Chapter 589 Beverage Plastic Bottle

On August 1, Carrefour Supermarket:

"We are abacusers, how did you transfer us to the warehouse to do the accounting?" Several middle-aged men, who were not young, were gathered in an office at this moment, and one of the short-haired men said angrily.

In front of them, a young man with glasses said helplessly: "Old Wu, everyone, you have seen calculators, don't you understand?

No matter how fast or accuracy you are, the company is ready to let all cashiers use calculators, which can save one labor and the entire Carrefour, which can save nearly a thousand people. ”

"Carrefour is so big, isn't that little person short?" said the middle-aged man with short hair, "And when we needed us, I called us when we used to be, but now I don't need it anymore, so I'll drive us away?"

They also know that no matter how hard they work, their grades are not as good as calculators, but they are still too unwilling to accept it.

"Everyone, did you not get a salary before or what?" The man with glasses also turned cold and said, "If it were an ordinary company, you would have been unemployed long ago when you encountered this situation today;

That is, Carrefour's boss is Yang Sheng. He doesn't want everyone who has worked hard for the company to lose their jobs, so he has transferred jobs. If you feel dissatisfied, you can leave at any time, but I tell you that the calculator will be needed soon. It has been released on a large scale, and the industry where you are trying to figure out your abacus is gone. ”

Although labor in Hong Kong is not very expensive, no one will recruit unwanted people;

It’s just that the boss has considered a lot, so he didn’t do it, but transferred his job. Although the new position does not require abacus, since those who can become an abacuser have some education and mathematical ability, it is also considered a thing to do things in the warehouse. Very useful.

The short-haired middle-aged man changed his expression when he saw his leader. At the same time, he knew that what the other party said was true, and he did not dare to go too far. It just involved his own interests. He asked: "Manager Zhao, we all have elders and subordinates. It’s a small one, it’s okay if you change the job, but the salary has been reduced too much.”

Manager Zhao said, "Old Wu, you also know that the abacus industry is gone, how can it be as high as before?

The salary the company now gives you is 70% of what you used to be, and it is already considered taking care of you, because you work the same job as you in the warehouse, and your salary is still a little worse than you. This is also what the boss takes care of you specifically. Don’t toast or eat. Punishment of wine;

If you are really dissatisfied and have the ability to find other jobs in other places, you can leave at any time. The boss also said that you can get an additional 2 months of salary subsidy when you leave, which is regarded as a benefit for you. ”

The salary of abacusists was really high before, several times that of ordinary people. There was no way, trying to play abacus to be very skilled is also a kind of skill, and the salary of a technical worker was naturally very high.

The subsidy is actually thinking that if someone can change jobs, in the long run, it is a good thing for Carrefour, and it is best to be in love with each other.

"." The little leader's words made Lao Wu and others shut up;

In fact, they had known for a long time that once the calculator is popularized, it may threaten their profession;

Even if you go out now and find an abacus job, you may still be unemployed later. It is better to stay at Carrefour. Although the salary is a little lower, at least the benefits are good and easy, and there is even air conditioning in the summer.

Manager Zhao said again: "Everyone, I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is the situation now. Times have changed. Just like the rickshaws ten years ago were very popular, and now they are basically not good either;

Moreover, among you, you have good education or good arithmetics. This ability cannot be replaced by a calculator. If you work in a warehouse in the future, you can be promoted if you perform well, and your salary may be higher than before.

Carrefour is also developing now, and it is possible for you guys. ”

More than a decade ago, there were many rickshaw drivers in Hong Kong, even in Hong Kong Island. They were pulling cars everywhere, and perhaps only a few places such as Central were mainly taxis;

But in ten years, China-Battle has developed very rapidly, coupled with good economic development, and more and more taxis have been used. Rickshaws have basically withdrawn from Hong Kong Island and only exist in some areas with underdeveloped transportation in Kowloon;


But the Hong Kong government is also gradually adopting policies to cancel rickshaws. As the times develop, many people will inevitably come at a price.

"Thank you, Manager Zhao." Old Wu and others could only say.

Although they knew this was a comfort, they did encounter similar things about the "rickshaw driver". There were rickshaws everywhere ten years ago, but now there are basically not many people;

Nowadays, people either take a car or a bus. Both of them basically have air conditioning. What are the rickshaws? Sun shine?

And in terms of price, buses are not expensive, and the cars are very fast, and the rickshaw is naturally eliminated after nothing is used;

The same goes for these abacusers when they encounter calculators, without any resistance. Fortunately, the abacusers still have the mathematical ability, which is more or less helpful, so it is still okay to keep a job.

A few days later, Yang Wendong also learned that the abacusers in various supermarkets gradually withdrew from the stage of history and the cashier with calculators were on the run;

When you are busy, there may be two people, one person reading the price of the goods, the other person counting, and one person being idle;

This is much better than the previous abacusers, because when the business time period was poor, they had to support these people.

"Technology really changes life." Yang Wendong said with emotion as he looked at the cashier group that seemed to be more efficient.

Su Yiyi said: "What has changed is the life of a business? Ordinary people should not have high demand for calculators, unless they are students?"

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Why not? Many companies in society have reduced their operating costs. As long as prices will drop sooner or later in a fair competition environment, they will let everyone enjoy a cheaper product;
< br>

The price reduction of these goods will promote more consumption and eventually feed back to merchants and workers, so that everyone will become richer and more stable in society. ”

Reducing inflation can be said to be one of the most valued data in any country and region, and it is also linked to the unemployment rate;

Although the electronics era and the Internet era are essentially different from the first and second scientific and technological revolutions and do not involve energy, their efficiency improvement is also earth-shaking. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a half-industrial revolution.

"That Carrefour is a monopoly enterprise. Will it reduce the price?" Su Yiyi asked with a smile.

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Yes, Carrefour's profit margin in Hong Kong has requirements and will not do whatever he wants because of monopoly;

One is that there is no need for us. We are not short of this money. The second is that if we maintain high prices for a long time, we may support other competitors. For example, Jardinet Swire may come in to ensure a certain profit margin and prevent other merchants from entering. In this market, in the long run, the profit will be higher. ”

This is actually Coca-Cola's policy. In fact, they can also raise prices appropriately, and their returns will definitely skyrocket in that year;

But the risk of doing this is that other beverage brands may take the opportunity to launch their own Coke, take the low-price route, and then seize the market. Once the enemy gains a foothold, it will be difficult to drive them away later.

MediaTek's success in the chip industry in the past life should be thankful to Qualcomm's long-term high profit rules, otherwise it would be impossible to succeed.

"That's pretty good." Su Yiyi said with a smile.

Yang Wendong said, "Okay, let's go here, let's do it here. Let's go to Kwun Tong, Lao Wei is already waiting for us there."

"Yeah," Su Yiyi nodded and said.

The convoy of bulletproof Mercedes-Benz passed the Hung Hom submarine tunnel and drove towards Kwun Tong after arriving at Hung Hom;

Su Yiyi looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "After the tunnel was opened, the speed of coming to Kowloon was much faster than before."

"Of course." Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Those who invested hundreds of millions of dollars, are they not fast enough to pay? The charges in our tunnels are much more expensive than before."

The ferry is only a few dollars, and the tunnel is more than a hundred times more expensive, so the charges are naturally much more expensive;

But because of the convenience, most cars in Hong Kong are still willing to go through tunnels. After all, in any era, those who can afford cars in Hong Kong are rich people, not a few dollars or dozens of dollars;

Unless their location is too far from Hung Hom and it takes more time and energy to bypass it than taking a ferry, there is nothing we can do about it; however, with the opening of the Hung Hom Tunnel, the ferry business has begun to be gradually cancelled. In the future, in addition to a few places, the rest will be the world of Hung Hom Tunnel.

Su Yiyi sighed and said, "I always recall when I was a child. At that time, I dreamed of going to Hong Kong Island for fun, but unfortunately I had no money and couldn't even get on a small ship."

"It was youth when I was a child." Yang Wendong sighed and said, "But don't think too much. People still have to move forward. We must work harder. While the company is developing, we can see if it can help more other children. ”

Su Yiyi asked: "Charity?"

"No, how many people can charity help? We can only help extreme poverty or some orphans." Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "The best way is to drive economic development so that everyone in Hong Kong has a job income. Build your own house, which is the best for your children.”

Although many people in Hong Kong had poor living conditions in their previous lives, and a family was crowded in a room of ten square meters, they were much better than the squatters he had when he was a child, and the proportion of such people was far beyond the previous one; br>


In general, Hong Kong's development has changed people's lives better and better, and what he has to do is to develop those worse, in a mutually beneficial way, and while eating meat by himself, Let tens of thousands of other people drink some soup.

"Oh, Berkshire's factory is under construction, and Zheng Zhijie has also opened up channels in Southeast Asia. I hope this factory can also develop successfully, so that at least a few thousand people can work," Su Yiyi smiled.

Yang Wendong said: "This is actually not difficult. Berkshire's technology, Hong Kong's labor, and our group's property resources will inevitably succeed."

Although he doesn't understand the textile industry, he has the basic conditions for doing business, and the joint venture between Berkshire and Changxing Group, he is still confident that he will succeed;

And if it succeeds, you can also learn some of the business models of clothing giants you know in your previous life. Even if it is not successful, it should be helpful.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

The convoy soon arrived at Kwun Tong Industrial Park in Changxing;

"Yang Sheng, Mrs. Yang." Wei Zetao had been waiting at the factory gate.

"Old Wei, you have a lot more white hair. Thank you for your hard work in the past ten years." Yang Wendong suddenly said after seeing it.

In a blink of an eye, he has been traveling to Hong Kong for 12 years. Wei Zetao, as the first professional manager to follow him, has been in almost 11 years.

Wei Zetao was stunned for a moment, then said, "You are polite, Yang Sheng, this is what I should do. I never dreamed that the small factory that interviewed me could actually develop to this level today and become a part of it. , I am also very honored. ”

This sentence is not fake either. As a professional manager, being able to follow a boss like Yang Wendong and starting such a career is not a great opportunity;

Although he did not obtain shares in the company, his salary income over the years was also very high. The boss also rewarded several houses. The cars belong to the company, so he basically had no worries in his life.

"Haha, that's right." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Changxing Industrial has always been the company I value the most. I have always relied on it when I started my business."

Changxing Industrial's early best-selling products gave Changxing Group enough credit limits in various banks, which gave the opportunity to start a successful career in heavy asset fields such as real estate and shipping. After the two markets took off, it led several other products. New industries, such as supermarkets, media, etc.;

Wei Zetao smiled and said, "Yang Sheng, now there are several companies under your jurisdiction that are stronger than Changxing Industrial."

Although he has a seniority, his other subsidiaries have surpassed Changxing Industry.

On Honor Electronics, the sales of TVs are hundreds of thousands, hundreds of each, which is hundreds of millions, and there are also various other electrical products;

Changxing Real Estate has controlled tens of millions of feet of land in Hong Kong, and there are many high-quality locations. Changxing Shipping has made a lot of money with the help of the Middle East crisis in recent years;

Although I have industries such as plastics and paper, it has developed very well. It is also a big company when I put it alone in the United States, but compared with these companies, it is still worse than that.

"Yes, but this is also an industry problem. The market for the plastic parts industry is too low." Yang Wendong said again: "But this is not absolute. Some plastic parts are still very promising."

Wei Zetao asked quickly, "What does Yang Sheng mean?"

In the early years, several of Changxing Industrial's main products started and developed based on the creativity of Yang Wendong. In the future, Changxing Industrial also created many products and achieved some achievements, but they are far behind the post-it notes and trolley boxes. Now.

Now as time goes by, Changxing Industrial's early product patents are about to expire, which is a relatively big threat;

Although Changxing Industry has made some achievements in the field of non-patent products, relying solely on these alone cannot maintain its former scale.

Yang Wendong asked back: "Do we have R&D capabilities in the plastics industry now?"

"There are some. We already have R&D centers in Hong Kong and Wanwan. We have poached some people from overseas and trained a lot within Hong Kong." Wei Zetao replied.

Although there were no talents in this area ten years ago in Hong Kong, Changxing Industrial's continuous investment in ten years naturally made a lot of achievements.

Yang Wendong asked again: "Okay, then next, I need you to develop a special plastic product. If it can be successful, it will definitely be a more popular product."

"Please also make it clear to Yang Sheng." Wei Zetao asked happily.

Yang Wendong said: "I need you to make plastic into very thin bottles, and while ensuring light weight, it also ensures certain quality;

In addition, the ingredients must be food grade. ”

"Plastic bottle?" Wei Zetao immediately reacted: "Does Yang Sheng want to use it to hold a drink?"

"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded.

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket at the end of the month

Happy New Year to everyone
