很早就聽說阿拉伯人很會做生意，mini storage這次到迪拜親身經歷，才�正體會到阿拉伯人長袖善舞，領先商場的風姿。有人說阿拉伯商人“在不同文明之間搭起了文化交流的橋樑” ，對世界文化發展做出了重大的貢獻，這可是一點都不誇張。我們耳熟能詳的“絲綢之路”，不論是陸地的或是海上的，最先都是和阿拉伯人來往，然後才發展、延伸到歐、美等地。正是由於地理上的優勢，阿拉伯人的足跡遍佈亞、歐、非三大洲。他們善於吸收其他地方的文化，而且還在鑽研的基礎上加以發展。就拿阿拉伯數字來說，阿拉伯人在印度人創造的從0到9十個數字的計數法的基礎上加以改造，形成了“阿拉伯數字”，極大地方便了做生意記數。迪拜博物館陳列室�，有實際尺寸一樣的古市集、如活人般的鐵匠、珠�商和裁縫師，把阿拉伯人的商業社會完整、生動地再現在遊客面前。迪拜位於出入波斯灣霍爾木茲海峽內灣的咽喉地帶，歷史上就是海灣地區的經貿中心，如今大力發展旅遊業，這裡阿拉伯商人的迷你倉格特點體現得最為突出。我們在繁華的商業區購物時，總會見到滿臉堆笑、彬彬有禮的阿拉伯商人。他們談生意很有耐心，會同你慢慢磨，找出一大堆理由，讓你相信他們的東西價廉物美，買了又買。他們善於叫價，有時候你買了一大堆貨物，你認為很劃算，可回來細細一算，還是沒有便宜多少。不過，他們那種親切熱情的樣子，讓你回味起來還是十分受用。迪拜商場裡東西方的貨物都有，有高檔昂貴的，也有便宜實用的，琳琅滿目。其中有不少中國商品，包括家電、服裝、玩具、裝飾品、小禮物、醫療器械、土特產等。中國的產品品質保證、價格優惠，佔據很大的優勢。迪拜的管理者鼓勵商業貿易，讓當地人利用石油帶來的原始資本迅速轉型，更多地從旅遊、經貿增加收入。而迪拜寬鬆的自由貿易價格和合理的稅制，也吸引著來自各地的商人。不久前國際展覽局代表大會在巴黎舉行，投票產生二○二○年註冊類世界博覽會主辦城市，迪拜成為最後的贏家。成功的管理和運作讓迪拜贏得敬重。文件倉

壹傳媒（00282）大股東黎智英早前入股台灣宏達（HTC）2%股權後，迷你倉樂器宏達接二連三爆出負面消息。宏達近日疑因業績持續下滑而出現高層職位調動，企圖挽救頹勢。證券分析員估計，市場看淡宏達的發展前景，而黎智英入股宏達炒賣成分極高，隨時慘蝕收場。宏達的手機產品在全球市佔率逐漸萎縮，管理層極力變陣，繼董事長王雪紅要親自處理日常營運後，日前連財務長張嘉臨也要「�數」兼任全球銷售主管。不過，市場並不看好宏達的前景，本年第三季，宏達的智能手機在全球市佔率僅得2%，較去年第三季的4.6%減少逾一半。同期宏達淨虧損35億元（新台幣．下同），也是該公司首現季度虧損。外電引述消息人士表示，宏達的主要四條生產線在本年十月底至少關閉了一條，部分生產工序改以外判，估計有關生產線佔公司總產能逾20%。不過這些措施未能止住公司股價大挫，一一年、一二年及一三年至今，公司股價按年分別挫42%、40%及52%。首十一個月營收跌28.6%事實上，宏達本身的營運數據持續下滑，公司早前公布營業收入數據，今年一至十一月份自結合併營業收入為1,909億元，比去年同期2,674億元下挫28.6%，而十一月份自結合併營業收入為154.71億元，比十月149.99億元僅錄得輕微增長逾3.14%。宏達的差勁數據惹來抨擊。台灣行政院主計長石素梅早前表示，今、明兩年經濟成長率向下修訂，主要是出口不迷你倉西貢，智慧手機、平板電腦都因為國際競爭力下滑，影響到出口。她點名宏達全球市佔率緊縮很多，再加上台商在中國建立產業供應鏈在地化，以及產能過剩，都造成台灣出口衰退。證券界早已極度看淡宏達的前景。看得最淡的法巴指出，宏達積極參與競爭激烈的中國市場，意味其平均銷售價格將面臨嚴峻挑戰，給予「減持」評級，目標價71元。黎智英隨時帳蝕逾3億外電早前報道，黎智英早前買入宏達2%股權，相當於1,700萬股，假設黎智英購入股份的平均價格，相當於消息披露當天的收市價144元計算，涉資約24億元（約6.4億港元）。若宏達真的跌至法巴給予宏達的目標價71元，黎智英屆時勢帳面慘蝕逾3億港元。此外，黎智英為大股東的壹傳媒財務繼續陷入困局。據早前公布中期業績，披露銀行貸款高達8.58億元（港元．下同），較三月底時高出6.69%。證券分析員認為，數據反映壹傳媒債務情況惡劣，集團只能靠借貸度日。據壹傳媒截至今年九月底止中期業績顯示，由於已終止業務虧損高達7,200萬元，令半年盈利僅得1,152萬元。業績亦顯示核心業務持續惡化，其中《蘋果日報》的廣告收益亦大幅減少10.5%；至於台灣《蘋果日報》的收益亦同告下跌8.9%。自《爽報》出版後，在「自己打自己」效應下，《蘋果日報》印數曾低見18萬份，實銷數更低於此數，在燒錢不斷及流血不止情況下，《爽報》最終在十月中旬因「捱唔住」執笠收場。迷你倉將軍澳

大陸智慧型手機品牌小米手機持續掀起低價風暴，mini storage昨天中午大陸官網再度開賣，15萬支小米3手機在7分鐘內售罄，隨著出貨放量訊息確定，加上接單廠商傳出小米機明年將「高度成長」，台灣相關硬體供應鏈可望受惠。小米機昨天啟動新一輪官網購機活動，15萬支小米3手機，在6分58秒內賣光；5萬支紅米手機、2分30秒銷售一空；3000台47吋的小米電視也在1分48秒內完銷。小米機高規格、低價策略奏效，紅米機登台後一台要價不到台幣4千，最新的小米3要價也約一萬元上下，配合網路「限量」行銷，在一波波低價搶購熱潮堆砌下，品牌能見度與出貨量迅速崛起。市場預估小米機今年出貨約1900萬支，但明年可望翻倍，估迷你倉上看4,000萬支。接單業者英業達甚至表示，小米機明年可望「高度成長」，隨著出貨漸漸達到經濟規模，小米供應鏈業績也同步看漲。例如小米機組裝代工由富智康、英業達負責；聯發科提供中低階產品晶片，友達提供螢幕、勝華則分食觸控模組訂單、光寶供應相機模組等，軟板供應鏈則由F-臻鼎、嘉聯益、毅嘉拿下，小米科技也曾透露未來新機種仍將與台廠供應鏈「強強合作」，相關供應鏈可望水漲船高。MA資產總經理陳冠融說，今年科技股表現「悶」，主因宏達電市佔率下滑，且非蘋果推出新機時程比預期慢，但中國大陸新掘起小米機成功「低價取量」，明年將成為相關供應鏈的新機會，包括下游組裝、晶片組IC代工、封測等也可留意。文件倉

Not many people know about Jiangmen in Guangdong Province, a historic city in the Pearl River Delta from which 200 years ago many Chinese emigrated to the West to make their fortunes.存倉 They sent back money. Some made fortunes and returned to build spectacular towering fortress-residences, known as diaolou, that merged Eastern and Western architectural styles, many of them fantastic and castle-like.Jiangmen is a showcase of the history of early overseas Chinese.The city of 4.5 million people is only around an hour's drive from Guangzhou and equidistant from neighboring cities of Zhuhai and Zhongshang. It's on the lower reaches of the Xijiang or West River.Compared with densely populated and hectic Guangzhou, Jiangmen is surrounded by lush and relatively tranquil countryside, a place of respite. It's known locally as Wuyi, meaning land of five counties. Many people still ride bicycles, local cuisine has not been eclipsed by fast food.When Westerners meet a Chinese person in the US, Canada or the UK, many people think their Eastern roots are in Hong Kong because many overseas Chinese immigrants speak Cantonese. In fact, many of these people come from the Jiangmen region.The people of Jiangmen are proud to tell you that they were among the very first Chinese migrants who ventured to Western countries, many working as laborers under cruel conditions on railroads and in mines. They also created local Chinatowns that became famous. What's most impressive about these migrants is the hard-earned money they sent back to Jiangmen, not only for their families, but also for the communities and the infrastructure of the region.The Jiangmen Wuyi Overseas Chinese Museum displays fascinating artifacts such as bank transfers used to send money home and well-preserved letters written to their families.While many Chinese stayed on in their adopted Western homelands, some returned, notably to Kaiping, a city within Jiangmen. Proud, patriotic and wealthy, the returnees built architecturally stunning diaolou, which were fortified, multi-story residences and watchtowers to protect from raids by bandits.Many stand tall in lush green rice fields and look like castles combining a range of styles such as Romanesque, Islamic, Baroque and Rococo, with traditional Chinese elements. The first towers were built in the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), reaching a peak in the 1920s and 1930s, when more than 3,000 diaolou were standing. Today there are around 1,800 in Kaiping.In 2007, diaolou were recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites.Quite a few are open to visitors.Zili VillageOne of the most photographed villages in Kaiping, Zili contains 82 striking diaolou, many worth visiting. One of the most notable is Mingshi Lou built by Fang Runwen on his return from Chicago in 1925.Walking toward the towering structures, visitors can imagine the glamorous lifestyle of rich returned Chinese of the day. They had luxuries such as kerosene lamps (there was no electricity), Western-style t儲存ilets and bathrooms, and vast amounts of creature comforts, which people today would envy. Every floor has its own kitchen, bathroom and toilet. There's an antique German clock, a whisky case, a Western styled bed with a comfortable mattress, and sewing machine.Every diaolou has a spacious roof veranda providing splendid views of the scenic countryside. Life was comfortable and trouble-free, especially after bandits were banished.Li GardenThe Li Garden is one of the largest and most spectacular. It was completed by returned overseas Chinese Xie Weili in 1936, after 10 years of construction.Covering 19,425 square meters, more than four acres, the garden is fusion of traditional Chinese and Western architecture. The estate contains six spectacular mansions and two diaolou. Most buildings are open to the public and are decorated with antique Western and Chinese red wood furniture.A private canal was built next to Li Garden, connecting to waterways leading to Hong Kong, around 133 kilometers from Kaiping. Foreign construction material was brought in via the canal.Chikan market townThe tiny, sleepy market town on the Tanjiang River is a quaint and unspoiled destination, 25 kilometers from downtown Kaiping. Walking along the narrow lanes, visitors see life pretty much as it was 350 years ago when the town was founded as a fish market. The area is hugely popular with filmmakers who shot much of "Drunken Master II" and Wong Kar-wai's recent martial arts epic "The Grandmaster" on location in Chikan.Visitors themselves are curiosities. Many locals are pensioners whiling away the time, drying fresh fish and vegetables. Cats sun themselves and dogs wander about.Abundant hot springsOne of the pleasures of living in China is that in the winter, you can venture south on a short flight and enjoy warm sunshine, beautiful scenery and hot springs.Just an hour's drive from Jiangmen, Guifeng Mountain and the surrounding area offer myriad hot springs, a much-needed getaway from stressful city life. Jiangmen has a lot to offer, and it all depends on how much time you have. Whether it's hiking and absorbing the stunning views from Guifeng Mountain, enjoying hot springs, touring diaolou in Kaiping, the region offers plenty of history, charm and surprises.Where to stay:Gudou Hot Springs Resort has three luxury hotels with more than 700 rooms and suites. The grounds contain a lake and manmade beach. The resort is dotted with hot springs, popular after-work destinations for locals. The variety of food is seemingly endless.How to get thereFly to Guangzhou Airport, take a regular fast train from Guangzhou South Station to Jiangmen Station. Regular express coach service is available from Shenzhen and other cities in Guangdong Province. The trip from Guangzhou takes around an hour.Getting around:Taxis in Jiangmen are plentiful. A more interesting way to explore the area is to hire a bike in Jiangmen, or take your own bike — most buses and trains allow them, but ask in advance.迷你倉

本欄日前曾談及有調查統計顯示，迷你倉內地高消費的客群愈來愈多選擇直接到外國購買名牌貨品兼旅遊，這除了價錢較香港便宜之外，相信與部分港人對內地客存在排斥心態不無關係。不可不知，香港高檔消費品市場除了要面對海外的競爭之外，就連近在咫尺的澳門，也不可小覷。澳門雖然博彩業蓬勃興旺，但澳門政府也認識到經濟太單一並非好事，所以近年銳意向旅遊休閒城市方向發展。澳門幾個大賭場，都不聲不響的建立度假村，且成績不俗，單是今年夏季，金沙、威尼斯人和百利宮等，便接待旅客五百多萬人次。據知，澳門�仔又將有「大動作」，準備打造一個自存倉迷你巴黎」，一座按原物一比二的比例建造的艾菲爾鐵塔將會成為新地標，而名店林立的香榭麗舍大道當然亦不可少。澳門的用意明顯就是要吸引大陸客，要讓大陸客有一種到澳門購物有如到了歐洲購物的感覺和樂趣。事實上，近年愈來愈多外國名店落戶濠江，例如國際名錶浪琴由於近兩年在澳門的業務有雙位數增長，所以正準備開設第三間旗艦店，這說明不少國際名牌都看好澳門的消費前景。澳門的稅制與香港差不多，但澳門人沒有抗拒內地客的心態，而是抱�「多多益善」的態度來歡迎，這與香港成為強烈對比。面對澳門的積極進取，香港應該要及早應對。李秀�迷你倉
