In early April, at Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong, Tang Caiyun gave birth to another son, named Lin Ruikai.

Today, Lin Zhichao has four sons, namely Lin Ruihuan, Lin Ruijiang, Lin Ruihai (Xu Caiying), and Lin Ruikai, and the family is prosperous.

In the VIP room, Xu Caiying hugged Lin Ruikai, who had just given birth, and said: "I'm relieved that he is a boy!" ”

Tang Caiyun leaned on the bed, her husband guarded her, and said warmly: "Why is he a boy, you can rest assured?" ”

Xu Caiying said as a matter of course: "According to probability, there are already four boys in our family, so my next child may be a little princess, what a good thing!" Scarcity is expensive, and when the time comes, I won't be spoiled by my four brothers. ”

Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun laughed, in fact, this child, everyone already vaguely wants a daughter, but things are so wonderful, maybe Lin Zhichao has 'boy genes'.

"That's not necessarily, I still plan to give birth to one, maybe the 'little princess' won't be your turn in this room!" Tang Caiyun said deliberately.

Xu Caiying suddenly came to his senses and said, "That's fine! In the future, the little princess I gave birth to is my sister, and the little princess born to my sister is my sister, so that my sister has spoiled my sister since she was a child, and continued the love between us, but it was reversed, and I think it's very good when I think about it! ”

She has liked to follow Tang Caiyun since she was a child, even if she sleeps at night, she likes to go to her sister's room; The younger sister is attached to the older sister, and the older sister is pampered by the younger sister.

Tang Caiyun said: "It's not easy to be a sister, you have to learn to share everything with your sister!" After speaking, he said meaningfully.

Xu Caiying blushed and said coquettishly: "Sister! ”

Lin Zhichao laughed 'haha', and then said: "My daughter will definitely not be like this, even the British prince is not worthy." ”

Tang Caiyun hurriedly added: "This is nature! But the law of Hong Kong should also be reformed, in the sixties and seventies? ”

Tang Caiyun is still disgusted with polygamy, of course, she feels acceptable to her husband, anyway, Xu Caiying has had a good relationship with her since she was a child.

Lin Zhichao said: "If the economy goes up, it will naturally be reformed. ”

For Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying, reform is of course a good thing, so as to prevent Lin Zhichao from marrying another room and coming back. They are already worried that Lin Zhichao still has a house overseas, and if he has been keeping it overseas, it is acceptable; It's just that if you get married, everyone won't get along as well as they do now.

They also know that with Lin Zhichao's 'superpower' in that aspect, it is very rare to be able to be not lustful, and his self-control is very good.

Like many other wealthy people in Hong Kong, they have a few rooms at home, and they often look for flowers and willows outside, which is the norm for Hong Kong rich people.

Following.

Lin Zhichao came to the Yangtze River Industrial Park, the fourth new plant is already under construction, and it is expected to be put into use in October; It is a five-storey industrial building with a floor area of about 150,000 square feet.

The industrial building is intended to be used for zipper production, while the original three-storey zipper factory can be kept as a backup factory and ready for use, such as the production of plastic flowers, Barbie dolls, etc.

The wig factory only needs one floor to be sufficient, and the plastic flower industry is much larger than the wig industry; Because of this, in the previous life, Hong Kong's plastic industry also divided into a plastic flower industry, and the two industries were side by side, which shows how huge the plastic flower industry is.

In his previous life, Li Jiacheng earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the plastic flower industry, which was because he couldn't keep up with the scale of the factory at the beginning, and many other factories grabbed a lot of market share, which did not exist in the Yangtze River Plastic Factory.

"Boss, the European toy factory has sent back a message that it needs to order another 50,000 Bile Lily and 150,000 sets of six-style clothing." Ke Yanping excitedly walked into the boss's office and reported good news.

Lin Zhichao also felt a little surprised when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was taken for granted. Even if it reaches 150,000 Belle Lily sales this year, this is a very normal level.

Schréder's Gauss, Muto and others only need to rely on the sales situation in the market to make an advance order, after all, it will take about two months to produce and ship.

"Well, pay attention to quality and production efficiency, and complete orders on time."

Ke Yanping nodded, and then said: "No problem, I plan to deliver it in three batches, so that things will not be delayed." We don't need to work overtime to avoid compromising quality. ”

It does make sense, if you work overtime late at night, people's spirits will inevitably decline, and it is easy to produce defective products. At present, many production lines of Changjiang Industry are implemented in two shifts, which is conducive to the rest of employees and improves the efficiency of survival.

"What about the other toys?" Lin Zhichao asked.

You must know that Bier Lily's Asian agent belongs to Changjiang Toy Factory, and at the same time, Changjiang Toy Factory also has the "Bond Toys" brand, and OEM business for European and American toy manufacturers.

On the whole, although the Yangtze River Toy Factory does not make money in the wig industry at present (high profits, the industry leader), it is larger than the wig factory in terms of scale.

"There are more OEM toy manufacturers, and North American Bond toys are very popular in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and on the whole, the development is in a state of steady growth. By the way, our old qualification competition is the biggest opponent - Kaida Industry, and has also entered the field of OEM toys for Europe and the United States - the production of clockwork and gears, trolley toys, and the strength cannot be underestimated. Ke Yanping reported seriously.

He actually knew that the boss knew about it, and there was almost nothing to hide from the boss, but he needed to report it in detail.

After Lin Zhichao heard this, he didn't pay attention to Kaida Industry, and he didn't expect OEM to make money, but more of a comprehensive development plan; In fact, the core of Changjiang Toy Factory will be 'private label and high value-added innovative toys'.

Kaida Industrial is one of the largest plastic factories in Hong Kong, and in recent years it has been the main rival of Cheung Kong Plastic Factory, but everyone is safe and there is no vicious competition. Nowadays, it is logical for Kaida Industry to enter the field of toys, after all, the plastic factory has a toy business at the beginning, and most of the toys will be made of plastic materials.

Importantly, Kaida Industrial has abundant funds, as early as 1948, its boss Ding Houzhao borrowed 3 million Hong Kong dollars from the bank to build factories and produce plastics and toys.

Lin Zhichao doesn't look down on the OEM industry, although he is currently doing this business, but he has a lot of 'creative toys' projects after all.

"I plan to let Cheung Kong Industrial Group recruit a group of talents and elites, arrange them to Changjiang Toy Factory, expand our management team, and you, the general manager, should set your sights on the world level, such as maintaining communication and contact with the two toy factories we have partnered with, and inspecting the advantages of the world's toy manufacturers, etc., should organize the overseas inspection and delegate the production and management business of Hong Kong to his subordinates, and form a modern toy enterprise."

Ke Yanping has a good level of education, and has worked in Changjiang Industry for four or five years, no matter how big his company is, Lin Zhichao is willing to trust these 'own people'; of course, there is a premise, that is, their knowledge, experience, and knowledge should grow with the expansion of the enterprise.

"Well, I see what the boss meant!" Ke Yanping said confidently.

From the time when the boss partnered with two overseas toy companies, he knew the positioning and development trend of the Yangtze River Toy Factory, and he had followed the boss for so many years, and he also knew that the boss did not look down on small toy companies, and he must be a big enterprise. Therefore, he has always been strict with himself.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "You are the general manager, I hope you are not only my first assistant in the toy business, but also a leader with independent ability." ”

Ke Yanping knew that the boss was delegating power to him, after all, the boss had so many careers, and it was impossible for him to do it himself in every industry, and it was already very powerful to be able to give everyone a bright light and guide the general direction.

"Okay, I'll definitely do more and share the boss's worries!"

For the toy industry, Lin Zhichao still attaches great importance to it, but it is impossible for him to spend too much energy on it, so it is more about cultivating the ability of his subordinates. And he, of course, is the role of advice.

A classic toy project is more about cultivating IP, such as Barbie. Even if it is a patented Rubik's Cube, it needs to be considered to be accepted by the market, more people will participate, and more parents will feel that this product is beneficial to the development of intelligence; This requires organizing competitions, making big announcements, etc.

After that, Lin Zhichao came to the Yangtze River Plastic Factory and visited the plastic flower laboratory accompanied by Tao Derong. There are seven technicians involved in the project, all of whom have signed three-year labor contracts and technical confidentiality contracts.

"Boss, through our research and research, we have formulated three major directions for plastic flowers - the first is formula matching, the second is molding combination, and the third is style variety." The project team leader, Cheng Guangpu, is a Chinese and a veteran plastic talent of Changjiang Plastic Factory, and he seriously reported the progress of the project.

Cheng Guangpu felt that he had obtained a great opportunity this time, and there were 2 foreigners in this project, which shows the importance of the boss.

Lin Zhichao heard that Cheng Guangpu was full of confidence, so he asked: "Within half a year, can you understand the technology thoroughly?" ”

When Cheng Guangpu heard this, he said without hesitation: "No problem!" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, and said: "Manager Tao, you have to work closely with the R&D team to provide some data, such as what kind of flowers do Europeans like?" What kind of flowers do North Americans like? What kind of flowers does Hong Kong like? According to these market research, different colors and styles of 'wax samples' are produced, and then go to the market to investigate them, and after confirming that they are correct, they will be produced in a targeted manner in the future. ”

"yes, I see!" Tao Derong said seriously.

He knew that once the plastic flower was successfully developed, the daily necessities production business of the Yangtze River Plastic Factory would be cut, because the boss had not cared about this business for a long time.

Therefore, if he wants to gain the status of the group, he must achieve great success in the 'plastic flower'. And 'plastic flower' is a world-class 'product to fill the gap market', once successful, Changjiang Plastic Factory will gain huge economic benefits and reputation.

After that, Lin Zhichao and everyone learned about the specific situation of the research and development of plastic flowers.

Although he has no intention of joining, he must understand it clearly.

"Boss, this is the list of materials taken this time, can you take a look?" Lu Bensheng, general manager of Yangtze River Trading, handed over a document and said respectfully.

Although he couldn't stop rejoicing in his heart, he didn't dare to get carried away and ask for credit in front of the boss.

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then opened the information.

"Nissan 235 jeeps, 18 cranes, 26 bulldozers, 21 mountain openers (stone crushing). The total auction price is 3.6 million Hong Kong dollars! ”

Cheap, really cheap!

Lin Zhichao only calculated in his heart and found that this batch of goods had a profit of at least three million.

"Is the shipping thing settled?"

"The ship arranged by Global Shipping said that it could be arranged by the way, and an internal price of 80,000 Hong Kong dollars was charged."

A liberty wheel can hold 2,840 jeeps, 260 medium tanks or 440 light tanks, 230 million rounds of ammunition, and large equipment such as aircraft, tanks, and locomotives can be tethered on the deck, which is enough to arm a light armored brigade or motorized infantry brigade.

Therefore, with more than 200 jeeps, global shipping can indeed be easily arranged, even if the ship is on long-term lease.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao said: "These machinery and equipment that can be used in real estate, you will sell them to Cheung Kong Industrial." As for jeeps, have you thought of sales channels? ”

Lu Bensheng said lightly: "As long as we release the news, this batch of goods will immediately become a hot item." Like this jeep, Hengchang Trade, Jiehe Car Dealership, etc., I am afraid that they are rushing to get it. No matter how much it is sold at the Aomen, merchants in Southeast Asia will also buy it. When you arrive at the port, you can basically sell out! As long as everyone knows that we have the 'approval' in our hands, they will only compete to contact us in the future. ”

That's right, parallel imports are too profitable, and there is no tax here in Hong Kong!

Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "Good job, you will be rewarded at the end of the year!" ”

Lu Bensheng hurriedly said modestly: "It's just running errands, if it weren't for the boss's connections, everything would be impossible." Those who envy our 'approval' are afraid that there is nothing they can do! ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Not necessarily, there are always people who are well-informed, you underestimate other Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong too much." Of course, we don't expect this business to make a fortune, you have to grasp the degree. If you are not familiar with the materials, don't raise the price or anything, in short, it is a part-time job, not your own job. ”

Lu Bensheng said on his face: "I understand! ”

Changjiang Trade is the guarantee of raw materials for the entire Changjiang Industrial Group, and he certainly understands the importance of it.

Following.

Cheung Kong's conference room, where all senior executives gathered.

Huang Changhong, deputy general manager and engineering department, Hu Zhaoxu of marketing and sales department, Zhou Fuzhao of finance department, Chen Xu of development department, etc., are a total of more than a dozen management. In fact, there are more than a dozen employees.

The main reason is that the building system of this era is relatively simple, and many real estate companies can develop real estate projects with only a few people. Even in a few years in the era of high-rise buildings, a real estate company with more than a dozen people can still operate, and the design and construction outsourcing will do.

Only the business of local companies will become bigger and bigger, and their own organizations will become larger and larger.

It is clear that Cheung Kong is going to be ahead of the curve.

"The establishment of the seven-storey ASB project in Shek Kip Mei means that the Hong Kong government may relax the building height restriction in the next year or two. Of course, even if it is not a moment and a half, I believe that Hong Kong real estate shipping has ushered in spring. So, we have to make some preparations in advance. ”

"First, the establishment of a subsidiary, Poly Construction, my trading company purchased a large number of cranes, bulldozers and other equipment from the US military stationed in Japan, which will be supplied to Poly Construction, and then undertake business and accumulate experience."

"Second, set up a subsidiary to do the business of mining quarries, with the busy construction industry, and the quarries in Hong Kong are manual and inefficient; It just so happens that I have another batch of mountain openers, which are used to invest in the stone mining industry and improve efficiency. ”

For a while, everyone showed joy.

Cheung Kong has abundant properties and land, but it is still relatively conservative in real estate development, and can build about a dozen tenement buildings a year, which are used to support people.

Now the formation of these two subsidiaries means that the boss clearly wants to increase real estate investment.

"Manager Huang, who do you think is the most suitable general manager of the construction company?" Lin Zhichao asked Huang Changhong, in fact, he also had a candidate in mind.

Huang Changhong said without hesitation: "I recommend Paul Li, he graduated from a prestigious architecture university, and was arranged by you to study abroad a few years ago, and now it is just a big use." ”

A thirty-year-old man with glasses suppressed the joy in his heart and tried to show that he was listening to the leaders.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Okay, Paul will be the general manager of Poly Construction!" ”

Paul Li hurriedly said, "Yes, boss." I'm going to try to do it! ”

Lin Zhichao immediately asked, "What should I do?" ”

Paul Lee said: "Undertake the company's and outside projects, and build a reputation; Enhance the license of the construction company and obtain the Class C license as soon as possible; Learn more about advanced construction technology in Europe and the United States, especially the technology of high-rise buildings."

"Do it well, and the group will give you the greatest support."

"Okay"

Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction, the construction company is an A-level license, and it can only undertake small projects below 1 million. However, with the resources of Poly Construction, it can soon be upgraded to a Class B license; It is the highest C-level license, and it is also a very easy thing.

In any case, the future real estate projects of Cheung Kong will be the work of Poly Construction, and it is impossible for outsiders to do it. Even if you don't have time to meet the standard, you can invite enough level cooperation or listing, of course, this is unlikely.

It's just that design plans and plans are generally designed by hiring well-known architects or studios.

Next, Lin Zhichao said: "Regarding the stone mining company, don't worry about it first, it is still not possible to use machinery for mining rashly." Let's wait for half a year and take a look! ”

Everyone nodded, after all, the stone ore used in the tenement building is limited.

After the meeting, Lin Zhichao called Paul Li to his office and said, "You go and dig up a project manager named Lu Xiaopei and let him be our project supervisor." ”

Paul Li said: "It's a Shanghainese, right? I've heard him understand Cantonese at first, and he often affects the construction; But he can speak English and Shanghainese, so he also has an advantage. Later, he became enlightened in Cantonese, and I heard that he was quite appreciated by his boss. However, if you can invest in a large company, there is no problem in digging it. ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Well, this is for you, and your construction company will boldly recruit any talents it needs." I'm not afraid of raising it, but I'm afraid that I'm busy and short of manpower. ”

"Okay, boss!"

Paul Li also understands that Cheung Kong has bought so many properties in recent years, and the boss is waiting for the opportunity to rebuild.
