The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Li Ming had already thought about the plan to build a new factory when he first planned to build a family factory.

"I will set up the 50 newly recruited people into a small factory with just a name, and then merge it with the processing factory into one factory."

"The 400 people in the back also operated in the same way, so it was reasonable for them to pay."

Qin Huairu felt that a new and vast world had opened up, "Is this possible?"

Li Ming smiled and asked: "Who can stand up and say no now?"

"Industrial Bureau? No, it should be called the Industrial Group now. Wait until the Industrial Group clarifies the internal affairs of their unit before speaking out."

"When I operate this way, I pay attention to fairness and justice. People in our factory will definitely have no objection."

Notices requesting resumption of work are issued again and again, but everyone still goes their own way.

Some have resumed work, some have resumed partial work, some have resumed work and then stopped, some have resumed work, stopped and then resumed work, and some have never resumed work.

There are all kinds of them, no one can tell clearly.

The Provincial Committee has streamlined its subordinate agencies and units. Many business departments have only a few employees left, and they have to participate in labor frequently.

It is feasible in the county seat. There are not many business units in the first place. After streamlining, even if there are only a few people, they can still manage it. The previous business department was indeed too bloated.

There are many enterprises and units in big cities. It is impossible to manage things like this. They are extremely busy every day.

If there is a shortage of people to do things, more people should take care of things and reduce the business volume; otherwise, add more people.

It's not enough to take care of things less. You can only slowly add more people later.

There are precedents, and the examples are very new.

After being streamlined and decentralized, the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences had only 62 people in the institute at the end of 28.

In 63, there were 45 people added, and by 65, the number had reached 105.

Two years later, there was another streamlining and decentralization process, and it was quickly resumed.

Reciprocating cycle.

The newly established small factory was merged into the processing plant. The process seemed to be very legal, but Qin Huairu felt that it was not very safe.

"Why don't you first ventilate the entire factory?"

Li Ming said it was easy and simple, but he was very cautious in actual operation, "That's for sure."

"I will come up with this plan after I have done their ideological work first."

"As I told you just now, I need to sort out my head first, and I won't be recruiting people for a few days."

Doing the same thing may not be done just because the steps are wrong or the attitude is wrong.

Seeing that he was doing things in an orderly manner, Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Then I'll be relieved."

"I want ice cream. I want strawberry flavor."

Li Ming rolled his eyes at her. There was a cup of chilly strawberry-flavored ice cream on the table, and a wooden spoon was ready.

Qin Huairu picked it up and put it in her hand, "On such a hot day, eating ice cream to cool down makes people feel more energetic."

"It's a pity that it's not suitable for them to eat."

Li Ming prepared a cup for himself and said perfunctorily: "Children will easily get stomachaches if they eat such cold food. Then you will feel very distressed."

Qin Huairu said while eating: "It should be okay if you eat a little."

"Then go and buy it. If you buy some food like this now and then, no one in the courtyard will suspect that your money comes from improper sources."

"Wait until the holidays are over before buying them to prevent them from developing the bad habit of spending money indiscriminately."

Qin Huairu's stingy habit probably cannot be changed, and many people cannot change it in their lifetime.

After eating the ice cream, Qin Huairu went back to purchase Sanke.

She is now specifically responsible for replacing ham sausages with pork from her brother's unit, and the sales of other ham sausages are handled by people from the processing plant.

Nothing happened in the afternoon. Li Ming made tea and read the newspaper.

There should be nothing going on in Hong Kong City today, so he didn't bother to go there.

The third war in the Middle East, which started on June 6, is still very famous, so he spent the whole day in Hong Kong City yesterday.

At noon yesterday, Hong Kong City received news that in the morning local time in the Middle East, the air forces of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan were attacked and completely defeated.

Due to the 65-year bank run in the port city, coupled with the recent situation involving such a big thing as the Suez Canal, the stock market has not seen any fluctuations.

After all, the stock market, which has been plummeting for three years, has little room to fall further, and it is even more difficult to rise.

Now there is only one Hong Kong City Association controlled by Ying Guoguo. The listed companies are all foreign-funded companies. There are only about 50 stocks in total, and the trading volume of the stock market is not large.

In the next two years, there was the ‘Far East Club’, in 71 there was the ‘Gold and Silver Club’, and in 72 there was the ‘Kowloon Club’. Three Chinese-controlled exchanges were established one after another.

A large number of Chinese-owned companies have gone public, and opportunities to make money in the stock market have emerged.

Li Ming had already thought about it. When the stock market crashed, he would buy a bunch of shares of well-known companies and enjoy the benefits of annual dividends and rising stock prices in the future.

1774.64 points fell to 150 points.

For example, the Li family's Cheung Kong Holdings fell by 94%, leaving the entire company with a market value of only HK$1.9 million and a price-to-book ratio of 0.4 times.

Companies that are operating steadily are in such a miserable state, and companies that are even worse are everywhere. The entire Hong Kong stock market is full of penny stocks that are not as cheap as cabbage.

When he takes advantage of this wave, it is equivalent to a group of elites making money for him to support his investment in industries that are capital-intensive, technology-intensive, and have long-term returns.

Of course, these are all plans for three or four years from now.

Li Ming is now making tea, reading newspapers, doing research and development, and slowly accumulating strength.

"A bumper harvest of summer-maturing crops in the suburbs of Shanghai is a foregone conclusion. The average yield per mu of wheat, rapeseed, etc. has exceeded last year. We are racing against time to carry out summer planting and precise management of autumn-maturing crops."

‘Nearly 4 cadres, teachers and students from Shandong Province and Jinan City actively responded to the call to ‘seize lives and promote production’ and went to the suburbs of Jinan in batches to help members harvest wheat. ’

‘The 250 million acres of summer crops that are about to be harvested in the suburbs of Beijing are generally growing well and are expected to yield a better harvest than last year. ’

It’s the busy farming season again, and everyone everywhere is busy with summer harvesting, summer planting, and summer hoeing.

Other places don't know for the time being, but Li Ming is quite satisfied with his small contribution to the bumper harvest in the suburbs of the capital.

‘Kyongseong University enthusiastically carried out the ‘Loyalty’ activity. ’

Li Ming clicked his tongue. Such activities began to pop up. It's hard to say who was the first to propose it.

The masters are among the people, and the wisdom of the masses is infinite.

Unlike yellow mud, which replaces paste, it can save a lot of food.

He didn't intend to get involved in these activities, so he just went with the flow and made do with it.

Li Ming had no objections to the statue that was under construction at the gate of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

On the contrary, in order to speed up the meeting and waste less of his time, he also took the initiative to make suggestions and put forward the 12.26-meter idea.

Port city.

Li Ming thought there was nothing wrong today.

In fact, something happened, and the impact on Xingchen Company was not small.

Ring ring ring ring ring.

"Hey?"

"Chairman? I'm Ni Xiu." The deputy manager of Mars Trading. The sound didn't sound like a good thing. Lou Xiao'e cheered up and said, "It's me. What happened?"

"The workers at the port city terminal have stopped working, and our batch of goods destined for Singapore cannot be loaded."

Lou Xiao'e asked depressedly: "Didn't you say before that only Taikoo Dockyard was suspended?" The dockyard is used by the shipyard for shipbuilding, and it does not match the dock where cargo is loaded and unloaded.

Ni Xiu said on the phone: "It's not the same now. And not only our ship has stopped, but dozens of bow ships have also stopped."

Lou Xiao'e sighed and said: "Hey! Take the goods back to the company warehouse. Leave two people near the dock and pay attention to when work will resume."

Li Ming had told her to avoid trouble immediately and not to think about paying others to do things.

Xingchen Company, which offers better wages and benefits, can basically stay out of it.

If Xingchen Company dares to pay others to load and unload goods at the dock, it will be a provocation. It will rush directly to the center of the incident and make a fuss over nothing.

Ni Xiu responded: "Okay. I'll make arrangements right away."

Lou Xiao'e hung up the phone and said to her elder brother:

"The wharf is shut down, and the instant noodles we want to pay Singaporeans today are not delivered."

Because the May instant noodles lottery was held yesterday, my uncle was also staying at the Xingchen Company headquarters today.

It was originally a fun thing to just wait for the lottery winners to come to your door and perform various rituals.

Such a bad thing happened suddenly, which somewhat affected my mood.

The eldest uncle said with relief: "There is still enough stock in Xinjiapo. It will be no problem if we take a few days to deliver it."

There was nothing we could do about it after everything happened. Lou Xiaoe said with joy in her pain: "Fortunately, the vacant instant noodle production line was shipped yesterday, which will not affect our cooperation with the east coast of the Taiwan Strait."

The eldest uncle nodded and said: "We just started working together. It's the time to show our strength. We really can't let anything slip."

Half a month ago, Uni-President Enterprise came to Hong Kong City to negotiate a cooperation agreement.

Basically, the agreement was signed according to the plan drawn up by Li Ming in advance. Xingchen Company holds 70% of the shares and Uni-President Enterprise holds 30%.

The joint venture established Uni-President Xingchen. The first phase of the project has a daily production capacity of 50 pieces of noodles. The specific allocation of instant noodles depends on market response.

Xingchen Company's investment mainly focuses on technology and equipment, while Uni-President Enterprise mainly contributes working capital.

Uni-President Xingchen's chairman and general manager are occupied by Uni-President Enterprise; Xingchen Company sends a director, a supervisor, a financial officer, and a group of grassroots administrators and technicians.

If the cooperation is successful, Uni-President will eventually hold 51% of the joint venture's shares and Xingchen 49%. Both parties will have the right of first refusal when they want to resell the shares.

In addition to the instant noodles business, the ham sausage business is also what the two parties want to cooperate with in the next step.

My eldest uncle has relatively good connections with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and the east coast of the Taiwan Strait, so I asked my eldest uncle to pay more attention to this business.

"The shipment of Ribenjingcang machinery can be sent directly to Fuxiong Port. This can not only avoid the trouble of the port city but also save the freight."

Lou Xiao'e agreed: "I will ask someone to send a telegram to Jingcang Machinery later."

"I also have to prepare a telegram to the Singapore branch to let them know the situation in the port city and the sales plan should be more secure."

The eldest uncle praised: "Xinjiapo Company has done a great job and sold 20 packs on the first day it was launched. Very good results."

Lou Xiao'e's head swelled. "It's a headache to sell too well. There's not enough supply."

"It was originally expected that products would be launched on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait in July or August, but now it has been advanced to late June."

“薪加坡市场打开后估计每天要30万包的量。井仓机械在6月10号只能交付3条生产线，15号也才5条生产线。”

“Their company also doesn’t have enough equipment technicians.”

The eldest uncle said proudly: "It's thanks to the fact that when I was looking for suppliers before, I found a large machinery company."

"It is impossible for those small companies to have such supply capabilities."

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, "If they can't supply it, we will contact their machinery company, but daily maintenance is more troublesome."

"These are all small things and can be solved." The uncle is worried about the supply of raw materials.

"The big problem is that this incident affects the city's food imports. I estimate that prices will rise sharply again."

Lou Xiao'e said confidently: "Some workers support the east coast of the Taiwan Strait, and port transportation will definitely recover."

"Food is definitely a priority to import."

The eldest uncle asked again: "Did Xiao Ming participate in this matter?"

Lou Xiao'e affirmed again: "No. He is actually opposed to it. There are some things that are difficult for him to interfere with."

My uncle thought he knew some things about officialdom, but he thought that people like Li Ming and Gangcheng couldn't even urinate in a pot.

"You told us before that we could only use our own cars to get to and from get off work. We had to have someone guard our cars, and we weren't allowed to go shopping."

"I have been worried and scared for more than half a month."

"It doesn't seem very serious now. This kind of situation is not only found in Hong Kong City, but also everywhere in the world."

Lou Xiao'e also thinks this is the case, but she trusts Li Ming's judgment, "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake."

My uncle asked strangely: "By the way, is it really okay to go to a hotel or a dance club?"

This problem has been bothering me for half a month. My brother-in-law did not warn places like hotels and dance clubs. Logically speaking, such places are always prone to trouble.

Shopping should be more troublesome, but I got a warning instead.

This doesn't make sense.

Lou Xiao'e didn't know either, "You can ask Xiao Ming yourself. I don't know either."

"For safety's sake, you've been trying your best not to go out recently to socialize, and you've tried everything you can. I believe others are also trying their best to go out as little as possible."

The eldest uncle said noncommittally: "We will know the results of the Municipal Council members tomorrow. I hope all the candidates who have a good relationship with us will be elected."

"Didn't you say that Congressman Chen and Congressman Ye are far ahead?"

The eldest brother-in-law frowned and said, "Congressman Ye and Dr. Huang are 100% sure, but Councilor Chen's momentum seems to be failing. I think it's a bit uncertain."

"While drinking last night, Councilor Chen said that he might run for office again the year after next."

Half of the people are elected at a time, once every two years, for a four-year term.

Lou Xiao'e frowned and said, "Then our relationship with people who speak the vernacular is weakened again."

"Mr. IP is a purely nameless and caring person who has offended the Hong Kong government and the police force. Dr. Huang is one of the gang members."

My uncle thought it was okay. Xingchen Company was not so weak when it first opened. "Congressman Chen will introduce us to Lawyer Hu, who is very promising to win."

Congressman Chen's connections will give priority to supplying goods to factories under the name of Xingchen Company. Congressman Chen also needs to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

Only when the election comes next time will there be support.

Each takes what they need in exchange for benefits, which can also be said to be a conspiracy.

Lou Xiao'e is tired of these things, "We still need to increase investment in the Cambrian Laboratory."

“If we develop products with high technical content, we won’t have to think so much about doing business in the future.”

The uncle asked with a playful smile: "What do you think, I open a watch store?" It's a beautiful idea, the profit of watch retail is higher than that of the manufacturer.

"Have you paid off your debt?"

"There's no use keeping your money, so give it to me first."

"Huh! I'm very busy." Lou Xiao'e still remembered the small account from before. (End of chapter)
