Chapter 634 The new era begins: "China-American Joint Announcement"
The supermarket industry is the future of future retail, and the possibility of this industry being suppressed by ZZ is not high. Unless it is really achieved at a very high level in a certain overseas region, it is almost impossible. In the original history, local retail brands in many European, American, and Asian countries all wanted to expand their territory abroad after they grew, but almost without exception, all failed;
Therefore, the core of Carrefour is Asia, and even Southeast Asia, Yang Wendong is not sure that he can be the first. It is enough to have a certain market. The mainland in the future will be the core and foundation of Carrefour supermarket.
Other overseas markets are mainly invested, especially Walmart. The investment of this company gave Yang Wendong a generous return, and Changxing Trading Company also cooperated with him. With the cheap light industrial products from Hong Kong and the future mainland, it will inevitably become a global trading company and easily defeat the traditional British-funded Hong Kong companies;
In Europe, Yang Wendong also invested in many future giants in the early stage. Unlike Walmart, Yang Wendong basically does not interfere with them. As time goes by, these companies have gradually risen one by one as they were in history. After all, Yang Wendong's butterfly effect in Asia cannot affect Europe.
Of course, Carrefour also acquired a local supermarket in the UK as a bridgehead for entering Europe and the Commonwealth, but Yang Wendong's purpose was to be able to continue to operate it smoothly, and he did not expect this local supermarket to become one of the giants in Europe in the future.
Although it has not participated in the operation of these companies, Changxing Trading Company also cooperates with them, but its current scale is not very large.
Zhou Haoran nodded and said, "Okay, I will contact them."
"Where is the beverage industry? Can you try to develop in Europe?" Yang Wendong asked again.
Due to the particular weight ratio of the beverage industry, even Coca-Cola, which has extremely low profit margins, has to be produced near any market in the era of globalization decades later.
Zhou Haoran said: "In terms of beverages, our ginger beverage has been tried in the UK. The sales volume is very poor. Coke is OK, but it is not well-known. Locals do not recognize this brand at all, unless we spend a lot of money to promote it in Europe, but this is to compete directly with Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Red Bull may be able to do it in the future, but now Red Bull's next target market is the United States, and Europe, I'm afraid it will have to wait for a few years."
"That's right, our beverage industry is still too weak." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Watsons' beverage industry can achieve a large scale in Hong Kong. The core reason is that it produces orders in the Asian region for Pepsi. This demand is naturally a large factory for a city.
Which of Watsons' own beverage industry is actually its own ginger beverage, very Coke, a few tea drinks and Red Bull in the early days, among which Red Bull has not yet been promoted mainly in the global market.
Zhou Haoran continued: 'If Red Bull can be popular in the United States, then the next market will be Europe, and then it will be able to build factories in the UK. ’
"Well, it's good that this is good. Come one by one, and you can negotiate with the British government to get the highest profit." Yang Wendong replied.
Cooperation is not a huge one-time investment. After all, the UK is not the future mainland. It is very disciplined for overseas capital investment. If a large factory is built, it will be controlled by the other party in the future.
It’s okay to take a step by step, and it’s better to observe it appropriately. Another point is that it’s impossible to invest in the UK all the time. It needs to be transferred in the 1990s, so you also need to be prepared in this regard.
Wei Zetao said: "I don't have anything to consider here. I just need to send some products with high transportation costs to the UK for production. Even if the goods such as trolley boxes are transported in containers, the single cost will be too high. In the future, the UK will be very close to markets in Europe and even some American regions, and the tariffs will be low."
The transportation cost is not only very heavy, very high, very light, and even higher. For example, a truck transports steel plates, due to the density of steel, it can only transport very low heights, and if it is not high, it will be overloaded; but if it is transported with foam with very light density, it will be even more loss, because it is not too heavy when filled;
The first reason why Changxing Shipping was established in the early days was to solve the problem of transportation cost of trolley boxes. At that time, the freighters were all used to transport trolley boxes and could lose money. Later, even if Changxing Shipping was established, it was implemented a hybrid delivery model, that is, to store high density and save space, and the rest were filled with low density and plastic boxes, which was the highest cost-effectiveness. In today's container era, shipping companies also distribute transportation according to weight, but no matter what, all of them are lighter plastic boxes in the transportation level are still relatively incurring losses. In addition, there are many plastic trolley box manufacturers around the world, and Changxing Industrial has no early advantages, so the production capacity also needs to be placed near the market like beverages.
Yang Wendong agreed: "Okay, I'll just ask everyone to come here today to discuss the matter. How to allocate and implement the specific distribution and implementation. You will agree on it internally and then hand it over to me and the headquarters.
I will also arrange people to negotiate with the UK. We also need certain preferential conditions for these high-quality investments."
Although the entire Changxing Group is not a top high-tech enterprise, its industries, except for a few industries such as papermaking and glue, are all pollution-free. This kind of industry is the best quality in any country and can be placed on the edge of big cities or even the capital, unless the labor cost is too high in the future. "Okay, Yang Sheng." The few people replied.
From February, a big event happened just like in history. US President NKS visited the mainland for the first time, and China-US relations entered a new chapter;
This incident naturally attracted the attention of global media. The improvement of the relationship between the two superpowers can be said to have determined the fate of countless millions of people. Even in this era, no one knows whether three wars will suddenly break out one day. Everyone is very worried about this issue. After all, the war is too cruel.
This is naturally even more so in Hong Kong. You should know that Hong Kong can be said to be the only bridge for the mainland to communicate overseas. The good relationship between the mainland and the United States is a very strong booster for Hong Kong's economy. The Hang Seng Index also soared, and a large amount of international funds poured into Hong Kong. The overall economy was prosperous.
However, although this visit is not a top secret, there are almost no reporters throughout the whole process. Even if there are, it is closely related to the White House. It is naturally impossible for Hong Kong to go to Yanjing for an interview. They can only follow the reports from the United States and copy them immediately.
Even Oriental Daily, Hong Kong China Daily and TVB are the same. In the face of such a big event, no capital can be taken.
But Hong Kong media has always heard all kinds of interviews and speculations in this regard, and every news newspaper will not let go of this, because now this is the most important topic in Hong Kong. Even the popularity of the novel "The Deer and the Cauldron" serialized by Jin Yong has been punctuated.

ZZ and financial personnel in Hong Kong are also using this incident to talk about their analysis of the future of Asia, Hong Kong's future economy, and zz. Every smart person is taking advantage of this opportunity to gain economic or other benefits to themselves.
As the strongest Chinese consortium in Hong Kong, Yang Wendong was also asked by some media reporters when he arrived at the station several times, but he naturally would not say anything, and the security guard easily solved this problem.
In fact, it doesn't matter to express his opinion on this matter, because after China and the United States established diplomatic relations, Japan, Britain and a large number of Western countries immediately established diplomatic relations with China, which was no risk; but there was no risk and no benefit, so he naturally didn't want to be too troublesome. No matter how he did it, it would not affect major historical events.
And many times, what is the most important thing to do is to help the domestic economy. Therefore, in many aspects, as long as they can cooperate, they will try their best to cooperate with China Resources. If they can cooperate, they will naturally favor Chinese people, whether they are from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, or mainland China.
On February 28, China and the United States issued the "China-US Joint Announcement" on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, announcing a major change in relations between the two countries to the world. Affected by this, the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index once again rose sharply.
