Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 596: The Ship Still Sinks

Chapter 596: The Ship Still Sinks
On the road.

Wang Qingsong and Lao Liu chatted there for a while and learned about each other's current situation.

I also got to know some general situation of the other party.

These people still live in cage houses.

Before, I could live on the construction site, but after being driven out
Part of the money I earn is used for living expenses here, and part is sent back to my hometown in the mainland. After all, life is still very difficult in most rural areas in the mainland.

The car arrived at the underground parking garage of the building.

Wang Qingsong took the three of them straight to Du Wanting's company.

Liu Dazhuang and the other two were just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. After all, they had never been to such a high-end office building.

Seeing that Wang Qingsong just greeted the other party, he was let go.

Several people felt hopeful.

"Little coal ball, let's see if he can save us!"

Liu Dazhuang said in a low voice when he saw this scene.

Next to him was a dark and thin young man.

The young man nodded vigorously upon hearing this: "It's possible!"

Liu Dazhuang also followed after thinking about it.

The door opened, Du Wanting saw him and said with a smile: "Ah Xuan, how come you have time to come here?"

Then he looked at Liu Dazhuang and the others behind him, curious: "Who are...?"

Wang Qingsong turned his head and looked at them, then smiled and said, "Oh, they are fellow villagers I know. I met them when I came here before. Does our construction company still need people now? If so, let them go to work in the construction company!"

Du Wanting was stunned when she heard this.

Then he asked, "Then...what position will be assigned to you?"

The boss has already said it, how could there be no room?

Wang Qingsong looked at her expression and knew that she might have misunderstood and thought it was an arrangement for management.

He smiled and said, "There are more than 30 of them in total. They used to be construction workers. They may not have much experience, but they still have some experience."

He can help, but it would be better not to assign him to management directly.

It would be a joke if an amateur gave advice to an expert.

He can still use a small number of people to train, but he won't be able to do anything if there are too many people.

Du Wanting understood immediately and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll talk to Manager Wang. Our treatment here includes food and accommodation, but you know the living conditions. However, the company provides meals, three meals a day, all with meat dishes. The salary is settled once a month, is that okay?"

Liu Dazhuang hurriedly said, "It's no problem, as long as the money can be paid to us on time."

Hearing this, Du Wanting smiled and said, "Don't worry about the salary. Our company has no habit of withholding wages. If you agree, I'll call."

Naturally, several people agreed.

Seeing this, Du Wanting called Manager Wang from the construction department.

After a while, someone took Liu Dazhuang and others away.

"I have something else to do, so I won't take you there. You can take the bus back by yourselves!"

Wang Qingsong explained to several people.

Liu Dazhuang naturally expressed his gratitude and left the office.

After everyone left, Du Wanting looked at him and smiled, "Would you like to leave for a while? If not, how about going to have a meal? There's a new Sichuan restaurant in the building that tastes pretty good, would you like to try it?"

Wang Qingsong raised his eyebrows.

He smiled and said, "It's okay, but don't you like sweets?"

Du Wanting smiled and said, "Don't you like spicy food? And I can eat spicy food, but not too spicy. Besides, not all Sichuan dishes are spicy."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's try it later!"

His taste is generally quite balanced.

Sweet, salty or spicy is fine.

Du Wanting agreed with a smile.

Then he said, "Oh, by the way, didn't you ask me to recruit some female workers? The human resources department has contacted the people in the resettlement area to see if anyone is willing to come. I think we'll have news in the next two days."

"Well, okay, you can do it as you wish, but we need to agree on the terms first. After all, our electronics factory still needs to remain confidential for the time being."

Du Wanting smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I've explained everything."

Then he thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, I heard from Spock that several large foreign companies have come to Hong Kong Island to investigate and build factories recently. Competition may start here in Hong Kong Island in the future."

Wang Qingsong was stunned when he heard this.

This is not surprising to him at all. In the next five or six years, many large international companies will build branches here.

There are many industry giants.

For example: after Fairchild, the number of semiconductor companies such as Texas Instruments, Motorola, and NEC reached hundreds.

It doesn’t sound like much, but this is Hong Kong Island.

The place is just this big.

As for coming here, it is also because of Hong Kong's trade policy, which strongly supports semiconductors.

The reason for choosing to build the factory in Hong Kong Island is mainly due to Hong Kong Island's advantages as a free trade port and export center for consumer electronics products, as well as Hong Kong Island's cheap and abundant labor resources.

But he soon stopped being so nervous.

In the future, Spock could develop the semiconductor factory into the largest semiconductor factory in Asia.

If there are no major problems in this life, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Of course, the endorsement of Fairchild Semiconductor is also a very important reason.

But he felt that it shouldn't be a big problem.

He collected his thoughts and smiled: "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. There's nothing we can do about it. We just need to do our best."

Du Wanting smiled when she heard that.

He thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, the French jewelry store you asked me to acquire has been completed. Here are the documents."

Open the locked drawer casually.

Take out a document and give it to him.

Wang Qingsong took it, looked at it, and said with a smile: "He knows me, but I don't know him!"

He returned the file.

Du Wanting laughed when she heard this: "I know, I'm just telling you."

Then he began to introduce: "This company called Hill is very small. The company that my ancestors once ran was one of Queen Victoria's royal jewelers. It was also glorious for a while, but then the founder died unexpectedly, and his children were not good at running the business. They were unable to innovate, so they were gradually eliminated, and this generation is even worse.

This time our people went to make the purchase and it went quite smoothly, 296 million francs, which is roughly equivalent to 60 US dollars.

The price is acceptable, but the designers there are unwilling to come.”

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "What's the big deal? You said that this brand is now in decline, so it doesn't matter whether the designer comes or not."

What’s important is the brand; it doesn’t really matter whether the designer comes or not.

He does not deny that many talented designers are not necessarily in big companies.

However, as a former royal jeweler, the company is on the verge of bankruptcy, which probably shows that its level is not that good.

If there really is a big shot, you will miss it if you miss it.

Du Wanting smiled when she heard that.

He said, "Okay! Anyway, I bought it according to your requirements and have completed the registration and filing in Hong Kong Island.

In total, this company has a history of 110 years since it became the royal jeweler. However, the founder of this jewelry company has only been around for more than 150 years, a total of years.”

Wang Qingsong thought about it for a moment and said with a smile, "Okay, a century-old heritage and a royal jeweler, these two titles are enough."

Not as good as those from hundreds of years ago, but good enough.

Then he smiled and said, "Well, now that we have the company, you can also take over the jewelry that your mother got. If you don't take it now, you won't be able to get it back."

The jewelry he asked Du Wanting's mother to make has come out.

However, since it was not ready yet, he did not take it and asked the other party to make a few more sets.

After all, it is not a good idea to show it to the public at this time, so as to avoid being copied in advance.

However, from Du Wanting's words, it can be heard that the other party is very satisfied.

She wanted to put it on her counter to sell, but he refused.

He also wants to build a brand!

How can you sell it casually!
As for future plagiarism, this is not something he can solve. Plagiarism of jewelry designs is very common.

But those rich people are more concerned about brands.

Du Wanting laughed when she heard this: "Aren't you afraid of offending your mother-in-law? She is not satisfied with you in the first place."

Wang Qingsong chuckled.

Then he asked, "How about the matter I asked you to find out? The price and current situation of foreign luxury goods."

When selling things, you must compare the prices with those of big brands.

He searched for some major international brands from later generations to use as a reference for pricing.

This is why he took some watches but did not decide on the price.

If it’s too expensive, it won’t work. If it’s too cheap, it won’t work either.

There has to be a limit.

As for now, although Hong Kong Island has begun to develop, it has not yet fully developed.

There are not many international luxury brands entering Hong Kong Island for the time being.

The first large-scale entry was probably in the late 1970s. Some are entering the market now, including Rolex.

Du Wanting hummed: "I found it, it's on the last few pages. Of course, this is just a reference. After all, the materials used for each item are different, and the prices are different."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingsong turned to the last few pages of the document.

This is translated.

There are many luxury brands listed above with prices.

For example: Cartier's 14K pure gold women's watch: $500!

Wow, it’s made of pure gold. I guess the gold costs more than a hundred dollars.

Of course, this is a regular model, famous simply because of its gold.

Not the highest end.

High-end ones start at two thousand dollars.

The price of customized products is different for each item.

2000 U.S. dollars is not a low price. After all, the average salary of an ordinary person in the United States is only two or three hundred dollars.

That’s nearly a year’s salary.

This is a big American’s annual salary.

It is true that if you close the store for three years, you can make enough money for three years after you open it.

Of course, there are also ordinary mass-produced models, which cost about $200, so many Americans can still afford them.

After flipping through it for a while, he finally collected his thoughts.

He smiled and said, "Then I'll take this price list and refer to it. When the time comes, you can get the things from Auntie and the watches can be marked and sold."

It’s a pity that there is no jewelry design major in Hong Kong Island, otherwise it would be nice to recruit a few people to liven up the scene.

But now with the Hill brand, this isn't something that came out of nothing.

Du Wanting agreed after hearing this.

"Okay! Got it."

After saying that, he thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, the coffee at the Sweet Cafe downstairs tastes good. Their cafe's new coffee is not even available at the Peninsula Hotel's cafe."

As the most upscale hotel in Hong Kong Island, the cafe inside is naturally of high quality.

But this newly opened cafe has some coffee that is not even available at the Peninsula Hotel.

It tastes pretty good.

But after hearing this, Wang Qingsong felt embarrassed.

It was he who arranged for the shop to remain.

Even if Du Wanting doesn't pay much attention to the rental situation of the building, she will know something about it.

It's not surprising to find out about Axia's situation.

Retracting his thoughts, he looked at Du Wanting's interested expression and smiled naturally, "Oh, that was the first friend I met when I first came to Hong Kong Island. We knew Achen and Xiaoying in the mainland.

At that time, Achen was at his relative's house. I came here and didn't speak the language, so she helped me a lot.

Just in time, she had the idea of opening a coffee shop, so I asked her to come and try it out.”

Du Wanting heard this with a suspicious expression on her face: "Is it true? I saw that Miss Chen is very beautiful. Although she is not as beautiful as Miss Lin in the store, but not by much."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong was stunned for a moment.

Good guy.

This woman came to cheat him without even knowing the enemy's situation?
its not right!
What does it mean to cheat him?

It seems like there was nothing going on between him and Axia!

What am I afraid of!

He collected his thoughts and smiled, "You probably don't know yet! I also forgot to tell you that Miss Chen is the daughter of the fishmonger Chen. She invested in this shop to test the waters."

This seems to be true.

His big boss, apart from him, is naturally Chen Shuli.

Of course, Axia's proportion is not much less than Chen Shuli's.

After hearing this, Du Wanting was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Boss Chen's daughter?"

"Yes! Don't you know?"

Du Wanting shook her head: "I really don't know."

Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. Wait for me for a while. I'll go eat after I finish what I'm doing. I didn't eat much this morning, so I'm a little hungry."

I collected my thoughts and worked there.

At this moment, she was thinking in her heart.

Even though Wang Qingsong was so rich, his mother was still not very willing, partly because of his father's second wife.

She doesn't want to become like this in the future.

As for the Tang family.

In the mainland, I could afford to have a second wife, but after moving to Hong Kong Island, I was still far from it.

After all, there are not many assets that can be brought over from the mainland.

You know, those who take second and third wives are not ordinary rich people.

Of course, it is not absolute.

Wang Qingsong looked at Du Wanting and clicked his tongue. This girl actually learned how to cheat him.

Then he waited there quietly.

After Du Wanting finished what she was doing, the two of them went to the restaurant downstairs to have a meal.

……

In the afternoon, Wang Qingsong went back to the factory to install surveillance, and there were still many things to deal with.

In the next few days, Wang Qingsong was naturally busy with existing affairs every day.

On May Day, which was a holiday, Wang Qingsong did not go to Hong Kong Island, but accompanied Liang Chunxiao and his sister to go shopping and buy some things.

He called Song Wenqing in the evening.

Asked about the Leap Forward, I don't know if the message transmission was slow or the message was blocked.

Song Wenqing was not aware of this matter.

Wang Qingsong could only let it go.

The next day!

On the evening of May 5, when he arrived in Hong Kong Island again, he called Song Wenqing.

The accident with the Leap Forward occurred on May 5st.

But on May 5, the Japanese All-Asia Radio Station released a news release exposing this matter.

Now I can't hide it anymore.

This incident shocked the whole world.

You know, according to the Convention on the Law of the Sea, cargo ships are regarded as mobile territory, and attacking cargo ships is attacking the opponent's territory.

The matter is very serious.

When Song Wenqing received the call and heard his question, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Something really happened to the ship."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong also sighed.

This is more than 10,000 tons, which is more than 20 million kilograms of grain!
That's it.

The ship was not saved.

To be honest, it was impossible for him not to be disappointed.

He collected his thoughts and asked, "What's the situation? Can you tell me?"

After hearing this, Song Wenqing hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Mr. Li, the higher-ups asked me to express my gratitude to you. The ship did sink, but the details will have to wait until tomorrow. You will know then. I will talk to you in person tomorrow. It is not convenient to talk on the phone."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong became suspicious.

The ship did sink.

But there seemed to be something else in the other person's words.

He wanted to ask in detail, but he knew that Song Wenqing would definitely not tell him anything without his permission.

Thinking of this, he didn't ask any more questions.

After a brief chat, the other party hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Qingsong was thinking.

I have reminded myself.

Something happened.

Is it that no one believes him, or that someone is determined to have his own way?

Except for these two possibilities.

That leaves one more possibility.
