"Manager Huang, Manager Hu, you are in the company!" Li Gaofu came to the office building of Cheung Kong Industrial, and when he saw Huang Changhong and Hu Zhaoxu, he greeted him cordially, without putting on a show at all.

Although everyone used to be colleagues, he understood that without Lin Zhichao's support all the way, he might be a member of the Yangtze River Group; maybe, it is not possible to do the high-level positions of Huang Changhong and Hu Zhaoxu.

"Li Sheng, you are full of red face, it seems that you have recently sold a new real estate." Hu Zhaoxu responded with a smile.

There are some jokes and jokes in the words, as if they were in the past, and they did not flatter Li Gaofu because he was already a multimillionaire.

Li Gaofu immediately said: "Now the building is not easy to sell, the land price is expensive, where is it so easy!" However, Changjiang Real Estate has a good reputation and good reputation, and has sold a lot of real estate this year. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye and followed the staff towards Lin Zhichao's office.

Hu Zhaoxu said: "It's true that the building is not easy to sell, and the site in North Point was barely sold out in a month, which is still a 9% discount." I heard that Da United Real Estate has several real estate projects in their hands, and they are still taking out loans to buy land. ”

Huang Changhong said: "Well, now that so many real estate projects are being started outside, the supply exceeds demand!" ”

The two exchanged a few words, and then returned to their posts. They have long been accustomed to the change of Li Gaofu's identity. Li Gaofu has a great relationship with the boss, plus he is bold and dares to smuggle, and it is normal to be developed. The only thing I didn't expect was that it was too developed, and there were so many smugglers back then, and there were only a few real estate tycoons who could become real estate tycoons, only Li Gaofu, Airship Tai, Zhang Kum Kee, and Li Kangjie.

Lin Zhichao's office.

"Lin Sheng, I have already hired Zeshi Building to design the commercial land on Wing Lok Street in Sheung Wan, so I would like to ask Poly Construction to participate in the construction." Li Gaofu took a sip of tea and explained his intentions.

He is very assured that Poly Construction's real estate is his participating buildings, and he is also very satisfied with Paul Li, an architectural wizard.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that we are also rebuilding No. 10 Xuechang Street." ”

Poly Construction has made a name for itself in the industry, and in addition to the real estate of Gaofu Real Estate, it has also undertaken a lot of external real estate construction. Although it has never built a commercial building, it has a guide for the division building, and Poly Building also has a foreign architect consultant.

For general residential real estate, Cheung Kong Real Estate can already design it by itself, and there is no need for external staff to build the building.

Li Gaofu then said: "Recently, the house has not been easy to sell, and I happened to be working on two of its real estate projects while mobilizing funds to develop commercial buildings. ”

Lin Zhichao remembered that Li Gaofu had developed ten small real estate projects, and it seemed that the profit was 20 million.

"Is the property good to sell?"

"It's hard to sell! When I opened a real estate market, I only sold less than one-fifth of it in a week, and almost no one cared about it. ”

It seems that the market is saturated ahead of schedule.

Lin Zhichao sighed: "Everyone rushed in to grab food, which caused the land price to skyrocket. The land in Hong Kong and Kowloon urban areas costs 170~180 Hong Kong dollars, which is really outrageous. ”

There's not enough profit!

For Lin Zhichao, the profit of a real estate project is 100%.

Li Gaofu said: "Not only the price of land has risen, but now the price of all building materials has risen, even the price of construction workers has increased. It's good to earn 50% of a real estate down. And the more this is the case, the more ferocious some people are in their hands on the land, and it seems that they plan to 'make small profits but sell quickly'. ”

Who are some people, it is nothing more than Li Kangjie, Chen Detai and others. In the previous life, Hong Kong's real estate developers were not born with 'sharp eyes and foresight', but accumulated the lessons of their predecessors.

After chatting for a while, it was just lunchtime, and the two made an appointment to go to the teahouse for dinner.

Walking on the streets of Central, Lin Zhichao sighed: "Central will carry out a real estate business revolution, and in another 15 years, I am afraid that if high-rise buildings stand in rows, these time-honored brands will also face a crisis!" ”

He is a person who is very fond of Hong Kong history, and over the years, he has been recording with a camera, a video camera; These materials can be enjoyed in the future and used as information for their own media groups.

Li Gaofu naturally didn't have these sighs, but said: "The business of the time-honored brand is so good, even if the rent is expensive, it can survive." ”

Lin Zhichao smiled: "It makes sense! We Hong Kong people are receptive to new trends and preserve traditions. ”

However, a teahouse like Lu Yu's teahouse will face high rents and aging customers in the future; The first few can survive into the 21st century, and the others can only disappear into the dust of history.

While the two were talking, they walked into a 'Jiuji brisket'.

"Boss Pan, 4 bowls of clear soup belly!" Lin Zhichao shouted.

This beef brisket restaurant, called 'Jiu Ji Beef Brisket', whose owner's surname is Pan, has just opened this year. happened to be discovered by Lin Zhichao, and thought it was very good, so he occasionally came to lunch at noon.

The reason why it was called four bowls was not that Lin Zhichao had a big appetite, but that he followed a bodyguard and a driver, and everyone ate together.

"Okay, Lin Sheng, wait a minute!" Boss Pan said happily.

He opened last year, not to mention how happy he was for Lin Zhichao, a tycoon, to patronize, and he boasted that even a big boss like Lin Zhichao was full of praise for his brisket.

Relying on this kind of boasting, Jiuji's brisket business is really thriving, and it is crowded with people every time it comes to the meal.

It's a pity that Boss Pan doesn't know how to buy a camera, if he can hang the signboard of Lin Zhichao coming to eat on the wall, it will ensure that the business will prosper for a hundred years.

It's just a small shop, probably less than ten tables, and it fills up in a few moments.

The table has to be shared, and Lin Zhichao is also used to it.

However, the food was served quickly, and it took about six or seven minutes to serve four bowls of clear soup belly.

Lin Zhichao drank a sip of the bright white soup first, and the rich taste of beef bone soup instantly hit his brain.

"This soup is delicious, authentic beef bone soup, boil long enough!"

Li Gaofu said: "Only when the material is authentic can it be opened." His price is not cheap, the ingredients are not good, and everyone will not cheer. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, doing business is the reason, especially in this era, there is not so much technology and ruthlessness, and the soup can be purchased online to ensure that it is scary and criminal.

Sandwiched a piece of brisket, there are a lot of fascia on both sides, Lin Zhichao took a bite without hesitation, the fascia was soft and glutinous, slightly sticky to the teeth, but the taste was very good.

Brisket is only 5% of the weight of a cow, while Jiu Kee brisket takes three hours to simmer, so it won't be chewed at all.

"Keep this craft, Boss Pan, your shop is a family heirloom, a son, a grandson, from generation to generation, it is a fortune!" Lin Zhichao said with a smile to Boss Pan next to him.

When Boss Pan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Xie Linsheng praises!" I will definitely do business steadfastly, and I will never disappoint you old customers in order to save effort. ”

He had just started his business, and Jiuji Beef Brisket was a shop he borrowed money from everywhere to open it. Now that Lin Zhichao, a business tycoon, is patronizing and praised, he is immediately encouraged.

In fact, the reason why he knows Lin Zhichao is not that he is well-informed, but that every time Lin Zhichao comes to dinner, he will drive a luxury car and park at the door.

After a few times, Boss Pan knew that Lin Zhichao's identity was not simple, and Lin Zhichao did not hide anything, introducing himself as a shipping and real estate business.

Needless to say, the surname Lin, real estate, and navigation are the only ones, and Hong Kong people don't know.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao and the others concentrated on eating, and soon he ate all the beef brisket in the clear soup one night, and even the soup was clean.

This gives people the impression that Lin Zhichao is more economical.

After eating, Lin Zhichao looked at his watch and said relaxedly: "I'll go to Wufeng to buy some Moutai, do you want Brother Gao Fu to come along?" ”

Li Gaofu nodded and said, "Well, I just happened to buy some too!" ”

Afterwards, the two drove to the Wufeng Hong store. This company is a subsidiary of Huayan, mainly engaged in the sales of fresh food in the mainland, and is also an export agent of Moutai.

Lin Zhichao bought a lot of Moutai, which was out of his impression of Moutai in his previous life, so in addition to drinking some of it, he also cellared a lot of 'Golden Wheel' Moutai in the fifties. As for the Feitian brand, Moutai has not yet been registered!

At this time, the export situation of Moutai is not optimistic, because there is another five-pointed star on the packaging, which is regarded as 'export' overseas; others will think that they will drink a wine and listen to your output, which must be unhappy.

So if nothing else, in another year or two, the Feitian brand should also come out, and then the packaging will be changed, and it will be easier to open the overseas market.

After all, one ton of wine can be exchanged for 40 tons of steel, so why not sell it well!

Shau Qi Bay.

Li Jiacheng watched the plastic machine produce two-color plastic flowers, and the look on his face was very excited. He knows that as long as Changhe Plastic Factory is the second to develop two-color injection molding, the annual output value can be doubled or even tripled.

Last year, the annual profit of Cheung Wo Plastic Factory reached nearly 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was five times the profit when it only produced daily necessities and toys in the past. It was the plastic flower that saved him and gave him hope of marrying his cousin.

Of course, with an annual profit of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, he is still not very satisfied, and he is eager to make an annual profit of one million Hong Kong dollars.

Li Shulin said happily: "Brother Cheng, we should be qualified to enter the European and American markets now, right?" ”

Up to now, almost all of the products of Changhe Plastic Factory are in the Southeast Asian market and the local market, and only 2 small wholesalers in Europe and the United States have purchased them.

Everyone knows that European and American wholesalers attach great importance to strength and reputation, and it is obvious that Changhe plastic factory is unqualified. In particular, Hong Kong's largest plastic flower factory, Cheung Kong Plastic Factory, is the first choice in this industry, and many European and American wholesalers will choose them.

Li Jiacheng said: "No problem! At present, we are the second in Hong Kong to master the two-color injection molding method, you see the quality of this plastic flower, absolutely welcomed by the market. ”

Li Shulin nodded, and then said worriedly: "It's the old point of plastic machines, and many merchants have this kind of whisper." ”

Although Li Jiacheng also has this concern, what he is thinking about now is not to replace the machine, but to increase production and expand the scale. If he can make a million a year, he will consider moving to a new factory and buying some better second-hand machines.

"One step at a time! Do things in a down-to-earth manner! Moreover, we use used machines to produce products that are comparable to new machines, which is the skill, and others will praise us for our good management. ”

At this time, Li Jiacheng only accounted for 60% of the shares of Changhe Plastic Factory, and the rest were owned by relatives. Fortunately, after last year's experience, everyone is completely relieved and trusts Li Jiacheng.

A week later.

Lin Zhichao sat in the office of the Yangtze River Industrial Group, and Tao Derong from the Yangtze River Plastic Factory came in to report on his work. He has rarely managed the plastic flower and wig industry, but it does not mean that the two general managers do not report to work; If you are really so ignorant, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be the general manager of the subsidiary.

The Yangtze River Plastic Factory continued to perform well in the first quarter of the new year, and did not see a decline, Lin Zhichao guessed that it was not a problem for plastic flowers to be popular for more than 5 years.

Of course, not being popular does not mean that the industry is disappearing, it just means that there is no longer growing demand, and the real 'disappearance' should be after the oil crisis, when the market gradually abandoned this oil derivative.

"Boss, Changhe Plastic Factory has also developed a two-color injection molding method, and I heard that it has also begun to ship two-color plastic flowers!" Tao Derong said a digression.

He remembered that the boss was a little concerned about Changhe Plastic Factory, and he guessed that it might be because when the plastic factory was named, he deliberately touched the porcelain Yangtze River Plastic Factory.

Lin Zhichao raised his head and asked, "What is their scale?" ”

Tao Derong said: "It is said that there are only dozens of people, and they earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. ”

Lin Zhichao thought about it in his mind, in his previous life, Li Jiacheng only entered the plastic flower industry this year, and he also earned his first million, and he made millions the following year.

Now, he has developed a two-color plastic flower, and the maximum of one million is the limit. As a result, a 12-storey industrial building could not be built in the late fifties.

It can be said that once the time is missed, Li Jiacheng will only have to wait for the banking crisis in 1965, because at that time the real estate will also plummet.

As a result, Li Jiacheng's worth at that time was only a few million, less than 10 million. This bit of wealth can't afford to make waves at all.

No more competitors!

Lin Zhichao thought about the problem like this, but still said: "Since there is a second factory developed, let's give our technical guidance to its cooperative factories." ”

Tao Derong nodded and said: "Even if we don't guide, it is estimated that there will be a third and fourth, and then it will be regarded as a treasure, and there is no need. ”

He didn't think much about it, knowing that the boss still cared a little about his influence in the industry, after all, with the current identity of the boss, he paid a lot of attention to those reputations.

After Tao Derong left, Lin Zhichao smiled.

Li Jiacheng needs to be honed!

In fact, no matter how much you hone it, it's useless. For example, he earned 5 million Hong Kong dollars before 1965, and this money was invested in real estate, and he couldn't make waves at all.

And in his previous life, he was worth more than 30 million at that time, and he made money from plastic flowers.

It's really not an opponent anymore!

Lin Zhichao tried hard to wipe out the thoughts in his mind, and all along, he tried to weaken his opponent in advance, so as not to have fierce competition in the future. In this way, everyone will not have contradictions, and it is very good!

The other side.

The Suez Canal began to be dredged in early April, and shipping prices began to plummet. Of course, shipping prices are still better than before the Suez crisis.

Lin Zhichao guessed that it is expected that it will be two years before it will really enter the small cold winter of shipping - low freight and little business.

Bao Yu was able to add three ships at this time. In addition, without the full help of HSBC, Lin Zhichao has made a name for himself in the Japanese business community.

Bao Yugang is not an opponent anymore, in the early eighties, it was already the sky to have two or three million loads.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao's competitor in shipping is only himself.

It's just to keep expanding shipowners. (End of chapter)
