There is an old saying: Birds of a feather flock together, and things divide into groups.

Whether in the East or the West, circle culture is very popular. Later generations were coaxed by conspiracy theorists on the Internet and became the boss behind the scenes who truly control the world, the Freemasons, which is a relatively long-standing upper-class private social circle in Europe and the United States.

There are three most famous social circles in Hong Kong, namely the Golf Club, the Yacht Club and the Jockey Club. In particular, the latter became popular all over Hong Kong because of the word "gambling".

Every horse racing day, the horse farm is crowded with people, and the lively atmosphere is not inferior to the outdoor stands outside. Jockey Club members either take their whole family or invite friends and customers to watch the competition while enhancing their feelings.

Before Zhou Yang could talk to the Pang brothers, a group of people flocked to the private room. The Pang family’s ancestral home is the port city in eastern Guangdong Province, and the earliest ship king in Hong Kong, Xu Aizhou, was also from the port city, so the relationship between the two families is relatively close.

Xu Aizhou is a generation older than Pang Dingyuan, but he has passed away for many years. The second and third brothers of the Xu family are now a few years younger than Pang Dingyuan.

He came over to say goodbye to Mrs. Pang, the eldest son of the third brother Xu Shixun. Unlike Pang Dingyuan, who devoted most of his energy to his career and was not interested in horse racing, Xu Shixun, who was born in a rich second generation, has been very keen on horse racing since he was young. He has more than ten horse racing horses in service and is a famous horse owner in Hong Kong.

The Xu family had abandoned their boats and landed in the 1960s. The family's wealth had mainly been transferred to rent collection and owned a large number of real estate properties in Central, Hong Kong. Like his father, Xu Jinggan, in addition to his favorite horse racing, was usually low-key.

On the contrary, his younger brother was a celebrity in entertainment novels later generations because he won the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Li Jiaxin. Of course, that happened more than ten years later. Xu Jingheng is not in Hong Kong now, but is still studying in the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Unlike the children of the middle class in Hong Kong who generally go to the Commonwealth to study, most of the wealthy families in Hong Kong go to the United States to study. After all, they have no worries about finding a job, so they naturally don’t need to pay attention to their education and whether they can be recognized by the Hong Kong government.

Since Xu Jinggan came to greet his mother intently, Pang Xi naturally couldn't help but express his feelings. So he simply went to the service desk to order a circle of foreign wine and personally delivered it to Xu Jinggan's private room with his cousin Pang Ye.

Regardless of whether these young men have nostrils in front of others, when they interact with friends in the circle with the same background, they mostly smile, be polite, and look very well-educated.

At the invitation of Pang Xi, Zhou Yang also went to Xu Jinggan's box with shame and took the opportunity to meet a group of new friends. Xu Jinggan also had a racing horse under his name in the afternoon, so he specially invited several friends to watch the game.

Because there were no older parents here, everyone was having fun in Xu Jing's private room. Zhou Yang was not in a hurry to return to the Pang family's private room, but stayed here for a while.

The people in the box have a good reputation. For example, the middle-aged man wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses next to Zhou Yang. He looks gentle is Ding Wushou, the second son of Ding Xiongzhao, the "battery king" in Hong Kong.

The Ding family has also left traces of its own in the history of China's reform and opening up. From the early 1970s, his family expanded from battery production to toy manufacturing, and the famous "Keda Girl" worked in his toy factory.

Ding Wushou graduated from the University of Illinois in the United States. In order to open up the toy market in the United States, he goes to New York almost every year. This is somewhat similar to Zhou Yang before time travel, except that he was just a worker, and he was a big boss with assets of over 100 million yuan.

"In my opinion, light industry industries such as clothing and watches, which have low entry barriers, are often the most fierce in the mid- and low-end markets, and can only rely on price wars to break out a path.

However, price wars are at the cost of giving up profits, and it is naturally not the best way to do so. Therefore, products such as clothing and watches must explore their added value. Watches exported from Hong Kong are sold for tens of Hong Kong dollars each, while Rolex watches in Switzerland are often hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Although the movement of the Rolex watch is more precise, its cost is no less than 10,000 times that of Hong Kong local watches.

The reason why luxury goods are sold at a high price is the brand premium. Even if you use the same movement and case as Rolex, consumers will still not buy it.

I think the same is true for the toy industry. Companies like Lego and Hasbro are asked to find you to produce and then put on their brands, and the sales price will be much more expensive than similar products you export yourself!”

Zhou Yang, who was born in the market, has the biggest advantage of being a wide range of knowledge and can talk about it for a few words whether it is a human or a ghost.

"Mr. Zhou did say the point, but to really build a brand, the initial investment is huge, but the final result may not be satisfactory, and the risk is also very large.

My elder brother had similar ideas a few years ago, but he was afraid that he would lose the foundation accumulated by his father by taking the wrong step, so he couldn't make up his mind in the end." Ding Wushou shook his head and sighed.

"As the saying goes, it is easy to know and difficult to do. I just stand and speak without a pain in my waist." Zhou Yang said self-deprecatingly, "But there are still differences between toys and clothes and watches. In fact, there is a way to save the country through curves."

"Oh? Then I have to listen to Mr. Zhou's opinions!" Ding Wushou still had a polite smile on his face.

"For toys, the most important thing than brands is intellectual property. Why is the brand important? Because parents are concerned about quality when choosing toys for their children, their trust in famous brands must be higher than that of miscellaneous brands.

But the real users of toys are children rather than parents. Do you think they will care about what brand they are called? What really attracts children is whether toys look good and whether it is interesting to play with them.

Taking cartoons as an example, in addition to the benefits of film and television copyrights, peripheral products such as toys can create huge and continuous benefits.

For example, Mickey Mouse, which is loved by children all over the world, is willing to spend a lot of resources to lobby in Washington. Two years ago, it finally successfully convinced the US Congress to amend the copyright law and extend the copyright expiration date of "Mickey" by more than ten years.

So if you can acquire a batch of valuable intellectual property rights such as cartoons and comics, you can not only issue related products exclusively in the toy field, but also authorize them to other fields, I think it is a good investment choice." Zhou Yang suggested.

"Mr. Zhou's suggestion is very novel. I have never thought about this before! What kind of business do you do? I wonder if there will be any chance to cooperate in the future?" Ding Wushou finally curled his smile and began to ask sincerely.

"I can barely be considered a finance person. It's not bigger than your family and your family. I just invested some money to play around in the capital market. I can't starve to death anyway." Zhou Yang deliberately used a cynical tone to vaguely talk about his work.

But the rich second generation present may have different abilities in starting a career, but everyone still has a basic vision. Zhou Yang is naturally not a poor person in a custom suit worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

So even if he is not a rich man from Hong Kong, as a friend introduced by Pang Xi, no one will deliberately reject him. And when Zhou Yang showed his unique vision and insight, everyone immediately accepted him.

The reason why Zhou Yang wanted to enter the wealthy circle in Hong Kong was actually his own purpose. Just two days ago, he finally received a long-awaited call from New York.
