336 The Power of Consumption

The Office of the Director of China's Strategy and Security Bureau. Originally such a high-level unit should have a building or something like that, but Qi Yiming took into account the secrecy and importance of the organization, so he built the Strategy and Security Bureau under the Fragrant Mountain. In fact,

After he got married, he no longer lived in the triple courtyard house in his city. Instead, he moved to a secluded villa in Xiangshan. This villa also

The site he chose to build looks no different from an ordinary villa on the outside, but there is a secret hidden inside. Not only can the material structure withstand the bombardment of tanks and artillery, but it also has direct access to the underground facilities of the Strategic Bureau, and even a small base has been built inside.

The controlled sentry cannon was used as a weapon. Even Jiang Huayan did not know that his love nest could actually be transformed into a terrifying weapon fortress.

Qi Yiming doesn't know how he got the habit of digging holes, but he sometimes laughs at himself. There is no man who doesn't like "drilling holes." As a confidential unit, all the office facilities of the Strategy Bureau are in the mountains.

Zhonghe is underground, but the facilities inside are all available, and it looks particularly sci-fi and advanced, so people working here will not feel particularly uncomfortable.

In his office, Ye Yaozi sat there in a dignified manner. As a deputy director-level existence, Ye Yaozi participated in most of Qi Yiming's major plans, including Afghanistan, Myanmar and other affairs. She held up her orchid and fingered her fingers.

Nail, while asking seemingly casually: "I see you are very happy in your newlywed life, Yanzi has grown pregnant so quickly."

Qi Yiming blushed slightly. Although he did not tell anyone that he and his wife were pregnant out of wedlock, Ye Yaozi had good observation skills and could naturally see that Jiang Huayan's belly grew too fast. Ye Yaozi himself was a troubled person.

Girl, she still hasn’t understood her sexual orientation, but that doesn’t stop her from making fun of Qi Yiming and his wife.

Qi Yiming hurriedly used the topic of work to talk to her, saying: "Where did those Yugoslavs visit?

Ye Yaozi casually took a tablet computer, swiped it a few times, and replied: "I should have seen a private food processing factory this morning. Well, according to your previous assumptions, Yugoslavia does not have the ability to provide ordinary consumer goods. It should

Focus on developing more light industries such as the food industry, well, we will still use the outsourcing model of our brand and their workers and factories."

Qi Yiming laughed and said: "We are still doing OEM work for others, but now we have to ask Europeans with a higher living standard than us to do OEM work for us." His words were more ridiculing, such as light industry

Many consumer goods in China have the characteristics of being produced locally and consumed locally. Basically, there are no relatively large countries.

Household shampoo has to be imported from other countries, and Coca-Cola will not be imported from other countries. Even if North Korea has a Coca-Cola production plant, Coca-Cola cannot be produced in China or South Korea and then shipped to the country with a lot of trouble.

Go to North Korea. Tariffs alone can easily make this inexpensive product lose any competitiveness.

It can be seen from this that even if Qi Yiming has the ambition to conquer the world, he will not engage in printing, daily chemicals or food processing. He must also make it in China and then send it to all over the world. This is not normal at all.

How to play. In the light industry, only textiles are relatively resistant to transportation, and have a relatively large impact on labor costs. So it is very

Many countries have their own textile industries, but their market share is relatively small. For example, in another dimension, most of the fabrics you can see when searching the North American market are produced in China, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and other countries, but

There are indeed so many textile factories in the United States and Canada. As for where their products are located, it is worth pondering.

The consumption of daily necessities is directly related to the living standards and happiness of residents. In the past, many red countries ignored this. They were all influenced by the Soviet Union to a certain extent. They went big and fast to heavy industry. Although they have achieved some results,

But when the economic crisis comes, the dissatisfaction generated by the people is also terrible because they cannot withstand the reduction in living standards.

China's situation is special. The country is too big and the population is too large. Both light and heavy industries are in short supply. There is no argument on whether there should be more heavy industry or light industry. If there is some, it can be sold.

In order to save the crisis in Yugoslavia, Qi Yiming hopes to rely on the surging strength accumulated by the domestic light industry to support the development of the local civil industry in Yugoslavia. These enterprises are fragmented and not very big, but they are closely related to people's lives and are people's

The most direct feeling about the standard of living.

Ye Yaozi added: "Their trip in the afternoon is to go to a Jiahua Supermarket in Shencheng City to experience the capabilities of the chain retail industry."

The Jiahua Supermarket chain is a retail enterprise that Qi Yiming created when he was in Nanyang. The equity is fully owned by a legal person that does not actually exist, but in fact it is a company completely owned by Qi Yiming. This supermarket has never existed since then.

Since its birth, there have been quite a few advanced management concepts from later generations, such as zero inventory, goods

Shelf setting, promotion management and many other dazzling things. Within one year, Jiahua opened more than 20 branches in Nanyang Republic, and the turnover was astonishing. After 1987, Jiahua entered the domestic market again,

In just two years, dozens of branches have been opened, making it one of Qi Yiming's fastest-growing businesses.

Moreover, Qi Yiming used sales terminals like Jiahua to be responsible for the large-scale underwriting of agricultural loans and entrepreneurial loans, which completed the entire industrial chain and smoothly stimulated the consumer economy. Professionals assessed that just by operating China

and Nanyang Market, Jiahua supermarket chain is fully capable of entering the world's top 100 companies and competing with foreign supermarket chains such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour.

In the afternoon, Novakovic and other Yugoslav officials came to the Jiahua Supermarket in Shanghai. It was a working day, and there were not many people in the supermarket, which was convenient for Novakovic and others to visit.

.As soon as they entered this huge supermarket, Yugoslavs felt

I felt a completely different atmosphere coming to my face. A dazzling array of products filled the shelves, with various price tags marked with cursive characters and various promotion panels. Different products in different areas seemed like

It's like asking people to buy it at the top of their lungs.

Each Yugoslavian was given 100 RMB, which was not much money in total. The organizers believed that visiting the supermarket was meaningless. Shopping can give a person the most intuitive experience, so a group of middle-aged blond and blue-eyed people in suits and ties proposed

Hold or push the small cargo basket and start to experience it in a completely different state

Because of language and writing barriers, they have translators around them, but a translator usually has to take care of a lot of people, and even a group of old men, their desire to shop is terrifying, and the translators are so busy that they are overwhelmed.

Sweating profusely.

"...This is the area specializing in toiletries. There are dozens of brands from my country and other countries. Hey, are you talking about that? It seems to be a hair conditioner. It has only become popular in the past two years. Many women like to use it after washing their hair. After using this thing once, it can protect the hair and make the hair more shiny and moist. Ah, ah, that is a men's facial cleanser, yes, it is specially used for men to clean their faces. Oh, you ask, what is the difference between it and soap? The shopping guide said It can relieve oily skin and make the skin smoother..."

A group of foreigners came to a delicatessen counter again. This place not only sells traditional Chinese snack foods such as steamed buns, steamed buns, shrimp dumplings, and meat dumplings, but also some Western snacks, such as toast, cakes, puddings, etc. I am used to the West.

Some foreigners at the restaurant took some food with a smile, and even started eating before paying the bill, regardless of supermarket regulations.

“Haha, this cake tastes so good”

After all, it was a diplomatic occasion, and there were no security guards to catch these obsessive guys, so we just let them eat and drink.

Novakovic was shocked by this "magnificent" supermarket. Almost everything he could think of that was used in people's lives could be purchased in this supermarket. He took a thermos cup and bought a repair pair.

The characteristics of nails, nail clippers, and even remembered that the socks he wore had a hole in them, so he bought a few more pairs of socks for himself. He calculated these things in his mind, and they were so cheap that he found it outrageous. Maybe he would buy two or three pairs in Yugoslavia.

The price of socks is the price of all the things he buys now.

Of course, it’s hard to say what the currency value of the dinar in Yugoslavia is now. He just compared it with relative prices. From the changes in the highest face value of dinar banknotes, you can know how terrible the inflation in Yugoslavia is now: 80

The maximum denomination of the dinar was one thousand in the early 1900s, but now it is five million...

Just when Novakovic was lost in thought, he heard one of his colleagues exclaim exaggeratedly: "There are so many electrical appliances...so cheap."

In the 1980s, even in Western countries, although household appliances were not as expensive as those in China, they were still a relatively large household expense. Especially in Eastern European countries, this was especially true for the consumption of daily household appliances. They lacked a household appliance industry.

, our country mostly has heavy industries such as machinery, chemicals, petroleum, and metallurgy, and imported home appliances are also very expensive. Therefore, when they see a large number of home appliances placed on the containers and the prices are so cheap, they can no longer calm down.

Even Novakovic saw this scene helplessly. A colleague pulled over a few friends and said: "Hey, guys, can you lend me the RMB in your hands? I think this color TV is good, oh, then

The refrigerator is also very good. I want to buy it and take it home."

One person immediately said: "No, my son has always wanted to learn photography. I want to buy that Seagull camera. I can't lend you money."
