Zuo Shaoqing never expected that Yu Zhidao would invite her to speak in public. She was not prepared at all. However, she could also see that Yu Zhidao was indeed a little embarrassed just now. If he continued to talk like this, what would happen today?
The drinking party will definitely be in vain. She is an extremely smart person and made up her mind in an instant.
She stood up gracefully with a smile on her face, nodding to the guests around her. She is a person who has experienced on the stage. She knows what it means to be a lady, what it means to be dignified and elegant, and she also knows how to attract the audience.
.
She walked slowly to Yu Zhidao, turned around enchantingly, and faced the guests around her, with a beautiful and gentle smile on her face. This inadvertent movement was like an appearance on the stage, making everyone excited.
His eyes lit up, and he looked at her more intently.
She reached out and pulled out a white silk handkerchief from her armpit, pressed it on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Look, what Mr. Yu just said made me sweat immediately. Look, the handkerchief is even wet.
The water has come out."
There was a burst of laughter among the guests. She understood that these two sentences had attracted everyone's attention.
She gently waved the white silk handkerchief to the guests present, and then said: "I don't know how to do business. I am no better than everyone here, they are all masters in the business field. Turn your palms down, five
With one click of your finger, it was like a rake, raking Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, and pounds into your pocket. Isn’t that right?”
At this time, there was even louder laughter among the guests. The beauty told jokes, which was really unique.
Zuo Shaoqing pointed to his chest and said: "I was just sitting in the study, reading newspapers and magazines. Oh, even if I can see it, the guests here today can
They all make a lot of money! They don’t have any friends! They make me so envious!"
The guests all laughed when they heard her talking so playfully and easily.
At this time, a man stood up among the guests. He had a thick body and a big bald head, but the eyes on his face were too small to be found. He could only see a big, thick mouth. At this time, this big mouth was opening
He opened his mouth and called to Zuo Shaoqing. Surprisingly, his voice was unusually loud and confident.
He said loudly: "Ms. Zuo, how come you are making money just seeing us? Are you trying to coax us?"
The people around him opened their mouths and laughed, then turned back to look at Zuo Shaoqing. In fact, they had the same idea in their hearts. Of course, money must be earned, but they must not be coaxed by anyone. Everyone is afraid of losing money.
Zuo Shaoqing charmingly waved the white handkerchief in his hand towards the stout gentleman, pointed at him and said: "Mr. Hu, you are not easy to cheat on. I just heard a friend say that you have three yarn mills, right?
No?"
Mr. Hu laughed loudly, "It's just a cotton mill, so what the hell. I'm not making any money!"
Zuo Shaoqing had unknowingly changed her tone of voice and her expression became slightly more steady. She said: "Mr. Hu, you have three cotton mills. I know that there are several gentlemen here today who also own cotton mills.
From a cotton mill. I wonder if any gentleman knows when did we first have a cotton mill in Hong Kong?"
The guests present were surprised by this question and looked at each other in confusion.
Zuo Shaoqing smiled and said softly: "It was in 1947 that we had the first yarn mill in Hong Kong. However, by 1949, there were already large and small yarn mills in Hong Kong, with 500 textile mills.
There are many companies employing more than 20,000 workers. By the end of last year, there were more than 3,000 yarn and textile mills in Hong Kong, employing at least 150,000 workers. Mr. Hu, you said business is difficult, why do Hong Kong’s yarn companies
Factory, why did the textile factory develop so fast?"
The short and fat Mr. Hu blinked his small eyes, looked at her with some surprise, and said in a loud voice: "Maybe it's because someone else's business is better than mine. That's not sure. Isn't it, everyone?"
Zuo Shaoqing slowly stretched out a finger and said, "Gentlemen, as far as I know, by 1949, there were less than 10,000 yarn spindles in Hong Kong. But by the end of last year, there were more than 200,000 yarn spindles in Hong Kong.
Zhi. Mr. Hu, each of your three yarn mills has 5,000 spindles. You are a big boss in the textile industry in Hong Kong!"
The guests around all laughed. Mr. Hu also laughed a little sheepishly.
Zuo Shaoqing continued: "Mr. Hu, I would like to congratulate you, and also congratulate all the bosses here who also own yarn mills. You have really chosen the right industry. In the next ten or eight years, Hong Kong's yarn mills and textiles
The factory still needs to develop greatly. All the bosses can still make money."
When she said this, the owners of several yarn mills all widened their eyes.
Someone asked: "Ms. Zuo, is what you said true?"
Zuo Shaoqing said: "Of course it is true. You can take a look. China, the northern continent, has a population of more than 500 million, and so many people need to wear clothes. Here in South Asia, we have just gone through political turmoil, and textiles are
The industry cannot develop for a while. Therefore, all you gentlemen who open yarn and textile factories can still make a lot of money."
Mr. Hu had already walked to Zuo Shaoqing and asked: "I don't understand, why do you say the next ten or eight years? Is it possible that the northern continent, with a population of 500 million, will not wear clothes in ten or eight years?
Yet?"
Zuo Shaoqing understood that the situation at this cocktail party had gone on the track she had set.
So, she smiled and said: "Of course you still have to wear clothes. However, by then, the situation may be a little different. I recently read a few newspapers from mainland China and would like to share some news with you. 19
In 1953, the year before last, the mainland government began to implement the "First Five-Year Plan". You may have heard of it. One of them was to invest 176 million yuan in Zhengzhou to build five large-scale textile factories.
In three years, the construction of Zhengzhou National Cotton Factory No. 1 began. In 1954, the construction of Zhengzhou National Cotton Factory No. 3 began. The newspaper said that these five large-scale cotton mills were built at a rate of one per year. Isn’t it so fast?
ah?"
Not only Mr. Hu, but also the other guests looked at her attentively. This situation really surprised them, and there seemed to be something bad behind this news.
Zuo Shaoqing smiled slightly and added: "Let me tell you one more piece of news. Everyone must know that most of the cotton mills in Hong Kong were relocated from Shanghai. As a result, after 1949, there were hundreds of mills in Shanghai
Thousands of cotton mill workers have lost their jobs. But, did you know? In the past two or three years, the mainland government has intermittently transferred more than 600,000 cotton mill workers from Shanghai to major cities across the country, such as Qingdao.
, Shijiazhuang, Xi'an and other cities. Why? Because these cities have built new large-scale spinning mills, and workers from Shanghai spinning mills are needed to serve as technical backbones. If you do the math, if each spinning mill sends 200 Shanghainese
Workers, how many new cotton mills will be built across the country?"
The guests present all looked at Zuo Shaoqing with their mouths open, stunned by the number she said.
Zuo Shaoqing continued: "I also saw a piece of news recently, also from a mainland newspaper. Recently, cotton mills in the mainland are promoting the 'Hao Jianxiu Textile Method'. I believe that the owners of cotton mills must have heard this name.
.The newspaper said that there were more than 600 large-scale yarn mills in the first batch of implementing the 'Hao Jianxiu Textile Method'. Listen, the first batch was 600! Secondly, the yarn mills in the mainland are implementing this advanced method.
Regarding the Textile Law, what about our cotton mills in Hong Kong? Let me say something that will make you unhappy, Hong Kong may be falling behind."
At this time, Fuhua Hall was very quiet. Everyone was thinking about this issue.
Zuo Shaoqing's next few words were as soft as a heavy hammer, "Ten or eight years from now, mainland yarn mills and textile mills will have a huge output. Hong Kong's yarn mills and textile mills will not only lose
The market in the northern continent and even in South Asia will also be lost. Mr. Hu, what will happen to your three yarn mills in ten or eight years?"
Although Mr. Hu's little eyes were not big, they were round and wide, and he asked numbly: "Then, what do you think we should do?"
Zuo Shaoqing nodded to him, "Mr. Hu, and all gentlemen, so I think Mr. Feng and Boss Yu are quite far-sighted. They will invest in the shipping industry from now on. Although I have not studied it deeply, I have
A relatively clear judgment." At this point, she raised her hands high and made a gesture, "Hong Kong in the future will have two big horns that dominate the sky. One is finance, and the other is shipping. Finance.
In terms of shipping, you must all know that hot money is surging in the market, and everyone is looking for a way out. As for shipping, you will know it if you think about it. Hong Kong, a place with its back on the mainland and facing the sea, is at the intersection between the north and the south, the east and the west.
We are uniquely blessed at an intersection! Mr. Hu, as well as all the gentlemen here, you should make preparations now."
At this time, Yu Zhidao, who was standing by the wall, was already smiling. He patted Feng Dun next to him, waved his fist hard, and whispered: "Mr. Feng, listen, how good she is! She is
That’s not a good idea!”
Feng Dun was also deeply surprised. This woman surprised him so much that she even admired her!
Mr. Hu, who had been standing next to Zuo Shaoqing, stared at Zuo Shaoqing in shock with his round eyes.
He finally murmured: "Ms. Zuo, can you really make money by investing in shipping?"
Zuo Shaoqing looked at him with a smile on her face. Whether she could make money by investing in shipping was not something she could guarantee. But she had to answer this question. Isn't this the purpose of this reception?
Her heart moved, and a flowery smile immediately appeared on her face. Qi from her Dantian was slightly raised in her belly, and slowly moved to the tip of her tongue. She casually said three words, but they were the words spoken on the Peking Opera stage: "It's true - earth - ah
