Chapter 589: Change is coming
Tiger City Group Headquarters, Conference Room 1.
This is already the second day of the workshop.
There were three main topics in the two-day seminar.
The first is how to deal with China's accession to the World Trade Organization.
At present, the talks on joining the WTO have entered the final stage, and China will formally join the WTO at the end of the year.
This historic move will certainly have a huge impact on the Chinese and world markets.
The benefits of joining the WTO are numerous.
For example, it is conducive to the introduction of foreign capital and foreign advanced technology, the expansion of exports, the expansion of employment, the import of more foreign high-quality products, the enhancement of competitiveness, and the integration into the international market.
But there are also some people who are concerned about this, thinking that it is a wolf.
In the case of backward technology, once foreign enterprises enter, it will have a huge impact on China's industry and market. At the current level of domestic enterprises, they cannot compete with foreign companies.
"I think this matter is very unfavorable to us, joining the WTO is not only for us to go to the world, but also for foreign capital to enter China. At least in the current situation, we can't compete with foreigners. ”
Ruthi said.
Liu Ning put down the teacup.
"I don't agree with Mr. Lu's opinion. I think that's a good thing, and a great thing. There are certain reasons why others are afraid of foreign capital entering. But there is no need for us at Hucheng Group to be afraid of this matter at all. ”
"Mr. Liu, tell me your reasons. ”
Li Hucheng said.
Of course, Li Hucheng knew the huge benefits of joining the WTO, but he did not want to jump to conclusions. Even if it is said now, without fact-verification, it is actually not very convincing.
The best way to do this is to let everyone fully discuss it, express their opinions, and draw conclusions.
"Of course, there are reasons, first of all, our group's own example. ”
"At the beginning, none of us were from a professional economic background. But isn't business doing just as well?"
"Dealing with foreign businessmen, we didn't have much experience at the beginning, didn't we also build a joint venture with my uncle to build a clothing company? Now not only is it doing very well, but also has created its own clothing brand Yingshanhong. ”
"If Uncle He Qinglin is still a relative, and Maeda has a relationship with Zeng Laodao, then Ogawa Machinery has nothing to do with it, and it is basically a temporary negotiation and cooperation. ”
"The shield machine, we directly acquired Bill Company, the overall acquisition of the plant, technology, and patents, and it is currently running very successfully. ”
These facts show that whether it is foreign capital or foreign technology, there is nothing mysterious at all, nor is it terrible. ”
"When foreign capital enters, they value the advantages of our vast market and cheap and educated labor. Their purpose is to make money. As long as he wants to make money, he will cooperate with us. ”
As soon as Liu Ning's voice fell, Ren Minglu, president of Xiaochuan Machinery, picked up.
"I think what Mr. Liu said makes sense. Whether it is foreign capital or foreigners, there is nothing to be afraid of at all. ”
"In recent years, it has become commonplace for our middle and high-level personnel to go abroad. When I look at it in a foreign country, that's actually what it is. In many cases, it is not as advanced as it is in movies and television. ”
"We also deal with more foreigners, Germans, Rus, Orientals, they are not smarter than us. As long as we learn advanced things, we are not afraid to compete with foreigners. ”
"Ogawa Machinery and Maeda's Oriental people have all withdrawn, isn't our own people doing a good job? ”
"So, I think we can compete with foreigners. ”
Lu Fengxian also began to speak.
"I think what Mr. Liu and Mr. Ren said makes sense. After joining the WTO, not to mention anything else, just our Hucheng garment exports to the United States, tariffs will be reduced by more than 10%, which is undoubtedly good news for improving our competitiveness and expanding exports. ”
"Not only the rice market, but also the European market, the Oriental market, the North American market, and the South American market will be open to us. This is good for us to scale up production. ”
Next, Yu Danning, Lin Weiguo, Sun Yuanfei of Maeda Water Supply, Liu Bing of Hucheng Special Truck, and Xu Lili of Yingshan Red Clothing also spoke.
On the whole, although everyone is worried, they are basically optimistic and confident.
Over the years, the number of enterprises in the Tiger City Group has increased and grown, and so far, every business is profitable, except for the sewage treatment plant and the garbage treatment plant.
These people, each of them has a lot of experience going abroad, Li Hucheng going abroad is almost commonplace, Gao Erlin and He Xiao have been living, studying, and working in foreign countries for a long time, and there are foreigners living and working with themselves in Guanshan.
They have long been accustomed to foreigners, and they do not feel any mystery at all.
Compared with others, they have less reverence and admiration for foreigners, and basically have a level-headed attitude.
This is where the confidence of these people lies.
The second topic is the industrial upgrading of the standard parts industrial park.
On this issue, discussions began two years ago, and Tu Liming's company, Ren Mingjuan and Cao Xia's company have been at the forefront in this regard.
The smart components under the auspices of He Xiao have set a benchmark, and the technology has reached the international advanced level.
People within the Tiger City Group have no objection to this.
However, this is a long-term process, because the enterprises in the industrial park are not owned by the Hucheng Group, they are all independent economic entities, so they can only be promoted, guided and promoted.
This is also something that Li Hucheng wants to discuss with Yu Danping, Li Qianxun and others.
The third topic of the discussion is the issue of vigorously developing e-commerce entrepreneurship.
For this point, Li Hucheng is relatively lonely at the moment, because almost everyone, including Yu Danning, does not support his plan.
They felt that there was not much prospect for this, but Yun Wangshan of the Hyde Group was very supportive of Li Hucheng's plan.
Yunwangshan has begun to promote the e-commerce business model among the merchants in the specialty city.
The earliest concept and practice of e-commerce has appeared since 1999. Two years on, progress has been slow.
However, Li Hucheng knows that this is an important business model in the future. When it is developed, it will burst out with shocking power.
Now at this time, the cost is very low, and you will become the earliest entrepreneur and enjoy all the dividends of the e-commerce platform.
Therefore, despite almost everyone's opposition, Li Hucheng forcibly pushed forward with the plan of the entrepreneurship center.
Once Li Hucheng made up his mind, everyone's opposition no longer mattered.
Of course, this is Li Hucheng's words, but it is also related to his past achievements.
Every major plan in the past was made by Li Hucheng.
At the time, it seemed ahead of its time, even absurd, and people thought it was impossible.
But later it turned out that Li Hucheng was right every time.
Given this, the opposition is also not too strong. After expressing his opinion, he did not stop the plan of the startup center.
Some people even vaguely hope that this time will be the same as before, and Li Hucheng is still right.
