Why is the industry so profitable?
房地产业高利润的原因
• Bargaining power of buyers 购买者侃价能力
– Consumers and speculators; price sensitivity; expectation of
future prices and incomes
消费者与投机商;价格敏感度;对未来价格与收入的预期
• Bargaining power of suppliers 供应商侃价能力
– A dominant supplier --- HK government, but it can be
dramatically influenced by the developers; other suppliers
(building materials suppliers, contractors, architects,
engineers) have little bargaining power
香港政府占支配地位,但很大程度受开发商影响;其他供应
商(建筑材料供应商,建筑商,建筑师,工程师)几乎没有
侃价能力
5/12/2022 11
• Intensity of rivalry: 竞争程度
– the top four developers accounted for 55% of the market in 1991-1994;
highly differentiated by location, size, type of premises and market;
growing industry; exit barriers low
1991到1994年,前四位的开发商共占55%的市场份额;通过选址、规模、
房型和市场种类形成高度差异化;产业成长性高;退出壁垒低

capital requirements in most Government auctions and tenders; cyclical
nature of the business; relationships with financial institutions

求较高; 楼价地价具有周期性特点;和金融机构的紧密关系
• Pressure from substitutes 替代品压力
– Government‘s rental estates and home ownership estates; renting a
flat; moving to another location (mainland China)
政府提供可供租用与个人购买的房产;租用公寓;移居他乡(中国大陆)

government was to tackle the problem of inflating

应
Tung Chee-hwa’s Policy

Dramatic Changes in the Industry
香港房地产业的巨变
• The increase in supply should result in a decrease in price, which
however may dampen the demand for housing and make the 70%
home ownership difficult to achieve
供给增长使价格下降,会进一步削弱对于住房的需求,预定70%家庭自
置居所的目标难以实现 。
• But the economic environment changed drastically shortly
thereafter. In 1998, HK’s economy was hit by the Asian financial
crisis, and the HK dollar came under speculative attacks. The
interest rate and unemployment rates went up dramatically, and
inflation had turned to deflation.
但之后不久,经济环境发生剧烈变化。1998年,香港经济因亚洲金融
危机受严重打击,国际投机商冲击港币。利率和失业率大幅上升,通
货膨胀变成了通货紧缩。
• Property prices plummeted by as much as 50% from their peak in
1997.
与1997年巅峰时期相比,房地产价格直线下跌了多达50%。

1 July 1997; underestimate of the population growth; heavy
reliance on property-related proceeds (30% of the total
revenue)
中英联合声明规定香港每年卖地不得超过50公顷;政府低估了人
口增长;财政收入过多依赖房地产相关产业(占总收入的30%)
– Change of policy after the handover (85,000 new flats per
year); subsequent reversal in June 1998; uncertainty in
government policy and consumer confidence

1997年后发生了什么?
• Macroeconomic conditions宏观经济条件
– The “double-play”, ., short-selling the HK dollar and taking
a short position on Hang Seng Index Futures, had
successfully forced up the interest rate, caused property-
related stocks and hence the Hang Seng Index to fall
国际投机商的“双重计”策略(即:卖空港币并卖空港股)成功
迫使利率上升,导致与房地产相关的股票下跌并进而导致恒生
指数下跌
– Changing expectation about future prices and income led to
a wait-and-see attitude and a vicious cycle of the property
prices.
对未来价格与收入预期的改变造成等待观望现象,这种现象
迫使房地产商以进一步降价来吸引人,可面对持续下跌的价
格,人们更愿意持币待购——如此产生恶性循环

Does De Beers Hurt Consumer Welfare?
De Beers是否损害了消费者权益?
• Usually, cartels are presumed to damage consumer
welfare by maintaining artificially high prices. But, in
the diamond industry, are high and stable prices
bad? Or, who would benefit from lower diamond
prices? Benign monopoly? Are consumers abused by
having to pay high prices for diamonds?
人们通常认为卡特尔人为地维持高价,损害消费者权
益。但在钻石行业,高而平稳的价格是否是坏事?谁
会从钻石低价中获益?好心的垄断者?钻石高价真的

Industry Consolidation
行业集中化
• Scale economies in production (packaging inputs and packaging
process)
实现生产规模经济(包装原材料及包装过程)
• Increasing scale economies in marketing
增强营销规模经济
• Shift away from draft beers, to packaged beers, which reduced
perish-ability and permitted forms to concentrated on high
throughput
从小规模、散装啤酒向高产量、保质期更长的精装啤酒转型
• Slack demand
需求萎缩
5/12/2022 56
What was Coors’ strategy historically?
过去Coors的战略
• Backward integration 后向一体化
– made all its cans and bottles; backward integration into agricultural
inputs helped Coors differentiate its beer
Coors自产所有包装(铝罐和玻璃瓶)并从农业原料开始实现后向一
体化,这有助于产品差异化
• Plant location 厂址
– In 1975 capacity in the ten states west of Colorado was seven
million barrels less than consumption in those states.
1975年Colorado西部的十个州啤酒生产能力比消费量少700万桶
• Plant scale 工厂规模
– Its sole brewery, million barrels of capacity in 1977, was well
above the MES
1977年,Coors唯一一家酿酒厂的年生产能力(1510万桶)已远远超
出最低有效规模。
• Capacity utilization 设备利用率
– 90-95%, due to the regional vacuum in supply vis-à-vis demand
within which Coors operated
由于Coors经营地区供应短缺,Coors的设备利用率可高达90-95%
5/12/2022 57
• Production process 生产
– Aging beer for 70 days rather than 20-30 days; no pasteurization
不采用加热杀菌法,生产期长达70天(加热杀菌法只需20-30天)
• Marketing 营销
– Pricing Coors Banquet, at a discount to the leading national
premium brands, Budweiser and Miller; relied on banquet’s light
body, the distinctiveness of various inputs (Rocky Mountain spring
water) and its unique production process to mostly “self-sell” .
Coors Banquet的定价低于是以全国名品Budweiser和Miller。
Banquet属清淡型,以其独特的原料(来自落基山脉的泉水)和生产
工艺, 基本实行“自销”。
• Distribution 分销
– Non-pasteurization elevated transportation and storage costs by
requiring continuous refrigeration
由于不采用加热杀菌法,储运要求持续制冷,成本提高

5/12/2022 58
Why has Coors’ performance deteriorated
since 1977?
为何自1977年Coors业绩恶化?
• Backward integration 后向一体化
– Can prices have come down because of excess capacity
生产过剩导致铝罐价格下跌
• Plant location 厂址
– The capacity shortfall in the west has declined from 7 million
to 3 million barrels due to expansion by A-B and Miller in
California 由于A-B和Miller 在California的扩张,西部生产能力
短缺量从700万箱下降到300万桶
• Capacity utilization 设备利用率
– Declining capacity utilization 设备利用率下降
• Plant scale 工厂规模
– catching up by competitors 遭竞争者赶超
5/12/2022 59
• Advertising广告
– Miller had led a general run-up in the industry’s average advertising-
intensity (% in 73’, % in 80’ and 10% in 85’); Coors suffered
from catching up as it moved into new states.
Miller拉动全行业提升平均广告强度(73年%,80年%,85年10%)
;Coors为将产品打入其他州而加倍广告投入.
• Other marketing-related elements 其他与营销相关的因素
– Proliferation of brands, and stagnant share of premium beers, caused
diseconomies in production and marketing
高档啤酒市场份额停滞不前, 及名牌产品增加导致生产与营销的规模不经
济。
• Distribution 分销
– Beer wholesalers suffered declining margins in the 1980s, and Coors’
suffered even more because of Coors’ declining local market shares
80年代,啤酒批发商利润下滑,Coors的批发商则因其市场份额萎缩而更
是如此。
Why has Coors’ performance deteriorated
since 1977?
为何自1977年Coors业绩恶化?
5/12/2022 60
Should Coors build a brewery in
Virginia?
Coors是否该在Virginia建酿酒厂?
• Building a million-barrel packaging facility in Virginia does
not offer significant upside: savings of $ /barrel in
transportation cost amount to an annual payback of $6 million
on an initial investment of $95 million.
在Virginia建立240万桶的包装能力并不能带来显著效益:每桶运
输成本节约美元,即初始投资9500万美元只能带来每年600万
美元回报
• The potential conflict with Coors’ Rocky Mountain image
Coors啤酒的落基山脉形象面临潜在冲突
• Face a stagnant demand and excess capacity in the East
东部生产过剩而需求停滞
• It should acquire existing capacity from some else rather than
add new capacity itself
应该吸纳他方已有生产力,而非自己新建生产力。5/12/2022 61
What, if anything,
might Coors have done differently earlier on?
如果可能,Coors当初应该采取哪些不同举措?
• Stay regional --- building a brewery in California before A-B and
Miller managed to do so
坚持地方品牌路线——赶在A-B和Miller之前在California 建酿酒厂
• Go national sooner
更快成为全国性品牌
• A combination of the above two strategies. Coors first dug itself
deeper into a regional niche, and then belatedly decided to go
national
或结合上述两种策略,Coors仍可以先更深入地开发地方品牌市场,
之后再选择是否走向全国
5/12/2022 62
Lessons
教训
• It failed to act on SRI’s recommendation to build a California
brewery, did not anticipate or react quickly to the effects of
Phillip Morris’s acquisition of Miller, ignored the obvious
unsustainability of its advantages with regard to vertical
integration and production scale and, most broadly, missed the
point that any time a company makes a lot of money, its rivals
(and others) are likely to come after it.
Coors未听从SRI”在California建酿酒厂“的建议;对于Phillip
Morris 并购Miller,事前未预料、事后也未采取迅速反应;没有认
识到自己的优势(纵向一体化和规模经济)不具有可持续性。由
此得出教训:一家公司可以抓住机遇在任何时点赚钱,但竞争对
手(或其他人)也可以随之采取同样措施。
