Since the employees are not in a mood for the time being, Zhao Yi does not intend to dwell on this issue. After all, the current difficulties are temporary. By the end of next year, the office environment here will be greatly improved.
As for building their own headquarters, it is unlikely in the next five years, because during this time period, they are expanding their global territory, and all funds are needed to support business development.
Moreover, Internet companies are basically operating at a loss in the early stage because their main income comes from Internet advertising. If there are not enough users to support them, it will be very difficult to make money from this.
Another is that the Internet has just begun to develop. Even if they have a sufficient user base, they need to adapt to the process if they want to make profits. At least advertisers should know that Internet advertising can bring them greater business development.
In order for many merchants to be willing to place advertisements on their platforms, firstly, they need to have complete data to support their judgments, and secondly, they need to change their concepts.
As it is now, their domestic business is actually doing well and their user base is not bad, but the revenue from advertising still cannot make up for their investment.
Moreover, the companies that place Internet advertisements are mainly companies under his subsidiaries. This does not mean that his managers believed in the power of Internet advertising. They were originally based on the need to support the development of brother companies.
Of course, the more important thing is that Internet advertising is much cheaper than traditional advertising, and it is easier for young people to see it. The effect is still good.
The same is true for the domestic Internet advertising market. I believe that the foreign Internet advertising market will not be much better in the initial stage. Therefore, it is basically impossible to rely on Internet advertising to make profits in the short term.
Secondly, it is necessary to create a good user experience, and advertising will affect the user experience to a greater or lesser extent, so in the early days, these Internet companies basically did not pay attention to Internet advertising.
"Qianxun Technology Company has been established for more than a year, and the portal and search engine have been online for 10 months, which is not a short time in the Internet industry.
Mr. Jin, please talk about the achievements you have made during this period. Of course, you can also talk about the difficulties you encountered. We can discuss countermeasures together and solve the problems. " Zhao Yi said.
“Although we initially launched the portal website and search engine, and of course the online navigation webpage, the previous development of the two was quite different.
The number of registered users of the portal has reached more than 80 million, the number of daily visits has reached 100 million, and the average online visit time has reached half an hour, which is considered a pretty good result.
According to some data we obtained from United Network Technology Company, the number of people surfing the Internet through Internet cafes every day has reached about 40 million, and the number of Internet cafe members has reached 60 million.
From the comparison of these two data, it can be seen that the number of Internet users in our country has reached more than 70 million. Our portal website has a coverage rate of more than 90%, excluding the situation where one person has multiple accounts.
As popular as the portal website, there is also the website navigation webpage, which has become a must-have webpage for novices to surf the Internet, with hundreds of millions of visitors every day.
In sharp contrast to the above two businesses, our search engine is not used very frequently. The number of daily searches is only about 10 million, and the average daily users are about 5 million. "Jin Jiming said.
The current Internet user data in my country obtained from the data of United Network Technology Company is relatively accurate, because most of the current Internet users access the Internet through the Internet cafes of United Network Technology Company.
The rest are other Internet cafe investors who have spotted the business opportunities in Internet cafes. However, the overall scale of this scattered Internet cafe is very limited, estimated to be less than 10% of the installed capacity of United Internet Cafes.
They just run the Internet cafe business in places that the United Internet Cafe cannot take care of. After all, they have limited funds. At the same time, their overall costs are higher than that of the United Internet Cafe, and the Internet price is more expensive than that of the United Internet Cafe.
The rest are relatively wealthy families who have enough money to buy computer products, and among them, the high-paid employees of Zhao Yi are the main group, and of course there are other high-income groups in the country.
Judging from this data, the development rate of the Internet in our country is actually very fast. In less than a year, more than 70 million people have access to the Internet. At this rate, by the end of this year, there will be about 100 million people.
Being able to bring so many people into contact with the Internet in such a short period of time is mainly because the Internet fee provided by United Internet Cafe is very low. It costs one to two cents per hour, which is very cheap.
Other third-party Internet cafes do not charge less than 50 cents per hour for Internet access, and the Internet environment is even worse than this. If they did not take advantage of the United Internet Cafe, there would be no way to continue operating.
Even at a fee of 5 cents per hour, their profits are actually not particularly high, far less than the profits they made in the early days of Internet cafes in their previous lives.
Because United Internet Cafe has given netizens the impression that if it is much higher than United Internet Cafe, people would rather walk a few more steps to go to United Internet Cafe to surf the Internet.
The income of residents has improved significantly in the past few years. At the end of last year, it had reached an average monthly salary of about 300 yuan, which means that they can earn an average of 10 yuan a day.
In addition to working hours, surfing the Internet for about 4 hours a day only costs less than one yuan. Basically, young people can afford such a low cost.
In addition, in this era, there is no awareness of saving money to buy a house. In addition, education, medical care and elderly care are basically the responsibility of the state. They leave a small part of the money they earn in savings, and the rest can be spent with peace of mind. go out.
And according to Zhao Yi's estimate, by the end of this year, the average monthly salary of domestic people may reach about 400 yuan. Even if it does not, the difference will not be too big.
Because this year, with the start of large-scale infrastructure and urbanization construction, the number of employees will increase rapidly. At the same time, the state and Zhao Yi are also consciously increasing the salaries of staff.
As long as the government and Zhao Yi reach a consensus on this and raise salaries for staff together, other operating entities will have to follow suit, because it is too low and no one will work for them.
In the past, there might have been some people who couldn't find jobs and were willing to accept low wages. Although they couldn't make money, they wouldn't starve to death.
However, due to the huge labor demand brought about by large-scale infrastructure and urbanization construction, the floating labor force on the market basically does not worry about finding a job, and the salary they receive is not bad, so other economies have to improve their wages to obtain labor force.
This is also the reason why the labor price has increased so much this year, from about 300 yuan to about 400 yuan. Although the proportion is not necessarily the largest, the absolute value is definitely the largest in recent years.
If the average monthly salary reaches 400 yuan, then it is 4,800 yuan a year. According to the current exchange rate against the US dollar, the average annual income has reached 2,400 US dollars, which is not low.
You must know that the current GDP of Eagle Sauce is only close to 4.5 trillion U.S. dollars, the population is 240 million, and the per capita GDP is only about 18,700 U.S. dollars, so the per capita annual salary may be even less, with a conservative estimate of about 15,000 U.S. dollars.
It can be seen from here that my country's annual GDP is actually very close to Yingjiang's GDP. According to Zhao Yi's estimate, my country's GDP this year is about 4 trillion U.S. dollars, and the difference will not be much.
The reason why the wealth levels of the two countries seem to be so different is mainly due to several aspects:
First, my country's rapid economic development has only been in a few years, and there are many historical debts. This has caused my country's GDP to have increased, but there is still a huge gap in infrastructure.
Second, my country's rapid GDP growth is basically created by Zhao Yi's companies. High-tech companies have brought huge profit margins, and large-scale manufacturing has brought cost reductions.
In other words, although Zhao Yi's companies give their employees higher salaries, compared with the overall level of Yingjiang, the gap is still very large. However, the revenue of Zhao Yi's companies is not higher than that of Yingjiang's companies. Low, even much higher.
It can be seen from here that in fact, most of the extra GDP has gone into Zhao Yi's pocket, and the results shared by employees are not particularly high.
It was precisely after realizing this problem that Zhao Yi started urbanization construction, allowing the high profits he earned to flow into the pockets of more people through infrastructure projects, allowing for secondary distribution of wealth.
As for the remuneration of his own employees, Zhao Yi feels that it is more appropriate at present. It not only serves the purpose of driving up the salary price, but also basically does not break away from the society as a whole.
If you just distribute a large amount of profits under your own banner, it will only make a small number of people rich, and the wages of employees in other companies will not see a big increase, which is actually detrimental to our country's economic development.
Third, since the implementation of my country's large-scale infrastructure plan, the government's fiscal policy has been relatively active, which has resulted in a relatively abundant money supply in the market.
Although doing so is suspected of diluting the value of the currency in Zhao Yi's hands, he feels that doing so is appropriate because controllable currency inflation is actually beneficial to the economy.
If more money is not put into the market, it will be difficult for the country to build infrastructure on a large scale. Even if it borrows money from banks for construction, there will not be so much money loaned out by them.
Of course, it is impossible to print unlimited money, because our country’s currency is not yet an international reserve currency. If we print too much money, it will only harm our own economic development.
Therefore, Zhao Yi is not worried that his wealth will be infinitely diluted, and moderate inflation will also help improve the salaries of domestic people. In addition to daily consumption, their salaries must include the purchase of high-tech products.
Then these funds will eventually flow into Zhao Yi's related industries, because Zhao Yi's industry scale is already very large, covering almost all three major industries, from agriculture to industry to the service industry, and the proportions are all Not low.
As I wrote before, people in China have gradually begun to buy home console products owned by Polaris Company. Presumably, after this year, the domestic revenue of other companies under its umbrella will be much better, unlike in previous years. .
Therefore, it is basically impossible to dilute Zhao Yi's wealth, because if there is excessive inflation, then the prices of these products and services will definitely rise.
It's just that there hasn't been too much growth at the moment. First of all, the government has appropriately controlled the moderate monetary expansion, which can benefit domestic economic development without causing price increases.
Secondly, Zhao Yi's companies can provide society with a large amount of agricultural products, industrial products and service products. As long as these supplies increase, moderate monetary inflation will not be reflected in prices.
Fourth, my country's GDP statistics only count enterprises above designated size, and do not include self-employed individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises. This means that on the surface, my country's GDP is not that large.
This reflects the Chinese government's strategy of keeping a low profile. At present, our country's economic data are very good. As long as we continue to follow this path, our country's economic potential is still very large. There is no need to stand up now and win the first place.
According to Zhao Yi's estimate, according to relevant government statistics, my country's GDP this year is approximately US$3 trillion. It is more appropriate for this data to be made public.
If it weren't for the fact that the export scale of Zhao Yi's enterprises is so huge that it would be impossible to hide it even if he wanted to. After all, others are not fools and can calculate it themselves. Otherwise, the domestic statistics may be even smaller than this.
It can be seen from here that in the past few years, my country's international trade surplus has actually been very large. In fact, it has caused dissatisfaction in some countries. Otherwise, my country would not have been invited to participate in the signing of the "GC Agreement" last year.
It's just that my country's main export products are high-tech products, which are needed by other countries, so they actually don't have much to do in this regard.
Even companies like Hualong Clothing Company are not just processing companies. They are also brand operating companies and have a relatively strong ability to withstand cost increases.
As long as it is not clearly targeted at our country when formulating policies, it will not have a big impact on our country's export trade, because everyone is treated equally, and these export industries of our country clearly have an advantage.
The current world situation requires our country more. Even if they have opinions, they will not clearly formulate discriminatory policies. Otherwise, relations will become stalemate and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Moreover, our country is not a RB. It has complete autonomy and cannot be manipulated by them. This has resulted in a relatively peaceful international trade period in recent years.
Of course, our country does not only export but not import. In the past, our country's industrial exports grew strongly, but its agricultural development was lackluster. Of course, the high-end agricultural products of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company are not included in this list.
In order to meet the people's demand for agricultural products, our country actually imports a large amount of agricultural products. At present, the most developed agriculture in the world is hawk sauce, so hawk sauce can relieve the anger and alleviate the conflicts between the two sides.
In addition, there is the import of some machinery and equipment and mineral resources, but these are not very large, because Zhao Yi's companies use machinery and equipment produced by his brother company.
These imported equipment are actually from other domestic companies. The main reason for this situation is that domestic companies have blindly worshiped foreign mechanical equipment before, and Tiangong Precision Instrument Company is also relatively Buddhist.
But this situation is slowly changing now. Domestic companies are increasingly purchasing high-end equipment from precision instrument companies. Although the price is a bit more expensive, it is indeed much easier to use than foreign products.
Fortunately, with the current large-scale domestic infrastructure construction plan underway, my country's ore imports will increase significantly, which will play a certain role in balancing the international trade surplus.
However, as my country's agricultural development accelerates, the scale of my country's imports of agricultural products cannot be said to shrink. At least the growth rate will slow down significantly, and there may even be a phenomenon of my country exporting agricultural products on a large scale.
However, a long-term trade surplus is actually not conducive to the development of international trade. However, my country's domestic thirst for funds is currently very high, and it has not yet reached the stage of capital spillover.
After our country completes the first round of large-scale infrastructure plans, some of the capital will spill over, that is, it will invest in other countries, drive the economic development of other countries, and then allow them to have money to buy our products.
Under this economic background, it is not surprising that the number of people using the Internet in our country has bottomed out this year and reached close to 100 million, because urban residents generally have a good income and can afford it.
And as Chinese education companies comprehensively shift to the Internet teaching model, in addition to the need for Internet access for school teaching, you also need an Internet connection to use handheld computers for learning when you return home.
This allows my country's Internet to enter thousands of households at the fastest speed, so the people in the country are no strangers to the Internet and know what it is.
With the increase in income, more and more families will definitely buy computers. However, most domestic families currently have several children. Although their income is not high, if they want to buy a large amount of money to buy a computer, they still need to spend a lot of money. determination.
In addition, the Internet fees at United Internet Cafes are very low, which is much more cost-effective than buying a computer yourself. This causes most people to rather go to Internet cafes to play with computers and surf the Internet than to buy computers themselves.
But for singles, there is no such concern. Anyway, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. They are often more willing to spend money on their favorite products, rather than people who have already married, and they need to think and think about spending money.
It is precisely because of this judgment that after the United Internet Cafe opened, it basically did not expand its scale, and basically maintained the original scale of operations, because it was not cost-effective to expand further.
According to the development speed of our country, in about five years, most people will be able to easily buy a computer at home, and there will be no need to go to Internet cafes to play games online.
In addition, starting this year, farmers are moving into cities faster and faster, and the number of Internet users in our country will further expand, because Internet access can be said to be the cheapest form of entertainment consumption, and it is more suitable for farmers entering cities for the first time.
Therefore, the sudden increase in the number of Internet users in these 10 months is actually nothing. According to Zhao Yi's estimate, in the next year, Internet users are expected to reach about 200 million, and it will basically reach more than 600 million within 5 years. .
As long as the population reaches more than 500 million, my country's Internet industry will have a solid foundation for development, and the economic growth brought by the Internet industry cannot be ignored. (End of chapter)
