Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0657 Emphasis means lack
"Of course. It's not time yet. When it's afternoon, you can see that there won't even be a place to stand." Li Chengnuo said, pointing to his stall.
"Has it been sent?"
"What are you sending? There are not enough good products to sell, and the matching products cannot be sold. Master Nan, can you help me talk to me and let me get more good products next time?"
Qinghe International is not a charity and is no exception to the common practices in the business world. Wholesalers particularly hate Qinghe International’s “matching” system.
Qinghe International operates some of its clothing stores itself, and sometimes it is inevitable to bet that a certain model of clothing will be a hot seller, so it will stock up in large quantities. If it wins, it will make a fortune. If it fails and causes a backlog of goods, it will reduce the price and force it on wholesalers.
If you want to get more good and best-selling goods, you can do so by pairing two good goods with one piece of overstocked goods. Wholesalers will accept this deal because it is profitable.
Qinghe International has not only tied down many small clothing factories, but also many wholesalers. Everyone has the same interests, and wholesalers are not allowed to seek higher branches. Qinghe International responds to the demands of wholesalers, provides the styles they need, and assists them in combating dissidents.
For example, if the stall or store next to the wholesaler does not purchase goods from Qinghe International, and there is overlap in the clothes between the two companies, and the sales of the overlapping parts are good, then Qinghe International will give concessions to the wholesaler and give the wholesaler a larger profit margin to manipulate.
If the neighbor sells it for 20, the wholesaler will sell it for 18. If the neighbor follows suit and lowers the price, the wholesaler will sell it for 15, or even approach the neighbor's purchase price.
It is not realistic for Qinghe International to monopolize the clothing wholesale business in Beijing and its surrounding areas. Instead of blindly attracting more occasional wholesalers, it is better to maintain long-term and stable wholesalers and help them grab more business.
In the current seller's market, Qinghe International's platform-based business thinking can reap more profits. When the seller's market begins to shift to a buyer's market, Qinghe International will become a simple rent collector and attract wholesalers from all over to rent stalls.
This is a slight adjustment from the idea that Nan Yi had at the beginning. After all, Nan Yi is not a god who can see clearly the changes several steps later.
Long-term planning is about arranging the direction, not Zhuge Liang's brilliant plans.
A rag bag was given to the executor thousands of miles away. When he arrived at the place and opened it, he saw densely written words on it: set up camp at 3 o'clock, cook at 5 o'clock, the enemy general will have hemorrhoids at 7 o'clock, and launch a surprise attack at 7:02;
Either forty-nine soldiers, divided into 49 groups, put on ghost masks, besiege the enemy's 100,000-strong army, and achieve an overwhelming victory by attacking and hooking.
"Has Qinghe International restricted the quantity of goods you can purchase?"
"No." Li Chengnuo waved his hand and said, "I'm asking if you can use less of the overstocked goods. They're not selling well."
"Don't even think about it. It's impossible. Qinghe International is not a charity. You can't take all the benefits. Instead of trying to take advantage of this loophole, you might as well think about how to expand your business."
"Is there really no hope?" Li Chengnuo asked without giving up.
"Don't think about it, it's hopeless."
Nan Yi picked up a pair of sandals on the stall, and pulled the iron buckle with his fingers. His feet immediately felt a dull pain. He didn't know how many times he had been scratched by these iron buckles and bled in his previous life.
"How much is this pair of sandals?"
"Six dollars in your hand."
“It’s not cheap.”
Nan Yi put the sandals back to their original place and picked up several other pairs of sandals to look at them.
"Uncle Nan, why are you here today?" Li Chengnuo saw Nan Yi rummaging around in his stall without saying anything, and he was worried.
"Nothing, I just remembered that I haven't been here for a long time, so I thought of coming over to take a look, and here I am, I came to your place. Forget it, I won't disturb your business, I'll go to the front and take a look."
"No, Mr. Nan, since you are here, please give me some face and have a meal together." Li Chengnuo said immediately when he heard that Nan Yi was leaving.
"Maybe next time. I've already made an appointment today. Besides, I can't drink at noon. I have something else to do in the afternoon."
"Okay, next time then."
As soon as Nan Yi looked in, the stall owner next to Li Chengnuo spoke up, "Master, who is this host? Look at you, you look like a eunuch."
"Hey, Principal [nickname, Xiao Zhang], you are a Sipailou Leizi (you have no business dealing with this part), go wherever you want."
Li Chengnuo and his neighbor are competitors. The clothes they sell have a lot of overlap. It is said that competitors are enemies, so how could the relationship between the two be good?
To Li Chengnuo, Nan Yi was an important figure and a very useful connection to him. He was also a smart man, so how could he be so foolish as to tell his enemies about his connections?
After leaving the clothing market, Nan Yi went to the Xidan store of Jingxi Tesco to take a look.
The business of this store is still acceptable, but it is still three points worse than last year, and the turnover has dropped by at least 35%.
After all, electrical appliances are large items. Ordinary people have to spend several years' savings to buy a TV or a refrigerator. Before making a purchase, they will definitely ask all the possible ways to buy one, not to mention basic practices like comparing prices from three stores. Forget about going from Xidan to Xinjiekou. As long as there is a way, even if they go to Yinguo to carry the goods back, no one will think it is too far.
Nan Yi didn’t know anyone in the Xidan store, and he even called Liuzi to check the account book. So after looking at the account book, he didn’t stay in the store for long.
He hurried back to the old villa and made some simple food. After eating, Nan Yi went to Wudai in Sanlitun Xingfu Village.
We are a teahouse, located where our dance hall used to be.
Just as Nan Yi expected, our dance hall barely lasted less than a year. Ma Mo quit and Wang Lu had no intention of taking over. Nan Yi saw that the rent was not due yet, so he let Yan Du take over and turned it into a teahouse, changing its name.
The decoration is still the same as before, and Nan Yi did not spend any money to redecorate it. Although it is called a teahouse, it is actually a style suitable for drinking.
You know what, even though this nondescript teahouse seems to be doing quite well.
The reason is simple: the tea is good.
Lu Yu Tea Industry has been developing for five years. Although most of its efforts are spent outside of China, it has not been idle in the mainland. Procurement channels for several famous teas have been established. In Nannuo Mountain in Yunnan Province, Lu Yu has cooperated with the local Hani people to build the Nannuo Mountain Pu'er Ecological Park.
In other places, Lu Yu Tea Industry will not intervene in the planting process for the time being. It will have to wait until the policies become clearer before tentatively investing some money. If the momentum is not right, it will admit the loss and leave.
In his previous life, Nan Yi went to a city to investigate the investment environment and saw a large slogan on the wall that read “Don’t let any investor suffer any injustice in ××”.
At that time, when he saw the slogan, he felt inexplicable fear and his calves trembled violently.
This is a bad habit he developed when he was a child. In his hometown, there is a small alley between two rows of houses near the river. It is rarely visited and there is no public toilet nearby. People who are in a hurry often go to the base of the alley to relieve themselves.
Over time, the alley became smelly.
I don't know when, but a red slogan "No urination or defecation allowed here, violators will be at their own risk" was painted on the wall of the alley.
But when this person gets anxious, he doesn't care about whether he is conceited or not.
One day, when Nan Yi was passing by an alley, he felt the urge to pee, so he went to the red words to do it as he was used to. But when he was halfway through peeing, two big wolfhounds pounced on him.
Hey, he's a big wolfdog. How can he not panic?
It happened in a flash. Nan Yi ignored the faucet pouring water on his hands and didn't even bother to close the city gate. He just ran away.
But two legs cannot outrun eight legs. He was caught up after running for a while, and a large piece of meat was torn off his calf by the wolfhound. From then on, whenever Nan Yi saw similar slogans with red letters, he would think of the dog in that alley that year, and the piece of meat he had lost, and his calves would tremble uncontrollably.
Since that inspection, Nan Yi has set himself a rule of "three no's" - don't throw it when you see red slogans, don't throw it when you see vinegar, and don't throw it when you see barbecue.
Nan Yi picked up the tea brought by the Tea Doctor, and the number "JQK" suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Haha, hook it over, circle it, and torture it slowly. Live by the mountain, live by the water, live by the water, live by the factory."
Nan Yi laughed at himself, thinking of the application report submitted by Houji Agriculture on conducting research on cement ground covering planting method.
This technology is very promising. Once successfully researched, any place paved with cement can be used for planting. Perhaps in the future wheat and rice can be planted on highways, achieving a multifunctional effect along the way.
After hesitating for a while, Nan Yi decided to invest, not a lot, just 10 trillion US dollars.
You should be brave enough to try, what if you succeed?
"Hmm? Does the Nan Group have 10 trillion?" Nan Yi suddenly realized, "It seems that they don't have... Then ask if they are willing to lend it. If they are willing to lend it, we can invest."
Putting aside all these trivial matters, Nan Yi took out a book on photovoltaic technical materials and started reading it.
Nan Yi read the book on photovoltaics out of his exploration in agriculture. Photovoltaic agriculture is a major branch of future agriculture. Whether it is automation or intelligence, it will be inseparable from electricity in the future.
Compared with the harshness of wind power generation on the environment and the disadvantages it may cause, photovoltaic power generation, which can generate electricity as long as there is sunlight, is obviously superior.
Since French scientists discovered the photovoltaic effect of liquids in 1839, solar cells have gone through a long development history of 148 years.
The first selenium solar cell was invented in the 1870s.
In the 1950s, the Pioneer 1 satellite was launched into space, in the 1960s, the spacecraft “Number Launch” was launched into space, and in the 1970s, the University of Delaware built the world’s first photovoltaic house;
Until now, Australia has produced the SolarTrek, a photovoltaic-powered car that can travel 200 kilometers a day. Photovoltaic technology has become quite mature, but what is lacking is that the return rate for large-scale commercial applications is too low, and it is not yet feasible for popularization.
However, as long as the photovoltaic industry can continue along the correct track and the "photovoltaic sutra" is not taken away by crooked monks , it will have a promising future.
Unfortunately, it is really difficult not to read the wrong scriptures.
Since the time of Fan Li, taking an unconventional approach has been an old tradition. When it came to Lu Buwei, he started hoarding goods. At present, businessmen have evolved in the direction of making quick, big and easy money.
Once a hot topic is promoted and some financial means are used, it is easy to make hundreds of times the profit. The investment is small and the return is huge. Given this reality, who would be willing to engage in research and development with large investment and unknown return?
Besides, how many ordinary people understand technology? They just brag about others, saying this one fills a gap, that one is leading the world, and they brag about one point of achievement as one hundred points of credit.
After doing some research on something, regardless of whether it is mature or not, or whether it is suitable for popularization or not, you just say it is mature and that the investment will have a huge return. You then promote it and trick others into buying your stuff. Who cares if others will lose money ? Just make some money first.
With the money, you can start a new business and develop products with greater market prospects, such as the "automated IQ tax harvester."
Nan Yi was looking at the documents here, while on the other side, in Shencun, a signing ceremony for a joint venture was taking place.
On the podium, Ge Cuizhu signed her name on a contract, stood up, exchanged the contract in her hand with her partner next to her, and signed her name again.
Then, they stood up again and shook hands.
On the side, Lai Huri's father Lai Liye took the lead in applauding, and under his leadership, the entire venue burst into applause.
"Mr. Ge and Mr. Wan, congratulations to the Kenzhi Group and KSS Group on the successful signing of the contract. On behalf of the city, I would like to congratulate the establishment of Zhengnan Holdings." Lai Liye said after the applause died down.
Ge Cuizhu smiled and said to Lai Liye: "Director Lai, thank you very much. Without your concern and help, we and KSS would not have reached an agreement so quickly."
"Yes, Director Lai, this time I came back, I felt the enthusiasm of the motherland and saw the prosperous development of Shencun. I am very confident that Zhengnan Holdings will develop rapidly here." Wan Chongshan said as soon as Ge Cuizhu finished speaking.
Wan Chongshan, a Malaysian Chinese, is the president of KSS Group.
There is not much to introduce about this group. It is a Malaysian group company that is on the verge of bankruptcy. All the high-quality assets that should be sold have been sold long ago. Shennong Nanliang bought the remaining empty shell at a low price and used it as a springboard to form Zhengnan Holdings in a joint venture with the Kenzhi Group.
Zhengnan Holdings is a company dedicated to the production of edible oil. It will start with soybean oil and gradually expand its business to peanut oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, and camellia oil.
An hour later, Nan Yi's pager rang.
After pressing a button, Nan Yi saw the digital code on it, smiled knowingly, and put the pager back into his pocket.
There are still many areas that the Kenzhi Group needs to intervene in, but Nan Yi dare not let the Kenzhi Group swell or expand again. Edible oil is the last new area added by the Kenzhi Group. In other areas, no investment will be made in the name of the Kenzhi Group.
For example, Tieshan Dairy, which is still on paper, will be an independent company. From a legal perspective, it will have no connection with the Kenzhi Group.
The registered capital of Zhengnan Holdings was paid in at 200 million yuan, with the Kenzo Group holding a 55% stake. The 110 million yuan invested was borrowed from the bank by Yamanomi using Japanese yen as a guarantee for the Kenzo Group.
In the next step, the eel farming business of the Kenzo Group will be divested and sold to Japan's Baoguo Suisan. The funds from the sale will be used to repay part of the bank loans, allowing Yama no Wei to get out of the predicament.
In order to repay its debts, the Kenzhi Group reluctantly gave up its high-quality assets. Once it recovered, it made a big step into the caviar field. After the business matures, except for KELP kelp caviar, the other parts will still be packaged and sold.
Nan Yi has to start controlling the scale of the Reclamation Group so that it doesn't look too delicious or too aggressive. He doesn't want to see the common prosperity plan aborted, and he cannot lose the right to speak in the Reclamation Group for the time being.
"Nan Batian, you are here too?"
"Your word 'yeah' is very powerful. Why, you are a cultured person, and you are here to commemorate your Waterloo?"
