The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 267 [Soldiers of the Three Armies]

Lin Zhichao, who returned to the office, sat down and began to think.

长江工业集团在去年的大概盈利情况是：拉链产业盈利4000万、玩具产业盈利1800万、塑胶花盈利2400万、拆船厂盈利400万，钢铁厂盈利600万、假发盈利400万。

Among them, the profit of the zipper industry fell by 10%, and the two brands of traveler's luggage and doll noodles were divided.

The overall profit reached 9600 million, which is still an increase, mainly from ship breaking yards and steel plants.

The amount of investment is more than 2000 million, and the net profit is more than 7000 million.

Therefore, the disposable funds of the Yangtze River Industry Group reached 2.25 million.

Because they are all primary industries, the amount of continued investment is not much, so a large amount of net profit can be generated every year.Just like in the previous life, Li Jiacheng earned tens of millions of profits from plastic flowers and then invested them in real estate. Plastic flowers themselves do not need to invest too much, and more is to use 'cheap labor'.

Lin Zhichao no longer intends to invest funds in real estate, so naturally he will not embezzle the funds of the Yangtze River Industrial Group to subsidize the Yangtze River Industrial Group.After all, Cheung Kong is already huge, and it can completely use the funds from "sales of flats" to complete commercial projects and purchase land.

However, the Yangtze River Industries Group has so much cash flow that it cannot be put on the account like this, but needs to be invested.

"What to invest in?" Lin Zhichao couldn't help but whisper to himself.

If it is investing in the industry, he does not have the energy yet. Lin Zhichao hopes that after his son graduates, his business will truly expand to the world, so it started in the early 70s.

After a long time, Lin Zhichao's eyes lit up.

Speculation in US stocks!
This is probably the most stable investment!
The stability he mentioned is because of the stability of the US military, economy, and political power. Investing in US stocks is actually recognizing this "world leader".

Lin Zhichao also has some "big trend" information - the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 caused the US stock market to fall throughout the year; the economic crisis in 1968 (the impact of the Vietnam War, the gradual disintegration of the Bretton Woods system, and the Suez Canal crisis) caused the US stock market to fall.

The above is the general trend. If it is "value investment", it is the "magic weapon" for stock trading.

Lin Zhichao also has some "small trend" information-IBM has always been one of the US stocks with the highest return rate. According to later generations, IBM's return rate was 100% in the past 10.1 years (listed in 1915, and the stock price per share rose by 3.4. In 1967, the market value of IBM reached 1900 billion U.S. dollars, while the GDP of the United States was only 8500 billion U.S. dollars; Buffett retired in 1967 and successfully escaped the 1968 stock market crash.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhichao decided to spend 1 million Hong Kong dollars to speculate in US stocks.

IBM gave Audrey Hepburn to invest, while he invested in Coca-Cola, Texas Instruments, and Disney.

Texas Instruments is a semiconductor, and technology and semiconductors are popular in the 60s; Coke and Disney are consumer products, and they can't go wrong in the 60s.

It is very simple for foreigners to invest in U.S. stocks. They can directly open an account to speculate. Moreover, foreigners do not need to pay "profit tax" to speculate in U.S. stocks, which is more favorable than Americans; the most paid is "dividend tax", that is, dividends must be paid. Taxes, this depends on the situation. The later generations of China are 10%, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, etc. are 15%, and Hong Kong, Singapore, etc. are 30%.

Lin Zhichao spent [-] million yuan to speculate in U.S. stocks, and he didn't need to hide his head and show his tail. He directly used several companies registered in the U.S. by the Yangtze River Industry Group to invest.

night.

Lin Zhichao called Tang Caiyun, Xu Caiying, and Audrey Hepburn to the study on the third floor. The three women had already washed up and put on silky pajamas. Lin Zhichao couldn't help swallowing the finishing touch of the scene ahead.Of course, Tang Caiyun is the largest, followed by Xu Caiying, and finally Audrey Hepburn, who was malnourished when she was a child. However, after Lin Zhichao's development, she has grown a lot.

Seeing that Lin Zhichao's eyes were not right, Tang Caiyun coughed quickly to remind Lin Zhichao to pay attention.After all, you have just made contact with each other, so how can I accompany you to be absurd.

Audrey Hepburn smiled coquettishly, but she knew that this man's body was strong, and he simply did not belong to the category of normal human beings.

Xu Caiying's face flushed quickly. Although she was cheerful and lively, it didn't mean she was open.

Lin Zhichao quickly became serious. After all, after He came to Hong Kong, Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying no longer stayed or flew with him.

"Audrey, what is the market value of IBM?"

Audrey Hepburn immediately said: "It seems to be 280 billion U.S. dollars, and the stock price is about 350 U.S. dollars per share!"

Lin Zhichao said: "After Audrey Toys pays dividends, it will invest another 300 million US dollars in it!"

Audrey Hepburn said incredulously: "Isn't it almost 1300 million dollars?"

She didn't have too many precautions, and said the specific amount.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "IBM stock is very worth investing in. The future is dominated by technology. In the future, computers can even enter private homes. IBM's computers are mainly supplied to the US military and large enterprises, and they will also shine in the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony. .So your bold investment is no less profitable than your Audrey Toys Company."

Audrey Hepburn didn't seem to be guarded against money at all, but exclaimed in surprise: "It's amazing! Last year (1959) the profit of Audrey Toy Company has reached about 600 million US dollars. If it is a dividend, at least 400 US dollars can be given out. $[-] to shareholders."

Audrey Toys, relying on the Barbie doll alone, can make a profit of 5000 million US dollars in more than ten years, which is Lin Zhichao's prediction.

Lin Zhichao said: "My share is still for you to invest in IBM stock. This time the stock may rise more than three times in the 60s (actually more than six times), so I am also you can become a billionaire in the 60s. Half of the wealth comes from IBM, and half of the wealth comes from Audrey Toys. You don’t like doing business, but it doesn’t affect the growth of your wealth. If your child starts a business in the future, you can support him.”

Audrey Hepburn said seriously: "I listen to you!"

Lin Zhichao then said to the three women: "The three of you will not have conflicts of interest, so you must coexist peacefully."

Only then did Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying understand why Lin Zhichao asked the three of them to come to the study because he was worried about the intrigue among women.Talking about Audrey Hepburn's finances in person today, I also told the two that having more blood doesn't mean they want to split the cake.

Plan ahead!

In fact, Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying didn't think about those things, and they didn't even think about the succession of their children, because their father's health is so good, even a little 'non-human', whether their children can live their father's life, It's all the same thing, let alone them.

Tang Caiyun said: "I wouldn't, you don't know how good we get along these few days!"

Xu Caiying nodded and echoed, "That's right!"

Today's Lin Zhichao has an asset value of 23 billion, and the biggest one is global shipping, which is worth about 3 million US dollars (about 17 billion Hong Kong dollars). The reason for not rising is that the price of land fell a lot from its peak).

There are probably nearly 18 to 19 billion assets, which Lin Zhichao earned back from overseas, and it is wealth that did not exist in Hong Kong in his previous life.

For example: during the Suez crisis in 1956, Bao Yugang in his previous life was only a ship, but in this life Lin Zhichao had a ship with millions of tons, so the shipping business was snatched from the international market; the zipper industry, the toy industry (Barbie OEM) ), which was also not available in Hong Kong in the previous life.

Soon.

The three girls returned to their own rooms, and Lin Zhichao started pacing in the aisle.

He was thinking about a very serious question—whose brand should he turn to tonight?

It has been two nights since Audrey Hepburn came to Hong Kong, and Lin Zhichao did not step into their room, but slept in a separate bedroom, which is also considered to be "on hold".

But there are only three things, so it's time to make a choice tonight?
At this time, the three women all came to the door by coincidence. Listening to the footsteps outside, they were also curious about whose room Lin Zhichao would enter, and they also had a little expectation.

Lin Zhichao hesitated for a moment, then pushed open a door, and bumped into Audrey Hepburn at the door.

It's a guest from afar!
Lin Zhichao put his arms around Audrey Hepburn, and his hands became restless. He had an appetite for watching the "finishing touch" just now, so he naturally won't let it go now.

"Why did you choose to enter this door?" Audrey Hepburn asked curiously.

"Come from afar, I have to greet you first!" Lin Zhichao said with a smile.

Afterwards, he withdrew one hand vigorously, and Audrey Hepburn couldn't help standing on tiptoe, looking at Lin Zhichao with affectionate eyes, watery.

Next, Lin Zhichao's superb skills made Audrey Hepburn applaud, and the voice spread to the next door.

Tang Caiyun couldn't help but said in a low voice: "I'm afraid this man has bad intentions, so he won't let the three of us go!"

In the words, it reveals his understanding of Lin Zhichao, as well as his pampering.

She was already prepared for her husband to have a third woman, so she was not angry.What's more, many men in Hong Kong still like to go to entertainment venues, but her husband taboos those, which already makes her very satisfied.After all, my husband's side is so strong and outstanding, even if he really goes outside, it's justified.

As the main wife, she wholeheartedly defends her husband.

In another room, Xu Caiying said brokenly: "Really, what are you doing with such a loud voice? Are all foreign women so open?"

She twisted a few times in discomfort!
Time passed minute by minute!

"My dear, you are too powerful! I am going to die!"

Audrey Hepburn finally couldn't hold on anymore, her weak body twitched a few times, and after the water flooded the entire army, she was silent.

Lin Zhichao lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Then you have a good night today, don't wait for me!"

Audrey Hepburn was surprised at first, then smiled and raised her eyelids to express.

Lin Zhichao didn't pick up his clothes, but just picked up his body part, and then walked out of the bedroom flamboyantly. Anyway, there was no one else on the third floor recently.

Pushing open a door, she found Xu Caiying curled up on the bed, and then looked back at Lin Zhichao who entered the door.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

"If you're not happy, let's continue."

"Husband" Xu Caiying greeted her without saying a word.

Just now, it was so uncomfortable!

Now, feel better!
Xu Caiying is 1.7 meters tall, with a perfect figure and face. Under such a body, her personality is like an elf, but she has a sense of difference.

Her figure is just right for front and back.

"Honey, why don't you still go to my sister's place? Would you like me to save you some face!" Xu Caiying sneered in front of Lin Zhichao.

Lin Zhichao saw that the little girl dared to ridicule him, he couldn't bear it!
Soon, Xu Caiying paid the price for her words!

Before leaving, Lin Zhichao kissed her on the forehead and said, "Don't offend him next time!"

Xu Caiying nodded honestly, and then watched Lin Zhichao walk out of the gate flamboyantly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Ma'am, come here for your husband!"

I saw Tang Caiyun changed out of her pajamas, wearing underwear brought back from abroad, and stepped forward to wrap her arms around Lin Zhichao's neck.

"Husband, pay attention to your body!"

This is push and pull!
Let yourself pay attention to your body, but you have changed your outfit!
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "My body, you understand! Come on!"

The three heroes fought against Lu Bu, but they couldn't get any benefits!
Tang Caiyun's figure is that kind of fat, which is why she can become the main wife, because of Wangfu.Of course, being slightly fat is not fat, it means that if you are more fat, you will be thinner if you are less fat.

pat pat pat.

Rhythmic sound!

Smash it. Smash it.

It's amazing.

the next morning.

Everyone was tacit, and there was no embarrassment, on the contrary, the relationship went further.

While eating breakfast, Lin Zhichao said proudly: "This year we will go to New York for a vacation during the Spring Festival. When the time comes, Caiyun, Caiying, and Xiner will take their children and mother in three batches. I will arrange for people to go there. The airport will pick you up and take you to the villa. At that time, Audrey, you will also bring your children, and we will gather in New York for another week."

The risk comes from the plane, so as long as the four groups fly separately.

The whole family is not afraid of leaving Hong Kong. Lin Zhichao can remotely control everything in Hong Kong by phone.

Everyone rejoiced, celebrating the New Year in New York, there is still a little novelty!

Of course, it is also possible to go skiing in Switzerland during the Spring Festival in the future. In short, I want to see more of the world.

At the same time, Lin Zhichao planned to go to New York in mid-January to arrange stock trading.

Before that, he will arrange several companies properly.

In the conference room of the Yangtze River Industries Group, Lin Zhichao sat down with the senior management of the group and the deputy general managers of the subsidiaries to make a year-end summary.

Last year (1959) the overall development was very good. After all, the profit was close to 6000 million yuan, which is unimaginable in Hong Kong industry; of course, zipper and toys are two industries that Hong Kong did not have in the previous life (toys refer to Barbie doll OEM) , created a profit of nearly [-] million Hong Kong dollars for Lin Zhichao.

As for the other 3800 million Hong Kong dollars, it is indeed an opportunity to be snatched from other businessmen in Hong Kong. The plastic flowers may be mainly from Li Jiacheng and the Jewish brothers, the wigs are mainly from Liu Wenhan, the shipbreaking yard should be mainly from Dachang Trading, etc., and the steel may be imported. Yes, after all, Pang Dingyuan only made steel in the early 60s.

"How many plastic flower workers are there now?" Lin Zhichao asked.

"6000 people, and dozens of factories outside produce for us, and more than 500 family workshops are doing stringing and bagging. Overall, 1 workers are involved. This number is probably higher than that of the second largest factory. Eighty percent more, there are already 4.8 plastic workers in Hong Kong." Tao Derong said confidently.

Lin Zhichao said: "It seems to be the peak! It has been six years since plastic flowers became popular at the end of 1954. People's aesthetic sense will gradually fade, so we must take this issue seriously!"

Tao Derong said: "We are now implementing three shifts, saving a lot of money on machinery and equipment; as for workers, we have also saved money, and the situation is better than before."

Three shifts save labor money, not waste money.

First of all, when three shifts are implemented, workers have almost no rest, and they have to race against time to eat;
Secondly, Cheung Kong also adjusted the wages of workers. The wages have not risen for more than a year, but they keep the double pay at the end of the year and holiday benefits.On the whole, it is about 20% higher than the outside.

In the end, I employed some temporary workers, whose salaries were not as high as those of regular workers, and they faced dismissal at any time.

The reason why labor costs are saved is not that Lin Zhichao is black, but that the profit of plastic flowers is getting lower and lower.Anyway, it's better than other factories.

Of course, there are hidden dangers in this situation, so before six or seven years ago, the Yangtze River Industry Group would probably stop plastic flowers and wigs, even if there were some profits, they would just give up, and workers would lay off a large number of workers in advance.

As for the industries retained by the Yangtze River Industries Group, wages will be raised substantially six to seven years ago, and production will be stabilized by then.

Lin Zhichao nodded, and said, "Well, in the future, we will reduce production if it is time to reduce production.

Tao Derong said: "Okay"

He believed the judgment of the boss, because he had been to an American friend's house and found that the curtains had been replaced with cloth.From this detail, it can be seen that the craze for plastic flowers will subside in the past few years.

In the conference room, everyone expressed their reports or opinions one after another. It can be seen that the level of the managers is very high, quite group-oriented.

It is obviously inaccurate to say that the Yangtze River Industries Group has no technological level, after all, there are many patents!

On the other hand, Li Jiacheng is also calculating the profit of the past year, and the result is still half happy and half worrying.

Fortunately, the profit has increased to 128 million Hong Kong dollars;
The worry is that the money he has earned in the past few years still cannot satisfy his plan to build a factory.

Until now, he does not have his own factory building and can only rent other people's factory buildings.

In the past three years, Changhe Plastic Factory has made a combined profit of 280 million, but after all, expansion of production requires expenses.There are only more than 180 million disposable funds left, and the money is also distributed to shareholders, so he can only get more than 120 million in the end.

"If I have money, I will build a factory building, and the annual rent will be very high."

"After all, plastic flowers cannot be popular all the time. It would be nice to have a factory building!"

"Uncle still doesn't let go, a profit of 100 million a year is nothing to him!"

"Hey!"

Li Jiacheng can understand that plastic flowers cannot be popular all the time, and now plastic flowers have been popular for six years.

sense of urgency.

His cousin's family has a big business, so he, a small business owner, still can't get into his uncle's eyes, which is also very helpless.

"I have to work harder!"

"Just working hard is not enough, we have to invest in an industrial land and build a commercial building!"

"Invest with everyone, although the funds are close, you can use the bank!"

Li Jiacheng's mind is very clear. If he doesn't take advantage of the cheap land price to invest in a piece of industrial land and build an industrial building, it will be even more difficult to build in the future.

At this time, if you invest in a land of less than 200 million, although the funds are almost short, you can use the plastic factory to mortgage the loan.As long as there is land, you can borrow money.

At that time, although the debt may be about 150 million, it can be paid off in the early one year.

Thinking of this, he decided to act immediately to convince his relatives and friends.
