Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 433

Wei Dong was a little dumbfounded, he raised flowers at home, wouldn't it be good to play with He Xiao?Why do you want to go to work? I never thought about finding something to do with the uncle before!

"Master, isn't it good for you to live your retirement life at home?"

"Why retire!"

The uncle said dissatisfiedly: "I'm only in my early 50s, why retire so early?"

The aunt also asked: "Weidong, if you need your uncle's help for anything in your company, you are welcome. Anyway, you are still an eighth-level fitter. Even if it is for you to do repairs or something, there is still something to do."

Wei Dong smiled and said: "Look at what you keep saying, no matter how much I have to do repair work, my company is all about manufacturing, it seems that there is no place for the uncle to contribute."

The uncle said anxiously: "How can there be no one? If you have machinery, don't they ever break down?"

"There is no time when it is broken, even if it is broken, it will be replaced with a new one."

Weidong has copied a lot of commonly used parts of some production equipment, and if there are any broken parts, they will be replaced directly, and the broken parts can be used as raw materials.

The old man said angrily: "How can you do business like this? Of course, the machines on the production line should be repaired if they break down, so as to save costs."

The cost of Weidong’s production line is zero. If you buy one of any equipment and copy it yourself, the cost will be zero. If you sell one set, you will even earn back the money you paid for the first set. Hiring people to repair machinery?If it's broken, just replace it with a new one.

But if the uncle really doesn’t want to be idle at home, then find something to do. It seems that there is a saying that if a person works for a long time and suddenly gets idle, he will feel something wrong. Maybe this is the case with the uncle. If you want to do some work, as long as you don't get tired, it's good for your health. Besides, my uncle is only in his 50s, and he still has a few years to retire.

However, Wei Dong really didn't know what a fitter did. He worked in the rolling mill for two years, and worked in the procurement department, the automobile shift, and the cafeteria, but he never went into the production workshop.

Scratching his head, he was embarrassed and asked, "Master, what can a fitter do?"

The old man and the big mother were stunned. Is this still a child from a rolling mill?What a shame.

The aunt smacked her lips and said, "Weidong, don't ask me that question in the future, have you ever been in a rolling mill workshop?"

Wei Dong said embarrassingly, "I just saw my brother drive by the spinning top."

The old man laughed and said: "Ordinary fitters include chiseling, filing, sawing, scribing, drilling, reaming, tapping and threading, scraping, grinding, straightening, bending and riveting, etc. A fitter is a mechanical of the oldest metalworkers in manufacture."

How could Wei Dong understand these professional vocabulary!The uncle explained again to let Weidong understand what he was doing.

Weidong remembered that the uncle was an eighth-level fitter, the highest level in the classification, which can be said to be the ceiling of the industry, and asked:

"Master, how far can you, an eighth-level fitter, do?"

The uncle said: "How can I tell you! Let's put it this way, you give me a machine and I can imitate it for you."

Then he explained to Weidong how Hongqi and Shanghai Xiaoqiao cars were imitated after liberation. Many parts were processed by fitters little by little. start running.

Wei Dong was surprised: "This is too powerful, this is a skillful hand rubbing rockets!"

The uncle laughed and said, "Do you think rocket engines are mass-produced? Many parts only need one or two and there is no special production equipment!"

Then he said: "However, there are also shortcomings. All manual production is of course much slower. It takes several days to process a part."

"This is already very powerful. Let me think about it. What is there in the factory that needs your help?"

Weidong didn't have a clue for a while, the production line was copied by himself, and no one came to check this, that is to say, the production line was related to machinery and metal, and the other production and sales didn't need to be done by the old man.

How can the production line be bought by the uncle? There are quite a few machine tools, and there are also newly released CNC machine tools, all of which are copied. Weidong suddenly thought of it.

"Master, I recently bought a production line from Pretty Country, which cost more than 100 million US dollars. Go and see if you can produce a few."

Weidong just thought of the chip production line. If the uncle can make a set with his hands, he will have a source in the future, and he will have enough confidence when he takes it out. be suspicious.

The old man heard that it cost more than 100 million US dollars to buy a production line, which is too much money. If he can help produce it, then he is not idle, and it can save Weidong money.

"Then let's go and see? As long as it's a machine, I can make it by hand."

The big mother stopped the old man who got up: "What are you in a hurry, the machine can't run, just go after eating."

The uncle was also anxious to help Weidong, it was already past 11 o'clock, so it would not be too late to go again in the afternoon.

Xiaodang and Huaihua went to prepare first. Weidong cooked four home-cooked dishes and cooked a bowl of seaweed and egg flower soup. After lunch, the family of five, old, middle-aged and young, had a short rest. Dong wants to go together to see what the production line looks like.

Xiaodang and Huaihua also came to be interested, and it would be better to spend more time with their uncle Weidong, so they went out together. Only Dama still had some vegetables to clean up in the backyard, so they stayed at home and did not follow them out.

Weidong took the three of them to visit the complete chip production line under the guidance of Director Cui, the person in charge of chips in Shatian. Finally, it was the process of Yu Yingfa operating a contact lithography machine to make chips.

The uncle asked: "Is this production line worth 150 million dollars?"

Wei Dong said: "Yeah, don't think it's simple, this one can make integrated circuits."

To a layman, it looks really crude. After all, the technology is not so professional now, and the size is not big, so it can't give people that kind of shocking feeling.

Uncle, it seems that there are few machines, and he suspects that Weidong has been cheated by someone, but just looking at Weidong's appearance that you don't know anything, so he won't talk about this worthwhile topic.

Question: "Which are the most valuable machines in your production line? You also need to prepare some tools and equipment for me."

Wei Dongdao: "Don't worry, I have a full set of machine tools, as well as CNC ones. Later, I will find a floor to tidy up and specialize in that lithography machine."

Regardless of whether the uncle can make it, Weidong intends to let this rumor out. At least the relevant high-level officials know that Weidong has found an eighth-level fitter who can make a lithography machine by himself, which also explains the more than ten production lines. origin of.

When a new type of lithography machine is released in a few years, I can continue to use this name to come up with new models. As long as others have it, they can copy one and say that they can develop it themselves. There will be no shortage of production lines in the future.

The uncle is in good health, and there will be no problems for ten or twenty years, and it will be fine to find a way to solve the following things in the future.

The uncle also doesn't want to be idle every day, what can he do if he always spends Weidong's money?It's better to help Wei Dong while he can still move, and he can feel at ease, not Wei Dong's burden.

"Then you are ready, I will try later, you need to find some helpers for me."

Wei Dong said: "No problem, I can be your apprentice later."

Weidong thought that if he could learn how to be a fitter, then he could pretend to build a lithography machine by hand, wouldn't it be more explanatory!

The old man smiled and said: "I wanted to pass on this skill to you in the courtyard, but you were too thin before and didn't have that kind of strength. Now that you are strong, you are a big boss. Why do you still want to learn from this fitter?" ?”

Wei Dongdao: "Master, look at what you said, let me talk about starting a company and becoming the boss, you can't lose your skills. I bought a villa in Shatian like this, and I study in a nearby university. At that time, why don't you move here too?" , teach me at home at night."

Weidong wants to learn some basics, and try to see if his system can reward some skills, just like learning cooking and martial arts, saving himself the time to practice.

Back then, she learned martial arts directly from a teacher, and Qin Xiayue called herself a genius, otherwise how could she have fallen into Qin Xiayue's eyes and finally embraced the beauty?

If you can also raise your own fitter to a very high level, that would be very cost-effective. If you can find more masters, learn all about turning, milling, etc.?
The uncle didn't know whether to move here at the moment, since Tsuen Wan and He Yuzhu are neighbors, he can tease He Xiao and He Hai every day, and besides, he is used to living here.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. I'll teach you some basics first."

I’ve been here for so many years, and it’s not too short of three or five days. When we went back to the villa in Tsuen Wan, the uncle wrote a list and listed all the tools we wanted. Wei Dong saw that they were all in the space. , Turn around and let it out directly.

Put away the checklist and said: "Grandpa and auntie, I'll go back first, and after Xiaodang and Sophora japonica are arranged, I'll come over and send them to the plane."

The first mother was a bit reluctant, Xie Di went to school, and now Xiaodang and Huaihua were leaving too. The two thin little girls grew up in a blink of an eye.

The uncle said: "We must make arrangements for the two later."

"Don't worry, I will also find a female bodyguard."

After Weidong made a promise, he left Tsuen Wan and drove the Aston Martin back to Repulse Bay.

The next day, after dealing with the company's affairs, I received a call from Qi Dezun, saying that he was already downstairs and had something to discuss.

Wei Dong was overjoyed that it seemed that the matter of becoming a shareholder was completed, and finally opened a hole in He Ji, so that he could become the owner of He Huang Company in the future.

After a while, Xiao Zhou led Qi Dezun into the office, and after the guests and hosts sat down, he said some polite words, and Wei Dong asked:

"I don't know why Daban Qi came to me today?"

Qi Dezun said: "Of course it's about the Taikoo ship, I want to talk to you in detail."

"Okay, I don't know if Taipan still has any doubts?"

Qi Dezun said: "The thing is like this"

Qi Dezun was also a little uncertain before. Xiangjiang’s ship business is Huangpu Shipyard and Taikoo Shipyard. If they can be merged together and then moved out to Tsing Yi Island to form a new shipyard, they can gradually grow bigger and stronger in the future. Weidong insisted on Hutchison International, and he couldn't make up his mind before. After discussing with the directors of the company, he finally made up his mind to give Weidong a seat on the board of directors.

Qi Dezun first talked about the plan to merge with Taikoo Shipyard. Before that, it was a plan to share half of the resources to form a joint dockyard. Now it is a packaged purchase of the shipbuilding part of Weidong’s Taikoo Shipyard Company. After merging with Huangpu Shipyard, it will be moved to Tsing Yi Island .

Wei Dong also agreed with this plan: "I agree in principle, Huangpu Shipyard is going to take over all the equipment and personnel of the shipyard as a whole, right?"

Qi Dezun said: "Of course, all technicians, workers and equipment will be merged into the new Huangpu Dock."

Taikoo Dockyard consists of three major parts, shipyard, wharf and fleet. Other departments are built around these three directions. Weidong sold the shipyard as soon as he took over. I don’t know how others will evaluate Weidong. this operation.

"Okay, let's follow this plan."

The next step is how to evaluate the Swire Shipyard. This is the best way to do it. There are many professional accounting firms in Xiangjiang that have the business of appraising assets. Each of the two sides will find one to conduct the appraisal, and then re-calculate some controversial areas. , strive for a valuation that both parties are satisfied with.

This matter is very simple, Li Fuzhao has an accounting firm, just leave this matter to him.

Qi Dezun said: "Previously it was roughly estimated that the assets of the shipyard were about [-] million Hong Kong dollars. When the time comes, after the confirmation of both parties, the corresponding shares will be issued to you."

"Okay, I have no objection."

What Weidong wanted was a chance to join the board of directors. Although it was earlier, it didn't matter. Many things can only be bought at a premium. Besides, the shares bought by Swire Shipyard are more or less acceptable.

Qi Dezun didn't expect Weidong to be so talkative this time, he thought there would be some difficulties, and finally said:
"Yi Sheng, it seems that you have taken some shares of Hutchison in private?"

Weidong did collect some, and spent more than 1000 million in cash, which only accounted for a little more than 1% of the total share capital. It was purely a financial investment, and he planned to sell it in the market before the stock market crash.

Without concealing it, he said, "I received some stocks, about 300 million or so, not even two points, is there something wrong?"

Qi Dezun smiled and said, "No, I'm only happy that Yi Sheng is optimistic about us and He Ji."

Weidong made a promise: "I'm not interested in acquiring foreign firms now, they are all financial investments, and no one has more than 3 points."

Now is really not a good time to move into a foreign company. It is better to wait for the foreign company to develop for some time, and Weidong in the province has to find a way to acquire small companies.

How can I be happy playing games with Ah Zhen every day.

The foreign firms have also investigated. Weidong only buys a small amount of stocks when it opens an exchange, and it is still very scattered. Each company buys some, and it is true that it does not concentrate on one company.

Seeing that the matter was settled smoothly, Qi Dezun chatted with Wei Dong for a while, and then got up to leave.

Wei Dong recruited Ruan Tao and Yan Li, and after reporting the sale of the shipyard, Ruan Tao was surprised: "Sold the shipyard so quickly? Are you still taking shares?"

Wei Dong said: "Now that Hutchison's market value is close to one billion, it is the right time to invest in shares. Now that the real estate market is recovering, the stock market will also rise accordingly. How can shipbuilding make more money than stocks? Of course, shipbuilding is handed over to Whampoa, and we take What a great share."

Although I don't know how much Hutchison will rise in this round of big bull market, it is no problem to increase three or four times from now to 73 years. That is to say, when the stock is sold, it can earn three or four times the profit. Swire In the past four years, the shipyard has not even earned [-] million yuan.

How can the industry make money in finance? Didn’t the later generations make money from the stock market?Even if you take a plan, you can collect billions of dollars, and not even a car is built.

Weidong entrusted Yan Li with the rest of the work, as long as he cooperated with the accounting firm to evaluate the assets of the shipyard, and then it was the negotiation of Hutchison International's shareholding.

There are too many chores for such a big matter, Wei Dong sits at the headquarters, and Ruan Tao goes to the Taikoo Dockyard to talk to Sheridan in the shipyard. After all, the acquisition time is still short, and Sheridan has no loyalty to the Qiuyu Group. Secretly happy, Qi Dezun's family is also from Sunset Country, it's better than staying in Qiuyu Group.

Wei Dong had a busy day, and when he returned to Repulse Bay, it was already dark. When he entered the house, a maid came forward and said, "Sir, do you still want dinner?"

Wei Dong changed his shoes: "No need, where are the two ladies?"

"I've had dinner and went upstairs to rest."

When Wei Dong went upstairs, he didn't see anyone in Ah Zhen's room. When he returned to his bedroom, he found that Ah Zhen had changed into a set of nurse's clothes. He asked in surprise, "Why do you have these clothes?"

Ah Zhen got up, turned around and smiled, "Does it look good? I participated in a performance by the school's Cantonese opera troupe, playing the role of a nurse who saves lives and heals the wounded."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "This is good, this is good."
