When he returned to the villa in the evening, Chen Xi met Xiao Ming's new girlfriend, Bao Yu.
He didn't ask how Xiao Ming broke up with Zhang Yi, but he guessed that it was probably because of the previous incident in the West District.
This new girlfriend Bao Yu is similar to Zhang Yi. They both have that kind of small loli style, so Xiao Ming is just like this.
However, Bao Yu is much better looking than Zhang Yi, after all, Zhang Yi's appearance is at the middle and lower level.
Bao Yu is still in school, and Xiao Ming is considered an old cow who eats young grass. According to Xiao Ming's explanation, the two of them met in a cram school. Usually he would go to cram school to spend the time teaching, but as he made up for the tutoring class, he got to bed.
"Hello Brother Xi!" Bao Yu greeted him warmly every time he saw him, which seemed very polite. This was much more pleasing to Zhang Yi.
"Well, hello!" Chen Xi responded with a smile.
"Brother Xi, I asked in school. International students and some people with poor financial conditions will not invite cleaning companies to their doorsteps, because they cost hundreds of Australian dollars at a time, which they can't afford. Moreover, the number of these people is very large. I think we can use domestic shared projects to launch self-service cleaning capsule equipment. The deposit is set to 150 Australian dollars, including a vacuum cleaner + steam mop. The charge is 20 Australian dollars per hour, which can add a considerable income to the company..." Bao Yu suddenly spoke a business plan, which surprised Chen Xi.
He said slightly, "Why don't you tell Xiao Ming about this?"
"I have said it, but he always said that I am a student. These things are theoretical aspects and will only lose money when applied in practice. Brother Ming thinks that if a self-service cleaning device is launched, it will affect the current company's business. If others do the cleaning themselves, who will hire a cleaning company? But I think the two are not in conflict. The customer groups are different, so the needs are different. Besides, if we don't do it and let others do it, then the living space in the world will be compressed in the future..."
"Well, it makes sense! I'll talk to Xiao Ming about this tomorrow, and he's still buying you a midnight snack outside."
Upon hearing this, Bao Yu's face turned slightly red.
After all, he is a little girl and has a little thin skin.
But his mind still turns quite fast, with some Liya's style.
The sharing economy has just been launched in China, and Bao Yu actually thought of using it in Tujia.
This cleaning equipment rental has actually been available for a long time, but the location is located in major supermarkets, so the management can be said to be zero. The equipment is provided to the supermarket by the manufacturer, and the rental income is equal to everyone's share. The supermarket administrators are perfunctory, which has led to the fact that this project has always been in a loss state.
The purpose of the manufacturer is not to make money from renting equipment, but to increase the popularity of its products, and the project became a mess.
Nowadays, most of the cleaning equipment in supermarkets are damaged and have fewer supporting detergents. Citizens are used to it and have given up their plans to rent equipment.
I secretly came to Jin Nana's room, nothing had changed. I just put a dust cover on the bed, probably because Dongdong and Xiao Ming did it.
He picked up the doll in the cabinet and touched it. Chen Xi suddenly missed the little stick with a broken mouth.
After all, they have lived together for so many years, and the two of them have been in a state of ups and downs that night, so it is impossible to say that they have no feelings.
After staring in Jin Nana's room for a long time, he returned to his bedroom, and a lot of Saori's things remained here.
I opened a box casually, which contained some old objects from high school and many photos.
High schools in Tujia are different from those in China. Domestic high school graduation photos are all photos of the whole grade or class.
The graduation photos of Turkishou were taken together from the same HomeGroup.
In other words, the opportunities in the group photo are from different grades.
Chen Xi took out a photo of his HomeGroup. He was from the Red Group, including Luo Yiming, Tess and others.
One of the Asian-faced boys suddenly caught his attention.
"Damn, why did I forget this kid?"
Chen Xi slapped his forehead.
The boy in the photo is the only kimchi boy in the entire school - Jun.
The name is also a common Chinese English name for kimchi, because many Chinese people have the word "jun" in their names.
He and Chen Xi have a good relationship and are kind.
He took out his cell phone and called.
"It seems that I'm back to Kimchi Country." The voice on the phone made Chen Xi mumble a few words, and he simply left a message to the other party through MSN.
In fact, the quickest way to find out about Kim Nana is to ask Kim Tae-hee, but Chen Xi was a little embarrassed to go.
After all, I have ruined my sister, so why do you go over and ask?
As soon as he threw away his worries, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day.
BoxhillJBHI-FI.
This is a well-known electrical appliance retailer in Turkishou, which mainly sells home electronics, car audio systems, music and DVDs and other products.
However, international students will affectionately call this store, "Jiba Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-
"Damn, why are JBHI-FI still selling domestic electrical appliances? Isn't this the bread machine I liked on Taobao a few days ago? I didn't expect to buy it directly in Tujia."
"Damn it, this is a smart refrigerator for kids, a big smart washing machine for Rongshida! How could it appear here? The price is even worse than the local brands. I'm afraid the shipping fee is not enough."
Several customers opened their mouths when they looked at the new products in the store.
JBHI-FI's operating conditions have not been very good in recent years, and its stock price has been falling again and again. Now JBHI-FI has been acquired and reorganized by Suning and Chen Xi's companies in Australia.
Not long ago, Su Ning Electric and Chen Xi's joint venture in Tujiao established an offshore acquisition entity, and used the loopholes in the ASX rules to secretly absorb funds in stages. First, through over-the-counter bulk transactions, they absorbed 19% of the equity from institutional investors who were struggling to deal with the impact of e-commerce at a discount of 12%, and then reached a share swap agreement with the original shareholders of JBHi-Fi by providing supply chain credit, and finally obtained a controlling stake with a total consideration of 1.18 billion Australian dollars.
The reorganization phase retains the original stable operation appearance of the management, but in fact, the retail middle-end system developed by Su Ning Qinhuai headquarters was implanted into the backend, and the smart home appliances made in China were replaced by ODM + Tujia certification. At the same time, several flagship stores were piloted to transform into "whole-house smart experience centers" in Mocun, and applied for government digital transformation subsidies in the name of local teams, quietly completing the gene reset from entertainment electronic retailers to Internet of Things home service providers.
Currently, the refrigerators and washing machines in Tu'ao are all very old styles and will not change them in many years to come. These smart home appliances in China have made many ghosts and local Chinese people lit up their eyes.
How did these smart home appliances appear in Tujia?
It is not directly shipped in the country, nor is it produced directly in Tujia.
After considering the fixed costs of local manufacturing and the variable costs of import, the company decided to establish a modular assembly plant in the industrial areas of Victoria and New South Wales, use China to transport semi-finished products of core components, and enjoy the current policy of partial tariff preferential treatment in China and Australia, and combine local procurement of shells and packaging materials. This is also to satisfy the preferences of Turkish and Australian consumers for the "MadeinAustralia" logo. Through Alin's relationship, they also obtained the state government's advanced manufacturing subsidy, that is, equipment purchase subsidy, so that they can hedge initial investment.
At the same time, it develops control systems that are adapted to 240V voltage and climate characteristics of the southern hemisphere, such as dust and sand intrusion design.
This hybrid model local assembly can reduce the overall logistics cost by 20%, and increase the profit margin by 7-9 percentage points.
In fact, Chen Xi doesn’t like using smart home appliances very much, but he is still willing to make money by selling them to consumers.
"Oh, thanks to you this time, Su Ning's crisis was resolved." Zhang Yuandong smiled at the endless stream of customers in the experience center.
Su Ning will die sooner or later in the e-commerce war with Aba and Aba in the country, and the future of offline physical stores will be dim.
Although the company's profits began to rise after cooperation with Xunjie, it was never a long-term solution.
So Chen Xi gave him an idea, since he couldn't beat it in the country, then go abroad to develop.
Su Ning's model is actually very suitable for developed countries abroad. People there are used to buying electrical appliances offline, so they don't have to worry about the existence of e-commerce at all.
"You can't be too happy too early. It's still unknown whether smart home appliances can always be popular in Tu'ao. These people are just looking for something new. Tu'ao people pay attention to the economical and durability of things, as long as the products are made well..." Chen Xi was not so excited.
He knows Tujia people so well and must change their living habits in order to truly take root in smart home appliances here.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Moreover, after-sales problems must be solved well, and the after-sales here can be different from those in China. The price of product repair is very high, and the government has not introduced any policy of trade-in. The failure rate of smart home appliances is much higher than that of traditional home appliances, and this aspect must be improved.
Otherwise, given the urinary nature of Tu'an, if he is unhappy with it, he will directly pull the appliances to the door of your store and smash them in person.
In this way, if the reputation is bad, who dares to buy it?
Chen Xi still remembers seeing it more than once. Someone bought a car and thought the after-sales service was not in place, so he pulled the car to the beach or sand to burn and bury it, and took it into a video and uploaded it to the Internet to protest.
This is basically not seen in China, but the per capita income of Tu and Australia is still very high, so they also vent their spare money.
Twenty minutes later, in a newly built apartment near Boxhill Church.
"From the future, we will get a gift for our smart home appliances, and everything will be installed and equipped." Chen Xi introduced the interior of the apartment room to Zhang Yuandong.
Chen Xi unscrewed the panel of the double-control switch in the living room to reveal the neat wire trough interface. The circuit module shipped from Shenzhen City has been decorated with Victorian red oak on the edges.
"Local workers only need to push the motherboard transported from China into the prefabricated tank, and then install the fire-resistant plastic shells we customized from Moda..." He opened the cabinet door of one of the bedrooms, and a water heater was making a faint sound.
Domestic electric water heaters are usually placed in the kitchen, but Tuao is not used in electric water heaters. Many people will place them in bedroom cabinets near the bathroom, so many residents don’t even know where their own water heaters are.
But there is one disadvantage, that is, if the water heater leaks, the room will be flooded. Chen Xi had the honor of experiencing it once before...
"All our home appliances can be viewed using the mobile app, which makes it convenient for the home to be safe all the time. If you find that the water heater is leaking, or the refrigerator is not working, you can find problems in time. The smart water heater can detect leakage through built-in sensors (humidity sensors, flow monitoring modules), while the smart refrigerator can determine faults through the temperature sensors and compressor status monitoring modules. These data are transmitted to the cloud server through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules..." Chen Xi said while demonstrating.
Smart home appliances are assembled and produced in Tujia, and some accessories will be selected from the local area, so Chen Xi can only give Zhang Yuandong science to quickly.
In fact, what he meant was that Zhang Yuandong could also bring some advanced technologies from Tujia back to China.
Su Ning is still very rich now, and Chen Xi gave him the advice to acquire some companies in Tuyao.
In addition to JBHI-FI, there is also a company called TheGoodGuys that also sells electrical appliances. The brand is currently valued at about 600 million Australian dollars. It can acquire 15-20% of the equity through leveraged acquisitions by Macquarie Bank, and then embed Su Ning's central control screen, smart refrigerator and wash products and other product lines to its hundreds of offline stores to replace the mid- and low-end products of LG and Samsung...
"In fact, we can develop some Tujia special models, such as routers embedded with ant-proof PCB coating. According to CSIRO monitoring, the failure rate of Tujia household electronic equipment due to pests is 32%. There are also anti-salt spray corrosion air conditioning units, which are suitable for high-saltitude areas within 50 kilometers of coastline... Although the Tujia government does not have a subsidy policy for old-for-new, they have an energy subsidy policy. Victoria's Household Energy Subsidy Program (VEU) can be rebate for a maximum of 2,500 Australian dollars for a single household. We can transform its air conditioning product heating efficiency ratio (COP) to above 4.8, and the premium is around 17% after passing the certification. Sales have a price advantage..."
"Well, it seems that the overseas market is quite big." Zhang Yuandong nodded after hearing this.
Although overseas development is conducive to Su Ning's survival, he does not want to give up the foundation he has worked hard in China.
Seeing what the other party was thinking, Chen Xi said again: "You can continue to do domestic business, and there is still a way out for offline physical stores at present. Su Ning can continue to take the real estate route. When the mall is sold, you can still make money..."
"Xiaoyang will come back after graduation in a few years. I originally wanted to train him to take over Su Ning's business, but he said he wanted to do football..." Zhang Yuandong suddenly remembered his son's affairs.
Chen Xi smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He proposed this idea to Zhang Yang.
I want my son to take over his work, and Zhang Yuandong is no exception.
But most children have their own ideas, and Chen Xi used to be the same.
He still remembers that in his previous life, Kevin Chen asked him to come back to take over Huade after graduation, but Chen Xi felt it would be better to rent the factory out directly and then use the money for logistics.
"Football can also be done, and now the company has more than one business." Chen Xi thought about it and explained.
According to the situation in his previous life, Su Ning will not be established for another one or two years before the official Su Ning Sports will be established, but because of his influence, Su Ning now has his own football club.
Of course, this club was also acquired.
From the perspective of overall profit, Su Ning Sports was in a state of loss before, but this is also the financial situation on the surface.
Private sports events are still very profitable, and it is inseparable from sports betting.
He can greatly affect his income by sports products, sports TV copyrights, and the income generated by the team after winning the championship.
However, if you want to make a profit all the time, you can only cooperate with gambling companies like TAB.
Zhang Yuandong is actually not optimistic about the sports industry. It can also be said that few Chinese bosses are interested in the sports industry, which is mainly influenced by their own culture.
He said worriedly: "This sports industry has invested a lot, so I spent more than 500 million to acquire our Suzhou Football Club! In addition, I have obtained the broadcasting rights in the European market, and I don't know how much investment will be in the later stage. By the way, is Tujia football in Australia powerful?"
"Tu O Football?" Chen Xi thought about it after hearing this, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Because Turkish-Australian football is unique, it is called Australian Rules Football, referred to as AFL, and is sometimes also called football or Aussierules.
The international English football is called Soccer in Turkish and Australia.
In domestic English textbooks, football is called football, which has led to many international students saying that they like to play football after coming to Tujia, which makes the ghost guy confused.
You, a Chinese, can still play Tujia football? (This chapter ends)
