Since he is not ready to make concessions, Li Mingbao has to find a more suitable reason, at least not to let him fall out with the Hong Kong Governor in person, so that both sides can get by. Fortunately, although the Hong Kong Governor's words are very troublesome, he knew before that the Hong Kong Governor would make trouble in this regard, so Li Mingbao still has a way to deal with it, both hard and soft, and now the Hong Kong Governor uses a soft knife, and Li Mingbao also has a way to deal with it.

"In fact, I haven't done much on the mainland. It was my father who really made a big investment. He wanted to go back to the mainland to open a hotel, and the work of the hotel was done by my father and eldest brother, and I just handed over the funds to them and managed them, and I didn't interfere. Therefore, the Hong Kong Governor does not have to worry about this at all, because the work on the mainland will not affect my work in Hong Kong, and it is completely two lines.

As for my own investment in the mainland, it is actually a good thing for Hong Kong. I plan to set up a production and processing plant for peripheral industries on the mainland side to make a special trip to process some peripheral industrial commodities of Hong Kong films, so as to expand the actual influence of Hong Kong films and provide a new development direction for Hong Kong's film industry.

In this regard, in fact, Hollywood has been successful in the United States, and 40% of the profits of their movies are at the box office, and more than 60% are on the peripheral industries. In this regard, the utilization rate of our Hong Kong films in the surrounding industries is not optimistic, it can be said that it is less than 5%.

In this case, if we want to make the Hong Kong film industry more healthy, we must learn from some successful experiences of Hollywood, such as investment in peripheral industries, we must increase our efforts to make our films earn more funds to develop the entire industry and make the cycle of the film industry more benign. Li Mingbao looks like he is thinking about the future of Hong Kong films, and he looks very upright.

But you don't buy much of Li Mingbao's reason: "The surrounding industry processing factories can actually be established in Hong Kong, which can also drive the development of Hong Kong's labor, and many industries can be improved. The natural contribution is much smaller. Mr. Li, do you think that's the truth? ”

Hearing Youde's words, Li Mingbao pretended to smile bitterly and said: "Originally, at the beginning, I never thought of building such a factory on the mainland, after all, the transportation on the mainland side is not comparable with that in Hong Kong, and the raw materials there may not be satisfactory to me, so at the beginning, I did plan to build such a factory in Hong Kong."

But in fact, after I really examined the conditions of both sides, I found that if I set up the factory in Hong Kong, not only would the surrounding film industry not develop, but even other industries would be dragged down and the impact would be even more severe. ”

"Is there such a strict zhòng?" You said suspiciously.

"That's the case, the surrounding industrial factory, to put it bluntly, is actually a primary processing factory, materials and equipment, and it's not a costly thing. The real big head, that is, the difficult part, lies in the artificial and the ground.

If you want to make this industry really large-scale, you must have a lot of labor and land. We in Hong Kong do not have such conditions. Because Hong Kong has now passed the period of development of primary industries, and now it has entered a higher level of industry. This is why the government is leading the development of high-tech and financial markets, because Hong Kong does not have the conditions to develop many other industries.

Hong Kong's total population is only so much, and there is only a little bit of land, and the surrounding industries are, to put it bluntly, a low-value-added industry, and it also quite crowds out population resources and land resources, and those high-value-added industries are completely different things. If there are more such industries in Hong Kong, they will crowd out the living space of other high value-added industries, and it will not be conducive to the transformation of Hong Kong's development.

The low profit margins of low-value-added industries not only do not do Hong Kong any good, but do a lot of harm. If the factory is established in Hong Kong, not only will the industry not be able to develop at that time, but it will also affect many aspects. Therefore, I finally considered setting up such a factory in the mainland, and finally affixed the Hong Kong brand, which would not affect the development of other industries in Hong Kong while raising the popularity of our Hong Kong products.

And most importantly, the conditions on the mainland are too favorable. Industries that cannot be developed in Hong Kong can have a lot of room for survival on the mainland, and the problem of labor costs alone is enough to solve any troubles. In a factory like this, our wages can't be too high, and if we set up a factory in Hong Kong, the labor cost will swallow up all the profits of our industry, and we will lose money.

But if this factory is built on the mainland, not only will we not have any risk of losing money, but we will also have a considerable profit, and the industry will be able to enter a virtuous circle. There were so many considerations, so I finally set up the factory of this peripheral industry in the mainland, not Hong Kong. It's not that I don't want to contribute more to Hong Kong, but this kind of industry is completely unnecessary in Hong Kong, and it will cause a lot of waste, and in general, this industry will do more harm than good to Hong Kong. Li Mingbao's words were very sincere, and he didn't give You a chance to refute at all.

In fact, such an industry is not beneficial to Hong Kong. So what Li Mingbao said is indeed true. It's just that Li Mingbao's fact is only half of what he said, because Li Mingbao's establishment of peripheral industrial factories in the mainland is indeed true, but Li Mingbao's layout on the mainland is not only a peripheral industry, but also a project of cooperative advertising with CCTV, and this project, now in front of Youde, Li Mingbao did not put it forward at all. So he speaks truthfully, but also half and half.

Hearing Li Mingbao explain the matter of this surrounding industry, You De also knows that Hong Kong really does not have an advantage at all in this aspect, and Li Mingbao seems to have nothing wrong with investing in the mainland. But it is obviously impossible for you to die down like this.

"Is the gap in labor costs really that big? There are also products from peripheral industries, with our Hong Kong brand, won't there be opposition on the mainland? You have to say with an expression that you can't hide from me.

"It's even more exaggerated than we imagined, now ordinary workers in Hong Kong, even if they are small workers, their monthly salary will not be less than 800 Hong Kong dollars, which is the least kind, the average salary at the bottom, just like those in the factory, is generally about 1,000 yuan, not more than 1,300 Hong Kong dollars.

But on the mainland side, even if they are skilled workers, industrial workers who have worked for more than ten years, their wages will not exceed 60 yuan at most. People. Currency. This is still a relatively high salary, and those who have just entered the factory, their salary is only thirty or forty yuan. In processing factories like peripheral industries, we don't need workers with high skills at all, and people who can do things simply can do a good job.

And the cost of land over there is basically equivalent to nothing, for us Hong Kong businessmen, as long as we build factories over there, the land is not too big a problem, as long as we can solve the employment problem of the population over there, it is easy to say. In this case, the cost of the factory over there really doesn't need much, and with a million Hong Kong dollars, we can build a pretty good factory with hundreds of workers.

As for using our Hong Kong brand, of course there will be no opposition on the mainland, because what is their job, I said at the beginning, it is just to do OEM business, and not to create a brand in the mainland, their brand power is in our hands, in this case, why do they want the power of the brand? It's good to have an OEM, but you still want more, how is it possible? After all, the products they produce are authorized by us, and if they want to produce the same products as ours, our lawyers will be very interested in talking to them. Li Mingbao said lightly.

Hearing Li Mingbao say this, You De nodded and said: "This is necessary, as people in the civilized world, we need the law to protect our rights and interests." If the mainland side violates any rules in the process of factory production, our government will be a strong backing for taxpayers.

By the way, since you have made so many things out on the mainland, do you need to work further on the Hong Kong side? The development achievements of Hong Kong films are very ideal, and as a transit station, it is rare for us in Hong Kong to have our own brand and influence in the world. Hong Kong films, on the other hand, have such achievements. This is a good start, so do we have any further plans or ideas for Hong Kong films? ”

Hearing You De's words, Li Mingbao breathed a sigh of relief, it is obvious that his words made You De more satisfied, maybe in the end, Li Mingbao's words to talk to the mainland with a lawyer are the reason why You De is happy, for a British guy like You De, if Hong Kong people have contact with the mainland side about lawyers, they are the most willing to see the situation as a-stirring stick, because that means that Li Mingbao does not regard himself as a person from the mainland, at least he has not obviously dumped the mainland. Projects such as peripheral industries are placed on the mainland, not for the mainland, but for cost savings.

It is a matter of course for capitalists to save their own costs, and Li Mingbao's doing so is completely in line with the characteristics of capitalists. It's not doing anything particularly high-end, so You Don't doubt that Li Mingbao is leaning towards the mainland in doing so.

You had to be fooled, and Li Mingbao was also relieved. After that, You De made another request, which was completely hit by Li Mingbao's muzzle. How should Hong Kong film brands develop, this proposition is originally relatively vague, especially to raise this question, in fact, I don't want Li Mingbao to really give a specific answer.

But who let Li Mingbao and the sixth uncle before, there is just such a plan for a circulation port, and this plan is definitely a lofty thing compared to such a low value-added thing as the surrounding industry, and there is no reason not to like it, so Li Mingbao simply took this opportunity to unite with the sixth uncle, one person said, and one person added the plan of the circulation port to Youde.
