In the evening, Yang Dongxu and Bai Qian had dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Yang Dongxu said he liked Japanese food a lot, but he couldn't say he didn't like it.
After all, although each country's cuisine has its own characteristics, when it comes to eating, Chinese chefs are at the ancestral level.
However, it is good to change the taste occasionally, but Yang Dongxu is not sensitive to heavy flavors such as sashimi and fish belly. But the sushi tastes really good.
Originally, the people who were having dinner together were not just Bai Qian and Yang Dongxu, but also Bai Feng, the big light bulb who insisted on coming over. But not long after I sat down, I got a call from home saying that the child was feeling a little unwell.
This new mother has just returned to work in the company with great enthusiasm after her confinement, looking like a strong woman. He just walked away without any nostalgia at all. Business is not as important as his own son.
"I want to resign!" Bai Qian said as she put a piece of sashimi into her mouth.
Yang Dongxu, who was stuffing sushi into his mouth, his eyes widened for a moment, then he coughed violently and almost choked and rolled his eyes. He drank the sake next to him as water and finally drank it down.
"Sister, if you don't play like this, will someone really die?" Feeling the pungent sensation of being choked by a foreign object in his nasal cavity, tears welled up in Yang Dongxu's eyes.
Bai Qian looked at him calmly, obviously not paying attention to his cuteness at the moment.
Yang Dongxu clicked his tongue in embarrassment: "The work pressure is too great, or does someone want you to give up?"
"No, it's me who wants to resign." Bai Qian said.
"Huh?" Yang Dongxu looked at Bai Qian in surprise, wondering if the Bai Qian in front of him was someone else pretending to be her. This was not the Hundred Queen he knew.
"Do you think I can reach my grandfather's position if I sit in this position and work harder?" Bai Qian asked.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then frowned. He seemed to understand why Bai Qian resigned.
Bai Qian is indeed very powerful in terms of ability and skill, but what you have to say is that domestic politics is a man's world. Even if there are stripes that require some lesbians to hold important positions in the ranks, they can be in politics and state-owned enterprises.
Women in middle-level managers have great advantages, while women in senior-level managers are rare. As for the lesbians who have reached the top, throughout China’s five thousand years of history, only Wu Zetian is such a great figure.
So Bai Qian has actually reached the ceiling that she can reach by sitting in her current position. If you do well at this time, you can either move behind the scenes and move up a level, or you can move around in the same position every few years.
And if you don't do it well, you will step directly into the abyss.
"I insisted on fighting for this position at the beginning because although the Baijia fell, people's hearts cannot be dispersed. We cannot give some people the opportunity to add insult to injury, because then the Baijia will be completely divided and there will be no possibility of rising again.
But now that Baijia is stable, there is no need for me to occupy such a thankless position. On the surface, it looks beautiful, but in fact it is not as important to me and Baijia as I imagined. "Bai Qian continued.
If other people heard this, they would definitely scold Bai Qian for looking for trouble. It even feels like she's being pretentious, just like the richest man Ma said that he doesn't like money and it's painful to make money. She's a flamboyant person who doesn't know who he is after becoming famous.
But Yang Dongxu heard another layer of Bai Qian's meaning. That means that neither she nor her brother will be able to restore the glory of Baijia.
Since she couldn't go any further in the political arena, Bai Qian decided to retire. Get rid of the shackles of being a mobile communications boss, and then let Baijia rise again commercially.
Just like she said, the only reason she tried so hard to get into this position was to stabilize the situation that was so precarious for hundreds of families. Others only recognized her ability and did not benefit Baijia much.
Instead, it's because I sit in this position that I can't do anything else. After all, she is now a public official, and the country has clear regulations on public officials engaging in business operations.
So now that Baijia is stable, this position has many more constraints than benefits for her. From the perspective of self-interest, resigning is actually the best choice.
Bai Qian obviously made this decision through careful consideration and considered all aspects. Compared to the previous time when she was still somewhat competitive and impulsive, she has undoubtedly become more mature now.
"Do you want to take advantage of your cable factory?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Although the cable factory also has state shares, it is indeed a Baijia industry, from factory to production to sales. It was all started little by little by hundreds of families. Although there are some small tricks to take advantage of the country from the East. But from a legal perspective, it is indeed Baijia's industry, not a state-owned enterprise.
"That one has military industry orders, which has advantages and limitations." Bai Qian said.
Yang Dongxu nodded. It's time for the weak to be marked as protection. When they are strong enough, protection becomes a restraint. Unless you are the boss, no one dares to show their teeth no matter what you say.
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Real estate!" Bai Qian said without any hesitation.
Yang Dongxu was shocked again.
"What? Not good in this industry?" Seeing Yang Dongxu's surprised look, Bai Qian asked.
"It's not impossible, I just didn't expect you to do this." Yang Dongxu shook his head. The Queen of Hundreds is the Queen of Hundreds, and her eyes are still so precise.
"Actually, when I was thinking about it before, I also considered not only real estate, but also cosmetics and children's products. However, I failed relatively, but I still have some connections. Whether it is the chemical industry or the children's industry, I am too unfamiliar. That's why I chose Real estate at least has some confidence," said Bai Qian.
All right!
Yang Dongxu is completely convinced, because whether it is cosmetics or children's products. Even if you only produce hand cream and diapers. These two industries are still industries that can make a lot of money, even if they are done well, they may not look as high-end as communication companies. But she's really making money.
Women, children and the elderly are the three pillars of the future economy. If you think of real estate as a hard demand that the older generation wants to have a home. So the three industries chosen by Bai Qian can be said to be the bull's-eye.
"Let's make cosmetics." Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment and then continued to stuff sushi into his mouth.
"Why?" Bai Qian asked in surprise. She thought Yang Dongxu would support her in real estate.
Real estate seems to be competing with hurricane construction, but anyone with a clear head knows that. Domestic real estate cannot be occupied by one company, or even ten companies. It's impossible for the big guys to join forces because the interests involved are too huge.
Therefore, having her in this industry will not have any impact on hurricane construction. Without her, hurricane construction should eat meat or meat. The bowl is so big that it is impossible to add another bone.
As for real estate, she has financial support from the cable factory and the connections left over from Baijia, so she can basically start the business on her own. Yang Dongxu can at most give her pointers and lessons learned, saving time and effort.
But if she wanted to make cosmetics, she had never been exposed to the chemical industry, so Yang Dongxu asked her to choose this industry. It must have been decided to help her arrange a path in this industry, which is more difficult than real estate.
"From a profit perspective, real estate is indeed the fastest to make money among the three industries. But when it comes to huge profits, these three industries are actually similar. Even the cosmetics industry is higher than the other two."
Thinking about the cost of a few hundred yuan of moisturizing liquid in later generations, he continued to say: "Compared to real estate, cosmetics are much more low-key. And relying on real estate to accumulate family fortunes, it seems to be rising. It was quick but controversial.”
In fact, there is another thing he didn't say, that is, as a person who has been through it. Even when he was reborn, the domestic real estate market was still very hot.
But in fact, it is already the last glory, and the dividends from domestic real estate cannot last a lifetime. Twenty years at most will come to an end, and then comes the cold winter of the seemingly prosperous real estate industry.
But cosmetics are different. Cosmetics can continue to be made, or even become a family business inherited by hundreds of families. And in this case, everyone only looks at your brand, except for peers who also have other agendas. Not many people bother to find out who the real boss is behind this brand. It is very suitable for making a fortune in silence.
"But I don't know much about this industry." Bai Qian said.
"It's okay if you don't understand. I don't understand it very well either." Yang Dongxu said.
Bai Qian couldn't help but glare at him, I don't understand why you still let me choose this?
But this look was obviously more anger than blame.
Yang Dongxu didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Although I don't understand chemical engineering, I understand the routines of the cosmetics industry. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You can hire someone with a high salary to help you manage the company.
There is no problem if you don’t understand chemical engineering. You can first use the money to buy a factory or even a current cosmetics brand. In this industry, technology and production are secondary, and packaging is primary. One point quality and nine points packaging, or nine points reputation. "
"Why do I become more and more unreliable the more I hear it?" Bai Qian looked at Yang Dongxu.
If she was angry just now because she thought Yang Dongxu was teasing her. After listening to Yang Dongxu's general plan to enter the cosmetics industry, she felt that what Yang Dongxu was talking about was not for her to develop well in this industry, but for her to start a leather bag company, make a fortune and run away. And this was obviously not her original intention.
"Why is it unreliable? I think it is very reliable, at least this is how everyone in this industry plays. If you feel uneasy about your conscience, it is already a good conscience to ensure that your products are not harmful to users and ensure quality. ." Yang Dongxu spread his hands, indicating that he would not bear the blame.
Unless it’s a luxury item, it’s daily cosmetics, shampoo, body wash, etc. As long as there is no problem with the product itself, the winner will be the competition on packaging and reputation. Even luxury goods are won or lost based on this.
New technologies and high-end technologies are all nonsense, unless you can come up with an epoch-making product to restore youth. Otherwise, when it comes to removing oil and dirt, everyone basically just changes the soup without changing the medicine.
Those who have the money to hire celebrities to advertise are big-name tea products, otherwise they are just niche products.
As for reputation and quality issues, as long as the product is not harmful to users and has some anti-dandruff and grease effects, it is basically considered a success.
Is using big brand shampoo just to clean your hair?
Inner vanity and satisfaction are also very important, okay?
And this is the key point.
For example, when you go to a bathhouse to take a shower, the people you buy are shampoos such as Ching Young and Head & Shoulders.
You bought a big bucket of shampoo for 10 yuan. The quantity is huge, and the effect after washing is actually about the same, maybe even your fragrance is stronger.
But why do people look at you as if you're stupid?
Therefore, in the cosmetics industry, one point of authenticity and nine points of flattery basically pass the qualification line. Two points of truth and nine points of praise will give you the opportunity to develop into a big brand.
Three points of authenticity and nine points of praise, you can try to make luxury goods.
If four points are true and nine points are flattering, you don't do luxury goods. Instead, they sell products according to big brands, which is simply a debut in the industry. It is not an exaggeration to call them a kind-hearted entrepreneur.
"Is this industry so unreliable?" After hearing what Yang Dongxu said, Bai Qian instantly felt that this industry was a pit, and it was very likely to be a cesspit.
"Having said that, this is already very reliable. In this industry, as long as the packaging is good, it is nothing new for something that costs a few cents to sell for dozens or hundreds.
This is just like wearing street stall goods and wearing famous brands. Is the street vendor half-clothed? Or is the wearing quality not up to par and not sturdy enough? Why do you feel better wearing famous brands than wearing street clothes?
When it comes to quality, the quality of some imitations is the real conscience. Do you believe that the so-called handmade luxury goods are of terrible quality? But why do people feel arrogant when buying genuine products, and feel guilty when buying imitations?
So unless what I am talking about is a cannonball used in war, it needs to be real-life and have real effects, and then look at the brand if you are in the mood. The rest of the industries are basically the same. "
"A lot of nonsense." Bai Qian curled her lips.
