Chapter 504: Hong Kong wasn't a high-end place either
readx;
To put it bluntly, the essence of Huo Lao's words so positively is just to pull people into the water. After all, although Huo Lao has a high status in Hong Kong, because www.biquge.info of his position, he has always been not very likable in Hong Kong and Britain, and has become a benchmark, a family carrying such a banner is also a very tiring thing for the Huo family, so Huo Lao always hopes that more people will stand with him, so that he can show that he has the ability to pull more people to take risks.
But other businessmen in Hong Kong are not fools, you press the treasure is your business, why do you have to take me? Just like this time, Huo Lao fired at those juniors, and everyone unanimously agreed, to put it bluntly, isn't it because those juniors represent them? The juniors are still treated like this, could it be that Huo Lao can get rid of such a situation because of his high status? Obviously not.
Although Hong Kong businessmen are united, but that unity depends on the situation, and there has never been such a thing as taking sides, and if a loose group wants to have a clear leadership in politics, it will not work at all, and even after the return to the motherland, will there be a thousand strange people? Not to mention that now when Hong Kong's ownership is undecided, there are all kinds of ideas. Even the idea of Hong Kong independence, not without a market, don't think that the so-called independence of those Hong Kong people after 30 years is an isolated incident, in fact, this thing has always existed, before the British killed a group, and then no one made trouble, and then the mainland took over Hong Kong with a gentle strategy, so this kind of atmosphere has risen again, coupled with the development of the media, it seems to have suddenly appeared, in fact, such a thing has always existed, but no one knows.
In this group of bigwigs, everyone has their own ideas, and no one likes who is represented by whom, so the king of the ship hopes that the team going to the mainland this time must not have any political goals, you have your ideas, you can put them forward unilaterally, but if such ideas are imposed on everyone, it will not be easy to do. Everyone does their own thing, everyone supports each other economically, and it doesn't matter if you go to the mainland to make money, but politically, it's better to take a stand, even if you don't take a stand, you can't represent anyone, and no one wants to be represented, the reason is as simple as that, but about this matter, the bigwigs in the first circle discussed for a lot of time when Li Mingbao and the others had not yet come in, and in the end no one persuaded anyone.
In the end, political topics were ignored by everyone, consciously or unconsciously. Then on to the topic of economy, and the economic ties between Hong Kong and the mainland in this year are actually not very close, and they are naturally better than Taiwan, but they are still completely incomparable with those in two or three years.
These big people are not like those small businessmen with a net worth of one or two million, even if they can't stay in Hong Kong, it doesn't matter if they live directly in the mainland. Their identity, it is impossible for them to invest so much in the mainland now, like Li Mingbao to throw money on the mainland with such fanfare, only Li Mingbao has done it alone, and the others, even Huo Lao, have not done this, at most he will drive more boats into Shenzhen Bay, and then play hide and seek with the coast guard of Hong Kong and Ying.
After all, among all the people here, except for Li Mingbao, who has no scruples about doing business with the mainland, the others have no such experience at all, and perhaps some of them secretly have very large cooperation projects with the mainland, but such projects are highly confidential even to their own families, not to mention this group of Hong Kong businessmen with different hearts. So now Li Mingbao can be regarded as the first person in Hong Kong to invest in the mainland.
So this topic quickly talked about Li Mingbao, and the rich Boss Zheng looked at Li Mingbao with a smile and said: "If you want to say that we people, the one who does the best business with the mainland is still Xiao Li." I heard that Xiao Li's investment in the mainland is not a small amount, and he also donated tens of millions of dollars before, right? This is not a small stroke, for the mainland, Xiao Li should see it better than us old men, so I hope Xiao Li you don't skimp on your experience. ”
Being targeted by a group of old rivers and lakes, Li Mingbao did not have any discomfort, anyway, after he heard these people discuss the matter of investing in the mainland, he knew that he would not be able to run away from the end of the discussion anyway, although Li Mingbao clearly knew that there were some old guys who did more business with the mainland than they did, but these things are still in the stage of secrecy, if Li Mingbao poked these things out, not only would there be no benefit, but he would also receive full of malice, even if it was on the mainland, I will also be very dissatisfied with myself.
Li Mingbao can't do things that he is uncomfortable with, so when Boss Zheng took the initiative to mention this matter, Li Mingbao said very calmly: "If you want to talk about experience, in fact, my experience is not very good, if you really want to talk about the Chinese business groups that cooperate more with the mainland, we can only be regarded as juniors." As far as Singapore is concerned, there are quite a lot of projects to cooperate with the mainland, and with the relationship between the bosses, it is not difficult to learn from the experience at all, and it is really not the right thing to do with my experience.
Of course, if you're interested in listening to it, I don't care. Anyway, my investment in the mainland, now, is just a small fight, that is, a hotel chain business, this business is not my own, it can only be said to be the industry in the family, what I do, is just to invest some money in it, and when the hotel makes money, the family will give me the money.
In fact, my own business has not been negotiated until now. I went to the mainland this time to see if the mainland would allow me to do this business, and if I didn't let me do it, I had to choose other directions, and I would continue to do this project.
Speaking of experience, there really isn't much. But there is one thing I know very well, the mainland's evil industrialization, especially light industry, is not very developed now, although it can basically meet the needs of the mainland, but the gap is still very large, and the mainland is now engaged in reform and opening up, and ordinary people have begun to become rich. In this way, the demand for light industrial products on the mainland has actually begun to increase, whether it is to buy and sell clothes or food, and the benefits will be very good for a long time to come. As for Mr. Zheng's consumption of gold and silver jewelry, I don't know much about this.
There must be demand, but the amount of this demand will not be too big, of course, this will not be too big demand, it refers to the entire continent, just put it in some individual places, maybe the consumption is not low, if Mr. Zheng is interested, he can open a jewelry store in the capital, where the consumption power should also be good. ”
"Can anyone afford to sell gold and silver jewelry in the mainland?" When Boss Zheng heard Li Mingbao's words, he felt a little funny.
Seeing Boss Zheng's appearance, Li Mingbao also smiled: "Boss Zheng, if you have such an attitude, then as long as you open a store in the mainland and design it over there with standards not lower than those of Hong Kong, the consumption power over there will definitely surprise you." You must know that there are one billion people in the mainland, and even if one in 10 million people can afford your jewelry, then your potential consumer customers will be 100 people.
What's more, your company's products are not really top luxury goods, the people who can afford to consume are definitely not a small number, maybe even if it is the capital, at least tens of thousands of people who can afford your products can be caught, this is still a high-end product, low-end products, people who are a little richer, can afford to consume, so Boss Zheng, your doubt, is really unnecessary. There may be a shortage of other things on the mainland, but there is definitely no shortage of consumers. ”
Li Mingbao really knows the people on the mainland too well, the people who gave birth to local tyrants are more than the total population of other countries, such a place, there is no worry about no consumers at all, the mainland is not black Africa, even if it is black Africa, the chiefs of those tribes are also rich, there are so many people on the mainland, the consumer crowd can basically be said to be endless, no company dares to boast of Haikou, saying that he can cover all the consumption power of the mainland in a certain industry, such a company, except for holding it up, There is no second way to go.
"I can guarantee this, buying gold and silver jewelry or something in the mainland is not a particularly bizarre thing, if Boss Zheng is interested, opening some stores over there is definitely a steady profit, compared to opening a store in Hong Kong, it is easier, and the profit will be much higher." At this time, Huo Lao also interjected.
Li Mingbao's words, Boss Zheng can not believe it, but Huo Lao has spoken, Boss Zheng has to believe it if he doesn't believe it, although Huo Lao's position is very unreliable, but Huo Lao will definitely not cheat him in such a matter, otherwise Huo Lao's signboard will have to be smashed. That would not do Huo Lao any good.
With Boss Zheng being the first to speak, the next time seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and many people began to ask Li Mingbao whether his own industry was done over there on the mainland, and whether he was doing anything about it, which made Li Mingbao tireless. But Li Mingbao can't help but open his mouth for such a thing, after all, others can ask you and look up to you, if you ignore it, then you will offend people.
After turning around the people who asked, Li Mingbao found that the industrial level of Hong Kong is not so high, no matter what the industry, the gap between Hong Kong and the mainland is not a generation difference, at most it is the gap between vision and international vision, in terms of labor efficiency, in fact, it is almost the same, especially those garment factories or something, in Hong Kong, they can make a hard money, even if it is a relatively high selling price of those clothes, in fact, they don't earn much, Even when Li Mingbao was chatting with a bigwig who had a garment factory in his hand, and heard the bigwig say that his garment factory had not yet been assembled, Li Mingbao understood why the level of light industry in Hong Kong was, to put it bluntly, just like that.
