Siheyuan: Reborn Silly Pillar, Taking Control of the Entire Courtyard

In the office of the port city.

A cool breeze from the air conditioner gently caressed the clean and bright office desk.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the bustling and vibrant street scene of Hong Kong, with a constant stream of cars and people.

He Yuzhu leaned back lazily in his large leather office chair.

He tapped the armrest lightly with his fingertips, his expression calm and composed.

Having just returned to Hong Kong, he has a lot of trivial matters piled up on his hands.

But he was not impatient and systematically sorted things out one by one.

He chatted casually with Ah Lang, who was standing in front of the desk, for a few more minutes about their recent situations.

Each sentence is simple, yet it contains a hidden message and offers valuable advice.

After some casual conversation, He Yuzhu raised his hand and waved.

His tone was casual and natural, yet carried an undeniable air of composure.

He simply raised his hand, signaling Ah Lang to leave first.

"Alright, you go ahead and do your thing. I have some personal matters to attend to."

Upon hearing this, Ah Lang immediately bowed and nodded.

Not daring to disturb them further, I turned and quietly left the private office.

The wooden door was gently closed, completely isolating it from all outside noise.

The office instantly became incredibly quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

In the vast space, only He Yuzhu remained, sitting upright.

The surroundings became completely quiet, and no one disturbed us anymore.

He Yuzhu slightly raised his eyes and looked at the old-fashioned landline telephone on the table.

I had already made up my mind about what to do next.

Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and picked up the heavy black microphone.

He skillfully dialed an overseas dedicated line number that he knew by heart.

A steady beeping tone immediately came from the telephone receiver.

beep-

The long, drawn-out dial tone echoed slowly in the quiet office.

They crossed oceans and distances to connect with a contact person on the other side.

A moment later, the call was successfully connected.

A steady, standard English voice with a foreign accent slowly rang out.

"Hello?"

He Yuzhu sat calmly, his tone was calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.

He got straight to the point, stating his core purpose in one sentence.

"Orion, I heard you've been looking for me everywhere lately?"

Orian heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone.

His previously calm tone instantly turned into one of surprise and enthusiasm.

The doubts that had been weighing on my mind for days were finally unleashed at this moment.

"Hey! You finally contacted me!"

"Where have you been all this time? Have you already left Hong Kong?"

"I've inquired from many sources, but I haven't received any news about you."

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, his expression calm and composed.

His tone was relaxed and casual, offering a light and casual explanation.

"I went abroad to take care of some personal business, which took quite a while."

After a brief pause, he casually offered a precise greeting.

"I heard you got promoted recently? Congratulations!"

When talking about his promotion, Orion's tone instantly became cheerful and hearty.

Laughter came through the telephone line, full of triumphant pride.

"Hahaha! All of this is thanks to you, He!"

"Without your prior planning and covert assistance, I would never be where I am today!"

"According to the police department's rules, this was just a minor adjustment in my rank and a slight promotion."

"My job position will remain unchanged, and I will continue to be suppressed."

"My former boss firmly controlled the Kowloon Police Station."

They hogged their spot, refusing to budge an inch, always putting me ahead.

"But because of your contributions and breakthroughs, my rank has directly surpassed his!"

"Now, when he sees me, he has to respectfully call me 'Sir'!"

Hearing the young man's triumphant and spirited demeanor on the other end of the phone.

A faint smile flickered across He Yuzhu's eyes.

His tone was slightly teasing and playful, and he spoke casually and jokingly.

"Look how smug you are."

"The newly appointed deputy commander-in-chief is enjoying immense prestige."

"To be honest, you didn't try to take all the credit for yourself, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Orion immediately spoke up in a serious tone to defend himself.

His attitude was open and sincere, without the slightest bit of narrow-mindedness or desire for credit.

"Heh, you're really underestimating me!"

"I, Orion, am not the kind of person who takes all the credit and is ungrateful!"

"All agents who accompanied the operation and participated in the mission will be promoted one level!"

Everyone received the rewards and promotions they deserved!

"By the way, don't you have two family members working here?"

"They got promoted along with them, didn't you know?"

He Yuzhu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then calmly offered an explanation.

His tone was calm and even, revealing the state of someone who had just returned.

"I was away for too long this time and just got back to Hong Kong."

"I haven't had a chance to go home yet, and I haven't seen my family."

Therefore, I am completely unaware of these subsequent changes.

Orion responded knowingly, then suppressed his smile.

His tone became serious and he steered the conversation toward business.

"By the way, I have two important things I'm waiting to tell you."

"Firstly, Madam Wang's abilities are exceptionally outstanding, and her talent far surpasses that of ordinary people."

"It's a waste of talent for him to stay at the police academy as an instructor all year round."

"I have formally applied to transfer her to a frontline position at the West Kowloon Police Station."

"As for Officer Yu, I also had an in-depth discussion with him about his job assignment."

"But he himself is very determined not to be transferred to a high-risk front-line position."

"I respect his personal choice and will not force him to change his mind."

He Yuzhu listened quietly, understanding all the personnel changes in his mind.

His tone was calm, yet he accurately captured the essence of the matter.

"You went to all the trouble of calling and looking for me, it couldn't be just about this trivial personnel transfer, could it?"

Orion chuckled softly upon hearing this, his tone tinged with mystery.

"That's right, the important thing is yet to come. There's some big news that I'm sure you'll be interested in."

He Yuzhu raised an eyebrow, his tone calm and unhurried.

"Oh? Tell me, what's the news?"

Orion paused for two seconds, composed himself, and began to speak in a deep and detailed voice.

"This year, the upper council of the port city has officially passed a major infrastructure resolution."

"The government plans to build an undersea tunnel that will directly connect Hung Hom and Kei Lit Island."

"The project has been finalized and will officially commence full-scale construction next spring. It is the largest infrastructure project of the year."

"I heard that you recently acquired and took over a local steel mill."

"I specifically asked you, does your steel mill have the capacity to handle orders for special steel used in tunnels?"

He Yuzhu's heart stirred slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

This massive infrastructure project is definitely a huge opportunity with immense potential benefits.

But he remained calm, asking a probing question.

How did you find out about my acquisition of the steel mill?

Orion's laughter was hearty, carrying a clear and confident tone.

"Hong Kong is such a small place, and the circles are interconnected, so there are no secrets to keep."

"Moreover, I hold a high position in the police department, and my access to information is far more extensive than that of ordinary people."

He Yuzhu remained silent for a moment, rationally analyzing the pros and cons.

His tone carried a hint of practical consideration.

"These kinds of large-scale official core infrastructure projects have extremely high thresholds."

"It's not our turn, a newly established local factory, to take over, is it?"

Orian spoke with certainty and confidence.

"As long as your factory can produce qualified tunnel special steel."

"If the quality is excellent and the parameters meet the standards, I'll have the means to operate."

"I can smooth things over for you and make you an officially designated supplier!"

This promise is worth a fortune, and holds immeasurable wealth within it.

He Yuzhu remained cautious and did not gloat blindly.

Calmly raise the most realistic difficulties and problems at present.

"I don't have specific engineering design drawings and parameter standards here."

"Without clear technical specifications, I have no way to customize a smelting plan."

"Moreover, the project will start next year, so time is extremely tight."

"A hasty launch would be too risky and too difficult."

Orian carefully noted down his difficulties and solemnly responded.

"I will do my best to collect the complete set of drawings and technical specifications for you."

"I'll try my best to help you complete all the preliminary information."

He Yuzhu spoke calmly, then followed up with a question.

"Is there anything else besides this?"

Orion then changed the subject, mentioning a second major collaboration opportunity.

"The second thing is that our police station is currently facing a severe shortage of personnel."

"This year, a large number of senior detectives have reached retirement age or voluntarily left their posts, resulting in a huge manpower shortage."

"I have observed the daily training system of the security company members under your name."

"The training methods, combat tactics, and discipline are highly compatible with our police department's newly formed special forces team."

"Your training standards and combat intensity are even more professional and rigorous than our official standards!"

He Yuzhu instantly grasped the key information, his eyes brightening slightly.

"What kind of team have you newly formed?"

Orion uttered the team name in a deep voice.

"PTU".

He then thoughtfully filled in the full name and function.

"Police Tactical Unit, Hong Kong Police Tactical Unit".

"Speaking of this new team, there's also a huge business opportunity in front of you."

"This team has a large number of members, and they are formed and put into service in batches."

"Large-scale deployments require a large number of dedicated patrol vehicles."

He Yuzhu immediately pressed for the core issue.

"What specific car model is it?"

Orion briefly described the requirements.

"These are the armed patrol vehicles we use on our daily patrols; you should have seen them on the streets."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu was momentarily speechless with helplessness.

He subconsciously asked a question, revealing his concerns.

"You're not talking about military armored vehicles, are you?"

"This kind of heavy equipment is completely unnecessary for routine police patrols."

"Furthermore, the government would absolutely never allow private factories to produce police armored vehicles."

Orion immediately rejected the idea, refining the requirements to be more specific.

"It's not a bulky armored vehicle; that's too exaggerated and impractical."

"What I need is to upgrade your existing Jeep model by two sizes."

"It has more space and a stronger carrying capacity, so it can carry more officers and police equipment."

He Yuzhu reacted instantly and blurted out.

"To put it bluntly, it's a police armored vehicle?"

Orion did not confirm directly, his tone cautious and prudent.

I won't describe the specific car model verbally, to avoid any inaccuracies.

"I'll have someone send you the official design drawings and dimensions in a couple of days."

"If you look at the blueprints, you'll know what kind of car model we need."

He Yuzhu readily agreed.

"Okay, no problem."

He then took the initiative to explore business opportunities and followed up with further questions.

"Does your police station plan to purchase standard-issue police cars in bulk?"

Orion immediately responded with a clear answer.

"Of course we need them! The shortage of regular police cars is also huge!"

"It's just that your Mercedes luxury car is too extravagant."

"Using it as an official police car is too wasteful and completely does not fit the police's role."

He Yuzhu nodded knowingly, already having a complete plan in mind.

"I see."

"I'm also waiting for your drawings of the standard police car design blueprints."

Orion immediately tempered his enthusiasm for cooperation and became more cautious.

"By the way, regarding the cooperation on steel for the undersea tunnel, I'm only involved in building the bridges and paving the roads."

"I will no longer get deeply involved or participate in its operation."

"These kinds of major government infrastructure projects are too risky and have too many implications."

"I simply cannot afford the responsibility if even the slightest quality problem occurs."

He Yuzhu understood his concerns and responded calmly.

"Okay, I understand your difficulties."

After a two-second pause, Orion presented another brand-new business opportunity.

"There's one more thing you can research while you're at it."

"Infrastructure construction inevitably requires a large number of engineering vehicles."

"The government will most likely make large-scale purchases of self-loading heavy-duty trucks."

"Your industrial system can definitely try to take over."

He Yuzhu nodded and noted it down, then gave a prudent reply.

"I'll have someone conduct a special investigation and coordinate with them later."

Orion's tone softened, his usual businesslike seriousness fading.

It carries a touch of gentle personal affection.

"Come to my house for dinner whenever you have time, just let me know in advance."

He Yuzhu chuckled in response.

"I'll wait until I've completely finished dealing with all the trivial matters at hand."

"We just changed the layout and the plan, and there are a lot of things that need to be put into practice and sorted out."

Orion readily agreed.

"Okay, you can control the pace yourself, there's no rush."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two ended the call smoothly.

The office returned to silence.

He Yuzhu tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

In just one phone call, two top-tier opportunities of the era were seized.

Orders for special steel for undersea tunnels and a full range of police vehicles.

Each one is a top-tier opportunity capable of supporting a super business empire.

He sat quietly for a moment, sorting out all his thoughts.

Xu Damao never came to report on the matter.

He Yuzhu stopped waiting and got up to straighten his clothes.

He drove directly to the Yellow River Automobile Manufacturing Plant under his own name.

Upon arriving at the factory, he immediately summoned the technical lead.

He explained in detail the development requirements for assault vehicles and police cars that he had just finalized with Orion.

The team was explicitly instructed to patiently wait for the official blueprints and prepare the production line in advance.

We need to refine the process, optimize the equipment, and stockpile raw materials in advance.

We will never fight a battle we are not prepared for.

He explained all the research and development and production tasks of the car factory.

He also specifically contacted professional manager Gu Yuanheng.

The two agreed to go to the steel plant for an on-site inspection two days later.

Gu Yuanheng will invite and connect with top steel management talents in the industry in advance.

This paves the way for the subsequent large-scale, standardized, and high-end development of steel plants.

After finishing the factory business, it was already night.

He Yuzhu drove back to his villa.

The large house was quiet and elegant, brightly lit, warm and tranquil.

Sitting alone in his study, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Activate the personal space to enter the independent storage area.

The supplies inside the space were neatly stacked, and the massive amount of data was categorized.

He quickly searched, organized, disassembled, and sorted out all relevant technical materials.

The development standards for police assault vehicles are being refined one by one.

Police assault vehicles are essentially large and widened special bread van chassis.

However, due to its special purpose and stringent standards, it is far superior to ordinary civilian vehicles.

Multiple hard standards must be met simultaneously.

It boasts extremely high mobility, strong anti-collision performance, and explosion-proof protection capabilities.

Basic ballistic armor, a stable communication system across all domains, and a rapid deployment adaptable structure.

Every parameter must be handled with utmost care and professionalism.

He Yuzhu silently compared the current state of police equipment in the port city.

Nowadays, the patrols on the streets of the port city are all carried by heavy military armored vehicles.

Its appearance is fierce and heavy, giving it a strong sense of intimidation, but it has many drawbacks.

They are bulky and heavy, with extremely poor maneuverability, making it very inconvenient to turn around or navigate through streets and alleys.

The vehicle is large and occupies a lot of road space, affecting the passage of citizens.

Using heavy armored vehicles for routine security patrols can easily trigger public panic.

The oppressive atmosphere is detrimental to harmonious police-community relations.

He Yuzhu accurately identified the market gaps and industry pain points.

This is a brand new blue ocean market with no competition and unlimited potential.

There are no private companies on the market that are deeply involved in the field of police special vehicles.

The official models are outdated and cumbersome, offering a terrible user experience, and urgently need to be updated.

As long as we can manufacture police vehicles that are suitable for the local environment of the port city.

This will inevitably allow them to monopolize the entire Hong Kong police vehicle supply market.

They completely secured the large, stable, and massive orders from the official organization.

The goal is to build cars, build good cars, and build special vehicles.

The most core, most fundamental, and most crucial lifeline is steel.

There are no special steels that meet the standards and have top-notch parameters.

No matter how perfect the blueprints, how advanced the design, or how sophisticated the equipment.

All the vehicles produced were defective or substandard.

All high-end research and development is just empty talk.

Therefore, the top priority right now is to fully revitalize the steel mill.

We have overcome the challenges in special steel smelting technology to ensure stable production capacity and quality.

This will lay the strongest foundation for all future industrial developments.

One night of contemplation and planning, one night of meticulous design.

All industrial chains, development steps, and business opportunities.

Everything was clearly and orderly arranged in He Yuzhu's mind.

The next morning, as dawn broke and the sun rose in the east, the sky began to brighten.

Sunlight bathed the entire courtyard-style villa in the port city.

Early in the morning, Xu Damao, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, took the initiative to visit me.

After not seeing him for many days, Xu Damao's spirit and energy had changed dramatically.

Shedding her former impetuousness and frivolity, she has gained a more composed and capable demeanor in business.

After entering and taking his seat, he immediately launched into a long, rambling speech.

This document details all operational aspects of the Qinquan brand mineral water business during this period.

He reported everything to He Yuzhu in detail, not daring to omit anything.

Today, the Qinquan brand has already fully penetrated the Hong Kong market.

The Qinquan sign can be seen everywhere, in the streets and alleys, and in the shops.

Xu Damao's core objective was extremely clear.

We will spare no effort to expand our store network and enhance brand awareness.

We want everyone in Hong Kong, young and old, to know and appreciate Qinquan.

The industry model has also undergone a comprehensive iterative upgrade in response to market changes.

At present, the water plant has completely stopped supplying bottled water.

All production capacity and all production lines are focused on bottled drinking water.

It focuses on the wholesale channels and retail markets for bottled water.

All these industrial changes were actually driven by passive pressure.

He Yuzhu had previously left Hong Kong and disappeared for a very long time.

The specially prepared water supply that had been reserved before leaving had long since been completely used up.

The water plant team was filled with anxiety, everyone worried that the core water source would be completely cut off.

To ensure the factory can continue operating and business does not come to a complete standstill.

The water plant's technical team worked day and night to study and repeatedly debug the filtration process.

We are fully committed to developing new types of water filtration and purification systems that offer a taste close to that of raw water and maintain stable quality.

This was solely to break free from the exclusive dependence on He Yuzhu's special water source.

To prevent the entire multi-billion dollar empire from collapsing instantly if He Yuzhu goes missing.

Beverage machine manufacturers and refrigerator manufacturers that are tied to water plants.

They also adjusted their core products in line with market trends.

Currently, it is the factory's most popular and in-demand flagship product.

It turned out to be a commercial fully automatic ice maker.

Supermarkets, restaurants, tea houses, and entertainment venues are making massive, bulk purchases.

Orders keep pouring in, and the production line is running day and night, yet demand still exceeds supply.

The independently developed new type of freshly mixed beverages have also successfully entered the market.

Through long-term word-of-mouth accumulation, it has gradually gained widespread recognition from the citizens of Hong Kong.

Six months, a short six-month period.

The combined net profit of the water plant, beverage machine factory, and ice machine factory.

They raked in a whopping three million Hong Kong dollars!

Pure profit! No exaggeration, no false reporting!

For ordinary business people, this is already an astronomical figure that is beyond their reach.

After reporting the results, Xu Damao's eyes lit up and his face was full of enthusiasm.

The way he looked at He Yuzhu was full of admiration and longing.

His tone carried a hint of eager inquiry.

"Brother! Our business is now stable!"

"The profits are getting more and more substantial! Do you have any new money-making ideas?"

"I want to expand my business and earn even more!"

He Yuzhu looked at his eager and ambitious appearance.

With a calm expression, he spoke softly, offering gentle advice and suggestions.

His tone was calm and composed, carrying the wisdom and composure of someone with experience.

"What? You're not even interested in this small profit margin? You're never satisfied?"

"Your most important task at this stage is to steadily and successfully manage the businesses you currently operate in."

"Develop steadily, one step at a time, and don't be greedy for quick results."

"Taking too big a step without a solid foundation is the easiest way to break something."

A straightforward and down-to-earth remark instantly made Xu Damao freeze involuntarily.

He instinctively raised his hand to cover his groin, his face full of embarrassment.

Even after many years, He Yuzhu no longer physically disciplines him.

But the psychological trauma of being kicked and disciplined in childhood has long been ingrained in his bones.

It lingers in my mind, etched in my memory.

With a pained expression, he cautiously begged for mercy.

"Brother! I was wrong! I just wanted to make more money!"

"Can we speak a little more politely? Don't always be so blunt!"

He Yuzhu was too lazy to argue with him, and his tone was crisp and decisive.

"You're doing very well now, just keep going steadily."

"If it's just a trivial matter, you should hurry back and get back to work."

"I have a lot of important things to deal with, I don't have time to chat with you."

Xu Damao quickly shook his head, then spoke seriously, revealing the real thorny problem.

"No, bro! Something really bad has happened!"

"Many people in the market are now eyeing our industry and formula!"

"Someone is offering a high price to buy out our core formulas for beverages and water purification!"

"And countless copycats are trying to replicate the model, opening identical stores to seize market share!"

This is the inevitable phenomenon of bandwagoning and the crisis of covetousness that all booming industries will encounter.

He Yuzhu's eyes sharpened, and his tone became decisive and resolute, instantly setting the tone.

"The core formula will not be sold for a single penny, nor will it be leaked in the slightest."

"If others want to open a shop and follow suit, that's fine, I allow it."

"If you want to do business with us and take over our market, fine."

"But you must pay the franchise fee! Pay the full franchise fee!"

"We provide unified technical training and unified supply of core raw materials."

"We control all standards and all systems!"

"You'll have to figure out the specific franchise details, fee schedules, and management systems yourself."

Xu Damao's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

He stared blankly at He Yuzhu, his eyes wide with amazement.

"Huh? Business can be done like this? You can make money passively by collecting franchise fees?"

He Yuzhu glanced at him indifferently and then casually introduced a higher-dimensional plan.

"Before you expand your franchise system, consult with a securities firm to clarify things."

"We are fully prepared for all the procedures and qualifications required for the company's IPO."

Xu Damao was completely dumbfounded and asked questions in a daze.

"Brother, are you completely abandoning everything here? Are you leaving it all to me?"

He Yuzhu presented the final top-level plan, every word of which was far-sighted and every step of the way was carefully planned.

"I will register a completely new holding group company."

"The new company will hold 100% control of all its businesses, including the water plant, beverage plant, and ice machine plant."

"You will be the one to become the legal representative and publicly identified person in charge of the water plant."

Xu Damao panicked completely and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, bro! This has always been your business, your foundation!"

"How can I be a legal representative? I can't shoulder this responsibility!"

He Yuzhu spoke calmly and slowly as he revealed his ultimate plan.

"The ownership of the top-level shares remains in my hands, and my control remains unchanged."

"But you have complete control over all daily operations, management, and decision-making."

"As the company grows and expands, I will gradually allocate shares to you as dividends."

"This area will become your real estate in the future."

Xu Damao's head was buzzing, and he couldn't wrap his head around it at all.

I felt dizzy and my face was blank.

"I...I'm a little confused, bro, let me sort this out."

He Yuzhu waved his hand calmly, his tone composed and confident.

"Go back and sort it out slowly, learn gradually, and ask questions patiently."

"When will we fully understand the business model, equity structure, and operational logic?"

"When will we start the next phase of franchise expansion and IPO planning?"

Xu Damao nodded blankly and said casually.

"Then I'll go home and ask my wife, and ask her to help me figure it out."

He Yuzhu didn't care at all and responded casually.

"Whatever, ask whoever you want."

"You only need to remember one thing: work steadily to make the company bigger and stronger."

"Don't forget, you'll have a share in this land in the future."

"Work hard, and you'll definitely get what you deserve."

Xu Damao nodded emphatically, his eyes instantly blazing with brilliant light.

My heart was filled with enthusiasm and my whole body was brimming with energy.

In fact, He Yuzhu knew in his heart that he was not entirely familiar with the details of modern equity structure and listing operations.

But he doesn't need to do everything himself or be an expert in every detail.

Leave the professional tasks to the professionals.

He only needs to control the top-level layout and ultimately control the equity.

The future publicly disclosed legal representatives and front-office heads of all its subsidiary companies.

Replace them all with trusted subordinates.

He himself completely disappeared behind the scenes, never showing his face or making any public appearances.

Only in this way can we be unrestrained, plan freely, and be free from constraints.

You can go out and make plans, travel to various places, and accumulate experience with peace of mind.

His current capital accumulation and business foundation are still far from sufficient.

It's not the right time for us to make a high-profile appearance and stand in the spotlight yet.

The key is to remain patient, bide your time, and develop your strength discreetly.

Two days later, He Yuzhu met up with Gu Yuanheng as promised.

The two went to the steel plant together to inspect the current state of the plant.

On the way, He Yuzhu discussed the demand for special steel for the undersea tunnel and steel for police vehicles.

Inform Gu Yuanheng of everything and ask him to take the lead in coordinating the research.

Gu Yuanheng is a top professional manager with extensive connections and rich experience.

After hearing the plan, he instantly understood the whole strategy and readily agreed.

Overjoyed, he was filled with boundless enthusiasm.

He will receive dividends from shares in the Yellow River Automobile Plant and the newly built steel plant in the future.

Even if it's just a small portion of the equity.

It's tens of thousands of times better than working a dead-end job your whole life and receiving a fixed salary.

This is the richest reward he has received for his years of loyal service.

Upon arriving at the steel plant, the factory area happened to be hosting two high-level talent interviews.

Both are rare professionals in the steel smelting industry.

He Yuzhu personally conducted one-on-one interviews and assessments throughout the entire process.

Through layers of questioning, technical assessment, and conceptual examination.

Ultimately, one person was selected based on merit.

This person's name is Xian Xingyao, and he is originally from the mainland.

He studied in Germany at a young age and has been deeply involved in the steel smelting profession for many years.

Master the most cutting-edge and advanced German smelting technologies and process concepts.

With solid professional skills, advanced technical vision, and extremely high adaptability.

The only arrangement was that, in the initial period after Xian Xingyao joined the company, he would be temporarily placed under the unified jurisdiction of Gu Yuanheng.

His job title was deputy director of the steel plant in charge of production technology.

Responsible for front-line smelting production, tackling technical challenges, and improving processes.

When will I be able to independently take charge of the entire factory and be promoted to the position of factory director?

Gu Yuanheng needs to observe, assess, and evaluate this over a long period.

After confirming that his/her abilities, character, and overall vision all meet the requirements, the appointment will be submitted to He Yuzhu for approval.

We must be cautious in our personnel selection, implement rigorous checks at every level, and promote people steadily.

The assessment is complete, the interviews are finished, and the personnel appointment is finalized.

The return journey was quiet and peaceful inside the car.

He Yuzhu casually took out several top-secret technical documents.

He handed them all to Gu Yuanheng beside him.

Special steels specifically designed for high-end engines and precision automotive parts.

Its parameters are ahead of their time, and its performance surpasses all other steels currently on the market.

Gu Yuanheng took the documents and eagerly looked down to examine the parameter details.

The more I looked, the more shocked and amazed I became, and my blood was boiling with excitement.

He couldn't help but turn to look at He Yuzhu, his face full of admiration.

His tone was filled with extreme amazement and curiosity.

"Boss! You didn't go on this trip just to acquire these top-tier technologies and formulas, did you?"

He Yuzhu looked straight ahead, his tone indifferent, and gave a simple reply.

"Um."

"In addition, there is a batch of top-notch imported precision production equipment."

Gu Yuanheng was completely excited, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Boss! This equipment and this technology are all core secrets of major European and American manufacturers!"

"You actually managed to take them all! That's amazing!"

He knew perfectly well how scarce and precious these devices were.

These are all core assets exclusively held by major corporations.

But he knew his limits and strictly adhered to his duties, never asking questions he shouldn't have.

He Yuzhu then issued a series of strict instructions.

His tone was serious, allowing no room for error.

"Once all the equipment arrives, we will immediately assign reliable and trusted workers."

"All foreign language inscriptions, country of origin markings, and brand engravings on the surface of the equipment were filed off and polished clean."

"Uniformly engrave Chinese labels, domestic product number, and factory code."

"This matter must be kept strictly confidential, handled by designated personnel, and absolutely not leaked."

Gu Yuanheng immediately responded with a serious expression.

"Understood! I will follow the boss's instructions strictly! Absolute confidentiality will be maintained!"

"I will immediately select the most reliable experienced employee to handle this matter!"

He Yuzhu continued to arrange follow-up work.

"All accompanying foreign language technical materials were expedited and translated by designated personnel."

"The translated manuscripts will be kept on-site for factory use, while all original foreign language materials will be returned to me for safekeeping."

"Not a single copy may be kept privately, and not a single copy may be leaked privately."

"Yes! I guarantee it will be done!"

He Yuzhu once again unveiled a higher-level R&D plan.

"In addition, all mainstream vehicles currently on the market."

"Regardless of the brand, price range, or country of origin."

"We buy one of each vehicle, disassemble it, reverse engineer it, and conduct benchmarking analysis."

"Only by thoroughly understanding others' strengths and weaknesses can we truly succeed."

"Only then can we accurately identify our gaps and achieve a breakthrough, overtaking and crushing our competitors."

Gu Yuanheng hesitated slightly upon hearing this, and whispered a reminder.

"Boss, purchasing whole vehicles for dismantling in bulk will be extremely costly."

He Yuzhu's eyes were calm and his confidence was unwavering.

"I've invested all my money to build those huge steel mills and car factories."

"Are we really short of a little money for benchmarking and R&D? Go for it!"

"Yes! I'll take care of it immediately!"

He Yuzhu took the opportunity to offer some pointers and suggestions, broadening his thinking.

"Learn more from Da Mao's way of thinking."

"Open your mind, broaden your vision, dare to think and act, and dare to plan."

Gu Yuanheng sincerely admitted his mistake and humbly accepted the lesson.

"In this respect, I am indeed far less daring and enterprising than Mr. Xu."

He Yuzhu spoke calmly, revealing the core message.

"He was just an ordinary salesman back then, with limited vision and resources."

"The reason we have grown to where we are today is because we dared to break through existing limitations."

"You should communicate and learn from him more, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses."

"Understood! I will definitely communicate more and learn more!"

He Yuzhu then shifted the focus, reiterating the key tasks.

"The research and development of police cars and armored vehicles must be accelerated!"

"I have only one goal."

"In the future, all standard police cars and patrol vehicles will be present on the streets of Hong Kong."

"Replace all of them with vehicles manufactured by our Yellow River Industrial! Dominate Hong Kong's police vehicle fleet!"

Gu Yuanheng quickly responded, then explained with a hint of helplessness.

"Boss! We'll expedite it as much as possible!"

"It's just that the development of the whole vehicle, the polishing process, and the testing and tuning all take time."

"Building cars is not something that can be accomplished overnight, so please give us some time, boss."

He Yuzhu spoke in a calm tone, conveying extreme confidence and strict requirements.

"You are starting from the shoulders of all the technological advancements of your predecessors."

"Others started from scratch, made breakthroughs from zero, and explored step by step."

"You have blueprints, parameters, benchmarks, and mature formulas."

"If you copy, modify, and optimize, you still can't keep up with the times and can't produce results."

"Then there's no need for this factory to exist; I can just shut it down."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanheng felt a chill run down his spine and immediately made a solemn statement.

"We'll give it our all! We absolutely won't let our boss down!"

He Yuzhu raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder.

His tone was deep and serious, revealing the fierce competition to come.

"Do a good job."

"Your current competitors appear to be small local factories in Hong Kong."

"But the real competitors in the future are all overseas, in the international market."

"The road ahead is extremely difficult, the competition is fierce, and every step is fraught with thorns."

Gu Yuanheng's eyes were firm, and his words were resounding.

"From the day I took over the factory, I knew the road ahead would be difficult!"

"I will do my best and never let you down!"

"Great! I eagerly await your brilliant achievements!"

From then on, Yellow River Industry proceeded on two fronts simultaneously and at full speed.

Steel mills tackled the challenge of producing specialty steels, while automobile factories tackled the challenge of producing police vehicles.

Time flies, and January has passed in the blink of an eye.

Xian Xingyao, a key technical staff member who joined the steel plant.

Quickly familiarize yourself with the factory's equipment, production capacity, and technological shortcomings.

They quickly got into work mode and immediately put forward a series of upgrade requests.

High-end smelting equipment, professional and technical personnel, and brand-new process solutions.

He Yuzhu was never stingy and directly provided advanced equipment in bulk.

All exclusive top-secret technical information was distributed.

The moment Xian Xingyao saw the equipment and materials, he was completely stunned and speechless.

Before he joined the company, he was extremely pessimistic about the local steel industry in Hong Kong.

With scarce resources, outdated technology, and obsolete equipment, it is impossible for them to rise to prominence.

But He Yuzhu has a continuous supply of top-notch equipment and secret formulas.

Give him a powerful shot of adrenaline!

It gave him an instant glimpse of boundless hope for the rise of China's domestic steel industry!

For three months, they worked day and night to tackle the challenges, repeatedly debugged, and improved the process.

The steel plant successfully produced its first batch of high-standard, high-precision special steel and industrial cast iron.

All parameters meet the standards, and its performance far surpasses that of similar products on the market!

Completely meets all the needs of tunnel infrastructure and high-end automotive parts!

At the same time, the Yellow River Automobile Plant was operating at full speed.

The vehicle frame for police assault vehicles and standard police cars was successfully developed first.

The technology is mature, the structure is stable, and the anti-collision and explosion-proof performance all meet the standards.

The only thing waiting is for the localization and assembly of the self-produced special engine.

To ensure absolute confidentiality and eliminate any risk of technology leakage.

He Yuzhu ultimately did not provide the complete vehicle drawings and core parameters.

The leak was passed on to Orion at the police station.

Once the blueprints are leaked, they are very easy for outsiders to imitate, steal, or pirate.

When Orion learned the reason, he showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

Instead, he personally visited the car factory to observe the prototype's manufacturing process firsthand.

After seeing the prototype in person, I was deeply impressed.

We solemnly promise to keep the entire process confidential and will never disclose any technical details.

October, 1969.

The first standard police car independently developed and produced by the Yellow River Automobile Factory.

It has been successfully decommissioned and perfectly launched!

In December of the same year, the first prototype police assault vehicle was successfully completed!

On the day the prototype was launched, Orion personally led the team.

The police station assembled a group of technical experts, duty officers, and equipment managers.

The delegation visited the Yellow River Automobile Factory for comprehensive and rigorous testing from multiple angles.

Power, protection, mobility, space, communication, adaptability, and safety.

All test items were passed with full marks!

All the police officers and technicians present were full of praise!

Everyone agreed that this model was tailor-made for the Hong Kong Police Force!

Maximize cargo space within a very small vehicle body size.

It takes into account the carrying capacity of on-duty personnel, police equipment, and emergency supplies.

It is also perfectly adapted to the narrow streets and complex road conditions of Hong Kong.

Explosion-proof, bulletproof, impact-resistant, and highly mobile, with no weaknesses in any aspect.

Even the vehicle's structural design inspired the police force's operational tactics.

This provides a brand-new solution for subsequent police duties, emergency response, and patrol deployment.

The test was successfully completed, and multiple police stations in West Kowloon jointly signed a petition.

Submit a formal procurement request to the higher-level department!

Bulk purchase of Yellow River brand standard police cars and police assault vehicles!

The Police Force's logistics department takes this matter very seriously.

We immediately dispatched a professional inspection team to conduct an on-site inspection and audit of the factory.

This inspection has long since moved beyond focusing solely on vehicle quality.

Instead, it involves a comprehensive review of the factory's scale, technical capabilities, production system, and management standards.

When a group of logistics officials and equipment experts entered the factory, everyone was shocked.

No one expected that Hong Kong, such a small place, would be like this.

It's unbelievable that there's a privately owned car factory with such top-notch technology and such a complete system hidden away!

A group of officials frequently travel abroad to inspect major European, American, and Japanese factories.

Extremely high standards and very strict requirements.

However, they still commented that although the Yellow River Automobile Plant's hardware scale was not top-notch.

However, in terms of technological reserves, management system, and process precision, it is in no way inferior to the top international manufacturers!

At that moment, everyone felt as if they had discovered a hidden, priceless treasure.

It is important to know that imported official vehicles have extremely high tariffs and are very expensive.

The government wastes a huge amount of tax revenue on the purchase of official vehicles every year.

Domestically produced high-end police cars are of high quality, inexpensive, have convenient after-sales service, and are exempt from tariffs.

Its price-performance ratio surpasses all imported models!

The logistics department immediately seized the opportunity to expand cooperation.

It is no longer limited to police special vehicles.

Proactively consult on customized procurement plans for official vehicles.

Huanghe Industrial launched a brand-new series of models in response to the trend.

The upgraded Mercedes-Benz Z200, Q200, and M200 series have made their dazzling debut!

A groundbreaking streamlined design and a simple yet sophisticated body structure.

Compared to the boxy, bulky, and outdated old-fashioned vehicles currently on the market.

In terms of appearance, technology, sophistication, and luxury, it completely surpasses everything else!

It instantly amazed the audience and firmly attracted the attention of all official procurement personnel.

Shocked, everyone began to inquire about the controlling shareholder behind the factory.

Gu Yuanheng followed the pre-set script and materials.

The company's equity structure and registration information shall be disclosed truthfully.

After reviewing the materials, all the officials conducting the inspection were once again dumbfounded!

This is a Hong Kong-based industrial giant with cutting-edge technology and strong financial backing.

The apparent holding company is actually a purely English registered company!

Although it appears to be a foreign-invested enterprise, it actually caters to local needs and adapts to the Chinese community in every aspect.

This made all the foreign officials feel close to them and trust them.

Unbeknownst to anyone, this complex equity structure was meticulously planned by He Yuzhu.

Orion intervened, entrusting it to a distant maternal relative and the family steward.

Register an offshore holding company in England.

Then, through multiple layers of bearer equity companies, cross-shareholding and nesting are achieved.

The outermost layer consists of foreign shell companies, and the middle layer consists of nominee companies.

The ultimate controlling entity at the top is a private company registered under the real names of He Yuzhu's family members.

Multiple nesting, multi-layered isolation, and complete stealth.

Using the investigative methods and tracing techniques of the 1960s and 1990s.

It's simply impossible to find the real mastermind behind it all—He Yuzhu!

Whether it's a steel mill, a car factory, a water plant, or an ice machine factory.

All of its subsidiaries use the same hidden equity structure.

Professionals had already conducted prior research on this.

A single Hong Kong-based company is too small in scale and too weak in reputation.

It is difficult for them to expand beyond Hong Kong, connect with the international community, and undertake top-tier official orders.

It is a model of foreign-funded shell, local operation, and Chinese core.

It can enjoy preferential treatment for foreign investment while also catering to the local market.

It perfectly adapts to the needs of all official collaborations and international trade.

The patent system is being improved in parallel.

All vehicle model patents, steel smelting patents, and beverage formula patents.

All global registrations have been completed, ensuring legal compliance and exclusive ownership.

Layer upon layer, watertight, and unbreakable.

Subsequent collaborations proceeded smoothly and without any obstacles.

Foreign officials are willing to support local partner companies.

It also allows for compliant profit-making opportunities in procurement collaborations.

Mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial, everyone is happy.

On the other hand, Xu Damao's Qinquan brand completely swept across Hong Kong.

Franchise stores are springing up everywhere, and can be seen on every street and alley.

The franchise system has been fully implemented, is operating smoothly, and generates stable profits.

They relied on the vast amount of commercial land that He Yuzhu had acquired at low prices in his early years.

Franchise stores boast excellent location selection, extremely low costs, and extensive coverage.

This laid an absolute foundation for brand expansion and complete market dominance.

The water plant industry successfully completed its listing and listing, and its capital was fully revitalized.

The business model, franchise system, and brand premium are far more profitable than the profit from products alone.

After going public, the capital increased exponentially, and wealth multiplied wildly.

He Yuzhu made a special arrangement for Xiaoman, who had just completed a year of graduate studies in finance, to attend.

He personally led the team and assembled a professional trading team.

Accurately grasp the market rhythm, buy low and sell high, and reap the benefits.

In a short period of time, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in working capital were cashed out from the stock market!

The only limitation is that its subsidiaries are still too small.

If the scale is large enough, it is entirely possible to reap hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in dividends.

During that period, Xu Damao witnessed firsthand the speed at which capital created wealth.

The person was in a state of extreme excitement throughout the entire process.

He finally understood that real wealth is never earned through hard work in business.

Instead, it relies on capital fission, overwhelming market structure, and exploiting information asymmetry!

Making money this way is faster and more profitable than robbing someone!

After the initial excitement subsided, he was repeatedly reprimanded and given a thorough education by Ye E and Xiao Man.

He should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, calm his mind, and steadily cultivate his business.

Curb your impetuousness and steadily expand your business.

Once Xu Damao calmed down, his horizons broadened considerably.

They have already set their sights on the vast market beyond Hong Kong.

He secretly conceived a brand new expansion plan, waiting only for the right opportunity.

At the end of 1969, Yellow River Industry launched a large-scale public recruitment drive.

Improve organizational structure, expand production team, and build operational system.

The company's legal representative and front-line leader has been officially changed to A Lang.

Ah Lang returns to his old profession, taking charge of front-office operations at a real estate company.

Ah Feng was subsequently transferred to Yellow River Industry to assist in managing the business.

The original security company was spun off from the group's structure.

The entire management was entrusted to Shi Fu.

It was still managed directly by He Yuzhu, with independent accounting and secret operations.

It is not affiliated with any company, is not publicly disclosed, and remains unknown to the public.
