At night in Kyoto, the snow is falling like goose feathers, and it is getting heavier and heavier, flooding the entire city.

In a remote tavern, two men are drinking one cup after another with a fire burning in the window.

Jiang Yang and Bai Chengen haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and the two of them seem to have endless words.

Drink a lot.

After drinking the rice wine, Wang Bing took out a box of liquor from the trunk, which was the golden word Lan produced by Tang Liquor Industry.

Both of them hadn't drunk like this for a long time, and they drank openly, and they spoke freely.

From the life changes and situations in the past six months, I began to talk about the current situation, from the history of the past to the present, and talked about the possible future, and then talked about some things that have happened in the blue whale in the past six months.

When it comes to the blue whale, Bai Chengen has a melancholy that can't be concealed.

The fundamental reason for this is because of the old rival Filet Group.

This foreign company, which has taken root in China, is becoming more and more rampant, and its roots are not ordinary.

They have invested in countless foreign-funded enterprises, tied up banks in various places, and even their products are closely related to the development and people's livelihood in various places.

From daily necessities, grain and oil department stores, to TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, color TVs, cars, mobile phones, computers and other high-tech products are involved.

It is easier said than done to completely eliminate this company.

What's more critical is that now it's not that the Blue Whale is in a hurry to eliminate the Filet Group, but that the Filip Group is determined to kill the Blue Whale.

In Bai Chengen's words: People are the initiative, and Blue Whale has always been passive in defense.

In this era of being flooded with all kinds of "foreign goods", everything written in English is destined to be one level higher than domestic products.

Under this huge pressure, a large number of domestic brands have been born to disrupt the market.

Taking food as an example, since China opened up the import and export trade ports of many countries, it began to encourage Chinese enterprises to open up import and export trade and circulate domestic goods abroad.

It stands to reason that this is a good thing, but what happened next was that Bai Chengen's back molars were about to be broken.

He simply said eight words: internal and external troubles, and it is impossible to prevent them.

The reason is that the pressure of the current market of Blue Whale not only comes from the Filet Group, but also from many Chinese enterprises, that is, "their own people".

This time Jiang Yang was confused, and quickly lit a cigarette and listened carefully to Bai Chengen's narration.

It turned out that after China opened up the international trade market, the qualification standards, testing standards and implementation standards of various countries for commodities were also announced.

This is also reasonable, but the crux of the problem is that the threshold of commodity qualification standards in countries such as the United States, Japan, and South Korea is much higher than that of China.

Take food as an example, if the island country imports fruit juice from China, then in terms of food requirements, it must require 100% fruit juice, zero additives, zero preservatives and zero coloring, while the domestic implementation standard is a percentage limit on the basis of additives that are harmless to the body.

That is to say, carbonated juice drinks like Fanta, if they are sold in China, then you can add some additives, and if you sell them to island people, you must add zero, otherwise others will reject your products.

As a result, Fanta has greatly increased the cost and threshold for exporting products, and the profit will become extremely low.

"It's not unacceptable to find some breakthroughs in technology, symbolically reduce some profits or raise some market prices."

Just when Jiang Yang thought that this was also reasonable, Bai Chengen's words instantly made Jiang Yang's blood pressure soar.

That is, a beverage company like Fanta has begun to produce two different specifications of beverages.

One is to add pigments and preservatives, and is sold in China.

The other is export goods, 100% original ecology, zero additives, exported to the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries.

To put it bluntly, it is to sell the bad things to the people of China and sell all the good things abroad.

What's even more shocking is that the price of these two commodities is the same, which is about 2.5 yuan when converted into RMB.

And in this way, these domestic enterprises have also given their own statements.

In the name of it: open up foreign markets, occupy foreign markets, rush Chinese products to the world, and do not disgrace the country.

Not only that, under the price suppression of the Filip Group, these state-owned brands began to continuously lower the price of these inferior goods, which greatly implicated the already loose Blue Whale.

The key is that the behavior of these state-owned brands began to make the people of China gradually lose confidence in state-owned brands, and even disgusted.

The common people will not be too shaken by whose company it is, especially after those "qualified standards" are exposed, they are even more convinced of a truth: foreign things are better than domestic ones.

"For the same price, sell good ones to foreigners, sell us junk food, and treat us as human beings?"

All kinds of voices began to spread among the people, and the reputation of state-owned brands was not as good as ever.

The Blue Whale not only has to resist the pressure from the Filip Group, but also suffers from the sins of its "compatriots".

Speaking of this, Bai Chengen's face showed a look of pain.

An economist is ashamed to say that this is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. For example, some farmers usually keep the rotten apples that have been bitten by insects to eat for themselves, and sell the perfect apples to others, which is something that developing countries must experience......"

Bai Chengen sighed: "This point of view has even been supported by many people. ”

"Fuck it!"

Jiang Yang finally couldn't help but burst into foul language: "These dog-called experts are the puppets who came out to wipe their butts, if they themselves can see through the economic situation, and chew their tongues in the media every day to earn the two dates of the TV station?" I've been opening my own company a long time ago, and I'm still using it to analyze blindly? ”

"It's just a stealing concept, shameless!"

Jiang Yang's right hand slammed on the table, and he said with some anger: "When the farmer sees the rotten apple, it's right that he eats it himself, but it's to sell it for more money, and the beneficiary is the farmer himself!" What are they? Co-authored rotten apples for the common people to eat, but they are the beneficiaries, these are two concepts! Completely different groups of beneficiaries! ”

"What kind of expert is it to trample on the brains and dignity of consumers at will, press them to the ground and rub them?"

Bai Chengen smiled bitterly after hearing this: "There are too many such experts and scholars, they should have collected money from these companies to speak for them." Now on the news on TV, every three or five is a weather vane, the common people listen to the wind is rain, and continue to pay for them with the money in their pockets, the worst is us, the left side has to guard against the Filet Group, and the right side has to guard against their own people. ”

"Brother, I can finally understand now how difficult it was when you took the Blue Whale to fight against the Filet Group."

Bai Chengen sighed: "There are too many methods for these people of country M, especially in sowing discord and disintegrating the national will, which is really impossible to prevent." ”

"It's not that exaggerated."

Jiang Yang calmed down a little and said: "They just don't tell the truth, they run trains everywhere, as if that mouth is rented, they don't know what words can pop out in the next second, and they are completely irresponsible." ”

Bai Chengen thought for a while and said, "The current situation of the blue whale is probably like this, and now that you are back, do you have any plans?" ”

Jiang Yang touched the wine glass, was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't have any plans, let's clean them up first." ”

Bai Chengen was slightly stunned, and asked tentatively: "Clean up domestic or foreign?" ”

Jiang Yang picked up the wine glass and raised his neck to drink: "Clean up one piece." ”
