On July 21, 1977, after Bao Zixuan finished breakfast, he went out at the behest of his mother.

It was only 8:40 when Bao Zixuan arrived at the Federal Building, because his mother told him that He Mingcheng was a person with a very strong sense of time. Asked him to meet him early, although he is an employer, but the respect he deserves is still given. About 10 minutes later, I saw a black Toyota driving up, He Mingcheng rolled down the window and said, "Boy, it's okay! Wait a long time! Get in the car!"

After Bao Zixuan saw that the person who came was He Mingcheng, he got into the car and sat in the co-pilot's seat and said: "Uncle He, it won't be long, how long will we have to arrive! If you are tired, take a rest, I will drive!"

He Mingcheng: "Don't worry! Uncle He, I'm not old! About 40-45 minutes! Besides, you kid doesn't want me to show you the way." ”

Bao Zixuan: "That's right," so he chatted with He Mingcheng about the situation of the factory!

Ho Mingcheng: "Both factories are in Kwun Tong, Kowloon. The distance is not very far, one is because the boss's family is ready to emigrate, so now sell the factory to cash out and leave, but the factory is its own, and the price will be more expensive, more than 2 million. At present, the factory has 56 workers, most of whom have been engaged in arcade assembly work for 4 or 5 years. The other is because of his poor management, and now he is insolvent, and the factory is rented, and the number of people is about 30. The factory has only been doing arcade assembly for more than 1 year, but the machines are all new, and about 500,000 can be won. I said, you kid, can you do this! Look at it's only been a year, and some people can't support it. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry! I have confidence in Uncle He." ”

He Mingcheng: "Where do you go, and when you work in the future, I still call you Mr. Bao, you still call me and the lawyer!"

"Okay, Mr. Ho. Bao Zixuan replied.

He Mingcheng: "You kid reacted quickly! "Hahahaha

The two of them quickly arrived at the first factory under the leadership of He Mingcheng, the Xiangjiang Tong. Looking at the crowded workshops and dilapidated workshops, there is nothing to be gained from the factory except that the equipment is new. And the boss is a layman, 40 years old this year, surnamed Zhong, is a middle-aged fat man; he used to open a seafood restaurant, and later heard that the OEM arcade machine is particularly profitable, so he did this business. However, since he entered, the piracy industry in Hong Kong has been hit hard, and business has not been very good. Hearing that He Mingcheng and the two of them came to buy the factory, they immediately enthusiastically introduced!

Boss Zhong: "Lawyer He, Mr. Xiaobao." Don't look at my small factory, but the equipment is all recently purchased and all new. How did you two look at it? ”

Bao Zixuan: "Boss Zhong, the equipment is not worth much, second-hand equipment is easy to find, and most of the parts of the arcade machine are purchased and assembled from outside." Not to mention Xiangjiang, which really relies on its own production, even RB has this strength. So how about you give a good price? ”

Boss Zhong: "Xiaobao is always a cheerful person, I don't talk nonsense, 800,000 yuan, one hand to pay the money, the other hand to the factory." ”

Bao Zixuan: "I'll think about it." After speaking, he left with He Mingcheng. Because in his opinion, the follow-up development potential of this place is not very large, which will restrict the expansion and development of the factory, and if there is no better one, he will choose here. Now I'm going to go to another one. And at this time, seeing that the two were leaving, Boss Zhong chased them out, and the two of them had a good price to discuss!

Bao Zixuan: "I'll go back and think about it, and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." So he got in the car and left. When the two left, Boss Zhong called one of his subordinates and said, follow and see where they are going.

After Bao Zixuan and they arrived at the second factory, they were still very satisfied with this factory, although it was a little remote, there were no other buildings nearby, just empty land. The boss used to want to make machine tool production, but he didn't have the technology, so he was able to assemble an arcade machine in the end.

He Mingcheng: "See! Security is also a big investment, this side is not as good as Xiangjiang Island, and the security is not very ideal. This boss's name is Pan Jianwen, he is almost 60 years old this year, and now his son and daughter are developing in Canada, and he and his wife are left in Xiangjiang. I've known each other for a few years, and this piece of land is all inherited from their family, so the price will be higher. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry! Lawyer He, I know in my heart, if I really can't do it, it's good just now." "When the two men arrived at the factory gate, there was a security guard to register. Seeing the actions of the security guards, Bao Zixuan is too familiar, it seems that this boss has also found some people who have been soldiers, which is relieved, but there are still some people from the mainland in this era.

Pan Jianwen: "Lawyer He, you have arrived, this is the general manager of Xiaobao! You are really young and promising, let me take you to the workshop to have a look! Although most of the equipment was bought a few years ago, the workers are very well maintained. "Listening to Pan Jianwen don't look like a businessman at all, this may also be an appearance, let's take a look at the situation first!

After walking around, Bao Zixuan already had a general understanding in his heart. The factories are all single-storey buildings, which are very simple to build. In order to support the façade and facilitate life, a two-story small building was built next to the factory, and the first floor was used as an office, and the owner's family could live on the second floor, which was a lot more convenient. There is also a row of dormitories are also the simplest, with a total construction area of about 2,000 square meters, according to the current housing price comparison in Xiangjiang, it should be about 2 million, but the land next to it is too big, a total of 230 acres, even if it is cheap, it will be about 46 million to 48 million.

Bao Zixuan: "Pan Sheng, I look okay, you can make a price!"

Pan Jianwen did not make a bid, but asked: "After Mr. Xiaobao took over the factory, did he also make arcade machines?" To be honest, this line is not easy to do, I want to ask the workers how you are going to arrange it. ”

Bao Zixuan didn't expect Pan Jianwen to ask the workers questions first without an offer, which made him feel a little surprised. But it quickly came to pass! This could be a good boss! I want to think about the long-term for the workers.

Bao Zixuan: "Pan Sheng, you can rest assured that I will retain all the workers, provided that they are willing to work for me, and their work ability can match their wages." Rest assured that I won't fire a worker if they haven't made a serious mistake. ”

Pan Jianwen: "Okay, then 2.6 million, the factory is yours, provided that you can accept all the workers." ”

Bao Zixuan: "Pan Sheng, there is no problem with the price, but I'm not afraid of your jokes, I don't have that much money all of a sudden." When he heard this, Pan Jianwen's face changed slightly, as if he was saying that you don't have the money to make me happy! Then he continued: "Pan Sheng, do you think this is okay, the price is calculated according to 3 million, I will give you 1 million first, and give you the remaining two million within half a year." If you don't make up for the 2 million factories in half a year, you take it back, and my 1 million is equivalent to giving it to you for nothing. I'm also just starting out. ”

And at this time, He Mingcheng said: "Pan Sheng, even if the money can't be given to you at that time, our Xiaobao family will not care about it." ”

Pan Jianwen: "Since Lawyer He has spoken, I will give you a face, 2.6 million, and you can give me 1.6 million when you arrive, but you have to be kind to every worker here." ”

Bao Zixuan: "Then thank you Pan Sheng, I heard that the land to the south of the factory is yours, a total of about 230 acres, I hope you can give me a year, don't look for a buyer first." ”

Pan Jianwen: "Hahaha, your ambition is not small, I want to see what your kid will develop into in the future." Okay, I'll wait for a year, 60 million, no matter what the price of the land in Xiangjiang is, the land you take out will be yours. ”

After the three of them talked about some details, mainly on the payment method and the treatment of workers. He Mingcheng began to prepare the contract, and after seeing that there was no problem, the two parties quickly signed it. Seeing that after a year, if Bao Zixuan took out 60 million yuan, if Pan Jianwen repented, he would have to compensate 120 million Hong Kong dollars; Pan Jianwen smiled and said, "Lawyer He, you are also my lawyer!" After speaking, he laughed, but still signed his name. Bao Zixuan handed over the Standard Chartered Bank check that had been prepared to Pan Jianwen, and the factory was officially owned by him, although there was still 1.6 million in arrears.

At the same time, after hearing the report from his subordinates that He Mingcheng and Bao Zixuan had stayed in Old Man Pan's factory for a long time, and when they came out, they left with a smile, Boss Zhong said to his subordinates that there was no need to make an appointment with Lawyer He anymore. Let's find our next home!

Little brother: "Big brother, forget it." ”

Boss Zhong: "He Mingcheng is a barrister after all, and that kid is so young, he can be invited; the background is definitely not simple, there is no need to do things too much, in case 、、、、" He didn't say, but the younger brother already understood.
