Chapter 51: Unconventional Development

In Lam's view, Hong Kong is more of a fast food paradise than a food paradise.

In the morning, I went to Chen Ji Tea Restaurant to eat fast food for 12 yuan, ate fast food delivered to the company at noon, had afternoon tea at 3 o'clock, and was still fast food in the evening. When you go out for a walk, you can see all kinds of Chinese and Western fast food restaurants and tea restaurants everywhere.

In this international metropolis where fast food becomes culture and culture becomes fast food, it seems that nothing can be separated from a fast word.

The pace of life is fast, the work efficiency is high, on the street and in the subway, you can see people talking on the phone at any time while walking, some people bring newspapers, books and even documents into the restaurant and take them to the car, read the newspaper while sitting in the car or change the documents while eating. There are also many adults who actually like to read comics, and it is said that every year, thousands of men, women and children line up overnight to buy comics at international comic book exhibitions.

Everything is about efficiency and efficiency, than the special zone of "time is money, efficiency is life" has been wrong, the company's headquarters is changing at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye, the second floor was still empty the day before yesterday, the ceiling and floor have been paved yesterday, and today it is separated into an office area with a modern atmosphere with tempered glass.

As an international metropolis, in addition to Chinese and British, Hong Kong also has people from the Philippines, Portugal, the United States, Canada, India, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam and many other countries, and there is about one foreigner in every 30 people.

Therefore, after rounds of interviews, the colleagues around me suddenly became almost unable to remember whose name was from the old faces before. Hong Kongers, Filipinos, Americans, Indians, Koreans, West Germans, and Vietnamese came one after another, and could only communicate with each other in English and gestures, a whole small United Nations.

The highest monthly salary is 46,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the lowest is more than 9,000 Hong Kong dollars. Those orders in hand and the profits that those orders may generate can only barely maintain the operation of the Xiangjiang Company, and the rest, let alone pay salaries to these people in the headquarters, I am afraid that it is not enough to even pay rent.

The chairman and the articles of association still went their own way, and even raised her salary from the previous 520 yuan to 19,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Today, I bought a box truck and an American Dodge bullet commercial car, and the "car first registration tax" alone is as high as 280,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then I have to pay the "license registration fee" (according to the cylinder capacity to pay tens of thousands to tens of thousands of dollars per year), parking fees, fuel fees, roads, bridges and tunnel fees...... Each of these is a lot of money.

I've seen losers, but I've never seen losers like them!

Lin Huixian couldn't stand it anymore, for the sake of her own job and the future of her good sister Zhang Hui, she hurriedly ran to the chairman's temporary office on the first floor, and said angrily: "Chairman, articles of association, although the board of supervisors of the company has not yet been established, as a veteran of the company, I am qualified to ask you a question!" ”

Liu Siwei was happy, put down the phone and said with a smile: "Of course, Miss Lin, you just ask." ”

"Even I, who is not engaged in finance, know what it means to live within your means, you two are recruiting, buying cars, and decorating, where does the money come from? You don't think about Sister Hui and Jiahui, I still have to think about them! I don't want that foreign subsidy, and I still get five hundred and two as before. ”

Lin Huixian said righteously, and her angry look was very cute.

With so many people outside watching, the charter pulled down the blinds and motioned for her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, the company's financial situation is not as bad as you think, but it involves trade secrets, and I haven't explained it to you specifically." ”

"I can keep it a secret." Lin Huixian looked like Jiashi who didn't explain to me that I wasn't leaving, pouting and glaring at the two of them.

Even if she is an art person, Guo Junru, Chen Hao and Wang Bingcun must also think that the charter and the eldest brother-in-law looked at each other, and simply opened the glass door and asked the clerk to inform them to have a meeting with a few people from the mainland, and at the same time unify their thoughts, and arrange the future work by the way.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ With the commissioning of the mainland factory, the company has entered an unconventional stage of development, the so-called unconventional development, one is internationalization, fully in line with international standards. Everyone has watched Hong Kong films these days, even the boss of the community knows that it is enterprise-oriented and internationalized, and as an enterprise whose products are almost all exported to us, we do not wait for the business to come to the door, and we must use all the resources we can use to quickly promote our products.

The three series of switch and socket panels are our current fist products, and they are also the stepping stones for us to open the door to the international market. However, we should be clear that our advantage is only temporary, maybe it will not be long before the opponent will come up with a better design, so we must play fast, before they have fully reacted, to establish our international sales network with lightning speed, and then use this network to promote the next only price advantage of contactors, relays and circuit breakers and other industrial electrical products. ”

As the charter says, the switch and socket panel is designed to win, and there is no jishu content.

Although a patent has been applied, the shape design patent is very different from the utility invention patent, one is that it is easy to be bypassed, especially in the United States, where the shape patent protection is not so strict, as long as a small modification is made, competitors can apply for a new patent in a grand manner. The second is that it is easy to rip off in law, and people will fight a protracted lawsuit with you, even if it is delayed, your patent can be delayed.

This has long been agreed by everyone, including Lin Huixian, so the new switch panel is being designed, from the shape to the internal structure, which is completely different from the previous one, to ensure that a new product can be launched every quarter.

Looking at the look of everyone's deep understanding, the charter continued: "So many countries run down, we need a lot of promotion expenses, and when we make enough money, the daylily will be cold, so the unconventional development is financially reflected in debt management." You may not know that the total fixed assets of Heung Kong Company are nearly 13 million RMB, which has also been confirmed by the representative office of HSBC Bank in Hong Kong.

Yesterday morning, HSBC granted a one-time credit of HK$10 million based on the relevant materials we provided! With a credit line of 10 million, we can flexibly apply for loans, open letters of credit, export bills, letters of guarantee, and acceptance bills, so it can be said that the company's cash flow has no problems, and our debt ratio is also low compared with our peers. ”

In fact, Guo Junru and Shen Xinru are only interested in Jishu, and they don't care about financial matters at all.

The comrades-in-arms in the same trench were indifferent, Lin Huixian was anxious, and said: "Anyway, the 10 million is also borrowed, not only will it be repaid in the future, but it will also be paid to the bank interest, and what should be spent will be spent, and what should be spent in the province will also be saved, Hong Kong's transportation is so developed, there is a bus when you go out, and there is a subway far away, and Weishenme has to spend so much money to buy a car, one or two!" ”

It is good for employees to give their opinions to the company, which shows that they have a sense of belonging and even responsibility to the company.

"This car, I'll explain."

Liu Siwei was too late to be happy, how could he be angry because of these, so he smiled and said: "Like the business center of Xiangjiang Company, we must do the business at the door of Hong Kong, and we must do it well." After the product is officially put on the shelves, it needs to be replenished from one shopping mall to another, one agent to another, and no truck is inconvenient. In addition, half of our raw materials need to be imported from Taiwan, and the truck can be picked up from the terminal and sent directly to the Xiangjiang factory by applying for a Hong Kong and Macao license plate in the mainland, without having to go to a logistics company as before.

Of course, a series of procedures such as re-export and entry still have to be followed, so we hired two professionals with rich experience in customs clearance at a high salary. In short, neither cars nor people will be idle, and while providing services for the electrical division, they must also provide services for the procurement of electronic components for the electronics division.

As for the newly purchased commercial vehicles, the first is that our previous Toyota has a black license plate in the mainland, which can only be used in the mainland and cannot be driven to Hong Kong. And everyone, including you and me, will inevitably have to run back and forth between Hong Kong and Hong Kong in the future, plus possible customer inspections, so it is very necessary to buy a business vehicle with a Hong Kong and Macao license plate that can freely enter and exit the two places. ”

Thinking that the newly recruited colleague would visit the Xiangjiang factory tomorrow, Lin Huixian reluctantly nodded.

In addition to the former office area, which will be converted into a living area, the third floor of the building is completely separated from the factory building as a laboratory of the Hong Kong R&D Center.

Shiyan instruments and computers worth more than two million Hong Kong dollars had just been delivered in the morning, Guo Junru and Shen Xinru had the heart to listen to what they said, and got up impatiently and said, "Sister Lin, just do your own thing, anyway, I don't have time to accompany you to coax." Chairman and Charter, you are busy, and we will go up to work first. In addition, I ate quite much at noon, don't let the kid who sent afternoon tea bother me again, and it's best that you don't go either. ”

"Okay, okay, you have the final say in the laboratory, but you can't leave yet."

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€ In NB Electric, the person who engages in jishu is a cow, and even Shen Xinru dares to frown at the chairman.

Liu Siwei took out a document from the drawer and said with an embarrassed face: "The entry and exit management of the mainland is too strict, and it is also very inconvenient for the mainland passport to be abroad. For the sake of the company's development, we would like to ask for your opinions on the passport. ”

This is a Panamanian investment immigration information, deposit 50,000 US dollars in the National Bank of Panama for a fixed period of five years, with an interest rate of 5.25%, you can obtain a Panamanian economic citizen passport, and the whole procedure is very simple. Applicants are not required to take an English test during the application process, provide additional proof of assets, and do not need to be in Panama as an "immigration jailer".

What's more attractive is that after a successful application, you can get Panamanian citizenship in one step, and you can get visa-free to more than 20 countries, including the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

Although the country is open, it is quite difficult for ordinary people to go abroad!

First of all, the government is very strict about those who go abroad. Those who leave the country for official purposes will be strictly examined and approved by the foreign affairs department, and then the relevant formalities will be handled by the exit and entry administration department. For those who leave the country for private purposes, the unit should also write a report and report it to the public security bureau and the municipal public security bureau for approval, and the exit-entry administration department should examine whether all kinds of information are true.

After passing the immigration clearance, you still have to go to the visa. Sometimes the immigration department gives a "green light" to apply for a passport, but the other party does not have a visa. Therefore, after such a long period of reform and opening up, very few people have gone abroad for private purposes.

In addition, no matter which country you go to, you have to detour to Hong Kong first, and there is a limit on the number of places to come to Hong Kong, there are many applicants, and the allocated places are small, and the vast majority of people have to wait for more than a year to apply, and sometimes they can't be approved after waiting for more than a year.

If it weren't for the company's series of certificates of going abroad for business, and if it weren't for the help of the leaders of the government of the Gahu District to find the Provincial Public Security Department, everyone, including Zhang Hui, would not have wanted to come to Hong Kong so soon, let alone be allowed to work in Hong Kong by the British government.

Running again and again, Guo Junru had enough of it, glanced at the information, and said casually: "Chairman, you can do these things, as long as you don't let me pay for it, you can do anything." ”

Chen Hao was ecstatic, grabbed the information and asked excitedly: "Chairman, does this mean that the company helps us immigration?" ”

"Yes," Liu Siwei confirmed with a serious face: "All the expenses are paid by the company, Panama is just a springboard, you are all highly educated talents, and you can immigrate to Hong Kong in the future." ”
