Chapter 158: The difference between sun and sky

In fact, Chen Mingluo has focused on high-end users from the beginning when it comes to Letong's sanitary ware product positioning.

Most domestic products are popular and civilians, with a large user base and low price and easy to accept. However, in recent years or even years or decades, residents' requirements for bathroom products will become higher and higher, and high-end products will become the mainstream.

As for the current situation, there are not many people in China who have become rich first, and their purchasing power can provide strong support for high-end high-quality bathroom products.

However, there is really not much work done in this area in China. Chen Mingluo wants to occupy this part of the market first, gain fame among high-end users, and gain the most profitable part of the cake.

Letong Company's technology, equipment and funds are not mentioned. What they lack is only accurate grasp of the world's luxury consumer market. In fact, even in China, although the relative proportion of people with conditions for high consumption is relatively low, the absolute number is large. It is still very easy to seize this group of people and quickly build the number one brand of domestic bathroom products.

"In China, we also need to adopt personalized customized services. Although the demand for the rich is small, the huge profits generated by each business that you can't match if you do hundreds of ordinary products. Even if you only do 10,000 high-end product business a year, the profits generated by you are far greater than those you do ordinary products." Chen Mingluo and Yi Fan said.

After all, there are a few people who have the conditions to use gold diamond-encrusted water-saving toilets, but secondly, there are many users who use bathroom products with a price of around one million yuan.

"There are many nouveau riche in China. After these people have money, their most urgent needs are to show their uniqueness. How to show it? It is nothing more than consumption in all aspects. As for investment in bathrooms, it is also part of life enjoyment, especially when customers see a complete set of luxury bathroom products that they have never seen at home or heard of, how much linkage effect will it have?" Chen Mingluo reminded Yi Fan.

"I heard what the boss said, I feel a sudden enlightenment!" Yi Fan felt deeply inspired after hearing this, and felt that many aspects could be learned from Chen Mingluo's ideas.

To make daily necessities into luxury goods, you need to choose the appropriate population in a targeted manner, otherwise you have to pay for it and not even wear pants. What Chen Mingluo and Yi Fan told Yi Fan is how to choose consumer groups or artificially create a high-end consumer group.

The domestic luxury goods market is in full swing, and many things need to be explored and tested. Although the water-saving toilet with gold diamonds looks a bit incredible, when it comes to the market, there is definitely a certain amount of it.

After the two of them had only spoken for a while, the old man in charge of finance ran over muttered.

"This world is really unreasonable-" The old man couldn't help complaining when he saw the boss present.

"What's wrong?" Yi Fan asked in surprise.

The old man is usually a well-known good man in the company and likes to tell jokes. He can bring laughter wherever he goes. Why did he suddenly change his temper today?

"I was cheated!" the old man told him bitterly.

It turned out that the old man was driving a while ago and turned a corner where he shouldn't have turned. He was caught by the police and asked him to go to the bank to pay a fine within fifteen days.

"I always thought fifteen days were fifteen working days, so I went to pay the fine this morning. However, the staff said that it had been overdue for one week and had to pay the late payment fee, three percent a day." The old man said very depressedly, "Isn't this just for me to spend 21% more? It's really angering me!"

"This matter--" Chen Mingluo scratched his head, thinking that there was really ambiguity in this matter, and it should be that the old man's understanding was a bit misunderstood.

If you ask the relevant departments, they will also explain that fifteen days are not fifteen working days.

Yi Fan helped the old man check the relevant regulations, and it was indeed fifteen days. Many places also specifically explained this provision, saying that the period for parties to illegal vehicles to pay fines is fifteen days. From the date when the traffic police department issues the administrative penalty decision for public security traffic management, the parties must go to the bank to pay the fine within 15 days (including weekends and statutory holidays).

"I feel very imbalanced!" The old man used to be a deputy section-level cadre, but now he has retired, but he is still familiar with various policies. He told everyone, "In daily life, when we go to government departments to apply for certificates or stamp them, we usually require fifteen working days to get them later, and the workdays are used here."

Chen Minglai knew what the old man’s problem was, and he immediately said happily, “You can’t just think about the problem with bureaucratic thinking. Remember that you are a commoner now.”

Everyone was talking about it, and they all felt that it seemed a bit unreasonable.

This is also a common phenomenon. When government departments require the people to fulfill a certain obligation, they usually use the day. It is stipulated that government departments use the day when they fulfill a certain obligation to the people.

Fifteen working days are three weeks, and the number of days is twenty-one.

Fifteen days only have two weeks, usually only ten working days.

"The obligations of officials to the people are measured by working days, while the obligations of people to the officials are measured by heaven. This is the most secret and vivid manifestation of the inequality between officials and the people." Chen Mingluo said with a smile, "In fact, this is a metaphor of the One China, which really tells everyone that it is impossible for ordinary people and officials to have equal rights. Once you adapt to this kind of life, when you look back, you will feel that it is natural for officials to enjoy what kind of privileges they enjoy."

"Grass! Those who formulated this set of regulations are really not a good person, they are hiding evil intentions!" The old man said angrily. He lost nearly one hundred yuan in one go, and he was always a little bit painful, so he naturally hated such unreasonable regulations.

Chen Mingye waved his hand and said, "Actually there is no need to be angry. Such differences can be seen everywhere in administrative regulations. In addition to paying fines, tax payments and temporary residence permits are also measured in days. The obligations of government departments are mostly measured in working days. For example, the financial department pays state compensation within fifteen working days, and feedback must be provided within sixty working days for reporting letters. Administrative approval must be completed within thirty working days, and qualification certificate approval must be completed within three working days from the date of acceptance, etc. If you do not have a deep understanding of policies and regulations, of course, you will also suffer the loss of this mute. You will learn from your mistakes."

"I spent one hundred more dollars in vain!" The old man was still a little uneasy.

Chen Mingluo patted his head and couldn't say anything more. In fact, this kind of late payment fee only exists in the responsibility of the people to the government departments, and not in the government's obligations to the people. For example, local governments owed teachers' wages and finally paid the wages, they have never heard of interest.

But on the other hand, if your water, electricity, gas and transportation fines are paid late, there must be late fees, and the amount is often much more than the bank interest.

As for why the obligations of government departments are measured in working days, while the obligations of ordinary people are measured in days. Why do officials have a difference between working days and rest days, and only work can be handled on weekdays. Regardless of whether you work or rest, the people have to pay fines on time. Why do they owe money from the government and pay late fees, and ow money from ordinary people but do not pay late fees?

"These issues are very painful to say. It should be said that they are all determined by competition rules." Chen Mingluo thought about it and said, "Any industry, one product, the same service, the number of people engaged in it and the competition is fierce. The product quality is often higher, the service is often thoughtful and the price is often lower; if an industry, one product, the same service is few people engaged in it and the monopoly is strong, the product quality is often lower, the service is often not sufficient, and the price is often higher."

What Chen Mingluo said immediately resonated with everyone. There was only one practitioner in the phone and mobile phone back then. Not only did the phone bills be high, the call quality was also lacking, and the staff service was often very poor. Nowadays, the number of telecom operators has increased, various call services has increased, the phone bill prices have begun to drop, and the staff's attitude is stronger than before.

"The medical industry controlled by the government has few practitioners, expensive medical treatment, and difficult medical treatment, and always accompany us, not to mention over-medical, over-medical, medicine to support medical treatment, and red envelopes. However, in the catering, home appliances, automobiles and other industries, because there are many practitioners and strong competitiveness, there are no strange phenomena." Chen Mingluo couldn't help but feel a little whispered when he remembered this, and simply said a few more words, "By the same, the government in real life is the only legal violent institution, and the behaviors the government engages in is close to none. From this perspective, government affairs are calculated based on working days, ordinary people are calculated based on heaven, and ordinary people are owed money to pay high late payment fees, and the government owes money to no late payment fees, which is easier to understand."

The old man also felt it made sense after hearing this, but he was still a little unwilling to accept it, so he asked Chen Mingluo, "Can you reflect this problem with Mayor Xiao and see if it can be improved?"

Chen Mingluo smiled and shook his head, "Do you think the vested interest class may reduce its own welfare? If you want to modify these rules, it will violate not only the interests of one person or a few people, but you are touching the interests of a class! The feeling of shaking a big tree is probably not very good!"

"It's not that easy for the national leader to modify this matter!" Chen Mingluo finally asserted.
