In the 80s, in order to attract Hong Kong businessmen and Chinese businessmen from Southeast Asia to come back to invest, the mainland actually gave a lot of green lights, of course, in that era, even if the green light was given, there were still people who were unwilling to come back to invest.

At that time, since the mid-80s, ASEAN countries Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore have become hot spots for Hong Kong manufacturers. After entering the 90s, Hong Kong's investment enthusiasm for ASEAN has increased, and the amount of investment has risen sharply, a trend that will have a significant impact on Hong Kong's economic development. Investment in ASEAN has grown from small to largeHong Kong's investment in ASEAN began as early as the 50s.

But they are wary of the mainland!

I rabbit saw that this is not good, and then add fire, one fire will not work, two fires, two fires will not work, three fires. As long as there is enough temptation, you can throw away everything that is temperate or something. Risks can also be ignored!

Well, sure enough, the fish still came.

Whether it is Guo Henian, Li Ka-shing, Xie Guomin, Zheng Yutong, and others, they have not only the reason why businessmen are optimistic about the huge population of the mainland, but also the enthusiasm for serving the country through industry. So the two sides hit it off. (Merchants are still profit-seeking!)

Guo Henian, Li Ka-shing, Xie Guomin, Zheng Yutong and others are known as the four major families in Hong Kong, of course, you just listen to it. It's like the four princes of the capital, it's probably the same, it's just a title.

These Hong Kong businessmen brought back huge sums of money, and the mainland provided cheap land and labor. Then there was an example, and after the effect of the daughter buying horse bones came out, other places and other countries began to enter the Chinese market.

So, it didn't take long for the World Factory to be born.

Some people say that the factory of the world is just a nice name, essentially a sweatshop. Actually, not exactly, you know, there are many countries that are willing to become this kind of sweatshop, but even if you are willing to pay blood sweat, you can't do it.

The world factory is a manufacturing base that provides large-scale industrial products to the world market. There is no clear definition in the economics literature. From the perspective of the historical process of industrial development, after Britain completed the industrial revolution in the 18th century, the large-scale machine industry replaced the production mode of manual industry, greatly improved the industrial production efficiency, opened up new categories of industrial production, and exported industrial products to all parts of the world with the cooperation of the colonial gunboat policy. It can be said that Britain was the factory of the world at that time.

From the late 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, the United States replaced Britain and became the world's industrial power, ranking among the top in the world in terms of production scale and export share in various fields such as steel, automobiles, chemicals, machinery and equipment, aircraft manufacturing, electrical products, medicine and military equipment, and became an important base for the world's industrial exports.

From the 60s to the 80s of the 20th century, Japan's industry gradually shifted from being dominated by the export of heavy chemical industrial products to being dominated by the export of mechanical and electronic products with high added value, and became a major producer and exporter of technology-intensive products such as mechanical and electrical equipment, automobiles, household appliances, and semiconductors. It is also a world factory!

Since the nineties, China has finally taken over the big stick of the world and become the new world factory.

According to the historical investigation of the industrial development of Britain, the United States and Japan, in order to become the world's factory, the country's industry must have the production capacity of a series of important production sectors and its share in the world market in the forefront, and a large number of industrial enterprises have become the vanguard of the world's manufacturing industry, and their production and business activities can have a significant impact on the supply, demand and development trends of the world market.

Under the requirements of the times and environmental conditions, only China meets this requirement at this time.

Of course, because of China's current special national conditions and circumstances, China in the nineties was still only at the first level of the world's factory. In other words, because of the cheap labor in developing countries, transnational corporations use developing countries as production and processing bases for industrial products.

The supply of raw materials and components and the sale of finished products are controlled by multinational corporations, which maximize profits through large inflows and large outflows. As a country with a production and processing base, China is mainly to earn labor costs and achieve labor employment for the time being.

Because it doesn't earn much, it mainly solves the job requirements of 1.4 billion people, so many people will say that becoming the world's factory is synonymous with sweatshops. In fact, this is also a helpless thing, this process, that country has experienced.

is as strong as the United States, the world's largest military power, and there were times when it was a sweatshop.

Who hasn't grown up like this? Without hardships and hard work in the early stage, how can there be a comfortable life in the later stage?

As a reborn, He Zilong would not be called a reborn if he did not take advantage of Hong Kong's connections in the 90s and his partners who could be called Hong Kong businessmen. After all, in another decade or so, Hong Kong and foreign businessmen will not be worth much.

The benefits are not used, and they will be invalid when they expire.

In later generations, China has been very developed, with a GDP of more than 10 trillion US dollars, compared to Hong Kong in one or two decades, although it is already one of the most prosperous places in the world, there are already four such big cities in the mainland.

In later generations alone, Shenzhen is already very close to Hong Kong, and the GDP of the whole Shenzhen is more than that of the whole of Taiwan. At that time, the mainland's thirst for capital was already very low, and since Lenovo acquired IBM's computer business in 2004, Chinese companies have begun to operate global capital. Hong Kong and Taiwan X, it's not enough to watch.

Naturally, preferential policies have been reduced or even eliminated.

In later generations, Hong Kong businessmen, or Taiwanese businessmen, or Southeast Asian Chinese businessmen represented by the four major families in Hong Kong, their privileged era in the mainland is gone forever. In the 80s, when overseas Chinese returned to the mainland to invest, they must have been welcomed. It's almost the same as the treatment of Jack Ma when he goes to a small African country now, the leader greets him, and then arranges for a bunch of primary school students to go to the airport to welcome him and give him a warm welcome.

Whether it is Li Ka-shing, or Cheng Yutong, or Lee Shau-kee, they have all enjoyed this kind of treatment.

For example, Li Ka-shing, the richest man in China, was just a second-rate rich man in Hong Kong before he landed in Tiananmen Square in 1978, and the richest person in Hong Kong at that time was probably the British family behind Pao Yugang and the four major foreign companies. At that time, although Li Ka-shing was involved in real estate, he was mainly engaged in the production of plastic flowers.

At that time, Li Ka-shing's funds were not enough, but Shen Bi of HSBC gave him the green light all the way, not only bought more than 20% of Hutchison Whampoa shares at one-third of the market price, but also allowed Li Ka-shing to pay after half a year. In other words, Li Ka-shing can use the shares of Hutchison Whampoa to pledge, and then repay the money for the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa. It has to be said that this is because Li Ka-shing has some kind of privileged support. After that, Li Ka-shing became the richest man in Hong Kong.

The enormous wealth and quantity of Hong Kong's tycoons is due to the enormous privileges provided by the mainland and the aggressive and intelligent intellect of Hong Kong people. And in the Hereafter, the benefits expire and do not wait for the future.

That time has passed, when the mainland was no longer hungry for money, and they no longer enjoyed privileges. It's normal, too!
