Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2277 Market Cultivation

The foreigners who came to Daxia in large numbers were surprised to find, after settling down, that all the high-quality resources in Daxia were either in the hands of the Daxia government or were firmly controlled by a bunch of complicated corporate organizations. Even the high-quality real estate in the city had basically been swept away.

Occasionally there are some high-quality retail shops and factories for sale, and they are basically bought up quickly.

In the past, those overseas companies that had settled in Daxia and had good development in Daxia also recruited these "fellow countrymen", but the number of people recruited was not more than the number of local residents in Daxia. In fact, in many public written examinations, the pass rate of local applicants in Daxia was terrifyingly high.

When the prices of means of production in Daxia began to rise rapidly, the workers' wages also increased at a rapid pace.

With the rapid increase in the high-income population, charges in the service industry are also increasing, and the prices of various service consumption are rising.

But even at a time when many experts and scholars are calling for caution against industrial hollowing out, many enterprises and institutions in underdeveloped provinces and regions have settled down and built factories.

The vast strategic depth is not only the "foundation" for wartime, but also a powerful reservoir for peaceful development.

These underdeveloped areas, like dry land, are madly absorbing the funds overflowing from big cities.

Foreign-funded enterprises and institutions that wanted to invest in Daxia's local cities but found that the competition for investment channels was extremely fierce, when they saw that other underdeveloped provinces and regions in Daxia also had extremely good potential and foundations, they also hurriedly took up the banner of investment and invested in these fourth- and fifth-tier cities and towns.

Cartier, a top luxury brand founded in the 19th century, is world-renowned for its unparalleled creativity and exquisite craftsmanship. Its "Love" series and "Destinée" series are the first choice of many young people. It has never opened stores in fourth- and fifth-tier cities in China.

But now, Cartier has not only deeply rooted in the first- and second-tier cities in China, but has also extended its tentacles to the fourth- and fifth-tier cities, and has actually earned very impressive financial reports.

Tiffany, Buccellati, Hermès, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci... These luxury goods companies that occupy a very high position in the fashion industry have also put aside their high-end and gorgeous decorations and opened exclusive stores in third- and fourth-tier cities.

In order to make local users in Daxia willing to "donate generously", they deliberately recruited quite a number of local designers in Daxia to design local customized products, and openly and legitimately put the local OEM factories in Daxia that they have cooperated with for many years in their corporate profiles, and even proudly stated: "We have cooperated with these local factories in Daxia for many years, and have high-quality production technology and mature production teams, and can provide users with the best products and services..."

However, in this crazy process of opening stores to make money, many local consumers in Daxia have discovered that some of the so-called localized customized products produced by these companies are directly copied or borrowed from mature designs on the Internet and intangible cultural heritage.

People who don’t know the ins and outs of this will be impressed by the “craftsmanship” of these top luxury brands. However, users who know the ins and outs of this will sneer at them and even blacklist the brand.

In this noisy and crowded race, local brands in Daxia have gradually found their own way. Rongbaozhai, Siberian Tiger, Seagull, Longines and some enterprises invested by Jiuzhou Technology have occupied a considerable share in the field of mid-to-high-end and common models for the general public, and the share is gradually expanding.

The revenue of overseas luxury brands is increasing because the overall pie in China is expanding rapidly. With the infusion of global funds, even if the market share is decreasing, the revenue will not decrease.

It’s just that once the tide calms down a little, the importance of share ratio will become apparent.

Enterprises and organizations from all walks of life in Daxia are also struggling to move forward, but the direction of their struggle in the past was to go overseas and earn US dollars, while the direction of their struggle now is to expand their local market share as much as possible...For overseas markets, large enterprises and institutions with sufficiently large funds and talent teams are needed to have the opportunity to carry out multi-party market cultivation.

For small businesses and organizations, going overseas to operate now is actually risky.

The Daxia officials have long been aware of this special phenomenon. As managers, in addition to frequently communicating with technology manufacturing companies such as Jiuzhou Technology, BYD, Xiaxin Technology, and DJI, they also communicate with corporate organizations and outstanding individual businesses in industries such as agriculture, handicrafts, and services.

There have been many changes in the management policies adopted. The previous support projects for foreign investment are decreasing year by year, while the support for local industries is increasing year by year, and some new support projects are added every half a year.

Many places shouted slogans such as "cultivate another Jiuzhou Technology", "become the next Rongcheng City", "revitalize the country through science and education! Revitalize the city through industry" in internal meetings.

Especially for college students' entrepreneurship, many cities including Chengdu have shown a special excitement. Two-year tax exemption and free expert guidance are commonly used tools. Basically, some outstanding representative enterprises of college students' entrepreneurship are selected every year and cash rewards are given. The government will personally help communicate with cooperation channels.

Even Jiuzhou Technology has targets to complete every year and must support and select outstanding entrepreneurial projects from university students.

Regarding these changes, Gu Qing has also heard many managers say: "This is a waste of resources and energy." He did not refute it, but still maintained a supportive attitude.

In order to really help these entrepreneurial college students, Gu even opened up [Xiezhi] and some office software used internally by Jiuzhou Technology for authorized use, so that those dynamic entrepreneurial teams that have passed the [Xuanwu] screening can use these office software and AI programs, reduce trivial work, and devote more energy to product research and development and business operations.

During this process, Jiuzhou Technology's investment department has also become the "three good representatives" in the industry, only giving money and not interfering in management. At the same time, it can also help communicate and allocate resources, and can also take responsibility when faced with some special problems.

Some universities almost treat Jiuzhou Technology as a "board of directors", and even deliberately ignore the fact that these universities are training students for Jiuzhou Technology's projects and have completely become Jiuzhou Technology training stations...
