The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 195 [Lin Family's City]

Late at night, Li Jiacheng came to the home of his uncle Li Yunsong.

He couldn't wait to ask: "Cousin, did you learn anything at the Changjiang Plastic Factory?"

It turns out that since the plastic flower was listed in the Hong Kong store, Li Jiacheng has seen the huge business opportunities contained in it; although Changhe Plastic Factory is still in the process of repaying debts, he is determined to enter the plastic flower industry as soon as possible and become the first wave Plastic flower factory.

Therefore, he planned to send people to work in the Yangtze River Plastic Factory, and then learn technology from it.Originally, he wanted to learn it himself, but he was worried about being recognized, and Changhe Plastic Factory still had to do its best to pay off the debt.

Cousin Li Shulin smiled wryly and said: "Cousin, the key technology of plastic flowers in Changjiang Plastic Factory is in the hands of those technicians, and the workers can only have a rough look. I was suspected of being a spy because I took a few more glances. Today Just got fired."

Li Jiacheng suddenly said in surprise: "Then they fired the workers just based on suspicion? This is too hasty!"

Li Shulin said: "The main reason is that I left my job to observe other work procedures, and was dismissed by the vigilant management on the grounds of leaving the job without authorization. But anyway, Changjiang Plastic Factory is very strict in terms of technical secrecy. .All their technicians signed a three-year contract, and they were not allowed to leave the job within three years, otherwise they would be compensated ten times their salary, and everyone kept their technology secret, even when I invited them to dinner, they were rejected."

After listening to it, Li Jiacheng was at a loss for what to do. Through the plastic flower samples, he could only understand a little superficiality, and he didn't know the technical essentials at all.

At this time, Li Yunsong said: "People say that Lin Zhichao is a very benevolent person. When the Changjiang Wig Factory was first introduced to Hong Kong, businessmen were allowed to go to inspect it, and even helped train the workers to support everyone. Because of this, Hong Kong's wig industry is now It supports more than 3000 workers. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhichao regards the plastic flower industry as a secret and leaks it strictly. It seems that he wants to eat alone!"

At present, the plastic flower technology has not been leaked in Hong Kong. Although everyone is jealous, there is no channel to obtain the technology.When it was introduced to Hong Kong in the previous life, everyone was still able to show their talents and go abroad to steal technology; this life is obviously not possible, because only the Yangtze River Plastic Factory in the world knows the plastic flower technology.

Therefore, within three months, it is impossible for anyone to produce it; within half a year, there should be many manufacturers who can produce it.

Li Jiacheng said: "This plastic flower has a patented technology. I think the Changjiang Plastic Factory is unwilling to pass it on. Moreover, the prospect of plastic flowers is much bigger than that of wigs. They must want to make more money. But plastic flowers are currently a new product in the market and will not be popular in the short term. Globally, as long as we enter early this year, we will definitely get a share. As for Lin Zhichao's performance in wigs, it is not so noble, but he wants to be the hegemony of the industry and let many wig factories be their OEM factories."

He could see very clearly that plastic flowers were a new thing after all, and Changjiang Plastics Factory wanted to monopolize it, but it was impossible for it to be realistic, because it would take time for the market to accept it.

Li Yunsong said: "Indeed, if you can get others to work for him and get a lot of applause, why not do it. It shows that this person is very powerful and scheming! Because of this, if you want to get technology from Changjiang Plastic Factory, you have to do it." It's a bit difficult!"

Changhe Plastic Factory is dominated by the nephew, but their father and son also own a small amount of shares.

Li Jiacheng said: "Cousin, have you sorted out what you have seen and heard!"

"Yes, I'll give it to you, it's just some fur!"

Afterwards, Li Shulin took out a piece of paper with some knowledge written on it.

Li Jiacheng said while watching: "There is another way, that is to go to the homes of those technicians, we buy some technical information. In this way, things will not be leaked, and the technicians don't have to worry about trouble, and they can get a fortune." money."

When Li Shulin heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "It makes sense, I happen to know a technician, and I will go find him later."

Li Jiacheng nodded and said, "Yes. Changhe Plastic Factory is expected to have half a year to pay off its debts, but we obviously can't wait that long. Why don't we mobilize relatives and friends to raise funds, and I will find a way to raise some."

Li Yunsong immediately agreed and said, "Yes, this is not a loan, and everyone will agree."

When the Cheung Wo Plastic Factory was in trouble, relatives and friends ran away one after another, because they were worried that the money would be wasted. Now it is different, the Cheung Wo Plastic Factory has not closed down, but still owes money.Coupled with the prospect of Plastic Flower, everyone is bound to be willing to invest in it.

Li Jiacheng breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, he couldn't wait to make plastic flowers.While producing other products, while researching the technology of plastic flowers, he is confident that the plastic flowers will be produced in the first half of the year.

In fact, no matter how secret the Yangtze River Plastic Factory was, many businessmen resorted to various methods.

Absolute secrecy does not exist!
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Lin Zhichao visited his uncle Lin Yunchu's wig factory.

There are [-] to [-] workers in this factory. Both Lin Yunchu and Shen Yunlian work in the factory. They are both bosses and workers. Anyway, this factory is equivalent to a satellite factory of Changjiang Wig Factory.

"Uncle, did you make a lot of money last year?" Lin Zhichao came to Lin Yunchu's office and asked with a smile.

The 15 he lent to Lin Yunchu was repaid right away, so his uncle was a very honest and honest person; after all, the two were relatives, uncles and nephews, if Lin Yunchu didn't repay the money, Lin Zhichao would never ask for it.

After all, it was rumored that it wasn't Lin Yunchu that everyone scolded, it might be Lin Zhichao.After all, you are so rich, do you still care about the 15 Hong Kong dollars lent to your uncle?
People always favor the weak side.

At this time, Shen Yunlian, who made tea for Lin Zhichao, offered a treasure and said: "I have earned more than 30 yuan!" After finishing speaking, she respectfully served tea to her nephew.

Lin Zhichao quickly took the teacup, thanked him, and then said with a smile: "If you pay me back, it's only 20 yuan!"

Shen Yunlian said: "Of course we should pay it back, we all owe you such great favor and help!"

When Lin Yunchu saw his wife walking around his nephew, he knew it was a flattery, but he was too enthusiastic, so he said, "Yunlian, go out and supervise the production first."

Shen Yunlian had no choice but to withdraw. She also wanted to flatter her nephew, but it was obvious that her husband disliked her too much.

Afterwards, Lin Yunchu said: "I made a little over 36 yuan, and now I still have more than 20 yuan."

Lin Zhichao nodded and asked, "Uncle, what do you think of the wig industry?"

This is the test!

Lin Yunchu immediately said: "The cost is rising, and more and more people are making wigs. I heard that some new factories can only operate half the time! I don't think the demand in Europe and the United States has decreased, but Hong Kong's production capacity is too high."

Indeed, the popularity of wigs in the United States has not yet reached its peak, and it is estimated that it will reach its peak in the early 60s.But Hong Kong now has [-] or [-] wig factories, and the quality is also uneven, which will naturally have a certain impact.

Lin Zhichao said: "In general, the demand for wigs in Europe and the United States will gradually increase, so as long as the products are good, there is no problem in making money. If better products can be developed, they will be favored by agents."

Lin Yunchu said: "I also organized a few people to conduct research on the technology and quality of wigs and strive for innovation."

It's not bad, after all, the family background and culture are not low, what was lacking in the past was opportunities.

Later, Lin Zhichao said, "Do you still want to make plastic flowers, uncle?"

It's all cheap for outsiders, how can they not take care of their uncle?

Lin Yunchu is no longer the Lin Yunchu of last year. He is obsessed with being a boss now, so he said without hesitation: "I want to do it!"

Lin Zhichao nodded. It is a good thing to have this kind of initiative. We cannot always let him be a nanny and push him to start a career.

"Well, I will say hello to General Manager Tao later, and I will allow you to go to the Changjiang Plastic Factory for inspection at any time. But I can only give you this convenience. It is up to you to open the factory later, recruiting plastic technicians, purchasing machinery, etc. It's your business."

Lin Yunchu immediately said: "Well, if you allow me to investigate, this is already helping to the end. If I can't learn it again, it can only show that I am not a professional."

Indeed, being allowed to inspect at any time means that he can watch details such as color adjustment by technicians.Even, since he is Lin Zhichao's uncle, it is obviously impossible for the technician to deliberately not answer when he asks some questions.

It can only be said that Lin Yunchu needs to start from scratch to start the plastic flower industry this time, which is much more complicated than opening a wig factory.

"You should have almost enough funds. If you are not enough, you can consider bank loans! Whatever you do now, you must know how to use the bank. Even if you have money in your hand, you can take out a loan. Keep the money in your hand as working capital."

"you're right!"

After teaching Lin Yunchu some business tips, Lin Zhichao turned and left.

Not long after he left, Shen Yunlian came in and asked, "Zhichao made a sudden investigation, is there something wrong?"

Lin Yunchu said in a good mood: "He can't come and see!"

"Tch, he's so busy, he has time to visit your little factory!"

Lin Yunchu smiled, and told his wife what happened just now.

Shen Yunlian was dumbfounded, then grabbed Lin Yunchu's arm and said, "Is that a fortune?"

Lin Yunchu pushed Shen Yunlian's hand away, and said: "Pay attention to the image, this is a company! We only have a few dollars to invest in making a fortune. If we dare to say that we are making a fortune, we can only say that there is another way of making money. The important thing is, If I am busy with a plastic factory, you must be optimistic about the wig factory. Without the support of the profits of the wig factory, I would not dare to make plastic flowers."

"Understood! The wig factory is already on the right track, how can something happen."

At the end of January, after the Spring Festival.

On this day, Hong Kong government officials headed by Governor Ge Lianghong came to the Yangtze River Industrial Park to inspect.

At this time, Lin Zhichao's influence in industry was no less than that in shipping, and he became Hong Kong's well-deserved "king of industry".

British officials such as Ge Lianghong also understand one thing, that is, there are too many people working for Lin Zhichao in Hong Kong, and Lin Zhichao's influence is too great, so the London government has considered awarding Lin Zhichao the "Commander CBE", which is the third class. Medal; as for the above two knighthoods, or knight titles, that is currently impossible.

It's not that Lin Zhichao's influence is not enough, but that his contribution is not enough, but in a few years, London will definitely offer it with both hands.

"Mr. Lin, how many workers are there in the entire Yangtze River Industrial Park?" Ge Lianghong looked at the rows of machines in the zipper factory and asked.

"It should be more than 3800 people! We have been recruiting workers to solve more labor positions." Lin Zhichao accompanied the inspection and said.

At this time, many British officials were shocked. As far as they knew, there were more than 2000 people in Lin Zhichao's other shipping company (actually 3000 people).

In other words, there are 7000 people working for Lin Zhichao in Hong Kong.

Such a big influence, they are already shocked.As for stumbling Lin Zhichao, that's impossible. It's too late to win him over, so how could he push Lin Zhichao out!
Ge Lianghong said in surprise: "It's not easy! According to the investigation of our government department, you introduced Hong Kong's wig industry and solved more than 3000 jobs for Hong Kong. So, how many wig workers do you have?"

Lin Zhichao said: "Less than 500 people!"

Ge Lianghong asked curiously: "Hey! With your strength, such a profitable industry won't occupy such a small market share?"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "The raw materials and sales channels of the factory are handed over to us. Of course, we also provide them with technical guidance. Through such cooperation, we can reduce investment risks and drive the development of the entire industry. "

For a while, the British officials once again praised.

Ge Lianghong's heart was already active, that is, he wanted to make a report to London and win over Lin Zhichao, a businessman, because his strength and influence were not comparable to that of He Dong back then.

When everyone came to Changjiang Plastic Factory, they knew that today was also the day when the production workshop of "Plastic Flower" was open to the public, so they invited more than ten businessmen to visit.Of course, many of them are members of the Shunde Chamber of Commerce or businessmen from Shunde, and only a few people came in through various relationships, including Lin Zhichao's relationship.

"With so many businessmen coming to inspect today, is Mr. Lin planning to share this profitable industry with everyone?" Ge Lianghong asked.

Lin Zhichao shook his head and said, "I'm not sharing it with everyone, but just letting them inspect it. The technology needs to be developed by themselves. After all, each company's plastic flower technology may be different, so that the industry can develop diversifiedly."

An official asked again: "Can plastic flowers bring jobs to Hong Kong, or what are the prospects?"

Lin Zhichao looked at him and said generously: "The plastic flower industry may be separated from the plastic industry, because this industry is very large. During a certain period of time when it was popular, I think it can be ranked among the top five industries in Hong Kong." .”

The crowd was surprised.

In fact, the colonial officials were very determined to maintain local commerce, and even had to damage British commerce, such as bringing the textile industry into the UK, which aroused the dissatisfaction of British officials.As for politics, everyone naturally firmly supports London's decision.The corruption of British officials in Hong Kong is corruption, but they are obviously the masters of the matter.Take Ge Lianghong as an example. He has always disliked the bureaucratic style of Hong Kong officials and has criticized and improved it many times, but in fact he himself likes money very much.

Ge Lianghong finally said: "Mr. Lin has made great contributions to Hong Kong's industry!"

Lin Zhichao hurriedly said humbly: "Your Excellency, the Governor, you have won the award! Because I know that everyone will sooner or later understand the technology of wigs and plastic flowers, so I think it's better to be generous and give you some help, so what I do is nothing."

Ge Lianghong said with a smile: "It is already a great contribution to introduce these two industries to Hong Kong."

Everyone in Hong Kong has a job, which means the society is more stable. He still likes Lin Zhichao's contribution from the bottom of his heart.

Afterwards, everyone inspected toys and wigs before leaving satisfied.

And Lin Zhichao returned to the plastic flower factory and chatted with Shunde businessmen, including He Hengmian, the chairman of the Shunde Chamber of Commerce, and Huang Zhenmin, the chairman of the Shunde Friendship Association, who also came to join in the fun.

"Lin Sheng, is there a market for this plastic flower when it is produced?"

"As long as the quality is good, there will be no worries about sales."

"Can plastic flowers only be in one color?"

"Whoever can develop two-color will surely make more money!"

He answered everyone's questions one by one and won everyone's respect.

During the period, He Hengmian brought up the old story again: "Lin Sheng, what Hu Sheng means is that I still hope that you will merge the three Shunde chambers of commerce, and everyone will obey you!"

Hu Sheng, that is, Hu Zhaochi, was the president of the Shunde Chamber of Commerce in the 40s. He had many businesses, including banking, foreign trade, real estate, and hotels. He also served as the prime minister, chief prime minister, and chairman of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. He is a veteran businessman in Shunde.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "If we merge, there must be a lot of trouble, and it will give people the impression that we don't want to compare ourselves with others. Not good not good!"

He Hengmian had no choice but to give up!
Lin Zhichao came out of Hong Kong. If he came to resist the banner of Shunde businessmen, then any chamber of commerce would have to bow down.But Lin Zhichao just took care of Shunde businessmen, but he was unwilling to lead everyone.

Shunde businessmen who came to investigate this time accounted for the vast majority. If all plastic flowers were developed, the plastic flower industry in Hong Kong would be dominated by Shunde people, just like the wig industry.

In fact, Lin Zhichao also intended to attack the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, and several future prominent figures have already been eliminated, such as Li Jiacheng and Lin Baixin.

Therefore, in the future, Hong Kong will be the world of their Shunde people, especially Lin Zhichao alone can be more powerful than Hong Kong tide merchants.

Hong Kong is no longer Lijiacheng, but
