Chapter 182: Blocking the Way of Competitors

In fact, Greenland Urban Construction Group's own workers are treated very well, and the work clothes are also very complete, from hard hats to T-shirts, coats, and trousers, at least two sets per person.

However, Greenland Urban Construction Group is now building more and more real estate, and its own team is simply too busy, so it has given 80% of the project volume to the outsourcing team.

The outsourcing team is a direct cooperation between Greenland Urban Construction Group and the contractor, or the contractor at the level of the contractor, and the contractor's project is accepted every once in a while, and after the acceptance, it meets the standards, how much money should be given, as for the treatment of employees, it is naturally the contractor or the contractor is responsible for it, and has nothing to do with Greenland Urban Construction Group.

However, most of the contractors and contractors are Zhou Peel, and they are not in arrears of employees' wages, so it is basically impossible for them to give employees better benefits.

The contractor and the contractor did not care about this, and their workers were more frugal, so there was a situation where everyone wore worse than the other when working, and there were all kinds of clothes, and there was no uniformity at all.

Zhao Jianliang, as an executive of Greenland Urban Construction Group, is naturally very dissatisfied with this situation out of consideration for the image of his own group.

I just happened to see that Lu Sifang's team was wearing the same camouflage uniform, and I felt refreshed all of a sudden, so I deliberately pulled him out to be a positive example.

Lu Sifang also figured out that the co-author was not to make trouble for himself, nor was it for his own workers to get into trouble, but to praise himself, he let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: It's very comfortable now......

Zhao Jianliang continued: "Look at Xiao Lu's team, how neat and tidy, standing here and looking at the past, although I can't see the appearance of any one person clearly, but just their uniform dress, I feel comfortable when I see it!"

"And you see, how eye-catching is the camouflage overalls that people choose in the construction site? Tower crane drivers can see clearly, which not only has a good working appearance, but also can improve the safety of the construction site!"

Everyone nodded as they looked down at the half-built upstairs below.

Indeed, this worker, dressed in camouflage, can be seen at a glance.

But if you're wearing a dusty coat and you're standing on a concrete-covered construction site, it's hard to read.

It seems that what Zhao Jianliang said is true, wearing such camouflage uniforms will inevitably greatly improve the safety of workers on the construction site.

At least this recognition is very high, even if you look down on the tower crane, it will never be missed.

Zhao Jianliang said: "Our Greenland Urban Construction Group is a highly self-disciplined enterprise, and the outsourcing party that cooperates with us must also be highly self-disciplined, otherwise, everyone will be very different in the spirit of enterprise, how to cooperate to make the project bigger and better?"

A group of managers around him nodded in agreement.

Zhao Jianliang said: "I see, in the future, we must set an outsourcing scoring mechanism, in addition to the construction speed, quality, work appearance, safety awareness should also be included, all aspects of the outsourcing party to be excellent, there will be cooperation in the future, as for all aspects of the performance is unsatisfactory, to reduce cooperation with them, or even terminate cooperation!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jianliang patted Lu Sifang's shoulder and said to Xiao Zhao and others: "Xiao Lu's construction team is an example for everyone to learn, and it is also the priority choice for our Greenland Urban Construction Group to cooperate in depth in the future, you must learn more from him!"

The others nodded like pounding garlic, and Lu Sifang's heart blossomed.

Thinking of what Xu Yiyang said to himself before, he said that the uniform of workers would look better and more formal, and he also said that camouflage would be safer on the construction site, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xu is honest and doesn't deceive me!"

......

Xu Yiyang had just sent 5,000 sets of military training uniforms to several construction sites one after another, and Lu Sifang's phone called.

As soon as he came up, Lu Sifang said excitedly: "Brother Xu, brother, I really thank you so much!"

Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "Brother Lu, which one are you singing?"

Lu Sifang said: "Oh, you don't know!"

As he spoke, he immediately recounted what had just happened.

As he spoke, he laughed excitedly, and he couldn't stop it.

Xu Yiyang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Then did your Party A give you any actual benefits?"

Lu Sifang said with a smile: "The boss of the group gave a mobile red flag, and a special 10,000 yuan safety award, and the most important thing is that it may become a high-quality partner of Greenland Urban Construction Group in the future, which will really be of great benefit!"

Xu Yiyang hurriedly said, "That's really congratulations, Brother Lu." ”

Lu Sifang smiled: "I still have to thank you! In addition, I have to congratulate you." ”

Xu Yiyang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Sifang said: "As soon as this matter came out, I, the other contractors on the construction site, and the project managers of some contractors, all came to me to inquire about camouflage uniforms, and I have already told them, twenty-five yuan a set, how much do you want, as soon as they heard this price, they immediately asked me to help them order a batch." ”

Xu Yiyang hurriedly asked, "How much?"

Lu Sifang said: "At present, there are about 50,000 sets. ”

Xu Yiyang exclaimed: "50,000 sets? Two sets for one person are enough for 25,000 workers, do you have so many people at that construction site?"

Lu Sifang said: "I'm afraid you're not stupid, which construction site can have 25,000 people? Do you think you're building the Three Gorges?"

Saying that, he added: "The main thing is that these contractors and contractors are not only on this construction site, but there are several project departments opened by Greenland Urban Construction Group, all over several places in Zhonghai, they think that 25 yuan is really cheap, and they may not be able to double it when they go to other places, so they want me to help book it." ”

Xu Yiyang suddenly realized.

Ordinary people just think that twenty-five sets are indeed very cheap, but they don't know what this price means.

This price means that it is already lower than the cost price of this set of clothes, and it is impossible to get new clothes at this price from any garment factory in the country.

At this stage, clothing is not cheaper than in 20 years, which Xu Yiyang realized as early as when he acquired Guancheng Garment.

Twenty years later, the textile industry is far more developed than it is now, and the degree of mechanization and automation is also high.

And, it is also important to note that the raw materials are cheaper.

Before 2000, cotton production capacity was not high, and it was too affected by cotton bollworm.

It has been reported that in 92 years alone, China lost more than 6 billion yuan because of cotton bollworm, and the industrial chain indirectly constituted a total loss of more than 10 billion.

Since the end of the 90s, Monsanto in the United States has developed genetically modified cotton plants, and we have developed insect-resistant cotton in China, and after 2000, the harm of cotton bollworm has been greatly reduced, so the yield of cotton has begun to rise.

So on the whole, the cost of current clothes is not cheap in all aspects, and the price is naturally not low.

This is similar to the automobile industry, now a very poor performance of Poussin, can change suites in small cities, twenty years later Poussin performance has not only been greatly improved, the price is also falling lower and lower, and the principle of clothing is the same.

The cost of cotton is very high now, and the cost of raw materials and production in an all-cotton garment cannot be reduced at all for twenty-five yuan.

Not to mention that a hat and belt are also included.

Therefore, a full set of camouflage uniforms for twenty-five yuan is like picking up on the ground in the eyes of other contractors.

Little did they know, however, that they could buy such clothes from students for ten dollars by walking a few more steps, climbing over a few more walls, and getting to a college campus.

This is information asymmetry.

Students don't know that workers on construction sites will need their own idle military training uniforms;

Workers at construction sites also don't know that good camouflage uniforms have a lot of idle in schools.

Whoever can detect the information asymmetry first and string the two ends of supply and demand together will be able to make money first.

However, this usually doesn't last long.

Because as soon as someone makes money by taking advantage of the information asymmetry, someone will immediately follow up.

In the end, this line of business is bound to go in two directions:

Or, the competition will get bigger and the profits will get lower and lower;

Alternatively, the degree of information asymmetry between supply and demand will gradually shrink until the information is equivalent.

Xu Yiyang knew a billionaire in his last life, this guy worked in Thailand in the early years, and he didn't make much money after working hard for several years.

After returning to China, he found that the domestic durian sold was simply sky-high, hundreds of yuan for any one, but he knew that this thing was cheap in Thailand, so he took advantage of his poor information and the convenience of staying in Thailand for a period of time and having a certain network of resources to pour durian from Thailand to China.

He was one of the first merchants to import durian from Thailand to China on a large scale, and he almost brought in the price of cabbage and sold it at the price of gold, which soon allowed him to amass a large fortune.

However, this window is very short, and in the second year of the durian season, there are more competitors.

In the third year, many e-commerce platforms began to import durians from Thailand and sell them on their own platforms, further suppressing the profit margins of middlemen like him.

As a result, his business became more and more difficult to do, and finally became a chicken rib, so he simply switched to other industries.

It can be seen that people who can grasp the asymmetry of information, as long as they dare to do it, they will not worry about making money.

Thinking that there were 50,000 sets of orders delivered to the door, Xu Yiyang didn't care about being happy, so he said to Lu Sifang: "Brother Lu, you tell them, no matter how much they want, we can supply him, but they must pay a 20% deposit first, and whoever pays the deposit first will get the goods first." ”

Lu Sifang said: "Okay, it is reasonable to collect the deposit, let me tell them." ”

Xu Yiyang instructed again: "There is another thing, Brother Lu, you tell them, let them tell their workers in advance, and the unit will help them purchase camouflage uniforms, so that they don't want to buy them themselves." ”

"Why?"

"Because we are also engaged in retail these days, if the workers of these units do not know, they buy it themselves, and the unit buys it for them after they go back, it will cause them to spend repeatedly, and it is not easy for the workers to make money. ”

Lu Sifang smiled: "Xiao Xu, you want to block the way of your competitors, right?"

Xu Yiyang didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "It seems that I can't hide your eyes from Brother Lu with this little caution." ”
