Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

In fact, Greenland Urban Construction Group's own workers are treated very well, and the work clothes are also fully equipped, from hard hats to T-shirts, jackets, and trousers, at least two sets per person.

However, Greenland Urban Construction Group is now building more and more real estate, and its own team is simply too busy, so it gives 80% of the project to the outsourcing team.

The outsourcing team is a direct cooperation between Greenland Urban Construction Group and the contractor, or the construction unit above the contractor. The contractor's project will be checked and accepted every once in a while. After the acceptance, it meets the standards. How much should be paid? As for employee treatment , that is naturally the responsibility of the contractor or the contractor himself, and has nothing to do with Greenland Urban Construction Group.

However, most of the construction units and contractors are weekly pickpockets. They are not in arrears with their employees' wages.

The construction units and contractors don't care about these things, and their workers are relatively frugal, so it appears that everyone wears worse clothes when they work, and there are all kinds of clothes, and there is no uniformity at all.

As an executive of Greenland Urban Construction Group, Zhao Jianliang is naturally very dissatisfied with this situation out of consideration for his group's image.

I just saw that Lu Sifang's team was wearing the same camouflage uniform, and I felt refreshed all of a sudden, so I deliberately pulled him out to be a positive example.

It was only then that Lu Sifang figured out that the co-authorship was not to cause trouble for himself, nor was it for his workers to cause trouble, but to praise himself. He took a long breath and said in his heart: This is very comfortable...

Zhao Jianliang continued: "Look at Xiao Lu's team, how neat and organized they are. Standing here and looking over, although I can't see anyone's face clearly, I feel at ease just seeing them in uniform!"

"And take a look, how eye-catching is the camouflage overalls they chose on the construction site? The tower crane driver can see it clearly. This not only has a good working appearance, but also improves the safety of the construction site!"

Everyone nodded while looking at the half-covered upstairs.

Indeed, this worker in camouflage can be seen at a glance.

However, if you are wearing a gray coat and standing on a concrete construction site, it is really difficult to recognize.

It seems that what Zhao Jianliang said is true. Wearing such camouflage uniforms will inevitably greatly improve the safety of workers on the construction site.

At least this recognition is very high, even if you look down from the tower crane, you will never miss it.

Zhao Jianliang said again: "Our Greenland Urban Construction Group is a highly self-disciplined enterprise, and the outsourcer that cooperates with us must also be highly self-disciplined, otherwise, everyone will be very different in terms of entrepreneurial spirit. How can we cooperate to make the project bigger? better?"

All the managers around nodded in agreement.

Zhao Jianliang said again: "I think, in the future, we will establish a scoring mechanism for outsourcing parties. In addition to construction speed and quality, work appearance and safety awareness should also be included. Outsourcing parties that are good in all aspects must be evaluated. Priority should be given to cooperation, and as for those who perform unsatisfactorily in all aspects, we must reduce cooperation with them, or even terminate cooperation!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jianliang patted Lu Sifang on the shoulder, and said to Mr. Zhao and others: "Xiao Lu's construction team is an example for everyone to learn from, and it is also the priority of our Greenland Urban Construction Group for in-depth cooperation in the future. He learns a lot!"

The others nodded like pounding garlic, and Lu Sifang was very happy.

Thinking of what Xu Yiyang had said to himself before, it was said that uniform uniforms would make the workers look better and more formal, and that camouflage would be safer on the construction site, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart: "Brother Xu, you really don't lie to me!"

...

Xu Yiyang has just delivered five thousand sets of military training uniforms to several construction sites one after another.

Lu Sifang called.

As soon as he came up, Lu Sifang said excitedly: "Brother Xu, thank you so much, brother!"

Xu Yiyang asked in surprise: "Brother Lu, which song are you singing?"

Lu Sifang said, "Oh, you don't know!"

As he spoke, he immediately recounted what happened just now.

While talking, he laughed excitedly and couldn't stop.

Xu Yiyang was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Then did Party A give you any practical benefits?"

Lu Sifang said with a smile: "The boss of the group gave a mobile red flag, and also specially approved a safety award of 10,000 yuan. The most important thing is that it is possible to become a high-quality partner of Greenland Urban Construction Group in the future. This is really rewarding." Great benefit!"

Xu Yiyang hurriedly said: "Congratulations, Brother Lu."

Lu Sifang smiled and said, "Thank you anyway! Besides, I have to congratulate you."

Xu Yiyang hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Lu Sifang said: "As soon as this incident happened, other contractors on my construction site and project managers from some construction units all asked me about camouflage uniforms. I have already told them that 25 yuan a piece As soon as they heard the price, they immediately decided to ask me to order a batch for them.”

Xu Yiyang hurriedly asked: "How much?"

Lu Sifang said: "Current statistics, about 50,000 sets."

Xu Yiyang exclaimed: "50,000 sets? Two sets for one person is enough for 25,000 workers. Are there so many people in your construction site?"

Lu Sifang said: "I'm afraid you are not stupid, boy, which construction site can have 25,000 people? Do you think the Three Gorges is being built?"

As he said that, he continued: "The main reason is that these construction units and contractors are not limited to this one construction site. There are several project departments opened by everyone with the Greenland Urban Construction Group, and they are located in several places in Zhonghai. They feel that twenty-five One yuan is really cheap, and they may not be able to double it in other places, so they want me to help order."

Xu Yiyang suddenly realized.

Ordinary people just think that a set of twenty-five is really cheap, but they don't know what this price means.

This price means that it is already lower than the cost price of this set of clothes. It is impossible to get new clothes at this price if you buy from any garment factory in the country.

Clothes at this stage are no cheaper than twenty years later, Xu Yiyang realized this as early as when he bought Guancheng Garments.

Twenty years later, the textile industry is far more developed than it is now, and the degree of mechanization and automation is also high.

And, it's also important to note that raw materials are cheaper.

Before 2000, the production capacity of cotton was not high, and it was too affected by cotton bollworm.

It is reported that in 1992 alone, domestic losses of more than 6 billion yuan were caused by cotton bollworms, and the indirect industrial chain reaction resulted in a total loss of more than 10 billion yuan.

Since the end of the 1990s, Monsanto in the United States has produced genetically modified cotton plants, and China has also developed insect-resistant cotton. After 2000, the harm of cotton bollworms was greatly reduced, so cotton production began to increase.

So in general, the current clothes are not cheap in all aspects, and the price is naturally not low.

This is similar to the automobile industry. Now a Poussin with poor performance can be exchanged for a suite in a small city. Twenty years later, the performance of Poussin has not only been greatly improved, but the price has also dropped, just like clothing. of.

The cost of cotton is very high now. For a suit of pure cotton clothes, raw materials plus production costs, twenty-five yuan is simply not worth it.

Not to mention it also comes with a hat and belt.

Therefore, in the eyes of other contractors, a full set of camouflage uniforms worth twenty-five yuan is like picking up on the ground.

However, they don't know that as long as they walk a few more steps, climb a few more walls, and come to the university campus, they can buy such clothes from students for ten yuan.

This is information asymmetry.

Students don't know that workers on construction sites will need their own military training uniforms;

Workers on construction sites also don't know that there are plenty of good camouflage uniforms left unused in schools.

Whoever can discover the unequal information first and connect the two ends of supply and demand will be the first to make money.

However, such a situation generally does not last long.

Because once someone makes money by using information asymmetry, someone will follow up immediately.

In the end, this line of business will inevitably go in two directions:

Or, the competition is getting bigger and bigger, and the profit will be lower and lower;

Or, the degree of information asymmetry between the supply and demand sides will gradually shrink until the information is equal.

Xu Yiyang knew a billionaire in his previous life. This buddy worked in Thailand in the early years, and he worked hard for several years without earning much money.

After returning to China, he found that domestic durians were sold at sky-high prices, and any one was worth hundreds of yuan. With the convenience of certain network resources, durians are poured from Thailand to China.

He was the first batch of businessmen who imported durians from Thailand on a large scale. He bought them at the price of cabbage and sold them at the price of gold. This quickly made him amass a large fortune.

However, this window period is very short. During the durian season in the second year, there will be more competitors.

In the third year, many e-commerce platforms began to import durians from Thailand and sell them on their own platforms, which further suppressed the profit margins of middlemen like him.

As a result, his business became more and more difficult to do, and finally became tasteless, so he simply switched to other industries.

It can be seen from this that those who can grasp the unequal information will not worry about making money as long as they dare to do it.

Xu Yiyang didn't care about being happy when he thought of the order of 50,000 sets delivered to his door, so he said to Lu Sifang: "Brother Lu, tell them that no matter how much they want, we can supply him, but they must Pay a 20% deposit first, and whoever pays the deposit first will get the goods first."

Lu Sifang said: "Okay, it is reasonable to accept a deposit, I will tell them."

Xu Yiyang asked again: "Brother Lu, tell them, let them tell their workers in advance that the unit will help them purchase camouflage uniforms, so that they don't have to buy them themselves."

"why?"

"Because we are also engaged in retail these days. If the workers in these units don't know, they buy it for themselves, and the unit buys it for them after they go back, which will cause them to spend twice. .”

Lu Sifang smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, are you trying to block the way of your competitors?"

Xu Yiyang didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "It seems that my little thoughts can't be hidden from your eyes, Brother Lu."
