Chapter 139: Supermarket (Part II)

Hollick came with Johnson. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

First Johnson...... Li Mo handed the manuscript to Johnson, which is the second book Li Mo wrote, "Snowpiercer".

The reason why Li Mo chose this book is because he remembers the storyline in the movie very clearly, and he likes the ideas in it, and there are some flattering ...... What makes Americans prone to misunderstanding.

The negative effect is that the media in the United States may overinterpret it and spread it to the country, but with the phone number of Leader Wu, Li Mo can also have the opportunity to explain. Of course, if you don't ask above, he won't explain.

"Johnson, you look first. ”

"Okay. ”

Li Mo and Hao Like walked downstairs, just upstairs, did not go outside, even after 84, a foreigner appeared in Chao City, which would attract the curiosity of many people.

"Lee, here's what you want. ”

Li Mo flipped through the things he had brought.

After looking at it for a while, Li Mo frowned, because most of the materials brought by Hao Like were manufacturing industries, and they were some manufacturing industries with no special highlights, although they did need a lot of workers.

Investing in these manufacturing industries in the U.S. raises a problem...... It's not a tax, in China, if you pay taxes honestly, the taxes are not much less than in the United States.

The biggest issue is the wages of workers.

At present, a blue-collar worker in the United States earns more than two dollars a day, that is, a month's employment, and the salary, bonuses, plus overtime pay, and other miscellaneous items will reach more than $600. Even at the official exchange rate, one dollar was equivalent to 2.8 yuan at the end of '84, nearly 40 times the wages of Chinese workers. In the nineties, it was still like this, although the rise in wages in the United States was slow, but the exchange rate was further raised, still reaching more than 30 times.

If you want to engage in manufacturing, this has to be considered.

In addition, the current cost of land is relatively high in the United States.

Think about a few years later, in order to attract investment, some cities will often provide free industrial land for enterprises, how much is the difference between the two?

Speaking in unfluent Chinese, Hao Like said, "Li, if you want to invest in manufacturing, in my opinion, it is better to go to your special zone in China?"

Li Mo smiled: "Hao Like, you also know the Special Zone?"

"Li, after taking the employer's salary, you have to work hard for the employer. ”

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty. ”

"Yes, that's it. Hao Like nodded and said that he had a high salary, and he didn't do much for Li Mo in a year, and he was a little ashamed of his conscience, so he took the initiative to care about the current situation for Li Mo, including the current situation in China.

"The SAR is not in a hurry to ......," Li Mo shook his head and said, the United States also has favors, interpersonal relationships, and connections, but these are still for money. In China, money often serves people's connections and relationships. Even in the Special Economic Zone, the problem is complicated, and it is by no means something that Li Mo can make up his mind now. When will he return to China, Li Mo is still waiting, waiting for the news above. Although the above attention is not disgusting, on the contrary, it is also of a lot of help to Li Mo, at least with the help of Wu Leader, he can communicate directly with the above.

Li Mo continued to look at it, and finally saw a document, and his eyes lit up.

"Supermarkets are troublesome ......," Ha Lick advised, and although he checked and wrote, he didn't quite agree. Because American supermarkets appeared very early, they have been around for more than five years.

If it appears early, it means that the market tends to be saturated and the competition is fierce. Li Mo is a foreigner, and if he ventures into this market, he will die a miserable death.

Moreover, the cost of supermarket investment is very huge, unless a few small supermarkets are opened, but in that case, it may not be able to make money, and it will not be of much help to Li Mo.

Li Mo put down these documents and asked, "Hao Lick, if I start many large supermarkets, do I need to hire many workers?" ”

This is the method of protection that Li meditates on.

There are many workers, it means that there are many jobs, and now some people in China are aware of it, but they have not yet paid attention to it, and some people are still engaged in the struggle of consciousness. But the United States is different, if there is a large group of workers in the hands, everyone has to be careful.

"Li, the question is where does the money come from?"

Does Li Mo have any money now? He really has money, and if Microsoft is now valuated, it will reach at least $50 million. That is, Li Mo's investment the year before last, and now he is almost about to have a double return, and there are also a lot of dividends.

If you calculate Li Mo's wealth, it can now be close to 10 million US dollars.

Hao Like is not blushing, he is a "rare prodigy for a thousand years", it is said that his IQ is higher than that of Einstein, Li Mo can earn it, and he earns it when he is a teenager, and he can't earn it. Moreover, his annual salary will reach $300,000 the next year, and $500,000 next year...... It's hard to say, but after a few years, Li Mo's income will increase, and he will inevitably give him a lot of bonuses. In this way, Hao Lick will be desperate to do things for him.

There is a lot of money, but it is far from enough to venture into the supermarket industry, and the risk is also very large.

"The financial problem is easy to solve, and my plan is to buy land to build a house and build a supermarket by myself, and it is easy to get a loan from the bank. ”

"That's even more improper...... "Hao Liken was anxious. Owning a house is easy to get a loan, but it can mean that the cost is greater.

"Hao Like, you don't understand, to use our Chinese proverb, it is the uncle who owes money. ”

Employing workers means that there are many jobs in hand, a lot of money owed to the bank, and the bank will become his own protective umbrella, plus some of Li Mo's other ideas and measures...... For example, some special public welfare that he and Hao Like thought of, with a multi-pronged approach, can escort him safely for several years.

In fact, the most dangerous time was the beginning of 97, and it could be dragged on until 99, regardless of the flood after its death!

"Lee, you're thinking too dangerous. ”

It is his own food and clothing, and Hao Like will not wipe his conscience to say how good the United States is, and it is not easy for foreigners to make money in the United States, and some protective measures are needed. But Li Mo's thoughts are a bit like grass and trees.

"Hao Like, let me make an analogy, don't be surprised, if I invest in the future, I can achieve tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of returns, this kind of care, do you need it. ”

"Lee, this can't be, do you know how much assets the richest man in America has?"

"Hollick, I mean what if, what if?"

"What if......"

"Let me be more direct, if the relationship between China and the United States is no longer as sweet as it is now, and it starts to be bitter, and I have so many assets in my hands, what will happen?"

"That's a big problem. ”

"Yes, according to my assumption, after you go back, think hard, what other ways can you keep my property. ”

"Why are China and the United States at loggerheads?"

"We have always been cautious in our Chinese and think of the worst in everything...... But let me ask you a question, if you really have a bad relationship, which side will you be on?"

"Lee, don't worry, if it's really evil, I will also be on your side, it is the salary you give me, not the salary given to me by the US government, and they also deprive me of a lot of income. ”

Hollick was referring to taxes, and he was also considered a high-wage earner, and there was no doubt that the taxes would be high. Although he is a lawyer and is proficient in taxation, he can only avoid some taxes reasonably, but he cannot avoid paying taxes. Every time he pays taxes, it hurts his flesh.

Li Mo laughed in his heart, rich people, I'm afraid it's all like this.

"Hao Like, please believe me here......" Li Mo pointed to his brain: "You follow me, the future is not a million annual salary, maybe you will become a monopoly at that time." But in everything, we have to think about the worst. This supermarket, you have to investigate it for me, including market prospects, operation management, related talents, purchase channels, laws and taxes...... Also, there's Walmart. ”

"No, you can't have a bad deal with Walton. Hao Like said in horror again.

Walton is the founder of Wal-Mart, has a huge fortune, and will become the top of the list of personal wealth in the United States next year.

But the nature of the two is different, and Li Mo doesn't necessarily care about how much profit American supermarkets can make, as long as they can keep the interest. In addition, Wal-Mart used the power of the United States to open supermarkets all over the world, and Li Mo could not do it either.

"I have no evil with him, on the contrary, I will take the initiative to avoid him, and maybe I will want to join forces with him in the future. ”

"It's unlikely. ”

"You mean that the status gap between me and him is too great, right? It doesn't matter, there is one thing that we will definitely coincide with in the future, and that is the wages of Chinese workers, and you will know when the time comes. I don't want to be with him, but with him. You're just doing your research first, and it will be at least three or four years before I officially enter the supermarket industry. ”

"I'll ...... mind"

"Just know. Li Mo said happily, Hao Like can twist the corner so quickly, which shows that he really understands economics and business. It is true that it is a little difficult for Li Mo to enter the American supermarket industry, let alone a supergiant like Wal-Mart, but Li Mo also has Li Mo's advantages. And if this supermarket is successfully set up by Li Mo, it will have so many effects that even Hao Like can't think of it.

"Lee, you are such a genius, I regret it a little. ”

"Regret what?"

"The year before last, Microsoft allotment, some small shareholders sold their bulk shares, only one or two dollars a share, I heard about it, but I didn't buy it. ”

The number of these stocks is very small, but those who sell them will really regret it in the future, of course, in the second half of last year, no one will sell these allotments, that is not a sale, it is called a fool.

"There will be opportunities in the future. ”

"Li, will China and the United States really fight each other?"

"Hollick, I'm talking about what ifs, so you have to plan for the worst. This is inevitable, and it won't take ten years, but Li Mo can't say it. Although some reasons can be found now, such as the Soviet Union and the United States vying for hegemony, the Soviet Union has a developed military and heavy industry, but light industry is very poor, which leads to the economy catching up and fighting for hegemony...... But why do you say it? Of course, in 88 and 89 the Soviet Union deteriorated rapidly, and at that time it was time to say something about Halick and take precautions. But I can only say it to Hao Lik, and others still can't say it.

Hollick scratched his head, and he said, "No, because I have another piece of good news." ”

"What's the good news?"

"Mrs. Nancy called me and wanted you to go to our United States for publicity in the winter, and she invited you to the White House. ”

"That's it," Li Mo scratched his head, don't think it's a good thing, it's still a bad thing...... (To be continued.) )
