Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 602 I, Qin Shi Huang, make money!

Everyone then moved forward and came to the electronic products exhibition area.

"Dear leaders, this is an electronic products area, mainly selling calculators, electronic watches, game consoles and other products. In the future, I plan to introduce computer-related components and turn this area into a technology area!" Li Weidong introduced.

road.

The person next to him nodded: "Chairman Li's plan is very forward-looking. Computers are the future development trend. Now many units have begun to use computers for office work. If you don't know computers in the future, you may not even be able to work.

We should encourage and develop related industries, so as to promote the progress of science and technology and improve productivity! As for game consoles, I think it is better not to encourage this kind of thing, so as not to play with it and lose one's ambition!"

At that time, there was no such thing as e-sports. In people's eyes, playing games was just playing games to lose one's ambition.

If a person plays games for several hours every day after get off work, then in the eyes of his family, the human drama is considered useless!

Reading books, reading newspapers, going out to socialize, even watching TV, playing mahjong, Landlord, or chess is better than playing games!

Nowadays, playing games at home is probably the most economical way of entertainment. Playing games while spraying can also relieve stress.

Don’t you have to spend money when you go out? Just eat and drink and date girls. If you get into bad habits, you won’t be able to withstand a huge fortune!

In 2000, the most common game console on the market was the Tetris-playing handheld console.

There are high-end products such as the black and white Game Boy, but there are basically no original Nintendo products. They are all knockoffs made by domestic companies.

The original Japanese Game Boy game console is too expensive, and the domestic people basically cannot afford it. It can be regarded as a luxury product.

At that time, the Game Boy game consoles sold in China all had motherboards imported from the other side of the country and then assembled in China. Since color screens were not yet available in China, these knock-off products had black and white screens.

In addition, there was a very popular game console at that time, which was the electronic pet.

Electronic pets were popular all over the world in the 1990s. This product was originally designed by the Japanese. The first-generation product was called Tamagotchi, and 80 million pieces were sold worldwide.

However, the technical content of this product is not high, so it can be easily copied. When electronic pets became popular, imitations appeared in countries all over the world.

Chinese companies are very good at imitating such low-tech products. At that time, many small factories in the Pearl River Delta region were imitating such electronic pets.

However, when it comes to electronic products, game consoles are just a small hit. The real big market in the future is computer hardware.

Before the rise of smartphones, it was the era of computers. If you look at the Internet cafes all over the streets at that time, you will know how popular computers were at that time.

Several Internet giants in China all emerged in that era.

At that time, the price of computer hardware was not as transparent as it is now. Many merchants just looked at what others were buying and quoted random prices, so it was easy to generate a lot of profits.

At the beginning of the 21st century, there would be a computer city in cities all over the country, and some places even had more than one computer city. In the era when e-commerce had not yet emerged, the flow of people in the computer city was even greater than that of shopping malls.

The reason why there are so many computer cities is because it was really profitable to make computer hardware in that era. In the future, the computer hardware sales industry will only have 10% profit, but at that time, the net profit could easily be 40% to 50%.

At that time, many of the customers were computer novices, or even semi-novices who only knew a little about hardware. Merchants could easily deceive customers by taking advantage of the information gap.

At that time, the price of brand-name machines was really expensive, and the word "cost-effectiveness" was completely irrelevant to brand-name machines. A 3,000-yuan machine could be sold for 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, which was just a bully that most people didn't understand computers.

And this also gives the assembled machine a better living space. With the same configuration, the computer can be sold as long as the quotation is several hundred yuan cheaper than the brand machine.

For computer hardware sales, from 2000 to 2010, it was really a golden era. You could make money just by renting a counter in a computer mall.

Of course, Li Weidong couldn't miss this opportunity, so he made plans in advance and opened this computer hardware area in the small home appliance wholesale mall.

Although in the future, as information dissemination becomes more convenient, computer hardware information will gradually become more transparent, and there will be fewer computer novices who are easily deceived. Coupled with the rise of e-commerce, offline sales will be hit, and computer cities will gradually disappear.

But that will only happen in more than ten years. We will have to wait until the industry declines in more than ten years before re-planning.

However, these past ten years have been precisely the ten years when China's economy has developed the fastest. It is important to take advantage of the dividends of this wave of economic development first.

…

The small home appliance mall was built very large. When Li Weidong took the leaders to the electronic products area, the performances of the stars outside were also over.

But the people watching the fun did not disperse immediately. After all, Shilibao was quite far away from the city. People who came all the way here had to stop by the wholesale mall to take a look!

Apart from anything else, the clothes sold in the nearby textile wholesale mall are much cheaper than in the shops in the city. People can save a lot of money by taking a trip here and buying some clothes for themselves or their families.

What's more, today is the opening day of the small home appliance mall. In order to get a good start, many merchants have held promotional activities. The products have great discounts and are much cheaper than in the mall. This has also attracted many onlookers to go and buy.

.

When Li Weidong returned with the leaders, he saw more and more people in the mall. When he returned to the home appliance exhibition area, it was even more crowded, and every shop was crowded with customers.

Merchants are also working hard to promote sales, some are shouting at the top of their lungs, some are shouting with loudspeakers, and various voices asking for prices, bargaining, and sales promotions are constantly heard, making the scene very noisy.

"There is a big sale on electric fans. New floor fans, you will make money when you buy them!"

"Puppy brand hair dryer, sold directly by the manufacturer, the price is absolutely cheap! The goods I just picked up from the Puppy Electric Factory this morning are freshly produced and they are still hot!"

"This soymilk machine, wipe out the leftovers for me!"

"Sister, you really can't wipe off the small change, so I'll just make the small change from you. If you wipe it off, I won't make any money. You have to give me something to eat!"

"The price I gave you is already much cheaper than in the mall. If you don't believe me, go to the mall and take a look!"

"How many units do you want? For more than twenty units, I can give you a 50% discount!"

Although it is very noisy here, it is the sound that a shopping mall should have. When these sounds fall into the ears of several leaders, they are full of the atmosphere of folk fireworks, like a willow forest that has just sprouted, full of life everywhere.

For a mall, having more people is definitely a good thing. The more people there are, the more goods will be sold and the greater the transaction volume will be. This will then drive upstream and downstream industries, provide employment, pay taxes, and promote economic growth.

, these are the things local officials most want to see.

The leader couldn't help but praise: "Chairman Li, there was such a large flow of people on the first day of opening. Your small home appliance wholesale mall will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future!"

"Boss, let's go take a look at the textile wholesale market next door. There must be more people there than here. Wait a moment, I'll call a taxi right now!"

The minibus had been waiting not far away for a long time. As soon as Li Weidong made a call, the minibus drove directly to the door.

Li Weidong invited several leaders into the car and went straight to the textile wholesale mall nearby.

As Li Weidong said, there are more people in the textile wholesale mall!

There are people buying clothes everywhere here.

Everyone has to wear clothes, even if they are really shameless and like to run naked, they always need to keep warm when the weather is cold. If you don’t want to freeze to death, you must have clothes to wear.

The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing is only ranked after eating, and is the second need for human survival. Therefore, there are more customers in the textile wholesale market.

"For this dress, bring me a 165."

"This is too big, please change it to a smaller one."

"Boss, if it's cheaper, I'll want these three pieces of clothing!"

Although this is a wholesale market, merchants do not refuse retail sales. If business comes to your door, how can you turn them away? At worst, you can raise the price slightly and sell at a higher price than the wholesale price, and you can make more money.

What's more, there are so many people today, even if it's retail, if you add up a small amount, you can still make a very considerable profit.

No matter how small the mosquito meat is, if you catch 108,000 of them together, you can still get a full meal.

China's wholesale market is generally like this. Making money depends on wholesale and retail sales, but different prices are given based on the quantity of goods requested by customers.

This huge flow of people is exactly the effect Li Weidong needs.

Li Weidong went to great lengths to organize such a grand opening ceremony and even invited big-name singers to perform, in order to attract citizens.

As long as people come here, they will definitely visit these two wholesale malls. Even if they don't buy anything, they will like it.

This can give the leaders who came to visit the illusion that this large-scale wholesale mall is a very popular commercial project and will make a huge contribution to local economic development.

Sure enough, when they saw how popular the wholesale mall was, even the newly opened small home appliance wholesale mall had so many people, several leaders were full of praise.

Immediately afterwards, Li Weidong took several leaders to the reception room of the shopping mall management company to rest.

On the wall of the reception room, there is a huge plan hanging, and below the plan, there is a corresponding sand table model.

Li Weidong also spent money to have this sandbox model carefully made by someone just for today's leader's visit.

As expected, several leaders were attracted by this sandbox model.

"There are several buildings on this plan. Are they all wholesale malls?"

"The sand table below looks more intuitive."

"Look at this, it's the textile wholesale mall we just visited. The one next to it is the small home appliance wholesale mall that opened today!"

"There are several buildings around here. Are you planning to build a wholesale mall for other products?"

At this time, Li Weidong came over and said: "Boss, you are right, these are plans for wholesale malls for other products. In the future, I also plan to do wholesale of building materials, hardware, furniture, auto parts and other products.

When these are completed, a complex with a complete range of goods will be formed. When buyers come here, they can purchase a variety of needed goods at one time. Then combined with the logistics industry, a complete system from commodity wholesale to delivery will be formed.

."

"Chairman Li, your plan is not trivial. It looks much bigger than Yiwu!" someone next to him said.

Li Weidong smiled and nodded: "All cities that vigorously develop business hope to become the second Yiwu, but I am confident that we can be bigger and stronger than Yiwu! We can surpass Yiwu!"

Li Weidong started to draw the pie, and everyone looked at him sideways.

One of them said: "Beyond Yiwu? It's easier said than done! Our country has developed for so many years, but there is only one Yiwu!"

Li Weidong continued: "Compared with Yiwu, we have advantages here. First of all, Yiwu is only a county-level unit, but we are a prefecture-level unit. We have a larger population here, and the resources we can mobilize and invest are also smaller.

More.This is our first advantage

Although there is no economic belt like the Yangtze River Delta around us, with the development of transportation, it will be faster and more convenient for us to go north to the Beijing-Tianjin area, or south to the Yangtze River Delta area, and can even form a network with the Beijing-Tianjin and Yangtze River Delta areas.

The quantity of daily life is our second advantage.

We are not far from the sea. We are only 150 kilometers away from the nearest Donggang City, and the road is relatively flat. In comparison, it takes 200 kilometers from Yiwu to Ningbo Port, and the journey is quite mountainous. This is what we

The third advantage!”

After listening to Li Weidong's analysis, several people began to nod silently, obviously agreeing with Li Weidong's statement.

Since the reform and opening up, Yiwu's economic development has been obvious to all, and the reason why Yiwu's economy has developed so fast is because of trade.

Moreover, Yiwu's trade not only makes itself rich, but also drives surrounding cities. Although Yiwu is only a county-level unit, Hangzhou in the north, Ningbo in the east, and Wenzhou in the south have all enjoyed the benefits of Yiwu's development of trade.

.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the first two decades of reform and opening up, Yiwu drove the economic development of the entire Zhejiang province.

It was not until later that cities around Yiwu began to develop emerging industries, such as the Internet and financial industries in Hangzhou and port freight in Ningbo, that Yiwu's business status was weakened.

In the process of Yiwu's development, not a few domestic cities have gone to Yiwu to learn from it, and many cities have learned from Yiwu's advanced experience in the hope of promoting economic development through the development of commerce and trade.

The leaders invited by Li Weidong are no strangers to Yiwu's development model, and some of them have carefully studied Yiwu's success.

Now that Li Weidong has drawn a pie that "surpasses Yiwu", how can everyone present not be moved!

If Yiwu's success can be replicated, it will not only promote the local development of Qinghe, but also drive progress in other cities in the province.

And as Li Weidong said, Yiwu is only a county-level unit. It cannot compare with Qinghe in terms of population and resources. Therefore, it is not completely impossible to surpass Yiwu.

Li Weidong continued confidently: "There is also a fourth advantage, and that is that Qinghe has me, Li Weidong! The small commodity city in Yiwu was originally composed of thousands of ordinary traders.

Although I, Li Weidong, am not talented, I should be much better than ordinary traders in terms of business! If I take the lead in developing the Qinghe business industry, it will definitely be more effective than thousands of ordinary traders!"

The leaders looked at me and I looked at you. Although they felt that Li Weidong was bragging, they really couldn't find any words to refute.

Li Weidong started from scratch and created the current industry, and it is not a speculative industry, but a serious manufacturing industry. In terms of business, he is indeed a recognized genius in the country.

At least Yiwu has developed for so many years and thousands of businessmen have appeared, but none of them have reached the level of Li Weidong.

Based on this analysis, it seems that the pie painted by Li Weidong can really be eaten.

However, Li Weidong changed his voice and said, "But currently, this plan to surpass Yiwu has also encountered some obstacles."

"What's the obstacle?" the most senior leader asked immediately.

"The main reason is insufficient funds." Li Weidong paused and then said, "Building a wholesale mall requires a large amount of funds, but I can't raise so much funds now, so subsequent projects can only be postponed.

All the leaders have also seen that the customer flow in the mall is not a problem. If there is customer flow, investment will not be a problem, so as long as the mall is built, funds will be withdrawn quickly. What we lack is the funds to build the mall."

Li Weidong said with an eager expression on his face, which seemed to say: I, Qin Shihuang, give money!
