Chapter 547 The Establishment of the Far East Exchange
Yang Wendong said: "Call them over, and then ask Zhou Haoran from Watsons to come over too, and let's discuss it together."
"Yes." After Fang Xianming agreed, he went out to make a call.
In the afternoon, all three people came to Yang Wendong's office.
"Yang Sheng." The two Wu brothers greeted quickly: "Hello Zhou Sheng."
The Wu brothers used to sit together with Yang Wendong many times to discuss business. At that time, Yang Wendong's assets far exceeded theirs, but compared to now, the gap between them is even greater.
Together with the heads of the subsidiaries of Changxing Group, their status in Hong Kong is very high, far exceeding that of ordinary Hong Kong companies, such as Maxim's Group.
"Everyone, please sit down." After Yang Wendong asked everyone to sit down, he said: "Wu Sheng, I asked you brothers to come here today. This is how it is"
Listening to the introductions of Yang Wendong and Fang Xianming, the Wu brothers also understood the purpose of coming here today. After listening, Wu Zhande asked: "Yang Sheng, we have also considered the fresh milk business, but later we gave up. Because the cost of just raising cattle is too high;
And now Milk International has basically occupied the entire market. If we want to compete with them, we will inevitably suffer losses for a long time in the early stage. If we don't beat them in the future, it will be difficult to make a profit. ”
"I know this. So where did you consider raising cattle?" Yang Wendong asked again.
In fact, many businesses, especially large-scale service industries, do not have very deep moats. Anyone with money can enter;
But the old giants are basically not worried because for new players, the sunk costs are too high and they need to invest a lot of money. It is not cost-effective to compete with established companies;
Just like food delivery, group buying and taxi-hailing in the Internet industry in previous generations, anyone can participate, and it can be operated with light assets. However, in an era when there are already giants, others will have to burn money to join, and old players will definitely accompany them. If you are willing to give up, you may be able to occupy a certain market, but you will definitely lose money. This is why Meituan and Didi were able to monopolize it in the end. Even Douyin can only rely on huge traffic to get a small share of the pie.
Wu Zhande replied: "I have considered that in Yuen Long, where there is still a large amount of virgin land, it can be improved, but the cost is still relatively high, and there are no perfect roads, and the transportation cost is also very high."
"Yuen Long?" Yang Wendong glanced at the map of Hong Kong hanging on the wall, and then asked Zhou Haoran: "Old Zhou, is it possible to raise cattle in Sha Tin? Isn't there a chicken farm there?"
Zhou Haoran thought for a moment and replied: "I need to discuss this with the Shatin government officials, and also consider the size of the cattle farm. If it is concentrated breeding, it will not require a lot of land, but this model will inevitably pollute a lot. Heavy;
If they are free-range, it would be difficult to have such a large empty land in Sha Tin, and there are not many water resources in Sha Tin. ”
"What is the current farming model of Dairy Milk International?" Yang Wendong looked at Wu Zhande and asked.
Wu Zhande replied: "Milk International used to be a free-range farming model, but then the demand for milk increased and there were more cows, and the local grassland was not enough, so we switched to imported fodder. However, the area was still quite large, so it was a semi-concentrated farming model. .”
Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: "Then we will adopt a free-range farming model. It can also be located in Yuen Long. The area is larger, the fodder is imported, and a road is built to connect to the sea. Just build a small port in Tin Shui Wai; < br>
As for water, we can also dig a small artificial lake in Yuen Long to store water in summer. Hong Kong is actually not short of water, but we just can’t retain it. We can just dig a lake. ”
Although the land price in Sha Tin is now higher, if you can’t get a large area, you might as well get a large piece of land in Yuen Long;
Historically, Yuen Long was proposed to be developed by the Hong Kong government in the 1970s, but the results were not very good in the short term. Later, when Hong Kong's population increased in the 1980s, capital from all parties also entered the area, eventually forming a town with a medium economy.
In the 18th district of Hong Kong, Changxing Group has already focused on investing in 6 districts. It makes little sense to continue investing in these 6 districts. Unless there is a supply chain demand, otherwise, it is better to invest in other districts. This will not only be convenient for itself, but also drive various industries. development of the town.
Zheng Zhijie said: "The place in Yuen Long has no economic value. If we go to raise cattle, the Hong Kong government should approve it, but the land will definitely be agricultural land."
"It doesn't matter. We'll take the land first. It doesn't matter what attributes it is." Yang Wendong said nonchalantly.
If you have ownership first, then no matter what the attributes of the land are, you will not be able to escape in the future. Nowadays, a lot of land under his ownership is industrial, public land, agricultural, etc. In the short term, you can only do your own thing;
< br>
But in the future, with the development of the economy, industries will be relocated to the mainland or other places, and then converted into commercial land. Even if you follow the rules and make up the difference when the land price is low, and wait for the housing prices to skyrocket in a few years, you will still make a lot of profits. .
"Yang Sheng, Zhou Sheng." Wu Zhande said hesitantly: "Our Maxim's Group does not have the financial resources to acquire such a large land, and subsequent cattle raising will also be a very high investment, and milk distribution will also require recruiting many people. ”
In front of a group of big guys, he, the founder of Maxim's, felt that he had no choice but to say nothing, but there was nothing he could do about it. Changxing Group's current status in Hong Kong was completely different from Maxim's. Yang Wendong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you just need to do business. I will let Changxing Real Estate buy the land. As for the cost of raising cattle, I can inject capital or lend you a sum of money. You decide how to choose;
The cost of the delivery model is also very high. Milk International has a large number of stores, but you can put it directly at Carrefour, and then use Carrefour as the center to deliver directly to nearby areas. This saves a lot of costs. Carrefour itself also has delivery personnel and operates together. If so, the cost will be much lower. ”
After hearing this, Wu Zhande thought for a moment and said: "Yang Sheng's method is indeed good. If the cost can be reduced, there is a good chance."
The biggest cost of delivering milk is the need for enough stations and the labor cost of delivering milk to the surrounding people with these stations as the core. It took Milk International a long time to have enough stores in Hong Kong and a large number of manpower for delivery;
But if you can use Carrefour stores as transfer centers, you can save a lot of rent costs. The same goes for reusing labor. For delivery workers, you can earn more.
Yang Wendong said: "Okay, you guys can negotiate and make a plan from every aspect of raising cattle, milking, distribution, etc., calculate the cost, and do some calculations. As long as it is lower than or even similar to that of Dairy Milk International, then it can be done. ”
In fact, losing money is not important at all, as long as it can hit Dairy Milk International’s business and cause its stock price to fall;
If Real Estate still acquires Dairy Milk in a few years, he can also take the opportunity to acquire a large number of shares in the milk company. If it does not take action, he will gradually acquire enough milk shares. When Sir Zhou Xinian really retires, he can also gradually take over Dairy Milk International. .
Zhou Haoran and Fang both said: "Yes, Yang Sheng."
The time will soon come to December 12th;
Naturally, there is no Double Twelve in this era, but today is the day when the Far East Exchange was established;
Li Fushu also invited many political and business celebrities to the platform, and Yang Wendong was also invited;
"Li Sheng, congratulations." Yang Wendong said with a smile: "The birth of the first Chinese exchange today will definitely be a big event that can be recorded in the history of Hong Kong."
Regarding the business history of Hong Kong in the previous life, a lot of it was about mergers and acquisitions, business wars, and finance, and the foundation of these is actually the exchange. Without the exchange, companies cannot be listed. Even if the acquirer has great financial resources, it will not be able to launch a hostile merger;< br>
Li Fushu smiled and said: "Haha, I hope so. I don't seek wealth, just fame."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
When a person has no money, his only pursuit should be to make more money;
And when he has wealth and freedom, he can have many pursuits.
"There will be." Yang Wendong looked around and said: "Li Sheng, no ghost guy is coming. It seems that the British are also very unhappy about this."
"Haha, times have changed. These idiots thought it was decades ago." Li Fushu said with a smile: "If the Hong Kong Stock Exchange had not allowed Chinese companies to list in the past few years, then I would not have such an opportunity today. ”
"Their own actions have also brought themselves a big competitor." Yang Wendong nodded and said;
History always repeats itself. In the history of human business, the reason why many new companies defeated large companies was because large companies did nothing after monopolizing their monopoly, and then gave others new market opportunities;
For example, in the chip industry in the previous life, Bill Gates once said that dumping was the strongest conspiracy in business. It was not just the blockade, but it was precisely because of the blockade that it gave Dongda a huge market, and the chip industry began to take off.
After a while, the Far East Exchange was officially listed. Many companies started queuing up to list at 9 o'clock. Many investors also began to wait at the door. As soon as the door opened, a bunch of people crowded in.
"I want to buy~~stocks"
The scene suddenly became lively. TVB's camera crew had already arrived at the scene and was filming. Reporters from other newspapers were also conducting random interviews, hoping to find news content that could make headlines.
On the second floor, Yang Wendong asked Fang Xianming beside him: "How many of our people are there below?"
"About one-tenth, not a lot. Our financial resources are stronger, and everyone has enough funds." Fang Xianming replied with a smile.
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Okay, just buy the stocks of real estate companies. The stock prices have been appropriately raised in the past few days. The more companies come to the market, the better it will be for us."
