After saying this, many people at the scene were unhappy.
Although there are very few people here who specialize in Walkmans and generally make large home appliances such as TVs and refrigerators, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all in the low-end market. After all, although the high-end market has high profits, how can
It is impossible for them to compete with foreign companies.
And Liu Feng's words scolded everyone.
When Liu Feng saw everyone's expressions changing, he immediately realized that what he said was not right, and quickly changed his words: "The poor man's mentality I mentioned refers specifically to you, Ye Chen!"
“Poor people’s thinking?
Then Mr. Liu thinks his thinking is the thinking of the rich?
That would be interesting, are you richer than me?"
Ye Chen asked slowly, "The sales of Morning Food under my control exceed 100 million a year, and the market valuation cannot be less than 1 billion. I hold 70% of the shares. If I want, I can even hold 70% of the shares."
100% of the shares, that is to say, my current worth is at least 700 million, or even 1 billion if I am arrogant! What about you?"
Liu Feng was immediately embarrassed. He and Ye Chen were here for a long time, and he even forgot that the other party was the founder of Qingchen Food!
"You, you, morning food is a low-end manufacturing industry, what's the big deal?"
"It's nothing great! But I'm rich! My assets are enough to prove that I am a rich man. Now, as a rich man, my thinking is that of a poor man. Mr. Liu doesn't know how many assets he has, so he dares to say that he is a rich man.
Rich people think?”
The scene fell silent again, and everyone looked at Liu Feng, who was blushing. It was obvious that Liu Feng had completely lost this debate. He was once forced into a blind corner by the other party, and there was no way to fight back.
"What I mean by rich people's thinking is spiritual. It's a high-end topic. Do you understand high-end?"
Liu Feng was still stubborn and unconvinced.
A few years ago, Ye Chen was still a submissive son-in-law in his family, and he looked down on him in every possible way. Why did the situation change so quickly now?
This was simply unacceptable to Liu Feng.
"High-end topic?
What high-end topic?
You might as well talk about it and open the eyes of this country bumpkin like me."
"Although I studied science and engineering in Japan, I still have a certain understanding of the world's industrial structure. I wonder if Mr. Ye understands this topic."
"You want to talk to me about the world's industrial landscape?
are you sure?
Are you sure you can convince me?"
Ye Chen laughed, wasn't he hitting the muzzle of his own gun?
When Liu Feng heard that the other party not only did not refuse, but also looked eager to try, he immediately beamed. What qualifications did a person who graduated from junior high school and had never gone abroad have to talk to him on this kind of topic?
As long as you seize the opportunity later and attack him severely, you can get back all the lost positions!
Thinking about it, Liu Feng tugged on his collar again and said: "We are all entrepreneurs, so we must have a basic understanding of foreign industrial capabilities. Then I will briefly talk about what I have learned over the years.
Conclusions after inspections in various countries.”
"First of all, let me briefly talk about the current situation. I think the world's industrial pattern has been set, and there is basically no possibility of reversal. First, raw materials will be provided by some poor areas, such as Africa, and then some regions will
Primary processing, such as Japan, South Korea, etc., and then sent to some developed areas for high-end processing, such as Europe, the United States, etc., and finally dumped back to the place of origin."
"All this has formed a complete industrial chain. Everyone performs their duties and everyone earns something!"
"Of course, some countries are quite special, such as my country, which not only supplies raw materials but also processes primary products."
"So what do I think?
I think this is a blessing for our country! Isn’t the so-called manufacturing industry divided into primary manufacturing, terminal manufacturing and high-end manufacturing? All three are indispensable!”
"As long as you occupy a part of it, you will have enough to eat and drink! As our country has a large population and cheap labor, the primary manufacturing industry is perfect for us!"
"We should now just sit down and focus on the low-end manufacturing industry, be a part of the world's industry, and become an indispensable part of the world. We can try our hand at the mid-end manufacturing industry. As for the high-end manufacturing industry, we should
Yes, that is the result of decades of hard research by Western developed countries. We are not qualified and have no need to compete with others. We can make money just lying around, so why should we be enemies with others?"
Ye Chen stood aside and listened carefully. Liu Feng's words were actually very simple. He believed that the world's industrial structure had been completely determined, classes had been solidified, and downstream countries could not resist, nor were they qualified to resist.
We can only engage in low-end manufacturing obediently and learn to be grateful. If it weren't for the generosity of Western countries, we wouldn't even be able to earn this hard-earned money!
Of course, generally speaking, Liu Feng's words are very naive and superficial. He talks about his own opinions throughout the article, and does not mention some of the changes that are happening in the world.
For example, the industrial relocation of the Four Asian Tigers, the Western low-end manufacturing elimination plan, the increasing foreign investment in mainland China, etc.
"Okay, I'm done. I wonder what Mr. Ye thinks?" Liu Feng put down the microphone and enjoyed the applause from the audience.
"Isn't this too busy!"
Jia Hui was a little angry below, "After all, I have returned from studying abroad. How can you possibly be able to talk to them about the world?"
"Yes, Mr. Ye went a little too far."
Xu Zhiyuan also sighed, "Although what Liu Feng said is very simple, to outsiders it still sounds very high-level."
Ye Chen looked at these reactions, took the microphone over, and said slowly: "Mr. Liu's understanding of the so-called world industrial structure is really laughable. With your little knowledge, I can't read the newspapers for two days."
I can play better than you."
"Now I seriously doubt whether you bought your Ph.D., just like my father spent a pack of cigarettes when registering for me and changed my education to high school."
After saying that, the audience burst into laughter.
"If you have anything to say, Mr. Ye, just say it. Don't talk to me about this!"
Liu Feng said with a cold face.
"Okay, then I will refute one point, and that is whether our country should be completely satisfied with the so-called low-end industry."
“First, from the 1980s onwards, lower trade and investment barriers, reduced freight costs and rapid technological advances made it increasingly possible to break up production processes and locate them in different countries, which could take advantage of lower costs,
Advantages include easy access to raw materials and a more favorable policy environment.”
“The global production system moves forward, linking product and labor markets in developed and developing countries.
They can be classified as buyer trends, manufacturer trends, and the increasing Internet orientation since the mid-1990s."
“The buyer-driven chain includes large retailers, marketers and brand manufacturers who are the main force in setting up decentralized production (e.g. clothing, toys, electronics) in many exporting countries, often developing countries.”
"Manufacturer-driven chains include large, often multinational manufacturers that play a major role in coordinating production networks.
These are typically capital- and technology-intensive products, such as cars.
Finally, Internet-led networks are based on a 'build-to-request' model, creating levels of scale and efficiency not possible before."
“In the past decade or so, an increasing number of developing countries have acquired the capacity to produce complex processed products and are now more involved in competing for higher value-added activities in global production chains.
The buyer-driven production system is a key channel in the export-oriented industrialization process."
“While some companies in several developing countries have moved up the technology and skills ladder, the technological and investment-financial advantages held by companies in industrialized countries make it very difficult for newcomers from developing countries to enter many global markets.
."
"The failure to acknowledge that the playing field is unfair to many developing countries is a major source of tensions in trade relations.
For example, industrialized countries threaten to use anti-dumping measures to protect and restrict imports with low labor costs, but it is impossible to adopt similar measures for low-cost technology imports."
“Therefore, for companies in developing countries, entering the global production system is a major way to start the process of upgrading products and processes. For this reason, they can now engage in low-end manufacturing, but they must not be satisfied with this!”
"In addition, as a proportion of the total employed population, the industrial sector accounted for 21.0% in both 1985 and 1990.
This flat trend conceals the fact that industrial employment in some industrialized countries fell from 28.7% of total employment in 1985 to 24.8% in 1990, while this proportion increased in some large developing countries.
