Chapter 825 Development Conference
When people are young, they tend to like things that are new and exciting.
When they reach middle age, they prefer a stable and regular life, and in their later years, they tend to live a leisurely and comfortable life.
There is no doubt that Chen Pingsheng is now living a happy life on Jingyan Island.
The first thing I do every day after getting up, besides practicing Tai Chi in the yard to recuperate my body, is to make a cup of tea in the study facing the sea, have a few sips, read a book, and then go to work at 9:30.
The headquarters of the Institute of Economics is a magnificent circular building with the flags of nine countries hanging at the door.
Once you get inside, the working environment is very relaxed.
Everyone found a place to drink tea and chat. Except for the cheongsam receptionist, everyone else was very relaxed.
After Chen Pingsheng came in, he still had to stand up and call the dean.
"Dean Chen, are you going to live on the island for a long time in the future?"
"That's about right. I'll have more time to play chess with you guys from now on."
The two people who greeted him were both members of the advisory group, one was a retired professor of finance at Tsinghua University, and the other was a professor of economics at Peking University.
They are both well-known figures in society. Not only have they been professors, they have also served as consultants in many companies.
It has been five years since I joined Tengying Group. Since then, I have been living on the island with my family and rarely return to the outside world.
When people reach a certain age, as long as they have their family around them, they won’t be too fond of the hustle and bustle outside.
What's more, they have everything here, and the people living here are all highly educated. When everyone gets together, there are endless topics to talk about every day.
Don't expect a professor-level figure like this to be able to chat with ordinary people, the cognitive gap is obvious.
In addition to studying global industrial development and related policies, the Economic Research Institute's most important task is to ensure the stable development of each group under the Tencent Film Group.
Chen Pingsheng has a professional team of secretaries on the island, a total of nine people, four women and five men.
These nine people were sent to him after strict selection, and one of them was the youngest daughter of the professor from Peking University and Tsinghua University.
He is only 28 years old and has been strictly brought up at home since childhood. It would be difficult for such a scholarly family to choose a spouse outside.
Whether they are the second generation of a public official or a top wealthy family, they are all well-matched.
No matter who you are, you will find it worthwhile.
There are three types of aristocratic families: the first is a public official, the second is a scholarly family, and the third is a wealthy family.
The nouveau riche have no place in this.
Everyone usually has their own projects and industries to be responsible for, but the one-hour Economic Research Island Industrial Development Conference every day is considered the most important work of the day.
It’s just that this kind of meeting is held every day, and everyone can go or not.
An An was still giving lectures at universities, and the share price of Tengying Group had been rising for more than half a month following the news that Chen Pingsheng had returned to the stage.
It is still very popular now.
Today, the industrial development conference on the island was almost full because of Chen Pingsheng's attendance, and all those who were supposed to come were there.
The person responsible for hosting the speech report was his chief secretary on the island, Lin Wanqing.
Her father was a famous professor of economics at Peking University and Tsinghua University, and Lin Wanqing went to the Economic Research Island after graduation.
Combined with what was mentioned before, their current investment standards are mainly to improve the income and living security of people working in the industry.
Lin Wan said in a clear voice: "At Dean Chen's suggestion today, the core theme of our meeting is still to study the service industry.
"According to statistics, the service industry is the industry with the largest number of employees, without a doubt. However, the salary and benefits provided by the service industry, including various welfare standards, have always been among the lowest in China, and even in the world.
"In the service industry, whether it's food delivery, catering, or technical industries like hairdressing, the average working hours are over ten hours a day, and the monthly rest time is less than six days, with an average rest time of about four days.
"The average salary in the service industry is only around 6,000 yuan. After deducting the necessary monthly rent and food, there is basically not much left to save in a month."
Lin Wanqing continued, "They say children from poor families have three treasures: hairdressing, auto repair, and cooking. Limited by their parents' resources, most rural students who drop out of junior high or high school can only choose these three industries with no barriers to entry. This has also led to severely intensified competition within the industry. With such severe internal competition, the income of industry practitioners is generally below average."
In the early years, in order to develop and improve these three industries, the Dream Fund invested in a large number of small projects within the industries.
In order to find the best way to solve all of this as quickly as possible.
Hard work pays off, and they did find a pretty good method, but it couldn't be promoted nationwide.
The main reason is that the disorderly competition in the industry is too serious, just like hairdressing.
Normally, a barber needs two to three years of apprenticeship before he can become a master, and only then can he reasonably cut hair for thirty-five yuan.
The hair cutting process requires the cooperation of the front desk staff, barber, and hair washer.
That is to say, it takes one hour and three people to serve, and only then can we collect 35 yuan from the customer.
The barber's commission is only about 12 yuan, and the hairdresser's commission is 8 to 10 yuan.
The receptionist earns more than 3,000 yuan a month.
These people basically work more than twelve hours a day, and their average salary is around four thousand.
There are only four days of rest in a month, which is an unimaginable industry situation. However, there are still countless smart people in the industry who are doing those ten-yuan quick haircuts.
The industry is so competitive and the profits are unimaginably thin.
If it weren’t for Tengying Group’s own philosophy and beliefs, no one would be able to survive in this industry.
This is not just the case in the hairdressing industry, but also in too many low-level service industries.
Chen Pingsheng is gradually transferring the profits he has accumulated from large industries, including technological projects, to these basic service industries.
High-tech talents are always a minority everywhere, and the grassroots service personnel are the real masses.
The most difficult industries for them to change at present are these grassroots industries.
Just like when he first entered the food delivery industry, ensuring the deliverymen’s basic five insurances and one fund as well as various benefits were just the primary tasks.
The most important thing is to shorten working hours and increase wage income.
and improved safety.
This requires the platform to continue to work hard. Chen Pingsheng always believes that human value is above all else.
Human resources should not be cheap either. If the income of these people is not increased, it will be impossible to truly achieve an internal circulation of consumption in the post-real estate era.
Everyone has no income, and the money in their pockets is only enough to live on each month. What can they spend?
The best way to increase consumption is always to increase income.
If consumption cannot be increased, everyone will just live in an endless struggle in the internal competition.
Unless you can make all the money in the world.
Unfortunately, except for a few technology industries, most companies cannot make money from abroad.
So, Chen Pingsheng is not only saving others, he is also saving himself.
