Chapter 920: Play Again "Seeking Monthly Votes"
The senior management holds a small-scale briefing meeting to communicate on the company's development issues so that problems can be discovered and solved.
So he started a video, contacted Davis, Wuzhi Xiaoji and Maximus, and mentioned this issue. "I'm going to have a meeting, what do you think?" Fan Wubing said. "It should be. We have never held such a large-scale high-level meeting. It would be good for everyone to meet." Wuzhi Xiaoji responded the fastest and immediately expressed his support. "I've been very busy recently," the old Jewish man Maximus said with a certain gesture.
"Then let's hold a meeting, but how many participants should be included in the meeting?" Davis was more pragmatic and asked this beautiful question directly.
"Tentatively decide on the senior management of each company, depending on the company's management scale, more than ten people, less than one or two people, you can come up with the plan yourself, the people at the headquarters will arrange it carefully, and then let me take a look at the draft. Fan Wubing said. Dai Xiang{! Si agreed, and within two minutes he took out the list and sent it to Fan Wubing from the Internet. So fast? "Fan Wubing was surprised.
"Actually, the headquarters has done a similar arrangement exercise, and there are corresponding lists. Now we just adjust it according to the proportion you requested. About, oh, there are five hundred people attending the meeting." Davis replied. "Five hundred people?! Is that too much?" Fan Wubing was immediately startled.
Are there so many people just at the top of the company? I really haven't paid too much attention to these things. "Executives from overseas companies are not included yet," Davis replied. "In that case, let's have a meeting the day after tomorrow." Fan Wubing decided after thinking for a while.
Although the companies under Fan Investment Group are spread across the country, since the current transportation situation is very convenient, Fan Wubing is not worried that someone will not be able to catch up with the meeting the day after tomorrow. In fact, a meeting like this is just a video meeting or The briefing meeting is relatively pragmatic, but from the perspective of the overall situation, it is very important. At least it can let everyone understand the current economic situation and the issues that each of them needs to pay attention to, or it can also raise issues that hinder development on the spot. problems and get solutions.
After arranging things here, Sheng Weiyou, a beautiful reporter from "Oriental News Interview", contacted him and said that she would do an exclusive interview and treat him to a meal by the way.
Fan Wubing looked at his time schedule and saw that there was indeed nothing to do, so he agreed. However, due to lack of exercise recently, his appetite was average, so he asked her to spend a day in Hangzhou and interview her by the way.
The West Lake at the end of March is still pretty good. No wonder even the legend of White Snake sings about the beautiful scenery of West Lake in March, and it is so.
Fan Wubing rented a relatively large boat and floated it on the West Lake. On the large boat, they were just the two guests. They cooked rice wine on the bamboo table and served some exquisite side dishes while chatting. It's quite pleasant to drink while drinking.
Shengwei mainly interviewed Fan Wubing about the overall economic situation. In fact, after problems occurred in the new economy in the United States, that is, after the Nasdaq market continued to fall, the country was full of doubts about the prospects of the new economy. In this Under the circumstances, Sheng Wei planned to ask Fan Wubing to talk about this matter.
"First of all, you have to understand one thing, which is the life cycle of the product." Fan Wubing told Sheng Wei, "The so-called product life cycle, the first stage is called innovation, which is basically in the United States; the second stage is the development stage, which is basically In Germany and Japan, the third stage is the saturation stage, which ends in China. The characteristics of the saturation stage are to reduce costs and expand the market. It happens that China’s labor force is cheap, land prices are also cheap, and environmental protection costs are not borne by enterprises. It takes advantage of China. Various low-cost production factors,
Only in this way can the cost be kept very low. This kind of product relies on price reduction, which is the third stage of the product life cycle. "
“The saturation period is followed by a recession period, in which prices are significantly reduced to only cover the current costs. The price drops below the cost, but the fixed assets have been depreciated. If the price is higher than the current cost, production and sales can still be made. This is called the recession period. The world's investment is actually based on the product life cycle. Therefore, China's economic growth in the past two decades has mainly relied on the U.S. market and industries in the saturation period, which are the so-called fifth-rate enterprises. Fifth-rate enterprises just sell cheap goods. Possibly long-term.”
"What are the fourth-rate companies competing for? The fourth-rate companies compete for quality, which means that your stuff is okay. The third-rate companies compete for services, the second-rate companies compete for brands, and the first-rate companies compete for standards." Fan Wubing said to Sheng Xiu, "Then I will spend the whole day What are we fighting for? What I am fighting for is the right to speak! In fact, the core issue is that we Chinese have finally realized that the core issue of truly establishing hegemony or leadership is the issue of the right to speak, which is not material power but spiritual power. The core is the right to speak. “The quality of people is different, and the division of labor in enterprises is also different. The first-in-command relies on inspiration, genius and adventure, while the second- and third-in-command are scientists and experts who engage in feasibility studies, technology, finance, and personnel management. Their feasibility report has screened most of them, and there are only two or three plans left for the top leader to decide. The top leader can no longer rely on reason and science, because at this time, rationality has been exhausted. The final choice often relies on the personal qualities, experience, feelings, preferences, and brains of the top leader, and has little to do with science or production. Fan Wubing told Sheng Wei, "The corporate system is the same as before in terms of investment decision-making. What I value is the personal quality of the entrepreneur." No matter what the system is, his personal judgment plays a decisive role. If the system is decisive, what else do entrepreneurs need to do? When mathematicians engage in economics, it becomes a planned economy. Marx's ideal is to create a social calculation center to calculate the value of labor and replace the blindness and anarchism of the market economy. Stalin's planned economic model relied on input-output tables and produced a large number of mathematicians. In today’s market economy, mainstream people use so many mathematical models to scare people. Who are they trying to scare? Want to use mathematics to exhaust the market? Uncertainty can never be exhausted! The second-in-command can do the math, and the first-in-command can pat the head. As for the shape of the head, I don’t know if it’s right or not. In fact, you don’t know if it’s right or not. If it doesn’t work out, just draw lots. "
"Uncertainty is the market economy. Can it be calculated using mathematics? The planned economy can be calculated, and it can only be calculated to a basic ratio. It is called planned and proportional development. It is okay to engage in primitive accumulation in this system. At that time, the economy was relatively simple and consisted of heavy industry. Once accumulation was completed, it would inevitably transform into a market economy. Eventually, economic activities became complicated and human rationality and calculation could no longer be controlled. "So, you are asking now. In fact, I am not sure what the world economy will be like in the future. Even if I say it, it is just a simple inference. As for whether it is correct or not, it is God’s arrangement. Any uncertain factor may lead to A real transformation.”
"It's really good. It can be included in the textbook." Sheng Mi drank a little rice wine and felt that it was a bit relaxing, but her mind was very active, and her slender fingers kept tapping on the keyboard of the laptop. , and wrote down Fan Wubing’s words.
"There is a net outflow of capital from China, because domestic savings are greater than investment!$, and there is no net inflow of capital. Our exports have been greater than our imports for so many years, and it is difficult to have a trade deficit. But the United States has a constant inflow, because it has no savings. How much capital has flowed out of China? ? Unless gold and oil can be stored domestically, other foreign exchange reserves are actually held abroad. There are also corporate foreign exchange deposits, personal foreign exchange deposits, and black ruthenium. These three plus one are definitely not a few, and they are all net capital outflows. "Under such circumstances, the government can naturally launch domestic demand on a large scale, launch large projects, and launch railways, highways, and petrochemical industries at the right time," Fan Wubing added. "So do you think the U.S. economy will decline this time?" Sheng Min asked.
"How is it possible? The Americans have kidnapped everyone in the world." Fan Wubing replied with a smile. "When has the United States ever engaged in economic austerity? The U.S. economy has cycles, and the stock market rises during the rising cycle. The Democratic Party comes to take away freedoms and human rights. Democracy, Nasdaq speculates on concepts and the Internet. This is American idealism. They often speculate on any ideas, such as Star Wars, future robots, and the stock market. The speculation makes everyone very happy and they buy houses.
When the economy declines, the Republican hawks rise up and go out to fight a war, stimulate military spending, raise daytime oil prices, and affect China, Europe, and Japan. Once it fights a war, it will occupy a little more territory, and the arms dealer will make a fortune. "Sheng Wei Wenyan also laughed and continued to type and take notes on the laptop.
"This is discourse hegemony. Americans do one thing themselves and ask others to do another thing. After World War II, Americans supervised Japan. As a result, Japan's economy declined sharply, and a large number of workers lost their jobs. The Japanese economy suddenly It collapsed. Later, Japan was saved when the Korean War started. Japan worked as a logistics provider for the U.S. military and earned the Pentagon several billion dollars in three years. What happened to the war? War stimulates the economy. Once the cannon fires, there will be ten thousand taels of gold." Fan Wubing drank twice as much, and immediately lost interest. He couldn't help but say a few more words, "So, I think the Americans will definitely go to war in the next two years. , because of economic needs!”
"Really?" Sheng Wei was surprised.
"According to my inference, if we want to fight, we must fight Iraq!" Fan Wubing said openly. "Why?" Sheng Wei asked. "Because they have oil, and they have already done it once, so naturally they don't mind doing it again." Fan Wubing replied.
