Han Songlin arranged for Tang Yan to study with Zheng Lin, and how much she could learn would depend on Tang Yan herself. Tang Yan was quite satisfied with this arrangement.
Knowledge gained from books is always superficial. You must put it into practice to truly understand it.
Everyone understands the theory, but few can put it into practice.
Tang Yan spent the whole summer interning at Xinghai Group; Han Songlin was looking forward to seeing Tang Yan grow in the future.
At this time, Han Songlin's energy was focused on the production of motorcycles at Fuxing Industry.
He thought carefully about the situation of some export enterprises in China in the future, and then discovered that Chinese export enterprises often have one way to seize the market:
price competition!
Yes, it is price competition.
There is an expression on the Internet that as long as a Chinese enterprise enters a field, it can directly drive the price of products in that field to a low price.
The price is cut in half, which is not called a cut in half, it is a direct cut to the root.
The prices set by Chinese companies are lower than the production costs in Europe and the United States. Even at these prices, Chinese companies still make a profit.
It's just that the profit is a bit small.
Next year, in 1996, the first price war between Chinese companies, which was well known to the Chinese public, will begin.
It was started by Changhong, and price wars then became the standard in the Chinese market.
If you want to quickly seize the market, then fight a price war.
This tactic has never failed.
The emergence of price wars has a lot to do with the development of the Chinese market economy.
The appearance of every phenomenon is inevitably a product of social development.
Of course, whether this product is good or bad requires people to judge, and the visible hand is used to regulate the bad things created by the invisible hand, to ensure the safe operation of society.
Han Songlin stood in front of the blackboard in his office and wrote on it the names of the island country's motorcycle company, Lucky Star Industries, and the domestic motorcycle company.
His eyes wandered between the three, and then he drew a circle around the name of the domestic motorcycle company.
At this moment, Han Songlin thought of a word: internalisation!
Internalisation did not only appear in 2021, it had long been reflected in every aspect of the Chinese nation.
It was only in the future that everyone suddenly became aware of it due to the amplification effect of the internet.
Fuxing Industry had achieved success in the Southeast Asian market, so other domestic motorcycle companies would inevitably follow suit.
Island companies are enemies from the start, so there is no need to mention it, and there is no psychological burden, no matter what means are used.
So, what about domestic companies?
Han Songlin sat in the boss's chair, propping his head up, wondering what he was thinking.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Come in!'
He looked up and saw Tang Yan come in, arms akimbo, and after entering the office, she looked here and there.
'You came to my office to inspect it, did you?' Han Songlin said in a bad mood.
Tang Yan pouted and said, 'I came to give you my love!'
Saying this, she took out a watermelon from behind her back and placed it on top of Han Songlin's desk.
She tore some toilet paper off the desk and wiped her hands a little.
Han Songlin looked at the heart-shaped pattern forcibly dug out on the watermelon flesh and knew that only Tang Yan would do such a silly thing.
'Where did you get this melon?'
'Lin bought it.'
Han Songlin picked up the melon and started to eat it. This chilled melon really tasted great in the summer.
Refreshing!
'How do you feel about working in the company?'
'It's pretty good. Usually, there isn't much to do.' Don't look at Xinghai Group as being huge, but in the finance department, there really isn't much to do normally.
Just doing things like auditing.
Xinghai Group has control over its subsidiaries, but it doesn't control them like a leash, otherwise how would the subsidiaries develop?
Han Songlin laughed: 'Hey, everyone wants an easy job with a high salary, and you've got it the other way around!'
Salary? Tang Yan does get paid, Han Songlin personally pays her a daily wage.
She is paid 50 yuan a day, but she has to pay for her own meals and transport.
Tang Yan smiles wryly: 'As you say, young people have to work hard and learn a lot.'
Han Songlin: "Shall I put you in the most difficult job position?'
Seeing Han Songlin's wicked smile, Tang Yan decisively shakes her head: "No, I think I still have a lot to learn from Lin.'
'Since you have decided to go into finance in the future, read more about the policies and regulations in this area in our country, and think about why these policies and regulations were introduced. You studied liberal arts, so you should know that to analyse a problem, you have to put it in its historical context.'
Tang Yan nodded solemnly. For every decision, it is not a problem to say that it is the result of the times.
Of course, the strong can also create and lead the times.
Undoubtedly, in Tang Yan's opinion, Han Songlin has this strength.
'Uncle, what's that you drew on the blackboard?'
Han Songlin casually said, 'the opponents that Fuxing Industry will face in the future.'
Tang Yan pondered slightly, looked at Han Songlin with her gaze, and then stared at the blackboard again. It seemed that she understood.
She remembered that Han Songlin had mentioned before that Fuxing Motors would be exported to Southeast Asia.
And Southeast Asia is now the backyard of island country enterprises.
An industrial transfer is taking place in the island countries, and the main destination of the transfer is now Southeast Asia.
Therefore, if there is an economic crisis in Southeast Asia in the future, it will be very important for China.
There are only three places in the world that can take over the role of an industrial destination: China, Southeast Asia, and India.
We are not considering India at the moment.
China's most direct competitor is Southeast Asia.
It may seem strange, but Southeast Asia is currently our rival in attracting international capital and the major transfer of international industries.
If there is no economic crisis in Southeast Asia, it may really develop.
So it's not a good thing for China.
'Uncle, you're going to fight on two fronts, aren't you?' Tang Yan said, a little surprised. You want both the domestic and foreign markets.
It's very domineering, but Tang Yan likes it.
It should be like this.
Tang Yan naturally knows how strong Xinghai Group really is now that she has access to the core content.
What makes Xinghai Group the strongest is not having an adequate cash flow or anything like that.
It's the technology.
The entire Xinghai Group's pursuit of technology is, in Tang Yan's opinion, somewhat pathological.
This pathological pursuit has ultimately been transformed into a corporate belief.
'Dual-track development? I haven't thought about it yet.'
Han Songlin instinctively feels that if there are too many domestic motorcycle companies, they will cause trouble.
Therefore, first, the domestic motorcycle companies will be directly defeated, and then the companies that can ultimately survive will inevitably be those with technology and management.
Afterwards, they can move towards industry consolidation and face foreign competition together.
However, Han Songlin also felt that this was too idealistic.
