Chapter 48 of the main text, on the future planning
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart, this is what a generation of great men said. Now Lei Weidong has a lot of money in his hands, and more importantly, he has a steady stream of money-making business, there is a saying that is right, money should become living money, and whether a person has influence is not to see how much money he has, but to see how much career he has.
If you don't have a career, no matter how much money you have, you will run out one day, and with a career, you can create a steady stream of wealth. In his previous life, Lei Weidong didn't have his own business, and he didn't succeed in starting a business, and he couldn't think so far, and now Lei Weidong has these millions of spare money in his hands, and he must not put it in the bank to earn interest.
However, you can't put so much cash in your hands, Hong Kong's security is not very good, if you let those gangsters know that they have millions of cash, it is not safe to follow Liu Wei and Zhao Hongjun's two bodyguards. People die for money, birds die for food, and millions of cash can make those old boys desperate, so the money is still safe in the bank.
When it comes to banks, it is impossible not to admit that Hong Kong deserves to be ranked among the top 10 financial centers in the world. There are hundreds of banks in a small projectile land, which is not admirable.
In Hong Kong, it can be said that bankers are the real invisible rich in Hong Kong, and there are many companies in Hong Kong whose assets are under the control of banks. If nothing else, let's talk about the famous Whampoa International, because it has shares in the hands of HSBC. And HSBC is not interested in running a company. took a fancy to Li Ka-shing's management ability, which caused Li Ka-shing to swallow an elephant and almost swallow nearly 30% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares with empty gloves and white wolves, thus completing the foundation of the career of the richest man in China.
It can be said that the most powerful people in Hong Kong are not the police and government officials, but the senior class of HSBC. "You can see the strength of HSBC,
HSBC also has supreme authority in Hong Kong, and to put it simply, HSBC's Taipan is more powerful than the Governor of Hong Kong. To put it simply, more than 60% of the currency currently in circulation in Hong Kong is issued by HSBC, which shows the status of the people.
In order to make a fortune in the future, Lei Weidong opened accounts in Citigroup and HSBC, and the reason why he opened an account in Huaqi Bank was mainly to prepare for making money in the United States in the future. Lei Weidong is very distrustful of those private banks in Hong Kong, knowing that the bankruptcy rate of private banks in Hong Kong is the highest in the world.
This is mainly due to the fact that Hong Kong's economic environment is determined, and an economy without the support of the real economy has too little ability to resist external shocks. In the subsequent economic shocks, too many Hong Kong banks went bankrupt.
Citigroup and HSBC are all world-famous banks with a wide range of business divisions, although they are private banks, they have extremely high risk resistance, and they have never heard of the collapse of two banks before Lei Weidong crossed.
Now I have money in my hands, but I definitely can't put it in the bank to earn interest, and now it's not the time when Ma Fang Nanshan, knives and guns are put into storage, although my company has an office location, but it is only rented, and there is no office building of its own, and the company's various departments have not been perfected.
Hong Kong is now in a golden age, and the economy has been growing rapidly before the Sino-British negotiations. It is essential to use this time to make more money.
In the past few days, Lei Weidong has also been thinking about what the company should do next, how to go, the money in his hand is growing every day, but he is not rich enough to spend it casually.
The company must have its own office building, and now that housing prices are still very low, buying a house is the best investment. Although there are not many people in the company now and there is no need for much space, Lei Weidong will definitely invest in film, television and other industries in the future. At that time, the office space will definitely not be small, and it must be prepared in advance.
And now the painting king has only opened up the Hong Kong market, and the vast overseas market has not yet entered, so it must be developed.
Because the magazine is in Chinese, the focus is first on the two regions of Singapore and Taiwan, and then on the comic kingdom of Japan. And then there's the countries of Southeast Asia.
These all cost money and time, if Lei Weidong himself to make these markets into it, not only will it cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but more importantly, it will take several years to develop. It's too troublesome for the current Lei Weidong.
First, Lei Weidong doesn't have so much money in his hands now, and secondly, he doesn't have enough manpower. More importantly, Lei Weidong didn't have that time to open up the market at all, you must know that some areas in Southeast Asia have a worse public security environment than Hong Kong, and some areas often fight wars, so it is not good for the people sent by Lei Weidong to have an accident. You must know that money is inexhaustible, and for Lei Weidong in Southeast Asia to spend energy to develop the market, it is not how to cooperate with local booksellers, so that it can save worry and effort and make money.
Therefore, for the future development, Lei Weidong must plan well, and the plan must be done step by step.
The first step must be to stabilize the Hong Kong market, expand the radiation efforts, of course, do not need to do the same painstaking and laborious things as the opening of the market, you must know that a comic store can not only have a magazine as a façade, and the opening of the store also has to deal with the community, you must know that now in Hong Kong, the opening of the community has to collect protection fees. For the current Lei Weidong, these things are too troublesome. Therefore, Lei Weidong must establish his own sales channels through everyone's word-of-mouth, draw the comics well, and make every issue a high-quality product, which can attract readers, and completely stabilize the market.
The second step is to integrate the company's resources, there must be a place for its own office, and all departments must recruit people, especially the comic department, for the current comic publishing speed, everyone is too tired, and each comic team must add one or two assistants. The company's system must also be determined, and all departments must be improved, so that it can be managed well and can be expanded to other places.
Third, continue to expand production capacity, the production capacity of the publishing house is now just right for Hong Kong, if you want to expand in Japan and Taiwan, then you must expand production capacity.
In addition, most of the magazines in Hong Kong still use newsprint for newspapers, but foreign magazines have begun to appear color newspapers, and there are already several magazines in Hong Kong that appear color newspapers, that is, the kind of colored paper used for posters, commonly known as coated paper, or chalk paper.
Because the current comic market is not very good, no company is bigger, and the price is cheap, so the competitiveness is not great, but after a year or two, magazines must use coated paper, and color must be used.
The old machine used to be cheap, and now the latest machine can produce posters, but the price is more expensive, and now more than half of the machines in Lei Weidong's hands are old goods from the past, and there are not many new ones.
Although newsprint itself can be used for two years, coated paper for magazines in the future is the mainstream, and now it is necessary to take precautions, slowly eliminate the old machines, and add new machines that can produce color pictures in the future. At the same time, the factory will continue to expand its production capacity in preparation for entering overseas markets in the future.
Fourth, overseas markets should be classified, markets like Taiwan have always been the most important outside of Hong Kong, and companies must develop markets in the past, but because Taiwan is still in the period of martial law, if you want to open the market, you must cooperate with local publishers. As for the development of the market in Southeast Asia, it is too troublesome, Lei Weidong can directly cooperate with Hong Kong publishing houses, and use the channels in their hands to open up Southeast Asia. Because it was very pleasant to cooperate with Lotus Publishing House before, now Lei Weidong has also decided to cooperate directly with Lotus Publishing House.
As for Japan, the largest market for comics, Lei Weidong decided to cooperate directly with Shogakukan and Shueisha in Japan to use their channels to directly open the Japanese market.
Of course, for the Japanese comic agency Lei Weidong, there is no need to look for it, they will automatically find it. You must know that Japanese comic companies are always concerned about the situation of comics around the world, especially Hong Kong, the largest comic opponent in Asia, although Hong Kong comics have fallen due to policy reasons, Japanese comic companies are worried about the resurrection of Hong Kong comics.
In Japan, there is a special person responsible for analyzing and evaluating Hong Kong comics. For a manga like "The Drawing King", savvy Japanese people will not let it go.
Of course, the most urgent thing for the company at present is to find a better building to move in, so that the manpower can be recruited, and then buy the building directly after the funds are returned.
Lei Weidong sorted out the plan, preliminarily formulated his own route, I feel almost, the next step should be to act, although the company is his own, but he is not a three-headed arm, he must be helped by his subordinates, Lei Weidong does not want to be independent, because Lei Weidong knows his ability, high or low, if he manages the company, it will be a mess. So there are some things that we still have to have a meeting together, that is, to develop their abilities, and I hope that someone can take over their work as soon as possible.
