After playing handsome, Cao Zhiqiang really hurried away, after all, he really had a lot of things to do.

In fact, what Cao Zhiqiang has to be busy with now is to take over the company here in Xiangjiang and hang around.

Well, the so-called receiving company is actually mainly to see one, that is, the trading company called "Hesheng Co., Ltd."

At present, the company is still operating normally, and most people do not know that the company has been sold, except for a very small number of people at the top.

That's what family-owned companies do.

If it was a joint-stock company, it would have been a goof long ago at this time.

However, if it is a family-owned 100% owned limited liability company, it is difficult to say.

Because when the boss controls all the shares and power of the company, if you want to sell, you only need to sign a document under the witness of a lawyer, which is very simple.

After that, the new owner only needs to take the authorization document and go to the new company to declare sovereignty.

Usually speaking, the new owner of the company will go to the company with the former boss of the company to do a simple handover.

There are exceptions, though.

For example, if the company's sale has been completed, but the company's former boss has not notified his subordinates and has not come out to explain the situation, then the people under the company will not know that the company has changed hands.

If the company is still functioning, the time to find out that something is wrong will have to be postponed again.

Hesheng company, this is the situation now.

To put it simply, the employees below the company are still full of energy, but the big boss of the company has already quietly sold them.

Not only that, but the company's account has long been empty, and if the funds are not injected in time, I am afraid that it will not take a week for everyone to find out that something is wrong.

The reason why it took another week was because the former boss of this company didn't appear in the company very often, so he didn't show up, and in the short term, everyone was used to it and didn't care.

It is estimated that everyone thought that the former boss had gone out to play again.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang came over this time, not as a host, but as a consultant, or under the banner of doing business, to visit the company.

After all, it is a trading company, and it is impossible to refuse a business that is delivered to your door when you open the door to do business.

But it's not okay to rush over, so Cao Zhiqiang came over under the guise of Lou Xiao'e.

In other words, with Lou Xiao'e's endorsement, he came to talk about business this time, and people paid a lot of attention to it.

After all, Lou Xiao'e and this company have had dealings with each other before, and they are also engaged in trade, and with her as a guarantor, people will not think that Cao Zhiqiang is here to play tricks.

After going to that company, Cao Zhiqiang felt okay.

Although the company's headquarters is not large, just a two-story building, and it is rented, the staff is quite complete, and the mental state is also very good, at least on the surface, there is no negative slacking or the like.

Anyway, it seems that the people inside are busy, either busy talking on the phone or writing lists.

But whether it's really busy or a show, it's hard to say.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang still knows some of the details of this company, that is, although the overall operation is quite normal, and there are some old customers supporting the list, but because the former boss always withdraws the funds in the company's account privately, the company's operating funds are becoming more and more tight, so many businesses that need to advance funds in advance can no longer be done.

Now the business of the company is based on the reputation and reputation accumulated for decades, and the credit trade with others.

To put it bluntly, that is, take the goods first, and then give the money.

Generally speaking, this situation is mainly for those customers who have more needs, such as some customers in the mainland.

You must know that most of the business between the inland and Xiangjiang is more thirsty for the inland, after all, they urgently need the goods on this side of Xiangjiang and the foreign exchange here.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is the inland merchants who first hand over the goods to the trading company here, and then return the money before handing it over to the inland merchants, and may even have to press the payment, and settle the account after two or three months.

It's not okay to leave the bill all the time, because once you do, people from the mainland may not come directly to ask for the bill, but next time you don't want to do business.

And small companies like Hesheng are actually very dependent on inland goods.

After all, inland goods are of high quality and low price, especially grain, timber, fuel oil and minerals, which are very scarce on this side of Xiangjiang.

That's right, Xiangjiang doesn't look prosperous, in fact, even now, it is heavily dependent on inland imports.

For example, grain, fuel oil, timber and coal are basically imported from the mainland.

Especially for grain, Xiangjiang was very dependent on the inland at this time.

In fact, the food sources of Xiangjiang are also diversified, in addition to the inland, it is also imported from Siam, South Vietnam and other places.

But recently, South Vietnam is not at war with Big Brother, and there is not enough food for itself, and it is rarely exported to Xiangjiang.

The situation in Siam is similar, because it is not dealing with Vietnam, it is stockpiling grain for war, and grain exports have also been greatly reduced.

As for other countries, although they also import, the price is too high to be cost-effective, so they only import a small amount.

So all in all, it is currently the most cost-effective inland grain.

In other words, the rich do not mention that the grain eaten by ordinary people in Xiangjiang is actually imported from the mainland.

It was only in the later period, especially after the 90s, that Xiangjiang's grain imports were truly diversified, and its dependence on the inland was not so serious.

In addition to grain, other things like fresh water, vegetables and fruits, etc., are mainly from the inland at present.

Let's put it this way, at least eighty percent of the three meals a day of the people of Xiangjiang are currently supported by the inland.

It may be precisely because of this that the British government is so unconfident when it comes to China.

You know, when the Iron Lady came to negotiate, she had just defeated Argentina.

But even so, it can't scare the inland.

The reason is very simple, at this point in time, it really annoys the inland, and you only need to pinch the export of grain and fresh water, and the Xiangjiang River will be chaotic and hungry.

In addition to food, fresh water is also heavily dependent on the interior.

After all, Xiangjiang itself is a city that is desperately short of fresh water.

Otherwise, Xiangjiang would not have the strange system of flushing toilets with seawater.

Yes, most of the toilets in Xiangjiang are separate pipes and use seawater.

This practice is to relieve freshwater.

At present, nearly 90% of the freshwater resources of the Xiangjiang River are imported from the mainland.

If there is no fresh water input from the inland, the Xiangjiang River will immediately suffer from a serious shortage of water.

In this case, what else can Britain do to compete with the mainland?

As long as the grain and water are cut off, Xiangjiang will immediately be in chaos.

Of course, on the other hand, before the honeymoon between China and the United States, the mainland was also very dependent on Xiangjiang.

Because before this, Western countries had been blockading our country, so the only window for China's foreign import and export at that time was Xiangjiang.

In other words, throughout the 50s and early 80s, China's transactions with the West were basically entrepot trade through Xiangjiang, which is also the most important exchange port between China and the West.

Britain has also gained a lot of benefits because of this, and even Xiangjiang itself, because of this window status, relying on the huge mainland market, has taken off economically and become one of the four Asian tigers.

The four Asian tigers all have their own characteristics, among which the characteristic of Xiangjiang is that it relies on the inland.

Without inland support, in a place like Xiangjiang, why should it be compared with the other three little dragons?

I really thought that it would be enough to rely on Xiangjiang movies.

I want to eat it.

Unfortunately, not many people can really see this.

On the contrary, because of the affluence of the Xiangjiang people, they naturally have a sense of superiority over the inland people at this time.

Why was Hong Kong-style Cantonese popular in the 80s and 90s?

Isn't it just envy?

When the inland rose, Mandarin made a comeback, and the Guangdong region was ruled by Mandarin again, and Cantonese was only regarded as a local dialect, and it no longer had the status of the 80s and 90s.

Straight to the point.

Hesheng Company is one of the most small trading companies that do business with the mainland, and the main business of this company is precisely grain.

Generally speaking, this company is mainly engaged in the business of cereals, fruits and vegetables.

More bulk grains like rice, flour, and soybeans are not available to them for the time being.

The main reason why I can't get involved is, of course, that I don't have money.

Things like rice and flour, because they are more sought-after and the amount of goods is also large, generally speaking, the money and goods are cleared, and there is rarely a situation of pressing the goods and money.

After all, if you dare to press on these commodities, the inland side will not sell them to you, anyway, some people want it.

From this point of view, to have one more inland customer, Hesheng company is of course happy.

After a brief understanding of the situation of Hesheng Company, Cao Zhiqiang asked for the business card of the manager who received him, and then quickly left.

This time, he just had a preliminary understanding, and the specific operation would have to be discussed later.

Of course, on the side of the company's account, it is indeed necessary to make a sum of money, but this money cannot be given for free, and it must be given when the new boss takes office, so that the field can be calmed down in a short time and the handover can be completed.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang wanted Zhu Lin to come here to temporarily act as general manager.

But Zhu Lin wants to raise a fetus now, so he can't do it.

So here, you have to find someone again.

In this way, he returned to his previous choice, that is, Hao Shuwen.

Long ago, Cao Zhiqiang thought about letting Hao Shuwen be his white glove.

But at that time, Cao Zhiqiang just wanted Hao Shuwen to go to Hainan and be the general manager of the automobile company.

But now it seems that this matter is a bit sloppy.

After all, it is not so easy for automobile companies, and the prospect of Hao Shuwen, a person who does not understand this knowledge at all, to be the general manager.

Therefore, after Cao Zhiqiang decided to go back, he specially asked his two thighs, that is, Uncle Xu and Uncle Lin, to see if they had any candidates to explain.

As for Hao Shuwen, let her come to Xiangjiang and watch the trading company.

Anyway, the main business of a trading company is to do trade, simply put, it is to buy low and sell high to earn the difference in the middle.

Therefore, the general manager of a unit such as a trading company must be able to do things and have a wide range of contacts.

For example, drinking and socializing, it is definitely needed.

In this regard, Hao Shuwen is quite good.

In addition to these, Hao Shuwen's background is also important.

For example, Hao Shuwen wants to get the goods in China, if she is an ordinary person, she will naturally make it difficult in every way, but if Hao Shuwen tells her parents, nine out of nine will change her face, and all kinds of stammers will please Hao Shuwen.

In other words, it doesn't matter if Hao Shuwen has a falling out with her family, outsiders don't know.

Outsiders only know that Hao Shuwen's parents are both high-ranking cadres in the capital, especially good, and the kind with real power.

In the face of this kind of government, nine times out of ten, the local government does not want to cause trouble.

In fact, many of the early masters in China were this kind of yamen.

Only that kind of yain can smoothly retreat from the whole body.

As for the kind of grassroots counterattack, that got later.

After leaving Hesheng, Cao Zhiqiang walked around Xiangjiang again, especially inspecting the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, such as housing prices.

Then Cao Zhiqiang found that Xiangjiang's real estate at this time was promising.

Because the price of real estate in Xiangjiang is really cheap now.

Compared with the housing prices in Xiangjiang in 2023, the current Xiangjiang rooms are simply cheap.

If you don't rely on inflation, then if you buy a 100-square-meter house in Xiangjiang now, by 2023, you will not even be able to afford a toilet with the same amount of money.

Not only are residential properties cheap, but even commercial real estate is cheap.

It is no wonder that industry and commerce in Xiangjiang were very prosperous at this time, and the film industry was booming.

Cao Zhiqiang believes that at least the factor of cheap housing prices is at play.

Think about it, if the housing prices in Xiangjiang are amazingly high, then the prices will inevitably go up, and then it will swallow up industry and commerce, and of course, it will also swallow up the film and television industry in Xiangjiang.

Industry and commerce are not to mention, they are very sensitive to rooms, after all, factories, offices, all need houses.

It's the same with the film and television industry.

If you want to film, you must have a venue, and many of them also need to rent a house.

In this case, if the real estate price is cheap and the rent is cheap, the overall budget for filming will be less.

But if the housing prices remain high, the cost of the shooting location alone will remain high, and where will the money come from for other things.

Therefore, maintaining Hong Kong's low housing prices is the key to Hong Kong's continued prosperity.

In fact, it is not difficult to maintain the housing prices in Hong Kong.

All you need is to create land from the sea or develop new residential land.

Now Hong Kong is not only Hong Kong Island, but also Kowloon and the New Territories, where there is a large amount of vacant land.

As long as the land is put into the land on a regular basis, even if the population of Xiangjiang cannot prevent the rise in housing prices, it is still possible to maintain the housing prices within a range.

But it's a pity that those big capitalists, especially those real estate developers dominated by the Li family, don't want this.

What they want is to reduce the supply of land, keep it tight, and then push up housing prices.

And those who have already bought a house also want the price of the house to continue to rise, so they also want to reduce the supply of land and maintain the shortage of land, so that the price of housing can go crazy.

As long as the supply of land in Hong Kong has been insufficient, housing prices will not fall.

Even the stock market crash in '87 only hit the skyrocketing housing prices in Xiangjiang, but it was not completely curbed, and it did not maintain a level for 20 or 30 years like in Japan, but continued to rise wildly after falling.

As for the stock market crash in '97, it was with the support of the mainland that Xiangjiang was able to survive without danger, but because of this, the housing price bubble in Xiangjiang was not punctured to the end, and it continued to rise later, and it has risen to a suffocating high.

In short, if you travel back to Xiangjiang in the 80s, I am afraid that the safest way to make money is to invest in real estate here.

At that time, you only need to sell the house before 97 years, and the price will increase by 20 times, which will be easy and easy to make more money than buying a house in Tokyo.

After 97, when the real estate in Xiangjiang fell sharply, I took the opportunity to buy it, and then sold it before 2019, and it could rise more than ten times.

After 2019, there is not much investment value in real estate in Xiangjiang because the price is too high.

Even if you don't engage in real estate, you can register a company in Xiangjiang casually, and then set up a factory in the mainland in the name of this company, and then print it on Xiangjiang manufacturing, and then use this kind of Xiangjiang manufacturing made in the mainland and sell it to developed countries in Europe and the United States, you can make a lot of money.

Who makes the labor and resources in the mainland very cheap?

From this point of view, the Xiangjiang in the 80s was really full of gold! (End of chapter)
