Rekindle 2003

Chapter 789: Have I become his employee?
Qing Yun shrugged his shoulders upon hearing this and poured him another cup of tea.

Wu Lujun's concept of "ultimate value for money" is definitely wrong, but he is too lazy to talk nonsense.

As Wu Lujun himself said, some people run a company as a product, pursuing "self-interest". Under this logic, the so-called "ultimate cost performance" is nothing more than "same performance, cheapest price; same price, best performance."

This kind of slogan can easily confuse consumers.

However, since they have the same performance, why can he offer the cheapest price?

Relying on amoeba?
If you can do amoeba today, can I do it tomorrow?

Rely on the supply chain?
Is the supply chain just for you?

If you are unable to provide sufficient profit margins for each company in the supply chain, why should these companies become your exclusive property?
Goods are worth the price.

If you want to go for the ultimate cost-effectiveness route, you can only focus on the raw materials in the end.

Grain vinegar costs 20 yuan a bottle, how can it beat blended vinegar that costs 2 yuan a bottle?
A few pounds of grain aged day after day are not worth a drop of caramel color additive.

What ordinary people need is cheap products, and blended vinegar will not kill people.

As a result, grain vinegar disappeared from mass supermarkets.

The same is true for electronic products. In a fully competitive market, if prices are to go down, the only way is to change the raw materials.

The cost reduction brought about by economies of scale cannot compete with others' replacement of cheaper capacitors.

Therefore, an adjective called "solid materials" has gradually become more common in the reviews of electronic products.

Is it okay if it’s not solid?

Of course it is possible.

Just like blended vinegar, it also complies with national standards.

Like Wu Lujun's approach of using bulk capacitors worth a few cents, it can still achieve the national standard of three-year warranty.

But the consequence is that electronic products now have their own term: consumer-grade electronic products.

Whether in China or in Europe and the United States, 99.9999% of companies survive much shorter than people realize, just three to five years.

So they are too lazy to worry about the quality, as long as there is no problem with the shelf life.

If something goes wrong, there is also crisis PR, 'It's so cheap, what else can you ask for? '

However, it becomes embarrassing when the company survives beyond the average lifespan.

A grain factory will never be able to produce high-end products, because no one will buy into its high-end products.

Because the buyers of high-end products are not sensitive to price, what they pursue is user experience, as well as the humanistic spirit and common characteristics of the group.

The grain factory's "extreme cost-effectiveness" has long been deeply rooted in people's minds.

As a business model, there is nothing wrong with extreme cost-effectiveness, as it is a way to make money.

And this approach is also a successful strategy.

In the era before Qing Yun's rebirth, Wu Lujun was already little known, but his disciple was at the peak of his career.

Lei Bush.

Thunder son.

Jun'er.

However, if Qing Yun wants to be an industrial capital, a chain leader enterprise, and an enterprise that can be passed down from generation to generation like a work of art, he must eliminate these "extreme cost-effectiveness" that can threaten the survival of his enterprise.

Zhi Liu wouldn't even tolerate someone who boasted that 'the Chinese market only needs two brands, one is Fantasy and the other is Shenzhou', so how could he possibly tolerate him?

That's it.

Wu Lujun had no choice but to figure this out. As the lowest price in the industry, he was indeed blocking Qing Yun's way.

"I can only say that your way of playing is different from ours."

Qing Yun did not respond to the words, but asked Wu Lujun with great interest, "Mr. Wu, I want to ask, what is your plan to take the industrial park away?"

Maybe this guy wants to make a comeback?
Having said that, if Wu Lujun still has this idea, Emperor Yun feels that it is a bit ungrateful.

It would be better to overturn the table and beat him to death, and put an end to it all.

Wu Lujun smiled bitterly and said, "I want to be a landlord in the future."

After hearing this, Qing Yun was stunned.

"Landlord?"

Wu Lujun smiled and looked at the young man in front of him jokingly.

He pointed at Qingyun, then at himself, "There is a fundamental difference between us. To me, the company is a product, but to you, it is a work of art."

At this point, he laughed out loud, "You despise Song Ruhua's model, but I admire it very much."

As he spoke, he handed Qing Yun a cigarette, lit it himself, and said slowly, "In fact, Song Ruhua's industrial park concept is correct.

Our generation is completely different from yours. I don’t say that land is the obsession of our generation.

Mr. Xiaoqing, Song Ruhua and I, our generation... can only stand at this level."

He exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed, "For you... or after you... starting a business will become too easy.

Our generation is known as the "going-in-business" generation. Whether it's me, Song Ruhua, your father-in-law, Shi Yuzhu, Zhi Liu, etc., we all used to eat government food.

What was the situation we were facing?”

He shook his head. “Except for some people whose families have resources that can be converted into cash, the vast majority of people, except for Zhi Liu, who I just mentioned, are people who choose to start their own businesses because life is too difficult and they cannot live a good life.

Didn't your father-in-law start his business because he wanted to eat meat? Didn't Song Ruhua leave school because he was ostracized in school?
As for me, it was because my daughter couldn’t afford foreign milk powder…”

Having said that, Wu Lujun wiped his face with both hands, his voice choked with sobs.

Qingyun knew that Wu Lujun started his business because he was upset at his ex-wife's home.

Wu Lujun smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly, and continued, "It's just that in this process, because of cognition and experience, everyone chooses different directions, which forms the difference between making products and making works of art.

But what was the social environment we faced at the time? Everyone thought we were not doing our jobs properly because we had given up our stable jobs, and the whole society looked down on us.

The simplest thing is, the point you tricked me about is the bank loan.

Although the current financing environment is difficult for private small and medium-sized enterprises, it is much better than before.

Your generation will face difficulties in the future, but they are not impossible.

We didn't have it at all at the beginning.

Going back ten years, banks would not lend us money at all. They only lent money to state-owned enterprises and did not even recognize collective enterprises. You acquired Haier Computer. Haier is famous enough, right? When they wanted to borrow money from the bank for refrigerators, Zhang Ruimin had to go to the local office meeting and cry, and only then did he get a loan of 80 yuan.

Wu Lujun loosened his tie, looked at Qingyun and shook his head, "So...how do I make art?

All I think about every day is how to survive.

Every day when I open my eyes, there are thousands of mouths to feed...

I started a business for wealth, and now I am already financially independent..."

As he said this, he chuckled, "Boss Xiaoqing, do you believe that I am the person who makes the most money in this industry?"

Qingyun nodded upon hearing this.

Xingtianxia Group...or Shenzhou Computer, to be frank, is indeed not very large in the industry.

But it is a private enterprise and the shares are highly concentrated.

Of every dollar it earned, 82 cents went to Lu Jun alone.

So, at this stage, Wu Lujun is the person who makes the most money in this industry.

Seeing that he understood, Wu Lujun said calmly, "For me, persisting is nothing more than giving an explanation to the people who follow me."

Qingyun understood this.

Xingtianxia Group attempted IPO four times, but all failed.

The fundamental reason is that Xingtianxia Group cannot explain the necessity of its listing.

Because according to the logic of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, you must have a need to raise funds when you go public.

And Wu Lujun, didn't have any...

During the same period, while Fantasy Computer's gross profit margin was only 9%, Xingtianxia's gross profit margin exceeded 15%.

The main reason he wants to go public is because of the distribution system.

If he doesn't go public, he needs to use real money to motivate his employees. If he goes public, he can replace most of the cash incentives with options and lock in real talent.

No one's money comes from the wind. The better the company's business, the more valuable the employee options will be. This is a mutually beneficial thing.

But Big A’s logic is not like this.

DaA believes that you must have investment projects to raise funds through listing.

If we follow the logic of ordinary bosses, it is nothing more than packaging a fundraising and investment project, or even simply going overseas to go public.

But no matter how much you disparage Wu Lujun, there is always one thing about him that is worth affirming.

He is loyal.

Be loyal to the country and the nation.

This is just a slogan and a character setting.

After four failed IPO attempts, Wu Lujun would rather not go public than go public overseas. He said he would rather die than let foreigners share his profits.

He dared to scold the local officials in front of him in public, saying that they were traitors to the country and used foreign electronic equipment. He even dared to directly fire employees who were unwilling to donate in the face of a disaster.

To be honest, it is shocking to hear such words from a boss of a technology company with a postgraduate degree.

In the face of other people's rebuttals and overwhelming slander in public opinion, Wu Lujun refused to admit his mistakes. He explained that he had been in the computer industry for so many years and had been bullied by foreign companies and felt very angry.

Looking at this man who has both good and bad reputations, Emperor Yun sighed, "So, you want to use the industrial park to collect rent?"

He also figured it out. This approach was in line with Wu Lujun's usual thinking.

Because he had a fight with Da Qiangzi in his previous life, Wu Lujun gradually became a landlord.

He built an industrial park covering hundreds of thousands of square meters and made money without doing anything.

"I never had any great ambitions. I was forced to get to where I am today."

At this time, Wu Lujun looked at Qingyun and smiled jokingly, "Believe it or not? I actually want to go back to the laboratory of Dongda University to do scientific research."

Emperor Yun blinked and nodded, "But your hand... hehe! It won't work."

Looking down at his slightly trembling hands, Wu Lujun smiled bitterly.

Parkinson's.

How can you lift a welding gun with hands like this?
Seeing this, Qing Yun also changed the subject, "To be honest, I also value your industrial park. I am in need of a factory."

The 9 square meters of existing factory buildings located in Pengcheng, with more than 20 square meters of expansion space, are more than sufficient to serve as a production center in South China.

Wu Lujun also understood this point.

After sighing, he looked at Qing Yun steadily, "Boss Xiao Qing, I can accept your 70% discount proposal for the company. I can rent the industrial park to you, and it's no problem to sign a contract for decades.

I'll give you 20% off the market price, follow the market, and increase it every five years. Is that good enough, brother?"

Qing Yun sneered upon hearing this and said unhappily, "Boss Wu, your abacus is quite impressive!"

Damn it, by locking in a lease for decades in one go, not only Wu Lujun can rest easy, but his son can too.

Wu Lujun raised his eyebrows at him and said, "Tell me honestly, is my plan reasonable or not?"

Qingyun looked at him with a constipated expression.

It’s hard to say that this plan is unreasonable.

only……

So I ended up working for him!
The landlord is amazing!

For Qing Yun, it is not impossible to conquer the world by killing everyone, but it is a lot of effort.

Because when it really comes to a situation where both sides are in danger, the local people in Pengcheng don't want to see this situation.

Unlike other companies, the industrial park of Xingtianxia Group, located in the core area of ​​Pengcheng Bantian Science and Technology City, has attracted too many enterprises and, together with the neighboring Huayi, has formed an industrial cluster.

It is impossible for Pengcheng not to save such an enterprise.

If he wanted to seize the world, he would have to pay huge interests in exchange, such as promising the local governments that the investment intensity would not be less than a certain amount, that the jobs and employment would not be less than a certain amount, and that the total annual profits and taxes would not be less than a certain amount...

By then, it will be troublesome to argue with each other.

Qing Yun, with a look of pain on his face, felt that the offensive and defensive momentum of the negotiations had shifted.

It would be better not to meet Wu Lujun!
