"Yuan Shao, I don't know if my observation is correct. Our company's general process is that you discover business opportunities and gradually establish foreign trade, capital, transportation and other links. Then we will sign orders, outsource, find agents, etc. according to your instructions.

Etc. This is almost the case for import and export. Since the current sales are quite good, all the employees of the company feel nothing. Until you suddenly discover a new business opportunity..."

"Yeah." Li Yuan smiled and nodded, encouraging Yan Yan to continue.

"There are few opportunities. If that's the case, why don't we send more people to find business opportunities? I believe there are many commodities worth trading. And there are still many blank places. For example: in the largest markets of Western Europe and Eastern Europe, we have almost nothing.

. And there is the Liyuan headquarters. Now, in addition to some regular daily necessities and small commodities exported to Russia and Africa, there are also some timber imports? There is almost nothing else? "

"Then what do you want to do?"

"If possible, can we recruit dozens of people? Set up several offices outside?" Yan Yan quickly explained,

"Master Yuan, we have our own fleet and banks in Hong Kong. Do we have a natural advantage in import and export trade with those agents?" Li Yuan touched his chin and carefully considered Yan Shan's suggestion.

Different from the future era of online shopping, the current foreign trade import and export has not been flattened. Generally speaking, after domestic manufacturers produce goods, domestic foreign trade companies will go through it, and foreign foreign trade import companies will go through it again, and wholesale

It goes through one business, then to small wholesalers, retailers, and finally to the users.

In this case, is it normal to double the price? It is very possible to double the price several times. And there are too many intermediate links, and each link will lower the price.

As a result, domestic foreign trade orders were only three melons and two dates, which could only be shoddy. Later, foreign countries generally

The impression of "madeina" is very bad. In addition to the fact that there are many profiteers in China, the main reason is because the price is too low - you just give this price, do you still want to maintain quality and quantity?

Just make do with it! The other thing is that the market is not unified. Now globalization has not taken shape at all, and e-commerce is not even a shadow.

Take Europe for example: they haven't even established the European Union yet. If you want to do foreign trade? You can only go one by one.

And the current international trade network is extremely incomplete. East Asian first-mover countries like Japan and South Korea, as well as the Four Little Dragons and Four Little Tigers, are basically controlled by domestic chaebols.

Internally, it is the internal procurement of the chaebol group, and externally, it is external promotion as a whole. It needs to be explained here: For the internal chaebol, this model will bring great benefits.

Excess profits can be captured. Internal procurement can be unified and domestic small and medium-sized enterprises can be squeezed out as much as possible.

Externally, they can collectively raise prices and form a de facto monopoly. They are almost as virtuous as European and American countries, but in fact they are collaborating.

But in such a business environment, it is extremely difficult for small businesses to survive, and it is even more impossible for a single owner like me to survive.

Therefore, the penetration of goods from East Asia and Southeast Asia is not very deep. There are also large trading companies like Yin Tengzhong, but it is difficult to see self-employed people in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Therefore, for products such as home appliances, automobiles, and electronic products, Japanese and Korean products are indeed very famous around the world.

But there are not many others, and there is even a lot of room for local enterprises to survive. However, after a few decades, there will be countless small commodity factories such as Yiwu on one end, and overwhelming Chinese small shops abroad on the other, with some special links in the middle.

How many major e-commerce companies are there?

The entire sales chain has been completely opened up. How can we still fight? Has all the money been made by the Chinese grandsons?

So some foreign countries later enacted new laws that strictly prohibited non-residents from entering the retail industry and even refused electronic payments?

Will it even cause ridicule from some domestic anchors? In fact, there is really nothing we can do. You Chinese people also want to give us a bite of food!

That's the truth. But back to the present, this foreign trade ecology is a little abnormal. That's why Li Yuan can find a business opportunity at a casual glance.

In fact, it would be the same for others. It's really not an exaggeration. Later, there was a Chinese who discovered this very strange phenomenon in a certain country?

Why is the price difference with the domestic price so big? So I wholesale it directly in Yiwu, and then wholesale it directly to local sellers... In just a few years, I entered the top 20 in the import and export trade of a certain country!

Don’t think that it is a small country. That country is called France! Can you believe it? There are many multinational companies in France, right?

Can he still be ranked in the top twenty? Of course, many years later, his business was struggling. A large wave of Chinese came over as if they smelled something fishy, ​​and started a crazy involution... But no matter what, a

It is the flattening of the sales hierarchy; one is a small commodity supplier like Yiwu.

No matter how much you deduct costs, it is impossible for the cost of each small commodity to be lower than that of professional small manufacturers.

The last one is a Chinese retailer. Almost all

"Madeina" was sold in every corner. Later, when we talked about the world factory in China, they seemed to be talking about domestic industrialization, labor quality and cost, and all industrial categories, etc.

But on the other hand, such a sales network is also extremely important! Not every product is a product of a multinational company like Apple, Tesla or Sony. They can establish their own global sales network.

Many of them need the kind of underlying ecosystem that is like moving ants. Therefore, India and Yin Lang still have some hope.

First of all, they have achieved industrialization, no matter how primitive this industrialization is; secondly, they have Indian merchants and Arab merchants, who are as hard-working as the Chinese.

It really shouldn’t be underestimated. Of course, only God knows whether it will succeed in the end... Let’s get back to the subject.

Li Yuan suddenly discovered that this flat sales model was indeed worth a try! Anyway, the labor cost was not very high, and he could afford it, and even the cost of trial and error.

To put it bluntly, even if you can't make any money, you can still earn a large amount of service fees through your own shipping and your own bank.

To take a step back, as long as such a logistics network is established and we enter the e-commerce era, why not just make money by lying down?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Xiaoyan, your idea is very good. Just set up a special company... Liyuan Trading. You will be in charge temporarily." Yan Yan's face was happy: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan..." Li Yuan smiled

He waved his hand and said, "But I have a request. You seem to be a little conservative."
