Jin Shajiang, the president of Huansha Textile Company, felt on pins and needles when facing this online annual meeting. The main reason was that they had not achieved the goal proposed by Zhao Yi to expand the overseas market.
When Zhao Yi interviewed him last time, he hoped that Huansha Textile Enterprises could go global and not rely too much on Hualong Clothing Company, and needed more independent development plans.
Although Jinshajiang agreed on the spot and was indeed actively promoting its textile products, the difficulty of developing it was actually much greater than imagined.
Hualong Clothing Company now occupies a little more than half of the world's clothing, shoes and hats. In other words, the additional market space left for Huansha Textile Company is already small.
Moreover, the remaining markets are still occupied by many foreign textile companies. In order to preserve their little textile strength, these countries have given a lot of policy support.
Even if Huansha Textile Company has capital advantages and technological advantages, it is still difficult to open up the international market. This is the dilemma Huansha Textile Company currently faces in developing international markets.
Of course, it is not impossible for Huansha Textile Company to lower the price of textiles and use price wars to compete, but in this way, its own profits will be significantly reduced.
To be honest, Jinshajiang is really unwilling to use this method to compete. If it adopts a low-price competition strategy outside, its future operations will become very difficult.
The update speed of textile products is actually very slow, which means that once the price drops, it becomes very difficult to raise it. Even if other companies are defeated and then the price is increased significantly, it is not impossible, but the reputation of the company will be greatly affected. Impact.
Zhao Yi previously encouraged the use of price wars, mainly for products that iterate very quickly. In this case, even if the competitors are defeated and the products are updated immediately, the price can be raised again.
However, for a product that is very slow to update itself, after the price is lowered, it beats its competitors and then raises the price of the product. Zhao Yi tries to avoid this situation as much as possible, because if he is a bad character, he will be targeted by governments of various countries. .
Jinshajiang may be aware of this problem during its international development, and if the international market has reduced prices, then the prices of the products they supply to Hualong Clothing Company must also be reduced.
Otherwise, Hualong Clothing Company will be at a disadvantage in the international market competition. Huansha Textile Company cannot afford this responsibility, but price reduction means a significant reduction in its own profits.
Currently, most of the textile products produced by Huansha Textile Company are traditional textiles, but with higher production technology, higher efficiency, and better product quality. There are not many unique products.
This is an important reason why Huansha Textile Company must rely on Hualong Clothing Company. If Huansha Textile Company wants to take it to the next level, it must speed up the research and development of new textile products.
Wanting to help Huansha Textile Company get out of trouble, Zhao Yi plans to start from two aspects:
The first aspect is to let Huansha Textile Company increase its scientific research strength. Previously, Zhao Yiyi gave them a lot of production materials and technologies for finished textile products, but did not teach them much about how to develop new chemical fiber products.
Therefore, Zhao Yi plans to strengthen the strength of Huansha Textile Enterprises in this regard, so that they can have higher scientific research capabilities, so that they can completely embark on an independent research and development path.
The second aspect is to allow Huansha Textile Company to strengthen cooperation with Huaxia International Petrochemical Company and Cornerstone Materials Company.
Both of them have certain strengths in the petrochemical industry and materials field. The cooperation between the three companies may lead to a situation where 1+1 is greater than 2.
This kind of cross-enterprise scientific research cooperation will become more frequent in the future. After all, a company's focus areas are different. Since it is impossible to break through just from its own field, it can only be cross-border.
Just like the carbon nanotechnology provided by Zhao Yi to Cornerstone Materials, if it is really used to make textile materials, it is actually feasible, but the cost is very high. So are there other technologies that are also related to textiles? There must be of.
The third aspect is to develop new textile materials. The current sources of textile materials are mainly cotton, linen, fur and chemical fibers. Chemical fibers require their own efforts.
But cotton, linen and fur need to be provided by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, and Qingnong Biological Laboratory has very strong strength in this aspect.
For example, cotton is still a plant fiber after all. Qingnong Biological Laboratory can develop a better plant fiber plant to make the fiber filaments longer and its unique properties more prominent.
As for fur, it is possible to develop an animal that specializes in supplying fur. Take the mink fur, which is widely used in the world. The Qingnong Biological Laboratory can completely transform it in a targeted manner and develop a better mink product.
Then it is handed over to Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company to be responsible for raising or planting, while Qingnong Biological Laboratory can charge patent fees, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The modern agricultural cooperation currently carried out by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company mainly produces conventional crops. After all, the market in this area is limited, and because their production efficiency is higher, the number of workers is bound to decrease.
Due to its high economic value, this new type of plant cultivation and animal breeding can not only expand employment for farmers, but also bring greater benefits to Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
These products are sold to Huansha Textile Company for pre-industrial processing, and then they can be directly supplied to companies in the field of clothing, shoes and hats for production.
Enterprises in the field of clothing, shoes and hats will also be able to design more clothing products and increase their clothing categories and operating income due to the addition of many emerging materials.
Not to mention the huge benefits it brings to Huansha Textile Company, Hualong Clothing Company can also design more clothing products and increase its profits due to the increase and upgrade of material types.
In other words, enterprises in the entire industry chain will benefit from breakthroughs in basic materials and an increase in types, and everyone will be able to obtain good economic benefits.
At the meeting, Zhao Yi not only did not blame Jinshajiang, but also gave him such a good solution, which made Jinshajiang feel relieved and his psychological pressure disappeared instantly.
The big reason why Zhao Yi didn't blame him was not on them. There was no need to get angry over this, just focus on the problem and solve it.
Although Huansha Textile Enterprises has not made any major breakthroughs in traditional products, it has indeed achieved good results in new textile application scenarios, such as home textiles and construction textiles.
This kind of textile is different from clothing textiles. Huansha Textile Company can completely make it by itself, and the market prospects at home and abroad are very good.
In this regard, their production technology advantages can be fully utilized. Because their equipment is very advanced, they can design very complex decorative textiles at a very low cost, but the selling price is often relatively high.
Huansha Textile Company can completely use machines to produce products that can only be produced by hand. This means that it has a very big advantage and occupies a very large share in the international market.
Jinshajiang also knows that it is difficult to open up the international market in the field of traditional textiles, so it has begun to increase its efforts in exploring the international market and has achieved good results.
Therefore, throughout 1985, Huansha Textile Company's operating income still exceeded 400 billion yuan, and its net profit margin increased slightly, reaching 25%, achieving a net profit of 100 billion yuan.
This shows that Jinshajiang did not listen to its own words. The poor performance of traditional textiles in the international market is indeed not their own problem, but that they have encountered a bottleneck.
This is one of the reasons why Zhao Yi did not blame them, and actively tried to find ways for them to provide them with ideas, hoping that they would perform better in the future.
Compared with Huansha Textile Company, Hualong Clothing Company has been much more high-profile in the past year. Whether it is their business situation or the attention they receive from the government, they are not on the same level as Huansha Textile Company. .
In the past 1985, Hualong Clothing Company's global operating income reached 1.2 trillion yuan, which is quite impressive.
In addition to their excellent performance in the international market, another important reason is that the domestic market has also begun to develop. In 1985, they achieved sales revenue of 100 billion yuan in the domestic market.
Although it is still unable to compare with the international market, this result is very gratifying. This shows that the domestic domestic demand market is gradually being established and people's income is gradually increasing.
People no longer only focus on food consumption in their lives, they are willing to spend more money on clothing, and for a long time to come, Hualong Clothing Company's domestic performance will become better and better.
Hualong Apparel Company's business scale is already so large that it will be very difficult to go further. Now it is still counting on foreign markets to continue to increase revenue, which is not very likely. This will become increasingly difficult.
However, with the development of the domestic economy, the domestic market still has great potential. In the future, Hualong Clothing Company's business growth will mainly rely on the domestic market.
Zhao Yi no longer expects Hualong Clothing Company to achieve large-scale profits. It will be very successful if it can maintain operating income of around one trillion yuan for a long time in the future.
Although the domestic market will provide a very large revenue contribution to Hualong Clothing Company in the future, the international market may undergo some changes in a few years.
At present, Zhao Yiyi is unable to make an accurate judgment on the good or bad brought about by this change in the international situation. This kind of thing depends not only on the will of our country, but also on the thoughts of the Western countries that currently dominate the world.
However, by then, our country will have a completely different situation from the polar bears. The "peaceful evolution" approach will not work in our country at all, and the role of ideological export will be very limited.
In addition, by then, our country's economic scale will have completely grown. If the domestic demand cycle is completed, it will be more stable and cannot be overturned by some ups and downs outside.
However, as a commercial organization, many companies under Zhao Yi will definitely be targeted deliberately. In fact, high-tech companies don't have to be too afraid. After all, they need you more.
However, traditional enterprises such as Hualong Clothing Company and Huansha Textile Company are very likely to be deliberately targeted in the international market. After all, they are too substitutable.
For companies like Tianxing Semiconductor, Polaris, and Fanxing Software, if they want to impose severe sanctions, the possibility is very low. At most, they can just find a reason to fine them.
Tianxing Semiconductor Company has defeated all of its main competitors, and there is no need to worry about its position being threatened for some time to come.
The future era is the era of semiconductors. They will definitely have many products that use chips, especially high-end chips. They can only purchase them from companies like Tianxing Semiconductor.
Even if you don't purchase from Tianxing Semiconductor Company and design it yourself, you still need Qingtian Semiconductor Company to help with production, because their manufacturing process is completely incomparable with Qingtian Semiconductor Company.
In other words, after so many years of aggressive progress, my country has established its own advantages in the semiconductor industry, and now Tianxing Semiconductor Company has begun to attack the memory chip field.
In a year or two, it is estimated that Japan's memory chip industry, which is still in full swing now, will be completely wiped out by Tianxing Semiconductor Company. This is the terrifying power brought by high-tech technology.
The traditional industries are much worse. Although the scale of the industry can be very large, basically no one can monopolize the industry, and the substitutability is relatively strong. At most, their costs are higher than yours.
If you are determined to impose sanctions, your low cost will be eaten up by raising tariffs, and you will not be able to form an absolute advantage at all.
Zhao Yiyi just hopes that if the international environment is really unfavorable to Hualong Clothing Company in the future, then the domestic market can make up for the losses in the international market, so that their employees will not face the problem of unemployment.
By then, it would be great to be able to maintain the business, and Zhao Yi did not expect to achieve a rapid improvement in performance.
However, Hualong Clothing Company's position in the country is very important, and many big bosses are paying close attention to this company, so even if it encounters setbacks in the future, it will not collapse.
Moreover, the interests of this company are not only the interests of Zhao Yi, but also the interests of the company's more than 10 million employees. The country will not let other countries manipulate it casually.
And because Hualong Apparel Company occupies a large share of the world apparel market, even if it is sanctioned, it will not act harshly. After all, it is very difficult to reconstruct the industrial chain and it will take a long time to do so.
Since the business of Hualong Clothing Company is quite stable, the meeting was not much different from the routine report, and Zi Yanran did not ask Zhao Yi anxiously for advice.
Because she knows very well that it is already very difficult for this company to reach its current scale. The business that should be expanded has been expanded, and it is too difficult to go further.
However, at the meeting, Zi Yanran actually told Zhao Yi that she was actually elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress, which shocked Zhao Yi. So, Zi Yanran's political status is now higher than hers
If Zi Yanran is elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress, the heads of other companies under her company are probably not far away, because they all have huge influence in their respective fields.
Although the China Housing Corporation has been established for a very short time, it is currently the hottest enterprise in the country. In particular, their publicity of investing 1 trillion yuan in urbanization has completely ignited the domestic infrastructure construction boom.
Because the name of this company is very similar to a state-owned enterprise, and because it can invest trillions of yuan in urbanization construction, ordinary people across the country think that this is a central enterprise.
The reason why the government allows the application for the "China" label is that this company will shoulder the important task of domestic urbanization construction for a long time to come and has the responsibility to fulfill part of the national will.
Because government capital needs to invest in railway upgrades and high-speed rail project construction, there is no excess capital to invest in urbanization construction.
In addition, Zhao Yi himself has a very large ability to mobilize economic and industrial industries. If he is responsible for urbanization construction, he will not only build houses, but also provide sufficient employment opportunities for the local people to stay.
This is the fundamental meaning of urbanization. If it is just to build a house, anyone can do it. As long as the bank allows lending, anyone can recruit a team to build the house.
But after building a house, if you want to gain popularity, you must provide sufficient employment opportunities for the local area. This is not something ordinary businessmen can do. Only people like Zhao Yi who can fully mobilize the economy and industrial control can do it.
After more than two months, the China Housing Corporation and the first 10 cities have reached an agreement on land transactions, and the China Housing Corporation is now intensively carrying out design work.
Although I have shown many urban plans and architectural plans to the leaders of these cities before, as well as 3D animations, these are only conceptual drawings, not detailed design drawings. There is a very big gap between the two.
Fortunately, the architectural design company has the assistance of intelligent design software provided by Zhao Yi, which allows them to carry out specific urbanization planning and architectural design very quickly.
According to Zhao Yi's instructions, new urbanization construction is no longer a matter of a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, but requires comprehensive consideration of all aspects and the future needs of the city and other aspects.
The construction plan of Xiongan New Area in the previous life gave Zhao Yi a great inspiration. Zhao Yi gave these opinions related to the construction plan to the architectural design company for their reference.
At the same time, they were also asked to conduct research and inspection on cities with relatively successful urban construction in the world, and strive to come up with a perfect design.
According to Zhao Yi, the construction of new cities needs to take into account ground transportation and underground transportation to solve future urban congestion problems, while also taking into account the convenience and comfort of urban life.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. After these first batch of planned plans and architectural design drawings are completed, other subsequent designs will be relatively easy.
Because many parameters will be very clear by then, as long as these parameters are input into the intelligent system, planning and design drawings that meet the requirements can be generated.
Instead of casually inputting parameters like Zhao Yi did without specific investigation and research, the generated city planning drawings and architectural design drawings must be very unreasonable.
In the future, as architectural design companies become more proficient in researching these parameters, it will be time for them to break out completely. Zhao Yi expressed his great expectation for this company to become the largest architectural design company in the world. (End of chapter)
