Chapter 17: Recent Developments of Municipal Enterprises – Everything is Back on Track!
end of June.
On a whim, Li Zhou used his mind to observe the latest situation of municipal enterprises.
As the ruler of the desert.
Li Zhou can intuitively understand anything that happens within the Oasis City.
The first municipal enterprise he observed was Oasis Short Video Co., Ltd.
Oasis Short Video Co., Ltd. is benchmarked against "Douyin Short Video".
The company's hundreds of employees were busy at work, and everyone's face was full of vigor, as if they were just about to write the word "struggle" on their faces.
Generally speaking
This only happens to startups.
Because the company is in its early stages, the hierarchy is not yet solidified, employees have countless opportunities for promotion, and everyone is highly motivated.
After observing for a while.
Li Zhou learned about the latest progress of Oasis Short Video Co., Ltd.
This municipal enterprise has not been established for long, but its corporate structure is already in place, with departments such as R&D, content creation, operations, and finance.
Clearly, the Oasis city government values this startup highly.
At this stage.
Oasis Short Video Co., Ltd. has successfully developed its first product – the Douyin short video app, which is expected to be launched on major app stores on September 1.
Li Zhou was very satisfied with this.
With the development of mobile internet and the widespread adoption of 4G networks, live streaming and short videos will experience explosive growth.
It's 2014 now.
Douyin (TikTok) short video platform has not yet been established.
In the short video field, there are companies such as Meipai, Kuaishou, Weishi, Miaopai, Weipai, Weikepai, Weiluke, Wanpai, and Paiku, but no national-level app has yet emerged in the industry.
This is the advantage of Douyin short videos.
As long as you keep burning money to seize the market and provide various subsidies to users, you can acquire a large number of users in a short period of time, thereby achieving network effects and forming strong market barriers and competitive advantages.
Take a restaurant as an example.
The restaurant market is a perfectly competitive market. As long as you have unique features, a good location, and a price advantage, it's never too late to open a restaurant.
However, in the Internet field, due to network effects and lock-in effects, natural monopolies or oligopolistic markets often form.
In mature markets, such as search engines and instant messaging, the majority of the market share has been taken over by national-level apps like Baidu, QQ, and WeChat.
New companies are burning through cash in these areas with little chance of success.
Short videos are a new industry.
It's very worthwhile to spend money on this now!
……
See Oasis Short Video Co., Ltd., which is now on the right track.
Li Zhou then turned his attention to Oasis E-commerce Co., Ltd.
Oasis E-commerce Co., Ltd. follows the group-buying e-commerce model, targeting Pinduoduo.
Inside the company at this moment.
The employees came and went, each focused on their task.
Like Oasis Short Video Co., Ltd.
The Oasis City Government attaches great importance to Oasis E-commerce Co., Ltd., investing heavily in recruitment and building the company's overall structure.
At present, Oasis E-commerce Co., Ltd. has developed its first product - Pinpinkan app, which will be launched on major app stores across the country on September 1.
Li Zhou remembered it clearly.
The once-popular national app Pinduoduo was founded in 2015.
Oasis E-commerce Co., Ltd., following the development path of Pinduoduo, focuses on the lower-tier market and the strategy of extreme cost-effectiveness through social fission, thereby gaining a share of the e-commerce market.
Pinduoduo's success is inseparable from the strategic adjustments made by Jingdong and Ali.
Jingdong has always pursued a high-end strategy.
Taobao is also starting to develop towards high-end brands.
In this way...
Merchants in the low-to-mid-end market have been marginalized.
The emergence of Pinduoduo in its previous life filled this gap, providing these merchants with a new platform.
Secondly, WeChat's infrastructure played a crucial role in the rise of Pinduoduo.
Pinduoduo has successfully reached a large number of users in lower-tier markets, especially residents of third-tier cities and below, by leveraging WeChat Pay and mini-programs.
Many of these users do not have Alipay accounts or WeChat Pay accounts linked to bank cards, but they have accumulated a certain amount of cash in their WeChat Pay accounts through activities such as grabbing red envelopes.
These were the early seed users of Pinduoduo.
In addition, young people have a split consumption habit: they try their best to save money where they should and spend money where they should.
Pinduoduo not only offers white-label products, but also provides billions in subsidies.
The 10 billion yuan subsidy not only made big-name products affordable and of high quality, but also built trust among users.
White-label products, on the other hand, attract users with low prices and generate customer loyalty.
Over time.
Pinduoduo quickly established itself in the e-commerce sector, becoming a top e-commerce giant with a peak market value exceeding $2000 billion.
Huang Zheng, the founder of Pinduoduo, was once the richest man in China.
Pinduoduo has not yet been established.
Oasis City naturally wanted to snatch the cake in the e-commerce sector ahead of time!
……
After Oasis E-commerce Co., Ltd. was developing smoothly, Li Zhou turned his attention to Oasis Construction Co., Ltd.
Oasis Construction Co., Ltd. is a municipal enterprise newly established by the Oasis Municipal Government after he lit up the "City Architecture Atlas".
The office space of Oasis Construction Co., Ltd. is located in the Oasis City Industrial Zone, and a steel structure factory building was constructed in the desert in just a few days to serve as the office area.
At this moment, the office area is bustling with people.
In terms of the number of employees.
The newly established Oasis Construction Co., Ltd. already has over a thousand employees.
There are all kinds of jobs available, including construction workers, managers, architectural designers, architectural engineers, surveyors, quality inspectors, safety officers, and standards officers.
Clearly, the Oasis City government has quickly established the company's overall structure.
Inside the steel structure factory building.
As far as the eye could see, construction machinery was piled up like mountains, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The first warehouse stores structural materials.
Logs, engineered timber, cement, ceramics, glass, steel, aluminum alloys, stone, building materials, and more—they have it all.
The second warehouse stores decorative materials and specialized materials.
Paints, coatings, platings, tiles, polymer rolls, polyurethane coatings, rock wool boards, intumescent waterproof coatings, epoxy resin coatings, and more – all are available.
The third warehouse stores machinery and equipment.
It encompasses all kinds of equipment, including excavators, bulldozers, scrapers, concrete mixers, loaders, graders, concrete mixer pumps, tower cranes, wheeled cranes, crawler cranes, construction hoists, static rollers, vibratory rollers, pile drivers, drilling machines, and more.
There are countless small pieces of equipment such as rebar cutters, rebar straighteners, hand-pushed concrete dump trucks, and chain hoists.
Other than that.
Oasis Construction Co., Ltd. has also established a series of research institutions within the company, including the Oasis Construction Design Institute, the Oasis Construction Engineering Institute, the Oasis Construction Technology Institute, and the Oasis Construction Machinery Institute.
Li Zhou knew it in his heart.
It is enhanced by four abilities from the [City Building Guide].
Oasis Construction Co., Ltd. will become a behemoth in the industry sooner or later!
……
Next.
Li Zhou then observed other municipal enterprises.
Oasis TV has already launched a series of variety shows and self-produced dramas, preparing to make a splash when they go live on October 1st.
Oasis Agriculture Co., Ltd., with its capabilities in increasing agricultural output and accelerating agricultural growth, has achieved great success in the agricultural sector.
Oasis Bank is preparing to establish the first internet bank in China, aiming to serve long-tail users that traditional banks cannot reach. At present, it is applying for internet banking licenses, consumer finance licenses, online micro-loan licenses, third-party payment licenses, personal credit reporting licenses, etc. Once it obtains the corresponding qualifications, it will be able to carry out internet financial business.
Oasis Automobile Co., Ltd. is engaged in the research and development and production of new energy vehicles. With the strong support of the Oasis Municipal Government, it has recruited hundreds of employees with rich industry experience. With the new energy electric vehicle blueprints provided by Li Zhou, the company's electric vehicle research and development time will be shortened considerably.
Oasis Petroleum Co., Ltd., Oasis Natural Gas Co., Ltd., and Oasis Mining Co., Ltd. have already begun mining oil, natural gas, and various mineral resources in the [Urban Mining Area].
We observed everything.
Li Zhou was very satisfied.
At present, the city-owned enterprises in Oasis City have all gotten back on track.
Over time.
They will all become top-tier players in their respective industries.
In the future, these municipal enterprises will continuously give back to Oasis City and contribute to the city's development!
