The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

The beginning of June 1947.

In the arcade on Seymour Road, Lin Zhichao got up and looked at his 'Optimus Prime' and comforted him: "Don't be anxious! You are still growing, so don't rush it."

He is only 19 years and 3 months old, so it is not appropriate to intervene in a happy life too early, even though he is extremely powerful.

Ever since he traveled through time, his body has been undergoing secondary development. Originally less than 1.7 meters tall, he is now 1.75 meters tall. He is still growing taller and his body has become stronger. Optimus Prime also changed from medium to large size, which is quite intimidating.

So Lin Zhichao suspected that time travelers had their own bugs. After all, when the soul is injected into a new body, the brain will develop further, causing mutations in the body's cells. Of course, Lin Zhichao will always keep these things deep in his heart and be grateful for God's gifts.

During breakfast.

Wu Wenying said: "Zhichao, your sister and I have been in Hong Kong for two months, and we are somewhat familiar with Hong Kong Island. Now we don't have to bother Junshan to pick us up every day. Now that your career has grown, let Junshan I’ll feel more at ease as I follow you all the time.”

She is considered a woman from an intellectual family, and she is quite knowledgeable. Her son has risen rapidly recently, and as the saying goes, he is too ostentatious, so safety must be the most important thing.

When the mother and daughter came to Hong Kong, Lin Zhichao took out as much time as possible to accompany them around and get familiar with the environment. Usually he sent Lin Xiner to learn English, but Lin Zhichao asked Xue Junshan to accompany Wu Wenying and Lin Xiner.

Lin Zhichao took a sip of chicken soup and then said slowly: "I'm not in any danger, Junshan is just a driver."

He didn't want to create a tense atmosphere for his family, not to mention that he actually didn't take those things to heart. He just saw Xue Junshan on the way and picked it up.

Wu Wenying continued: "The driver is also very important. You suddenly have to use the car for official work, and Junshan is seeing us off, which delays work. We take a rickshaw, it's the same."

Lin Zhichao saw this and no longer forced it.

"Okay, when I make money, I can provide a driver and a car for my family."

Wu Wenying choked, but seeing her son's attitude, she stopped preaching.

Now that her son is older, she has always warned herself to avoid preaching, so as not to cause dissatisfaction with her son and affect the relationship between mother and son.

In fact, she can see that her son is no longer the son he used to be. He is now very independent and not dependent on herself. Although I am a little disappointed, I am also very happy.

Lin Xiner looked at Lin Zhichao with admiration, her brother was so awesome!

Their family has not been wealthy since they were young. In the past, Dadou could only live a good life by teaching. Later, Dadou died of illness, and the whole family relied on his mother to farm and sew clothes. After several years of hard life, Lin Xiner deeply understood how good life is now.

"Brother, when I finish studying, I will work for you!"

Lin Zhichao touched Lin Xiner's little head and said, "Then study hard. After all, after you finish studying, your brother's company may have many college students and international students. You have to use your skills to compete with them. "

Lin Xiner nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Well, my English has improved very quickly recently!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and nodded.

Regarding this sister, he felt that if he could train her, she could join his company. After all, it is my blood relationship, so I can use it with confidence. It doesn't matter if I use it as a younger brother. Moreover, my sister does not need to give shares or companies. She may be a good helper for my son in the future.

Worth cultivating!

After breakfast, Lin Zhichao said goodbye to his family and came to the arcade.

Xue Junshan was already standing next to a second-hand Ford car, waiting for Lin Zhichao, holding a newspaper in his hand.

"Boss, morning"

"Well, morning"

After taking the newspaper, Lin Zhichao sat in the back row.

Xue Junshan got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards Yangtze River Real Estate.

In fact, it is very close. Seymour Road is in Central. Although it is in the Mid-Levels, it is actually very close to the ferry terminal and even closer to Queen's Road. After all, Central is relatively small.

The luxury houses in Hong Kong will extend all the way to the top of the mountain, so the luxury houses in the mid-levels will be built higher and higher until they reach the actual mid-levels of Victoria Peak.

When we arrived at the company, everyone was already busy early.

The number of employees at Changjiang Real Estate has been increasing, and may reach about 20 this year. In fact, it is a bit wasteful, and a dozen people are enough. However, Lin Zhichao likes to cultivate talents slowly, and the company will grow slowly anyway.

When he arrived at the office, Lin Zhichao did not immediately get into work mode, but began to think.

Cheung Kong Real Estate currently has three projects: three tenement buildings at Nos. 46-48 Shanlin Road, four tenement buildings at No. 126 Modus Street, and 26 tenement buildings at Lam Tin Garden in Happy Valley (tentative).

These three projects can probably make profits respectively: 150,000, 200,000, and 500,000, which is almost a profit of 850,000; plus the initial capital of more than 250,000, that is, the total assets next year will be about 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars (rough estimate ).

Now, Lin Zhichao has received the full support of Bank of East Asia, and Hong Kong real estate has been revitalized by him, but other real estate developers may not be able to succeed immediately.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao was thinking that if you hold gold in your hands, it may not double in a year, but in real estate, it can, and it will double steadily.

Therefore, he plans to exchange the 34 pieces of gold in his hand for just over 600,000 Hong Kong dollars - 500,000 Hong Kong dollars of which he will continue to purchase land and old buildings; and the other 100,000 Hong Kong dollars can be used to develop the zipper industry. (Handmade), keep another half on hand for emergencies.

"Develop handmade zippers first, familiarize yourself with the craftsmanship and know-how, and then buy automatic zipper machines at the end of the year, when real estate will also receive a lot of funds."

"Take zippers as an opportunity to intervene in the industrial chain."

Businessmen in Hong Kong like to develop in an all-round way, and so do many families, so Lin Zhichao is no exception. What's more, doing industry is always a good thing.

After a while, Li Gaofu, Lin Zhichao's assistant, came to the office.

"boss"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Brother Gao Fu, wars are going on in the mainland, and I'm afraid there will be a large-scale outbreak. My uncle and aunt are in the mainland. You should bring them to Hong Kong."

Li Gaofu's heart trembled, and he asked nervously: "Will the war go to Guangdong Province, boss, what do you think?"

Lin Zhichao said: "This is inevitable. It's just a matter of time. You decide this matter yourself. Once you decide, ask for leave from the company and handle it as soon as possible when you go back."

Li Gaofu nodded seriously, and said, "Thank you boss for your advice!"

His salary has risen to 200 yuan per month, and it is not very difficult to support his parents, wife, daughter, and son.

Lin Zhichao thought for a while and then said: "As a large number of people move to Hong Kong, some landlords will force tenants to move out. I don't know what will happen to you. But no matter what, you can support your family with your salary now, and you will be able to support your family in the second half of the year." The salary will be raised. If you encounter difficulties, please report to me, and I will personally help you."

Li Gaofu nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, boss." He was sincerely grateful, and he was even more hopeful when he heard that his salary would be increased in the second half of the year.

A person's life is really about meeting noble people, Li Gaofu thought, if he hadn't met his cousin, he would not be where he is today. I'm afraid that for the rest of my life, I will be just an ordinary employee of a foreign company, or at most a small manager.

But it's different now. My cousin's career has just started, his salary is also increasing, and he has a promising future.

At this time, Lin Zhichao said: "I want to open a zipper factory. You are my assistant and you can run this business. First, you need to rent a factory with an area of ​​about 3,000 square feet in Sai Wan, Sheung Wan, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and North Point. It will be all right."

The closer you are to Central, the more convenient the factory is. Only if there are no suitable places in these places, places such as Shau Kei Wan and Tsuen Wan will be considered. At this time, it was only mid-1947, so there should still be a suitable place.

Li Gaofu took out his personal paper and pen and wrote it down, but he was very happy, which meant that his role was greater.

Lin Zhichao continued: "Currently, Asia should be home to handmade zipper factories. Magic City has the largest number of zipper workers, and it is said that there are thousands of them. So the second thing is to recruit skilled zipper workers, first in Hong Kong, or even by others. Going to Shanghai to recruit high-paying people, the most important thing is to recruit a team of skilled workers and management. When the time comes, I will go to Europe and the United States to buy automatic zipper machines, and then sell the products throughout Asia and even Europe and the United States."

He also needs to understand the industry and be familiar with its procedures and techniques. Lin Zhichao is by no means the kind of person who relies solely on information from time travellers. Every time he enters an industry, he will study hard and develop based on his vision.

"Probably just do these two things first, and report any progress to me in a timely manner. Especially after the factory is found, you have to register for the 'Changjiang Industrial' license."

Li Gaofu nodded immediately and said, "Okay!"

He was already shocked by his boss's plan. He actually wanted to go to Europe and the United States to buy an automatic zipper machine. How much faster is that kind of machine than manual work? How expensive is it? Is the quality better?

Unknown to everyone, Li Gaofu also understood that this was his opportunity - his cousin was starting a new career, and he wanted to learn from him and show his value in the new company through study and research.

as expected.

Lin Zhichao reminded: "You can take the time to study the zipper factory, read some magazines, and understand the market."

"Okay, boss."

Li Gaofu was even more happy. He knew that his cousin liked to study. Now that his cousin told him this, did it mean that his cousin intended to cultivate him?

Although he is now the office manager of Changjiang Real Estate, he is actually just an office clerk, running errands for his boss.

After Li Gaofu left, Lin Zhichao knocked on the table and fell into thinking.

The zipper industry is a complete industrial chain involving smelting (aluminum alloy, copper smelting), chemical industry (nylon), textile (zipper cloth), and machinery (improving or developing automatic zipper machines or automatic punches).

And once the industrial chain is involved, then "Yangtze River Industries" will also take advantage of the trend to enter the toys and plastics fields and become a large industrial group.

Of course, Hong Kong's industry is definitely not as good as RB. Lin Zhichao's zipper industry may not be as good as RBYKK zippers. But no matter what, Lin Zhichao can also get a piece of the zipper pie. Everyone has their own advantages, so he will use his own advantages and learn from others' advantages.

With the popularity of Asian trousers, the demand for zippers has increased, and this business will not be lost.

What's more, after establishing an industrial foundation, Lin Zhichao plans to make toys with "soul" and "added value".
