Chapter 282 The Way of Copycat (Third update, please subscribe)

“Let’s take time to continue improving it in the future.”

Li Yian said to himself as he put the traveler's diary, which was full of wealth codes, into the safe.

The diary takes a long time to complete. After all, it is the memory that has been enhanced after time travel, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

But it was written on the first page of that time-travel diary. It’s the coming “baby boom.”

The future baby boom is a blue ocean!

How blue is this blue ocean?

The kind that is as deep as the bottom!

Not only does it have tens of millions of potential users, but more importantly, it also has parents who are willing to spend money.

This generation of American youth is different from any other generation. Why are they called the "Great Generation".

Not just because they fought in World War II, liberated Europe or, as Americans say, "brought freedom to the world."

In fact, it's more...praising my father.

Because fathers of this generation are really good to their children.

Unlike any generation of Americans, these dads grew up amid the scarcity of the Great Depression, and spent several years as adults struggling on muddy battlefields.

The men who came back alive always couldn't help but think about giving their children the best, not only to compensate for the hunger and lack of materials in their youth, but also to comfort the trauma in their hearts - to live a better life.

Therefore, they are willing to spend money on their children.

Why did toy brands and children’s product brands emerge one after another after World War II? It’s because of a simple reason – parents are willing and willing to spend money on their children.

Of course, this is also related to the economic prosperity of the United States after the war, which has rapidly expanded the income level of Americans. And the whole society can benefit from it - the son of a worker does not even earn less than his father who is a professor. The increase in income makes them willing to spend money on their children.

As a result, "luxury" strollers and various toys that were once only reserved for rich children have entered thousands of households.

In fact, parents all over the world are the same and want the best for their children.

"You must seize this blue ocean!"

Thinking in his heart, Li Yian recalled the toys he had seen before. As soon as he recalled them, he found quite a few.

From simple yo-yos to more complex Lego blocks, from hula hoops to Rubik's Cubes, while all kinds of toys were displayed in his mind, Li Yian was also a little confused, because... although he knew, not all toys They all do it.

"No, these are just small coins!"

Suddenly, Li Yian paused the pen in his hand and said as if he suddenly realized something.

"The money-making business is not just about baby products, it's also about houses!"

Now there is a housing tension in Borneo, and this is just Borneo. The real tension is in the United States!

With the end of the war, tens of millions of soldiers will return home.

What will they do?

Of course, they sleep with their long-lost wives and lovers, and basically all of them are wolves, the kind that go up to the sky and go down to the sun and the earth, and all of them have turned into baby seeders. This is almost the case in any military, and it is also the case when soldiers return home after demobilization.

But never in history has such a large army retired in such a short period of time.

That’s tens of millions of soldiers!

The direct consequence of this group of guys is to promote the "baby boom", with millions of babies being born and millions of men and women getting married.

The pent-up demand for housing since the Great Depression was quickly unleashed by newlyweds and the baby boom.

How many houses does the United States need at a minimum?

At least four to five million houses, and the kind that must be solved immediately. Obviously, this kind of demand that needs to be solved immediately cannot be completed in the short term.

"The speed of building houses in Borneo is still very fast!" Li Yian said proudly with the corner of his mouth raised.

"Those prefabricated houses can just fill the gap in the American market."

The construction speed of wooden houses on the assembly line is indeed very fast. A dozen workers can assemble a house in one to two days. In just three months, six factories in Borneo have provided more than 10,000 two-and-a-half-story houses. small western-style building. This kind of construction speed is unimaginable in any other country.

"Then develop a prefabricated house suitable for the American market!"

Many things became very simple after having an idea. Under Li Yian's instructions, the designers immediately started researching prefabricated houses suitable for the American market.

In fact, it’s not just houses. The market brought about by the formation of millions of new families is extremely broad.

From house decoration materials to basic indoor necessities, even the most common curtains are in astonishing demand. Just like in another world, the real estate boom that began in the 00s has driven the development of dozens of industries. The interior decoration materials, decoration materials and furniture industries were all advancing by leaps and bounds. At that time, as long as they caught the wind, even a pig could fly.

The only question is what kind of products the post-war American market needs!

Only by solving this problem can targeted production, or in other words, targeted copycats, be possible, thereby seizing this blue ocean from houses to baby products to household appliances, household products and decorative materials.

If we miss this opportunity, we will miss a great opportunity for the rise of Borneo.

Because this market is not a blue ocean, but the vast Pacific Ocean.

It's not a simple wind outlet, but the kind of super storm.

In such a storm, not to mention a pig, even an elephant can soar into the sky!

“First of all, we need to improve a business investigation agency to track the needs of the U.S. market at all times.”

Li Yian wrote this on his notepad.

The reason why we need to keep a close eye on the U.S. market is because only the Americans have U.S. dollars. As early as 44, the "Braid Woods System" was established, which determined the hard currency status of the U.S. dollar. This also determined that the post-war world was dominated by the U.S. dollar. In this world, the U.S. dollar, as a hard currency, can circulate freely around the world. Unfortunately, the whole world is in a "dollar shortage". The whole world wants to earn U.S. dollars from Americans with deep pockets, and then buy the supplies their countries need.

Therefore, if you want to make money, you must earn "daole". Instead of going to the United States to make money from the rich, how about going to Europe to make money from the poor?

In fact, Europeans are also very wealthy. A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Soon they will become wealthy again.

“Follow the market, find best-selling products, and then copy them…”

Just when Li Yi'an was writing various policies for "copycat" power in his notebook, especially following the market to collect intelligence, establishing a professional business intelligence collection agency in the United States, and analyzing and tracking its market products, suddenly, his The pen paused,

"It seems there are other shortcuts!"

shortcut?

There may not be any shortcuts if it were someone else, but it's different here with Li Yian...

Fortunately, there is a system!

There are tens of thousands of products in the system mall, and they are all popular products in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

"There are shopping malls here and there. They are clearly at the forefront of fashion!"

Browsing the dazzling array of products in the mall carefully, although in Li Yian's eyes they looked a bit unfair and even a bit vulgar, they were definitely in line with the aesthetics and trends of this era.

As long as these products are produced as "copycats", they will definitely be welcomed and sought after by the market.

What comes out of copycats is not just products, but also technology, because the products in the system mall are slightly ahead of the times to a certain extent. They are all products from the late 1940s and early 1950s, so technically they are naturally inferior. It is also ahead of similar products on the market.

"Hey, this is the real purpose of the system mall. Its existence itself is used to smuggle technology. Look, the layout is limited!"

While laughing at himself, Li Yian couldn't help but sigh.

"It turns out that this is the correct way to open the system!"
