Chapter 417: Come to Pudong Again
The vice president of Jiuzhou Group is surnamed Qiu, who is a talent promoted from within the company, who once studied at Harvard Business School, and later worked at Citibank for a few years.
Su Mu saw him in his office, outside the office window was the river, a yacht was slowly passing by, and a middle-aged man in a black suit was standing at the bow of the boat, quite a bit of pointing out the country, in the eyes of ordinary people must be envious, and this scene is a little funny in Su Mu's eyes.
The 20-meter-long yacht, which is less than one-sixth the size of his one, came to Shanghai this time, and in addition to feeling the changes in the city, the people in the city have also undergone many changes.
In the past, the leisure of the city could only be seen from the elderly and children, and most of the young and middle-aged people who were the main labor force were in a hurry, and the price of goods rose sharply, and the pressure of life began to increase, forcing them to work hard for life.
The slogan of catching up with Europe and the United States has reappeared, but it is more rational, and the transformation from a planned economy to a characteristic market economy has always felt that it will soon catch up with Europe and the United States, or even surpass them!
Is it difficult?
Su Mu felt that it was very, very difficult, to put it mildly, it would not be possible for at least thirty or forty years.
If every Chinese resident has the same income as the United States, the world economy simply cannot afford it, and even if the gross domestic product is large, after being divided into more than one billion people, the value will become very small, which makes it extremely difficult to increase per capita income.
He is in business, and he also knows that the corporate tax is too high, and the enterprise tax is in the forefront of the world on the whole, and if he does not enjoy the tax exemption and tax reduction policy, he needs to pay a large amount of money every year, and the important industry is monopolized by the government, which seriously curbs the enthusiasm of capital.
There are also advantages of underdevelopment, at least the pressure of life is relatively small, and many places still live a self-sufficient agricultural economy, which does not make a lot of money, and wants less things, and the overall life pressure is very small. On the other side of the Xiangjiang River, the pressure is so great that even Su Mu, who lives in the United States, feels terrible, and it is hard to imagine how they managed to make the economy like that.
Manager Qiu is introducing the sales situation in the first seven months of this year to Su Mu at the moment, and a lot of information Su Mu has seen through the financial statements that since the start of the business, it has maintained growth every month, which is very rare, mainly because the market is too big, and there is a lack of stronger competitors.
The TVs, air conditioners, rice cookers, etc., produced by the home appliance factory, as well as motorcycles, have been in short supply for a long time, the market has opened up all of a sudden, people have money through work, and their purchasing power has begun to be released.
Before coming to Huaxia, Su Mu thought that he would be more or less affected by the economic crisis, but the fact is that many people don't even know what the economic crisis is, how to live their lives or how to live.
He put down a thick pile of documents and asked: "Have the sales channels been opened, I mean selling some low-priced goods produced in China to other countries." ”
"As soon as we hear from you in June, we will start and still go through the formalities, and if it goes well, the first batch of air conditioners will be loaded onto the port of Los Angeles in October.
The current production line is just enough to meet the domestic sales, and we are seizing the time to get a few more assembly lines. ”
"Well, we must pay attention to the replacement of products, we can't let the market have better products than our technology, home appliances should be energy-saving and durable, and daily necessities should be of good quality and low price.
The number of advertisements continues to increase, the market in large and medium-sized cities is saturated, this is not that there are still small towns, continue to develop, I studied the information you sent me, this piece is not done yet. ”
Su Mu said.
This time he came to Huaxia, mainly to inspect the new market, by the way, to relax, so successful that he didn't pursue it, he always felt that there was nothing to do, and a change of place could change his mood.
Vice President Mr. Qiu nodded and said: "We are arranging, the American technicians are very strict, and the outside technology is also good, and we are only responsible for production." ”
There weren't many things that Su Mu needed to explain, he just reminded him, changed the topic and asked, "Is there any movement in the recent reform of key industries?"
"It's still the one I reported to you last time, the pace is a little slow, but in order to join the WTO, reform is underway, and our strength is enough, and it is easier for us to get opportunities than others.
After Mr. Deng's death, the wind direction is not clear now, and I don't know if it will continue for the time being. ”
Su Mu's tone was very affirmative, and he interrupted him: "Yes, the door has been opened so big, it is not easy to close it again, remember to tell me if there is news, send me a fax two days ago, there is a market for dairy products?"
"Yes, whether it is baby milk powder, fresh milk, yogurt, this market has not yet been developed, and the two drinks introduced to the market by Jiuzhou Food Company are very hot, and you can invest some money to try it. Mr. Qiu said.
"Then try it, you guys are busy first, I'll go to the construction site to have a look, I just saw that the supporting works have also started. ”
"Row ......"
In this era, there are few competitors in business, except for some formalities that are more troublesome, Su Mu only needs to consider the direction of development, and the rest have employees to help solve it.
Driving to the other side of the river, the building has not yet been built, it has been booked for several floors, domestic and foreign enterprises have, Su Mu stipulates that only three years at a time, and then according to the market conditions to determine the rent price.
He bought a large piece of land in Lujiazui, supporting museums, shopping malls are also built there, when he bought land, there is only a development intention, now Pudong New Area has a factory, high-rise buildings are also being built, several Japanese two years ago tried to build a high-rise building near his high-rise building, because of their Southeast Asian economic crisis, just laid a foundation project was suspended, there was a problem with funds, and I don't know when to start construction.
Near the construction site, there are no other high-rise buildings except for the Oriental Pearl Tower, so Sumu, the world's tallest building under construction, is now particularly abrupt in the open space.
After getting out of the car, he took a hard hat and put it on his head, and asked the site director who had arrived in a hurry: "When will it be built? ”
The other party replied to him with a smile: "It will be completed in the first half of next year, and the decoration is the business of other companies, and it will only take ......about two years at most."
