Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 336 Rural e-commerce sets sail
Farmers in Australia have been very unhappy recently.

Chinese consumers are boycotting Australian products.

For a time, Australia's agricultural exports were most affected.

As we all know, many agricultural products have a limited shelf life. Once they cannot be sold, they will rot, causing huge losses to farmers.

Farmers know very well that why their exports of agricultural products have dropped significantly is not because those damn miners have raised the price of iron ore and offended Chinese consumers!
"How come the miners are making a lot of money, but in the end we have to suffer huge losses!!!" Several large farmers in Australia gathered together to complain. One of the farmers had a bad temper. He was furious and roared loudly, expressing his strong dissatisfaction.

As soon as the words fell, everyone was furious.

"These people should all go to hell. They are greedy, cold-blooded, numb, and full of sin! Now, the whole of China is strongly boycotting our Australian agricultural products because of the increase in iron ore prices! Moreover, major supermarkets in China And all Chinese e-commerce websites have removed our agricultural products from the shelves, which will force us to go bankrupt!" A farmer said at the end, with a worried face.

Most of Australia's agricultural products are exported to China. Once the Chinese market is lost, at least 25% of the farms will face bankruptcy.

"According to the news I have received, American farmers are taking advantage of this situation, exporting agricultural products at low prices, and eating into our market share! I am very worried that even if the iron ore price increase incident becomes less popular, we have already lost China's Market share... Even though Australia has a very good relationship with the United States, the other side will never show mercy when they steal our business!!!"

"TMD, it's all the fault of those miners, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened!"

"We can't sit still and wait for death, we must take action and let the government see our attitude! We must not let the miners act recklessly and cause Chinese consumers to boycott our products!"

"Yes, we must unite and demonstrate to the country. If our demands cannot be met, we will continue the demonstration!!!"

"I agree!!"

"I agree too!!!"

"..."

Farmers across the country took action one after another and organized farm workers to demonstrate in cities. The momentum was so great that it caused a sensation throughout Australia.

After learning about the situation, many ordinary people expressed sympathy and subsequently joined the demonstrations.

Traffic jams are severe in major cities in Australia.

Serious vandalism even occurred in some areas.

"Good guy, the people of Australia are so awesome! There are so many people, it's so spectacular!"

"Keep on, keep on, I just like to watch foreigners demonstrating! It's so enviable, they don't have to go to work anymore~"

"Haha, that makes sense. No wonder so many people abroad go to demonstrations at every turn!"

"..."

When Chinese netizens saw the video of people demonstrating in Australia, they couldn't help but laugh and laugh.

The farmers' demonstrations naturally attracted the attention of the Australian government.

The increase in the price of iron ore is actually tacitly approved by the government, because in this way, the Chinese can make a lot of money, and at the same time, it can slow down China's development.

However, this time, I never expected that, somewhat self-defeating, the Chinese people would spontaneously boycott Australian products.

This makes the Australian government very helpless.

China said that we have not restricted the export of your agricultural products. You can export it, but no one buys it. This is your own fault. After all, when doing business, you must follow the laws of the market.The reason why Australian agricultural products cannot be sold in China is that they have offended Chinese consumers. As long as the price of iron ore is reduced and the anger of the Chinese people is calmed, then Australian agricultural products will definitely become popular again in China. stand up.

China's attitude has actually been made very clear, that is, it wants to reduce the price of iron ore in Australia. However, it is easy to increase the price of iron ore but difficult to reduce the price.

Australia does not want to give up this profit easily.

Therefore, in a short period of time, both sides suffered huge harm.

Australia's agriculture has become a victim of the game between the two sides.

Although China and Australia will soon resolve their differences, Australia has already laid the root of the problem.

China has clearly seen Australia's face and will no longer trust it.

Only China in the world consumes huge amounts of iron ore. When China is able to import large amounts of iron ore from Africa, Australia's mining industry will inevitably suffer a heavy blow, and mining is one of Australia's most important economic pillars. , then you can imagine what Australia will be like at that time once its economic pillar collapses!

In addition, Zhao Ye's plan to promote agriculture through science and technology is already being implemented, which will inevitably have a huge impact on Australia's agriculture.

The damage to Australia's agriculture will affect the entire Australian industrial chain, and the amount of losses Australia will lose is simply incalculable.

You said you, why don't you cooperate well, but you insist on committing suicide? You will be happy for a while, but regret it for the rest of your life.

Zhao Ye will never show mercy to his enemies.

The increase in the price of iron ore in Australia has caused huge losses to Zhao Ye. Zhao Ye cannot bear to swallow this feeling if he does not cause trouble to Australia.

…………

In about a month, China-Australia negotiations have made some progress.

The price of Australian iron ore has fallen, but is still 5% higher than before.

China has not deliberately boycotted Australian products and has resumed putting them on shelves.

However, Australian products have created a gap in the minds of Chinese consumers. Even if they are restored to shelves, few people will buy them.

In this generation, China's GDP has become the largest in the world, and its national self-confidence and cohesion are unprecedentedly strong.In addition, Wujiang Group has deliberately guided public opinion before, and has already made everyone recognize Australia's face, which has caused Chinese consumers to be very repulsive to Australian products.

……

In early March 2004, Alibaba, Taobao, and Amazon announced their plans to enter the rural market.

This caused a big shock in China’s e-commerce industry.

China's three leading e-commerce companies have entered rural areas one after another. Everyone is a little confused, but upon analysis, it seems that rural e-commerce companies are taking the lead.

At this time, the major media are frantically advocating that the trend is coming!

"my country's three major e-commerce giants are optimistic about rural e-commerce. What does this mean? This means that the trend is coming, and rural e-commerce has great potential! Half of China's population is in rural areas, with a population of [-] million. Such a huge market is simply overwhelming. People are salivating!”

"The trend of rural e-commerce has arrived, and this may be a huge opportunity to change your life!!!"

"..."

Major domestic investment institutions and e-commerce companies are also ready to take action.

However, it is more difficult to develop rural e-commerce. The investment alone may be more costly than developing e-commerce in cities.

Because this requires the establishment of service outlets in rural areas, and the logistics cost is relatively high.

Therefore, everyone decided to wait and see first.

It’s not too late to have a good meal. If rural e-commerce really takes off, it won’t be too late for them to get involved.

If we can’t eat meat, let’s just drink soup.

At this time, Alibaba, Taobao, and Amazon were ready to quickly dispatch personnel to establish service outlets in various villages across the country.

The three major e-commerce websites are not afraid of burning money at all and have completed the layout of their outlets very quickly.

The purpose of rural e-commerce is mainly to help farmers. Each outlet is actually more like an agricultural product purchase station. It signs agreements with local people and then sells them online. It can also be sold directly to supermarkets and wet markets.

……

Sanhe Township is a poor township. Recently, a Taobao service outlet suddenly opened in the center of the township.

When the Taobao service outlets opened, there were noisy gongs and drums, and firecrackers were blasting. It was very lively, and the mayor and many township cadres came to congratulate them. This aroused the curiosity of many local people.

"Taobao service outlet? What does this store do? I didn't see anything sold in the store!" The old farmer stretched his neck to look into the store, his face full of confusion.

Not everyone around me didn’t know the name Taobao. Then someone introduced Taobao to everyone as an online e-commerce platform.

However, many farmers still don’t understand.

In fact, let alone them, there are many people in big cities who don’t know what e-commerce is.

When Alibaba, Taobao and Amazon enter rural e-commerce, the biggest difficulty is communicating with local people.

Therefore, it is best to cooperate with the local township government and let township cadres introduce to the people what e-commerce is and persuade them to open online stores or sign an agricultural product sales agreement with the platform.

The people of Sanhe Township may not trust Taobao service outlets, but they still have some trust in the words of township leaders.

On the same day, the cadres of Sanhe Township began to work.

As the saying goes, "Everything is difficult at the beginning." Because local people do not understand e-commerce and are worried about being cheated, many township cadres have given up and few are willing to cooperate.

Of course, not everyone is adventurous.

Soon some people reached cooperation with service outlets and let the platform sell agricultural products for them.

Old man Liu trusted the mayor's words, so he signed an agreement with a Taobao service outlet and handed over his walnuts to Taobao for sale.

However, he never expected that on the second day after signing the agreement, all the walnuts in his home were sold out...
