Chapter 521 The idea of electronic retail supermarket and the good voice of Hong Kong
In history, Europe began to decline in the 1980s;
From computers, software, smartphones, the Internet, mobile Internet, new energy industry, Europe basically missed out on all these huge industries, and the rare Nokia was also scrapped by Apple and Android. By the 1920s, Europe was still eating from its 50-year-old capital, and in the end there was nothing left to eat.
< br>What is the future of Europe? Yang Wendong Of course I don’t care, but if the UK can take control of part of the computer industry in this era, Europe’s final outcome may not change in the future, but it will be enough if it can provide itself with some help in the past 20 years;
Of course, this is just to think about how difficult it is to complete this step. I can only say that if you make achievements in the computer and electronics industry, you can appropriately place some industries in the UK. One is to win over the British government, and the other is to win over the British government. It is to use the British background to successfully enter the European and American markets.
If the British government is given a little hope, it will naturally use its remaining energy to protect its hard-won industry.
But right now, it’s still early for personal computers, so there’s no need to think about this for the time being. Everything is just a general idea.
The time soon came to November, and various industries of the Changxing Group were also developing smoothly. The biggest key project was the joint venture factory between RCA and Honor Electronics, and the foundation was already being laid;
When Party A has enough money and Party B owns its own subsidiary, Kinmen Construction, the model is 24 hours a day and night, with people stopping and machines running. Next, the new factory is expected to be completed within 9 months;
This plan shocked the United States. You must know that this is not a simple assembly factory, but a high-tech workshop including color picture tube production. Various pipeline, safety, fire prevention and other measures need to be in place. In the United States, such a factory usually takes two years to build;
But the American ghosts obviously don’t know what Chinese speed is. In the previous life, a car factory like Tesla could be completed in 10 months. In an emergency, two modern hospitals could be built in 10 days. Although today’s Hong Kong is not as good as the mainland in the previous life. infrastructure capabilities, but still not bad.
The Hong Kong government has also begun to relocate many factories in North Point to prepare for the introduction of home appliance companies in the future.
In a small office building in North Point, Yang Wendong looked at the construction site in the distance and asked: "How is the plan to introduce white home appliances?"
Wang Zhiqun beside him said: "Currently We are still negotiating with some companies in the United States, because we have a partnership with RCA Cooperation, so basically they have met with many senior executives of large home appliance companies in the United States;
But they are still somewhat reluctant to invest in Hong Kong, because they may be more reluctant to invest in the Commonwealth for the same investment. Happy to choose Canada ”
"Canada? It's no different from the United States there?" Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Wang Zhiqun nodded and said: "Yes, the labor costs in Canada are not much worse than those in the United States. It is definitely not cost-effective for them to invest there. However, these companies may consider the ZZ risk issue more, naturally. They don’t believe in Hong Kong, not even Wanwan.”
“That’s right.” Yang Wendong nodded;
Because he knows the future, he often dares to make big bets, but for other capital, investing in Hong Kong or Bay Area means taking great risks;
Just like a man in his previous life For wealthy mainland Chinese who want to invest overseas, the first factor to exclude is countries that may have military conflicts. This kind of thing can be directly KO without even thinking about it;
Even if the interests involved are significant, the most we can do is build an assembly plant and adopt a light-asset model to avoid heavy investment. If a war breaks out, all the investment will be in vain;
This is the case in Hong Kong as well. There are ready-made cases, and in a few years Zheng Yutong will join forces The Macau gambling king went to Iran to invest in a casino. As a result, ZB broke out there, and then the investment of 50 million US dollars was lost. Fortunately, the two people's health bars were thick enough, otherwise they would have lost everything. Such a huge loss is what happened to Yang Wendong today. It can't be said to be small money.
“We will continue to discuss this matter with American companies.” Wang Zhiqun continued: “There is also a second plan to introduce various technologies and production lines of the previous generation from the United States, and then produce and sell them ourselves;
Washing machines are not needed, but we lack the technical reserves for refrigerators and air conditioners. It will be a good thing for us to introduce it.
One is that the Asian economy is getting better and better, and the demand for white goods will also be higher and higher. The second is to wait for the container terminal in Hong Kong to open to navigation. We built Various large electrical appliances can be shipped directly to Europe and the United States through containers at low cost, opening up the world's largest market. ”
"Purchasing technology and production lines is not a problem." Yang Wendong said: "But if you plan to sell in Europe and the United States, this channel is difficult to build, especially after-sales. It took Japan more than ten years to fully establish after-sales services in Europe and the United States. ”
Yue Complex electrical appliances or technical industrial products require more complete after-sales, and even after-sales is a moat of the same level as technology;
Because no matter how awesome the technology is, it is impossible to guarantee that the product will not have problems, and high-value products If there is no after-sales service, who would dare to buy it? After all, technology is useless unless it is a cross-generational product like a smartphone;
Wang Zhiqun said: "This can only be done step by step. My initial plan is to do this in the UK We have established about 100 after-sales points. A small number of them are invested by ourselves, and most of them are contracted to local maintenance companies. We will send people to repair the company;
Then we will mainly open up the British market, and then Australia and Canada. These are also the Commonwealth of Western countries. After these are completed, we will gradually enter the United States and finally Europe. Other countries, but I guess it will be their turn in more than ten years.”
"Those European countries are not in a hurry. They can just deal with France, Germany, and Italy first for profit. Their languages are different and the operating costs are too high. There is no need." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Your strategy is very good. Prioritize it." Commonwealth countries, and then the United States, if we win these markets, it will take a long time for us to That's enough."
"Yes," Wang Zhiqun said: "But judging from the investment costs in dozens of cities in the Middle East, the investment in the UK will be higher, but fortunately Carrefour acquired it. At the VictorValue supermarket over there, we are also planning to use this resource to build an after-sales base.”
< br>Yang Wendong nodded and said: "This is okay. This can also be done in Singapore and Wanwan, but the market is a bit smaller. As for the United States, you can find Wal-Mart and cooperate with them, but they are currently only a few in the central United States. The state will not be of much help to you."
Wang Zhiqun said: "I. You know, these are actually things that will happen in a few years. By then, it may be a little different from now."
"That's right." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "I need to look at the funding situation in the future. , maybe I will also personally invest in the US retail industry, which will be helpful to you then.”
Wang Zhiqun asked: "Carrefour wants to invest in the United States?"
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "No, I have an idea, maybe to build a professional electrical appliance retail mall in the United States. It is a collection."
< br>Before the outbreak of the electronics industry, the core electronic products basically only had a few home appliances, which were placed in supermarkets or ordinary shopping malls. It is enough to sell them by the way;
But in the next ten years, the electronics industry will have portable music players, electronic game consoles, personal computers, etc., and even home appliances will have many new things. When this industry When developing rapidly, professional electronic product supermarkets will be born, integrating sales, consultation, after-sales and other services.
For example, Best Buy in the previous life was like this. This company was born in the 1960s, but it was renamed in the 1980s. Yang Wendong didn’t know what it was called before, so there was no way to invest. Since there was no way If you want to invest, you might as well try it yourself.
This kind of industry does not violate the taboos of the US government and can safely do business in the United States. This is also a safe way to indirectly share the huge profits after the explosion of the electronics industry.
After listening, Wang Zhiqun said: "Yang Sheng, such an industry requires a lot of investment, but if it really succeeds, it will not only help us develop, but you can even take advantage of some Japanese and American mainlands." "It has to be very big, almost all over the United States." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Even if you have money, you have to do this step by step. It’s only possible in ten years, it’s still early.”
Wang Zhiqun said with a smile: “If we can achieve this result, it will be worthwhile in twenty or thirty years.”
“You should do this first. Don't worry about it, just operate it according to the existing model. "Yang Wendong added: 'Even if there is such a subsidiary in the future, it will be at the first level and will not be in your name;
I need it to play a channel role with peace of mind, not to glorify electronic services. ’
“Don’t worry, Yang Sheng, I understand.” Wang Zhiqun said. Yang Wendong asked again: "How is the development of electronic watches going?"
Wang Zhiqun replied: "We are still researching. I have invited some engineers from the United States and Japan, and some Chinese. The samples currently developed are unstable and need to be debugged."
"Okay, let them work harder," Yang Wendong nodded.
Many very simple things in previous lives, industrial products that could be made in a small workshop, may have been industrial crown jewels a few decades ago, and were extremely difficult to make;
For example, Epson in the original history After Seiko bought RCA’s LCD patent, it took them two or three years to come up with an LCD electronic watch;
< br>Of course, this is also related to the fact that Epson has not invested a lot of resources. I have invested a lot of money now, just to become the first company in the world to develop electronic watches. I don’t care how much money I can make. , just the title of “inventor” will be of great help to the promotion of the Honor brand.
At the end of November, Yang Wendong came to the TVB headquarters in Tseung Kwan O;
Downstairs, Yang Wendong glanced at the building above and said to Qi Ruifan: "This building is not working well, you go and talk to Zheng Zhijie Tell him to find a larger land for you to build a new headquarters in Tseung Kwan O.”
"Okay, thank you Yang Sheng." Qi Ruifan was overjoyed after hearing this.
With the financial resources of Changxing Group, a new building is nothing. However, TVB’s own profitability has always been average, so it is not easy to apply to the headquarters to build a building. Within Changxing Group, this has never happened. This kind of thing. What the boss Yang Wendong himself proposed does not count.
In the past two years, as TVB's TV series have gradually become popular, and even Waifu was sold, the company's profits have begun to increase. This is probably why Yang Wendong agreed to build a new headquarters.
After entering the building, several people went directly to the conference room above;

After Yang Wendong took a sip of tea, he said: "Lao Qi, the martial arts anti-Japanese drama you filmed during this period is still good, and the filming is very good. This TV series is also very popular in Nanyang. It is the first Hong Kong drama to be released in Asia. "
"This is also due to Yang Sheng's good guidance," Qi Ruifan immediately said. The biggest credit is always the leadership.
"This has nothing to do with me." Yang Wendong waved his hand and said: "You have successfully captured this market, and now the results are so good. By the end of this year, everyone at TVB will have a lot of bonus income."
For TVB, Yang Wendong actually did not interfere much after its establishment. In his capacity, he interfered in TV dramas or movies. Film shooting is a bit too low, and at most they can provide some financial support;
It seems that Changxing Film Company and TVB have also reached an agreement to start filming themes during World War II. However, with their funds and personnel, We can’t shoot wars, and it would be more sensitive to shoot, so we only shoot the confrontation between folk martial arts schools and Japanese ronin.
Although logically the Japanese have guns and don't have to compete, there seems to be some problems, but the flaws are not concealed, the overall quality is still very good, especially nowadays, martial arts is the trend, whether it is TV or movies, after filming a few movies, they have achieved results .
This also made Yang Wendong, who originally expected Li Xiaolong to break into the Asian market, a little earlier. Of course, in terms of influence, compared with Li Xiaolong, the current few TV series and movies are still not enough, at most they are a start.
"Thank you Yang Sheng." Qi Ruifan said with a smile.
Yang Wendong added: "As for TV dramas, if you continue to maintain your position, I won't worry about it. The better the results, the better. However, I found that TVB does not seem to be good at variety shows and music."< br>
Qi Ruifan also said: "Yes, the variety show aspect is still a little bit behind, and the music aspect is not very good either, especially the original songs, which are very poor. Many people still like to go to Japan to buy song copyrights and then exchange them. Word;
And original songs cannot sell as well as Japanese songs, so many people are reluctant to create original songs. ”
“This is a problem. "Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Japan's population is more than ten times ours, and its economy and culture are also stronger. Their songs must be much better than ours;
It is impossible to beat Japanese music, but we still have to think. The only way to develop our own music is to develop our own music. Once the music industry is ready, various variety shows and even movies and TV series will be of great help. "
Qi Ruifan said: "Yang Sheng, my encouragement for original songs is already quite high. Especially from Honor Electronics, the dividends for original songs have been specially increased. This is already considered a subsidy. , otherwise the normal market would not be able to do this. "
"I know, but these subsidies can only help current singers. "Yang Wendong said: "But I estimate that besides these people, there are also many Chinese people in Hong Kong or other places who have musical talent, but they may not know it themselves.
So I think we should start from this aspect, find ways to discover them, and then cultivate them. "
"I am already studying the European and American model of discovering singers and looking for talented people, but the progress is indeed very slow. "Qi Ruifan replied.
"This model in Europe and the United States is also correct, but it is too inefficient to actively look for it. "Yang Wendong said with a smile: "I am going to hold a program so that countless ordinary people can have the opportunity to participate, and then our judges can discover various potential stocks from it;
Just like the Hong Kong Miss Election, first Each town conducts preliminary elections and then gathers them step by step. In this process , excellent talents will gradually appear, even if only a few people can win the award in the end, but in this process, we may find dozens or even hundreds of potential talents;
Then we can carry out specialized training , in this way, it is very beneficial to the development of Chinese music in Hong Kong. ”
"Yang Sheng, what kind of variety show is this?" Qi Ruifan asked with some confusion.
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "I call it The Voice. If it is held in Hong Kong, it will naturally be called The Voice Hong Kong."
"Are you planning to host it in other countries?" Qi Ruifan asked in surprise.
"Of course not." Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "But this program can be applied for copyright. As long as we make achievements in Hong Kong, TV stations in other countries may spend money to purchase it in the future. .”
