Masayoshi Kishimoto, Kiyoshi Kobayashi and others appeared in the waiting hall of Tokyo Narita International Airport. They were about to take a flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong.

Neither Kishimoto Masayoshi nor Kobayashi Kiyoshi entered the VIP waiting room and sat side by side on the soft chairs in the waiting hall. Both of them valued things that showed their personal identity and social status.

Masayoshi Kishimoto leaned on the back of the chair, looked towards the other party slightly, raised his legs and chatted: "How much do you know about Hong Kong?"

"I'm going to tell you, this is the first time I've been to Hong Kong." Kobayashi Kiyoshi said the truth.

"Hong Kong is a paradise for the rich and hell for the poor. This aspect is similar to Tokyo. Hong Kong is known as the pearl of the East, with a city that is rich and prosperous, but it is also one of the regions with the largest gap between the rich and the poor in the world.

Its economic lifeline is mainly concentrated on Hong Kong Island. The most unfair point is that Hong Kong does not have inheritance tax. It is obvious that the rich are getting richer and their descendants are protected by their ancestors.

You think Tokyo is a mini kingdom, with small places for rent in the middle and lower classes, and Hong Kong will make you discover that they live smaller. There is a saying that Hong Kong people teased themselves that pigs live more spaciously than them.

Rich people live on the top of the mountain, wealthy middle class live on the hillside, and ordinary citizens live in elevator apartments at the foot of the mountain. As for the poor, they live in coffins and pigeon cages in old tenement buildings at the foot of the mountain.

Or, it is normal for a family of five or six people to live on the rooftop. It is a normal thing to live in a house of more than 20 square meters.

Many young people get married and live separately at their parents' homes. The per capita residential area in Hong Kong is defined by UNESCO as challenging the bottom line and dignity of being a human being." Masayoshi Kishimoto briefly introduced it.

"President, aren't you joking with me?" Although Kobayashi Kiyoshi had never been to Hong Kong before, he also knew that many Japanese people like to choose to travel and vacation in Hong Kong.

"You see, I don't look like I'm laughing, but I'm not kidding. The reason why Hong Kong lost its former position as the center of manufacturing industry and became what it is now is that its government implemented a strategy of de-hollowing the industrial, which has caused many manufacturing industries in Hong Kong to migrate to the northward mainland in the past.

In this way, it can be imagined that those low-education and low-skilled personnel will find it difficult to find a suitable job. Even if they find it, they will not get a good salary. In addition, factors such as rising prices caused by inflation, the lives of low-income groups will be more and more difficult.

In this regard, Singapore is better than Hong Kong. The former’s upper-level elites know that no matter how the city develops, it is always necessary to solve the employment problems of low-end people.

Otherwise, the entire city will not be able to operate. Therefore, Singapore is not as committed to de-industrial hollowing out and blindly building an international status as a financial center like Hong Kong.

Singapore’s public housing plan is also precise and advocates that residents have their own houses. Nowadays, several famous slum areas in Hong Kong are Tin Shui Wai, Tung Chung, and Chongqing Building.

In the past, Kowloon City Walled slum was famous all over the world and was also one of the representatives of a poor culture and economy.

However, before returning to mainland China, Hong Kong was forcibly demolished by the British. Hong Kong's poverty rate was similar to that of Tokyo.

In addition to the gap between the rich and the poor year by year, the official data on the poor have been maintained at one-sixth of the level of the poor year by year. "Masayoshi Kishimoto said slowly.

When Kobayashi Kiyoshi heard the president say this, he suddenly became much more enlightened. Why did the other party set up his office in Hong Kong? It was also thoughtful.

Otherwise, how could Shimoto Masayoshi know so much? This involves many aspects of Hong Kong society.

"I'm still very curious, President, why did you decide to set up your first office to enter China in Hong Kong?

According to the habits and traditions of Japanese companies entering the Chinese market, they always prefer to set up their first stronghold in either Dalian or the Magic City.” Kobayashi Kiyoshi asked curiously.

"Hong Kong people speak Cantonese, while Guangdong people also speak Cantonese. The latter also has two of the four first-tier cities in China. Many companies in mainland China always show a cautious side when they want to take a step away from home.

They often take the Hong Kong window to look outside first and learn more about international affairs and rules of affairs.

Mainland China is a human society, and state monopoly capitalism is not only different from Hong Kong, but also completely different from the social systems of Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and major developed countries in Europe and the United States.

They pay attention to finding relationships and going to the back door. If the Yangtze River is bounded, the more serious it will be in the north, while the Vietnamese side will accept the modern market-oriented economy." Masayoshi Kishimoto talked freely.

"Shame. I, the person in charge of investment, don't know much about the actual situation of these aspects you said by President." Kobayashi Kiyoshi was not intending to flatter, and I sincerely admire him.

Masayoshi Kishimoto waved his hand at him with a smile. He was a Chinese in his previous life, and can he not know what happened to China?

Especially after he read "The Deep Structure of Chinese Culture" written by Sun Longji in his previous life, he also became much more open-minded in his thoughts at that time.

"It's basically like that in South Korea. We focus on the relevant online game industry on one hand and the real estate industry on the other.

As for the investment direction and focus of our Hard Gold Group in the next 20 years, one is to focus on emerging markets such as mainland China, and the other is to focus on mature markets such as the United States that have high-tech technologies. "Masayoshi Kishimoto is very clear about the strategic development direction of his group company in the future.

Kobayashi Kiyoshi understood the president's strategic intentions very well. This was not only repeated by him at the group company's senior management meeting, but also showed quite high standards in the composition of the personnel they went to Hong Kong this time. It can be seen that Masayoshi Kishimoto attached great importance to entering the mainland Chinese market.

"Since the president attaches so much importance to investment in the mainland Chinese market, he should not just send Rumiko Kato to the place." Kobayashi Kiyoshi expressed his own opinion.

"The Hong Kong office is just one of our outposts. The main job is to collect relevant information and to properly contact some companies with huge potential in mainland China.

In the future, I will set up offices of Hard Gold Group in four first-tier cities in mainland China. At that time, I will send people there.

Today's Chinese government has given foreign capital a lot of preferential treatment, especially in terms of tax reduction and exemption," said Kishimoto Masayoshi calmly.

Kiyoshi Kobayashi understood the president's far-sighted intention, so he no longer objected to Rumiko Kato's position as head of the Hong Kong office.

"At present, the thing that worries me the most is the lack of talents within our group company. None of the newcomers behind me have followed.
