"It turns out that the One Belt, One Road policy has such a great impact on us. I thought it was just a matter at the Chinese level and had nothing to do with us ordinary people."
"Yes, after listening to what Mr. Chen said, I realized that macro policies that seemed to be just theories are actually closely related to our lives. As long as opportunities are discovered in advance, even a pig can become the richest man."
"Well, I really learned a lot."
…
All the middle-level cadres also whispered, looking like they had gained a lot.
They originally thought that Chen Hao was making things out of nothing and deliberately suppressed Tian Youliang, and they felt quite aggrieved. Now they truly understood that Tian Youliang was indeed not visionary enough.
Gao Xiyue's beautiful eyes sparkled with a hint of surprise.
As the president, her knowledge is naturally much higher than others, but after listening to what Chen Hao said, she also felt that her eyes were opened and she learned a lot of new things.
Where did Chen Hao's extraordinary insights come from?
Isn't it just the study for that week?
"The second major problem of the Ministry of Foreign Trade is that it fails to cooperate with the group. To put it clearly, it is inconsistent with the group's future development plan."
Chen Hao continued.
Tian Youliang looked shocked again: "Excuse me, Mr. Chen, why did I fail to cooperate with the group?"
Unconsciously, his tone of voice became much more polite.
"I have read the work reports and related materials of the Group's Foreign Trade Department over the years."
Chen Haodao, "The focus of your work is basically on the growth of foreign trade volume and profit generation, and other aspects are basically not involved."
"What's wrong with this?"
Tian Youliang was stunned, "Foreign trade means doing business with foreign countries. As a minister, I increase the trade volume and create profits. This is my job. Why do I need to involve other aspects?"
Everyone looked at Chen Hao in confusion.
"So I say you don't pay enough attention to the external environment, not just national policies, but also the group. You only have eyes for your own department."
Chen Hao said lightly, "Under the leadership of Mr. Gao, the group has been developing rapidly in these years. Both business and profits have increased significantly every year. You have increased the business volume of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and created millions of net profits. Look
The data seems to be very good, but have you calculated what proportion of the group's profits your improvements account for? Is it increasing year by year?"
Tian Youliang's expression changed.
He didn't even think about this problem, let alone calculations.
"I've calculated it before."
Li Yan interjected, "Although the business volume and profits of the Ministry of Foreign Trade have increased every year, compared with the overall development of the group, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and the proportion is declining every year. As of last year, the revenue generated by the Ministry of Foreign Trade was
The profit is less than a fraction of the group’s total profit.”
Everyone looked at each other.
Unexpectedly, the data from the Ministry of Foreign Trade sounds good, but in the total revenue of the group, it is actually in a dispensable position.
"It's about as good as I expected."
Chen Hao nodded and said, "So, Minister Tian, you have not cooperated with the group, or to put it bluntly, your development has not kept up with the group's development."
Tian Youliang's face turned red.
He has always regarded his work performance as his greatest pride and felt that other middle-level cadres were far inferior to him. However, after Chen Hao's analysis, he discovered that he was so far behind.
"Mr. Chen, what should I do to keep up with the development of the group?"
Immediately, Tian Youliang asked in a low voice, his tone becoming sincere and humble.
"It's very simple, whatever industry the group makes money in, you can do foreign trade in."
Chen Haodao, "Don't look at what the mainstream of foreign trade is, just follow it. The mainstream of trade is hot, but the competition will definitely be fierce. We are not a specialized foreign trade company. We have no advantage in competing and it will only be in vain."
Spending time and energy, even if you have outstanding abilities and a high success rate in trade negotiations, you will get very little in the end, which is not proportional to what you pay."
"Mr. Chen, you really hit the nail on the head."
Hearing this, Tian Youliang smiled bitterly and said with deep understanding, "For every trade negotiation, I have to make plans, come up with plans, bargain, and master relevant laws and regulations. I spend all my energy and energy, and I am so tired that I can't even talk about it, but the result is still the majority."
It ends in failure, and the gain outweighs the loss."
"So, this goes back to your last question."
Chen Hao smiled slightly.
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Chen!"
Tian Youliang bowed slightly, showing a respectful look that was all ears.
At this moment, he no longer had any intention of embarrassing Chen Hao. He had even forgotten the embarrassment of being embarrassed in public. He only had deep awe and admiration for Chen Hao in his heart.
Although this young man was much younger than him, his knowledge and understanding of foreign trade far exceeded his. Not only did he point out his problems to the point, but he also provided solutions from a high level.
Tian Youliang even had an enlightenment-like enlightenment, wishing he could listen to Chen Hao's guidance more so that he could apply it to his work.
"The last problem is that the core competitiveness of foreign trade products is insufficient."
Chen Haodao, "In the past, in foreign trade, all you did was products produced by subordinate companies. Although the types were diversified, there were equivalent products that could be substituted on the market, and there were no outstanding advantages in terms of quality and price. This will inevitably lead to foreign trade negotiations.
It’s not easy. And in the future, as national policies are rolled out and more and more companies join the Belt and Road Initiative to carry out foreign trade, your situation will become more and more difficult. Whether it is trade volume or income generation, it will only become less and less.
, there is no way to escape the fate of being eliminated in the end.”
"Mr. Chen is absolutely right."
Tian Youliang nodded repeatedly, "I feel powerless now. It seems that foreign trade is getting harder and harder to do, and customers are getting harder and harder to find. I am deeply worried, but I can't find the reason. Your words suddenly
Let me clear the clouds and see the sun."
"Therefore, only by building our own unique brand can we occupy a place in the increasingly competitive foreign trade, expand our advantages, and obtain high profits."
Chen Haodao said, "It just so happens that the group is about to undergo a strategic transformation and enter the pharmaceutical industry. You can make a fuss about this. Although it will take some time before we have our own products, we can definitely promote the brand in advance.
Building a good reputation will also be of great benefit to your current trade negotiations. As long as everything is on the right track, future development will naturally be around the corner."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, I understand."
Tian Youliang's face was full of joy and he said gratefully, "I will do my best to follow your guidance. Thank you for pointing out the way for me. I hope that Mr. Chen can give me more guidance in my work in the future."
