Rise up Hong Kong! Build a super wealthy Zhuang family
Chapter 18 Determine the industry you want to enter and develop
Zhuang Rongxu still got up early the next day.
Although he drank a lot with the rich second generation at Anjia last night and was already in a dire state when he returned home, he still woke up early in the morning.
Live forever.
He deeply understands the importance of health. Without a good body, it will be useless for him to make more money in the future. He can at least live to be decent until he is 90 years old.
Therefore, he is now accustomed to starting to exercise every morning and letting several bodyguards teach him some methods to strengthen his body.
Don't even say it.
During this period, Zhuang Rongxu followed the methods taught by Long Yi and others every morning.
Not to mention the body muscles, I must have developed the vest line, and it won't be a waste of time.
The most important thing is that he clearly feels that his body is very different, relaxed and comfortable.
He also has a certain ability to fight with others. If an ordinary person is singled out, Zhuang Rongxu is very confident and can defeat him easily. Even if he is asked to face two or three ordinary people alone, he is brave enough to fight.
If Zhuang Rongxu believes that he continues to practice according to the teachings of Long Yi and the others, he will also be very strong.
At least he still has the ability to protect himself.
"Second brother, you are training again. Why are you working so hard recently and training every day?"
"Why did you come in without knocking, Yu Ling, you have grown up now, you can't just enter the second brother's room, you know?"
"Oh, I know, mommy asked you to go down for breakfast." Zhuang Rongxu's younger sister, Zhuang Yuling, responded.
"Well, I understand. You go down first. I'll go down later."
"good."
After a while, Zhuang Rongxu washed up, got dressed, and walked downstairs. He saw his younger brother Zhuang Rongqi and his younger sister Zhuang Yuling there, but his parents were not there.
"Where are mom and dad?"
"I heard that I went to see an old friend. I don't know when he will come back."
"Well, you guys are free today, so I'll take you out for shopping, right?"
"Really? Second brother, I want to buy a nice shirt."
"Second brother, I want to buy a tape player. Can I play Zhang Guorong's tape album?"
"Tape Drives?"
suddenly…….
Zhuang Rongxu was stunned by the term "younger brother", "Tape player, CD, Walkman?"
"Hey, it's December 1979, isn't Sony's Walkman going to be on the market?"
Originally, Zhuang Rongxu had not thought about what industry he wanted to enter in the future, but now that he heard his younger brother talk about getting a tape machine, it made him think about which industries have been popular in the past two years and which industries are the most profitable.
On December 30, 1979, Sony released the first "Walkman", which was loved by millions.
However, although the first-generation Walkman was very popular, due to production problems and price reasons, Sony's first-generation Walkman did not really open up the global market. Zhuang Rongxu remembers that Sony's Walkman was released only after the second-generation WM-2 was launched. Really popular all over the world.
The second-generation Walkman was officially launched in February 1981, and instantly ignited sales in R country and even around the world.
In just one month, more than 100,000 Walkman units were sold in country R alone.
Total global sales exceeded 1.5 million units.
Moreover, the Walkman was sold at a very high price at that time, a full $199.
Based on the exchange rate of R dollars to U.S. dollars in the 1980s, 1 U.S. dollar could be exchanged for 250 R dollars, which means that an ordinary Walkman would cost close to 50,000 R dollars, which is quite expensive.
You must know that the average white-collar salary in Hong Kong in the 1980s was just over 1,000, and the average worker did not even have 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. The exchange rate of 199 U.S. dollars in 1980 for Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars was more than 6.1.
This means that a Walkman costs more than 1,200 Hong Kong dollars, which almost costs an ordinary white-collar worker one month's salary.
Why isn't it expensive?
Ordinary workers can't even afford it with one month's salary. At this price, many people are indeed not willing to spend so much money to buy it. After all, in the 1980s, many people and families could not solve the problem of food and clothing.
How could you spend so much money on this thing?
However, it was able to sell 1.5 million units worldwide, which is very successful for Sony.
One unit costs US$199, and sales of 150 units are equivalent to US$300 million in sales.
Even if the cost is half, you can still make $150 million.
How much was $150 million in 1980?
It is so big that your family will not have to worry about food and drink for a lifetime, and you will not be able to spend all your money for a lifetime.
"That's all. It's definitely too late to compete with Sony for the first-generation Walkman, but..." Zhuang Rongxu smiled happily. He already knew what industry he was going to enter next.
"Let's go, I will satisfy you today and give you everything you want." Zhuang Rongxu was so happy that he directly agreed to all their conditions.
"Yes, great."
Two hours later.
Three siblings appeared in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island.
In 1979, Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island was already a lively and prosperous street, with various luxury brands and well-known brands settling here.
On this street, as long as you have money, you can buy anything.
"Second brother, there is a tape player store in front of you. Let's go and have a look." Zhuang Rongxu led them over excitedly.
It can be seen that she has been eyeing this tape machine for a long time, otherwise how could she be so familiar with the specialty store.
Zhuang Rongxu understood the situation of his brothers and sisters very well. Although he was born into a prominent family, all of them never had any extra pocket money, let alone any luxury goods.
Even if they just want a little more pocket money, it doesn't work. Their money is just enough for food, and they won't give out any more, and sometimes it's not even enough.
so…….
Although they were born into famous families, they never really lived the life of a prince or princess.
Zhuang Rongxu's thoughts on this are different from his father's. What he needs is that his family can not worry about any money matters.
Since we live in this material world, we must be inseparable from financial worries, so why bother to fight against this short few decades of life.
Unless his brothers and sisters really just want to live a plain life without pursuing money, then Zhuang Rongxu will respect them.
Will also give them enough freedom.
"Second brother, it costs more than 400 Hong Kong dollars to buy one for me, do you really want to buy it for me?" His younger sister Zhuang Yuling asked in disbelief.
More than 400 Hong Kong dollars is definitely a lot of money to her, so she asked her brother this question.
"Silly girl, we don't want this one, let's take this one." Zhuang Rongxu said, pointing to the tape drive with a price tag of HK$999 above.
"Second brother, that's the latest model. It costs 999 Hong Kong dollars." Zhuang Yuling looked at the tape player, her expression clearly showing her liking.
"I'll give you 99,000 as a gift for my sister, just this one." Zhuang Rongxu said grandly.
"Yes, brother, you are great."
"Boss, help me try out this machine. If there's no problem, wrap it up."
"Okay, but boss, a batch of better music machines just arrived here today, called Walkmans. I spent a lot of manpower and material resources to get these in Tokyo. Are you interested in taking a look?"
"Is the Walkman already on sale?" Zhuang Rongxu asked in surprise.
He remembered that the Walkman was not available until the early 1980s. How could it be available now?
"You actually know about the Walkman music player?" The boss also asked curiously.
"Of course, but isn't this Walkman not yet on the market?" Zhuang Rongxu asked directly.
"Hahaha, you are behind on the news. The Walkman has been put on sale in advance and is now selling very well in Tokyo. Let me show you."
After a while, the boss actually brought out a brand new Sony Walkman music machine.
"The boss is so capable."
"Hahaha, award, award, award."
"How much?"
"You are the first customer. It's cheaper for you. I'll give you 2,000 Hong Kong dollars."
"Boss, you are too shady. The pre-sale price of the Walkman in Tokyo is 199 US dollars, which is less than 1,300 Hong Kong dollars. You want 2,000?"
"Experts, yes, but you made a mistake in your calculations. These goods of mine do not come from normal channels. I need to pay others to get them."
"In addition, the cost price will be higher, so the sales price of HKD 2,000 is considered low. If you were not the first customer, I would definitely charge HKD 2,500."
After hearing this, Zhuang Rongxu knew that what the boss said was true. These goods were scalpers or black market goods. The 2,000 Hong Kong dollars were indeed almost the same price.
"Okay, give me one."
It's just 2,000 Hong Kong dollars. To him, it's nothing. As long as it can make his sister happy, he will give it 20 million. Of course, that's only if he has money.
