Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1106 TV Shopping
The premiere of "Fu Shuo Finance" was at 3:30 p.m., and Nan Ruoqiong was talking on TV again.
"As I expected, Thailand has already fought back against the malicious short selling by international hot money, restricting the source of their short selling funds and raising the cost of short selling with punitive interest rates.
However, international hot money is unlikely to stop. It is currently impossible to count how much foreign exchange reserves the Bank of Thailand has used in the past few days, nor is it possible to know how much is left. At the same time, it is also impossible to know how many positions international hot money has prepared.
However, it is certain that the Thai baht will still be attacked fiercely in the next week. If the Thai baht can withstand this wave of attacks, I believe that in the next one to two weeks, the Thai baht can rest easy..."
Xianggang, an international financial center, has more than one-third of its population engaged in stock trading and is very enthusiastic about financial commentators and analysts who can accurately predict the market. Although Nan Ruoqiong has only appeared twice including today, many people have already remembered the name "Chunan".
Not to mention Nian Lufu, "Fu Says Finance" has been broadcasting for nearly four months. His predictions on Hong Kong stocks have been extremely accurate time and time again. He has long been given the nickname "Master Nian", and has also made the name of PY Securities known to everyone.
Many people want to entrust PY Securities to make investments, but when they go to consult with high hopes, they return disappointed because the threshold is too high and people with small amounts of money simply don't look at it.
Seeing that the little girl on TV was performing very well, Nan Yi took the remote control and switched the channel to Liao Province Satellite TV.
On TV, a man and a woman were shouting excitedly: "Good news, good news, Dongqing Jewelry has imported a batch of gold jewelry from India. They are exquisite in style and cheap in price. Look..."
A batch of "gold" jewelry appeared on the screen and scrolled on display.
"Such exquisite gold jewelry, a necklace, a pair of earrings, and a ring as a set, can be used as a gift to your wife, relatives, or friends. It doesn't cost 998, just 98, and you can take a set of exquisite gold jewelry home. What are you still hesitating about? Call and place your order now..."
After the gold jewelry commercial, there was a delicious black fungus commercial, one after another, played in a loop during the TV station's garbage time.
These are the businesses of Dongqing International. After more than a year of development, it has been confined to the Northeast and its vicinity, and it is difficult to expand beyond the region.
There's nothing you can do. Nan Yi is trying to be a saint in a whore's den. Dongqing International's products are too serious. Take the gold sand jewelry for example. The gold content is very low, but the workmanship is good. Even if you don't mention the materials, if you sell it in a jewelry store, it can sell for at least one or two hundred yuan.
Dongqing International has been thriving just half a year after opening. Within six months, TV shopping companies have sprung up all over the country, and there are suddenly thousands of them. This area has become a hot spot. All kinds of old Chinese medicine practitioners, experts, and secret recipes have appeared on TV, offering breast augmentation, weight loss, acne removal, myopia treatment, and even more shameless ways to prolong time and increase hardness.
There is nothing you can't imagine that you can't see on TV.
Compared with these, Dongqing International’s products are too practical, their effects are mediocre and not tempting at all.
What’s worse is that all agricultural products are put on TV, including black fungus, fungus gift packs, special local honey, top-quality ginseng, first-class deer antlers, and wild vegetable platters. Even the lower-quality good things are sold through TV shopping channels.
Of course, the quality is not very high only internally. For consumers, most of them are of the best quality they have ever seen in their lives. Take the native honey for example, how many people have seen or eaten the honey without a shelf life? If the beekeeper support program had not gone astray, the honey of the Reclamation Group would have been exported to earn foreign exchange, and the honey left in the country would have been used for personal connections and internal profit sharing.
Farmers are simple and have diverse personalities, which are not stereotyped. There are also many who are short-sighted and only care about small profits. Especially as the domestic commercialization level is getting higher and higher, some businessmen with a little strength have squeezed into the honey business. The days of invincibility are gone forever, and the "quality" system built by the Reclamation Group over more than ten years has begun to show cracks.
Good quality does not come easily by just talking about it. In the process of bee breeding, every step must be carried out according to high standards. To produce the same pound of honey, ordinary breeding methods only require three-tenths of effort, but the breeding method of the reclamation group requires twelve-tenths of effort, and it is a skillful method, which is quite awkward for farmers who are used to working hard.
Although the purchase price is guaranteed, it is difficult to achieve large-scale and mass-production breeding.
The more the better, this is the perception ingrained in the farmers' bones. Between "1 yuan/jin, annual output of 1,000 jin" and "1,000 yuan/jin, annual output of 1 jin", most farmers will choose the former, because the former has a high tolerance rate and is less likely to end up with nothing.
Moreover, in the process of bee breeding, the reclamation group is not enterprising and holds on to the primitive set. It does not accept scientific technology and modern breeding methods, refuses to participate in the elemental periodic human gene mutation plan, is narrow-minded, and only cares about supplying good things to the powerful and wealthy, and is unwilling to let ordinary consumers share the profits.
Because of this, many beekeepers have awakened, abandoned the reclamation groups, joined the embrace of mass production, increased the number of beehives several times, and used scientific breeding methods, mixing one sugar with one water in spring and summer, and two sugars with one water in autumn and winter, which makes breeding much easier.
It is no longer like the past, when we had to chase the flowering season all year round, pulling beehives everywhere from the north to the south. Not to mention the huge shipping costs, people also suffered in the wilderness all year round, and the bees were easily killed. Now it is so much better! Bees are easy to keep alive by feeding them with sugar water, and white honey flows out when the honey shaker is shaken.
Don't talk about white sugar being right-handed and fructose being left-handed. There are many trace amounts of active beneficial ingredients . Even if the king of heaven comes, the essence of honey must be sweet. What beneficial ingredients are there? Just control the amount of sugar water and don't feed strong bees into weak ones or feed them to death. There is no difference between natural honey and white sugar honey.
Precisely because more and more beekeepers have this awareness and the industry secrets of honey are not known to the public, the market for honey is good and the profit from scientific mass production is no worse than that from traditional methods. As a result, many beekeepers have left the reclamation group and the beekeeper support program is basically in name only.
Therefore, the bee breeding of the Kenzhi Group no longer follows the cooperative model, but is changed to a group model. The Kenzhi Group, Shennong Nanliang, and Qiantangsheng jointly established Changbai Mountain Honey Industry, merged beekeepers who were willing to continue to cooperate, and carried out closed, intensive, and scientific traditional breeding.
The so-called traditional breeding method is to send bees to the mountains where flowers are blooming, to ensure that the bee colonies have honey to collect all year round, and the flowers must be screened to avoid them from enjoying the scientific power of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and to persevere in pursuing the beneficial ingredients of honey.
In the eyes of conservatives led by Nan Yi, the cost of honey is there and it is impossible to popularize it. Instead of changing the appearance of honey and turning it into another inexplicable thing for ordinary people to enjoy, it is better to let it circulate in a small range.
After the nature of the Reclamation Group changed, although Ge Cuizhu was still the chairman, Hualiang had a lot of say. People from Hualiang questioned the business model of Changbai Mountain Honey Industry - it should not only focus on the high-end market, but should be downward compatible and seize the mid-end market at the same time.
Some small things, harmony is the most important. The breeding method of Changbai Mountain Honey Industry has added a new ordinary breeding method, cutting out high-cost links. It only follows the flowering season between rural areas in the north and south. Bees are also fed with sugar water in winter, but the white molasses is not collected, but thrown away directly.
This is the wild honey sold by Dongqing International, but the final product has been diluted from one kilogram to three kilograms, a little compound is added, and then it is thickened. Then, in accordance with national requirements, an 18-month shelf life is written on the outer packaging. In this way, the price is lowered and ordinary people can afford it. At the same time, the quality is absolutely guaranteed.
You know what, it’s true, Changbai Mountain wild honey sells very well and everyone who has bought it says it’s good.
However, due to the strict product selection, Dongqing International is only at the middle level in the field of TV shopping, and is not good enough compared with the leading companies. Fortunately, it still has some street stall business - Dongqing International has recruited a group of laid-off workers to set up stalls all over the country to sell wallets, belts and leather shoes.
Although most people will go out and work on their own once they get the hang of it, there is a rich source of laid-off workers. Once one batch leaves, a new batch can be quickly recruited. Generally speaking, the profits are still considerable.
In addition, Dongqing International and Wu Xiaowei's Peregrine Express pioneered the cash on delivery service, allowing Peregrine Express to stand out from a number of express delivery companies. Instead of being entangled in document disputes with the post office, it took a different approach and embarked on a new path of cooperation with TV shopping companies.
Last time, Wu Xiaowei talked to Nan Yi and said that when the time is right, he wants to set up a shopping website similar to Ebay and Amazon in China.
Nan Yi's reply to him was that it was too early and it would not be too late to consider it ten years later. You can first think about building a national multimodal logistics network, taking advantage of the opportunity that it is not difficult to acquire land now and you can recover your investment through real estate. You should hurry up and get it done. Don't worry about the start-up capital, I can attract dozens or hundreds of investors for you.
In Fengtian, Zhang Feng, the head of Dongqing International, stood in the studio, watching the contracted actors test-shooting an advertisement for the new product "Gongcha Pu'er". Next to him stood Xu Lu, or should we call her Mrs. Zhang.
Zhang Feng and Xu Lu got together. They had already got their marriage certificate, but the wedding banquet had not yet been set up.
"Do you want to eat it? It smells delicious." Xu Lu put the pie in her hand under Zhang Feng's nose.
Zhang Feng sniffed and pushed Xu Lu's hand away, "Stop messing around, we're working, eat by yourself."
"I'm hungry, give me food."
Behind the two of them, Chen Wenqin came out and took the pie from Xu Lu's hand.
Seeing Chen Wenqin, Xu Lu exclaimed in surprise: "Wenqin, why are you here?"
Chen Wenqin took a bite of the pie and said, "I'm here to say goodbye and to ask you for a favor."
Xu Lu's happy expression froze when she heard this, "You're leaving?"
"The work here has been arranged, and I should go back to Nansheng." Chen Wenqin smiled calmly, "Several teachers' children will graduate from elementary school this year. After hearing about the 9000 class, they all want to send their children to it. Three of them may not pass the exam. I'm leaving this to you. Please help me deal with these three important notes."
[This year, Fengtian’s policy for primary school to junior high school is that in addition to the school district division, there is also a private plot. Each school sets its own questions and selects 100 students. Only those who pass the exam are eligible to pay the 9,000 yuan tuition fee. These 100 students will be assigned the best teaching staff in the school for intensive training. Because of the expensive 9,000 yuan tuition fee, it is respectfully called the 9,000 class.]
"It's easy to talk to the police. I really don't want you to leave." Xu Lu said while hugging Chen Wenqin.
"I will come back later."
After Li Weijing joined Green Core Development, her original plan to take over Nan Yi's personal industry had to be discounted. Chen Wenqin was stranded in Fengtian to be responsible for the management of Beidou Company. After being here for a long time, she often hung out with Xu Lu, and the two became very good friends.
Now that the Beidou company is on track, it is time for Chen Wenqin to return.
