Chapter 103: Seize the opportunity to make money
Li Huawen took a sip of tea, and then turned to Li Yisong and said, "Abba, you and Grandma, are you okay?" β
"Okay." Li Yisong smiled, "Sheng Quan is about to return to Hong Kong, right?" β
"He could have gone back to Hong Kong, but he wanted to wait for Shenghua to have a summer vacation and then go back to Hong Kong together."
"And what is he doing in London?" Li Yisong asked.
"He and his girlfriend are traveling in Europe."
"Girlfriend?" Li Yisong showed some smile on his face, "It can't be a foreign woman, right?" β
"It's not a foreign woman, it's Chinese, and Shenghua is a high school classmate."
"That girl also went to study in London." Li Hualong asked curiously, he remembered that when Li Shengquan first went to London to study, he was alone and not accompanied by a girl.
"Nope. The girl was studying at the University of Hong Kong. As soon as I finished my dissertation defense, I went to London to meet Sheng Hua. Li Huawen replied.
"Have you seen that girl?" Li Yisong asked.
"I haven't seen it, Liyun has seen it." Li Huawen replied.
Zhou Liyun took over the topic and said: "That girl is very beautiful, I have had a meal with her, I like it a lot." β
"As long as my sister-in-law likes it, Sheng Quan's vision will not be bad." Li Hualong said with a smile.
"When Sheng Quan returns to Hong Kong, I can't let him play anymore, arrange for him to work in Jiu'an Company, start from the bottom, and be my assistant next year."
"Big brother, don't be too demanding, such an excellent child, you should be proud of him!" Li Hualong smiled and said, "Oxford University is not a pheasant university, Sheng Quan can get a scholarship every year, which shows that he is really good!" β
'He's very good, but I want him to keep improving and be more playful. He graduated from college and went out into society, and there are many things to face in the future, and if he has good academic performance, he may not be able to do a good job. β
"I still don't think it's too much pressure on my child. If you think about it, after he is five years old, he can't have fun and has to study every day. Elementary school, middle school, university, all these years, he has been studying. Finally, he graduated from college, and your expectations for him are so good......"
"Stop." Li Huawen interrupted, "Everyone doesn't come over like this. He can't let him play for a few years before he goes to work. Besides, I didn't ask him to have any kind of appearance, as long as he was at work, he put his mind on work, and as for getting off work, as long as he didn't play too much, I didn't bother to care about him! β
"Being a parent has mixed feelings." Li Hualong nodded with a smile, diverted the topic and asked, "Have you been busy lately?" β
"It's still the same, six days a week and one day off."
"You're working harder than I am."
"I also want to take my burden off my shoulders, enjoy my life, and stay at home every day to rest, but there are so many things to do. Aaron, I have to admire you, you are too accurate to see people. At the beginning, when you asked me Bao Yunshan, I should have rejected you, let go of such a talent, and make 10 million less than that, which made me feel distressed. β
"Or, I'll give you back Brother Bao, and you give me 10 million?" Li Hualong joked.
Li Huawen looked at Li Hualong with a smile and said, "If you agree, I have no problem." β
"Just kidding." Li Hualong smiled brightly, "Brother Bao is not an item, and he can't be let go." Besides, he works very happily at Carrefour, and I have to worry a lot without him helping me manage Carrefour. β
"Bao Yunshan's ability is first-class, and most importantly, his sense of responsibility, he helps you manage Carrefour, and he treats Carrefour as his own business. I have a lot of people under me, and I don't think I'm treating them badly, but there are some things that I have to keep an eye on myself...... Aaron, do you think I'm not easy to trust people? β
"I think you're okay in this regard. My company has complete management rules and regulations, and the general manager of the company has great rights, but they know very well in their hearts that many things cannot be done, and one thing must be done within the framework of the system. β
"Sheng Quan told me about this, I told him, wait for him to work for a period of time, understand the company's situation, and then formulate management rules and regulations."
After a few small talks, Li Huawen turned the topic to drought.
In the past few months, Hong Kong has been experiencing a persistent drought and water shortage.
Li Huawen asked: "The day after tomorrow, a group of monks and believers will hold a rain prayer ceremony at Happy Valley Racecourse, do you know?" β
Li Hualong nodded slightly and said, "I know, many newspapers have published this news." β
Li Huawen sighed lightly: "In modern society, people are still so superstitious. It is useless to ask for rain, it is better to raise money to help some people solve the draft problem. β
"It's not superstition, it's religious. Even if you don't believe, you can't object to someone else's faith. β
"I don't mean to object." Li Huawen smiled and looked at Li Hualong a few times, "You don't have any religious beliefs, right?" β
Li Hualong smiled noncommittally, changed the topic and said: "Have you heard that the government may want to restrict water supply." β
"When I heard about it, I thought it would definitely restrict the water supply. Now that it's so dry, if we don't restrict the water supply, we could be in even bigger trouble. By the way, I remember a few years ago, a friend of Abba's was short of money and wanted him to take a stake in a plastic products company. β
"It's not bad, the annual dividend is much higher than the interest on bank deposits."
"What is the name of that company, I remember that the plastic products produced by that company are named after the 'Red A' brand."
"Starlight Industries."
"Starlight Industrial, that's a good name. Hehe, if the government restricts the supply of water, then the plastic buckets produced by this company will definitely sell well. β
"That's right. Or do you have a vision! Li Hualong said and stood up, "I'll call Lao Liang and ask him to produce more plastic buckets in the next few days, maybe I can take this opportunity to make some money." β
"It's definitely an opportunity to make money." Zhou Liyun smiled, "Aaron, limit the water supply, in addition to plastic buckets, there are many products that will sell well, and Xingguang Industrial Company can try to develop and produce new products." β
Li Hualong was slightly stunned, looked at his sister-in-law with a smile, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what is the best thing to build, although I will listen to it." β
"Even if there is a shortage of water, the weather in Hong Kong is so hot, it is impossible not to take a bath for a long time, and the shower will definitely sell well."
"Makes sense." Li Hualong nodded with a smile, "Is there anything else?" β
"The common plastic bucket is the water bucket, this kind of bucket is not good for long-term water storage, and it can produce professional water storage buckets with lids."
"Water bucket, this thing is good. What else? β
"Nope." Zhou Liyun smiled, "If you tell the people of SΓΉ Starlight Industrial Company that you are going to limit the water, maybe they will come up with more ways to make money." β
"Yes. I'll make a phone call first. β
In addition to producing more buckets and buckets to the manager of Xingguang Industrial Company, as well as developing and producing shower showers, Li Hualong also placed orders with this company to purchase a large number of buckets and buckets, after all, he owns Carrefour supermarket and 7-Eleven convenience store, if these two products sell well, not only can make money, but also earn popularity.
In the days that followed, Starlight Industrial began working overtime to produce buckets and buckets.
A few days later, on June 1, the Hong Kong government announced that it would implement an order to supply water every four days.
The restriction of water supply is great news for Xingguang Industrial Company, which seized the opportunity to make money a few days ago, under the advice of the company's director, Li Hualong, who rushed to make more than 200,000 buckets overnight and stored them in warehouses.
Xingguang Industrial Company did not have enough warehouses to store these items, so it could only be temporarily stored in the warehouses of Li Hualong's company.
Following the announcement of the water supply restrictions, the Hong Kong market saw a surge in buckets, and the "Red A" brand buckets and storage buckets with sufficient stock were very popular, and their market share increased significantly.
In just over half a month, Starlight Industrial's revenue exceeded last year's annual revenue.
By mid-June, in response to the Hong Kong government's "water conservation" campaign, Starlight Industrial Company launched 6-gallon water storage buckets, shower showers and other products.
For a time, "Red A" became a well-known brand in Hong Kong, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Xingguang Industrial Company entered the road of rapid development.
