Tsuen Wan, Castle Peak Road.

Tang Zhongyuan and Song Qiaoling and his wife happily stood on a piece of land, where a carpet had been laid out and a place had been arranged around, and today was the groundbreaking ceremony of the second factory of Oriental Textile.

Dongfang Textile's first factory, covering an area of only 30,000 square feet, is also a one-story factory; Due to the orders of Cheung Kong Industrial, it has developed rapidly and the orders are in a very good state.

When Cheung Kong was preparing to expand its scale, Lin Zhichao naturally wanted to inform Tang Zhongyuan to consider investing in a new factory; Therefore, Oriental Textile immediately prepared to build a three-story industrial plant on a plot of land of 80,000 square feet.

Lin Zhichao has no reason not to support his father-in-law, after all, he will let his father-in-law and mother-in-law be accommodating in the future; At the same time, he also needs his own business alliances.

Tang Zhongyuan is a veteran of the textile industry, there is no problem with management and technology, and the disadvantage is that the courage and sales ability are slightly insufficient.

Of course, with Lin Zhichao as a backer, Tang Zhongyuan is also improving his courage and sales level; It's like a middle school student, and there are top students to make up for it, which will always have a good promotion effect.

"Brother Zhongyuan, congratulations!" Wang Tongyuan, a textile tycoon on Shanghitan, came to congratulate.

"Brother Tongyuan, welcome, welcome!" Tang Zhongyuan responded happily.

In the past, in the eyes of these Shanghaitan textile tycoons, there was only their cousin Tang Bingyuan, and their label was that they were members of the Tang family, shareholders and executives of the Tang textile factory.

And now, everyone seems to have regarded him as a person at the same business level, and this change made Tang Zhongyuan enjoy it quite a lot.

"It's a big investment!" Wang Tongyuan praised.

Tang Zhongyuan said modestly: "There, it's to build a three-story factory!" Brother Tong Yuan is the leader in our industry, the largest scale. ”

Wang Tongyuan ordered a batch of textile machines from Britain in February 1947, and later the Republic of China government telegraphed him because of the extreme shortage of foreign exchange and warned him not to import them; Therefore, Wang Tongyuan asked the British manufacturer to ship the textile machinery to Hong Kong and invest in the factory. In this year (1948), Wang Tongyuan led 80 outstanding workers and technicians from Shanghai Beach to Hong Kong, and he ran on both sides.

"Be humble! Your scale is not small! ”

The two exchanged pleasantries, and soon another person came.

With the crazy depreciation of the golden yuan, the wealthy people of Shanghai Tang were unwilling to be swallowed up by the Jiang dynasty, so they began to sell their assets and prepare to move to Hong Kong and overseas. There are already quite a few people who have come to the front.

Tang Bingyuan also brought his wife Wen Jinmei to congratulate, after all, they are all members of the Tang family, how can there be no reason not to give face.

Wen Jinmei said quickly: "Zhongyuan, when you arrived in Hong Kong, it was like a different person, I really can't see that you had this courage in the past!" ”

Tang Zhongyuan naturally didn't know how to see women in general, so he said with a smile: "Sister-in-law said that she was laughing!" When I arrived in Hong Kong, I realized that it was not a way to sit back and eat without spending money. As soon as this person was persecuted, he naturally had a little more courage. ”

This is said very well and seamlessly.

Wen Jinmei insisted on taking a bite, and said with a smile: "You found a good son-in-law!" ”

Tang Zhongyuan relies on Lin Zhichao, which is naturally not a secret in this circle, and nearly two-thirds of Dongfang Textile's orders come from Changjiang Industrial.

As soon as Wen Jinmei's words fell, the people around her paid attention.

Someone said: "So, Cheung Kong is going to expand again?" ”

Tang Zhongyuan didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's not clear, anyway, he expects to double the order next year, so I just happened to expand the factory." Moreover, I am very optimistic about the development of Hong Kong's textile industry, and we will not only export our products to Southeast Asia, but also to Europe and the United States. ”

"Okay, Brother Zhongyuan is ambitious!" One of the guests chimed in.

For a while, Wen Jinmei suddenly felt that she had lost a chip, because her husband only opened a factory this year.

After a while, Lin Zhichao came with Tang Caiyun, accompanied by Jian Dongpu of the Bank of East Asia, which can be regarded as giving Tang Zhongyuan enough face.

Of course, for Jian Dongpu, Oriental Textile is also a loan recipient of the Bank of East Asia, and he wastes no time attending a groundbreaking ceremony.

When Wang Tongyuan and Lin Zhichao talked, Lin Zhichao's first thought was not that Wang Tongyuan was a textile tycoon in Shanghaitan, but that he had a nephew named Wang Guojing; This Wang Guojing is a gentleman, but in his previous life, he was Guan Zhilin's ex-husband, although the marriage was only a few months.

Looking at a lot of textile people on Hi Beach, Lin Zhichao sighed, Hong Kong's textile industry will be the world of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai people in the future, next year the reality of Chen Tinghua, Tang Xiangqian, Cao Guangbiao, An Zijie, Zhou Wenxuan, etc., these people will gather in Hong Kong.

But what about the garment industry?

Hong Kong's ready-to-wear tycoons seem to be from Guangdong Province, such as Lin Baixin, Luo Dingbang, Chen Ruiqiu, etc., which makes Lin Zhichao have some ideas.

After all, he will enter the field of clothing sooner or later, and early intervention is obviously a must.

But intervening in advance is not right away!

If he is only allowed to do OEM work in Southeast Asia and Africa, he obviously can't look down on it. It's a waste of his time and energy, and he doesn't learn much experience.

He's going to do branding!

Lin Zhichao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a good choice.

As far as he knew, the Hong Kong crocodile shirt created by the Germans in 1911 had been confiscated by the Hong Kong government at this time, and the brand had not yet been sold.

If he takes it down and develops shirts, shirts, leather shoes, leather goods, etc., to become a mid-to-high-end clothing brand in Hong Kong, it is obviously a good choice.

Thinking of these, Lin Zhichao showed a smile, he didn't expect to see so many textile tycoons, he actually got an inspiration, it was really not in vain.

After participating in the groundbreaking ceremony of Oriental Textile, Jian Dongpu followed Lin Zhichao to Changjiang Industrial for inspection.

Lin Zhichao is the largest creditor of the Bank of East Asia, with an amount of about 3 million Hong Kong dollars, how can Jian Dongpu not be serious, the Bank of East Asia is almost always watching his industrial development, so as not to cause huge losses to the bank.

"I didn't expect the small zipper industry to be so promising. It is really the vision of people that determines its development. Jian Dongpu had to praise Lin Zhichao.

I saw the factory of Changjiang Industrial, the orderly workers were producing, and the machine was constantly spitting out zippers, this scene was like visiting a money printing machine factory.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "My pressure is also very high, RB has appeared mechanized production of zippers, and competition is imminent." ”

Jian Dongpu is very confident in Lin Zhichao and said: "You have not improved the automatic zipper machine and the first slider stamping machine, I believe that Cheung Kong can enter the world with zippers and become an industry giant." ”

What are you kidding, he has inspected Cheung Kong many times, and naturally knows the complexity of this - mechanical improvement.

Lin Zhichao said: "This is the direction that must be worked on!" ”

Changjiang has established mechanical cooperation with Bourne Machinery, and will lose to other opponents in the machine in the future; As for the issue of raw materials, Lin Zhichao has thought that whether it is aluminum alloy, copper, or nylon in the future, it is a good choice to develop investment as much as possible, even if it is to build factories on Taiwan Island and Southeast Asia.

"By the way, you bought all the land around here, are you planning to speculate on the land? I look at the textiles of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and began to build factories in Tsuen Wan. Jian Dongpu asked again.

He is very optimistic about Lin Zhichao's business talent, so he spares no effort to support, after all, supporting such a business tycoon, once successful, the benefits to the Bank of East Asia are self-evident.

"The appreciation is for sure, but I don't necessarily speculate on the land. These plots of land may be used to build factories in the future. I believe that Hong Kong's industrialization will reach a very high proportion with the arrival of mainland entrepreneurs, skilled workers, machinery, capital, etc. Naturally, I don't want to be left behind and make a big difference in the manufacturing industry. ”

Jian Dongpu suddenly sighed, Lin Zhichao is young, a large factory of sixty or seventy acres, how much output value and scale this is.

At the same time, he captured a useful message from Lam's words, that is, Hong Kong's prospects for industrialization are good. He is still more optimistic about Lin Zhichao, so this information will help the Bank of East Asia's reference - increase loans for manufacturing.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao took Jian Dongpu to visit the three-story factory under construction. In this wilderness of Tsuen Wan, Cheung Kong is like a rising pearl, which is gradually illuminating the entire Tsuen Wan.

While visiting, Lin Zhichao was also thinking about a problem.

It is time for Cheung Kong to set up a research institute, and with the increase in the number of people coming to Hong Kong from the mainland, there is a lot of talent among these people.

He needs mechanical talents, management talents, etc.
