"The words of the previous aid to the DPRK reminded me that Xiangjiang has innate convenience, and it should do a lot to do export or entrepot trade. In addition, when I came yesterday, I thought about it all the way, and I thought that maybe I could build a factory in Pengcheng, like Daqi's factory ....... ”

"But Brother Zhengguo, don't you know what the situation is in Pengcheng now, aren't you kidding to build a factory in such a dilapidated place?" As soon as Qin Zhengguo finished speaking, Gu Jie couldn't help but remind him on the side.

"Tattered, it depends on where it is." Qin Zhengguo smiled at Gu Jie: "The policy has come down, although the establishment of the special zone is only a few days ago, but the news has already spread to Xiangjiang, and many businessmen in Xiangjiang are discussing this matter, and many people are very interested in Pengcheng." ”

"As for the conditions of Pengcheng, of course I know, don't forget that I went to Xiangjiang from Pengcheng at the beginning, and I came back from there this time. I think that since the country regards Pengcheng as a special zone, it will definitely not watch Pengcheng always be like this, if my judgment is correct, with the establishment of the special zone, Pengcheng will soon usher in earth-shaking changes, and now the conditions of Pengcheng are poor, and the imperfect facilities are only temporary, all of this can be changed. ”

Listening to Qin Zhengguo's words, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this guy's eyes are indeed vicious, and he can see it too accurately.

The people present said one by one, only Song Yuanchao really knew what the future Pengcheng would look like, but compared to the current Pengcheng, others could not judge what the future of Pengcheng would be.

Qin Zhengguo is an exception, he has a keen eye and perceives business opportunities at this time, perhaps this is also the reason why Qin Zhengguo dared to take risks to do border trade when everyone was worried about border trade and made a fortune from it.

Today's Qin Zhengguo is no longer the Qin Zhengguo of the past, in Xiangjiang for more than half a year, Qin Zhengguo's own improvement is obvious, and now it is not what it used to be.

"There is something you don't know very well, I know a lot in Xiangjiang." Qin Zhengguo continued: "Xiangjiang used to be mainly manufacturing, but as early as the 60s, Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry was one of the few in Southeast Asia, and the manufacture of various light industrial products, such as clothing, toys, electronic products and department stores, was very prosperous. However, after entering the 70s, many places in Southeast Asia began to develop, coupled with the rise of the real estate industry in Hong Kong in recent years, many businessmen changed the direction of investment, which led to the continuous depression of the manufacturing industry. ”

"In the past six months, I have dealt with many factory owners in Xiangjiang, and they are all lamenting that the glory of Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry is gone, and now the survival of Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry is becoming more and more difficult, especially the rising labor costs, resulting in more and more competitive pressure on product exports."

Speaking of this, Qin Zhengguo suddenly asked everyone if they knew the average salary level in Xiangjiang, and everyone shook their heads blankly at the same time, Song Yuanchao knew it in his heart but pretended not to know like everyone else.

"Ordinary white-collar workers, that is, sitting in office buildings, the current average salary is about 2,000, the supervisor level can reach about 3,000, and the manager and vice president level is about 4,000 to 5,000, such as Xu Hui, the current vice president of our company, her salary is 4,500, although it is not high in the industry, it is not low."

"The average blue-collar worker is a factory worker, with an average salary of about 1,800 to 2,500 ......."

"No, how can this worker be paid more than he does in an office?" Ying Caixia couldn't help but interject, didn't Qin Zhengguo just say that he sat in the office with a salary of about 2,000, why did he suddenly get 2,500 for a worker?

"Hehe, this is different from our country, the blue-collar salary in Xiangjiang is much higher, mainly depends on technology and ability, some skilled masters get three or four thousand, not worse than some managers and vice presidents or something. In fact, this reason is very simple, just like it is not for nothing that the salary level of some senior technicians in our country is higher than that of the factory director, is it not this truth? ”

After listening to Qin Zhengguo's explanation, everyone nodded slightly, this is indeed reasonable. At the same time, I also sincerely envy and sigh for the high income of Xiangjiang people.

At present, the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the renminbi is about 5:1, one is five yuan to one yuan, one thousand Hong Kong dollars is 200 yuan, and the monthly income of ordinary workers is 400 yuan.

This is almost the monthly income of a Xiangjiang person, which is equivalent to the monthly income of ten ordinary workers in the mainland. And don't forget that this is the official exchange rate, which is 4:1 or even higher according to the black market exchange rate, so that the income of ordinary workers can be converted into at least about 500 yuan.

500 yuan is an out-and-out high income, and there is no enterprise worker in the mainland who cannot get it, even if it is a high-level person such as a factory director or chief engineer, but it is only the income standard of ordinary workers and white-collar workers in Xiangjiang.

If according to the level of the manager in charge or even the vice president and general manager, this income is even more terrifying, no wonder so many people desperately want to run to Xiangjiang, you must know that the income of working in Xiangjiang for three or four years is equal to the income of working in the mainland for a lifetime, who is not jealous of such a gap?

"But do you know what the income of the workers in Heung Kong was in the sixties?" At this time, Qin Zhengguo threw out another question, and seeing that everyone shook their heads and said that they didn't know, Qin Zhengguo uncovered the mystery: "At that time, the monthly salary income of ordinary clerks in Xiangjiang was no more than three hundred, and the average newcomer was about one hundred, and the monthly income of workers was almost to this extent, and since the seventies, with the continuous development of Xiangjiang, this standard has also continued to rise, until now it has become the current level." ”

"If you have more income, of course it's good for ordinary people, because you have more money, and if you have money, you're rich, isn't it?" Qin Zhengguo said with a smile, everyone laughed at the same time, of course, everyone wants to have a high income, and they don't like low income, this is human nature.

Just like now, every unit has a lot of trouble every year in order to adjust the salary of half a level and one level for the quota, and even take pesticides for the salary of two or three yuan a month, and come to the door with kitchen knives to threaten the leaders, shouting that if the list is not available, it is common for people to drink pesticides or cut people.

After the official notice of wage adjustment came down, it was even more joyful and sad.

This scene is similar to the imperial examination in the feudal era, and when I saw the people on the list, I should dance happily, calling friends and calling friends to not get drunk tonight. As for those who fell off the list, there were those who lost their souls and even cried on the spot, dragging their dejected bodies to leave ...... like walking corpses.

After everyone laughed, Qin Zhengguo said again: "This sounds like a good thing, but it's also a bad thing. Because the growth of people's income has led to the continuous rise of production costs, so that if the original cost of producing a piece ......of clothing is five yuan, then the current cost will rise from five yuan to twenty yuan, thirty yuan, or even forty yuan. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Zhengguo looked at Li Daqi, among them, only Li Daqi was in charge of the factory, and he had the most say on this issue.

Li Daqi nodded silently, Qin Zhengguo is right, just like the Huhai factory, the proportion of fabrics and accessories in the cost of a garment is the largest, but the proportion of labor costs is the smallest, and the other parts are the expenses of storage, transportation and circulation.

If the factories in Huhai and Xiangjiang suddenly increase the wages of workers from the current dozens of yuan per month to thousands of yuan or more per month, then in the case of maintaining the original cost of raw materials, the proportion of labor in the product cost suddenly exceeds all other costs, thus raising the overall cost of finished clothing.

At this point, the price of clothing must no longer be able to maintain the original price base, and the price increase is certain, otherwise the more production will be the more losses, so that even if there is gold and silver at home, it is not enough to fill.

Qin Zhengguo continued to introduce the current industrial situation of Xiangjiang, with the rise of the real estate economy and the rise of labor costs, the manufacturing industry in Xiangjiang has been sunset, many businessmen are either transforming real estate or struggling to support, guarding the factory can not see any future.

Nowadays, the rise of reform and opening up in China has given many factories in Xiangjiang a shot in the arm, such as those clothing, small electronic products and department store products that are popular in China, but in the long run, this is just a return to the past.

Many of the factory owners in Heung Kong took this opportunity to increase production in order to reap the benefits before the end of the manufacturing industry in Hong Kong, and some factory owners took advantage of this spring breeze to sell their factories and turn their factories into other industries.

Qin Zhengguo saw very clearly that the key to his raising this issue today was to directly acquire a suitable factory at this time, and then move the equipment from Xiangjiang to Pengcheng to set up a new factory.

After all, the equipment of many factories in Xiangjiang is still very good, and most of them are imported equipment from Dongying, which is far better than domestic equipment in terms of equipment itself and production efficiency. What's more, these equipment cannot be bought in China at all, but they can be purchased at a very cheap price when purchased in Xiangjiang.

After the acquisition of the factory, the transfer of the factory to the mainland, especially Pengcheng, which is the closest to Xiangjiang, can not only retain the production capacity of the original factory, but also maximize the benefits in terms of labor costs.

This can be clearly seen from the income gap between the two places, and the most critical thing for labor-intensive enterprises is labor costs, and the reduction of labor costs can make products competitive again, so that they are cost-effective from that aspect.

"Sounds good, but how much does it cost to buy a factory in Xiangjiang?" After listening to Qin Zhengguo's narration, everyone didn't speak for a while, as if they were digesting what Qin Zhengguo said.

After a while, Li Daqi couldn't help but ask, he was the only person in charge of the factory in the audience, so he was naturally very interested in Qin Zhengguo's suggestion.
