Chapter 589: Ningjiang City under the Financial Crisis (Second Update)

The shadow of a new round of economic crisis still looms over the world.

One day in mid-September, a piece of news caused a global sensation.

A white-collar worker in New York, USA, shot and killed his family after losing his job, and then committed suicide.

This tragic incident instantly became the focus of the world.

The white-collar workers on Wall Street in New York, this is a profession that many office workers envy, but still under this wave of economic crisis that has swept the world, they can't resist the pressure and choose to end their lives.

When Liu Yun saw this news, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This scene still happened, just like in the previous life.

As the world's strongest economy, the negative impact of the financial crisis that broke out in the United States cannot be confined to the country.

In today's era of economic globalization, no country's economy can transcend the world and exist independently.

On the Chinese side, the excitement of successfully hosting the most successful Olympics in history has not yet subsided, and the storm of the financial crisis is surging.

Many companies can only tighten the monetary system, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and many employees are also panicked, worried that the big knife of layoffs will be waved at them.

A well-known company even issued a well-known slogan: live.

One day in late September, when Liu Yun was preparing to separate his family from Weibo and Tieba, he received a call from Zheng Jun, the mayor of Ningjiang City.

"Old senior. Liu Yun answered the phone.

In private, without outsiders, the two have always maintained such a title.

Ningjiang was originally a predominantly brick-and-mortar city, and it was not expected that in this quasi-first-tier city, known as the Internet desert, Yoyo would be born and become a household name giant company.

Zheng Jun originally supported Youyou in the hope that Ningjiang's industry could be diversified, and it was a surprise to have a slightly large-scale Internet company.

After all, at that time, the Internet in Huaxia was in the era when the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were competing with each other, and there were many enterprises under the Seven Heroes who were not weak, and Youyou was just an ordinary member of them.

Who would have thought that in just four years, all this has changed dramatically, and Yoyo has stood out and become the meaning of the Big Four, and even once there was a leading trend.

On the other end of the phone, Zheng Jun's hearty laughter came: "Xiaoliu, the current company is getting bigger and bigger, and you are already the man of the year in the whole of China." ”

Only two years ago, Zheng Jun still looked up at Liu Yun with a lofty attitude, but now he has to treat him with equal eyes, and even at some point, he has to lower his posture.

For example, he hopes that the main body of Youyou will still stay in Ningjiang, which is the most glorious stroke of his ruling career, so the initiative will naturally be in the hands of the other party.

Liu Yun felt that the mayor should not go to the Three Treasures Hall without anything, so he said: "Old senior, now I am walking on thin ice. The bigger the company does, the greater the pressure on it, and I have to deal with the negative news that broke out not long ago. ”

After hearing this, Zheng Jun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xiaoliu, your reaction and handling methods afterwards are very decisive and decent. This series of measures has won back a lot of prestige for Yoyo. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I don't agree with Baidu's behavior, it's right to make money, but the moral bottom line must be kept." For example, although the assessment of GDP is very important, the illegal and criminal enterprises should still be dealt with, even if it affects the economic output value. ”

Youyou is close in front of him, and Baidu is far away in the sky, he belittled Baidu, which has nothing to do with him, and pulled into a relationship with Liu Yun, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Yun replied: "The old senior is right, stick to the bottom line of morality, which is also the code of conduct of our company. ”

"Hey~" Zheng Jun suddenly sighed lightly without warning, and Liu Yun on the other end of the phone couldn't help but jump his eyebrows, and secretly said that he was going to cut to the chase.

"Xiaoliu!" Zheng Jun took off a long voice, "The economy has been very sluggish since 08, I thought that the economy would be better if the Olympics were held, but it turned out that this form was even more severe." ”

The role played by the Olympics in just half a month for the entire economic form can only be said to be like tickling an itch and insignificant.

"Old senior. Liu Yun thought for a while and said, "This economic crisis has been showing signs in the United States since last year. This economic crisis, also known as the subprime mortgage crisis, was centered in the United States and spread to other countries. ”

The so-called subprime mortgage loan is a subprime mortgage loan, which is a housing mortgage loan for individuals with poor credit status, no proof of income and proof of repayment ability, and other heavy debts.

Liu Yun continued: "The essential cause of the financial crisis is the over-indebtedness of European and American countries. The debt in the United States is concentrated in households, borrowing too much money, the income cannot repay the borrowed money, the monthly payment cannot be paid, the family will go bankrupt, and the bank will take the house and auction it. When there are a lot of auctions, real estate prices plummet, and bank asset prices fall, they go out of business. ”

Zheng Jun thought of some of the news he had seen and said with his own opinion: "The Fed's previous loose monetary policy stimulated consumption, a large amount of borrowed capital poured into the market, more than household income can bear, and the price of real estate in the United States doubled, creating a bubble." Excessive mortgages have crushed many families. The bank then took the house back for auction to pay off the debt, causing a collapse in the real estate market. ”

"That's pretty much it. Liu Yun nodded and said, "Of course, the economic crisis in the United States will not only stay in their homeland, but will inevitably spread to the whole world. ”

Zheng Jun showed a helpless look and said, "They are used to being domineering. No, our enterprises in Ningjiang have also suffered from it. The manufacturing sector is sluggish, and the real estate sector is also sluggish. It is now September, and a large number of students have graduated and entered the job search field, and the employment pressure is also very huge. ”

Liu Yun's heart moved, but he said: "Industry is not good. ”

Of course, it's not good to do, on one side there is a financial crisis, and on the other side there is a ...... Booming e-commerce.

"But~" Zheng Jun said meaningfully, "You guys are here, the scenery is unique." ”

The key point is here~

Liu Yun took a deep breath and replied with a smile: "Old senior, there is such a saying in our industry that Internet companies are only 3 months away from bankruptcy. It's not going to be this good forever. ”

Zheng Jun didn't listen to Liu Yun's nonsense, and said: "Come less, now in Ningjiang City, the least pressure to survive is you Youyou, not to mention that your company still has branches in Shanghai and Hangzhou." ”

After hearing this, Liu Yun silently rolled his eyes. This guy seems to have been haunted by moving part of Yoyo's business to Hangzhou and Shanghai.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Old senior, are you in any trouble?"

Zheng Jun sighed lightly: "Xiaoliu, there are many factories that have been suspended and even bankrupt in Ningjiang City recently, many employees have not been compensated, and they have been making trouble, even if they are not unemployed and stay at home, they can only get a basic salary, which is not enough for the living expenses of the family." ”

Liu Yun replied: "I have heard about this. ”

But he had no interest in solving this problem.

"Koyanagi. Zheng Jun hesitated and continued, "You don't have to worry, but I think that because of the economic crisis, the value of many factories has dropped a lot. ”

It is true that these factories on the verge of closure are not worth much, but it is not only the factories that Yoyo wants to take over, but also the many workers behind it, who are older and less skilled, but whose salaries are not very cheap.

It's a big hassle and even a burden.

Liu Yun bought the factory of Chen Zifeng's father, a college classmate, because this factory, which has experience in mobile phone OEM, is also among the best in Shandong Province.

The most important thing is that at that time, he had already made up his mind to enter the smartphone industry and lay out the future mobile Internet, so these moves were inevitable.

One mobile phone production factory is enough, why does he want so much?

He sympathizes with the unemployed, unemployed workers, but that doesn't mean he has to lend a helping hand.

He is a businessman, but he is not a good person, and his family history is also innocent and transparent, and there is nothing to be washed away, which is fundamentally different from those real estate companies.

Zheng Jun saw that Liu Yun fell into deep thought, guessed that the other party was a little reluctant, and knew that he couldn't push too hard, in case the other party was dissatisfied, he directly moved Youyou to Hangzhou or Shanghai, which became a stain on his political career, and it was too late to cry.

Yoyo's revenue is not high compared with some traditional large-scale industrial companies in Ningjiang, but the profit margin is amazing, and the valuation is also rising.

For example, Yoyo's profit in the first half of 2008 exceeded 5 billion yuan, while the second-ranked Youngor company had a profit of only about 500 million.

So Zheng Jun thought about it and could only find Liu Yun. What's more, the private relationship between the two is not bad.

Sincerity is paramount!

"Xiaoyanagi, if you have any difficulties, you can say it, you can mention whatever conditions you want, and if you can meet it, I will try to meet it. Zheng Jun also said cautiously.

After hearing this, Liu Yun wanted to say: The conditions you can meet are usually not what I need, and most of the conditions I propose cannot be met by you.

Youyou has already asked the bank for a loan of 5 billion, and it is not impossible to continue the loan, but Liu Yun feels that it is of little significance for the time being.

The first choice is that if there is not too much real estate to mortgage, the loan that can be obtained is only a few hundred million, not to mention that as an Internet company standing at the top of the pyramid, if you want to raise money, you only need Liu Yun to wave her hand gently, and venture capital companies are everywhere.

Second, the development of the company should deeply remember that there is a degree of relaxation.

There is a good saying: if you step too fast, it is easy to pull the egg.

Many companies have successfully dug the first pot of gold, and the boss who is so happy is often disoriented, and even naively thinks that he is really the only real dragon son in a million, so he is ready to speed up the pace of development of the company.

In the end, the company expanded too fast, which led to the breakdown of the capital flow, and he saw his tall building rise and his building collapsed.

Such bloody education is countless.

In Liu Yun's opinion, today's Youyou has passed the stage of survival, so the desire to survive does not need to be so strong.

You can't beat Penguin, Ali, or even Baidu in one go, but it's the key to be steady and steady, and every step is the key.

"Yoyo is a private company, and it will always be on its own. All external policy assistance is just the icing on the cake!"

All along, Liu Yun has always used this sentence to constantly warn himself.

"Old senior, I haven't thought of what conditions you need to put forward here. Between the flashes of light, many thoughts flashed through Liu Yun's mind, "The problems of these factories are not something that can be solved overnight. If we can, let's make an appointment to visit those factories together. ”

This is a delaying tactic, if you feel disappointed after watching it, you will find another reason to shirk it, but the scene work still needs to be done in place.

"Okay!" Zheng Jun also reacted quickly, "Then we'll make an appointment to take a look." ”

The two chatted for a while and then hung up.

And Liu Yun was also silently thinking: If he really took over these factories, he should put forward some conditions.
