Lin Zhichao took people to Tsuen Wan to inspect the site selection of the 'Cheung Kong Industrial Factory', and looked at the farmland and beach in front of him, and he suddenly had a lot of question marks.

It's so desolate!

"Currently, what is the population of Tsuen Wan? How many factories are there? Lin Zhichao asked Hu Zhaoxu beside him.

Mr Woo is the marketing manager of Cheung Kong Properties, where his job is to search for properties and land in Hong Kong, as well as to sell Cheung Kong properties.

And Lin Zhichao's future father-in-law Tang Bingyao's factory site, he participated in it, of course, only to provide reference opinions; After all, what factors should textile factories consider, Hu Zhaoxu is a layman.

"According to recent Hong Kong government statistics, Tsuen Wan should have a population of 6,000. As for the factories, they are very rare, and there is a Liquan Distillery, Castle Peak Ceramics Factory, Texaco Company, Meiya Weaving Factory, Far East Iron Throat Company, South China Weaving Factory are more famous, and then there is Mr. Tang's factory under construction. ”

The population is only 6,000, but it will accommodate 600,000 people in the future;

And there are less than ten factories, which is even more pitiful.

Of course, the later Tsuen Wan has been reclaimed many times, and the current city center of Tsuen Wan is only 0.5 square kilometers (counting the city center, the entire Tsuen Wan is about 50 square kilometers).

Lin Zhichao suddenly rushed to an idea, and then asked: "How much does it cost to build a factory here?" ”

He remembered one thing, Tsuen Wan really became a paradise for factory owners in 1950.

It was only in the spring of 1949 that everyone gave up their illusions and came to Hong Kong with money and technology. At that time, there were no factories to rent in Sai Wan, Sheung Wan, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and North Point; Therefore, factory owners can only choose Shau Kei Wan and Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island, and Tsuen Wan near Kowloon.

Well, that is to say - the land in Tsuen Wan is going to skyrocket.

Wu Siu-chu immediately said: "It is expected to be in the range of 3~5 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and Yeung Uk Road near the sea is more expensive (near the pier), followed by the area around Castle Peak Road (Avenida from the New Territories to Kowloon). This side is relatively deserted, and there are almost no factories to choose a site here, unless there is really no place to choose a site. ”

Lin Zhichao suddenly rejoiced in his heart, if such a cheap land was to rise at least one or two times after two years.

So, he said to Hu Zhaoxu: "In this way, you are now taking someone to search for suitable industrial land for me to build a factory in Tsuen Wan, Castle Peak Road is the best, I need a land of about 100,000 square feet (16.6 acres. The size of a football field and a half. ), which was used as a factory to cover Cheung Kong Industrial. After this is done, I will consider absorbing other plots of land in Tsuen Wan, this place is good and has great potential. ”

Hu Zhaoxu sighed in his heart Lin Zhichao's courage, looking at the appearance of the boss, this time I am afraid that it is a land investment of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

"Okay, I'll do it right away! Boss, don't worry, I'm already familiar with this side, and I'll give you the right goal! ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, of course he would not personally look for the land, Hu Zhaoxu found a suitable target, and he would determine whether it was feasible, so as to save energy.

The land can be mortgaged, and then the loan money can be reinvested like a snowball.

However, although he knew that the land in Tsuen Wan was going to skyrocket, Lin Zhichao must have only taken out part of the funds to invest, and his eggs could not be put in one basket.

He will invest in the land in Tsuen Wan and divide it into two companies to invest:

Cheung Kong invested in a land plot of about 100,000 square feet, and then divided the land into two phases, the first phase of the project was a one-storey factory (fast), and the second phase of the factory was a five-story industrial building (with a large area). In terms of funds, I will go to the Bank of East Asia for a loan, after all, Cheung Kong now has a monthly profit of 7~80,000 Hong Kong dollars, and can continue to borrow.

Changjiang Real Estate only began to invest in the second half of 1948, investing almost 200,000 square feet of land (many pieces), and in 1950, it was sold and quickly sold for other investments.

Although it is said that these lands can be multiplied dozens of times in the future.

But Lin Zhichao understands the truth of 'goods are like wheels', and he wants to roll the funds.

What's more, Hong Kong's property and land have really risen since 1967, so there is no need to hold too much land and property for a long time for the time being.

........

Lin Zhichao once again invited Jian Dongpu of the Bank of East Asia to visit Cheung Kong Industrial. As the largest 'debt king' of the Bank of East Asia, Jian Dongpu is naturally very face-saving.

A medium-sized bank/bank in Hong Kong has a profit of almost 400,000 Hong Kong dollars a year, while a small silver bank has a profit of only 120,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Zhichao can provide more than 200,000 yuan of profits for the Bank of East Asia every year, in other words, he can be regarded as the 'God of Wealth' of the Bank of East Asia; of course, it may be more reasonable to say the opposite.

When the time comes, Lin Zhichao will definitely contact HSBC to increase the number of cooperative banking partners; It's not that he has abandoned the Bank of East Asia, but that he has a much bigger career and needs more options.

"Amazing! These three machines have only arrived in Hong Kong for less than three months, and you can actually work 16 hours a day, which feels like a machine for printing money! Jian Dongpu sighed.

Lin Zhichao handed Jian Dongpu the financial statements for December last year, and said: "Last month, we produced 180,000 zippers, and the profit was 55,000 Hong Kong dollars. This month, we received a large order from an American zipper merchant, a one-time 12,000 meters of copper zipper, which can net 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, and importantly, he has promised to cooperate with us for a long time. ”

Jian Dongpu was surprised in his heart, feeling that Lin Zhichao's zipper factory, the profits were almost comparable to those of the Bank of East Asia.

What is the speed at which this makes money, it makes him feel like he doesn't believe it.

Flipping through the financial statements, Jian Dongpu was shocked in addition to being shocked.

After a long time, he sighed: "With just three machines, you are among the largest factories in Hong Kong." With factories that can earn 800,000 Hong Kong dollars a year, Xiangjiang is really one of the few. ”

Lin Zhichao's mind was very rational and analyzed: "I am better than being the first to eat crabs, but it is impossible for me to be the only one to eat crabs." So, if I want to maintain this profitable scale, I have to expand the factory, order more machines, ensure better quality, and cut more costs. Maybe six machines in the future will only make this money, after all, the pressure of competition is high. ”

Jian Dongpu nodded and said: "Actually, I inspected your two factories and found that it was not just a matter of three machines. So, how much are you going to borrow? ”

Lin Zhichao immediately opened his mouth: "500,000 Hong Kong dollars!" ”

Jian Dongpu said unexpectedly: "It costs so much money to build a factory? ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "I plan to invest in a large factory in Tsuen Wan, which requires at least 100,000 square feet of land. After all, the zipper market will increase exponentially, that is, if someone joins the competition, the annual profit is one million Hong Kong dollars, I believe Cheung Kong can do it. ”

In his previous life, Guo Desheng acted as an agent for YKK zippers, and sold his products in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, earning 1 million a year; Changjiang has no reason to open a factory, and he doesn't make much money as an agent.

Not to mention, Cheung Kong was also the first person to eat crabs, and Lin Zhichao's brain was not lost to Tadao Yoshida.

After thinking about it for a while, Jian Dongpu said: "The profits of Ling's zipper factory are stable, and there is a land mortgage, so I have a total loan of 900,000 Hong Kong dollars from Cheung Kong Industrial, and I am not worried about not being able to recover it." What's more, you have plenty of cash in Changjiang Land. By the way, why don't you use the funds of Changjiang Real Estate? ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "These are two companies, not to mention that I think Changjiang Industrial has a debt of 900,000 yuan, which is nothing, that is, a year's profit." ”

Jian Dongpu stopped talking nonsense, in his mind, Lin Zhichao was very trustworthy, and lending money to Lin Zhichao was as safe as depositing money in the Bank of East Asia.

"Okay, I'll give you the money in a few days! According to the rules, Cheung Kong mortgaged to us, including the land you bought with money. ”

"No problem!"

His property was mortgaged, but he didn't feel anxious.

In the early stage of entrepreneurship, it is necessary to move forward bravely, because there is not much to lose anyway, and it is easy to get back up.

In the middle of entrepreneurship, we should not forget to be steady, and development in this period is still the most important, but we need to consider steady.

In the later stage of entrepreneurship, it is necessary to be steady and not forget to develop, first of all, to be steady, and to develop other businesses only if you have extra money.
