36 Purchase of cruise ships
"The colored ones are also assembled, and the picture tubes you imported from RB?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
"It's not RB, it's Wanwan." Lei Shengli shook his head and said: "Wanwan has opened a large color TV foreign company, called RCA, from the United States, they also make color picture tubes, and they also sell them to the outside world, and the price is much cheaper than RB's." ”
“RCA?” Chen Zhiwen thought about it, he remembered that this American company was not a good thing, it directly put chemical pollutants into the groundwater of the big breast, causing serious pollution, but I don't know if they started to do this at this time?
Seeing that Chen Zhiwen seemed to be thinking about something, Lei Shengli didn't bother, and after a while, Chen Zhiwen said: "That's okay, anyway, it's also assembly, maybe there will be new opportunities for color TVs." ”
In the future, in the field of electrical appliances, Midea will definitely lay out air conditioners, refrigerators, core compressors and software and hardware in the electronic era, etc., but the TV is a headache, and the layout of the picture tube? Even if a tech giant like Sony develops a new technology, it costs tens of millions of dollars, and it often distorts the tech tree, and in the end it gets nothing.
But if you don't lay it out, you can't do it, there are still more than 30 years in the TV LCD era, it is impossible to wait until that time, the most important thing is that Hong Kong does not have talents in this area, and you can't get it out if you have money, and now you can only take one step at a time, first maintain the market, and wait until the mainland opens up, to see if there is an opportunity for yourself.
"Okay, then I'll send someone to Wanwan for a trip." Lei Shengli said happily.
"Okay, let's do it first, the focus is still on the motor, I want to reduce the cost of the fan as soon as possible." Chen Zhiwen said that in Hong Kong, he is not worried about anyone in the manufacturing industry who can beat him, but South Korea's Samsung is a tricky opponent, but in his impression, Samsung's electric fan does not seem to be famous, and it may not look down on this market.
"Understood, then I'll go first." Lei Shengli left the office after saying goodbye, leaving Chen Zhiwen alone.
This is a separate one-story office on the highest floor of an industrial office building, where some administrators and managers work, and a large one is reserved for Chen Zhiwen, the boss, although he may not come a few times a year.
The layout of the physical manufacturing industry has successfully taken the first step, and then it will be cultivated in two directions, the first is naturally the field of industrial chain, as long as there is money, at least the integration of the low-end industrial chain is not a problem, and the second is the expansion of the terminal market, currently relying on the market in the Middle East, temporarily able to give the United States a few years of orders, but this will not last long, and when the existing brand giants increase production capacity all pour in, the market in the Middle East will also be saturated.
And at that time, if the United States does not develop other markets, it will be doomed, and therefore, we must begin to develop the European and American markets, with his current resources, it is natural to develop the American market first, fortunately, Red Bull is a new product in the beverage market, with the current trend, it is not difficult to enter the major supermarket channels in the United States, and with this relationship, at least the people of the United States can have a channel that is not deep, and can communicate with these supermarkets, although it may not be useful, but it is certainly much stronger than not having this relationship.
As for the future of Costco, the role of the United States is actually not big, no matter how fast Costco's development speed is, if you want to have a certain scale, at least five years or more than ten years is the most basic demand, and it basically has no big effect in the early stage.
After checking Midea's financial information, Chen Zhiwen left the industrial building, although he was still losing money in the past few months, but the development plan was still within his expectations, and he was naturally a little happy.
And Chen Zhiwen generally likes double happiness.
The Presidential Suite at the Hilton Hotel is full of cheerfulness.
After changing a sheet, Zhang Yunxue talked about her last trip, and today she lived alone in the hotel with Chen Zhiwen, and the rare opportunity made her very happy.
"Next time I buy a cruise, you can drive wherever you want." Chen Zhiwen listened to the somewhat boring description of the scenery, and said with a yawn, Zhang Yunxue participated in a large cruise to RB before, patented a circle in RB's open sea, and then stopped in a few cities for shopping, fun, compensation and food.
Cruise is a relatively high-end tour, some families in Hong Kong are good middle-class will participate, before Chen Zhiwen was busy, so he sent a few of these card friends out to travel.
"How much does a cruise ship cost? How expensive is a building? Zhang Yunxue asked with some curiosity.
Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "If you don't need it, a few million is enough." ”
Now the Hong Kong dollar, the dollar is still very valuable, millions of Hong Kong dollars is a very large amount, at the same time, the shipbuilding technology in the 70s is far inferior to later generations, for the rich cruise ships are small, until the eighties and nineties, a batch of technology tycoons appeared, large-size cruise ships have become the standard for the rich.
"That's so expensive." Zhang Yunxue said.
"Should you buy it or buy it, or you go to see for me first, which European cruise ships are more beautiful, let's buy one and put it in Hong Kong, so that Hong Kong can go to sea to play if you are tired of playing." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, playing mahjong at sea is also a hobby of Hong Kong tycoons, but he can't play mahjong, only poker.
As for the choice of European cruise ships, there is no good choice, the cruise ship industry, Europe is the absolute first, this field even 50 years later, the mainland has become the world's largest ship manufacturing country, there is no way to win this field.
Of course, the market in this field itself is very small, and there is nothing worth it.
"I'm going to Europe?" Zhang Yunxue asked.
"It's okay to go, it's okay not to go, there are representatives of these European shipbuilding companies here in Hong Kong, you release the news, naturally someone will contact you, and when you have almost chosen, you can go to Europe to see the real thing." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.
Although Hong Kong is small, it is also a small city, but in the 70s it is the largest gathering place of customers in the global shipbuilding industry, there are at least 4 ship kings who can rank in the top 50 in the world, at the same time, the four major ocean companies, some Chinese families also have a running ship business, naturally, the global shipbuilding industry attaches importance to here, although the cruise ship industry and commercial ships are different, but most of them belong to the same group.
"Okay." Zhang Yunxue was very happy, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Brother Wen, aren't you together?" ”
"You pick first, put all the information away, and I'll look at it later." Chen Zhiwen touched his smooth hair and said.
