The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 567 There is a pit at every step

Ten years later, the characterization was changed to 'protest'.

Li Ming and others did not know that such a big event had happened at this time. They were discussing the minor matter of the raw materials for the seasoning package.

There is no need to discuss the production of spices, salt, MSG, and sauces.

There is no difficulty in dehydrating vegetables. In the early 50s, in order to support the war, it was urgently researched.

Dehydrated beef powder and dehydrated chicken are the difficulties.

Everyone’s joke: Master Kong can’t use up one cow in a year.

It's a slight exaggeration, but the cattle actually needed are better.

There is indeed very little seasoning allocated to each packet.

Therefore, pork, beef, and chicken, which are in short supply, are not a problem.

The key problem is that the production technology is not good.

Hot air drying method.

The shortcomings of insufficient thermal energy, high energy consumption and high operating costs can be ignored for the time being.

High-temperature hot air seriously damages the internal structure of the material particles and easily produces a burnt smell. It is difficult to deal with this defect.

Freeze drying method.

In 51, engineer Ge Xuexuan was the first to successfully design a freeze-drying machine in Shanghai. In 53, it was manufactured by Wuchang Machinery Factory, Hezhong Company, and Shanghai Medical Equipment Factory.

Due to poor quality, unstable quality, and higher energy consumption than hot air drying, only 10 sets were produced and supplied nationwide.

There are only some experimental freeze-drying equipment in Jingcheng and Shanghai.

Not to mention microwave vacuum drying technology.

This technology is currently only used in Ou magnesium.

It was Luo Yun's turn to ask curiously: "Where did you get these spices?"

Li Ming said frankly: "You may have guessed that it is imported from abroad."

Zhang Haiyang thought to himself that the road was really wild, and he could even get things from abroad. “We can’t just rely on imports in the future, right?”

Li Ming smiled and asked, "Why not?"

"Really made seasoning packets are not expensive. One packet only costs two or three cents. Importing one million packets only costs two to thirty thousand yuan."

"At that time, we can also import wheat and export bread; use a small part of the money earned to import raw materials to produce seasoning packets."

It turned out that this could still be the case. Zhang Haiyang was a little confused by this unbridled idea and asked:
"Where can the bread be exported?"

"The port city is a good import and export channel. It can also be exported to Bei Chao Moss and even to Yue."

In fact, it's nonsense. Taking into account the land freight, the final cost will be much higher than that in the port city. No businessman will purchase these noodles.

The country of Yue is at war with the countrymen and has no money.

Beichao Moss is actually a good market. With the care of Big Brother at this time, life is happy. All rural areas have been electrified, and people from the south run to the north from time to time.

Li Ming continued: "Besides, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and instant noodles can also be of great use."

Zhang Haiyang's eyes lit up, "Yes, it takes a lot of time for the troops to bury pots to cook. Just boiling water can save a lot of time and reduce the risk of exposing your position by lighting a fire."

"So, our Innovation Research Laboratory has a great responsibility. In the future, when the troops have urgent tasks, they can use instant noodles to deal with them first."

Li Ming was really not fooling him now. Even if field food was greatly improved in a few decades, instant noodles would still be an important strategic reserve material.

Luo Yun pays more attention to the import and export trade operations and feels that this is the correct way to do business. "Xiaobai, do you think this can work too!"

"Okay. I think it's okay. The canned horseshoes are imported. Once the cans are ready for export, you can earn foreign exchange as you go in and out."

I gained a lot of experience following Li Ming, but every time someone from outside chatted with Li Ming, Zhou Xiaobai didn't like to talk. He liked to watch his boyfriend criticize Fang Qiu for his handsomeness.

It's a pity that I was deceived this time.

Not talking about transportation costs, as I said before, the oil used to make instant noodles is not easy to solve, and palm oil needs to be imported.

Other deep-fried pancakes are not as delicious and have an oily taste, especially since they have a short shelf life.

Soybeans, rapeseeds, and peanuts will oxidize and deteriorate due to high temperatures within a short period of time, turning yellow and black. This will cause the fried items to change color and make the product quality unstable.

At this time, it is not known that it is likely to produce carcinogens, and if it was known, it would be impossible to use it.

Palm oil can withstand long-term high temperatures, and the quality of fried items is stable.

Hand-making some items can be done in any country. Once it reaches industrial production, there are technical barriers everywhere.

This is also a reason why many people are easily deceived.

The project sounded very logical and reliable, and I thought it would not be difficult to make money.

In fact, there are pitfalls at every step.

the other end.

Harbor City.

The fact that Shorty Zhou and others had their legs broken was actually just a trivial matter in the whole city.

Ah Hai, Ah Rong and others deliberately made a lot of noise in order not to lose momentum.

Anyway, the nearby gangs will definitely know about it soon, so it is better to take the initiative to tell them.

The purpose of Ahai and others is also very obvious, to prevent nearby gangs from trying to take advantage of them. They have little loss and are already prepared.

It's a hard bone that's easy to grind your teeth on.

Most of the gang territories in Hong Kong City are divided like this.

A big gang occupies the best streets in an area and occupies industries that bring in quick money.

Other small gangs can also occupy a few corner streets with little oil and water to engage in hard work.

With the four major detectives dividing their spheres of influence, there are far fewer cases of turf grabbing, but it is not impossible.

The reaction of Ahai and others is a normal reaction.

The attached name of 'Broken Leg Yama' sounded again, letting people on the road know the true province of 'Yam Luo'.

Director Li Buren of Xingchen Company.

The name fits his style very well.

It is indeed a bit unkind to interrupt other people's hands and feet when they disagree.

The gang bosses are all shrewd, and they stay away from such a tough guy who doesn't mix in the world.

Things that don't bring any benefit from fighting won't be done.

Li Ming's Mars Trading Company can save a lot of minor troubles in the future.

There is a cycle of heaven, and there must be good and bad.

The Lone Ranger who has become famous has a very big drawback. Because he has no power, some young people often come to provoke him, trying to gain power by riding on other people's fame.

Li Ming has already taken measures to deal with this, and the security company has expanded its manpower.

He maintains about 100 full-time security guards, which is equivalent to being a powerful gang leader.

No one would mess with him except those who are extremely skilled and arrogant.

Li Ming's goal of personally taking action to deter those who coveted it was achieved, and possible drawbacks were avoided. The response was considered satisfactory.

After hearing the news, Wong Fook-yee, a consultant in charge of public relations, rushed back to the Federal Building in Central from Tsuen Wan.

"Hello, Mr. Lou, hello, Chairman." "Thank you, Consultant Huang." "Consultant Huang, please have a seat."

Huang Fuyi didn't see Li Ming, "Where is Director Li? Has there been another twist in the matter?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "There are no twists and turns. Director Li has taken care of the matter. The two managers, Tang Hongde and Xu Zhiyong, are handling the loose ends at the supply point in Tan Chen Road."

Huang Fuyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good if it doesn't happen. I just saw the land in Tsuen Wan, Kowloon. It's a large piece of industrial land, nearly 200 acres."

"I went to the supply point in Tsuen Wan to inquire more about the land situation. After learning the news, I rushed back immediately."

Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise: "Is 200 acres a whole piece?"

At this time, Tsuen Wan also included Kwai Tsing District, which was undergoing large-scale land reclamation, factories, and public housing estates (similar to low-rent housing).

Huang Fuyi explained: "It's not one piece, it's three pieces connected together."

"The land in Gangcheng is relatively small. One piece is 90 acres, one is more than 50 acres, and one is more than 40 acres."

Lou Xiao'e said a little disappointed: "I just said there is no such a large piece of land in Hong Kong City."

"Isn't it easy to win three pieces of land at the same time?"

Huang Fuyi replied: "Yes, it needs to work a little bit."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly thought: "If we use 10 acres of it to build a kindergarten and a primary school, can we capture all three pieces of land?"

"Chairman, this is a big deal!" Huang Fuyi said in surprise, "You can definitely win three pieces of land."

Father Lou, who was drinking tea, looked at him sideways.

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly and said: "Director Li has a plan to build a kindergarten near the factory so that employees can bring their children to work and take them back when they get off work. The best of both worlds."

"As for building a primary school, Director Li and I discussed it. Instead of spending money to support employees' children to study elsewhere, it is better to study in our own school."

Father Lou was worried that the young man would come up with whatever he wanted, so he reminded: "Xiao'e, do you have that much money? Building a school is not a small sum, and the school costs a lot every year."

Lou Xiaoe introduced in detail: "The 90 acres of land were bought in the name of an instant noodle factory, and the 50 acres of land were bought in the name of a ham sausage factory. The 40 acres of land were bought in the name of Mars Trading, and then part of the land was used to build a school. .”

"The profits from Mars trade are relatively large, which can be used to build a primary school."

"As for the primary school funding, if we can't apply for government subsidies, Xiao Ming and I have already calculated the cost."

"There are 40 students in a class, 8 classes in a grade, 6 classes in 48 grades, and 1920 people are recruited. Basically, employees' children can be recruited."

"One teacher teaches two classes in Mandarin and mathematics, and one teacher in English, painting, music, and history teaches four or eight classes, which requires about 2 teachers. The salary is more than 4 yuan a month. .”

"The tuition fee is 10 yuan per month, which can cover most teachers' salaries. There are also thousands of yuan in operating expenses to be paid in advance. The actual monthly expenditure is about 2 yuan, which is not a big problem."

"I only have tens of thousands more yuan during the holidays, so there is no pressure."

A string of numbers came out of Lou Xiao'e's mouth.

The building of the school seemed to have been well thought out.

Moreover, tuition was not free, so Lou’s father had no objection.

Huang Fuyi was shocked. Donating to build a school or school building was something only the wealthy people in Hong Kong City would do.

The net worth of Li Ming and Lou Xiao'e is still far from being wealthy.

I can only say that it is very courageous.

The wages and benefits offered to workers are also relatively good.

It's not an invitation from the rich to buy their name.

Huang Fuyi felt that there was smoke coming out of his ancestral grave, and he was extremely lucky. The people he followed were not only good at making money, but also kind-hearted.

As an old employee, following such a big boss, not to mention getting rich and wealthy, at least I don’t have to worry about life for the rest of my life.

Huang Fuyi asked cautiously: "Chairman, are there any restrictions on the enrollment of schools built by the company?"

Lou Xiao'e did not answer but asked: "Are you worried that some people will come to work for a few days, send their children to school, and then resign and go elsewhere?"

Huang Fuyi nodded and said, "Yes, there are also fired employees and the like."

Judging from the number of teachers, we know it is not a simple school. It only charges 10 yuan per month, which is equivalent to spending only one-third of the tuition to attend a good private school. Many people will definitely squeeze in.

They have all been considered. Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Any employee who has passed the probation period can do it. Children who are not employees of the company will have a tuition fee of 30 yuan from next month. Only those with good character and academic performance can continue to receive discounts."

"Children of factory employees on Hong Kong Island who are not suitable for going to school in Tsuen Wan will receive tuition subsidies."

"Consultant Huang, please don't reveal these plans yet."

Huang Fuyi quickly promised: "I won't say a word."

Lou Xiao'e explained briefly, "I informed you in advance. If there are any changes to the follow-up plan, it will easily cause confusion among the employees below."

Father Lou saw that his daughter was becoming more and more thoughtful in doing things, and he felt deeply that his little daughter had changed so much.

Work is the best way to train people.

Coupled with Li Ming's delegation of authority, Lou Xiao'e grew rapidly without realizing it.

night.

Li Ming came to Hong Kong City to pick up Lou Xiao'e.

"It would be great if I could go back to Hong Kong Island directly. Every time I go out, I have to trouble you to take me back to Hong Kong Island from Kowloon."

"Just wait until Huang Fuyi and the others find a suitable house."

Li Ming now has enough energy to change his position at any time. Recently, he has gained a lot of energy from Zhang Haiyang and Luo Yun. These two people are changing not only their life, but also their outlook on life.

Lou Xiao'e stood at the table watching him make instant noodles, which smelled of braised beef.

"It's better to choose a high-rise house. We buy the entire floor so no one will notice us when we go in and out."

"If we need to hire a servant in the villa, our whereabouts will appear unusual."

Li Ming said while busy: "I need to buy both. Occasionally I need to treat your mother, your sister-in-law and others, and a villa is more suitable."

"Villas are also a symbol of strength. People in Hong Kong City are very snobbish. Not having a villa is like being inferior to others."

"And in a free port like Port City, housing prices will only rise in the future, not fall."

Lou Xiao'e feels that the risk of housing is very high, "It fell very badly the year before last, and it only rose a little last year. It fell again this year."

"Don't you still trust my judgment?"

"I believe it will rise sooner or later, but I feel it may not rise much. If the appreciation rate cannot offset the loan interest, then it will be a waste of time and money loss."

Li Ming put a lid on the bowl and let the noodles soak a little more.

"Rent is also an income plus appreciation income, which can outperform the loan interest."

"I will ask Huang Fuyi to register a company to take care of our real estate."

For self-occupiers, regardless of the interest rate, it is definitely a good deal to buy a house.

Investment properties must be carefully calculated.

The interest income that should have been generated by the own funds, the rent income, the taxes on holding and selling, the loan interest, and the appreciation or depreciation of the house. Only after comprehensive calculation can we know whether the book is a profit or a loss.

Factors such as the location, school district, and quality of the property that will affect the price increase also need to be carefully considered.

The Chinese are very lucky.

In the next few decades, the entire Chinese area will be an area of ​​rapid economic growth.

There is no need to consider these. If you buy with your eyes closed, you will make money. The only difference is that you make more or less. (End of chapter)
