this man is not calm

Chapter 509: End of the Year Disturbance
Some business investments really cannot be forced, for example: opening an electronics factory in the Far East, planting rubber in the Northwest, raising yaks in Lingnan, selling down jackets in Southeast Asia, etc. Don't use stories like selling combs to monks or selling sanitary napkins to old men to make excuses.

Business logic is actually about transactions and mutual benefit. Selling something to someone that they don't need is an unethical deception in itself. Such a business cannot possibly survive. Using a few individual cases to generalize the whole is clearly a substitution of concepts and nonsense.

Big business can only be done in big cities. Only a business model that affects the most people can create a great enterprise.

There are two types of business that Jin Shang wanted to do from the beginning to the end: those with high profits and those with the most customers.

The core demands are to make money and gain influence, to expand and influence the radiation range to the maximum extent, and to achieve one's own goals.

The deeper meaning behind this is to leverage one's own strengths, maximize resource allocation, and change the world.

Jin Shang and Li Xuan chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at the parent-child travel area with the theme of "Journey to the West". Families with children were playing and taking photos happily, with laughter coming one after another. After a while, the special reality show on the center stage and the interaction with the children in the audience pushed the atmosphere to a new climax.

Inviting suit actors to star in special effects dramas to entertain children was not Jin Shang's idea, but the idea of ​​his employees. After trying to promote it, the effect was unexpectedly good.

In the specialty shop not far away, all kinds of toys, stickers, small pendants and illustrated story books are selling like hot cakes, and the profit margins are astonishingly high, comparable to the plastic bag in the supermarket that costs two cents but sells for 20 cents.

If Jin Shang was not afraid of stretching the "front line" too long and not being able to take care of everything, he would have wanted to do the "blind box" business. Don't underestimate it, this thing is really quite profitable.

Even though these things seem simple, the trends and fads for children are different from those for adults. To become popular and form a trend, it takes more than just doing it casually.

One of the principles of Jinxi Culture's product strategy is not to go against user preferences, but to launch products and services that are popular among the people.

Now, Jin Shang sees this concept taking root and gradually growing stronger.

Not far away, the "King of Fighters" series role-playing scene attracted the attention of many primary and secondary school students. In 1999, at the end of the century, cosplay was still a very new concept in China. If you were not particularly famous and had a group of loyal fans supporting you, you would not have risked public death by showing up in public. Such public activities could not be carried out at all.

Of course, relying on fans to spontaneously organize offline still has its limitations. Jin Shang asked the marketing team to pick some handsome men and beautiful women from the Nan brothers' agency to secretly come over to support the scene, and only then did it barely feel like an offline fan event.

The e-sports area opposite was bustling with people, and bursts of noise could be heard from time to time.

The "Three Kingdoms" and "Fengshen" themed areas are gathering places for many young men and handsome boys. Whether they are history lovers or online game enthusiasts, they can find their own stage and have a chance to communicate with like-minded people, which is indeed not to be missed.

After walking around for a while, Jin Shang found Mei Wenlong and a group of friends shuttling between several conference venues. Judging from their sneaky appearance, they probably came here secretly.

Jin Shang was also very confident that Zhang Yunying's brothers and sisters were hiding somewhere having fun, away from the sight of acquaintances.

However, at this time, Jin Shang and Li Xuan didn't care, let alone expose it, so just let them be.

Throughout the year, children rarely have much time of their own, so let's give them some time today.

It is estimated that in the next few days, until the Lantern Festival after the Spring Festival, Xinghai Square will be crowded with people, and shops of all sizes will make a lot of money.

The next day, the 24th, was Laba Festival, and three days later was the 59th day of the lunar calendar. After several days of heavy snow, the weather cleared up.

The warm winter sun accompanied by the breeze lasted until the beginning of spring on February 4th. Major domestic satellite TV stations and local TV stations began to broadcast a series of popular TV series in recent years, such as "Journey to the West", "Investiture of the Gods", "Legend of the White Snake" and "Strange Cases of the Song Dynasty".

Even if it is played again and again, the audience still enjoys it.

Then there are "Home with Kids" and "I Love My Family", which have almost become annual regular national dramas and are certain to have sequels. They have entered their fifth year. The fourth season has just been aired and the second round of rebroadcasts are being carried out on many TV stations. The ratings are even not worse than the first round.

There aren't that many cultural entertainments these days, and watching TV is still the mainstream choice for ordinary people during holidays. Although it is unlikely to see the weird scenes of previous years where the streets were deserted and taxi drivers stopped working and rushed back to watch the finale, the influence of a hit drama is still so great that people in the Internet information age can't believe it.

The actor's acting skills are so outstanding, realistic and contagious, and he portrayed the role of "domestic violence man" so vividly and deeply. As a result, he was criticized by audiences across the country. He was blamed every time he went out and was even caught and educated by the aunties from the neighborhood committee. This will definitely not happen again in 20 years.

But nowadays, it happens occasionally and makes people laugh and cry.

For example, the second male lead in the TV series "I Love My Family" almost cheated on his wife in the middle of the last season because he could not withstand the temptation outside. He was slapped in the face by indignant audiences at the station, causing quite a stir.

It was under such simple social values ​​that, when several companies were preparing for the 4th Spring Festival Gala, good news came from Planet Intelligence. The manufacturing group company had obtained the right to import and export on its own. In the future, it would no longer need a third party to act as an agent for the import of machinery and equipment, spare parts and raw and auxiliary materials that were responsible for the main export and foreign exchange earning tasks, and the export of self-produced products. The official authorization approval certificate from foreign trade and economic cooperation had been obtained.

It's not that difficult to apply for this thing, but it's not easy to do it well.

For example, Xiyi Culture has obtained import and export rights for petrochemical crude oil and refined oil and gas for energy and power companies. In addition to quotas, registered capital and syndicated credit lines are often tens of billions or hundreds of billions. There are simply not many private companies that meet the threshold. Those with the ability are unwilling to do it, and those who are willing to do it do not have the qualifications.

Planet Intelligence's exports involve the export and patent authorization of global high-tech electronic products, such as USB flash drives and MP3 patents, digital storage modes and carriers, and spare parts including chips, semiconductors and electronic components with independent intellectual property rights.

In the past, we were in a hurry and did not have the qualifications for a while, so we had to let a third party transfer the business. Now we can directly connect with foreign customers, as long as we report to the relevant units at or above the municipal level and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Don’t think that your own products are not world-class electronic products and are not sensitive. The actual situation may be very different from what most people think.

Compared with the top products in developed countries, they do not have much advantages. Except for some highlights in individual areas, the overall performance is lackluster. But this does not mean that they are so easy to obtain in the vast third world countries.

Comparing with the top students does help improve, but we cannot ignore other things. For example, the chips, semiconductor components and circuit boards in appliances such as color TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines can actually be used in weapons such as torpedoes. Can you believe it?

What are stuck include not only the USB serial bus standard patent, but also patented technologies such as near field communication technology (NFC), Bluetooth and wireless LAN.

Looking at it from the perspective of twenty years later, this thing is not bad, but it is not that mysterious and profound.

However, it is now 1999 and the 21st century has not yet arrived. Each of these inventions, if listed individually, is a cornerstone invention that can change the international Internet market and influence the development of the information industry. If played as a "trump card" at the right time, it may bring unimaginable returns.

In Jin Shang's eyes, if no one recognizes this kind of patented technology and takes it as the core to add to its development and growth, it will not be of that much value in the end. But others don't know this, and even the top experts and scholars of this era may not have such a forward-looking vision.

It is not an easy task to convince them to license technology and products for export and to grow bigger and stronger together with domestic and foreign counterparts.

Now that the license is in hand, the higher-ups probably realize that developing IT technology behind closed doors is not a good idea, and that it may be better for its growth to go out instead of being cared for like flowers in a greenhouse.

These minor procedural troubles also made Jin Shang realize that his motherland in this life was much more mature than in his previous life in terms of experience in managing international trade. In terms of petrochemical energy and raw materials, as long as the strength is strong, the quota is sufficient, the third-party import and export channels are unobstructed, the bank's credit line is high, and there is a strong guarantee, it will be easy. For private enterprises, the hurdle of registered capital and bank credit is more difficult to overcome, but the restrictions in high-tech and sensitive fields are less touched.

It is not too difficult to export white appliances, consumer electronics, IT semiconductors, integrated circuits and electronic components, but there are still several hurdles for technical patents to go abroad.

If it weren't for the help from Hao Qilian from Telecom, some things would not have gone so smoothly.

This is the benefit of having a strong partner.

Only by cooperating with basic operators, winning over domestic software and hardware peers, and going global together can we take the lead in relevant technical standards.

It is impossible to become a universal standard accepted by the whole world just by relying on one's own influence.

With the prior cooperation, Jin Shang can coordinate with major operators on future 3G and even 4G matters. The domestic 2G communication network has been in use for five years. Currently, the number of users of domestic wireless paging services is million, accounting for about one twentieth of the total population.

The number of mobile phone users, excluding PHS, is 24 million.

More than 20 million mobile phones registered with the network does not mean that so many people can afford them. This data may be discounted by 70% to 80% because there are many people who own at least one mobile phone, and among them, many use both mobile phones and PHS.

In the past three years, the number of mobile phone users has nearly quintupled. In addition to the increase in people's income and the fact that more and more people can afford mobile phones, the Xiaolingtong system promoted by Jinshang has also made great contributions.

The Xiaolingtong system that swept across the country entered into people's daily lives at an astonishing speed. Even though it had many shortcomings, it did meet the remote communication needs of many urban residents.

With the advent of the PHS, which is not very beautiful but cheap and quite useful, the sales of mobile phones are not so great. As a result, all the high-end manufacturers can't sit still and have started to offer discounts and price cuts for promotions, which has also attracted many hesitant and wait-and-see citizens who have some spare money.

Xiaolingtong, which should not have appeared at this time, became the "catfish" of the mobile communications market, directly and indirectly promoting the development and progress of the domestic market.

More than a month ago, when Jin Shang got the latest data from Hao Qilian, he was also confused. He really didn't expect that there were already more than 20 million mobile phone users in China.

Regardless, this is a good thing.

Mercury 2 plus, a popular mobile phone produced by Planet Intelligence, has also seen a significant increase in sales. It has won the favor of many college students and young white-collar workers with its advantages of good quality, low price and good after-sales service. In particular, it can listen to music, chat on the phone and provide comprehensive wireless value-added services, making it very popular among trendy men and women.

It seems that everything is moving in a good direction.

Of course, there are also some tricky aspects.

For example, the competition between Jinxi Chat and Fetion has begun to enter deep waters.

After the split of Telecom, the business of the basic operator was divided into three. Fetion, which is bound to mobile phone numbers, is in principle under the jurisdiction of China Mobile. However, this thing is closely related to the work that Hao Qilian is responsible for, and the two sides are actually competing for dominance.

As an important partner, Jinxi Chat also encountered some minor troubles in coordination. If the two parties cannot keep pace with each other, not only will they be unable to cooperate with each other, but they will also hold each other back.

Coincidentally, the surge in mobile phone users has given some people the illusion that they can get by without cooperating with Jinxi Chat. Some radical ones even want to take the opportunity to "swallow" Jinxi Chat and dominate this market.

Perhaps it is because Jinxi Chat has become a big business now, and online instant messaging seems to be a very inconspicuous and unprofitable "small business", which makes people have the delusion that it is unimportant and can be "ripped off".

Amidst all the hustle and bustle, the festive Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.
-
Two days before the Little New Year, which was a Sunday, on the afternoon of the rest day, Qi Zhaoyun drove home and the family returned to the community where they rented.

Qi Zhaoyun has been working at Jinxi Culture for three years. Due to his good performance, he has long completed the period of community correction and is now a natural person with normal rights.

Originally, Qi Zhaoyun didn't want to change his residence. After all, he was already used to it and it was close to the company.

However, the situation became different as my old father was coming over and my separated wife and children might also come over, so I rented a bigger house again.

The last time the company held a group purchase of houses, Qi Zhaoyun did not buy one for various reasons. However, in the year-end performance evaluation and rewards not long ago, he was lucky enough to win an MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), which is quite practical.
