The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 134 [Successful internal scrolling] (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

"The U.S. government officially announced that starting from December 1950, 12, a comprehensive licensing system will be implemented for exports to mainland China, Hong Kong, and Omen."

After reading this news, Lin Zhichao was silent.

He is from Huaxia, so he naturally has a heart for Huaxia.

The reason why he is not involved in 'smuggling' is because he is calculating the cost.

If he smuggled, his contribution would not be much.

He is not even familiar with the surrounding waters, sea risks, etc.; he doesn't know where to buy western medicine and black iron, and the lines are like mountains.

But if he becomes a world-class businessman, he can support the economy of the motherland by 1978, even if he donates money, it will benefit millions of compatriots, or even more.

Which is lighter and heavier, at a glance.

Therefore, he decided to endure the humiliation.

As for his business with the Japanese, it has no effect at all, because the mainland has always traded with Japan before and now, and actively seeks trade.

In business is business, this is the law of the business world.

"What's the news, so engrossed?" Tang Caiyun sat beside Lin Zhichao and asked curiously.

Lin Zhichao reacted, and then gave her the newspaper.

After a long time, Tang Caiyun said: "How much impact will this have on Hong Kong? Will the citizens feel the embargo directly now?"

She is a businessman's wife, and this directly affects her and the family.

Lin Zhichao said: "It can't be said that, there is always a way to import goods, not to mention that European countries are embargoed under the coercion of the United States, so the huge enterprise of 'smuggling' will definitely be derived. But anyway, recently In Hong Kong for a few years, the re-export trade will gradually decline, and the manufacturing industry will also be hit to a certain extent, but it is more of an opportunity.”

"Has that affected your career?"

"no!"

Lin Zhichao said firmly.

In terms of shipping, there is a shortage of ships in the Far East;

In terms of real estate, bargain hunting is just right;
In terms of industry, the layout has long been established.

Especially in terms of industry, it is a very wise move for Lin Zhichao to open the zipper factory to Xingdao;

At present, Cheung Kong’s zipper industry can still make a profit of 45 Hong Kong dollars per month, and it can only be said that the performance growth has stopped;
After the raw materials of Changjiang Plastic Factory are settled, there will be no worries in the next few years, because the market itself is Hong Kong and Southeast Asia;

The same is true for the Changjiang Garment Factory, and even opened up the South African market, which is enough to digest it in the past few years;
The crocodile shirts under Uniqlo are currently only based in the Hong Kong market.

Overall, Cheung Kong has not been greatly affected.

On the contrary, by virtue of the embargo, it stood out from many factories in Hong Kong.

Involve!success!
In the end, Tang Caiyun felt sorry for Lin Zhichao and said: "You have to travel to many companies this day, do your work well, and pay attention to rest. You are still so young, everything can be done slowly!"

But she knew that Lin Zhichao got up at [-]:[-] every day, read newspapers and books, and arrived at a company on time at [-]:[-]. He might meet with clients or friends in a tea restaurant at noon to discuss matters, continue to work in the afternoon, and try his best to avoid social companions at night. The family eats, and maybe reads for an hour or two after eating, and they toss her and Xu Caiying in the middle of the night.

After such a day, this man is moving every moment.

Lin Zhichao signaled that he was fine, and then said: "I've been thinking about it recently. I'm going to make a good plan for the organization of the Yangtze River Group. At the top is the 'Cheung Kong Holdings Group Company', and below it is divided into two major groups - the Yangtze River Industry Group and the Yangtze River Group. Industrial Group. The Yangtze River Industry Group is in charge of manufacturing, and the Yangtze River Industry Group is in charge of real estate development (real estate belongs to industry).”

He is happy to tell Tang Caiyun these thoughts, because she will come to work in the company sooner or later.

Tang Caiyun listened and memorized, she knew her man's thoughts and was happy to share his worries.

"It would be even better if the child in my belly was a boy!"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, anyway, we are in such good health, we will always get what we want."

What a boy, don't we just train one to manage Changjiang Industry and the other to manage Changjiang Industry in the future.

morning.

Lin Zhichao invited Tang Zhongyuan to his office of Cheung Kong Industries.

"Father-in-law, I plan to separate the Changjiang Garment Factory, and you will go out and establish the Dongfang Garment Factory independently."

Tang Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "What kind of family is divided? Just take the shares and use it as Caiying's dowry. Originally, you were the one who founded it. How dare I talk about dividing the family."

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Father-in-law doesn't think I still care about that, does he?"

Tang Zhongyuan saw Lin Zhichao's calm expression, coupled with his recent performance, it was indeed impossible to see the anger of their husband and wife.To be honest, he, Lin Zhichao, has nothing to lose, he married both his own daughter and adopted daughter.

"What are your thoughts?"

Lin Zhichao nodded and continued: "I just want a signboard of the Yangtze River Garment Factory, and some machines and skilled workers to ensure the production of crocodile shirts. In this way, you actually get the entire Yangtze River Garment Factory, Just change the name to Oriental Garment Factory.”

Tang Zhongyuan said in surprise: "What are you doing, and I'm not that kind of greedy person. Besides, the Yangtze River Garment Factory can have today, and the biggest credit should be you."

Lin Zhichao said: "But I don't care about this industry! On the contrary, if you win it, you can form a one-stop industrial chain of 'textile dyeing', and all of them are the leaders in Hong Kong."

Lin Zhichao never wavered in supporting his father-in-law.

Seeing that Lin Zhichao spoke sincerely, Tang Zhongyuan seemed to really not want to be in the garment industry. After thinking about it, he said, "Then I will buy you 100 shares based on the value of 70 million. Then how much do you want for machines and skilled workers?" Give them all."

Lin Zhichao said straightforwardly: "Yes, you can pay the money after a year or two. I'm not short of that money. I'm about [-] to [-] percent for the machines and the number of workers."

Before the embargo, Tang Zhongyuan also bought some textile machines, and he also had a little loan, so obviously he couldn't afford 70 Hong Kong dollars.However, once he acquires the entire garment factory business, the entire Oriental Textile will become a large enterprise with an annual profit of millions.

"Okay, it will be paid off almost next year."

In this transaction, Tang Zhongyuan knew that he still took a big advantage. The machines of the Changjiang Garment Factory were worth 80 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention the Singer sewing machines that even rich people may not be able to buy, at least for now.

And those customers are even more important, especially those in South Africa, whose value cannot be described in cash.As my son-in-law said, as long as I make a good list in South Africa, I will be the 'King of Africa' in the future.

This shows that this son-in-law dotes on his daughter very much, so he loves the house as much as he loves it.

Walking out of Changjiang Industrial, Tang Zhongyuan suddenly felt like a dream. Once he got the business and production of Changjiang Garment Factory, he would truly be comparable to industrialists such as Wang Tongyuan and Tang Bingyuan.

Moreover, he has heard a lot about the prospects of the textile industry from his son-in-law. For example, the textile industry should find a way to enter Indonesia and South Africa, and then find a way to enter Europe and the United States.Although he is a layman, this development pattern is very reasonable.

"Good son-in-law!"

After Tang Zhongyuan left.

Lin Zhichao is also considering this decision. He doesn't really look down on the garment industry, but he doesn't want to be too close to the Tang family business.After all, the daughter has already been cheated.

Therefore, after the Yangtze River Garment Factory returns to Cheung Kong Industrial, it will continue to produce in the factory on the third floor, mainly serving crocodile shirts.In the future, it can also be a high-quality foundry for other clothing brands.

In this way, Cheung Kong Industries also has its own garment manufacturing capabilities and will continue to invest in this area.

Lin Zhichao can also be regarded as supporting Tang Zhongyuan's "textile and dyeing" industry chain, and he is considered a good son-in-law.What's more, Dongfang Textile's 25 square feet of land in Tsuen Wan is already worth a lot.

"dong dong"

"Come in"

Wang Liang, the deputy general manager of Changjiang Industrial, walked in respectfully.

For Wang Liang, Lin Zhichao is very optimistic. He has a very strong ability to accept, and he is relatively calm in doing things. He can execute Lin Zhichao's orders very well.

Cheung Kong has some highly educated talents, and they mostly act as middle and low-level managers and technicians. It is these highly educated talents who have laid the backbone of Cheung Kong. But Lin Zhichao will not easily believe in their abilities, so They won't be at the top for a long time.

For the time being, Lin Zhichao trusts the veterans and veterans who followed him to fight with him. This can be said to be offensive and defensive.

"After a while, I plan to use 'Changjiang Industry' as the parent company of companies such as Changjiang Zipper, Changjiang Plastics, Changjiang Garment Factory, and Uniqlo. At that time, you will still be my deputy and the vice president of Changjiang Industry Manager, also serves as the general manager of Changjiang Zipper.”

Hearing this, Wang Liang said calmly, "Well, thank you boss for the promotion."

Not actually promoted, but just more formal.

Lin Zhichao said: "In the future, Changjiang Industry will expand many subsidiaries, such as smelters, machinery factories, and ship breaking yards. For example, Changjiang Plastic Factory will branch out to a Changjiang Toy Factory. In short, Changjiang Industry represents the manufacturing industry, and I will always insist on investing in the manufacturing industry.”

He already has a complete "industrial empire" in his mind, of course, it can be called a "primary industrial empire" if it sounds ugly. As for whether it can be developed into an "advanced industrial empire", it will be a matter of the post-80s.

Wang Liang was taken aback by Lin Zhichao's plan, then quickly stabilized his mind and said, "I will make progress with the company, and I will definitely not hold back the boss."

He knew that the boss had always encouraged everyone to learn more, and he was afraid that he would have the desire to cultivate everyone, so he would not stand still.

Lin Zhichao nodded, and said: "We can recruit talents, but highly educated talents who have just joined the company usually start from the bottom and climb up step by step. And you old people in the company, if you want not to be replaced, if you don't learn , No matter how much I trust, it is impossible to entrust him with important tasks."

"I see!"

"Then who do you think is the most suitable to take over as the deputy general manager of Changjiang Zipper Factory?"

"It should be Manager Bao. He has been doing very steadily in Xingdao without losing his drive."

Lin Zhichao nodded in satisfaction, and stopped talking about this, because there is plenty of time to complete this organizational structure, and there is no rush.

Lin Zhichao was also very satisfied with Wang Liangneng's recommendation of Bao Chunlai, because he felt the same way.

The deputy general manager is actually the 'executive vice president' and has the actual management power.

"In this way, you go to Singapore and plan with Manager Bao to import zipper raw materials from the United States, and then try to export them. In short, you must clarify whether the United States has imposed restrictions on the Sing Tao factory."

Sing Tao Factory is not an independent kingdom, even Lin Zhichao will fly once a month and stay for a day or two.

"Okay, I'll arrange it and fly to Star Island."

"Um"

At this time, Cheung Kong had already paid off a loan of 150 million yuan and interest of 18 yuan from the Bank of East Asia, and there was still a cash flow of more than 50 Hong Kong dollars in the account, and raw materials purchased with its own funds of 180 million Hong Kong dollars.

The 300 million loan from the Bank of East Asia is actually all raw materials stored in the warehouse, so it may not be included in liabilities.

Coupled with the 70 Hong Kong dollars owed by Tang Zhongyuan to Changjiang Industrial, this year Changjiang Industrial can be regarded as a bumper harvest.In fact, Cheung Kong has also purchased 3 other types of zipper rice arranging machines this year, some small machines, and a half-mountain western-style building.

Cheung Kong’s current annual profit can still maintain 500 to 600 million Hong Kong dollars a year, and it is estimated that it will be able to maintain a small and stable growth in the past three years.The market is expanding with the development of the economy, even if it joins Asian competitors, the business will still grow.

Lin Zhichao sighed in the office: "Finally, I can withdraw funds and buy land!"

He plans to buy land on Orchard Road in Sing Tao early next year, which will cost about 20 square feet, which is estimated to be less than 150 million Hong Kong dollars.Orchard Road and even Sing Tao are not developed at all at this time, and the land is very cheap.

Moreover, some land in Hong Kong will be reserved next year.

Anyway, in the past two years, the industry can only take it slowly, at least until the end of the peninsula war to facilitate the import of machinery.Therefore, [-]% to [-]% of Cheung Kong's money will naturally flow into land properties.

"dong dong"

"Come in"

It was Lin Zhichao's second uncle who came in, and he said with the attitude of a subordinate, "Boss, you call me."

Lin Zhichao nodded, then took out an envelope from the desk drawer, stood up and came to Lin Yunjie.

"Second Uncle, this is a sum of money. You go to Changjiang Real Estate in Central Chinatown to buy a one-story house. I have asked them to leave the house to you. After buying the existing house in Mong Kok, Kowloon, you can move in directly."

Lin Yunjie immediately pushed back his wallet and said, "How can I do that! I'm getting your salary now, and you're also paying for the children's expenses. How can I still use your money to buy a house! I don't want it!"

He is already very satisfied. Although the rented house is only 300 square feet, the environment is better than others living in wooden houses or iron houses; the salary is also 260 yuan, which is enough to support a family; the children's tuition, clothing, etc., are handed over to him in advance by his nephew every semester. he a sum of money.

In his opinion, no matter how rich his nephew is, that is his ability. He can't take it for granted, and the same is true for educating children.What's more, at his age, as long as the child has hope in the future.

After Lin Zhichao's two years of observation, Lin Yunjie is the kind of person with backbone, and the Lin family's family style is like this, after all, he was once rich.

He directly took Lin Yunjie's hand and stuffed the envelope to him.

"Take my second uncle, my uncle Lin Zhichao, renting a house for a long time is outrageous. People will laugh at me if they find out. Besides, it is good to buy a house early. No matter how fast your salary rises, it may not be as good as the house price in ten years. rising speed."

Under his nephew's momentum, Lin Yunjie couldn't bear to refute, so he was so moved that he couldn't speak.

Afterwards, Lin Zhichao changed the subject to learn about the studies of his cousins.

After getting a positive answer, I am also very happy.

Finally, he asked: "How many pounds of plastic are there in the warehouse?"

When Lin Yunjie heard that it was work, he quickly said: "There are still 87.8 pounds of plastic, which are in good condition and the warehouse is also very safe."

Lin Zhichao nodded, and spent almost 120 million Hong Kong dollars to buy plastics. The cost of plastics imported from the United States was only 1.2 Hong Kong dollars per pound, while the average price of plastics imported from Hong Kong wholesalers was about 2.2 to 2.4 Hong Kong dollars.

"Well, I see!"

"Okay, then I'll go to work first."

"Well, take care of yourself."

After Lin Yunjie left, Lin Zhichao also thought about plastic raw materials.

With so much plastic, three years must be enough.

He even thinks that in the first half of next year, he should sell 30 million pounds at [-] Hong Kong dollars per pound, and then withdraw some funds.

With the outbreak of the embargo, many plastic factories in Hong Kong are complaining, their raw materials have doubled, and they are worried that they will be out of stock, so everyone is rushing to buy the only raw materials left by Hong Kong wholesalers.

In fact, the raw materials on the market have long been bought up by shrewd businessmen.

Next, everyone can only do everything possible to obtain plastic raw materials.But one thing is certain, the cost price will not be lower than three Hong Kong dollars per pound.

Three days later, Gao Qiqiang came to Lin Zhichao's office and reported: "Boss, Yamaguchi Steamship wants to renew the contract immediately, and I hope you go to Japan. They also said that they are willing to renew the contract at a very high price, and they must continue to charter the ship to them."

Lin Zhichao raised his head, with no surprise on his face, and said, "Reply to them first, I will find time to come to Japan next week to discuss chartering matters."

There is still a month to expire, why rush for a while.

What's more, the current market is "the boat is king", he can't be too urgent.

A reasonable price and a minimum lease of three years are Lin Zhichao's requirements.

"Okay, I'll reply to them right away."

After Gao Qiqiang left, Lin Zhichao smiled.Lin Zhichao can understand Yamaguchi Steamship's eagerness to renew the lease of the three ships. Japan is short of ships, and the performance of the three ships is also very good.

Why don't Japanese shipping companies buy ships?
First, strict foreign exchange control;
Second, they like to rent a boat, which is clean and tidy;

Third, it will be difficult to find ships, crews, etc. for a while, but the goods are in a hurry.

In a few years, it will be even more so in Japan, and there will be a new one. The wages of Japanese seafarers are high.Moreover, in order to support shipbuilding enterprises, Japan offered foreign shipowners a lower interest rate for building Japanese ships than Japanese businessmen; so in the end, a large part of Japanese shipping companies leased ships from Hong Kong.
