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

"It seems that many people disagree with what Lao Chen said." Liang Zhang sighed.

"There's nothing we can do. It's just the trend of the times." Chen Xi shrugged.

"Boy Chen, I see you didn't even bring a piece of paper. Aren't you going to go up and say a few words? I still remember your last speech. Leaders really like to listen to words from young people like you. We old guys are just playing Tai Chi, and what we say is vague, just trying to smooth things over." Zhong Liangliang on the side looked curiously at the bare table in front of Chen Xi.

"It depends on the situation. Someone has to take the lead in saying something unpleasant, otherwise how dare I speak." Chen Xi glanced at Feng Yun in the distance.

"You are more cunning than your father. You want to get someone to attract fire first, right? Hahaha." How could a veteran like Zhong Liangliang not know what Chen Xi was thinking.

"No, no, Old Chen has already absorbed a wave of firepower, hehe." Chen Xi smiled.

"You two father and son are really interesting. How can a son call his father like that?" Zhong Liangliang didn't know much about their family.

"We're having a big meeting today, and everyone is calling him General Manager. It doesn't seem right to call him General Manager Chen." Chen Xi laughed.

After Chen Yifeng did this, some entrepreneurs dared not speak and hid the manuscripts they had prepared. They were not stupid and did not want to offend people from other industries.

In fact, the leaders did not quite agree with Chen Yifeng’s remarks just now.

Development requires economic income, and the Internet is undoubtedly a great tool for making money. Everything has its pros and cons. The pros should be realized as soon as possible, and the cons... will be left to future generations to solve.

The next speaker is a CEO of an IT company: "The speeches of several colleagues just now are extremely brilliant and have inspired me deeply. But here, I would like to put forward a point that may be unpleasant to the ear, but is crucial. We have always been learning from other countries and crossing the river by feeling the stones. This strategy has indeed helped us achieve great success in the past. However, with the continuous development of the domestic economy and the profound changes in the social structure, we have to face a reality, that is, when we develop to a certain level, we need to rely more on ourselves to explore a development path that suits our national conditions.

We have introduced technology, management models and even economic theories from the West, which have undoubtedly accelerated our modernization process. But as the ancients said, "Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines." The historical background, cultural traditions and social structure of each country are unique. Therefore, when we stand at a new historical starting point and face a more complex and changing domestic and international environment, simply copying the experience of other countries is no longer enough to support our long-term development...

There are many Internet companies now, more than in most countries. So we should give full play to our advantages and engage in big data analysis and artificial intelligence..."

The bosses present were all confused.

They all understand big data analysis, but this artificial intelligence seems a little unrealistic.

In fact, artificial intelligence was proposed a long time ago.

Many universities have been studying this subject.

But for most people, artificial intelligence is nothing more than something from science fiction movies.

Although Chen Xi was reborn, he also had some understanding of it.

Today's artificial intelligence, when spoken by this boss, is nothing more than a hype concept.

In the years to come, there will actually be many products on the market claiming to be AI, such as smart robots, smart watches, etc., but most of them will just become toys that parents buy to accompany their children.

At present, the stuff that is being developed in China is actually used to make money in the stock market. What is AI? In the end, it is probably just a thing to push advertisements.

Chen Xi just shook his head after hearing this.

"Boy Chen, look, who is speaking now." Just as Chen Xi was thinking about the problem, Zhong Liangliang next to him reminded him.

Chen Xi turned his head and saw that it was Feng Yun.

At this time, Feng Yun also looked at him and winked at him.

"Oh, I came to the meeting today, and it's completely different from Wulin. The sky is gray everywhere, which makes me very surprised and excited. I have never been so excited." Feng Yun's words made the entrepreneurs look confused, and even the leaders on the stage didn't know what he wanted to express. After a few seconds, Feng Yun said again: "Why am I so excited? That's because we always emphasized the problems of water, air, and food safety in the past, but no one ever paid attention. Because there are some special people, they have their own special water and special food, and this time they can't have special air because of the smog outside. I believe that those special people are breathing the same air as us today."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the leaders on the stage instantly turned gloomy.

"He really dares to say that."

"It's always like this. If you insist on making a big scene, you'll get into trouble sooner or later."

"It's just for the sake of showing off."

The other entrepreneurs had different expressions on their faces, but most of them seemed to be gloating, and some even laughed deliberately to add fuel to the fire.

Feng Yun quickly observed everyone's expressions and said, "Haha, I just made a little joke. What I actually want to say is that the current food safety issues cannot be ignored. Small workshops have been producing food in violation of regulations for many years. From raw material procurement to safe production, to sales, there are actually problems with the control. In order to solve the health problems of our daily food and drink, our Aba Aba Group is going to do a big thing, that is, to launch rural e-commerce. We are in charge of everything from product selection to sales. In addition, we will also sell some daily necessities to rural areas to achieve mutual benefit..."

"Haha, I knew he wanted to promote his own products." A boss who was familiar with Feng Yun's tactics had already guessed this.

Every time Feng Yun speaks sharply in front of the media, he will definitely first belittle others and then put forward his own solution. This is one of his marketing methods.

"You said that every time he said so many things that he shouldn't have said, wouldn't the leader be angry?"

"When you become the best in the industry, you can say that. Now our development depends on e-commerce, so we should just be patient..."

The two bosses on Chen Xi's left and right also started the discussion.

"Boy Chen, what do you think?" Zhong Liangliang asked.

"I don't have any opinion. In fact, no matter what you say, the leaders won't do anything to you, but the premise is that you have to be useful to them. If it's useless, and you keep talking a lot, you will definitely get into trouble."

"Haha, I didn't expect that you can see things so clearly at such a young age." Zhong Liangliang joked.

"Boy Chen, I advise you not to learn from him. If you have something to say, just say it in an obscure way. Those who can understand will naturally understand. For those who can't understand, no matter how much you explain to them, it will be useless..." Liang Zhang reminded again meaningfully.

Chen Xi nodded, but was thinking about something in his mind.

That’s not right. Feng Yun didn’t say these words at this meeting in his previous life, and rural e-commerce was not proposed at this time.

He originally thought Feng Yun was going to say something else, but unexpectedly he changed it to this.

"It's your turn. If you don't want to talk, just skip it." As I was thinking about it, Liang Zhang's voice came to my ears again.

Chen Xi looked around, and in the shocked eyes of the two people on his left and right, he picked up the microphone and said: "Fourteen years ago was an important year. Our economy underwent a historic turning point. From the coastal economic development strategy in the late 5s to the foreign exchange reform, in just a few years we have completely embarked on the road of export-oriented economy. More than a decade ago, the export volume reached trillions of yuan every year. The export-driven rate to the economy was about 45%, and the contribution rate reached about 35%, while the contribution rate of investment to economic growth dropped to %. It can be seen that exports have replaced investment and become the first driving force for our economic growth.

However, the rapid expansion of external demand has an impact, that is, the total supply and demand in the domestic market has reversed. Many years ago, in order to cope with the failure of price breakthrough, we took measures to abandon rural domestic demand. The subsequent reforms abandoned urban domestic demand. Although our total demand still increased, the growth rate has declined year after year. During the economic overheating in the early 40s, the annual growth rate of fixed asset investment reached nearly %, and the external demand brought by the huge overseas market promoted the rapid expansion of our production capacity. The growth rate of production capacity is much greater than the growth rate of domestic demand. In fact, many economists at that time found that the shortage characteristics of our economy are gradually disappearing, and the characteristics of the buyer's market are gradually emerging.

In other words, we have just bid farewell to the era of material shortages and immediately entered the era of overcapacity. The shortage of supply has suddenly turned into oversupply. The reversal of the total supply and demand will cause structural contradictions, intensify market competition, and make business operations increasingly difficult.

Normally, changes in supply and demand will drive changes in economic structure and system. However, as we are rapidly expanding in the international market, a large number of products are sold overseas. This not only offsets the contradiction of oversupply in China, but also continues to expand production capacity at a very fast pace.

International capital and multinational corporations are in the process of transformation to financial capital. Since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the US dollar is no longer linked to gold and has begun to adopt a floating exchange rate monetary and financial policy. European and American countries have begun to maintain actual consumption by increasing net capital mobility, and industries have shifted to developing countries, but the value created by capital has continued to flow back to developed countries.

In order to obtain more capital gains, developed countries rely on power to incorporate developing countries into the core-semi-periphery-periphery structure, which is the world system theory. (The core area is the most developed, industrialized and wealthy countries. The semi-periphery is the moderately wealthy and economically diverse countries, and the periphery is the countries with a narrow economic foundation such as agriculture and mining.) Developed countries try every means to deceive developing countries with market liberalization and financial liberalization, so that international capital and multinational groups can flow into developing countries without restrictions and obstacles to seize strategic resources.

However, they usually only pursue short-term interests and will not hold on to them for too long. They will slip away after extracting enough profits or encountering economic fluctuations. Under this model, the degree of exploitation of developing countries by developed countries far exceeds the level in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, the international community had undergone tremendous changes, while our political and economic environment was quite stable, industrial capital was expanding rapidly, and it was becoming more and more open, which made it the best place for international capital transfer.

The proportion of general trade in the total trade can reflect the level of a country's industrial structure. The higher this value is, the stronger the added value, innovation ability and competitiveness of the products are. According to the smile curve theory, the highest added value is R&D and sales, and processing and manufacturing are the lowest added value. The industries transferred out by multinational groups are basically the lowest-end assembly and processing, and they have the high added value in their own hands. They responded to the call of developing countries and went to invest and build factories. The wages of workers are many times cheaper than in their own countries, and there is no need to worry about environmental pollution. In the end, the products and profits are shipped back to developed countries. Developing countries use high interest rates and low currency values ​​to attract Western financial capital, and they are afraid that foreign capital will not come. We even offer special preferential treatment to attract them.

There are of course benefits to doing this. We have achieved rapid development and our total exports have also grown rapidly. However, this growth is unstable. For several years, the proportion of general trade exports has begun to decline, while the general trade exports of foreign-funded enterprises have increased significantly. This means that state capital has gradually controlled our high value-added industries and exports.

But these are nothing, they are just the inevitable path for developing countries. A book about the development trend of Asia said that the goal of industrialization is to learn advanced technology and form independent innovation capabilities. This is similar to taking out loans to go to college abroad, hahahaha. In fact, in developing countries, the key to judging whether debt, deficit and inflation are reasonable is to see whether the country has achieved technological progress. It doesn't matter if you are engaged in low value-added assembly and processing, and it doesn't matter if international capital takes away Lurun. What matters is technological upgrading. No matter what method is used, whether it is independent research and development, spending money to buy, or exchanging market for technology, the developed countries in the past have all come step by step from low-end manufacturing, relying on technological progress and capital accumulation.

I saw many people saying on the Internet that if you can't create, then import. But they have never thought that using imports instead of foreign capital is far worse than directly introducing foreign capital, because developed countries can use tariff barriers or administrative measures and other methods to make your products unsalable. Unless you can make technological breakthroughs despite blockades and sanctions, or you have a large enough domestic market to support it.

The global financial crisis has caused a large number of factories to close down, a large number of companies to lose orders, and the goods piled up in warehouses cannot be converted into cash. This has reminded us that the current overcapacity has reached a certain level. If overseas markets cannot absorb the goods we produce, and the domestic market is also the same, then more companies will go bankrupt.

In recent years, many companies have started to adopt low-price strategies. They all want to do what KFC does, reducing costs by improving the supply chain, thereby defeating competitors. By constantly merging competitors, they have become leading companies in the industry. Other companies are stealing and leaking information, falsifying financial reports and reaping huge profits in the capital market. Some bosses even borrow billions of dollars at any time.

I studied abroad, and I met many bosses who came from China. They were much richer than the richest man in China. Immigration is popular now. What if these rich people move all their money overseas, and then their companies reap the profits in the mainland? "When Chen Xi said this, many bosses looked unhappy, but there were more who supported him, and they all secretly gave him a thumbs up.

In fact, the outflow of local funds is something that no country wants to see. Western countries have strict controls in this regard. In addition to special methods, using funds is a better legal way to get funds in and out. However, those bosses use other methods to transfer funds, and the result is that not a penny will be left.

"Mr. Chen, your remarks just now have already been very offensive. I didn't expect that the new generation will outstrip the old generation." The Xu family said with some gloating.

"What's the big deal? Today is the Domestic Future Development Conference, so of course we should say whatever we want to say. If everyone is vague and tries to suck up to the leaders, then this meeting will be in vain." Chen Yifeng answered expressionlessly, but he was actually very annoyed at the moment.

"It's not exciting enough. Not as exciting as mine!" Feng Yun muttered to himself as he listened to the young man's speech, with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Just now we were talking about loans. The amount of money that some bosses borrowed from banks is an astronomical figure, but what if they can't pay back the money? Will the bank have a huge hole to fill? I have watched a TV series before. At that time, the money houses in the Qing Dynasty used silver bills, which could naturally be exchanged for silver. There is a plot in the play. Due to a certain sudden incident, the public's trust in the money houses dropped sharply, and they flocked to the money houses to exchange for silver. Faced with such a huge exchange demand, the actual silver inventory of the money houses obviously could not meet it. At this time, the shopkeeper of the money house was quick-witted and arranged for a carriage loaded with seemingly real fake silver, which frequently went in and out of the back door of the money house, creating the illusion that the money house had sufficient cash, thereby dispelling the public's doubts. But this was in ancient times. Now you can see a bank almost every few steps, and the number of banks is astronomical. If one day, if the bank is out of money, and a large number of people want to withdraw money, they will definitely not do it like in the TV series, but will find other excuses..." Chen Xi said again as Feng Yun finished speaking.

This time, the bank boss present looked unhappy.

Feng Yun secretly clenched his fist and shouted in his heart: "Okay!"

Xu Jia, who had just been teasing Chen Yifeng, was sweating profusely, as if his little secret had been discovered.

Most bosses of listed companies are extremely angry.

Chen Xi paused and continued, "Although we are developing rapidly now, any measures will have negative effects. Many excellent projects are controlled by Chinese enterprises, which has led to the stagnation of privatization reform. Fiscal investment will have a crowding-out effect on private investment, and Chinese enterprises' investment in competitive fields is often not very effective. From another perspective, some wrong investments will further suppress the enthusiasm of private investment in the form of tax increases. Who will do business when the investment environment deteriorates?

Once this high-investment, high-consumption model is suddenly interrupted by unknown strange factors, it will definitely cause... In Asia, there are actually many regions that are rising and similar to ours. If others also offer OEM preferential conditions that are lower than ours, will those multinational groups invest in them? Once they withdraw their investment, we...

Another question is the issue of profit. The main profit now is profit multiplication. There is a layer of profit in every link from raw materials to end products. Regardless of whether the product is sold in the end, it has been profited. If the economy fluctuates, profit will be reduced, thereby reducing corporate costs and allowing factories to expand production to increase profit base.

The main source of revenue for some Western countries such as Australia is consumer revenue. If the products cannot be sold, no revenue will be collected. Therefore, every effort will be made to promote consumption, because only when the products are sold can the companies make money and revenue will increase. If the proliferation of revenue becomes the main type of tax, it will determine that we will be a production-oriented society, not a consumption-oriented society...

Now young people in remote areas have gone to work in cities, and remote areas are facing serious problems of population aging. The urban consumer market is increasingly prosperous, while the rural market is gradually marginalized, and the overall economic structure is balanced and coordinated..." Chen Xi looked at Feng Yun after he finished speaking.

Hey, I’m more powerful than you said!

If the leaders found Chen Xi’s previous words acceptable, their subsequent words made them look a little unhappy.

However, this does not mean that there is something wrong with what Chen Xi said, but rather that they are thinking about how the future should develop?
It's like a car that has been driven to its limit. It seems unrealistic to ask it to suddenly make a sharp turn or brake suddenly.

"I don't know what the unknown strange factor you just mentioned means." A leader couldn't help but ask.

"Well...it's hard to explain. Anyway, it's a mysterious force, such as natural disasters and man-made calamities." Chen Xi laughed.

Chen Xi's words are actually different from Feng Yun's, which can be regarded as praising first and then criticizing. It not only affirms the previous development, but also points out the future crisis.

As for how to adjust it, that is not something he can influence. The leaders will have to hold a meeting later to make a decision.

Little did they know that at this moment there was a young leader on the stage looking at Chen Xi and Feng Yun with great interest.

"He dares to say anything. Which company does that guy belong to? How come I have never heard of him?" After the meeting, many bosses looked at Chen Xi.

"Who knows, it seems to be a study abroad pass."

"You became the chairman at such a young age?"

"That's not surprising. Times are changing and it's not uncommon for young people to become big bosses."

"He talks just like Feng Yun. He doesn't know how to restrain himself at all." Several bosses who were making a fortune in the stock market and planning to transfer their assets said indignantly.

"Our efficiency is not high? We are one of the Fortune 500 companies."

"That's right. Our Chinese companies all control important industries. We don't even know how much our annual income is. You really know how to brag." The bosses of several Chinese companies were even more unhappy. They all looked at Chen Xi with unfriendly eyes.

"This is all nonsense. How can a bank have no money? It's ridiculous."

"That's right. There are so many banks in the country, and the amount of money they can take out is astronomical." Several bank presidents said with forced calmness.

Chen Xi's remarks just now completely ridiculed some of the people present.

"Leader, Feng Yun just said that he wanted to develop rural e-commerce. Do you want to talk to him?" The young man who appeared in the parking lot earlier asked in a low voice.

"What's there to talk about? Let him do it first and see how things go." The middle-aged man raised his eyelids, not wanting to avoid the discussion on this topic.

At this time, Feng Yun also walked up to Chen Xi and said, "Chen kid, I didn't expect you to be so bold and say that you actually have opinions about Chinese companies. Hahaha. But then again, why did you suddenly talk about rural issues later?"

"How dare I say anything? Today is the Future Development Conference, so of course I will say whatever I want to say. Rural issues have always been something that cannot be ignored, so I will definitely say something about this. But Mr. Feng, you are still so shocking, and you don't even hide your feelings when you speak. Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"

"I'm not afraid of a damn thing. Let me tell you, I've worked in all kinds of jobs before. I even worked in the economic and trade department, but I was badly cheated back then..." Feng Yun used his catchphrase and told Chen Xi about his past without any concealment.

In fact, these entrepreneurs are also human beings. Although they appear polite on TV, they swear a lot in private. Chen Xi and Chen Yifeng are no exception.

"Mr. Feng, your e-commerce business is doing well, but why are you suddenly trying to engage in rural e-commerce? I think it's a bit unreliable." Chen Xi smiled, but still wanted to remind the other party.

"Why is it unreliable? I think it is very reliable. There are some things you young people just don't dare to do. What's the point of simulating business with your brain every day? From my experience of starting a business till now, if you don't try, you will never know whether you can succeed."

"That makes sense. I'm keeping an eye on you!"

Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Chen Xi could only smile.

At this time, Chen Yifeng was standing at the entrance of the venue with an expressionless face. He looked at the people pouring out, thought for a while, and walked to the side.

What is this brat doing? He doesn’t want to learn anything else but that Feng Yun.

What nonsense are you talking about in such a big meeting? If someone gets on my mind, won't it affect me? (End of this chapter)
