Chapter 29 The future of businessmen
"Dear brothers, since the cooperation in the supermarket, Lin is very grateful for his care and dedication. At the beginning of the new year, Lin set up a simple banquet and wanted to gather with everyone. Let me give you a drink first!" Lin Feng raised his glass first and said warmly.
The shareholders immediately responded with a loud promise and raised their glasses to respond.
Lin Feng poured two more glasses of wine, wishing the supermarket a more prosperous future and the shareholders' families a better and better, so naturally they all did it.
After three rounds of wine, Lin Feng directly entered the topic: "The achievements of the supermarket are in front of everyone, so I won't talk about it. Today I will only talk about the future of the supermarket. Just now, the store manager Fang also told me that the newly opened market is trying to compete with us. How do you think we should deal with it?"
Zhuge Tian, a family of Xuanzhou pen making, drank three glasses of wine, his face turned a little red, and he said loudly: "Mr. Lin, you can't just forget it. I think you should use the power of King Zheng to completely deal with these wise men!"
"I think it's not possible to be strong. Those who can establish a market are either rich or noble. They are all people with foundations, and this will definitely have an impact on King Zheng's reputation." Xie Junfang next to Zhuge Tian said loudly.
The Xie family made porcelain in Fuliang County, Raozhou (later Jingdezhen) for generations, and had borrowed the power of the government to attack competitors, but the final result was almost both sides of the loss, so he was not very interested in this method. He then put forward his own idea, "The things in the market should be solved in the market. I suggest that everyone sacrifice some profits and we will use the ultra-low price strategy to defeat them all!"
"In this case, it will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and hurt yourself by 800! I suggest that you treat the person with the same method. We will also secretly let some wind out to make the other party uneasy." Huajia Huashengfei, who runs Mizuha Ayaori, said with a shaking head.
Others also argued loudly.
After the voice fell a little, Lin Feng said softly: "I will reveal good news to you first. Some time ago, Lin led his troops to Chu and successfully resolved the civil strife in Chu. After Lin's efforts, the vast market of Chu will also be launched to the Tang Dynasty. Everyone's business can be smoothly done to Chu in the future."
Lord Lin made great contributions again. The Chu market can show its strength in the future. This is actually two good news!
Everyone here is very smart, and immediately stood up to toast and congratulate Lin Feng.
Lin Feng drank two glasses of wine in a row and signaled everyone to sit down and talk.
"Today is Yuan Zhengli. It should be just a matter of happiness, but Lin has been thinking about a problem. As a businessman, our future, and where is the future of every businessman?" Lin Feng smiled and said in a deep voice, pointing to everyone present, looking at the smile on everyone's face, then continued.
"Since ancient times, why have you never been rich for three generations? Why are there not many big business families passed down from generation to generation? At that time, it was as rich as Tao Zhu Gong and as noble as Lu Buwei. Now, where are their descendants?"
Tao Zhugong, also known as Fan Li, who helped Goujian, Yue Kingdom become a domineering. After he became famous, he retired bravely and pseudonym Qiyi Zipi. During this period, he became a wealthy business three times. He then scattered his family fortune and called himself Tao Zhugong. He was the ancestor of Chinese Confucian businessmen and later became respected as "Shang Sheng". Lu Buwei was a famous businessman, politician, and thinker in the late Warring States Period. "Trades, sells high prices, and spends a lot of money in his family." However, his most proud big deal in his life was to meet the exiled Qin prince Ying Yiren and sponsor him to return to the country to ascend the throne, thus successfully realizing the historic transformation of his personal from business to politics. He once became the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and organized his disciples to compile the famous "Lüshi Chunqiu".
Lin Feng's words stirred up waves in the hearts of these merchants. Everyone put down their wine glasses, and many people's faces became solemn. Yes, for thousands of years, they have been a social class of scholars, farmers, industrialists and commerce. Even people as rich and noble as Lu Buwei did not end up well. Instead, they affected future generations. What should I do if a small businessman like himself do in the future?
Lin Feng was very satisfied with the effect and continued: "About the issue of market competition, I would like to tell you another small matter. I led my army to fight a war with the Southern Han army in the Guizhou-managed area, and then tried to implement the Yihan Covenant in the Guizhou-managed area. I feel that this kind of covenant is also commercially connected and there are some references."
Afterwards, Lin Feng told the Yihan Alliance one by one, and the faces of several smarter shareholders immediately lit up.
"Analyze the successful establishment of the Yihan Alliance. What is the ultimate goal? It is just equality, equal interests, and win-win cooperation. I put the Yihan and the Han people at the same position. The root of the conflict between the Yihan and the Han people no longer exists. If you have something to argue and discuss on the surface, Lin believes that there will be no major conflict between the Yihan and the Han areas in the Guizhou area in the future." Lin Feng analyzed it slowly.
Many people have figured out the tricks and nodded constantly.
Lin Feng drank a glass of wine and continued: "Let's go back to our market competition issue. In Lin's view, it is only because the merchant family has not been passed down for a hundred years since ancient times. In addition to the unpredictable political situation, it is also related to everyone's malicious competition, which completely disrupts the market order and makes the heavens angry and the others resentful."
Lin Feng is also a fact. From ancient times to the present, the most widely used competitive methods by Chinese merchants are nothing more than price wars or stumbling on the other party. But in the end, the business environment of the entire industry deteriorated and the people of the government and the people hated it, and in the end no one fell through.
The merchants who could sit here today rushed over from the business war, so they were naturally scared of vicious competition and nodded again.
Lin Feng said loudly: "In Lin's opinion, this is actually a pattern problem. If your vision is very narrow, your eyes are only staring at the opponents around you, and you only see a Jinling City. I forgot that there are Tanzhou, Tokyo, and Qingyuan Army further away. To put it bluntly, your pattern can only be regarded as short-sighted and without vision."
Lin Feng's sharp words immediately made the few people who had just proposed the solution lower their heads.
"What is the most advanced and best competitive strategy? It is to never let the other party keep up, can't learn, can't do it!" Lin Feng stood up, pointed at Li Sheng during the meal, and said loudly.
"Why is the Li family called the "No. 1 in the world" unparalleled? It is precisely because the Li family is dedicated to making ink, focusing on excellence and striving for excellence.
Therefore, Lin believes that if everyone wants to always be invincible and make their competitors unable to shake a point, the first thing is to focus on making your product quality, quality and level the best in the world. This is the most basic way to win!
Secondly, make your service the best in the world! What the guest thought of, you have done it, what the guest thought of, and you have thought of, you have also thought of, only after you have grasped the service and can you always grasp the hearts of customers!
Finally, it is also the key point that affects everyone's future. Make your industry into an industry that can develop healthily forever. Even if you defeat your competitors, you have no competitors and you have lost the motivation to improve yourself, and this industry is not far from destruction. If you can do your best to expand the entire industry from a bowl to a bucket, a tank, or even a pond, a river, and a sea, wouldn't everyone be able to gallop across the board?"
Speaking of this, Lin Feng paused for a moment and asked these shareholders to think about this truth. When he saw many people showing thoughtful expressions and even nodding repeatedly, he continued to say:
"Mr. Lin has a suggestion, can we shareholders join forces? Zheng Wang and I will take the lead and sit down with the owners of other markets to negotiate with the Yihan Covenant, and jointly establish a regulations on self-discipline and norms for the supermarket industry? Discuss and determine what everyone can do together and what everyone cannot do, and jointly create a healthy development environment for this industry?"
Lin Feng stared at everyone at the scene and said loudly: "Now, according to our rules, please raise your hands to vote on Lin's proposal!
Under Lin Feng's sharp eyes, nearly half of the shareholders immediately raised their hands, and other shareholders at the scene also raised their right hands one by one.
"Okay, this proposal is approved. From tomorrow, please invite Zhang Yuewen on behalf of Lin. At noon on the third day of the first lunar month, we will hold an industry conference in Mingcui Building by the Qinhuai River!" Lin Feng said enthusiastically.
Chapter completed!
