The technological flood of rebirth

Chapter 536: Let’s talk about the service industry again

Views:

In fact, the scope of the service industry is very broad. According to the previous classification of the service industry by the World Trade Organization, it includes 11 major categories and 142 subcategories. Zhao Yi's companies have actually been involved in most service categories.

It's just that there is still room for improvement in the service categories, and even some service categories are inconvenient for Zhao Yi's companies to get involved in, such as postal services in the communication service category, which is a government exclusive business.

Among communication services, express mail services, telecommunications services, and audio-visual services are all covered by his companies, but some services are not yet very developed.

Some service projects are very large and relatively successful, such as educational services. China Education Company is involved in almost all categories of educational services, but this part of the business is not for profit.

Similar to education services, there are also health and medical services, which are very complicated. There are medical and health services that are not for profit, and there are also medical services that are for profit. The scope of services has also expanded to the global market.

Environmental services are basically provided by Yaoguang Environmental Management Company. Although Zhao Yi did not receive any money from this company, the work they did was fully recognized by Zhao Yi.

Over the years, it is precisely because of the unremitting efforts of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company that it has not only curbed the trend of environmental deterioration in the north, but also made great achievements in desert land management.

The area of desert and desertified land he directly manages alone exceeds 120,000 square kilometers, equivalent to the area of a small province. It not only improves the environment in northern my country, but also greatly expands the living space of our country.

It was also on these lands after governance that the large-scale Tianji Dairy Company was born, which not only provided a sufficient supply of milk products for the Chinese people, but also created a large amount of international trade through exports.

The related environmental management and management of existing grassland land in cooperation with the government also covers a large area, which has effectively curbed the desertification phenomenon in Inner Mongolia and injected new vitality into the grassland economy of Inner Mongolia.

This is only the land environmental management business. Other businesses such as clean water source business, urban garbage disposal, etc., provide good solutions to improve my country's urbanization pollution problem.

Now they have set their sights on the management of the Loess Plateau. When this aspect of the business is almost complete, they will then carry out environmental management of the Yellow River Basin.

Although these works have not brought him much benefit so far, their work results have not only been recognized by him, but also the government has highly praised their work.

It's just that Fluclight Environmental Management Company has relatively few businesses abroad. The most is the desalination plant built in countries in the Middle East. The output value is not bad, but because it is not unique, the international attention is not high.

As for the land environmental management business that is being assisted in Saudi Arabia, this business has attracted the attention of some Middle Eastern countries, but it will take nearly 10 years to see the final results.

To be honest, if this kind of greening operation is carried out in the desert, if the climate and environment are not fundamentally changed, it will slowly return to its original appearance as time goes by. Unless constant manual intervention is required, it can be maintained. Better.

The several deserts and sandy lands managed by Fluolight Environmental Management Company in China are not actually natural desert areas, but are the result of over-development and climate change.

Once such a desert is managed and the local climate conditions are improved, it can exist stably for a long time. Even with manual maintenance, the maintenance cost is relatively low.

For example, Mu Us Ranch and Tengger Ranch are planned to carry out small-scale maintenance once every 10 years and large-scale maintenance once every 50 years.

Although large-scale farming cannot be carried out in these areas, there is still no big problem for grazing and planting trees. Moreover, planting a large number of trees in Jilin Badaan will actually improve the local rainfall intensity and wind intensity.

Shangtong Trading Company is providing tourism-related services, and they are currently doing very well. After his advice again this time, the future development prospects will be even higher.

Entertainment, cultural and sports services, including entertainment services, services of news agencies, libraries, archives, museums and other cultural services, sports services and other entertainment services.

He has companies involved in most of these businesses, and he is even doing quite well in some areas, such as entertainment services, news agency services, libraries and other entertainment services.

As for archives and museums, he is not prepared to do it himself. The state units are much stronger than him in this area, and their resources are much stronger than him. There is no need for him to get involved.

But in other cultural fields, he has plans. For example, he asked Qing Ning Entertainment Company to support the development of domestic traditional culture and art, which falls into this type of service.

The only thing that is not involved is sports services. It may be difficult or not difficult to do this work, it depends on how he views this issue.

In China, top athletes all belong to the national team. As a private enterprise, it is still difficult to draw on resources in this area. Unless there are fewer restrictions in this area, he will have a chance.

However, sports services involve a lot of content, not only hosting top sports events and other activities, but also providing good sports activity services to urban residents, which can also be regarded as sports services.

For example, Shangtong Trading Company has built a large number of gyms across the country. Although they are currently operating so-so, they can still be regarded as sports services.

Others, such as the urban sports venues built by China Housing Corporation during the urbanization process, including the future operations of these venues, can also be regarded as sports services.

It's just that the current development situation of this kind of civilian sports service is not particularly good. The people have just become rich and have no consumer awareness in this area, so the scale of the industry is naturally not large.

Otherwise, the fitness service company under Shangtong Trading Company would not be operating so bleakly. It can only be said to be barely maintaining operations. It is basically impossible to achieve greater profits at present.

As for why they continue to operate, of course Shangtong Trading Company is optimistic about the prospects of this service field and is just taking advantage of the situation in advance. As long as there is no large-scale loss, let them continue to operate.

Moreover, it is the responsibility of Shangtong Trading Company to provide domestic people with richer life and entertainment. It does not mean that they will close down if they do not make money. There are many other businesses such as fitness services under Shangtong Trading Company. .

He has always emphasized to his companies that although they are commercial companies and engage in business activities for profit, for a company as large as theirs today, it is not advisable to only act in their own interests.

In addition to operating profit-making projects, they also need to provide richer services to society. Even if these services are currently at a loss, they must continue to be moderate.

What's more, many services do not mean that they will continue to lose money. Many business losses are only temporary. As long as they get through it and usher in new opportunities, they can achieve profits.

Moreover, the proportion of these loss-making service projects in their overall projects is not large, or even negligible. Shangtong Trading Company is fully capable of bearing such losses.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi intends to let Shangtong Trading Company set up a domestic sports event operation service company to cooperate with relevant national departments to create our own super sports event.

Not to mention whether this can make money, at least it can greatly enrich the entertainment life of our people, and at the same time, it can also provide more jobs for people engaged in sports in the country.

However, in the process of this cooperation, he still wanted to use his company as the leader to carry out service operations in this area. He really couldn't stand the way the men's football team was in his previous life, which was really a bit embarrassing.

Moreover, a society that has been at peace for a long time will slowly undergo an aesthetic shift, and femininity will gradually become popular, while masculinity will gradually lose. It does not seem to be a big problem in the short term, but if things go on like this, we will have to pay attention to it.

If any country or nation wants to exist in the world, it must be masculine and have high aspirations, instead of indulging in the whirlwinds. This will have no future. Once a crisis occurs, there will be very few people who can stand up. not enough.

Vigorously developing sports is the best way to display masculine beauty in peaceful times. It is also an important way to inspire people to strengthen their bodies. It can also guide people's aesthetic direction.

However, to achieve this, it is not only necessary to hold super sports events, which is only one part of it, but more importantly, to provide ordinary people with a wealth of physical exercise venues and services.

Let physical exercise no longer stop watching sports events on TV, but enter thousands of households and become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. Only in this way can it achieve the desired effect.

He believes that if women are not proud of their femininity and men are not proud of their masculinity, then the society will gradually be torn apart, and the consequences of the misalignment of social roles will lead to a series of problems.

Therefore, if he wants to get involved in the sports service industry, he does not just focus on one point, but wants to start from the overall point of view and formulate a complete and feasible plan for overall promotion.

The first is to carry out more physical education courses in schools instead of the current two physical education classes per week. This will not achieve any physical exercise effect, and it will not be able to provide more physical exercise guidance to students.

He feels that in addition to common physical exercise programs, my country's martial arts programs can be appropriately incorporated into school physical education courses. This is the fastest course to cultivate masculinity.

At the same time, more courses on cultivating femininity are provided for female students. In fact, there are already some courses in this area, and traditional music, chess, calligraphy and painting are taught, and these are learned by both male and female students.

What he wanted to do was to set up courses specifically suitable for women, such as bodybuilding, dance, flower arrangement, etc. These courses would greatly promote the cultivation of women's soft beauty.

It’s just not that easy to launch so many new courses. On the one hand, it’s the lack of teacher resources, and on the other hand, it’s the consumption of funds.

In fact, Zhao Yi is not particularly concerned about funding issues. The amount of education funds today is still considerable, and even if it is insufficient, he is willing to subsidize it.

But he is a little helpless regarding the lack of teachers. This is different from teaching textbook knowledge. Textbook knowledge can be made up for by intelligent teachers. Even piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be taught through videos.

Although the effect of using video teaching to cultivate piano, chess, calligraphy and painting may not be comparable to that of teachers' personal guidance, it can at least be popularized.

His purpose in conducting these courses is not to make everyone become top talents in these areas, but to cultivate students' sentiments, cultivate their artistic temperament, and at the same time give them a certain basis for appreciation of art.

The reason for doing this is that in his previous life, he couldn't stand the fact that a few people have the right to speak in the art field. It is because there are fewer people with a foundation of art appreciation that those half-hearted artists and writers are allowed to bluff.

Of course, it also has something to do with the low cost of teaching in this area and its widespread popularity. If it cannot be popularized, then schools will not teach these things.

The primary responsibility of compulsory education is not to cultivate high-end talents, but to lead the popularization of education. If it cannot be universalized, there is no need to include it in the compulsory education curriculum. The most it can do is to carry out paid training courses for elite training.

Although there is no shortage of talents in martial arts and dance in our country, if we want to widely popularize them in schools, the number of teachers required will be very large, which is far from filling the gap in this area.

And as a teacher, no matter what kind of teacher you are, the most important thing is your moral character. If your moral character is not good, these people cannot be allowed to mix in the teaching team, which will eliminate some people.

He just has this idea. As for how to implement it, detailed evaluation is needed. Fortunately, these are popular courses and do not need to be too advanced.

However, if we want to really run these courses well, it is not just about universal education, but we must work hard on cultivating high-end talents. At least normal colleges and universities need to speed up the training of teacher talents in this area.

Chinese education companies currently invest the most in normal colleges, followed by science and engineering colleges, and finally social science colleges.

Now that his idea has emerged, Chinese education companies will invest more in normal colleges and universities, which will probably cause dissatisfaction with other colleges and universities.

Previously, it could be said that the purpose was to train more professional teachers for compulsory education. Even if everyone had opinions, it was difficult to express them clearly. After all, it is a fact that our country has a shortage of teachers in the compulsory stage.

As institutions of higher learning, if compulsory education is well run, it can also provide them with more outstanding talents. They are also the indirect beneficiaries of this initiative.

Now if we increase investment in art majors such as martial arts, dance, flower arrangement, etc., and further increase the proportion of normal higher education institutions in the overall higher education funding, other higher education institutions may stop doing so.

The main reason why he does not put these art investments in art colleges is because normal colleges and universities specialize in training teachers for compulsory education. They do not need to be particularly advanced in these aspects, as long as they have a solid foundation.

If students feel that they are talented and want to make a living, they can pass the college entrance examination and enter professional art schools to study. For most students, it only needs to be popularized.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Yi planned to let the Chinese pharmaceutical company provide the money and set up a special fund instead of using the special account of the Chinese education company, so that other higher education institutions would have no reason to object.

In the past year, Chinese pharmaceutical companies have made a lot of money internationally with their messy drugs. There is no great pressure to spend some funds to subsidize education.

Chinese pharmaceutical companies' weight-loss drugs, fat-increasing drugs, aphrodisiacs, hair growth hormones, height-increasing drugs and other drugs are selling like crazy internationally. Although these drugs are not considered mainstream compared to disease treatment drugs, the market size is huge. .

Ordinary people in European and American countries are generally obese, and weight-loss drugs are a boon to them. They feel dissatisfied with their bodies. Fat-increasing drugs solve their troubles, and aphrodisiacs solve the unspeakable secrets of men around the world.

Biochemicals are not very popular in European and American countries, and the purchase rate is very high. At the beginning, due to insufficient supply, there was even a rush to buy.

As for height-increasing drugs, people from Japan, South Korea and other countries buy the most drugs. Domestic sales have gradually increased in the second half of the year, and they are on track to catch up.

In addition, there are many other miscellaneous drugs such as scar removal drugs and "soft tissue hyperplasia drugs". Some are very expensive while others are relatively cheap.

For example, weight-loss drugs are relatively popular among the public. The main reason is that these drugs are not a one-time-and-forever solution. In the later stage, it mainly depends on whether the individual's living habits are healthy. Therefore, the market size is large and the price is naturally cheap.

Disposable drugs such as perfect scar removal drugs, "soft tissue hyperplasia drugs", and height-increasing drugs are relatively expensive. After all, they are just a one-time business. There may be a lot of them in the early stage of the market, but they are in the reduction market, so expensive prices are inevitable. of.

The sales revenue of these drugs has reached half of the sales revenue of disease drugs, which means that the annual sales revenue is close to 500 billion yuan.

The main reason is that these drugs from Chinese pharmaceutical companies are very effective and have no side effects. They are so consumer-friendly that no one who has the conditions will refuse their drugs.

Since Chinese pharmaceutical companies have received such a large amount of extra income this year, and it is still in the tax-free stage, investing part of the funds in the education field is regarded as paying part of the tax in advance.

For example, in the business services category, his subsidiaries are also involved, but the coverage is not particularly wide. For example, the professional services provided by the three major service companies are far more than just these three aspects.

However, he is not particularly interested in this. It would be very good to be able to provide these three major types of professional services. As for the rest, he just lets it happen naturally without any force.

There are also computers and related services. His software companies are very professional, covering a very wide range, and their service income is also very huge. They are currently the best.

Research and development services are mixed in this aspect. Although each of its companies has large research institutions, they all serve the company and have few social service projects.

The Green Seed Fund he invested in mainly supports basic science fields and has low commercial value, so it cannot be said to have a large output value.

As for providing professional scientific research services to external parties, Tianwen University currently does a good job of doing so, but in total, it is still not worth mentioning, and it is not as large as the scientific research projects they have invested in themselves.

In this regard, the performance of his affiliates is not as good as that of state-owned scientific research institutes. After reminding the Ministry of Science and Development last time, they have carried out great reforms in this regard and compiled a large number of products that can be used for commercialization. technology and applied for a patent.

Most of these patents are licensed to the public and play a certain role in promoting my country's industrialization. Most of his research institutes are engaged in their own projects, and the proportion of public licenses is very low.

Others, such as financial services, transportation services, sales services, construction and related engineering services, some are very successful, and some are just involved.

Although China Housing Corporation is related to construction services, it does not provide these services to the outside world. Instead, it belongs to Party A and purchases services from other service companies.

Unless they wait until the planned city is completed before they can provide professional housing rental, maintenance, decoration and other services, then they will be a construction service company in the true sense.

After organizing these thoughts into documents, he sent them to various companies for them to handle as appropriate. Even with the China Education Company, he did not use an imperative tone.

Although the China Education Company belongs to his industry, it shoulders some of the responsibilities of the country. It is not entirely a superior-subordinate relationship. Matters are resolved through discussion rather than forceful orders.

For other companies, he also uses the form of suggestions. After all, they have done well enough in some aspects. He just points out the existing flaws and lets them consider them based on their actual situation.

As long as you don't turn a deaf ear to his words, it will be more or less effective. After all, if these things are done well, it will be good for the company itself, and the influence of the company leader will be further expanded.

For many people in charge, the pursuit of their own economic interests is not high now. After all, their income has exceeded that of the vast majority of the people. Now, their pursuit of their own influence is relatively strong.

Zhao Yi was noncommittal about this. As long as they did not harm the interests of the company and the country, it was human nature to pursue honor. People always hope to leave a good name throughout their lives. Unless they are incapable, they will be willing to remain unknown.

But whether there are hidden dangers, Zhao Yi can't say now. Anyway, as mentioned before, it is always necessary to prepare backup plans, just in case.

Just as Zhao Yi continued to read other emails, he saw an interesting email, which was sent from Jindun Technology Company. It had a great role in promoting the development of Jindun Technology Company. (End of chapter)
