Chapter 556: Immortals?

Hua Junyao nodded, since the 80s, the mainland factor has become the most important external factor to promote the economic development of Hong Kong. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Due to the rise in land prices and labor costs, the manufacturing industry has been continuously transferred to the mainland, and various service industries have been fully and rapidly expanded, realizing the second economic transformation from manufacturing to service industry. Now this second transformation is begining. Pengcheng and Lingnan, across the river, are seizing the opportunity of transformation and will develop rapidly in the future.

Hua Junyao's eyes moved slightly, looked at them and said, "You say, if Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry moves out, leaving only finance, services, real estate, and so on, what will happen to the future of Xiangjiang?"

"Who would have guessed this?" Xiao Chubei laughed, "We are not immortals. ”

"My brother-in-law is right, I'm not a clairvoyant or a prophet, and I don't even know what's going on. Hua Guoqing laughed.

"Guess, don't you know what it means to guess?" Hua Junyao looked at them encouragingly, "Tell me casually?"

"A hint to you: When New China was founded, it was so poor that it couldn't even be self-sufficient to light candle matches. Do you know why there is a poor number of scissors in industry and agriculture? Why agriculture should be supplemented by industry? Why should we tighten our belts and establish a complete industrial system? Hua Junyao threw out one question after another.

"Self-reliance and hard work, of course, are for the sake of not being controlled by others. Xiao Chubei said very realistically.

"Industry is the foundation of a country, and there is no industrial ......" Hua Guoqing shuddered inexplicably.

"Without manufacturing, Xiangjiang will become a township, a township in the countryside. Hua Junyao stood up and paced the trail back and forth, "Go down the road of industrialization and develop upstream, you can develop a powerful heavy industry, and then have more opportunities to develop downstream, do you know the information technology revolution?"

"Information revolution?" Hua Guoqing scratched his head and said, "It is what the magazine said, the invention of semiconductors, integrated circuits, computers, and the development of digital communications and satellite communications have formed a new electronic information technology, which has made a qualitative leap in the means of human use of information." ”

"This is also the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Hua Junyao said.

"But I've heard that thing is very expensive. Hua Guoqing muttered, "They don't understand technology, and it's very risky, and those businessmen in Xiangjiang don't want to get involved in an industry he doesn't understand." ”

"So do you think these business owners will move their factories to the mainland, be satisfied with the simplest industry without much technical content, or will upgrade their industries to engage in scientific and technological research and development? Which one will you choose?" asked Hua Junyao.

"People are inert, and the traditional industry can make money by simply relocating to the interior, so why play with money-burning technology! And who knows if it can make money, and whether the money will be wasted is unknown. Hua Guoqing immediately said.

"Xiangjiang was originally just a small fishing village, its population was mainly gathered from all over the Pearl River Delta, and its culture was originally typical of Lingnan culture. The essence of Lingnan culture is low-key and pragmatic, they have the passion to start an industry, have a industry of their own, and create a century-old brand of their own, which is the dream of people's bones. This enthusiasm for industry inspired the people of Xiangjiang, and when the British Empire liberalized the colonial control of the people of Xiangjiang and put them on the road to civilization, the entrepreneurial desire of the people of Xiangjiang exploded, and they created the economic miracle of the 1970s. Economic growth of seven times in 10 years is enough for any economy in the world to look up to.

However, since then, Hong Kong has begun to assimilate into British culture. As a result of the British Empire's tenderness towards Xiangjiang, the people of Xiangjiang also began to abandon their resistance to British culture. The flow of British institutions and civilization into the Hong Kong River also impacts the traditional industrious, low-key and pragmatic culture. In just over a decade, the culture of the British Empire, which was fond of trade and averse to industry, completed the purge of traditional culture. Hua Junyao said with a sneer, "The British Empire is really a magical country, it is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, but it has gradually become disgusted with industry and production, it once had countless colonies all over the world, but it has never built any of them into an industrial base." It prefers to engage in only the simplest trades, the most basic buying and selling, the most primitive transactions. Industrial relocation was a curse hanging over the British Empire. After the Xiangjiang people adopted the British culture, this curse continued to the Xiangjiang people. Look at the wealthy family in Xiangjiang, there is one who is engaged in industry. What they are good at is buying and selling short, moving and transferring, and they are good at dancing in the capital market. But they can't produce even a single screw. ”

Hong Kong has had a glorious moment, and it has led the economy and culture of the whole of East Asia as a small land. From the 1970s to the mid-90s, it was a well-deserved pearl of the Orient, the jewel in the crown, shining brightly. Since then, however, it has been in decline, and its industrial economy has collapsed.

Even if you don't return, you will be like a slump and bend, and you will be down.

Therefore, the young people of Xiangjiang in later generations, why do they feel that there is no way out. After the decline of the manufacturing industry, they can only do trade, work as a salesperson and a waiter in a hotel, and this low-level, and no way out industry, has become a helpless choice for the public. The manufacturing industry can still be upgraded, and it can move from light industry to heavy industry and high technology, and the income of relevant employees can rise at any time. And trade and tourism services can only be forced for a lifetime. This is called pride, how can they be embarrassed by the glorious human affection. There is a huge gap in heart, and no one can stand it, let alone a young and vigorous youth.

So I miss Hong Kong and Britain very much, after all, everyone has been abused by the British for hundreds of years, and in the 70s, they were suddenly tendered, if this is not Stockholm syndrome, if you don't be grateful to the British, then I'm sorry for the nature of obedience to hegemony in human genes. So when you count it, young people have no future at all. These desperate young people finally tried to make their voices heard, and sent a helpless cry to this fucking world, and it was only a shout.

Now these business owners have relocated simple industrial production lines to the mainland, enclosed a large amount of land, recruited high-quality and cheap labor from the mainland, and made a lot of money in the simplest way. But they have since stopped. They no longer have any desire for industrial upgrading. They lay down on their past achievements and fell asleep.

The world economy is changing, when time keeps moving forward, others are making great strides forward, and the Pearl River Delta region, where Hong Kong-funded enterprises are most concentrated, will face a comprehensive labor shortage, and at the same time, its operating costs have generally risen. The reason for the difficulties faced by Hong Kong-funded enterprises is very simple, and everyone in the economics community knows that the technical level of Hong Kong-funded enterprises is too low, and the profit margin is very limited, so the wages are very low, and it is impossible to attract workers to join the workforce. Hong Kong-funded enterprises basically do not invest in technology upgrades, let alone research and development. After the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, European and American industries returned, and low-end Hong Kong-funded enterprises bore the brunt and died the fastest.
