The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 20 [Business Expansion]

Beginning of June 1947.

In the arcade on Seymour Road, Lin Zhichao looked at his "Optimus Prime" after getting up, and comforted him: "Don't worry! You are still growing, so don't rush it."

He is only 19 years and 3 months old, so it is not appropriate to get involved in a happy life too early, although he is super powerful.

Since he crossed over, his body has been undergoing secondary development.He was originally less than 1.7 meters tall, but now he is 1.7 meters five, and he is still growing taller, and his body has become stronger.Optimus Prime has also changed from a medium and large size to a large size, which is quite intimidating.

So Lin Zhichao suspected that the traveler had his own bugs. After all, when the soul was injected into the new body, the brain would be further developed, which caused the body cells to mutate.Of course, Lin Zhichao will always bury these things in his heart, and he is grateful for God's gift.

while having breakfast.

Wu Wenying said: "Zhichao, your sister and I have been in Hong Kong for two months, and we are somewhat familiar with Hong Kong Island. Now you don't have to bother Junshan to pick us up every day. Now that you have a big career, let Junshan Follow you all the time, I also rest assured."

She is a woman from a knowledgeable family, and she still has some knowledge. Her son has risen rapidly recently. As the saying goes, she is 'too ostentatious', so safety must be the most important thing.

When the mother and daughter came to Hong Kong, Lin Zhichao took as much time as possible to accompany them around and familiarize themselves with the environment.Usually, Lin Xiner was sent to learn English, but Lin Zhichao asked Xue Junshan to accompany Wu Wenying and Lin Xiner.

Lin Zhichao took a sip of the chicken soup before slowly saying, "I'm not in any danger, Junshan is the driver."

He didn't want to create a tense atmosphere for his family, not to mention that he didn't take those things to heart. He just saw Xue Junshan on the way, so he picked it up.

Wu Wenying continued: "The driver is also very important. You suddenly need to use the car for official business, and Junshan is sending us back, which will delay work. We take a rickshaw, the same."

Seeing this, Lin Zhichao no longer forced himself.

"Okay, when I earn money, I will provide a driver and a car for the family."

Wu Wenying choked, but seeing her son's attitude, she stopped preaching.

Now that her son is grown up, she has always warned herself to avoid preaching, so as not to cause dissatisfaction with her son and affect the relationship between mother and child.

In fact, she could tell that her son was no longer the son he used to be. The son now is very independent and has no dependence on herself.Although a little disappointed, it is also a very happy thing.

Lin Xiner looked at Lin Zhichao with admiration, her brother is so amazing!
Their family was not considered wealthy since they were young. In the past, when Lao Dou taught, he could only live a good life. Later, Lao Dou died of illness, and the whole family depended on their mother to farm and sew clothes for a living.After several years of hardship, Lin Xiner deeply understood how good life is now.

"Brother, when I finish my studies, I'll work for you!"

Lin Zhichao touched Lin Xiner's little head, and said, "Then study hard, after all, after you finish your studies, your brother's company may have a lot of college students and foreign students, you have to show your skills and compete with them. "

Lin Xiner nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Well, my English has improved a lot recently!"

Lin Zhichao nodded with a smile.

For this younger sister, he felt that if he could cultivate her, she could join his company.After all, it is my own blood relationship, so I can use it with confidence. It doesn't matter if I am a younger brother, and my younger sister doesn't need to give shares or companies. Maybe she will be a good helper for my son in the future.

Worth training!

After breakfast, Lin Zhichao bid farewell to his family and went downstairs to the arcade.

Xue Junshan was already standing beside a second-hand Ford car, waiting for Lin Zhichao, with a newspaper in his hand.

"Boss, morning"

"Well, early"

After receiving the newspaper, Lin Zhichao sat in the back row.

Xue Junshan stepped into the driving seat, started the car, and drove towards Changjiang Real Estate.

In fact, it is very close. Seymour Road is in Central. Although it is a mid-level area, it is actually very close to the ferry terminal and even closer to Queen's Road. After all, Central is relatively small.

The mansions in Hong Kong will extend all the way to the top of the mountain, so the mansions in the mid-level area will be built at higher and higher positions until they reach the real mid-level position of Victoria Peak.

When we came to the company, everyone was already busy.

The number of employees of Cheung Kong Properties has been increasing, and this year it may reach about 20 people; in fact, it is a bit wasteful, ten or so people are enough, but Lin Zhichao likes to cultivate talents slowly, anyway, the company will grow slowly.

When he arrived at the office, Lin Zhichao did not immediately enter the working state, but began to think.

Changjiang Real Estate currently has three projects: three tenement buildings at No. 46-48 Shanlin Road, four tenement buildings at No. 126 Modu Street, and 26 tenement buildings at "Lantian Yayuan" in Happy Valley (tentative).

这三个工程分别大概可以获利：15万、20万、50万，差不多就是85万的利润；再加上初始资金25万多，也就是明年的总资产差不多是110万港币左右（粗略估计）。

Today, Lin Zhichao has the full support of the Bank of East Asia, and Hong Kong real estate has been revitalized by him, but other real estate developers may not be able to play it right away.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao was thinking that if you keep gold in your hands, you may not be able to double it in a year, but you can do it in real estate, and it will double steadily.

Therefore, he intends to exchange the 34 pieces of gold in his hand for funds in the early 60 Hong Kong dollars—of which 50 Hong Kong dollars will continue to buy land and old buildings; and the other 10 Hong Kong dollars can be used to develop the zipper industry in half (by hand), and keep half in hand for emergency.

"Develop manual zippers first, get familiar with the craftsmanship and doorway, and then buy automatic zipper machines at the end of the year. By then, the real estate will also return a lot of funds."

"Take the zipper as an opportunity to intervene in the industrial chain."

Businessmen in Hong Kong like to develop in an all-round way, and so do many families, so Lin Zhichao is no exception.What's more, doing industry is always a good thing.

After a while, Li Gaofu, Lin Zhichao's assistant, came to the office.

"boss"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Brother Gao Fu, there are many wars in the mainland, and I'm afraid it will break out on a large scale. Your uncle and aunt are in the mainland. You should bring them to Hong Kong."

Li Gaofu's heart trembled, and he asked nervously: "Will the war go to Guangdong Province, boss, what do you think?"

Lin Zhichao said: "It's inevitable, it's just a matter of time, you should make a good decision on this matter, ask the company for leave after you decide, and go back and deal with it as soon as possible."

Li Gaofu nodded seriously, and said, "Thank you boss for your advice!"

His salary has risen to 200 yuan per month, and it is not very difficult to support his parents, wife, daughter, and son.

Lin Zhichao thought for a while, and then said: "As a large number of people move to Hong Kong, some landlords will force tenants to move out. You don't know what will happen there. But anyway, you can support your family with your salary now. The salary will be raised. If you encounter difficulties, please report to me, and I will personally help you."

Li Gaofu nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, boss." He was sincerely grateful, and he was even more hopeful when he heard that the salary would increase in the second half of the year.

One's life is really about meeting noble people, Li Gaofu thought, if he hadn't met his cousin, how would he be where he is today.I am afraid that for the rest of my life, I will only be an ordinary employee of a foreign company, and at most become a small manager.

But it's different now. My cousin's career has just started, and his salary is also increasing. The future is promising.

At this time, Lin Zhichao said: "I want to open a zipper factory. You are my assistant, so I will run this matter. First, I need to lease a factory of about 3000 square feet. West Ring, Sheung Wan, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, North Point It will be all right."

The closer to Central, the more convenient the factory will be.Shau ​​Kei Wan, Tsuen Wan and other places will be considered only if there are no suitable ones in these places.And it was only mid-1947, so there should still be a suitable place.

Li Gaofu took out the paper and pen and wrote it down, but he was very happy in his heart, which meant that his role was greater.

Lin Zhichao continued: "Currently, all of Asia should be handmade zipper factories, and Shanghai has the most zipper workers. It is said that there are thousands of people. So the second thing is to recruit skilled zipper workers. First recruit in Hong Kong, and you can even trust someone To go to Shanghai to recruit high salaries, the most important thing is to recruit a skilled worker and a management team. When the time is ripe, I will go to Europe and the United States to buy automatic zipper machines, and then sell the products to the whole of Asia, and even Europe and the United States.”

He also needs to understand the industry and be familiar with the steps and techniques involved.Lin Zhichao is by no means the kind of person who relies entirely on the information of the traveler to make a living. Every time he enters an industry, he will study hard and develop with his vision.

"Probably do these two things first, and report to me in time if there is any progress. Especially after the factory is found, it has to register for the 'Cheung Kong Industrial' license."

Li Gaofu immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

He has been shocked by the boss's plan. He actually wants to go to Europe and America to buy an automatic zipper machine. How much faster is that kind of machine than manual work?How expensive is it?Is it better quality?

Unbeknownst to him, Li Gaofu also understands that this is an opportunity for him—my cousin’s new career is starting, and I want to learn from him and show my value in the new company through study and research.

as predicted.

Lin Zhichao reminded: "You can take time to learn about the zipper factory, read some magazines, understand the market and so on."

"Okay, boss."

Li Gaofu was even happier. He knew that his cousin liked to study. Now that his cousin told himself this, does it mean that his cousin intends to cultivate himself!
Although he is now the office manager of Changjiang Properties, he is actually an office clerk, running errands for the boss.

After Li Gaofu left, Lin Zhichao tapped on the table, lost in thought.

The zipper industry, a complete industrial chain, involves smelting (aluminum alloy, copper smelting), chemical industry (nylon), textile (zipper cloth), machinery (improvement or development of automatic zipper machine or automatic punch).

And once it comes to the industrial chain, then 'Cheung Kong Industrial' will take advantage of the trend to enter the field of toys and plastics and become a large industrial group.

Of course, Hong Kong's industry is definitely not as good as RB's. Lin Zhichao's zipper industry may not be as good as RBYKK zippers.But in any case, Lin Zhichao can also get a share of the zipper. Everyone has their own advantages, so he will use his own advantages and learn from others' advantages.

With the popularity of Asian trousers, the demand for zippers has increased, and the business will not lose.

What's more, with an industrial foundation, Lin Zhichao plans to make toys, toys with "soul" and "added value".
