The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 486 Arowana Edible Oil
"It seems that we have to buy more houses." Qin Zhihao said with a smile.

"Of course, but according to Hong Kong banking laws, you senior executives cannot get loans from Hisense. You can find other banks yourself. I estimate that the real estate market will recover in a short time." Chen Zhiwen said.If this kind of thing was a year ago, he still wouldn't have said it, but now it basically doesn't matter, because in Hong Kong, people who really dare to take a gamble have begun to enter the real estate market, but this number Just like the people who evacuated urgently before the real estate crisis, they accounted for a very small proportion of the entire population of Hong Kong. Therefore, the impact on the entire real estate market was not great. Just like the people who evacuated before, it would not cause housing prices to fall. Only when all the people evacuated When people react, housing prices will fall or rise significantly.

Human nature is that those who can rationally give up to earn the last penny are always in the minority.

"That's no problem. We'll take care of the bank's affairs ourselves." Lei Shenglixiao said. With their annual salary of tens of millions and their status, they are the best customers in the eyes of any bank, even no better than some medium-sized companies. Difference.

"The residential properties or office properties next to the subway stations owned by Hang Lung Properties will not be low in value in the future. If you want to invest, you can buy them directly. It just so happens that Hang Lung is still short of funds and the price is probably cheap. Please inform the company internally. Other middle and high-level people can go and have a look." Chen Zhiwen added.

Although he has acquired 7 office buildings, this super project involves a very large property area, especially residential buildings, with more than 1 units. His Land and Hutchison Whampoa are not planning to enter the residential market on a large scale, because this is different from office buildings. Shops are different. This is a people's livelihood project. Too much large capital will lead to a sharp increase in the living costs of ordinary people. There are too many ways to make money. There is no need for him to touch this. Even the Hong Kong government will auction residential land. Usually, developers are required not to hoard residential buildings. Although there are ways to get around this, it will always be much better if there are restrictions.

Although the top management of Midea, Red Bull, and Hutchison Whampoa are somewhat wealthy, they are still far behind the big real estate consortiums. They are still ordinary investors, and they may not be able to buy many houses in total, or even a lot. I live there myself, so the impact is not big.

"Okay, thank you Chen Sheng." Lei Shengli said.

"Or you can also go to Japan, where the rate of return may be higher than that of Hong Kong." Chen Zhiwen said again, looking at the next five years alone, the income of Japanese real estate will definitely be better than that of Hong Kong, but it will not be possible in 5. If only If you want to make a fortune in the short term, it is cost-effective to go to Japan. If you want to invest in the long term, you should naturally choose Hong Kong.

"It's too troublesome for our personal transactions in Japan, so we should do it in Hong Kong." Lei Shengli thought for a while and said. He also knew that Hutchison Whampoa invested a lot of money in Japan, but that was the investment of the entire group, and it was not related to the investment of the entire group. They are different individually. It’s not impossible to go there individually, but it’s just a bit troublesome, so it’s better to stay in Hong Kong.

"It's up to you. The income here in Hong Kong is also very high." Chen Zhiwen nodded. The few people following him and the earliest employees who joined the company have high net worths ranging from hundreds of millions to tens of millions. In Hong Kong It can be said to be the strongest group of migrant workers.

However, no matter how high the salary is, it is still not as good as taking advantage of real estate opportunities to develop. Even if it is just the simplest purchase and hold, the income will be unimaginably high when Hong Kong housing prices will increase tenfold in the future.Even if the company is listed in the future and shares are given to some senior executives, it may not be comparable to the huge profits brought by the real estate market.

Taking advantage of market opportunities to provide benefits to his employees is what Chen Zhiwen has been doing. In 75, he encouraged the earliest employees to buy houses. Those who listened to him now can still survive even if their jobs are gone. It's very nourishing. After all, even if housing prices have halved in the past two years, the halving was compared to the time when housing prices were the highest in early 82. In fact, the current housing prices are similar to those in mid-80, which is about 75-2 times that of 3. .

Even in the next 98, housing prices plummeted, falling by 03% in 60, but in fact the comparison was with the highest price in 97.Only the last batch of leeks that enter the market are the most painful.

"Sheng Chen, in addition to the daily report, there is another thing that came over today. The Arowana factory has started construction in Shenhai City. The first batch of cooking oil has been delivered to many supermarkets in Shenhai City. So far, it is still very popular. Welcome." Qin Zhihao continued.

They came here originally for the daily company report once a month, but later they talked about the production capacity transfer issue and real estate investment. When it was almost done, it was the turn of the Arowana that they had originally planned to talk about.

"Oh, it's quite fast." Chen Zhiwen recalled quickly in his mind.

In Yanjing last year, he accidentally discovered that many mainlanders still use wooden barrels to buy oil and go to the grain and oil store to get the oil themselves. This naturally reminded him of the model of selling edible oil in supermarkets in later generations. Oil, apart from state-owned enterprises such as COFCO, the most famous one is Arowana. At this time, Arowana had not yet appeared, so Chen Zhiwen was the first to get it because the name itself is not bad and is more down-to-earth.

Later, it was arranged for Red Bull to acquire a local grain and oil company in Hong Kong. This was a trivial matter. With Red Bull’s capital, it could be easily done once the money was in place. In this world, few people would really try their best to hold on to the industry without doing anything to change it. Only those cutting-edge entrepreneurs are impressed by the large amount of money.

The grain market in Hong Kong has nothing to do and the market is not big. After acquiring the local brand, it immediately changed its name to Arowana. It is a first-tier subsidiary of Red Bull and has the same status as Master Kong and Very Coca-Cola. Then it went to Deep Sea. City builds factory.

"Half a year is enough. We pay in foreign exchange. The construction team in Shenhai City is working day and night. The equipment is also imported from Japan. The time on both sides is calculated well." Qin Zhihao said with a smile.

Although Arowana Company is still very small now, judging from the attention of the boss, it is very likely to become a giant company in the future. Not to mention the domestic market, the powerful retail channels controlled by Galaxy Trading are enough. Although Europe and the United States I prefer olive oil, but the consumption of normal corn and soybean oil is not low.

"Well, I'm going to go to the mainland. I was planning to go to the deep sea first. It's just in time to see how good the packaging of this new edible oil is." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Now that the land has been obtained, and apart from some details of the Huaying negotiations, the overall situation has basically been decided. At the same time, the country opened 5 more port cities in May, and its foreign policy has been very obvious. His funds have also You can invest domestically based on some planning needs.However, it is not large-scale infrastructure construction, but involves many manufacturing industries. Currently, due to overheating economic development and excessive debt, many large-scale projects in the Mainland have been stopped. It is not the time to invest in infrastructure construction. It just so happens that now is also the time to invest in Japanese real estate. At the best time for the stock market, he couldn't wait until the Plaza Accord was signed before investing heavily. That would be a bit too late.

"Okay. I haven't been to Shenhai City for a long time." Qin Zhihao said with a smile.

A week later, several Mercedes-Benz cars departed from Luohu Port and headed for Shenhai City.

With the rapid economic development of Shenhai City, roads have also improved a lot. After all, the main target of attracting foreign investment in Shenhai City is Hong Kong investment. Wherever roads are not built, this road must be built and repaired.

"The development of Shenhai City is really fast. I saw at least 20 communities under construction along the way." In the car, Chen Zhiwen looked at the various communities under construction outside and counted them, but they were not those in Hong Kong. When building high-rise buildings, they usually only have five or six floors. In the mainland, land is so cheap at present that it is not cost-effective to build a high-rise building, especially since it requires an elevator. This is completely unnecessary. It is better to buy more land and build a few shorter buildings.

"These are basically sold to Hong Kong." Zhou Jiayang, who was accompanying him, explained: "In the 80s, Hong Kong real estate developers came to Shenhai City to build houses. The local government cooperated with them, and the share ratio depended on the situation. , and then build the houses and sell them to Hong Kong people. Many Hong Kong people are unable to bring their relatives from the mainland to Hong Kong, so it is a good choice to place them in Shenhai City. It is convenient to meet in this way, and Shenhai City also provides household registration, which is a win-win situation. .

Even if Hong Kong's real estate crisis broke out later, it would not have much impact on Shenhai City. The housing prices here are only one-tenth of those in Hong Kong. Many Hong Kong people even settle here. They go to Hong Kong to work on weekdays and come back after resting. "

As a top player in Hong Kong's real estate industry, Hutchison Whampoa is naturally aware of the operations of Shenhai City, but because the market is not large, it basically does not participate.

"That's not bad." Chen Zhiwen smiled. He actually doesn't like to participate in the housing market. Except for the early days when he needed to accumulate capital through real estate speculation, if it can bring convenient housing to everyone, it will actually benefit the people. These residential buildings in Shenhai City allow many Hong Kong people to own larger houses, allow their relatives to live near them, and also bring development funds and foreign exchange to Shenhai City, killing three birds with one stone.

Soon, the car arrived at the door of RT-Mart No. 4 in Shenhai City. It was said to be No. [-] because there are currently [-] RT-Mart supermarkets in Shenhai City. Currently, foreign investment is not allowed to participate in the retail industry in Shenhai City. We are at the forefront of reform and everything is open to discussion.

The group did not notify RT-Mart about this branch, and even Watsons' senior executives in Hong Kong did not know about it.

The internal structure of RT-Mart is that the first floor is the parking lot, and the second floor is the shopping area. This is Chen Zhiwen's request, and it is also for convenience after the economy takes off in the future. However, of course there are not many cars at present, so they have been renovated. Many shops have been built and given to local entrepreneurs with courage.

Several people came to the second floor. It was 9 o'clock in the morning. Many people were also buying vegetables. When they came to the place where cooking oil was sold, Chen Zhiwen saw several women in their 40s carrying golden arowanas packaged in different styles. cooking oil.

"Sir, do you want to buy oil?" A salesperson came over and asked. Although the people who buy oil are usually housewives, there is no guarantee that male customers will not buy some.

"Let's just take a look." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "Is the only Arowana oil sold here?"

"Yes, there used to be some oil imported from Hong Kong, but the price was relatively expensive. This Arowana is actually from Hong Kong, but they built a factory in Shenhai City, and the price dropped by half at once, which is only more expensive than oil produced outside. It's a little more expensive, and look at this packaging, it's much more convenient to use in the kitchen than glass bottles or oil bags." The salesperson took a 1L bottle of cooking oil from the shelf and handed it to Chen Zhiwen.

"It's more convenient." Chen Zhiwen took it and asked, "How much can this oil be sold in a day?"

"This has just been launched. It can sell more than 1000 bottles a day. There are big and small bottles. The warehouse often runs out of stock in the afternoon. Sir, do you want to buy a bottle too? You can try this trial bottle first. , the small bottle only costs 2 yuan." the salesperson said.

"Okay, I'll go back and give it a try." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile and asked questions for a while. If he didn't buy it, he would be sorry for his service.Anyway, it's all my own.

"Okay, here you go." The salesperson handed Chen Zhiwen another small 500ml oil bottle.

Afterwards, Chen Zhiwen also visited RT-Mart Supermarket, bought some small things, and also paid attention to the sales of Arowana. Obviously, many people were attracted, and many people bought directly.
