Chapter 259: The Conservatism of Capital

Is there any difference between Yangzhou and Xufu for the New Year? Li Chen didn't know, this hasn't happened yet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The first thing I know at present is that Yangzhou is not easy to sell this year.

I don't know if it came from Xufu, or that someone in Yangzhou has already done this, Li Chen's door god statue is not easy to sell, because there are printed door god statues in Yangzhou for sale.

Li Chen is more inclined to the latter. Although Yangzhou is full of local people, it is bustling and people come and go. However, Li Chen only launched the printed door god statue last year, so it should not be imitated so quickly. There are also imitations all over the street, and if you look at those identical door gods, you will know that they are printed.

Don't underestimate the conservatism of capital, the more commercially developed the country, the more conservative it is. The characteristics of capital are like this, businessmen must be objectively verified for technological innovation and any changes, and if they can not be changed, they will not change them, and if the old methods can be used, they will not use new methods.

Let's take two countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, one is now and the other is an economic power in the past, but these two countries are quite conservative. Take Britain as an example, why the second industrial revolution will be overtaken by Germany is because businessmen are too conservative and unwilling to adopt new technologies.

Don't look at what steam engines were improved by Watt, and then used in many places, the industrial revolution happened. In fact, it was a long process, and some mine owners, like some miners, would rather use 500 horses to pump water than switch to a steam engine.

What about the United States? Americans are not conservative. The Americans didn't play a lot of commercial tricks, like that kind of subprime mortgage, which killed the whole world. Actually, that's your misunderstanding at all.

Take TV shows as an example, many programs on American TV are very popular, such as reality shows, talent shows and so on. But in reality? These were all played by other countries first, and then bold American producers introduced this program, which had good ratings in foreign countries, to the United States. You will feel that the United States appeared first, and it is only because entertainment is very developed there and many people pay attention to it that it will lead to this illusion.

Is it dangerous to subprime mortgages like that? Not at all. You say it's not dangerous, but it's not dangerous, why are so many people trapped, and the pit in the world can't be slowed down for a few years.

For those capitalists, it is not dangerous at all. Because they have already passed the danger onto the people. They would rather pass on the danger to the people and to some unsuspecting enterprises and funds by sacrificing some profits, so as to share the risk.

You say, it's a win-win situation? To enjoy profits, should you take risks? Naive.. ..., first of all, when you buy it, you don't know it's risky. Unwitting foreign investment institutions have been deceived by credit rating agencies in the United States, thinking that this is a low-risk and profitable business. It's stupid, with such a good business, it's your turn.

Secondly, Is the profit the big head? Wrong, the profits are all divided, what does the bank make? Take the casino as an example, if you go to Las Vegas, if you bet big and you win, the casino may lose a little.

However, financial institutions are more clever than casinos, they simply let customers bet, and they take fees. Casinos just let some customers who have a lot of money bet against each other, and they take a commission. Financial institutions are simply taking that fee, no matter which side makes money, they will never lose.

Don't look at the subprime mortgage storm in the United States, how much damage it has caused, in fact, there are very few financial institutions in the United States that have really collapsed and gone bankrupt because of this. Either he received financial aid from the U.S. government, or he had already escaped.

Where does the money come from? On the one hand, the American people, on the other hand, the whole world will pay for it, anyway, when the money printing press is turned on, the dollar will come. Produced by the U.S. government, genuine money guaranteed.

After talking for a long time, in fact, what I am asking for is one, and in the same way, it can be proved that capital is conservative. Yangzhou is also a place with developed capital, and one year is not enough time for others to boldly imitate the printing door god, otherwise why do you think Li Chen would come forward.

Because the door gods are all over the street, the Spring Festival couplets are not easy to sell, and no one has printed the Spring Festival couplets yet. Then there are not many people who are willing to approve the Spring Festival couplets to sell, even if Li Chen gives up a lot of profit margins, no one still dares, I am afraid of losing money.

Even if Li Chen is willing to let them pay for the goods first, and only calculate the cost if they sell it first, but if they don't sell it, it won't be counted, and there are still not many people who are willing to take it. If it really can't be sold, it takes up a position, and it is used to return the trouble, not to mention the delay, what if Li Chen finds an excuse and wants them to buy it?

In the end, Li Chen had no choice but to come forward in person to find someone and let them set up a stall to sell door gods and Spring Festival couplets. Even so, these people chose the former between a fixed daily wage or a sale commission.

Li Chen walked around the street, checked the status of those selling points, asked them if they had any problems, checked their sales status, and encouraged them to sell well, in addition to a fixed daily salary, there would be bonuses. Then I went somewhere else.

He took people to buy some New Year's goods, and then went to the pawnshop to buy clothes. In fact, Li Chen originally planned to pick up some old clothes, in order to promote the virtue of frugality, and also to save money.

He remembers that when he was young, his family was poor, and his mother would pick up some old clothes that people didn't want to wear, either her own or her children's.

It's just that in the Tang Dynasty, he found that this was not feasible, and the society in the Tang Dynasty was not so developed, and the people would not throw away clothes, and they would wear as much as they could. You can't wear it, otherwise you can give it away or sell it to a pawnshop. So he later went to a pawnshop and bought it.

At first, when he only had a few children, he could let them buy two new clothes each, but now that there are more children, each person is buying two, and the cost is relatively large from head to toe. It is now the end of the year, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the income of the theater is high, but the expenses are also large, so he can only find a tailor, make a new set for each person, and then buy a few sets of clothes at the pawnshop.

'How's it going?' When you come to the tailor's shop, you don't just want the tailor to measure the child's figure. He also laid down something at the tailor.

'Ouch, you're here. Seeing Li Chen coming, the shopkeeper of the tailor shop hurriedly came out to greet him, "The thing is behind, you can take a look first to see if it is satisfactory." ’

If we don't like it, we have to revise it quickly. The shopkeeper wiped his sweat, "Your business, this is the first time that the small shop has received it." ’

'Haha, soon there will be a second, a third. Although the characteristics of capital are conservative, Li Chen knows that the speed of their change is also the fastest, well, it is not so much about change, but as long as he succeeds, I am afraid that many people will rush to follow up, and this store will definitely not only do his business in the future.
