The manufacturing industry is the foundation of economic development, and without strong manufacturing support, Hong Kong's economy will be seriously affected as soon as there is a ripple in the wind, so in order to develop steadily in the future, Hong Kong's economy must be transformed."

Although Lei Weidong's words were not good, Shen Bi couldn't help but nod when he heard it, after all, many people can see the plight of Hong Kong's economy.

"What about Singapore! It's a city just like Hong Kong! Is this also the case? ”

"It's different! After all, Singapore has the Strait of Malacca, which is the busiest shipping route in the world, and it will only get busier and busier as the Asian economy develops.

But Hong Kong is different, although Hong Kong is Asia's largest port, but don't forget that Hong Kong's prosperity in recent decades has a lot to do with the mainland, and the Pearl of the Orient used to be the title of the magic capital! There are many deep-water ports comparable to Hong Kong in the mainland. ”

The golden age of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry started from the 50s, because of policy reasons, a large number of mainland capitalists withdrew into Hong Kong, they brought a large amount of money and technology, so that Hong Kong's manufacturing industry ushered in a period of rapid development, and many people dug the first pot of gold in the manufacturing industry.

Such as the richest man Li later, such as the shipping king Bao tycoon, such as the jewelry king Zheng Yutong...... It all started at this time.

At this time, Hong Kong manufacturing has always been synonymous with cheap and high-quality products, and the manufactured goods are sold all over the world, creating a great reputation.

However, with the reform and opening up of the mainland, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea and other neighboring countries and regions have also begun to vigorously develop industries, and Hong Kong's proud manufacturing industry is facing endless competition.

This is not something that everyone can foresee, but people of insight such as Li Shoufu, Zheng Yutong, Bao Tycoon, etc., have realized the congenital deficiencies of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry, so they have changed the company's business entity.

Shen Bi, as the head of HSBC, has also seen this problem, and has been pondering how HSBC will find new business channels after Hong Kong's manufacturing industry is in trouble.

"Mr. Lei's cooperation with the mainland is not only because of interests!" Shen Bi looked at Lei Weidong, since the other party has seen the problems of Hong Kong's economy, some recent actions are worth scrutinizing.

"Mr. Shen is really amazing!" Lei Weidong was not surprised that Shen Bi saw through his plan, and laughed twice and continued.

"I deal with the mainland, of course, for the hundreds of millions of dollars difference, after all, this is not a small amount, but I value the interests of the future more, the mainland is a huge market, if the profit is opened, it will start from billions or tens of billions."

"Mr. Lei, you are so optimistic about the mainland market, you must know where their system is different from ours, beware of falling into it!" Shen Bi smiled.

"If the market of more than one billion people can be opened, I will definitely not be optimistic about it alone! As for whether it will be trapped in it! Lei Weidong laughed.

"Since the mainland has now begun to transform, the chance of change again will be very small, after all, economic development is the trend of the times, and once the people in the mainland taste the sweetness of reform and opening up, then it is very difficult for anyone to change back, and it is against the people of the whole country!"

"Not bad!" Shen Bi smiled: "It seems that our HSBC Bank is also going north to take a look!" ”

For Lei Weidong's words, Shen Bi agrees that many things are difficult in the first step, but once you take the first step, things are simple, many times you can't stop if you want to, the power behind will push you forward involuntarily.

"I didn't think that Mr. Shen also looked at it like this, I thought Mr. Shen had an opinion on the mainland!" Lei Weidong asked with a smile.

Cooperation with the mainland is Lei Weidong's general policy in the future, if Shen Bi is really the kind of British people whose interests are paramount and do not intend to have dealings with the mainland. Then Lei Weidong will have to reconsider whether to continue to cooperate with Shen Bi.

"To be honest, I personally have no distinction between China and the West, and I have no political aspirations. As long as I can make money for the company, I can cooperate even if it is north. Shen Bi said with a smile.

Lei Weidong nodded, this is indeed Shen Bi's consistent style. In order to maintain HSBC's unique position in Hong Kong, it insisted on supporting the Chinese tycoons to annex the British-funded foreign firms, and also cut off a piece of meat from Hong Kong's first foreign company, Jardine Matheson.

"Mr. Lui just said that Hong Kong's economy will face the problem of transformation in the future, which direction should it turn?" Shen Bi asked curiously again.

"I'm not an official or a parliamentarian, that's not something I need to think about!" Lei Weidong shook his head and refused.

"It's not a matter of words for Mr. Lei to become a member of parliament, you are so young now, who knows what will happen in the future, maybe in a few decades, Mr. Lei can become a Hong Kong governor!" Shen Bi said with a smile after reading it.

"Since Mr. Shen said so, I am polite, but I only have shallow suggestions for Hong Kong's economic transformation, and I don't know if it is suitable or not!"

"Please!" Shen Bi made a gesture of please.

"I have two suggestions for Hong Kong's economic transformation, one is simple and the other is difficult! I don't know which one Mr. Shen listened to first! ”

"Let's start with the easy one!" Shen Bi smiled: "I like to hear good news!" ”

"Okay!" Lei Weidong smiled: "I also like to hear good news!" ”

"The simple transformation is actually very simple, and Hong Kong has already begun to change in this direction, which is to transform Hong Kong into a financial city. Vigorously develop the financial services industry and turn Hong Kong into a global financial centre. Hong Kong itself has a very advantageous geographical location, and it is a free trade port, and its own hardware facilities are very complete. ”

"Not bad! It's a simple transition, and it's a great fit for Hong Kong! Shen Bi couldn't help but applaud when he heard this, Hong Kong has transformed into a world financial center, and HSBC, the giant in the natural financial industry, has made the most profits.

What's more, this transformation is very easy, you must know that there are at least hundreds of large and small banks in Hong Kong now, there are so many banks and their financial practitioners must be many, and Hong Kong's universities themselves are biased towards finance and other liberal arts majors, such a good foundation, as long as the industry boss HSBC plays a leading role, it is not a dream to become a financial center in the world in more than ten years.

"I don't know what the difficult transition is! Mr. Lei's talent said that this transformation is very difficult, and it is estimated that the transformation is very difficult! Shen Bi asked again.

"Of course, the difficulties are great, if we want to maintain the advantages of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry, we can only carry out industrial upgrading, transfer the crude benzene heavy manufacturing industry to the mainland and other places with rich human resources, Hong Kong only leaves high-tech industries, and uses core technologies to improve competitiveness, and even develops to the end Hong Kong only retains high-tech industries such as laboratories, and its manufacturing industry is all turned to the mainland.

For example, Silicon Valley in the United States is the best example. However, Hong Kong has a natural weakness in this regard, and its scientific research strength is seriously insufficient, and the few universities that are still biased towards liberal arts are far inferior to those of the United States and European countries in terms of core technology inventions. Lei Weidong said with a smile.

"Yes, upgrading the manufacturing industry and shifting to high-tech industries is an almost impossible task for Hong Kong." Shen Bi nodded in agreement.

"But the profits after the transformation is done are amazing!" Lei Weidong sighed: "Science and technology is the primary productive force, the monopoly of science and technology is the most terrible, and the profit is also the highest.

After all, there are already several financial centers in the world, New York, London, and Tokyo, Japan, all surpassing Hong Kong, and even the development of the mainland, the economic status of the magic capital will surpass Hong Kong. ”

"That was decades later, not what we need to think about now!" Shen Bi smiled.

What are the disadvantages of the financial center, Shen Bizhiran knows very well, but as I just said, the benefits to Hong Kong for at least 20 years are great, and how long can I be the big class of HSBC, 20 years have been in the sky, and my children and grandchildren only have children and grandchildren to help, and I just need to stand up to my own post.

"Mr. Lei, the chat with you today is very pleasant, which makes me feel suddenly enlightened." Shen Bi clapped his hands and smiled, "I didn't believe in geniuses before, but now I have to admit that some people are born with talent." ”

"I am also very honored to be praised by Mr. Shen!" Lei Weidong also said with a smile, looking at Shen Bi's reaction, he knew that he was very impressed this time.

"By the way, Mr. Lei, next week, our bank will have a party at the Royal Yacht Club, if you are interested, please come and play together." Shen Bi invited with a smile.

Lei Weidong couldn't help but smile when he heard it, and sure enough, Lei Weidong was like a circle.

Like the United States, Hong Kong's high society also has its own circle, among which the members of HSBC and the Royal Yacht Club are the top circles in Hong Kong.

Although Lei Weidong was worth hundreds of millions of dollars before, in the eyes of those rich people, he was just a rookie in a shopping mall, and his foundation was very shallow, and he couldn't get into their eyes at all, otherwise Zheng Daheng would not look down on Lei Weidong, and even chose the lowest course to play golf.

As soon as they met, they directly asked to buy Lei Weidong's land, and directly retaliated after being refused.

That is, Lei Weidong, it is not easy for a traverser to make money, if you change to a rich man who has just started, it is likely to be hit and collapsed, and it is not for nothing that so many rich people in Hong Kong go bankrupt every year.

Now, with Shen Bi's invitation, it can be said that Lei Weidong has also become a member of Hong Kong's high society, although he has no right to speak in it because he has just entered Lei Weidong, but after entering, Zheng Daheng wants to fight Lei Weidong, and it is not so easy.
