Chapter 150 Don't be too greedy
"Teacher Zhao, tell me." Su Chen poured him a cup of tea.

Xue Yu sat aside and asked curiously, "Uncle, what happened specifically? Did something serious happen?"

"It's not very serious. It just so happens that you are back, Su Chen. I just have some ideas. Let me communicate with you."

Teacher Zhao lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then said: "Su Chen, after you go abroad, you will definitely come back, right?"

"Yes." Su Chen nodded, feeling a little puzzled, why Teacher Zhao suddenly asked this question.

"Come back and continue to do business? Don't plan to enter the system?"

"Yes, I haven't considered joining the system. You also know my temperament. If I enter the system, I will definitely not do a good job, and I don't have so much time to do other things." Su Chen replied honestly.

Teacher Zhao nodded: "You will not starve to death if you don't enter the system now. I want to know, what do you plan to do in the future? Specific to a certain industry, do you have any plans in this regard?"

"Which industry specifically?" Su Chen thought about it seriously. Although he didn't know why Mr. Zhao would ask this, he still answered truthfully: "I think every industry is involved."

This is really his idea, since he was reborn, don't leave any regrets for himself, otherwise why do you keep fighting like this?
Seeing that the industry that will make money in future generations is in front of my eyes, if I don't fight for it, then I really can't justify it.

Otherwise, if you are reborn and still cling to it, how can you still be reborn?

Teacher Zhao shook his head: "No, your thinking is too one-sided."

"One-sided?" Su Chen was taken aback.

"Yes." Teacher Zhao nodded: "Although I teach physics, I have also done business, so I will put forward some ideas of my own, and treat them as my experience as an elder."

"You say."

"Doing business is not about doing all the businesses in the world, and at the same time, there is no business that can do everything in the world.

For example, Carnegie Steel in the United States, their main business is only steel, and Coca-Cola, their main business is only Coca-Cola.

First do a good job in the business of this market, make it smooth, and then develop two or three surrounding industries to protect the market, put eggs in multiple baskets, and hedge risks. Do you think they have not expanded other industries?

Impossible, with their financial resources, it is easy to do other industries, but why don't they do it?
Let's talk about Rockefeller, he is an oil tycoon, do you think he is incapable of doing other industries?
They must have engaged in other industries, but not in the form of monopoly, but in the name of investment to let others help them make money. If a businessman monopolizes all industries, what do you think will happen? "

Su Chen frowned instantly, and almost blurted out: "Strangled?"

"Almost." Teacher Zhao took a sip of tea and continued:

"Once your plate is too big, then you won't have more energy to manage it, and you will leave troubles instead. People are not machines, and they will follow the procedures you set.

As long as you are a person, you will have your own ideas. If you start a hundred companies together, even if two or three companies have accidents a day, you will be very busy. At the same time, you must also consider the current situation.

Not to mention our country, even those big foreign companies will not have industries all over the place. They will set up a risk department to analyze the risks of the company every day, and then find ways to hedge the risks.

It's good to have ideas, but you can't develop blindly. If you are involved in every industry, you will be left-handed and right-handed.

Moreover, if there are too many industries, people inside the company will consume their capabilities and resources in internal power struggles.

At the same time, non-governmental enterprises are juveniles versus giants in front of the state apparatus, and you can't cope with finding fault with you every day.

If you become an economic dictator, your company and your employees are a complete economic cycle, so how do you create value in this closed economy? "

Su Chen listened carefully to Mr. Zhao's long talk, and at the same time couldn't help thinking about these questions raised by Mr. Zhao.

Once I get involved in all industries, it seems that it is really no different from the current state-owned enterprises. The employees have always been in a state of cadavers and lack of internal competitiveness.

At the same time, the higher authorities will certainly not allow such an economic behemoth to appear.

The more I think about it, the more I sweat. If that's the case, I guess I'm not far from death.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your reminder, otherwise I guess I would really take that step." Su Chen took a deep breath and said gratefully.

Teacher Zhao shook his head: "Maybe I don't say it, maybe you can realize it, because in your eyes, there are opportunities everywhere now, so you want to do it in every industry.

But the world’s business is all about win-win cooperation, not blooming everywhere. If you want to monopolize, then you can monopolize technology. For example, last time you mentioned to me about the structure and lithography machine.

Because many industries rely on the government to operate, and they will never be privately monopolized like foreign countries.

Once the monopoly results in monopoly profits and consumer losses, the government will impose monopoly price controls or entry permits on these industries.

But you can’t be too greedy, eat seven percent of your own food, and leave three percent for others. The more industries the enterprise has, the better it is, but the need for reasonable deployment is the foundation of long-term survival. "

Su Chen nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, I understand."

"I regard Xue Yu as my daughter. Since you two are like this, then I also treat you as my own family." Teacher Zhao said with a smile: "I also want to see how far you can go."

Su Chen scratched his head: "Of course I want to go further, but if it weren't for what you said just now, I guess I would have stumbled."

"If you stumble, you will have a long memory. Too many industries means that a lot of manpower and material resources will be consumed, which is not a flattering thing.

At that time, it will be a troublesome thing if the big tail cannot be removed. Simple and precise is the most suitable. "

Teacher Zhao said: "Money is like flowing water. Only when water flows is living water. Once it does not flow, it is a stagnant pool of water. The closed economic loop cannot generate value."

"Well, I'll hurry up and adjust the direction." Su Chen replied seriously.

Teacher Zhao nodded and smiled: "You can figure it out on your own. Before you get involved in all industries, you should straighten out your thinking first, and don't rush to develop blindly."

"Understood." Su Chen nodded.

Xue Yu said from the side: "Uncle, you two chat first, I will cook, and I can eat in a while."

"No, someone came to visit me today, and I happened to be passing by here, so I just came in and sat down for a while, I have to go."

Teacher Zhao looked at the watch on his wrist, hesitated to speak, and then said vaguely: "Well, if you have time tomorrow, you can come to our house as guests."

"Okay, then we'll visit again tomorrow."

After sending Teacher Zhao out, Su Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, he has drifted away.

It is always difficult for people to check themselves. They may see the strengths and weaknesses of others, but they seldom examine their own weaknesses.

If it wasn't for Mr. Zhao's words, he probably would have plunged into it headlong, with no goal at all, and wanted to do whatever he saw to make money.

Because as long as they are normal people, they will have their own thinking.

His current method is very similar to the state when collecting antiques, a kind of revenge mentality.

Xue Yu asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Su Chen shook his head and smiled: "Uncle told me so much, I have to digest it well."

"It's good that you're fine, I smell you all smell bad, do you want to go out to take a bath, or should I boil hot water?" Xue Yu slapped her eyes with her hands, pretending to look disgusted.

This little man is very nice, he can easily listen to what others say, and he is not so stubborn.

Anyway, she is very satisfied, because this is what she wants.

Even if the two of them don't talk, they won't feel awkward.

"Don't bother Teacher Xue, I'll go out and take a bath." Su Chen said with a smile: "I have some things in my bag, and there are hand creams for you."

"Okay, I'll clean it up, you go take a bath first."

Su Chen took a change of clothes and went out to the nearby bathhouse.

Someone is already soaking in the bathhouse.

Su Chen ignored it, after all, a large group of people took the bath together, and the one upstairs was repaired today, so he couldn't get in.

After soaking in the pool for a while, a man on the opposite side suddenly said, "Who is Xu Zhi?"

　I wish everyone a happy Qixi Festival.

　　A friend mentioned that XX is not a bad guy, not to say that there are no people in this field, but XX is doing more profitable business, such as steel, aluminum, tickets and so on.

　　The losers who made a lot of money from it, these people are the xx who hold the approval from their parents...

　　Noble capital begins to form from this moment.

　　Why don't you write xx, or Hunzi, Leizi, because these things can't be written more, and I have already entered a few chapters.
