I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Hello everyone, I'm Rogers. I may not be as well-known in China as Buffett and Soros, but I know this place better than them. My investment methods are relatively mild, and not as aggressive as the previous two. Everyone can relax and don't think that I came to this conference with any purpose. You can just treat me as a little old man."

Rogers' speech was translated and delivered to everyone's ears.

"Hahaha."

"This foreigner is really interesting."

The people in the audience clapped and laughed.

As soon as Rogers opened his mouth, the atmosphere on the scene changed from tense to relaxed.

This is also the unique charm of the boss's speech.

"The young man just now is my good friend. Although I am a foreigner, I think what he said makes sense. If the credit reporting system is forcibly launched without being perfect, the consequences will inevitably be disastrous."

Chen Xi looked at the old man on the stage with gratitude. He didn't expect that Rogers would actually speak for him.

"My dear colleagues, I have seen the rapid development of the e-commerce industry in this land, and I am very puzzled by this. So far, no place has promoted this business model on a large scale. Let us imagine that in this model, information is highly transparent, and prices are updated in real time, just like exchanges in the game world. At first glance, this seems to be an excellent solution to improve efficiency and promote fair competition. However, just like players in the game over-rely on exchanges for fast transactions, resulting in excessive concentration of resources on price competition, which may eventually lead to chaos in market order." Rogers took games as an example. Although many bigwigs have never played online games, they still understand what he meant.

He continued: "In such an environment, every participant is eager to attract customers by lowering prices. The price war is getting more and more intense, and the profit margin is constantly compressed until it reaches a critical point. At this time, we will no longer face simple market competition, but the edge of economic ecological collapse. In order to survive, companies have to sacrifice long-term development strategies and pursue short-term sales growth. Innovation capabilities are severely suppressed and market vitality is gradually disappearing. In contrast, I prefer to miss and advocate a more traditional yet intelligent way of market transactions, like the old model of using coins to set up stalls. This model encourages innovation, attaches importance to quality and service, and allows the market to return to the essence of value creation and sharing. It requires companies to compete not only on price..."

The situation Rogers used as an example is like online games. Why do many online games now only take a few months or even weeks from launch to closure?

It is not only because of krypton gold and other issues, but the most important is the collapse of the in-game market. You know, the fast pace will accelerate the collapse of a system. The use of exchanges in the game is similar to the current e-commerce. However, the most fatal thing about e-commerce is that you can check the historical prices and the usual transaction prices, which has intensified the escalation of price wars.

When the market in the game collapses and buying and selling can no longer be carried out, some people will abandon the game. After all, there are still many studios that come to make money.

This is one of the reasons why a large number of games in China become ghost servers shortly after their release, and that is because they ignore the economic system.

The development centered on cheap goods, stimulating consumption, and fast transactions is destroying the entire market. In the short term, the market economy is on the rise, but after a long time, it begins to weaken rapidly.

Everyone is competing for the lowest price, so they need to improve productivity, but the market is so small that it can't be consumed. This leads to more and more things, and the cost of opening a factory production line starts at millions. There are so many factories in the country, and the result is predictable.

"In terms of development level, we in the West developed earlier and are more developed. But we don't promote e-commerce in our country, not because our technology is not up to standard, but because we don't need this method to stimulate the economy, because if this model runs for a long time, the effect may be worse. Next, I will talk about other aspects. Most countries will restrict foreign investment. This is a protection measure for domestic companies and economies. I can understand this very well. Now due to the impact of the financial crisis, the economies of many Western countries have not recovered yet. So they relaxed their policies and began to open the door to investors from other countries. One of the purposes of my coming here is to invest here. Of course, I will also help some people invest abroad. I will set up a..." Rogers began to advertise his business.

He also pointed out the problems and limitations in our securities market. This old man was very smart. He had learned from Wang Qiansui what words he couldn't say that would cause resentment. So he tried to avoid any content that would infringe on the interests of certain departments.

"It turns out that this guy came to the meeting with ideas." Zhao Lingshan suddenly realized.

"If he wants to make money in another country, he must make full use of his fame and speak on stage. It is indeed a good way to get recognition from others before doing things." Chen Xi nodded slightly. He felt that there was nothing wrong with Rogers' approach.

Then he turned his head and looked at Feng Jialun and said, "Brother Feng, the business that Rogers wants to do conflicts with you. Aren't you afraid of competition?"

"What are you afraid of? Why should we compete? We can definitely cooperate." Feng Jialun said with a smile.

"It seems like you have already made a deal."

"Doing business requires an opportunity. You can't just go to someone's company and talk a lot to close the deal..." Feng Jialun started the education mode again. He really wanted to cultivate this young man.

Chen Xi agreed with his words. Some people went to the client and talked for hours, but still failed to close the deal. Some people played a game of ball with the client and closed the deal. The difference between the two lies in the method and opportunity.

What people talk about is often not just business, but personal relationships.

"What do you think about foreign investors coming to our country to grab the market and us going abroad to grab the market?" Feng Jialun suddenly asked.

"That depends on the specific situation. The nature of the war is crucial. If an aggressive war cannot be won quickly, it will basically be dragged into the quagmire of war. It can't win, and it can't escape. In the end, it's all about negotiations... Just look at what Soros did in Hong Kong and you'll understand."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be a strategist. What if we take the route of slow erosion?" Feng Jialun looked at Chen Xi differently.

"Then you have to maintain good relations with the other party, under the slogan of peaceful coexistence and harmonious development... But after all, you are doing business in someone else's place. If the other party does not insist on fair competition and directly cuts off the business, then you will have no way to deal with it..."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"That's interesting. Investing abroad is better than investing in the country!"

"We are fighting to the death here, so we might as well go and conquer markets in other countries."

The CEOs in the audience all brightened up after hearing Rogers' words.

Especially Feng Yun, he had long wanted to develop overseas markets, and Lin Xi beside him was the tool he found to help him expand overseas.

However, Feng Yun doesn't like to cooperate with other bosses. What he values ​​is to have absolute control, which has led to conflicts with many corporate CEOs in China.

You can find a foreigner similar to Rogers to cooperate with.

Yes, I want to travel around the West.

Feng Yun had already come up with a new idea at this time. He silently glanced at Lin Xi next to him, but the other party was still completely unaware.

At this moment, the conference is rapidly transmitting information through live broadcasts on television and the Internet.

Xinlu City.

"Fuck, Brother Xi is on TV."

"Really? I said it's right to follow Brother Xi. Look at him giving orders in front of so many big guys. He's really impressive."

"When Brother Xi becomes rich, we will be the founding fathers of the country."

Several of Chen Xi's friends were relaxing in the bathhouse, watching the news on TV, and they were all very excited.

In a hotel, Xu Yun was lying on a big bed, watching the live broadcast on TV and leisurely eating a banana.

She picked up her phone and made a call, saying, "Haha, I've always been very accurate in judging men. This Chen Xi really has a promising future. Take back the resources invested in those idiots. I'm going to start betting..."

A financial newspaper in Xinlu.

"Zhang Xuan, prepare today's content. The title is, a mysterious young man talked about the direction of reform at a financial conference, which put Feng Yun in a dilemma... Make the photo bigger."

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Xuan took the materials handed over by the president and replied casually.

She is about to marry Chen Yifeng and is no longer interested in staying in this shabby newspaper office.

Oh my god, isn’t this that guy… Why is he on the news?

Zhang Xuan picked up the materials and clenched her fists after seeing the photos on them.

No, the better this boy is, the more he will be liked by Chen Yifeng. This will be the biggest threat to me in the future. The child I give birth to...

Zhang Xuan was determined to get rid of Chen Xi.

Huajing, the headquarters of the Overseas Chinese Association.

"It seems that both the president and vice president went to attend the financial conference, but why did we only see the vice president speaking on the stage? Where is the president?" A good-looking girl asked with her head tilted. She is one of Chen Xi's die-hard fans.

"The president doesn't like to be in the spotlight. You have to know that all the people sitting at the conference are big shots. Do you think it's appropriate for young people like us to speak on the stage?" Another girl spoke up to defend Lin Xi.

Now in the association, Chen Xi, Lin Xi and Xu Yun all have supporters.

Of course, most of those who support Xu Yun are boys, as the saying goes, opposites attract and likes repel.

"When the vice president went up to speak, why didn't he mention that he was from the Overseas Returnees Association? Did he think that this association would lose his people?" Someone raised a soul-searching question, trying to stir up trouble.

"It's such a big financial meeting. What if I say too much and cause trouble for the association? The vice president must be keeping quiet for the good of the association."

"It's better not to go up and tell them, so there won't be any trouble."

"Why are you so unreasonable?"

"Yesterday, the vice president said in the group that he would cooperate with the Tianya Forum. As far as I know, the president didn't know about this at all. He made his own decision."

"How did you know this news? How come I didn't know? You obviously made it up. I also said that the association wanted to cooperate with Aba Aba, but the vice president didn't know about it yet!"

"You just want to see how handsome the vice president is, you brainless fan."

"Nonsense, I'm just being realistic. Your motive of trying to sow discord among the people in the association is, in my opinion, an ulterior motive. Are you an undercover sent by another association?"

"That makes sense. Isn't there a Dahua New Returnees Association? I heard that some places in China have also started Returnees Associations recently, but the scale is relatively small. They must be jealous of the scale of our association..."

"You... you are talking nonsense. Anyway, I support the president. Only President Lin can lead the association to the top. Isn't the purpose of joining the association to obtain more resources..."

"How about a bigger vision and more resources? I'm not a poor overseas student like you. My family is the richest in the local area, so I don't lack any resources. I joined the association for a bigger ideal, do you understand..."

There was a temporary disagreement within the Returned Overseas Chinese Association.

The quarrel between these girls was secretly recorded and quickly spread in the group. Those who supported Chen Xi were generally international students from wealthy families who had their own ideals. Those who supported Lin Xi were mostly ordinary international students with average economic conditions who were thinking about their future after graduation.

However, there are exceptions. Some people have good conditions, but they have the same idea as Linxi, using the Overseas Returnees Association as a tool to make money.

In fact, these are not big problems. Everyone’s family is different, so it is normal to have different ideas.

However, the reason why the Overseas Returnees Association can be legally recognized is because the higher-ups require them to take the right path.

If we follow Linxi's development path, then what is the difference between this association and other organizations?

Is there still a need for it to exist?

Few people have ever thought about this question.

"I'm so angry! These guys must be instigated by someone to target the vice president everywhere." Half an hour later, the girl who had just spoken for Chen Xi was making coffee in the tea room, still complaining angrily.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to support the vice president so much. You don't want to be his girlfriend, do you? Why don't you confess to her in person?" The girl next to her who had a better relationship with her sneered.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just admire the vice president. Besides, why should we be together if we like someone? It would be enough if I can just watch him from afar and support him silently from behind..."

"You are sick and need treatment. You are a nymphomaniac."

"Go to hell, how dare you make fun of me. There are more and more people in this association now. In the past, it had to be reviewed and only by invitation could you enter. Now the restrictions have been relaxed, and all kinds of people can join the Overseas Returnees Association. If this continues, management will become a problem in the future. When there are more people, there will be more ideas."

"That's right. Originally everyone lived in harmony, but now people are secretly forming cliques in the association. Sigh, I thought that international students were a big family, but now it seems that it is not as beautiful as I imagined."

"I still think the vice president's idea is correct. The Overseas Returnees Association cannot attract people to join by offering benefits, otherwise it will be the same as the Chamber of Commerce. We should be positive and promote the spirit of mutual assistance and building the motherland."

"You are too idealistic. Everyone has selfish desires. We are students now, and what we think is not realistic. Many people in the association have already graduated and are experienced people who have been struggling in society. All they want is money and power..."

The two girls sighed and worried about the future development of the association.

What they don’t know is that the seeds of the future crisis of the Overseas Returnees Association were actually planted from the moment it was established. (End of this chapter)
