Chapter 14 First Arrival in Shanghai
Looking at the clouds floating around outside the window of the plane, I unconsciously lost my mind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info thought a lot, more about what to do next?
In 1995 and 96, there were many stories of China's riches, and in addition to the stock market, the most recent myth of getting rich was the real estate bubble in Hainan and Zhuhai from 90 to 92.
If there is a lot of money, Liu Si can consider considering copying the bottom of the Hainan real estate bubble, but unfortunately there is no money. As for the stock market, another wave of strong rises began at the beginning of 96, for example, the Shanghai stock market is like a big turntable, from more than 500 points at the beginning of the year, all the way to 1250 points; The Shenzhen stock market is even more crazy, rushing from more than 900 points at the beginning of the year to 4,200 points.
China's stock market, Liu Si doesn't want to touch it, one is political risk, the guy who plays the stock market is not simple; The second is moral condemnation, after all, it is the Chinese people, and it is not easy to earn their money, although the Chinese people's money will be scraped in the end; The third is that there is little capital and can't make a village, so you can't make big fish, so you have to stop making fish that are eaten.
However, in the 90s, there were also technological products and health care products. After more than 10 years of reform and opening up, the people have a little money in their hands, so the health care products market has risen faster than other markets, especially in coastal cities and large inland cities.
In 1984, the China Health Food Association was established. In 1987, Hangzhou Baoling Enterprise launched ginseng royal jelly, which opened the prelude to China's health care product market. The next Helios Oral Liquid, Wahaha's Children's Nutrition Solution, Zhenhua 851, Onlly No. 1, and Yansheng Baobao Liquid sprung up, setting off a wave of consumption in the health care products market. In 1991, the turnover of the health care products market exceeded 10 billion yuan.
In 1992, Shenzhen Mrs. Group was established, and China's health care products led by Sun God reached its peak. In 1993, the outstanding achievement of "Ma Jiajun" was that Ma Junren's "Chinese Turtle Essence" became popular in the health care products market. In the same year, Shi Yuzhu's brain gold came out, and Wuhan Red Peach K Group was established. In 1994, three strains of oral liquid came out in Jinan.
From 1993 to the beginning of 1995, China's health care products industry entered the first stage of rapid development, due to the high profits of health care products and relatively low technical and political barriers, the number of health care products manufacturers in the country increased from dozens to more than 3,000, and the products were as many as 2. 80,000 kinds, the annual output value has increased from more than 1.6 billion to more than 30 billion, and in just two or three years, the production enterprises have increased by 30 times, and the annual sales have increased by more than 10 times.
Which kind of health care product to choose, the most common and the least product research and development cost is naturally the health care products related to ginseng, honey, and Ganoderma lucidum, but the value of such products is too high or there are too few people to adapt to.
Liu Si, who was in a fugue foreign object, shook his head, not thinking about these troubles, he still didn't know enough about this era, so he had to go to Shanghai first to take a look and talk about the future.
It takes more than two hours to get from Hong Kong to Shanghai, and if in 2015, Liu Si could take out his tablet to watch movies, play games, etc., what would he do now? Turning his head to look at his father, he thought depressedly, "Do you also read the newspaper like your father?" ”
Since the development of civil aviation, flight attendants have become an obsession in the hearts of many men. From time to time, I pay attention to the aisle to see if there are any flight attendants passing by, but I have to say that the dress and dressing style of this era always gives people a feeling of backwardness, plus my father is around, and more importantly, ********. After secretly saying "I can't afford to hurt", Liu Si closed his eyes and went to find Zhou Gong to relieve his boredom.
The plane began to descend, and the drag with the air caused the plane to shake slightly. After the front wheel landed, the rear wheel fell to the ground suddenly, and the inertia made Liu Sili stand up, and there was no problem with being restrained by the seat belt, but his drowsiness disappeared completely.
Liu Si's father and son walked out of the passage and immediately attracted a lot of attention, no way, because the two fathers and sons were holding a suitcase in one hand and a fashionable leather satchel on the other side, plus they were wearing the same fiery red suit and leather shoes today, the fabric was good, and the style was also very trendy, so it was not unusual to attract people's attention in the 90s.
The two fathers and sons walked out of the waiting hall under the attention of everyone, I don't know how Liu's father feels, at least Liu Si is very cool in his heart.
Liu's father stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, and after the two fathers and sons put their luggage into the trunk together, one of them walked and sat in the back seat at the same time, "Son, where are you going now?" ”
For a father, he is very proud to see that his son can earn a lot of money at a young age, and at the same time, some small opinions and worries about his son will become difficult to say.
For example, at the moment, what Liu's father hopes most is that Liu Si will go back to the county seat to study seriously, and if he wants to earn money, he can wait for the book to finish reading! But in the face of this situation, Liu's father didn't say much, so he had to follow his son and watch him so as not to make any big mistakes.
"Master, go to the headquarters of Citibank in Pudong New Area." After Liu Si told the taxi driver the destination in a simple and clear way, he began to look at the scenery of Shanghai in the 90s that kept moving backwards as the car advanced.
It took about an hour and a half to arrive at Citibank's office in China, but this was only in the 90s, and if it were in 2015, it would have taken almost a few hours, and it was lucky.
The main reason for coming to Citibank is to exchange dollars for yuan. As for foreign exchange, it is not necessary to exchange foreign exchange at a bank that has obtained foreign exchange qualifications, such as the Bank of China, but in fact this is not the case.
In China, Citibank is a foreign multinational bank, and its advantage is that its funds are freely convertible and fleeing, which is preferred by most capitalist depositors, otherwise who would deposit money in foreign banks.
A very important profit point for such multinational banks is to use the non-existent flow of real funds to save on taxes, transportation, security and other costs. The actual funds do not flow, but the accounts do. Domestic becomes yuan, abroad becomes dollars.
After turning $3 million of the $3.92 million in the account into more than 25 million yuan in Citibank, Liu Si and his son left the Citibank office under the enthusiastic escort of Citibank's service staff.
"To the nearest hotel."
"Okay." The taxi driver didn't see the relationship between Liu Si's father and son, but he saw that these two people could kill him, so Liu Si's father and son were dragged to a star-rated hotel, the Peace Hotel.
Taxi drivers are supposed to be some of the best people in the world, earning a good income, being the most well-informed, the most observant, and united enough. Liu Si understands this very well, but this is life.
After giving the taxi driver 200 yuan, the father and son took out their luggage from the trunk of the taxi, and then the handsome one pulled a suitcase and carried a leather satchel to the Peace Hotel.
Needless to say, the historical events of the Peace Hotel and the celebrities received did not come one by one, but it is a miracle that it has not been demolished for nearly a hundred years, and when you walk into the Peace Hotel, you will feel a sense of nostalgia through time and space.
When I entered the hall, a waiter came to help with something, and Liu Si also threw the suitcase to the waiter who came over and went to the front desk to open a room.
Liu Si was disappointed when he entered the room, because this is only the level of a three-star hotel at most, but the fee is a bit high. From the room, you can see the scenery of the entire Bund, and I don't care much about the accommodation conditions and have money and willfulness, and I don't have any unhappiness in my heart behind.
After putting away the luggage, Liu Si and his father went down to the restaurant for lunch, and also saw two Chinese and more than ten gringos, but they didn't know each other, so the two fathers and sons just quietly ate lunch and rested in the room.
