551【Made in China】
Hearing the news of pregnancy, Song Weiyang and Lin Zhuoyun's parents quickly flew to Shenghai from their hometown.
Song Shumin went back after a little condolence, Guo Xiaolan and Lin's father and mother lived here, and Song Weiyang also rented two houses to settle down. In the end, I simply bought these two houses, so that the elders could live for as long as they wanted, and they could make a profit after selling them every few years anyway.
But the old man still only stayed for about half a month, because he was not used to living in a big city.
By the time they left, Legends had ended its open beta and was charging. Although the number of concurrent users of the game dropped due to the fee, it soared again a few days later - the popularity was completely unexpected by the operation team, and due to insufficient preparation, many players in small cities could not buy point cards, and some even hoarded point cards in big cities to make a profit.
This game alone can bring Song Weiyang a net profit of 300,000 yuan every day, and this number is still rising. Judging from the current form, at most, during the Spring Festival, the daily net profit of "Legend" can reach 500,000 yuan.
Fortunately, Shenjian Network Technology Company does not need to announce its financial report, otherwise it will inevitably cause a national sensation, because this kind of business is faster than grabbing money.
Even if you don't know how much Legends is making, the gaming industry is still shocked by it, because the number of people online in Legends may already be more than all other games combined. If you walk into an Internet café, more than 80% of the computers are running Legends, and some Internet cafes are even full of Legends players.
Many people don't play games or computers because they don't have the money to access the internet. But these people love to go to Internet cafes, and they don't do anything but watch, and they can watch others surf the Internet for a day. It is normal for there to be six or seven onlookers standing behind an Internet café customer, and when the whole Internet café is playing a game, these spectators will soon be itchy and have a little spare money to sit down and experience it.
They can't copy and paste, they can't send emails to chat about QQ, they can't browse the web to watch the news, and their only purpose is to play Legend.
If this momentum continues, the number of players of "Legend" is likely to exceed the number of Chinese netizens.
At the same time, someone posted a post questioning the alleged plagiarism of the South Korean online game "The Legend of Mir 2", and the two South Korean companies involved in the development also sent lawyers' letters. Song Weiyang ignored it at all, the other party could sue if he wanted to, not to mention that the law is not sound now, even if it is more than ten years later, he is not afraid.
Let's put it this way, there was a game copycat "Hearthstone" in later generations, and even the text icons, colors, and structure of the game name were copied, but the font was changed and the direction of rotation of Hearthstone was reversed, and Blizzard was stunned that the Chinese company did not win. Because the art is different, the source code is different, and the gameplay is not violated, as long as the icons are not exactly the same, there can be various interpretations.
Not to mention how the lawsuit is fought, the attention aroused by "Legend" has made domestic manufacturers begin to frantically contact Korean companies. The reason is very simple, the simple and crude skin-changing game of "Legend" can easily make money every day, and maybe other Korean online games can also be popular.
……
Doudou worshiped the seven masters in one go, and constrained himself to only play games for one hour a day, and spent the rest of his free time learning programming.
After this girl got started a little, she actually thought about writing the "Legend" plug-in, and asked the teacher directly if she didn't understand something, and she really got the plug-in out after more than a month. It's not a perverted plug-in.,It's just an automatic run.,You can complete the operation by clicking on the minimap.。
While Doudou was working hard, China finally faced up to joining the World Trade Organization.
Shenzhou Technology is quite normal here, and the foreign trade department of Xifeng Company is already busy. In other words, the low-end manufacturing enterprises that have the ability to do exports in the country have been busy going crazy, and even foreign dealers have taken the initiative to come to contact.
In the past, during the negotiations, it was stipulated that China's tariffs must be reduced year by year, and there was a strict plan for how many percentage points they would fall each year. In the same way, if China exports goods to other member countries, the other party's tariffs will also be reduced.
As far as the canned food industry is concerned, even if the tariffs are not reduced, Europe and the United States have already anti-dumped several times. The U.S. anti-dumping lawsuit against canned Chinese mushrooms is still pending, and the lawsuit will last for 11 years before it comes to fruition, because canned Chinese mushrooms captured 60 percent of the U.S. market three years ago.
Now that the tariffs have been lowered, the price of canned Chinese cabbage, which is already at the price of cabbage, has become even lower when it is sold to the United States.
We can see the clues from the output of canned food in China, which in 2001 totaled more than 1.7 million tons, and in 2002 it directly became more than 2.2 million tons. This is also because of the recession of the canning industry in the past few years, and the canning factories have insufficient production capacity, so they can only frantically build new production lines while receiving orders.
Ten years later, China's canned food will exceed 10 million tons of products a year, most of which are sold to Europe, the United States and the Japanese benzene market, and the price is getting lower and lower. Foreign canned food manufacturers have been squeezed to death countless times, and in another three years, the EU will take restrictive measures against China's canned citrus, restricting more and more of the restrictions for several years, and finally simply filing an anti-dumping lawsuit.
Xifeng Company has long been prepared for this, and has built three canning production lines specifically for export in advance, taking advantage of the price advantage to continue to expand the market share in Europe and the United States.
In 2001, the world was talking about China, and China's accession to the WTO would lead to China's economic collapse prevailing. But in 2002, the whole world began to talk about a phrase - made in China. It was also from this year that a true joke repeatedly circulated in society: someone travels abroad, brings back foreign fashionable goods, and goes home to take a look - Made in China.
There are two main factors that contribute to this result:
First, China continues to carry out reform and opening up, and continues to attract investment with preferential policies. From 1990 to 2000, Asia as a whole absorbed $510 billion in investment, and Chinese mainland alone absorbed $230 billion, accounting for 45% of Asia's total, and factories in all developed countries were moving to China.
The second is cheap and high-quality labor. No other country in the world, with the exception of China, has such an abundance of cheap labor with basic education. Joining the WTO is not only as simple as reducing tariffs, but also a series of preferential trade policies, after the accumulation of the previous 20 years, after the full opening of the foreign market, the competitiveness of "Made in China" has been fully revealed.
Take Wal-Mart, the global retail hegemon, for example, less than a month after China's accession to the WTO, it directly moved its Asian sourcing center to Shenzhen. Countless goods are converging from all over the country to the Special Economic Zone, and then sold through Wal-Mart to the entire Asian market, and these foreign businessmen can make a good calculation.
Let's talk about the power of cheap labor in China, and take Galanz as an example.
The main component of the microwave oven is the table Yaqi, Japanese benzene products cost more than 20 US dollars, European and American products need more than 30 US dollars, European and American companies are made to die by Japanese benzene. 、
So Galanz negotiated with European and American companies, you bring me the microwave oven to make, what is your previous output, I will give you 8 US dollars for each finished product - this is equivalent to helping people OEM, not only do not charge OEM fees, but also give people money in turn.
European and American companies, which have been squeezed into bankruptcy by Japanese companies, are very happy to move their production lines. Chinese workers work in three shifts and spend less than two days a week to meet the output of European and American brands. The remaining five days are equivalent to using the production line free of charge to produce Galanz's own microwave ovens, and the production capacity is rapidly expanded.
Japanese companies were quickly troubled by Galanz's ultra-low price, so they went to Japanese benzene manufacturers: You can move the production line here, and for each microwave oven produced, I will not only not charge OEM fees, but also give you a subsidy of 5 US dollars.
In this way, many microwave oven manufacturers in Europe, America and Japan have handed over their production lines to Galanz, and they only need to be responsible for sales, and then lie down and count the money. By 2002, Galanz's microwave oven production had accounted for one-third of the global share.
And when Galanz cancels the OEM contract and turns its face and denies people, it will be the death date of benzene manufacturers in Europe, America and Japan. Because they have already laid off their workers, the production workshop has long been abandoned, and it is not even easy to recruit workshop management talents.
Let's talk about Barbie dolls, the retail price in North America is $20, while Barbie dolls made in China are only $1 on the fob. This $1 actually includes manufacturing costs, channel costs, various taxes, and the profits of manufacturers and distributors, how do you let their American counterparts compete?
China's rise is the result of the collection of tears and sweat of the people at the bottom of China.
There is a management scientist named Kenichi Ohmae in Japan, who was one of the proponents of the "China collapse theory" and firmly believed that China would be doomed in 2001. In 2002, he published a book called "China Impact", in which he wrote: "After flying to China for the 50th time, I am now the most active advocate of China's economic prosperity theory. In the next decade, the most important issue for the world will be how to get along with a strong China. ”
Kenichi Ohmae's change in attitude is not only due to the rapid growth of China's exports, but also to the fact that the speed at which China is absorbing foreign capital is also increasing.
China's accession to the WTO has given investors from all over the world more confidence. In 2002 alone, more than 30,000 foreign-invested enterprises were set up, attracting $50 billion in foreign investment, equivalent to one-fifth of the previous decade combined. In other words, it is equivalent to one-tenth of the total foreign investment attracted by all of Asia in the 90s.
The 15-year-long WTO accession negotiations have not disappointed the Chinese, and the results have been countless times better than expected!
In the midst of the national jubilation, Jianlibao has entered a dead end.
Due to the strong rise of Xifeng Company, Jianlibao is even worse than in history, and the profits and taxes paid this year are less than 15 million yuan.
The Sanshui government held a meeting in the middle of the year to discuss, and 90% of the people advocated selling Jianlibao, and it must not be sold to Li Jingwei. Now that the year-end financial report is rotten like that, it has strengthened the determination of the local government, and quietly found a Singapore company, intending to sell 100% of the shares at a price of 380 million yuan, including the shares of workers and the management team, and by the way, the brand value of Jianlibao was assessed as zero.
After Li Jingwei learned the news, he quickly contacted the media to report it. For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, this was once China's first national brand, what the hell is the brand valuation of zero? What the hell is it that only sells for 380 million? The cost of Jianlibao building is more than 380 million!
The leaders of Sanshui could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, so they could only give up negotiations with Singaporean businessmen, and secretly contacted Xifeng and Wahaha again.
Li Jingwei personally came to the door, communicated with Yang Xin and Boss Zong, and persuaded Xifeng and Wahaha to give up the acquisition in a threatening tone. After getting the promise, Li Jingwei returned to Sanshui to have a showdown with the leaders and decided to buy all the shares of Jianlibao at a price of 450 million.
Just when Li Jingwei was determined to win, he was invited to dinner by the leaders, and then was notified: "We have decided to sell 75% of Jianlibao's government shares to 'Zhejiang Guotou' at a price of 338 million yuan." ”
Li Jingwei was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but the leaders didn't want to talk much at all, so they directly announced the news in the newspaper the next day, and set the time for the official signing.
At this moment, Li Jingwei received a phone call: "Mr. Li, I am Song Weiyang, I just saw the news in the newspaper, how did you agree to sell Jianlibao to 'Zhejiang Guotou'?"
"Who said I agreed? I've been opposing it, but it's invalid!" Li Jingwei wanted to cry without tears.
Song Weiyang said: "'Zhejiang Guotou' has never done anything in the beverage industry, they themselves are all a mess, and Jianlibao will be killed by them sooner or later." You can't bear to see the business you founded be ruined in the hands of those capital speculators?"
Li Jingwei said: "What else can I do?"
Song Weiyang immediately showed his fox tail: "If Xifeng is willing to take over Jianlibao, can you cooperate?"
Li Jingwei was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Xifeng buys it, it's better than buying it from 'Zhejiang Guotou'." I only have one request, just like Xifeng's acquisition of Yinlu, Jianlibao will be a sub-group of Xifeng in the future, you can send management personnel over, but Jianlibao still has to be helmed by me. ”
"No, I can't. Song Weiyang flatly refused.
"Why can Yinlu can, but Jianlibao can't?" Li Jingwei said angrily.
Song Weiyang said: "Xifeng can adjust the management of Yinlu at will, can it be like this in Jianlibao? With your character as President Li, if any of your henchmen is moved, I am afraid that they will come directly to me for theory." In Jianlibao, you are the emperor, you are the emperor, how can you ask Xifeng to send someone to receive it?"
"I ......" Li Jingwei wanted to defend himself, but he was suddenly speechless.
Song Weiyang said: "You and your team can retain 25% of Jianlibao's shares. It can also be exchanged for equivalent shares of Xifeng, and it can be converted into cash, but you have to leave the management! For your mercy, I can nominate you as a director of Xifeng, and you will not have voting rights. You can also be appointed as the vice president of Jianlibao Group, which also has no real power. In addition, I promise that I will not hide the brand of Jianlibao, but also will redo Jianlibao, as long as Xifeng does not fall, Jianlibao will continue to do. ”
Li Jingwei's tongue was dry, and he swallowed saliva and said, "I'll think about it again." ”
Song Weiyang said: "There are only a few days left before the signing date announced by the Sanshui government, so there is not much time for you to think about it. ”
", Lao Tzu did it!" Li Jingwei gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, we can't let those officials succeed, and we can't let the grandsons of 'Zhejiang Guotou' feel better!"
Li Jingwei has been fundraising during this time, wanting to buy 75% of the local government's equity, and the sudden killing of "Zhejiang Guotou" is equivalent to a backstab, and it is strange that he doesn't hate itchy. Anyway, it's all for sale, so why not sell it to yourself that is slightly pleasing to the eye, and all the guys who make you unhappy eat!
