Everyone thought that Qi Xiaming would give some constructive suggestions, but the result was that they were asked to leave Hong Kong and go out to work outside, so that the entire Hong Kong market could be handed over to the Hong Kong Housing Company.
"Aren't you still awake, thinking about these sweet dreams?" The grumpy man immediately slapped the table and cursed.
"Mr. Qi, what you are doing is unethical. We are still eating from the same pot after all. You are not letting everyone eat and you want to occupy the whole pot." Another boss also teased.
The speeches of these two people can be said to speak to the hearts of everyone. In their hearts, the Hong Kong Housing Corporation is using this excuse to let everyone go out, so that they can take up all the market left by them.
Seeing that no one believed what he said, Qi Xiaming sighed and said with a sincere face: "You have misunderstood me. Since I gave this suggestion, it must be reasonable. Let me explain it to you."
Hearing what Qi Xia Ming said, the noisy voice just now became quiet instantly. They really wanted to hear the reason why Qi Xia Ming said that just now.
In fact, this is not the main reason. The main reason is that they also know that there is not much space left for them in Hong Kong real estate. If they really just stay in Hong Kong, they will have no room to go further and can only hang here half-dead. .
So they need to find a way out, but most of them originally wanted to develop in Southeast Asia, because they still have some connections in Southeast Asia, and in the real estate market, connections are a very important thing, which can reduce a lot of trouble for them. .
Compared to Southeast Asia, Japan is much stranger to them.
First, they have few connections in Japan, so it is difficult to find an entry point, and they are not familiar with the market there.
Second, Japan has abundant capital. In their eyes, if they enter the Japanese market, they will definitely not be able to defeat those local snakes.
Based on the above considerations, Hong Kong real estate developers have not considered the Japanese market at all. Of course, many people have turned their attention to the mainland, especially Shenzhen, which is across the river from Hong Kong, and has attracted some people's attention.
It's just that the behavior of the Hong Kong Housing Company this time made them doubt their previous judgment.
In their view, the Hong Kong Housing Corporation must be exercising the will of the Mainland, so the large-scale construction of public rental housing by the Hong Kong Housing Corporation in Hong Kong also reflects the attitude of the Mainland.
If this is really the attitude of the mainland, then in other words, people like myself have no chance to enter the mainland real estate market. Even if they do, they will be overwhelmed by large-scale public rental housing, and there will be no profit.
In the past, some Hong Kong businessmen built real estate in the mainland, but they were all commercial real estate and had not yet been involved in housing development. Moreover, the current development of commercial housing is not very good. Most of them are divided into units and there is not enough market support.
"Japan's economy has developed rapidly since the 1970s, and now its per capita GDP has reached more than 10,000 US dollars. I think everyone here has no objection to this." Qi Xiaming said.
After hearing Qi Xiaming's words, everyone present nodded. They could not deny this. Japan is now the most developed country in Asia and can be said to be the economic leader in Asia.
"Let's talk about Japan's economic structure. Japan's economy has developed rapidly because Japan's industry has developed rapidly.
This means that Japanese people can fully enjoy the dividends from Japan's rapid economic development, which also means that Japanese people's wallets are bulging. "Qi Xiaming continued.
Industrial development can benefit the people the most, because industrial development must require a large amount of manpower to participate. With the upgrading of Japan's industrialization, high-tech fields continue to emerge, allowing Japanese workers to generally receive good remuneration.
The Japanese industry did not simply take over the transfer of the hawk sauce industry, but went ahead and wiped out the hawk sauce-related industries. This is where Japan excels.
In the 1970s, Japanese home appliances had just begun to develop, and the Hingjiang home appliance industry was still very powerful. However, in just a few years, Japan was unable to continue operating. Then Hingjiang cheated and made Japan sign an unequal agreement.
The strange thing is that Japan actually recognized it, so Japan started to find a way out, and finally found the direction of the car, and everyone knows the result.
In the early 1980s, Japan's automobile industry was exhausted, and Yingjiang began to make Japan sign unequal agreements to restrict the development of Japanese automobiles.
Of course, in this life, due to the emergence of Shenlong Automobile Company, Japanese automobile companies are no longer as arrogant as in the previous life, but it also makes Yingjiang Automobile Company difficult, because the positioning of Japanese automobile companies and Yingjiang Automobile Company are highly overlapped.
Due to its advanced technology and world-leading energy conservation and environmental protection, Shenlong Automobile Company is unique in the field of high-end automobiles and has forced Yingjiang luxury cars to downgrade.
There is no way, within the same grade, it can no longer compete with Shenlong Automobile Company.
After downgrading like this, they were knocked down by Japanese car companies. Although Yingjiang cars are large, strong, and safe, they are almost useless compared with Japan's economy, comfort, and cheapness.
Especially the lower the end, the less competitive it is with Japanese cars.
It stands to reason that Yingjiang should first target Shenlong Automobile Company. After all, Shenlong Automobile Company has taken away their high-end market and reduced their profits by a large amount. They did so, that is, they raised automobile tariffs. .
But this is not just for Shenlong Motors, but for automobile companies in other countries around the world. Tariffs have also been increased on cars from West Germany and Japan.
The current situation is that in order to win the Cold War, Yingjiang needs China even more. Especially in recent years, China's rapid economic development has become the benefit of Yingjiang's propaganda and hope for cooperation in the free world, and it cannot be suppressed alone.
As long as everyone is treated equally in terms of policies, Shenlong Automobile Company really has no one to fear, so the slight increase in tariffs did not cause much hindrance to Shenlong Automobile Company.
On the other hand, the Japanese companies suffered a lot. European car companies also complained, but they were better than Japan.
The countermeasures of Japanese automobile companies have been mentioned in the previous chapter, which is to build production plants in Yingjiang and cooperate with local companies in Yingjiang to produce Japanese cars, thus bypassing tariff restrictions.
In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Japan's economy is developing rapidly, and it is also a fact that the income of Japanese people has increased significantly. Everyone here also agrees on this.
“This shows that Japanese people must have a great demand for improvement of their living environment. In particular, urbanization comes with industrialization, which means more houses need to be built.
Everyone, this is your chance. "Qi Xiaming said with an expression that looked out for you.
Although everyone here agrees with Qi Xiaming's logic, they are not stupid either.
Since what he said is so good, why doesn't the Hong Kong Housing Company expand its business to Japan? Everyone knows that the Hong Kong Housing Company is not a bad money winner.
"Since Japan's prospects have been analyzed so well by Mr. Qi, why doesn't the Hong Kong Housing Company expand its business to Japan?"
Hearing this, Qi Xiaming looked helpless and said: "Everyone here should be aware of the situation of the Hong Kong Housing Company. It has not been established for a long time, and it has just experienced a war, which consumes a lot of funds.
Moreover, the upcoming new city development will also require a lot of money and energy, and it is really unable to develop new markets. "
Although what Qi Xiaming said was true, it could not dispel everyone's concerns. In fact, they entered an unfamiliar market and did not have much confidence.
And their capital is generally not high, especially after HSBC tightened its restrictions on real estate loans.
With such a small amount of capital entering the Japanese market, they would be unable to bear large-scale losses. This is why in the past life, even though the Japanese real estate market hit record highs, their capital was still nestled in the small pond of Hong Kong.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Qi Xiaming also knew that if they couldn't come up with something practical, these people would definitely not be "fooled".
“It seems like you still don’t believe me, or else.
It is true that we cannot allocate our energy to take care of the Japanese market, but we still have some funds on hand. We are willing to provide some funds, whether as loans or shares, so as to give you a free ride into the Japanese market. "Qi Xiaming said.
Hearing Qi Xiaming's words, most of the people's precautions were immediately gone. The Hong Kong Housing Company invested real money. If they were really deceived, the loss would be too heavy. After all, no one's money is worth the wind. Scraped.
In fact, the Hong Kong Housing Company no longer had much capital. It spent more than 150 billion U.S. dollars just to purchase land in Hong Kong, which consumed 778% of the cash in the hands of Sunflower Investment Company at that time.
It's just that more than four months have passed, and the investment company has accumulated another sum of money. Together with the loan from HSBC, it should be able to support the Hong Kong Housing Company's new town development and investment and other real estate developers to enter the Japanese market.
"Of course we believe Mr. Qi's words. We are also aware of the difficulties of Hong Kong Housing Corporation. We just don't know what Mr. Qi's regulations are for borrowing and investing in shares."
He looked distrustful just now, but when he heard that the Hong Kong housing company was willing to invest real money, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and his attitude changed faster than flipping through a book.
"As you all know, our funds are actually quite tight. If we borrow money, the interest rate will definitely be higher than that of banks. After all, we are not a financial institution. We have insufficient experience in risk control, so we can only increase the interest rate to hedge risks.
When it comes to buying shares, it all depends on what you want. We don’t insist on shares. If you are willing to give us 5 points or 50 points, we won’t object. Anyway, it’s just to express an attitude.
But one thing is that when the time comes, we must give priority to ensuring our capital exit. Of course, in order not to cause difficulties to your operations, the capital period will be more than 4 years, and we will make an agreement with you about a year in advance. "
Qi Xiaming's words did not have any excessive demands, and they were reasonable. They were also commonly used in shopping malls. No one had any objections to this point.
The next thing will be easier to handle. From Qi Xiaming's attitude, some people have determined that the Japanese market has great potential, so they ask the Hong Kong Housing Company to take less or no shares and just borrow some money. Qi Xiaming does not insist on this.
Some people are still unsure, and they are preparing to let Hong Kong housing companies take large-scale shares, completely tie the Hong Kong housing companies to their own chariots, and share risks together.
For those who only have loans, if they see the Hong Kong housing company withdrawing funds, they will also withdraw. There is no risk.
As for those who have invested in shares, especially those with large shares, if the Hong Kong Housing Company withdraws its shares, they will definitely be greatly affected, and they may even have to evacuate as well.
As for who among them will gain and who loses in the end, it's really hard to say. After all, things always have ups and downs, and it all depends on everyone's luck and vision. (End of chapter)
