Leaving the yard of his home, Zhao Hong is going to visit his teacher Song again at night, after all, this time when he comes back, passing by her house and not going in, it is also a little unreasonable, it seems that Kou Sirui has started school, and Uncle Kou has left the Internet café company, transferred to the industrial company of Zhao Song Group T City, and served as the vice president in charge of production, so there are many laid-off workers of Zhao Hong's parents' units in this project company, especially some non-technical positions, the salary is not very high, but at least after paying the insurance, you can also maintain a decent life, especially the special thing is that the factory is basically laid-off workers over 35 years old。

Someone once asked him this question curiously, "Why do we have to use older laid-off workers?" They have neither physical or intellectual superiority, nor do they have any future for training, and they all retire when they are 50 or 55 years old. Is the company paying so much just to save taxes?"

Zhao Hong smiled and shook his head, without explaining anything, after all, they are neither like him who was laid off in the past, so they don't understand the difficulties of laid-off workers, especially older laid-off workers, and they are not as successful as he is now, so they can't understand why he did this after he succeeded, but just because of feelings.

In addition to the gate of the yard, follow the alley all the way to the west. The alleys are crowded with vendors on both sides, and in the middle are a constant stream of people, not only from the neighborhood, but also from other places to buy necessities, as prices here are among the lowest in the area. The lowest income, the lowest house price, the lowest price, although the environment is a little noisy, but it also solves the needs of people's lives.

When I arrived at the door of the dormitory where Mr. Song lived, I caught up with the children from school, and the door was crowded with parents picking up their children. Zhao Hong remembered that Teacher Song didn't seem to have retired yet, was she still a teacher?

Along this small ring road, he and Lao Li slowly walked to the location where they parked, chatting all the way.

"The population here is already getting very old, and the dormitory is full of elderly people. On the contrary, young people and children are rare anymore. ”

Lao Li said with some sighs.

"yes, there are fewer job opportunities here. Therefore, young people need to go far away to work, and they are getting farther and farther away from here. If there is a suitable opportunity, everyone will buy a house outside and slowly leave here. Only some elderly people, people who live on pensions, can enjoy their old age here. ”

Zhao Hong replied helplessly.

"What will we do here in the future? If we all become old people, there will not be much shopping in this place, there will be less consumption, prices will be lower, and the economy will be worse. ”

Lao Li said with some concern.

Zhao Hong said helplessly, "What can be done about this? China implements the one-child policy, and there are originally more adults and fewer children, and now the oldest only child is already in his 20s. In the next ten years, when the adults in this kind of one-child family grow old, that will be the trouble! The couple will have to bear four old people and two children, which is terrible to think about!"

Lao Li said with a smile, "I found that many cities in China have the same big city diseases as Hong Kong City." Housing prices are too high, it is simply not for ordinary people to buy, and people are busy with work, career and study, and marriage is getting later and later, on the one hand, the basic requirements for marriage are becoming more and more difficult to achieve, on the other hand, the intensity of social competition is increasing, and the pressure is huge!"

Zhao Hong also smiled and said, "Not bad." That's what you're going to do in the future. Judging by the changes in some small situations around life, the future development direction of a certain region or industry. On the one hand, it can be collected through publicly available information. On the other hand, you should also experience it yourself, make your own judgments, and collect some more specific information and samples. ”

Lao Li happily accepted the boss's affirmation, after all, this is a relatively new job. And Zhao Hong thought about it and continued to explain.

In fact, this kind of economic information sector is available in many large companies abroad. It's just that we don't pay much attention here, and we don't pay much attention to that. But in fact, this information is very useful for us to judge future economic development trends and changes in the industry. For example, demographic changes can have a very large impact on changes in social needs. What kind of needs will the increase in society as a whole be caused by the increase in the number of elderly people? What impact will there be on the decrease in the number of young people? And where is the node of this change and where is the starting point of the change? There is a rough judgment. These are also some of the things that we can see a lot in country M. There is public information in some materials and journals, but this information is not very complete and incomplete in China, and we need to collect and organize it ourselves. ”

Lao Li said with some excitement, "And this kind of change is very obvious and very rapid in China." In particular, the number of middle-aged and elderly people is increasing and the number of adolescents is rapidly decreasing. Another is the rapid decline of the rural population and the large-scale migration to the cities, which will have a very large impact on the population structure of each region. This will also have a very large impact on the local economy. ”

Zhao Hong is very satisfied with Lao Li's thinking ability to quickly enter the new job role, in fact, this job is simple and simple, and complex is also a little complicated. The better he does, the more fundamental it will be for the future of the group company to judge the development direction. Although Zhao Hong can rely on his own memory to judge in the next ten years, the future development of the group company should be based on scientific data.

"For example, why do domestic wedding companies engage in free matchmaking activities? That's because, based on the situation at that time, many cities have appeared a lot of marriageable age men and women to find a difficult problem, everyone is busy with work, busy with studies and careers, but there is a problem with personal marriage, through free matchmaking, not only to provide public welfare services for unmarried men and women, but also to gather popularity for the company, by the way, you can publicize the characteristics and characteristics of the company's wedding services on a large scale, so that more people know the basic cost of this type of service, which is by no means high and unacceptable. ”

Lao Li said with some joy, "Housing agencies and cultural goods companies, this category also has this factor." With the improvement of people's economy, people's requirements for housing will also increase, not only the rental requirements of new urban people, but also the requirements for buying small houses after accumulation, and the requirements for urban people to replace large houses. As the number of children decreases, people will ask for more professional cultural supplies to meet their needs for the careful cultivation of children. ”

In fact, such a concept is not complicated, but quite simple, but people are generally accustomed to being busy with things, and rarely have time to look up at the distant scenery!

This phenomenon has a more interesting statement in later generations, and it is very well summarized.

"Life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distance!"
