At the end of January, Lin Zhichao took people to a plot of land on Castle Peak Road in Tsuen Wan.

Located at the foot of Seremban Mountain, sandwiched between Castle Peak Road and the Kowloon-Canton Railway, the site covers an area of 120,000 square feet, equivalent to the size of two football fields (20 acres).

To this end, Cheung Kong spent a full 450,000 Hong Kong dollars, all the expenses combined.

"Boss, if you want to invest in the land in Tsuen Wan, you can buy the land in the east and west together, adding up to about three or four hundred thousand square feet!" Hu Zhaoxu pointed to the east and west sides and said.

Lin Zhichao looked at both sides, nodded and said, "It's a very good suggestion!" In this case, let's wait until Cheung Kong makes enough money and then find an opportunity to buy the surrounding land. I think it's a good choice to open a big factory on all the land here. ”

What he didn't know was that the land he bought was the land of the Huaxia dyeing factory of the Zha Jimin family in the previous life. Now that Lin Zhichao has preemptively enclosed the land, it seems that the beloved son-in-law of the national entrepreneur Liu Guojun may have to find another place.

Hu Zhaoxu said: "What about the land that Changjiang Real Estate invested in Tsuen Wan? ”

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "Don't look for it yet!" There are too many enclosures, and the impact is not good. What's more, I have more lucrative projects, so there's no need to stare at the land in Tsuen Wan. ”

Since there is already such a big goal, there is no need to continue to enclose land.

"Okay"

Lin Zhichao calculated that at the end of this year (1948), Cheung Kong Industrial would have the funds to continue to buy land; At that time, we will consider taking the surrounding land together.

In this way, he already has about 400,000 square feet of land in Tsuen Wan.

After all, in addition to investing in a zipper factory, he also plans to build a toy factory, a plastic factory, etc., and seventy or eighty acres of land is just right.

In the future, when the factories are relocated, these plots will be good residential sites for the construction of large housing estates.

Next, Lin Zhichao commanded Huang Changhong, the 'engineering department' of Cheung Kong Real Estate, and Wang Liang, the deputy general manager and production manager of Cheung Kong Industrial, who had just been promoted.

"The 120,000 square feet of industrial land is divided into three phases, and about 30,000 square feet of land will be taken out here to quickly build a one-story factory, which should be put into use in the second half of the year, right?"

Huang Changhong immediately said: "No problem! It is not difficult to build a one-story factory, five months is enough. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then said: "And here, I want to build two industrial buildings in phases, can I build five stories high?" ”

Huang Changhong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid it's not okay!" Technology and approvals are difficult, and the tallest factory in Hong Kong, the Swire Sugar Factory in Quarry Bay, is only three stories high. ”

Lin Zhichao is not very surprised, he also has a certain understanding.

But he also knows that the factories in Hong Kong in the late fifties have even reached 12~16 floors.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhichao said: "Then let it go first, and then it will be decided according to the situation." First build me a 30,000-square-foot one-story factory building,"

At present, Cheung Kong's two factories are only 5,000 square feet.

If you can build a 30,000-square-foot one-story factory in a short time, it will take a long time. Moreover, he will also go to Singapore to invest in the construction of a factory.

Huang Changhong nodded and said, "No problem, we'll design and build it immediately!" ”

Lin Zhichao said to Wang Liang again: "Manager Wang, you also joined the design team, after all, you are familiar with the demand for the production of zippers." ”

As Li Gaofu was worried about the affairs of the Yangtze River Trading Company, Lin Zhichao simply promoted Wang Liang to be the deputy general manager of course, Wang Liang is a talent, he has been a supervisor in a foreigner factory, and he is also proficient in English.

"Okay, I'll do my best." Wang Liang said.

Not long after he joined Cheung Kong, he could feel that the boss was a fast-paced boss, who was more decentralized, but in fact he was paying attention to everything.

For example, the boss gives him the production task, but the boss actually knows the entire production inside out and is more proficient in the technical field than himself.

The matter of the factory land was solved, and Lin Zhichao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Changjiang Industry will not only have three machines in the future, but may add new machines in the second half of the year to quickly seize the zipper market in Asia.

.......

Tang Zhongyuan and Song Qiaoling took a pair of daughters and a pair of sons to Tang Bingyuan's residence to pay a visit.

Tang Zhongyuan and Tang Bingyuan are cousins, the same grandfather Tang Hongpei.

The strength of the Tang family in industry is not lower than that of another Wuxi family, the Rong family; Before the Sino-Japanese War, Tang's 'Qingfeng Textile Factory' had become one of the seven major textile enterprises in Wuxi, and Tang's had other industrial factories.

In fact, Tang Zhongyuan is not the real owner of the textile factory, but only a minority shareholder and management of the family industry, and Tang Bingyuan is the 'power' of the family industry.

As a result, Tang Zhongyuan's status in the Tang family is not very high, because since his father's generation, he has become Tang Bingyuan's father's foil.

Therefore, after Tang Zhongyuan came to Hong Kong, he said that starting a business was simply 'talking about it', not only thinking about returning to the mainland, but also his lack of strength.

However, after Lin Zhichao's persuasion, he still mustered up the courage to prepare a factory in Tsuen Wan, mainly to have a ready-made market. His shortcomings are external sales and opening up the market, and he is best at factory management and process technology.

"Brother Zhong, I didn't expect that after you came to Hong Kong, you were much bolder and dared to open a factory alone. I also said, let you help me again! Tang Bingyao said.

In his tone, there was more or less surprise, you must know that this cousin does not have much strength, and he does not have much courage.

At this time, Tang Zhongyuan can be said to be full of confidence, with the help of Lin Zhichao, the future son-in-law, as long as his textile factory is opened, it is possible to get a large number of orders from Changjiang Industrial. Of course, the premise is that the quality is passable, but after all, he has been doing textiles for many years, and these are not problems.

"Brother Bing has been in Hong Kong for a while, haven't you made up your mind yet?" Tang Zhongyuan asked lightly.

At this time, Tang Bingyuan's wife Wen Jinmei interjected: "It is good to have a magic capital in Hong Kong, and the conditions are insufficient in all aspects. Although your cousin is now in Hong Kong, he is observing the situation in the mainland and, of course, the environment in Hong Kong. Zhongyuan, you didn't have a monopoly on textiles before, why did you rush to open a textile factory when you arrived in Hong Kong. What if this is lost? Why don't you think about Qiao Ling at all. ”

Wen Jinmei's words can be described as very mysterious.

Tang Bingyuan is the leader of Wuxi Textile, and Tang Zhongyuan has always been just the person in charge of the factory, but he didn't expect to come to Hong Kong now to be the first to come out, which made Wen Jinmei a little 'unhappy'.

Therefore, in her words, she first described her husband as 'steady', and then classified Tang Zhongyuan's behavior as 'reckless'.

When Tang Zhongyuan and his wife heard Wen Jinmei's words, they didn't dare to show 'warm anger', but could only listen.

The reason is very simple, Tang Bingyuan is equivalent to 'the Tang family in power', and this Wen Jinmei has a deep background, she is the eldest daughter of Wen Bingzhong, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, and Wen Bingzhong is the brother-in-law of the Song sisters, and when they went to school in the United States, they were accompanied by Wen Bingzhong.

So now, Tang Zhongyuan is more like a senior manager, in front of Tang Bingyuan.

"The factory is small, and I've already found a sales channel, so I'm going to start a business." Tang Zhongyuan said.

His factory covers an area of more than 30,000 square feet, with a total investment of about 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, which accounts for almost half of his assets. To be honest, if it weren't for Lin Zhichao's encouragement, Tang Zhongyuan wouldn't have dared to invest so much.

Tang Bingyuan said with a smile: "That's okay! Now that we have taken action, we must do it well. ”

At this point, he also has to take care of his family.

Tang Zhongyuan nodded, feeling relieved and vaguely excited, he hoped to break away from his cousin and break out of the world by himself.

"By the way, Brother Bing and sister-in-law, on Caiyun's 19th birthday on the weekend, there will be a dinner party at the Six Nations Hotel, I wonder if you are free?"

Tang Bingyuan hadn't opened his mouth yet, Wen Jinmei immediately said: "You guys are really, it's not your 18th birthday, why are you still doing a big deal." When we came to Hong Kong, everything needed money, and everything should be simple. ”

has an educational tone, which seems to be similar to the attitude in the magic capital at the beginning.

Tang Caiyun was on the side, and her face was suddenly red, and she dared not speak angrily.

At this time, Song Qiaoling was heartbroken for her daughter and wanted to show off, so she immediately said: "It's Caiyun's object that has to be held, we can't persuade it, we can only listen to it, it's just to have a meal together." ”

Wen Jinmei didn't seem to care about Tang Caiyun's object, and a trace of 'contempt' appeared on her face.

How about a Rok Kok Hotel, even the most luxurious Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong?

The big hotels in Shanghai are not bad, and she naturally doesn't think it's a big deal.

On the contrary, Tang Bingyuan said with concern: "Hey, Caiyun, this girl has a partner, which talent is it in the magic capital?" ”

The conditions of his niece are very good, and if the marriage is good, it will also help the whole family to a certain extent.

Tang Zhongyuan said: "I am from Guangdong Province and met in Hong Kong. has no background, and has earned a career from scratch. ”

Song Qiaoling wanted to stop talking, she felt that her son-in-law was very powerful, and her husband didn't say it at all.

At this time, Wen Jinmei became interested, so she said: "What's the matter with you, if you don't look for Jiangnan people, why don't you find a person from Guangdong Province who has no background." Caiyun, this girl, looks like a water spirit, and she was born in the Tang family. ”

Song Qiaoling finally couldn't help it, and immediately said: "Although Lin Zhichao is from Guangdong Province, he can also speak Wu and is very talented in languages. What's more, although he is not from a prestigious family, he is also a well-known businessman in Hong Kong, and even the governor gave him thin noodles to participate in the start of his real estate projects. ”

I can't help but bury Wen Jinmei in my heart, you are just a refuge 'refugee' now, what's the big deal!

Tang Bingyuan immediately paid attention and said, "Lin Zhichao? Is that the boss of Changjiang Real Estate Company? ”

Song Qiaoling was proud at this time, because looking at Tang Bingyuan's appearance, her future son-in-law was also very famous.

Tang Zhongyuan also said proudly at this time: "It's him, but the two have only known each other for a short time, and they are still in the stage of observation and understanding." ”

Wen Jinmei obviously knew Lin Zhichao as well, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that this Lin Zhichao opened a real estate company and earned millions of Hong Kong dollars, and it only took a year." ”

This amount of money may not be nothing, but others are already deeply rooted in Xiangjiang, and they are the head snakes of the land, and they are very open.

Song Qiaoling couldn't help but show off again: "He also opened a zipper factory, which is produced by automatic zipper machines in Europe and the United States, and I heard that he can earn 1 million a year!" ”

Wen Jinmei was dumbfounded for a while, a businessman with this strength was the number one person in the magic capital, not to mention a self-made young man.

Even Tang Bingyuan couldn't help but be moved, earning 2 million Hong Kong dollars a year, even if he opened a factory now, he didn't dare to say this, after all, Hong Kong is not the magic capital.

"Okay, we'll be there on the weekend to meet this business wizard." Tang Bingyuan immediately decided.

When you come to Hong Kong, you can't go wrong with getting to know one more person.

What's more, the words are all here, if you don't go, you will directly offend people.

My cousin seems to have found a 'backer', no wonder the factory is one step ahead of him.
