Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 750 Channels

  Commercial trade requires broad market support, of which channel resources are the top priority.

   In the former member states of the Commonwealth of Nations, under the power of the British Empire, the resources of British companies in various regions are far beyond the reach of others.

  Even after the end of World War II, British companies still supported the rapid recovery of the British economy by relying on the channel resources at their disposal.

   Almost every British company has many high-quality industries in various colonies. Due to the independence of the Commonwealth of Nations, most of them are handed over peacefully, so many British companies have not suffered much damage.

  Especially in Asia, there are many population resources, and its potential far exceeds that of other regions. The resources occupied by the British are unimaginably rich.

   However, these British people did not cherish and use it well, and waste it in vain.

   For some reason, British companies seem to have a kind of urine, that is, as long as a region is not under the direct jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, British companies will gather power one after another.

This point can be seen from the situation of British capital in Xiangjiang. As Xiangjiang shows signs of returning, British capital has already begun to prepare to withdraw. The foundation built over decades does not seem to be distressed at all. .

   Honestly, this kind of behavior, Yang Chen really doesn't understand what the British think, and how their heads grow, so they can be so stupid.

   Maybe it was the glory of the past that made the British people not see the changes in the situation clearly, or they were blindly confident, thinking that if they left, the earth would not be able to continue to operate normally.

   However, in fact, in all places where British capital is withdrawn, the last cheap people will only be local businessmen, who have the deep roots left by the British, as long as they are not stupid, they can make a lot of money.

   Of course, one possibility is not ruled out, that is, they have done too many bad things, and the British are afraid of retaliation against them after the rise of the colonial powers.

   In order to avoid losses and stop losses in time, I am afraid that is the idea of ​​many British people.

  Under the rule of the British Empire, British capital could be unscrupulous in the colonies, but with the decline of British national strength, the military strength regressed, and the hegemony was replaced by the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union.

  The British capital has lost its backing, and it has changed from being high above to being under the fence. No one will feel good about this feeling.

  Many British businessmen, during this period, mostly chose to return to the mainland and be honest and rich.

   Over the past few decades, the proportion of British companies in the member states of the Commonwealth has dropped to the point where it is difficult to influence the internal economies of each member state, but some of the companies that remain, and the industries they control, are mostly very promising industries.

   Simply put, it means having huge profits.

  Being able to insist on refusing to return to local British companies without the protection of their backers, apart from huge profits, I am afraid it is difficult to explain this.

  The world is all for profit

  The world is all for profit

  Businessmen, as long as they are profitable, they dare to do anything, dare to face risks, and dare to lose their lives.

  As the status of the United Kingdom in the international community continues to decline, and the local forces of the member states of the Commonwealth are gradually rising, those industries that make money naturally also arouse the peeping of big guys.

  The Fortune 500 companies in the later generations, in any industry, it is difficult to see the presence of British companies.

   It is not difficult to see how much market British companies lost during this period.

   Channels are easy to give up, but difficult to build.

  Any industry has a fixed share, once one party gives up, then the other party jumps out and eats your share, then it is not so easy for you to want to eat.

   Therefore, what Yang Chen thought was that, taking advantage of the privatization going on inside the UK, many British capital wanted to withdraw and get a share of the pie, and tossed about one-third of the acre of their own land.

   This is definitely an opportunity.

  Most multinational enterprises in the 21st century have one thing in common, that is, the growth stage is mostly concentrated in the 1980s and 1990s.

  At the end of the 20th century, the financial industry was unprecedentedly developed. Take the United States as an example. In the ten or two decades after the end of the Cold War, American companies started a crazy foreign expansion strategy with funds raised from stock exchanges.

   Everyone knows that the premise of market development is to have channels. Without channels, no matter how good the products are, there is no way to sell them.

Even in the 21st century, when the Internet is very popular, channels are also a very important resource, especially in countries outside the inland. When online shopping is not very popular in other countries, channels are still the most important strategy for all multinational companies. resource.

   Now he has no shortage of money, as long as he can inherit some of their channels in various Commonwealth member countries from the British capital, it will play a crucial role in his future industrial development.

   This time, he has made a large-scale investment in the UK for only two purposes. In addition to acquiring some high-tech companies and high-profit enterprises, the other is to acquire those companies with deep roots in the member states of the Commonwealth.

   The rise of Li Chaoren in later generations is inseparable from the support of HSBC, and HSBC, as a British-owned foreign bank, is most deeply implicated in its companies, all of which are companies with British-funded background.

  When a UK business cannot survive somewhere, then HSBC will help take the lead and recommend it to those who need it.

   Through this way of making money at both ends, HSBC will have a high profit that far exceeds its peers every year.

The rise of Li Chaoren is largely due to the fact that he has annexed many British-funded enterprises in various regions through the relationship of HSBC. In the past few years, a business empire spanning many countries has been established.

   With Li Chaoren's successful case in front, Yang Chen has no reason to leave it alone. He is going to follow Li Chaoren's path this time, leaving the other party with nowhere to go in the future.

  The richest man in China has already taken his seat, so in the future, unless he is willing to retire, no one will want to pull him down from his position.

   I remember that in later generations, Li Chaoren took the position of the richest man in China, and he soared into the sky from then on, and everything he did was unfavorable.

   The position of the richest man in China is like a weakened version of the hanger. With this title, no matter where you go, others will give you some face.

  This invisible blessing, although not a real benefit, but the potential benefits are unimaginable.

   To give a simple example, in the same business cooperation, one side is an ordinary company, and the other side is a company owned by the richest man in China. You say that the other side will cooperate with that side.

   Don't guess, even if a normal person suffers a small loss, he will definitely strive for cooperation with a famous person.

   This is human nature and no one can change it.
