"Master, since you like it so much, this jade box is yours." Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Huh? No way? I can't ask for something so valuable. Lin Guorong subconsciously chose to refuse.

"I originally went to Rong Bao Zhai to pick out a gift for you. I happened to come across this jade box, and it was perfect as a gift. Don't be polite to me. Liu Tao said with a smile. In his eyes, even ten jade boxes can't compare to his master-apprentice friendship with Lin Guorong.

You must know that Lin Guorong has never accepted an apprentice in his life, and he only has one apprentice in his life, Liu Tao. The friendship between master and apprentice is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.

In fact, now Liu Tao has no benefit from Lin Guorong. Whether it is connections or money, Liu Tao is no longer what it used to be.

But he knows how to drink water and think about the source.

Lin Guorong is very clear about what he treats. Therefore, no matter what he becomes, even if he is rich and dominates the world, he will be respectful to his master.

"You've already given me several rare treasures. I'm embarrassed myself. Although you are my apprentice, I don't have much ability to teach you. Lin Guorong said with some embarrassment.

"Master, don't say that. I've learned a lot from you. This jade box made by Ouyang Buping is said to have special effects. If you have the time, you can try it out. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"You're talking about saving severed fingers or something?" Lin Guorong asked.

"Yes. It is rumored that the severed finger is kept inside the zài jade box, and it will not rot for half a year. Liu Tao nodded and said.

"If it's used to preserve something else, it probably has a freshness effect. It's a pity that the jade box is too small, and the things that can be preserved are really limited. Lin Guorong said regretfully.

"This jade box was originally intended to put a pair of jade hands." Liu Tao smiled slightly and said.

"It is said that Qin Shi Huang had a very favored woman, and this woman gave birth to a pair of flawless jade hands. The original intention of this jade box was to put those jade hands. It's just that now the jade box is still there, and the jade hand is gone. Lin Guorong said.

"It's a pity that such a precious box is used to preserve a pair of jade hands. Those jade hands may have been thrown away. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"I'll put this jade box with the water painting. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to hold another small exhibition. Such a beautiful thing should be seen by more people. Lin Guorong said.

"No problem. I'll find a way to collect some more treasures and put them on display. Liu Tao said.

"Ah Tao, your luck is so good. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have seen so many rare treasures. We have been in China for 5,000 years, and there are countless rare treasures. If it weren't for the Eight-Nation Alliance's entry into the capital to burn, kill and loot, so many cultural relics would not have spread overseas. Lin Guorong said this, gloomy.

"What was lost will come back eventually." Liu Tao comforted.

"It's easier said than done. Although many wealthy people with patriotic hearts are now trying to buy back those lost cultural relics from abroad. But it's just a drop in the ocean. I am afraid that the real precious cultural relics cannot be bought back with money. Because people don't sell it at all. Lin Guorong said.

"They don't sell because they don't lack money and don't go hungry. When you get hungry, you will naturally sell it. Liu Tao smiled slightly and said.

"You're telling the truth. When the people are not happy, no matter how precious the antiques are, they are not as good as a meal. Lin Guorong said with a smile.

"Master, you put things away first. We'll eat later. Liu Tao said.

"Yes." Lin Guorong nodded and put his things away.

By the time Lin Guorong put away his things, the maid at home had already prepared the meal.

Lin Guorong beckoned Liu Tao to take a seat.

The master and apprentice talked and laughed while eating and chatting.

During the meal, Liu Tao roughly talked about the process of buying the jade box and the process of being robbed.

Lin Guorong, who listened, frowned again and again.

If those robbers hadn't encountered Liu Tao today, they might have succeeded. After all, the value of this jade box is too high, and it is more cost-effective than rushing to transport money.

When the time comes, it will be shipped directly abroad, and there will be a buyer bid right away. Even if it is sold for 200 million, there is no worry about food and clothing in this life.

After eating, Liu Tao stayed at Lin's house for one night, and he returned to Binjiang early the next morning.

The foundries are all ready, and the workers are all on duty. It will be officially put into production today.

Some of the products produced are stored in warehouses and some are shipped abroad.

This order from Yali Company alone can bring more than one billion profits to the foundry.

However, it is clear that the term of this order will not be too long. In other words, the first order can be completed in about a week. Even if there are follow-up orders, it will not last more than a month.

If there are no other orders, the foundry will have to stop work after a month.

To establish this foundry, Liu Tao spent almost 3 billion. If you stop work after only making more than a billion yuan, won't you even be able to recover the capital?

So the order problem has to be solved.

You must know that the boss of the foundry is still Longteng Group. As a leading enterprise in Huaxia Guofoundry, Longteng Group employs millions of employees.

If Longteng Group goes bankrupt, it means that millions of people face unemployment.

Such groups must be protected both nationally and locally.

Longteng Group has also established a production base in Binjiang City not long ago. It has carried out various OEM projects and employed more than 100,000 people.

If Liu Tao wants to show his strength in the OEM industry, he must compete directly with the other party.

In this regard, Liu Tao has nothing to fear.

You must know that Yali Company's mobile phone OEM business has been handed over to its own foundry, and the remaining tablets and computers will be transferred one after another.

Needless to say, the OEM project of the Star Group. As long as he opened his mouth, Lee Ming-che would definitely agree unconditionally.

The world's top two mobile phone manufacturers have become customers of the foundry, and for the foundry, a basic income has been guaranteed.

Other handset manufacturers will also need time to become their own OEM customers.

If you can monopolize the foundry of the top three mobile phone brands in China and China, then 60,000 employees will definitely not be enough. 600,000 is about the same.

If 600,000 people are all gathered in Garden Town, it is indeed a big challenge for Garden Town.

A large amount of arable land will be converted into industrial and commercial land. For those farmers, although they can live a better life than farming through guò compensation, some elderly people still can't let go of their own acres of land.

The importance of land to farmers is not just that they can harvest food in exchange for money.

Land is the foundation on which the peasants stand on their feet.

For farmers, even if the efficiency of the factory is not good, there is still food to eat when farming. At least you won't starve to death.

Sometimes money doesn't necessarily buy food.

Especially for the elderly who have experienced a food crisis, their understanding of hunger is even more incomprehensible to ordinary people.

It seems that not all projects can be placed in Garden Town. For other townships, it is more or less necessary to help.

After all, Binjiang City is a whole.

For Garden Town, there is no need to bear that much pressure.

Due to the lack of manpower in the management personnel of the foundry, Fang Baichuan and others stayed here to help for the time being.

In order to improve the enthusiasm of employees, Liu Tao asked the people in the finance department to pay salaries not on a monthly basis, but on a weekly basis. In this way, everyone can see the money in the shortest possible time, and they are naturally full of energy.

The factory also uses a piece rate model.

This model has not appeared for a long time, mainly after foreign enterprises came to Huaxia, and this model of water and soil disobedience appeared in large numbers.

The reason for this is the inertia of the Chinese people. If an old employee stays in the factory for too long, he will either become a model worker or become an oilman.

Youzi is the kind of employee who cheats and cheats.

If model workers and oilseeds can get the same salary, it is obvious that except for state-owned enterprises, no other enterprise can afford such production costs.

It's also unfair to employees.

It's right to work more and get more.

If a person does the work of two people and only gets one person's salary, then his motivation is definitely not high.

The piecework model allows a person to give full play to their own subjective initiative.

Liu Tao also thought about abandoning this piecework model and letting employees work according to their own free will. However, his idea was opposed by everyone.

Before the employees have reached the suzhì, if they follow their free will, then many employees will become lazy.

Lazy people are undoubtedly in great danger to the company.

That's why everyone disagrees.

He had no choice but to give up. When the time comes, he will apply his ideas again.

The factory had just been built, and the telephone poles outside were already plastered with all sorts of advertisements. A lot of them are buying parts of mobile phones.

If these parts are obtained by others, then others can quickly imitate similar ones, but the price is much cheaper.

Innovation and R&D are a very large expense for companies. If others can easily imitate and save a lot of research and development costs, they can naturally quickly occupy the market.

This is also the reason why many companies have to apply for patents for their products.

However, Huaxia's economy as a whole is still in its infancy, so the cost of innovation is too high for some companies.

Copycats are a good way to circumvent the problem of high costs.

But for those companies that develop R&D, copycat products shake the company's R&D nature. If a company doesn't innovate, doesn't R&D, and just wants to make quick money, then it's not a good thing for society as a whole.

It is precisely because of this that there are few great companies in Huaxia.

Most of the Fortune 500 companies in China are monopolistic enterprises. The entry of giants such as banks, telecommunications and oil companies into the world's top 500 really makes the Chinese people have no sense of pride.

You must know that China has a population of 1.3 billion. Even if a person spends ten dollars on communications, it is 13 billion. Not to mention, ten dollars is not enough at all.

But fortunately, there is still a respectable high-tech company in Huaxia.

That company is Warwick.

This company, which is based on wolf culture, has developed rapidly in the high-tech field and has repeatedly defeated foreign technology giants.

Such a company is worthy of respect.

Liu Tao once thought about buying such a company, but because the company's shares were too scattered. It is impossible to want a wholly-owned acquisition.

What's more, the current Warwick company has a good cash flow and is not short of money at all. Whether it is an acquisition or financing, it is not necessary.

Thinking of this, Liu Tao felt a little regretful.

After wandering around the foundry for a while, Liu Tao drove away.

Delivery is less than five days away. Once the products are produced, they are shipped to the ports of the island cities and then shipped by sea to the countries where they are ready to be sold.

The importance of these products is undeniable. If a batch is snatched away, the losses are huge.

To this end, a large number of security personnel must be dispatched at all links to ensure the safety of these products.

After the press conference, the major sales locations of Yali mobile phones will show a very hot trend.

Consumers spend seven or eight thousand yuan to buy a mobile phone, and after deducting various costs, Yali Company can eventually make a profit ranging from four thousand to five thousand.

Twenty percent of these profits belong to Liu Tao.

But for Liu Tao, 20 percent is obviously not enough.

His ideal state is to hold at least 80 percent.

However, now that Yali Company is so profitable, other shareholders are bound to be reluctant to sell their shares. If you want them to sell their shares, you naturally have to use some means.

However, most of the shareholders of Yali Company are in country M, so it may not be easy for Liu Tao to deal with these people.

There has to be a spokesperson to do this.

Obviously, this spokesperson has to have considerable influence in country M.

Eventually, he set his sights on Eros.

You must know that Eros is an investment predator, and he has a lot of money in his hands. Many of these funds are obtained through guò funds.

If Eros had invested, no one would have doubted it.

As long as he channeled a large amount of money into Eros's investment company, Eros could use the funds to do more.

These include finding ways to acquire shares in the hands of other shareholders of Yali Company.

He was confident that Eros would not let him down.

Anyway, he has to go to country M in a few days, and then talk to the other party in detail.

From foundries to car manufacturing companies to plantation areas, from plantation areas to future investment companies to homes.

Liu Tao's itinerary in the past few days has been tossing back and forth in these places.

It wasn't until the day before the start of the World Cup that he would leave for the capital to meet the players. (To be continued.) )
