In The United States, Only 3 Yuan For A Pair Of Chinese Climbing Shoes?

For many years, many middle class Americans did not shop at WAL-MART stores. They mainly went shopping in hills or Macy's.

For ninety-nine cents, cheap stores are only in poor communities.

However, with the passage of time, the price of WAL-MART store products has not been improved, but on the contrary, it has become cheaper and cheaper, and the quality of products has been getting better and better.

More and more people are going there.

By 2006, the ninety-nine cent store in the United States had opened a new store in Beverly Hills, the tallest community in the United States, and created a new store profit record the year before its opening.

In front of the shop in Beverly Hills, there are a lot of luxury cars. Your movie stars who earn tens of millions of dollars a year are happy to buy ninety-nine cents merchandise with their pets.

Since 2002, I have started patronizing ninety-nine cent stores and WAL-MART stores.

The reason is very simple. The goods there are really cheap.

In the past, it would take about seven dollars to buy a power extension line in American stores.

But in the ninety-nine cent store, the same goods cost only ninety-nine cents.

In the face of such a cheap commodity, why do not I buy it?

Four years ago, my eyes began to grow old, and I bought a pair of American glasses in American stores at a price of $49.95.

But just a few months ago, my friend, Mrs. Wu fan, told me that the ninety-nine cent shop sells Chinese made glasses, and the quality is very good.

Although I was skeptical about the quality of Chinese products, I went to ninety-nine American stores and bought a pair of presbyopic glasses.

A few days later, I sent this pair of presbyopic glasses to my doctor friend and asked him to check if there was any quality problem.

The doctor said after examination that the quality was very good and asked where I bought it.

After hearing this conclusion, I immediately went to ninety-nine beautiful points to buy five pairs of glasses.

It's really cheap. With these old glasses, I put one at home and in the car and I don't need to wear old glasses everywhere.

I like doing some sports and climbing mountains.

About 2004, I bought several pairs of climbing shoes, and the cheapest one was Nike's pair of climbing shoes.

The price at that time was 89.95 dollars.

Just a few days ago, when I went to WAL-MART for Christmas shopping, I found that WAL-MART was selling a mountain climbing shoes produced by the mainland. Surprisingly, the price was only 2.99 dollars.

And half price offers for second pairs.

In other words, it costs only 3.49 dollars to buy two pairs of continental mountaineering shoes.

This is quite shocking.

According to traditional American business practices, the price of mainland produced glasses will not exceed fifty cents, and if the freight and customs duties are deducted, the price will be less than forty-five cents.

The price of mainland climbing shoes will not exceed $one point five after they arrive in the United States.

If freight and tariff are deducted, the price of mainland factory export is only about US $one point three.

This pair of mountaineering shoes from mainland China is equivalent to the current exchange rate of RMB to us dollar, less than ten yuan.

I was very surprised and shocked at this.

I called an economic official in Beijing, and I asked him, "can you buy ten pairs of mountaineering shoes on the mainland?"

The official said to me, "what time is it, and in the mainland, where is there a pair of shoes of ten yuan?

You also need to buy hiking shoes, three hundred yuan or bad brand, and a good one will cost more than 1000 yuan.

I said, "I bought it in the United States, I will not deceive you." the official did not believe me: "don't be a stranger to the United States. If the United States has such cheap shoes, you will be able to sell it to the mainland and make money."

But I really did not deceive the Chinese official. I bought this product in WAL-MART store.

Soon, I told this to my friends that all the old Americans ran to WAL-MART to buy Chinese mountaineering shoes. A friend bought a dozen pairs of them.

On Friday, I talked to a friend who was investing in the mainland. The Taiwan businessman said to me, "this is normal. Now the situation is that the same commodity sold in the United States is cheaper than China."

I was surprised and asked him, "why?"

"Mainland workers are cheap and cheap," the friend said. "There is no insurance in the United States, and there is no trade union. How can the price be low?

"The Chinese export is all about competition, not raising prices, but exporting each other's prices." I said, "I know all this, but the question I ask is why the price of the same goods sold on the mainland is higher than that of the US."

The friend said, "do you still know about the mainland economy?

The mainland is fraudulent everywhere, and the amount of money owed by traders is widespread. Producers can only increase their factory prices to protect their profits. Besides, the mainland market is very big, but in fact it is very small. Where do people buy hiking shoes and running shoes?

Those who can buy mountaineering shoes are those with high consumption and rich leisure.

But the export is different. As long as you sign a contract with foreign businessmen, basically you don't have to worry. American Importers give you a letter of credit, you can go to the bank mortgage, after you deliver the goods, you will get the money, no trouble, little money, but little risk.

I believe that this friend's explanation is reasonable, but I don't think this is all the reason.

In the process of production and sale of a product, production is one of the links, and circulation is also very important. As a result, I find some commercial circulation information of the mainland.

As a result, I found an important problem.

The mainland media reported that the railway freight pport on the mainland is overloaded at present. If we want to apply for an index of wagon, according to the situation in different parts of the country, the extra cost beyond the freight rate should be between five thousand and fifty thousand yuan.

However, the toll of Expressway in mainland China is serious, and the abuse of power by the high level highway police fines is much more.

According to mainland reports, the air ticket between Guangzhou and Beijing is about one thousand and two hundred RMB.

The special ticket is about 700 RMB.

But you may not know that if you drive from Guangzhou to Beijing, only the toll on the expressway will be as high as one thousand and four hundred yuan.

Besides, you haven't encountered any official inspection along the way. If you meet with official inspection, you may spend more than three thousand RMB for any reason.

According to a mainland media report, a driver who delivers goods from Guangzhou to Beijing says that there is an extra cost of seven thousand yuan for each round trip, which is not a gas charge or an auto repair fee, but a fine and extortion without cause.

However, do you know that although the cost of shipping from the mainland to the United States has increased a lot this year, a forty foot container freight rate is only $more than 3000.

The equivalent of RMB is only more than 20000 yuan.

From this price point of view, if the goods shipped from the mainland to the United States are cheaper than shipping goods from mainland Guangzhou to Beijing sea,

I never deny China's economic progress in recent years, but economic progress does not mean that everything is fine.

On the contrary, short term economic progress may bring more problems, especially the challenges ahead.

China is now at the crossroads, and at the crossroads on the edge of the cliff.

On the one hand, China has become a major exporter of the world, but on the other hand, China has become a country with high domestic prices.

On the contrary, the United States has become the best shopping center in the world because of Chinese exports.

Isn't this a reversed world?

Due to regional separatism and local protectionism, the cost of commodity circulation has seriously hampered the development of commodity economy.

At the same time, the disregard of the people and trade unions resulted in the formation of the labor class as a disadvantaged group, the increase of labor wages and the inexpansion of domestic domestic demand, and the public ownership of land also caused the mineral resources to be appropriatied without interest by the interest groups, and the cost of resources could not be properly reflected. China's enterprises as a whole did not have perfect judicial protection and fair judicial system. The result is that the products of the enterprises prefer to export at a low price and do not want to risk domestic sales.

In this way, a large number of resources and manpower have been contributed to the western developed countries.

There was a surprisingly low price product.

Someone once asked me, "is there a conspiracy in the United States to conspire to eat China?"

I reply to them: "every country has its own secret.

Not only the state, but also the business, the group and the individual.

Otherwise, there will be no privacy.

Businessmen are plotting every day, speaking good business plan, but this plan is internal, external will not be announced, otherwise there will be no concept of commercial secrets.

From a certain point of view, businessmen are always engaged in business plans. When you think the business plan is not public, the simulation is of course a conspiracy.

So businessmen are living in conspiracies all their lives.

The same is true of countries.

But you can't categorize any country's mistakes in other countries' conspiracies. Do you have other countries' own development strategies?

If you don't succeed, you need to find problems in yourself.

Did Americans force you to sell the old glasses to ninety-nine cents?

Did Americans force you to sell a pair of mountaineering shoes for 2.99 dollars?

These goods are sold to the United States by yourself, and you are glad to sell them to the United States.

Because you know that once you sell it to a domestic company, you may sell it back to the United States because you can't get the money back and sell it to the United States, and you earn money.

The government also has tax revenue.

As a businessman, he can consider this because he is an individual. He is not a person or organization elected by the people to manage the country.

But as a government, we should be responsible for such problems.

The government should consider what problems it has and how it will affect China's future.

I once asked a businessman who invested in China: "you invest in China, China has brought you money. What have you brought to China?"

The businessman listened to the alarm, but quickly said, "China does not need me to bring anything. The Chinese government is so rich that I pay taxes well. Besides, I brought them GDP, which is enough for the local government."

I asked, "didn't you think about pollution and the loss of resources in the mainland?"

The businessman retorted me: "the equipment I use is the best in the area. Although I have brought pollution to the mainland, you do not know that if we were not foreign businessmen, the local entrepreneurs would bring more pollution to the mainland. They were familiar with local officials. After a meal, even the most basic environmental protection equipment was removed.

I don't believe you can see that the best companies in environmental protection are wholly foreign owned enterprises, followed by joint ventures, and almost no local enterprises have environmental protection facilities.

As for the waste of resources, that is the problem of the Chinese government's own management. If we do not go, others will waste it. When resources are cheap enough, who will invest in better equipment, we are only businessmen, and we can only survive by competition.

The cause of public welfare needs the government to do it. Why should we take responsibility?

Originally, businessmen and government are different, businessmen can only consider their own money, but if the government thinks this way, then the society is dangerous.

The United States is a typical example of an elite country, but in the United States, these elites are elected because they are elected, so they have to think about those stupid people.

So in the United States, everything needs to be assessed and people's consent is needed.

The elite have to consider their decisions from the long-term interests of the United States.

Someone once asked me, "is China now trapped in the trap of American people?"

I replied, "all countries in the world are competing. Who are you in the trap of others?

Did someone else intentionally set a trap for you, you yourself foolishly went in, you still do not admit your stupidity, blame others for not seeing your stupidity, and pull you before you enter the trap?

But the question is, you are competitors, others pull you, but will you give the meat that you have grabbed to the United States?

The problem of RMB appreciation in China is such a situation: China's economy has developed, but it is not the international resources, but the large US dollar.

If the United States wants to depreciate the US dollar, you lose the money if you throw the dollar, and the more you throw, the greater the depreciation of the US dollar, the greater the loss.

But if you want to change the US dollar into euros, you find that the euro appreciates more and you lose the euro.

And in selling dollars for Euro sales, you may lose all your economic achievements over the past few years.

As a result, China has to hold large sums of dollars and get beaten there.

Throwing is not, nor is it difficult.

Competition is like this. The world is developing from the beginning.
