The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 282 [Finally succeeded]

the next morning.

Lin Zhichao told Sakurai Hinako: "Submit a formal resignation report and wait for the company's approval. After that, I will arrange for you. But one thing, what I give you is yours. Don't be greedy. Money is a trivial matter, but There are some things I hope you understand, don’t think about it, or you will be the one who gets hurt in the end!”

Sakurai Hinako instantly understood that what this man meant was not to destroy his family, otherwise he would suffer.

She didn't think too much, she just wanted to live a superior life, so she immediately promised: "I will be an obedient woman, please rest assured."

Lin Zhichao nodded, it is better to be sensible.

If he really met such a troublesome woman, he would definitely not mess with it.Family is what he values ​​most, and whoever wants to destroy his family will definitely have to pay the price.

In the morning, Sakurai Hinako finally arrived at the flight on time. Although she felt a little pain at this time, she was very excited. She finally got her wish, and everything was so unexpected that she was satisfied.

"Purser, what are you so happy about?"

"That's right, why didn't you go back to the dormitory yesterday, did you have a boyfriend?"

The subordinates became curious. These stewardesses were both Japanese and Hong Kong, and they communicated in English.

Sakurai Hinako said with a smile: "So guess what, I just take the time to spend the night with my family and work quickly!"

She will keep it strictly confidential, so as not to let that man trouble her.

Thinking of the trouble, she couldn't help trembling, and then smiled happily.

The man guessed a lot yesterday. She once had a boyfriend in college, and they were very affectionate. Later, she chose to be a flight attendant, and her boyfriend was a company employee. Faced with many invitations from rich men, she followed the quality of self-love; It's just that she didn't expect that two years ago, her boyfriend told her that she was going to marry the boss's daughter.

At that moment, Sakurai Hinako asked loudly: "Why?"

Her boyfriend said with a guilty conscience: "Hinako, as long as I agree to marry her, I can get a promotion and salary increase, and I can be cultivated. I have no choice, so please forget about me!"

Hinako Sakurai suddenly realized that she was so naive. If she threw something she held on to, something she could get more easily, to her boyfriend, he was like a dog seeing a bone.

Since then, Sakurai Hinako has decided that she either does not choose, or chooses the best one.

Because of this, she finally chose her boss as the target after half a year. She remembered that the boss, under the leadership of the president, visited the flight crew. He was so handsome and personable. He communicated with the captain in fluent English and with her in fluent Japanese communication is so talented.

At that moment, she made up her mind that she would not be reconciled if she failed to achieve her goal, so every time Lin Zhichao took the opportunity, she would find an opportunity to show her courtesy and show herself.

At one point, she almost gave up, this man was too difficult to deal with.

But now, she finally succeeded!
"Hello, welcome to fly with Hong Kong Airlines!"

On this day, she was so pleasing to everyone!
A year ago it was called 'Sasebo Ship', but now it has been changed to 'Sasebo Heavy Industries'.

"Chairman Kato, do you have the technical skills for this 13-ton tanker?" Lin Zhichao asked repeatedly.

Kato Ken immediately assured seriously: "Mr. Lin, you have cooperated with our Japanese shipbuilding industry for many years, and you know the reputation of our shipbuilding industry. Whenever there is a problem with our ship, we will definitely rush to the scene as soon as possible to find out the reason. If it is our technical problem, we will accompany you, and we will definitely not smash the brand of the Japanese shipbuilding industry."

Lin Zhichao was right when he thought about it. Although the Japanese shipbuilding industry is still a little behind Europe and the United States in terms of welding, it took only two years to catch up.Important, some minor blemishes don't affect anything.

In terms of after-sales, the Japanese shipbuilding industry is definitely the best. If there is a problem with their ship, they will not shirk it no matter how expensive it is.

This is because the Japanese government regards the shipbuilding industry as the key development of "heavy industry" and will never smash its signs.

"Okay, this time I came to Japan, I plan to build ten large oil tankers, and I plan to build them in three shipyards. In your Sasebo Heavy Industries, you plan to build four oil tankers, two 4-ton oil tankers, and two 13-ton oil tankers. tanker."

Takeru Kato was suddenly surprised. Lin Zhichao built a million-ton oil tanker at one time, which is an absolute major customer of the Japanese shipbuilding industry.

In fact, this is nothing. Dong Yunhao in his previous life also built six 1966-ton tankers at one time in 6.

But this is 1961 after all, and the world shipping is still off-season.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know if you need a loan, but we in Japan can provide foreign businessmen with extremely low interest rates?"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "I don't need it for now, but maybe it will be needed for shipbuilding next year."

Kato Takeru said, "Hi!"

Afterwards, everyone came to the meeting room and began to sign the shipbuilding contract.

Accompanying Lin Zhichao is still Feng Yongfa, the deputy general manager. As for the other vice president, Bobby Blair, he is more in charge of 'external affairs', and Feng Yongfa is responsible for 'internal affairs', of course, not absolutely.

In short, since there are two vice presidents, Lin Zhichao's burden has become easier.

Although he is still doing things such as shipbuilding and leasing and signing contracts, he is actually just going through the motions; in advance, everything has been prepared first.

After this shipbuilding, the load capacity of global shipping has changed again.

环球航运：16艘10万吨、2艘7万吨、4艘5.6万吨、2艘3.6万吨，总计202万吨的新油轮；二手油轮是8艘，总计15万吨；新货轮是12艘，总计23万吨；旧货轮是64艘，66万吨；总计吨位，是306万吨。

寰宇航运：2艘13万吨、8艘10万吨、4艘5.6万吨的油轮，总计132万吨。

Huaxing Shipping: 12 second-hand ships (old), with a gross tonnage of 10 tons.

Shipping Asia: 15 newer freighters with a gross tonnage of 12 tons.

Four shipping companies, with a combined load capacity of 460 million tons, he has surpassed Onassis, which is about twice its load capacity.

Moreover, Global Shipping has almost no debt, and it is expected to repay all funds by the end of the year, including unbuilt ships.Since 1962, Global Shipping has used loans to build ships.

In fact, even if global shipping does not require loans, it should be able to expand to 1967 million tons by 600.

However, considering that Lin Zhichao's goal is 800-1000 million tons, and 80 tons of old ships have to be eliminated during the period, it is necessary to make full use of the loan.

On the last day of his inspection in Japan, Lin Zhichao came to Nissin Company, and Chen Ping, the general manager of Doll Noodles, accompanied him.

In fact, Chen Ping is still serving as a director of Nissin Ramen, and will audit the accounts; after all, Doll Noodles currently holds 49% of the shares in Nissin Ramen.

Momofuku Ando was in the office, welcoming the two of them.

"Mr. Lin, the 'Ajisen Ramen' brand you suggested last year has opened three flagship stores, and the business is very good. We plan to double the number of stores this year."

Lin Zhichao doesn't care much about this brand, but if Momofuku Ando does well, it will naturally be beneficial to the company.

Therefore, he praised: "President An Teng is well-managed. I just offered an idea. I didn't expect you to come up with results so quickly. It's amazing!"

Momofuku Ando quickly became humble. Compared with doing business, he dared not compare himself in front of Lin Zhichao.Young, self-made billionaire entrepreneur, his career spans industry, real estate, and shipping, especially in shipping. There are legends about him in Japan's shipping and shipbuilding industries.

"Often it is an idea, which is the key to success! Just like when your company developed instant noodles, which solved the problem of food shortage in Asian countries, this is a world-class invention."

Instant noodles are really a blessing to Japan. No wonder the Japanese government and legal circles are also very concerned about the 'copyright' of doll noodles. Of course, doll noodles are not greedy and put forward harsh conditions.

Then, Lin Zhichao asked with concern: "The tonkotsu ramen has been on the market for more than half a year. I don't know how the Nissin ramen is going?"

Ando Momofuku immediately said: "Very good! Currently, a bag of tonkotsu ramen is 35 yen, and the sales volume has exceeded 3500 million bags in half a year; at the same time, the price of Nissin chicken noodle soup has also risen to 30 yen, and the sales volume in half a year has also reached 2500. It is expected that Nissin ramen will once again break through the 1.2 million bags of ramen in bags this year, occupying more than 25% of the Japanese ramen market, with a profit of more than 300 million US dollars."

Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "We are very happy to cooperate with Nissin Ramen. President Ando works with integrity and credibility. I hope we can continue to cooperate."

The implication is that it is impossible for Doll Noodles to sell shares, and the supervision of Nissin Ramen must be strengthened.

After listening to Momofuku Ando, ​​he said: "It is natural. If Mr. Lin had not chosen me, but had chosen others to cooperate, I believe that Nissin would not be where it is today."

Although I sometimes think about it, other ramen brands pay up to 5 US dollars in patent fees, while Nissin paid a full 49% of the shares; however, as the first Japanese ramen maker, Nissin Ramen occupies a large The advantages.

Not only that, but in the follow-up cooperation, the ideas of 'Ajisen Ramen' and 'Tonkotsu Ramen' all came from doll noodles.Even investing in a single stock, he made nearly 50 US dollars after listening to Lin Zhichao's advice.

Therefore, Momofuku Ando has no complaints in his heart, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to the relationship with Lin Zhichao.

Later, Lin Zhichao inquired about the follow-up development plan of Nissin Ramen. On the whole, Momofuku Ando planned very well, and developed ramen in bags and Ajisen Ramen at the same time.

"In the past year, we have not been able to distribute dividends to shareholders for the time being. I hope Mr. Lin will understand!"

"Haha, I just hope that Nissin Ramen will develop even bigger, so there is no rush to pay dividends."

The investment in the factory, the investment in the headquarters, the expansion of Ajisen Ramen, etc. all require funds; plus there is still a little debt ahead, so short-term dividends are not realistic.

Lin Zhichao is very envious of the Japanese market, but he knows that the development of doll noodles in Japan will definitely not be good, and it overlaps too much with Nissin ramen.Only after another two or three years, the development of cup noodles can bring the development of doll noodles to a higher level.

While the three of them were chatting, the office door came to mind, and a staff member came in to report: "President, Korean Jeon Joong-yoon is outside, I hope to see you!"

Momofuku Ando immediately explained to Lin Zhichao: "This Korean wants to introduce ramen technology and equipment, and go to Korea for development. It is said that he has visited some companies, but they have not reached an agreement. Is Mr. Lin interested in meeting? If not, I am now Tell him to leave."

Lin Zhichao said, "It's okay to meet you!"

The patented technology is for dolls, and instead of going to Hong Kong to seek cooperation, they came to Japan to seek cooperation.Moreover, some Japanese instant noodle companies want to cooperate with this Korean, but the conditions are very harsh.

It seems that everyone knows that South Korea will not value your Hong Kong patents.

Koreans can indeed ignore patents, but equipment and technology need to come to Japan to seek cooperation. At this time, the relationship between Japan and South Korea is not bad; on the contrary, Koreans should hate Chinese more, after all, they have only been beaten for almost ten years.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao has already thought in his heart that if cooperation is possible, he should authorize Nissin Ramen to cooperate with Koreans.

After a while, a slightly fat Korean man with a curly back came in.

Lin Zhichao and Chen Ping didn't get up, and Momofuku Ando didn't get up either, as if Quan Zhongrun was a beggar.

Hearing that the boss of the instant noodle invention company was here, Quan Zhongyun's expression changed slightly, because it meant the matter of 'patent fee'.

Lin Zhichao leaned on the sofa and said, "Just say what you want, as long as you convince us, we don't need your patent fees and cooperate with you."

Seeing this, Quan Zhongrun immediately became emotional.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Anteng, and Mr. Chen, I have seen a lot of long queues at the market for 5 won a bowl of leftover porridge (made with leftovers from the US military stationed in the garrison). Traditionally, japonica rice is the staple food. Korean people are actually not used to the food sent by the Americans. When I visited Japan and found that ramen solved a similar problem, I hoped to introduce ramen to be produced in Korea.”

Quan Zhongrun played the emotional card. He was wearing a gray suit and leather shoes. He was short and stood in front of the three of them, as if he was begging.

As you can imagine, he has been rejected by many people!
Of course, Lin Zhichao doesn't feel sorry for the problem of Koreans not having enough to eat. The compatriots in Hong Kong are still full at this time!

However, this is a business after all, a profitable thing.

In the previous life, Nissin Ramen cooperated with Samyang of South Korea and several instant noodle companies in Taiwan, and the annual dividends were huge.

However, considering the political influence, Lin Zhichao said to Momofuku Ando: "President Ando, ​​I can authorize Nissin Ramen to use our patents to cooperate with South Korea. We don't need a penny for patent fees."

Quan Zhongrun said quickly: "Thank you Mr. Lin, you are really an amazing entrepreneur"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Mr. Quan, you don't need to thank me. I actually know this patent. For South Korea, which can't even eat enough, the constraints are too small, so I gave up my rights."

Quan Zhongrun was embarrassed immediately, he really didn't plan to pay the patent fee.As long as there are Japanese companies willing to transfer equipment and technology, he can even start driving.

Ando Momofuku then said: "Mr. Jun Zhongjun, Nissin can purchase equipment and transfer technology for you. We only charge you for equipment. However, we hope to hold 49% of the shares."

Quan Zhongrun didn't have too many choices, so he could only say with a lack of confidence: "I only raised 5 US dollars in start-up funds. How much will the equipment cost?"

Momofuku Ando said: "We can provide you with equipment worth 2.5 US dollars first, and the equipment fee can be paid in installments for one year after it is put into production."

Putting a long line and catching big fish, Momofuku Ando learned from Lin Zhichao.

Koreans can no longer afford to eat, and the situation will get better sooner or later. As long as they get 49% of the shares, the dividends in the future will be huge.

In the end, Quan Zhongrun agreed to Momofuku Ando's request. After all, he had no other losses except for the unknown 49% equity.Other Japanese manufacturers often put forward more excessive demands.

What Quan Zhongyun values ​​most is the dominance of Nissin Ramen in Japan, especially its instant noodles with two flavors.

After Quan Zhongyun left, Lin Zhichao said: "The cooperation in South Korea must be authorized to Nissin; the cooperation on Taiwan Island must be Hong Kong."

Ando Momofuku immediately said: "This is natural!"

In fact, Lin Zhichao also saw that Momofuku Ando originally wanted to introduce Quan Zhongyun to Doll Noodles, and he didn't want to 'take advantage' of it.

From this point of view, Momofuku Ando's character is not bad.

If he can cooperate in the future, Lin Zhichao is also willing to cooperate with Momofuku Ando, ​​such as cup noodles.

It is almost impossible for instant noodles to become global and bigger; after all, every country has its own taste, and Asian countries such as South Korea, China, Japan, Xingdao, Thailand, and Malay in the previous life all have their own flavors. instant noodle brand, and has a high market share; even the doll noodles in Hong Kong are doing very well.

Although we cannot become stronger in every country, we can actually expand our business and develop in the Mainland in the later stage.

Finally, Momofuku Ando said: "Mr. Lin, what do you think about stock investment?"

Lin Zhichao asked: "President Ando wants to invest more?"

Momofuku Ando said with a smile: "I am not very sure, so I personally will not decide to invest; if Mr. Lin has a good opinion, I am willing to listen to the partner's opinion."

Between the words, it revealed the trust in Lin Zhichao, this Momofuku Ando is still very smart.

Lin Zhichao said: "I also don't think there should be additional investment. The Japanese stock market has risen from 1954 to this year, from more than 400 to more than 1400. I think it is already very remarkable. At the end of the year, President Itanium should consider selling stocks, and don't move for now. gone."

He didn't understand the stocks at that time, but he knew many things. For example, the Japanese stock market rose to 90 points in the early 36000s, but now it is only 1400 points, which is more than 20 times the market index.

However, due to the influence of the US stock market next year, there should be no good market, and the Japanese stock market will also need to adjust.

If you don't understand it, just don't fry it.

Momofuku Ando immediately accepted the decree and said: "No problem, it will be cleared at the end of the year. Nissin Ramen still needs to focus on the development of ramen and Ajisen Ramen."

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "That's the truth!"
