Chapter 998 The first enterprise: Kirin Industrial Group

,!

Kirin Industrial Group is a billion-dollar-level super enterprise founded by Ye Zishu himself. Last year, it was only short of 2 trillion yuan in revenue to achieve this achievement. This year's revenue has properly exceeded the trillion-dollar level.

Although Xinghuo Group achieved this goal last year, the nature of the two is different. The entire management system of Xinghuo Group is controlled by artificial intelligence.

However, the entire management system of Kirin Industrial Group is controlled by someone, and artificial intelligence and general-purpose robots only play a supervisory role, with the purpose of avoiding internal corruption and assisting management.

Therefore, seeing their annual report, Ye Zishu had to read it carefully from beginning to end, wanting to see the performance of each subgroup of this group.

Since the achievement of 10 trillion yuan in the previous year, the revenue scale of Kirin Textile Industry Group last year has not decreased, and there is even a trend of accelerating development.

Last year, their revenue scale reached an astonishing 15 trillion yuan, with a growth rate of as high as 36%. With such a volume, it is not easy to have such a high revenue growth.

But when you think about it, it is natural that the income of the domestic people is already very high. Although the domestic textile enterprises are not limited to the Kirin Textile Industry Group, they are actually not enough to play the role of competitors.

First of all, in terms of textile raw materials, the textile industry group has almost monopolized the domestic market, and its foreign market share has reached more than 50%, becoming the world's largest supplier of textile raw materials.

The reason has also been analyzed before. In terms of the types of textile raw materials, they are the most in the world. There are tens of thousands of types of textile raw materials, which can meet the various requirements of the global textile industry.

When it comes to the quality of textile raw materials, they are even more fearless. It can be said that in the textile raw material industry, no company has a higher technical level than them. This is the real hard power.

In terms of the cost advantage of similar products, they still beat other companies. They do not depend on upstream suppliers, and they can complete the whole set by themselves, which is unmatched by other textile companies.

In terms of supply stability, they also have unparalleled advantages. They do not depend on the weather, and they have the least demand or dependence on nature. As long as the production capacity is established, they will continue to supply energy.

With such a strong advantage, it is difficult for them not to have a monopoly in the field of textile raw materials. Even they did not bother too much in this regard, and they naturally achieved a monopoly.

If they adopted special competition methods, it is estimated that their international market share could reach at least 80%, but they did not do so.

On the one hand, most of the rest are low-end textile raw material markets, and the profits are not too high. In addition, domestic labor costs are getting higher and higher, so it is not very cost-effective to do so.

On the other hand, we must leave room for others.

Especially in the international market, if it goes too far, all kinds of trade protectionism will rise, and you may suffer even greater losses in the end.

Rather than this, it is better to focus on the supply of mid-to-high-end textile raw materials. If the scope is narrowed, the number of competitors will be greatly reduced. There are only a few companies, and it is naturally easy to deal with them.

If it weren't for many special high-end textile raw materials that they don't take out, it is estimated that they will make more money in the textile raw material business, such as the special fabrics used for individual combat uniforms, which have powerful characteristics.

Another example is fabrics that can display colorful, or textile materials with electrical properties, as well as textile fabrics that are as thin as onion wings but full of toughness, and many special-purpose fabrics, such as mimicry fabrics.

There are some fabrics that are more expensive than gold. For example, the textile fabrics mentioned above are as thin as a cicada’s wings and as light as a feather. Calculated by weight, they are more valuable than gold.

Many of them are obtained by chemical production, but many are also realized by bionic technology, such as their silk.

According to the original method, a large number of silkworms need to be raised, which is time-consuming and expensive, and requires a lot of land, which is obviously not the production method they want to see.

Therefore, bionic technology is used, and artificial technology is directly used to let the bionic equipment spin silk, which is no different from the silk spun by silkworms, but one is biological silk spinning, and the other is made by using bionic industrial equipment.

This technology is very powerful. As long as there is natural and good silk in nature, it can be realized through similar bionic technology, so as to solve the problem of insufficient raw material sources or high cost.

Even some natural silk, which cannot meet the requirements, will be artificially strengthened, which not only retains the characteristics of natural silk, but also meets special textile needs.

In the field of clothing, shoes, hats and bags, although they need to meet stronger competitors, they naturally have strong advantages with many unique raw materials.

What's more, their work in this area is not for free. As mentioned above, there are more than ten advantages. In the fierce competition of end products, they will naturally not fall into a disadvantage.

At present, the number of terminal consumer brands created by them is as high as hundreds, each of which has become a well-known brand in the world, and most of them have become leaders in subdivided fields, and some are even monopolies.

Last year, their revenue continued to rise, which is actually the result of their continuous brand development over the years, especially in China. In the past, as long as the product quality was good, it didn't matter whether the brand was big or not.

Even as long as it is cheap enough, poorer quality can be accepted. After all, everyone was poor before and could only save a little, which made many of their mid-to-high-end brands not sell well in China.

It is different now. Given the domestic income level, it has become very common to consume mid-to-high-end brand products, which has led to a continuous increase in their terminal business revenue.

Moreover, in their place, it is actually difficult for other brands to survive. The product comparison is too obvious. No matter it is design, product quality, or replacement frequency, they cannot be compared. Even similar products, some of their brands have an advantage in price.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they can achieve such results. Even as the income of residents continues to increase, the consumer demand for higher-end products will increase.

The establishment of the social security fund has a very good effect on increasing the overall average income of our country, allowing more people to afford mid-to-high-end products, and further expansion of the market is almost inevitable.

No matter how expensive the things the rich buy, their total consumption cannot be compared with that of ordinary people. If they want to expand the domestic market, the best solution is that everyone has the same level of wealth and the gap between the rich and the poor should not be too large.

The establishment of the social security fund is a good medicine to solve the large gap between the rich and the poor. It cooperates with many tax system reforms, so that the rich will not be so rich that they don’t know how to spend it, and the poor will not be so poor that food is a problem.

It played a vital role in narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, and also laid the foundation for the expansion of domestic economic demand and sustainable economic development. Although some people are dissatisfied, this is the torrent of the times.

To be honest, Ye Zishu hoped that they would be dissatisfied. Anyway, as long as they dared to withdraw from the market, his companies would dare to occupy them, and there would be absolutely no gap left.

This is why he and the country dared to do this. Other countries may have to coax capital. After all, economic development depends on them. I am afraid they will run away if they are not satisfied.

In China, there is no need to worry about this now. His industry is Dinghaishenzhen. All the capital is hypocritical, and they can't be hypocritical in front of them.

It is precisely because of this that although there are many discordant voices in this tax reform, everyone wants to speak out for their own interests. This is understandable, but after it was passed, there was no big wave.

There are many reasons for this. The first reason is that the domestic market does not lack capital, and they have no room for hypocrisy, let alone a basis for resistance.

The second reason is that my country's current strength is strong enough so that they dare not give up this market casually, and capital needs more security. Generally, the more economically powerful the country, the higher the security for capital.

The third reason is that the tax system is so perfect that if they want to escape, they will be scratched. After a comprehensive calculation, they think it is not worthwhile, so they stay obediently.

Capital is sometimes powerful, so powerful that it penetrates all pervasively, and sometimes capital is cowardly. If you really want to confront it, it is actually vulnerable. Therefore, don’t think capital is too powerful, and you must also be vigilant against capital’s pervasive penetration.

No one thought that the most profitable business of Kirin Beverage Industry Group turned out to be mineral water, which accounted for half of their total revenue and became a veritable global leader in water drinks.

Maybe this description is not intuitive enough. Last year, their mineral water sold 3 trillion standard bottles around the world. There are only 6 billion people in the world, and an average of 833 bottles are purchased per person per year.

On average, they buy more than one bottle every day. This is how terrifying it is. Moreover, their mineral water is not cheap. The standard bottled ex-factory price is 2 yuan. The retail price gap between domestic and foreign countries is obvious. Elaborate.

This business alone has brought them 5 trillion yuan in revenue, of which the domestic contribution is the most important. The reason is very simple, that is, the domestic people have money.

In the past, tap water could be used as drinking water by everyone. Now that everyone has money in their pockets, their pursuit of quality of life is naturally higher. Mineral water from the Beverage Industry Group has become their daily drinking water.

In response to changes in the country, they have launched super-large-capacity family packs, which are very affordable and have become a must-have drinking water for almost every household. The domestic market alone has contributed more than 2 trillion yuan in revenue.

Their mineral water is rated as the best drinking water and the healthiest water. It has almost no rivals in the world. As long as you can afford it, you will generally choose their water.

At the beginning, he just thought that there was a lot to be done in the field of drinking water, so he specially developed the formula of mineral water. Unexpectedly, it broke out.

However, in this case, the change of business is basically over, and it is difficult to continue to develop. After all, there is an upper limit to the amount of water a person can drink every day, and it is impossible to drink unlimited.

But being able to achieve such a level in a business, even if you can't make great progress in the future, you will not be frustrated. After all, there is a limit to any business, which is a height that many companies cannot reach.

Unless everyone uses it not only for drinking but also for cooking in the future, although this possibility is not ruled out, there should not be such a rush in the short term, after all, the price is not cheap.

But to be honest, using this kind of water to make tea or cook rice tastes better than ordinary water, and it cannot be ruled out that ordinary families will do this in the future.

Last year, the total revenue of this subsidiary group company also just broke through the 10 trillion yuan mark, becoming the world's largest beverage group. Many categories have achieved the world's number one, and it is a well-deserved overlord.

Among the many sub-groups of Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group, the growth rate of revenue is relatively satisfactory, neither by leaps and bounds, nor stagnant.

The work they have been doing before is to gradually replace the domestic grain production field. As of last year, they have basically completed this step.

Domestic grain planting hit a record low last year, and the total tonnage of naturally grown grain products was only about 10 million tons. This scale is not small for other countries, but for my country, this scale is not large.

There are many reasons. First of all, growing food is the least profitable of all agricultural planting businesses. In addition, there are many job opportunities. Doing something casually is more profitable than growing food, and it is not so tiring.

The second is that a large amount of land is used to grow high-value economic crops, and even some fields are simply used for recuperation, and the method of fallow is adopted to maintain soil fertility.

In particular, there were a large number of terraced fields in the past, which made it impossible to carry out large-scale operations. Coupled with the need for environmental protection, many fields have begun to be returned to forests, changing the nature of the land.

There are also a large number of fields that have been reclaimed from lakes, and they are gradually recovering. The number of cultivated land that has been withdrawn is also quite large. In addition, the rapid development of urbanization has taken up a lot of the original cultivated land.

Most of the cultivated land that has been preserved now is plain area, or a piece of relatively flat land, which is conducive to mechanized operations and land with relatively sufficient water sources.

These measures are all measures that are beneficial to the development of Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group. Coupled with the improvement of domestic living standards, the demand for high-end grain products is relatively high.

Therefore, last year, the revenue scale of Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group has also been greatly improved. The total revenue scale reached 8 trillion yuan, with a growth rate of 60%.

In the past, it was not a big problem for everyone to eat rice at one or two yuan per catty. Now many families start to eat rice at 5 yuan per catty, because the taste is better and more mellow.

And in order to meet different needs, they have also introduced rice for different purposes, such as rice suitable for porridge, regular rice, and rice suitable for fried rice or bibimbap.

The same is true for flour, a large number of products suitable for special purposes are launched to meet all the needs of the market, and these have strongly contributed to the expansion of the market.

In addition, the demand for industrial grain has also continued to increase, which has also increased the grain market demand. In the past, the operation of the grain industry field also depended on the national food security needs, and some areas would be subject to certain restrictions.

Now there is no such problem. As long as they need it, the grain and oil industry group can produce it. There is no previous concern at all, and it has also increased the use of a lot of grain in the industrial field.

In addition, they also increased the global food supply last year. Last year, the international food price increased significantly. In fact, the global food production is not low, and there are international grain merchants behind it.

In order to calm international grain prices and to take this opportunity to expand the share of international grain trade, they made great progress in the international grain trade market last year.

Anyway, the variety of the domestic grain market has changed a lot. They export the original low-priced domestic grain varieties overseas without adjusting the production line, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

In fact, when it comes to making money, grain export is not a huge profit, but the importance of grain export is unquestionable. Even if it does not make money, it must occupy a certain share in the international grain market.

Last year, the total tonnage of their grain exports reached 200 million tons, making them the world's largest grain exporter and the number one grain merchant in the world.

In order to occupy the market, we signed stable supply agreements with grain agencies in many countries last year, which is conducive to maintaining global food security and price stability, and is also conducive to maintaining the market expectations of Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group.

To be honest, with the presence of the Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group, the so-called weaponization of food in the past is self-defeating. As long as the international food market fluctuates, they can quickly provide large quantities of food to stabilize food price fluctuations.

As a result, the original plan of a certain developed country to rely on cheap food to control the global food market went bankrupt, and they are planning to gradually reduce food subsidies.

Now it's different, their economy has encountered many problems, since they can't achieve their strategic goals, crazy subsidies are not so necessary.

For Kirin Grain and Oil Industry Group, last year was a glorious year. Not to mention the domestic market, even the international grain trade market, they also accounted for half of the country, and there is a possibility of further improvement in the future.

Kirin Energy Industry Group used most of its energy to produce gold in the previous year. Last year, there was not so much demand for gold production, so it has higher autonomy.

In addition, interstellar ships have a relatively high demand for rare element substances, so they have to desperately supply them. Even if the internal supply price is reduced, it still brings them huge benefits.

Last year, their revenue reached 30 trillion yuan, among which the production of rare resources contributed the most. If the market price is fully followed, it is estimated that the revenue will double several times.

Then, the scale of the international energy export market is also good, but because electricity has more uses, there is no effort to develop it here. Generally speaking, there is no shortage of international fossil energy supply, so there is no need to fight price wars.

Although Kirin Basic Industries Group has undertaken many businesses of interstellar ships, what they really need to do now is to provide participating companies with a large amount of advanced equipment.

Therefore, their revenue also set a new record last year, with a total revenue scale of 50 trillion yuan, while the revenue scale of the previous year was only 30 trillion yuan. The growth rate was unprecedented.

In addition, their robot pet business is also developing very well. Last year, they sold a total of 50 million robot pets, and their revenue in this area alone reached nearly 10 trillion yuan.

The reason why robot pets sell well is that the price of ordinary pets has dropped a lot, only the prices of exclusive and large pets have not dropped. These measures have effectively promoted the expansion of the consumer market.

In addition, their other business revenues have increased to varying degrees, especially their bionic business. With the large increase in robot production capacity and the use of more industrial fields, they have brought them considerable benefits.

As for the profit, it didn't actually increase much, because their investment scale last year was also not small. They were regarded as an important basic supporter of the interstellar ship project, and many key equipment were provided by them.

In addition, all of its industries have increased in different ways, all of which require investment to expand production, so the net profit margin has also declined sharply, only 20%, and the net profit is 10 trillion yuan, a decrease of more than 3 trillion yuan from the previous year. Yuan.

The development of Kirin Electric Industrial Group is basically step-by-step. Last year's revenue was 7 trillion yuan, with a growth rate of only 16.7%.

But as far as their own business is concerned, it is not too bad. In fact, the work they have done has exceeded the expectations of Ye Zishu when it was established. It is just that different industries have different characteristics and market sizes, and they cannot be forced.

The performance of several other sub-group companies is quite satisfactory, and the fastest growing one is Qilin Timber Industry Group. Their excellent performance may be related to the large-scale sales of real estate in China.

After all, before it was not my own house, I bought cheap furniture, and I would not buy non-essential furniture. Now that I have my own house, the situation is different.

It is definitely necessary to dress up the new home beautifully. The decoration should choose the best within the scope of ability, and the furniture should also be selected within the scope of one's own tolerance. This has increased the market size of decoration wood and furniture.

Overall, Kirin Industrial Group performed very well last year, achieving a total revenue of 167 trillion yuan, an increase that exceeded Ye Zishu's expectations.

You don't need to read the annual reports of other companies. Kirin Industrial Group must have won the top spot in the revenue of all the group companies under him. It finally made him look good and suppressed the artificial intelligence-managed Xinghuo Group.

It's just that the net profit margin is not as impressive as before. The reason is that the investment scale is also very large, which reduces the profit margin, but this is not a big deal.

The net profit rate is 25%, and the net profit is 42 trillion yuan. The number of employees has not increased much, because the society has relatively sufficient employment and the employment pressure is not great.

Therefore, many of their business expansions have used robots and automation technologies extensively to save human resource costs, especially after the establishment of the social security fund, they have no worries.

Now unless they are high-end talents, they will be recruited. General employees have basically stopped recruiting. In the future, most of them will be dismissed in a planned way to increase the proportion of robots used and improve the operating efficiency of the entire group.

Looking at it as a whole, Kirin Industrial Group can achieve such brilliant results. He believes that he has done several things right. The first thing is to desperately expand domestic demand and increase labor wages.

This measure allows residents to consume better goods, improves the quality of life, and brings a huge market to domestic industrial enterprises and service enterprises.

The second thing is the launch of the interstellar ship project. Although the investment scale is large, it has also driven the development of the industry, increased the scale of the industry, and created conditions for revenue growth.

The third thing is the design of a reasonable structure and management system, so that it can still operate freely in the case of such a large volume, and there is no insurmountable large enterprise disease.

Although these seem to either sacrifice their own interests, or reduce the power of managers, thereby reducing their active initiative, or bet on the future.

Sacrificing some benefits in exchange for more benefits, and maintaining social harmony, the people have a stronger sense of happiness, which is the most cost-effective deal.
