Chapter 103 Walkman, Headphones, Music Tape Factory
A new neighbor came up on Baijia Road, and the surrounding neighbors knew it immediately. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Zetian did not deliberately hide his identity, so they all knew that it was a billionaire from the United States, the founder of Sunbird and Apple - Chronos· Li, worth at least $1 billion or more!
As for Li Zetian's Chinese name, few people know it, and the media said his English name in publicity.
A billion-dollar super-rich man was rare in Hong Kong in 1976, and there is no doubt that everyone knew that such a young billionaire must have a bright future and would achieve even more dazzling achievements than he does now. So that night, a lot of people came to the door.
Li Zetian's family naturally received them warmly, and connections are actually a powerful resource.
As the saying goes, the more friends you have, the easier the road to go.
And these people are not ordinary people, they are not political and economic celebrities, or rich people, and they have very great power and influence in Hong Kong!
The strong dragon does not suppress the head dragon, and Li Zetian will have more things to rely on them in the future.
For Li Zetian, cooperation is always stronger than confrontation!
Anyone who fights alone can only end up with failure!
Li Zetian understands this truth very well in his heart, so Apple will choose to raise funds and introduce the Rockefeller family as a strategic partner, so as to strengthen itself with the help of allies!
These neighbors on Baijia Road in Taiping Mountain didn't stay long, they knew that Li Zetian's family had just moved over and definitely needed to rest, so they usually came to say hello and leave, of course, there were some people who chatted for a while.
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Chengzhi looked at the dozens of exquisite business cards on the table, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. "Any business card here is going to make people out there," he says.
Li Zetian said lightly, "This is nothing, it's normal! In this world, money symbolizes status and glory! If I am very, very rich, even if I want the business card of the President of the United States, he will definitely be very happy to give it to me personally! But if I have no money or go bankrupt, then no one will pay attention to me. When the momentum is gained, the threshold is broken, and when the momentum is lost, the door is crowded. This society is the reality! It can really be said that the world is hot and cold, and the people's hearts are not ancient!"
When Li Chengzhi heard this, he was stunned, feeling that his son was older than himself, and he would say these words!
Although Li Zetian did not live as long as Li Chengzhi, what Li Zetian experienced was not comparable to Li Chengzhi, how an orphan who was lonely and helpless since childhood survived in this world, this is probably beyond the comprehension and imagination of outsiders!
"Son, your thoughts are too pessimistic!"
Li Zetian shook his head and chuckled: "Dad, let's not discuss this, there's no point." It's getting late now, go to bed and rest, I'm going to talk about business tomorrow!"
"Okay...... Then you rest early. Li Chengzhi said.
Li Zetian was indeed a little tired, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down in the room.
There are two ordinary sedans in the garage, a Volkswagen and a Ford. Early the next morning, Li Chengzhi drove a Volkswagen and Xiao Zhixuan took Xiao Qiqi to Hong Kong to play. At the same time, I plan to help Kiki find a primary school.
Li Zetian drove a Ford to meet with the officials of the Provisional Authority of the Hong Kong Industrial Estates, and he had already asked people to make an appointment for him.
At noon, Li Zetian came to Tai Po Industrial Estate. Located on a 75-hectare area of reclaimed land east of Tai Po New Town in the northeast of the New Territories in Hong Kong, about 1.5 kilometers from Tai Po New Town, Tai Po Industrial Estate is the first industrial estate in Hong Kong where Motorola has its factory.
The official who met with Li Zetian was an Englishman named Jim Holmes, in his forties, and very obese.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Li, I'm Jim Holmes, the Secretary for the Provisional Administration of Hong Kong's Industrial Estates!" he said, holding out his fat hand.
"Nice to meet you, Director Jim Holmes!"
Li Zetian shook his hand and said, "Presumably my intentions, my employees have already told you." Apple is ready to release a new product, so it plans to open a branch and build a factory in Hong Kong, an international metropolis!"
Hong Kong is an international metropolis with extremely advanced information, and enjoys the world's freest trade port, coupled with its own good infrastructure and sound legal system, which provides a unique business environment for entrepreneurs and businessmen. In addition, Hong Kong's tax rate is low and there are few types of taxes, and many international institutions take advantage of Hong Kong's tax advantages to achieve reasonable tax avoidance. And China will soon open up, and companies opening in Hong Kong can be used as a springboard to invest in China.
"Welcome, welcome!" said Jim Holmes, smiling.
"Are there any preferential policies?"
"Of course, this is a preferential policy for attracting investment in Tai Po Industrial Estate, especially for high-tech companies, the conditions are extremely favorable!
As he spoke, he handed Li Zetian a document listing many preferential conditions.
Li Zetian took it and looked at it carefully for a while, compared with Taiwan's Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, Hong Kong's preferential conditions are much worse. There are no 5-year tax-free, low-interest loans. However, Hong Kong's low taxation and low tax types make it easy to avoid taxes, which is beneficial to Apple in the future. In addition, Hong Kong, as an international metropolis and a world trade port, is extremely beneficial for the spread of the Walkman, and businessmen from all over the world will buy the Walkman Walkman directly from Hong Kong, thus expanding the sales of the Walkman.
Li Zetian nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Is there a ready-made factory?"
"Of course, please let me take a look...... You can tell me which one you like!"
"Good. ”
Li Zetian responded.
As he walked, Jim Holmes introduced: "The Tai Po Industrial Estate has just been developed, and there are many factories that are still idle, so you can pick one and move in immediately. Mr. li, how big do you need it?"
Li Zetian thought for a while, he built this factory, not only to produce Walkman, but also to produce music tapes and headphones, so the scale must not be small.
"Hmm...... I'm probably hiring thousands of workers, and the factory will produce several things, and the total annual output will be at least 10 million!"
When Jim Holmes heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, stumbling while walking, and almost fell.
“Mr· Li, are you sure you want a factory with an annual output of 10 million?" asked Jim Holmes, stunned.
"Yes, what? Can't you do it?" asked Li Zetian lightly.
"It can be done, it can be done !!"
Jim Holmes was excited in his heart, at this moment, he was full of curiosity, thinking, what kind of new work has Apple developed, it actually needs a factory with an annual output of up to 10 million, and why is he so sure that such a product will have sales, once it can't open the market, the loss will be huge!
Li Zetian smiled and said, "Okay, then you can take me to see such a factory." ”
"Okay!"
……
Jim Holmes said that there was a factory with a capacity of tens of millions, but in fact he had a fart, unless he spent money to build it. In the afternoon, Li Zetian walked around the Tai Po Industrial Estate and finally selected three adjacent factories to produce Walkmans, headphones and music tapes.
However, it is also good that the three factories produce and operate independently, and they are also flexible and convenient to manage.
In the following days, Li Zetian negotiated with Jim Holmes to get more favorable terms.
Five days later, when Li Zetian took out the Walkman tape Walkman and showed it to him, the other party finally made a concession, reduced the rent and tax rate by another 10%, and offered a low-interest loan of $5 million at an interest rate of 2.5%, and then signed a factory lease agreement.
"Oh God, this thing is going to be a global !!"
Jim Holmes put on his headphones and was shocked when he heard the song from his Walkman, and then kept his eyes on his Walkman and did not look away for a long time......
