Chapter 549, White Tofu Asks for Help!
Villa 78 Deep Water Bay, living room.
For many years, I sat on the sofa in the living room and told stories to the little kids.
He has only returned to Hong Kong Island for a few days, and has been busy working in Beijing, Fenghuang Village, Xishui Village and other places.
For the boutique supermarket project, he has put a lot of effort into it and cares about it very much.
Starting from January next year, Huimin Supermarket will launch matsutake mushrooms, truffles and other products in flagship stores in major cities around the world.
These luxuries will be placed in the luxury area.
Such an area is a rehearsal for the next boutique supermarket, and it is also a test of the market.
At the same time, it is also to collect more market information, so that many years of consumer consumption habits, psychology and other aspects of a comprehensive understanding, to make more accurate judgments.
In addition, many years have also begun to consciously market some seafood products.
In today's era, many abalone are on Hong Kong Island or the mainland, and they are naturally not low in value as one of the eight fresh.
In addition to abalone, sea cucumber, dried scallops, shark fin and other eight fresh, the value of other seafood can only be said to be average.
Therefore, if you want to be a boutique supermarket, then you will inevitably need to do marketing.
For example, bluefin tuna.
However, in this day and age, the value is not high, or even very low.
Even at this time in Tokyo, it was still treated as cat food.
Bluefin tuna caught by mistake in the ocean is caught by a fishing boat, and it is paid to have it taken off the ship and disposed of.
This is the biggest role of bluefin tuna in this era.
Of course, from the mid-to-late 70s, bluefin tuna was finally a little bit on the table.
Why?
Since the 70s, Tokyo has emerged from the decadence of World War II and achieved economic growth.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the aftermath of World War II.
In fact, after 1945, Tokyo was managed very, very strictly by bald eagles, not to mention the army, even if it was the police, there were no knives.
Only batons.
You can imagine how miserable the overall social situation in Tokyo was at that time.
Alive, from an industrialized society, overnight, back to an agrarian society.
It's that miserable!
However, the turning point was also very soon, and that was the Peninsula War!
After the battle began, Bald Eagle transferred a large amount of heavy equipment industry from their homeland, and the overall output value reached 14 billion US dollars.
It is precisely because of this that life in Tokyo is a little better.
In fact, the mainland also received a heavy equipment industry worth about $5 billion from Moscow.
However, the mainland did not take off as quickly as Tokyo, and in addition to other external reasons, it had a lot to do with the foundation of the heart itself at that time.
As we all know, 49 years ago, the interior was not an industrialized country at all, but a large agricultural country.
Therefore, in the middle of 1960, all the engineers in Moscow were evacuated.
At that time, the mainland was forced to lay off employees.
More than 20 million workers returned to the countryside en masse.
It can be said that it is a piece of chicken feathers.
However, Tokyo was a different country, and it was an industrialized country in the past, so after accepting the heavy equipment industry of Bald Eagle, it quickly rose rapidly.
And since the early seventies, the semiconductor industry has flourished, and so have other industries.
In the process, many of Tokyo's products were exported overseas, especially with bald eagles.
Air freight is required for the transportation of many commodities.
However, most of it was the outflow of goods from Tokyo, and very few goods flowed in.
In other words, the plane rarely brings anything back after it has been delivered to its destination.
I have known the logistics industry for many years, so I know very well that such transportation will cause very large losses.
Against this backdrop, many airlines in Tokyo felt that something had to be done.
In 1972, since some planes were already equipped with cold chain systems, it was decided to use this system to bring back some bluefin tuna from North America to try it out.
These bluefin tuna shipped back from North America are actually the commodities sold in Huimin Supermarket.
However, this thing is actually just placed in the seafood container, which is relatively expensive, but that's all.
It's not a luxury!
Bluefin tuna is a perishable fish, and the fact that bald eagles from thousands of miles away can keep their meat fresh was a miracle for the people of Tokyo at that time.
On the other hand, the people of Tokyo, which was experiencing economic boom at the time, were not short of money, but they wanted to be recognized by the international community in their hearts, and they were very flattering to foreigners.
This scene sounds familiar, right?
There is nothing wrong with it, it is the mainland in the history of the original time and space.
In fact, in this time and space, such a phenomenon has been found for many years, and there are quite a few of them.
Even though he has worked very hard to publish articles and raise public awareness.
At the same time, the implementation of Hanfu culture, the promotion of Huayu to the world, and so on.
However, there are always some people who can't stand up on their own, so they have to kneel and lick those foreigners.
And he also wants to pull others to kneel with him, only in this way will they be happy.
For many years, I didn't know what kind of psychology such people were.
Anyway, he felt that such a person should be sent to Brooklyn, New York.
As we all know, this place in Brooklyn is one of the top three favelas in New York.
There was only one supermarket in the whole area, no banks, almost all blacks, no other outsiders.
There are also two places, Queens and the Bronx, which are known as the three major slums in New York along with Brooklyn.
Speaking of Tokyo, in recent years, driven by both capital and public demand, bluefin tuna shipped back from bald eagles has been sold at a high price.
Therefore, for many years, as one of the capitals, as well as the airlines in Tokyo, and other capitals, they have all been greatly encouraged and continue to advocate for it, causing the value of bluefin tuna to double year by year, and the demand for bluefin tuna has also increased year by year.
But even so, it is not so easy to cut leeks for many years.
There are still plenty of wild bluefin tuna in Guyin's oceans, and it will take a few years to reduce them.
Bluefin tuna is known to have a long growth cycle and take eight years to mature.
Tokyo's fishing fleet, Hong Kong Island, and many other marine fishing companies have also caught a lot of seafood such as bluefin tuna.
Therefore, if you want to cause a sharp decrease in their number, it will take time to settle.
For many years, it was believed that marketing bluefin tuna still required a certain amount of skill and time.
To put it simply, it needs to be a little forced, so the boutique supermarket project must take out the bluefin tuna product separately for marketing.
For example, catch a few super giant bluefin tuna and try it.
Anyway, the people of Tokyo are very, very fond of seafood, and after the Plaza Agreement, housing prices in Tokyo have skyrocketed like a rocket.
It also means that the super reservoir of the real estate industry will become incomparably large.
The house itself is just a place to live, several times or more than ten times the actual value of the house itself, which is also the value and price given to it by the market and the geographical location of the house.
There is nothing wrong with this.
However, after the Plaza Agreement, Tokyo's Noboru Takeshita and others made a misjudgment, which will cause their real estate in Tokyo to skyrocket very quickly.
Once the price of a house in Tokyo is dozens of times its original value, or even hundreds or thousands of times, then Takeshita and the others will definitely be very frightened.
But before this price crash, the people of Tokyo were still very rich.
Therefore, for many years, it was felt that before 1990, it was not a big problem to speculate on the price of bluefin tuna and make it a luxury.
After all, the people of Tokyo today are wealthy and continue to gain international recognition.
So this is the best leek, just cut it hard.
When the time comes, it will be a good thing to cut a stubble from the stock market, the property market and other places.
The entire boutique supermarket project, with boutique fruits, seafood such as abalone and bluefin tuna, and mushroom products such as matsutake mushrooms and truffles, is basically half stable.
Boutique supermarkets also need some more powerful food, there are forced mineral water, etc., which need capital to market.
Obviously, it is just a very ordinary mineral water, and it is really just the kind of IQ tax, but after the exquisite packaging, coupled with its proud price tag, it instantly becomes an unaffordable luxury.
Even for many years, I felt that it could be made a special product in the counter, and it was necessary to lock something like this to 'lock' it, only in this way could it show its compulsion.
Because only in this way can it be sold at a high price.
It's not a strange thing to live in, it's not something very valuable, but it's meant to sell for such a high price.
That's marketing!
Anyway, for these goods, after Qin Huairu saw them herself, she felt that it was outrageous, and she was outrageous, and she was outrageous.
And in the living room at this time, outrageous has not yet arrived home, and white tofu has arrived home first.
"Dad, I want to talk to you about PHS's mobile phone"
At this moment, Bai Tofu's eyes are very resentful, which means that she is not her biological daughter for many years.
Li Xiulun, who was on the side, saw the doubtful eyes of his father-in-law for many years, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said:
"Dad, we went to Apple's new product launch today, and after the conference is over, she will be like this"
Without waiting for many years to speak, Bai Tofu immediately said:
"Dad, after I watched Apple's press conference, I discovered a fact, I am not your biological daughter at all, and I was most likely picked up by you."
Xu Mengyao, who was sitting next to her, suddenly smiled happily:
"Third sister, you didn't pick it up, I was the one my parents picked up."
"Don't talk nonsense, you're biological, and I'm the one who picked it up."
Bai Tofu glared at Xu Mengyao, and then said to many years:
"Dad, you should know what Apple's latest product is, right? A mobile phone that can take pictures, and can also play three kinds of games, our PHS mobile phone can't beat it at all."
"And they have MP3s, which we can't win at all."
After hearing the words for many years, he did not interrupt Bai Tofu's speech, but listened quietly.
Of course, he understands why his daughter said this, it is nothing more than wanting to take a shortcut.
It's not yet the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, but they always think that they can't do it themselves.
Jing Ge'er's child is overconfident, and Bai Tofu's child is more or less unconfident.
Two children complement each other, and it may be perfect.
After the child finished speaking, he asked for many years:
"Do you want to throw in the towel?"
A rhetorical question suddenly made the momentum of white tofu disappear in an instant.
After a pause, she said:
"Dad, didn't I ask you for help, you are my father, it's normal for me to ask you for help, right? That's not a violation. ”
After a pause, Bai Tofu continued:
"I'm not going to throw in the towel, but you've got to help me, Dad......"
"Apple's new product this time, not to mention ordinary consumers, even me, is very excited......"
To be honest, a mobile phone that can take pictures, even if it only has 300,000 pixels, is also a very awesome epoch-making product.
The impact of such high-tech products on the market is undoubtedly very large.
Ordinary consumers have no resistance, which means that the entire mobile phone market is likely to be ruled by Apple again.
Originally, Apple's share of the mobile phone market exceeded 60%.
Now that such a big move has been held, how can Huaxing Company and PHS Company resist?
"In addition, Dad, didn't you say that you want our PHS company to become a competitor of Apple, if our PHS company can't withstand this wave of pressure from Apple......"
Hearing the words behind the white tofu, many years suddenly laughed.
After she had finished speaking, many years later, she said:
"Don't worry, PHS will not be defeated, and Apple is the king of the mobile phone market......"
"Now it's just a matter of returning to the top, as for whether they can really return to the top and stabilize their market position, it depends on whether PHS and Huaxing can put pressure on it......"
"If you're too weak, then they can dominate the global mobile phone market again"
"As for you asking me to help? Daughter, you have to understand that you have not done anything yourself, and you have already begun to be afraid and ask for help, this is a sign of cowardice, do you know? ”
"This isn't the white tofu I know? My daughter wasn't knocked out so easily, was she? ”
was shot back again with an understatement, and the white tofu really had no tricks at this time.
"Dad, you can help others!"
Bai Tofu took out her killer feature: coquettish!
However, it doesn't seem to work.
Her father got up and left, and at the same time took her two younger brothers away, leaving her alone messy in the wind. (End of chapter)
