The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 130 [Diversified Investment] (Add more!)
[Correction: The second heroine in the previous chapter was changed to 'Xu Caiying', only the surname and bloodline were changed.The reason is force majeure, and the author is afraid of the existence of forces]

Cheung Kong Industrial in Tsuen Wan covers an area of ​​45 square feet, or 75 acres of land; while a standard football field is 10.7 acres, it is equivalent to the size of seven football fields.

In the name of Global Shipping, Lin Zhichao built a fence, wooden or iron house on a piece of land about the size of a football field; then in the name of "Global Shipping Escort Team", he established a security company - Global Security, recruiting Dozens of young men and women are preparing for security training.

The instructors include professional security instructors hired from Europe and the United States, retirees recruited from the Hong Kong Police Station, elites selected immediately from the rout, and Lin Zhichao's bodyguard leader Xue Junshan, a master of martial arts.

After more than two months of preparation, I finally put in a six-month devil training in mid-September.

On the day of the opening ceremony, Lin Zhichao came to the scene in person and gave a speech.

Lin Zhichao and the instructors stood opposite fifty young men and women. He looked at the forty male players and ten female players, wondering if half of them could persevere?

This time he will also spend a lot of money. These 60 students have a monthly salary of [-] yuan plus full board and lodging, and promise that once hired, they will get about three to five times their salary.What's more, a large amount of appliances, equipment, and the cost of hiring instructors were also purchased.

"Hello everyone, you should know me. I hired you here, and I may be your future boss. It's the same sentence. If you are afraid of death, quit early, and if you are afraid of hardship, quit early. Money is not so easy to earn. Some money You may lose your life, such as the job you are about to do-ship escort security."

I already said these words when I was applying for the job, and said that pirates and strong waves may be encountered at sea, and the possibility of losing my life is very high.

However, Lin Zhichao underestimated the courage of people in this era. He heard that there are high salaries available, and most people are willing to join.

The 50 people who can participate have already been carefully selected.

The background is very important. For example, the ten female team members are all [-]-unmarried children with parents in Hong Kong. They all look very healthy and strong.It is difficult for girls to find a job, or to marry, and now they have high-paying jobs, and their parents are very supportive.If they marry, their parents may not get money, but if they are selected for this job, their salary is enough to support the family.

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm not afraid of suffering!" Soon someone shouted.

Then these students followed suit!

Hehe, Lin Zhichao sneered in his heart, only one physical training, I don't know how many people will run away.

Anyway, he would be very satisfied if one-third of them could stay.

If there are extra people surviving, he can also arrange work.

Subsequently.

Lin Zhichao said to the foreign security instructors: "Instructor William, you will be their chief instructor next. I hope you will gather the skills of other instructors and train them comprehensively. In short, the more brutal the better, I want elites."

William is a retired soldier after the war and joined an orthodox security company. He is a short-term security personnel hired by Lin Zhichao for training services. The salary is very high, and there will be bonuses after the training.

"No problem! I will definitely train them well!" William said in a cruel voice.

"For the female team members, we must ensure that they will not be harassed by X, their personalities cannot be distorted, and their personalities cannot be trampled on." Lin Zhichao urged in English.

William was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the employer to understand so well, then he nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I will pay attention!"

Lin Zhichao arranged an interpreter for him to monitor this gringo.

And Xue Junshan is also the martial arts coach of this team and Lin Zhichao's eyeliner.

The important thing is that Lin Zhichao will often come to play emotional cards with everyone, and he will give enough psychological counseling to the bodyguards around him.

Of course, these people will also have firearms training, but they have to go to the high seas for training, otherwise it will be illegal in Hong Kong.

As for the bodyguards of the Lin family, it is naturally impossible to own guns. Private individuals are not allowed to own guns in Hong Kong, although there are ways to easily obtain guns.

The most important duty of a bodyguard is not to kill the enemy, but to protect the employer from the scene quickly, and to avoid bullets with the body at critical moments.

Subsequently, the devil training officially began.

And Lin Zhichao also took the opportunity to inspect the living areas such as the dormitory and trial. Since it is a devil training, life is naturally very good.

The food is definitely much better than most in Hong Kong, and every meal has meat.

Finally, leaving Xue Junshan at the base, Lin Zhichao walked towards Changjiang Industrial.

And those students are running a five-kilometer run. Of course, the female team members may ask to slow down.

In the evening, Lin Zhichao got off work early, returned to Lantian Yayuan, picked up his family in the car, and a group of three cars drove towards Aberdeen.

Lin Zhichao sat in the back of the car with Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying. Xu Caiying was in a bad mood recently, so Lin Zhichao simply let her live in Lin's house and slowly accepted the reality.

Xu Caiying had never been to Xu Wangcheng and his wife's side. They just held a relative recognition ceremony in the Hong Kong Hotel to tell relatives and friends to "recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors";

As for Xu Caiying and the Tang couple, there is a little gap at present, and there will naturally be more time to repair it in the future.

"I'm so hungry!" Xu Caiying seemed to have regained her former vivacity, and sighed after getting in the car.

Lin Zhichao smiled immediately: "Hungry is a good thing! Let's eat more seafood tonight."

The woman is still the same woman, but with a different name, she is still the weird girl.

Tang Caiyun also said: "Finally I know I'm hungry, it caused us to worry for a long time."

Xu Caiying deliberately said to Tang Caiyun: "Sister, we are not biological sisters now, we will be the daughters-in-law of the Lin family in the future, but competitors, do you worry about me?"

Tang Caiyun was so angry that she scratched Xu Caiying's itch across Lin Zhichao, and said, "I told you to compete!"

Xu Caiying was the most ticklish, and quickly said: "Sister, I was wrong!"

After a fight, Xu Caiying's recent depression was swept away, she smiled and took Lin Zhichao's arm, and said, "It's better to be sister and brother Zhichao!"

Tang Caiyun was about to defend her parents, but Lin Zhichao patted her leg, indicating that there is no need to rush.

Xu Caiying and the Tang couple have nothing to do with each other, and they will reconcile as well after a while.

"I didn't say they were bad!" Xu Caiying said with a guilty conscience.

She also knew that if it wasn't for her reasons, she wouldn't need to know these things in this life.

"Okay, it's a matter of time." Lin Zhichao said.

Then everyone stopped talking about this topic, and Xu Caiying's mental state returned to such a state, she was dishonest in the car, sometimes teasing Tang Caiyun, sometimes acting coquettishly.

Pass through Happy Valley and Repulse Bay Road to the south of Hong Kong Island;
Then head westward, drive along the coastal road, pass through Deep Water Bay, Wong Chuk Hang, and finally arrive at Aberdeen.

After the car is parked, come to the pier to wave, and there will be a ferry.

“Go to Taibai Seafood!”

"Okay, boss, madam, young master, be careful!"

Lin Zhichao is holding his son Lin Ruihuan in his arms, but others are not at ease holding him.

Although it is said that father and son have different boats, Lin Zhichao is more confident in his swimming skills in this offshore area.

The ferry carried Lin Zhichao's family to swim towards the highest and largest Taibai Seafood Square on the sea.

At this time, the transportation and storage technology of fresh food is not as developed as it will be in the future.Citizens in inland Hong Kong want to eat live seafood, and going to floating restaurants is the best choice.

The Jumbo Seafood Restaurant here today is a group of floating restaurants with many ships. The 2-storey Taibai Seafood Restaurant opened this year is the most famous. Its owner is Yuan Rong. He built the Taibai Seafood Restaurant for the first time in the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter this year. , created a new entrepreneurial model and won success.

As far as Lin Zhichao knows, Taibai Seafood Rice served many celebrities in previous lives, the second one was called Wang Laoji, and the third one was Omen Ho.

At present, Yuan Rong's ship is a wooden landing craft. Later, the business was very good, and the scale was rapidly expanded to attract capital; 1952 people.

In the early 70s, Wanglaoji was preparing to expand the scale again. Unexpectedly, a fire burned down the new ship that had not yet opened. Wanglaoji had no financial resources to continue, and a third Weishui guy took over.

Originally, Omen He wanted to buy the Seafood Shop to operate the gambling business, but found that the business of Taibai Seafood Shop itself was very good (the kind that pays back almost every year), so he only took away a seafood shop to Omen, and started again. I bought a larger seafood shop, and the Chinese-style carving alone cost 600 million Hong Kong dollars, which took two years, and there are also dragon chairs.

After ferrying to the two-storey Taibai Seafood Square, Tang Caiyun directly gave 2 Hong Kong dollars.

"Keep the change, please!"

"Thank you Madam, thank you boss!"

Said the boatman with a happy smile.

When he saw Lin Zhichao and the others just now, he felt that it was not easy. He not only followed the servants, but also followed the bodyguards. It seemed that they were either rich or expensive.

Afterwards, Lin Zhichao and others followed the waiter to the reserved private room on the second floor.

"Caiying, what do you want to eat?"

"I will eat whatever you eat!"

"Okay, I won't ask you any more!"

Because all the women in the family answered this way!

70% of the dishes are seafood, Lin Zhichao ordered ten dishes at once, and also ordered wine.

Xu Caiying likes boats very much, because Lin Zhichao once said that she will "own" global shipping, so she quickly leaned on the wooden window and looked at the sparkling sea not far away.

Tang Caiyun and Lin Xiner were no exception, and they all admired it by the window.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "There is nothing to see here. There is no bustling city night scene on the shore, and the sea is full of small fishing boats." After finishing speaking, he waited for a response.

Sure enough, the three girls returned to their seats one after another. Xu Caiying sat on Lin Zhichao's side and said softly, "Brother Zhichao must say something more beautiful and fun, right?"

This is what you've been waiting for!

Lin Zhichao sipped tea first, and then slowly said: "It's a yacht, of course! In developed countries in Europe and the United States, some factories that produced military ships during World War II have begun to produce a small yacht, which costs about [-] US dollars each. Yachts are generally made of aluminum alloy, with wood as the shell, and equipped with advanced engine technology, which is enough to enjoy a free life on the sea. You can fish, swim in the sea, party, and sunbathe. A larger yacht can be directly used as a retired warship. After refitting and spending huge sums of money on decoration, it looks like a palace on the sea.”

Although it was a 'brag', it attracted bursts of exclamation and envy from the women.

Xu Caiying's eyes were full of longing, and she said to Lin Zhichao: "We will also have yachts in the future, right?"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "This thing needs to be maintained and docked by the yacht club, so Hong Kong should become popular in ten years. But in a few years, we will go to San Francisco or Los Angeles in the United States to buy a seaside villa. It is natural to have a yacht. .”

What does a man make money for, isn't it just to bring his family to enjoy life!
"Um"

All the girls fell into yearning for a better life in the future, and it was no longer so strange for Taibai Seafood Square.

Of course, the seafood in Taibai Seafood Square is really good, which made Lin Zhichao and all the girls full of praise, and will add another place to patronize in the future.

Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong Textile Company.

Looking at the nine automatic zipper rice arranging machines that have stopped working, Wang Tongyuan felt a pain in his face. The Hong Kong zipper factory, which invested a total of 25 US dollars, has not only failed to make money, but has also lost about 20 US dollars.

Just last month (August), Wang Tongyuan asked the manager Wu Mingcheng to stop running the zipper machine, because he knew that the raw materials would either be embargoed or the price would rise soon;

Cheung Kong’s zippers in the Hong Kong market are priced at 7 cents a piece, while the cost of a zipper in Hong Kong is already HK$0.55~0.6. In addition to the difference in quality, in fact, only one or two machines have been operating.

The original value of the nine machines was 30 US dollars, but now they have become worthless. Wang Tongyuan specifically sought buyers, but found that no one in Hong Kong wanted to buy them.

It turns out that everyone is not stupid, and knows why the Hong Kong zipper factory cannot continue to operate. Cheung Kong is so famous in Hong Kong, monopolizing the zippers in the entire Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets, and selling products to Europe, America and Japan.

"Can't you sell one for $5000?" Wang Tongyuan said with heartache.

I expected to pack all the machines for $5, but no one cares about it.

Wu Mingcheng lowered his head and said, "Everyone is not interested! They said that even if it cost 1000 US dollars, they would not dare to drop it in their hands, because raw materials are a problem now."

He didn't say one thing, that is, Hong Kong business circles have already spread the word that Wang Tongyuan envied Cheung Kong to make money, so he invested in a zipper factory, which turned out to be a loss of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Wang Tongyuan suddenly felt embarrassed!
"Call the trader of Li Gaofu and ask them if they want it, and they can take it for [-] US dollars! Don't bargain, otherwise I would rather throw it away."

Throwing it in the factory, it's annoying to watch!
He lost millions of Hong Kong dollars on zippers, so that he was a little bit stretched out in the expansion of textile factories.

Wu Mingcheng said in surprise: "Boss, maybe this Li Gaofu deliberately tricked us at the beginning, so why should he be cheaper?"

Wang Tongyuan said angrily: "What kind of pit is a trap? The price is so cheap, is it also called a pit? Our biggest failure is that Changjiang Industrial uses low-price competition, hurting the enemy by one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred."

He didn't want to admit his failure!So I won't admit that Li Gaofu cheated him!

Even in front of his friends, he often quibbles about the zipper factory. He insists that Cheung Kong lost a lot of profits because it suppressed its opponents.His biggest mistake was to rush into an unfamiliar industry.

Fuhexing.

When Li Gaofu and Huang Tinggui received the call, they didn't go to buy the machine immediately, they only said that they had to think about it first.

Afterwards, the two discussed it in the office.

Li Gaofu said: "I remember that the mainland wants to buy all kinds of machines recently, and the zipper machine is not bad. It can be used in the military. Brother Tinggui, go to Aomen to inquire. If they want it, we will go and buy Wang Tongyuan's machine. .If you don’t want it, we don’t want it for free.”

Huang Tinggui asked curiously, "Could it be that this kind of machine doesn't even have the right to operate in Lin Sheng's factory?"

Li Gaofu said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the slow speed. Only the quality is a problem. Lin Sheng will not want these machines."

Huang Tinggui nodded. He had also heard about Cheung Kong's suppression of Hong Kong's zippers, and even knew the inside story better than others.

"Okay, I'll go to Omen for consultation right away. It costs 5000 US dollars, and it can be sold at last!"

"The price is about the same. We earn less than 60%, which is considered a risk of smuggling, which is reasonable."

Fuhexing joined the smuggling army for the first time, but they did not trade directly with the opposite person, but with the Aomen family called 'Fuxingxing'.

It is equivalent to that they are only a third-party organization. Although the "Fu Xing Xing" company is backed by the opposite person, it is a company registered by Omen after all.

Although this trading method does not make much money, it is less risky.Raw materials imported from Europe and then smuggled to Omen will be considered a success.On the whole, of course, it is still much more profitable than before the embargo.

In addition, Fuhehang's "Oriental Trader" is also continuously providing cash flow to the company.

For a while, Li Gaofu and Huang Tinggui gained some confidence.

a few days later.

In Lu Yu Tea House, Lin Zhichao and Li Gaofu had dinner in an elegant room.

When Li Gaofu talked about Wang Tongyuan, Lin Zhichao immediately laughed.

"I thought he would hold on for a long time, but I didn't expect that he would not be able to bear it until the United States embargoed Hong Kong!"

I was very happy, because Wang Tongyuan also caused Changjiang Industrial to lose money. Originally, the zipper could be sold for 60 cents, but in the end it was only sold for [-] cents.Based on the market of [-] million pieces in Hong Kong, the loss is almost [-] Hong Kong dollars.

But then again, even if there is no Wang Tongyuan, Cheung Kong will not sell too expensive for a long time, so it will easily offend customers in the future.

Seven cents a piece, the gross profit is still very high.

Li Gaofu immediately grasped the key point of Lin Zhichao's words, and said, "Zhichao, you mean that the United States wants to embargo Hong Kong?"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "As long as the opposite side participates in the war, this is inevitable. However, for a British-funded company, I am afraid that it is the first to participate in smuggling. Overall, there are always loopholes to exploit. By the way, the Oriental Trader Did you take part in the adventure?"

Li Gaofu shook his head and said: "Everyone is buying the price, and it is impossible for me to take risks. You also know that after buying the Oriental Trader, Fuhe Bank's assets are only 30 to 40 Hong Kong dollars, and we have injected another [-] Hong Kong dollars. But The past few months have been very profitable. In four months, the entire Fuhe Bank earned [-] Hong Kong dollars. In addition, the sale of zipper machines this time made another [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars, which is already a profit of nearly [-]. But we The cost of taking a risk is very high, if it is planted, Fuhe Xingke will be in trouble."

This is indeed the case. Assuming that the Eastern traders go to transport and the things on board are worth 20 Hong Kong dollars, they need to pay a deposit of 20 Hong Kong dollars, and they will not settle together until the completion.

If it is detained and smashed by a US-Taiwan warship halfway, it will not only lose a cargo ship worth nearly one million, but also a deposit of 20.

To be honest, $150 per ton for a trip to the north is not outrageous.

Take Dongfang Trader as an example, it may take two months to transport one trip, and earn 10 to 12 US dollars at a time, which is more than 60 Hong Kong dollars.

The risk of this thing is very high, it may be as high as 20% chance of being sunk and detained.

There is also the influence of being blacklisted in the future, so the money is not so easy to earn.

As for selfless devotion, Hong Kong businessmen don't have such a person, even Airship Tai, as I said in my previous life, I take risks for money.

"Well, that makes sense!"

At this moment, Li Fuhe remembered that his cousin was the soul of Fuhexing's plan.From transporting goods to the north to trading inland, he listened to his cousin's advice and finally achieved today.

Today, the trade with Omen and the mainland has become a golden hen for Fuhehang, with a monthly profit of 3 to 5 Hong Kong dollars; and relying on oriental traders, Fuhehang may also have a monthly profit of [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars. profit.

However, the eastern traders obviously did not play their 'should' role, because Fuhehang was familiar with the northern route and happened to have a boat.

Could it be that the cousin wants to transport there by himself?
After all, the conditions have been created!
"Zhichao, do you think it is worthwhile to transport it to the north? The current price there is also sixty or seventy dollars per ton."

"You can wait until your strength is sufficient before you consider taking risks. At least consider whether you can afford it in the worst case. For example, if you have 80 million Hong Kong dollars in your hands, for example, the price is 100 or even 120. In short, high profits also have high risks. , if one or two trips are made smoothly, it is very important to stop in time."

"Thank you, you helped me a lot!"

Li Gaofu said sincerely.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "I have helped a lot of people, not one of you is missing! Today I will warn you again - never put all your eggs in one basket, diversification of investment is very important."

Li Gaofu must be able to listen to Jinkou's kind words.

"Well, I must keep this sentence in mind!"

Lin Zhichao nodded. He supported Li Zhaoji, Tang Zhongyuan, and Li Gaofu all at his own pace.

It's like Airship Tai said coquettishly in his previous life: "I have never betrayed anyone! Many people have followed me and made a fortune!"

After the dinner, everyone boarded their own cars.

Li Gaofu got on the car he bought, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He sometimes didn't expect that he could develop so fast in two years.

If we talk about working hard, he must be working very hard, but more often than not, he followed the right people.
