to take the lead in raising some problems encountered in the current development.
Most people think that e-commerce and Internet finance are like industry troublemakers, bringing chaos to many industries.
The leaders on the stage didn't say anything after hearing this. The current domestic situation is very good, and these are the benefits brought by these industries. If you want to cancel e-commerce and Internet finance, wouldn't you be breaking your own arms?
Moreover, when he just spoke, the leader was the first to praise e-commerce. If he says anything more now, it will be a slap in the face.
At this time, it was Shi Danai's turn to speak. He cleared his throat: "I think that the country's population base is now very large, and hospitals in many places cannot meet the needs of patients. The number of pharmacies should be increased to allow everyone to speak." You can buy medicines everywhere. The West has been using Western medicines to rob a lot of money from our market for so many years. This is not a good thing. I think the production of Chinese patent medicines should be increased
However, the current popularity of Chinese patent medicines is far from enough, and many people’s understanding of Chinese patent medicines is limited to some traditional pills and tablets. Therefore, I strongly suggest that we should vigorously promote the modernization and popularization of Chinese patent medicines.
We should strengthen the research, development and innovation of Chinese patent medicines and use modern scientific and technological means to improve the quality and efficacy of Chinese patent medicines. Through scientific research and clinical trials, more effective and safer proprietary Chinese medicine formulas can be screened out and brought to the market.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At the same time, we can also develop some new dosage forms of Chinese patent medicines, such as oral liquids, granules, topical patches, etc., to meet the needs of different patients.
The second is to strengthen the publicity and promotion of Chinese patent medicines and improve the public's awareness and trust in Chinese patent medicines. This can be achieved through various forms of promotional events, lectures and seminars. We can also cooperate with medical institutions to include Chinese patent medicines in the medical insurance catalog to reduce patients' medication costs, thereby further promoting the popularization of Chinese patent medicines.
In addition, I also invented different Chinese medicine products, such as grinding Chinese herbal medicine into powder to make bracelets. Different Chinese herbal medicines are suitable for different people..."
After Shi Danai finished speaking, all the entrepreneurs sneered in their hearts.
The earliest large-scale promotion of this proprietary Chinese medicine was actually the island country next door, but now the island countries themselves are gradually no longer using it, and you still come to bring this up.
Many people don't believe in Chinese patent medicines, even Chen Xi doesn't believe it. He has always felt that most Chinese patent medicines are IQ taxes.
Why do I say this? It’s because many Chinese patent medicines are marketed as mild, but in fact they don’t have much effect. Some even add Western medicine ingredients. So what exactly is this medicine? It seems a bit nondescript no matter how you look at it.
Many medicines in Chinese patent medicines have the same medicinal properties. You never know how many of the same ingredients you have taken. Common medicinal materials such as skullcap, licorice, and licorice generally clear away heat and detoxify.
The well-known Niuhuang Detoxification Tablets already contain these. But when you buy medicine, the doctor will recommend a lot of similar medicines to you, saying that the results will be faster if you take them in combination. Most hospitals will prescribe you Western medicine for treatment and Chinese patent medicine for conditioning, but in fact...
As far as serious illnesses are concerned, Chinese patent medicines seem to have no effect. As for minor illnesses, there are no symptoms after taking them. They feel almost like health care products, and they are just for money.
However, this is just Chen Xi's personal opinion. It is not clear whether Chinese patent medicine is practical.
"It's happening again. If you change the soup without changing the medicine, isn't it the same thing as his brain?" Chen Yifeng shook his head desperately after hearing this.
He never understood how such a liar could make so much money.
However, after Shi Danai spoke, the leaders on the stage all looked at each other and started communicating in unison.
There were also many pharmaceutical company bosses present, most of whom were engaged in Chinese patent medicines. After hearing Shi Danai's words, they all applauded as if they had been beaten to death.
"It's ridiculous, fifty yuan of Western medicine can cure the disease, but I have to buy a bunch of more than twenty yuan of Chinese patent medicine to take it. It can't be cured, so I have to pay the IQ tax." Chen Xi couldn't help but whisper. Finished sentence.
"You studied abroad, so naturally you don't like Chinese medicine. I don't know whether this medicine is effective, but I won't choose to take it, hahaha." Zhong Liangliang snickered at the side.
"I don't know whether Chinese patent medicines are effective. Anyway, as far as I have lived for so long, I feel that all the Chinese patent medicines I have taken are useless." Chen Xi snorted.
"Keep your voice down. If others hear you, you will offend the pharmaceutical company bosses." Liang Zhang reminded.
Indeed, the energy behind these pharmaceutical company bosses is huge, and if you are not careful, they may use their resources to attack you.
"Yeah, but I think the leaders' eyes seem to be very fiery." Chen Xi nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Liang Zhang pinched him.
As the son of a good friend, Liang Zhang still didn't want this young man to suffer bad luck.
Ordinary people may think that these big bosses are awesome and they are the group standing at the top of the pyramid. In fact, it is not. At best, it is just an ordinary small brick for building a building, not even a heavy wall.
You know, even if a piece of the heavy wall is knocked down, the building will not collapse. If there are only a few business owners like them, the impact on the entire economy will not be great.
Not long after Shi Danai finished speaking, it was the Xu family's turn to speak.
He straightened his back confidently, picked up the microphone and said: "The real estate industry in China is booming now. House prices have increased from a few hundred to a thousand yuan per square meter to tens of thousands of yuan now. I used to work in real estate. Back then, there weren't actually that many people in the industry. Now... everyone has smelled the money and are rushing to buy houses. Real estate. Many people who were originally engaged in factories or finance, and even those who knew nothing about real estate, have become involved. Mr. Chen just told me that there are many unfinished properties in this forest... "As the Xu family spoke, they glanced at Chen Yifeng next to him. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, making Chen Yifeng feel uneasy for a moment.
You are paralyzed, you just say things when you say something, why do you still need to bring me with you?
Chen Yifeng's palms were covered in sweat at this time, and he could only respond to everyone with a smile.
The Xu family raised the corner of his mouth and continued: "I think unfinished houses are a shame for our real estate industry, because if the house is unfinished, the people who bought the house will lose everything. Our Hengxiao Group will never have unfinished houses. Yes, our money belongs to the common people. Now many developers have gone to one. First-tier cities have acquired land for development because they think they can make money quickly. However, in second-tier, third-tier and fourth-tier cities, there are far from enough houses. So how should these housing problems be solved? Hengxiao Group expects to expand its business in small and medium-sized cities across the country within five years. Develop and build affordable commercial housing..."
The Xu family is the Xu family after all, and they know how to grasp people's hearts. His beautiful words are not only loved by the leaders, but also reach the hearts of the majority of tenants.
He knows how to flatter the leader, not even flatter him.
How much will it cost to build houses all over the country?
Even if you want to build a tomorrow’s square, I’ll be asked to help with the money.
It’s just bragging without drafting!
Chen Yifeng scolded the man who was speaking in his heart.
"Oh, your dad has been named, this Xu family hehehe." Liang Zhang covered his mouth and snickered on his seat, while Chen Xi had black lines all over his forehead.
After the Xu family finished speaking, it was Chen Yifeng's turn.
"Those present today are all CEOs of enterprises in various industries. Since the reform and opening up, more and more people have entered the business industry. Well... I entered the sea relatively early, and some old friends at the venue also know me. But I don’t always like to appear on camera like some people. The reason is that I feel that doing business is like growing crops, which needs to be cultivated step by step.
However, some companies are now taking the route of undermining their own growth. What I have always emphasized is how much money you have, how much money you have to do. I have never taken out a loan since I started my business. This is where I think I am better than others. What makes us bosses different from ordinary people is that we have a spirit of constant struggle... I am in the machine tool business. This industry may not sound as glamorous as the Internet, but it is the heart of industry and indispensable to the real economy. part of. Machine tools require continuous research and development and accumulation, and every technological breakthrough is the result of the hard work of countless people.
In this fast-paced society, new business models and new technologies emerge every day, which is dazzling. But I always believe that when running a business, you cannot always think about overtaking in corners, and you cannot blindly pursue speed and scale. .
Industries such as the Internet have indeed brought great convenience to our lives and promoted economic development. But what I worry about is that too much capital and attention pouring into these industries will cause the real economy to be ignored, and will cause those industries that really need time and energy to be polished to be marginalized... Now I have begun to involve the financial industry, many Everyone knows it too. Nowadays, there are many irregular online loan platforms on the Internet, which has brought chaos to the entire industry. I am not a platform myself, I provide funds for major companies and platforms..." Chen Yifeng took the microphone and started reading the manuscript.
To be honest, he was really not suitable to speak in front of the camera. Sweat broke out on his forehead before he said a few words.
Even though Chen Yifeng is always serious and fearless, people always have shortcomings. Some entrepreneurs are not as big in business as him, but they can talk freely in front of the camera.
"Haha, he has never taken out a loan, but I heard that he gets all the money for business from his wife's family. Isn't this just trying to make a fool of himself?"
"He himself looks down on people who take out loans to start a business, and yet he takes money to lend money to others. It's really inconsistent between what he says and what he says."
"Looking down on the Internet, it's because he doesn't have the ability to do it. If you can't eat grapes here, it means sour grapes. What industry has nothing to do with the Internet now? Does lending have nothing to do with the Internet?"
"That's right, this is a domestic future development conference, not a show-off conference. What we say is true. Who among the people present doesn't know the details of the other party?"
"No matter what crops you grow, or how you overtake others, as long as you can get the money, it's a good path."
"I think his machine tool business is not profitable, so now he comes to lend money. Times are changing, and it will not work if you are too conservative."
Chen Yifeng thinks he is a good talker, but in fact he offends people every time he opens his mouth.
This speech immediately caused a discussion among the people. (End of chapter)
