Chapter 122 Industrial Park

Cao Zhihua watched Lou Bancheng and Shen Bi greet each other while thinking about something.

The reason why I chose to build an industrial park in North Point was, on the one hand, to build a fun empire, and on the other hand, to enclose the land.

There is now Chunyang Street in the North Point of Hong Kong Island. It is known as the Little Shanghai City and is home to hundreds of thousands of poor people, mainly Shanghainese and Fujianese.

Now that we are building an industrial park here, we have cheap labor and can save production costs.

In the future, if the land is renovated, the factory can be moved inland, and the nature of the land can be changed to be converted into residential and commercial buildings.

You must know that Chunyang Street is as famous as Causeway Bay in the future as a check-in holy place. As long as the descendants of the future generations do not ruin their families, this piece of land alone can ensure that the descendants of the future generations can live a wealthy life.

So Cao Zhihua is ruthless this time and will encircle as much land as he can.

After waiting for a long time, Cao Zhihua finally waited until the transfer procedures were completed. In this era, transferring such a large amount is a very troublesome matter. To go through the transfer process at the bank, you have to go to the chairman of HSBC.

Fortunately, this time the transfer was done in person between the two parties and they were immediate family members, otherwise it would have taken a lot of time for the bank to verify the transaction.

Cao Zhihua took back his bankbook and looked at the amount inside, which was 6025 million. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

Putting the passbook into his pocket, Cao Zhihua saw Lou Bancheng and Shen Bi saying goodbye, and then he also said goodbye to Shen Bi and followed Lou Bancheng away.

After spending a long time dealing with Shen Bi, I feel that this person is really powerful. I feel that it is not the senior HSBC executive who will have such great energy in the future. This person uses HSBC's customer resources and now I don't know how many connections he has made.

Being able to help the boss solve problems, and having someone behind him to help push him forward, there is a reason why Shen Bi was able to rise to the top.

After sighing, Cao Zhihua took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was already 11 o'clock. After thinking about it, he decided to go back for lunch and then go to the Chinese Row to discuss decoration matters in the afternoon.

So he ordered Lou En to drive directly back to Repulse Bay.

When they got home, the three little ones and Chen Xueru were making lunch. Lou Xiao'e, who was in a depressed mood, was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When she saw Cao Zhihua coming back, she threw herself into Cao Zhihua's arms and said
"Zhihua, you're back. Am I being very ignorant today and making dad angry?"

Cao Zhihua smiled, touched Lou Xiao'e's hair, and said:
"It's okay. This happened too suddenly. It's understandable that you can't accept it all at once. Dad isn't angry with you. Okay, it's okay."

Lou Xiao'e heard Cao Zhihua say that her father was not angry and was in a much better mood, so she asked:
"Zhihua, are everything done?"

Cao Zhihua nodded, took out his bankbook and handed it to Lou Xiao'e for her to read, and said:

"It's done, let's take a look."

Lou Xiao'e took the passbook, opened it, and exclaimed, "Wow~" and immediately covered her mouth. After calming herself down, she handed the passbook to Cao Zhihua and said:

"Zhihua, we can't spend all this money in our lifetime."

Cao Zhihua tapped Lou Xiao'e with his finger and said:
"This is what dad gave us to start a business. We must use it to invest. The best way is to use the money to make more money."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Cao Zhihua with admiration and said:

"Zhihua, it will be your fault from now on."

Cao Zhihua nodded affirmatively and said:

"I said that I am responsible for making money and you are responsible for taking care of the house. If you have no money, just tell me. But how much money our family has, we must not tell anyone. No one can tell. Do you understand?"

"Ah, what should I do if I told Xueru this morning?"

"Xueru and we are family members. I told her it's okay, but no one else can." "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Cao Zhihua looked at how Lou Xiao'e was so infatuated with him, and couldn't help but hold Lou Xiao'e's head with both hands and kissed her.

After having lunch with everyone, he told Lou En to call him at two o'clock, and Cao Zhihua went upstairs to take a nap.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Zhihua and Wang Fanghua met on the 12th floor of China Bank.

Cao Zhihua took the drawings designed by Li Renxing and looked at them carefully. The design drawings were similar to what he said he wanted. Then he looked at the material standards and asked:

"Boss Wang, I've seen the design drawings. It's not a big problem. How much do you want to quote?"

Wang Fanghua asked with a smile:

"Boss Cao, do you plan to contract the work? Or contract the work and materials?"

"How much does it cost to contract labor and materials?"

Wang Fanghua said:
"The red envelope materials total 4.5 Hong Kong dollars."

Although Cao Zhihua just came to Hong Kong Island and did not understand the prices of building materials, he thought they were expensive after doing some calculations in his mind, so he said:

"Boss Wang, this price is too expensive."

Wang Fanghua saw the young man saying it was too expensive and stopped talking. He murmured in his heart that this order only requires yellow sand, cement, bricks, labor, a set of bathroom materials, and a little stainless steel. In fact, he can earn 1 yuan. But who would mind having too much money?
Wang Fanghua thought about it again and again, but in the end she was still afraid of losing the order, so she said:

"Boss Cao, you also know that it is very troublesome to decorate an office building like this. In addition to materials and labor, the property owner also has to take care of it, otherwise the construction will not start. In fact, there is not much money to be made at this price. Our quotation is already very realistic. .You have to let us make some money, right? How about I give it a little less, like 4 yuan?"

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:
"How long will it take you to complete this decoration?"

Wang Fanghua gave a conservative time:
"The decoration can be completed in one and a half months."

Cao Zhihua felt that money was not the important point, it was only a small amount in total, but he was completely dissatisfied with the progress and said:

"Boss Wang, the materials used for my decoration are very simple, the technical content is also very low, and the construction is not complicated. I charge 2 Hong Kong dollars for labor and materials. I will give you one month to complete the decoration. On the basis of one month, as long as I accept it There is no problem with the quality. I will give you an extra 1000 Hong Kong dollars every day in advance. If you are willing to do it, we will sign a contract. If you are not willing, I will find someone else."

Wang Fanghua deals with business every day and has very high negotiation skills. Now that he sees Cao Zhihua's resolute attitude, he knows that this is the bottom line that Cao Zhihua can accept.

So I calculated in my mind, and after careful calculation, I basically earned about 1.3 yuan after completing this order. As for how much extra money I can make if I complete the decoration in advance, I can't estimate this now. I can only work harder and come every day. Keep an eye on the renovation progress.So he breathed a sigh of relief and replied:
"Boss Cao, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Cao Zhihua nodded and said:

"Boss Wang, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Boss Cao, let's go sit in our company for a while and write the contract?"

"Ok"

Cao Zhihua followed Wang Fanghua and walked to Lirenhang Company while talking.

When going downstairs, Wang Fanghua suddenly said:
"Boss Cao, I need to make it clear to you first. Before our company signs a contract and enters the site for decoration, we must pay half of the cost for materials."

Cao Zhihua didn't care about this, nodded and said:
"Okay, this is no problem."
