Chapter 353, Three Things

When Alex and the others were in civil strife, Zhou Jimin was in retreat to engage in scientific research.

The underground New World project was rejected, and he could only divert his attention and concentrate on scientific research.

Busy business empire to make a lot of money, that's just the spice of daily life.

In the conference room of the Oasis New Town, Satellite Research Institute, a meeting is underway.

"This year will soon pass, and next year, we will start preparing for the astronauts to land in space.......

Hearing Zhou Jimin's words, everyone attending the meeting became excited.

In the past six or seven years, many satellites have been launched, and their institute has a lot of experience in satellite launches.

According to Zhou Jimin, next year will be another year of preparation, and the launch of manned space flight will be arranged the year after next.

In other words, next year will be the starting year of the manned space program, and the year after will be the first year of manned spaceflight.

The four words manned space flight have a great attraction for everyone.

In 1961, Gagarin, the polar bear's cosmonaut, had been in space for more than an hour.

Later, Bald Eagle also sent its own astronauts into space one after another.

Zeng Qingfeng: They also hope to build a manned satellite or spacecraft to travel in space.

It's just that the difficulty coefficient of ordinary satellite rockets is already so high, and manned spaceflight will only be higher.

"Regarding this manned space project, our Oasis New City has obtained the approval of the leaders above, and I will be the chief engineer of the entire project, with Zeng Qingfeng, Tang Ping, Mei Lijun, Lin Guochuan, Xu Lei, Fox, Philip, Lu Yun, and Yu Dongqing as the deputy chief engineers.......

Hearing Zhou Jimin's appointment of the project leader, everyone subconsciously sat up straight.

Tang Ping, Mei Lijun, and Lin Guochuan are not from Oasis New Town, but leaders who have just joined this manned space project.

They don't interfere with the research of the project, but take care of the logistics.

"Starting next year, we will start building five unmanned test spacecraft to prepare for manned space flight in the year after......

Everyone who participated in the meeting took notes and listened carefully.

The five test spaceships surprised Tang Ping and his leaders, but they were not professionals, so they didn't say anything.

Zeng Qingfeng and the others didn't speak, because they admired Zhou Jimin very much, and everything he set was correct.

Anyway, since the establishment of Oasis New Town, there has never been a mistake, not even once.

The second half of the meeting was devoted to the construction of experimental spacecraft, rocket launches, and related test tasks.

In fact, the entire manned space program has been clearly written in the previous plan project book, which includes a detailed report on the test spacecraft in the first project phase.

What is being discussed now is only a supplement to the report.

The whole meeting lasted for a week, because there was a lot of data to be calculated, and there were also technical discussions, etc., which was quite complicated.

Even with Zhou Jimin, the general person in charge, he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

Fortunately, after the meeting, the other nine leaders had a clear understanding of what they were responsible for, and the next step was to start moving forward with the project according to the plan.

Zhou Jimin, who got a break, went to the southern island for a vacation as soon as possible.

He didn't deal with the things on the Bald Eagle's side, and he wasn't in a hurry to deal with them.

The game console factory on this side of the island is still working overtime, and a lot of game consoles are produced every day, and then transported away by Xinghai Trading Company every week.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Tesco, Costco, game companies, etc., after all, this is a very important transportation task, and it is also quite profitable, so it is naturally impossible to fake it.

A game console with 3,666 US dollars costs only more than 900 US dollars, and the profit is not high.

The same is true for PHS mobile phones, and the sales data of PHS mobile phones are even more gratifying.

Therefore, Xinghai Trading Company transports all money, which is the lifeline of these companies.

In the future, when the business territory is getting bigger and bigger, the importance of Xinghai Trading Company will be more obvious.

In the interval between vacations, I checked the operations of game factories, Apple Daily, Qihang Publishing House and other companies, and Zhou Jimin didn't feel very busy.

Tossing business and retreating scientific research are two different things.

In business, in fact, it is not too complicated, after all, he has always been a dimensionality reduction attack, and it is actually very difficult for competitors to surpass him.

Again, I only need to make a slight move, which is the limit of this segment.

Prince Building, on this day, Zhou Jimin came here.

The advisory group is based here, as are several investment departments.

"Call all the people in charge and have a meeting."

Zhou Jimin walked around the office and shouted directly.

Xu Mei and Guan Ling, who were behind them, also walked into the conference room.

"I'm here today, just three things, what's going on at the First Toy Factory?"

In fact, as early as the establishment of Qihang Publishing House, comic company, and music company, Zhou Jimin thought about whether to set up a toy factory to sell peripheral toys.

After all, many characters in the comic company, out of toys and dolls and other peripherals, are definitely the most profitable.

What kind of Transformers or something, comics are already so good-looking, wouldn't toy dolls be even better?

If it is a peripheral product like this, the market is absolutely hot.

It's just that at that time, Zhou Jimin didn't have much energy.

Moreover, at that time, Oasis New Town did not need to burn so much money, and the small town at that time was still under secrecy, so there was no need to toss.

It's different now, but it's not much of a problem to toss around.

There are many toy factories on the southern island, although they are all very low-end toy factories, but it doesn't matter, as long as the factory location is good and the workers' skills are not bad, Zhou Jimin will not let it go.

Direct acquisition will save a lot of things.

Ji Zhengxiong, the head of the advisory group, hurriedly said:

"BOSS, we have collected five toy factories that meet the requirements, these are the details, and I am preparing to give you the purpose.......

Zhou Jimin took the information and opened it, and Ji Zhengxiong's voice also echoed in the conference room.

There are five toy factories, two of which are in the Sha Tin area, one in Kowloon and the remaining two in Tsuen Wan.

It's not a particularly good location, but it's already good.

"The three companies in Tsuen Wan and Sha Tin were acquired, and after the acquisition, the two companies in Tsuen Wan were merged together, and then the surrounding land was bought and expanded......

The information was thrown on the table, and Zhou Jimin said: "The two families in Sha Tin demolished him, asked someone to design it, and rebuilt a building, which will be the headquarters of game consoles and toy factories at that time......

In the future, my favorite thing to engage in is the headquarters building, which is a trend.

What's more, the establishment of the headquarters building is indeed conducive to management.

After thinking about it, he then asked:

"How many of the game factory workers own houses? How many people are renting?"

This question directly confused Ji Zhengxiong, and the other members of the advisory group were also sluggish.

Seeing that no one answered the question, Zhou Jimin's face turned cold and said:

"Why are you dumb? Aren't you usually screaming and claiming to be very good? I don't even know what happens to the workers in my property, is that how you manage it?"

The temperature in the conference room plummeted to freezing, and everyone was afraid to take a breather.

Even Xu Mei and Guan Ling were sitting in danger, and they were actually very surprised: Could it be that Jimin is using the topic to play?

In their view, Zhou Jimin's move should have a deeper intention, not just to establish majesty.

At this time, in the corner of the conference room, a beautiful girl who looked quite young suddenly raised her hand and said weakly:

"Boss, I know that the game factory has 1,368 people, including 17 in management.......

"Excluding the administration, personnel, finance, and other departments, there are 1,320 real workers, of whom 228 have houses, 367 live outside, and 725 are rented in the staff dormitories that were originally left......

"Boss, this is the information I learned, but this is the information of the day before yesterday, I don't know if there has been any change now."

Smack!

Zhou Jimin smiled and applauded, which immediately made the beautiful girl blush.

In the conference room, Ji Zhengxiong and the others all applauded, and cold sweat was dripping behind them.

Fortunately, thanks to this HKU graduate Yang Siqi today, otherwise, the advisory group would have lost face.

"What's your name?" Where did you graduate? Who brought you in?"

After it quieted down, Zhou Jimin asked with a smile, and Yang Siqi hurriedly answered.

It was Guan Ling who recruited her, mainly because Yang Siqi's diploma is very good, and her ability is also very good, which is worth cultivating.

"Yes, very good." Zhou Jimin nodded, and continued:

"From now on, you will be promoted to Employee Care Consultant, and your main responsibility will be to manage the logistics of all employees for me, so that they can work hard without worries......

The four words of employee care are actually very common in many large groups in later generations.

This embodies the connotation of a large group company, and the implementation of corporate culture has a very great help to enterprise management.

Yang Siqi was dumbfounded, although she was promoted, she felt that she couldn't do it, because she hadn't done it or heard of it.

Ji Zhengxiong They didn't feel anything, it was normal to be promoted, after all, the boss thinks you can, then you can.

"Thank you, boss, I'll do my job." Yang Siqi gritted his teeth and said seriously.

Zhou Jimin nodded appreciatively, and then said:

"Next, I will continue to buy land in Tsuen Wan, and the land is not expensive now........

The property market on this side of the southern island will experience a shock every five years.

In the spring of 1965, a bank credit crisis broke out on the island, followed by a collapse in real estate prices, the collapse of many real estate companies, and the first major crisis of the post-war period.

The revival of the property market will not slowly recover until 69 years later.

Therefore, it is very cheap to purchase land at this time, whether it is industrial land or commercial land.

Not to mention Tsuen Wan, which is far away from the city, is even cheaper.

In fact, the opening of toy factories in these places is itself a signal.

Because the toy factory in this period was not very profitable, it could only build factories in places where land was cheap.

It's just that Yang Siqi listened with a strange face, and now the land on the island is not expensive?

Well, it seems to her that it is very expensive.

There are not many places in the world where land is more expensive than a small island.

Yang Siqi has been to places such as Great Britain and Bald Eagle and found that their factories are built in the suburbs, and the price of land is also very cheap.

She is a HKU graduate, but not a nerd.

On the contrary, she loves to observe, and she also likes to take notes and make comparisons.

Because she grew up in a poor family, she likes to delve into these.

It's just that her parents don't want her to do business, so they obediently go to work in a large company or work as a lawyer, doctor, etc.

After all, the island of the sixties is actually true

It's a mess.

"Okay, boss, I'll follow up on this......

Ji Zhengxiong nodded and said, while Zhou Jimin pointed at Yang Siqi and said, "You have to learn more from other little girls, I don't know if you ask three questions, how can you reassure me?"

The former suddenly bowed his head with guilt on his face and admitted his mistake, and his back was already soaked.

And Yang Siqi was terrified, and his mouth was humble.

After beating Ji Zhengxiong a bit, Zhou Jimin continued:

"The second thing, is there any result on Yonggao's side?"

Yonggao Company is a bald eagle company, it has nothing to say, Zhou Jimin is interested in a property held by this company.

The property is the Hilton Tower, located at the junction of Garden Road and Queen's Road Central, near HSBC.

Who doesn't want such a treasure of feng shui?

And some things that happened on the island this year have caused many foreign investors to leave the island, which is simply a godsend.

Therefore, Zhou Jimin made a move when he saw the opportunity, but it was not so easy to win this property.

"Boss, the price offered to us by Yonggao Company is 50 million US dollars, but in fact it is not worth the price......

Ji Zhengxiong's words made Zhou Jimin speechless.

However, the former is not wrong.

Yonggao's quotation is indeed inflated, higher than the market price.

This is also normal, who let the property of this building be in the heart of Central, this place is a super feng shui treasure.

In later generations, many people were rumored that Li Ka-shing, who chose this address as the headquarters building of Cheung Kong Industrial, believed in feng shui very much, so he invited his royal feng shui master to lead the feng shui design of the building.

It is these feng shui designs that make the Li family's wealth last for a long time.

Regarding these feng shui things, Zhou Jimin doesn't believe much about them, and can only say that those people's ability to make up nonsense is not low.

If Feng Shui treasure land really worked, then his second son would not have been ridiculed thousands of times for investing in Tencent.

Almost many investment masters especially like to use the matter of Li Ergongzi as a negative teaching material.

Even, Zhou Jimin also heard that he used his deceased wife's grave to build a feng shui bureau to lock up luck, suppress his deceased wife, and let the Li family's wealth be passed on from generation to generation.

I have to say that those people are very serious, and ordinary people are really easy to be bluffed.

In any case, from the current point of view, or from the point of view of the never, the current Hilton Hotel, the location, is indeed a rare investment.

Ji Zhengxiong said that Hilton Hotel is a global asset-light group enterprise, so it has signed a lot of overbearing terms with Yonggao Company.

The hotel is profitable, as the owner of Yonggao Company, will also get dividends, if it loses, Yonggao Company will have to lose money.

This contract clause is the big pit!

Otherwise, a lot of capital will take advantage of this good time to take this property.

Therefore, let alone 50 million US dollars, even if it is 20 million US dollars, you can't buy them.

"Okay, I know, set up a good acquisition team, based on 40 million, for every 1 million US dollars reduced, I will reward 100,000 US dollars, how much reward you can get, it's up to you........

Hearing Zhou Jimin's words, Ji Zhengxiong and the others all became short of breath.

The temptation of 100,000 US dollars!

Although it is very difficult to negotiate this project, it doesn't matter, as long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't do.

Just like what Ji Zhengxiong just said, it can be used as a negotiation point to persuade Yonggao Company to reduce prices.

"Okay, boss, we'll get the job done."

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.

Such a simple truth, Zhou Jimin naturally understands.

After acquiring this property, you can directly build a property in the future

to their own headquarters building.

Elsewhere, it's not easy to take and the location isn't good enough.

Zhou Jimin also wants to build a science and technology cyberport on the island in the future, and he has to wait a little longer.

"Thirdly, how is the Hualong Bank acquisition going?"

Hualong Bank is a family bank on the island, which was originally the asset of the local Lin family, but after World War II, it was acquired by foreign capital.

After more than 20 years of development, Hualong Bank is still half-dead.

Foreign capital withdrew from the island, and Zhou Jimin happened to want to buy a bank as his settlement center on the island.

Therefore, foreign investors were contacted to start acquisition negotiations.

It's just that foreign capital has obviously opened its mouth, so it has been busy for a long time.

The follow-up negotiations were all followed up by Ji Zhengxiong and them, and Zhou Jimin only looked at the results.

"Boss, it's almost over, the other party's current offer has been reduced to 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and we plan to ....... it."

Without waiting for Ji Zhengxiong to finish speaking, Zhou Jimin interrupted:

"There's no need to talk about it anymore, let's almost end the negotiations, 40 million is not expensive.....

"After the acquisition, we will integrate resources as soon as possible, arrange our own people to settle in, and poach people for me at the same time......

"Recruiting professionals from abroad to come to the island, I want to build Hualong Bank into an iron bucket........

Hiss!

Ji Zhengxiong and the others gasped, they didn't expect the boss's journey to be a sea of stars, and they were superficial.

Hualong Bank asked for 40 million, which was not expensive.

Indeed, if according to Zhou Jimin's statement, in the future, Hualong Bank will be opened in Great Britain, Bald Eagle and other places, on the one hand, as a settlement center for many industries, and on the other hand, it will attract funds to make money.
