Chapter 194: Borderless Facing Crisis (6.2k)
It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Zhao Ye studied Su, since Su was going to fall, then it was better to make some contributions to himself.
Zhao Ye decisively stepped up his efforts to poach people in Su.
It has to be said that the establishment of good people in the Soviet Union by the Wujiang Group will play a very good role in the work of poaching people.
The West will only try its best to exploit it, but the Borderless Group has extended a helping hand, although it has not played a big role, but it has won the favor of many Soviets.
In addition, Zhao Ye let people publicize the "good deeds" of the Wujiang Group in the Soviet Union, which made many Soviet people have an excellent impression of the Wujiang Group.
"Alas, the Soviet Union is about to fall, and then the United States will turn its attention to China, and the Borderless Group has been in a comfortable and comfortable environment for a long time, and it should be time to meet the challenge!" Zhao Ye said in a deep voice, although he knew that the future was bumpy, he was not afraid.
Zhao Ye glanced at the newspaper on the table again, which said that Japan's real estate bubble had burst recently, and the stock price had plummeted.
……
Seibu Group.
Ti Yiming's eyes were glazed, looking at the computer in a daze.
"How so? How so? Ti Yiming kept muttering to himself, his expression in disbelief.
Housing prices in Japan have plummeted like an avalanche.
Major international investors have fled from Japan, further exacerbating Japan's economic crisis.
As the richest man in Japan, Ti Yiming, for a while, his worth plummeted.
The debt ratio of the Seibu Group is very high, and Ti Yiming can't help but think of a way to sell assets to save the company at this time, but in the current environment, who will buy Japanese real estate?
Suddenly, Ti Yiming couldn't help but think that Wanjiang Real Estate Company could withdraw from the Japanese real estate industry in more than a year.
"Could it be that the Borderless Group has anticipated the timing of the bursting of the Japanese real estate bubble?"
Ti Yiming regretted it for a while, he was still complacent as a pick-up man at that time, thinking that he had taken a big advantage, but he didn't know that he had eaten poison.
In fact, the Seibu Group was not as miserable in the previous life as in this life, but who made the Seibu Group the receiver of Wanjiang Real Estate made the Seibu Group now on the verge of bankruptcy.
The real estate bubble burst, Japan's stock price plummeted, Japan's economy was hit hard, and all walks of life were greatly affected.
Japan's economy is caught in a cycle known as the "lost 20 years"!
Bang!!!
From time to time, Tokyo's high-rise buildings fall down something, which is miserable.
Real estate companies went bankrupt, banks went bankrupt, factories went bankrupt, the number of unemployed people in Japan skyrocketed, and many people borrowed money to speculate in real estate, but now, many people can't afford to pay back, so they simply die with a whimper.
There are a lot of bad debts and bad debts in the banks, and the Bank of Japan does not fail, who fails.
Back then, in the 80s, the Bank of Japan clerks came every day to persuade people to take out loans, and the more you borrowed, the happier the Bank of Japan became. Now, the banks are reaping the consequences.
Zhao Ye licked his lips a little embarrassed at this time, thinking to himself, Japan's economic crisis is much heavier than in his previous life, probably, perhaps, because of the existence of Wanjiang Real Estate, Japanese real estate has become more crazy.
As the saying goes, "the higher you stand, the more painful it hurts to fall", and this is probably the case in Japan.
Zhao Ye thought about it again, he didn't take the opportunity to short the Japanese stock market, he was already very conscientious, Wanjiang Real Estate Company left the market about a year early, and he couldn't blame himself for the bursting of the Japanese real estate bubble.
At present, many companies in Japan are bankrupt and employees are unemployed, and isn't this just an opportunity for Wujiang Group?
Some high-quality resources in Japan are still very valuable, and you can take the opportunity to buy the bottom.
In addition, there are many Japanese talents.
Although Zhao Ye is a little prejudiced against people who live very well in Little Japan, "If the mountains are not allowed, the soil can become big; For the development of the company, Zhao Ye believes that it is necessary to absorb Japanese talents for his own use.
The bursting of Japan's real estate bubble has made many people in China sigh.
Industry insiders had to admire Zhao Ye's vision when they thought that Wanjiang Real Estate could pull out of it in time.
In Hong Kong, Li Jiacheng and others couldn't help but look at each other when they chatted at this time.
"At the beginning, I laughed at Wanjiang Real Estate Company for being unwise and abandoning Tokyo Real Estate at a relatively low price, but now it seems that people have long predicted that the Japanese real estate bubble will burst!"
"Yes, Zhao Ye's control and judgment of the situation is simply amazing!"
“……”
Li Jiacheng looked to the north with burning eyes, Hong Kong's land is very small, and the real estate development potential is limited, while the mainland is a large land and a large population, which is definitely the best choice for the development of the real estate market, and the potential is huge.
The Lujiazui renovation project of Wujiang Group shocked Li Jiacheng, but at the same time, it also made Li Jiacheng realize the development potential of Shanghai's Pudong real estate industry.
It's a pity that the area around Lujiazui was bought in advance by Wujiang Group. It is said that Wujiang Group is planning to build large apartments in the surrounding area of Lujiazui, mainly for its employees to live in at low prices......
Li Jiacheng shook his head, if it were himself, he would develop high-density residential buildings, whether it was leasing or selling, he could make a lot of money.
At present, Li Jiacheng and others can only develop real estate in other areas of Pudong, but in general, it is far less good than Wanjiang Real Estate in China.
However, Wanjiang Real Estate did not hoard much land in the mainland, which made Li Jiacheng a little contemptuous and wanted to laugh.
Wanjiang Real Estate is backed by Wujiang Group, and with this relationship, it is not easy to acquire land in the mainland.
Li Jiacheng sighed slightly, feeling that Wanjiang Real Estate is a tyrannical thing, if he has this kind of relationship, he will definitely take land in the mainland crazily, and when the land price rises in the future, he will be able to make a lot of money.
……
Zhao Ye took down the newspaper, picked up a document, and wrote "agree" at the end, or his own opinion, as if he had reviewed it.
The document in his hand was the supermarket expansion plan sent by Xiang Yangyao, the person in charge of Wujiang Supermarket.
At this time, Wujiang Group has built Wujiang supermarkets in first- and second-tier cities in China.
Xiang Yangyao suggested that while foreign supermarket giants have not yet begun to enter the mainland on a large scale, Wujiang Supermarket should hurry up and complete the layout.
Even the town has to set up a supermarket without borders.
Zhao Ye took a closer look at the turnover of Wujiang Group in first- and second-tier cities, such as a Wujiang supermarket in Shanghai's XH District, with a daily turnover of more than 200,000 yuan.
You know, at this time, the yuan is still very profitable, and many things are only sold for a few cents.
In Zhao Ye's impression, there is nothing that is not profitable to open a supermarket in China at this stage.
Supermarkets are very profitable.
What's more, because of the name "Wujiang", Wujiang Supermarket has made people flock to it, and many people have come all the way to Wujiang Group to shop.
Out of caution, Zhao Ye did not immediately agree to Xiang Yangyao's plan, he decided to go to the nearby Wujiang Supermarket first to check the situation. Just wait for dinner at the company, you can go for a walk.
Recently, he has been a little mentally tired, and he has to manage the company and do scientific research at the same time, even an iron man will feel tired, so he just goes out for a walk and relaxes. By the way, experience the feeling of shopping at Borderless Supermarket.
Soon, Zhao Ye and the others came to Wujiang Supermarket.
In order not to be recognized, Zhao Ye specially wore a mask.
At more than seven o'clock in the evening, at the entrance of the supermarket, there was a lot of people, so it was not lively.
"Business is so good!" Zhao Ye was slightly surprised and said, this place is crowded with people, and it is as lively as when it opened, but this borderless supermarket has been open for several months.
Zhao Ye saw an uncle in his forties preparing to walk into the supermarket, so he stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, hello, I want to ask you a question, is it okay?" ”
The uncle said with a smile: "Young man, what do you want to ask?" ”
"Uncle, do you know why the business of Wujiang Supermarket is so good?" Zhao Ye asked.
"Haha, what else can I do, the things in the Wujiang supermarket are cheap, so everyone loves to buy things in the Wujiang supermarket!" The uncle replied as a matter of course.
Zhao Ye was stunned, the reason why Wujiang Supermarket is so popular in China is so simple.
Sure enough, the Chinese people are so simple and unpretentious, they value benefits the most, and they will live.
In the future, as the scale of Wujiang Supermarket grows, the price of goods will be lower, and it will be more difficult for other supermarkets to compete with Wujiang Supermarket.
The next day, Zhao Ye waved his hand and approved the expansion plan of Wujiang Supermarket.
……
……
Tuojiang Town is just an ancient city and town.
July 14th.
The first supermarket in the ancient city opened.
For a time, there were thousands of empty alleys in the ancient city, and everyone went to Wujiang Supermarket to watch the excitement and buy things.
"Wow, the rice, oil and salt in Wujiang Supermarket are so cheap, and there are all kinds of snacks and daily chemical products, the categories are really complete!"
"Yes, my eyes are full of flowers, there are a lot of goods, what do I want, I want to buy things in the future, just come to Wujiang Supermarket to buy them myself!"
"Abba and Mom, look over there, there is a big promotion of drinks, Tianfu Cola, Laoshan Cola, Arctic Ocean and other drinks are sold so cheaply, now you can buy a bottle for only 5 cents! Let's buy a few bottles and go home! Cuicui said excitedly.
"Okay, let's buy a bottle and let you go home and taste it." Cuicui's mother doted.
Not far away, a little boy stood in front of a pile of instant noodle shelves, looking at the brightly colored and fragrant instant noodles on the cover.
"Mommy, Mommy, I want to buy this!"
The little boy's mother looked at the goods on the shelves and couldn't help exclaiming: "Ah, what a cheap [Red Sun Instant Noodles], only five cents a pack, and it is also a nutritious instant noodles specially developed for teenagers!" ”
The mother touched the little boy's head and said gently: "Good boy, mom will buy you a few packs of [Red Sun Instant Noodles]!" ”
She took four packets of [Red Sun Instant Noodles] and put them in the cart.
In a short time, more and more people came to buy [Red Sun Instant Noodles], and at the entrance of Guy Supermarket, the supermarket staff soaked [Red Sun Instant Noodles] in hot water, which was really fragrant.
People who walk into the supermarket are all tempted by this fragrance.
When Unification and Master Kong had not yet entered the mainland on a large scale, it was a good opportunity for [Red Sun Instant Noodles] to occupy the market.
Yes, that's right, the developer of [Red Sun Instant Noodles] is Wujiang Food.
The name of "Red Sun Instant Noodles" is taken from a section of "Young China Says", "The Red Sun Rises, and Its Way is Great Light".
The rising red sun refers to the rising sun in the east, describing a vibrant scene.
In this era, parents like to buy various health products for their children, such as "Life No. 1", which advertises "improving memory and supplementing brain nutrition", which became popular in the 90s for a while.
The first product of Wahaha Company is also a health care product, called "Wahaha Children's Nutrition Solution", for which an advertising slogan was invented - "Drink Wahaha, eat is fragrant", and it has sold more than 100 million yuan in 3 years.
Wujiang Group said that [Red Sun Instant Noodles] is a nutritious instant noodles specially developed for teenagers, and that's right, instant noodles are more or less nutritious~
With the expansion of Wujiang Supermarket, [Red Sun Instant Noodles] also followed the fire, and major domestic distributors saw that [Red Sun Instant Noodles] was so popular, and they came to purchase, and dozens of trucks lined up outside the [Red Sun Instant Noodles] production factory.
said that even if the Wujiang supermarket is in the town, it is also popular, don't want it.
However, the larger the scale, the more cumbersome it is to manage.
Moreover, there is no Internet yet, and it is difficult to manage data such as sales and inventory as a whole.
At present, the only way to do this is to follow Wal-Mart's example and launch satellites and build satellite communication systems.
Xiang Yangyao was originally an executive of Walmart Supermarket, so Zhao Ye was not surprised when he proposed that Wujiang Supermarket should establish its own satellite communication system.
"SpaceX is working on communications satellites, you can check them out!" Zhao Ye introduced.
"Okay, Chairman." Xiang Yangyao nodded.
SpaceX is engaged in research in three main areas: rockets, satellites, and aerospace engines.
Almost 15% of the people of the Soviet Aerospace Agency were poached.
This made SpaceX's scientific and technological level soar instantly, and it was not difficult to build a communication satellite of acceptable quality.
Just after Xiang Yangyao left, Zhao Ye thought about it, and wanted to change the name of SpaceX, in the past, he always wanted to use the name of the company of the bigwigs in his previous life, but gradually, he found that using someone else's name is a kind of lack of self-confidence, as if living in the shadow of others.
I am who I am, fireworks of different colors.
Now, I'm the boss!!
Zhao Ye pondered for a while, and finally decided to change the name of SpaceX Space Exploration Technology Company to Galaxy Technology.
A few days later, Xiang Yangyao went to look for SpaceX, and was stunned to find that the brand of SpaceX had actually changed to Galaxy Technology, which almost made him come to the wrong place since then......
……
……
"Boss, the three countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are very bold enough to announce their secession from the Soviet Union!" Liu Yinyin sighed, "Aren't they afraid that Su will deal with them?" ”
Zhao Ye pursed his lips and said, "The Soviet Union is too busy to take care of itself, and it still deals with them?" It's impossible. However, this also verifies that the Soviet Union at this time is extremely weak, we must step up digging people, buying equipment and technical information, and I don't know when it will be finished, and then the United States will raise a butcher's knife against our Wujiang Group! ”
"Boss, are you thinking too seriously, we are still in the honeymoon period between China and the United States!"
"Don't underestimate the other party, people say they will turn their faces! Moreover, there is only a division of interests between countries, and once the Soviet Union is gone, then there is no need for it to win over China, but to worry about China's rejuvenation. ”
After a pause, Zhao Ye said, "Napoleon once said, 'China is a sleeping lion.'" If one day, this male lion can wake up, it will shock the whole world. ’
Napoleon's words have a huge impact on the Western world, and the United States has now become the world boss, how can it sit back and watch the awakening of a lion?! ”
When Liu Yinyin heard this, she couldn't help nodding: "Boss, you're right, it seems that the current situation of our group is very dangerous!" ”
Zhao Ye nodded: "It seems to be bright, but in fact, there is a hidden crisis!" ”
"Boss, what should we do?" Liu Yinyin said with some concern.
"Only when there is a country can there be a home, and there is also a country that can have our company. If we want to break the situation, we must have a strong motherland! So in the future, no matter what kind of crisis we are facing in the Wujiang Group, as long as we persevere, when the country becomes stronger, when the country has the ability to uphold justice for us, our situation will be better. Of course, we can't count on the support of the state, and we ourselves have to fight hard! ”
Zhao Ye said in a deep voice, "As long as our Wujiang Group's technology is ahead of Lao Mei and the world, then we will have the ability to counteract!! ”
"Hmm!!" When Liu Yinyin heard this, her expression was serious, and she couldn't help but nod her head heavily.
……
Time flies, and it flies.
Inadvertently, it was December 1991.
At this time, good news finally came, and the optical fiber required by Zhao Ye and the entire set of "triple play" technology were all successfully developed.
However, another piece of bad news followed, and that was the fall of the Soviet Union.
This incident shocked the whole world, and Lao Mei was overjoyed.
From now on, no country on earth will have the strength to compete with it.
However, China's economic development in recent years has been too fast......
Many lawmakers attributed China's rapid economic development to the Borderless Group.
So they thought that if the Wujiang Group collapsed, it would be able to curb China's development.
Shanghai, China.
Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh, after all, he couldn't delay for long, go all the way, after you die, your "wife", I will support you, don't worry about it.
With the fall, the former Soviet people were at a loss, and a large number of talented people went to China at the invitation of the Wujiang Group.
At one time, the number of Soviet people who went to China surged more than tenfold.
At this time, the local government has little to worry about.
It's really a mess.
A large number of scientific and technical materials that Zhao Ye regarded as treasures were sold cheaply.
A large amount of industrial equipment is sold as scrap metal.
In addition, the government has also negotiated many trades with the military there, including the latest Soviet third-generation aircraft Su-27 and Su-27 technology, the Varyag aircraft carrier, and so on......
At this time, the fighter jets lagged behind the United States and the Soviet Union by 30 years, and many air force pilots even complained that our most advanced fighters were not qualified to serve as target planes for the third-generation aircraft of the United States and the Soviet Union.
At the beginning of 1991, after seeing how Lao Mei beat children, the military finally realized that it wanted to improve the strength of China's fighters.
However, the country can't help but feel fortunate that the Wujiang Group is very powerful, and has poached a lot of aerospace technical talents from the Soviet Union, and its Galaxy Technology Company is afraid that the talent reserve and technical reserve in the aerospace industry will not exceed that of the country.

……
"Boss, Lao Mei has begun to attack our Wujiang Group and increase the tariffs on our products!" Liu Yinyin rushed to Zhao Ye with an anxious face.
Zhao Ye frowned and asked, "Which products have been taxed?" ”
"Shenzhou Computer, HarmonyOS operating system, Kirin 3 chip, Kunlun graphics processing, Tomahawk game console, flash memory, battery, LCD screen, NAND flash memory, various game software, etc., a total of twenty-four products!" Liu Yinyin replied while handing the document to Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye took the document, glanced at it roughly, and then put the document on the table.
The old U.S. and Canadian tariffs are mainly to protect the local industry of the United States, and at the same time bring down the Wujiang Group.
If the tax hike doesn't work, it may be directly banned.
This is all the routine operation of Lao Mei, and it is commonplace.
In fact, before the rise of the Internet, Lao Mei often cut wool through tariffs, but fewer people knew about it.
Zhao Ye thought for a while and said: "The wool comes out of the sheep, and the price of all the products that Americans have to buy will be increased, and the others will remain at the original price, so it's a big deal to make a little less." For example, the price of Wujiang EDA software has risen, and I want to make the cost of chip design in the United States skyrocket and curb the level of chip design in the United States! ”
At present, the most advanced chip design software in the world is Wujiang EDA, including Intel, Motorola, IBM and other companies are using Wujiang EDA software.
The usage fee of Wujiang EDA software is calculated on a monthly and annual basis, and the monthly rent of a set of tools is more than 500,000 US dollars.
"In addition, the chip foundry price of Wujiang Microelectronics Company has also increased for me. Although it can't crush the U.S. semiconductor industry, it has a great impact! ”
In this life, TSMC can only compete with Wujiang Microelectronics, the scale is very small, and most of the chip foundry orders of American companies can only be completed by Wujiang Microelectronics. Even if TSMC wants to expand its scale, it will take time. And technically, TSMC can't compete with Boundless Microelectronics, the most cutting-edge chip foundry business, TSMC can't do.
As soon as Zhao Ye finished talking to Liu Yinyin, he said that he would go to Wujiang Microelectronics Company to inspect the development progress of the immersion lithography machine.
Dry lithography has reached its end, and there hasn't been much progress in two decades.
If Wujiang Microelectronics develops the immersion lithography machine, it will be able to occupy a leading position in the semiconductor field.
In the afternoon, there were many reporters at the door of Wujiang Group, who were well-informed and learned about the suppression of Wujiang Group by M for the first time.
Fu Xiaoyue, a spokesperson for Wujiang Group, appeared in front of reporters at this time.
"Miss Fu, hello, I am a reporter from ** Agency. As far as we know, at around 10:30 this morning, M suddenly announced an increase in tariffs on a number of products of Wujiang Group. What decision will Borderless Group make on this matter? ”
Fu Xiaoyue said loudly: "For M to increase the tariffs on a number of products of Wujiang Group for no reason, our group will find a way to solve it as soon as possible, and I apologize to consumers all over the world on behalf of Wujiang Group for the inconvenience caused!" ”
After a pause, Fu Xiaoyue changed her words and said, "Recently, Wujiang Group will adjust the prices of some products, such as Wujiang EDA software, and increase the rent in the United States by 50%!" In addition, due to the rise in the price of chip raw materials, labor prices and tariffs to the United States, Wujiang Microelectronics will increase the foundry price of chips by ......"
As soon as these words came out, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a countermeasure proposed by dissatisfied with the United States and the United States raising tariffs on the Wujiang Group.
The reporters in the audience were shocked that this Wujiang Group was so bold.
In fact, Zhao Ye knows that compromise is useless, the more you give in, others will only gain an inch. What kind of face is over there, Zhao Ye knows it clearly.
