Courtyard No. 7. Vodtw

Du Anmin was still in the old habit of reading a book on the balcony with his glasses on.

Hearing the human voice, Du Anmin turned his head and took a look. When he saw Li Dong, Du Anmin nodded lightly, signaling Li Dong to wait for a while, and then continued to look down at the book.

Li Dong stared at him for a while, Du Anmin was very focused on reading, at this time Du Anmin was more like a scholar than an official.

Seeing Li Dong staring at her father, Shen Qian explained softly: "My dad has been used to this for many years, and he won't put down the book until he finishes reading an article."

Li Dong chuckled and said: "It's a good habit. If Secretary Du and I can focus on one thing like this, Yuanfang may develop better."

"Everyone has their own way, as long as you walk the right way, other people's way may not be suitable for you."

Shen Qian smiled and said, "Don't look, go and sit on the sofa."

Li Dong nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down. Aunt Wang, the nanny, wanted to pour tea for Li Dong. Seeing this, Shen Qian waved her hand and walked over to help make tea.

Aunt Wang had a look of strangeness in her eyes, and secretly glanced at Li Dong, but didn't dare to say anything, and went into the kitchen to start working on dinner.

Li Dong sat on the sofa, feeling a little bored.

Scanning around the living room, the No. 7 Courtyard has not changed from the last time I came here, it is still as solemn and deserted as ever.

While Li Dong was aiming randomly, the sliding door of the balcony opened.

Du Anmin walked over with a book in his hand, first nodded to Li Dong, and then Du Anmin handed the book to Li Dongdao: "I heard from Qianxi that you are also studying recently, and this book is for you."

Li Dong quickly got up and picked it up. What flashed on the cover was a long row of titles: A Study of the Nature and Causes of National Wealth.

Seeing Li Dong staring at the cover in a daze, Du Anmin smiled lightly: "This book has another name, which is more famous than this one. I think you should have heard of it."

"What?"

""Wealth of Nations"."

Li Dong nodded immediately and said, "I really don't know if Secretary Du doesn't say so. It turns out that this is the original name of "The Wealth of Nations". I've heard people discuss it before, but I haven't had time to read it."

“This book can still be read, and some of the viewpoints and experiences in it are very interesting.

Adam Smith believed that people's self-interest in economic life is the prerequisite for a market economy, and he also said that the power of a market economy rests with the people, not the government.

The task of the government is to maintain stability and protect the market economy from external forces...

Although I think some views are not suitable for China's national conditions, there are still some views that can be used for reference.

Just like this real estate industry crisis..."

Originally, Li Dong wondered why Du Anmin gave him a book, and said that the government should play a role in maintaining stability.

When Du Anmin mentioned the turmoil in the real estate industry, Li Dong immediately understood that this should be beating himself.

Li Dong said with some embarrassment: "Secretary Du, this is all about Xu Shengzhe..."

Du Anmin didn't speak, just stared at him.

Seeing this, Li Dong smiled wryly and said: "Well, I admit that I also participated. But you also said that "The Wealth of Nations" said that people's self-interest is the premise of economics, and commercial competition is like this.

Yuanfang and Longhua want to grow, and industry reshuffle is inevitable.

There are too many small real estate developers in Jiangbei, the management is chaotic, and the layout is scattered, which is not conducive to the development of the industry.

Doing real estate is different from other industries. It doesn’t mean that a hundred flowers bloom together. For the sake of short-term interests, small companies cut corners and shoddy...

These disadvantages are obvious, and small and medium-sized real estate companies lack funds and talents, so it is difficult to develop their own core technologies.

They do not have their own professional planning and design team, almost all projects are outsourced, lack of technological innovation, and lack of application of new technologies, new equipment, and new processes.

Whether it is design or product quality is worrying, in addition to hardware, software is also not good.

Let me give you an example,

If a small real estate company develops a community, their task is only to be responsible for the development. As for after-sales and property management, almost 99% of them choose to outsource.

It doesn't matter much within three or two years, but what about ten years from now? Twenty years later?

The community is aging, funds are lacking, property management companies have withdrawn, and small real estate companies have gone bankrupt. These unowned communities will become a burden on the government.

The big group is different. The best one in Jiangbei should be Longhua.

The residential area developed by Longhua, even if it was developed 20 years ago, if there is any water leakage or pipeline congestion in the owner's home, Longhua's property management company will come to deal with it immediately with a phone call.

Regardless of whether it's a new community or an old community, although I don't get along well with Longhua, I have to admit that the other party has done a good job in this, and Longhua is well-deserved to become the leader of Jiangbei's real estate industry. "

Li Dong said a lot, Du Anmin was calm at first, but later fell into deep thought.

I don't know how long it took before Du Anmin suddenly said, "What is your position on Yuanfang? The overlord in the retail industry? The rookie in the real estate industry? Or something else?"

Li Dong was a little dazed at first, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Does Secretary Du feel that Yuanfang's positioning is not clear? Wherever there is money, go wherever you have money, and ignore your own brand building."

"So you understand this yourself."

"Actually, I have considered this point a long time ago, but Yuanfang's current industrial layout does not conflict. Secretary Du may think that I am a hammer here and a stick here, but if you really pay attention to Yuanfang enough, you should be able to see something.

The distribution of industries in distant places is not chaotic.

Everything in the distance is mainly retail, supplemented by others.

The online shopping mall is just a business extension of Yuanfang Supermarket, while the logistics company is mainly for the integrity of Yuanfang's industrial chain, so that Yuanfang does not have to rely on others.

As for the real estate industry, to be honest, at the beginning I took a fancy to the prosperity of the domestic real estate industry, and I was ready to make a quick buck before leaving.

But then I thought about it, why did China Resources, Bailian and other large retail groups enter the real estate industry one after another?

There are also giant home appliance chain companies like Suning and Gome, why do they want to enter the real estate industry?

Is it really just because of real estate to make money?

There may be reasons for this, but this should not be the main reason.

In my opinion, various retail groups have entered into real estate one after another. There are two points. First, diversification and increase the survival rate of enterprises.

Second, integrate enterprise resources and reduce unnecessary expenses.

The most obvious point is that as housing prices rise, rents are also gradually increasing. For us retail companies, the higher and higher rents have made us overwhelmed.

I don't know about other companies, but here in the distance, rent expenses have already accounted for nearly one-third of the company's annual profits!

In this case, it is inevitable for retail companies to enter real estate.

Of course, when I say this, I don't rule out the hot property market. After all, everyone wants to get involved in a profitable business. Isn't this what the country wants to see? "

Du Anmin listened carefully, without interrupting Li Dong, and waited until he finished speaking before Du Anmin asked, "Is this the reason why you frequently caused waves in the property market in Pingchuan?"

Li Dong called Qu and said, "Secretary Du, why am I the one who caused the disturbance? At most I can be regarded as a coercion, and Long Hua is the mastermind."

"What about Greenland? I won't get involved in legitimate industry competition, but Greenland Kindergarten collapsed. Do you know how much impact this has had?"

"That was also written by Longhua! If you don't believe it, then ask Shen Qian. I am wronged. Longhua wants to dominate the family and occupy the living space in the distance. I bought the green land just to protect myself."

"The land in Nangang, West District is also for self-protection?" Du Anmin said indifferently.

Li Dong frowned slightly, and then said calmly: "Secretary Du also knows about this?"

"I didn't know before, but I'll know when the proposals for the West District and the High-tech Zone come up! No matter where you get the news, taking risks again and again to take advantage of the government is not a business. Home should do.

In other words, those who do this can only be called businessmen, not entrepreneurs.

I want you to be an entrepreneur, not a businessman with a lot of money, you know what I mean? "

"Yuanfang needs development! The Jiangbei government's support for Yuanfang has disappointed me! You can't just ask me to contribute without giving anything back. I dare say that the local government will never ignore Yuanfang if it moves to any place now!

An enterprise with tens of thousands of people pays more than one billion in annual tax. Is the Jiangbei government so chilling?

Yes, I am full of money, but I also earn money by my own ability. I, Li Dong, dare to pat my chest and say that I have never done anything illegal or tax evasion in business. !

With my own eyesight, I see business opportunities, can I see whether there is money to make or not?

..."

The two were able to talk calmly at the beginning, but later on, both of them became a little restless.

Seeing this, Shen Qian who had been paying attention at the side quickly interrupted: "Li Dong, why are you talking to my dad!"

Li Dong took a deep breath, glanced at Du Anmin, and said softly, "Sorry, Secretary Du, I lost my composure."

Du Anmin didn't speak, but touched his body. Seeing this, Li Dong quickly took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed him a cigarette.

Du Anmin took the cigarette, and Li Dong helped to light it. After taking a puff, Du Anmin exhaled and said, "Are you blaming me? The government's support for Yuanfang is stronger than you imagined. There is no Jiangbei government for you. Escort, do you really think Yuanfang can get to this point?

Didn't you feel it was too easy whether you Yuanfang was engaged in price wars with other companies, or Yuanfang invested in branches in other cities?

Li Dong, there are some things that the government does not have to say.

How could the Jiangbei government not support an industry like Yuanfang Supermarket?

All you can see is the amount of money, but why can't you see Jiangbei's financial difficulties?

Jiangbei is not just one company in your distant place, but thousands of companies and 60 million people!

The government supports you, and you can't take money from other people to support your development in distant places. You have to understand the government's difficulties. "

Li Dong remained silent, and Shen Qian coughed softly when she saw this, and said, "Dad, even if the government is in financial difficulties, it is always possible to introduce some support policies. The past two years have not been easy in the distance, and you have seen the financial difficulties.

Coupled with the development of the East China strategy of Yuanfang Supermarket and the layout of the real estate industry, we really can't sustain it now.

No matter how difficult the government is, it can't just watch it fall from a distance, right? "

Du Anmin gave her a blank look, and said with a broken smile, "Are you my daughter or the vice president from far away?"

Shen Qian said angrily: "Dad, don't change the subject as soon as I talk about business, okay? I'm serious, after all, there are so many people in the distance. We don't want what's not ours, but you can't hold back what you should have." Bar.

I don't know about other things, but last time the government subsidized leading enterprises absolutely less.

A subsidy of 5 million yuan is not afraid of being laughed at. I heard that the government originally planned to subsidize 50 million yuan, but someone later rejected this proposal, let alone you. "

"It's really not me." Du Anmin said a little aggrieved.

The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched when he saw this, old man, you are cruel!

Feelings and this matter, if Shen Qian hadn't talked about it now, he really wouldn't know.
