1092 Ever had a chicken?
"In my opinion, the crossroads market and the Great Ocean Road market should not become rivals, let alone fight each other's price wars to compete for the market, but should complement each other and support each other to become bigger and bigger.
I've probably calculated that if all the immigrants from Xinjiang Province arrive next year, the purchasing power of all the security zones and self-management zones will be enough for three or four medium-sized markets to operate, and this is not counting the purchasing power of the official residents in the bases.
Since everyone can eat enough, why should it be so unpleasant. In fact, what we lack is not customer traffic, but customers with purchasing power and more product variety.
Whether it's the Great Ocean Road Market or the Crossroads Market, there are too few types of goods at the moment. If you want to increase your turnover, it is a stupid way to monopolize the market by killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself, so it is better to find a way to increase the variety of goods. β
Hong Tao's explanation sounds quite open-minded and high-grade, but in fact, it is all big truths, everyone understands it, but the real reason he didn't say, it's not that he doesn't want to fight, but he can't fight for the time being.
It seems that the crossroads market is developing very rapidly, and there are faint signs of keeping pace with the Great Ocean Road market, but in fact, the real strength of the two markets is still far apart, which is an illusion that only looks at the surface phenomenon and ignores the essence.
It's like a marathon, starting from the start to five kilometers is the first step. This stage is not difficult, as long as you are healthy and usually like to exercise, most people can do it relatively easily.
From 5 km to 15 km is the second step, this stage is not very easy, in addition to physical health and exercise, you also have to have strong endurance and running skills, most people who have not trained for a long time can not do it.
From fifteen to thirty kilometers is counted as the third step. At this time, the requirements are more stringent, even if the body and training are up to standard, and the weather, form and opponent factors have to be taken into account, and only a very few people can complete it.
From 30 kilometers to the end of the whole course is the fourth step, at this time all external factors are no longer enough to support you to continue running, you must add a psychology, always remind yourself, force yourself to exceed the limit.
There is also a very important part, rhythm. Different people's physical fitness, training methods, and running habits are different, some people are used to the first half of the force, and some people like to come from behind.
You can't see that others are running faster than you, and you panic and quicken your pace. That doesn't do you any good except that you can get close to or surpass your opponent for a short period of time. Once your rhythm is disrupted, you will inevitably lose your stamina in the future, and in the end, not only will you not catch up, but you will be thrown farther away.
Comparatively speaking, after seven or eight years of careful operation, the Great Ocean Road Market has reached the third step in terms of supply, merchants and passenger flow, and is attacking the end line.
The crossroads market has been open for less than half a year, and the superficial prosperity is just that the commodities are more distinctive, plus the policies given in the self-management zone are more relaxed, and the taxes are lower, at most it has just entered the second stage.
But as long as we calculate the flow of water and the types of goods in the two markets, we can clearly understand that as soon as the freshness passes, the false prosperity of the crossroads market will be annealed, and the competition will be the real strength.
Many things in the world are regular, tortoise and rabbit races, corner overtaking do exist, but they are special circumstances and cannot be regarded as the norm. Only by persevering at your own pace and not being led astray by others can you achieve the ultimate victory. Rushing for quick success, rejoicing in great success, and being blindly optimistic are all stupid practices.
The ancients knew that knowing oneself and knowing the other side could win all battles. There are three important points here, first you have to know how much energy you have, then you have to know the strength of your opponent, and finally draw the right conclusion.
Of the three priorities, the first is the most difficult to achieve. People will habitually overestimate their own abilities, especially when the wind is smooth, they always feel that they are close to being invincible in the world, and their opponents are already vulnerable.
"Then do you think the government will wait for the success of the pilot of the self-management zone to fully open the red zone?"
Since Hong Tao personally said that there is no possibility of vicious competition between the two markets at present, Bai Side believes ninety percent, and if he doesn't believe it, he does have credibility in serious matters, and has never fooled his partners so far.
But he had another idea, which was to change the situation if the red zone was likely to be fully opened in the near future. When the time comes, both markets will have sufficient supply, how to get along?
"Have you ever had chickens?"
"......" Bai Side didn't quite understand the big picture of chatting, why did he suddenly talk about raising livestock, and shook his head blankly.
"I haven't raised it either, but during the rescue team period, there was a team member who used to raise it at home, and when he was fine, he talked about the details. There are two types of chickens on the market, free-range chickens and large-scale farmed chickens. Everyone knows that the chicken is delicious and has high nutritional value, but farmed chickens occupy the vast majority of the market.
The reason is very simple, the slaughter cycle of breeding chickens is short, and it can be marketed in more than a month, and the chickens have to go to market for at least one year. For managers, breeding chickens are easy to manage, low cost, although the unit price is low, can not stand the large number.
So how do they get the chickens out of the slaughter in just over a month? The solution is very simple, lock up in the chicken coop, watch less, listen less, and don't think about anything when you are full of food and drink.
The vast majority of farmed chickens never touch the earth with their feet from birth to death, and they never even see the sun. In their cognition, the chicken coop is the world, the chicken coop is the earth, and the light bulb is the sun.
If you let them out to breed in the free-range, you can see the real world, and your feet will be on the earth and bask in the sun. It won't be long before all these chickens refuse to go back to the coop to grow meat, some will run away, some will be eaten by wild animals, it will be very troublesome to manage, and the cost will climb like a rocket.
If you were the manager of a chicken coop, what kind of farming would you choose? β
Hong Tao thinks it is possible to open up the red zone, but it seems unlikely that the alliance government will take the initiative to open up. This may not seem like a big deal, but it actually goes straight to the point. It is a dilemma to change who sits in the positions of Landi and Chuqiu.
ββ¦β¦ Since we're all chickens, why do you want to come back and do so many things that people don't like to look down on? After hearing this, Bai Side did not respond for a long time. He just kept looking at his feet and then at the roof, as if he was also a breeding chicken who had never seen the world, the earth and the sun.
"In the old world, there is often a word called social responsibility, when people's ability reaches a certain level, they should not limit their vision to the front, and worry about small profits.
Raise your head and look into the distance, and do something stupid that doesn't seem to be profitable. For example, those who have to rely on handouts to make ends meet, some of them are too old and infirm to continue to create value, and some of them are only experiencing temporary difficulties or are too young to support themselves.
At this time, no one went over to pull a hand, they may not live next year, or they may be discouraged and lazy from now on, and when they grow up, their minds are full of hatred, either stealing or robbing, even drinking and gambling, and they will kill themselves early.
You may think that they are stupid, lazy, and self-inflicted, and they will die when they die, and they will cause trouble for everyone when they live. But I don't think so, they are all potential customers, poor today, not necessarily poor forever.
We pull a hand, and the loss is nothing more than a few meals or two less trips to the casino, no pain or itching, but in exchange for the benefits in the future, the last time will be a few more thanks.
This is not to ask everyone to do good deeds, it is just a faΓ§ade. In fact, I am not doing good deeds, but consciously cultivating the future market. Didn't I just say that we don't lack customer traffic, but we lack customers with purchasing power.
Find ways to guide and help those homeless people who are struggling at the bottom to live a better life, and when they have rich money in their hands, not only you and my market, but also all the buyers and sellers on the street will benefit. The current effort is not at all an order of magnitude compared to the future gain.
In my understanding, this is called social responsibility, and doing any business is inseparable from the surrounding social environment. When people who buy things feel that the market is full of profiteers, and people who sell things feel that customers are all people, no matter how hard they try, there will be no good prospects. β
