Chapter 24 The most important "1"

Xian Yaowen knew that Borg was rich and that he was in London, but he didn't know the specific location. He only knew that Borg was not a serious person and would definitely frequent places where people could play cards or where he could play cards. It was a bit difficult for him to figure it out by himself, but he couldn't and didn't have the ability to ask others for help.

He now faces two thorny problems:

First, when he and Borg met in the last life, the other person was already an old man in his early nineties. Now he should be in his early thirties. He didn't know whether the other person looked different when he was old and when he was young. There might be differences in meeting him. acquaintance situation.

Secondly, he didn't know if Borg's current name was Adolf Borg. If he moved to another place, he would change his name. He didn't know if the other party was as cautious as him. He hoped not, otherwise, he really had to go there. Germany, trying to get the files left behind by Berg when he was in prison.

After sitting in the cafe for a long time, Xian Yaowen finished reading the newspaper he bought and learned a lot about the current political and economic situation in the UK. However, he did not get any information from the newspaper that was helpful for finding Borg. He did not feel dissatisfied and paid the bill. cafe and took a taxi to Soho, Westminster.

Soho is a famous red light district in London with hundreds of years of history. There is a street in the district called "Gerrard Street", which translates to Gerrard Street.

In recent years, Chinese people from Hong Kong and Fujian have begun to gather here sporadically. The Chinese community in East London in ancient times also showed signs of migrating here. With the emergence of several Chinese restaurants, the Chinese have a place to set up a dragon gate. Inadvertently, During this period, Gerald Street was called Juerlu Street, which was the main component of London's Chinatown in the future.

When Xian Yaowen came to Juelu Street, he easily found a Chinese restaurant through the signboard. When he walked into the store, he found that two of the five tables were already occupied, both Chinese, chatting lively across the tables.

Glancing at the food on the two tables, and then at the list on the wall, Xian Yaowen chose the one closest to the other two occupied tables, and ordered a double plate rice for himself.

A few people who were chatting lively waited until he sat down before anyone noticed him, but after just a slight glance, they looked back and continued to set up the dragon gate array.

His half-Tang style is not uncommon in Hong Kong, let alone London. In the early years, in order to obtain permanent residency, many overseas Chinese in the UK chose to marry prostitutes or Irish women. Half-Tang style was a symbol of the Chinese community. Matching, but pure-blooded second generation is very rare.

This is just right, Xian Yaowen can quietly listen to a few people chatting, saving the effort of dealing with it.

The content of the chat was very high-end, mainly discussing female anatomy from a medical perspective and commenting on the performance of several sopranos singing arias from an artistic perspective. During the chat, some people also transformed themselves into store explorers and conducted in-depth analyzes of several stores in Soho. Service level.

From the chats between several people, Xian Yaowen got some useful information. There is a very high-end store on Greek Street. This store has a very fashionable name "White House".

After finishing the meal, Xian Yaowen went to Greek Street and found the location of the White House. He also found a grocery store on the street and bought some things. He also asked the boss about the consumption level of the White House. In the words of the boss's envy and hatred, Xian Yaowen got a reply starting from two hundred pounds.

The Land of Fireworks has always been a news distribution center. The ladies there may not be talented in poetry and writing, but they must have ears for all kinds of things. It is very easy to glean useful information from their mouths, but this kind of prying is inseparable. In the Jinyuan offensive, if you don't act generously, people may not pay attention to you.

Before departure, Xian Yaowen converted all the money in the family into pounds. The total amount was only more than 1,400. If he spent only 200 and acted generously, he would still have to spend 500 or 600. For him, the burden was too heavy and his gambling nature It's also relatively large. Once he can't get absolutely useful information, what awaits him is to eat rubbish.

It's okay if you don't want to spend too much money. Madams love money and sisters love beauty. With Xian Yaowen's appearance and a little effort, it's easy to win over a young lady. Not only can he ask for news, but maybe he will be in London. The expenses of the business can be repaid, but it takes time to pick up girls, and Xian Yaowen doesn't have much time, so he needs to be quick.

After standing on the Greek street and thinking for a long time, Xian Yaowen decided to make a compromise and try his luck at a lower-end store in the evening. He couldn't waste the time in the afternoon as he wanted to take a good walk on the street.

Starting from Greek Street, Xian Yaowen quickly shuttled through the streets of London. Along the way, his eyes were like radar, scanning over each pedestrian, observing their mental appearance and their clothing.

When passing a stall on the street, he would stop and walk over to take a look. Whether it was selling silverware or clothes, he would pick it up and look at each one, and ask the price, especially if the stall owner looked down upon him. It was a stall selling women's underwear, and he would shamelessly ask the stall owner which sizes were easier to sell.

At this time, Hong Kong is comparable to the Mainland in the early stages of reform and opening up, with loose policies, low exchange rates, and cheap labor everywhere. In the early stage of starting a business, there is no need to have high industrial and technological levels or unique technology, just a firm grasp of the business. By firmly seizing the labor dividend, using exchange differences to dump overseas, and obtaining the labor value difference from the massive labor force, capital accumulation from 1 to 10, or even 100, can be completed very quickly.

We must act quickly, seize the period when European countries are busy restoring their national strength and focus more on heavy industry, but have not paid much attention to light industry, and there are many loopholes to exploit; seize the period when the Cold War pattern is initially taking shape, and countries around the world are busy launching nuclear weapons. A time of arms race.

During this period, the Empire on which the sun never sets can still bluff people, and the Commonwealth has extensive channels to sell light industrial products to all over the world. At the same time, it can also undertake OEM work for enterprises in countries with high exchange rates. Assuming a labor force A value difference of 100 yuan can be generated in a year, that is, after deducting wages, benefits and other costs every month, there will be a profit surplus of 8.33 yuan. 10 people can create a profit of 1000 million yuan in a year.

Calculated based on Hong Kong’s wage levels at this time, this output ratio is relatively low. If an enterprise can only have this output ratio, it can be classified as a bad enterprise. From another perspective, if the enterprise is not an enterprise, it should be regarded as a charity.

In addition, there must be a place for 10 workers, and the factory must be opened. To open a factory, you need a factory building, and to build a factory, you need land. We are result-oriented. In the process of maintaining the healthy operation of the factory, we will continue to purchase land to ensure The growth of production scale is what the question implies. It is feasible to use taxation and interpersonal relationships to coerce the Hong Kong government to give the green light to the land.

Let’s put all the things in order and form a thread. When the international market does not undergo major changes, Hong Kong’s cheap labor force still exists, and we can enjoy the labor dividends with peace of mind. When the previous two things change, we can sublimate it and have a dividend revolution. From the labor dividend to the small branch real estate dividend of the population dividend, the land acquired before can be put to good use.

Sin Yiu-man is not a greedy person. If he puts out a complete set of punches, he only needs to create hundreds of billions of benefits within thirty years. Hong Kong is too small. If you want to make big money, it will be difficult for it. Do you want to embark on the road of trillions? You have to look at the world.

It's a pity that Xian Yaowen knows how to go from 1 to 100 million, but he lacks practical experience in the small step from 0 to 1, and he doesn't want to go too slowly. Otherwise, the more than yuan earned from selling small yellow croakers is enough to open a small The factory was run on a small budget, and he calculated carefully and took his time step by step, from to , and from to . With his qualifications, it would definitely not be a problem to accumulate one million in three to five years.

Then wait until the day lily is half cold, and take a relatively long time to complete steps 1 to 10. If you have a smooth journey until you are years old, and be a bit cautious, using the stock value as the bulk, you can probably calculate a net worth of tens of billions.

Too slow, really too slow. Xian Yaowen needs a bigger starting point of "1". The bigger, the better. For example, the number 800 million Hong Kong dollars is very auspicious. With this starting point, the road ahead will go fast and smooth.

With ideals behind him and reality at his feet, Xian Yaowen's mind kept spinning and his legs were moving irregularly. He passed by a stall selling women's underwear again and looked at the entire stall. He was sure he didn't see the thong. He has little research on the history of women's underwear, but he has a certain understanding of thongs. He knows that this thing appeared a few years ago, and so far it has nothing to do with women, and it has nothing to do with exposure or sexiness. Relationship, it was originally invented to cover the private parts of burlesque actors who performed in tight pants, and safety pants are brothers.

[Imagine a picture of a man wearing yoga pants, and then imagine a thong on top. The earliest thongs were wider, not a line, and closer to those worn in bodybuilding competitions (those that show off muscles). ]
He plans to wait until the current work is over and study thongs. He should make a good sum of money by turning them into women's fashion. He will also have the opportunity to step into the field of women's underwear. Maybe he can do it in Victoria Harbor in the future. A lingerie show, taking the opportunity to launch a brand - Victoria's Secret.

Xian Yaowen smiled knowingly, then shook his head, put aside the idea of ​​making a prank, and began to think deeply about the idea of ​​underwear.

He thought from the underwear brand to the underwear industry chain, and from the industry chain to the underwear port, making the underwear industry a business card of Hong Kong. It is limited to underwear, rather than expanding to the entire textile industry, and it only takes the road of branding and does not engage in low-price dumping. Because it is a small category, it is insignificant in the light industry chain of a large country and is not prone to trade targeting. Underwear It can survive in the cracks and become Hong Kong's pillar export commodity.

This is one of them.

Secondly, underwear can be extended to fashion. If we work hard in this area, we can completely create the concept of fashion port.

Thirdly, fashion can be extended to the film and television industry, launching a gimmick to create a world film center. If you don't engage in Eastern Hollywood, you will have insufficient confidence at the beginning. No matter how good you are, you are still the third grandson of Hollywood. If you don't brag, it's fine. If you want to brag, just brag. To exaggerate, we want to turn Hollywood into Hong Kong, North America.

Xian Yaowen feels that this gimmick is a bit false and 10,000% useless. The film and television industry is also a continuation of politics. Hong Kong is inherently deficient and no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain. But it doesn’t matter. Whether it succeeds or not is not a problem. As long as this thing is promoted, oil and water will be like Leeks pop up one after another.

Things that can be put on the table include distribution, movie city entertainment projects, film and television real estate, etc.; financial management projects that can only be locked in drawers help community members and detectives manage their capital investments, and help them complete tax compliance and reasonable payment. Avoid taxes, be an honorable taxpayer, and extract a negligible fund management fee and a commission share of the value-added part.

In addition, you can also keep a low profile and formulate a "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" plan with the attitude of doing good deeds without leaving a name, so that Lang Cai and Nv Maang, who are unrelated to each other, can come together to talk about life and talk about life. Ideal, eliminate distrust and barriers between people and between people of the opposite sex, and make society more harmonious.

After thinking about it carefully, Xian Yaowen felt that he had a good idea, but to do this he needed to be high-profile, which was contrary to his character of being shy and open-minded. The thing must be done, but he would not do it himself, but find someone to do it. People who like to be visible in the fame and fortune fair should do it.

Shopping and thinking, the afternoon passed quickly. When the lights were on, Xian Yaowen went to a barber shop to trim his hair, which had been growing for half a month, and styled it. The barber even applied some oil on his head. Unfortunately, The only fly in the ointment is that the unknown brand L'Oreal is used, not the international famous brand Stancom.

After preparing everything, Xian Yaowen bought a German currywurst on the street. When the stall owner was making it, he did not forget to brag that the sausage was snatched by his cousin, a British captain stationed in Berlin, and sent to him. He said he was having fun, and also mentioned that his cousin once had a female beheading competition with a Russian guy.

Regarding the stall owner's words, Xian Yaowen believed the second half but not the first half. The Soviet, American and British armies had done a lot of scandalous things in Berlin back then. Now, the Marshall Plan has been implemented for a year and a half, and a British officer dared to do so in Berlin. Blatantly robbing things is no different than seeking death.

Moreover, when he took one bite of the sausage, he knew it was not German, but made locally. Fortunately, it was sold cheaply, otherwise he would have thrown the sausage in the stall owner's face.

I finished the currywurst while standing on the street, found a window glass to check my appearance, chatted for a while, and smoked half a cigar. After the curry taste in my mouth was covered, I took a taxi to Chengdu. Street nightclub.

From the time he got in the car until the door opened for him and he got out, less than forty seconds passed. The payment process alone took nearly twelve seconds. Even if he came here on his legs, it only took five or six minutes. , taking a taxi here is just to show off your face.

No clue, who made Ciro Nightclub very famous in London, and its quality is on par with the White House, but Ciro is a private venue, and the consumption is more controllable.

Xian Yaowen opened the door and entered the nightclub. A waiter immediately greeted him. After asking about the number of people, he was brought to a table near the T stage.

The T stage is very small, like a rectangular cylinder more than three meters long, about one meter wide, and less than 60 centimeters high, inserted into a disk with a radius of less than one meter. At this time, there is a The model took five steps with cat steps, then turned in a circle, walked two more steps to the circle, stopped, showed off in three directions where there were customers, then returned the same way and walked off the T stage. .

Then another model came on stage.

Xian Yaowen, who had just taken the menu from the waiter, complained, "You really know how to make money. The fees are so expensive, and you even do advertising. You are a human being, and you can't be so ruthless."

The two models were not wearing clothes that were fashion-exploring and that normal people would never wear. Instead, they were wearing coats that could be worn on the street. It was clear that there were sponsors behind them. Xian Yaowen had to say that this was a great idea. , he could definitely plagiarize it in the future, but at this moment, looking at the double-digit prices on the menu, he just wanted to curse.

Pretending to casually flip through two pages of the menu, he ordered a dessert, and blindly ordered a bottle of Sauternes noble rot wine. He maintained his pride. After the waiter left, he turned his eyes to the curtain in front of him as the curtain was slowly opened. On the stage, I saw several female performers standing in a row in the center of the stage. They were wearing strapless or single-strap dresses of different styles and colors. Some were wearing light makeup, and some were wearing heavy makeup.

The female performer on the far side is thin and has a flower on the shoulder straps of her dress and a flower on her waist. She has a somewhat exaggerated make-up on her face, eyebrows that match those of Zhong Kui, and long and upturned false eyelashes. His eyebrows are almost stuck together, his mouth is wide open, and the smile on his face is a bit scary.

The female performer was dressed up like this, but Xian Yaowen did not immediately criticize her. Instead, he carefully looked at her face. This face looked familiar to him. After looking at it for a while, a name came to his mind, "She looks very similar to Princess Anne." Yes, is this Hepburn himself, or someone who looks like him?"

　From 1935 to November 1967, the Hong Kong dollar implemented the pound exchange standard, anchored with the pound, and implemented a fixed exchange rate of 11:16. The exchange rate against other currencies was only pound/1.

　　1949年9月18日，英镑对美元有过一次30.5%的大贬值，导致港币兑美元变成5.714:1，这个汇率基本维持到1967年，期间并无大波动。后文中有涉及美元、港币汇率的情节一般会取整数“5.7”。

　　Book friends who are interested in learning more about the Hong Kong dollar and the Bretton Woods system are asked to search for relevant information on the Hong Kong dollar and the Bretton Woods system. I will not go into details in this article.
