This average monthly profit of more than 100 yuan per household may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not much. You must know that in rural areas, each household has several children. Calculated on a per capita basis, the net income is only about 20 yuan per month. .
This income would have been considered good a few years ago. At that time, more than 20 yuan per month was comparable to the salary of urban workers.
It’s just that the domestic economy has developed too fast in the past few years, and the average monthly salary has now reached more than 120 yuan. Compared with the two, it is not very much.
1984 was just the initial stage of Baiwei Food. Since the fruit varieties were not high-end varieties, although the food processing technology has been improved and it was healthier than the original processed food, it still belonged to a relatively low-end position after all.
After the improved varieties from Qingnong Biological Laboratory are released, the economic value of the fruit will increase a lot, and the quality of food processed using this fruit will also increase.
Both Baiwei Food Company and the cooperative farmers will also gain greater benefits.
It’s just that this process needs to last for a while. After all, plant improvement is not achieved overnight. It requires strict observation procedures to ensure that the excellent varieties flowing into the market must be safe and reliable.
Although Zhao Yi wants to improve the income situation in rural areas, this will not happen overnight. It involves many aspects and is a relatively complex project.
Moreover, rural areas account for a large proportion of the population. As far as domestic arable area is concerned, it is impossible to make rural areas rich solely by relying on land. It is also necessary to convert a large amount of agricultural population into urban population, which requires sufficient industry support.
Most of his own companies are high-tech companies, and people from rural areas are not qualified for high-tech positions. Fortunately, there are also Huansha Textile Company and Hualong Clothing Company, and the labor requirements of these two companies are not that high.
This alone is actually not enough. Two companies can at most create more than 10 million jobs, which is a drop in the bucket for a rural population of more than 800 million.
Faced with this problem, Zhao Yi does not believe that he can solve it by himself. Ultimately, it is necessary to gather the power of society to solve the problem.
However, there is not much progress in this area at present. Private capital entering the industrial field is still very limited, and state-owned capital has also been having a hard time recently, which does not help much to solve the problem of rural surplus labor.
Therefore, Zhao Yi can only follow a two-step strategy. The first step is to continue to increase companies that can provide jobs on a large scale. This part belongs to his own investment. Baiwei Food Company is an example. Such measures will be increased appropriately in the future.
The second step is to accelerate the development of the private economy and accelerate the development of state-owned enterprises. The only support Zhao Yi can provide in this regard is funds, so Zhao Yi established banking institutions and investment companies.
As for whether these two steps will play a big role, Zhao Yi himself is not completely sure. He can only take it one step at a time. If the effect is significant, continue to increase investment. If the effect is average, then think of other methods.
It is now 1985, and there is actually not much time left for the country and Zhao Yi. During this period, they need to desperately develop the economy and accumulate enough strength for the drastic changes in the international environment in the future.
According to the plan, the number of employees at Baiwei Food Company will eventually reach tens of millions, and the annual sales will reach hundreds of billions or even trillions, so Zhao Yi still has high expectations for Baiwei Food Company.
After listening to Hao Simin's report and discussing with her the inspection of factories and cooperative farmers below, Zhao Yi returned to the hotel to rest.
Zhao Yi came to Shangtong Trading Company the next day. This time was not an inspection. He just wanted Jia Siqi to speed up the layout of the domestic sales network. It was not just a comprehensive shopping mall, but he hoped that they could sink sales channels to the county. level or even a rural market.
If you want to achieve this goal, the number of personnel in the trading company will increase dramatically, and branches will need to be opened in various provinces and cities. By then, the number of employees will reach millions.
Most of them are logistics employees, followed by channel construction and maintenance employees, and finally service personnel who directly face customers.
To complete these plans, trading companies have a lot of workload. First, they need to build a complete logistics network across the country. This network needs to sink to the township level.
This not only requires the use of a large number of employees, which greatly increases the difficulty of management, but also requires the construction of a large number of logistics and warehousing bases, and the fixed investment is not a small amount.
Fortunately, the trading company has always had sufficient funds, so Zhao Yi does not need to pay for it himself.
When the construction of this network is completed, the trading company will truly be self-sufficient in the country. As our country's economy becomes more and more active, relying on this network can obtain generous returns.
The logistics network is combined with all sales channels. Not counting foreign sales channels, just domestic business and trading companies can be called the largest product agent sellers and logistics providers in the country.
Zhao Yi told Jia Siqi all these plans and asked her to implement the domestic development route according to this plan. At the same time, he asked her to shift her main energy from abroad to domestic and focus on developing domestic business in the future.
After spending a lot of cash on foreign business in the past few years, the international sales channels have gradually stabilized. Although they have not yet reached Zhao Yi's previous ambitions, they are still useful.
Now that it is in a stable period, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for trading companies to take advantage of loopholes. What is left are hard bones that cannot be won in a short time and can only be polished by time.
The economic crisis of 1980 is almost over. With the renewed prosperity of the international economy, trading companies have fewer opportunities. If they want to achieve huge development, they still need to wait for the next economic crisis to break out.
Therefore, during this time, it is time to turn our attention to the country, improve the domestic trade network, and create a full-coverage logistics network and sales network.
Let those physical enterprises that cooperate with trading companies no longer pay too much attention to the construction of sales channels as before, and only need to do a good job in product production and development with peace of mind.
Since the trading company has already formed a complete sales system by then, the trading company will have more cost and service advantages in market competition, and will not be afraid of subsequent competitors.
According to previous observations, there has never been a complete sales network covering all areas in China. Most of them are small and medium-sized agents. Their overall cost and service quality are definitely unable to compete with trading companies.
When a trading company builds this full-coverage sales network, it not only has financial advantages, but also technical advantages, because most of its brother companies are high-tech companies, and they are naturally allies in this regard.
For example, in the field of logistics, a large number of high-tech means can be used, such as robot sorting systems, high-tech warehousing systems, real-time logistics tracking systems, etc.
It was difficult to do this in the past because there was no network to connect various warehouses and goods, and it was impossible to know the location of the goods in real time.
It’s different now. Hengtong Communications Company has increased the construction of the national high-speed information backbone network. The possibilities brought by informatization and intelligent management, and the intelligent program algorithm provided by Zhao Yi, provide technical feasibility for the development of intelligent robots. sex.
More importantly, the Beidou satellite navigation system provides a basis for real-time tracking of every step of logistics, which means that now is the time to develop smart logistics.
If real-time sales are provided on the sales side, entities that cooperate with trading companies can accurately know the sales of their products across the country at all times, and then formulate next-step production plans and R&D plans based on the sales. .
If sales are not ideal, they can make timely decisions whether to continue increasing advertising investment, quickly solve product defects, or even change product types, etc.
And if sales are booming, they can also expand production in a timely manner, without missing the best money-making opportunities due to slow response, and without making users wait too long and reducing their expectations for the product.
If these plans can be completed, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will be a revolution in the domestic real economy, especially in the post-industrial era, its role will be even greater.
The current industrial model is a B2C model. Factories provide their own products, and consumers choose industrial products. There is very little interaction between the two, which is not conducive to consumers' personalized consumption.
In the post-industrialization era, it is not only industrialization, but also service-oriented, allowing users to customize some personalized products according to their own needs. After the factory receives the order, it will produce according to these order requirements.
The products produced in this way can not only fully meet the needs of consumers, but also earn service fees during industrial production, resulting in higher profits per product.
Of course, to achieve this effect, flexible production lines and even 3D printer production equipment are needed, and the overall income of the people is also needed.
In fact, Zhao Yi can provide flexible production lines and 3D printing equipment now, but the domestic consumption level has not yet reached that level. It is even said that the consumption level of the entire world has not reached that level. There is absolutely no need to bring out these big killers. .
I discussed this plan with Jia Siqi for a whole day at the trading company. During the mutual discussion, the details of the entire plan were gradually improved. The rest depends on the execution of the trading company.
After returning to the hotel, Zhao Yi compiled some important technologies used in it into information documents, and then contacted the persons in charge of the precision instrument company, the machinery company, the software company and the Polaris Company respectively, and gave them the relevant development plans and technical information. , allowing them to develop new equipment and systems according to the development plan.
After finishing these tasks, Zhao Yi's work in Shenzhen was almost completed. The next step was to follow Hao Simin to visit several production bases of Baiwei Food Company to understand the situation on the spot. (End of chapter)
