Chapter 510: Golden Opportunities in the Medical Industry
Early the next morning, Lin Youjing arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York with information.
Yang Wendong looked at the information in his hand and said: "Do you know Buffett, who holds 16% of Berkshire Hathaway's shares?"
Lin Youjing said: " I know that this person is a well-known investor in the United States, and his return on investment is very high. In China Wall Street is also somewhat famous. He started investing in Berkshire Hathaway in 1962, but Wall Street was not optimistic about it. It is unclear why he invested in this company."
"It's a bit strange. "Yang Wendong nodded, but he didn't really understand;
If he wants to use a listed company to help him raise funds and then invest, there are so many industries in the United States. There is no need to choose the sunset industry, the textile industry. There are so many listed companies;
Of course, it is also possible. He just saw that the stock of this company was low because of the sunset industry; or there were some reasons that outsiders didn't know.
Lin Youjing analyzed: "Perhaps in order to control employment in the United States, although the U.S. textile industry is not doing well, Berkshire, as one of the three major textile giants, is still very large. With more than 10,000 employees, it has considerable influence in many states;
And Buffett is very capable, maybe he thinks he can save this company."
"Your analysis makes sense," Yang Wendong said with a smile, "It's just global trade. Change is the general trend and no one can change it.”
Historically, after Buffett took complete control of Berkshire in the 1970s, he also tried hard to change the destiny of this manufacturing company, but ultimately failed;
Not to mention the current United States, it will be a few decades later. In the industrial mad mainland, when labor costs are too high, labor-intensive industries such as the textile industry must also be moved away. This is inevitable for social development;
Lin Youjing asked tentatively: "Yang Sheng, are you Want to invest in Buffett?”
“No, you don’t need to do anything now. You can just check all aspects of information about the United States.” Yang Wendong said: “Starting from today, we will allocate the cash from all our group’s businesses in the United States, and then communicate with Citigroup After establishing a good relationship with the bank, I need to provide a direct loan at the appropriate time.”
There will be a major stock market crash in the US market next year. At that time, it will be an opportunity to acquire stocks of some high-quality companies;
< br>
Anyway, it is not easy to transfer U.S. funds back to Hong Kong on a large scale for the time being, so it is better to invest here and use the power of the stock market to increase the value several times. In the future, when the manufacturing industry in Hong Kong becomes stronger, the U.S. will also need to invest. A lot of capital is needed to build channels.
"Okay." Lin Youjing agreed.
As for the boss’s investment, almost no one in the group doubts his vision.
Yang Wendong looked at the TV in front of the coffee shop again, and then asked: "Has the cartoon Peppa Pig been released in the United States?"
"It has been released, and it has won "It achieved good results," Lin Youying replied: "But in the early days, because it was a Hong Kong cartoon, it could not be broadcast on the three major TV stations, so I chose a state TV station;
After it was released, it became very popular among American children. Changxing Culture has also sent people to communicate with various TV stations in the United States to sell the copyright. "
"Okay, if you have success in the United States, you can enter the global market. Yang Wendong smiled and said: "In addition to cooperating with the negotiations between Changxing Culture and the TV station, you also have to prepare and contact good channels for various toys, stickers, and derivatives to enter the U.S. market." "
Lin Youjing replied: "No problem, Changxing Industrial already has many channels for the toy industry in the United States, which can be used directly, and the nature of toys is a cultural industry, and Peppa Pig is very popular. After that, it can also stimulate the increase of channels. "
"Okay, you can contact us internally. " Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Among the major industries of Changxing Industrial, toys can only be ranked second level. The core reason is that without the support of the cultural industry, it is useless to just sell some water guns, puppets and the like. , Li Jiacheng also did this in his early years, but the upper limit was only a few hundred employees;
Now, with the development of its own cultural industry and the expansion of overseas channels, the toy industry can also become one of the economic power engines of Changxing Group and even Hong Kong in the future.
The time soon came to early July, and Yang Wendong returned to Hong Kong from the United States;
As soon as he got off the airport, he noticed a smell floating in the air. At the same time, many people above the airport also They all wore masks;
The assistant Xiaoying who came to pick up the plane also handed a mask to the boss and said: "Yang Sheng, wear a mask. The influenza in Hong Kong has been a bit serious recently."
"Yeah, okay." Yang Wendong nodded and put it on.
Influenza is not a cold, but when translated from English to Chinese, the translations are somewhat similar. In fact, they are two different diseases. Besides, even if it is a common cold, he does not want to get it once.
After a few people got to the car, the doors and windows were closed, and they took off their masks. Aying said: "Yang Sheng, I just received news that the WHO (World Health Organization) recently reported influenza epidemic in Asia. , is caused by an influenza A virus called H3N2, and it has mutated, so it has become much more virulent.”
Aying is the personal life assistant of the boss of Changxing Group. In addition to arranging various schedules, she also has to pay attention to things that may affect the boss's safety and privacy;
The simplest thing is, if the boss wants When traveling, she has to pay attention to weather, traffic and other factors; and if there are signs of natural disasters, he must also pay attention.
"I heard about it when I was in the United States." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Watson's is already producing masks in large quantities. You can arrange for the management of all groups to distribute them to all employees below. Masks.”
Putting aside safety issues, once tens of thousands of our employees get sick in large numbers, it will have a great impact on the factory; and it’s not just employees, but also employees’ family members who get sick, and they will also take leave in batches.
Influenza is actually not very contagious and can be prevented with proper defense. Aying agreed: "Okay."
After returning home, Yang Wendong also carefully informed his family about the incident. During this period, try not to go out, and you have to go out. Take precautions and stay away from children and the elderly if you have symptoms.
Su Yiyi said: "Brother Dong, we adults are fine, but what about children?"
"Oh, this is indeed a problem." Yang Wendong was also a little helpless and said: "Just try to control the children. Go out less and play inside. At the school, I will ask the school director to also control it."
This flu should last for a year or two, and it is impossible to prevent children from going to school. We can only say that we have tried our best to control it;
Fortunately, the Yang family’s medical resources are still sufficient, even in this era No Austrian Treatment with seltavir, a miracle drug, should not be difficult, but people may have to suffer a lot;
Influenza, which can become a pandemic, has also been recorded in history as one of the four major epidemics in the 20th century, causing hundreds of deaths. If more than 10,000 people died, they couldn’t be just weak chickens;
This is still recorded. I don’t know how many people have not been recorded in this era. In the poor era, people were very thin and malnourished, and a small illness could be fatal. of.
The next day, Yang Wendong came to Watsons Industrial Zone in Shatin.
"Yang Sheng, the ham sausage factory has expanded a lot recently. Do you want to go and take a look?" Zhou Haoran asked with a smile.
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "No, go to your medical mask factory."
"Okay." Zhou Haoran nodded. He also knew that the boss was concerned about the flu. Now everyone The big media are also reporting this incident, and many people are a little panicked.
A few people quickly came to a 4-story industrial building. Zhou Haoran introduced: "Yang Sheng, this is our mask production base. Although there is only one industrial building, we can produce it every day. 300,000 masks, mainly because the product is simple.”
"Let's take a look first," Yang Wendong said.
After entering, the composition inside is indeed very simple. The equipment is made into a mask, and the ear wire is hung on the mouth, and then the carton is packed and sealed.
Zhou Haoran said: "Yang Sheng, now my factory alone is enough for the Hong Kong market."
"One Hong Kong market is not enough." Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "Continue to expand the scale , the WTO has already issued a warning, people are mobile, and the flu may It will spread throughout Asia or other continents just like it did in 1957, and the demand for masks will increase significantly in the next short time.”
Although I don’t really like making this kind of money, I can’t prevent this kind of disaster from happening now. , expanding this industry by yourself will also benefit human society;
This in itself is also a golden opportunity to expand the medical industry.
“Okay, then I will expand the scale.” Zhou Haoran agreed.
The expansion of this kind of simple assembly industry is very easy. You have land, buildings and people. At most, the equipment needs Dongsheng to produce it. But this kind of equipment is also very simple and can be produced by a small workshop. .
Yang Wendong added: "In addition, within Hong Kong, it can be sold at a reasonable price. Our own brother companies will also increase the purchase volume internally."
"Okay." Zhou Haoran nodded. He raised his head and said: "But what if someone takes our cheap supplies and exports them?"
"Is this a problem?" Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: "Just control the traders, limit personal purchases, and arrange for friends at the customs to keep a closer look;
This thing is textiles , It's not like smuggling this thing."
"That's no problem, Changxing Trading has the ability to control this matter." Zhou Haoran said with a smile.
“That’s all that is suitable for us to do. You must also pay attention to defense.” Yang Wendong reminded again.
When I travel back to this world, I already have enough money, so safety and health are more important, as well as some family and friends around me, etc.;
His subordinates are not very good friends, but after getting along for many years, he doesn't want anything to happen to them.
Zhou Haoran nodded and said: "Thank you Yang Sheng for your concern, I will pay attention to it."
"Okay, that's it," Yang Wendong asked again: "Where is the system made in Malaysia?" How is the situation at the sugar factory?”
