Chapter 227
Pengcheng, Fenghua Group Company.
The sales department's telephone rings incessantly, and the sounds of answering and hanging up the phone are continuous.
As the most well-known Hong Kong-funded enterprise in Pengcheng, Fenghua Group has a big reputation.
The key is that the businesses of the subsidiaries under Fenghua Group are all quite hot.
Like the clothing factory, which specializes in premium A-grade replica clothing, it basically follows an export route.
In this era, that is the representative of high-end!
Many other private clothing factories in Pengcheng are imitating the clothing styles of Fenghua Apparel.
They don't care if it's a high-end imitation of foreign goods; as long as they think it looks good and is popular in the market, they will imitate it again and specialize in domestic sales to make money.
In fact, with Fenghua Apparel as the core, the private clothing enterprises gathered by other imitators have formed a quite large scale.
If nothing else, being able to spread beautiful clothing styles across the north and south is quite extraordinary.
Of course, Fenghua Apparel has not given up on the Mainland market.
It's just that they have adopted a model of commissioning Mainland state-owned clothing factories to produce for them, while finding good provincial-level distributors.
After more than a year of operation, they have developed to cover most of the economically developed regions in the country.
Basically, every provincial capital and famous city in the Mainland has their clothing distribution points.
Because of this, Fenghua Apparel is considered the largest clothing brand in the Mainland.
As for the imitators, Fenghua Apparel has no intention of suppressing them.
As long as they don't provoke them, everyone is in a state of minding their own business!
As the absolute brain of Fenghua Apparel, Wu Feng never had the idea of monopolizing the market from the beginning.
Wanting to monopolize the Mainland clothing market, even if the state came forward at this time, it wouldn't work.
He knows even better that with the continuous opening up of the Mainland, international clothing giants will soon enter.
By then, it will be a bloody storm in the Mainland clothing industry, and whether Fenghua Apparel can still maintain its current advantage is really hard to say.
Of course, as long as the channels are firmly held in their hands, Fenghua Apparel cannot be easily defeated.
In this process, it is very necessary to cultivate a large number of Mainland private clothing manufacturers with combat effectiveness.
When it really comes time to fight with bayonets, these private manufacturers will be at the forefront!
This is also why Fenghua Apparel has not been too harsh on imitators.
Otherwise, every time Fenghua Apparel launches an internationally popular clothing item, it could stir up bloody storms in the Mainland clothing market, but they have never done so.
On the contrary, they have used the method of Mainland stars advertising to make the high-end imitation international popular clothing in their hands as popular as possible in the Mainland.
As long as they keep up with international trends in aesthetics and design, when the real international clothing giants enter, they will face extremely difficult Mainland clothing peers.
Fenghua Apparel doesn't just have high-end imitation clothing; they have also produced many future popular clothing items in Hong Kong, personally designed by Wu Feng, and these popular items are still very competitive.
At the very least, being able to become popular in the Mainland and Hong Kong and Macau later proves the universality of the design.
Anyway, as of now, Fenghua Apparel is not very afraid of direct competition with big international brands.
In fact, the existence of Fenghua Apparel has already affected the normal market share of many big international brands.
Hong Hing Dragon Head Jiang Tiansheng is still quite capable!
Many of Fenghua Apparel's high-end imitation clothes entered the Netherlands through him, and then radiated to the entire Central and Western Europe with the Netherlands as a transit point.
As time passed, the number of premium A-grade goods that Jiang Tiansheng shipped to the Netherlands became more and more.
This has caused the sales of high-priced genuine clothing to be significantly affected.
Don't think that ordinary people in Central and Western Europe are really very rich!
They also want to buy high-quality and inexpensive clothing, but unfortunately, there was no such channel in the past.
Now it's better; the large amount of premium A-grade goods that Jiang Tiansheng brought in completely satisfied their needs.
It can be said that the large amount of premium A-grade clothing flowing into Central and Western Europe through shipping has occupied a significant share of the low-to-mid-end clothing market.
It is just that globalization is not thorough enough at this time, and the clothing industry competition within Europe is a mess.
Those clothing giants don't have much energy to take care of the premium A-grade goods business, otherwise Jiang Tiansheng's shipping business wouldn't be getting bigger and bigger.
It has even formed a partial scale advantage, with more and more forces getting involved, and the energy is getting greater and greater; it won't be easy to clean up in the future.
Ahem, as long as European luxury clothing brands continue to hold the definition of luxury clothing, Fenghua Apparel in Pengcheng will be able to continue operating.
Of course, with the arrival of the Internet wave, it might not be played so recklessly in the future.
The current Pengcheng Fenghua Apparel can be called a standard cash cow.
Every year, it can create a staggering profit of over one billion for Wu Feng.
Currently, Fenghua Apparel's shipping area covers almost the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as most of Europe and America, and it is definitely a giant in the shipping group.
With scale and continuous expansion, the profit it can provide will become greater and greater.
At the very least, before the Mainland joins the WTO, things will only get better!
It can be said that with the rapid rise of Pengcheng Fenghua Apparel, the Mainland's clothing industry has entered a period of accelerated development.
Then, as the upstream materials and the demand for various sewing machines, the stimulation of the development of related domestic industries is also quite rapid.
Especially in the development of sewing machines, Wu Feng also provided a lot of convenience.
Some international second-rate machines were sent to Mainland factories through Hong Kong, both machines and blueprints, and then explored and copied by relevant researchers invited, or innovated upon.
Anyway, the effect is quite good!
Fenghua Group Company invested in several related machinery factories, and the new generation of sewing machines produced are in short supply.
Because Fenghua Group is not a state-owned unit, the specific situation is not very clear.
But Wu Feng can be sure that with the technical improvement of sewing machines brought by Fenghua Group, related parts manufacturing and production factories have all benefited.
In addition, the most source-level textile machinery has a clear trend of technical improvement.
This is the benefit of having a complete industrial chain.
As long as there is sufficient market demand, the upstream and downstream technical industrial chains will develop rapidly.
It is a pity that the scale of the Mainland is too large, so large that the existence of Fenghua Group only helps Pengcheng and the rapid development of related industries, and it is still a bit insignificant for the entire Mainland.
If it were any country in Southeast Asia, the existence of Fenghua Apparel and related sewing machinery industries would be enough to drive the overall economic development of a country; it is not an exaggeration at all.
The titles of the Four Asian Dragons and the Four Asian Tigers represent several East Asian and Southeast Asian countries with rapid economic development at this time.
Let's not talk about the Four Dragons; their economic scale is there, and even if placed in the whole world, they are among the top economies.
But the so-called Four Tigers have a lot of water in them.
A clothing enterprise with an annual profit of one billion Hong Kong dollars is enough to raise the economic level of any of the Four Tigers.
The clothing industry is a standard manufacturing industry, and its gold content is not small.
Even so, Fenghua Apparel is definitely not the only cash cow of Fenghua Group.
Fenghua Electronics is catching up rapidly and soon surpassed the limelight of Fenghua Apparel.
First, it specialized in producing arcade motherboards, which is a business with quite a lot of technical content.
And the added value is quite staggering; the production cost of an arcade motherboard is over 3,000, plus an arcade shell that costs a few hundred, it can easily be sold for a high price of 15,000.
If it is sold to Europe and America, it is even more exaggerated; the selling price of one arcade machine exceeds 30,000 dollars!
It can be said that arcade production is almost the same as robbing money!
The key is that as long as there is a demand for the production of motherboards that store various arcade games, such profiteering can last for a long time; at least until online games are completely popularized, it will be the profiteering period for arcade games.
At this time, the Hong Kong film and television circle was affected and joined the investment in arcade game research and development one after another.
Golden Harvest Company's Kung Fu series arcade games achieved quite good results with the promotion of top Kung Fu stars like Cheng Shilong and Hong Xinbao.
Cheng Shilong's *Asian Flying Eagle* series of arcade games did okay in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Japan and South Korea, selling over 8,000 arcade machines in one go.
There is also the previous *Drunken Fist* series, as well as a collection of numerous Republic of China Kung Fu movies, all of which were made into quite playable horizontal arcade fighting games, and the sales were quite considerable.
Hong Xinbao's *Five Lucky Stars* series, as well as the spiritual Kung Fu series, were also made into arcade games.
Although the sales volume is only on the scale of 3,000 to 5,000 units, they also earned a lot.
Cinema City's *The Killer*, as well as *City on Fire* and other arcade games, also sold over 5,000 units, and they also made a lot of money.
Even Shaw Brothers, which has already stopped production, made arcade games through the redevelopment and utilization of classic old Kung Fu movies filmed in the past, and they also have certain sales, with at least 3,000 units sold.
In addition to arcade games made from action movies of the same name filmed by other film and television companies in Hong Kong, there is also no lack of brilliant small hits.
Hong Kong at this time can really be called the center of arcade games on a global scale!
Various arcade games with high playability are emerging one after another, and their reputation in the entire Asian region is not small.
There are even many foreign tourists who come to Hong Kong for tourism specifically for the numerous arcade games.
There is no other reason; there are many arcade games that can only be played here in Hong Kong.
This also led to the arcade factory under Fenghua Group having a booming business.
Even many Hong Kong businessmen and smart people in the Mainland have begun to prepare to build new arcade factories.
In fact, the largest market for arcade games is in the Mainland!
It's just that the bulk of the production of Fenghua Electronics Company under Wu Feng is currently placed on exports.
As for the Mainland market, his interest is not very great.
Of course, similar to the clothing factory, supporting a few underlings is still possible.
Anyway, by around 1990, pirated arcade motherboards in the Mainland began to flood the market.
By then, whether it will impact the Fenghua Electronics factory is a certainty!
Of course, as long as new arcade games can be provided continuously, the business of Fenghua Electronics factory will not have any major problems; at most, the profit of one arcade machine will decline.
In fact, with the popularity of the Hong Kong arcade industry, both in Hong Kong and here in Pengcheng, many small arcade game R&D studios have appeared.
Especially in universities, there are many such studios, and it is also an important source for many college students to start businesses and earn their first pot of gold.
As long as you can provide good story ideas, you might be able to develop a hit arcade game.
Even if you cannot participate in the sales share of the whole machine, just the red envelope and buyout income are at least tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.
In 1988, such income was quite considerable.
In Hong Kong, it is enough for college students to spend their college life comfortably and add a heavy stroke to their resumes; in the future, whether looking for a job or continuing to develop new arcade games, it is a very good qualification.
If it were in the Mainland, it would be a huge wealth!
A small hit arcade game also has the possibility of developing film and television copyrights, as well as novel and comic copyrights, which is another extra fee.
Wu Feng himself did not expect that because he guided the arcade development wave, Hong Kong added a way to get rich outside of traditional industries, giving capable young people a very good opportunity.
That is really a channel where as long as you have a smart brain, you can get rich.
It is an industry that even those old-fashioned Chinese tycoons and so-called British-funded consortia cannot monopolize.
From the beginning, Wu Feng set a very favorable reward measure as a benchmark.
His game R&D company has been purchasing good game ideas and concepts at high prices from the outside since its inception.
Many lucky people and studios have really earned considerable income through the model of selling game ideas, and there are even reports in Hong Kong financial magazines.
Other game development companies founded later naturally can only follow suit and recruit good game ideas at high prices, otherwise no one will pay attention to them at all.
This industry has been quite formal and high-income from the beginning.
Without those messy things, it naturally became the first choice for many aspiring young people to get rich.
Wu Feng himself didn't know that because he promoted the development of Hong Kong's arcade game industry and also set a good benchmark for game R&D companies, Hong Kong college students have a very good impression of him.
There are many universities in Hong Kong, and the families of most students can only be said to be very average.
Why are Hong Kong college students most keen on becoming lawyers and doctors?
Isn't it just that for these two professions, as long as you are willing to learn and work hard, you will definitely be rewarded.
As long as you have a formal license, life will be better than that of ordinary people in Hong Kong.
But the number of college graduates in Hong Kong every year is not small, and a small Hong Kong simply cannot accommodate them.
Traditional industries in Hong Kong, whether real estate or finance, are monopolized by those large groups, basically not giving geniuses among ordinary people a chance.
It is also because of this that many large groups and enterprises in Hong Kong have ordinary white-collar workers who at least have college degrees, which looks exaggerated but is actually a waste of talent.
If possible, every college student hopes that their work and life will be comfortable and stylish.
As for the Mainland, it can only be said that Fenghua Electronics Company is quite formal.
The benefits that should be given will not be less!
But as for the situation of peers, Fenghua Electronics Company has no way to influence it.
This time, the Bubugao learning machine and game console produced by Fenghua Electronics is another hit product.
From the moment it was launched on the market, there was a scene of short supply.
The situation this time is different; the demand in the Mainland market is simply too staggering.
There is simply not much production capacity to give to external channels for sales.
Distributors from all over the place, as well as interested people who heard the news, almost blocked the factory gate; as soon as a batch was produced, it was immediately snatched up.
Regarding this, the senior management of Fenghua Electronics is quite helpless!
They have already been spoiled, and in fact, they do not attach much importance to the Mainland market.
Isn't the dollar fragrant? It's just that the current situation does not allow them to think too much.
