2410 [Half-year Review (Part 1)]

After returning to Hong Kong, Xia Tian mainly arranged the company's plans for the second half of the year.

In fact, he had already made the corresponding instructions in the first half of the year. Now he mainly checked the results and saw how they implemented them.

After some inspection, Xia Tian was more satisfied with several companies including Tianxia Real Estate, Tianxia Hotel, Tianxia Food, Tianxia Finance.

These companies followed his instructions and did a very good job.

Like Tianxia Real Estate, it is now stockpiling land in the mainland. Yanjing, Magic City, Guangzhou, Dizhen, Chang'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou... all major cities in the country are involved. Moreover, the scale of land stockpiling has surged from 2,000 hectares at the beginning of the year to 2,500 hectares now, an increase of 25%.

Tianxia Hotel is now mainly building hotels in the mainland, and its main focus is five-star high-end hotels. Because in summer, it is just to build Tianxia Hotel into a high-end brand in the hotel industry, just like Hilton Hotel and Marriott Hotel.

When customers hear the name of Tianxia Hotel, they will naturally feel high-end, grand, respectful and trustworthy from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, Tianxia Hotel is built with a five-star hotel, dedicated to creating high-end brands.

Xia Tian knows that with the rise of the mainland economy in the future, the high-end consumer market will expand rapidly.

Like Moutai aged wines worth thousands of yuan per bottle, presidential suites worth tens of thousands of yuan a night, brand-name bags worth tens of thousands of yuan, expensive watches worth hundreds of thousands of yuan... these will be in short supply. So don’t think that the mainland economy is backward now and there is no future in running a five-star hotel. It is actually a big mistake.

...

Tianxia Food, this year, still follows Xia Tian’s instructions. On the one hand, it seizes the time to lay out channels, extends the channels as much as possible, and strives to set up sales points in every township;

On the one hand, it is to increase production capacity. In the future, the consumption level in the mainland will be upgraded, and the market faced by Tianxia Food will expand rapidly, so it must be accelerated, otherwise the market will be snatched away by other manufacturers.

For example, people in the 1990s rarely bought mineral water or pure water. Usually, they drank water, boiled water in a pot, and then made tea to drink it. But by the new century, more and more people drank mineral water and pure water.

For example, if you want to drink, many families only buy it during the holidays. But by the new century, who doesn’t have a few bottles in the refrigerator?

I still remember that when I was a child, I felt happy to eat instant noodles. But when I grew up, I had no money for a while and had to eat instant noodles every day. When I smelled that smell, I wanted to vomit.

This is the change brought about by consumption upgrading. This is also the huge change brought about by China's rapid economic development.

Many European and American countries have entered developed countries since World War II, and their living standards will not change much within decades, so the food market in European and American countries has changed very slowly.

McDonald's, KFC, Coca-Keep, Pepsi, etc. were the dominant players of the American food industry decades ago. After decades, their status is still unshakable. Moreover, their formula remains unchanged for decades, and it still has the same old flavor.

In comparison, the food market in the mainland has changed greatly. Twenty years ago, eating KFC and McDonald's was like the New Year for children. But now, KFC and McDonald's have been declining for many years. Twenty years ago, the big brand frog was the leader of China's food industry. But now it is a voice of bad luck.

The reason for this is that they have not kept up with the pace of market upgrading and have not kept a close eye on the needs of consumers, so they gradually retreated and were taken advantage of by latecomers to occupy the market.

Therefore, Xia Tian told Xie Chongming not to take it lightly, to observe market changes at any time and make appropriate responses. Otherwise, he would be eliminated by the market.

...

In terms of world finance, we have now successfully opened a representative office in the mainland.

Although they can only do market research, consultation, and contact business, and cannot engage in commercial businesses such as deposits and withdrawals, loans, and financial management, after having a representative office, it still brings a lot of convenience.

Just like now, Bank of East Asia has carried out business with mainland companies. Many of their overseas funds are circulated through Bank of East Asia, and even entrust Bank of East Asia to manage their finances.

This is a good thing for the company.

In addition, Tianxia Finance has also set up locations in Taiwan, Fusang, Xinggang, South Korea and other places. Doing so is to expand the market and increase financing channels on the one hand; on the other hand, to expand its influence in East Asia.

Finance is the lifeblood of a country and is crucial.

The other main reason why the United States has shown its strength, technological level and number of allies in the world is that it controls most of the global financial markets.

It can even destroy a country, region, and even the global economy without bloodshed.

For example, Soros sniped the British pound, forcing the UK to launch the European exchange rate system; sniped the Thai baht, Indonesian rupiah, etc., causing the Asian financial crisis. Until now, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries have not yet recovered; the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007 swept the world, making all countries pay for it.

If Tianxia Finance sets up points in these countries and regions, it can continuously penetrate and invade the financial markets in these places, and ultimately achieve the purpose of affecting the financial markets in the region.

Once that stage is reached, summer can basically call the wind and rain.

...

What made Xia Tian basically satisfied were Tianxia Clothing, Tianxia Technology, Tianxia Publishing, Tianxia Entertainment and other branches.

Tianxia Clothing, what he is satisfied with is the speed of opening branches. Today, Tianxia Clothing stores have opened 5,000 stores around the world, covering six continents.

However, what he was not satisfied with was that the quality of the clothes produced by Tianxia Clothing had declined recently, which he could not tolerate.

You should know that it is difficult to build customer confidence. But it is easy to destroy customer confidence.

Unpleasant shopping, problems with clothing quality at a time, and even a word or look from a shopping guide may cause dissatisfaction among customers and will not come again in the future.

Therefore, quality problems must not occur. This is a high-voltage line and must not be touched.

He has instructed Wan Feng, the general manager of Tianxia Clothing, to make a profound review of this, strictly investigate the responsible persons, and deduct the monthly bonuses of relevant persons to observe the results.

...

In terms of world technology, the good news that Xia Tian was satisfied was that he instructed Dr. Sun Yansheng to successfully develop a prototype.

But the trouble is that the current mp3 capacity is too small, only eight megabytes. If you store songs, you can only store four or five songs. If you force it, the sound quality will be greatly affected.
