Chapter 241 One Hundred Million (2)

If you want to solve the economic problem, you have to let everyone here get a job.

Why is Africa poor?Year-round wars are of course the most important factor. The more unsafe the place, the fewer people are willing to come here to invest and do business. Moreover, because of the extreme poverty and the poor security environment, many people think that coming here to do business is a waste of time. There is no security, so it is really not easy to find a job in Africa.

Chen Ming saw with his own eyes that the edible oil here is not sold by the pot, but in a small plastic bag about the thickness of a finger. The small bag is sold for about one or two yuan. It is enough for an African family to use for several days. This is a change to some domestic families who prefer heavy oil for cooking, that is, one or two meals.

In order to solve this kind of poverty problem, we can only find a way to provide jobs for the local people. Civilian jobs are definitely not suitable. Chen Ming searched for some information and consulted some local people, and finally decided to open a daily necessities factory.

The labor costs here are very low, and they cannot do difficult occupations. In addition, many African countries are very short of daily necessities. Opening a daily necessities factory should be a good solution.

Buying land and building factories, the construction process alone has brought a lot of jobs to the local area. Although there are many engineering companies from other countries here, what Chen Ming pursues is not high efficiency, so he tries to recruit local companies as much as possible. People come to be workers, and only technicians are hired from other companies.

"Mr. Chen, are you sure you want to produce shoes here?"

Liu Ting has always admired her boss's philanthropic behavior, but she still doesn't understand why she went all the way to this remote country in Africa to build a school and build a factory.

Even if you want to do good deeds, don't you just need to donate money? Why do you have to make yourself live so hard?You know, the hotel here is really hard to describe
Chen Ming nodded, "Well, the labor wages here are very low. The cost of producing daily necessities here is low, so the price can be very cheap. It shouldn't be too difficult to open up a market."

"But can the quality of the shoes produced in this way be guaranteed? Moreover, our company has never been involved in these industries before, nor has it mastered any technology."

Liu Ting's worry is not unreasonable. It sounds like shoes don't have too much technical content, but why are some brands so expensive while others are cheap?
In addition to the brand premium, the quality and comfort of the shoes are very important. The shoes bought on the street stalls are indeed cheap, but the quality is usually not very good. There is no problem wearing the brand shoes for two or three years, and the street stalls may wear them. It's been glued for two months.

Chen Ming wore that kind of cheap shoes a lot when he was a child, and he has a deep understanding of it. At that time, his family was poor, so he could only afford that kind of cheap shoes. A pair of shoes cost 30 yuan, and they looked pretty good when they bought them. In fact, after wearing it for a short time, the upper of the shoe is deformed in various ways, and the sole may be glued when it encounters rainy weather. Even if it is not wet, children are more active, and they may rot after running a lot.

"I've thought about this issue. In fact, we don't need to worry too much. We just have low production costs, and we don't mean to cut corners to produce defective products. We have never done this industry before, but we can hire knowledgeable experts. As long as we are producing When the quality is controlled, I believe it will not be too bad.”

"But this kind of shoes is not a brand. Do we have to spend a lot of money on advertising in the future to promote our brand?"

Chen Ming said with a smile: "Of course not. Don't think that people you know are all after brands when buying shoes and clothes. In fact, they are only a few people after all. There are still many people who don't look at brands when buying things. In many rural areas in China, there are also The per capita income in many countries is not high, and it is impossible for them to consider the thousand-dollar shoes you usually wear.”

"We don't need to advertise, as long as the quality is good, and the price is low and affordable, then we don't have to worry about not being able to sell!"

Of course, Chen Ming has thought about the problem of sales. Not only has he thought about it, but he has also consulted with experts in this field. There are many countries in the world that are still struggling on the poverty line. It's a good thing for them if it's comfortable to wear and won't rot soon after buying it.

Chen Ming has already asked people to start contacting agents in many low-income countries. Not only did they not ask them for agency fees, but he also paid for them to open stores. The price can be set very low, as long as those distributors get a proper profit, the factory does not need to consider the profit issue, and it is enough to ensure that it does not lose money.

He plans to expand the scale of this kind of "specialty store" in the future. As long as it can be done, it can be turned into a similar small store, not only shoes, but also clothes and various other daily necessities. Its selling point is its high quality and low price.

He believes that this method will definitely bring a lot of jobs to Africa!
Seeing that he was so confident, Liu Ting had no choice but to say nothing.

In the evening, it was supposed to be bedtime, but Liu Ting was still sitting in front of her laptop, making a video call.

On the other side of the screen is Li Menglin.

"Mr. Li, you are right. Mr. Chen does have a faint sense of urgency now. It gives me the feeling that he is particularly unwilling to wait for anything. He will do it immediately when he thinks of it, and he does not consider the consequences. Mr. Chen did not want to do anything before." The idea of ​​coming to Africa to do charity seems to have suddenly appeared overnight, without any warning.”

Liu Ting recounted the original conversation with Chen Ming today, and at the same time expressed her own opinion at the end.

This is Li Menglin's request to her. As the person who has been with Chen Ming, she has seen and heard the most, so whether it is right or not, her thoughts are very important, not to mention that she is an expert in this field. Even if it is wrong, at least it can give Li Menglin a little hint.

Li Menglin nodded lightly, did not answer Liu Ting's words, but ordered: "Recently observe more carefully, especially pay attention to whether Mr. Chen shows any discomfort, including his sleep quality and daily mental state. Notice."

"understand!"

After the video call ended, Li Menglin closed the computer screen and said to the people around her: "You all heard it, tell me what you think!"

Next to her, sat Gao Xue, Zhang Feng, Wang Han, Fang Fang, and even Chen Lu.

Judging by the faces of the people, it seems that this kind of meeting is not the first time
