Rebirth of the Wild Age

Since the first three months are a dangerous period for miscarriage, Lin Zhuoyun is just 11 weeks pregnant, so she will stay in Shenghai directly for this Spring Festival.

Naturally, Song Weiyang would also be by her side. He might go back to his hometown alone on the first few days of the New Year's Eve. As for the New Year's Eve dinner, he would eat at his grandfather's house. My cousin, Li Tingting, graduated from Fudan University in half a year. She has no career pursuits and just wants to be more stable. She seems to be planning to take the civil service exam.

My cousin's son is about three years old, he's a thick-headed tiger, but he's a little shy of strangers. Whenever he sees Song Weiyang, he always hides behind the adults.

The big family of my aunt can be considered a well-off family now. After contracting the canteen of Shenzhou Technology for three years, after excluding various costs and expenses and taxes, the net profit can be nearly 100,000 yuan per year. This is because the quality and quantity of the food are guaranteed, and the cooking is more conscientious, and other contractors can earn more.

Maybe it's the impact of the torrent of humanity, or maybe it's the economy of the big cousin who was disabled in a car accident that year. Anyway, from grandpa to aunt, uncle, to cousin and cousin, the whole family doesn't like to make troubles. His mentality of being a little rich is very different from that of Song Weiyang and his son.

On the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, my cousin was holding the baby and teaching Lin Zhuoyun her pregnancy experience.

Aunt Song Weihong finished her work in the kitchen, quietly called Song Weiyang to the back room, and said mysteriously, "Xiao Yang, Auntie asked you something."

"Tell me." Song Weiyang said.

Song Weihong said: "Shenghai's house price is rising very fast now, will it fall in the future?"

"It may fall a little periodically every few years, but it will definitely rise in the long run, and it will rise in a rolling manner. Does my aunt want to buy a house again?" Song Weiyang said.

Song Weihong said: "Thanks to you, my aunt contracted the canteen and saved some money, about 200,000 yuan. The current bank interest rate is much lower than before. Your grandfather said that it is not worth saving in the bank. Let me and your uncle take it." Buying a house with a loan. I really don’t know what to do. The loan to buy a house has to pay interest, so how can I put it in the bank?”

"Buy it, Grandpa is right." Song Weiyang said.

"Then I will buy it, but I have to save money for another year. I can buy it after I have a deposit of 300,000 yuan, so that I can pay a little less mortgage every month." Song Weihong calculated carefully.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "If you want to buy it, buy it as soon as possible. Look at how much the housing price has increased last year. Compared with it, the overpayment of the mortgage is very small."

Song Weihong hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll buy a house after the Chinese New Year. You are a capable person and you can't go wrong. It's better to buy a lot in the urban area. The area doesn't have to be too big. It can be rented out.”

If it were Song Weiyang, or Song Shumin and his son, or even the elder brother Song Qizhi, with only 200,000 in savings, they would definitely spend all kinds of troubles. Either you will lose everything, or you will become a rich man with money, and the possibility of choosing to buy a house for investment is zero.

I can't say which way of living is correct, as long as it suits you.

Speaking of which, grandpa's investment vision is really good, and he can see through the real estate market at a glance that it must be booming. After all, before liberation, grandma’s house was Shenghai’s real estate agent. Over the past half a century, the core operation of real estate has not changed much.

After lunch, Li Tingting wanted to buy a mobile phone. She was about to graduate from university, and it was more convenient to do anything with a mobile phone.

Uncle Li Chenggong carefully calculated: "Don't go outside to buy, our family has a cafeteria in China Science and Technology, and you can get the internal employee price if you buy a China Mobile phone."

"Oh." Li Tingting was very obedient.

Li Chenggong said again: "Children, don't buy too expensive ones. A mobile phone worth a few hundred yuan is enough. No matter how good a mobile phone is, it is also used for making calls?"

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Come on, Tingting, I'll accompany you to go shopping for the Spring Festival, and I'll call my cousin and sister-in-law too."

The cousin and sister-in-law didn't go out in the end, especially after the show operation that year, the cousin's family was terrified of Song Weiyang, and even the young couple had a estrangement from Song Weiyang. It wasn't resentment in his heart, but he was a little afraid of Song Weiyang. He regarded Song Weiyang as a high-ranking and important person, and getting along with him would inevitably appear estranged and awkward.

Lin Zhuoyun didn't go shopping with her either. There were so many people shopping during the Spring Festival, she was afraid of squeezing the baby in her belly.

Even on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, the shopping mall is crowded with people. If it is moved forward or delayed two days, there will only be more shoppers, and gifts and electrical appliances are the most popular items.

Since the country implemented the May 1st and National Day holidays, the tourism industry has also risen rapidly, and even the Chinese New Year period is called "Spring Festival Golden Week".

Especially in Shenghai, there are so many tourists during the Spring Festival, some of them come to Shenghai for tourism and shopping. The main reason is that the domestic economic development is not balanced at this time, and many products in inland areas cannot be bought. As an international metropolis, Shenghai Traveling here is similar to going to Hong Kong City; some of them are traveling abroad. They need to come to Shenghai to transfer to a plane. The most tourists go to Southeast Asia and Australia from Shenghai. Tourists who go to Hong Kong City and Wanwan will choose Go to SAR.

In China in 2002, there were already many people who got rich first, and the outbound tourism business began to boom. Anyway, it’s not bad money. During the Spring Festival, the price of a five-day trip for two from Shenghai to Qiongdao directly increased to 3,400 yuan, which is already a few months’ salary of ordinary workers.

China's economy suddenly improved, but last year's Spring Festival was still very difficult.

However, after joining the wto, the overall quality of goods in China declined somewhat. Because anyone who is capable of exporting sells high-quality products abroad, and the domestic market is discriminated against instead. The impact of this change is very far-reaching.

Perhaps in more than ten years, "export to domestic sales" will become a funny meme, and it will be more or less ironic. But now it is synonymous with high-quality products, because in the public's impression, only the best products can be exported, and under the sign of exporting to domestic sales, it can be more recognized by consumers.

So the merchant’s show operation began. For example, a certain brand mattress registered a leather bag company in Italy. The domestic production was shipped out and the label was posted. After selling it back to China, the price could be increased several times, and because of the foreign name, it was also sought after by various people. .

Song Weiyang took his cousin to wander around the various shopping malls, looking for an opportunity to get down-to-earth, and by the way actually experience the terminal market.

When he finally came to the mobile phone counter, Song Weiyang found that the mobile phone store had begun to subdivide.

At the beginning, Gome, Suning and other shopping malls opened up several large counters to sell mobile phones of various brands together. Now the counters are differentiated by brand. Many mobile phone store owners who have been squeezed to close their doors have turned into single-brand terminal operators and settled in shopping malls for professional sales.

"Choose one at will. There's no need to just buy Shenzhou mobile phones for my sake. I'll pay for the model I've chosen. Treat it as a graduation gift from me in advance." Song Weiyang said.

Li Tingting didn't hesitate, and said with a smile, "Okay."

The most conspicuous counter is still Nokia, but Song Weiyang was surprised to find that the most consumers bought Motorola!

Two months later, the mobile phone market survey data for the first quarter of 2002 will be released, and the mobile phone industry across the country will be a sensation. Because after many years, Motorola has once again become the overlord of mobile phone sales in China, and its market share has directly surpassed Nokia by a full 5 percentage points, which was unimaginable last year.

The main reason is that Motorola's localization strategy has worked. It purchased a large number of components produced in China and moved its core component factories to China. As a result, Motorola has a price advantage over Nokia. Moreover, in order to expand sales almost crazy, Motorola announced on New Year's Day that it will launch 7 new products this year, and two models have been launched in a row from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival.

The performance of domestic mobile phones has also attracted market observers' attention.

Shenzhou mobile phone rushed to the third place in one fell swoop, second only to Motorola and Nokia in sales. Bird mobile phones are fourth, tcl mobile phones fifth, followed by Siemens, Samsung, Alcatel and Sony Ericsson.

In other words, in the first quarter of this year, among the top five mobile phone sales in China, domestic mobile phones actually accounted for three places. The foreign brand Sony Ericsson, which used to be in the top three, fell directly to the ninth place this year, and has almost been surpassed by the domestic Amoi mobile phone.

As for Kejian, the overlord of domestic mobile phones in the past two years, it was directly listed as "other brands" in the market survey data this year. This is a brand that has entered the National Torch Program. Even during an international conference, foreign participants were given a Kejian mobile phone, and all conference notifications were communicated with the Kejian mobile phone.

Perhaps it was the participation in the National Torch Program that caused Kejian's mobile phone to decline so quickly.

State-owned enterprises, or state-owned enterprises listed on the stock market, all parties are jealous to get a share of the pie. Even Zhang Hai, who wanted to buy Jianlibao, was one of Kejian's shareholders, and many shareholders made Kejian a mess. They don't take the market seriously at all, but keep releasing good news, such as reaching a strategic partnership with a multinational company, setting up a research and development center in South Korea, investing millions of pounds to sponsor the Premier League team, etc., just thinking about raising the stock price to make money One vote to leave.

Therefore, in 2002, when it was reduced to "other brands", Kejian was actually the most famous domestic mobile phone in the country, and news could be seen in newspapers every now and then.

Li Tingting walked around several mobile phone counters, saying that this one was not good and that one didn't like it, and finally came to the exclusive counter of Shenzhou mobile phones. She didn't pick the most expensive one, nor the cheapest one, she chose a Shenzhou mobile phone worth more than 1,000 yuan and said, "Cousin, this one is pretty good!"

Song Weiyang smiled: "That's fine, just buy this one."

"Two handsome men and beauties, you really chose the right one. This China t310 has always been sold in high volume. The price is very affordable and the quality is very good. Look at its shape..." After all, it is a clerk who specializes in China mobile phones, said As he spoke, he felt something was wrong, looked at Song Weiyang in surprise and said, "You you you...you can't be... right?"

"Hush!" Song Weiyang smiled and raised his index finger.

The clerk suppressed her excitement and called out in a low voice: "Are you really Boss Song? Oh, I adore you very much, and our store manager also adores you. Look at the wall behind the counter, it is printed by our store manager photo!"

It was Song Weiyang's photo that was pasted on the wall.

As for the worship, it's probably fake. The store manager is good at business. He used Song Weiyang's photo to promote it for free, so as to fool consumers into buying Shenzhou mobile phones.

Li Tingting was very excited to get his first mobile phone in his life. He kept looking at it over and over, and said sweetly, "Thank you cousin, our mobile phone is really beautiful."

Song Weiyang asked: "Have you decided what unit you will go to after graduation?"

Li Tingting said: "I don't know, I'm waiting for the civil service exam, and I can enter any unit that can be admitted, but it's best to be a professional counterpart."

Song Weiyang asked, "What major did you study?"

Li Tingting said: "International finance."

"Very professional," Song Weiyang praised, "China has now joined the WTO, and the government is in urgent need of relevant talents. Well, after the Spring Festival, you don't have to go back to school. I recommend you to go to the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade for an internship. When the public recruitment, you go to apply for the exam."

Li Tingting asked quite seriously: "Is this the legendary back door?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Recommending you to go to the CCPIT is a back door, but you have to rely on your skills in the public exam, at least you must pass the written test. As long as you practice hard in the CCPIT and master some practical situations and skills, I don't need the public exam interview at all." Special care. Of course, in order to avoid being squeezed down maliciously, I will still greet you."

Li Tingting said happily: "It's nice to have a cousin!"
