Plane Merchant's Dream of a Powerful Country

ps: Thanks to the readers, "You Xichen" for rewarding 100 vertical and horizontal coins^_^

The main plane is Yanhuang Continent, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province.

As Yanhuang's largest industrial manufacturing base in China, the annual industrial output value of Dongguan City exceeds the annual industrial output value of many small and medium-sized countries in the world.In terms of the amount of gdp it creates every year, it is the envy of many surrounding provinces and cities.But the Prophet of the Spring River Plumbing Duck, only the enterprises in Dongguan know what the world has been like in the past two or three years, and whether the small life is comfortable or not.

Generally speaking, after 30 years of reform and opening up and survival of the fittest, companies that can still survive in the highly competitive land of Dongguan are basically divided into two categories: one is a giant company like Huawei, which controls everything from technology From research and development to manufacturing and production, from product design to system integration, we can provide customers with a wide range of complex package solutions.The result of this is that perhaps Huawei's individual product price is not the lowest, but Huawei's bidding scheme is often the most economical and worry-free based on the total quotation after considering the demand for each module of large-scale engineering systems at home and abroad, which is also its ultimate ability. The fundamental reason why government companies around the world have repeatedly won big bids.The other category is small and micro enterprises that are very small and easy to turn around.This kind of enterprise is easy to turn around because of its small size, and it can do whatever industry makes money. Therefore, industries such as counterfeit mobile phones, toy manufacturing, and luggage wholesale, whose survival time and ability are determined by the speed of reaction, are often a paradise for such enterprises. Where the competitive advantage lies.

Generally speaking, Dongguan's manufacturing industry is like a dumbbell standing upright, with two ends large and the middle thin.However, from the perspective of profit, because many multinational companies have mastered a series of links and elements such as the design of the industrial chain, raw material procurement, transportation, warehousing, sales, after-sales, branding, and standards, only the production link with the lowest profit is left in Yanhuang. , so the profits of most foundry companies here are actually very low, and they only earn a processing fee for food and clothing. The world economic crisis and financial crisis that began to spread in 07 slowed down the demand of people in developed countries, which directly led to a decrease in orders for Yanhuang factories.The result of this is that large companies like Huawei that have their own brands and hold thousands of technical patents are becoming more and more competitive, and their brand awareness among the public is also getting higher and higher, while small and micro companies that mainly rely on foreign orders to survive and A large number of private workshops and factories closed down, changed jobs, or their bosses absconded with money, leaving only a large number of low-level migrant workers who did not get their due wages.

From the second half of 13, with the stimulus of a series of huge orders thrown out by Wang Fan, the "domestic demand" in Yanhuang was gradually activated, and the derived gdp effect began to boost the manufacturers in Dongguan.Then coupled with the release and operation of the virtual world "I buy" platform, a large number of small and micro enterprises in Dongguan have been resurrected.However, with the arrival of January 14, 1, after the Yanhuang government announced the cancellation of the export tax rebate policy for some export commodities, the company once again ushered in the crossroads of the big test and development.

In Dongguan Mingjia Toys Factory, owner Chen Jia is discussing the production plan for the new year with partner Sun Ming.

"Mr. Sun, today is January 1th. From the 4st, the export tax rebate for toys at the customs has been officially cancelled." Chen Jiaxian said.

"I also asked a few friends from customs and the government, and they all said that the cancellation of export tax rebates is not a temporary policy, and it is likely to continue in the future. They hinted that the upper levels of the country have begun to adjust the export direction of some small commodities. The highest level seems to be I hope that this part of production capacity will serve the domestic market." Sun Ming, who has a strong network and mainly solves the company's external development, relationship, and coordination issues, replied after taking a puff of cigarette.

"Then will we still accept the order from Stephen this time?" Chen Jia frowned, hesitating.

Stephen is a customer of the company in Stars and Stripes, and also the largest overseas customer of Mingjia Toy Factory. His annual orders account for about one-third of the entire company.Thanks to his list, Mingjia Toy Factory can maintain an operating rate of more than 50% during the economic crisis.However, at the end of 13, with the weak domestic demand of Stars and Stripes, the content of Stephen's new order to Mingjia Toy Factory began to change. He asked for a 5% price drop and a 30% reduction in the order quantity.

"Our net profit is about 6%, right?" Sun Ming asked.

"I asked the accountant to do the calculation carefully. Last year it was 5.3%. This was under the condition of enjoying export tax rebates. If the tax rebates were excluded, it would actually be a loss." Chen Jia, who pays attention to the internal details of the company, picked up a piece of The A4-sized analysis report and data charts were handed over to Sun Ming.

"Is it a loss?" Sun Ming's eyes are fixed on the forecast at the bottom of the analysis report. Due to the increase in unit costs caused by the cancellation of export tax rebates and the reduction in scale, it is estimated that Stephen's order will bring about normal operation of the company, but an 8% loss will occur at the end of the year. .A few minutes later, Sun Ming said, "You should have made a decision, right?"

"En!" Chen Jia looked at Sun Ming and said with a half wry smile and a half smile, "My suggestion is to call Smith back first, tell him about the changes in the company's business due to the adjustment of Yanhuang's export policy, and propose an increase of 10%. If he doesn’t agree, we will have to temporarily suspend our cooperation with Smith Company this year.” Smith is Sun Mingla’s big client, which is of great significance and role to the company’s initial development, so Chen Jia is very cautious in handling it.

"Are you focusing on 'I buy'?" Sun Ming asked instead of answering immediately.

"En! Take a look at this." Chen Jia picked up another piece of A4 paper and explained, "I bought the above order at a very reasonable price. The last time we took the order, the net profit margin reached 30%!"

"30% is indeed not low. But I remember that they have very strict quality requirements, and the delivery standards of the products given are also very detailed. Our return rate exceeded 7% last time."

"So this is one of the things I want to discuss with you today. If we stop doing business with Stephen, some of the freed-up manpower can be used in other production teams, strengthen the quality inspection department, and control the unit defective rate. At the same time We can maintain the operating rate after winning one or two new bids in "Wobuy". I asked the cost department to calculate, even if we add more personnel expenditures to ensure product quality, the annual net profit margin can still be maintained at More than 25%!"

"That's it..." Sun Ming was silent when he heard that one side had a loss of 3% and the other side had a profit of 25% (five times the profit of last year).Half a minute later, he sighed and replied, "Let me send an email to Stephen. After all, we are a business, not a charity."

At the same time, Jinhai City.

An inconspicuous small building under the name of Jinfan Company, where Wang Fan is waiting for Wang Xuelin.Because Jinfan Company has attracted more and more attention from government companies at home and abroad, the virtual world under its name has become a place where many hackers have fallen into the sand.Therefore, Wang Xuelin often receives the attention and surveillance of those who care about him, both openly and secretly.Therefore, in order to avoid getting into trouble himself, Wang Fan deliberately chooses a relatively remote place every time they meet.

"Wang Fan, according to the Internet emails and communication calls I monitored, many Yanhuang companies have begun to raise prices or reject foreign trade orders this year." Yadi took advantage of Wang Xuelin's late arrival due to traffic jams, and first chatted with Wang Fan about his previous experience. always cared about.

"Has the price increased? That's great!" Wang Fan slapped his palm hard when he heard that the development was finally going according to his own ideas.

"A two-pronged approach is very effective after all. On the one hand, you use the high-priced orders of 'I buy' to attract production capacity, and on the other hand, the state cooperates with the cancellation of the export tax rebate policy, suppressing the final life and death cost of small foreign trade commodities." Yadea analyzed.

"Hmph, just wait! At most half a year, the early order bonus held by multinational companies will be exhausted. Then I want to see if the prices of their various domestic necessities and daily necessities will increase." Wang Fan is proud road.

"According to my calculations, it will definitely rise, but the magnitude will not subvert the living standards of people in developed countries. Don't expect too much." Yardi reminded.

"It doesn't matter, what I have is patience, a little influence, and boiling frogs in warm water is the best. I am just very dissatisfied and can't understand that those foreign developed countries, on the one hand, enjoy Yanhuang and bear their own domestic environmental pollution, and provide them with high-quality On the other hand, they blame the Yanhuang people for taking their jobs. It seems that in their eyes, the Yanhuang people cannot charge fees, make money, or cause any adverse effects on them. They can only have no complaints or regrets. , Serve them forever without desire or demand!"

"In this regard, anyway, you have a sufficient number of target planes and population, and you don't have to worry about the sales market of various products. In addition, you don't have to worry about the raw material base, and you will not be restricted by foreign resources, so you can develop yourself behind closed doors. Play." Yadea fully approves of Wang Fan's desire to control the world economy.

"Boom boom boom!"

While talking, Wang Xuelin's figure walked into the house and explained as he entered the house: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. I found a 'tail' on the road, but when I avoided it, the alternate route got stuck in traffic, so I just arrived now."

"Hehe, it's nothing, Xuelin, come and sit down. It just so happens that I haven't paid much attention to the company for a while, please tell me well..."

"Yes, then I'll start with virtual world revenue..."

Republic of the Stars and Stripes, Los Angeles Walmart.

Sander is an office security guard, earning 10 dollars and 25 cents an hour, earning more than 1800 dollars a month.Because of his meager income, he cannot afford medical insurance, let alone the rent and loan repayment of a single-family house, so he rents himself in a small cheap hotel with a monthly rent of 350 US dollars.In Los Angeles, motels are cheaper than this hotel, but there is a concentration and hotbed of drug abuse, marijuana, gangs, and crime. Stars and Stripes citizens with a little ability will stay away from there.

After deducting the necessary rent, transportation, and meal expenses every month, Sander can't save much money every month, and the bank card often has a balance of $10 (the account is automatically closed when the balance is zero).According to the Stars and Stripes salary payment habit, the salary is paid every two weeks.2-3 days before payday, Sander often only has ~$30 left in his pocket to get by.

Everything looks like Sander belongs to the bottom of society, but it was not the case in the early years.Ten years ago, he lived in a large house of a few hundred square meters in the suburbs. At that time, he had just finished college with a loan. After graduation, he worked in the IT industry, with an annual income of more than 12 US dollars.Sander, who had money at that time, bought a big house, a luxury car, and a woman, and lived a very comfortable life.But things turned and after 7 years, his job was taken by a software engineer in India and he lost his job.

Sander, who lost his stable income, was unable to bear the annual loan and property tax of the mansion, so he had to default and move out of the house, and found his job as a security guard after several twists and turns.This is not the worst, what's more terrible is that during the 7 years of good income, he did not pay off the college loan at one time, and now he still has more than 2 US dollars in debt to repay, so he needs at least Squeezing out $0 to repay the debt is one of the important reasons why his life is very tight.

Due to the high pressure of work, Sander often participates in anti-globalization demonstrations, accusing the government of conniving at companies to transfer a large number of jobs abroad.But as for the low prices of daily necessities in supermarkets brought by globalization, such as a t-shirt for 1 dollar, a paperback tie for 1 dollar, a large bucket of toilet cleaner for 1 dollars, 1 large pieces of rib meat for 1.99 dollars, A bucket of ice cream (one kilogram) for $7.2, etc., never entered Sander's eyes and caused him to think.In his view, it is only natural and normal to enjoy products and services at this price for 8 or 3 years.

But on January 14, 1, when Sander walked into the supermarket to change one or two T-shirts according to his habit, he suddenly discovered that the T-shirts that used to cost $5 in the past have increased in price today~~~
