The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

The remaining four buildings of "Wenhua New Village" were officially launched at the end of September, and some advertisements were made beforehand, so many people came here on the day of the sale.

But there is an obvious phenomenon. Compared with the sale in May, the number of people on the first day was only [-]-[-]%, and the transaction volume was only [-]% more.Therefore, a similar number of units sold out in just over a week, and it took three times as long.

Lin Zhichao speculated that the market direction has begun to change quietly.

Of course, Hong Kong's major real estate developers will turn a blind eye to these small links, and everyone will even exaggerate the market's demand for new houses.

Therefore, on the surface, Hong Kong's real estate market is still booming, and major real estate developers are showing their talents, continuing to search for suitable land and developing real estate vigorously.

Cheung Kong Industries.

Lin Zhichao called Huang Changhong to the office and said, "Is there still time for the affairs on the company's site?"

Cheung Kong employs thousands of construction site workers, and its project department and Poly Construction also have more than 40 employees, which can be described as a huge momentum.

Huang Changhong nodded and said: "No problem! Last year's four real estate projects are almost completed, and the project department and Poly Construction can also take out manpower. The boss wants to develop real estate again right away?"

Lin Zhichao said: "That's right! Originally, we had planned four buildings in the first half of next year, and now we can start designing the plans and start preparations. We will strive to sell all these four buildings in the first quarter of next year, with almost [-] residential units. "

Huang Changhong immediately understood, and said, "Okay, I'll let the project department plan it right away!"

He has followed Lin Zhichao for so long, so he can see what the boss is worried about. From selling out in three days to selling out in eight days, this shows that Hong Kong's purchasing power is declining; at the same time, other real estate companies have become jealous. No matter how high the land is won at any cost, something will happen sooner or later.

Lin Zhichao said: "Well. After developing this wave of residential projects, we should also plan for commercial building projects next year, so sell them early, and the funds can be returned earlier."

Huang Changhong knew that Cheung Kong would never have a situation of "hiding our strengths and biding our time". The boss has been asking the company to recruit talents, which fully explained this problem.

"Ok"

Then, Lin Zhichao said: "You know that we have reserved some units in each site, especially Wenhua New Village has reserved nearly [-] units. Why?"

Huang Changhong immediately said: "It is for changing houses in the future, such as residents like Telford Gardens. After all, if we need to expropriate their houses, we need to solve their housing problems as soon as possible. Then give some financial compensation. I think it will not be a problem." big."

Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "Yes, so these reserved units are available all over Hong Kong, and they can choose where to live."

If the conditions are sufficient, the etiquette first and then the soldiers.

If there are a few recalcitrants left, there are natural ways to deal with it. If the surrounding area is completely dismantled, it will immediately become an isolated island, and if the electricity and water are cut off, they will immediately complain to the sky.If you still resist, there will be unknown elements coming in and out, making you restless.

Of course, the Hong Kong government will also introduce policies in future generations. For example, 90% of the residents have moved, so the court can issue a compulsory demolition order.

This one is much more ruthless than the mainland of later generations.

Because the situation is different, Hong Kong is small, if we want to develop, how can we allow the existence of nail households.For cities to grow, they must make sacrifices.

After Huang Changhong left, Lin Zhichao also thought about it.

From the second half of next year, 10 Ice House Street, Kowloon Miramar Hotel, 9 Chiu Lung Street, 77 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong Hotel on Pedder Street, and many commercial and residential projects in Causeway Bay will start successively.

So in the days after 1957, Cheung Kong had a lot of projects to do.

Monday, May 10.

In the morning, Lin Zhichao took the car ferry and headed towards Tsuen Wan, Kowloon.

The Double Ten chaos ended yesterday, and he has not been to the Cheung Kong Industrial Park in Tsuen Wan for five days.In the morning, he learned from the newspaper that the chaos had subsided and the martial law had been lifted, so Lin Zhichao drove there.

There were four cars in a team, one of which belonged to his father-in-law Tang Zhongyuan, and the two made an appointment to visit the factory.After all, Lin Zhichao has a bodyguard team, so he can handle any sudden situation.

In fact, almost all the people who died this time were [-]K and rioters who were shot.As for the members of a certain faction, there are probably about ten or so, but there are still women who are cadres, and it is even worse.

Lin Zhichao's reminder didn't seem to have any effect, probably because they felt that we are not afraid of sacrifices or evil spirits.Of course, it is also possible that the number of victims of Gong Shinv has been reduced.

I don't know, but things are finally over!

Along the way, the police were seen on duty. Obviously, the Hong Kong government is also afraid of a resurgence.

There are few signs of destruction!

However, after arriving in Tsuen Wan, there were even bloodstains on Castle Peak Road. It seems that Tsuen Wan was the hardest hit area.

After coming to the Yangtze River Industrial Park, he found that the security of the factory was also very strengthened. Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction.

As the largest factory in Hong Kong, the security alone has suddenly increased by hundreds. It is impossible to let those thugs rush into the factory, because there are also "black guns" hired from outside.

"boss"

Seeing that it was Lin Zhichao, security immediately let him go.

Lin Zhichao asked the security: "Did they break into the factory?"

The security immediately said: "No! Manager Wang gave them 2500 yuan to buy the flag and told them not to make trouble, so he left."

Lin Zhichao nodded. He had told Wang Liang on the phone to try not to have any conflicts, and to settle the matter with money.

After all, he is a businessman, so he doesn't want to offend the kid.

A mere 2500 yuan is simply trivial!
After sitting in the office, Wang Liang, who was staring at the dark circles under his eyes, came to report the situation immediately.He has been living in the factory lately, protecting property from damage.

"What's the specific situation?"

Wang Liang immediately said: "The main targets of those people are certain factories such as Wheelock Textile (partnership company), Nansha Toy Factory, Baoxing Textile, etc. For factories like us that do not have ZZ influence, they just ask for money to buy them. 'Flag'. However, there were some people who asked that they could only use employees from their union in the future, but I directly refused, saying that the factory is openly recruiting."

Lin Zhichao nodded and asked, "Is there any conflict?"

Wang Liang said, "No, how would they dare? There are 7000 workers in our factory, and everyone is united. They are the only ones who will suffer when they rush in. It's just that one thing more is worse than one thing less, and they just sent them 2500 yuan."

This is right. The workers in the Yangtze River Industrial Park will not have second thoughts, because this is a paradise for workers, and it is one of the factories with the best treatment in Hong Kong.As long as these workers are led by security and management, it is enough to overthrow those people.

After learning about the situation, Lin Zhichao was relieved that the loss of Changjiang Industry was not big. At most, the transportation was limited in the past few days, and the delivery time was delayed for a few days.

No problem!

Next, Lin Zhichao inspected the factory.

Currently, Cheung Kong Industries is building the fifth factory, which will be eight floors high and will become a veritable industrial building.In fact, the four buildings (14 floors, 42 square feet) are not yet saturated; but it is always a good thing to prepare in advance.

among them:

The wig factory only needs one floor, and there is plenty of it. It has been controlled at a scale of 500 workers. It mainly seeks agency and OEM business to avoid excessive expansion.

In the later stage of the plastic factory, only three floors were needed. After the number of workers increased to 2500, they began to seek an OEM model and no longer expand production. At present, the plastic factory has only exceeded 1500.

The toy factory is expanding rapidly, and will not set thresholds. The future prospect is great, so it can develop long-term plans, including Barbie dolls, Bill Lily, and Rubik's Cube. Currently, the toy factory has 1500 workers .

The zipper factory has grown to a scale of 3000 people. Lin Zhichao intends to suspend the expansion in Hong Kong and establish branch factories overseas.

The luggage factory and instant noodle factory are going to be handed over to Cheung Kong Industrial in the later stage to build a new industrial building in Kwun Tong.After all, the factories in the Yangtze River Industrial Park will not be enough.

Therefore, in fact, Changjiang Industry only includes: zippers, toys, plastic flowers, and wigs.

Momofuku Ando is a Japanese who was naturalized from Taiwan Island. His original name was Momofuku Wu.He recently discovered something that made him very happy - a kind of "doll noodles" similar to ramen appeared in Hong Kong, which surprised him.

It turned out that he had always found a problem in Japan. The food that the United States assisted Japan since World War II was flour, which was used to make a lot of bread; but the Japanese would rather queue up to eat ramen than go to a bakery to buy it.

He also thought about developing a convenient noodle to meet the needs of the people, and this idea has always been kept in mind.

But now, Hong Kong, which is a tiny place, actually has a product that meets his ideas, so he rushed to Hong Kong from Japan, intending to find out for himself.

Through searching, he easily came to a snack shop that sold 'boiled doll noodles'.

"Boss, I want to cook ramen for one night!" Wu Baifu said in broken Chinese.

He has been naturalized in Japan, and his Chinese has regressed a lot.

The boss was stunned, and then asked, "Is it doll noodles?"

Momofuku Ando nodded quickly and said, "Yes, doll noodles!"

"How about adding eggs?"

"add"

The doll noodles in Hong Kong have been on the market for three months. During this period, the manufacturer has carried out various promotions and guidance, and the matching egg is also proposed by the manufacturer.Some small restaurants even have more advanced auxiliary food, as well as fried ramen and so on.

In just three months, doll noodles immediately became popular in Hong Kong and became a best-selling product.And the unit price of [-] cents is absolutely affordable for Hong Kong people.

Next, I saw the boss tear open a bag of doll noodles, put them into a small pot to cook, and put the seasoning into a bowl.

Seeing Momofuku Ando peeping, the boss smiled and said, "This is no skill, just boil it with water, and it will be ready to eat soon!"

He seems to know that Momofuku Ando is not from Hong Kong, so explain.

"How many minutes?" Momofuku Ando quickly asked, seeing that the boss was easy to talk.

"I cook it for just over a minute, and then you wait for another minute or so before you can eat it. You don't need to cook this doll noodle, you can eat it by soaking it in boiling water for 3 minutes."

Ando Momofuku secretly marveled, this is simply a very good idea.But he was thinking, why it can be cooked after soaking for 3 minutes, and it is absolutely impossible for raw noodles to achieve this goal.

So, he immediately said: "Can you give me a bag, I don't cook, the money will be counted."

The boss will naturally not refuse, after all, many stores have it.

Momofuku Ando, ​​who got the instant noodles, immediately opened them, looked at them, fed the noodles into his mouth, and chewed.

Seeing this, the boss was sure that it was a foreigner, and said, "The doll noodles are deep-fried and cooked, and can be eaten raw."

genius!

Momofuku Ando immediately commented in his heart!

He has also considered this issue, but he never thought that frying can complete dehydration and then extend the shelf life.

In the office, Lin Zhichao listened to the work report of "Doll Noodles" Chen Ping, and he was not surprised by the success of "Doll Noodles".However, the Hong Kong market is too small, so it needs to develop in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia; as for Europe and the United States, it needs to invent 'cup noodles', which are packaged in paper cups and come with plastic forks to open up the western market.

The whole plan is in his mind, but it needs to be realized step by step.

"Boss, a Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando approached us, hoping that we could transfer and license the technology." Chen Ping reported a situation.

Lin Zhichao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately asked, "Momofuku Ando?"

"Yes, he also introduced himself as a Chinese, born on Taiwan Island."

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Why is he so sure that we will agree to the transfer and authorization of technology?"

Chen Ping said seriously: "He said that if we want to enter the Japanese market and threaten with patented technology, then we will also touch the monopoly law, and it will still be very troublesome. Instead of doing this, it is better to transfer and license the technology."

Lin Zhichao frowned suddenly, as if it was the same thing, you use patented technology to block others, and others use monopoly law to block you.

"In this way, you tell him that we are preparing to cooperate with a Japanese businessman to establish a joint Japanese instant noodle company. If he really wants to do this business, he can talk about it in detail. If he is not willing to cooperate, we will find someone else to cooperate. At that time, the patented technology It will not be authorized to him. Even if he wants to enter this industry, the market has already been carved up."

Stick and carrot, just cooperate with the "Father of Instant Noodles" in the previous life to establish "Nissin Ramen" in Japan, and 49% of the shares are enough.

After all, if doll noodles really want to enter the Japanese market, there must be corresponding products in Japan.

Cooperation is essential, especially in 'exclusive' countries like Japan and South Korea; only by cooperating with local companies can we make money.

Eating alone is not the way to do business.

Chen Ping nodded, and said: "Momofuku Ando is in good condition in all aspects. He also said that he is also researching this aspect, but he never thought that deep-frying can preserve the quality of noodles and be convenient to use."

Lin Zhichao said: "Then talk to him!"

"Ok"

After Chen Ping left, Lin Zhichao thought about the development of "Doll Noodles", first in a Japanese joint venture company, then in Taiwan and Island, and then in a Korean joint venture company; as for Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, direct product imports .

When the time is right, the invention of cup noodles is one of the ways to maintain an advantage; there are also various flavors of instant noodles, which are also innovations.

three days later.

When Momofuku Ando learned that 'Doll Noodles' was only willing to cooperate to establish a 'Ramen Company' in Japan, he agreed without much thought. The reason is simple. Now that the patented technology is in the hands of others, Doll Noodles has great rights. Including not allowing him to produce instant noodles.

Today, Doll Noodles only requires 49% of the shares, and the cooperative company is fully operated by him, obviously intending to hand over the Japanese market to him.

Momofuku Ando immediately went back to Japan to raise funds after obtaining the permission of the cooperation. The doll face uses a complete set of technology as the equity, accounting for 49% of the shares, and will send technical personnel to guide; as for the funds, Momofuku Ando needs to solve it himself.

The two parties also stipulated that Momofuku Ando's investment should not be less than 50 US dollars. The reason is very simple. It is necessary to occupy the Japanese market as quickly as possible and build a brand name.

Momofuku Ando felt that it made sense, and decided to fight to the death, betting all his property, and then realizing it through borrowing. (end of this chapter)
