Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 602
Chapter 602 I, Qin Shihuang, make money!
The crowd then walked forward and came to the electronic product exhibition area.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the electronic product area, which mainly sells calculators, electronic watches, game consoles and other products. In the future, I plan to introduce computer-related components and make this area a technology area!” Li Weidong said. road.
The person next to him nodded: “Chairman Li’s plan is very forward-looking, and computers are the future development trend. Now many units are starting to use computers for office work. If they don’t have computers in the future, I’m afraid they can’t even work.
We should encourage and develop related industries, so as to promote the progress of science and technology and increase productivity! As for the game console, I think it’s better not to encourage this kind of thing, so as not to be discouraged! ”
At that time, there was no such thing as e-sports. In people’s eyes, playing games was playing with things.
If someone plays games for a few hours after get off work every day, then in the eyes of the family, this drama is considered a waste!
Reading books, newspapers, going out to socialize, even watching TV, playing mahjong, fighting landlords, and playing chess is better than playing games!
Now, playing games at home is probably the most economical way of entertainment, and you can also decompress while playing.
Can’t you spend money when you go out? It’s just about eating, drinking, and dating a girl. If you are infected with bad habits, your family wealth will not be able to withstand the toss!
In 2000, the most common game console on the market was the handheld console that played Tetris.
Some of the high-end ones have black and white GameBoys, but there are basically no Nintendo originals, and they are all knockoffs made by domestic companies.
The original Japanese GameBoy game console is too expensive, and the domestic people basically cannot afford it, so it can be regarded as a luxury.
The GameBoy game consoles sold in China at that time were all game console motherboards imported from the other side, and then assembled in China. Since color screens cannot be made in China, these cottage products are all black and white screens.
In addition, there was a very popular game console at that time, that is, electronic pets.
The electronic pet was popular all over the world in the 1990s. This product was originally designed by the Japanese. The first generation product was called Tuomagezi, and 80 million pieces were sold worldwide.
However, the technical content of this product is not high, so it is easy to be imitated. When electronic pets became popular, imitations appeared in countries all over the world.
It is something that Chinese companies are very good at imitating this kind of low-tech product. At that time, in the Pearl River Delta region, many small factories were imitating this kind of electronic pet.
However, for electronic products, game consoles are all small things, and the real big market in the future is computer hardware.
Between the rise of smart phones, it belonged to the era of computers. If you look at the Internet cafes on the streets at that time, you will know how popular computers were at that time.
The Internet giants in China all rose in that era.
At that time, the price of computer hardware was not as transparent as it is now, and many merchants were looking at people’s dishes and making random quotations, so it was easy to generate a lot of profits.
At the beginning of the 21st century, there will be one computer city in cities all over the country, and some places even have more than one computer city. In the era before the rise of e-commerce, the flow of people in the computer city was even more than that of shopping malls.
The reason why there are so many computer cities is because the hardware of computers was really very profitable in that era. In the future, the computer hardware sales industry, which only has a profit of 10%, will often be 40% to 50% of the net profit at that time.
At that time, many of the customers were computer novices, or only half novices who knew a little about hardware. Merchants could use the poor information to easily fool customers.
The price of brand machines at that time was really expensive, and the word “cost-effectiveness” was completely unrelated to brand machines. The preparation of 3,000 yuan dared to sell for seven or eight thousand yuan, which was to bully most people who did not understand computers.
And this also gives the assembled machine a better living space. With the same configuration, as long as the quotation is a few hundred dollars cheaper than the brand machine, the computer can be sold.
For computer hardware sales, from 2000 to 2010, it was really a golden age, as long as you rent a counter in the computer city, you can make money.
Of course, Li Weidong couldn’t miss this opportunity, so he laid out in advance and opened a special area for computer hardware in the small appliance wholesale mall.
Although in the future, with the convenience of information dissemination, the information of computer hardware will gradually become transparent, and there will be fewer computer novices who are easily fooled. Coupled with the rise of e-commerce, offline sales have been hit, and Computer City has gradually disappeared.
But that is also a matter of more than ten years. After more than ten years, the industry will decline, and then re-planning will be done.
And the past ten years have happened to be the fastest ten years of China’s economic development. It is serious business to eat the dividends of this wave of economic development first.
…
The small home appliance mall is very large. When Li Weidong walked with the leader to the electronic product area, the performance of the stars outside also ended.
But the people watching the lively didn’t leave immediately. After all, this Shilibao is a little far from the city. If the common people come all the way, why don’t they stop by the wholesale mall for a stroll!
Not to mention, the clothes sold in the textile wholesale mall next door are much cheaper than those in the shops in the city. The common people finally come here and buy a few clothes for themselves or their family members, which can also save a fortune.
What’s more, today is the opening day of the small home appliance mall. In order to get a good start, many merchants have held promotional activities. The discounts on the products are very strong, and they are much cheaper than those in the mall. .
When Li Weidong returned with the leaders, he saw more and more people in the mall. When he returned to the home appliance exhibition area, it was even more crowded, and every shop was full of customers.
And the merchants are also vigorously promoting sales, some shouting, some shouting with loudspeakers, various voices asking prices, haggling voices, and sales promotions are endless, making the scene very noisy.
“The electric fan is on sale, the new floor fan, buy it and earn it!”
“Puppy brand hair dryer, directly sold by the factory, the price is absolutely cheap! I just picked up the goods from the Puppy Electric Appliance Factory this morning, they are all just produced, and they are still hot!”
“This soymilk maker, wipe off the fraction for me!”
“Sister, you really can’t wipe off the fraction, so I will earn your fraction. If you wipe it off, I won’t make any money. You have to give me Liukou food!”
“The price I gave you is much cheaper than in the mall. If you don’t believe me, go to the mall and see!”
“How many units do you want? For more than 20 units, I can give you a 5% discount!”
Although it is very noisy here, it is the sound that a shopping mall should have. These sounds fall into the ears of several leaders, but they are filled with the atmosphere of folk fireworks, like a willow forest that has just budded, full of vitality everywhere.
For a shopping mall, it is definitely a good thing to have more people. The more people there are, the more goods will be sold, and the larger the transaction volume will be, which will then drive the upstream and downstream industries, provide employment, pay taxes, and promote economic growth. , these are the things that local officials most want to see.
The leader headed by couldn’t help but praised; “Chairman Li, there is such a large flow of people on the first day of opening, your small appliance wholesale mall will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future!”
“Leader, let’s go to the textile wholesale market next door, there must be more people there than here, wait a moment, I’ll call a car!”
The minibus was already waiting not far away. Li Weidong made a phone call and the minibus drove directly to the door.
Li Weidong invited several leaders to the car, and then went straight to the textile wholesale mall next to him.
As Li Weidong said, there are more people in the textile wholesale mall!
This place is full of people buying clothes.
It is a person who needs to wear clothes, even if it is a shameless person who likes to run naked, he always needs to keep warm when the weather is cold. If you don’t want to freeze to death, you must have clothes to wear.
The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing is only ranked after eating, it is the second need of human survival. So there are more customers in the textile wholesale market.
“This dress, give me a 165 piece.”
“This is too big, you can change me to a smaller one.”
“Boss, if it’s cheaper, I want all three of these clothes!”
Although this is a wholesale market, the merchants do not refuse retail sales. If there is business, how can they be turned away. If it’s a big deal, just raise the price a little bit, sell it more expensive than the wholesale price, and make more money.
What’s more, there are so many people today, even if it is retail, if it accumulates, there will be very considerable profits.
No matter how small the mosquito meat is, if you catch 108,000 of them and put them together, you can have a full meal.
China’s wholesale market is generally like this, making money by wholesale, and selling goods in retail, but different prices will be given according to the quantity of goods requested by customers.
This huge flow of people is exactly the effect Li Weidong needs.
Li Weidong took great pains to organize such a big opening ceremony, and also specially invited big-name singers to perform, the purpose is to attract citizens to come.
As long as people come, they will definitely visit these two wholesale malls, and even if they don’t buy anything, they will cheer for them.
This can give the leaders who came to visit an illusion that this large-scale wholesale mall is a very popular commercial project and will make a huge contribution to the local economic development.
Sure enough, seeing the popularity of the wholesale mall is so strong, even the newly opened small appliance wholesale mall has so many people, and several leaders are full of praise.
Immediately afterwards, Li Weidong brought several leaders to the reception room of the mall management company to rest.
On the wall of the reception room, there is a huge plan, and below the plan, there is a corresponding sand table model.
This sand table model was also made carefully by Li Weidong at his expense. The purpose is for today’s leaders to visit.
Sure enough, several leaders were attracted by this sand table model.
“There are several buildings on this plan. Are they all wholesale malls?”
“The sandbox below looks more intuitive.”
“Look at this, it’s the textile wholesale mall we went to just now, and the one next to it is the small appliance wholesale mall that opened today!”
“There are several buildings around here. Are you planning to build a wholesale mall for other products?”
At this time, Li Weidong came over and said: “Leader, you are right, these are the plans of other wholesale malls. In the future, I also plan to do wholesale of building materials, hardware, furniture, auto parts and other products.
When all these are completed, a complex with a complete range of commodities will be formed, and buyers who come here can purchase a variety of required commodities at one time. Then combined with the logistics industry, a complete system from commodity wholesale to delivery is formed. ”
“Chairman Li, your plan is not small, it looks much bigger than Yiwu!” Someone next to him said.
Li Weidong smiled and nodded: “All cities that vigorously develop commerce and trade hope to become the second Yiwu, but I am confident that we can be bigger and stronger than Yiwu! We can surpass Yiwu!”
Li Weidong started to draw a pie, and everyone looked at him.
One of them said, “Beyond Yiwu? It’s easier said than done! After so many years of development in our country, there is not only one Yiwu!”
Li Weidong continued to draw cakes: “Compared with Yiwu, we have advantages here. First of all, Yiwu is only a county-level unit, but we are a prefecture-level unit. We have a larger population here, and the resources that can be mobilized and invested are also limited. More. This is our first advantage
Although there is no economic belt close to the Yangtze River Delta around us, with the development of transportation, it will be faster and more convenient for us to go to the Beijing-Tianjin region in the north, or the Yangtze River Delta region in the south, and even form a similar relationship with Beijing-Tianjin and the Yangtze River Delta region. One-day life quantity, this is our second advantage.
We are not far from the sea, only 150 kilometers from the nearest Donggang city, and the road is relatively flat. In comparison, it takes 200 kilometers from Yiwu to Ningbo Port, and it is more mountainous on the way. This is our third advantage! ”
After listening to Li Weidong’s analysis, several people nodded silently, apparently agreeing with Li Weidong’s statement.
Since the reform and opening up, Yiwu’s economic development is obvious to all, and the reason why Yiwu’s economy develops so fast depends on commerce.
Moreover, Yiwu’s commerce not only enriches itself, but also drives the surrounding cities. Although Yiwu is only a county-level unit, all of them enjoy the benefits of Yiwu’s development of commerce from Hangzhou to the north, Ningbo to the east, and Wenzhou to the south. .
It is no exaggeration to say that in the first two decades of reform and opening up, one Yiwu led the economic development of the entire Zhejiang.
It was not until later that the cities around Yiwu began to develop emerging industries, such as the Internet and financial industries in Hangzhou, and the port freight in Ningbo.
In the process of Yiwu’s development, there are not a few cities in China who go to Yiwu to learn lessons, and many cities learn from Yiwu’s advanced experience, hoping to promote economic development through the development of commerce and trade.
The leaders invited by Li Weidong are no strangers to Yiwu’s development model, and some of them have seriously studied Yiwu’s success.
Now that Li Weidong has drawn a pie “beyond Yiwu”, how could everyone present not be moved!
If the success of Yiwu can be replicated, it will not only promote the local development of Qinghe, but also drive other cities in the province to make progress.
And as Li Weidong said, Yiwu is only a county-level unit, and it cannot compare with Qinghe in terms of population and resources. Therefore, it is not completely impossible to say that it is beyond Yiwu.
Li Weidong continued boldly: “In addition, there is a fourth advantage, that is, Qinghe has me Li Weidong! The small commodity city in Yiwu was originally composed of thousands of ordinary merchants.
I, Li Weidong, although not talented, should be much stronger than ordinary traders in business! It will definitely be more effective than thousands of ordinary traders to lead the development of Qinghe’s business industry! ”
Several leaders look at me, I look at you, although I think Li Weidong is bragging, but I really can’t find anything to refute.
Li Weidong created the current industry from scratch, and it is not a speculative industry, but a serious manufacturing industry. In terms of business, he is indeed a domestically recognized genius.
At least Yiwu has developed for so many years, and thousands of businessmen have appeared, but none of them have reached the level of Li Weidong.
Based on such an analysis, Li Weidong’s painting seems to be really edible.
However, Li Weidong changed his voice and said, “But at present, this plan to surpass Yiwu has encountered some obstacles.”
“What’s blocking it?” the highest-ranking leader immediately asked.
“The main reason is the lack of funds.” Li Weidong paused, then continued; “Building a wholesale mall requires a lot of money, but I can’t raise so much money now, so the follow-up projects can only be postponed.
All leaders have also seen that the passenger flow of the mall is not a problem, and if there is passenger flow, investment promotion is not a problem, so as long as the mall is built, the funds will be recovered soon, and what we lack is the construction of the mall. Funds. ”
Li Weidong said with an earnest expression on his face, which seemed to say: I, Qin Shihuang, make money!
