Chapter 118 The future is not an e-commerce economy
The seminar will be held in a large conference room on the third floor, which can accommodate 5,000 people.
There are only seven to eight hundred companies participating in this retailer conference. Counting the number of employees in each company, there are only three to four thousand people.
The person in charge of the company sat in the front, the employees sat in the back, and there were media reporters in the aisle.
Jiang Guohua had not appeared before. On the last day of the day, he finally showed up and sat on the table in the conference room with a row of Liuzhou City officials.
Next to him is a relatively famous economist, the dean of the School of Economics of Liuzhou University.
Jiang Guohua looked at everyone with a smile. He first expressed the city government's importance to this conference and welcomed everyone on behalf of Liuzhou City.
Then he said that he would create a superior business environment in Liuzhou City and that everyone who liked it could invest in Liuzhou City.
After finishing the official rhetoric, Jiang Guohua immediately introduced the experts on the side to everyone.
"This is Dean Yu Chengen of Liuzhou University. He has unique insights into the future retail industry. Everyone welcomes him."
There was a sparse round of applause from the audience, but Yu Zhengen didn't care. He looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Everyone here is a leader in different fields. They are all very good. As I sit here, I feel quite stressed.
.”
"If you say the wrong thing, you may lose your insurance later in life."
The people below had a smile on their lips, feeling that the other party was interested.
"I don't need to say some clichés or the like. It would be a waste of time to say it, and you will feel irritated."
"Let's talk about the theme of this conference. Our country's Internet has also developed for decades. Now, it has become extremely mature. Even a large number of physical stores have been closed down by e-commerce..."
Yu Zhengen said with a smile.
Many people nodded when they heard this. This is a fact and everyone has experienced it.
"Many Internet tycoons say that e-commerce will replace physical stores in the future, changing the way people shop and making shopping more convenient."
Having said this, Yu Zhengen looked down at the front row, which was a senior executive of Ant.
The other party also smiled.
This is what his boss said.
"Well, it turns out that he was right. In the past decade or so, online shopping has changed the way people shop and has had a huge impact on all walks of life."
"..."
Listening to these words full of flattery, some people have become impatient. They are all at the top of the world. There are many people who want to lick others, so you need to brag about them here.
"Haha, but I have a new perspective recently, which was inspired by Professor Yang Fengshan from our school."
Yu Zhengen said with a smile, which made many people tremble.
What does it mean?
Many people looked up and stared at each other.
"Now the real economy has been suppressed to the point where it cannot sustain itself. However, in the future, it may be that the real economy will dominate."
Yu Zhengen spoke in shock.
Everyone was in an uproar, looking at each other like crazy people. Are you kidding me? The future will still be dominated by the real economy. Now that e-commerce is so popular, you can make money by selling garbage. You can also make money from physical store rent, water, electricity, labor, etc.
Which one doesn’t require money, how can it compare with e-commerce?
However, Hao Ren was stunned. The name Yang Fengshan was so familiar. After thinking about it carefully, Hao Ren suddenly remembered that someone had come to his store before and asked what was added to the products in his store.
He said he was a teacher at Liuzhou University.
However, he was kicked away by himself and he was never seen again, so he forgot about it.
"Yang Fengshan, a professor at the Academy of Food Science, is also my friend. We often talk about the prospects of the retail industry. In the end, we all come to the conclusion that the real economy will be reversed in the future..."
Yu Zhengen said unhurriedly, not too fast, looking for evidence to support his judgment from the national level, to the economic level, and even to the social level.
Originally, a group of people were a little disdainful, but after listening to each other's explanation, some people also nodded thoughtfully.
However, the big guys at the front didn't care at all. They mainly did this. They didn't know what the facts were.
Brick and mortar just can’t do e-commerce.
After Yang Fengshan finished speaking, everything in the venue was quiet, but soon someone stood up and expressed their opinions.
What's more important is to advertise, introduce your company, promote how awesome their company is and welcome cooperation, and then your own views on the future of the retail industry.
Hao Ren listened to everyone's arguments here and felt like sleeping.
After hearing half of it, he took his employees and left.
The conference ended like this, but Hao Ren's products were also transported to all directions across the country along with this conference.
Just like a small fire, it will set off a sea of fire in the future!
…
Hao Ren didn't care. On the third day after the conference, he suddenly received a call from Guo Lin.
"Brother Hao, congratulations!"
Guo Lin said with a smile.
Hao Ren was a little surprised. He had sold tens of millions of goods at the previous conference, and the other party came to congratulate him?
The time is not right either.
"You are now the representative of young entrepreneurs in Liuzhou City and one of the top ten entrepreneurial pioneers in Jiang Province."
Guo Lin seemed to know Hao Ren's surprise and continued to add.
Representative of young entrepreneurs? One of the top ten entrepreneurial pioneers in Jiang Province?
Why didn’t I know? Who arranged it for me?
Hao Ren was even more surprised when he heard this.
"Brother Guo, where did you get this information? As a person involved, I don't know anything about it."
"Haha, I just came out of the Liuzhou City Government. Mayor Jiang said that after all, your supermarket sales are too strong. It is certain that you will become a major taxpayer in Liuzhou City in the future. The government will definitely support you."
Guo Lin said with a smile, this is also a basic operation. The stronger you are, the more resources you will get. This is an eternal truth.
After all, the government also needs to develop and is under financial pressure. Where does the money come from? It’s not from local enterprises. Moutai’s annual tax payment accounts for the majority of Guizhou Province, and it can be called a cash cow for a province. If the money is not enough, it doesn’t matter. Let’s do it.
You are so wealthy, throwing away hundreds of millions is like ordinary people throwing away dozens of yuan.
Some netizens once joked that a company feeds a province!
Although Jiang Province is also a large province, it really does not have any very large enterprises comparable to Moutai.
Hearing this, Hao Ren nodded.
"I estimate that the government office will call you about this news soon. Then you will definitely have to go on TV and hold a press conference. I would like to congratulate you here first."
Guo Lin smiled and explained that although he was the chairman of a tens-billion company, he kept his attitude very low.
"Thank you, bro."
Hao Ren also responded politely, "I'll treat you to dinner when I have time."
"Okay, definitely."
Guo Lin's voice was extremely hearty and he didn't mention the matter of buying shares that he mentioned last time. The two talked casually for a while and then hung up the phone.
Just after hanging up the phone, Hao Ren received a new call. Just as Guo Lin said, the government and the Liuzhou Enterprise Association jointly elected Hao Ren as this year's Liuzhou Young Entrepreneur Representative.
Of course, there are companies larger than Hao Ren, and there are companies with more sales, but in terms of potential, profit, and development, Hao Ren’s supermarket can say with a smile,
"Everyone here is rubbish!"
The press conference is scheduled for next Wednesday. In addition to the title of Young Entrepreneur Representative, there are naturally other related selections. An event cannot be held just for Hao Ren.
Chen Yao's career has been very busy recently. The company has just been established, and everything is waiting to be done. Chen Yao needs to worry about finance, business and other aspects. Of course, she is only responsible for the general direction, and she still has to rely on Liu Nan for specific details.
The team brought by Wang Xiaozhi and others.
When he returned home in the evening, Hao Ren received a WeChat message from his mother. Originally, they didn't know how to use it, but they got new phones for them before, and after a lot of effort, they finally got it.
Looking at several pictures on his phone, Hao Ren looked strange.
This is a photo. The girl looks pretty good. She looks about twenty-seven, dignified and majestic.
In the past, this was definitely a goddess in Hao Ren's eyes.
But now, it's just average.
He didn't understand what his mother meant.
"This is someone who asked your sister-in-law to introduce him. He is a very good-looking person. He is from a village near us and works in Liuzhou City. It is said that he is also a manager. Well, you can try dating. If possible, get the certificate and get married this year."
Mother Hao said on WeChat.
There is also a mobile phone number below.
Hao Ren was speechless, he had a girlfriend.
Just as he was about to talk to his mother, he glanced at the photos on his phone. Hao Ren suddenly said nothing and added the other person's WeChat account by accident.
Silver Maple International Hotel——Su Xi.
The avatar is of a woman wearing professional attire, energetic and looking extremely capable.
I also know that this hotel is a five-star hotel in Liuzhou City.
The other party also passed quickly.
Hao Ren was about to send a hello expression when the other party spoke first.
"Hao Ren, right? Well, I'm free tomorrow. There is a cafe next to the Silver Maple Hotel. I will be there at one o'clock in the afternoon. I hope you can arrive on time."
Seeing the commanding tone of the other party, Hao Ren was a little speechless, but when he was about to say something, the other party said it again.
"Well, let me tell you first, I am a career-oriented person and have no plans to have children for the time being, and I don't like living with my parents after I get married..."
"..."
Hao Ren looked at the other party's words, and a curiosity suddenly arose in his heart. He really wanted to know what kind of confidence Su Xi had that allowed Su Xi to say such a thing.
After all, I can be considered a multi-millionaire. I can probably count the number of people in Liuzhou City who can say this to me on one hand.
The next day, at the cafe next to the Silver Maple Hotel, Hao Ren arrived at one o'clock on time and saw the other party sitting at a table by the window.
When walking over, Hao Ren also looked at the other person carefully. The other person was wearing a pair of leather boots, a black women's suit, and delicate makeup on his face.
She has short hair and a string of green earrings hanging from her earlobes.
