Chapter 463 Brand
Fan Liancheng finished eating.
After politely speaking, wipe your hands, you will continue to sit there, waiting for the other party to express their intentions.
If it were Samsung Electronics, Samsung Securities, or Samsung Products, Fan Liancheng would not be too surprised. However, the vice president of a construction company came to visit... Thinking of this, he felt that he might have thought too much, and it was a coincidence that he might have met.
Even if South Korea is one of the developed countries, due to its market size, the ceiling of corporate development is still very obvious. Samsung Group undoubtedly seized the opportunity and achieved the ultimate strength of its ability to grow, raising the ceiling up again and again.
The Fan family has undoubtedly lagged much behind Samsung when they started their business. However, Fan Liancheng's total value is three or four times that of the richest man in South Korea, which is mainly determined by the market size.
The reason for resolutely returning from London to develop was also to see that the mainland economy has huge potential for growth, and emerging economies mean many opportunities. However, the ultra-high economic growth during the period was something he did not expect. It can only be said that he had a chance to hit the fortune and today came to this day.
The vice president standing at the door is probably in his fifties. As a deputy senior executive among many subsidiaries of the group, his status is quite high and low, at least compared with Fan Liancheng, there is nothing outstanding.
I just said hello to each other, and after saying a few polite words, I quickly said goodbye and left after I had the opportunity to work together.
Fan Liancheng didn't take this seriously.
Naturally, I couldn't guess that the other party thought he was planning to come to South Korea to develop a real estate project, so he was going to make friends in advance to see if he could continue to come to Fan Liancheng to make a living after retirement from his current position.
Even if it doesn't work, just knowing Fan Liancheng and saying a few words can be considered a topic of conversation after dinner.
......
In the afternoon, I wore a hat and mask and wandered around the streets of Myeongdong where all the shopping malls gathered.
I specially kept my stomach and tasted some street snacks.
Since this time, no detailed itinerary was planned in advance, Fan Liancheng was quite casual and walked aimlessly along the street, scrambled among the crowd to watch the girl group roadshow. He also bought some gadgets, which cost a lot of money.
After the initial freshness passed, and Fan Liancheng was still traveling alone, he soon lost interest and asked his subordinates to contact the president of a game company and visit him in person.
The living assistant did not come and brought a secretary who had obtained a graduate degree from Seoul University. He was called here only if he could be a translator. He was a young girl with a round face named Zhou Xiao.
Secretary Zhou Xiao was sitting in the passenger seat at this time, turned around and asked Fan Liancheng, saying, "I see that there are several companies on the inspection list. Why don't you arrange a dinner party at night and call them over for a meal? It's too troublesome to conduct inspections one by one. One of them is still in Busan and you have to take a plane over."
"I think it's better to have dinner with a group of strangers who don't understand the language and don't have common topics. I think it's better to go directly to the door. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time and take the opportunity to understand the company's situation."
Fan Liancheng crossed his legs and slept twice in a row. He asked in a puzzled tone: "You have been here for two years, right? I don't think there are any interesting places. Why are there so many tourists coming here to travel all the way?"
"Because there are celebrities, the shopping price is still low. The key is that the money spent on going abroad is probably the same as the cost of traveling in China, and air tickets are very cheap.
I just came here to study a few years ago. At the beginning two days I thought it was very interesting. Later, after seeing it for too much, I was actually that way. I would rather stay in the dormitory than go out. Even if I went out, I would help my relatives and friends to purchase clothes and cosmetics on behalf of others. I have a Chinese classmate who specializes in purchasing agents. Not only did I earn back my living expenses, but I could also subsidize my tuition.
Boss, you don’t care about the money you saved. But the price of a piece of cosmetics and luxury goods is often 30% or 40%. It’s very profitable for purchasing agents to go there. In order to save money, buyers keep looking for purchasing agents. I have several on WeChat, and I can buy any cosmetics and luxury goods."
Zhou Xiao has a big personality. Although he had no contact with Fan Liancheng before, he was mainly responsible for document processing in the secretary's office. He did not treat himself as an outsider. He would just say it if he had the chance.
This is probably why Fan Liancheng thinks that young people in China have swept the concept of status and status into the trash can. In his opinion, it is actually a good thing.
When you go to work, you can do as much money as you pay. There is no need to be humble about a job. They are all independent and free individuals. The pressure on the work atmosphere can be less, making it easier for everyone to get along.
Secretary Zhou Xiao only focused on purchasing agents to save money, but in Fan Liancheng's eyes it means more things. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said:
"People go abroad to shop in large quantities, which means that some policies may be problematic, such as excessive taxes and fees.
In order to protect the domestic automobile industry, the tariffs on imported cars are also high. Those cheap foreign cars cannot be purchased by agents. They can be more convenient for cosmetics and luxury goods, so they can be easily brought back to China through luggage. Since some customers choose to purchase overseas, it should mean that the high tariffs on cosmetics and luxury goods industry are optional, and they can indeed fall down. It is better to lose their trunks than to be blocked."
"Really?! You can submit a proposal next time you go to Sijiu City for a meeting. It would be great if you can buy cheap goods directly, but those purchasing agents may cry to death."
"When the time comes, I think I'm going to set up some duty-free zones and other things. I hope it's quite big. Domestic manufacturers must be successful. In terms of operating brands, it's a bit bad. Why can't they do it if my girlfriend and I succeed?
After Fan Liancheng said that, he thought of the automobile industry again.
There is nothing wrong with protecting independent brands. While setting up high tariffs to protect the domestic automobile industry, we should always provide some domestic high-end cars for consumers to choose from.
The reality is that except for the Hongqi, the special case in China, there is clearly no high-end car brand, but it still charges high tariffs on imported cars, forcing a small number of consumers to only bear a large amount of taxes and fees, which is really unreasonable.
It’s just that the independent research and development is too unsatisfactory. It’s better to put a few more catfish in to stir up the water, forcing some companies to increase their R&D investment, instead of sticking to self-confidence and lying obediently in a comfortable nest.
The reason why Fan Liancheng thinks this is mainly because he has developed to this point and can already start to try to launch an impact from mid- and low-end manufacturing to high-end manufacturing.
But many businessmen are not good at it. Not to mention the semiconductor field, even industries such as cosmetics and luxury goods that have no technology can be killed by others, which is simply embarrassing.
When it comes to making money quickly, they are all experts in making money with small profits, but they lack a little down-to-earth and craftsmanship. Few companies are willing to spend a lot of money on research and development. This is the key point that Fan Liancheng really cares about.
Therefore, I feel that the luxury goods tax should be reduced, so as not to get the top price increase, and instead, it will widen the price difference with the same domestic products, indirectly helping those overseas brands to enhance their brand image...
