Chapter 3047 Three Major Industries
w Mr. Wen stood up and walked back and forth in the reception room.
"Xiao Lin, tell me, what do you mean?" Mr. Wen was a little excited.
'Hero' brand fountain pen, this is China's first fountain pen factory. Founded in 1931, it is the most well-known fountain pen brand in China. Several of its products, such as Hero 100 gold pen and Hero 616, have also enjoyed a high reputation internationally. It is a fountain pen brand as famous as the American 'Parker' fountain pen (limited to the Asian market). Of course, these are all in the past. In the past, 'Hero' brand fountain pens were very popular and almost monopolized the entire domestic fountain pen market. At its most glorious time, in the 1980s, its assets were close to 1 billion yuan. Today, its net assets are only 2.08 million yuan, and its workers have also shrunk sharply from thousands of people in the three major industries in the peak period to the current 150 people. And this decline continues to worsen.
In the foreseeable future, 'Hero' will die!
"Forever" brand bicycles are a brand of bicycles produced by Shanghai Forever Co., Ltd. In the 1970s and 1980s, bicycles were high-end means of transportation. At that time, rural brides often used "Forever" to pick up brides. However, with the development of industrialization in recent years and the popularization of automobiles, "Forever" has gradually faded out of people's sight. And this bicycle brand that once dominated China's bicycle kingdom has also declined sharply. Today, although it is still rated as one of the top ten well-known brands in the bicycle industry in the Chinese market. But its momentum has declined.
These are all Chinese domestic brands, but with the progress of reform and opening up. These brands that once made the Chinese people extremely proud are declining rapidly. Some have declined, insisting on the last arrogance. Some are directly sold, or acquired by Chinese people, or bought out by foreign capital. In short. The current domestic national brands are really worrying.
At present, countless familiar brands in China are actually foreign-funded. For example, "Golden Dragon Fish", American; Nanfu Battery, American; Shuanghui, which was invested by Morgan Stanley in Chapter 3047, the three major industries, although the equity is still in the hands of China. But in fact, it can already be regarded as an American-funded enterprise. There is also 'Dabao', a skin care brand that was once famous in China for its slogan - Dabao, see you every day - and is currently being acquired by Johnson & Johnson. If nothing unexpected happens, 'Dabao' will become a brand of Johnson & Johnson.
Mr. Wen smiled bitterly. At present, domestic brands are constantly being eroded by foreign capital. Unfortunately, due to various reasons. After joining, China often cannot conduct government intervention. Of course, even if intervention is useless, the reason why these brands are financed and acquired by foreign companies is mostly because of their own poor management and facing the dilemma of bankruptcy. At this time, there is actually not much difference between your country controlling and not controlling.
If you oppose the acquisition, the company will go bankrupt, and the employees of those companies will lose their jobs. These people will lose their jobs, and the country will have to support them. If the country does not support them, they will cause social unrest.
Therefore, in most cases, facing these unsatisfactory companies, even if they are well-known companies, if there is foreign capital to acquire them, as long as they follow the legal and normal procedures, then the country will agree. This is a very rogue thing.
However, no one wants their country's brands to be acquired by foreign capital, and Mr. Wen is unwilling to do so. If Lin Feng really wants to support these once glorious and well-known brands, he is very supportive, 100% supportive.
So, Mr. Wen was a little excited.
"Haha, Mr. Wen, I am a Chinese with conscience, and a Chinese businessman who knows how to give back to society. Over the years, I have witnessed the decline of domestic brands and I am heartbroken. I didn't have the ability before, but now I have the ability. I want to do something for China and the Chinese people. I hope that Chinese brands can go global, and I hope that there will be Chinese brands among the world's fashion brands in the future." Lin Feng said with a fist.
"Good! Well said! Very well said! China needs patriotic businessmen like you with conscience!" Mr. Wen applauded loudly. At this moment, he really felt that his love for Lin Feng was not in vain. This kid, how much has the country wiped him over the years, and how much trouble has he caused. Just hoping that one day this guy can give back to society and the country.
Today, Lin Feng finally said this. It's worth it, everything before is worth it.
Looking at Mr. Wen's cheerful look, Lin Feng was a little disapproving in his heart. This country hasn't taken care of me in these years. Of course, there is care, that's for sure. But compared to the care that other second-generation officials have received, my care is a bit insignificant. But Lin Feng is still very grateful for Mr. Wen's care. For example, today, Mr. Wen was not angry after being made to wait for a whole day, which is a great care. Look at other people, do they dare to make Mr. Wen wait for such a whole day?
"Xiao Lin, tell me, what are you going to do?" Mr. Wen rubbed his hands.
"Mr. Wen, in fact, I don't have a perfect plan for reviving national brands. I can only take one step at a time and do it as I go to see how to make these national brands shine again. After all, if it's just about throwing money, that's easy. I'll sponsor some money and they can get through the current crisis. But what happens after the money is used up? The problems of these national brands are the problems of most state-owned enterprises, chaotic management, bureaucracy, corruption, and..." Lin Feng had a lot of complaints about these state-owned enterprises and wanted to pour them out, but seeing that Mr. Wen's face was getting uglier and uglier, he stopped talking.
"In short, if I want to acquire these national brands, Mr. Wen, you have to give me some discounts." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, tell me, what discount do you want." Mr. Wen's face was slightly pale. He knew Lin Feng's evaluation of state-owned enterprises just now, but this is the stubborn disease of state-owned enterprises. What can you do? Many problems are difficult to reverse. Although the country wants to change, it can only change slowly, and this change cannot be drastic and can be changed overnight. After all, this involves many aspects and many interests. Lin Feng is a lonely man, and there is no pressure, so he said it so lightly.
If Lin Feng really came to his position, he believed that Lin Feng would never say it so lightly.
"In fact, I don't want many discounts. There are only two points. One is that the company I want to acquire is not allowed to raise the price for me. If I want to acquire, I must acquire!" Lin Feng said the first overlord clause.
Mr. Wen frowned. Your clause is a bit overbearing. If you want to acquire. You have to acquire. What if you are interested in Shougang? The country has to sell it to you?
"Hehe, Mr. Wen, I only refer to the primary and tertiary industries. I will not touch the secondary industry. I know it in my heart!" Lin Feng hurriedly explained.
What are the primary industry, secondary industry, and tertiary industry?
Primary industry. Also known as the first industry. An industrial sector in the national economy classified according to the "Three Industries Classification Method". Refers to the sector that mainly utilizes natural forces and produces products or industrial raw materials that can be consumed without deep processing. Its scope varies from country to country. Generally, it includes agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry and gathering.
The secondary industry is an industrial sector in the traditional industrial economic theory of industrial classification. It refers to the industrial sector that processes the products (raw materials) provided by the primary industry and the industry itself, including mining, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water production and supply. Construction industry.
The tertiary industry, also known as the third industry, refers to the industry that does not produce material products, that is, the service industry. It was first proposed by British economist and professor of Otago University in New Zealand Fisher in his book "The Conflict between Security and Progress" in 1935. The tertiary industry refers to other industries except the primary and secondary industries. If divided in detail. For example, transportation, postal and telecommunications, commercial catering, material supply and marketing and warehousing, finance, insurance, geological survey, real estate management, public utilities, residential services, tourism, information consulting services and various technical services, manufacturing, etc. are all considered tertiary industries.
As for how these three industries were born and divided, it was a method of industrial classification first created by New Zealand economist Fisher. He proposed a method of industrial division in his book "The Conflict of Security and Progress" in 1935. Based on Fisher, British economist and statistician Clark used the three-industry classification method to conduct a large number of empirical analyses on the relationship between the changes in the three-industry structure and economic development, and summarized the laws of change in the three-industry structure and its role in economic development.
Lin Feng does not touch the secondary industry, which means he does not touch the core industries of those countries, which makes Mr. Wen feel a little relieved. If this department is not touched, the core interests of the country will not be violated. Otherwise, if Lin Feng goes to acquire these industries, then I really have to doubt Lin Feng's motives.
"Okay, I can agree to your first point. But you can't acquire too many companies at one time, and they must be well-known companies that have already declined. You can't acquire profitable companies." Mr. Wen added a tight spell to Lin Feng. He hoped that Lin Feng would support national brands, and that he hoped that Lin Feng would support those state-owned brands that were once famous but now in decline. If Lin Feng specifically acquired those that were making money, wouldn't that be equivalent to embezzling state-owned assets? How could this be possible!
"Well, don't worry. I'm not one of those vampires. How could I plagiarize state-owned assets? Don't worry, Mr. Wen." Lin Feng patted his chest and promised.
"Okay, then tell me your second request." Mr. Wen continued to ask.
"The second point is that once I acquire it, I want to have absolute autonomy for the development and management of this brand. Any local administrative intervention, official-centered thinking, and various bureaucratic practices must be left alone!" Lin Feng snorted.
What Lin Feng hates most is those local bureaucratic practices. In fact, from Lin Feng's point of view, the central government's orders are all very good, but they are misinterpreted by local officials in many places, and then they use those administrative orders to make money and seek personal gain. In Shanghai, this international metropolis, bureaucracy still exists, but it is the smallest compared to other places in China. Therefore, when Lin Feng chose the headquarters, he did not choose Beijing, but Shanghai.
Mr. Wen agreed to Lin Feng's request very readily. He also hated these bureaucrats the most, but sometimes there was no way to deal with many things. It was not something that could be solved by him giving an order alone. Therefore, he could only rely on Lin Feng to change these situations. Although Lin Feng could only change a small part of the situation, it was good to be able to change it. This is just like the principle of not doing good things because they are small, and not doing evil things because they are small. As long as there is a change, it is good.
"Mr. Wen, thank you very much. I thank you on behalf of the people of the whole country!" Lin Feng stood up and bowed to Mr. Wen, "You will definitely be famous for today's decision. China's future national brands will surely be glorious because of your decision today!"
"You kid, don't flatter me. I don't like flattery." Mr. Wen heard this and laughed and scolded.
"Well, why don't I treat you to dinner tonight!" Lin Feng looked at his watch. "Look, it's almost four o'clock in the afternoon. It will be five o'clock in a little while. Let's go to dinner together after get off work." Lin Feng said with a smile, "Take it as a New Year's dinner."
"Well, this is a must. You made me wait for so long, you should treat me to an apology. So, I will call Mr. Xi and a few secretaries later, and we will have dinner together and get to know each other. If you encounter any problems in brand acquisition in the future, you can call them. Don't always call me to talk about trivial things. I don't have so much time to listen to your complaints!" Mr. Wen said with a smile.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up when he heard it. Although Mr. Wen's tone sounded distant and didn't let Lin Feng call, he actually told Lin Feng to let go and go. These acquisitions of national brands are just trivial matters. Since they are trivial matters, they won't cause any big disasters, so there is no need to care about them. Just go and go.
"Okay, go and take a rest. I'll ask my secretary to call you when the time comes." Mr. Wen gave an order and continued to work. He is not like Lin Feng. He can delay many things, let his subordinates handle them, and be a hands-off boss, but he can't do that. So many important things are waiting for him to deal with.
Lin Feng didn't say much. He followed his secretary to the lounge with a smile, waiting for the arrival of meal time.
As a result, it took more than 2 hours to wait, and it was already past meal time. Lin Feng fell asleep a long time ago. He didn't sleep well to begin with, and he was naturally sleepy after waiting like this. Lin Feng was not as restrained as other people. He would sit here and wait with 12 points of attention even if he was sleepy. As for Lin Feng, he looked around and saw that there was no one there anyway. The sofa was soft. Although it was not as comfortable as his own bed, it was not bad. He fell asleep on the sofa in the VIP lounge of the Great Hall with his legs raised. And as he fell asleep, the snoring became louder and louder. rqm
