The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

"It is not that easy to conduct entrepot trade. Some domestic enterprises have tried to circumvent tariffs through entrepot trade, but the actual operation is fraught with difficulties. Entrepot trade involves complex logistics, customs declaration and other processes, which not only increases the operating costs and management difficulties of enterprises, but also the United States has strengthened its supervision of entrepot trade. Once enterprises operate improperly, they may face the risk of anti-circumvention investigations, and may lose everything under the current US legal system."

"Damn it, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Is this US president crazy? He increases tariffs so high, doesn't he see that the people of his own country are almost unable to survive?" Xia Haoqi's face was full of indignation.

"In the long run, the only way is to deepen digital transformation in accordance with national policy guidance, improve operational efficiency through AI, big data, etc., and deepen the domestic market; the second is to expand emerging markets and reduce dependence on the US market." Xia Haogang said softly.

"This is all bullshit. Developing the domestic market? Aren't we doing enough? The domestic market has long been saturated. Now we are just engaging in a price war, losing money to gain publicity. As for developing emerging markets? Can you just do it with a word? Where are the customers? Who needs our products? How can we contact them? This is completely blind."

"Second brother, watch the attitude when you speak." Father Xia criticized.

"I'm sorry, brother. I'm not targeting you. I'm just mad at the high tariffs." Xia Haoqi apologized immediately.

"It's okay, I understand." Xia Haogang smiled, which was rare, but his smile was full of bitterness: "The domestic market has always been seriously inward-looking. In the past few years, various provinces have started regional protection, which has caused our product sales in other provinces to drop by 30%, and in some provinces even dropped by 40%. This forced us to turn our attention to foreign markets. We didn't expect that when the momentum was slightly on the right track, we would encounter the high tariff policy of the US President. Life is a bit difficult."

"Has the country arranged several global import and export commodity fairs recently? Are there any clothing-related ones? Has our company applied to participate in the exhibition?" Xia Yimeng asked.

"Yes, there will be a global clothing product exhibition in Guangzhou soon. Our company has applied to participate in the exhibition and has been approved. The eldest son is in charge of this matter." Manager Zhang, head of the foreign trade department, replied.

"Yes, Dad. This Import and Export Commodities Fair (Canton Fair) is very large, with a total exhibition area of ​​more than 52 square meters and 5100 booths. It has attracted companies to participate in the exhibition, including more than 216 high-quality and characteristic enterprises such as national high-tech enterprises, single champions in manufacturing, and specialized and innovative "little giants". It is said that this Canton Fair has attracted overseas buyers from countries and regions around the world to apply to participate. I have prepared our company's product information, promotional brochures, and some new product samples. When the time comes, I will personally lead a team to participate in this trade fair, hoping to gain some new customers from it." Xia Haogang replied solemnly.

"Okay, this Canton Fair is the most important thing for the company in the near future, so I'll leave it to you, eldest brother. Please prepare well. However, we must also continue to cultivate the domestic market. This is our foundation. If the internal competition is serious, we must find differentiation. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, clothing are the most basic needs of the people. The key is how our products can stand out among the thousands of products on the market. Our flagship products, the sports and leisure series, are mainly for young people. What do young people like nowadays and what kind of clothing style they like? This cannot be done by hiding in the office and dreaming up some high-brow designs. We must go to the market and look among the people. Second brother, the design of new models is left to you." Father Xia looked at his second son.

"I understand, Dad. We have always asked designers to conduct in-depth market research. The current new products are also down-to-earth designs. Don't worry, I will handle this work well."

Xia Haoqi is now serious, but sometimes he cannot control his bad temper. However, he is far different from his previous image of a carefree young man.

"That's it for now. The overall environment is like this, and the entire industry is struggling. We can't rely on individuals to come up with a solution in a short period of time, but everyone should have confidence. With the support of a strong country, as long as we work hard, we will surely be able to move towards glory again. Let's go and do our work. Second brother, you stay for a while."

At the end of the meeting, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, silently packed up their belongings and quietly left the meeting room.

When most of the people had left, Xia Yimeng turned around and asked Xia Haoqi, who was still sitting on the chair, "What's the latest news from the third brother?"

"Third brother? I haven't been in touch with him recently, so he should be doing well. I haven't heard any negative news about him." Xia Haoqi scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.

No one said a word during the entire meeting. Mother Xia, who was just listening, spoke up at this moment: "The third child and Jingyi are doing well. The company is developing on schedule. Their relationship is very stable. The baby in her belly is also very healthy. Yesterday, the third child accompanied Jingyi to the hospital for a Down syndrome screening. Everything is fine."

Ever since Zeng Jingyi became pregnant, Mother Xia has never lost contact with her. The two of them chat on WeChat almost every day, so Mother Xia knows Xia Haoyang's current situation very well.

"Will the third brother and his wife return to Wenzhou on the 11th?" Xia Yimeng turned to look at his wife.

"Jingyi no longer has any work to do except releasing an album, and the third brother only needs to be busy with a variety show, which will be completed soon. Therefore, the two will definitely come back for Yuanxiu's baby's 100-day banquet in October, and I will ask the couple to stay at home for a while longer and take good care of Jingyi's pregnancy. Don't worry about these things, I know everything." Mother Xia nodded vigorously.

"The stock market has fallen again. It has been falling for a week straight. No, we need to get the fat guy to come up with a solution."

After returning to Yancheng from the icy and snowy Inner Mongolia, Juzi has been focusing on stocks for the past week.

If the high tariff policy initiated by the US president has the most direct impact on ordinary Chinese people, it is reflected in the stock market: since the US announced the "reciprocal tariff" policy, major stock markets around the world have generally fallen. For example, the Dow Jones Index fell by more than 20% in the past 8 days, and the Nasdaq Index fell by more than 20% in the past 10 days? In addition, stock markets in various countries also fell simultaneously, showing the linkage effect of the global capital market.

China's stock market was not immune. A-shares suffered a sharp drop on the first day after the Ghost Festival. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 7.34% and the Shenzhen Component Index plummeted 9.66%. More than 5200 stocks fell and more than 3000 hit the daily limit, setting the largest single-day drop in recent years.
