Gauss, the owner of the Bourne Machinery Factory, brought mechanical engineers Ian and Luca to Hong Kong and visited the factory of Cheung Kong Industrial.

"Ou, Mr. Lin, this is your factory? Although Ian told me that your factory is small, I didn't expect it to be so small! Gauss said in disbelief.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "The new factory is already under construction and is expected to be put into use in the second half of the year. ”

It was he who invited Gauss to visit Hong Kong through a letter to build trust for follow-up cooperation.

"Alright! Then let's take a tour of your factory! Gauss said with a smile.

He has already handed over the textile machinery he produces to the Yangtze River Trading Agency, so he also hopes that Lin Zhichao can get some orders for him in the Far East.

After some investigation, Gauss was very satisfied with Lin Zhichao's strength and asked: "At present, how many hours do your three machines run every day?" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It's almost 22 hours, but the order is still far from being done!" ”

Even Lin Zhichao didn't expect that the zipper business was so good, so he hurriedly invited Gauss to come to Hong Kong to inspect and discuss the continued production of machines.

If Gauss hadn't met Lin Zhichao at the beginning, I'm afraid that the three automatic zipper machines would have been in the warehouse for a long time, so it would be considered more than 80,000 US dollars for nothing.

"No wonder you're so eager! It's okay to make zipper machines for you, but I'd like you to order at least 10 units. ”

Lin Zhichao smiled and did not answer this question on the spot, but invited the three of them to sit down in the office building of Cheung Kong Industrial.

After arriving, Lin Zhichao handed over some of his suggestions for machine modification to Gauss.

"I'm hoping to improve the automatic zipper machine, and that's some of my research over the course of five months."

Gauss was surprised, the young man knew a lot about feelings, and he only glanced at it a few times, and knew that Lin Zhichao was not fooling people, but easily improving the information. Of course, this information may not be professional, but it is a direction for improvement.

Handing the information to Ian, Gauss immediately said, "So, you want our Bourne Machinery to improve its research and development and regenerate a new automatic zipper machine?" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Not bad!" There is also a slider automatic stamping machine, and I also have some ideas for you. I hope that we will establish a cooperative relationship, I have provided the direction of research and development, you just need to continue, you can improve the automatic zipper machine, can increase the speed of 1.5~2 times the row of rice, to more than 3000 rpm. At the same time, if this machine is developed and produced, I will order 30 units. ”

Goldon said excitedly: "Thirty units? ”

30 units is a business of at least 750,000 US dollars, which is a lot of money.

Lin Zhichao said confidently: "There are also slider stamping machines, which also need ten." ”

Gauss calmed down at this time and said, "So many machines, Mr. Lin, your funds?" ”

Looking at Lin Zhichao's appearance, he doesn't look like a person who can take out nearly a million dollars.

"Of course, the machines are delivered in batches, and of course the funds need to be supported by Bourne Machinery – in installments. Mr. Gauss, in any case, it is impossible for you to lose money by investing in R&D, and I have also provided you with the direction of R&D. ”

At this time, Ian said: "Boss, the information given by Mr. Lin is very valuable for reference, if the research and development is successful, our automatic zipper machine will not worry about sales." ”

Lin Zhichao did not set a threshold, Bourne Machinery developed it, and he could sell it to whomever he wanted, of course, he couldn't sell it to RB people. The reason is simple, he must have been the first to order; Moreover, RB people also have the strength to develop the same products.

After thinking about it for a while, Gauss said: "If we develop it, how many units do you plan to order in the first batch, and how much money are you going to pay in advance?" ”

Lin Zhichao had already prepared, saying: "The first batch of ten automatic zipper machines and three slider stamping machines were ordered, and 30% of the funds were paid for the first time, and all the machinery payments and interest were paid off in one year. ”

Gauss soon decided to support Lin Zhichao, because he saw a steady stream of orders flying towards Cheung Kong. With only three machines, Cheung Kong can earn 250,000 US dollars a year, and if it has ten machines, there is no reason why it can't be earned.

"OK, I agree with your offer to cooperate. Mr. Lin, the information you provide is provided to us free of charge. After we develop and produce the machine, we will only provide it to you in Asia, of course, provided that Cheung Kong can continue to place orders within one year. ”

Lin Zhichao had already prepared that Gauss would agree, after all, his research and development materials could still provide great help, and Lin Zhichao was currently the largest zipper merchant in Asia.

Thinking that the current order is too late to be made, Lin Zhichao proposed: "At present, the order of Changjiang Industry is too late to be done, I don't know if Mr. Gauss can buy three more units for me from Germany first, so that I will have more money to pay you in the future." ”

Gauss was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I'll go back and ask people to find it in the Federal Republic of Germany, you won't have to installment the money for these three machines, right?" ”

"Isn't that possible?" Lin Zhichao asked rhetorically.

Periodization is very popular in this era, you can buy a ship, you can build a ship.

Gauss said, "Well, I'll vouch for you!" "Since they have decided to support Cheung Kong Industrial, they will give full sincerity at one time.

Today he listened to Lin Zhichao's many 'painting cakes', so Gauss was almost convinced of Lin Zhichao's ability to repay the loan.

In the next two days, Lin Zhichao took Gauss and others to inspect the textile market in Hong Kong, and then inspected

.......

On the way back, Gauss asked Ian, "Is that really useful?" ”

Ian nodded and said, "Very useful!" It can be said that with these references alone, we can successfully develop a new automatic zipper machine within half a year. ”

Gauss relieved that he had not lost money when he went to Hong Kong to inspect this time, after all, he found that Hong Kong's textile industry did not have much potential at all, and he was a little disappointed.

Fortunately, Lin Zhichao, a zipper businessman, gave him a lot of hope.

He promised Lin Zhichao that if the product development was successful, Asia would only sell to Lin Zhichao.

He is not lying, but there is still a large market in Europe and the United States, so he is not worried about making money.

.......

Here, after Lin Zhichao sent away Gauss and his party, he was also very happy.

In fact, Cheung Kong was still able to pay for three machines at this time, after all, from November last year to March this year, Cheung Kong had earned nearly 400,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Due to the reduction of costs in the later stage, he can earn 3.5 cents for a zipper, while Cheung Kong can produce 250,000 pieces (50,000 meters) a month, so the three machines are indeed money printing machines, earning 80,000 or 90,000 Hong Kong dollars a month.

"If I can install the new three machines in June, even if RB introduces an automatic zipper machine, I can make 1.5 million this year."

"It's equivalent to being able to pay off all your debts and have a surplus."

Lin Zhichao began to plan a zipper business, and he planned to go to Singapore to build a new factory early next year, the biggest purpose was to avoid the blockade of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry by the 'Peninsula War', because his zipper was preparing to enter the American market.

It is said that at that time, the preserved duck imported from Hong Kong had to prove that it was not domestic, which was quite strict.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a factory in Singapore to produce zippers, and at the same time, you can invest in the smelting industry in Singapore in the future.
