Chapter 110 Walkman Headphone Music Tape Factory
A new neighbor came up on Baijia Road, and the neighbors around knew it immediately.

Li Zetian did not deliberately hide his identity, so they all know that he is a billionaire from the United States, the founder of Sunbird Company and Apple Company-Chronos·Li, worth at least 10 billion US dollars!
As for Li Zetian's Chinese name, few people know it, and the media always use his English name when reporting.

Billionaires were extremely rare in Hong Kong in 10, and there was no doubt that everyone knew that such a young billionaire would have a bright future and would achieve even more dazzling achievements than he has now.So that night, many people came to visit.

Li Zetian's family naturally received them warmly, and connections are actually a powerful resource.

As the saying goes, it is easier to travel when you have more friends.

And these people are not ordinary people, they are either political and economic celebrities, or wealthy people, and they have great power and influence in Hong Kong!
Qianglong does not lower the headlong, Li Zetian will still rely on them for many things in the future.

For Li Zetian, cooperation is always better than confrontation!
Any one fighting alone, the final result can only be failure!
Li Zetian understood this truth very well in his heart, so Apple chose to raise funds and introduced the Rockefeller family as a strategic partner, so as to strengthen itself with the help of allies!
The neighbors on Baijia Road in Taiping Mountain didn't stay long. They knew that Li Zetian's family had just moved here and they definitely needed to rest. They usually came to meet each other and then left. Of course, some people chatted for a while.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Chengzhi looked at the dozens of exquisite business cards on the table and couldn't help but click his tongue secretly."Any business card here would be something people outside would crave!" he said.

Li Zetian said lightly, "It's nothing, it's normal! In this world, money symbolizes status and glory! If I'm very, very rich, even if I want the business card of the President of the United States, he will be very happy to give it to me personally But if I have no money or go bankrupt, no one will pay attention to me. When I gain power, the threshold is broken;

Li Chengzhi was stunned when he heard the words, feeling that his son was older than himself, yet he would say these words!

Although Li Zetian did not live as long as Li Chengzhi, what Li Zetian experienced was not comparable to that of Li Chengzhi. How an orphan who was lonely and helpless survived in this vast world is probably beyond the comprehension and imagination of outsiders!

"Son, your thoughts are too pessimistic!"

Li Zetian shook his head and chuckled lightly: "Dad, it's meaningless if we don't discuss this. It's already late, go to bed and rest, I have to talk about business tomorrow!"

"Okay...then you go to bed earlier." Li Chengzhi said.

Li Zetian was indeed a little tired, and fell asleep as soon as he returned to the room and lay down.

There are two ordinary cars in the garage, a Volkswagen and a Ford.Early the next morning, Li Chengzhi drove a Volkswagen, and Xiao Zhixuan took Xiao Qiqi to Hong Kong to play.At the same time, I plan to help Xiao Qiqi find an elementary school.

And Li Zetian drove a Ford to meet with the officials of the Provisional Administration of Hong Kong Industrial Estates. He had already asked someone to make an appointment for him.

At noon, Li Zetian came to Tai Po Industrial Estate.Tai Po Industrial Estate is located on the reclamation land east of Tai Po New Town in the northeast of New Territories, Hong Kong. It is about 1.5 kilometers away from Tai Po New Town and covers an area of ​​75 hectares. It is the first industrial village in Hong Kong. Motorola built a factory here.

The official who met with Li Zetian was a British guy named Jim Holmes, in his 40s and very fat.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Li, I'm Jim Holmes, Director of the Hong Kong Industrial Estate Provisional Authority!" He stretched out his fat hand while talking.

"Nice to meet you, Commissioner Jim Holmes!"

Li Zetian shook hands with him and said, "My employees must have told you why I am here. Apple is preparing to release new products, so it plans to open a branch and a factory in Hong Kong, an international metropolis!"

Hong Kong is an international metropolis with extremely developed information and the most free trade port in the world. Coupled with its good infrastructure and sound legal system, it provides entrepreneurs and businessmen with a unique business environment .In addition, Hong Kong has a low tax rate and few types of taxes. There are many international organizations taking advantage of Hong Kong's tax advantages to achieve reasonable tax avoidance.Moreover, China will open up soon, and setting up a company in Hong Kong can be used as a springboard for investing in China.

"Welcome, welcome!" Jim Holmes said with a smile.

"Are there any preferential policies?"

"Of course there is. This is a preferential policy for attracting investment in Dapu Industrial Estate, especially for high-tech companies. The conditions are extremely favorable! Please take a look!"

With that said, he handed Li Zetian a document, which listed many preferential conditions.

Li Zetian took it over and looked at it carefully for a while. Compared with Taiwan's Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, Hong Kong's preferential conditions are much worse.No 5 year tax free, low interest loan.However, Hong Kong has low taxes, few types of taxes, and easy tax avoidance, which will be beneficial to Apple in the future.Moreover, Hong Kong, as an international metropolis and a port of world trade, is extremely beneficial to the spread of Walkman. Businessmen from all over the world will directly buy Walkman players from Hong Kong, thus expanding the sales of Walkman.

Li Zetian nodded in satisfaction, and immediately asked, "Is there a ready-made factory?"

"Of course! Please follow me to take a look... Tell me which one you like!"

"it is good."

Li Zetian responded.

While walking, Jim Holmes introduced: "The Dapu Industrial Estate has just been developed, and there are many factories that are still idle. You can choose one and move in immediately. May I ask Mr. Li, what scale do you need?"

Li Zetian thought for a while. He built this factory to produce not only Walkman, but also music tapes and earphones. Therefore, the scale must not be small.

"Well... I probably recruit thousands of workers, and the factory will produce several things, and the total annual output must reach at least tens of millions!"

Jim Holmes was startled when he heard this, he staggered as he walked, and nearly fell down.

"Mr. Li, are you sure you want a factory with an annual output of tens of millions?" Jim Holmes stopped and asked in a daze.

"Yes! What? Could it be that you can't do it?" Li Zetian asked lightly.

"It can be done, it can be done!!!"

Jim Holmes was agitated. At this moment, he was full of curiosity, wondering what kind of new work Apple had developed that required a factory with an annual output of tens of millions, and why he was so sure, such a The product will sell well, but if it fails to open up the market, the loss will be huge!

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Okay, then take me to see such a factory."

"Ok!"

……

Jim Holmes said that there is a factory with a production capacity of tens of millions, but in fact there is a fart, unless he spends money to build it.In the afternoon of the same day, Li Zetian went around the Tai Po Industrial Estate and finally selected three adjacent factories to produce Walkman, earphones and music tapes respectively.

However, the three factories are independently produced and operated independently, and their management is also flexible and convenient.

In the next few days, Li Zetian negotiated with Jim Holmes, trying to get more favorable terms.

Five days later, when Li Zetian showed him his Walkman tape player, the other party finally made a concession, reducing the rent and tax rate by another 10%, and providing a low-interest loan of 2.5 million US dollars with an interest rate of 500%. A factory lease agreement was signed.

"Oh my God, this thing is going to be a global hit!!!"

Jim Holmes put on the earphones, and when he heard the singing from Walkman, he was beyond shocked. Afterwards, he kept staring at Walkman, not moving away for a long time...
