Volume Two, Section 102, Interlude
"You also noticed this problem?" Sha Zhengyang laughed.
"This is a brand new market, and we need to start from scratch. This seems very difficult, but it is also our opportunity. As long as we do it well, we can monopolize the market of Handu and Jiazhou at once, for at least a period of time, and then other cities."
"Zhengyang, have you considered the transportation cost and radiation range of barreled water?" Lei Ting frowned.
"The water dispenser is better. Bottled water is a fast-moving consumer goods. Every bucket a few days. For example, Jiazhou, the transportation cost is too high. I don't think it is a good idea. Unless you can set up a factory in Jiazhou, in my judgment, Yintai factory can at most meet the needs of Han City and the relatively close cities of Anxiang, Zhaoyang, Bazhou and Wuyang. If you go far, the transportation cost will be a bit expensive."
What Lei Ting said makes sense. If we look at it from a popular perspective, the radiation distance will indeed be largely subject to transportation costs.
However, Sha Zhengyang also knew that in the early stages of barreled water, the state of combining it with a water dispenser was largely a luxury. In addition to a few families with good family backgrounds, it was more used by government agencies and enterprises and institutions.
A bucket of mineral water costs dozens of yuan, and it has been sold from twenty to fifty.
This is not twenty years later. The current consumption level of twenty yuan is at least two hundred yuan in twenty years. It is simply a consumption fashion to enjoy.
When it is truly timely to become more popular after three to five years, Nature Water Industry should also complete its initial original accumulation and market layout, and advance to other cities and even other provinces.
Sha Zhengyang said his reasons and Thunder also reflected them.
Bottled water, which has not yet fully flourished in Guangdong, is definitely a new thing in inland areas such as Hanchuan. First, turn on the bottled water, and then promote bottled water. This is the most correct way to promote it.
"Zhengyang, it seems that you are confident, so I feel relieved." Lei Ting adjusted his seat and said, "Let's go, what to eat tonight?"
"How about hot pot?" Sha Zhengyang smiled and said, "I call Caizi and Zhenggang."
When Sha Zhengyang talked about Feng Zicai, Lei Ting thought of something, "By the way, don't say anything, talented man, I really found someone in Hong Kong willing to publish it."
"Oh? Really?" Sha Zhengyang was also surprised. He was just trying his luck, but he didn't expect that such a good thing would be true.
"Well, of course, don't expect to make much money. The Hong Kong market is so big, with limited print counts, but how many you can earn is counted on." Thunder nodded, "When the time comes, you pay based on the print count. Didn't you say that you hope this instinct can be adapted? I also entrust one of my cousins to help give it a try. Maybe they can really be favored by celebrities like Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung?"
"Your cousin has a way?" Sha Zhengyang heard Thunder mention that he had four cousins, one of whom was engaged in the film industry, which also made Sha Zhengyang quite curious.
I wonder if this guy in the Golden Age of Hong Kong movies shines in it? But it is obvious that there are tens of thousands of people working in the film industry in Hong Kong. Except for the few people in front of the stage Sha Zhengyang, who knows a little, there are more behind the scenes and the characters behind the stage Sha Zheng** who are not familiar with it.
So Sha Zhengyang was just curious and had no other thoughts.
"He used to be in management at Shaw Brothers, and later worked at Debao, the famous brand Pan, but Debao is no longer available now. However, Pandison admires him very much. He no longer works in the movie industry and has entered the Dison creation work, but he still has some connections in the film industry." Thunder's words were not without pride.
His cousin is still a bit tricky, and he is the friendliest of his cousins. This time he is preparing to set up a company in Hong Kong and invited his cousin to invest. His cousin is willing to invest in HK$500,000, which will add the one million raised by Thunder, totaling HK$1.5 million.
"Oh, it turns out that your cousin is not a simple person either." Sha Zhengyang nodded, "I hope that no matter how much it can be sold, as long as someone is willing to buy it for adaptation, that is good news."
Audi 100 drove out of the airport skillfully, and Thunder's eyes were a little more emotional, "The inland is still too backward, and there is no need to say about Hong Kong. I feel that Guangzhou and Shenzhen are like two worlds with this side, and the pace of life there is half a beat faster than this side."
"Take it slow, you should know the shock of Mr. Deng's southern tour to the whole country. Hanchuan is located in the inland area and cannot be compared with Nanyue, but the impact will be transmitted soon." Sha Zhengyang did not look sideways and drove the car steadily, like an old driver.
"The changes are so big, Zhengyang, I feel like you have been driving for many years." Lei Ting sighed again, "Mr. Deng's southern tour has caused a great response in Hong Kong. I guess my uncle was moved because of this."
"It seems that what I told you about moving your uncle's electronics factory to Hanchuan is a chance?" Sha Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Thunder.
"It's not certain, how can those who do business not negotiate terms?" Lei Ting laughed, "However, Zhengyang, I have studied the pound exchange rate issue that you mentioned to me on the phone, and I have also asked someone to discuss it together. Don't say it's really possible, of course, the premise is that the Federal Republic of Germany can withstand the pressure of Britain."
"Since you have asked an expert to analyze this, you should know that the Federal Republic of Germany is now in a mess. It seems to have expanded suddenly, but it is difficult to digest it. The economic gap between the two sides is very large. The Federal Republic of Germany will need at least several years to slowly restore balance. It is difficult to ask them to help the British."
Sha Zhengyang is very confident about this, "And the central bank of the Federal Republic of Germany has always been independent and does not buy the European Community account. The European exchange rate mechanism actually traps the Germans, and has no good impression of the United Kingdom. It will not sacrifice its own interests to support the British."
"But the British are very tough, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont is very firm,..."
Lei Ting didn't know where the news came from, so Sha Zhengyang just vaguely revealed to him that his former boss Cao Qingtai had a classmate at the Financial Research Center of the State Council, and then refused to say more.
Thunder didn't know how to ask in depth. Even if this kind of information from the senior management was full of uncertainty, it could still reveal a lot of information, which is also the reason why he and his partners in Hong Kong were excited about it.
After all, research between countries is definitely much better than research by ordinary companies or individuals, and the information source channels of countries are definitely not comparable to ordinary financial institutions.
His partner also repeatedly reminded Thunder not to ask in-depth questions, especially when China and the UK are still fighting in secret for the handover of Hong Kong in five years.
"Hmph, the Germans are more old-fashioned. German Central Bank President Helmut Schlesinger has always been skeptical about the fixed exchange rate of European currencies. It is a daydream to expect him to sacrifice his own interests to rescue the hateful British." Sha Zhengyang was extremely sure of his attitude, and then asked quickly: "Do you have any ideas?"
"Hehe, a friend of mine, that is, a friend of mine, has interests in this regard. I have discussed it with him. He agrees with your point of view, so..." Lei Ting also laughed.
"What about you?" Sha Zhengyang asked directly.
"Just just have fun. Since my uncle is willing to lend me money, I don't have much or no. So I plan to have fun with my friend. His family is in good condition and I plan to play with one million." Lei Ting's face showed excitement, "I will entrust him to play with you."
Those who can spend one million to play this must be rich second generation. However, there are many families like Hong Kong that have hidden names. In addition, the branches of some big families are not usually visible, but their foundation is not bad. Of course, they cannot compare with Li, Bao, Huo, He, Guo and other families, but they are still very capable.
Shaking his head, Sha Zhengyang asked again: "Are you going to leverage?"
Thunder smiled cunningly: "It depends on the situation."
Sha Zhengyang knew Thunder's personality, and even if he increased leverage, he would be very conservative, so he didn't ask much, not to mention that Hong Kong dollars of 1.2 million are simply insignificant waves in such a big wave, and they are not enough to change anything.
"Just be careful, but this kind of shorting won't make much money. It's rare to have 20% profit." Sha Zhengyang changed the topic, "By the way, if the factory is built, you will stay here, right?"
"Well, I will basically stay forever, but it depends on the situation. If my uncle really wants to invest here, he will definitely send some management personnel. Maybe I can entrust management as well." Lei Ting smiled.
"I'm afraid you can't let go in the past or two years. This is your company after all." Sha Zhengyang shook his head, "And I guess this industry will usher in an explosive period next year and the next year. Especially if the Natural Water Industry becomes famous, the demand for water dispensers will definitely be very high, and there will be no fewer followers. You should consider expanding the production line to ensure that production capacity seizes the market."
"I know this." Lei Ting lowered the passenger seat and lay down comfortably, "I'll take a nap and call me at home."
Before he finished speaking, Sha Zhengyang's phone rang and answered. It was Sun Yan who came and asked for dinner together in the evening.
As soon as he heard the sound of a girl, Thunder suddenly stopped drowsy, sat up and pricked up his ears to listen.
Seeing Lei Ting's smile on his face, Sha Zhengyang couldn't say much to Sun Yan on the phone, so he agreed to have dinner together in the evening and said that he had a few of his classmates and friends.
