Rebirth of the Wild Age

Upon hearing the news of pregnancy, Song Weiyang and Lin Zhuoyun's parents quickly flew from their hometown to Shenghai.

Song Shumin went back after expressing condolences, while Guo Xiaolan and Lin's father and Lin's mother lived here, and Song Weiyang rented two houses for resettlement. In the end, I simply bought these two houses and let the elders live as long as they like. Anyway, they can make a fortune after selling them every few years.

But the old man only stayed for about half a month, because he was not used to living in a big city.

When they left, "Legend" had ended its public beta and started charging. Although the fee caused the number of players online to drop back, it surged again a few days later—the hot situation was completely beyond the expectations of the operation team. Due to insufficient preparation, many players in small cities could not buy point cards, and some even hoarded them in big cities. Point cards are resold for profit.

This game alone can bring Song Weiyang a net profit of 300,000 yuan every day, and this number is still increasing. Judging from the current situation, the daily net profit of "Legend" can reach 500,000 yuan at the latest during the Spring Festival.

Fortunately, Excalibur Network Technology Company does not need to announce its financial report, otherwise it will inevitably cause a national sensation, because this kind of business is simply faster than stealing money.

Even if everyone doesn't know how much "Legend" has earned, the game industry is still shocked by this, because the number of online users of "Legend" may have exceeded the sum of other games. Walk into any Internet cafe, more than 80% of the computers are running "Legend", and even some Internet cafes are full of "Legend" players.

Many people don't play games or use computers because they don't have money to go online. But these people also like to go to Internet cafes, do nothing but watch, watching other people surfing the Internet for a whole day. It is normal for six or seven onlookers to stand behind an Internet cafe customer. When the entire Internet cafe is playing a game, these spectators will soon feel itchy, and they will sit down and experience it if they have some spare money.

They don't copy and paste, they don't send emails to chat on QQ, and they don't know how to browse the web to read news. Their only purpose of surfing the Internet is to play "Legend".

If this momentum continues, the number of "Legend" players is likely to exceed the number of Chinese netizens.

At the same time, someone posted a post questioning that "Legend" is suspected of plagiarizing the Korean online game "Legend of Mir 2", and the two Korean companies involved in the development also sent a lawyer's letter. Song Weiyang simply ignored him, and the other party would sue as soon as he wanted, not to mention that the law is not perfect now, even if it is more than ten years later, he will not be afraid.

Let's put it this way, there is a copycat game "Hearthstone" in later generations, even the text icon, color, and structure of the game name are plagiarized, but the font is changed, and the rotation direction of Hearthstone is changed. Blizzard is stunned. The company wins. Because the artwork is different, the code source code is different, and it is not against the rules to learn from the gameplay. As long as the icons are not exactly the same, there can be various explanations.

Not to mention how to fight the lawsuit, the attention caused by "Legend" has caused domestic manufacturers to start frantically contacting Korean companies. The reason is very simple. The simple and rough skin-changing game of "Legend" can easily make a lot of money every day. Maybe acting as an agent for other Korean online games can also become popular.

...

Doudou worshiped seven masters in one breath, and restricted himself to only play games for one hour a day, and spent the rest of his free time learning programming.

After getting started a little, this girl actually wanted to write a cheat for "Legend". If she didn't understand something, she asked the teacher directly. It's not a perverted plug-in, it's just running automatically, and the operation can be completed by clicking on the small map.

Just as Doudou was working hard, China finally set its sights on joining the World Trade Organization.

Shenzhou Science and Technology is still normal here, and the foreign trade department of Xifeng Company is already crazy busy. In other words, the low-end manufacturing companies that are capable of exporting across the country are already crazy busy, and even foreign distributors have come to approach them on their own initiative.

During the previous negotiations, it was stipulated that China's tariffs must be reduced year by year, and there is a strict plan for the percentage of annual reduction. Similarly, when China exports goods to other member countries, the other party's tariffs will also be reduced accordingly.

As far as the canned food industry is concerned, even if the tariffs are not lowered, Europe and the United States have anti-dumping several times. The U.S. anti-dumping lawsuit against Chinese canned mushrooms is still going on, and this lawsuit will last for 11 years before it comes to fruition, because Chinese canned mushrooms occupied 60% of the U.S. market as early as three years ago.

It's cool now, the tariffs have been lowered, and the price of Chinese canned food, which was originally priced at the price of cabbage, has become even lower when sold in the United States. Who can bear this? Regardless of the overall situation of the country's industry, American distributors rushed to China for trade negotiations, and then shipped all kinds of low-end industrial products back to the United States.

We can see the clues from the output of canned food in China. In 2001, the total output of canned food was more than 1.7 million tons, and by 2002 it directly became more than 2.2 million tons. This is due to the downturn in the canning industry in the past few years, and the production capacity of each canning factory was insufficient, so they could only frantically build new production lines while receiving orders.

Ten years later, China's annual canned food products exceeded 10 million tons, and most of them were sold to the benzene markets in Europe, America and Japan, and the prices were getting lower and lower. Countless foreign canned food manufacturers have been squeezed to death. In three years, the European Union will take restrictive measures on Chinese canned citrus.

Xifeng Company has been prepared for this for a long time, and has built three canning production lines dedicated to export in advance, and continues to expand its market share in Europe and America by taking advantage of its price advantage.

In 2001, the whole world was discussing China, and the voice that joining the WTO would cause China's economy to collapse dominated the mainstream. But in 2002, the whole world began to talk about a phrase - made in China. It is also from this year that a real joke has been circulated repeatedly in the society: a certain person travels abroad, excitedly brings back fashionable foreign products, and takes a look at them when he returns home—made in China.

This result is mainly due to two factors:

First, China continues to carry out reform and opening up, and continues to attract investment with preferential policies. From 1990 to 2000, Asia as a whole absorbed 510 billion U.S. dollars in investment, and mainland China alone absorbed 230 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 45% of the total in Asia. Factories in all developed countries are moving to China.

The second is cheap and high-quality labor. Apart from China, there is no other country in the world that has so many basic educated and cheap labor force. Joining the WTO is not only as simple as lowering tariffs, but also a series of preferential trade policies. After the accumulation of the previous 20 years and the full opening of the foreign market, the competitiveness of "Made in China" has been fully revealed at once.

Take Wal-Mart, the world's leading retailer, as an example. Less than a month after China's accession to the WTO, it directly moved its Asian procurement center to Shenzhen City. Countless goods are brought together from all over the country to the Special Economic Zone, and then sold to the entire Asian market through Wal-Mart. These foreign businessmen have a good plan.

Let's talk about the power of China's cheap labor in detail, using Galanz as an example.

The main component of the microwave oven is the table Yaqi. Japanese benzene products cost more than 20 US dollars, and European and American products cost more than 30 US dollars. European and American companies are driven to death by Japanese benzene. ,

So Galanz negotiated with European and American companies, you bring me the microwave oven to make, what is your previous output, I will give you 8 US dollars for each finished product-this is equivalent to doing OEM for others, not only does not charge OEM fees, but also Come and give money.

European and American companies that were almost bankrupted by Japanese companies moved their production lines here very happily. Chinese workers work in three shifts, and in less than two days a week, they can meet the output of European and American brands. The remaining five days are equivalent to using the production line for free to produce Galanz's own microwave ovens, and the production capacity has expanded rapidly.

Japanese companies were soon troubled by Galanz’s ultra-low prices, so they went to Japanese benzene manufacturers: You can also move the production line here. For each microwave oven produced, not only will I not charge OEM fees, but I will also give you $5. subsidy.

In this way, many microwave oven manufacturers in Europe, America and Japan have handed over their production lines to Galanz. They only need to be responsible for sales, and then count the money while lying down. By 2002, Galanz's microwave oven output had accounted for one-third of the global share.

And when Galanz cancels the foundry contract and turns its face against anyone, it will be the death of European, American and Japanese benzene manufacturers. Because they have laid off workers, the production workshop has long been deserted, and it is difficult to recruit even workshop management talents.

Let’s talk about Barbie dolls again. The retail price in North America is 20 US dollars, while the FOB price of Barbie dolls made in China is only 1 US dollar. This 1 dollar actually includes manufacturing costs, channel costs, various taxes, and the profits of manufacturers and distributors. How do you let your American counterparts compete?

The rise of China is the result of the tears and sweat of the people at the bottom of China.

In Japan, there is a management scientist named Kenichi Ohmae. He is one of the proponents of the "China Collapse Theory". In 2001, he still firmly believed that China would end. In 2002, this gentleman directly published a book called "China Shock", in which he wrote: "After flying to China for the 50th time, I have now become the most active advocate of the theory of China's economic prosperity. In the next ten years, The most important issue in the world is how to get along with a strong China."

Kenichi Ohmae's change of attitude is not only due to the rapid growth of China's export volume, but also because the speed at which China absorbs foreign investment is also increasing.

China's accession to the wto has made investors from all over the world more confident. In 2002 alone, more than 30,000 foreign-invested enterprises settled down, attracting foreign capital of 50 billion US dollars, equivalent to one-fifth of the sum of the previous ten years. In other words, it is equivalent to one-tenth of the total foreign investment attracted by all of Asia in the 1990s.

The 15-year WTO accession negotiations did not disappoint the Chinese, and the effect was countless times better than expected!

Amidst the jubilation of the whole country, Jianlibao has already entered a dead end.

Due to the strong rise of Xifeng Company, Jianlibao is even worse than in history, and the profits and taxes paid this year are less than 15 million yuan.

The Sanshui government held a meeting in the middle of the year to discuss, and 90% of the people advocated selling Jianlibao, and it must not be sold to Li Jingwei. Now that the year-end financial report is so bad, the determination of the local government has been further strengthened. They quietly found a Singapore company and planned to sell 100% of the shares at a price of 380 million yuan, including the shares of workers and management teams. By the way, Jianlibao’s brand value evaluates to zero.

After Li Jingwei heard the news, he quickly contacted the media to report. There was an uproar in the public opinion for a while, this was once China's first national brand, what the hell is the brand valuation at zero? What the hell is selling only 380 million? The Jianlibao building cost more than 380 million!

The leaders of Sanshui couldn't bear the pressure of public opinion, so they had to give up negotiating with the Singaporean businessmen, and secretly contacted Xifeng and Wahaha again.

Li Jingwei personally came to the door, communicated with Yang Xin and Zong Boss successively, and persuaded Xifeng and Wahaha to give up the acquisition in a threatening tone. After getting the promise, Li Jingwei went back to Sanshui to have a showdown with the leaders and decided to buy all the shares of Jianlibao at a price of 450 million.

Just when Li Jingwei was determined to win, he was invited to dinner by the leaders, and was notified: "We have decided to sell 75% of the government shares of Jianlibao to 'Zhejiang Guotou' for a price of 338 million yuan."

Li Jingwei was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but the leaders didn't want to talk too much, and announced the news directly in the newspaper the next day, and set the time for the formal signing.

At this moment, Li Jingwei received a call: "Mr. Li, I'm Song Weiyang. I just read the news in the newspaper. Why do you agree to sell Jianlibao to Zheguotou?"

"Who said I agreed? I have been objecting, but the objection is invalid!" Li Jingwei wanted to cry but had no tears.

Song Weiyang said: "'Zhe Guotou' has never been in the beverage industry. They have bad debts, and Jianlibao will be killed by them sooner or later. You can't bear to see the business you created by yourself being destroyed by those capital speculators. hand?"

Li Jingwei said: "What else can I do?"

Song Weiyang immediately showed his fox tail: "If Xifeng is willing to take over Jianlibao, can you cooperate?"

Li Jingwei was silent for a long while, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to buy Xifeng than some 'Zhe Guotou'. I only have one request, just like Xifeng's acquisition of Yinlu, Jianlibao will become a subsidiary of Xifeng in the future. You can send managers over, but Jianlibao still has to be at the helm of me.”

"No." Song Weiyang flatly refused.

"Why Yinlu can do it, but Jianlibao can't?" Li Jingwei said angrily.

Song Weiyang said: "Xifeng can adjust Yinlu's management at will. Can this be done in Jianlibao? With your character, Mr. Li, if any of your confidantes is moved, I am afraid that you will come to me directly to argue. In Jianlibao you are Emperor, keep your word, how can you ask Xifeng to send someone to receive it?"

"I..." Li Jingwei wanted to defend himself, but was suddenly speechless.

Song Weiyang said: "You and your team can retain 25% of Jianlibao's shares. It can also be exchanged for equivalent Xifeng shares, which can even be converted into cash, but you must leave the management! In order to save you , I can nominate you as a director of Xifeng, which has no voting rights. I can also appoint you as the vice president of Jianlibao Group, which also has no real power. In addition, I promise not to hide the brand of Jianlibao, and I will restore Jianlibao As long as Xifeng does not fail, Jianlibao will continue to do it.”

Li Jingwei's tongue was dry, he swallowed and said, "I'll think about it again."

Song Weiyang said: "There are only a few days until the signing date announced by the Sanshui government, and there is not much time for you to consider."

"Damn it, I did it!" Li Jingwei gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, we can't let those officials succeed, and we can't make the grandsons of 'Zheguotou' feel better!"

Li Jingwei has been raising funds during this time, and wants to buy 75% of the local government's equity. The sudden appearance of "Zhejiang International Investment" is like a backstab. He can't wait to itch his teeth. Anyway, it's all for sale, why not sell it to someone who is a little pleasing to the eye, and let all the guys who are unhappy eat shit!
