Since 1983

There is a famous comment in Feng Pants's early New Year's films: "I can't cross the Yangtze River."

Based on Beijing-style humor, the box office in the south is indeed not as good as that in the north. The capital city is the base camp. For example, "Party A and Party B" accounted for nearly one-third of the national box office in one place.

Later, it was gradually improved. "A World Without Thieves" invited Hua Tsai as the leading role, because of the consideration of popularity.

"Love Call Transfer" does not have much geographical barriers, but the environment is very different when going out.

The theaters are very enthusiastic, the audience is very enthusiastic, and the curtain call is accompanied by the ending song again and again, and it is unprecedentedly popular wherever it goes. The actors were still working hard at the beginning, and everyone was full of testimonials.

Afterwards, I was exhausted and spent most of my time on the vehicle. When I woke up, I went directly to the stage with a smirk.

But the box office is slow, except for Shanghai, which is not in line with the local movie market. Actors didn't pay attention to this before, and they understand a lot after taking a trip.

And Xu Fei was like pulling out a nail or attacking a blockhouse. He first pulled out the capital, and then moved forward step by step every year until the whole country blossomed.

Oh, and there is still no release in a certain province.

The boss was furious, but he acted in accordance with the law: "The producer can negotiate with distribution companies at all levels at will, or directly negotiate with theaters."

…………

As "Love Call Transfer" enters its second week, it's New Year's Day.

Many major events happened in January 1995: the "Labor Law of the People's Republic of China" was officially implemented; the World Trade Organization was officially established; CCTV5 was officially launched...

The predecessor of WTO was called "General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade". Simply put, it is a group. If you join a group, you can play with everyone.

China has been seeking to add groups since the 1980s, and it has gone through several stages. At the end of 1994, some developed countries led by the United States demanded extravagant prices, but failed to resume customs clearance.

This year the WTO replaced the GATT, and China decided to apply to join the WTO and started negotiations with 37 members.

The first OK was Hungary, and the last was Mexico. The most difficult thing is the United States. After 25 rounds of negotiations, there is an item called trade in services, which includes imported films.

How did the agreement reached at that time come about?

It is based on the current ten imported films per year. Leader Tian even participated in Sino-US negotiations... I will talk about this later.

January 1st, morning.

The room is warm as spring, and the bed is lightly fragrant.

Zhang Li slept until she woke up naturally, but before she fully regained her consciousness, she heard a soft voice around her, and saw Xiao Xu twitching her back.

She stood up and leaned over, her plump and beautiful body squirmed in the quilt.

"What's wrong?"

"Woo woo woo..."

"Yo, why are you crying so early in the morning?"

"Today, today I will be thirty years old..."

Xiao Xu lowered his head, unable to control his grief: "It's too scary, I'm already thirty years old, woo woo woo."

"oops."

Zhang Li rubbed her cheek and coaxed softly: "It's only after your birthday, you're only twenty-nine years old."

"Really?"

"Well, I am also twenty-nine years old. Life is long, and we are all young and immature."

So happy again.

It has snowed for a few days, and the sun is just right today, and Lanyin is not here, so the two get up comfortably.

Zhang Li cooked some small wontons that were usually frozen, added dried shrimps and seaweed, ten in a bowl, twenty-five in a bowl, and arranged the itinerary while eating.

"We'll go to Daduhui later. The supermarket opens today. Then we watch a movie. Everyone says it's good, but I haven't seen it yet."

"Go skating in Beihai in the afternoon, watch the snow in Xiangshan, and live in Zhuangzi after that, it's quite warm there."

"Well, just hang up the picture."

"Then drive a jeep, the crown can't run away."

In a few words, Teacher Xu not only disappeared, but even the car.

After breakfast, the two went downstairs. Boss Zhang sat in the driver's seat and rubbed his hands, "I'm a little nervous, I haven't tried it before."

"Let's drive, it's all cars anyway."

"Then you sit down."

Boss Zhang started the car, stepped on the gas pedal, and boom, a strong back push came, and he rushed out.

"ah!"

Amid the screams of the two, the Grand Cherokee staggered out of the community and headed straight for Daduhui.

…………

Carrefour entered China in 1995, and Wal-Mart entered China in 1996.

In Beijing, there is a man named Zhang Wenzhong, a sea turtle, who founded an information technology company in 1994 and developed a management information system specially designed for supermarkets.

But there are no supermarkets in China, and no one buys them. He and his friends decided to open one by himself to make samples, and then rented an abandoned printing factory as a storefront.

As a result, a good programmer becomes a capitalist once proofreading. This supermarket is called "Wumart", and its sales exceeded 100 million in the first year.

It’s different now. The Wanjia supermarket in Daduhui bought this system and directly fanned its wings, which caused the delay of Wumart’s appearance.

But they said that when they arrived at the place, the sky was full of gongs and drums, pennants were unfurled, and firecrackers were blazing in unison. There was a colorful banner outside the shopping mall, saying that Wanjia Supermarket opened and so on.

Apply for a membership card, first recharge 100 plus 20, get points for shopping, points can be exchanged for gifts and so on.

The two out-of-date female stars went in without any cover. Queuing up to take the elevator, the carts are gone, and the entrance staff kept shouting: "Backpacks cannot be brought in, go to the locker over there, and keep the keys!"

"Drinks can't be taken in, finish drinking outside!"

"You can't eat inside!"

Oh my God!

Xiaoxu didn't want to go in after seeing it, but they all came, so he had to grab a shopping basket.

Looking at all the heads, you can only see the sign above, hanging "daily washing", "casual snacks", "bulk food", "alcoholic beverages" and so on.

People keep asking: "Where is the bill?"

People kept replying: "Export checkout! Export checkout!"

After dawdling for a long time, I couldn't move, and I was so angry that I couldn't leave. Zhang Li had no choice but to find a place where there were relatively few people. Not far away, there was a tally clerk who kept staring...

"What is she looking at us for, catching thieves?"

"I have to watch it, otherwise I would lose a lot of things in a day."

When Xiaoxu played his temper, she was never annoyed, and said with a smile: "The anti-theft technology is not perfect, and it depends on manpower to guard it. Each person has a shelf, and if they catch one, they will be rewarded. If they are caught, they will be exposed, and the reward will be doubled.

In fact, this cannot be avoided. We have a loss quota, which is included in the cost. "

"Then how do you transport it? What about expired goods?"

"Relying on the supplier's transportation channels, when the expiration date is reached, there will be a big promotion, or employees will be given benefits."

Zhang Li patiently explained, saying: "I have studied the model of foreign supermarkets, like Wal-Mart, which cooperates well with suppliers, builds its own distribution center, shares information, and coordinates deployment.

Carrefour is exactly the opposite. It squeezes suppliers too much, combines suppliers' transportation channels, and pays attention to store management.

I think the combination of the two, and a proper squeeze can ensure cash flow. "

"..."

Xiao Xu thought for a while and said, "Then will you build a distribution center in the future?"

"This concept is quite big, and I have to understand it before I can decide."

"I think the transportation link will add a lot of value. Teacher Xu said that this is called logistics."

In the noisy supermarket, no one noticed what the two outdated female stars were discussing.

The biggest advantage they have over their counterparts in the business world is that they have a broad horizon, they often go abroad for insights, and there is a man who keeps instilling new ideas.

After standing for a while, the flow of people did not decrease at all.

Xiao Xu had no choice but to walk forward in the crowd, carrying some snacks and drinks, and finally touched a bottle of red wine.

Although a little unpleasant, I still had a good day playing.

Xiangshan was wrapped in silver, took a lot of photos, took the female bodyguards to live in the countryside at night, and spent New Year's Day happily.

...

"Ah Choo!"

"Ah Choo!"

In the car to a certain city, the drowsy teacher Xu suddenly sneezed violently. Liu Bei, who was also drowsy, woke up with a start and said, "Brother, do you have a cold?"

"No……"

He wrapped his clothes and said strangely: "It seems to be a little cold suddenly, and he looks like he was abandoned."

(besides……)
