Chapter 105 The power behind the four small families
After becoming a partner, the business situation became more intense, because other countries began to worry that imported products from the country would cause their country's industry to be bad.
You must know that during the economic crisis, trade protectionism rose in various places, and a quota system was launched very early and will last for many years.
The quota system restricts imports, but it still does not restrict the development of various regions. Today, the Zhuge family's business has reached all regions of the world. It is a famous procurement center that attracts large quantities of orders for the production of simple goods, as well as small businesses.
Orders with high quantity and high price.
At this time it was still the largest exporter in the world.
The annual net income of tens of billions is very simple. A large part of it is Zhuge Daming's intervention, which turned the original profit of five billion into tens of billions. With his ability, there are many women alone.
It's really enviable, but it's a pity that when he wanted to pursue the eldest lady of the Situ family, he failed and lost to a poor young man. This was his biggest failure.
In business, he never lost to anyone, but he lost in love. The poor young man disappeared for many years, and the person he liked gave birth to a daughter for him.
Now Zhuge Daming does not think about what happened many years ago. What he has to do is to defeat the four small families from business, and then turn the Zhuge family into the largest leading family. In the future, it will be easy to control the wind and rain.
Zhuge Daming hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to shake hands, "You are too complimentary. It's just nonsense. Don't take it off. How is Mr. De's health recently?"
As a top boss in the business world, he had to give Mr. Durban a little respect.
Among the business partners of the Zhuge family, whether they are black or white, Mr. Durban is the most important person on the white road. You must know that every business cooperation can make a lot of money, mutual benefit and win-win, which also gives Zhuge Daming the opportunity to become
The next head of the Zhuge family.
"Our General Chamber of Commerce has invited Mr. Zhuge several times, but Mr. Zhuge refused to honor us."
The attitude of the people called Durban towards him is very puzzling. It is one thing to praise him, but he also has to ask questions about his face.
"Sorry, I have been very busy in the Mainland. I will definitely come over when I have time."
Zhuge Daming was dismissive of the idea of being a chamber of commerce. After all, it was a gathering of companies, and he didn't like it.
If Durban was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he would still be trying to save face, but unfortunately not.
"Everyone, it's better to stop chatting and go change clothes first. Let's compete for a few games."
There was such a tense atmosphere when they met, which Durban didn't like. His tone when he said he wanted to play ball first was not a discussion but an unquestionable one. His majesty in the commercial street was not something anyone could offend easily.
Zhuge Daming smiled and got into the golf cart with Durban.
When he arrived at the venue, Zhuge Daming took the caddy's club, exchanged greetings with Durban, grabbed the club, held it, swung it, and then swung it out and made a hole-in-one.
"Yes, I have practiced this golf course for more than 20 years and I am not as good as you. It seems that you have worked hard.
Durban smiled and praised Zhuge Daming. You know, the big bosses are all frequent golfers and top high rollers. As for Zhuge Daming, he used to wander around and it was only in the past five years that he could enter such a top golf course.
It may not mean that there is no hint that I am still a newcomer.
After that, Durban also scored a hole-in-one, neatly and without any sloppiness.
"Mr. Durban is also going strong with age."
"Lao Dang Yizhuang" is a complimentary word, but Zhuge Shouren also meant something when he said it.
Naturally, he is not a soft persimmon, and he clearly told Durban that when he gets old, he has to accept his old age, and there is no point in playing like an old man.
The two played a few games casually, and no one really cared about the outcome on the court. Everyone only cared about the next highlight.
Durban said: "Mr. Zhuge is so serious and vigorous that he is really formidable in future generations."
Zhuge Daming stood the club under his body and sighed from a distance: "It is said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach. But I don't know which day I will be pushed again. How can I be considered a young man? Durban
Sir, that’s very complimentary.”
Durban said: "No, no, for businessmen, your age is the golden stage of life."
"This statement is very novel." Zhuge Daming said with a smile, "I wonder what advice Mr. Deban wants from me?"
Durban lit a cigar out of habit.
"I heard that Mr. Zhuge is doing very well in the mainland. It is said that exports are worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars every month, and industries in various fields are involved. It is really amazing."
Zhuge Daming lit the cigarette and said with a smile: "I don't have as big a brand reputation as Mr. Durban. I can only make purchases in the mainland, be an export businessman, and make a profit. That's all I can do."
"When doing business, we need to help each other. If we have money, we can do it together, and if we have soup, we can drink together. Mr. Zhuge should understand this, right?"
Zhuge Daming said seriously, "I wonder what Mr. Deban means?"
"You know the strategic alliance of green business? In the past month, this alliance seems to have been a bit stormy, which makes us all uneasy. I'm afraid we won't be able to make any profit in the future."
"Why should we be afraid of that? What's the big deal about green development? Is it possible that it will be done at a lower price?"
Thanks to the cheap costs in the mainland, Zhuge Daming is naturally not afraid of price wars. The first companies to launch price wars are always those companies with cost leadership. It pursues the lowest total cost in the entire industry and strives to gain a leading position in cost.
leadership in this industry, so the essence of price competition is cost competition.
What he has been implementing is a price war, but the green business price war is the first to be affected by a large number of industries. In recent years, land prices have increased, labor prices have increased, and water and electricity prices have increased. Naturally, the cost cannot be compared with Yu Dehua.
Improving services tenfold in other areas is not as practical as lower prices. What customers care about most is price and green business.
Because only in this way can market share be rapidly increased and the losses caused by price cuts can be recovered and exceeded.
Unfortunately, there is a fatal weakness. The cost of green business will be higher. In other words, creativity is too difficult and costly. Even if it can be done for a while, there is not so much cost to develop.
"Even if it is reduced, how are they going to do it? Rely on corporate financing? I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for a few months." Zhuge Daming sneered.
Durban said: "Mr. Zhuge, we are all doing business and we all understand the principles, but what if the other party has the possibility of reducing costs?"
Zhuge Daming asked doubtfully, "What does Mr. Durban mean?"
He only cares about Durban's attitude here. The strong are respected, and only the strong can win his respect.
Durban cleared his throat and said, "Let's lower the price a little, and then send people to investigate and find out what is the power behind encouraging the Four Small Families to develop in this direction. This is why I am here."
