Chapter 41 Factory Preparation
Michelle Morgan is a very reliable woman. The phone company just sent a written notice the day before yesterday, and the installer came to install it early this morning.

Two lines, two telephone numbers, 25001 and 25002 respectively.

Xian Yaowen knew how to do it, and he paid for the tea and agreed to the installer's promotion. It turns out that there was a door-to-door phone wiping service at this time. A dedicated person would come to the door once a week and wipe the phone as bright as a mirror with oil or wax. He would also turn on the phone and put a drop of essence inside, so that people could get the phone call while talking on the phone. Double enjoyment.

The fee is not expensive, only 4 yuan a month.

One phone was pulled into the living room on the fourth floor, and the other was pulled into the shop on the ground floor. One of the two shops was reserved for Liu Changfu, and the other one was not rented out by Xian Yaowen, who was planning to open a shop.

The phone call went through, and Xian Yaowen took Qi Longque out.

I first went to Li's Voice, paid the installation fee of 25 yuan and the annual fee of 100 yuan, and made an appointment to install the line tomorrow morning.

There are now two radio stations in Hong Kong. One is the official Radio Hong Kong, which mainly disseminates official news. You can listen to it by buying a radio and adjusting the channel. The second one is Lai’s Voice. In order to ensure charging, cable technology is used. If you want to listen to it, For broadcasting, you need to pull a line back and sound the horn at home, no radio is needed.

At this time, most people in Hong Kong still didn’t know what a television was. Before Lai’s Voice was established, not many people listened to the radio. However, since Lai’s Voice began to broadcast programs 24 hours a day, many people listened to the radio. way of pastime.

Of course, at a cost of 125 yuan, in a refugee society, it is destined to be a gadget for a few people. Civilian families rarely install it. Li's appeal is mostly in well-off homes and commercial places.

If a store installs a radio and puts a few benches at the door, it will definitely attract people to come and listen to the radio. Prepare beer, rice wine, and some peanuts and snow peas to go with the wine. There will always be some thin-skinned people. With a little consumption and the siphon effect brought about by popularity, the store's sales won't be too bad.

In the short term, Xian Yaowen does not value the store's profits. The main purpose is to provide cover for the security personnel that will be deployed soon, so that they will not be too boring when on duty. In the long term, we will see.

After signing the entrustment agreement at William Chan Law Firm at ten o'clock in the morning, Xian Yaowen immediately went to the foreign banks and trading houses that had machine agency or sales services in the Central area to inquire about the price of sewing machines.

Opening a garment factory naturally requires sewing machines, and it also requires professional industrial sewing machines. Especially since Xian Yaowen is planning to make all kinds of complex underwear, flat sewing machines, chain sewing machines, quilting machines, overlock sewing machines and interlock sewing machines are all available. It couldn't be less, and the quantity demanded was also large. The difference between the inside and outside could be hundreds of thousands, so he had to find the best price.

I ran from noon to evening. I took a few introduction pages, wrote down several pages of product models and price lists, bought a few envelopes at a store, stuffed 50 yuan into each envelope, and hurried to the store. Eastern Telegraph Office.

Hong Kong's overseas communications have been exclusively operated by Tai Tung Telegraph and Telegraph Office since 1936. If you want to make telegrams and international long distance calls, you can only go to Tai Tung Telegraph and Telegraph Office.

When he arrived at the Dadong Telegraph Office, Xian Yaowen gave an envelope to every staff member in the telephone hall who was about to get off work, and begged the other party to leave one person behind to get off work later. Fortunately, there were only three staff members in total, and they were all reasonable people. After receiving his envelope, one of them "volunteered" to stay and work overtime.

Fortunately, we are still in the era of manual transfer of telephone calls. We can still call companies without knowing the number or address. For the receptionist, it is a basic skill to remember the wiring methods of some popular companies.

Xian Yaowen only relied on the country and brand name to dial the international call to the corresponding country, and the transfer city was determined by luck. Japan first tried Osaka and then Nagoya, Switzerland to Zurich, West Germany to the Ruhr, and Italy. When arriving in Milan, there was no need to guess in the United States. The Singer Company, which played an important role in the sewing machine industry, had a Singer building on Broadway. He had spent most of his previous life in New York and didn't know too well.

After making N calls, Xian Yaowen eliminated manufacturers from Switzerland, West Germany, and Italy, leaving only American Singer and Toyo Brothers International Co., Ltd. The former had a strong brand and could negotiate installment payments, while the latter had the capabilities of Toyo companies at this time. The typical characteristics are "stirring up shit", being cheap and bowing, hitting the market with low prices, and being a shit stirrer that is hated by peers. Colleagues are annoying, but Xian Yaowen is not annoying when he plays the role of a buyer. He can save a little bit. He plans to further communicate with Dongyang friends, and it is best to call a business manager to come over for an interview.

In the future, if any Japanese company blocks his business, he will not be lenient in dealing with the little devils, and he will remember the hatred of the country and the family.

At the end of the day, he also sent a telegram to Shanghai to Shen Yushan of Xiechang Sewing Machine Factory. The factory produced the first industrial sewing machine in China. The brand name "Wudi" means "the invincible hand in the world". The tone is quite loud.

If Xiechang's sewing machines are reliable, he is willing to order a batch to support domestic industrial development.

[One of the three major sewing machines in the 1966s, the Butterfly brand was the leader. The predecessor of Butterfly was Invincible. In , it was changed in order to unify the Chinese and English trademark names in domestic and foreign trade. ]
……

The next day.

Xian Yaowen went to visit Chen Rixin at the gate of the Chen family in Qilinwei. One of them was sincerely selling, and the other was sincerely buying. Without spending too much money, both parties reached a consensus. A total of 30 square feet of zero-rated land was rounded up and sold at a price of 9 cents per square foot. The round was rounded up to 30 yuan, and Xian Yaowen bought another 50 square feet of reclamation permit from Chen Rixin.

According to the terms of the permit, 50 feet of reclamation of 8.4 feet needs to be handed over to the Hong Kong government, which is slightly more than one-sixth, which is still relatively cost-effective.

Since Chen Rixin was in urgent need of funds to develop a new business and the transfer of land was relatively fast, Xian Yaowen sold the other party a favor and paid 30 yuan to the other party on the spot without delaying for a minute. Chen Rixin both appreciated and appreciated his frankness. The two of them also have the possibility of becoming close friends.

As soon as this was done, Xian Yaowen immediately went to Luo Yingshi and asked him to quickly organize people to build a mock-up cofferdam at the 50-square-foot boundary. He also asked the other party to introduce the designer and extract some elements from the old drawings. " Synthesize” a new factory drawing.

Before the established fact is established, everything is possible. He must make some preparations to increase his defense capabilities. If unfortunately he encounters a strong person who takes a fancy to his territory, he can also have certain countermeasures to force the other party to be restrained. , don’t look too ugly when eating.

Garment factories do not have heavy production machinery, and there are no waste gases and wastewater that require special treatment. The factory building does not need to be specially designed, and even a shed in the open air can serve as a factory building.

30 square feet is equivalent to 27856 square meters, which is more than the 2.6 square meters of Kowloon Walled City. As a lifestyle community, Kowloon Walled City has many supporting buildings. Despite this, the Kowloon Walled City with a population of about 2 is not too cramped. Comparatively speaking, a factory does not require many supporting facilities. It only needs a production workshop, a warehouse, a small office building, a canteen, and a small dormitory. At full load, 30 square feet can fully accommodate 10 workers. .

The scale of 10 workers is already very large. Xian Yaowen never thought of cramming so many workers into one factory. The denser the workers, the higher the probability of an accident. In the event of a fire or stampede, it is likely that his All efforts come to zero.

Just as eggs will not be put in one basket, he does not intend to gather workers in one place. According to his idea, 2 workers is the limit of a factory. To expand production capacity, branch factories will be built, and they will be across cities and across cities. In cross-border construction, a certain safe distance should be maintained between baskets.

In this way, 30 square feet is completely sufficient for the future production capacity expansion of the garment factory. There is no need to rush the reclamation project. When he has more money and there are signs of rising brick and soil prices, it will not be too late to start reclamation.
