Chapter 929: Temperament and foundation have not caught up yet
Zheng Yongwen occasionally visits the mainland and feels that things have changed a lot.
From his perspective as the CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the rapid economic development in the north is undoubtedly a huge benefit to the Hong Kong city.
For example, in the tourism industry, the wealthier mainland residents are, the more tourists will go to Hong Kong cities for shopping and shopping, which not only drives the consumer industry, but also directly or indirectly creates many jobs.
In addition, there are trade and finance industries. As the two pillars of the port city's economy, they mainly serve as a bridge and are responsible for communicating between the mainland and the international market.
In Hong Kong, the market size is small and there is a lack of manufacturing industry, so the transformation from reality to virtuality has been completed long ago.
Last year, the tertiary industry accounted for nearly 90%, manufacturing only accounted for about 1% of GDP, and the four pillar industries of trade and logistics, finance, professional services and tourism accounted for 60% of total GDP.
In the past, it was necessary to serve as a window for foreign trade. In fact, as the mainland joined the World Trade Organization, a large number of private companies emerged, and after the completion of the construction of many technical facilities, the advantages of the port city have quickly disappeared.
The situation has actually changed a long time ago, but many residents of the port city don't seem to realize this.
Zheng Yongwen specializes in finance and economics, and his perspective on problems is naturally different from ordinary people.
The north has just begun to improve, and the number of middle-class people with an annual income of more than 5,000 US dollars has exceeded 60 million.
"Perhaps this is luck. At that time, the Asian economy was in a slump, and there were not many good investment channels. I felt that the mainland's economic growth was very good, so my dad went over to test the waters. Who knew that more and more investments would be made later? If the same
The funds are placed in Hong Kong City, and I am thankful that I can make double the profit now."
In this regard, I can only say that the business scale is indeed large, and I have the strength to jump out of the chessboard to a certain extent and choose to be a chess player as a businessman.
After being in a daze for a while, Zheng Yongwen suddenly asked Su Yehao:
"You have experts who specialize in the mainland market and have helped your family plan it carefully, right? Otherwise, how could you have such a vicious vision and come to the mainland early to lay out the layout? I suddenly discovered that the scale of your family's business in the mainland is simply too big.
It’s an exaggeration. Sihai International Group’s 100-shopping mall plan, your mother’s pharmaceutical chain, even your girlfriend’s entertainment company and movie theater chain all have great potential.”
If we define the hierarchy of businessmen, Su Yehao is undoubtedly one of the few people who stand at the top. Therefore, compared to Buck Tooth Jun and He Shaofan, he is more willing to communicate with Zheng Yongwen. After all, his way of looking at problems is basically
Much the same.
At this moment.
"Well, Hong Kong City may be said to be a developed area, but in fact, the pressure of life is huge, and there is a mismatch between the quality of life and the economy, especially when it comes to housing."
At first glance, I saw a certain thirty or forty-story high-rise building with a glass curtain wall on the outside. I thought it was quite beautiful.
It's just that the per capita income of this part of the middle class is averaged out by the huge population, making it seem less impressive and quite deceptive.
"That's true. The golden age of entrepreneurship in Hong Kong has long passed. It is a place where miracles are difficult to happen. The cake is only so big. With so many wealthy families, you share a bit and I share a bit. In the end, there are only leftovers. If we don't import it from the mainland
With the introduction of new blood, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange may only be able to do this, and it will be difficult to have much room for improvement."
Anyway, modern society has a clear division of labor. When you really encounter a problem, you can just scold the person responsible for the relevant work. For some troublesome things that are beyond your reach, it is useless to think so much. In the end, you will most likely only find trouble.
This explains why, despite SARS last year, there were still more than eight million mainland tourists visiting Hong Kong. Indeed, a large number of people have really begun to become wealthy.
The game involved may be worth trillions of dollars in the future.
In his opinion, this number is a bit alarming.
Su Yehao once again came up with the excuse of snake oil and said perfunctorily:
With the support of HKU business administration and economics students, only a few hundred copies were sold in the end. In his own words, it was a waste of time.
After the Southeast Asian financial crisis, he also published books analyzing related issues.
Su Yehao thought deeply and replied:
"Many old people may not be able to adapt to the new rhythm. There is a huge generation gap between different age groups. This is an interesting idea that can be used in many fields, such as the advertising industry. Some advertisements are said to be targeted at more than a billion people, but in fact they only
To arouse the interest of some people, it must be targeted. The same is true for the Internet. I always felt that tens of millions of Internet users were a bit small. Maybe the potential user group is not as large as imagined, and some people have poor ability to accept new things."
Taking a closer look, it turned out that it was an office building owned by Sihai International. The number of projects his family invested in was exaggerated, so it was normal for him not to recognize it.
Su Yehao was also looking at the street scene on the roadside.
Su Yehao used to be able to turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window, but now he has to consider some economic development strategic issues.
But when it comes to eating, drinking, chatting and gossiping, it is undoubtedly the group of bad friends who are more suitable.
At this level, even ordinary billionaires can only look up to us, let alone multi-millionaires who do not have the strength to participate.
Zheng Yongwen has done some research on macroeconomics.
The newly paved asphalt road had just been sprinkled with water not long ago. Su Yehao said with emotion:
"Pengcheng is like a demolished household. It has become economically prosperous in a short period of time, but its temperament and heritage are still a little behind. In the stage of brutal expansion, many problems will inevitably arise. Overall, the flaws are not concealed. Many people in Hong Kong City
I haven’t corrected my mentality. In fact, compared to staying in Hong Kong City and struggling, coming to Peng City is full of opportunities. Even if you just buy an apartment, you can become a winner in life."
Zheng Yongwen joked and added:
"The mainland has changed so much. People of different age groups should feel like they are in different worlds. The elderly have experienced famine and poverty, and they have been penniless. The middle-aged people have encountered the wave of reform and are more open-minded than the elderly in their ideas. Today's
When young people grow up, things will become different."
Most ordinary people only care about the current situation of life and have no interest in why problems occur.
"...Don't forget that I'm not young anymore. Your words are a bit insinuation. I, a middle-aged man, have never played online shopping or online games, and I haven't been able to arouse much interest in them."
Zheng Yongwen doesn't want to admit that he is getting older, but the world has indeed changed dramatically.
There is a company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that sells stamps and postcards. A few years ago, it had a market capitalization of 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars. In recent years, its performance has been declining continuously. The business of traditional newspapers and advertising agencies is also difficult to do.
The impact of the information age on traditional life has been quite obvious...
