When Zhao Yi was eating, he saw Lao Li still there and realized that it was getting late, so he said, "Lao Li, you should go back first. It's getting late. I guess your wife is thinking about you."
"It's okay. After finishing the meal, wash the dishes and chopsticks. It's not too late to leave." Lao Li said nonchalantly.
Since Lao Li said this, Zhao Yi did not persuade him anymore. The older generation are more particular about doing things. Many people are more concerned about the essential work and will not indulge because of the tolerance of the patrons.
Just like the craftsmen hired by his family to do work when he was a child, even if there is no one to supervise the work, they will do the best within their own capabilities. There has never been any cheating or cheating.
But later on, the trend changed, and cleverness was regarded as ability, which made customers very uneasy about hiring people to do things, and they had to keep their minds in mind to feel at ease.
The emergence of this phenomenon is due to changes in values. Everything is about money, and even basic professional ethics are no longer required. Second, there are relatively large floating populations, and they are all in temporary employment relationships. After finishing the work, no one knows who is who. No one can find anyone.
For example, in rural areas, everyone knows people from all over the country. If something bad happens, such as cheating or cheating, it will spread throughout the country in a short period of time. Then your brand will be ruined and no one will invite you in the future. They work.
This can also be regarded as a kind of supervision by public opinion. It makes craftsmen very concerned about their reputation. Everyone has a strong sense of whether their work is good or not. Reputation is the basis for the survival of craftsmen in rural areas.
Later, urbanization began, and basically the same group of people came into the city. Without the original considerations, they no longer cared so much about reputation. They just wanted to make more money and make quick money.
As soon as Zhao was eating, he speeded up a bit, wanting to finish the dinner as early as possible so that Lao Li could go home early and not have to stay here for a long time.
Fortunately, Zhao Yi also equipped Lao Li with a grocery cart, so he didn't have to worry too much if he went back so late. It would be really uneasy if he was walking alone at night.
Zhao Yi finished the meal in ten minutes. Then he glanced at Zhou Jinyu and found that he had only eaten a small bowl. When Zhao Yi looked at her, he smiled and said, "I've finished eating too."
Zhao Yi's large appetite is simply due to high energy consumption, but Zhou Jinyu, as a girl, has a small appetite, and she must have eaten snacks while waiting for Zhao Yi to eat.
In fact, there are a lot of snacks in the Zhao family, but he usually doesn't like to eat them much. When he was at Prince Gong's Mansion, Zhou Jinyu would take them to school to eat, and probably gave them to his colleagues.
As for the safety of eating too many snacks, Zhao Yi is relatively reassured because these snack products are produced by Baiwei Food Company, and the additives and condiments they use are very safe.
Moreover, food health issues are fully considered during the production process. In this regard, the standards he implements are much stricter than international standards.
As for domestic standards, there is currently no unified standard because my country’s food industry was previously a traditional food industry with a low degree of industrialization and not many quality and safety issues.
However, Baiwei Food Company is currently working with relevant national departments to formulate industry standards related to processed foods. According to the wishes of Baiwei Food Company, of course, the higher the standard, the better.
Because high standards are not difficult for Baiwei Food Company, but for ordinary food processing companies, it means higher costs, and the competitiveness will naturally decrease.
Of course, high standards are not just for domestic companies, but will also have a disincentive effect on international imported products, because if they implement high standards, the cost will be much higher than that of Baiwei Food Company.
Because many new health food additives belong exclusively to Baiwei Food Company, if they want to use them, they need to purchase them from Baiwei Food Company, and the cost will definitely be high. Because this is a monopoly operation, high profits are inevitable.
Take Baiwei Food Company's new sweetener as an example. They have actually exported it to the world, but the usage is not high because the price is too expensive. If used in many products, it means losing money.
This is why the other two carbonated drink giants are still using ordinary sweeteners to produce carbonated drinks such as Coke instead of using new sweeteners, because once used, the price will rise sharply.
If competitors are of the same level, it's okay. The problem is that Baiwei Food Company also has its own carbonated drink brand, and its market share is growing.
The current pattern of carbonated drinks in the world is that the two companies of Eagle Sauce are willing to occupy the low-end market, while the carbonated drinks of Baiwei Food Company occupy the high-end market.
The price is twice that of ordinary cola products, and it occupies almost all the market share of the middle class and above. Moreover, because you don’t have to worry about health problems after drinking it, the per capita consumption has increased sharply.
Not only has it caught up with the other two companies in terms of quantity, but due to the higher selling price, the turnover is twice theirs and the profit margin is much higher than them.
Moreover, Baiwei Food Company has not given up on low-end products, but has not promoted them as main products. In addition, at the same price point, people will of course choose more familiar brands, and the sales volume accounts for only one-fifth of the low-end market.
Based on sales revenue, Baiwei Food Company is now considered an international food giant. However, due to the sub-brand marketing model, few people know that well-known brands belong to Baiwei Food Company if they are not careful.
Because Baiwei Food Company is involved in so many food fields, advanced technology, strong capital, broad channels, and modern management are enough to support the diversified development of Baiwei Food Company.
Nowadays, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, after fierce competition from Baiwei Food Company, are becoming more and more difficult to operate. You must know that ordinary Coca-Cola itself is not very profitable, and both rely on volume to obtain profits.
As a result, Baiwei Food Company snatched 40% of their market share, and this trend is still strengthening. After continuous publicity, consumers are paying more and more attention to food health issues.
Against this background, they naturally fell into operational difficulties. Their stock prices have fallen to cabbage prices. Baiwei Food Company has begun to consider acquiring these two companies.
What I like is not their assets, but their brand. Although their products are not very good, the brand is very well-known and still has great value.
If acquired by Baiwei Food Company, these brands can be used to do many things, quickly expand international sales share, and completely unify the carbonated beverage field.
But the idea is good. Whether or not Eagle Sauce will be sold is still unknown. You must know that these two brands can be regarded as their national brands. The acquisition is not only an economic issue, but also a face issue.
Regardless of whether it can be acquired, there is nothing wrong with trying. Even if it cannot be acquired, it will not affect the overall situation. Baiwei Food Company has the ability and confidence to continue to occupy the market.
In fact, this kind of acquisition does not only occur in the field of carbonated drinks. On the one hand, Baiwei Food Company is building its own brand, and on the other hand, it is acquiring a large number of well-known local brands in various countries.
In this case, it will be easier to enter the local market. Whether it is to continue to use the acquired brand or to occupy the magpie's nest and vacate the cage for birds, it is a good strategy.
After dinner, Zhao Yi and Zhou Jinyu watched TV for half an hour, which was both a digestion activity and a program for communication between the two parties.
Otherwise, living under the same roof, everyone is busy with their own things, and only seeing each other during meal time will feel like strangers, which is really not conducive to enhancing feelings.
After returning to his room, Zhao Yi sent an email to Tianwen University before going to bed, mainly asking them to pay attention to the ideological trends of students in the school and be prepared to actively intervene.
You must know that the number of foreign teachers teaching in Tianwen University is not low. If you really want to instigate and infiltrate, it will be much easier than in other schools.
It's just that although Tianwen University has become famous and has a certain academic status, it is a private university after all, which is still very different from public universities. Most people will not set their goals on Tianwen University.
Despite this, what should be done must still be done. If after reminding the senior management, problems occur in your university, wouldn't it be a slap in the face
However, his worries are only based on the situation in his previous life. Now the domestic economic development rate far exceeds the overall international level, and the country's public welfare is also quite adequate.
Compared to previous lives, it is much more difficult to stir up chaos, but most students have gone through special periods and are inevitably a little wild-minded, so it's hard to guess how things will end.
But what is certain is that it is definitely more difficult to set the pace. As long as people with a little foresight can see the country's progress with their own eyes and affirm the country's development path, they will not be easily led by others.
As for everything in the country being peaceful and no one stirring up trouble, Zhao Yi didn't believe it. With so many people in the country, it was impossible for everyone to have unified thoughts and it was impossible for all interests to be taken care of.
Even if it is taken care of, there are still people who are not satisfied with the benefits assigned to them and want more, so he never thinks that doing well will definitely win everyone's approval.
After instructing Tianwen University, Zhao Yi immediately sent a similar email to all his companies, asking the companies to manage their employees well and not to get involved in possible chaos.
Compared with schools, business management is much stricter, and most of the people who work are older, have been tempered by society, have certain experience, and are more pragmatic in their outlook than school students.
What's more important is that most employees are old and young, and a stable life is their first priority. Only when their interests are harmed will they be forced to fight.
As for doctrines and ideals, those are too lofty for them. They should walk the road steadily and do the things at hand diligently. Being pragmatic is what they should consider.
After finishing all this, he originally planned to deal with it later, which was to transfer the automotive motor power system project currently developed by Shenlong Automobile Company to Star Power Company.
First, they have not achieved results that satisfy him so far, and Shenlong Automobile Company did not have the technology and foundation in this area before.
The most important reason why he handed it over to them in the first place was that it was not urgent and he would let them study it for the time being. But now it is different. He is planning to skip fossil fuel vehicles in the country and directly launch electric vehicles.
This is more urgent. It must be launched as soon as possible, with performance that can reach or even surpass the current fossil fuel vehicles, and the price must be lowered to form a pattern of high, medium and low prices.
If it takes too long, the number of fossil fuel vehicles will be very high, and it will be very difficult to promote electric vehicles.
In fact, these are nothing. The most important thing is that the supporting equipment related to fossil fuel vehicles is redundant investment and will cause huge waste.
Although there are certain supporting facilities for fossil fuel vehicles, such as gas stations, etc., the scale does not need to be large. The extra funds can be invested in the construction of electric vehicle charging piles.
According to Zhao Yi's plan, electric vehicles will be promoted domestically. As for foreign countries, if there are no strong competitors, fossil fuel vehicles will still be the main sales products and electric vehicles will not be promoted.
The main reasons are as follows:
The first point is that the supporting facilities for foreign fossil fuel vehicles are very complete and the industrial chain is also very mature. People are also accustomed to fossil fuel vehicles and will not be very receptive to new things in the early stage.
The second point is that environmental awareness has not yet become the international mainstream. Although some people have mentioned this sporadically, it has not formed a trend.
In addition, their fossil fuel prices are relatively low, there is no urgent need to save money, and there is no awareness or demand, so it will definitely be more difficult to promote it.
The third point, and the most important point, is that if you want to use electric vehicles, you must build a large number of related supporting facilities, and these require the cooperation of others. It cannot be invested by Shenlong Motors.
Although Shenlong Automobile Company does make money, there is no need to invest in it, and it cannot be done by oneself, and it also requires the cooperation of other companies.
In addition, this has affected the interests of vested interests in the traditional industrial chain. Not to mention cooperating, they will try their best to prevent Shenlong Motors' electric vehicles from going on sale.
Since it is facing so many difficulties, there is no need for Shenlong Automobile Company to do it. Anyway, they also occupy an absolutely dominant position in the traditional automobile field and have no motivation to go out of their way to promote electric vehicles.
Unless they themselves are at a disadvantage in the traditional automotive field, they will use new technologies and new models to overtake in corners and erode the market share of their competitors.
Second, Star Power Company has accumulated some technical strength in motors. You must know that the power system of the high-speed rail is handed over to Star Power Company, and what drives the high-speed rail is the motor.
Although there are definitely big differences between the two motors, they also have a lot in common. Many technologies can be used by the two, which reduces R&D expenses and time.
Third, Shenlong Automobile Company itself is very large. If it also involves the research and development and manufacturing of such parts, its size will further expand, which is not a good thing.
There are specialties in the industry, and professional matters should be handled by professional companies. This can not only ensure that things in one's own field can be done well, but also can obtain more high-end parts and components.
Regardless of the fact that Shenlong Automobile Company's automobile materials come from Cornerstone Materials Company and its engine technology comes from Star Power Company, in fact, except for these two, Shenlong Automobile Company makes the rest by itself.
Although Shenlong Automobile Company has turned related auto parts into professional subsidiaries to operate, it does not deny that the business is already very complicated and there is no need to grasp them all.
In the past, if the domestic parts and components did not meet the requirements, we had to do it ourselves. We would not do everything ourselves. We would definitely focus on purchasing external parts.
Now that it has been started, it is impossible to give up. Moreover, these parts subsidiaries are no longer solely supplying Shenlong Automobile Company. Domestic automobile companies will also purchase it.
It's just that the current domestic car sales are not high, and the domestic business ratio is still very low. When the annual domestic sales exceed tens of millions of units in the future, the output value of this parts industry will not be low.
The fourth is Star Power's future plans. The elimination of fossil fuel vehicles is the general trend. Although it is impossible to achieve it globally in a short period of time, the trend will not change.
Once Star Power loses the traditional engine market, its strength will be significantly reduced. Although there are other power systems that need them, the market size is far smaller than the automobile market.
Although the unit prices of rocket engines and ship engines are very high, the quantity is not high, and the overall revenue is actually very low. It accounts for a relatively low proportion of Star Power Company's operating revenue.
The fifth is the need for industrial development. Zhao Yi has relatively few industrial layouts in the southwest region, except for the aviation industry and power industry in Chengdu.
Among them, the aviation industry can drive the development of Chengdu, but if it wants to drive the development of the entire Sichuan Province, its strength is still a bit weak, unless the other two aviation giants are bankrupted and dominate the global aviation market.
But Zhao Yi knew that this was impossible. No matter how good the quality of Star Express's aircraft was and how high their economic value was, they could not completely withdraw from the market.
Because this is not just a matter of two companies. Behind them, they have the support of the state. Even if they suffer losses, they will maintain their civil aviation industry.
Even if they lose the international market, they will still provide large-scale subsidies and support in their own country, because the market for hawk sauce and the European Community itself is large enough for them to survive.
Therefore, the power industry is particularly important to the southwest region, and the layout of the power industry can also be very flexible. It does not necessarily have to be all located in Chengdu, which is conducive to balancing the economy of the southwest region.
As for Chongqing, Zhao Yi plans to put part of the automobile industry and electronics industry there, and will be mainly responsible for part of the production tasks for domestic sales in the future.
However, because the domestic sales scale is still small, Zhao Yi has not made a special layout yet, but he can transfer the production of special vehicles there first to lay a solid foundation for future development.
We must know that after the start of my country's infrastructure construction, the demand for engineering vehicles has increased rapidly, and with the construction of large logistics, the demand for professional logistics transportation vehicles and cold chain transportation vehicles has also increased rapidly.
In the future, when the scale of urbanization reaches a certain level, there will be market demand for a variety of vehicles for other purposes. These are targeted at domestic market industries and do not need to be produced in coastal areas.
In the future, special large-scale production centers will be built in the southeast, northwest and other places in the country based on actual needs to try to meet the consumer needs of various regions in the country.
However, there is no need to mention these things now. It will not be too late to mention them again when the annual meeting is held. Just use one or two years to make a good layout in this regard.
Because according to Zhao Yi's prediction, in two years' time, the domestic market will usher in a big explosion, and internal demand will increase rapidly. It is necessary to make some special arrangements specifically for the domestic market. (End of chapter)
