"It seems that many people have opinions on Lao Chen's words." Liang Zhang sighed.
"There's nothing we can do, it's just the general trend." Chen Xi shrugged.
"Boy Chen, I see you didn't even bring a piece of paper. Aren't you going to go up and say a few words? I still remember your last speech. Leaders like to listen to the words of young people like you. Those of us The old guy would do Tai Chi there, and what he said was vague and vague. "Zhong Liangliang on the side looked curiously at the bare table in front of Chen Xi.
"It depends on the situation. Someone has to take the lead in saying something unpleasant, otherwise I wouldn't dare to speak." Chen Xi glanced at Feng Yun in the distance.
"You guys are really smarter than me. You want to attract people's firepower first, right? Hahaha." How could an old man like Zhong Liangliang not know what Chen Xi was thinking.
"No, no, Lao Chen has just absorbed a wave of firepower, hehe." Chen Xi smiled.
"You two, father and son, are really interesting. How can any son call his father that way?" Zhong Liangliang didn't know anything about their family.
"We're having a meeting today. It's all about this boss and that boss. It doesn't seem right to call him Mr. Chen." Chen Xi laughed.
After Chen Yifeng made such an incident, some entrepreneurs did not dare to speak and hid all the manuscripts they had prepared. They were not stupid and did not want to offend people in other industries.
In fact, the leaders did not really agree with Chen Yifeng's speech just now.
Development requires economic income, and the Internet is undoubtedly a great tool for making money. Everything has its pros and cons. It’s best to realize these advantages as soon as possible. As for the disadvantages, let’s leave it to future generations to solve.
The next person is a CEO of an IT company: "The speeches made by several colleagues just now were extremely brilliant and inspired me deeply. But here, I would like to put forward a point of view that may be a bit unpalatable, but is crucial. We have always They are all learning from other countries and crossing the river by feeling the stones. This strategy has really helped in the past. However, with the continuous development of the domestic economy and the profound changes in the social structure, we have to face the reality that when we develop to a certain extent, we need to rely more on ourselves to explore what is suitable for us. The development path of our national conditions
We have introduced technology, management models and even economic theories from the West, which undoubtedly accelerated our modernization process. But as the ancients said, ‘Oranges grow as tangerines in Huainan, and oranges grow in northern Huaibei as tangerines.’ Each country’s historical background, cultural traditions, and social structure are unique. Therefore, when we stand at a new historical starting point and face a more complex and changeable domestic and international environment, simply copying the experience of other countries is no longer enough to support our long-term development...
There are many Internet companies now, more than in most countries. Then we will give full play to our advantages, engage in big data analysis, and engage in artificial intelligence..."
The boss here looked confused.
They all know this big data analysis, but this artificial intelligence seems a bit unrealistic.
In fact, artificial intelligence was proposed a long time ago.
Many universities have been studying this subject.
But for most people, artificial intelligence is just something from science fiction movies.
Although Chen Xi was reborn, he also understood it.
Today's artificial intelligence is nothing more than a hyped concept from the mouth of this boss.
In the next many years, there will actually be many products on the market under the banner of AI, such as smart robots, smart watches, etc., but most of them have become toys that parents buy to accompany their children.
Currently doing this stuff in China is actually used to make money in the stock market. Whatever you do with AI, in the end it’s probably just about pushing ads.
Chen Xi shook his head after hearing this.
"Boy Chen, look, who is speaking now." Just as Chen Xi was thinking about the problem, Zhong Liangliang reminded him.
Chen Xi turned around and saw that this was Feng Yun.
At this time, Feng Yun also looked towards him and winked at him.
"Oh, I'm here for a meeting today. It's completely different from Wulin. The sky is gray everywhere. This makes me very surprised and excited. I've never been so excited." Feng Yun's words made all the entrepreneurs excited. He looked confused, and even the leader on the stage didn't know what he wanted to express. Within a few seconds, Feng Yun said again: "Why am I so excited? That's because we always emphasized the issues of water, air, and food safety in the past, but no one ever paid attention to it. Because there are some special people, they They have their own special water and special food. This time the smog outside has no way of specializing the air. I believe that the air in our respiratory tract is the same as that of those special people.”
As soon as these words came out, the leaders on the stage immediately turned gloomy.
"He really dares to say it."
"It's like this every time. If you have to cause a big one, you will be in trouble sooner or later."
"It's just for the limelight."
The other entrepreneurs had different expressions on their faces, but most of them seemed to be a little gloating about their misfortune, and even laughed deliberately to add fuel to the fire.
Feng Yun quickly observed everyone's expressions and said: "Haha, I just made a little joke. What I actually want to say is that the current food safety issues cannot be ignored. Small workshops have illegally produced food, and this has been the case for so many years. There are endless things to do. From raw material procurement to safe production to sales, everything is actually under control. There are problems with the intensity. In order to solve our daily health problems, Aba Aba Group has to do a big thing, which is to launch rural e-commerce. In addition, we will also take part in it. Daily necessities are sold to rural areas to achieve mutual benefit..."
"Haha, I knew he wanted to promote his own products." A boss who was familiar with Feng Yun's tricks had already guessed this.
Every time Feng Yun speaks sharply in front of the media, he must first belittle and then promote his own solutions. This is one of his marketing methods.
"You said that every time he says so many things that shouldn't be said, isn't the leader angry?"
"When you become a big brother in the industry, you can say the same thing. Now development depends on e-commerce. You can tolerate it if you can..."
The two bosses on Chen Xi's left and right also started discussing.
"Boy Chen, what do you think?" Zhong Liangliang asked.
"I don't have any opinion. In fact, no matter what you say, the leaders will not do anything to you, but the prerequisite is that you are useful to them. If it is not useful, you will talk a lot, and it will definitely be unlucky."< br>
"Haha, I didn't expect you to see things quite clearly at such a young age." Zhong Liangliang joked.
"Boy Chen, I advise you not to imitate him. Just say something in a vague way. People who can understand will understand. People who can't understand will understand no matter how much you explain to them..." Liang Zhang reminded me again meaningfully.
Chen Xi nodded, but he was thinking about one thing.
No, what Feng Yun said in his previous life was not at this meeting, and rural e-commerce was not proposed at this time.
He originally thought that Feng Yun was going to say something else, but unexpectedly it was changed to this.
"It's your turn. If you don't want to say it, just skip it." As I was thinking about it, Liang Zhang's voice came to my ears again.
Chen Xi looked around, and in the shocked eyes of the two people on the left and right, he picked up the microphone and said: "Fourteen years ago was an important year. Our economy experienced a major historic turn. From the late 1980s to From the coastal economic development strategy to the foreign exchange reform, in just a few years we have completely embarked on the path of an export-oriented economy. A year ago, exports reached trillions each year. Exports drove about 5% of the economy and contributed about 45%, while investment's contribution to economic growth dropped to 35%. It can be seen that exports have already dropped to 35%. It has replaced investment and become the number one driving force for our economic growth
However, the rapid expansion of external demand has an impact, that is, the total supply and demand in the domestic market have reversed. Many years ago, in response to the failure of price breakthroughs, we abandoned domestic demand in rural areas. Later reforms gave up the city's domestic demand. Although our total demand is still growing, the growth rate has been declining year after year. During the economic overheating in the early 1990s, the annual growth rate of fixed asset investment reached nearly 40%. This, coupled with the external demand brought by the huge overseas market, promoted the rapid expansion of our production capacity. The growth rate of production capacity was far greater than the growth rate of domestic demand. In fact, many economists at that time discovered that the shortage characteristics of our economy were gradually disappearing, and the characteristics of a buyer's market were gradually emerging.
In other words, we have just bid farewell to the era of material shortages and immediately entered the era of overcapacity. Short supply suddenly turns into oversupply. The reversal of total supply and demand will cause structural conflicts, intensify market competition, and make business operations more and more difficult.
Normally, changes in supply and demand will drive changes in economic structure and economic systems. However, since we are rapidly expanding in the international market, a large number of products are sold overseas. This not only offsets the contradiction between domestic supply and demand, but also allows production capacity to continue to expand at an extremely fast rate.
International capital and multinational groups are in the process of transforming into financial capital. Since the disintegration of the Bretton Woods system, beautiful coins are no longer linked to gold and have begun to adopt monetary and financial policies with floating exchange rates. European and American countries began to maintain actual consumption by increasing the net capital mobility rate, and industries were transferred to developing countries, but the value created by capital continued to flow back to developed countries.
In order to obtain more capital gains, developed countries rely on power to incorporate developing countries into the core-semi-periphery-periphery structure, which is the world system theory. (The core area is the most developed, industrialized and wealthy countries. The semi-peripheral area is the moderately wealthy and economically diverse countries. The periphery area is the country based on a narrow economic base such as agriculture and mining.) Developed countries are trying their best to use Market liberalization and financial liberalization deceive developing countries, so that international capital and multinational groups can flow into developing countries without restrictions and seize strategic resources.
However, they usually only pursue short-term interests and will not occupy the property for too long. They will slip away after extracting enough profits or encountering economic fluctuations. Under this model, the degree of exploitation of developing countries by developed countries far exceeds the level of the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, the international society had undergone tremendous changes, but our political and economic environment was quite stable, and industrial capital was expanding rapidly and becoming more and more open. This became the best place for international capital transfer.
The proportion of general trade in total trade can reflect the level of a country's industrial structure. The higher the value, the stronger the added value, innovation capabilities and competitiveness of the product. According to the smile curve theory, R&D and sales have the highest added value, while processing and manufacturing have the lowest added value. The industries transferred out by multinational groups are basically the lowest-end assembly and processing, and they have all high value-added things in their own hands. They responded to the call of developing countries and rushed to invest and build factories. The wages of workers were many times cheaper than in their own countries, and there was no need to worry about environmental pollution. In the end, the products and profits were shipped back to developed countries. Developing countries use high interest rates and low currency values to attract Western financial capital, and they are afraid that foreign capital will not come. We even offer special preferential treatment to attract them.
Naturally, there are benefits to doing this. We have achieved rapid development and our total export volume has also grown rapidly. However, this growth is unstable. In some years, the proportion of general trade exports has begun to decline, while the general trade exports of foreign-funded enterprises have increased significantly. This means that state capital gradually controls our high value-added industries and exports.
But these are nothing, they are just the only way for developing countries. A book on Asian development trends once said that the goal of industrialization is to learn advanced technologies and form independent innovation capabilities. This is similar to taking a loan to go to college abroad, hahaha. In fact, in developing countries, the key to judging whether debt, deficit and inflation are reasonable is whether the country has achieved technological progress. It doesn't matter if it engages in low value-added assembly and processing, it doesn't matter if Lu Run is taken away by international capital, what matters is technological upgrading. No matter what method is used, whether it is independent research and development, spending money to buy it, or using the market to exchange technology, the developed countries in the past also came step by step from low-end manufacturing, relying on technological progress and capital accumulation. .
I saw many people on the Internet saying that people cannot be educated and imported. But they have never thought that using import substitution is far inferior to directly introducing foreign investment, because developed countries can use tariff barriers or administrative measures and other methods to prevent your products from being sold. Unless you can make technological breakthroughs despite blockades and sanctions, or you have a large enough domestic market to support it.
The global financial crisis caused a large number of factories to close down, a large number of companies lost orders, and the goods accumulated in warehouses could not be cashed in. This is already reminding us that the current production capacity has reached a certain level. If overseas cannot digest the goods we produce, and the same is true for the mainland market, more companies will collapse.
In recent years, many companies have begun to engage in low-price strategies. They are all thinking like KFC, reducing costs by improving the supply chain, thereby defeating competitors. By continuously annexing its opponents, it has become a leading company in the industry. There are other companies that steal and leak information, fake financial reports and harvest money in the capital market, and some bosses lend billions of dollars in loans at every turn.
I studied abroad and met many bosses from China. Each one of them was much richer than the richest man in China. Nowadays, immigration is popular. You said that if these people who have made money move all their money overseas, and then the company will harvest it in the mainland..." When Chen Xi said this, many bosses didn't look good, but they supported There were more of them, and everyone secretly gave a thumbs up
In fact, no country wants to see a large outflow of local funds. Western countries have strict controls in this regard. If you want to get funds out and in, apart from special methods, using funds is a better legal way. . However, those bosses use other methods to transfer, and the result is that not a cent will be left.
"Mr. Chen, your speech just now has offended people. I didn't expect that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead." The Xu family said with some gloating.
"What's the point? Today is the Domestic Future Development Conference. Of course, there is something to say. If everyone is vague and flatters the leader, wouldn't it be in vain?" Chen Yifeng answered expressionlessly, In fact, he felt a little irritable in his heart at this time.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"It's not exciting enough, not as exciting as mine!" Feng Yun murmured to himself as he listened to the young man's speech, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"I just talked about loans. The amount of money some bosses borrow from banks is astronomical. But what if the money is not enough? Will there be a huge hole in the bank to fill? I have watched a TV series before. During the Qing Dynasty All banks use are banknotes, banknotes Of course, it can also be exchanged for silver. There is a plot in the play where due to an unexpected incident, people's trust in the bank dropped sharply, and they flocked to the bank to ask for silver. Faced with such a huge demand for exchange, the bank's actual inventory of silver. Obviously not satisfied at this time. The shopkeeper of the bank was quick to wit, and arranged for carriages to be loaded with fake silver that looked real, and frequently came in and out of the back door of the bank, creating the illusion that the bank had sufficient cash, thereby dispelling people's doubts. But this was in ancient times, and now it is almost a few steps away. you can see The number of banks in a bank is astronomical. If one day the bank runs out of money and a large number of people want to withdraw money, they will definitely not do what they do in the TV series, but will find other excuses..." Feng As soon as Yun finished speaking, Chen Xi said again.
This time, the bank boss present looked unhappy.
Feng Yun secretly clenched his fists and shouted in his heart: "Okay!"
The Xu family, who had been teasing Chen Yifeng just now, was sweating from behind, as if someone had discovered a little secret.
The bosses of most listed companies are even more furious.
Chen Xi paused and continued: "Although we are developing rapidly now, any measures will have negative effects. Many excellent projects are controlled by Chinese companies, which has led to the privatization reform being delayed. Finance Investment will have a crowding-out effect on private investment. Investments by Chinese companies are often not efficient in competitive fields. From another perspective, some wrong investments will further inhibit the enthusiasm of private investment in the future. Who will do business when the investment environment deteriorates?
Once this high-investment and high-consumption model is suddenly interrupted by unknown strange factors, it will definitely trigger a crisis in the future... In Asia, there are actually many emerging regions that are similar to ours before. If others also throw out... In exchange for preferential OEM conditions that are lower than ours, will those multinational groups invest in them? As soon as they withdraw their investment, our side...
Let me raise another issue, that is, the issue of revenue. The main problem now is proliferation. There will be a layer in every link of the enterprise from raw materials to end products. Regardless of whether the product is finally sold or not, it has been collected. If the economy fluctuates, the economy will slow down, thereby reducing corporate costs and allowing factories to expand production to increase the base.
The main source of revenue in some Western countries such as Australia is consumption. If the product cannot be sold, there will be no revenue. Therefore, we will try our best to promote consumption, because only when products are sold can companies make money and revenue will increase. If growth becomes the main type of taxation, it will determine that we will be a production-based society rather than a consumption-based society...
Nowadays, young people in remote areas have gone to cities to work, and remote areas are facing a serious problem of population aging. The urban consumer market is increasingly prosperous, while the rural market is gradually marginalized, and the balance and coordination of the overall economic structure..." Chen Xi looked at Feng Yun after finishing speaking.
Hehe, I am more powerful than you said!
If Chen Xi's previous words were considered acceptable to the leaders, their subsequent words made them look a bit unhappy.
But this does not mean that there is something wrong with what Chen Xi said, but that they are thinking about how to develop in the future?
It's like a car that has been driven to its limit. It seems unrealistic for you to ask it to suddenly make a sharp turn or brake suddenly.
"I don't know what the unknown strange factors you just mentioned are referring to." A leader couldn't help but asked.
"Well... I can't say, it's just mysterious power, such as natural and man-made disasters." Chen Xi laughed.
Chen Xi's words are actually different from Feng Yun's. They are praise first and then criticism. It not only affirms the previous development, but also points out the future crisis.
As for how to make adjustments, that's beyond his control. It's up to the leaders to make a decision at a later meeting.
As everyone knows, there is a young leader on the stage looking at Chen Xi and Feng Yun with interest.
"You really dare to say anything. Which company does that guy belong to? Why haven't you heard of it?" After the meeting ended, many bosses looked at Chen Xi.
"Who knows, it seems that he studied abroad."
"You became the chairman at such a young age?"
"Isn't it strange? Times are changing now, and it's not uncommon for young people to become big bosses."
"Speaking like Feng Yun, he doesn't know how to restrain himself at all." Several bosses who were cutting leeks in the stock market and planning to transfer assets said angrily.
"Our efficiency is not high? We are one of the world's top 500 companies."
"That's right, our Chinese enterprises all control important industries. We don't even know how much our annual income is. We are really good at telling lies." The bosses of several Chinese enterprises even had a bad look on their faces. Look at Chen Xi.
"It's all nonsense. How could the bank have no money? It's really funny."
"That's right, there are so many banks across the country, and the amount of money they can provide is astronomical." Several bank presidents said calmly.
Chen Xi's speech just now completely ridiculed some people present.
"Leader, Feng Yun just said that he wanted to develop rural e-commerce. Do you want to talk to him?" the young man who appeared in the parking lot asked softly.
"What are we talking about? Let him do it first and check the situation first." The middle-aged man raised his eyelids, not wanting to avoid discussing this topic.
At this time, Feng Yun also walked up to Chen Xi: "Boy Chen, I didn't expect you to really dare to speak out and have opinions about Chinese companies, hahaha. But then again, why did you suddenly talk about rural areas? The problem has arisen?”
"How dare I have any opinions? Today is the Future Development Conference. Of course I have to say what I have to say. Rural issues have always been something that cannot be ignored. I must say something about this. But Mr. Feng, you are still so amazing. You didn’t even hide what you said. Aren’t you afraid of someone’s revenge?”
"I'm afraid of being stupid. Let me tell you, I have worked in all professions before, and I also worked in the economic and trade department. I was very screwed at that time..." Feng Yun came up with all the catchphrases and made no secret of it. Then he told Chen Xi about the past.
In fact, entrepreneurs like them are also human beings. Even if they look polite on TV, they are also swearing in private, and Chen Xi and Chen Yifeng are no exception.
"Mr. Feng, you are doing well in e-commerce. I think it is a bit unreliable to suddenly run into rural e-commerce." Chen Xi smiled, but still wanted to remind the other party.
"Why isn't it reliable? I think it's very reliable. You young people just don't dare to do some things. What's the use of simulating business every day in your brain. As far as my experience from starting a business up to now, if you don't try, then Never know if it will work. ”
"It makes sense, I'm optimistic about you!"
Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Chen Xi could only smile.
At this time, Chen Yifeng stood expressionless at the entrance of the venue. He looked at the people pouring out, thought for a while and walked to the side.
What the hell is this brat doing again? Why don't you learn from Feng Yun?
Such a big meeting, what kind of nonsense is this? If someone cares about me, won't it affect me? (End of chapter)
