Chapter 900 Where is the road
"At this stage, it is better to survive first. It is very difficult to develop."
It is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money.
In later generations, military-industrial companies have become richer and richer. Shipyards making destroyers are like making dumplings. Moreover, one or two ships like 055 can fight against aircraft carriers, and their technological content is also very high.
However, this is not possible at this stage. China is now a poor country. As for how poor it is, just look at its foreign exchange reserves.
It’s not that the country has no foreign exchange earnings, but that it spends all its money just to purchase advanced foreign equipment.
In fact, the country's foreign exchange reserves are not as large as the foreign exchange deposits in the Great Wall Bank.
Therefore, Mr. Shen expressed a certain degree of sympathy for the current situation of the military industrial enterprises during this period. Your hard days are still to come. Before 2000, your life will not be easy.
The reason why Shen Guanglin is not completely sympathetic to these companies is because these companies have indeed gone too far.
In later generations, Chinese manufacturing was said to be of high quality and low price, but in this period, it was possible to achieve low prices, but the goods were not beautiful at all.
Whether the weapons delivered to our brothers in the Middle East are useful or not depends entirely on luck, and depends on heaven.
Of course, the weapons of this era are still much better than those during the period of friction with our southern neighbors, where the quality was even worse.
Two years later, when we were waiting for the Gulf War, the performance of China's weapons on the battlefield was, how should I put it, no performance.
Anyone who has traveled to Eastern Europe knows that what foreign people pursue is good quality and low price, not just low price.
Nowadays, in Eastern European countries, Wenzhou leather shoes have become notorious on the streets. It seems that as long as they are made from Wenzhou, they must be of inferior quality.
This concept has seriously damaged the reputation of China's manufacturing industry, and this reputation has not improved much in later generations.
It is easy to destroy a reputation, but difficult to build one.
For example, in the international arena, Asan Country has a very prominent reputation for not being trustworthy, which is almost the same as Bangzi Country's lack of sportsmanship.
What should these military industrial companies do?
Shen Guanglin thought for a moment. In his time, military industrial enterprises did not seem to have any good development ideas at this time. Even if the gods came, they would not be able to come up with any good ideas.
"I suggest that we consider converting some enterprises from military to civilian."
There was really no good solution, so Shen Guanglin could only give a very unoriginal suggestion.
However, converting the military to civilians is already quite innovative, at least in the eyes of veteran military engineer Lao Li, who strongly disagrees with the idea of companies converting military to civilians.
"Asking military industrial companies to produce shovels and kitchen knives? Are you kidding me?"
Lao Li was unhappy. He came to see his son-in-law for advice, and he was not dismissed with just such a word.
Shen Guanglin didn't take it seriously, "Even if you can make shovels and kitchen knives, it's still a skill. In the future, with the reduction of military orders, if they don't switch to civilian use early, do you think they can survive?"
Lao Li thought about it and realized that he really couldn't survive.
That's why I came to Shen Guanglin to show his doctrine. Otherwise, why would I come here to find you? Is it to embarrass you?
"I think your Great Wall Group's electrical appliances are very good. Your TV commercials are played on TV every day, and you can't even see the Yanwu thing."
Lao Li was very emotional about this.
"Yanwu" is a well-known electrical appliance brand in the past few years, and its advertising slogan is also particularly eye-catching, "Yanwu, Yanwu, a song brings a feeling of love."
Nowadays, Great Wall Electric's advertisements are overwhelming on TV. In particular, their radio recorders have become more compact and intelligent, and their product lines are more complete, ranging from walkman to large tape recorders. Such a dimensionality reduction blow directly makes people feel uncomfortable.
The Yanwu brand slowly disappeared.
The same is true for TV sets. After the Great Wall Group's TV sets were launched, there was another brand of Great Wall TV, but they were squeezed out by them.
There is no way, who let the Great Wall Group own the registered trademark of Great Wall? Even brands with a longer history cannot defeat the big gangsters of this era.
However, Great Wall Group only looks good from the outside, but actually faces many difficulties.
In Shen Guanglin's view, their rate of making money is still too slow, and they are often subject to a shortage of raw materials, and they always feel like they have nowhere to go.
"You want military industrial enterprises to produce electrical appliances? That's not impossible. Hasn't Changhong in western Sichuan already switched to producing televisions? I heard that they introduced a color TV production line from Fuso, which is known as military quality and is selling well in the Yuzhou area.
, our Great Wall products can’t even be sold.”
"Are there any products that you can't sell? I heard from my friends that in Eastern European countries, your Great Wall electrical appliances are everywhere. This is the first to go global."
What Lao Li said is true.
In recent years, with the joint efforts of various entrepreneurs and official channel exporters, the products of the Great Wall Group have become a new business card of foreign trade. This is a win-win situation. They can also bring a lot of foreign exchange income to the country every year.
.
Although the Great Wall Group does not export electrical appliances, half of its electrical appliances are exported. This is why their electrical appliances are in short supply in the domestic market.
However, there are actually reasons why Great Wall Electric can be marketed overseas but not popular in China.
"There is a word called 'regional protection', you know? Our electrical appliances are sold overseas and we earn hard-earned money. It is not as much as the money I make from opening my mouth to make alms."
When it comes to money, Shen Guanglin has been a little confused recently, especially when the chartering king left him a large sum of money as if for future generations, which makes Shen feel very embarrassed.
Is Mr. Shen a man who is short of money? He just enjoys the process of chasing wealth.
It's so embarrassing for you, Old Man Bao, to take so much wealth and let Shen manage it.
Old Man Bao asked, do you want the money or not?
Of course.
After all, this is the dock located in Xiangjiang, and this is the rooster that lays the golden eggs.
In later generations, a certain superman amassed countless wealth by relying on the dock.
Shen Guanglin also said, I am not coveting your wealth. I can keep this property for you. The wealth generated in the future will benefit your hometown. When you die, people will not forget you.
Human physiological death is not terrible, but social death is terrible.
When the whole world forgets you, you will truly be socially dead.
“How to die socially?”
At that time, the charter king asked such a question.
This question is actually not difficult to answer: "If a rich and famous person like you ran around naked in Central, he would probably die socially."
Indeed, we are all respectable people, and we are not Zhu Di. We need to pretend to be crazy. Who can do such a thing?
However, if you just do something out of the ordinary, you will still be forgotten quickly. "You can't count what you have done, and you can't count what you have done."
"This is also simple. Citigroup's World Trade Center has two tall buildings. If..."
