British 1986

If another time traveler were to see his current achievements, he would probably sneer at him.

These fragmented enterprises, as well as the Blue Knight takeaway company, pharmaceutical factory, electronics factory, Manchester United Football Club, Bentley Motors, and the upcoming French restaurant chain and other industries, the total assets combined are almost estimated It's worth over a billion pounds.

But the overall profit was actually that Allen didn't save much money.

It's all because he is now in the early stages of accumulation and development.

He has already spent all the hundreds of millions of pounds he got from Sony.

They are all used to strengthen themselves and develop industries.

Some people may think that if they had done nothing with the money and just deposited the hundreds of millions of pounds in the bank and only earned interest, the situation would probably have been better than the current situation.

But this kind of thinking is the most unpopular and short-sighted thinking.

If ordinary people suddenly became rich, it would be understandable to play like this. Anyway, the money would never be spent in a lifetime.

But is Allen an ordinary person?

He is not an ordinary person who can feed himself and the whole family is not hungry. He still has a family, a title, and so many people who eat with him.

If he just holds this dead money and lies in his bankbook waiting for death, then he may not be able to wait until the day when he dies, and he will suffer disaster.

Through the expansion of so many companies, Allen has further expanded his staff. After all, the number of employees in various companies who now rely on him as the boss to live is nearly 10,000!

If we take the family as a unit, how big a force is this?

If the company gets on the right track with his further development in the future, this number will grow rapidly.

If you look at it from a purely Eastern perspective, the industries Allen is working on do not seem to be closely related. It can be said that he is a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. He has completely failed to achieve the so-called full industry chain and what is popular in later generations. Ecological closed loop, upstream and downstream connections, etc.

But these things cannot be generalized when applied to people of different identities at different times, in different eras!

Again, Allen is a nobleman. The first thing he has to protect is himself. These are all his private property!

When he first took over, he first started making movies, then made money, then went to Gambia to make some dirty money, and finally used Sony to cheat money.

These are the primitive accumulation stages that early development has to go through.

After the money was obtained and a certain amount of capital was available, Allen began to arrange other industries, such as those factories in China, which were arranged in this environment.

Instant noodle factory and radio factory are long-term enterprises that can take root in the local area, last for a long time, and have strong risk resistance capabilities.

As for the industries in other places, they are all arranged under this kind of thinking.

This is not to say that in all industries, as long as it makes money, Allen will do it. He only works in industries that he understands and can maintain.

Instead of blindly expanding the scale, playing with ecological closed loops, industrial chains and other lofty things.

In the West, compared with places like China, which have just begun to develop in recent years, the overall environment is different!

In this era, China is full of gold, and there are opportunities everywhere.

But what about Great Britain and Europe?

No chance anywhere!

There are some industries that many Chinese people only came into contact with in the 1990s or even after 2000. In the West, they have existed for a long time!

The place is different and the situation is also different.

Here, it's not like some time-traveler can make money by just slapping his forehead, thinking of some interesting and profitable industry in China for future generations, and investing in building a factory.

In an era before the rise of the Internet, all industries that could make money had already appeared, and people had already done them.

Not to mention whether you can make money by investing in those industries now. Even if you can make money, if a novice rashly enters a new industry and builds a new factory, will your competitors mess with you?

Have you thought about the cost?

This is not a place like China where workers' wages are only one or twenty pounds a month. This is a place where workers' wages are seven hundred or eight hundred pounds a month, or even more!

Labor costs have gone up, but what about product profits?

We are not all fools. The economic situation has been so bad in the past two years. Why can no one turn this situation around?

Isn’t it because society and industries in various places have long been solidified and no one can do anything about it? !

There are so many national elites who can't do anything, but you, an ordinary time traveler, can do something?

Dream on!

So, if a person really travels back to the 1980s and 1990s, it would be okay if he travels to a place like China, and there are many opportunities, but if he travels to a foreign country, it will really be a hell of a start!

Moreover, the aristocracy pays attention to diversified investments, decentralized industries, and diversification.

This is a cunning rabbit's three caves. In order to prevent a certain industry from suddenly going bankrupt or suffering a force majeure blow, the family cuts off its source of funds.

With this core of thought, what is the mentality of building an ecological closed loop or a whole industry chain?

Are you afraid that your competitors or potential enemies will make things difficult for you?

Which one is more risky, concentrating our efforts against you in one main industry, or spreading our forces against you across dozens of industries?

It must be the former!

With Allen's current industrial layout, if someone is really determined to target him, then just let him go.

You have taken advantage of one of my industries, and I have other industries that provide blood. When you turn around and deal with my other industries, my industry will regain its strength again, which is like an immortal Xiaoqiang.

Unless there is a powerful enemy who attacks all his industries at the same time and in all directions.

But for such an opponent, if he can reach this level, Allen will not form a deep hatred with them that is worthy of their actions.

Therefore, in his industry, no matter what he sells is high-end or not, as long as he can make money and as long as the entire industry is relatively stable, he will be very satisfied.

What we should do specifically depends on the times, external situations, and local policies, and we just need to make some adjustments. This is the safest way.

It's not like some people imagine, just take money, find a self-righteous industry, invest money in it, and then make a lot of money.

In this world, before the Internet was popularized, apart from illegal arms, contraband and the like, the only way to make quick money was in finance.

Allen doesn't like making that kind of money because he's not good enough and doesn't understand!

He just wants to make this kind of stable money. With his current layout and development in the past few years, it can be said that it has begun to take shape. As long as he waits for a few more years of development and development, he will make more and more money in the future. It is becoming more and more stable, and the "moat" around him will become more and more secure as the number of his employees increases.

We are taking the path of slowly accumulating food.

While Mr. Allen was worrying about the first-half financial report, an international flight slowly landed at Cardiff International Airport.

After the plane came to a stop, a group of passengers with oriental faces wearing suits and side-parted hairstyles walked out of the cabin.

There were two huge bus-style buses parked in the pick-up area next to the runway.

Zhang Xin stood beside the bus with a smile, waiting for the group of people to get off the plane.

This is an inspection group from Shanghai, invited by Carmarthenshire, Wales, to come here for a special visit.

"Hello, Leader Wang, I am Zhang Xin, welcome to Wales."

"Haha, hello, hello!"

Leader Wang wears old-fashioned large-framed glasses with black rims. He doesn’t look too old, but his hair is a little thinning. The airport runway is a bit empty. When the breeze blows, his newly styled hairstyle becomes a bit sloppy. The hair on both sides Her hair was all blown back, revealing a reflective area in the middle of her head.

Hearing this familiar accent, Team Leader Wang happily shook hands with Zhang Xin.

This time they were invited to lead a team to visit the so-called Wales. As soon as they stepped off the ground, they could hear people speaking proficient Chinese, and the whole experience went to a new level.

Pulling the deputy team leader and several other managers behind him, Team Leader Wang personally introduced Zhang Xin one by one.

After both parties finished their polite greetings, Zhang Xin looked at Leader Wang with a smile and said, "It's getting late now. Should we walk around Cardiff first and take a rest, or go directly to Carmarthen?"

"Oh" Team Leader Wang then had the opportunity to take a look at the so-called Cardiff International Airport. To be honest, the airport is not big, with only two runways, and the waiting room in front is even smaller. You can see it all at a glance. Compared with the Shanghai Airport, it can only be regarded as a comparison between bicycles and buses, and there is no comparison.

Although this place is small, everything is neatly tidied and looks very artistic!

However, since we are here for inspection, we should go to the place where we are visiting first, Cardiff. Although it is the capital of Wales, we can just come back to play before we leave after we have finished our business.

Thinking of this, Leader Wang smiled and said: "Secretary Zhang, let's go to Carmarthen first. When we come to your place, you can make all the arrangements. Do the business first, do the business first, hahaha."

"Okay, leaders, let's get in the car. We are still more than an hour away from Carmarthen. This is how I have arranged it. We will go to Llanelli Port along the coast, and then go to Carmarthen from Llanelli Port. There will be a bit more distance along the way, but the roads are all major roads and you can also enjoy some coastal scenery.”

"Just listen to Secretary Zhang's arrangements!"

Some of the group were still looking at the small airport, some were packing their luggage in the back, and some had already gotten on the bus, ready to experience this trip to Great Britain and Wales.

2 p.m.

Llanelli Port city centre.

The port of Llanelli, which was originally a bit sluggish, had a huge flow of people today.

In the square, rows of temporary locked wardrobes are extremely eye-catching.

Today is the day when Carmarthenshire holds the Fruit Riding Competition.

There were more than 800 contestants who signed up. In addition to these contestants, after receiving the news, tens of thousands of people came to watch from the surrounding area. As a result, Llanelli Port has not been so lively for a long time. , it seemed crowded, as if celebrating the New Year.

Fruit riding is just an attitude, a way of publicity to express environmental protection.

It’s not that players are required to just come to the competition on their bikes without wearing any clothes.

Along the way, players from all over the world have long since died!

Among the more than 800 players, the furthest ones include herdsmen from the Scottish Highlands.

In other places like London, Manchester, etc., some fans come to compete.

When you get to the place, you first sign in, then get your number plate, and then get a copy of the competition instructions and a route map. Finally, you can take off your clothes and get ready, waiting for the organizer to officially start the race.

Syphis was wearing a very orthodox old-fashioned aristocratic style suit. Although the weather was a bit hot now, he still had to pay attention to his image when he appeared on such an occasion with his current status as a knight.

Looking at the field of white flowers dozens of meters away, Syphis' facial expression was slightly distorted. He took a few steps back and took a deep breath without leaving any trace.

He had no experience holding this thing before, and now looking at this spectacular scene of hundreds of people taking off their clothes together, even a slut like Syphis felt a little uncomfortable.

In addition, it smells like a strange smell in a bathhouse, eh?

In the summer, it's already hot. If you don't wear clothes, you'll sweat as soon as the sun shines on you.

The smell of thousands of people's farts mixed with the faint smell of body odor, sweat, and other compound smells drifted over ten meters away.

Siphis was already starting to regret it.

In order to make it easier for the young master to see what's new at home, the route he planned specifically passed through the road outside the Hill Manor.

this.

Judging from the current situation, if the young master doesn't pay attention and is smoked out after the convoy passes, then he will... Although he may not be punished, but he will be scolded a few times.

"Who is that? Hurry up and inform people, hurry up and prepare, hurry up and compete. If you delay for a while, time won't be enough! Hurry up."

Thinking of the scene waiting on the road, Syphis urged his men to start the game quickly with a look of disgust on his face, and told these people to leave quickly!

The smell is too great!

Leader Wang sat in the first seat on the right side of the bus as soon as he got on the bus.

This position has a wide view. In addition to the scenery on both sides, you can also clearly see the scenery in front.

Zhang Xin accompanied him and sat next to her. The two of them laughed and chatted as they drove west from Cardiff, passed Swansea, and finally entered Llanelli.

"Leader Wang, we have now officially entered the territory of Carmarthenshire, and we will reach the urban area of ​​Llanelli ahead."

As Zhang Xin spoke, she looked at the surrounding traffic and frowned slightly. She always felt that she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it.

Leader Wang looked at the surrounding buildings happily. He had read information about this city before coming here. It was said that the permanent population was about 50,000 to 60,000 people. This small town was not as big as some county towns in China, but it was As soon as he arrived, Team Leader Wang discovered that the information was misleading!

Who said that other cities are small and desolate?

There is so much traffic on this street, where is the desolation? !

Looking at the pedestrians on the road, the kind of, eh... excited smiles on their faces?

Leader Wang blinked, turned his head and asked, "Secretary Zhang, what activities are you doing here today? I see that these people look very excited."

"!!!"

When Zhang Xin heard what Leader Wang said, an idea flashed in his mind, something bad happened!

She suddenly remembered that there were some activities here today.

PS: The word "guo" for "guoqi" is not a typo. I did it on purpose. If it were replaced with the word "Luo", it would become an asterisk. Just understand the meaning.
