Rebirth of the Wild Age

As the Spring Festival approached, Song Weiyang took his wife, children and Doudou back to his father-in-law's house in Rongcheng for two days, and then drove to his hometown Rongping City to celebrate the New Year.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law finally moved into the elevator apartment last year. As for the money to buy the house, sisters Lin Wanzi and Lin Zhuoyun pooled their money. In the past, they were also asked to change to a house with better conditions, but the old couple were unwilling to leave, because the neighbors were colleagues for decades. Now the dormitory area has been demolished by the overall plan, and the colleagues have gone their separate ways, so the old couple no longer miss each other.

Back to Rongping, I took the expressway. Due to demolition and construction problems, this road has been procrastinated for several years. It was finally completed last year, so there is no need to run a section of expressway and a section of provincial road. And it goes all the way to Guizhou Province in the south, and it is also completely connected to the mountain city in the northeast direction. The products of Xifeng, Xianjiu, Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao and other companies have greatly reduced transportation costs because of this expressway.

In the Dongcheng District of Rongping, Xifeng Group has become a behemoth, expanding to the suburbs almost every year, and now covers an area of ​​5.5 square kilometers. Most of the nearby farmers who were demolished were working for the Xifeng Group, and even received Xifeng shares (which can also be converted into cash) as compensation for the demolition.

This is nothing. Wuliangye’s factory already covers an area of ​​8 square kilometers, and it will even expand to 12 square kilometers in ten years. Almost all the demolished farmers have become minority shareholders of Wuliangye.

Surrounding the site of Xifeng Group, several residential communities have been built around it. The fertilizer and water don’t flow to outsiders’ fields. These communities were built by Song Shumin’s real estate company, and the farmers whose land was occupied by Xifeng had great discounts when buying houses.

Now the development of the whole city is very strange, and the construction of the new city has been carried out around Xifeng, because there are people, money, and consumption here!

Since Dongcheng District belongs to the old city, the cost of Xifeng's expansion to the west is very high, and any piece of land will involve very complicated demolition of the old city. So Xifeng continued to expand to the east, northeast and southeast, and new urban areas were built around the north and south of Xifeng Group, so there were no fewer than three real estate companies that rose.

Now, the housing price in Dongcheng District is twice as high as that of other urban districts as a whole! Even the tube buildings built decades ago in the old city, as long as they are close to Xifeng Group, the rent is at least 80% higher than other places.

Now the top priority of Rongping City's leadership team is the heart disease in the old city of Dongcheng. Because the main local government agencies are basically located in the city center, if you want to get to Xifeng Group from there, you have to pass through an old city area, and even an urban-rural fringe area. Not to mention all kinds of mess, sometimes there will be traffic jams.

Damn traffic jams, this was an eighteenth-tier city in 2005, and private cars were still relatively rare, so one can imagine how bad the traffic conditions here are.

At the beginning of last year, the current leadership team finally made a decision to demolish the old city and its urban-rural fringe, and connect the city center with Xifeng Group. The beauty of the old city renovation was taken over by Song Shumin, and no one could take it away, and no one had the guts to take it away.

Although Song Shumin is becoming more and more low-key now, his local prestige is getting higher and higher, because he is the Supreme Emperor, and how many people in the East City are counting on his son for dinner.

Anyway, the development of the whole city has gone wrong. In another time and space, the construction of new cities is actually expanding westward, and the cost of going east is too high. Without a large group like Xifeng in charge, it is impossible to develop eastward.

Sitting in the lavishly decorated office, Song Weiyang was listening to Yang Xin complaining: "Oh, now that there are more and more anti-dumping measures against Chinese goods, the food export business is not easy to do."

"Encountered a new case?" Song Weiyang asked with a smile.

Yang Xin said: "Just last month, the European Union launched an anti-dumping investigation on canned oranges from China, and most of them will impose anti-dumping duties. The United States has imposed anti-dumping duties on canned mushrooms from China for several years. There are more and more competitors, and now selling canned mushrooms to the United States is about to lose money. If the same goes for selling canned oranges to Europe, then Xifeng will lose a large part of its export business profits!"

"How to deal with it?" Song Weiyang asked.

"How else can we deal with it? Let's fight to the death and actively respond to the lawsuit," Yang Xin said with a wry smile, "As long as we can survive to the end and the end of the anti-dumping case, then Xifeng will be a giant in related fields. Take canned fungi as an example, After several years of anti-dumping, Xifeng has occupied 18% of the market share of canned mushrooms in North America. There are four of our biggest competitors, among which Zhangshi Canned Food Company has declared bankruptcy last year, and it was levied to death by anti-dumping duties Yes. The other three companies, Jibang, Puxian, and Gulong, have all switched to other types of canned food."

Song Weiyang said: "There is no other way."

Yang Xin sighed: "What else can we do? We have mushroom cooperation bases in two southwestern provinces, especially Caiyun Province. How many farmers are counting on selling mushrooms to increase our income. If Xifeng stops producing mushrooms rashly Many farmers have to lose their money in canned food. Now it’s a dead end. Although other places except North America can still export normally, Xifeng’s canned mushroom business has a net loss of more than 3 million U.S. dollars every year. .”

"Yes, it's just like spending money to buy market share. Anti-dumping can't go on forever." Song Weiyang laughed.

Yang Xin also smiled: "Myanmar is also a member of WTO. I found a cooperative company in Myanmar and created another brand. I shipped the canned mushrooms to the OEM and then re-exported them to the United States, so as to avoid anti-dumping. And the new The brand is developing well, and its market share in North America has already ranked among the top 15. Now that the EU is targeting canned oranges, let Myanmar companies produce an extra product.”

Foreigners really like to eat canned food. The market size is too big, which arouses vicious competition from Chinese companies. The price is so low that domestic companies are trembling. It’s no wonder they don’t sue you for anti-dumping!

How fierce is the competition?

Three or four years after the U.S. initiated anti-dumping measures against Chinese canned fungi, the export volume of Chinese canned fungi increased instead of falling, and the price was even cheaper than before the anti-dumping. The American counterparts are also a bit of a dog. It is probably the first time they have encountered such a situation. Why is the anti-dumping tax imposed every year, and the Chinese canned mushrooms are getting cheaper and cheaper?

When all similar companies in the United States are squeezed out of bankruptcy, the anti-dumping case should be closed, because there will be no case without the victim.

As the old saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem. Although anti-dumping investigations can be initiated by the commercial departments of various countries, if there are no relevant stakeholders, the commercial departments will not have the leisure to initiate an anti-dumping case.

Many anti-dumping cases faced by Chinese companies ended in this way, and the culprits were all dead.

According to the current trend, the canned fungus companies in the United States can last for four to five years at most. Except for high-end brands, they will definitely be squeezed out and go bankrupt. As long as Xifeng burns money to last until then, it will be able to continue to encroach on market share, and eventually become the overlord of the canned mushroom industry in the United States, and the relevant anti-dumping investigation will automatically disappear.

Due to the rapid development of canned food export business, Xifeng Group has now become "two departments and six divisions", and a separate "Xifeng Canned Food Co., Ltd." Moreover, more than 95% of the profit of this branch comes from export business, which can earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country every year.

China's manufacturing industry is now beating the old masters to death with fists, and many countries have been forced to do so.

In the past two or three years, China has been the country that has suffered the most anti-dumping investigations.

Take 2005 as an example, in another time and space, China encountered 45 anti-dumping cases. Among them, the country and organization with the most anti-dumping actions against China is not the United States, nor the European Union, nor Japan and South Korea, but India. The Chinese business pioneers are already crazily attacking the Indian market at this time. Brother Ah San's weak manufacturing industry is like a weak little girl. How can it stand the ravages of Chinese big men?
