Chapter 212: Superman Idol
In just three days, all 858 residential units in Mandarin San Estate were sold out, making the news a headline for the media across Hong Kong.
The sales of 858 residential units were HK$30.5 million, and the down payment received HK$9.15 million (30%), which suddenly gave Cheung Kong a lot of cash. Of course, Cheung Kong will not embezzle these funds and will use them for construction costs and other expenses.
In the conference room of Cheung Kong Industrial, Lin Zhichao is having a meeting with the executives, and his real estate company already has hundreds of employees and is expanding rapidly.
"We now have a total of seven sites, especially the building of Wenhua New Village, and the engineering work can be done carefully. Ensuring quality and progress is the guarantee of our reputation, and doing real estate is not a few years, but a long-term cause. This is also the reason why others may not need a million construction costs for a building, but our construction cost is 10~20% higher. ”
There are good and bad building materials, and some people like to cut corners, which is obviously not Lin Zhichao's style of doing things. He knows that if the quality of the building is good, it will form a kind of reputation in the future, and Hong Kong is so big, and when everyone talks about the buildings built by Cheung Kong Industrial in the future, they immediately feel that the quality is guaranteed. According to word of mouth, in the future, many people may prefer the building built by Cheung Kong Industrial.
Huang Changhong nodded and said: "Boss, rest assured, we are our own construction company, the materials used are relatively good, and the quality must be one of the best in Hong Kong." ”
Paul Li also said: "All the buildings are constructed in strict accordance with the drawings, and Manager Huang and I often inspect the construction site, so there will be no mistakes." ”
Hearing the assurances of his subordinates, Lin Zhichao said: "Okay! Today we have only built some residential buildings, and in the future we will build first-class commercial buildings, even skyscrapers, the tallest buildings in Asia, and the world's famous buildings, so it is very important to develop a good team style. ”
Everyone was excited to hear it, as a real estate person, who doesn't want to participate in those excellent buildings! Moreover, they also believe that the boss is not a 'dream', but has the absolute strength to achieve it.
Next, Lin Zhichao discussed with everyone the things on the turf, and he must be meticulous. Since July last year, Lin Zhichao has spent more than one-third of his energy on Cheung Kong Industrial, and he usually goes to the site to inspect the work.
Of course, Huang Changhong is mainly responsible for inspecting the site. Lin Zhichao cultivated Huang Changhong, Zhou Fuzhao, and Hu Zhaoxu into the 'Three Musketeers' model of Sun Hung Kai in his previous life.
At an auditorium in Central, Hong Kong's plastic merchants came to sign in, and in a short time, nearly 100 people gathered.
Today is the day of the establishment of the Hong Kong Plastics Association, which has been conveyed to those qualified plastic traders in advance with an invitation letter; The basic condition is that the factory owner has at least 20 workers and has been engaged in the plastic industry for half a year.
Therefore, eligible plastic traders occupy half of the quota of Hong Kong plastic factories. At present, there are 200 plastic flower factories in Hong Kong, employing more than 7,000 workers in total, and the development is much faster than that of the wig industry.
Because wigs are a fixed group of people, and plastic flowers can enter thousands of households; Therefore, the plastic flower industry will continue to grow, and at a very fast pace. Wigs, on the other hand, are growing at a slower rate and at a limited rate.
Lin Zhichao, as the 'father of plastic flowers', knows everyone one by one, and he knows almost one-third, and Tao Derong, who he doesn't know, will introduce him to him, and he will take the initiative to introduce himself.
"Lin Sheng, this is Mr. Li Jiacheng from Changhe Plastic Factory, he has been in the plastic industry for six years!" Tao Derong introduced.
He seemed to remember that the boss had cared about this Li Jiacheng several times, and specially introduced it.
Li Jiacheng hurriedly said: "Hello Mr. Lin! ”
For him, Lin Zhichao is his idol, and it is precisely because of the invention of plastic flowers by the Yangtze River Plastic Factory that he can live a better life; In one year after entering the plastic flower industry, he earned money to open a plastic factory for five years, nearly 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Lin Zhichao looked at Li Jiacheng's admiring and respectful expression towards him, and suddenly wanted to laugh, not laughing at him, but smug laughter. He didn't have any hostile thoughts towards Li Jiacheng, and he never did. The reason why Li Jiacheng was robbed of the opportunity was only one of the biggest competitors; Now, he is also happy that Li Jiacheng can make some small money, because he is no longer a threat.
"Li Sheng, how big is the factory?"
Hearing Lin Zhichao's words of concern, Li Jiacheng hurriedly said: "The scale is not large, there are more than 40 workers, and the plant area is 1,000 feet. ”
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Don't worry! A trickle can also merge into a long river. ”
Li Jiacheng didn't know why, his heart ached, and soon he understood that he liked the name of the 'Yangtze River' company so much.
"Xie Linsheng encourages! You are the father of plastic flowers, and you have made an absolute contribution to the development of plastic flowers in Hong Kong, and everyone is very grateful to you! ”
"Haha, it's over! My wish is that everyone in Hong Kong has a job, and you are the ones who help me realize my wish, and I thank you. ”
The people around me have sent sycophants!
Lin Zhichao briefly chatted with Li Jiacheng for a few words, and then got to know each other one by one, but the others were just to say hello.
"Lin Sheng, I'm Tang Dingkang, there are more than 100 people in the factory, and I set up a factory in Xihuan." A businessman who could see the shrewdness at a glance took the initiative to step forward and introduce.
Lin Zhichao was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this Tang Dingkang seemed to be the fuse of '67', that is, a labor dispute occurred in his factory, which caused a major event. Of course, that kind of thing is just a fuse, and such a fuse is everywhere in Hong Kong, without him, other factories will also have it, after all, it is a special period.
"Good"
then ignored him, and then got to know everyone, and after a circle, everyone stared at Lin Zhichao.
Everyone is proud to participate in this meeting organized by Lin Zhichao, after all, this is a good thing; Moreover, Lin Zhichao is the father of plastic flowers, not only the plastic flowers invented by the Yangtze River Plastic Factory, but also the Yangtze River Plastic Factory allowed everyone to visit the factory at the beginning, which provided them with great convenience.
Next, the meeting officially began.
Tao Derong is the moderator of the meeting!
Lin Zhichao has handed over the position of president of the Wig Chamber of Commerce to Chen Linyuan, and he is the eternal honorary president; Similarly, the same is true for the Plastic Flower Association, and Tao Derong will also be trained to replace his class in the future.
In this way, Lin Zhichao can still contribute to the industry, as for saying that Lin Zhichao is for influence, it is absolutely one-sided. If Lin Zhichao was keen on influence, he would have merged the three Shunde chambers of commerce and served as the president.
Lin Zhichao really wants to contribute to Hong Kong's economy, after all, this is the future Lin Jiacheng.
"Well, then we will first elect the management of the 'Hong Kong Plastic Flower Association', first of all, we will elect and self-recommend five candidates, and then democratically elect through secret ballots to elect the president and two vice presidents, the first vote is the president, the second and third is the vice president."
Everyone was very surprised by this election, after all, Lin Zhichao should be the natural president, and everyone is absolutely convinced; But soon everyone was relieved, it was definitely like this, Lin Zhichao was definitely still the president, but it was more convincing.
After a while, the election of the president and vice president was successful, Lin Zhichao was elected president, the vice president is Qian Hanzhou, who is known as the "father of Hong Kong plastics", and the other is Tao Derong.
Because it was elected, Lin Zhichao did not plan to appoint the secretary general, Tao Derong still has prestige in this industry, Lin Zhichao originally planned to appoint him as the secretary general after being elected president if no one recommended him, and cooperate with his work.
In fact, many plastic businessmen who have received the benefits of the Yangtze River Plastic Factory greet Tao Derong, and it is completely unreasonable not to recommend him.
"I didn't expect that our two colleagues from Changjiang Plastic Factory have been recognized by everyone, and I am very grateful for everyone's trust. To tell the truth, my president has limited energy, and with the help of President Qian and President Tao, this chamber of commerce will definitely be able to run smoothly. The purpose of our chamber of commerce is to 'serve the prospects of Hong Kong plastic flowers'.The prospects of the plastic flower industry are ambitious, and the popularity of plastic flowers will endure for a long timeHong Kong plastic flowers occupy 90% of the world's share, so everyone can roll up their sleeves and do it. ”
The crowd applauded!
Many people are following the trend into this industry, they do not consider the prospects of the plastic flower industry, and they will not know, and now they are very excited when they hear Lin Zhichao's speech.
"The external conditions are very good, but we are also facing competition from local manufacturers in Hong Kong, and I encourage everyone to compete fairly, which is more conducive to the development of the entire industry. The products of plastic flowers can be updated, and the coloring technology of plastic flowers can be deeply cultivated. These are all competitions between us. ”
When it comes to internal competition, everyone also feels a sense of tension, Hong Kong people are too powerful, an industry has only been out for a year and a half, and there are already 200 factories. Yes, it's the plastic flower industry.
Although many of them have increased the variety of plastic flowers from plastic factories, they are still fast anyway.
The first meeting of the Hong Kong Plastic Flower Association was a great success, and in the evening, everyone went to the Hong Kong Hotel for dinner.
Following.
Lin Zhichao shouted Lu Bensheng of Yangtze River Trade to the office, and said: "Go and inquire about the demand for plastic particles in the Yangtze River Plastic Factory, and strive to hoard a batch of plastic raw materials, which are almost enough for half a year to a year, and put them in the warehouse." ”
It suddenly occurred to him that when the Suez Canal crisis broke out, Europe, the United States and Japan would definitely be short of oil, because transportation could not keep up; In particular, European countries such as Britain and France, which did not produce oil at this time, needed to be transported from the Middle East.
In this way, the possibility of plastic raw materials will also rise, so be prepared, and it is not without warehouses and funds.
Lu Bensheng nodded and said, "I'll arrange it right away!" But boss, should we increase the import of other materials? ”
Lin Zhichao thought for a while, and then said: "According to the company's situation, properly consider 3~6 months of reserves, it's not a big deal, just be prepared." ”
Lu Bensheng suddenly put his mind at ease, he thought that there was something urgent, something similar to the Battle of the Peninsula had happened.
"Okay"
After Lu Bensheng left, Lin Zhichao showed a smile.
After all, 90% of the world's trade is by sea, and freight rates have risen several times, so it's no wonder that raw materials don't rise.
For example, the cost of transporting a barrel of oil may be more expensive than oil; Because of the restrictions of Western countries, the oil in the Middle East is only 2.5~3 US dollars a barrel. A ton of oil is seven or eight barrels, which is only about 20 US dollars; If the Suez Canal erupts, freight rates will skyrocket, and it is normal that freight rates are more expensive than oil.
"Boss, Chen Ping has already completed all the processes of instant noodles, do you want to inspect it!" Wang Liang walked into the office and reported.
Lin Zhichao suddenly became interested and said, "Let's go, go and see the situation!" ”
Instant noodles have actually been developed a long time ago, but after all, to set up a production line, especially the machinery needs to be manufactured by Bourne Machinery, so it has been prepared for a while.
Today's Bourne Machinery has developed and grown, stretching out zipper-related machines, injection molding machines, etc., which are much better than before. Now there is an instant noodle machine, which will add another source of income. Moreover, Bourne Machinery not only produces the machinery needed in Hong Kong, but also produces other machinery for Europe and the United States. Because of Lin Zhichao's capital injection back then, it is now a higher level of development.
Subsequently, Lin Zhichao came to the 'doll noodles' workshop, where there were already more than a dozen employees.
"Boss"
"Well, how's it going?"
Chen Ping took Lin Zhichao to visit the machine that was producing instant noodles, and immediately saw that there was a steady stream of 'doll noodles' being produced. The doll face is a brand, which was named after Lin Zhichao, which is closer to the local name of Hong Kong.
"Is there any packaging, make a pack and try it?"
"Yes, we are now ready to produce and then make a name for ourselves in Hong Kong."
Lin Zhichao nodded, and then followed everyone to a table, where someone was ready to make a pack of 'chicken noodle soup' for Lin Zhichao.
"Is there a slogan ready to be promoted?"
Chen Ping immediately said: "Yes, we plan to use 'it can be cooked in three minutes' as an advertising slogan, so that the public can quickly accept it." ”
Cooked, in fact, soaked in boiling water.
I saw a staff member open the bag on the spot, then took out the dough cake and put it in the lunch box, and took out 1 packet of ingredients, which was a concentrated mixture of salt, monosodium glutamate, pepper and chicken fat. The seasoning package adopts the ready-made packaging technology of Europe and the United States, and combines the two packages of seasoning into one package, so as to save costs.
It smells very good, and in this era of 'lack of fragrance', it will definitely be a big hit.
Three minutes later, Lin Zhichao began to taste the taste, he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he would not directly say his feelings, but commented on the current social environment.
However, he is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he also thinks it is delicious.
"Yes, absolutely welcome!"
Everyone is happy, and in the eyes of the boss, it will definitely not be wrong.
In fact, the instant noodles of this era, which stand out, are 'instant noodles', which are served to those who work overtime.
"How much is the ready retail price?"
"4 Mao"
In the previous life, Nissin ramen was initially priced at 35 yen, or 10 cents, or 0.56 Hong Kong dollars.
Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "Let's get ready to go public!" Advertise more, especially on the bus body, and then add a fried egg to the photo, indicating that instant noodles and fried eggs are more reasonable. In addition, what kind of customer group we are targeting, we need to develop targeted advertising promotions. ”
Chen Ping nodded and said, "Okay."
In fact, there is no need to worry about the independent business. Doll noodles will monopolize Hong Kong's instant noodle market, and there will be no local competitors.
Another meeting was held on the spot, and Lin Zhichao left satisfied.
He doesn't worry about his subordinates not selling their lives!
Because of the 'year-end bonus system' implemented by him in the Yangtze River Industrial Group, the management of each subsidiary enjoys the opportunity of 'high rewards', taking Chen Linyuan of the Yangtze River Wig Factory as an example, he has received a year-end bonus for 12 months for two consecutive years, and his annual income has reached 40,000 Hong Kong dollars. If the subsidiary's efficiency is good, the management can get more months of year-end bonuses.
And these people are not psychologically unbalanced, feeling that they have created so much wealth for the company, because they understand that the biggest contribution is the boss, not them.
For example, the product of instant noodles, its research and development direction was directly pointed out by Lin Zhichao, which saved the team a year's effort.
