Chapter 518 The wool comes from the sheep
Guo Henian smiled and said: "What the Malay government means is that it hopes to form a joint venture with you. According to Malay law, you can hold up to 70% of the shares, and then Run a joint venture factory together;
In return, the city center of Kuala Lumpur can give you a very large area of land for free, but it is not free. The Malay side hopes to build a Changxing Plaza to and a Four Seasons Hotel."
"Guo Sheng, such conditions are not attractive to me," Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Although I am interested in real estate, I have nothing about Malaysia. I’m interested.”
With its reputation as one of the Four Asian Tigers, Kuala Lumpur’s housing prices will inevitably skyrocket in the future, but it is doubtful whether it can compare with Hong Kong or even Bay Area and Singapore;
The same is true for investing in real estate. It is much more convenient to invest in Hong Kong, Bay, Singapore and even Japan than in Kuala Lumpur. At least he knows the future trends of these places.
Guo Henian was a little surprised and said: "Yang Sheng, although Kuala Lumpur's economy is not as good as Hong Kong and Singapore, it is pretty good in Southeast Asia. House prices in the city center are several hundred Hong Kong dollars per square foot. A large area in the city center The land is worth hundreds of millions?”
“If you give me hundreds of millions of land for free, you must have to pay for it elsewhere” Yang Wendong shook. He shook his head and said: "And in the past few years, my real estate capital will mainly be in Hong Kong, so I will not consider going to Kuala Lumpur."
The wool comes from the sheep. If you want to get a free piece of land in the capital, you will definitely go to Kuala Lumpur. Other areas have to pay the price. Although he is also preparing to gradually transfer some low-end industries to Singapore, it currently does not include industries with higher technology content.
As for real estate, he doesn’t want to get involved too deeply in a place he’s not familiar with.
Although Hong Kong housing prices will fall in 1973, it will only be half, that is, it will fall to the level of 1971. Looking over a long period of time, it is just a small slope, insignificant, and far less than the wave in 1967;
So in the future he will maintain Continued investment in Hong Kong will slow down a bit in 1971/72 at most. Such investment can last until around 1981. In such a long period of time, even if Hong Kong cannot accommodate his capital, he can also go to Japan and lay out Hiroshima. Agreement
“This It's beyond my expectation." Guo Henian said with a smile: "Since Yang Sheng is not interested, I won't say more;
As a Malay, I am also willing to see Yang Sheng. It is possible to invest in Malaysia, after all, about 40% of Chinese people live there.”
"If the conditions are right, I will consider it." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "But Guo Sheng, if you are interested, we can also cooperate to open a hotel in Kuala Lumpur. You hold the property, and I will Only responsible for business.”
"Haha, good idea, but what I want is my own hotel." Guo Henian said with a smile.
Yang Wendong did not force it, and said: "Okay, don't worry about the Malaysian government's affairs. We will start cooperating on the sugar cane farm first. When we have results in the future, we will see. How about looking at other fields?"
"No problem, I'm also happy to cooperate with Yang Sheng," Guo Henian replied.
After Guo Henian left, Yang Wendong said to Zhou Haoran, who had been silent just now: "Old Zhou, you have more points of contact with Guo Henian. This cooperation is of great significance to the Watsons. ;
If we can use Guo Henian’s ability to expand our production and reduce costs, it will be of great help in cost control of Pepsi OEM and other beverages. ”
< br>
"Understood, I will arrange for people to go to Malaysia immediately." Zhou Haoran promised: "Based on Malaysia's recent development, if one day it has a certain industrial capacity and the local sugar industry chain, Pepsi may be able to They won’t choose us to cooperate with them.”
“Yes, that’s what I’m worried about too,” Yang Wendong added, “Also, take this opportunity to learn about Guo Henian’s management style on the farm. With this joint venture, in the future I They may also invest in the farm themselves;
It doesn’t matter how high they need to be, as long as it can help our business.”
Zhou Haoran said: "Okay."
Yang Wendong said: "Okay, that's it. Carrefour, Changxing Industrial, and Changxing Film Company also have investments in Malaysia. After there are no problems in the past two years, we will Consider investing further in Malaysia ”
Now that Hong Kong is stable, I am not in a hurry to transfer production capacity, so I will naturally take my time. In the process, I may also gain some benefits, such as the land in the city center this time. I can use it in the future when I can trust it. If we reach West Asia, we can further invest to expand our scale.
"Okay." Zhou Haoran smiled.
Yang Wendong looked at some bottles and cans on the counter again, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "How is Watson's cosmetics industry going?"
Watson's in the previous life It was acquired by Hutchison Whampoa and became part of Li Jiacheng's business empire; but now he acquired Watsons more than ten years earlier, so after the acquisition, he did not fully expand the business, but let him gradually preserve his strength and operate it steadily.
Now, 67 years later, many properties acquired by Changxing Real Estate are not suitable for Carrefour or Yijia. Therefore, after Yang Wendong learned about it, he assigned some stores to Watsons to specialize in cosmetics;
As for Watson's traditional Chinese medicine, its development is too slow and too limited. In addition, in many aspects it is indeed not as effective as Western medicine, so there is no promotion.
Zhou Haoran said: "At present, our Watsons has a total of 266 stores in Hong Kong, and the average annual turnover of a store is HK$150,000.
In addition, I have also established an overseas franchise business. Prepare to enter the Singapore and Bayan markets."
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "That's OK, wait until the sales are there. Once we reach a certain scale, we lower prices at the terminal and then increase sales, thus forming an industrial chain. "Now that capital is gradually sufficient, he is also ready to do some business that has been proven by Hong Kong capitalists in his previous life, such as global retail of cosmetics. This is one of them. This industry is relatively simple. As long as you use capital to expand the scale in the early stage, half the battle will be won.
As long as you control the channels, you will control the profits. Everyone in the world basically knows how high the profits of cosmetics are. Those who control the channels will naturally have high profits.
Even when the sales volume is large enough in the future, you can also make your own cosmetics, such as "Dabao".
"Okay, now we are studying some of the moisturizing products internally," Zhou Haoran said with a smile.
Yang Wendong nodded: 'That's good. I won't ask too much about these internal businesses. Once you have certain results, you can tell me them all. ’
In the next half month, Watsons sent a team to Malaysia to inspect Guo Henian’s sugar cane farm in Malaysia, inquired various data, and finally came to a surprising conclusion.
When Yang Wendong received it, he looked at the data in front of him and said in surprise: "The average output of Guo Henian's farm is 1.15 times the local average?"
Zhou Haoran replied: "Yes, this is official We also specially arranged for people to check the data of many harvest workers. They Although I don’t know the data, I can say that Guo Henian’s farm has the best sugarcane growth and is very efficient. The harvesting and sowing speed are much faster than other farms.”
“How is this done? Do you use more chemical fertilizers?" Yang Wendong asked curiously,
" It’s not clear how the body does it, but it is speculated that it relies on management or some experience.” Zhou Haoran said: “Even in the seemingly simple work of growing crops, there are great differences between different farms, such as horses. Let’s take a look at a relatively famous rubber farm. The same area has a very different production capacity. It can differ by 25%;
This also involves factors such as the amount of chemical fertilizers used, the time of use, the amount and time of pesticide injection, watering control, weather and other factors. These are actually professional issues. The more professional people, It is possible to do better, otherwise it will be worse.”

"Yes, everything has a high technical content." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "It seems that Guo Henian is also very capable in farm management, or his team is very capable. I have the ability.”
Same thing. Planting, in the previous life, there was a big gap between the mainland and India. It can be said that different places have a great impact. This aspect does have an impact, but human factors are also very important. For example, famine is serious in many parts of Africa, but after the Chinese people passed there, they could easily They grow a lot of food and vegetables on their land.
In terms of farms, thanks to the investment of capital, the gap may not be exaggerated, but it will definitely exist; as for business competition, many times it depends on that small gap and then the cost-effectiveness , you can get orders, expand the scale, and if the cycle continues, companies with higher costs may go bankrupt.
Zhou Haoran said: "Yes, Guo Henian's ability is really strong. In the field of forest farms and wood board factories, his performance is also among the top three in Malaysia. He even exports furniture himself. , but it has been unable to expand due to restrictions on export transportation.”
"It is estimated that when Malaysia has a container terminal, his business will be much bigger." Yang Wendong analyzed.
The emergence of containers not only reduces transportation time and costs, but more importantly, many goods that are easily damaged along the way can be well protected after being fixed in iron boxes;
< br>This gives many large home appliances, furniture, etc. the opportunity to export in large quantities with confidence.
Zhou Haoran said: ‘If Malaysia has a container terminal, it will be of some benefit to us. '
"In the future, it will be available in Asia. This is not an advantage at all." Yang Wendong added: "Then we will reach a joint venture with Guo Henian as soon as possible, and then purchase farms in Malaysia on a large scale. We Let’s increase sugar production capacity together.”
Unlike in the past, the mainland was often struggling with whether to return farmland to forests or to return forests to farmland. In many countries with few people and land, large areas of cultivated wasteland are wasted. Even these countries have too many forest resources. , so much that the government wants to develop it into farmland, but is restricted Unable to make progress due to funds;
Now Yang Wendong does not value the farm's income, but "sugar" is what he values. If he can gain a certain say in this market, not to mention economic benefits , even on ZZ, it will have a certain influence.
In this era of poverty, many countries in Asia are short of sugar, and people's bodies are in urgent need of sugar.
Even various staple foods are essentially sugars, and sugars can also stimulate taste buds and can quickly restore energy. For people who do heavy work outdoors, they are the best way to quickly restore energy. Best method.
Even in war, sugar is as powerful as a weapon. It can also be used as medicine to provide emergency relief and quickly restore physical fitness.
Zhou Haoran agreed and said: "Okay, there is no big problem in cooperation. After the joint venture is completed, I will arrange for people to negotiate with Guo Henian's people where to purchase land to facilitate our raw material production capacity."
"Okay." Yang Wendong clicked He nodded and said: "In the future, we should learn more about farm operations."
Zhou Haoran smiled and said: "No problem, I will send someone there too."
