The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 186 [Filling the gap in the market] (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

In early April, at Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong, Tang Caiyun gave birth to another son, named Lin Ruikai.

Today, Lin Zhichao already has four sons, namely Lin Ruihuan, Lin Ruijiang, Lin Ruihai (produced by Xu Caiying), and Lin Ruikai. The family is prosperous.

In the VIP room, Xu Caiying hugged Lin Ruikai who had just been born, and said, "I don't worry that he is a boy!"

Tang Caiyun leaned on the bed, guarded by her husband, and said warmly: "Why don't you rest assured that he is a boy?"

Xu Caiying said as a matter of course: "According to probability, our family already has four boys, so my next child may be a little princess, what a wonderful thing! Rare things are more expensive, and by then the four brothers will not pampered."

Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun laughed. In fact, this child, everyone already vaguely wanted a daughter, but the thing is so strange, maybe Lin Zhichao has a 'boy gene'.

"That's not necessarily true, I plan to have another one, maybe the 'little princess' won't be in your house!" Tang Caiyun said intentionally.

Xu Caiying suddenly got excited, and said: "That's good too! From now on, the little princess born to me will be my sister, and the little princess born to my sister will be my sister. Let my sister spoil my sister since childhood, and continue the friendship between us. It's just the other way around. I think It feels good to think about it!"

Since she was a child, she liked to follow Tang Caiyun around, even when she was sleeping at night, she liked to go to her sister's room; her sister was attached to her sister, and her sister doted on her sister.

Tang Caiyun said: "Being an older sister is not easy, you have to learn to share everything with your younger sister!" After finishing speaking, she said meaningfully.

Xu Caiying blushed, and said coquettishly, "Sister!"

Lin Zhichao laughed 'haha', and then said: "My daughter will definitely not be like this, even the British prince is not worthy."

Tang Caiyun quickly added: "It's natural! But the laws of Hong Kong should also be reformed, right? In the 70s and [-]s?"

Tang Caiyun still hates polygamy, but of course she thinks it is acceptable for her husband, anyway, Xu Caiying has a good relationship with her since childhood.

Lin Zhichao said: "As the economy improves, reforms will naturally follow."

For Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying, reform is of course a good thing, so as to prevent Lin Zhichao from marrying another wife.They are already worried that Lin Zhichao still has a house overseas. If he has been raised overseas, it is acceptable; but if he just marries in, everyone will not get along as well as they do now.

They also know that with Lin Zhichao's "super power" in that area, it is very rare to be able to not be lecherous, and he has very good self-control.

Like many other rich people in Hong Kong, how many houses they have in their homes, and they often go out to find flowers and ask willows, that is the normal state of Hong Kong rich people.

The next day.

When Lin Zhichao came to the Yangtze River Industrial Park, the fourth new factory building was already under construction and was expected to be put into use in October. This is a five-story industrial building with a floor area of ​​about 15 square feet.

This industrial building is ready to be used for zipper production, while the original three-storey zipper factory can be reserved as a spare workshop, ready to be put into use at any time, such as the production of plastic flowers, Barbie dolls, etc.

Only one floor is enough for a wig factory, and the plastic flower industry is much larger than the wig industry; because of this, Hong Kong’s plastic industry in the previous life also separated into a plastic flower industry, and the two industries are side by side. It can be seen that the plastic flower industry How huge.

In his previous life, Li Jiacheng earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the plastic flower industry. This was because the scale of his factory could not keep up at the beginning, and many other factories seized a lot of market share. This situation did not exist in Changjiang Plastic Factory.

"Boss, the European Toy Factory sent a message that they need to order another 15 Bill Lily and [-] sets of six-style costumes." Ke Yanping walked into the boss's office excitedly and reported a good news.

Lin Zhichao felt a little surprised when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he took it for granted.Even if sales reach 15 Beau Lilys this year, this is a very normal level.

Schrader's Gauss, Muto and others only need to rely on market sales to make advance orders. After all, production and transportation will take about two months.

"Well, pay attention to quality and production efficiency, and complete orders on time."

Ke Yanping nodded, and then said: "No problem, we plan to deliver in three batches, so as not to delay things. We don't need to work overtime too much to avoid affecting quality."

It does make sense. If you work overtime late at night, your spirit will inevitably decline, and it is easy to produce defective products.At present, many production lines of Changjiang Industry are implemented in two shifts, which is conducive to the rest of the employees and improves the survival efficiency.

"How about other toys?" Lin Zhichao asked.

You should know that Beer Lily's Asian agent belongs to Changjiang Toys Factory. At the same time, Changjiang Toys Factory also has the "Bond Toys" brand and OEM business for European and American toy manufacturers.

On the whole, although the Changjiang Toy Factory does not currently make money in the wig industry (high profits, the industry leader), it is larger than the wig factory in terms of scale.

"Another OEM toy manufacturer has another North American Bond brand toy, which is very popular in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Overall, the development is in a state of steady growth. By the way, our oldest competitor - Kaida Industry, also It has entered the field of OEM toys for Europe and the United States—production of springs, gears, and trolley toys, and its strength cannot be underestimated." Ke Yanping reported seriously.

He actually knew that the boss knew about it, and there was almost nothing he could hide from the boss, but he needed to report it in detail.

After Lin Zhichao heard the words, he didn't take Kaida Industry seriously. He didn't expect OEM to make money, but a comprehensive development plan; in fact, the core of Changjiang Toy Factory will be "own brand and high-quality value-added innovative toys'.

Kaida Industrial is one of the largest plastic factories in Hong Kong. In recent years, it has been the main rival of Changjiang Plastic Factory, but everyone lives in peace and there is no vicious competition.Today, it is logical for Kaida Industry to enter the toy field. After all, the plastic factory has a toy business from the very beginning, and most of the toys are made of plastic.

The important thing is that Kaida Industrial has abundant funds. As early as 1948, its boss Ding Houzhao borrowed 300 million Hong Kong dollars from the bank to build factories and produce plastics and toys.

Lin Zhichao doesn't like the foundry industry. Although he is also in this business now, he has a lot of "creative toys" projects after all.

"I plan to let the Yangtze River Industry Group recruit a group of talents and elites, arrange them to the Changjiang Toy Factory, and expand our management team. You, the general manager, should focus on the world level, such as the two toys that we partnered with. To maintain communication and contact with the factory, and to investigate the advantages of the world's toy manufacturers, etc., the overseas inspection should be organized, and the production and management business in Hong Kong should be delegated to subordinates to form a large modern toy enterprise."

Ke Yanping has a good level of education, and has worked in Changjiang Industry for four or five years. No matter how big the company under Lin Zhichao is, he is willing to trust these "insiders"; of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, their insight, experience, and knowledge. As the business expands, grow.

"Well, I understand what the boss means!" Ke Yanping said confidently.

He knew the positioning and development trend of Changjiang Toys Factory since the boss partnered with two overseas toy companies, and he has been with the boss for so many years, and he also knows that the boss looks down on small toy companies and must become a big one.Therefore, he has always been strict with himself.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "You are the general manager. I hope you are not only my first assistant in the toy business, but also a leader with independent capabilities."

Ke Yanping knows that the boss is delegating power to him. After all, the boss has so many businesses that it is impossible to do every industry by himself. It is already very powerful to be able to give everyone a bright light and guide the general direction.

"Okay, I will definitely do more to share the boss's worries!"

For the toy industry, Lin Zhichao still attaches great importance to it, but it is impossible for him to spend too much energy on it, so it is more about cultivating the abilities of his subordinates.As for him, of course he is the role of strategist.

For a classic toy project, it is more necessary to cultivate IP, such as Barbie dolls.Even if it is a Rubik's Cube with a patent, it needs to be accepted by the market, more people will participate, and more parents will feel that this product is beneficial to the development of intelligence; this requires organizing competitions and publicity.

After that, Lin Zhichao came to Changjiang Plastic Factory and visited the plastic flower laboratory accompanied by Tao Derong.A total of seven technicians participated in this project, all of whom signed a three-year labor contract and a technical confidentiality contract.

"Boss, through our investigation of information (plastic information) and research during this period, we have formulated three general directions for plastic flowers-the first is formula coloring, the second is molding combination, and the third is style and variety." Project team The team leader, Cheng Guangpu, is a Chinese and a veteran plastic talent in Changjiang Plastic Factory. He reported the progress of the project seriously.

Cheng Guangpu feels that he has got a great opportunity this time. There are also two foreign plastic talents in this project, which shows that the boss attaches great importance to it.

Lin Zhichao heard Cheng Guangpu's confidence, so he asked: "In half a year, can you fully understand the technology?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Guangpu said without hesitation, "No problem!"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Manager Tao, you need to work closely with the R&D team to provide some data, such as what kind of flowers do Europeans like? What kind of flowers do North Americans like? What kind of flowers do Hong Kong like? According to these Market research, produce different colors and styles of 'wax samples', and then go to the market to investigate, and after confirming that it is correct, we will carry out targeted production in the future."

"Well, I see!" Tao Derong said seriously.

He knows that once the plastic flower is successfully developed, the daily necessities business of Changjiang Plastic Factory will be cut off, because the boss has not cared about this business for a long time.

So if he wants to gain the status of the group, he must achieve great success in 'Plastic Flower'.And 'Plastic Flower' is a world-class 'product to fill a blank market'. Once successful, Changjiang Plastic Factory will gain huge economic benefits and reputation.

Afterwards, Lin Zhichao and everyone learned about the details of the research and development of plastic flowers.

Although he didn't intend to join, he had to understand clearly.

"Boss, this is the list of materials that were photographed this time. Would you like to have a look?" Lu Bensheng, the general manager of Changjiang Trading, handed over a document and said respectfully.

Although he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he didn't dare to get carried away and claim credit in front of the boss.

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then opened the file.

“日产吉普车235辆、起重机18台、推土机26台、开山机（碎石头）21台.总拍卖价360万港币！”

Cheap, really cheap!
Lin Zhichao only calculated in his mind, and found that this batch of goods had a profit of at least 300 million.

"Is the transportation done?"

"The ship arranged by Global Shipping said that it can be arranged along the way, and charged an internal price of 8 Hong Kong dollars."

A Liberty Wheel can accommodate 2840 jeeps, 260 medium tanks or 440 light tanks, 2.3 million rounds of ammunition, and large equipment such as aircraft, tanks, and locomotives can be moored on the deck, which is enough to arm a light armored brigade or motorized infantry brigade .

Therefore, there are more than 200 jeepneys in the area, and global shipping can indeed be easily arranged, even if the ship is on a long-term lease.

Later, Lin Zhichao said: "You can sell these mechanical equipment that can be used in real estate to Changjiang Industrial. As for the jeep, have you thought about the sales channel?"

Lu Bensheng said relaxedly: "As long as we release the news, this batch of goods will become a hot commodity immediately. Like this jeep, Hengchang Trading, Jiehe Automobile, etc., I'm afraid they are rushing to get it. If you don't want to sell it at Aomen, Merchants from Southeast Asia will also buy it. When it arrives in Hong Kong, it will be sold out! As long as everyone knows that we have an 'approval' in hand, everyone will only contact us in the future."

This is true, parallel imports are too profitable, and there is no tax in Hong Kong!

Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "Good job, your bonus will be counted at the end of the year!"

Lu Bensheng hurriedly said modestly: "It's just running errands. If it weren't for the boss's connections, everything would be impossible. Those who envy our 'approval', I'm afraid there is nothing they can do!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Not necessarily, there are always people with good means. You are too underestimating other Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong. Of course, we don't expect this business to make a fortune. You have to take care of it. Don't buy unfamiliar materials. To raise the price or something, in short, it is a part-time job, not a real job."

Lu Bensheng said on his face, "I understand!"

Changjiang trade is the raw material guarantee for the entire Yangtze River Industry Group, of course he understands the importance.

The next day.

In the conference room of Cheung Kong Industrial, various executives gathered together.

Huang Changhong, deputy general manager and engineering department, Hu Zhaoxu from the marketing department, Zhou Fuzhao from the finance department, Chen Xu from the development department, etc., are a total of about ten managers.In fact, there are more than ten employees.

The main reason is that the construction system in this era is relatively simple, and many real estate companies can develop real estate projects with only a few people.Even in the era of high-rise buildings in a few years, a real estate company with more than a dozen people can still operate, just outsourcing design and construction.

As long as the business of the local real estate company grows bigger and bigger, its own organizational structure will also become bigger and bigger.

Obviously, Cheung Kong will go ahead.

"The establishment of the seven-storey building project in Shek Kip Mei means that the Hong Kong government may relax the restrictions on building heights in the next two years. Of course, even if it is not possible for a while, I believe that Hong Kong's real estate and shipping have ushered in spring. Therefore, We have to make some preparations in advance.”

"First, establish a subsidiary, Poly Construction. My trading company has purchased a large number of cranes, bulldozers and other equipment from the US military stationed in Japan, which will be supplied to Poly Construction, and then undertake business first to accumulate experience."

"Secondly, set up a subsidiary company to do the business of mining quarries. With the busy construction industry, quarries in Hong Kong are all manual and inefficient. I just have a batch of mountain openers for investment in the quarry industry. Improve efficiency."

All of a sudden, everyone showed joy.

Cheung Kong owns a wealth of property and land, but it is relatively conservative in real estate development. It can build about a dozen tenements a year, just to support people.

The establishment of these two subsidiaries now means that the boss clearly wants to increase real estate investment.

"Manager Huang, who do you think is the most suitable general manager of the construction company?" Lin Zhichao asked Huang Changhong. In fact, he also had someone in mind.

Huang Changhong said without hesitation: "I recommend Paul Li. He graduated from a prestigious university of architecture and was arranged by you to study abroad a few years ago. Now he is very useful."

A 30-year-old man with glasses suppressed the joy in his heart, trying to show that he listened to the orders of the leaders.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Very well, Paul will be the general manager of Poly Construction!"

Paul Li said quickly: "Yes, boss. I will definitely work hard!"

Lin Zhichao immediately asked, "What should I do?"

Paul Li said: "Undertake the projects of our company and others to build a good reputation; upgrade the license of the construction company and get the C-level license as soon as possible; learn a lot of advanced construction technology in Europe and America, especially the technology of high-rise buildings."

"Do well, the group will give you the greatest support."

"Ok"

Lin Zhichao nodded in satisfaction. A construction company has an A-level license and can only undertake small projects of less than 100 million yuan.However, with the resources of Poly Construction, it can be upgraded to a B-level license soon; even the highest C-level license is also very easy.

In any case, the future real estate projects of Cheung Kong Industrial will all be the work of Poly Construction, and it is impossible for outsiders to do it.Even if it is too late to meet the standard, it is possible to invite a sufficient level of cooperation, or to list, of course, this is unlikely.

It’s just that design plans and drawings are usually designed by hiring well-known architects or studios.

Next, Lin Zhichao said: "As for the quarry company, don't worry. It is still not enough to use mechanical mining at the moment. Wait for half a year and see!"

Everyone nodded. After all, the quarry used by Tanglou is limited.

After the meeting, Lin Zhichao called Paul Li to his office and said, "Go and find a project manager named Lu Xiaopei, and let him be our project supervisor."

Paul Lee said: "Is he from Shanghai? I've heard of him. He didn't understand Cantonese at the beginning, which often affected the construction; but he could speak English and Shanghai dialect, so he also had an advantage. Later, he was able to speak Cantonese very well. It is appreciated by the boss. But if you can invest in a big company, there is no problem in getting it."

Lin Zhichao said: "Well, I will handle this matter for you. Your construction company will boldly recruit any talents it needs. I am not afraid of raising them, but I am afraid that they will be short of manpower when I am busy."

"Okay, boss!"

Paul Li also understands that Cheung Kong has bought so many properties in the past few years, and the boss is just waiting for the opportunity to rebuild.
