Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 337 Estate Mortgage Scheme
Yi Weidong watched the play with a smile, and after the two of them had played around, he said, "I have a gift for you, let's have a big meal."

Ah Hui smiled and said, "Is there a gift? Yes, yes! Thank you, Brother Awei."

Ah Zhen hesitated and said, "A Wei, you have lost so much money, why don't you go out to eat?"

"You still have to treat yourself to a meal, and you can't eat much for a meal. I'll get a gift for you when you leave."

Yi Weidong prepared jade pendants for the two of them, and after delivering the presents, he asked Ruan Tao and his daughter to go to the restaurant for dinner together.

The next morning when Yi Weidong came to the company headquarters, Luo Caijing had just delivered the tea when Ruan Tao knocked on the door and came in and said:
"Boss, should we hold a high-level meeting first to stabilize the morale of the army? And do you have any plans for the future development of our company?"

Yi Weidong thought about it and said, "How much money does the head office still have? How many industrial buildings are there now?"

Ruan Tao said: "It's all my fault. At that time, my attitude was a little firmer. I should have transferred all the money. After listening to the salesman, I only transferred the whole number."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "I also want to thank you, Sister Taozi, if it wasn't for your 4000 million cash being seized by foreign devils, then I would be completely bankrupt. I'm fine now, and I still have a chance to turn around."

Other companies don't have much money in their accounts, so the cash on hand is only 4000 million.

Ruan Tao said: "Boss, the payment from Chint Company is more than 1000 million, plus the funds on the books of our other companies, the total is about 100 million."

Yi Weidong asked: "That means we have 6000 million cash in our account?"

"Yes, boss."

Yi Weidong took out a map from the drawer of his desk, spread it out and said: "The industrial buildings we bought before are all in the North Point Industrial Zone, and I plan to build them in the Taikoo Industrial Zone, Xinghua Village Industrial Zone, Shau Kei Wan Industrial Zone until Chai Wan Industrial areas, all the money is going to buy industrial buildings.”

It's not that Yi Weidong doesn't want to buy a commercial building in Central, it's still dominated by foreigners, with the exception of a Chinese building.

Yi Weidong just wants to take advantage of the current real estate downturn to buy more real estate, and then resell it when the real estate appreciates in the future. Real estate in Xiangjiang is the way to get rich quickly.

Seeing Yi Weidong pointing on the map, Ruan Tao was taken aback, and asked, "Ah Wei, how many industrial buildings do you want to buy?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "I'll spend the 6000 million in my hand until I run out."

Ruan Tao shouted: "Are you crazy? Even with the existing properties, we will have more than 20 industrial buildings. If the real estate market continues to be in a downturn, the real estate will be lost."

Yi Weidong said: "This is only the first stage. I conservatively estimate that after all the money is spent, we will have more than [-] industrial buildings in our hands."

"Is there a second stage?"

"Of course." Yi Weidong went on to say, "Then we get all the real estate mortgaged by the bank, and then use the money from the loan to buy the real estate. After spending it, we use the purchased real estate to mortgage the loan, and the cycle continues like this. , until the loan is spent.”

Ruan Tao touched Yi Weidong's forehead sideways, he didn't have a fever, why did he talk nonsense?
He said worriedly: "Awei, you can't do business like this. As long as the interest is not paid, all the buildings will not belong to you."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Sister Taozi, why are you still not up? Did you forget that there is still a shipment to Chint Company?"

Xiangjiang cannot sell watches, but there is no problem at Chint Company in Wanwan, and the money received there is enough to pay back the interest.

As long as the interest is repaid, are the banks eager to lend more money?
When Yi Weidong was learning to trade stocks, he watched TVB's "The Great Times" and checked the history of the Hong Kong stock market. In 700, the Hong Kong stock market would rise to more than [-] points. At that time, the real estate market was also the most prosperous At that time, now we have taken over the building with all our strength, sold it all by the end of [-], and bought it back when the real estate was cheap. The money earned from this entry and exit will be astronomical.

The Hang Seng Index will drop from more than 700 points to more than 150 points, a full drop of 2%. This is the world's largest plunge, which directly leads to the economic recession in Hong Kong. It took 3-[-] years for Hong Kong to recover .

Ruan Tao frowned and thought for a while before saying, "In theory, it's okay, but in case, in case something happens, you will have nothing."

Yi Weidong said: "This is a real estate plan, don't worry, I still have a bicycle plan."

Yi Weidong showed Ruan Tao the sketch of the stroller drawn yesterday, explained Yi Weidong's vision, and then said:

"The bicycle company that has cooperation will continue to make money from afar. There is also a real estate company that cooperates with Lou's family. I also went to the construction site to see it yesterday. It is already building the second floor. It can be sold off-plan at any time. We have money on hand. With so many channels, how could it be possible not to pay the interest?”

Yi Weidong has enough confidence, and there are tens of millions of cash in the space, there will be no such thing as no money to repay the interest.

It was only then that Ruan Tao remembered that there was a separate account with 1000 million in cash, which was mainly used to lend money to the real estate company. In this way, there are four ways for the company to repay the money. It is impossible for all of them to go wrong, right?
Ruan Tao asked: "Then you used all this money for development, and you didn't pay the payment that was in arrears before?"

After thinking about it, Yi Weidong made up a reason and said: "You may have guessed it. These watch accessories are all from the mainland. I don't need to get the money back now. I will stay here to develop."

Ruan Tao suddenly said: "I see, it's like Mr. Huo is smuggling goods to the mainland, isn't it?"

Yi Weidong nodded and said, "You just need to understand, don't talk nonsense."

Ruan Tao said: "I know the seriousness, and I won't talk nonsense."

Yi Weidong asked Luo Caijing to inform the senior management to go to the small conference room for a meeting. After discussing the development plan of the real estate, the two came to the small conference room.

Luo Caijing is the meeting recorder, Yan Li and Ni Wenlin in the office, Feng Xixue in finance, Guan Chunlan in the marketing department, these are the top management of Yi Weidong Company.

Yi Weidong looked around and saw that everyone was in a good state of mind, and said: "The matter of the watch company has ended yesterday, and it will no longer produce watches in the future. The company's main focus will be on the acquisition of industrial buildings. We will acquire our own Victoria Park goes east all the way to the industrial buildings in Chai Wan."

The news was like a bomb, which shocked everyone present. They thought the company would continue to work on the watch project, but unexpectedly cut it off and decided to switch careers to buy real estate.

Guan Chunlan from the marketing department asked, "Boss, how many buildings do you expect to buy?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "The money in the company's account is exhausted."

Feng Xixue couldn't help but said: "We already have a total of 6000 million in cash, are we going to buy a house?"

Yi Weidong nodded and said: "Everyone knows that last May there were rumors that the other side was going to call. It has been more than a year and there has been no movement. This shows that calling is impossible. If so, let's take advantage of this Buy properties at a low price now, and collect rent when the economy improves.”

This explanation is the most reasonable that Yi Weidong can think of. He is familiar with the development of Xiangjiang in the future, and there will be signs of economic recovery next year at most. If he buys it at that time, the price will be much higher.

Now Yi Weidong is just an announcement, not a meeting to discuss, and quickly distributes the tasks. Yi Weidong said: "Everyone worked hard during the two months I was away, and everyone received an extra month's salary as a bonus."

After everyone stopped in surprise, Yi Weidong asked, "Is there anyone in the company who understands machinery?"

They all looked at each other and shook their heads, Yi Weidong said: "Then recruit another one, and Yan Li will be in charge."

After the meeting was over, Yan Li came to the office and asked, "Boss, what are the requirements for your mechanical skills?"

Yi Weidong said: "I have several new designs for bicycles. I need someone who understands mechanics to help me improve them. Then I want to apply for a patent and start production. I need to find professionals who understand machining."

"I understand."

Yi Weidong said: "The drawings are all with Manager Ruan. If you are looking for someone, you must sign a non-disclosure agreement first. If there is anything unclear, then ask me."

"Good boss."

After Yan Li went out, Luo Caijing sent various reports for the past two months. Although Yi Weidong didn't need to sign, he still had to read them to better understand the recent company.

When he returned home at night, Yi Weidong said to the two girls: "Sister Zhen, Ah Hui, I'm going to move to the villa, do you want to move there with me?"

Ah Zhen and Ah Hui looked at each other, and said, "It's not like we don't have a house, so why move to your house?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Isn't the house too big? The room on the third floor is too spacious for only three people to live in."

Only the housekeeper and his wife were in the villa. If Yi Weidong moved there by himself, living in a big house would not be comfortable at all, so he came here directly after returning.

Ah Hui struggled and said, "I want to live in a big house, but we have no relatives and no reason, how can we live in your house?"

Yi Weidong thought about it and said: "How about you rent out the prepared house, and then I will rent the room under the villa to you, and the rent is to help me clean and wash clothes, is that okay?"

Ah Hui smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I like living in a villa, and there is a swimming pool behind."

Ah Zhen hesitated: "This is not good, Ah Hui's middle school is still here!"

"It's okay, I will invite the driver, just let the driver take it off."

Ah Zhen has already enrolled in HKU and chose to live on campus. She just comes back on Saturday and goes there on Sunday or Monday morning. It doesn't matter where she lives.

Yi Weidong persuaded: "If I move away, sister Zhen, you still live on campus, and Ahui is the only child at home. If something happens, you won't know."

Ah Hui straightened her chest, pouted and said, "I'm not a child!"

Ah Zhen burst out laughing and said, "Okay, you are not a child, but what Ah Wei said is true, we don't feel at ease if you are a big girl at home."

Ah Hui also couldn't hear the sarcasm in Ah Zhen's words, but knowing that Ah Zhen agreed to live in Yi Weidong's villa, she said with a smile: "Then let's move today?"

Ah Zhen knocked and said: "Are you in such a hurry? We are not prepared, and we have to pack our things!"

Ah Hui said aggrievedly: "Then let's stay here for the last night, pack our things by the way, and move out early tomorrow morning."

After a simple meal in the evening, the two girls started packing, and Yi Weidong continued to help until after ten o'clock, when the three of them yawned and rested.

The next morning, I found a truck to take the two of their belongings to Repulse Bay Villa. With the help of Uncle Fu and his wife, they quickly moved everything. There is no formal moving company these days, and only I can move it by myself.

After having dinner at the villa at noon, Yi Weidong said to Aunt Fu: "Find them two maid's overalls, one for two, and they will clean the hygiene above the second floor from now on."

Christie looked at Ah Zhen and Ah Hui, smiled and said, "OK, no problem, they all have new clothes."

In the afternoon, Yi Weidong saw Ah Zhen and Ah Hui wearing maid outfits and cleaning his bedroom, and he felt comfortable all over. The idea of ​​having two little maids is really great.

At night, Ah Hui complained: "Brother Wei, sister Zhen is going to live on campus, so do I have to clean such a big place myself? It's too much space."

Yi Weidong said: "You agreed to this?"

Ah Hui said aggrievedly: "The area is so big, I'm exhausted today, and I have to wash your stinky clothes."

Yi Weidong thought for a while and said, "Then let Sister Taozi find me someone to be in charge of cleaning and cooking tomorrow. You only need to be in charge of my bedroom and study, okay?"

Ah Hui smiled and said, "Okay, it's much easier now."

"Okay, just do it."

When Yi Weidong came to the office on Monday, Ruan Tao came over with a pile of documents and said, "Boss, these are all the industrial buildings for sale that I can find now."

Yi Weidong said in surprise, "So fast?"

"We've got our priorities right."

Ruan Tao handed over the top [-] points to Yi Weidong and said, "This is an excellent building."

The two discussed each industrial building. The area of ​​each building varies, and the total price ranges from more than 300 million to nearly 500 million. After finalizing the purchase goal, Yi Weidong asked: "Sister Taozi , do you have any recommendations for mortgage lenders?"

Ruan Tao said: "I have been collecting information from the banks. The loan rate of each bank is different. The loan for a building like this is generally about [-]%."

Yi Weidong said in surprise: "For a house worth 1000 million yuan, only 700 million yuan in cash can be loaned out?"

"Yes."

Yi Weidong said: "Then you ask a few more, we will have 6 buildings with a total value of [-] million, try to borrow as much money as possible."

After thinking about it, Ruan Tao advised, "Isn't it too risky?"

"Don't worry, there's no problem."

Yi Weidong went on to say: "This time, it's still assigned to those four companies, and we will buy it in a low-key manner first."

After arranging the purchase of the building, Yi Weidong has nothing else to do. Now the watch is not assembled anymore. He just needs to send a batch of goods to Chint Company regularly. The little uncle called and said that the business there is on the right track. Everything is going well.

When Yi Weidong was free, he realized that he had nothing to do. To buy a building, he only had to nod his head. See what else is there to do?

Yi Weidong didn’t have a clue at the moment, many things Yi Weidong knew would make him rich, but now it’s useless if he can’t make them himself, just like making watches before, if he can make the movement himself, he can stop the mouths of the customs officers, no As for now the watch companies are forced to shut down.

He came out of the office and asked the secretary, "Do you have time now?"

Luo Caijing was stunned, how should she answer to qualify?It doesn't matter if you have time or you don't have time?

He turned his heart and asked, "What is the boss' order?"

Yi Weidong said: "Come and follow me to the Central Ring Road."

Yi Weidong didn't think it would be better to do business now, so he went out to take a stroll around the Central Ring to observe what the Central Ring is like now.

"Yes, boss."

Luo Caijing was secretly delighted, did her boss want to take her on a date?He quickly took his small backpack and followed Yi Weidong towards the elevator.

After exiting the garage, head west all the way, and soon passed Admiralty Station, Yi Weidong said, "Find a place to stop in the shopping area."

Luo Caijing parked the Mercedes near the Landmark and said, "Boss, the east side is the busiest shopping area in Central."

Yi Weidong got out of the car and looked around, most of them are buildings with no more than twelve floors, but the shops under the building in front of him are full of people coming and going, and many signs are familiar to Yi Weidong The name, what Vacheron Constantin, Rolex, Chow Tai Fook's jewelry store, Parker gold pen and other boutique stores.

Yi Weidong almost went in to have a look at the store, and bought something as long as it was pleasing to the eye, and Luo Caijing followed behind as a entourage carrying bags.

Soon after entering a store, Yi Weidong saw that it was a supermarket when he entered, and then he stepped back to look at the signboard. It was the first time that Yi Weidong saw a supermarket in this era. In the age of computers, there were supermarkets.

Luo Caijing who was behind couldn't help but said: "Boss, this is a supermarket under the Milk Company. It only opened this year, and Xiangjiang didn't have it before."

"You put the things you bought back in the car first, and I'll take a look around the supermarket."

Yi Weidong was very curious about how the cashier was being paid at this time. When he came in, he first went to the cashier area to observe. There was indeed a cash register similar to the later generations, but it was much bigger. It had a TV screen, a keyboard, and a fixed code scanner. .

Yi Weidong really opened his eyes, bought a bottle of soda, and stood not far away to observe.

The cashier puts the barcode of the product under the scanner, and the code will be displayed on the screen, both in English and numbers. After confirmation, there is a dot matrix printer next to it to print out the shopping receipt.

It wasn't until Luo Caijing found her that they entered through the entrance of the supermarket together. The supermarket is not small, with an area of ​​hundreds of square meters, and it looks no different from the later generations.

Unified open shelves, cosmetics, toothpaste and toothbrushes, daily necessities, kitchen supplies, tableware, etc. are neatly arranged by category.

Yi Weidong wandered from shelf to shelf, picked up a lot of things and put them into the shopping cart, and soon came to the stationery area, took a few pens and threw them in the shopping cart, and then he was attracted by the things next to him. The same product I have never seen before.

The length is more than 20 centimeters, one end is thicker and the other end is thinner. The metal shell looks like a pharaoh as a whole.

There is also a cap on the thin end. After Yi Weidong opened it, he saw the tip of the ballpoint pen. He held it with the posture of holding the pen naturally. There are some depressions where the pen is on the tiger's mouth. It is very comfortable to snap on and conforms to ergonomics principle.

Looking at the shelves, there are many other styles, including characters in Western mythology and animal shapes, each of which has a distinctive personality and is lifelike, just like a handicraft.

But the price is also very beautiful, the cheapest animal shape costs 49 Hong Kong dollars, and the Pharaoh ballpoint pen in Yi Weidong's hand costs 68 Hong Kong dollars.

Luo Caijing stretched her head to look at it and said with a smile: "Boss, this is a ballpoint pen. When the ink in it is used up, you can refill it. The advertisement says that a pen can be used for a lifetime."

Yi Weidong said in surprise: "You said this can be filled with ink?"

Luo Caijing asked back: "All ballpoint pens can be refilled with ink! There were ballpoint pens as early as 46 years ago, and they were all produced in the beautiful country."

"You said that this ballpoint pen can only be produced in the beautiful country?"

Luo Caijing replied: "Yes, they have a patent, and no one else can produce it."

Yi Weidong remembered that he had watched a documentary in his previous life. In the past, only the neon country and the two countries that claimed to be permanently neutral could produce the nib part of the gel pen. Some people said that your Greater China industry still can’t do it. They can't even make a gel pen, so they lick their foreign father's toes.

In fact, the main reason is that this market is too small, and the annual market share is only about 3000 to [-] million US dollars, so it is not suitable for research and development.

A steel group was very angry and allocated special funds for research and development. It only took a short time to manufacture the pen, breaking the foreign monopoly.

Yi Weidong was very strange at the time. It seemed that there were only two countries in the world, Greater China and foreign countries. Everything in Greater China had to be compared with foreign countries. They boasted how powerful their own father was.

Instead, they turned a blind eye to the achievements of the flower growers, and only had eyes on their foreign relatives.

Yi Weidong came here today to see if there were any business opportunities. He did not expect to see a supermarket and a ballpoint pen unique to this era. What a surprise!

Yi Weidong chose several ballpoint pens of different styles and put them in the shopping cart, and under Luo Caijing's guidance, he bought three bottles of special ink for red, black, and blue, so that he could refill the ink himself.

Yi Weidong said: "You choose a style you like, and I will give it to you."

"Really? This ball pen has half a month's wages for my little one."

Luo Caijing said in surprise, she didn't expect such a surprise, after choosing for a long time, she chose a ballpoint pen in the shape of a female pharaoh.

Yi Weidong was not in the mood to go shopping anymore, he pushed the shopping cart to check out, and took it out in a brown paper bag, Yi Weidong gave Luo Caijing the female pharaoh that Luo Caijing had chosen and said:
"back office."

Back in the office, Yi Weidong first sent the ballpoint pen into the space for copying, and then took it out for research.

There is a special small hole at the back to add ink. After disassembly, there is no refill. The principle is the same as that of pens such as Giant Write. The pen shell is the refill, but there is an extra small hole for adding ink.

The part of the ball at the nib is similar to that of later generations, and the nib is similar to a bullet, so the inventor used the word atom to name the pen, reminiscent of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, in order to increase the popularity of the ball pen.

After dismantling the ballpoint pen, Yi Weidong had a clear idea. He could first apply for the patent of the gel pen, and then buy a machine to make the gel pen himself!
I have a patent in my hand, this time no one will say that I am smuggling. The manufacture of the nib is the core secret of the company, and ordinary people still cannot show it.

Yi Weidong came in his own private bathroom at the back, flashed into the space, and came to a separate small space, where all the things in the rented house before Yi Weidong's crossing were stored.

Looking at this familiar thing, Yi Weidong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In fact, many things can be taken out and registered for patents, such as the materials and styles of toothbrush bristles, and some men's cosmetics, such as facial cleanser, shampoo, Shower gels are better than those currently on the market. Even sports shoes can be registered for many patents, not to mention the mobile phone and laptop that Yi Weidong brought in.

These things have to be done slowly, and it is the last word to recruit more scientific researchers to do research and development in the future.

It is inappropriate and unreasonable for me to be an illiterate to take out some real objects.

Soon Yi Weidong found all the previous pens. Yi Weidong was overjoyed. From the extra-fine 0.28, 0.38 refills, the commonly used 0.5 refills, 0.7 for hard pen calligraphy, and 1.0 Refills are available in needle, semi-needle, and bullet types, as well as some highlighters, markers, and fountain pens.

Black, red, and blue are also available, and now I can directly create them in the space.

After leaving the space, Yi Weidong released the inventory in his stomach, washed his hands and returned to the office, and started to draw pictures. After half an hour, he looked at his masterpiece, kneaded it into a ball and put it in the space. Before he got the patent, What you draw cannot be seen by others.

Yi Weidong called Ruan Tao to come over, and said, "Sister Taozi, I went to Central today and saw there is a supermarket over there. How do you think I didn't open a supermarket near the residential area in North Point?"

Ruan Tao said in surprise: "Supermarket? A shopping mall where you can choose your own products and then pay for them?"

Yi Weidong said: "Yes, I also bought a lot of ballpoint pens, and I will give you one as a gift. You are picking one for Xiaomi."

He took out ballpoint pens from the drawer and asked Ruan Tao to choose two. Ruan Tao thanked him and said:
"I don't think it's feasible to open a supermarket in North Point."

"Why can't North Point work?"

Ruan Tao explained: "North Point is relatively poor, and the residents are ordinary workers. If you open a supermarket, many small things will be stolen."

"Forehead"

Yi Weidong didn't consider this issue thoroughly enough. Supermarkets in later generations will be monitored, and the quality of the citizens is relatively high. It's not shameful enough to steal something, so the phenomenon of stealing is relatively rare.

At that time, they were all poor people, and most of them were illiterate. If it was really opened in a residential area in North Point, the probability of losing items is still very high.

Yi Weidong thought about it and said, "Then you can only open counter-style department stores?"

Ruan Tao said: "There are not many department stores near North Point. It would be fine if they were located near residential areas, but why did you think of entering the retail business?"

Yi Weidong said: "Commerce can be roughly divided into the manufacture of goods. Before that, watch production belonged to this. The transportation and wholesale in the middle are mainly various businesses, and then various shops for retail."

Then he said: "We don't have the ability to open a commercial bank for the time being, that is, we can intervene in manufacturing and retail."

Ruan Tao said: "Yes, opening a commercial store is not something that can be done in a short period of time. It needs to accumulate customers. In a short period of industrial downturn, retailing is also a good choice, but I think opening a supermarket will lose money, and it is too easy to lose things. .”

Yi Weidong also accepted this statement. The central area itself is a high-end business district, and the wealthiest people in Xiangjiang work there. The chance of stealing is much smaller. It is better to use the department store to practice first, and wait a few years before opening. Supermarkets should be better.

Yi Weidong said: "I remember that one of the buildings I want to buy is the one closest to the residential area?"

Ruan Tao said: "Yes, but I haven't bought it yet. The opposite is a residential area. I remember that there is another building that is also opposite the residential area. The two buildings sandwich the residential area between the east and the west."

"Then buy both buildings, and reserve the ground floor and two floors for a large department store."

The location of the shopping mall is the most important thing. As long as the location is good, you don’t have to worry about business. The house that Yi Weidong rented from Ah Hui was in a residential area in North Point. Although there are shops underneath, there are households on the top, and there are small shops nearby. There are no large shopping malls, even medium-sized shopping malls. As long as you open a department store, you can definitely make a lot of money.

Ruan Tao said: "Okay, I will buy these two buildings in advance."

Yi Weidong thought for a while and said: "There are other places that need to choose similar addresses close to residential areas."

Only by establishing a chain store can we have the confidence to negotiate prices with suppliers, suppress the supplier's payment, and what entry fee, promotion fee, and event sponsor Yi Weidong has never opened a store, but in the middle I still know some of the ways.

Ruan Tao said: "I see, are similar buildings located in the same company?"

"Yes, that's a good idea." If the shopping mall's business is good, it's okay to keep these buildings and not sell them. In the future, a retail group will be formed, all of which will use their own properties. In the 80s, they can also be subdivided into professional home appliance chains and pharmaceutical chains. , convenience stores, and other professional chain groups.

Yi Weidong went on to say: "Contact Wu Deyuan, a lawyer of Liqun Law Firm, and search all the patents for this ballpoint pen."

It is inconvenient without the Internet, and it takes a lot of time to search for information on everything. Now it is not sure whether someone has applied for a patent for the gel pen of later generations.

"Is this a patent for a ballpoint pen?"

Yi Weidong reconfirmed: "I have an idea. I don't know if it has been applied for a patent. I should search the patent database first. If not, we can also produce new ballpoint pens."

After saying this, Ruan Tao became interested and asked, "Can you talk to me first?"

Yi Weidong raised the ballpoint pen in his hand and said: "Look, the part that is the tip of the pen is connected to the barrel, and ink needs to be added after use. Each pen is so expensive that only a few people can afford it. "

At this time, an ordinary fountain pen only costs more than ten Hong Kong dollars, and a ballpoint pen can buy 4-5 fountain pens.

Ruan Tao said: "I remember that when ballpoint pens first appeared, the highest price could reach three hundred Hong Kong dollars, and it was only the very rich who were willing to buy ballpoint pens."

Yi Weidong said: "Actually, we can change the pen barrel from metal to plastic, and this method of adding ink is not good, and it is easy to leak ink. We can make a kind of refill, use a very thin plastic tube to add Add ink, and replace the refill with a new refill when the ink runs out, so that the price of a ballpoint pen should be lower than that of a fountain pen, and it will become a writing tool that everyone can afford.”

Yi Weidong took a blank piece of paper and simply drew the appearance of the pen core, as well as the simplest shape of the pen barrel.

Ruan Tao looked at the ballpoint pen she had never seen before, thought about it and said happily: "Boss, you are awesome, you are too powerful."

"As long as you get this invention, you can sell hundreds of millions of ballpoint pens a year, which is more profitable than real estate speculation."

Hundreds of millions are said to be few, and the 70s will soon be the period of great economic development in the world. As long as the price is right, who doesn't buy a few gel pens?

Coupled with the need to replace the refill when it runs out, this will be a steady stream of business.

Yi Weidong said: "Now it is time to search for relevant patents and improve the patent information as soon as possible."

Ruan Tao said: "I understand. After the matter of buying the building is arranged, I will go to the law firm and give priority to the matter of the patent."

After Ruan Tao went out, she arranged to put two buildings close to the residential area in the first place to be acquired, and then took her secretary Fu Yingtong to Liqun Law Firm to consult about patent matters.

Yi Weidong asked secretary Luo Caijing to send a caliper, and measured the data of the refill copied from the space by himself. Even if there is a patent for the refill, as long as he finds a way to do it differently and bypass the other party’s patent, it will be fine. Or buy it outright.

In the afternoon, Luo Caijing knocked on the door and said calmly, "Boss, Mr. Lu and Mr. Huang are here."
