Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 493 Invite, find someone (two in one)

On this day, Lin Baicheng went to Jupiter Toy Company.

Zhang Sheng and others who went to inspect the Shekou Industrial Zone have already returned to Xiangjiang. Lin Baicheng was supposed to come here, not to mention there are other things today.

Lin Baicheng called Zhang Sheng to the office: "How do you plan to arrange the construction of a factory in Shekou?"

Zhang Sheng replied: "The factory area will be built over there, and we will send people to follow up. After the factory construction is completed, we will move the claw machine production line there."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "How are you going to arrange the staff?"

Zhang Shengdao: "The employees on the claw machine production line, all the local employees in Xiangjiang will be assigned to other production lines, just as the company is going to recruit workers. As for the employees from the mainland, the company will first arrange for them to go to Shekou to train the newly recruited employees from the mainland. , After the basic training of employees is completed, let them decide whether to stay in Shekou or return to Xiangjiang. No matter which option they choose, the company will make proper arrangements.”

"Well, it's well arranged."

Lin Baicheng nodded approvingly, and said: "There is a clear difference between working in Shekou and working here in Xiangjiang. The salary is the biggest difference. For the same job, the monthly salary in Xiangjiang will be much higher."

这可不是高一点点，现如今人民币跟美元的汇率差不多是2.1:1，也就是说1美元等于2.1人民币。而美元和港币的汇率是1:4.2，一美元等于4.2港币。

For comparison, 1 RMB is equal to 2 Hong Kong dollars.

Now the per capita salary in Xiangjiang is more than 500 Hong Kong dollars. The monthly salary of workers in Lin Baicheng’s factories is a little higher than that of his peers. The main reason is that the company’s performance is good. The minimum salary of general workers in the workshop is 400 Hong Kong dollars per month, like a team leader. Needless to say, the monthly salary of these levels of directors and directors.

Regardless of the fact that the per capita salary in Xiangjiang is more than 500 Hong Kong dollars, the minimum monthly salary of Lin Baicheng factory workers is only 400 Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 100 Hong Kong dollars lower than the per capita salary. It seems that the salary is very low.

In fact, this is not the case. Per capita wages are averaged wages. For example, workers working in high-end hotels and banks earn far more than 500 Hong Kong dollars, many even several times of 500 Hong Kong dollars. The income and income of these people After the lower average per capita is the per capita income of more than 500 Hong Kong dollars.

That is to say, the monthly salary of the bottom migrant workers in Xiangjiang is less than 500 Hong Kong dollars, and about 300 Hong Kong dollars is the salary of most people. Even some women and young girls have a monthly salary of less than 300 Hong Kong dollars.

Therefore, as far as ordinary workers on the factory floor are concerned, the monthly salary of 400 is not only not low, but rather relatively high.

As for the mainland, the average annual salary of employees across the country is about 750 yuan, and the average monthly salary is about 62.5 yuan, which is only 125 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong dollars.But this is the average monthly wage of workers across the country. The wages of ordinary workers are actually only about 30 yuan, which is only 60 Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

In the factory that Lin Baicheng is about to open in Shekou, the minimum wage for general workers in the workshop is 40 yuan, which is 80 Hong Kong dollars, which is only a little higher than that of his peers.The wages of factory employees are not set randomly. Lin Baicheng cannot offend his peers by charging a high price, and Shekou will not accept his high price, because it will affect Shekou's overall investment attraction.

The overall conditions in the mainland are not very good now, and the Shekou Industrial Zone does not have very good conditions for attracting investment. Low wages for workers are the best condition for attracting foreign businessmen, and they will definitely not give up their martial arts.

The minimum monthly salary of factory employees in the Shekou Industrial Zone is only 80 Hong Kong dollars, while the factory in Xiangjiang costs 400 Hong Kong dollars. In terms of labor costs alone, there is a huge gap between the two. Building a factory in Shekou can save a lot of labor costs .

More importantly, this is not a one-time sale, but can save a lot of labor costs every year.

In the future, it will be the general trend to move all factories to the mainland. The difference in labor costs between the two places is too great, but for now, Lin Baicheng has no plans to move all factories there.

In addition to the situation, but also because Lin Baicheng wants to take root in Xiangjiang, it is impossible for him to move all his factories to the mainland.He must leave some factories in Xiangjiang, preferably those with strong technology and a large number of workers, so that his influence in Xiangjiang can be more guaranteed.

"Yeah, if you don't go to Shekou, you don't know that the wages in the mainland are so low."

Zhang Sheng nodded with emotion, and then said: "Boss Lin, the wages over there are much lower than ours in Xiangjiang. I think that after a few years to confirm that the political situation there is no problem and the conditions are better, we can pay the wages." The company's other factories have been relocated, which can save a lot of expenses and bring more lucrative returns to the company."

"Well, let's talk about this in a few years."

Lin Baicheng just nodded. It's still early, so it doesn't make much sense to say these things now.After all, it is a few years, and anything may happen later, it is impossible to make a decision now.

"How will the management of the factory in Shekou make arrangements?"

Lin Baicheng asked, the conditions there are poor, even if the treatment remains the same, it is unacceptable to some people.

Zhang Sheng replied: "In principle, all the managers who voluntarily go to the past will be promoted to a higher level. After working for three years, they can apply for transfer according to the needs of the company's Xiangjiang side. Of course, if the company moves all factories to If he went over there, he would naturally not be transferred back, and the company would give some compensation in terms of bonuses."

"This method is good. The level has increased, and the salary has also increased. I believe that many people will sign up voluntarily."

Lin Baicheng quite agrees with this, although it will cost more, but it is much better than hard apportionment.

"However, what if the number of voluntary signups is not enough?"

Zhang Sheng immediately said: "If the number of people is not enough, then don't blame the company for arbitrarily dispatching them. Those who don't want to go can leave the company."

"Very well, let's arrange it as you said."

Lin Baicheng has nothing to say, and it is indeed a very good way to use both soft and hard methods.

Lin Baicheng and Zhang Sheng continued to chat about a new toy that Jupiter Toys Company is currently developing—yo-yo.

The yo-yo is the kind of toy that is tied with a rope, and then the yo-yo is thrown out, let the yo-yo rotate for a while and then retracted. It can be said that it was very popular in the 90s.

Of course, yo-yo actually appeared very early. Its predecessor was a sport called yo-yo. In the 30s, there was even a company specializing in performing this sport, but it went bankrupt later.

Nowadays, there are still companies that specialize in the production of yo-yos, but due to technical issues, they are all yo-yos that cannot be recycled.

Now Jupiter Toys is naturally developing the recyclable yo-yo. Lin Baicheng and the masters in charge of the research and development talked about the design and general direction, and the specific research and development depends on professionals.Although it is not yet possible to determine when it will be developed, but with the general direction Lin Baicheng said, this time will not be too long.

"President Lin, Manager, the people from Xinhua News Agency and China Merchants from the Mainland who made an appointment to visit the factory have already come."

Time passed unknowingly, until Lin Baicheng's secretary here at Jupiter Toy Company knocked on the door and reported to the two people in the office.

Now that the person came, Lin Baicheng and Zhang Sheng naturally ended their chat and left the office.

The reason why people from Xinhua News Agency and China Merchants came here today is that after Zhang Sheng and others went to Shekou for inspection, they knew that the claw machine factory to be built was selling well abroad and had a big market, so it caused a lot of trouble. Pay attention to.

Therefore, the staff of the China Merchants Bureau on the Hong Kong side of the Mainland wanted to visit the claw machine factory.As for the Xinhua News Agency, it was another matter. After contacting Lin Baicheng, Lin Baicheng simply asked them to come over and talk in detail at that time.

After a while, Lin Baicheng met Wang Yiping, Li Fuquan and everyone from China Merchants Bureau. They were all old acquaintances, and Lin Baicheng had met them all.

After greeting each other, everyone went to the claw machine production factory.

After visiting the factory for a while, Lin Baicheng invited Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan to the office for a talk, and Zhang Sheng continued to entertain people from China Merchants.

"You two, you said that you want to ask me for help, what is it?"

Lin Baicheng greeted the two of them to sit down on the sofa, and only asked after the secretary made tea and went out.

Wang Yiping asked, "Does Mr. Lin know about the Canton Fair?"

"I probably know that some products from various places in China are shipped to Guangzhou, and then foreign businessmen are invited to purchase and sell the products abroad, isn't that true?"

Lin Baicheng knew roughly that the Canton Fair was held every spring and autumn, and it started many years ago. It was not a product of the comprehensive reform and opening up in the 90s.

Wang Yiping nodded and said, "In general, that's right. The Canton Fair is mainly engaged in export business, but it also does import business."

Li Fuquan took over the words: "Mr. Lin, Watsons, a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa under your name, is engaged in large supermarkets. It purchases various products and sells them in supermarkets, and there are supermarkets in foreign countries. We would like to invite Watsons in October. I will go to the Canton Fair to purchase around the time to see if there are any products with sales value. If there are, I hope to purchase some and sell them at Watsons.”

Wang Yiping added: "Mr. Lin, we will not force this purchase. The main reason is to invite Watsons to take a look. If the purchaser thinks that a certain product has sales prospects and value and can make Watsons money, then it is not too late to purchase; If you don’t have the product you like, forget it, and you will never be forced to buy it or not.”

"It's just like that? No problem, I agree!"

Lin Baicheng agreed with a smile when he heard the words. This is not harmful to Watsons, and it even has advantages, that is, it enriches the product range.

Don’t think that there are no good products because of the poor conditions in the mainland. Lin Baicheng thinks that there are still some markets for honey, hand-woven products and other products abroad.

"Mr. Lin, thank you very much."

Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan were overjoyed when they heard the words, and the task was easily completed in this way.

"You two are welcome."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand, and then said: "Actually, I have established an import and export trading company with several partners. What we do is product trade, selling Xiangjiang's products to Japan and the United States, or selling products from the United States and other countries. The products are sold to our Asian side."

"So, I will talk to the head of the Sino-Ocean Import and Export Trading Company and ask him to send someone to the next Canton Fair to see if there are any products that can be sold to other countries. In this way, the domestic side will make money. In foreign exchange, my company has made a profit from the difference, so let’s make money together.”

Lin Baicheng really didn't help in vain. After all, the products he sent people to purchase were sure to have sales prospects, and the company would not lose money.If there is no product with sales prospects, he will definitely not purchase it. It is impossible for Lin Baicheng to make the company lose money, not to mention that Sino-Ocean Trading is still a joint venture company.

Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan expressed their gratitude again, they did not expect to have unexpected gains.

After thanking you, Wang Yiping said: "Mr. Lin, there is one more thing we want to ask you about."

"Please say."

Lin Baicheng nodded.

Wang Yiping said: "This matter is related to Mr. Lin, your mother, Ms. Zhao Huilan. Ms. Zhao immigrated from the mainland to Xiangjiang decades ago. In return for your support of the country, Mr. Lin, we want to find Relatives of Ms. Zhao."

Li Fuquan added: "Now that we have roughly determined the scope, we now want to ask Mr. Lin whether to continue the search. If Mr. Lin thinks there is no need to continue the search, we will not bother them."

"Look, keep looking."

Lin Baicheng immediately said: "I will leave this matter to the country. I hope you can help find my mother's relatives. It is best to find relatives who are close or have met my mother."

Lin Baicheng knew it without asking. If given the chance, mother Zhao Huilan would definitely want to know the living conditions of her former relatives.It would be even better if I could meet my peers or elders who I grew up with when I was a child.

Hearing what Lin Baicheng said, Wang Yiping immediately said: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, the domestic side will go all out to search for it. As soon as we have good news, we will contact you, Mr. Lin."

The reason why I didn’t find someone before was mainly because I was not sure about Lin Baicheng’s attitude. After all, Lin Baicheng grew up in Xiangjiang, and the relatives in the mainland were from his mother’s line. In order to avoid affecting Lin Baicheng's current friendly attitude towards China, we cannot find someone before confirming Lin Baicheng's attitude.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news from you two."

Lin Baicheng is quite concerned about this matter. He believes that his mother will be very happy when he finds his mother's relatives.

Of course, before that, Lin Baicheng will confirm his mother Zhao Huilan's attitude with his father Lin Haishan. If something bad happened decades ago, causing her mother Zhao Huilan to feel bad about those relatives before, then this surprise can't happen up.

Although Lin Baicheng thinks that this possibility is very small, it is not impossible. Anyway, there is no loss if you ask first.

Both Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan had finished their task of talking to Lin Baicheng today, so after another chat, they left without disturbing Lin Baicheng's working hours.
