Shi Zhiyi sat at his desk and looked at the four wigs with different shapes on the desk. Song TIANYAO sat opposite him and waited for him to comment.
"This is the product produced by your factory?" Shi Zhiyi touched the front wig with his hand and said to song TIANYAO, "are you sure this thing can be comparable to the wig produced by Americans?"
"I asked my friend to go to the boutiques of three British department stores, Lane Crawford, Martha and Debenham, with wigs. The people in charge of selling wigs in the three department stores vowed that the wigs in her hand must be high-grade goods made in the United States." song TIANYAO smiled at Shi Zhiyi: "Wigs, I recently read English newspapers and noticed that they seem to have become popular among young people in London, Birmingham, Liverpool and other places. They all learn from American young people. Whether they admit it or not, Americans are now leading the world trend."
"So?" Shi Zhiyi picked up a wig with a wavy shape and looked at Song TIANYAO.
"Director Shi, it's time for the administration of industry and commerce to show some bright data to the Hong Kong Governor's office, isn't it? And before selling wigs to the United States, we must let everyone see its hot sales, stimulate those who still want to continue to open factories to make money, and let them realize that they don't care about the markets in Nanyang and the Middle East anymore, and they are now doing American business. I think you Consider helping promote my products, for example, to say hello to the purchasing departments of Lane Crawford, Martha and Debenham, three established companies with chain department stores in the UK. "Song TIANYAO said to Shi Zhiyi: "British department stores should support Hong Kong and let it get through the difficulties, instead of letting Hong Kong, the city of the Far East, fade gradually, but they sell American products that led to this. Hong Kong is now a British colony. These wigs in front of you should also be British."
"If the price is cheaper than American goods, I can consider asking them to sit together for you. What you said is also reasonable. There is no doubt that Hong Kong is British. Of course, your products are also British, although you should mark the colony later." Shi Zhiyi has known song TIANYAO for some time, and some words don't need to be so vague. Now part of the monthly income of Guanya company will be transferred to his wife's account, and the relationship between him and song TIANYAO is very stable.
"I've done a survey. Except for extremely rare hair color and difficult modeling wigs, most wigs in the United States. The selling price of the three major British department stores is about HK $1400 to HK $1550, while the price supplied by the United States is about HK $1170 to HK $1200. In other words, if a wig produced in the United States is sold, the department store will earn a profit of HK $300 Run. The price of my wig sold to my Xianrong trading company from the wig factory is HK $1000. The price for Xianrong trading company to sell goods to the three major department stores can be as low as HK $1050. Moreover, I left shares in Xianrong company for Mrs. Beth. Each wig is sold to the three major British companies, and Mrs. Beth's Oxfam account can be increased by HK $50, Do you think the price is low enough? "Since Shi Zhiyi asked directly, song TIANYAO stopped beating around the Bush and said the price and the benefits Shi Zhiyi should get:" do you still think American products are more to your taste? "
"How many wigs can your factory produce every month?" Shi Zhiyi neither nodded nor shook his head, but continued to ask.
He never worried about how much benefit song TIANYAO would give himself. This young Chinese always thought things over.
Song TIANYAO picked up a wig on the table: "at present, my factory has four sets of equipment. One set of equipment is produced 24 hours. According to the operation proficiency of workers, it can produce six wigs to eight wigs 24 hours. Four sets of equipment. In a month, the number of wigs is probably about 900."
Shi Zhiyi estimated in his mind that the ex factory price of a wig is HK $1000. If all 900 wigs are sold, it is HK $900000. At present, under the embargo, only a few factories in Hong Kong can achieve a monthly turnover of HK $900000. No wonder song TIANYAO will say that when the industrial and commercial administration reports to the Hong Kong Governor's government, the paper will look much better, HK $900000 Monthly growth may not be much in the early post-war period, but it has shown a pretty upward line on paper when the embargo is raging in Hong Kong.
"After that, how do you open up the American market?" Shi Zhiyi looked at Song TIANYAO. "I'm always skeptical about your insistence on driving the production of wigs in Hong Kong. Song, you're really not a kind-hearted person. You'll have a turnover of 900000 yuan a month. Will you be willing to share it with others?"
"As I wrote in my notepad, I will do that. If director Shi doesn't believe it, just look at it. By the way, I asked you about the loan from HSBC at the last dinner?" song TIANYAO smiled at Shi Zhiyi, didn't tangle with the problems raised by Shi Zhiyi, and smoothly changed the topic.
Shi Zhiyi didn't continue to ask. He nodded: "Of course, as long as you are sure that there is no problem with the guarantor and that the loan will also appear in the accounts of the company registered by Miss Angie pelis, there will be no problem. Considering the special relationship between Angie pelis and you, HSBC even specially arranged a business manager named Samberg and Chinese name Shen Bi to take charge of it."
"Who?" song TIANYAO was stunned when he heard the name, and asked a rare second question.
"Shen Bi, Samberg, do you know him? He has just been transferred from HSBC branch in Japan to Hong Kong. He is a very capable and serious young man. The most important thing is that he also graduated from Oxford University." Shi Zhiyi said in surprise looking at Song TIANYAO's expression.
Song TIANYAO shook his head slightly, smiled and explained, "nothing. It's just the Chinese name of Mr. Samberg. It's the same name as a friend of mine."
Shi Zhiyi didn't care about song TIANYAO's just performance. In his opinion, song TIANYAO should have no intersection with the business manager of HSBC, and there is a great possibility of being stunned by the repetition of his name.
But in fact, when song TIANYAO heard Shen Bi's name, his first reaction was not because Shen bi was the chairman of the century old financial empire of HSBC in the future, but because he first thought of Li Chaoren, who may not have started at this time. There were many rumors in the last life. Li Chaoren could really sit down as a real estate tycoon in Hong Kong, It is because his wife Zhong Yueming helped him get on Shen Bi's line. It is even rumored that Li Superman's wife Zhong Yueming is Shen Bi's lover. Of course, the truth of these rumors is unknown.
However, Li Chaoren did get to know Shen Bi through his wife, and thanks to Shen Bi's tenure as chairman of HSBC, he directly sold him the controlling stake in Hutchison Whampoa at a lower price than the supermarket sale without bidding, and allowed him to postpone payment. After the news broke out, many people said, Even if his father doted on his son, he couldn't exceed this level. Hutchison Whampoa was worth at least HK $1.5 billion at that time. As a result, Shen Bi sold it to Li Chaoren for HK $639 million. Therefore, it is not surprising that there will be such rumors in the market.
Of course, although the rumor is not true, it is also strange. Three years after Shen Bi left his post as chairman of HSBC and returned to the UK for old-age care, Zhong Yueming suddenly died strangely. The cause of death has been widely spread by the outside world and has become a mystery.
Song TIANYAO did not expect that he was going to lend a small sum of money to HSBC. He actually had the opportunity to deal with Shen Bi, who became the chairman of HSBC more than 20 years later.
To be honest, after hearing the name, song TIANYAO had some expectations in his heart.
Whether it's seduction or money, at least the story of Hutchison Whampoa proves that Shen Bi is not a refined gold body. As long as there are flaws, he will always have a chance. It's HSBC. HSBC, which has made many Chinese people think but have no heart in the last life.
