Lin Zhichao came to Oriental Textile for inspection, and his father-in-law Tang Zhongyuan was enthusiastically accompanied.

Oriental Garment Factory is also a subsidiary of Oriental Textile, and now Oriental Garment Factory is a "big mother", and the benefits are better than Oriental Textile. Because of this, in Tang Zhongyuan's heart, his son-in-law is simply his 'great nobleman'.

On the playground, Lin Zhichao looked at two industrial buildings standing, with a factory area of 250,000 square feet, which is definitely a large factory in Hong Kong.

"Father-in-law, you are a weaver, and it is very difficult to use water, right?"

Speaking of this, Tang Zhongyuan said with a wry smile: "This is the biggest problem, sometimes I will be awakened by 'lack of water' when I dream. Everyone had to try their best to get water, pump it from the mountains, and then pull it to the factory by car; Or hire someone to carry water from the mountain, once 4 cents, pick it down the mountain and pour it into the waterwheel, in short, all kinds of methods must be used. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, Hong Kong's water has always been difficult, and there are always queues in front of the outdoor tap built by the government to fetch water; In order to fetch water, various conflicts often occur among citizens.

'Downstairs water roar', 'downstairs water roar', every tenement building will have such a sound. Because if the first floor is always watered, the floors above the second floor will not be watery or small. For this reason, even some residents on the first floor will use water for profit, and of course the conflict with the upstairs is essential.

The people of Hong Kong have become accustomed to this situation, and although it is difficult to use water, it will not be without water. In 1951, the Hong Kong government spent HK$125 million to build the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir, which accounted for half of the total water storage capacity of all other reservoirs.

As for the water supply in the hinterland, that was 10 years later, coinciding with the nine-month drought of that year.

Although Hong Kong's water supply is tight, it does not affect the rich, and the water supply in the mid-levels is all spring water from Taiping Mountain, and the quality is very good.

When he arrived at the garment workshop, Lin Zhichao not only sighed - there are so many people. Textile and garment is a major employer, and Oriental Garment Factory has grown to a garment factory with more than 800 people, becoming one of the largest garment factories in Hong Kong.

"I heard that my father-in-law has already brought the product into the UK, do you have many orders at present?" Lin Zhichao asked.

"It's not bad, accounting for 15% of the total orders, we Oriental Textile is the first garment company in Hong Kong to enter the UK, so compared to other garment factories, it is a pioneer. Of course, our most orders are still South Africa, followed by Southeast Asia. On the whole, the development prospect of the garment industry is greater, and the added value is higher than that of textiles. Half of my current energy is in the garment industry. Tang Zhongyuan said happily.

He knew that if his son-in-law hadn't given up the garment industry to him, he would still be doing the textile industry wholeheartedly. His son-in-law either didn't know the prospects of the garment industry, or simply gave him a money-making industry, which was his idea.

Lin Zhichao then said: "According to the extent of dumping of Japanese products, Europe and the United States will have to restrict Japanese textiles sooner or later, and we in Hong Kong will undertake a large part of the orders. So, weaving and ready-to-wear are just getting started, and there's a lot of opportunities ahead that you can take advantage of. ”

Tang Zhongyuan sighed: "This is nature! Oriental Textile already has industry advantages, and it should move forward bravely. You don't know, several textile factories of the Rong family have various problems because of old equipment, and now they are a little unable to keep up with the development needs. ”

This is the case for textiles, equipment upgrading is very powerful, and as soon as new technology comes out, it is a big blow to the old technology. Among the current textile mills in Hong Kong, the textile mills of Wang Tongyuan and Tang Bingyuan are the top in the industry, and when it comes to Nanfeng, which has just entered the industry this year, and Nanlian Textile, which has merged, won the first place.

The equipment of the Rong family was purchased after World War II, and it has been seven or eight years since now, and it is normal for the equipment to be old.

Tang Zhongyuan is dedicated to textiles, and his favorite thing is to research new technologies and equipment, so he is very willing to invest. With the support of the son-in-law's order, it is impossible to lose money.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao inspected the production of clothing for 'Bier Lily dolls', not to mention that they are very small (Bier Lily is 11.5 inches, that is, 30 cm dolls, and another is 7.5 inches), but the number is huge.

Picking up a princess dress, Lin Zhichao said seriously: "Father-in-law, you have to pay attention to these doll clothes, after all, they are exported to Europe and the United States, and the quality must be passed." Importantly, these dolls only dare to start, and the sales in the later period may be millions of pieces a year. ”

Tang Zhongyuan immediately said: "You can rest assured about the quality, the same as the quality of ready-to-wear in Europe, America and Japan, we are strictly focusing on production." ”

A lot of fabrics are imported from overseas, which makes Tang Zhongyuan understand that the quality must be good.

Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction, he came today to give his father-in-law a vaccination, doll clothes are something he attaches great importance to, if there is a quality problem, he will not take into account the feelings of Weng and his son-in-law, one yard to one yard.

When he returned to the Yangtze River Industrial Park, Lin Zhichao drove an 'all-sky roof jeep' to inspect the factory, which became a beautiful scenery in the factory area; this time, four of the more than 200 parallel jeeps were left by Lin Zhichao to the Changjiang Industrial Group for official business in the factory.

Military jeep ignition was done in a very primitive 'tractor-style' style, with a tool inserted into a hole in the front of the jeep and then stirred up until the engine was started. The jeep has two seats, and there is a cargo compartment at the back, which can put goods or sit people, and there is a spare tire and oil pot with the car. The whole jeep gives people the impression that it is very tough and stylish, whether it is pulling goods or people, it is very good.

After a lap, it was already close to the end of work.

Lu Bensheng of the Yangtze River Trade found Lin Zhichao and reported a message: "Boss, Yoshida Ichiro told us that there is a businessman named Lu Zhihe in Hong Kong who is also seeking approval for the purchase of war surplus materials. ”

Lin Zhichao asked casually: "What does he mean by telling us about this?" ”

I got a generous benefit fee last time, so I don't need to be so attentive!

Lu Bensheng said: "What he said means is that if we have one more competitor, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous, after all, it is an auction!" If we have other ideas, we can give him a sum of money to make things yellow. ”

Lin Zhichao understood, this Yoshida Ichiro has a big appetite!

Of course, for Yangtze River Trade, this batch of materials made a net profit of 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars; As long as you come three or four times a year, you will have a profit of nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

It is no wonder that in the early 60s, Lu Zhihe dared to win the mining rights of Anderson Daya Stone Mine with a bid price of 160 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, it is also because of bank loans and family capital participation.

"If he can do it without knowing it, we will naturally be willing to pay a sum of money to monopolize this business in Hong Kong. Moreover, as far as I know, this Lu Zhihe had previously participated in the smuggling of auto parts in the mainland, and if the US Consulate had been informed, I am afraid that this procurement approval would not have been issued. Let's do this, through this procurement, I also think that this international trade can be done. ”

It's all so profitable, and if he doesn't feel moved, isn't he a fool!

Moreover, he is also very jealous of the quarry business in Hong Kong, which is no less than the cement business. After the stone is crushed, it can be used in all aspects of construction such as concrete and asphalt roads.

So, one less competitor, why not!

Lu Bensheng nodded happily and said, "I understand!" ”

He thought that the boss would have some scruples, after all, the boss attaches great importance to reputation, and now it seems that the boss is also very interested in this business. In Lu Bensheng's view, not to mention that this obstacle to the opponent is nothing, even the most ruthless means can be used.

Of course, if the U.S. Consulate learns that Lu Zhihe has been involved in smuggling, it will not give approval.

After Lu Bensheng left, Lin Zhichao knocked on the table.

With the prosperity of real estate, Hong Kong's demand for cranes, bulldozers, mountain openers and other machinery is getting higher and higher, so after these machines are pulled to Hong Kong, they are in short supply. He can not only be used by Poly Construction, but also sold to other construction companies, which can be regarded as a contribution to the construction industry in Hong Kong.

It's a good business, and you can make one or two million in two years!

Calvin Seriously!

But still cheekily begging for a wave of monthly passes!
