Soon after returning to Hong Kong, Lin Zhichao and Li Gaofu made an appointment to have tea together.

During the dinner, Li Gaofu said: "Since the end of April, there has hardly been too much 'smuggling' business, and this month (June) the procurement and transportation of some materials have almost stopped. There is a great hope for success in this peace talks! ”

As one of the indirect participants, Li Gaofu can also analyze some situations from these.

Lin Zhichao said: "In October last year, the Yankees were afraid that they would not be able to launch a campaign above the battalion level, but next month's peace talks are expected to be successful, and we in Hong Kong should also develop its economy, and the impact in the past few years has been not small." ”

If there had been no war, Hong Kong would have been industrialized, because the group of people who came from the Shanghai market were entrepreneurs. So in fact, in the past three years, Hong Kong has been restricted for three years.

Li Gaofu took the initiative to say: "We have set up a real estate company, called Gaosheng Real Estate, and we plan to enter the real estate industry, after all, we all want to make money steadily. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "It's a good idea." ”

Li Gaofu already owns an old building complex covering an area of 23,300 square feet in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, and also owns an old commercial building covering an area of more than 20,000 square feet in Wan Chai.

Fang Shuquan, the president of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, only bought a 20,000-square-foot piece of land in Huangzhukeng last year, which can be regarded as entering the real estate industry. It is estimated that Fuhe Hong also has assets of three or four million Hong Kong dollars, and if it reinvests in real estate, it can be regarded as a small force.

As for the future, it depends on how they play, you must know that the late fifties were very risky, and there were many people who were seriously injured and bankrupt; If they invest in rent-to-rent properties, they can almost become rich.

In any case, Lin Zhichao will not interfere in any way.

Li Gaofu was also very excited at this time, and landed safely again, although he was blacklisted by the U.S. Department of Commerce, he did not regret it.

After all, in the past few years, he has earned millions of Hong Kong dollars, so why regret it.

After the two separated, Li Gaofu drove back to his mansion in Happy Valley, which was a single-family house with a price of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, for him, it is already sprinkling, Li Gaofu has calculated his net worth, which is already more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and he is also at the level of a rich man in Hong Kong.

After sighing with emotion, Li Gaofu returned home and saw Chen Shufang with a big belly, and he had a somewhat complicated mood. His wife has given birth to two daughters and a son for him, and now he is pregnant with Liujia, but he has recently liked the entertainment life outside, dancing with those beautiful girls, and killing time.

Gradually, he found that he wanted to marry an aunt's wife, the kind of beautiful, young and virtuous, but there was no suitable partner at present.

"Why don't you have a party today?" Chen Shufang took Li Gaofu's bag and asked deliberately.

"When you ask, if a friend asks me to go, if I don't have a friend, I will go home. Everyone is a businessman, do you want to cut yourself off, I see that you are too used to being a rich wife now, and you want to find fault with me. Li Gaofu said with a strong heart.

In this case, Chen Shufang immediately relented, and immediately said: "I didn't care about you so much, what are you excited about, I boiled soup for you, and I asked the maid to serve it to you." ”

Li Gaofu was in a good mood suddenly, if Chen Shufang could be reasonable, of course he would respect his original partner, not to mention that there were four children, so he immediately comforted Chen Shufang's stomach and said: "This time it should be another target!" ”

When Chen Shufang heard this, she immediately said, "It must be!" After this is born, I will give birth to two more sons, so that I can be worthy of my eldest master. ”

Li Gaofu immediately said with satisfaction: "It doesn't matter so much, two sons and two daughters are not bad!" ”

Chen Shufang asked curiously, "How many children does Zhichao have now?" ”

Since the two haven't left for three years, she doesn't know if there are any new ones.

Li Gaofu said: "His eldest wife is two, and his second wife is one, both of whom are sons. Others are not in a hurry, there are two ladies to give birth. ”

This is almost an open temptation!

Chen Shufang gritted her teeth and said: "If you have the ability, just find a sensible concubine, I won't make trouble, and manage the family for you." ”

Li Gaofu immediately got cheap and said obediently: "Look at what you said, there is no shadow." Besides, we are a couple in distress, and of course I spoil you the most. ”

Chen Shufang immediately said happily: "It's good to know!" I'm a good measurer! ”

As early as back then, she had heard Lin Zhichao say that this kind of thing would happen, Li Gaofu rarely went home in recent years, and once in a while, she would have the smell of a woman on her body, and she had learned to get used to it.

She only knew that now she lived in a bungalow, had a car and a driver when she went out, and was wearing gold and silver; And those neighbor women in the past are still huddled in a small room with their husbands, worrying about life every day; On those days, every time she thought about it, she would have nightmares.

Time flies, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Lin Zhichao came to the wig production workshop and saw that 50 female workers were producing all kinds of wigs under the leadership of the management.

Chen Linyuan and Chen Xia followed Lin Zhichao to inspect the workshop, and when Lin Zhichao took the wig sample and looked left and right, Chen Linyuan said: "Boss, what do you think?" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said with satisfaction: "There is no problem with the quality and style, it can be comparable to a French wig." Then he said, "How many wigs can we produce in a month?" ”

Chen Xia, the manager of the production department, immediately said: "Boss, under normal circumstances, we can produce 200 wigs a month, and if we work overtime, we can produce 250~300 wigs per month. ”

After saying that, she looked at her boss with hopeful eyes, hoping to be recognized.

In the past five months, Chen Xia has felt like she was on a plane (she had never been on a plane), from a female worker to a production manager in a large company; From a monthly salary of 100 Hong Kong dollars to a monthly salary of 220 Hong Kong dollars, her family supports her.

Lin Zhichao said: "The production capacity of 200 is enough, and if the output is increased in the later stage, we can continue to recruit female workers and buy new machines." ”

In 1950, Lin Zhichao's factory was already a 12-hour working system, and if you work overtime, you will be paid 1.5 times the salary, which has become humane.

Chen Xia immediately said: "Yes, boss, if we want to increase production, we can train skilled female workers in a month." ”

Lin Zhichao has no dislike for Chen Xia's enthusiastic performance, no matter how strong her ability is, she is not indispensable, that is, under Chen Linyuan's control.

"Well, Manager Chen, you are the manager of the production department, but you are not the management trained by our Changjiang Industry, so you usually have to learn more about the production management system. Let General Manager Chen arrange for you to go to the Yangtze River zipper workshop to learn, our management system is a profound course, although wigs are the simplest industry, but can not be taken lightly. ”

Chen Xia blushed, and hurriedly said, "Boss Xie cultivated, I must study hard." ”

Chen Linyuan immediately said: "I have arranged for her to visit the Yangtze River zipper workshop several times, and Manager Chen is still easy to learn!" ”

Between singing and harmonizing, it knocked on the pride of Chen Xia's 'Kaisi Hero', which was also for her own good. She has some culture, and she is a hero of the wig factory, if she learns and studies new technologies well, she can always be the manager of the wig production department, and her salary will rise quickly.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao said: "Okay, since there is no problem with the production technology, the next step is to sell it." General Manager Chen, what are your plans? ”

For a cottage factory, there is no need for all departments to be separate, so Chen Linyuan has to take on the burden if he is the general manager. Now that the product is there, it's time to think about how to sell it.

Chen Linyuan then said: "The last time we participated in London, we had the contact information of a European wholesaler, and I plan to try it. On top of that, Lane Crawford in Hong Kong doubles as an import-export trader, so I think they'll give us orders there. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Lane Crawford is really important, you go to sell it first, and report to me if you have a situation." The United States will soon open its market to Hong Kong, and then consider entering the United States. ”

"Okay"

Lin Zhichao finally said: "By the way, that Master Gao must be invited over, hire him as a hairstylist, design various samples for us, and then hand them over to the workers for production." ”

Chen Linyuan nodded and said, "Master Gao is also unemployed now, so he can only come to work with us." ”

Chen Xia on the side was in a complicated mood, and even a little awkward, as soon as Master Gao came, it was obvious that her status would be restricted, after all, compared to a master, her skills were not exquisite enough.

Then she hurriedly comforted herself that she could learn management experience, which Master Gao always had no choice.

Chen Xia's performance naturally can't escape Lin Zhichao's fiery eyes, this is his way of being a subordinate, and he can't let his subordinates feel that they are very meritorious; Even if I fire you today, the company will not be affected much the next day, this is what the boss wants, and it is also what the company needs for development.

In less than an hour, Lin Zhichao left the wig factory, he was very efficient, and in general, within this time, he had already made the company's situation clear, and had already indicated the next plan.

Following.

Chen Linyuan took eight wig samples to Pedder Street, Lane Crawford's headquarters, and walked into the office of the Ministry of Trade.

"Who are you looking for, this gentleman?" The foreigner manager asked.

Chen Linyuan, as a young cadre (less than 30 years old) trained by Changjiang Industry, is naturally proficient in English, he took out a wig and put it on the desk of a foreigner who looked like a manager, and said: "Hello, this is our company's product - comparable to French wigs, please be sure to take a look, we hope to cooperate with you." ”

Seeing this, the foreigner manager was not pretentious, picked up the product that was 'comparable to a French wig', and carefully looked at it, and several other staff members in the office gathered around and visited the wig.

"Where did all these products come from?"

"Hong Kong, we are a manufacturer in Hong Kong."

The foreigner manager immediately said in disbelief: "No, this is absolutely impossible. Wigs of such good quality, which can only be made in France, are pure machine products of the Yankees, and they are not so well made. So, it must be a European product, as far as I know, there is not a single wig factory in Hong Kong, let alone the talent and machinery to make wigs. ”

Other staff members echoed the manager's point of view!

It is not difficult to understand that there has never been a factory in Hong Kong that produces wigs, let alone such beautiful products.

Chen Linyuan said confidently and proudly: "We are." Our Changjiang wigs belong to a subsidiary of Changjiang Industry, which was once the first factory in Asia to produce machines, and its products are still exported to Europe and the United States. Our Changjiang wigs also use advanced wig production technology, which can produce 300 wigs per month, and the price is only one-third of that of France. Therefore, if Lane Crawford is our trader, I believe it will be a mutually beneficial cooperation. ”

The manager is already crazy, of course he has heard of Changjiang Industry, and they also act as an agent for their zipper products! And when he heard that the wig was only a third of that of France, he seemed to have seen a big business opportunity.

He suppressed his excitement and said, "How did you come up with the idea of producing wigs?" ”

Chen Linyuan thought for a while and said: "The inspiration we found from the 'Beat Generation' in the United States, originally we wanted to sell to the United States, but at present, American products are not allowed to enter our Hong Kong products, but we believe that there will be hope this year." In Europe, though, we believe in Lane Crawford's strength. ”

The manager nodded and said, "If that's the case, we can sign a contract for the sale of 100 wigs per month, but I don't know what your specific price is?" ”

After saying that, he was looking forward to it.

Chen Linyuan said: "I can give Lane Crawford 500 Hong Kong dollars a cap to give you enough profit space." ”

The manager immediately agreed, "Yes." But before that, can you take a look at your company, after all, I think seeing is believing. ”

"No problem"

Chen Linyuan was also very happy in his heart, he didn't expect to sell half of the production capacity so easily, and it seems that the production capacity will be expanded soon. Moreover, this business is currently very profitable.

As the general manager, he knows that the investment in the Yangtze River wig is only more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and a set of equipment is less than 70,000 or 80,000 Hong Kong dollars. At present, Lane Crawford's orders alone can earn more than 30,000 yuan per month.

If the U.S. market is reopened, a young man can easily make millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits. Of course, as the boss said, this industry will be followed by crowds, even if they occupy the market first, it will not be so easy to earn.

But in any case, the profit of millions a year is still unquestionable.

Although it was not earned by him, the general manager, Chen Linyuan was still very excited.

In the office of Changjiang Industry, Lin Zhichao was also very happy when he heard Chen Linyuan's work report. There is no size in business, not to mention that wigs can earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in ten or twenty years, which is a business of millions of Hong Kong dollars, if you have the opportunity, you can't miss it.

He can spend millions of Hong Kong dollars a year on charity, and he will also care about the business with an annual income of more than one million. What's more, the hypothetical idea may have taken a week or two in total.

"We have sales channels in Europe and the United States, although good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but if you want to maintain the leading position in the industry, you must take the initiative. So, remember to develop the market. It is only a matter of a few months for the U.S. market to develop a market for Hong Kong, and although Americans hate Hong Kong people a little, as long as American businessmen make money, they don't care where the products come from. ”

Chen Linyuan said confidently: "Boss, don't worry, I have been to the United States with you to inspect and know the charm of the wig business." As long as the U.S. market is open, I guarantee that our products will enter the U.S. as soon as possible. ”

Being able to go abroad for an inspection, Chen Linyuan felt that it was his greatest learning progress, coupled with his confidence in the company's products, so he put down his ambitions.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Okay, I will hand over the wig factory to you to manage, do a good job, at the end of the year, I will give your management more food, you, the general manager, even take half a year's salary as a bonus, and I will not be stingy." ”

Chen Linyuan immediately said: "I am a person trained by Changjiang Industry and the boss, and it is natural to repay the company, and I will definitely do a good job." ”

Although he was tempted by the bonus for half a year, he still showed his loyalty for the first time. You must know that his salary is 600 Hong Kong dollars per month, which is already considered a high salary.

Lin Zhichao waved his hand and said: "As long as the company's efficiency is good, I am also very happy to give outstanding management." I never write empty checks to my men, you know. So, do it! ”

"Okay!"

Lin Zhichao also advised: "If someone in Hong Kong wants to enter this industry in the future and proposes to inspect our factory, you can consider allowing people to visit without affecting production." Therefore, even if someone else arranges someone to intern, they will be used as workers and will not be paid. Don't be stingy, after all, there are many ways to go with this thing, and you can still win a reputation for being generous. As for whether you can be the boss of the industry, the test is your level, and it has nothing to do with other reasons. ”

"I understand what the boss meant, we have done a good job in terms of reputation and scale in the early stage, so we don't have to worry about joining our peers."

"Well, that's pretty much what it means."

Chen Linyuan left the boss's office in a hurry, he always felt that mixing with the boss was a very promising thing. When he first arrived at Changjiang Industry, his salary was 260 yuan, because this was the salary of the talent level, and he enjoyed and managed a low-level salary; At the same time, the boss often tells everyone to learn, to progress, and to get a salary increase and promotion in the future, and this kind of encouraging words always make people integrate into the atmosphere of the whole company.

At the same time, Chen Linyuan has no pride, he understands that the idea of the 'wig' belongs to the boss, and the boss took him to the United States for inspection; all this is supported by the boss. Even without him, the boss can quickly find a replacement for him.

Therefore, Chen Linyuan said in his heart that he must do a good job in the promotion of wigs, even if there are many people in Hong Kong who have entered this industry, and the Yangtze River wig must be NO.1.

As for the boss saying that he wanted to do this trip to the factory to visit, he thought about it carefully and admired the boss's charity. Just like the boss said, the wig industry can support thousands of workers in Hong Kong, and the Yangtze River wig only needs to be NO.1.

On the other side, Lin Zhichao stretched his waist and finally got the wig thing done, and he could let his subordinates do it. Chen Linyuan also has the group's senior management at his head, and Wang Liang is now a full-time deputy general manager, leading the group's management to supervise him.

What's more, he pays attention to it occasionally, which is also a kind of supervision.

Lam sometimes feels that he is great, sees himself as a part of Hong Kong, and always wants Hong Kong to be more developed. For example, this wig industry was introduced to Hong Kong four or five years ahead of schedule, and the impact is still very great.

Another example is to make plastic flowers for Hong Kong two or three years in advance, which will also produce huge economic benefits.

He didn't do this for nothing, after all, he drank the soup and won a good reputation, so why not do it!
