The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

"Manager Huang, Manager Hu, you are in the company!" Li Gaofu came to the office building of Changjiang Industrial, and when he saw Huang Changhong and Hu Zhaoxu, he greeted them cordially without showing off.

Although we used to be colleagues, he understood that without Lin Zhichao's support all the way, he might be a high-level member of the Yangtze River Group; perhaps, he would not be able to achieve the high-level positions of Huang Changhong and Hu Zhaoxu.

"Li Sheng, your face is full of red. It seems that you have sold a new property recently." Hu Zhaoxu responded with a smile.

There were some joking elements in the words, as if they were in the previous relationship, and Li Gaofu was not in the slightest flattery because Li Gaofu was already a multi-millionaire.

Li Gaofu immediately said: "It's not easy to sell buildings now, and the land price is so expensive, how can it be so easy! However, Changjiang Real Estate has a good reputation and a good reputation, and has sold many properties this year."

After finishing speaking, he left quickly and followed the staff to Lin Zhichao's office.

Hu Zhaoxu said: "It's true that the building is not easy to sell. The site in North Point was barely sold out in a month, which is still a [-]% discount. I heard that Dalian Real Estate has several buildings squeezed in their hands, and they are still continuing to borrow money." Buy land."

Huang Changhong said: "Well, there are so many real estate constructions outside now, the supply exceeds demand!"

The two exchanged a few words briefly, and then returned to their posts.They have long been accustomed to the change of Li Gaofu's identity.Li Gaofu has a very close relationship with the boss, plus he is bold enough to smuggle, so it is normal for him to be prosperous.The only thing I didn't expect was that it was too developed. There were so many smugglers back then. Only Li Gaofu, Airship Tai, Zhang Jinji, and Li Kangjie could become real estate tycoons.

In Lin Zhichao's office.

"Lin Sheng, I'm already hiring Zeshi Building for the design of the commercial land on Yongle Street in Shanghuan, so I want to invite Poly Construction to participate in the construction." Li Gaofu explained his purpose after taking a sip of tea.

He is very assured that Poly Construction's real estate projects are all buildings he participated in, and he is also very satisfied with Paul Li, an architectural wizard.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Okay, it happens that we are also rebuilding No. 10 Snow Factory Street."

Poly Construction has become well-known in the industry. In addition to the real estate projects of Gaofu Real Estate, it has also undertaken many real estate constructions outside.Although it has never built a commercial building, it itself has the guidance of a master building, and Poly Construction also has foreign architect consultants.

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

Li Gaofu then said: "Recently, houses are not very easy to sell. I happen to be dealing with two real estate projects under my umbrella, and at the same time mobilize funds to develop commercial buildings."

Lin Zhichao remembered that Li Gaofu also developed ten small properties, and it seems that the profit was also 2000 million.

"Is the real estate selling well?"

"It's very difficult to sell! I opened a real estate, and only sold less than one-fifth of it in a week, and almost no one cares about it."

It seems that the market is saturated in advance.

Lin Zhichao sighed: "Everyone rushed in to grab food, and the land price skyrocketed. The land in Hong Kong and Kowloon is actually 170~180 Hong Kong dollars, which is outrageous."

Not enough profit!

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

Li Gaofu said: "It's not just land that has increased in price. Now all construction materials have increased in price, and even construction workers have increased in price. It's not bad to earn 50% of a real estate project. And the more this is the case, the more aggressive some people are. It seems that they intend to 'small profits but quick turnover'."

Whoever some people are, they are Li Kangjie, Chen Detai and others.In previous lives, real estate developers in Hong Kong were not born with "sharp vision and foresight", but accumulated lessons from their predecessors.

After chatting for a while, it happened to be lunch time, and the two made an appointment to go to a teahouse for dinner.

Walking on the streets of Central, Lin Zhichao lamented: "Central will undergo a revolution in real estate business. In another 15 years, there will be rows of high-rise buildings, and these time-honored brands will also face crisis!"

He is a person who likes Hong Kong history very much. Over the years, he has been recording with cameras and video cameras; these materials can be appreciated in the future, and can also be used as materials for his own media group.

Li Gaofu naturally did not have these exclamations, but said: "The time-honored brand's business is so good, even if the rent is higher, it can survive."

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It makes sense! We Hong Kong people can not only accept new trends, but also protect traditions."

However, tea houses like Lu Yu Tea House will face the consequences of high rents and aging customers in the future; the top few can persist until the 21st century, and the others can only disappear in the dust of history.

During the conversation between the two, they walked into a 'Jiuji Beef Brisket'.

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

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

The reason why it is called Siwan is not that Lin Zhichao has a big appetite, but that everyone eats together with a bodyguard and a driver.

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

He opened his business last year. He was very happy to see such a tycoon as Lin Zhichao patronizing him. He would brag to everyone that even a big boss like Lin Zhichao was full of praise for his beef brisket.

Relying on this kind of bragging, the business of Jiuji Beef Brisket is really booming, and every meal is crowded with people.

It's a pity that Boss Pan didn't know how to buy a camera. If he could hang the sign that Lin Zhichao came to eat on the wall, the business would be prosperous for a hundred years.

This is just a small shop with less than ten tables, and it fills up in no time.

The tables have to be joined together, and Lin Zhichao is also used to it.

However, the food was served very quickly, and four bowls of clear soup belly were served in about six to seven minutes.

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

"This soup is delicious, authentic beef bone soup, boiled for a long time!"

Li Gaofu said: "The ingredients are authentic, so we can continue to open. His price is not cheap, and the ingredients are not good, so everyone will not support him."

Lin Zhichao nodded. This is the reason for doing business, especially in this era, when there is not so much technology and hard work. You can use online shopping seasoning packets for the soup, which is guaranteed to be frighteningly white and criminally fresh.

Picking up a piece of beef brisket, there were many fascias on both sides. Lin Zhichao took a bite without hesitation. The fascia was soft and sticky, but the taste was very good.

Beef brisket is only 5% of the weight of a cow, and Jiuji beef brisket needs three hours of slow cooking, so it will not chew at all.

"Keep this craftsmanship, Boss Pan, your shop is a family heirloom, passed down to sons, grandchildren, and passed down 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 quickly said, "Xie Linsheng's compliment! I will definitely do business in a down-to-earth manner, and I will never disappoint you old customers just to save effort."

He just started his business, and Jiuji Beef Brisket is a store he opened with borrowed money from everywhere.Now that Lin Zhichao, a business tycoon, patronizes and praises him, he is immediately encouraged.

In fact, the reason why he knew Lin Zhichao was not that he was well-informed, but that Lin Zhichao would drive a luxury car and park at the door every time he came to eat.

After coming down a few times, Boss Pan knew that Lin Zhichao's identity was not simple. Lin Zhichao didn't hide anything, and introduced himself as a shipping and real estate business.

Needless to say, the surname Lin, engaged in real estate, and sailing, is the only one in this family, and no one in Hong Kong knows it.

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

This gives the impression that Lin Zhichao is more frugal.

After eating, Lin Zhichao looked at his watch and said relaxedly, "I'm going to Ng Fung Hong to buy some Moutai. Brother Gao Fu, do you want to go with me?"

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

Afterwards, the two drove to Ng Fung Hong store.This company is a subsidiary of Huarun, mainly engaged in the sales of fresh food in the Mainland, and is also an agent of Moutai for export.

Lin Zhichao bought a lot of Moutai, which was based on his impression of Moutai in his previous life, so in addition to drinking some, he also stored a lot of "Golden Wheel" Moutai from the 50s.As for the Feitian brand, Moutai has not registered yet!
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 feel that they will not be happy to listen to your export after drinking a drink.

So if there are no accidents, in a year or two, the Feitian brand will come out. When the packaging is changed, it will be easier to open overseas markets.

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

Shauqi Bay.

Li Jiacheng looked very excited as he watched the plastic machine produce two-color plastic flowers.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, Changhe Plastic Factory made an annual profit of nearly 30 Hong Kong dollars, which was five times the profit when it only produced daily necessities and toys. It was the plastic flower that saved him and gave him the hope of marrying his cousin.

Of course, he is still not satisfied with a mere annual profit of 30 Hong Kong dollars. He is eager to achieve 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?"

So far, almost all the products of Changhe Plastic Factory are in the Southeast Asian market and the local market, and only two small European and American wholesalers have purchased them.

Everyone knows that European and American wholesalers attach great importance to strength and reputation. Obviously Changhe Plastic Factory is not qualified.In particular, Changjiang Plastic Factory, the largest plastic flower factory in Hong Kong, 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 can see the quality of this plastic flower, which is definitely popular in the market."

Li Shulin nodded, and then said worriedly: "It's just that the plastic machines are old, and many merchants have such criticisms."

Although Li Jiacheng also has this kind of worry, what he thinks now is not to replace the new machine, but to increase production and expand the scale.If he can earn 100 million a year, he will consider moving to a new factory and buying some better second-hand machines.

"Step by step! Do things in a down-to-earth manner! Moreover, we use second-hand machines to produce products comparable to new ones. This is our ability, and others will praise us for our good management."

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

A week later.

Lin Zhichao was sitting in the office of Changjiang Industrial Group, and Tao Derong from Changjiang Plastic Factory came in to report on his work.He has seldom managed the plastic flower and wig industries, but that doesn't mean the two general managers don't report to work; if he is really that ignorant, he might not be able to be the general manager of the subsidiary.

Changjiang Plastics Factory continued to perform well in the first quarter of the new year, and there was no decline. Lin Zhichao guessed that it would not be a problem for plastic flowers to be popular for more than 5 years.

Of course, being unpopular does not mean that the industry has disappeared, it just means that the demand will no longer increase. The real "disappearance" should be that after the oil crisis, the market gradually abandoned this kind of oil derivatives.

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

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

Lin Zhichao raised his head and asked, "How big are they?"

Tao Derong said: "It is said that there are dozens of people, and they make 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 the next year he earned several million.

Now, he has just developed a two-color plastic flower, and a maximum of one million is the limit.As a result, it was impossible to build a 50-story industrial building in the late 12s.

It can be said that once the time is lost, Li Jiacheng has to wait for the banking crisis in 1965 to enter the real estate industry, because the real estate industry will also plummet at that time.

As a result, Li Jiacheng was worth only a few million at that time, less than 1000 million.This bit of wealth can't afford to waste it at all.

No more competitors!
Lin Zhichao thought about the problem like this, but he still said: "Since a second factory has been developed, let's give our technical guidance to our cooperative factories."

Tao Derong nodded, and said: "Even if we don't guide, there will probably be a third or fourth company, and it's unnecessary to treat it as a treasure. It's just a matter of personal favor and ease the production capacity."

He didn't think too much about it, knowing that the boss still cared a little about his influence in the industry. After all, with his current status as the boss, he was very concerned about those reputations.

After Tao Derong left, Lin Zhichao smiled.

Li Jiacheng needs training!

In fact, no matter how hard it is, it will be useless.For example, he earned 1965 million Hong Kong dollars before 500. This amount of money was invested in real estate, and there was no way to make waves.

And in his previous life, he was worth more than 3000 million at that time, and he earned it all from plastic flowers.

It's really not an opponent!

Lin Zhichao tried his best to shake off the thoughts in his mind. All along, he worked hard to weaken his opponent in advance to avoid fierce competition in the future.In this way, everyone will not have conflicts, and they will be kind, very good!
the other side.

The opening of the Suez Canal began in early April, and shipping prices began to plummet.Of course, shipping prices are still better than they were before the Suez crisis.

Lin Zhichao guessed that it is expected that it will really enter the shipping winter in two years - low freight and less business.

Bao Yugang was able to add three more ships at this time.In addition, there is no full help from HSBC, and Lin Zhichao has already made a name for himself in the Japanese business community.

Bao Yugang is no longer his opponent. In the early 80s, being able to have a load capacity of 300 million was already in the sky.

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

Just keep expanding shipowners. (end of this chapter)
