Facing Li Fuhe's unabashed appreciation, although Chen Yi was calm on the surface, he was embarrassed in his heart.

According to normal development, with the increase of labor costs in Xiangjiang, the manufacturing industry will definitely be severely impacted. Let alone the garment industry, it is the same as other industries.

The more prosperous Hong Kong's economy is, the more difficult it is for the manufacturing industry to survive.

Why?

the reason is simple

Most of Xiangjiang's manufacturing industries are engaged in low-end industries with low technological content and low profits. Once labor costs increase, enterprises will have no profit margins and will naturally be unable to survive.

This point is not only clear to Chen Yi, a latecomer, but also bigwigs like Li Fuhe understand in their hearts that the financial industry is the core of the economic market in a region, and no industry knows the direction of the economic market better than the financial industry.

Li Fuhe is the general manager of the Bank of East Asia, and the Li family is a banking family. He will not fail to understand this, and he will not see it clearly.

However, the fact that Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry cannot survive does not mean that entrepreneurs cannot survive. There is never a shortage of opportunities in this world.

The reason why Xiangjiang can become the Asian financial center in later generations is very simple, that is, the inland.

As the inland's early external window, Xiangjiang has a huge market and demographic dividend support from the inland population of more than one billion people.

The well-known model of shop in front and factory in back not only supported countless Xiangjiang enterprises, but also drove the early economic development of inland areas.

Front shop and back factory:

In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong and Macao took advantage of overseas trade windows to undertake overseas orders, engage in the manufacture and development of new products and new processes, supply raw materials and original devices, control product quality, carry out marketing and external sales, and play the role of "store". .

The Zhujiang Delta region, on the other hand, takes advantage of land, natural resources and labor force to process, manufacture and assemble products, playing the role of a "factory".

Hong Kong and Macao are in the front, and the Zhujiang Delta is in the back. The two places cooperate closely with each other, so they are vividly called "shops in front and factories in back".

The unique economic model of a store in the front and a factory in the back makes full use of the complementary advantages of the two places, realizes a strong alliance, and promotes the rapid economic development of the two regions.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the Zhujiang Delta region took advantage of its superior geographical location close to Hong Kong and Macao to actively develop an export-oriented economy, accept the industrial proliferation of Hong Kong and Macao nearby, and introduce a large amount of foreign capital (of the foreign capital introduced in the Pearl River Delta region, Hong Kong and Macao accounted for 74% above).

At the same time, it has also introduced advanced technical equipment, management methods and the latest industrial and technological information, and established a large number of processing and manufacturing enterprises that require a large number of labor forces, such as textile and clothing manufacturing, electronic and communication equipment manufacturing, and electrical machinery. And equipment manufacturing, toy manufacturing, etc.

A large number of light industrial products produced in Zhujiang Delta are exported to Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, America, Oceania and other places through Hong Kong and Macao trade channels, which has greatly improved the internationalization level of trade in Zhujiang Delta.

During this process, Xiangjiang also took advantage of the situation to complete the transformation, focusing on the financial service industry, replacing Tokyo, the largest city in the island country, and becoming the Asian financial center after New York in the United States and London in the United Kingdom.

It can be said that after the inland reform and opening up, Xiangjiang Manufacturing did not suffer too much impact. Instead, relying on the cheap labor and resources in the inland, it has improved to a higher level and stood out in the global market competition.

Chen Yi would definitely not say these things in a foolish manner.

Of course, even if he said it, no one would believe it.

After all, when it comes to politics, especially the politics of major powers, you are not something that ordinary people can understand.

Li Fuhe nodded in satisfaction and said: "The analysis is in place, and the vision is also very long-term. I have to say, I underestimated you before."

After Li Fuhe finished speaking, he turned his head to look at his niece. Seeing that the other party also had a surprised expression on his face, a thought came to him involuntarily.

However, this idea cannot be said for the time being.

"Sit here for a while, I'll ask someone to bring something over."

After finishing speaking, Li Fuhe left the two of them alone in the office.

After Li Fuhe went out, Chen Yi turned his head to look at Li Weiya, put on a narcissistic expression, and said, "If you keep staring at me like this, I will really become proud."

"Virtue" Li Weiya rolled her eyes, then withdrew her gaze, changed the subject and said, "Tell me, will my second uncle agree?"

After talking so much nonsense just now, Chen Yi was so thirsty that he drank two cups of tea before saying, "I dare not say 100%, but at least 90%."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yi found that Li Weiya was staring at him firmly again, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you looking at me like that again?"

Li Weiya's head was full of black lines: "You took my cup."

Chen Yi waved his hand generously and said, "It doesn't matter, I don't mind if you drink it."

Li Weiya: "..."

Li Weiya was defeated by Chen Yi's rascal, and decided not to finish talking to him.

Li Weiya didn't speak, and Chen Yi was happy to relax. He said so much just now, his mouth was dry, and he didn't want to be in Balabala.

Without keeping the two of them waiting for too long, after going out for a while, Li Fuhe walked into the office with some documents in his hand.

Li Fuhe put some documents in front of Chen Yi, and said: "There are five garment factories here, three of which have garment export quotas, and at the same time, the five garment factories have ten to dozens of stores in Xiangjiang, you can choose one of them .”

After finishing speaking, Li Fuhe couldn't help reminding: "Do what you can, don't be too greedy."

Chen Yi nodded his head, expressing his understanding that he could not become a big fat man with one mouthful, and it would be bad if he took too many strides.

Seeing this, Li Weiya also reached out to take a piece of information, and looked at it carefully. The large-scale garment factories in Xiangjiang basically have more than 100 employees, and those with less than 100 employees are basically impossible to have garment export quotas.

Only garment factories with hundreds or thousands of employees have export quotas for ready-made garments.

Although the garment industry occupies a large part of the Hong Kong manufacturing industry and has the largest number of people, most of them are tailor shops with two or three people.

Of the five documents, Chen Yi only looked at three. He didn't even glance at the garment factories without export quotas for ready-made garments. Xiangjiang has a population of millions. Although the market is not small, it can afford dozens or even hundreds of dollars for a piece of clothing. groups are not many.

Therefore, overseas markets must not be given up.

Without export quotas for ready-made garments, the garments produced can only be sold to exporters, which will inevitably lead to middlemen earning the price difference.

This is not allowed by Chen Yi. The other three have more than 300 people, and there are 20 to 50 stores, and the prices are within his acceptable range.
