The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 337, Three-digit Era (asking for monthly votes)

In September 1967, in Washington, the White House suddenly became chaotic, just because something happened to the owner of this castle.

Those who attended the meeting at that time included Hubert Humphrey, Lundberg, Douglas Dillon, Will Adaline, Jimmie Malu, Dean Rusk, Brewster, etc. They were all staff members or heads of departments.

Everyone witnessed Lyndon Johnson falling so suddenly that almost no one reacted.

Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908 and is only fifty-nine years old this year. Although he has heart disease, it is not that serious.

No one expected him to be so sudden.

Soon, the doctor reported the news: Lyndon Johnson had passed away due to a sudden acute myocardial infarction.

Almost instantly, everyone was collectively stunned, because no one expected that Lyndon Johnson would leave so suddenly.

Lundberg looked at Hubert Humphrey for the first time, and then said:
"Mr. Humphrey, although I am very sad now, but from now on, I should congratulate you."

Douglas Dillon, Dean Rusk, Robert Van de Graaff and others all reacted. They all looked at Hubert Humphrey for a moment, and their mouths were filled with words of congratulations.

How similar is this scene?
Five years ago, in 1962, Kennedy was killed suddenly, and then Lyndon Johnson, the deputy squad president at the time, successfully took over.

Now, when Lyndon Johnson is in office, he was just discussing the matter of campaigning for Hubert Humphrey in next year's election, but the former soon received his lunch box.

too suddenly!

Even after Robert van de Graaf and the others finished congratulating them, Hubert Humphrey still hadn't reacted.

I really couldn't calm down. After all, who doesn't want to sit in that seat?

In the following days, the White House became even busier.

On the other hand, there was the matter of Lyndon Johnson’s funeral. Hubert Humphrey had a relationship with him as both a teacher and a friend, and he had always respected him very much, so this funeral matter must be handled well.

On the other side were Lyndon Johnson's supporters, who were worried about some conspiracy and were very dissatisfied and hated Hubert Humphrey.

In particular, Lyndon Johnson's family was extremely sad and no longer as harmonious and friendly toward Hubert Humphrey as before.

Hubert Humphrey was also very busy because of this. He had many things to do, and he had to be sworn in before the justice, and there were many other things waiting for him to deal with.

In New York, Lannister Morgan and others also received the news about what happened in Washington immediately, and they were all surprised.

"Fake, isn't someone causing trouble? But this Texas guy died a good death, haha."

Lannister Morgan smiled broadly because Lyndon Johnson was a member of the conservative Southern faction, and to them Northeastern radicals, that was the enemy.

What's more, today is the era of big squad leaders and small consortiums. Although Lyndon Johnson was a person without political principles, suppressing consortiums was almost the mission that all previous squad leaders adhered to.

"It is true that he died very suddenly, but Hubert had a very good relationship with Lyndon Johnson. Logically speaking, he should not have done anything."

Feng Delian on the side frowned and analyzed:
"So I believe the cause of death caused by acute myocardial infarction mentioned in the intelligence."

"How they fight has little to do with us. Now that the new one is Hubert Humphrey, I'm afraid there will be surprises in next year's election."

Geinhard echoed, and Holcafferty immediately said:
"Yes, it seems that in next year's general election, we should also keep our eyes open and see clearly, and don't bet on the wrong thing again."

In fact, no matter who ascends to the position of monitor, suppressing the financial industry is almost a foregone conclusion.

In the past ten years or so, the banking industry has developed rapidly and capital has influenced national policies, which has already aroused strong dissatisfaction among people like the squad leader.

It can be said that the conflict between capital and the squad leader has increasingly intensified.

Nowadays, there is no saying that the squad leader serves capital. The squad leader in this era is more about serving the collective and working hard for the whole people.

"Haha, what does it matter if we can't find the wrong treasure? The most we can do is to make the squad leader stop staring at our financial industry. Or can we just make them ignore us and let us do whatever we want?"

Paredson also said something, his expression full of disdain.

Geinhardt shook his head. Is the banking industry ruthless? Needless to say?
It can almost be said that the North American banking industry has passed the stage of barbaric growth. The current stage is characterized by various mergers and acquisitions, development and expansion, mainly large scale, spanning multiple businesses, and becoming a big fat man.

Only in this way can we have more and stronger competitiveness.

"Speaking of which, we have been tired of dealing with the pressure and troubles put on us by the Adams family and the Kennedy family some time ago. We have forgotten about the troubles caused by Qianduoduo Supermarket. We don't know what is going on with this supermarket now."

Lannister Morgan suddenly brought the topic back, and everyone's expressions were slightly startled, and then they laughed and shook their heads.

It seems that Lannister is still very interested in this unobtained cake.

So Feng Delian asked someone to come in and talk about the information about Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Soon someone walked into the room and reported the situation at Qianduoduo Supermarket.

Lannister and the others were all speechless when they learned that Qianduoduo Supermarket had spent all the billion dollars from the loan on acquiring farms and processing plants.

If it is used to develop Qianduoduo Supermarket stores, then they can understand.

But for the acquisition of farms and processing plants, they even heard that Qianduoduo Supermarket signed a fifteen-year corn purchase contract with Archer Daniels Midland Company, a grain giant, which was a complete failure.

"Farke, a good company, was ruined by them and is hopeless!"

Lannister Morgan suddenly felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Comparing Qianduoduo Supermarket to a delicious cake, then the actions of acquiring farms are equivalent to adding cow dung and pig feces on top of the cake. It is really disgusting.

That's why Lannister Morgan is so angry and angry.

But what about anger?

That's other people's money, and they can do whatever they want with it.

Qianduoduo Supermarket is completely in ruins, and its development direction is completely incomprehensible.

After all, there is so much corn and so much grain. What sales skills do they have to be able to sell all this corn under the hood?

There are 1.5 million tons of corn every year. Just thinking about it makes people’s scalp numb.

It's not just the Lannister who can't figure it out, even Calbryan, Firstenberg, Jean Yaakov, and Mevlut can't figure it out at all.

However, even if they can't figure it out, it's useless, they just need to execute it.

After the Bristol Pharmaceutical Company of the University of Cambridge in London successfully applied for patents on the sweetener high fructose corn syrup around the world, Chen Yuanchao followed his uncle's orders and plans and started taking action.

Sweeteners do not need to be added in large amounts, but the cost is so low that they can completely replace sucrose, reducing the cost of most foods in Qianduoduo supermarkets that require added sugar.

For example, burgers, Happy Fat Home Water, chocolate, etc.

This is why it is necessary to acquire processing plants, because most foods can be self-branded, which can reduce a lot of costs and increase profit margins.

"BOSS, what are these?"

In the conference room, Carl Bryan and the others looked at the information that Chen Yuanchao brought out, looking puzzled.

"This is a sweetener patent authorization letter. We can obtain the corresponding patent authorization, and the processing plant we acquired before can produce various self-branded foods."

Chen Yuanchao briefly explained it, but Carl Bryan and the others still didn't understand.

They were pleasantly surprised until they saw the cost of high-fructose corn syrup sweetener drop by one-third in seconds.

Reduce costs by one-third. How big a profit will this be?
Sugar that originally cost one dollar now only costs thirty-three cents. After that, they can earn sixty-seven cents, which is a very high profit.

Mevlut exclaimed, then picked up paper and pen and began to count the foods that could be added with sweeteners and made a list.

Snacks such as gummy corn, White Rabbit candies, chocolate, cowboy candies, etc. These are some of the types of foods that can add a lot of sugar.

In addition, there are croissants, corn cereal, fruit cereal, ice cream, milk drinks, etc. These are the areas hardest hit by sugar, especially bread, which is definitely the hardest hit area.

The reason why Chen Guohua became a fat man in his previous life was because his wife was too lazy to get up early to buy breakfast after marriage, so she usually bought bread early the night before.

Bread is extremely high in sugar, which can easily lead to obesity.

Therefore, Mevlut immediately made a list of many foods that could replace sucrose. The more he went down the list, the more excited he became.

Because this means that more and more food costs can be reduced a lot.

Reducing costs means increasing profits, and increasing profits means Qianduoduo Supermarket can make more money and expand faster.

Following Mevlut's movements, even Carl Brian and the others couldn't help but start to take action.

Looking at the excited crowd, Chen Yuanchao smiled slightly and admired his brother-in-law even more.

His brother-in-law's foresight and planning were truly unparalleled and invincible.

The emergence of sweeteners can be said to have given Qianduoduo Supermarket wings to take off.

Without the complete knowledge of competitors such as Wal-Mart Supermarket, Macy's, and Sears, Qianduoduo Supermarket quietly used the sweetener as a nuclear weapon to earn a lot of profits.

Originally, food was not profitable, and it even cost a lot of money.

Nowadays, it has become the most profitable category of Qianduoduo Supermarket, and the prices of some foods can even be reduced even more during discount promotions.

The main reason is that now Qianduoduo Supermarket has its own farms and processing plants, and the profits of the upstream industrial chain have also been taken away by Qianduoduo Supermarket.

This part of the profit can also be passed on to consumers, so other competitors will be dumbfounded.

After all, with one-stop service, the cost is lower.

In the most prosperous street in New York, Qianduoduo Supermarket, Jessica once again took her daughter with her to buy food for her family.

Coming to the cereal area, there are many different brands of cereal. This is one of their favorite foods in North America because they are simple and can be brewed and eaten directly.

"Hey, the supermarket's own brand cereal? The price is only two-thirds of other brands? So cheap? The weight is actually 100 grams more?"

When Jessica saw a row of Qianduoduo Supermarket's self-operated cereal brands displayed in a very conspicuous position on the shelf, the prices above made her very excited.

Many consumers who enter Qianduoduo Supermarket do so because of its high quality and low price, not anything else.

And Jessica is such a person, all for cheap, so she is very price sensitive.

However, she also has high requirements for brand and quality, so she also picked up the cereal with doubts to check and confirm the quality of this product.

In the product details on the back of the cereal, it is stated that this product comes from the farm operated by Qianduoduo Supermarket.

This alone reminded Jessica of the news reports she had seen before, and she couldn't help but nod.

A company that can spend a billion dollars to acquire farms and processing plants just to run its own brand and control product quality is definitely a very responsible company.

So Jessica put this cereal in the shopping cart after checking the detailed ingredient list and origin of the cereal.

She needs to try the product first, and if it's good, switch to it in the future.

During the subsequent stroll, Jessica was even more surprised because milk, snacks, bread and other related products were all self-operated brands of Qianduoduo Supermarket, and the prices were much cheaper than other products.

An exciting price alone is enough to make these self-branded products the best-selling products in supermarkets.

The turnover of supermarkets is increasing, and so is the profit margin. It used to be around 2.5% per thousand, but now it has risen to 2.1%.

This is a huge improvement.

However, Chen Yuanchao gave everyone an order to keep this information confidential and not to leak the information.

In particular, the senior management and finance departments need to do a good job of confidentiality and cannot let the outside world know that the profit margin of Qianduoduo Supermarket is increasing.

If a super weapon like sweetener can be known to people later, then it will be later.

While Chen Yuanchao was quietly busy making money, here in California, Richard Milhouse was frowning.

Richard Milhouse has a lot of ideas for next year's general election and is very confident.

As a former deputy squad president and a two-term deputy squad president, Richard Milhouse really wanted to reach the position of squad leader, so during this period, he had been running for it.

Even before that, he had been preparing.

"Henry, Charles, Moore, William, you are studying it carefully to see what we should use as our campaign platform."

In a small conference room, Richard Milhouse summoned a group of his friends to discuss next year's election.

The current situation is not very good for him, just because one of his competitors, Hubert Humphrey, had successfully picked up the slack some time ago and became the squad leader from the deputy squad leader.

As a person who also served as deputy monitor, Richard Milhouse looked down upon Hubert Humphrey's behavior of picking up leaks, but he also envied him very much.

Who doesn't like the naked act of lying flat on your back while sitting on that position?

In such a complicated mood, Richard Milhouse is also very worried about the current ecology of North America.

The current background of North America is that the entire country has almost fallen into a state of confrontation and division.

why?

Just because the Haizhou City War is still in the quagmire, North America has no way to deal with those Haizhou City monkeys. Even though California has very powerful advanced technologies every once in a while, such as the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, etc., it still cannot What a threat it can pose to those monkeys.

The second is the various social unrest caused by national policies, such as the various documents, orders, and policies signed by Lyndon Johnson, which greatly restricted the development of the financial industry, especially its monopoly behavior.

From the 1950s to the present, the North American banking industry has experienced crazy and barbaric growth, the merger and acquisition crisis of the century and other major waves, which have caused a lot of various financial and social problems.

In the center of New York City, a considerable part of the increasing number of unemployed people is actually caused by the financial industry.

Finance is a very complex and diversified field that is closely related to policy, economy, technology, enterprises, consumers, etc., and is constantly developing and changing.

According to Marx's labor theory of value, only productive labor can create wealth. Even the service industry cannot create wealth, let alone the financial industry.

An industry that cannot create wealth for society, even though it can play a vital role in the social economy, is not liked by people like the monitor.

Especially when the financial industry shows great aggression and aggression, which greatly disrupts the national economy, that is when people like the squad leader take action.

The third is that the problem of counter-riots and assassinations is extremely serious and common.

I won’t talk about the riots, because they are the most abnormal part of the dark political ecology, and the problem of assassinations is also very obvious, such as the previous Kennedy incident.

It can be said that the Kennedy incident was an assassination that shocked the world and exposed the ugly face of politics. Not many people know the danger, cruelty and darkness behind it.

It is precisely because of this that many problems have arisen in North American society as a whole.

What a mess!
"Richard, I think we should unite most of the people internally. Only in this way can we defeat other competitors in the election, especially Hubert Humphrey."

Henry Curtis was the first to speak, and the argument quickly gained unanimous approval.

There is no doubt that Richard Milhouse's biggest rival today is Hubert Humphrey.

Although Lyndon Johnson's own approval ratings were low, he had little political resources to give Hubert Humphrey more support.

But now that Hubert Humphrey has reached that position, he will definitely be able to make full use of this time to add more campaign resources to himself.

That's why Henry Curtis suggested this.

What's more, this suggestion is also based on the current reality in North America. It is a suggestion that is very consistent with the reality of North America.

"What about externally?"

Richard Milhouse asked thoughtfully.

In fact, he already has the answer in his heart. He can unite internally. Only by uniting most of the forces can he defeat others. However, the entire campaign cannot have only one internal strategy. There must also be an external strategy, and these strategies must have practical and feasible policies.

Especially the issue of Haizhou City should be treated with caution.

Why?

Lyndon Johnson strongly supports launching a war against Haizhou City. Otherwise, he would not still choose to increase troops when North America has fallen into the quagmire of Haizhou City.

If Richard Milhouse had supported the Haizhou City War like Lyndon Johnson during the election campaign, he would most likely not have been able to successfully take office.

In the past two years, as the war has deepened, more and more soldiers have been buried in foreign lands.

This has also led to strong anti-war protests among people in North America. For example, anti-war demonstrations in New York and San Francisco have attracted more than 400,000 people.

There are also more than ten members of Congress who strongly oppose the war in Haizhou City.

This is the reality. The will of the people is to stop the war.

So if Richard Milhouse caters to the will of the people, will he definitely be elected?

not necessarily!

Just because in this country where capital is everywhere, if the wishes and ideas of capital are not considered at all, then Richard Milhouse will not be able to become the monitor.

There are a large number of companies here in California that survive based on the Haizhou City War. If the war ceases, they will lose their jobs.

Whenever Richard Milhouse chooses to cease the war, he is bound to offend these people and the related capital behind them.

Based on this, Richard Milhouse must consider everything carefully when choosing campaign themes and domestic and foreign policies.

And he himself naturally supports the war in Haizhou City, but he must consider the will of the people and balance the relationship between capital and ordinary people.

Therefore, Richard Milhouse prepared two strategic plans.

The first policy is to actively seek a peaceful solution to the Haizhou City issue through negotiation while maintaining strong military pressure on Haizhou City.

The second policy is to strive to expand the bombing range while withdrawing troops from Haizhou City, and even achieve the goal of invading these countries.

This is his own idea, and he has not yet discussed it with Henry Curtis and Charles Agard.

"Everyone may have discovered the fact that our economic development in North America has almost reached a bottleneck, especially agricultural development."

At this time, Henry Curtis mentioned social problems in agricultural economy, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After World War II, not only the banking industry ushered in great development opportunities, but also North American agriculture.

However, compared with the booming development of the banking industry, which has never reached a state of stagnation, the agricultural aspect is a bit elusive.

Mainly due to the increase in productivity, the output in all aspects has been astonishing, but it has also caused a problem of slow sales.

In order to avoid the phenomenon of milk dumping, Lyndon Johnson and others even used government money to subsidize these milk companies to help them tide over the difficulties.

Therefore, the milk purchased by the government can only be sold to schools and donated to welfare institutions and other related institutions for consumption.

Many primary and secondary school students must drink three large glasses of milk every day, and the benefits of drinking more milk are promoted on TV and newspapers.

Capital is indeed everywhere!
However, even so, greedy capital continues to expand, and its appetite is also expanding.

The unemployment rate is even used to threaten the government to provide more subsidies. Otherwise, the number of unemployed people in big cities such as New York will increase.

These are extremely real social problems and problems that need to be solved urgently.

"Since we have so much food, why not use it as a weapon instead of a burden?"

When Henry Curtis opened his mouth, he was shocked.

By replacing the crisis and disadvantage of overproduction of food with the word "weapon", it immediately rose to a higher level and turned this disadvantage into an advantage.

Richard Milhouse's brain exploded. He suddenly thought of Qianduoduo Supermarket and Chen Yuanchao, a Chinese genius boy.

Qianduoduo Supermarket implements a low-price strategy, making small profits but quick turnover. This strategy is also of great reference significance in the external sales of grain.

In addition, can Chen Yuanchao, a Chinese teenager, help sell food from North America to the East?
Although Richard Milhouse doesn't know why he thought of this, there is no doubt that this is indeed a very good direction.

Therefore, after Richard Milhouse and the others concluded the meeting, they immediately found the food giants and discussed foreign strategies with these capitals in order to gain the support of these people.

Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge and Cargill, the three North American grain giants, have many farmers and workers, which means they have a lot of votes.

If these people can be dealt with, it will indeed increase Richard Milhouse's success rate in next year's election.

After discussing with these capitals, the Richard Milhouse team contacted Chen Yuanchao non-stop, hoping that the latter could help.

Far away in the capital, Chen Guohua was somewhat surprised when he heard about the application from Richard Milhouse's team.

Chen Guohua had already heard about what happened in Washington some time ago.

Assassinations exist everywhere in North America, but Chen Guohua believes that there are traces of Lyndon Johnson's acute myocardial infarction.

At least in the history of the original time and space, Lyndon Johnson died of acute myocardial infarction three or four years later while enjoying his retirement life leisurely on his own farm. When he died, he was only in his sixties. Just years old.

Therefore, Lyndon Johnson was actually a short-lived ghost.

Of course, a short life is a short life. The news of his death suddenly broke out at this juncture at the end of 1967, which was really shocking.

The outside world is naturally talking about this, and it has exposed the dark and extremely abnormal ecology of North America.

"Have a good talk with them and get more benefits!"

After Chen Guohua pondered for a while, he immediately gave his eldest nephew such an instruction.

The mainland definitely needs a lot of food, so no matter what, as a middleman, Chen Yuanchao can bring many hidden benefits to Qianduoduo Supermarket with just an introduction.

What's more, Chen Guohua knew very well that Richard Milhouse was very likely to succeed in taking office.

Although in this era, Hubert Humphrey has successfully reached the position of monitor, unexpected events have occurred, and he may be able to obtain more resources.

But who can say for sure?
"Okay, uncle, I understand."

"Well, how is the development of Qianduoduo Supermarket now?"

After talking about Richard Milhouse, Chen Guohua turned his attention to Qianduoduo Supermarket.

He did not reveal more about Richard Milhouse to his eldest nephew, after all, no one could say for sure.

Besides, he is not a magician, so he does not need to reveal this information in advance to prove anything.

This time and space has been greatly different from the original time and space, but the correction of history seems to have moved it back to its original normal trajectory.

"Uncle, Qianduoduo Supermarket is developing well now. After profits increase, our daily profit margin has soared to 2.1%."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yuanchao reported the current status of Qianduoduo Supermarket very respectfully.

Since the previous incident in August, the Morgan consortium and others have been besieging and pursuing Qianduoduo supermarkets, resulting in only two Qianduoduo supermarkets opening in the next month or so.

In other words, Qianduoduo Supermarket currently has only 80 stores in total.

After reopening, Qianduoduo Supermarket's average daily revenue per store exceeded US$1.8 million.

After high-fructose corn syrup, a cheap sweetener, was launched, the average daily revenue per store exceeded US$2 million, reaching US$2.17 million.

Based on a profit margin of 2.1%, the average daily profit of each store is US$45,500.

There are a total of 80 stores, which means that Qianduoduo Supermarket can earn 3.64 million U.S. dollars every day, and 1.093 billion U.S. dollars a month.

Incomparably powerful earning power!

Although the profitability is still far behind that of Costco Supermarket, Qianduoduo Supermarket has greater prospects.

The limitation of Costco Supermarket is very obvious, that is, it requires someone to open a membership card, and the $199 membership card has blocked many people.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Costco Supermarkets can only have one or two supermarkets in a city, not too many.

On the contrary, Qianduoduo Supermarket can copy and paste unlimitedly and open thousands of stores in North America without any problems at all.

After learning about the situation of Qianduoduo Supermarket, Chen Guohua was relieved, but also somewhat worried.

There are too many monsters in the continent of North America.

If they were just white-glove business managers like Chen Yuanchao and Zheng Zhigui, it would be difficult for them to develop well in the North American continent.

Chen Guohua is not just protecting these white glove companies, but also for himself.

Although he now has a high status in the mainland, it stands to reason that he should be very relaxed.

But the higher you are in a high position, the more miserable you become.

Many times, the tide of the times, the eyes of the world, the temptation of fame and fortune, the expectations of his family, etc., are all reasons that force Chen Guohua to move forward bravely.

There is a saying that goes back before you stop, and it couldn’t be more appropriate to apply it here.

Take the previous moon landing and space station projects as an example. Isn’t Chen Guohua’s status high enough? His scientific research strength is strong enough, right?

But even so, Qian Xuesen, Sun Jiadong, Lu Yuanjiu, Pan Houren and others did not support him, but instead supported the moon landing plan.

Is it better to say that they cannot see through or understand the space station project?
of course not.

That being the case, why did they still choose the moon landing plan?

In addition to practical needs, it is more about the needs of leaders and everyone’s needs.

The needs of leaders are easy to understand. After all, this is a good opportunity to leave a name in history. No matter whether you are a saint or a mortal, you are not exempt from the common deeds.

And everyone's needs are the wishes of ordinary people and Qian Xuesen's own needs for fame and fortune.

Chen Guohua knew that Qian Xuesen and other scientific researchers were actually very ordinary and very discerning in their pursuit of fame and fortune.

After all, if they were really pursuing fame and fortune, then staying in North America would have been the best choice.

Therefore, like Qian Xuesen and others, Chen Guohua is forced or takes the initiative to make himself move forward. This is why he has been eyeing the development of white glove companies such as Qianduoduo Supermarket and Costco Supermarket.

Because the mainland needs funds very much, and the development of Zhenhua Research Institute also needs funds. If we rely solely on China Resources to earn foreign exchange, there is no doubt that this is a very stupid behavior.

Children can understand that eggs cannot be placed in only one basket, but Chen Guohua does not understand.

In fact, all the research and development funds of Zhenhua Research Institute can be applied to above, but Chen Guohua knows very well that many scientific research projects of Zhenhua Research Institute are all gold-eating behemoths.

If one of the projects is difficult to carry out smoothly, it will inevitably disrupt his plans and involve more time and energy.

Therefore, he must make more money for the country's purse so that Zhenhua Research Institute can obtain more scientific research funds.

There is a saying that asking grandpa to sue grandma is not as good as asking yourself.

Therefore, Zhenhua Research Institute has made its development path and plan very clear since its establishment. This is a basic principle that cannot be changed.

Relying too much on the above is not a good development state.

Of course, Chen Guohua knew very well that in the history of the original time and space, after the reform, there was a saying that those who made atomic bombs were not as good as those who sold tea eggs.

This sentence already explains the problem very well.

Furthermore, the economic base determines the superstructure.

Many famous quotes have already illustrated the fact that you can’t do anything without money!
Even within a family, the party that can make money and bring more benefits to the family has a significantly higher status.

After finishing the chat with his eldest nephew, Chen Guohua was about to take a rest and continue working when Qiu Zongyue came outside the door.

Chen Guohua has quite complicated feelings about this direct leader whom he has known for many years.

The other party protects him a lot of the time, but also questions him a lot of the time. It seems that the leader is not willing to just be a mouthpiece.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Qiu Zongyue is a leader, but he is not Sage Kong, not to mention that even Sage Kong has the ambition of fame and fortune.

So it's normal for Qiu Zongyue to have his own ideas and want to do something.

"Guohua, you're not busy, are you?"

Qiu Zongyue walked into the office with a smile on his face, and Chen Guohua knew that this was probably not a good thing.

"Let me tell you about the current sales data after the price reduction strategy of China Resources was announced some time ago. Hey, you can never imagine how crazy these foreigners are."

Hearing this, Chen Guohua smiled, already understanding what the other party was going to say.

The thing is, it is now September 1967, and it is about to be the time for China Resources to release new products.

But no one expected that before the new product was about to be released, China Resources made a false shot and directly started a price reduction frenzy.

There are many products that have been reduced in price this time, and most of them have been reduced to the cost price of similar or related foreign products, which makes foreigners anxious.

For example, electronic watches have long been available in foreign countries, and there are many of them.

A year ago, in September 2006, the electronic watch sold by China Resources Company had a wholesale price of US$69 and a retail price of US$79.

As a result, the wholesale price is now only nine US dollars, and the retail price is only fifteen US dollars.

The price is so low that it’s simply jaw-dropping.

The price has suddenly dropped to such a terrifying level, how can we still play it?

Therefore, foreign electronic watch companies are wailing.

On the contrary, the agents of China Resources were so happy that they placed orders directly. They all arranged for the fastest delivery speed and wanted to quickly seize the market.

Low price means small profits but quick turnover.

The Qianduoduo supermarket model is no longer unfamiliar to many agents.

In addition to electronic watches, prices have also dropped sharply on computers.

This is the new product of Huashuo Computer released in March 1964. This product was originally scheduled to have a wholesale price of US$8,999 and a retail price of US$9,999.

Now the wholesale price does not need to be US$8,999, but only US$8,999, and the retail price is only US$9,999.

This price cut also means that computers have entered the three-digit era.

In the 1960s, computers were still one of the representatives of luxury goods, but China Resources took the initiative to cut prices, which directly caused shock and pain to many North American computer companies such as IBM.

The entire computer market has experienced a violent earthquake, just because of the three-nine-price Huashuo computer. Although it was a product three years ago, the price is still very good.

In just three years, the price dropped from close to five digits to three digits. What a terrifying speed of price reduction.

As China Resources' new products are about to be released, everyone still needs to face a new round of product impact.

Poor old man!
