Chapter 1261 The road of life has no end

Xue Xiaomin and Nan Yi talked a lot, from NEWME's business to India's tariff policy.

In the early years, India proposed "Make In India". Currently, the term "Atmanirbhar Bharat" can often be heard in some speeches by senior officials in New Delhi. Self-sufficiency has become India's development strategy, and it does not necessarily have to catch up from the beginning. This, beyond that, first solve the problems of "have" and "can".

Regardless of the category of goods, once India's localization capabilities increase, it will immediately be reflected in tariffs, increase tariffs on imported goods, and bring the goods into the scope of BIS certification compulsory certification by the Bureau of Standards.

India's current textile exports are rising steadily, accounting for more than 12% of the entire country's export revenue. The textile industry supports a large number of people. The textile category of clothing is the focus of attention. Clothes are brought from abroad to sell in India. It is impossible not to be challenged.

All of NEWME's clothes are imported from China, and the cost is on average 18% higher than the local ones. If it hadn't been targeted at mid-to-high-end customer groups from the beginning, with high added value of the brand and platform, NEWME would have been out-competed long ago. The opponent was knocked down.

Despite this, NEWME's situation is not optimistic. As India's e-commerce becomes more and more developed and competitors further increase, NEWME's competitiveness continues to be weakened. It is either waiting to be eliminated or taking the road of product localization.

There is no solution to this problem. Even if there are no higher customs clearance costs and freight charges, the overall cost growth of domestic clothing has almost wiped out the problems of workmanship and yield rate of local Indian clothing. While the cost is rising, the quality is constantly improving. The other will wax and wane, and sooner or later it will reach a critical point.

Nanyi knew that Xue Xiaomin wanted to go the localization route, but he couldn't think of any clever ideas and could only acquiesce.

After talking about NEWME, the two talked about the Iranian platform Cloran.

Compared to India, Iran is much simpler. Although tariffs are heavier, industry and agriculture are underdeveloped, and most materials are imported, so there is not much competition between imports and the local market.

Moreover, Iran's network is a two-way blocked local area network. What is inside is not allowed to be seen outside, and what is outside is not allowed to be seen inside. It doesn't matter how awesome the international giants are. They have nothing to do with Iran anyway. This creates a situation for the birth of local giants. Very good soil environment.

In addition, due to strict foreign exchange controls, it is difficult to transfer money out of Iran. This has stopped most investors who covet the demographic dividend of more than 80 million people from moving forward. This means that they will not face too fierce competition.

It is precisely because Iran has these two advantages that Madein attaches great importance to Cloran and provides a lot of biased support to promote its rapid development.

As for how to transfer the money earned, this is not a problem for Cloran. Its idle funds will be borrowed by a mineral trading company to offset the purchase of iron, copper, zinc, molybdenum, antimony and other ores from the Iranian mining industry. part of the payment.

Iran is not stupid. It knows that U.S. dollars are better than its own rial, and it is strange that the bulk of the ore can be sold without U.S. dollars.

What Xue Xiaomin wants to talk about is expanding the warehouse in Tehran and increasing investment in artificial intelligence to speed up logistics while controlling the growth of the number of employees and handing over more work to machines, such as basic layout and product image design. , another example is the simpler part of writing code.

Nan Yi did not express any objection, but just asked Xue Xiaomin to pay more attention to the actions of the United States and not to be affected.

Xue Xiaomin arrived in the morning, and Nan Ruojin and Nan Zeyang flew over in the afternoon.

The three of them went to Tulahalli Forest, where the air was relatively fresh, and sat on a boulder to chat about the universe, Mars, career, marriage, and everything else.

Nan Yi remains amiable, without the dignity of his elders, and gets along with his children and grandchildren as friends.

After the two left, Nanyi focused his energy back on Wuzhi Trust's India investment strategy, dealing with one thing after another and slowly implementing his investment intentions. In the meantime, he did not forget to worry about the football match. Things will naturally be done as promised to Wang Jiansen.

On April 13, Nanyi arrived in Bangkok and spent the Elders' Day, Family Day and Water Splashing Festival with his two cotton-padded jackets. He also paid attention to the development of Tainan Group in Thailand.

After Nan Ruoqi flew away, he was not in a hurry to leave Bangkok. On the evening of the fourth day, he went to a food stall in Chinatown. He passed through several sparsely spaced stalls and came to a fried rice stall with a signboard above it. It says Saner Fried Rice Noodles.

Business was good, with only two or three empty seats left. Men San'er was shaking a spoon in front of the stove, beads of sweat on his forehead. His wife, who was a waiter, was busy clearing the table and serving dishes to the new customers. He Ding Sitian, the daughter, was busy at the desk, holding a knife and cutting side dishes on the chopping board.

After watching for a while, Nan Yi walked to the stove and said to Men San'er, "Happy New Year."

Men San'er raised his head and glanced at Nan Yi, "Here you go, find a seat and wait for me to finish my work and go over to greet you."

"There's no rush, just take your time."

Nan Yi found an empty seat and sat down on his own. After sitting for a while, Ding Sitian brought him a drink.

"Uncle Nan, please drink some water."

"Does your father know that we are in contact?" Nan Yi took the cup and asked.

"I just found out about it not long ago."

"Does he agree with you to study in the United States?"

Dingsi nodded.

Nan Yi also nodded, and the two of them were speechless.

More than a quarter of an hour passed before Men San'er came over from his work. Holding a bottle of cold beer in his hand, he sat down next to Nan Yi, silently poured two glasses of wine, pushed one glass to Nan Yi, and said Raising a glass, "Thank you for taking care of me all these years."

Nan Yi picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Men San'er, "There's no need to say any kind words, they're all in the wine."

He raised his head, poured a glass of wine into his stomach, and dissipated some of his anger.

But it seemed that the two of them had nothing to talk about.

Men San'er took out a pack of Guangxi and handed one to Nan Yi. Nan Yi took it and held it in his mouth, not blocking Men San'er's hand to light the fire for him.

The two smoked silently, still not talking.

For a long time, the guests around them came and went, changing several times, but the two of them remained silent.

It wasn't until the night got darker that Nan Yi said, "It's been many years. Just pretend what happened back then never happened. Go back to the capital and walk around more often."

"good."

"gone."

"Go slowly, don't send me away."

Nan Yi left and went back to do what he had to do.

April 16, 2019, is just a very ordinary day for him. What is extraordinary is the relief in his mind. The days will continue. It is hard to say whether the rest of his life will be long or short. He only knows that there is no one day. In the end, we must continue to move forward firmly.

Complete book.

An ending that doesn’t count as an ending, and I haven’t forgotten any of the unfilled holes. I have no plans to write an extra chapter for the time being, or what is lacking in this book will be filled in another book.

Two years and one and a half months later, I would like to thank you all for being with me all the way. The next book will be uploaded in about a week. I will show my sincerity in the storytelling, and please continue to encourage me.

It’s a long way to go, see you in the next book!
