Chapter 254: Starting Work

The joining of Harbin Institute of Technology was invited by the Laizhou Municipal Government, which joined forces to invite them over, on the side of Chen Guangwei.

Once Guangwei can mass-produce carbon fiber, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the Laizhou Municipal Government. So that side is also quite active for this project, giving Guangwei tax exemptions and providing quite a few subsidies.

Hanxi Jiaoda, Xigongda, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Academician Shi successively joined the R&D of the carbon fiber fishing rod project, which made Li Dongling breathe a sigh of relief.

The R&D of the carbon fiber project requires smashing money for R&D on the one hand, but more of it is the input in academics and R&D. Li Dongling can't intervene much in this point.

In the previous life, Guangwei researched carbon fiber, which was really researched by Professor Du of the Material Department of Harbin Institute of Technology by hard chiseling. Chen Guangwei put the family fortune of Guangwei and himself into it.

Now, the carbon fiber fishing rod Li Dongling is doing has much more sufficient R&D power and funding than the R&D power and funding Chen Guangwei invested in his previous life. Li Dongling doesn't know how many years it will take to start mass production of carbon fiber.

"Dear audience friends, the place where I am is the construction site of the Oriental Era project. As of today, the users at the project location have all signed the demolition compensation agreement, and the Oriental Era project will officially start..."

"Carrefour and Japan's Aeon Mall have successively entered the mainland this year, and Walmart will also enter the country next year. Li Zong, what do you think of these foreign malls?!"

"Rumble"

Li Dongling glanced at the reporter and said. Asia is about to fail to hold on. The price war with other malls has left it with no profit at all. Losing money to earn a shout, Asia and other malls have fought a price war, and the profit is only 1%. What concept is this? It is completely losing money to earn a shout.

The demolition money given by the Oriental Era project is 25% higher than the demolition standard of Pingyang, and the compensation given is also generous enough, which basically did not encounter any resistance in demolition.

This question, if it is said that it cannot compare to overseas malls like Walmart, Carrefour, Aeon, etc., then the media will have to edit it, directly reporting that the Oriental Era mall has a big gap with these overseas malls.

"Does Li Zong mean that the Oriental Era mall will surpass Carrefour, Walmart, and Aeon?!" The reporter still asked with a bit of aggressive questioning.

Coupled with rapid expansion, Asia's supply chain and capital chain were stretched to the limit, and it needed to continuously borrow from banks to maintain it. When the bank stops lending, it is the time when Asia falls. This point has nothing to discuss.

Education and housing are the main themes of the country for the next twenty or thirty years. As long as you hold these two, the Oriental Era mall can walk sideways in major cities in the country!

Although today, most of the people who came were local media reporters from Pingyang and Hanxi, not all media touted the Oriental Era project because of Li Dongling and the Oriental Era. There were also questions.

This year is the first year that foreign malls have flooded into the country. Large malls from Japan, South Korea, France, and America have flooded into the country on a large scale. These malls have operated overseas for many years, possess powerful supply chains nationwide, and coupled with modern services and various routines, they have directly formed a dimensionality reduction strike against mainland local malls. It is estimated that various malls are simply not opponents.

But, before opening 125 malls, after opening only a dozen malls, Asia had negative news frequently, and the news of dragging down suppliers' payments frequently appeared in newspapers. This highest mountain in the domestic retail industry has a trend of collapsing!

"Oriental Era is not the next anyone, nor does it need to become anyone. Other malls cannot represent Oriental Era either!"

In an open space, surrounded by a group of reporters and media, Li Dongling, Li Dongshan, and several hired executives of Oriental Era were all here, preparing for the construction commencement ceremony later.

Li Dongling doesn't expect to be able to eat into a fat man in one breath, directly researching carbon fiber with T700 and T800 strength. As long as he can research the T300 researched by Japan's Toray twenty years ago, it is enough!

Researching carbon fiber will definitely not lose money. As long as it is researched, not to mention that it will be used in rockets, aviation, fighter jets, etc.

Li Dongling glanced at the reporter, and his expression did not change much. "I said, only local malls are the ones who understand domestic consumers best. Time will prove everything!"

Li Dongling patted Li Dongshan's arm lightly. Seeing Li Dongling, Li Dongshan clearly breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed a few smiles in front of the camera.

A host from Pingyang TV station stood in front of the camera lens, introducing the Oriental Era project to the Pingyang audience in front of the TV.

"Li Zong, what do you think of Asia, the pride of domestic malls? Rumor has it that Asia may go bankrupt next year!"

Local malls are like this, and the sales method of the supply and marketing cooperative, which still stays in the sales method of decades ago, has directly begun to face defeat in major cities.

"Foreign monks will chant scriptures, but I believe this is only temporary. The ones who truly understand mainland consumers must be local malls!" Li Dongling said.

Li Dongshan heard something wrong at this time, and a bit of worry appeared on his face.

A few months ago, the scene that appeared in Shangguan Town appeared again in the East District of Pingyang City. Excavators, bulldozers, and transport vehicles drove into the East District in a mighty way, starting to demolish here. This place has become the land for the Oriental Era mall, Oriental Era Plaza, and the warehousing and logistics park.

If it is said that it cannot compare, then the media will definitely break the news that the Oriental Era mall is arrogant, and a new mall with no name dares to say that it surpasses the old retail giants abroad.

After becoming popular in one shot, Asia, under the leadership of Wang Suizhou, opened up territory everywhere, shouting the bold words of establishing 125 malls in the country within five years and breaking 50 billion in annual turnover, which pushed Asia to the peak.

Li Dongshan was also in a suit. He, who did not often appear in the camera, was clearly a bit nervous at this time, and his body was very tight.

Li Dongling does not believe that, taking out the service of Pang Donglai in the previous life, and then equipped with international schools, top educational resources, mid-to-high-end luxury houses, and various Buffs stacked full of Oriental Era, it cannot compare to those few Walmarts. If it can still lose, then Li Dongling really lost helplessly.

Asia mall was hot in the country a few years ago, not only making countless people in Henan Province go for it, but also through the news of the central media, making the whole country recognize this mall.

Just the carbon fiber of domestic fishing rods is enough to earn back the cost. As long as it can be mass-produced, it can form an industrial base around domestic carbon fiber, provide raw materials for hundreds of fishing rod manufacturers and automotive material manufacturers, and form an industry with more than 100,000 practitioners. The R&D funding invested is definitely able to earn back the cost.

At this time, there were reporters asking about the rumors of Asia mall, the highest mountain in the domestic retail industry.

Hearing this, the surrounding reporters and media were in an uproar. Although Li Dongling did not clearly say that Oriental Era can compare to Walmart, Carrefour, etc., the meaning in these words clearly determined that the Oriental Era mall is not inferior to the other side.

But, once Asia falls, the entire domestic retail industry will basically suffer heavy damage. Coupled with the large-scale entry of Walmart, Aeon, Carrefour, etc. into the domestic retail industry, domestic local retail malls have almost no power to fight back and directly lay down, allowing the domestic mid-to-high-end retail market to be almost taken down by Walmart, Carrefour, Aeon, etc. without a fight!

However, now, with the appearance of Oriental Era, if Walmart and others want to easily harvest the domestic retail industry, they have to ask if Oriental Era agrees. Asia is about to fall, and the Oriental Era mall has to carry the banner of mainland local retail malls against foreign malls!
