Rebirth of the Evil Life

w Mr. Wen stood up completely and walked a few steps back and forth in the reception room.

"Xiao Lin, tell me, what do you mean?" Mr. Wen was a little excited.

‘Hero’ brand pen, this is China’s first pen factory. Founded in 1931, it is the most well-known fountain pen brand in China. Several of its products, such as the Hero 100 gold pen and the Hero 616, are also internationally renowned. It is a pen brand as famous as the American ‘Parker’ pen (limited to the Asian market). Of course, these are all things of the past. In the past, the 'Hero' brand pen was very popular and almost monopolized the entire domestic pen market. At its peak, in the 1980s, its assets were close to 1 billion yuan. Today, its net worth is only 2.08 million yuan, and its workers have sharply shrunk from the thousands of people in the three major industries at its peak to the current 150. And this decline continues to worsen.

In the foreseeable future, 'heroes' will surely die!

"Forever" brand bicycle is a bicycle brand produced by Shanghai Forever Co., Ltd. In the 1970s and 1980s, bicycles were high-end means of transportation. At that time, brides in rural areas often used "permanent cards" to pick up their brides. However, with the development of industrialization and the popularity of automobiles in recent years, "permanence" has gradually faded out of people's sight. And this bicycle brand that once dominated the bicycle kingdom of China has also declined sharply. Today, although it is still rated as one of the top ten well-known brands in the bicycle industry in the Chinese market. But its momentum has waned.

These are all Chinese domestic brands, but with the process of reform and opening up. These brands that once made the Chinese people extremely proud are declining rapidly, some have declined, and they still remain aloof. Some were directly sold off, acquired by Chinese people, or bought out by foreign investors. Anyway. At present, domestic national brands are really worrying.

At present, countless familiar brands in China are actually foreign-owned. For example, ‘Arowana’, an American company; Nanfu Batteries, an American company; and Shuanghui, three major industries that are invested in by Morgan Stanley, although the equity is still in the hands of China. But in fact it can be regarded as a US-funded enterprise. There is also 'Dabao', a skin care brand that was once famous in China for its advertising slogan - Dabao, see you every day - and is currently being acquired by the American company Johnson \u0026 Johnson. Not surprisingly, ‘Dabao’ will become a brand of Johnson \u0026 Johnson.

Mr. Wen smiled bitterly. At present, domestic brands are constantly being eroded by foreign capital. Unfortunately, for various reasons. After joining, China was often unable to carry out government intervention. Of course, it's useless even if you gan pre-emption. The reason why these brands will raise funds is to be acquired by foreign companies. Most of them are facing the dilemma of bankruptcy due to their own poor management. At this time, there is actually not much difference between whether your country controls it or not.

If you oppose acquisitions, companies will collapse and employees of those companies will lose their jobs. If these people lose their jobs, the country will have to support them. If the state does not support them, they will cause social turmoil.

Therefore, in most cases, when faced with these unsatisfactory enterprises, even if they are well-known enterprises, if foreign capital wants to acquire them, as long as legal and normal procedures are followed, the country will agree. This is a pretty bummer thing to do.

However, no one wants their country's brands to be acquired by foreign capital, and Mr. Wen is not willing either. If Lin Feng really wants to support these once glorious and well-known brands, then he is very supportive, 100% supportive.

Therefore, Mr. Wen was a little excited.

"Haha, Mr. Wen, I am a conscientious Chinese and a Chinese businessman who knows how to give back to the society. Over the years, I have witnessed the decline of domestic brands and am heartbroken. I didn't have the ability before, but now I have the ability. I want to do something for China, do something for the Chinese people. I hope that Chinese brands can go global, and I hope that in the future, there will be Chinese brands among the world’s fashion brands.” Lin Feng said with fists.

"Good! Well said! Well said! China needs conscientious patriotic businessmen like you!" Mr. Wen applauded loudly. At this moment, he really felt that his pain for Lin Feng was not in vain. This kid, how many times has the country wiped out his buttocks and how much trouble has he caused over the years? I just hope that one day, this guy can give back to society and the country.

Today, Lin Feng finally said these words. It's worth it, everything has been worth it before.

Looking at Mr. Wen's cheerful look, Lin Feng felt a little disapproving. This country hasn't taken much care of me over the years. Of course, taking care of is still taking care of, that is. However, compared to the care received by other second-generation officials, the care I received was a bit insignificant. However, Lin Feng is still very grateful for Mr. Wen's care. For example, today, even though Mr. Wen was kept waiting all day, he was not very angry. This is a great consideration. Look at the others, do you dare to let Mr. Wen wait for such a whole day?

"Xiao Lin, tell me, what are you going to do?" Mr. Wen was gearing up.

"Mr. Wen, actually, I don't have a very complete plan for revitalizing national brands. I can only go step by step and do it as I go to see how to make these national brands shine again. After all, if I just throw money , It’s simple, I can sponsor some money, and they will be able to survive the current crisis. But what happens when the money is used up? The problems that these national brands have are the problems that exist in most state-owned enterprises. They have chaotic management. Bureaucracy, corruption, and..." Lin Feng had a lot of complaints about these state-owned enterprises. He wanted to talk about them all, but when he saw that Mr. Wen's face was getting more and more ugly, he stopped talking.

"In short, if I want to acquire these national brands, Mr. Wen, you have to give me some discount." Lin Fengxiao said.

"Okay, tell me what discount you want." Mr. Wen's face turned slightly pale. He didn't understand Lin Feng's evaluation of state-owned enterprises just now. But this is the chronic problem of state-owned enterprises. What can you do? Many problems are hard to recover from. Although the country wants to change, it can only change slowly. This change cannot be made in a drastic way and can be changed overnight. After all, this involves all aspects and many interests. Lin Feng is a lonely man and doesn't care about pressure, so he said it so lightly.

If he really wanted Lin Feng to sit and watch in his position, he believed that Lin Feng would never say it so lightly.

"Actually, the discount I want is not much. There are only two points. First, the company I want to acquire is not allowed to raise the price for me. If I want to acquire, I must acquire it!" Lin Feng said the first overlord clause.

Mr. Wen frowned. Your terms are a bit overbearing, you want to acquire it. It has to be acquired, so what if you want to take a fancy to Shougang? The country has to sell it to you?

"Hey, Mr. Wen, I only refer to the primary industry and the tertiary industry. I will not touch the secondary industry. I know it well!" Lin Feng explained quickly.

What are primary industry, secondary industry and tertiary industry?

primary industry. Also known as the first industry. An industrial sector in the national economy classified according to the "Three Industrial Classifications". Refers to a department that mainly utilizes natural forces to produce products or industrial raw materials that can be consumed without undergoing deep processing. Its scope varies from country to country. Generally includes agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry and collection.

The secondary industry is an industrial sector in the classification of industries in traditional industrial economic theory. It refers to the industrial sector that processes the products (raw materials) provided by the primary industry and this industry, including mining, manufacturing, electricity, and gas. and water production and supply industries. construction industry.

The tertiary industry, also known as the tertiary industry, refers to industries that do not produce material products, that is, the service industry. It was first published in the book "The Conflict between Security and Progress" by Fisher, a British economist and professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand in 1935. first proposed in . The tertiary industry refers to other industries except the primary and secondary industries. If divided in detail. For example, the transportation industry, post and telecommunications industry, commercial catering industry, material supply, marketing and warehousing industry, finance industry, insurance industry, geological survey industry, real estate management industry, public utilities, resident services industry, tourism industry, information consulting service industry and various technologies The service industry and manufacturing industry are all considered as the tertiary industry.

As for how these three industries were born and how they were divided, it was an industry classification method first created by New Zealand economist Fisher. In his 1935 book "The Conflict between Security and Progress," he proposed a method of dividing industries. Clark, a British economist and statistician, based on Fisher's work, used the three-industry classification method to conduct a large number of empirical analyzes on the relationship between the changes in the three-industry structure and economic development, and summarized the changing rules of the three-industry structure and its effect on economic development.

Lin Feng does not touch the secondary industry, that is, he does not touch the core industries of those countries, which makes Mr. Wen a little relieved. If this department is not touched, the country's core interests will not be violated. Otherwise, if Lin Feng were to acquire these properties, he would really have to question Lin Feng's motives.

"Okay, I can promise you your first point. But you can't acquire too many companies at one time, and they must be well-known companies that have declined. You can't acquire companies that are making profits." Mr. Wen added to Lin Feng A tight curse. He hopes that Lin Feng will support national brands. He hopes that Lin Feng will support those state-owned brands that were once famous but have declined. If Lin Feng specifically acquires those that are making money, isn't it equivalent to embezzling state-owned assets. How can this work!

"Well, don't worry. I'm not one of those vampires, so why would I steal state-owned assets? Don't worry, Mr. Wen." Lin Feng assured him, patting his chest.

"Okay, then tell me your second request." Mr. Wen continued to ask.

"The second point is that once I acquire it, I will have absolute autonomy over the development and management of this brand. I will have to spare any local administrative intervention, official-oriented thinking, and all kinds of bureaucracy. Side!" Lin Feng snorted coldly.

What Lin Feng hates most is the local bureaucracy. In fact, from Lin Feng's point of view, the central government's decrees are very good, but they are misinterpreted by local officials in many places, and then they try to use those administrative orders to make money and seek personal gain. In Shanghai, an international metropolis, although bureaucracy still exists, it is minimal compared to other places in China. Therefore, when Lin Feng chose his headquarters, he did not choose Beijing, but Shanghai. .

Mr. Wen agreed to Lin Feng's request very readily. He also hates these bureaucracies, but sometimes there is nothing he can do about many things. It can't be solved by just issuing an order. Therefore, he could only rely on Lin Feng to change these situations. Although Lin Feng can only change a small part of the situation, it is good to be able to change it. This is just like the principle that you should not do good deeds because they are small, and you should not do evil deeds because they are small. As long as there is change, it is good.

"Mr. Wen, thank you very much. I thank you on behalf of the people of the whole country!" Lin Feng stood up and bowed to Mr. Wen, "You will definitely be famous in history for today's decision. China's future national brand will definitely be because of you. Today’s decision was brilliant!”

"You kid, stop wearing your hat on me. I don't like flattering you." Mr. Wen heard this and scolded him with a smile.

"Then, why don't we treat you to dinner tonight!" Lin Feng looked at his watch, "Look, it's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be five o'clock in a little while. It's time to get off work, let's go to dinner together." Lin Feng looked at his watch. Feng Xiao said, "Think of it as a New Year's dinner."

"Well, this is necessary. You kid made me wait for so long, so you should treat me to a meal and apologize. In this way, I will call Mr. Xi and a few secretaries later. Let's have a meal together and get to know each other. In the future, if you encounter anything regarding the acquisition of a brand, just call them. I don’t have that much time to listen to your complaints. .

Lin Feng's eyes lit up after hearing this. Although Mr. Wen sounded distant and refused to let Lin Feng make a call, he actually told Lin Feng to go ahead and do it. The acquisition of these national brands was nothing more than trivial matters. Since it's just trivial, it won't cause any big trouble, so you don't need to worry about it, just go ahead and do it.

"Okay, you go and have a rest. When the time comes, I will ask the secretary to call you." Mr. Wen gave the order and started to continue working. Unlike Lin Feng, he can put off many things, let his subordinates handle them, and be a hands-off shopkeeper, but he can't. There are so many big things waiting for him to handle.

Lin Feng didn't say much, and followed the secretary to the lounge with a smile, waiting for the meal to arrive.

As a result, the wait lasted more than 2 hours, well past dinner time. As for Lin Feng, he had also fallen asleep long ago. I didn't sleep well to begin with, but after waiting like this now, I naturally felt sleepy. As for Lin Feng, he is not as reserved as others. Even when he is sleepy, he has to stay alert and sit here waiting. As for Lin Feng, he looked around and saw that no one was there anyway. The sofa was soft to lie on. Although it was not as comfortable as his own bed, it was not bad. He crossed his legs and fell asleep on the sofa in the VIP lounge of the auditorium. And as he fell asleep, the snoring became louder and louder. qr
