I am many years in the courtyard

Villa No. 78, Deep Water Bay, in the living room.

For many years, I sat on the sofa in the living room and told stories to little kids.

He had just returned to Hong Kong Island for a few days. He had been busy working in Beijing, Fenghuang Village, Xishui Village and other places.

He put a lot of effort into the boutique supermarket project and paid special attention to it.

Starting from January next year, Huimin Supermarket will launch matsutake, truffle and other products in its flagship stores in big cities around the world.

These luxury goods will be placed in the luxury goods area.

Such an area is a preview for the upcoming boutique supermarket and a test of the market.

At the same time, it is to collect more market information, so that we can have a comprehensive understanding of consumers' consumption habits and psychology, and make more accurate judgments.

In addition, some seafood products have also been consciously marketed for many years.

In this day and age, many abalones are found on Hong Kong Island or in the mainland. As one of the eight delicacies, they are naturally worth a lot of money.

But except for abalone, sea cucumber, scallops, shark's fin and other eight delicacies, the value of other seafood can only be said to be average.

Therefore, if you want to be a boutique supermarket, you will inevitably need to carry out marketing.

Such as bluefin tuna.

However, in today's era, the value is not high, or even very low.

Even at this time in Tokyo, it was still treated like cat food.

After a fishing boat catches bluefin tuna by chance in the ocean, it will pay someone to take it off the boat and dispose of it.

This is the biggest role of bluefin tuna in this era.

Of course, starting in the mid-to-late 1970s, bluefin tuna was finally put on the table.

why?

Beginning in the 1970s, Tokyo emerged from the decadence of World War II and achieved economic take-off.

To mention this, we have to mention what happened after World War II.

In fact, Tokyo after 1945 was very, very strictly managed by the Bald Eagle. Not to mention the army, even the police did not have knives.

Just batons.

One can imagine how miserable the overall social situation in Tokyo at that time was.

From an industrialized society, people returned to an agricultural society overnight.

It's so miserable!

However, the turning point came soon, and that was the Peninsula War!

After this battle started, the Bald Eagles transferred a large number of heavy equipment industries from their homeland, with the overall output value reaching 14 billion US dollars.

It is precisely because of these that life in Tokyo has become slightly easier.

In fact, the mainland back then also received a heavy equipment industry worth about US$5 billion from Moscow.

However, the mainland did not take off as quickly as Tokyo. In addition to other external reasons, it had a lot to do with my own inner foundation at the time.

As we all know, before 1949, the mainland was not an industrialized country at all, but a large agricultural country.

Therefore, in the middle of 1960, all Moscow engineers evacuated.

At that time, the mainland was forced to lay off employees.

More than 20 million workers collectively returned to the countryside.

It can be said that it is a place full of chicken feathers.

But Tokyo is different. It was an industrialized country before, so it quickly rose to prominence after accepting Bald Eagle's heavy equipment industry.

And since the early 1970s, the semiconductor industry has been booming, and so have other industries.

During this process, many Tokyo products were exported overseas, and trade with bald eagles was particularly frequent.

The transportation of many commodities requires the use of air cargo.

But most of the goods are outflows from Tokyo, and very few goods are coming in.

In other words, after the plane delivers the goods to the destination, it rarely brings anything back.

I have been familiar with the logistics industry for many years, so I know very well that such transportation will cause very heavy losses.

So in this context, many airlines in Tokyo feel that they need to make some changes.

In 1972, since some aircraft were already equipped with cold chain systems, we decided to use this system to transport some bluefin tuna back from North America to test the effect.

These bluefin tuna shipped back from North America are actually the products sold in Huimin Supermarket.

However, this thing is actually just placed in the seafood container, and the price is relatively expensive, but that's all.

Not a luxury item!

Since bluefin tuna is a perishable fish, the fact that the bald eagles transported it back to Tokyo from thousands of miles away could still keep the fish fresh, which in itself made the people of Tokyo feel magical at the time.

Another point is that people in Tokyo, which was experiencing rapid economic growth at that time, were not short of money, but in their hearts they longed to be recognized by the international community and were very fond of foreigners.

Does this scene seem familiar?

There's nothing wrong with it, it's the mainland in the original time and space history.

In fact, in this time and space, such phenomena have been discovered for many years, and there are quite a lot of them.

Even though he has worked very hard to publish articles and raise awareness.

At the same time, we promote Hanfu culture, promote China Entertainment to the world, and so on.

However, there are always some people who cannot stand up on their own and insist on kneeling down to lick those foreigners.

And he also wants to pull others to kneel with him. Only in this way will they feel happy.

For many years I didn't know what kind of psychology such people have.

Anyway, he felt that such a person should be sent to Brooklyn, New York.

As we all know, Brooklyn is one of the three most famous slums in New York.

There is only one supermarket in the entire area, no bank, almost everyone is black, and there are no other outsiders.

There are also two places, Queens and the Bronx, which together with Brooklyn are known as the three major slums in New York.

Talking back to Tokyo, in recent years, driven by both capital and public demand, bluefin tuna shipped back from Bald Eagle has been sold at high prices.

Therefore, many years as one of the capitals, as well as Tokyo airlines and other capitals, were all greatly encouraged and continued to advocate, resulting in the value of bluefin tuna doubling year by year, and the demand also expanding year by year.

But even so, it has not been easy to cut leeks for many years.

Because there are still a large number of wild bluefin tuna in the ocean today, it will take several years to reduce their numbers.

As we all know, bluefin tuna has a long growth cycle and takes eight years to mature.

Tokyo’s fishing fleet, Hong Kong Island’s ocean fishing companies, etc. have been fishing for bluefin tuna and other seafood in large quantities for many years. Therefore, if you want to cause its number to decrease sharply, it will take time to settle.

For many years, it has been believed that marketing bluefin tuna still requires certain skills and time.

To put it simply, it needs to be a bit stylish, so the boutique supermarket project must separate the bluefin tuna product for marketing.

For example, try catching some super giant bluefin tuna.

Anyway, people in Tokyo love seafood very much, and after the Plaza Accord, housing prices in Tokyo soared like a rocket.

It also means that the super reservoir of the real estate industry will become extremely large.

The house itself is just a place to live. It is several or more than ten times the actual value of the house itself. This is the value and price assigned to it by the market and the geographical location of the house.

This is understandable.

However, following the Plaza Accord, Noboru Takeshita and others in Tokyo made wrong judgments, which will cause their real estate in Tokyo to increase very quickly.

Once the price of a house in Tokyo is dozens, or even hundreds or thousands of times its original value, then Takeshita Nobu and others will definitely be very scared.

But before the price plummeted, Tokyo people were still very wealthy.

Therefore, for many years, I felt that before 1990, there was no big problem in raising the price of bluefin tuna and making it a luxury product.

After all, the people of Tokyo today are very wealthy and continue to gain a sense of international recognition.

So these are the best leeks, just cut them hard.

When the time comes, it will definitely be a good thing to take another severe cut from the stock market, property market and other places.

The entire boutique supermarket project is basically half stable with premium fruits, seafood such as abalone and bluefin tuna, and mushroom products such as matsutake truffles.

Boutique supermarkets also need some more powerful food, high-quality mineral water, etc., all of which require capital to market.

Obviously it is just a very ordinary mineral water, really just the kind with an IQ tax. However, after the exquisite packaging and its proud price tag, it instantly became unaffordable. Luxury.

For many years, I even thought that it could be made a special product in the counter, and something like this needed to be 'locked'. Only in this way could it show its quality.

Because only in this way can it be sold at a high price.

It's not a rare item, nor is it a very valuable thing, but it just wants to sell for such a high price.

This is marketing!

Anyway, after seeing these products, Qin Huairu felt that it was outrageous to open the door for him. It was outrageous.

But in the living room at this time, Bai Tofu arrived first before Li Ke arrived home.

"Dad, I want to talk to you about the PHS cell phone."

At this moment, Bai Doufu's eyes were filled with resentment, as if she had not been her biological daughter for many years.

Li Xiulun, who was standing next to him, saw the doubtful look his father-in-law had given him for many years, and shrugged helplessly and said:

"Dad, we went to Apple's new product launch today. After the launch, she became like this."

Before many years of talking, Bai Doufu immediately said:

"Dad, after watching Apple's press conference, I discovered the fact that I am not your biological daughter at all. I was most likely picked up by you."

Xu Mengyao, who was sitting next to her, suddenly smiled happily:

"Third sister, you didn't pick it up, I was the one who picked it up by my parents."

"Don't talk nonsense, you are my own, I picked you up."

Bai Doufu glared at Xu Mengyao, and then said to many years:

"Dad, you should know what Apple's latest product is, right? It's a phone that can take pictures and play three kinds of games. Our PHS phones can't play it at all."

"And they also have MP3 players. This is not something we can win at all."

After hearing this for many years, he did not interrupt Bai Doufu's speech, but listened quietly.

Of course he understood why his daughter said this, she just wanted to take a shortcut.

It's clear that we haven't reached the end of the road yet, but we always think that we can't handle it.

Brother Jing is overconfident, while Bai Doufu is somewhat underconfident.

If the two children complement each other, it might be perfect.

After the child finished speaking, many years ago he asked:

"Then do you want to admit defeat?"

A rhetorical question immediately made Bai Tofu lose his momentum.

After a while, she said:

"Dad, am I asking you for help? You are my father. Is it normal for me to ask you for help? This is not considered a violation."

After a pause, Bai Doufu continued:

"I'm not going to admit defeat, but dad, you have to help me..."

"Apple's new products this time, not to mention ordinary consumers, even me, are very excited..."

To be honest, a mobile phone that can take pictures, even if it only has 300,000 pixels, is a very powerful and epoch-making product.

Such high-tech products will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the market.

Ordinary consumers have no resistance, which means that the entire mobile phone market is likely to be dominated by Apple again.

Originally, Apple's share of the mobile phone market exceeded 60%.

Now that they are holding back such a big move, how can Huaxing Company and PHS Company resist?

"Besides, Dad, didn't you say that you want our PHS company to become Apple's competitor? If our PHS company can't withstand this wave of pressure from Apple..."

Hearing these words from Bai Doufu, many years ago he immediately laughed.

After she finished speaking, many years later she said:

"Don't worry, PHS will not be defeated, and Apple is the king of the mobile phone market..."

"Now they are just getting back to the top. As for whether they can really get back to the top and stabilize their market position, it depends on whether PHS and Huaxing can put pressure on it..."

"If you are too weak, then they can dominate the global mobile phone market again"

"As for you asking me to help? My daughter, you have to understand that you are already afraid and asking for help before you take any action. Do you know that this is a sign of a coward?"

"This is not the Bai Tofu I know? My daughter is not knocked down so easily, is she?"

Being retaliated with an understatement again, Bai Doufu was really at his wits end at this time.

"Dad, just help me!"

Bai Doufu came up with her trump card: acting like a spoiled child!

However, this doesn't seem to have any effect.

Her father stood up and left, taking away her two brothers at the same time, leaving her alone in the wind. (End of chapter)
