Uniqlo登陸港島

曾經有意收購佐丹奴(709)的日本同業Uniqlo雖然已表明短期內無意再提出收購建議,但不代表這間在全球正南征北討的服裝公司會將擴展大中華的步伐慢下來。這間「日本佐丹奴」自從於05年2月正式斥1,100萬元成立全資附屬Uniqlo香港後,並於同年9月正式登陸香港,先在九龍美麗華商場開設首間門市後,一眾哈日族自然喜上眉梢,皆因不用千里迢迢飛往東洋,也可購得心頭好。

經過一年磨練,業務站穩陣腳後,該品牌決定擴大在香港市場的版圖。過海出擊進駐港島,並已物色到新分店位置,將於太古城「開枝散業」。據講新店最快可於12月開張,規模同九龍的門市有過之而無不及,實行自行擴張。或許以為香港市場細,不值一哂,反而應積極在內地建網,但該公司則未見在國內大肆擴張,現時只在上海和杭州設數個據點而已。

要知道賺錢非易,皆因要開店的話,需要的人手不少,而且要一群具經驗的管理層協助其他新人,相信該品牌也明白要培養一隊本地團隊方可執行擴展計劃,故過去沒有採取大量開設分店的策略,在短期內急速膨脹。

能夠稱得上是「日本佐丹奴」,Uniqlo價格定位必具競爭性,不時有產品真正減價(竟然有拖鞋賣19元一對!),而休閒服售價與對手不遑多讓,甚至有些比日本便宜,而採用旗艦店的好處是面積大,客戶慢慢逛,像入賭場般,總會留下多少銀両購買一些心頭好回家。該公司董事總經理潘寧曾話過4年內在港開設20間分店,意味團隊擴大,有經驗人手越多,開店速度必加快,相信本地同類服裝零售股要開始加強裝備應付了。

不過,另一日本品牌三越百貨就沒有那麼好彩,未能奪得九龍酒店商場的租用權後(由西武百貨承租該商場),只好黯然撤離香港市場。但所謂一雞死一雞鳴,本地薑,由恒基地產(012)持有的千色百貨則繼續進駐集團旗下物業,本月29日更於大角咀港灣豪庭廣場開第5間分店,面積逾10萬呎,實行提供一條龍服務,買完該集團的樓盤單位後,還要繼續「幫襯」該集團的零售企業。除該店外,據聞恒基正促銷的土瓜灣翔龍灣也會有千色百貨加盟,開第6間分店,絕對肥水不流別人田。

印度文輸入法有前途

幸好有朱邦復在接近30年前發明中文輸入法,結果這個台灣人攻克電腦輸入中文這個難題,如沒有這套倉頡輸入法,恐怕中國人「侷住」改用英文,屆時根本「追唔上」電腦時代的步伐。印度雖然是世界IT強國,但在當地,如果你不懂英文,恐怕便不能享受IT革命帶來的成果,因為印度本來並非用英文,識英文是那班是受過教育的精英。而印度文的幾種字母,本身在電腦顯示都好有難度,目前雖話有印度文輸入法,但現有的輸入法相當麻煩,想要全民受惠恐怕有一定難度。

而最大問題是,印度本身有三大語系,分別是印地、淡米爾和卡納達,怎樣令不同語系的朋友用自己的拼音法,都可以正確打出印度文已相當考功夫。所以印度一直未有自己的電腦文化,而倉頡輸入法則帶領中國人可以用中文玩電腦。不過,最近有間叫Tachyon的公司,發明的印度文輸入法,叫做Quillpad,用26個英文字母,再用日常慣用的拼音系統,就可以輸入正確的印度文字母,可以更容易同朋友通訊。

當然,印度和中國兩個文明古國,之所以可以用自己的文字玩電腦,皆因電腦越來越勁,運算速度越來越厲害之故。在朱邦復發明倉頡時,怎會想到細到連手機都有一套中文字庫,手機的運算能力和記憶容量,還勁過當年的大電腦好幾倍。現時印度人可以發明這種智能輸入法,都是因為今日的電腦速度「快到離晒譜」,連PDA都可以用作睇電影,相信不止是印度文,更難搞的語文將來都可以有比較便捷的輸入法。當然,Tachyon這間公司,依靠同中國擁有差不多人口的印度,市場前景風光如畫,看來印度文輸入法,將會是一塊大餅也。

Very interesting article. I am glad that we had the chinese input system well developed. In addition, I think "the pen and pad" that you can write on and recognise the word or at least suggest list of words are very handy!
